Chapter 581 Underestimated Air Raid
"Buzz buzz..." Two planes that circled three circles above the head of the National Salvation Army finally launched an attack.
One of the planes was like an eagle that discovered its prey, diving towards the ground with a huge scream.
The roar from the engine became louder and louder, like thunder, buzzing the ears of the warriors on the ground.
When there were more than 200 meters above the ground, it quickly lifted up, then passed over everyone's heads against the ground and returned to the high altitude.
The moment the dive was changed to pulling up, the two bombs quickly broke away from the fuselage and continued to smash towards the ground along the dive route of the aircraft.
"Boom..." Two explosions sounded on the ground at the same time. The rolling black smoke was like a mushroom cloud, rising from the ground, 20 or 30 meters high. The positions under her feet shook twice in the explosion, which shows how amazing the explosion just now was...
Chen Zhengyu set up the command center in a concrete structure castle in the second trench.
Because the National Salvation Army was too fast to attack, the puppet army was killed and defeated as soon as they came into contact. In order to survive, they could only escape all the way. Few people would think of destroying fortifications and machine gun castles before retreating.
Of course, even if they thought about it, they would not do it. The National Salvation Army was tightly tied behind them and would be caught up after a few seconds, let alone stopping to blow up fortifications and castles.
Maybe they had just arranged the explosives and the National Rescue Army had already reached their sight.
Therefore, the concrete castles built by the Japanese and puppet troops on the two main trenches were all fully accepted by the National Salvation Army.
After a little transformation of the engineering company, it became Chen Zhengyu's temporary command center. Several telephone lines were also drawn to each main company to ensure that it knew the latest battle situation on the battlefield as soon as possible.
The two bombs that had just exploded hit more than 200 meters away from the command center. The huge power scared everyone. After seeing two balls of black smoke rising from the ground through the shooting hole, Chen Zhengyu's face became particularly ugly.
Just listening to the sound, he knew that the power of these two bombs was amazing. If nothing unexpected happened, with the blasting point as the center, even if the warriors within twenty meters of the surrounding area were not killed, they would be shocked to death by the powerful shock wave!
He raised his eyebrows and ordered: "The explosion happened to be located in the second battalion of the Pingding Guard. Call them immediately and ask about their losses."
"By the way, I'll send an order. The bombing of the Japanese plane has just begun. After the bombing is over, there will be artillery bombing. Everyone must hide it. Without my order, no one can reveal his head from the trenches. All soldiers with anti-cannon holes hide in the anti-cannon holes. The soldiers without anti-cannon holes hide in the nearest machine gun castle. After we repel the first attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, we will continue to repair the anti-cannon holes."
"The battle has just begun, and the Japanese and puppet troops' subsequent attacks will definitely become more and more fierce. We must be fully prepared so that the casualties of the troops can be minimized."
After giving the order, Chen Zhengyu looked at the telegrapher beside him: "Have you not contacted the regiment commander yet?"
The radio operator shook his head: "Not yet. I guess the regiment commander and others are transferring. The Japanese army can send planes to bomb us, and they will definitely send planes to attack the regiment commander!"
"Continue to contact!" Chen Zhengyu agreed with this analysis very much, then frowned and ordered.
When his eyes turned to the battlefield again, the second Japanese aircraft began to dive...
"Boom..." The two bombs landed closer to the command center. The moment when the rolling black smoke rose from the ground, Chen Zhengyu clearly saw the scene of several soldiers being bombed into the sky...
The fist couldn't help but squeezed it up, and he was very anxious inside.
A soldier was blown away, which means that at least one of the two shells just now hit the edge of the trench, and the troops suffered great losses.
The staff officer who called the Pacification Guard happened to come over and reported with a solemn look on his face: "Chief of Staff, the first round of two bombs caused two squads to the Second Battalion... The two bombs that exploded just now had not yet counted, but there were only a few more."
"It's all my fault!" A trace of pain flashed on the solemn face of the Chief of Staff, and he said very regretfully.
"If I hadn't thought about taking advantage and decided to temporarily kill the Japanese and puppet troops and retaliate, these soldiers would not have died..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the command center's phone rang, and the combat staff quickly grabbed the microphone.
After listening to it for less than half a minute, the expression on his face was obviously heavier than before. He frowned and reported: "Chief of Staff, the casualties caused to us by the second round of two bombs have been counted: it is larger than I imagined. One bomb just hit the trench, and a whole infantry platoon was blown away. Another bomb hit the trench near the trench, killing and injuring one of our infantry squad soldiers..."
Chen Zhengyu was so angry that he couldn't speak anymore.
The battle had just begun, and the Japanese and puppet troops had not officially started the attack, and just four aviation bombs brought losses to the troops to the two infantry platoons.
Under normal circumstances, a Japanese aircraft can carry six bombs, and the two aircraft have twelve total. At the current loss rate, after all the twelve bombs are smashed, the two infantry companies will be gone.
Next comes artillery fire strikes, and the troops will definitely suffer greater losses.
When the Japanese and puppet troops officially start the attack, the overall losses of the troops will definitely exceed 500 people.
If such an attack occurs several times more, the troops in your hands will be beaten out before they can last until dark.
At that time, not only will he not be able to be a bait, but he will also trap himself, compensate his wife and soldiers.
The more Chen Zhengyu thought about it, the more anxious he became, and turned his attention to the radio operator again.
Faced with the current dilemma, he could no longer think of a way to break the deadlock, so he could only pin his hopes on the team leader. He was good at using strange tricks and would definitely have a way to help him break the deadlock.
I asked anxiously: "Have you not contacted the team leader yet?"
As soon as the radio operator was about to shake his head, the red light on the radio began to flash, and a surprise flashed quickly on his anxious face. He was very happy to report: "Report to the Chief of Staff, just contacted!"
"That's great!" Chen Zhengyu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this good news, stared at the radio operator and began to give orders: "Send a telegram to the regiment commander immediately. We were besieged by the Japanese and puppet troops in Yangquan, and the troops suffered heavy losses. Please support!"
"Tell the regiment commander again: We were surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops near the railway ten kilometers south of Yangquan City, and were relying on the two main trenches built by the Japanese and puppet troops to guard the aid. We planned to use bait to attract all the Japanese and puppet troops in Yangquan, and gather them and annihilate them after the main force of the regiment arrives."
"But the Japanese army dispatched planes and a large number of artillery to attack us, and the troops were bombed and suffered great losses. I hope the regiment commander can have a way to reduce our losses!"
The radio operator quickly received the order: "I will send a telegram now..."
Before Zhou Cheng could take a breath when he returned to Shouyang, Deng Jinghua, deputy platoon leader of the communications platoon, came over and reported with a anxious look: "Captain, the chief of staff has an accident. The troops were besieged by the Japanese and puppet troops in Yangquan, with heavy casualties and urgently needed reinforcements!"
"What?" Zhou Cheng's smile disappeared suddenly, and he snatched the telegram from Deng Jinghua's hand.
Dong Fei and He Feng stood beside him. After listening to Deng Jinghua's report, the two of them became anxious and stared at the telegram in Zhou Cheng's hand.
Before Zhou Cheng finished reading it, he asked in a hurry: "Captain, what's wrong with the Chief of Staff? Do we want us to lead troops to kill him immediately!"
"Don't be impulsive..." Zhou Cheng replied very seriously, and then handed the telegram to the two of them!
