Currently, only half of the 13th Cavalry Regiment remains.
There is still one Type 97 and Type 95 tank.
In Tadamichi Kuribayashi's view, more than 80 aircraft taking off from Peiping, and at most 0 bombers and 10 fighter jets, could kill the Eighth Route Army's tanks.
The remaining aircraft can inflict a large number of casualties on the Eighth Route Army's cavalry and infantry, and even have the opportunity to destroy the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery positions.
In this way, the Ritsubayashi detachment can turn defeat into victory, and has a great chance of winning.
Thinking of this, Major General Tadamichi Kuribayashi regained his confidence.
"The order was sent, after the aviation force attacked the Eighth Route Army, each regiment immediately turned to counterattack and wiped out all the new regiments!"
"Cut off Li Yunlong's head!"
Kuribayashi Tadamichi ordered with a cold tone.
"Hi!"
The communications staff officer quickly picked up the phone and sent orders to the various Japanese units.
At this time, the detachment chief of staff walked up to Kuribayashi Tadamichi and said in a deep voice: "Detachment leader, I always feel something is wrong?"
"Harada-kun." Tadashi Kuribayashi turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lieutenant Commander Harada said: "Li Yunlong must know that the Locust Army has fighter jets and bombers. In this case, Li Yunlong is still launching a swaggering attack during the day, placing all the tanks in a frontal attack. The tanks on the ground are live targets for bombers and fighter jets. Either Li Yunlong
Either on purpose or this is a trap!"
Kuribayashi Tadashi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had also thought about this, but had no idea at all.
Logically speaking, Li Yunlong commanded the Eighth Route Army to kill 7 Japanese generals and tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers.
The record was impressive. Today, Tadashi Kuribayashi played against Li Yunlong, but I didn’t see anything commendable about Li Yunlong. It was just because of his good equipment.
However, Tadashi Kuribayashi thought about it and even did a military flag deduction in his mind, but he still couldn't figure out how Li Yunlong could deal with the Locust Army's aviation force.
"Trap?" Tadamichi Kuribayashi asked, "What trap?"
"This..." Harada Nakasa said, "I don't know yet, but a world-shattering general like Li Yunlong should not make such a mistake..."
Li Linzhongdao snorted coldly and said: "Everyone makes mistakes, and Li Yunlong is not a god, so why can't he make mistakes?"
Harada Nakasa said: "Perhaps Li Yunlong has a way to deal with the Locust Army aircraft."
"Are you talking about machine guns and anti-aircraft guns?"
Kuribayashi Tadamichi said coldly: "This is a bit troublesome, but it would be too fanciful to try to prevent the Locust Army aviation from blowing up the tanks with machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. This time General Okamura personally ordered them to be blown up at any cost.
As long as the tanks of the Eighth Route Army can blow up all the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, the loss of ten or twenty aircraft will be worthwhile."
In the Battle of Taiyuan, in order to blow up nearly 100 cannons at the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions, the fighters and bombers of the 3rd Flying Division fought hard against the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft firepower, resulting in the loss of more than 110 aircraft.
This time, in order to blow up the Eighth Route Army tanks, the Japanese pilots were ready for a suicide attack.
Upon seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Harada said no more. As the chief of staff of the Kuribayashi detachment, he had already fulfilled his responsibilities.
…
New regiment headquarters.
The General Staff made statistics on the approximate casualties and results of the combat units.
….
Chief of Staff Wang Dehou reported to Li Yunlong: "According to staff statistics, the two tank battalions lost a total of 4 Panther tanks, the first and second battalions of the main infantry together suffered more than 400 casualties, the cavalry battalion suffered more than 100 casualties, and the jeep platoon lost one jeep.
.”
Li Yunlong's expression remained unchanged and his eyes were calm: "How many Japanese were killed?"
Wang Dehou then said: "Preliminary estimates indicate that the Japanese infantry casualties exceeded 100, the Japanese cavalry suffered more than 700 casualties, and most of the tanks of the 13th Japanese Chariot Regiment were destroyed."
"This casualty ratio is not bad!"
Zhao Gang nodded: "The ones defending the position are the elite units of the Japanese A-type division.
If it were replaced by an infantry regiment of a second-line division, our main infantry battalion would suffer at most 100 to 200 casualties."
Although the combat effectiveness of the Type A Division is strong, the firepower of the new regiment cannot be resisted by the elite regiment of the Japanese Type A Division.
After the bombardment of 31 10mm heavy artillery pieces, two tank battalions with a total of 64 tanks pressed forward, and another infantry regiment could not withstand it.
Many Japanese soldiers of the 39th Regiment fired grenades before they died, and died together with the soldiers of the new regiment. This resulted in more than 400 casualties.
Moreover, not even a single Japanese prisoner was captured in this battle.
The fighting will of the soldiers of the Japanese A-type division is ranked among the best in the world.
Wang Dehou continued: "According to the tank battalion's report, about 40 tanks were destroyed."
Xing Zhiguo's tone was full of surprise, and he said: "The Japanese tanks have a battle loss ratio of 10 to 1 compared to ours. This data is very impressive!"
Wang Dehou smiled and said: "Wrong, it's not 10 to 1."
"I don't study well, so don't lie to me." Xing Zhiguo said, "40 to 4, not 10 to 1, what is that?"
Wang De said kindly: "Our tanks were not killed by the Japs' tanks. One of the tanks was blown up by the Japs with explosives, and the other tank was blown up by the Japs' cannon."
Although the mistake was corrected, Xing Zhiguo's eyes suddenly lit up: "So, the battle loss ratio between Japanese tanks and our tanks is 40 to 0?"
Wang Dehou nodded: "That's right!"
The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth also curled up slightly. As expected, Boss Chen's products must be high-quality.
In less than a morning, it was all thanks to those two tank battalions to kill so many Japs.
At this time, Li Yunlong had already deployed the cavalry, infantry and tank battalions in an offensive posture.
Li Yunlong concluded that the Japanese would send out planes. Tadashi Kuribayashi, who had suffered a heavy loss, still had most of his troops in hand and would not retreat so easily.
If Li Yunlong were Tadamichi Kuribayashi, he would definitely use the opportunity of air support to push back.
Li Yunlong estimated that he and Ribayashi Tadashi were waiting for air support.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If both sides have no air support, Li Yunlong will lead the new regiment to beat the shit out of the Ribayashi detachment.
But the Japs have air support, and so does the Eighth Route Army.
Moreover, my air support is specifically designed to defeat your little devil's air support. Li Yunlong raised his watch and looked at it, hoping that Boss Chen's air support would arrive in time.
Commander Li, Monkey King, has ordered the tank troops to withdraw from the Leopard and Jia Fei tanks.
In this way, even if the Japanese plane arrives first and blows up the tank, at least the tank crew will be safe, and after the battle, Boss Chen will reimburse the lost tanks.
….
After about 0 minutes, Li Yunlong and everyone heard a buzzing sound in their ears.
The buzzing sound got louder and louder from far to near. Judging from the roar alone, you could tell that there were a lot of planes coming!
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang hurriedly raised their telescopes and looked toward the northeastern sky where the roar came from. They saw a large group of aircraft engines roaring towards them in the direction of the rising sun.
With just one glance, everyone could clearly see that this was a Japanese plane. Judging from the number, there should be no less than 80 of them.
"The Japanese planes came out in full force!"
Zhao Gang's expression was slightly stern. 80 Japanese planes were in the sky, and he felt a sense of oppression.
If the Japanese plane flew lower, it would make a huge roar and the sense of urgency would be even stronger.
As time went by, the Japanese aircraft fleet got closer and closer. Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo's breathing became more rapid, and their eyes were fixed on the Japanese aircraft fleet.
Although there are no tank soldiers in the tanks, after the Japanese planes have finished blowing up the tanks, they will definitely look for a new regiment of artillery positions and infantry to continue bombing.
On the plain terrain, there is no shelter. Even if the troop formation is relatively scattered, the casualties from the bombing of the Japanese aircraft group will not be small.
if.
At this time, the Kuribayashi detachment launched another counterattack, and the situation of the new regiment became very bad.
The roar of the Japanese aircraft group became louder and louder. In the field of view of the telescope, the Japanese aircraft group seemed to have discovered a new group of tanks. At the same time, it was discovered that there was no anti-aircraft firepower around the tanks. Several Japanese fighter jets and bombers formed a small attack formation and headed towards the new group.
A group of tanks swooped down from the position.
The vast majority of the Japanese aircraft did not dive for attack, and the new group of powerful anti-aircraft firepower made the Japanese pilots dare not engage in unscrupulous dive shooting and bombing.
"Captain, look, Boss Chen's plane has arrived!"
At the critical moment, Xing Zhiguo suddenly shouted.
"Where is it?"
Captain Li asked impatiently, and even Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou quickly looked at Xing Zhiguo.
Xing Zhiguo pointed toward the northeast: "That's where it is!"
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou hurriedly raised their telescopes and looked. They saw about 30 Saber fighter jets emerging from the clouds in the direction of the sun, heading towards the Japanese plane rapidly.
Behind the Saber fighters, there were 10 B9 bombers.
Seeing this scene, Commander Li was relieved and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:
"Haha, now we have something good to watch!"
Not long after he finished speaking, Boss Chen's Saber fighter accelerated towards the Japanese plane.
The three Saber fighters at the front had blue lights under their wings. The pilot pressed the launch button of the 0mm cannon, and chains of bullets suddenly appeared in the sky.
These bullet chains were whipped towards the Japanese plane like the whip of death.
Immediately, a Japanese plane was blown up in the air while shaking.
Seeing their own aircraft on the flank being smashed into pieces, the Japanese pilots were stunned and completely defenseless, without even the slightest mental preparation.
Although the Japanese pilots were mentally prepared for a suicide attack, they never expected that the Eighth Route Army's attack would come from the sky.
However, these Japanese pilots reacted extremely quickly and made evasive maneuvers almost at the moment when the plane was blown up in the sky.
The air battle between Sabre fighter jets and Japanese fighter planes is about to break out!
As soon as the Japanese pilots fought against each other, they discovered to their despair that not only were the aircraft on both sides not at the same level, but the gap between the pilots was also huge.
The average enemy aircraft pilot has the level of an ace pilot, while the Japanese pilots still have many novices who have just graduated.
The Japanese only have 0 fighter planes, the other 40 are bombers, and 0 reconnaissance planes.
The result was complete abuse. As time passed coldly and steadily, Japanese planes were blown up in the air one after another.
