30 heavy bombers slowly opened their bomb bays, and huge metal bullet-like bombs fell hard with a sharp whistling sound.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."
As the ground-penetrating bombs, napalm bombs and aerial bombs fell to the ground, accompanied by explosions like landslides and earth-shattering, countless huge fireballs rose from the location of Unit 731.
The wind speed was relatively light today, and most of the bombs did not miss their target, directly blowing up the Jaap 731 unit's station into a sea of flames.
Before the Japanese ground troops who came in as reinforcements could escape, they became the grave goods of the 731 unit station.
After dropping the bombs, all the bombers that carried out the surgical strike quickly rose to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters.
The Japanese fighter pilots who followed closely could only watch the Eighth Route Army bombers fly away.
…
"Your Excellency, Commander."
"The matter has been cleared up."
Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters, Deputy Chief of Staff Junhisa Ikeda quickly walked into the operations hall and reported to General Yoshijiro Umezu.
"Have you checked it out?"
Umezu Meijiro's expression changed, and Kasahara Yukio on the side also quickly looked at Ikeda Junhisa.
"Hi."
Ikeda Junhisa lowered his head, and then reported very quickly:
"The 731 headquarters was just attacked by 30 heavy bombers. The entire 731 headquarters was reduced to scorched earth. It can be determined that these are bombers of the Eighth Route Army."
"In addition, in Harbin and near the 731 headquarters, ordinary people and soldiers of the Locust Army saw heavy aircraft that looked like dragonflies coming and going."
Kasahara Yukio nodded and said.
"Your Excellency, General."
"It now appears that those who attacked Harbin and the 731 headquarters were not the Soviet army, but the Eighth Route Army, and most likely the special forces of the Eighth Route Army."
"The special forces of the Eighth Route Army arrived near Harbin on Dragonfly aircraft, attacked the 731 headquarters, then left by plane, and finally sent heavy bombers to carry out the bombing."
"Did our fighter jets shoot down the Eighth Route Army's bombers?" Umezu Yoshijiro only cared about whether they shot down the Eighth Route Army's bombers.
The Kwantung Army's hinterland was attacked in this way, important military targets were destroyed, and a major general was killed.
He will definitely be scolded by the base camp.
If we could shoot down a few Eighth Route Army heavy bombers, we might be able to outweigh the merits and demerits.
Junhisa Ikeda sounded helpless: "This bombing is exactly the same as the Eighth Route Army's bombing of the Empire's mainland Tokyo and the Shokaku aircraft carrier. All the Eighth Route Army's bombers dropped bombs at high altitudes. After dropping aerial bombs, they immediately rose to high altitudes and our fighter jets could not reach them.
."
"idiot!"
Hearing this, Umezu Yoshijiro couldn't hold it in any longer, and with a clang he drew out the general's sword from his waist.
…
afternoon.
Taiyuan.
New group.
Regiment Headquarters.
"Report!"
A powerful voice sounded outside the door of the regiment headquarters operations hall.
"Come in!"
Li Yunlong was reading the documents when his expression suddenly changed and he said.
Duan Peng in special combat uniform.
He walked in with vigorous steps and grandeur, and respectfully saluted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang with his expression and eyes: "Regiment leader, political commissar, sharp sword, the Langya Brigade successfully completed the mission, please give instructions!"
"I don't have anything to give you. Your swords and fangs are doing a great job."
Li Yunlong punched Duan Peng in the chest, looking extremely satisfied.
It took more than 10 hours to fly 1,500 kilometers away, complete the work and then return. Only the special forces of the Eighth Route Army could do this.
Boss Chen's troops can also do it, but Boss Chen's troops generally won't take action personally.
"Duan Peng, how are the casualties of Lijian and Langya?" Zhao Gang asked.
On the way back, Duan Peng had already reported to the regiment headquarters that the mission had been completed.
"Political Commissar, a total of 3 soldiers were killed and 7 soldiers were injured in this combat mission. However, the injured soldiers were all minor injuries."
Duan Peng replied.
The body armor, bulletproof helmets, night vision goggles, weapons and ammunition and other equipment provided by Boss Chen are all good things.
Without these advanced equipment, if Sword and Wolf Fang had to complete this mission, the casualties would have increased several times.
but.
After all, the Japs this time were the elite of the Kwantung Army. Even if they were armed to the teeth with swords and fangs, some casualties were inevitable.
This is war, and war will cause casualties and bloodshed.
"Well, where are the wounded soldiers?"
Li Yunlong asked with concern.
Duan Peng replied: "Vehicles have been arranged for the injured soldiers to be sent to the field hospital."
Zhao Gang asked: "By the way, how much information have been collected?"
These materials are not only the research results of the Japs, but also evidence of the Japs’ murder of Chinese people.
Although all the Japanese researchers were killed, the information, swords and fangs were all brought back.
"Report to the political commissar."
"There is a lot of information. The Japanese burned some before they died, but not much."
"We don't understand much anyway. Everything we could bring back was put on the helicopter and brought back."
Duan Peng reported to Zhao Gang.
"That's good. When you go back, submit all these information to the headquarters."
Zhao Gang instructed.
"Yes, Political Commissar Zhao!"
Duan Peng straightened up.
"By the way, have you called for fire support? How powerful is Gatling?"
Li Yunlong nodded slightly, then looked at Duan Peng and asked as if he had thought of something.
"Call!"
Speaking of this, the expression on Duan Peng's face suddenly became excited:
"It was Li Changshun and Cao Jinwang who led the troops to call for fire support when they were blocking the attack. I didn't see it."
"But according to Li Changshun, the firepower of this heavy machine gun is very powerful!"
"In less than 2 minutes, more than 300 elite Japanese soldiers and 20 cars were beaten to pieces!"
"So powerful?" Li Yunlong was suddenly surprised.
Even Zhao Gang on the side had a surprised expression on his face.
Although he had expected it, Zhao Gang couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard that 20 cars and more than 300 elite Japanese soldiers were killed in less than 2 minutes.
After all, the weapons produced by Boss Chen are all of high quality.
It seems that this Gatling, like his Barrett, is a powerful and top-notch killing weapon.
"Captain, but..."
Duan Peng said again.
"But what?"
Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and asked.
Duan Peng then said: "This thing has very strong firepower and a very fast rate of fire. One shuttle can directly tear the enemy's vehicle into pieces. However, I feel that this thing needs to be paired with a helicopter like Boss Chen to bring out its full potential."
power!"
A wise look appeared in Li Yunlong's eyes, and after a brief analysis, he said: "You mean, this Gatling is only suitable for small-scale special support operations?"
"That's right, Captain."
Duan Peng secretly said that the leader's mind was very fast. He just mentioned it briefly, and the leader immediately knew what he was thinking.
After a pause, Duan Peng said again:
"This thing is very heavy, and ordinary soldiers cannot lift it. It also consumes a lot of ammunition. Even if it is fired in bursts, it can consume thousands of rounds of ammunition per minute."
"If it is on a frontal battlefield, it is not as useful as the Type 56 light machine gun and the M2 heavy machine gun."
Li Yunlong nodded and said:
"Okay, I understand. You go back and rest first. I will give you swords and fangs to celebrate your victory tonight."
"Captain, there is no need to celebrate." Duan Peng smiled slightly, "You can just apply for awards from the headquarters to give us the wolf fangs and swords."
To be honest, Duan Peng doesn't care whether he celebrates his success or not.
Mainly because I like to be praised. For soldiers, honor is sometimes more important than life.
"No?"
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: "How can that be done? When I practiced it for you, I said that I would celebrate your achievements. This spit is a nail. I, Li Yunlong, can't let others chew on my tongue and say that I don't mean what I say!"
"Whoever dares to chew on your tongue, I, Duan Peng, will be the first to refuse!" Duan Peng's eyes were sharp.
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Don't worry, on your way back to Taiyuan, the regiment leader has already called the head of the headquarters to ask for credit for your sharp sword and wolf fang."
"Thank you, leader!"
Duan Peng gave Li Yunlong a respectful look, saluted him with a military salute, turned around and left quickly.
Watching Duan Peng leave, Zhao Gang said: "This time, Duan Peng and the others completed their mission very beautifully, and the casualties were within acceptable limits."
Li Yunlong nodded with a satisfied expression: "This guy Duan Peng is born to be a special forces soldier."
In terms of commanding special forces, Lu Yingjun is actually more suitable than Duan Peng.
For example, if Lu Yingjun were to take command of this long-range special operations mission, the casualties might be controlled to less than 3 people.
Lu Yingjun's special operations command was so strong that even the head of the headquarters was amazed.
Back then, the Sharp Sword Squadron, under the leadership of Lu Yingjun, penetrated into Taiyuan and killed the Japanese pilots at the cost of several casualties, and then escaped unharmed. They also killed several Japanese planes on the way.
Before the new regiment was transferred, Lu Yingjun led the communication company to fight and killed more than 100 enemies, while only one of his own troops was slightly injured.
Of course, it depends on who you are comparing with.
Duan Peng's tactical command ability is already very good, only a little bit behind Lu Yingjun.
Mainly because Lu Yingjun was too tall and eye-catching, and the new regiment lacked battalion-level cadres at that time, so Li Yunlong made Lu Yingjun and Wei Dayong the battalion commanders.
Li Yunlong was in a good mood after receiving 300 tanks.
Li Yunlong was ready to wait for the 30 bomber groups to return to Taiyuan, so he contacted Boss Chen to receive the goods.
He couldn't wait to create an armored division.
Ding ding ding——
At this moment, the phone on the table rang, and a combat staff member picked it up: "Hey, this is the new regiment headquarters, yes!"
The operational staff officer turned to look at Li Yunlong, covered the receiver, and said: "Captain, the headquarters wants you to answer the phone."
Li Yunlong quickly walked to the phone table, took the phone from the combat staff, put it to his ear, and said loudly: "Hello, chief, this is Li Yunlong."
At the headquarters.
Next to the telephone.
The commander was making a call to Li Yunlong, while the chief of staff and division commander listened intently.
"Hello, chief, I am Li Yunlong."
Li Yunlong's loud voice sounded in his ears, and the leader quickly took the phone away.
In the expectant eyes of the chief of staff and division commander, the chief said: "Li Yunlong, I congratulate you on getting rich. How much benefit have you gained this time?"
"Chief." Li Yunlong laughed loudly, "I also congratulate you on getting rich, hehe...no more, no less, exactly 300 tanks!"
"Chief, please rest assured, when I receive the goods, I will hand over half to the headquarters!"
"good!"
Hearing this, the chief hung up the phone happily.
