Brother ***'s words are very arrogant, as if the little devil's iron bastard is just a bunch of chickens who want everything they want. However, after seeing the power of the "big smoking gun", the Eighth Route Army commanders and soldiers are convinced of this.
It can tear apart a brick wall, and it must be easy to penetrate the thin iron shell of the Iron Bastard.
The leader of the *** brothers turned to Yu Ting and said: "Captain Yu, please ask the Eighth Route brothers to dig a few ditches on the road, and then dig a trench at a distance of about 60 meters."
"No problem." Yu Ting said, "It will be ready soon."
After that, Yu Ting went back to issue combat orders.

Next to the Ping-Han Railway, a Japanese military convoy was driving slowly along the road.
This Japanese convoy consists of a Type 95 light tank, three armored vehicles and nine tricycles. Needless to say, the firepower of the Type 95 light tank and armored vehicles is also mounted on the nine tricycles.
There were six light machine guns. This kind of firepower density was definitely rare among the Japanese field troops.
In addition, there were more than a hundred Japanese infantry running behind the convoy to follow.
This convoy is the motorized infantry squadron of the 5th Infantry Brigade stationed in Neiqiu County.
Captain Hojo is the squadron leader of this motorized infantry squadron. At this moment, Captain Hojo is sitting in the commander's cabin of the Type 95 light tank. He reaches out and gently touches the black and white photo in his hand. The woman in the photo is wearing a traditional dress.
Kimono, as beautiful as flowers, she is Captain Hojo's lover, her name is Mieko.
Suddenly, Captain Hojo's mind recalled the last night before the expedition.
That night, Captain Hojo made love to Mieko under the cherry blossom tree in his backyard.
Captain Hojo can still clearly recall Mieko's beautiful figure, her smooth skin, and the fatal pleasure of her hot and tight grip. To be honest, Captain Hojo hates this damn war so much that he doesn't want to stay here for a moment.
, he dreams of returning to Tokyo and to Mieko...
"Creak..." The slowly moving chariot suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" Captain Hojo quickly put away the photo, raised his head and asked, "Why did you stop?"
The driver turned around and replied: "Sir, the road ahead is damaged by Tubal Road and cannot continue to pass."
"Bagagaru, damn Tubal Road." Captain Hojo frowned and shouted, "Order, the engineering team to repair the road immediately, and the other teams to pay attention..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Hojo suddenly saw a light outside the observation hole.
"Hey, what's going on?" Captain Hojo turned his head subconsciously, and then the hairs all over his body suddenly stood up. He clearly saw that a shell had torn open the armor on the left side of the tank, and he was on the verge of death.
At the last moment, Captain Hojo could even clearly see the entire process of the conical warhead drilling into the tank!
Almost as soon as he got into the carriage, the shells exploded.
Captain Hojo only felt that his whole body was pushed hard by something, and then his eyes turned pale, and then he completely lost consciousness, and lost consciousness forever...
…………
Outside the tank, the Eighth Route Army position.
Seeing that the *** brothers really killed the "Iron Bastard" who was armed by the Japs with one shot, Yu Ting immediately became excited. He raised the noodle box in his hand and fired a shot. The next moment, he was lying in the trench,
In the wilderness, the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the ditch suddenly started to fight, and the group of Japanese infantry who followed on foot were immediately knocked down.
The little Japs reacted very quickly. Although Captain Hojo was killed in battle, the remaining Japs soldiers still made the most correct response in the shortest time with their good tactical literacy. The remaining three armored vehicles and side three-wheelers
The light and heavy machine guns on board fired at the same time, suppressing the Eighth Route Army's firepower in one fell swoop.
However, the good times did not last long, and another dazzling tongue of flames burst out from the Eighth Route Army position, and immediately dragged a long tail flame into the compartment of an armored car. The 5mm thick armor of the armored car could easily block it.
The machine gun and rifle bullets of the Eighth Route Army were easily torn apart by the tongue of flames.
In an instant, a dazzling fire broke out from the armored car, followed immediately by a deafening explosion. The originally majestic armored car suddenly turned into a pile of scrap metal.
The remaining armored vehicles finally panicked and quickly reversed to escape.
But it was too late. The Eighth Route Army had already secretly dug up the road behind them. The two armored vehicles, nine tricycles and the remaining seventy or eighty Japanese infantrymen ran less than two miles before they were captured by the Eighth Route Army.
Surrounded by groups, without the cover of armored vehicles, and in the wilderness, the remaining Japanese soldiers No. 70 and 80 were quickly wiped out.
…………
Neiqiu County, headquarters of the 5th Infantry Brigade.
Major Mitsui was pacing back and forth anxiously in the headquarters.
Suddenly, Captain Kondo walked out of the communication room with a solemn expression. Major Mitsui frowned and asked: "What, the Hojo Squadron is still not contactable?"
"Hai." Captain Kondo lowered his head suddenly and said, "The radio station of Hojo Squadron has always been unable to make calls."
"Baga." Major Mitsui cursed angrily, "Hojoji, this idiot, what on earth is he doing?"
Captain Kondo said: "Captain, I think something is wrong. Should I send another cavalry team to take a look?"
"Cavalry squad?" Major Mitsui frowned and said angrily, "Kondo-kun, do you think it is possible for the cavalry squad to break through the firepower of Tubal Road?" After saying this, Major Mitsui said again, "Forget it.
, it will be dawn in two hours, and the aviation troops will be able to take off after dawn, and everything will be known by then."
…………
Shimen western suburbs, Dakuo Village Airport.
After the Baoshan Division successfully attacked Shimen last year, the Dakuo Village Airport suffered devastating damage. All the facilities at the airport were dismantled and completely destroyed. Not even a single screw was left. However, after the Japanese army recaptured Shimen, it was soon
A lot of manpower and material resources were quickly spent to rebuild the Dakuo Village Airport.
The rebuilt Dakuo Village Airport was expanded by the Japanese army into one of the four major air force bases in North China.
The current Dakuo Village Airport is home to a Japanese reconnaissance aircraft group, a fighter group and two bomber groups, as well as an airport service squadron and an anti-aircraft gun squadron. In addition, in addition to the airport's own garrison squadron, the 28th Division stationed in Shimen
The regiment also specially transferred an infantry brigade to be responsible for the defense of the airport.
Bunker groups have also been built around the airport, and these bunker groups are in the same system as those around Shimen and Zhengding. In other words, Dakuo Village Airport, Shimen City, and Zhengding County are all located in Okamura Ningji.
Within the carefully constructed defense circle of bunkers, it is no exaggeration to describe its defense as impregnable.
At four o'clock in the morning, the 1st Regiment of the Baoshan Division successfully arrived at the outskirts of the airport with the cover of darkness.
Du Xuewen, the leader of the 1st regiment, raised his hand to signal the troops to stop advancing, then turned his head and shouted: "Map!"
The attendant adjutant who followed behind him quickly took out the map from his satchel, spread it out, and turned on the flashlight. Zhao Jiuding, the chief of staff of the 1st regiment, and three battalion commanders immediately surrounded him. Du Xuewen was originally the chief of staff of the 1st regiment, and the 39th Group Army regrouped.
After the reorganization, the old 1st regiment became the Tumen Fortress Guard Regiment, and Du Xuewen became the colonel commander of the new 1st regiment.
As for Zhao Jiuding and the three battalion commanders, they were all officers graduated from the Central Military Academy.
This group of Central Military Academy cadets sent by Chairman Chiang quickly grew up after being baptized by the fire of the teaching brigade, and were all entrusted with important tasks by Yue Weihan. Most of them became battalion commanders or even regimental chiefs of staff.
Only a small number of students with ulterior motives were "seconded" by Yue Weihan to the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Chief of Staff Zhao Jiuding pointed at the map and said to Du Xuewen: "The airport should be in front of our group seat!"
Du Xuewen nodded and ordered in a deep voice: "Order all infantry and artillery battalions to check ammunition and prepare for battle!"
Du Xuewen's order was quickly passed on orally, and the infantrymen loaded bullets into their chambers and fixed their bayonets.
The artillerymen also began to nervously check their equipment. Whether they could destroy the Japanese planes at the airport this time was entirely up to them.
After the attack is launched, the Japanese pilots will most likely take off the plane at all costs. From the time they are alerted to the time the plane takes off, it only takes about ten minutes. In other words, the artillery of the Baoshan Division must reach the airport runway within ten minutes and within five seconds.
Only within 100 meters can we ensure the destruction of Japanese aircraft that have not yet taken off!"
…………
Tumen Fortress, headquarters on the second floor underground of the main bunker on Baodu Mountain.
Liu Yi looked at his watch and saw that the time was already pointing to 4:30 in the morning. He immediately said to Yue Weihan: "General, Du Xuewen's 1st group should have arrived at Dakuo Village Airport by now, right?"
"Yeah." Yue Weihan looked indifferent.
Liu Yi was inevitably a little nervous.
Whether they can capture Shimen this time and take down the headquarters of the Japanese 28th Division in one fell swoop depends on whether Du Xuewen's 1st Regiment can destroy the Japanese aircraft at Dakuo Village Airport.
As long as the 1st Regiment can destroy the Japanese planes at Dakuo Village Airport in time, the 39th Group Army will have a great chance to break through the bunkers outside Shimen. When the Japanese planes from Peiping, Tianjin, and Jinan Airports arrive, the officers and soldiers of the 39th Group Army will have already arrived.
Having already broken into the Shimen city and got involved with the Japanese army, by that time, the Japanese army's air superiority would be gone.
"The general attack will begin in half an hour." Liu Yi subconsciously raised his wrist again, looked at the time again, and said to Yue Wei Fahan, "I don't know if Du Xuewen can succeed. If he can't succeed, let Xiao
If the Japanese plane takes off calmly with its ammunition, then the next battle will be difficult."
"Chief of Staff, please relax." Yue Weihan said calmly, "The artillery battalion of the 1st Regiment is a reinforced artillery battalion, equipped with twenty rocket launchers, eighteen 60 mortars and four heartless cannons.
, How can there be any difference with such intensive firepower? Doesn’t that old devil Okamura Neji want to go fishing? I want him to lose Shimen and lose his troops!"
