The heavy artillery brigade is a strategic-level force, which is their lifeblood. If anything goes wrong, he, the commander, will definitely bear the blame.
Tanaka Kuichi also said anxiously: "Your Excellency, Commander, Saito-kun requested that fighter planes from the Army Air Force and Hainan Airlines be dispatched immediately for emergency support. We must support them quickly, otherwise they will not be able to support them for long."
A look of embarrassment appeared on Guzhuang Qianlang's face. In the last battle between Army Aviation and the 300 Army, the losses of the 300 Army were not small, but the losses of the 50th and 51st Flying Brigades under the Twenty-One Lord were even greater.
In one week of fighting, they lost more than a hundred aircraft. Even Japan, known as the "Asian industrial power", could not bear such losses. Although they later quickly deployed new fighters and pilots from the mainland,
However, Koso Chiro was also reprimanded by a telegram from the military, telling him that planes and pilots were valuable assets of the empire and should be used with caution. After this, Koso Chiro began to be cautious about the use of aviation.
Now when he heard another request for air support, he couldn't help but hesitate a little. But after all, he was the general in charge of the side. He could still understand the heavier losses of the heavy artillery brigade and the flying brigade. After thinking about it, Guzhuang
Qianlang said decisively: "The heavy artillery brigade is a strategic-level force of the empire, and there is no room for failure. You immediately order the 50th and 51st Flying Brigades to dispatch all bombers and a number of escort fighters to Jiangmen to attack China's tank troops.
Bombing. Also, you immediately send a telegram to Lieutenant General Nomura Koshisaburo of the Third Fleet, requesting them to send carrier-based aircraft to join us in bombing the Chinese tank troops, and we must protect the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade."
"Hai!"
Tanaka Jiu agreed, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Nomura Kichizaburo, "You are ordering the 48th Division to march to Sanjiang immediately. Since the Chinese dare to take the lead in attacking us, let us fight head-on.
Let’s have a show!” At this point, Nomura Koshisaburo’s face was full of ferociousness.
"Hai!"
"Woooooooo..."
At Guangzhou Airport, waves of sirens rang over the airport, and pilots rushed out of their dormitories and rushed towards the fighter planes on the runway. Makino Yasuo and Ishii Souichi also ran out of the officer dormitory in a hurry, Makino Yasuo
While running, he told Ishii Kuichi: "Ishii-kun, this mission is very important. The Chinese will definitely send fighter planes to intercept us. You must cheer up."
Ishii Souichi said confidently: "Don't worry, not to mention the more than 30 Zero fighters that were sent a few days ago. Besides, we are not fighting alone this time. I heard that the Navy will also send carrier-based aircraft.
Come to support us, I don’t believe it. No matter how powerful the Chinese are, can they still defeat so many of our fighters?”
Although Makino Yasuo also agreed with his friend's words, he still said: "That's what I said. But there is an old saying in China that is very good, be careful and sail the ship for thousands of years, but you still can't be careless."
"I know, you are really long-winded." Souichi Ishii waved his hand impatiently and continued running towards the fighter plane not far away.
Seeing the figure of his friend, Makino Yasuo was also very helpless. Because the two were so familiar with each other, Makino Yasuo was embarrassed to use his status as a boss to order him, which also led to the two talking very casually.
War is always so similar. Just as the Japanese pilots were taking off, Su Rui was standing in the security headquarters. He smiled and said to Liang Zhi: "Ziran, you said that Old Bo is too stubborn and has a tough mouth."
, you are still insisting on not requesting air support from us at this time, are you trying to save face and suffer the consequences?"
Liang Zhi also said in a helpless tone: "Who says it's not the case? This kid has such a bad temper, but at best he has an overall view of the situation."
"Haha..." Su Rui gave him a funny look. "You guys are still afraid that I will punish him. Don't worry, I'm not that stingy. But judging from the battle reports from the front, the Japanese are really anxious this time.
If the two divisions attack Lao Bo with all their strength, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on any longer."
"I also have this concern." Liang Zhi nodded, "How about we order Li Yifeng's 399th Division to move closer to Enping?"
Su Rui also agreed: "Well, I think so too. Bai Jingran's 400 Division not only needs to defend Enping, but also responds to Li Chenzhe's armored regiment. I'm afraid they are very weak. Judging from this Japanese action,
Look, they are determined to destroy our 300th Division, so it is necessary to prepare in advance. Let's change the original plan. Not only will the 399th Division rush to Enping, but also the 39th Division will rush to Enping.
The Eighth Division must also move in the direction of Enping and move closer if necessary."
"What? Three divisions moving together? That means the whole army is dispatched." Liang Zhi frowned slightly: "If there is any emergency, we don't have mobile troops on hand."
"Aren't there still guard regiments and new barracks for the three newly recruited regiments? If necessary, we can still form a supplementary division with them." He said coldly: "Since the little devil wants to destroy us, let's
We must let them know that our Three Hundred Army is not a soft persimmon, and if they want to eat us, they must be prepared to lose a mouthful of teeth!"
"Ring ring ring..."
Liang Zhi strode over, picked up the phone and said in a deep voice: "I am Chief of Staff Liang Zhi, what? The radar station found a large number of aircraft flying from the direction of Guangzhou and the direction of Enping Offshore. There were more than two hundred aircraft.
Flying towards Enping? Okay, I understand!"
Liang Zhi and Su Rui, who put down the phone with a bang, looked at each other and shouted in unison: "They are going for the armored regiment!"
Su Rui didn't have time to speak, so he immediately grabbed the phone: "Get me the first air force right away..."
"boom……"
An artillery shell landed less than ten meters away from Li Chenzhe's tank. The strong shock wave caused by the explosion of the artillery shell shook the twenty-ton tank. Li Chenzhe looked out from the lookout and happened to see two
The soldiers following the tank turned into two clouds of blood mist in the explosion and disappeared without a trace without even screaming.
"Bastard!" Li Chenzhe punched the inner wall of the armor in front, and a sharp pain shot through his hand. He knew that this was a heavy artillery shell with a caliber above 150. This was from the Japanese heavy artillery in front.
It was emitted from the position, which means that part of the artillery of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade has been prepared and is now firing at itself. Although these tanks of ours can defend against some small-caliber artillery shells, they have no ability to resist those large-caliber heavy artillery.
Yes, if all the heavy artillery of the heavy artillery brigade were to fire on themselves, I am afraid that all of my tanks would have to stay here.
Li Chenzhe grabbed the microphone and ordered loudly: "Attention all units, hurry up and rush over. We must rush to the position of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade within twenty minutes!"
"Rush over!"
"Boost!"
Whether it is an armored regiment or an infantry regiment following behind, all officers are giving this order to the soldiers.
"Boom... a 47mm tank shell landed on the Japanese position, blasting a Type 92 heavy machine gun that was firing fiercely into the sky, including the man and the gun."
"Shoot...shoot them all!"
The remnants of the 48th Regiment, which had withdrawn to the defensive position of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, were firing desperately forward under the command of Captain Hirano Kaede. Type 38 rifles, Type 92 heavy machine guns and grenade weapons were free of charge.
Like shooting forward.
"Boom boom..."
Several shells exploded near Tong Yanfeng, and there was a roar in the sky. Tong Yanfeng, who was lying on the ground, felt waves of vibrations coming from the ground, as if countless drums were beating together in his ears.
"You little devil, you actually used a large-caliber artillery!"
Tong Yanfeng spat out a mouthful of loess, grabbed the soldier next to him who was about to run under a big tree nearby, and cursed loudly: "Asshole, where are you going?"
The soldier pointed at the big tree and stammered: "Squad leader, I... I want to hide in front!"
Tong Yanfeng scolded: "You idiot, you can hide anywhere during sex, including under trees and bamboo forests. You can't hide under woods!"
"Why?"
The soldiers were dumbfounded. When avoiding cannonballs, wouldn't it be better to have more obstacles in more places?
Seeing the puzzled look in the soldier's eyes, Tong Yanfeng knew that this boy was a rookie, so he pulled him and ran behind a Somoya tank and slowly followed the tank forward while explaining: "You are really stupid and bold.
Do you know what would happen if the cannonball did not fall on the ground but fell on the tree? Although the cannonball exploded on the tree, the shock wave could not hit us, but the shrapnel was like a goddess scattering flowers.
Fei, it will be useless for you to lie down on the ground when the time comes. The more you lie down, the faster you will die."
The soldier was startled and asked quickly: "Squad leader... then... what should we do?"
"What should I do?" Tong Yanfeng glared at him, and then said in a lecturing tone: "If you can avoid this kind of situation, try to avoid it. If you really encounter it, you kid must remember that you must not lie down. You have to
Wear a helmet and squat on the ground to reduce your size as much as possible. Whether you can survive depends on your luck."
The soldier shrank his head and asked timidly: "Squad leader... that's too... too dangerous."
"careful……"
Tong Yanfeng threw the soldier to the ground. Not long after they lay down, a machine gun bullet came from a distance. The bullet hit the armor of the tank in front and formed a ricochet, hitting not far away.
A soldier at the scene was hit in the chest and fell down without saying a word.
"Da da……"
Tong Yanfeng raised his hand and swept out the submachine gun in his hand. The two Japanese soldiers lying on the ground immediately fell to the ground and stopped moving.
As the armored forces deepened, the Japanese resistance became more intense. The battle continued until noon, when a low roar sounded in the sky... (To be continued)
