"Baga! Give me the order to dispatch the Army Air Force to dispatch at least four squadrons of bomber formations to bomb all valuable targets in Jingxing County and surrounding areas and completely destroy them." Terauchi Shouichi looked like a trapped animal in the office with red eyes.
After turning around a few times, he gave the order fiercely.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the 38th Regiment of the Dispatch Army..." Okabe Naosaburo's face was filled with bitterness.
"What? Okabe-kun, now I am still the commander of the North China Dispatch Army." The anger in Terauchi's glance almost roasted poor Naosaburo Okabe alive.
That clearly means that now that I am still the commander, if anyone dares to disobey orders, I will kill him. Moreover, Naosaburo Okabe is extremely convinced that the general, who is so angry that he really dares to draw a knife and kill people.
"No, after two months of fighting, only the 38th Regiment of the Expeditionary Forces Army Aviation is left..." Facing Juichi Terauchi's cannibalistic gaze, Naosaburo Okabe explained weakly: "There are only less than
2 squadrons.”
"Nani?" Terauchi was shocked and calculated carefully, only to find that Naosaburo Okabe really didn't coax him. Since the 20th Division entered Jindong, the 38th Air Wing has already been in Jindong.
29 fighter planes were damaged in the battle in the region. Since the dispatched troops launched an offensive against the Chinese army in the Pingjin area in July, the Chinese 29th Army took the time to conduct a sneak attack on the airport and destroyed more than 10 fighter planes.
The 38th Air Wing has a total of 64 fighter planes, which is enough for just two squadrons!
"Kawagishi Bunzaburo is really a disgrace to the empire." Terauchi Juichi once again angrily complained about the army lieutenant general who was almost judged dead, with madness in his eyes, "Order the 38th Regiment to dispatch all their remaining fighter planes. I authorize
They bombed the entire Jingxing County indiscriminately. The Chinese were probably still celebrating their so-called victory and did not expect that we would attack them so soon. Therefore, I ordered them to carry as many weapons as possible
Bombs, destroy any Chinese people you can see, whether it's houses or people."
"Hi!" Naosaburo Okabe lowered his head heavily to hide the shock that flashed in his eyes.
What made him feel terrible was not the indiscriminate bombing ordered by General Judai Terauchi, but that he seemed to feel a different kind of aura from it.
All the fighter planes are equipped with bombs. What will happen if they encounter a surprise attack by Chinese planes? They will be defeated like the air battle at Niangzi Pass that broke out two days ago. In the air battle at Niangzi Pass, the Imperial fighter planes were full of confidence.
It was loaded with bombs and ready to blow up the Chinese people in the mountains. However, in front of the Chinese fighter jets rushing down from high altitudes, they were like big stupid geese, doomed from the beginning.
If this happens again, the entire Northern China Expeditionary Force will no longer have the wings of the Imperial War Eagle. According to the empire's financial and material resources at this time, it will not be possible for at least half a year. Without air support, this
It is very dangerous for any commander, even if the general seems to be irrational.
It's just... Naosaburo Okabe thought about the news from the base camp and knew that he might not be in North China with the commander for too long. Is this irrationality...
..
Following Juichi Terauchi's order, 20 Japanese army aviation attack planes took off from Beiping Nanyuan Airport to execute the indiscriminate bombing order on Jingxing County.
A radio wave emitted from an inconspicuous farmhouse ten miles away from Nanyuan Airport and dispersed in the vast sky.
As early as a month and a half ago, the night before the Independence Regiment took the oath to fight in Guangyuan, the underground commercial organization of the Huashang Group in Peiping sent capable personnel into this small farmyard. Everything was no doubt like ordinary farmers, the sun rose and the sun set.
That is to say, he observed and recorded the number of takeoffs and landings and sorties of Japanese aircraft in the hospital every day. It was not until a week ago that he received a telegram ordering him to report the takeoffs and return sorties of the airport.
Liu Lang dared to conclude that the number of Japanese fighter planes coming to Qigen Village to support would not exceed 2 squadrons. This was the basis for Liu Lang's judgment. When he returned last night, he even sent a telegram to Peiping to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese airport in the early morning of the next day.
As Liu Lang expected, as soon as it got dark, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army took off more than 20 sorties of fighter planes and flew towards the south.
Just 10 minutes after the Japanese plane took off, Jingxing sounded the air defense alarm. All the supplies that had not had time to be moved were hidden on the spot. The soldiers and civilians had already cut down a large number of shrubs and trees and spread these green vegetation on the supplies.
Looking down from an altitude of hundreds of meters or even a thousand meters, even from the ground of two to three hundred meters, it looks like a small hill.
Of course, the materials left on both sides of the road that have not had time to be transported are mainly food and daily necessities. The most important materials such as munitions are classified as first-class materials. They had basically been transported as early as early yesterday morning and were all hidden.
Into the deep mountains.
In addition to concealing various materials, all personnel in Jingxing County were evacuated to the mountains outside the county.
Because several military chiefs had discussed the situation of the incoming Japanese planes beforehand, they were all well prepared. In just thirty minutes, more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians evacuated into the mountains in an orderly manner.
Not to mention looking down from high altitude, even looking down from the top of the mountain, no one knows that there are 20,000 troops and thousands of people hidden in the vast mountains.
However, it has never been Liu Lang's personality to be passively beaten. After he returned, he had long thought that the Japanese who were stimulated and crazy would take revenge. However, one and a half divisions of the Japanese Western Front Corps were still hundreds of miles away, and Seishiro Itagaki
The Fifth Division is still in Xinkou, and there are only tens of thousands of Japanese troops in the Pingjin area. If they want to send ground troops in a short time, if there is no division, they will basically deliver food to the Chinese army. As long as the commander of the Japanese North China Front
If your head is not filled with Xiang, you will definitely not be so stupid.
Then we can only rely on airplanes. The first thing Liu Lang deployed was air defense.
Facts have proved that concentrated fire from machine guns can completely cause damage to low-speed aircraft such as propellers. Liu Tuanzuo is even crazier than the future military god who mobilized all heavy machine guns to participate in air defense yesterday to protect supplies. He not only mobilized all heavy machine guns
, and also mobilized all light machine guns.
Light machine guns and heavy machine guns are matched. Every six light machine guns are paired with two heavy machine guns to form a small air defense position. From north to south, they are set up in sequence along the hills from Shimen to Jingxing County. There are as many as 30 machine guns in the sky.
The number also reached a terrifying 60 heavy machine guns and 180 light machine guns.
If they all fire at once, looking down from a high altitude, it will be a hedgehog that suddenly opens its spines. For everyone who wants to attack this place, it seems that they are at a loss and don't know where to start. The only thing that can be done is,
Maybe just stay away from here to avoid getting stung.
However, if you think that Liu Tuanzuo just relied on a large number of machine guns to scare away the Japanese planes, you are wrong.
Since it already hurts a lot, what's the harm in hurting some more? For those guys who like to lay eggs to show off because they can fly high and fast, Liu Lang is determined to let them hold the eggs in their stomachs until they die.
them.
The effective range of a small air defense position will not exceed 500 meters. At best, it can only be regarded as a hedgehog with its thorns spread out to scare people. If the Japanese plane flies at an altitude of 1,000 meters, they are just having fun and cannot hurt the Japanese plane at all.
.
Around these small air defense positions are the real air defense positions. Each position consists of 4 MG42 heavy machine guns and 2 Sulotong double-mounted machine guns. Small air defense positions mainly composed of light machine guns are hidden in the distance.
The position is less than a mile away in the mountains and forests.
Liu Lang spent a lot of money this time, mobilizing all the Sulotong machine guns and MG42 heavy machine guns in use and in reserve in the entire regiment. Not to mention that the 48 heavy machine guns almost blinded the eyes of all the generals, just that
The 24 twin-mounted machine guns shocked the lieutenant generals and major generals until they were speechless.
No wonder the Independent Regiment was able to beat the Eighth Division like a dog in the Battle of the Great Wall. If it were them, knowing that the Independent Regiment was equipped with so many of these things, they would not be stupid enough to fight.
His position is totally looking for abuse!
Just thinking about the 20mm bullets that are thicker than an adult's thumb, no, artillery shells, and denser than the machine guns of an average infantry regiment, is enough to make any general's scalp numb.
Fortunately, the Independent Regiment is a friendly force and not an enemy.
The Independent Regiment, which showed most of its strength in heavy firearms for the first time, was like a tiger showing its fangs. Just looking at it gave people chills.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is not just strength. No matter how fierce a tiger is, hunters will always have tricks to deal with it. But what if this tiger also has cunning that is more terrifying than a poisonous snake?
Ten air defense positions with an effective anti-aircraft range of up to 1,500 meters were hidden around all small air defense positions. Liu Tuanzuo's order to them was that they were not allowed to launch attacks unless the Japanese aircraft dropped below 1,000 meters.
In other words, small air defense positions may seem scary in large numbers, but in fact they are just bait. They are like a hedgehog provoking a lion with its spines spread out: Damn, are you able to come down and eat me?
The Japanese aircraft remained unprovoked and stayed at an altitude of 1,000 meters. No matter what the hit rate was, they just dropped the bombs leisurely. If they were impulsive and wanted to become an imperial eagle venting anger for the commander of the North China Front, then...
That's a little bit bad.
48 heavy machine guns and 24 twin machine guns will let them know why the flowers are so red...
To use a somewhat obscene way of saying that Lang Tuan Zuo bared his teeth and grinned, they looked bloody when I saw that I was not astringent.
"Bah, you scoundrel!" The beautiful reporter secretly spat in her face, turning her head to reveal her white and tender neck, which turned red with embarrassment.
The generals are...
Damn it, gangsters are not to be feared, only those who like gangsters are literate!
Anyway, it was hard for them to believe that this obscene fat man, who always looked like the Imperial Army of Japan, could write a poem like: Because you love deeply.
There is really no one who can make a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty be so proud of this guy.
Only Zhao Ergou, the frontline commander in charge of the air defense positions, was still cheering for his superiors, "Don't worry, sirs, I guarantee that the little devil will be so happy."
