At the Japanese Army Headquarters in Taiyuan City, the sky was getting brighter, and the lieutenant general's nerves, which had been tense all night, slowly relaxed.
At night, the Eighth Route Army rules, and during the day, it belongs to the Imperial Army.
The aviation force has prepared more than thirty aircraft of various types to reinforce itself around the clock.
As long as we need air reinforcements, they can arrive within an hour.
After glancing at the clock hanging on the wall, the lieutenant general asked with a relaxed expression: "If I remember correctly, the first batch of aircraft to reinforce us have taken off more than half an hour ago, and there are still about twenty minutes left.
Get over us!"
"Yes, sir!" the chief of staff replied immediately.
"The humble post has ordered the counterattack troops in the south and north of the city to prepare for a strong attack. As soon as the plane arrives, they will immediately launch a general attack on the remaining Eighth Route Army outside the city under the cover of the plane. Try to kill them before noon and severely damage the Eighth Route Army's arrogant morale.
!
The lieutenant general added: "Not only the two reinforced regiments of the Eighth Route Army, but other offensive units of the Eighth Route Army will also be bombed!"
"Tell us the troops stationed on the front line. From now on, even an infantry squad can request aviation reinforcements!"
"In addition, the front army asked us to hold on to Taiyuan City for five days. At the critical moment, we can organize the expatriates to assemble and join the battle!"
"Chief of Staff, please make arrangements to gather all the young and strong expatriates in the city, select a squadron from the military police brigade to be responsible for training them, and distribute weapons and ammunition to them!"
"I will not let them go to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary."
"However, just in case, we must prepare our troops in advance. When we really need to use them, we can bring them to the battlefield at any time!"
"Buzz buzz~"
Amidst the roar of huge engines, six planes slowly entered the sky over Taiyuan from far to near, revealing their silver-white silhouettes.
"The Japanese plane is coming, let out smoke immediately!"
In the underground headquarters, Xiao Yunshan, who was staring at the sky with a telescope, gave decisive orders.
"There are three Japanese planes flying towards us!" the instructor next to him frowned and reminded!
Xiao Yunshan followed the order: "Order the troops to prepare for air defense!"
"We are definitely the first target the Japanese planes want to bomb, and also the first target they want to destroy~"
"Inform all battalions, companies, and commandos to prepare for battle."
"After the Japanese bombing is over, they will definitely launch a total attack. As long as their attacking troops do not exceed two squadrons, put them directly into the position and let the commandos deal with them!"
"The guard company also goes up. They are equipped with a large number of light machine guns and submachine guns. They can fight in close combat and melee with the little devils. It's the best!"
"Buzz buzz~"
Soon, a huge roar sounded above them.
A plane first dives towards the ground, aims at the target, and drops the bomb~
After the ear-piercing scream that broke through the sky, three earth-shaking explosions rang out.
A huge fireball rose into the sky, and three plumes of thick black smoke were also mixed in, rising slowly.
One of the bombs directly hit a position. At least one platoon of soldiers was blown away before they had time to react, and they all died!
"Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and it releases smoke on the battlefield, which affects our bombing!" the pilot of the second plane yelled while flying the plane.
"Carry out bombing at low altitude, but be careful to avoid the air defense firepower network that the Eighth Route Army may launch. According to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army already has a lot of air defense troops!" The captain's order quickly sounded in the earphones.
"Buzz buzz..."
The plane began to lower its altitude with a roar, and it was not until the airspace was one to two hundred meters that the pilot could clearly see the ground.
Immediately control the aircraft to fly towards a target guided by the ground troops.
Aim, drop bombs...
"Da da da……"
Before I had time to press the bomb button, a string of flames appeared in front of the plane!
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army on the ground really has anti-aircraft firepower!" the pilot cursed loudly, holding the aircraft control stick in his hand, quickly climbed up to avoid it, and pressed the bomb release button just now!
"Boom boom boom~"
The bomb exploded, sending up three huge fireballs on the ground.
Unfortunately, because he had already begun to evade the anti-aircraft fire coming from the ground when he dropped the bombs, the three bombs missed their target by at least fifty meters. Only God knows whether they achieved any results.
The three bombers bombed while dodging ground anti-aircraft fire, round after round, until they threw away all the ammunition they carried before retreating.
"Warriors, fight with me, seize the position, and kill the remaining Eighth Route Army!"
As soon as the plane left, the Japs from the two squadrons rushed out of their positions and launched an attack on the second battalion from both sides.
"Papa ~ Da Da ~"
As soon as the Japanese appeared, gunfire rang out from the Eighth Route Army positions filled with craters.
"Yo Xi, there are so few gunshots. There must not be many people left in the Eighth Route Army. We will definitely be able to get in and kill them this time!" a leading squadron leader shouted with arrogance.
He waved his command sword as if victory was waving to him, and shouted an order.
"Kill them, rush up, kill all the Eighth Route Army, kill them all!"
"Pa bang bang..."
The counterattack firepower on the position became much denser, and Japanese soldiers continued to be shot and fell to the ground.
But this casualty is obviously nothing to an infantry squadron.
The Japanese squadron leader became more and more arrogant at this time, and continued to shout: "Victory is at hand, the Eighth Route Army has no one left, kill them!"
"Boom boom boom..."
At this moment, more than twenty grenades flew towards them, and more than a dozen Japanese were submerged in the smoke caused by the explosion of grenades. Then they fell to the ground, motionless.
The Japs reacted quickly. The follow-up troops took out grenades and threw them forward.
Then he held the rifle in his hand and began the final attack as if sprinting.
"Kill me!"
On the constantly exploding position, there was nothing but corpses.
More than twenty meters ahead, a dozen Eighth Route Army troops were retreating in confusion. They must have just been repulsed.
"We're in. The Eighth Route Army has been defeated by us...continue to attack and kill them!" The squadron leader's arrogant face already showed a smile of victory, and he ordered the troops to continue to attack without hesitation!
"Kill me~" The Japanese soldiers became more and more arrogant and rushed forward with their guns in hand!
More than 100 meters away, more than 90 soldiers were divided into three and hid in three huge craters distributed in a finished shape.
The commander of the first company, who was also the commando leader of the second battalion, held a submachine gun and stared seriously at the little Japs in front of him who kept crossing the position.
"These Japs are too arrogant. We will let them know in a moment that the more arrogant they are on the battlefield, the faster they will die!" A sneer flashed across the company commander's serious face, and then he began to give orders.
"Everyone is here, loaded with bullets. When I give the order, they all rush out with me and attack the little devils face to face, catching them off guard!"
