my bright sword career

Chapter 322 Shadow
The first wave of attack was the 12 Stuka dive bombers of the No. [-] Bombing Squadron. They were performing fixed-point precision bombing missions. Dive down vertically from high altitude, and accurately throw the aerial bombs it carries into the crowd.

That's all, but what worries Shigezaburo Miyazaki the most is that the Stuka dive bombers are most interested in not the gathering point of the Japanese army, but the artillery wing and the artillery they carry.

Once artillery or trucks are discovered by them, those Stukas will roar down like vultures smelling blood, and machine guns and bombs will pour down like no money. During that time, he saw at least seven or eight artillery pieces blown up by planes.

Seeing this scene, Shigesaburo Miyazaki closed his eyes in pain.

As we all know, Japan is an island country with scarce resources, and 80.00% of the materials it needs need to be imported, especially the steel needed to make artillery, which can only be imported from the United States in the name of scrap steel. A cannon is very precious, and it will not be given up easily unless it is absolutely necessary. Now seven or eight cannons have been lost at once, which also makes Miyazaki Shigeru's heart bleed.

…………

"Your Excellency, Commander... The 31st Division reports urgently. They have been bombed by the Rentai Flying Brigade. Lieutenant General Shigezaburo Miyazaki requests urgent tactical guidance!" Chief of Operations Section Miyamoto Ichiro, Lieutenant Sato, almost sprinted in. He went to the office of Neji Gangcun and reported to him the news that the 31st Division had been bombed.

"They finally did it."

To the surprise of Miyamoto Ichiro, Okamura Neiji did not get angry as expected, but sighed helplessly, "Gao Hongming is indeed a rising star in China in recent years, and his ability to grasp the opportunity of battle is very good. powerful.

The Third Army had just attacked his airport, and he sent bombers to bomb our reinforcements in a blink of an eye. His ability to control the fighters was also outstanding among the Chinese generals I knew. "

Miyamoto Ichiro said anxiously: "Your Excellency, what should we do now? Should we immediately order the Third Flying Army to immediately support the 31st Division?"

Neji Okamura asked back: "Do you think it's still too late?"

"This..." Ichiro Miyamoto was a little speechless. The third flight group is located in Shanxi, Hebei and other airports, and the distance to the nearest one is more than 100 kilometers. When they arrive, the day lily will be cold. It is impossible to go now. Meaningless.

He said unwillingly: "Then, we can't just do nothing, right?"

"No one will say anything." A stern light flashed in Gangcun Ningci's eyes, "Do you think Gao Hongming simply bombed the 31st Division?"

"Nani?"

A flash of lightning flashed in Ichiro Miyamoto's mind, and he lost his voice: "Could it be... don't they want to do something to the other reinforcements?"

"Why not." Gangcun Ningci said coldly: "Don't forget, the 33rd and 36th divisions are still on their way. There is a proverb in China, one sheep is driven, and a group of sheep is also driven , The 31st Division can be bombed, why can't the 33rd and 36th Divisions be bombed?"

Ichiro Miyamoto thought about it, and said with some doubts: "But according to the information, Gao Hongming's air force is not large, at most there are more than 20 Stuka dive bombers bought from Germany. They can support such a large-scale air force. Air strikes?"

Gangcun Ningci's smile faded, and a sarcasm appeared on his face: "That's what the Mei Agency reported last time, what's the result?"

Ichiro Miyamoto stopped talking. A few days ago, the Third Aviation Group gathered more than 200 planes to raid Rentai and fly to the brigade's airport, trying to destroy this new air power in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, due to the wrong information provided by the Mei Agency, the Third Flying Group kicked on the iron plate. This battle also caused the Third Flying Group to lose nearly a hundred fighters. Willing to dispatch fighter planes to support the 37th Division that is attacking Guojialing.

Of course, there is a reason for too much loss, but Gangcun Ningci doesn't know that this is an excuse for the Third Aviation Group to express its dissatisfaction.

But Neiji Okamura is not such a person who bows his head so easily, he pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "Miyamoto-kun, draft the telegram immediately."

"Hi!"

Ichiro Miyamoto quickly took out his notebook and pencil from his briefcase.

"Immediately send a report to Sugawara Michidai, and ask them to send no less than a hundred fighters to Zhongtiao Mountain, patrolling the marching routes of the 33rd and 36th divisions, and destroy the Chinese fighters immediately if they find them. It is necessary to ensure that the reinforcements can arrive in time. Arriving in Yangping Town, this order cannot be delayed for any reason, otherwise military law will be followed!"

Hearing this, Miyamoto Ichiro was startled, the pencil couldn't help slipping on the notebook, and he reminded in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, wouldn't it be better to say the latter sentence more tactfully?"

"Euphemistically?"

Neiji Okamura sneered: "If you continue to be euphemistic, our reinforcements will probably be blown up. Go and tell Michida Sugawara that if the third flight group doesn't dispatch planes within an hour, he, the commander of the flight group Don't be that person anymore, I will suggest to the base camp to get another competent person to dismantle him."

Ichiro Miyamoto frowned when he heard it. Since his own commander's city government can say such serious words, it can be seen that Okamura Ningji is really anxious. If Sugawara Michida is not sensible, maybe he will really Make a change of general.

With a loud noise, the last truck towing the artillery was blown into the sky by a [-]kg bomb. The pungent smell of dust and gunpowder filled the sky, and fine dust continued to float everywhere in the air.

Under a dirt slope, a man in a tea-green khaki military uniform moved.

Shigesaburo Miyazaki still heard the buzzing sound from the explosion just now, and as soon as he stood up, the mud and sewage poured out of his body.

At this time, the road had already changed, and there were fragments of corpses everywhere.There were also some officers and soldiers who survived by chance, and all their faces were covered with mud and blood.

However, compared to his physical exhaustion and embarrassment, Miyazaki Shigeru was more desperate in his heart.

Looking at the messy road, he murmured to himself: "It's over, my artillery regiment is over."

As a soldier who has been in the army for decades, he knows very well that without the artillery wing, even if he can rush to Guojialing to join the 37th Division, it is still unknown how much combat effectiveness the 31st Division can exert.

He could even foresee that his career in the military had cast a heavy shadow.
