Chapter 425 They Are About to Break Out
This kind of devastating bombing has a famous name in later generations, it is called carpet bombing.

Carpet bombing is a tactical bombing method used by the United States in another time and space during World War II, that is, dropping a bomb every 50 meters to conduct a large-scale blind bombing of the target area, turning over the entire land in the target area like arable land , use this method to wipe out all the enemies without leaving one.

This pioneering bombing method dealt a devastating blow to Germany and Japan. It can be said that after the war, these two countries were bombed into ruins by this bombing method of the Yankees. In this time and space, the Japanese Army's sixth The division was the first to get a taste of this devastating bombing.

The time it takes for an aerial bomb to go out of the cabin to explode on the ground is only a few tens of seconds, but the consequences of the lock explosion are extremely terrible.

The dense smoke filled the sky, wrapped in dust and flames, completely covered the nearly [-] square meters of ground in front of the Independence Regiment, and it lasted for nearly ten minutes before slowly dissipating.

Although the nearest explosion point was 400 meters away from the new regiment's position, the soldiers of the new regiment hiding in the foxholes were also uncomfortable.

The foxholes and trenches where many people were located were collapsed by the strong shock wave, so that as soon as the explosion ended, the surrounding soldiers used their hands and feet to throw away the soil to dig out the comrades who were buried below.

After finally digging out the comrades-in-arms, a thick heat wave swept towards them.

It stands to reason that it is still very cold in Shanxi late at night in April, and sometimes the temperature at night can even reach three or four degrees. All the soldiers of the Xinyi Regiment are still wearing cotton jackets, but it is such a wave of heat that makes all the soldiers sweat profusely .

But this is nothing, the soldiers of the new regiment at this time can no longer care about the heat or not, because at this time they are all dumbfounded looking at the mountain under the illumination of the flares.

Due to the rapid action of the Japanese army, as of now, the troops that the Japanese army has arrived include the Sixth Field Artillery Regiment, the Sixth Cavalry Regiment and the 45th Infantry Regiment.

Not counting the artillery regiment, the strength of the cavalry regiment and infantry regiment alone has exceeded 5000, so the Japanese army has sufficient troops to surround the two hills.

The bombs dropped by the B-25 bombing squadron just now covered all the positions of a brigade of Japanese infantry. It can be said that this brigade suffered a devastating blow in just one round of bombing.

Looking at the Japanese army that had become silent in front of them, everyone in the Xinyi Regiment knew that the Japanese army in front of them was finished, and even gods could not save them.

On the hillside, Political Commissar Li looked at the scorched-earthed Japanese army positions down the hill, and his expression became sluggish, "My dear...these planes are too...too..."

He really couldn't find words to describe the bombing.

"呲呲呲..."

At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the speaker of the walkie-talkie behind him, and soon a young voice rang out, "Please answer if you hear it from Xinyi Regiment. I am Major Xue Shaogong, the commander of the air formation... Please answer."

Ding Wei hurriedly put on the headset and picked up the microphone, suppressing his excitement and shouting loudly, "I am Ding Wei, the head of the new regiment. Thank you for your late-night rescue. Please express my gratitude to the head of the high regiment for me!"

Xue Shaogong's voice came from the headset, "Mr. Ding is too polite. Before we came, our regiment said that you can lead all the soldiers of the new regiment regardless of life and death, and come to reinforce our fight against the Japanese invaders. We should be grateful to you." You are."

Hearing this, Ding Wei blushed, he was very clear in his heart.

The reason why he rushed to Liantai County so eagerly was not only to support the friendly army, but a large part of the reason was also because the Xinyi Regiment had been fighting continuously for more than a month, and the troops were almost exhausted in terms of weapons, ammunition and food supplies.

Instead of continuing to play hide-and-seek with the Japanese army in the mountains, it is better to rush to Liantai County and join the Liantai militia. As long as they can reach Liantai County, the new regiment will be full of blood immediately. Why not do such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?

But then again, everything in the world is based on deeds regardless of heart, and no one is perfect in the world.

I believe Gao Hongming also understands this in his heart, no matter what the purpose of the person is, he has to accept this favor.

These things are long stories, but in fact they are just moments.

Ding Wei, who came back to his senses, hurriedly said: "Brother Xue, now we have been surrounded by at least five or six thousand Japanese army regiments. Although your bombing just now caused a lot of casualties to the enemy, they have not suffered a devastating blow. We We are worried that once we break away from the support of the position, the Japanese army will attack us unscrupulously, and it will be troublesome at that time.”

Ding Wei's words are naturally very reasonable. The reason why the Xinyi Regiment confronted the Japanese army with the superior force in the area for so long was because they took the lead in occupying the favorable terrain on the two hills. , the new regiment, which has consumed most of its reserve ammunition in more than a month of mobile warfare, will not last long.

Facing Ding Wei's concerns, Xue Shaogong just chuckled: "Don't worry, Chief Ding. In order to support you, Chief Gao has dispatched all the bombers. Except for the bombing squadron that has just returned after the bombing, now you are here There are also two Stuka dive bomber squadrons, a B-25 bomber squadron and two fighter squadrons with a total of 120 aircraft overhead.

As long as the Japanese troops dare to surround us, we will let them know what a death barrier is, so you don't have to worry about your safety. "

Although Xue Shaogong said this sentence in a light and light tone, the arrogance contained in it made Ding Wei and Political Commissar Li speechless for a while, and Ding Wei could only say a few more vague words before hanging up communication.

After putting down the microphone, he and Political Commissar Li looked at each other, and there was a wry smile on both of their faces at the same time. They have already talked about this point, can he still refuse?

After pondering for a moment, Ding Wei's eyes gradually became firm, "Correspondent!"

"To!"

"Pass my order, the whole group will unite, and we will break out in the southeast direction in 10 minutes!"

"Yes!"

While Ding Wei was busy breaking through, Nagase Shotaro, captain of the 45th Regiment, was still immersed in great shock and sadness.

It's just that in this round of bombing just now, the third brigade under his command just disappeared, no one can bear it.

It's just that after the shock, a chill ran down the spine. When did the Chinese have such powerful air power?

While he was still in shock, the chief of staff rushed over: "Your Excellency, Captain, look quickly...the Chinese...the Chinese are about to break through!"
