The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 397

This time, the Devils spent a lot of money. After receiving the emergency request from the Ishii United, they directly sent more than a dozen bombers to support them.

If it is said that the artillery superiority of the devils in the past made the Eighth Route Army troops with backward equipment and scarce ammunition a headache.

The devil's air support made the Eighth Route Army even more helpless.

Not to mention, the entire Eighth Route Army has not even had a single aircraft that can go to the battlefield.

Kong Jie could send a commando to blow up the devil's airport and the devil's plane, but it is basically impossible for the Eighth Route Army to have its own aviation power.

As soon as the devil's dozen bombers arrived, the situation was reversed.

Round after round of bombs, they bombarded the area where the Eighth Route Army team chasing Ishii's unit was located.

Although Shen Quan discovered the devil's plane in advance and ordered the soldiers to spread out the team in time to cover it with the help of mountains and trees, the devil's bombs dropped several rounds, and there were still some casualties in the team.

"Damn it, this little bastard just bullies us because we don't have a plane."

"Let them go wild, go back and find out the location of the devil's airport, and blow him up again!"

The first battalion commander Wang Leihu couldn't help cursing, and then shouted to Shen Quan: "Old Shen, the little devil's plane obviously came to cover the retreat of the Ishii regiment. The devil's bombing is too powerful, and our team can't pursue it now, otherwise there will be casualties." Unavoidable."

"Fortunately, we are not too far away from the Ishii Regiment. The devil's bomber does not dare to carry out high-altitude bombing, for fear of accidentally injuring the little devil. Look carefully, every time this devil bombs, the plane is lower."

"This bastard little devil will use planes to bomb him as soon as he can't beat him. I can't swallow this bad breath."

"Why don't we arrange some machine gunners in advance, and use the trees to hide in advance, wait until the devil's bomber dives down again, and when it reaches the lowest position, they will shoot at the air in unison, and if they can be shot down, they count as one."

Shen Quan looked at the first battalion commander in surprise, "Okay, Lei Hu, your kid has learned to use his brain, I think this method will work!"

The two battalion commanders did what they said, and immediately passed on the order.

The soldiers quickly executed it, with four NO.50 machine gunners sticking close to the tree trunk, with two assistants, in a group of three, the two helped to stabilize the gun frame, and at the same time as the ammunition man, the main shooter was responsible for shooting into the air.

After the rapid deployment, it didn't take long before the Devil plane, which had just dropped a round of bombs, roared past, turned in a big circle, and then roared again.As it approached the bombing target, the plane dropped altitude.

boom -

Another round of bombs was dropped, and with the loud explosion, the two [-]mm machine guns loaded on the plane fired at the area where the Eighth Route Army was located in the mountains and forests.

Shen Quan and Wang Leihu issued combat orders amid roars.

"beat!"

The devil is using a Japanese zero fighter.

The advantages of this kind of aircraft are obvious, such as fast flight speed and high climbing efficiency, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Due to the excessive pursuit of light aircraft load, the armor is relatively weak.

When more than 50 machine guns fired in unison, shooting into the air.

From the point of view of the Devil pilot, a dense firepower burst out suddenly in the originally dense forest. The bullets seemed to be intertwined into a dense net, and they rushed directly towards the Devil fighter flying at low altitude.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is not too far. In order to bomb accurately, the Devil’s plane flies at a very low altitude. When the machine gun bullet hits it, it can easily penetrate the armor of the Devil’s plane, and the flying bullets can easily threaten the enemy. Devil pilot sitting in the cockpit.

There is only about eight or nine seconds before and after.

More than a dozen Devil bombers roared past again.

When they passed through the intertwined firepower network of more than 50 machine gun firepower, the armor of many devil planes was beaten like a sieve, and five of the dozens of bombers whizzing by had already started to smoke. The three planes were more unlucky. They were hit by bullets in their fuel tanks, and they went straight to the end of their lives in the explosion. The control lever failed, and the pilot died. They flew not far away, and directly plunged into a deep mountain, followed by a loud explosion.

This scene startled the Devil pilots, and quickly operated the plane to climb rapidly, out of the effective range of the machine gun fire on the ground.

No longer dare to carry out low-altitude bombing.

At this time, the bombs carried by the devil's plane were almost exhausted.

In addition, the Ishii Regiment had already used planes to bomb the Eighth Route Army, and took the opportunity to distance itself from the pursuing Independent Regiment and Ding Wei's Xinyi Regiment, which was ambushing on both sides of the mountain road.

The Devil bombers that had completed their mission roared away.

The wreckage of the three planes and the three pilots remained forever on this desolate land.

Ishii Yuanichi, the captain of the Guizi regiment who finally took the opportunity to escape the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, did not rush to order the statistics of the regiment's casualties until he arrived at the nearest large stronghold deployed by the Japanese army on the highway.

The final statistical results are:
The Ishii Regiment, which went all the way to Zhangjiazhuang, was originally an elite group of [-] soldiers.

In the hands of the [-]st Company of the Independence Regiment and the militia fighters, that is, at the turn of the mountain and the ridge line of the top of the slope, there were more than [-] casualties, of which [-] were killed.
After that, they pursued the Independence Regiment along the way, and the company and the militia team suffered some small casualties, and then stepped into the final ambush circle of the Independence Regiment.

In less than 10 minutes, Ishii's unit, which hastily responded to the battle, ordered to retreat, but the unit still suffered more than 500 casualties, of which more than [-] were killed.

After that, he retreated all the way, was chased by the independent regiment, and was ambushed by the new regiment led by Ding Wei on both sides of the mountain.

The Ishii regiment again suffered more than [-] casualties, of which more than [-] were killed.

Putting it all together, the main force of the Ishii United Army that attacked Zhangjiazhuang suffered a total of more than [-] casualties, of which more than [-] were killed.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Ishii Haraichi turned pale for a moment.

His Ishii United team returned home in a disastrous defeat this time.

If it weren't for the decisiveness of Ishii Haraichi's retreat order, coupled with the air support, the casualties of his Ishii unit might be far more than that.

Then, the devil's chief of staff, who was also in a panic, made Ishiihara fall into an ice cave with one sentence:

"Your Excellency, Captain, Nishimura has not received any information until now!"

Ishiihara was silent. At this moment, his original arrogance had already been beaten to pieces by the Eighth Route Army.

He didn't even know what kind of place Niukou Village was, and how many main forces of the Eighth Route Army were there.

Zhangjiazhuang has directly defeated the main force of the alliance all the way, and Xicun has not reported the situation all the way.

The [-] imperial troops and the [-] imperial alliance troops are probably in danger.

If calculated in this way, the number of Japanese soldiers killed in the Ishii Regiment may have to add 500 people.

The number of troops killed in battle has exceeded a full brigade.

More than one-third of the entire Ishii United team died in battle, and more than half of the casualties.

……

West Village.

The specific situation is almost the same as Ishiihara's worst guess.

According to the more than [-] devils who were firmly guarded, after Li Yunlong led the team of the new second regiment to the back, Lei Dasheng, the commander of the fourth battalion, and Du Aiguo, the commander of the fifth battalion, joined forces with Li Yunlong's troops to attack back and forth. After nearly an hour of fighting , Clear up the stubborn Japanese army.

So far, the battle has finally come to an end.

In the end, it ended in a disastrous defeat between the Ishii United Team and the Yamamoto Special Team...
