Chapter 607 The Madness of the Crazy Independent Regiment of Japanese Invaders Is in the Past

The little devil, who had an absolute air-to-air advantage, suddenly sent planes for reinforcements, which indeed turned the situation around quite a bit.

Various ministries in the Taihang base.

Originally, because of the destruction of the observation group, the failure of the beheading operation of the Yamamoto Special Forces, and the Japanese army was blocked in layers during the advancement process, and the Japanese army had no choice but to retreat.

They were ambushed by regiments of the Eighth Route Army along the way, and the casualties continued to increase.

According to this state of affairs, if there is no air support from the devils.

Even if these Japanese and puppet troops were able to get out of the quagmire of the Eighth Route Army base area, they would have to lose their skin if they died.

After the Japanese air reinforcements arrived, the devils who were originally being chased took advantage of the air support to suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

Many troops took the opportunity to escape the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.

But even so, with the help of air reinforcements and the support of reinforcements arriving from the periphery, the casualties of the Japanese troops who broke out from the root of the sweeping Eighth Route Army were still quite heavy.

A Japanese brigade advancing from the direction of the Fifth Regiment.

Under the circumstances that Commander Feng led the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment to set up ambushes along the way and pursue them all the way.

When rushing out of the base area, the casualties exceeded one-third.

For this reason, the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment felt elated.

I remember that during the Devil's [-] raid not long ago, a Japanese brigade forced the Fifth Regiment to constantly shift positions.

A Japanese squadron can even fight against the entire Fifth Regiment in positional warfare.

Had it not been for the timely reinforcements of the Independent Regiment, the Fifth Regiment would have even been severely damaged by the Japanese army.

Thinking of the combat situation at that time, the cadres of the Fifth Regiment all felt sad.

The whole regiment had only one old heavy machine gun, and a company had less than three light machine guns, each with less than two hundred rounds of ammunition.

Within a few minutes of the battle, the soldiers were forced to move with empty firearms.

Unlike now, the equipment and ammunition in the regiment have been developed.

When blocking, three ninety-two strokes and more than a dozen crooked handles appeared, and the devil was stunned.

"This is confidence. If it weren't for the timely support of the devil's plane, we might not be able to take down the devil's brigade if we spend more time!"

When the battle was over and the battlefield was being cleaned, Commander Feng said to the cadres with a proud face.

As the two main combat regiments in the brigade, not to mention the defense zones of the [-]st and [-]nd regiments.

Under the powerful firepower, the advancing troops of the Devils could not move an inch.

In the confrontation between the two sides, the artillery fire that the devils have always relied on did not gain any advantage at all.

In the battle between China and Japan, the casualties caused by the Japanese army to the Eighth Route Army were mainly concentrated on the artillery fire of the devils, especially the firepower of some small-caliber but large number of grenadiers.

In today's battle, the Japanese army has completely lost the artillery advantage of the grenadier.

When the two sides were fighting, the combat troops of the [-]st Regiment and the [-]nd Regiment pulled out the [-] cannons one by one.

It is more powerful than the devil's Type [-] grenade launcher, and the shells can also hit farther. It can even get stuck in the range and unilaterally beat the little devil.

For this reason, the Japanese officers in command became more and more depressed as they fought.

Cannon fire failed to gain any advantage.

In terms of military strength, it is not as good as the Eighth Route Army.

I am not yet familiar with the topography of the base area.

The Eighth Route Army also used their best mobile warfare, mountain warfare, and roundabout raid warfare.

The Japanese army swept up the troops from all sides, but failed to obtain any sweetness.

After the devil's air support came over, the devil officers of the various Japanese troops breathed a sigh of relief. How could they dare to stop, and quickly took the opportunity to take the troops and slipped away.

Yangquan direction.

The Japanese army quickly gathered a brigade, plus two regiments of the Imperial Association Army, and sent reinforcements to the base of the Independent Regiment through the line of communication to meet the Japanese troops retreating from the base of the Independent Regiment.

The order from the Japanese Army Command was to quickly reinforce Niukou Village.

As a result, the Japanese army was ambushed again on the way.

The attacking troops were not weak in firepower, and even had mortars.

The supporting Japanese and puppet troops couldn't tell for a while whether the enemy's sneak attack was the Eighth Route local troops or the main combat troops.

Because they were afraid that they would run into the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they encountered an ambush on the way, and the support speed of the Japanese and puppet troops was greatly slowed down.

In the end, Yoshio Shinozuka, who received the news, ordered four additional tanks to be dispatched. Then he drove all the way, broke through the blocking forces along the way, and arrived at the outer defense area of ​​the Independence Regiment. Japanese and puppet troops.

The speed of the Japanese and puppet troops who came to reinforce them was not slow.

The arriving Japanese captain received the news.

In the ground of the independent regiment, the communication of many troops besieged by the Eighth Route Army was interrupted.

Including the communication department of Songtian Brigade, they also lost contact two hours ago.

The fighting continued until around seven o'clock that afternoon.

In another hour or so, it will be completely dark.

The four Japanese brigades that had originally advanced to the base of the Independent Regiment, and the remnants of the Imperial Association Army of the two regiments.

With the help of air support and the reinforcements from Yangquan.

Only then did they break through from the outer defense zone of the independent regiment.

The Japanese and puppet troops that rushed out at that time, except for the Matsuda Brigade, were completely wiped out.

The organizational system of the other three brigades was also completely disabled.

The Royal Association Army of the two regiments rushed out less than half of the regiment.

In the end, less than half of the more than 5000 Japanese and puppet troops rushed out.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who heard the news, was shocked and furious at the same time!
Immediately ordered the plane that had reloaded the shells to walk a few laps over the garrison of the Independent Regiment.

Seven thirty-five in the evening.

The manual anti-aircraft bell was rang at the Independence Regiment's garrison and surrounding areas.

boom--

boom -

25 Japanese fighter jets circled back and forth over the base of the Independence Regiment many times.

A total of more than 200 shells were thrown.

According to the direct notification to the enemy headquarters by the flying team of the Japanese army on this mission:

The flying team successfully completed the bombing mission of the independent regiment's root settlement, blowing up more than 20 targets suspected to be military factories, base stations, and anti-aircraft forts in the independent regiment.

The headquarters of the independent regiment is stationed.

Out of caution, the regiment leader Kong Jie, under the protection of the guard company, moved into the air defense fortification with all the personnel of the regiment headquarters.

Facing the unscrupulous Japanese bombing by planes, Commander Kong was very annoyed.

As soon as he received the air defense alert, Kong Jie issued two orders:
First, relevant personnel and facilities were quickly transferred to the air-raid fortifications, and villagers in various villages affected by the aircraft bombing were quickly transferred to the air-raid shelters with the assistance of militia cadres.

Second, the little devil's plane must not be allowed to continue to be so arrogant, and the air defense fortifications used in the defense construction of the regiment will be activated immediately.

"Shoot down this damn devil plane!"

In the defense construction of the independent regiment base area and its surrounding areas, Kong Jie has always attached great importance to the construction of artillery defense.

The repair shop has also made a lot of efforts for this.

As early as two months ago, the independent regiment's air defense infrastructure had achieved quite good results.

Needless to say, the fortifications of the air-raid shelter are used to avoid the devil's air attack.

It is worth mentioning that the fire strike fortifications for air-to-air operations are hidden in the base of the independent regiment.

There are anti-air forts, equipped with Type [-] [-]mm cannons captured from the devils.

This kind of machine gun is very suitable for air defense. The maximum effective shooting height is more than 600 meters. Facing the planes bombed by the devils at low altitudes, as long as one shot hits, the devils' planes are basically not spared.

Especially the Devil's Zero aircraft, which pursues speed and maneuverability, has very weak armor.

In addition, the anti-aircraft towers of the independent regiment are also equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns, especially for air strikes.

……

Yoshio Shinozuka of the First Army Command had a rare smile on his face after listening to the report from the first half of the flight team.

But then, his smile froze completely.

"...Our army's intelligence has made a major mistake. The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army already has a very powerful anti-air force. They are equipped with a lot of machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns."

"The anti-aircraft fire came very suddenly. Nine of our planes were hit by the opponent and crashed and were damaged in the Taihang Mountains."

……

Nine planes were exchanged for the destruction of some base stations, forts, and factories of the Independence Regiment. Yoshio Shinozuka didn't know whether to say whether it was a profit or a loss.

I had no choice but to comfort myself in my heart, at least the factories and forts of the independent regiment were blown up a lot.

Independence Corps.

The devil's plane was obviously stunned by the air defense force of the independent regiment. After retreating, Kong Jie led the cadres back to the regiment headquarters.

"Immediately check the specific loss situation within the group."

Kong Jie gave the order, feeling a little worried in his heart.

Soon, the first news to be delivered to the regiment headquarters was the results of the air defense fortifications in various places:

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, we have shot down nine Japanese aircraft in this air-to-air battle!"

"Okay, good fight. After this battle, the little devils should know that our base area is not a place where their planes come and go whenever they want!"

Kong Jie commended, and then asked the question he was most concerned about: "Did the losses in the regiment be counted for the devil's bombing?"

The commander of the communication company arrived, with a happy face, and personally reported to Kong Jiehui:
"Reporting to the head, the loss has been verified."

"In addition to some camouflaged forts, camouflaged anti-air watchtowers, and camouflaged factories that were blown up by devils, some cultivated land around our garrison was affected, and more than an acre of crops were lost."

"As for casualties, our air defense alert was delivered in a timely manner, and everyone went through many evacuation drills on weekdays, so they moved to the air-raid shelter immediately, but some fellow villagers were slightly injured by the falling explosives. .”

"Is this gone?"

Beside Kong Jie, the outspoken monk couldn't help asking.

Li Wenjie, the political commissar, admired: "Regimental Commander, you really have you. At the beginning, you said that you would build air defense in the regiment, and build more camouflaged empty forts, watchtowers, and particularly obvious fake factories."

"The defense is that one day the devils will launch an air strike. I didn't expect it to come in handy today!"

"The devil was shot down by us and nine planes were shot down. If he knew that what he replaced was just some empty shells used as camouflage, he would be very angry!"

Ha ha ha ha--

The cadres laughed together when they heard this, the depression and solemnity brought about by the devil's air raid were swept away like this...
