Chapter 215 Zhao Dalei's Assault
The little devil fighters quickly spotted the Eighth Route fighters marching on the ground, and without hesitation, one of them swooped down and dropped aerial bombs on the crowd!
There happened to be the assault team of Ping An Group, and the leading captain saw the enemy plane bomb falling from the sky from a small black spot, "Everyone lie down on the spot! Dodge the enemy plane's air attack!"

Soldiers in the Pingan group, who had some experience in air raid drills, remained calm and observed the surrounding situation one after another. They lay down directly in the pit, boulder or ditch, waiting for the bombs of the enemy plane to land.

The four huge explosions ignited some dead branches and leaves in the forest. Except for some soldiers who were unlucky and happened to lie down next to the bomb and died, most of the soldiers were safe and sound.

"Be careful to disperse to the woods to hide, the little devil fighters will return to dive and shoot soon!" The team leader led the team according to the drilled specifications, and began to direct the soldiers to avoid the little devil's second round of machine gun fire.

At this time, try not to appear in the sight of the little devil.

"Machine gunners prepare for the air, as long as they aim at the enemy plane in the dive direction, they don't need to save bullets, they shoot in advance, and strive for several machine guns to fire continuous firepower together!"

Although this method is better than nothing, everyone still has to struggle.

Sure enough, not long after the captain finished speaking, the little devil swooped down with a fighter plane and fired directly at the figure on the ground. Two heavy machine guns formed two tongues of flame, plowing out two grooves made by two bullets under the plane!
Although the captain reminded them to avoid, there were still soldiers who died on the spot within this range of fire.

The counter-attacking machine guns fired bullets into the air, but it was useless.

This is an experienced fighter pilot of the little devil. They know the equipment of the ground troops like the back of their hands. As long as they control the altitude above 500 meters, the counterattack of the light machine gun is equal to zero, basically out of reach.

And the heavy machine gun couldn't be set up to aim at the air in a hurry. It can be said that at the height of 500 meters, the little devil fighter planes were allowed to wreak havoc.

The heavy machine gun bullets fired by diving from the air can severely damage all opponents surrounded by firepower nets.

The first place, the second place, the little devil's air force spread out, and found the main force groups charging one after another around the 26th division.

Without exception, all began to attack.

Among them, one of the main regiments in Jinsui District lacked any experience in dealing with fighter planes. When the aerial bombs were dropped, the underground fighters were still running around, and a single aerial bomb severely damaged a platoon!

In the subsequent dive attack, the regiment that exposed the soldiers was once again washed out by heavy machine guns, and dozens of soldiers were sacrificed in one round of shooting.

In just a few minutes, more than 100 soldiers were killed or injured!
The battle began to show a tragic side!
The 8 fighters all of a sudden caused a lot of interference to Gao Jianwu's deployment.

Xiangcheng Xianer began to command the troops, took the brigade as a combat unit to seize the nearby hilltops, and avoided the road first to avoid Gao Jianwu's preset shelling. , quickly restored the organizational system and stabilized the morale of the army.

Even Xiangcheng Xianji assembled a cavalry regiment, ready to find a target to launch a counterattack.

It's just that the terrain here is too unfriendly to the cavalry, and there are no decent roads. Xiangcheng Xianji's idea has never been able to land.On the contrary, the little devil's chief of staff, Koto Ikki, had an idea and suggested that both the cavalry regiment and the transportation unit be retreated seven or eight kilometers to stand by.

If it didn't work, they retreated back to Daicheng and opened the way with the cavalry regiment, and there was still a retreat.

Xiangcheng Xianer heard that Gumen Kazuki's argument was very reasonable, so he really sent the cavalry regiment back.

I followed the 12st Infantry Battalion of the [-]th Regiment and launched a defense on a hill.

Waiting for the reconnaissance information given to him by the Air Force fighter plane.

Since there was no way to directly communicate with the air, Kashiro Kenji could only wait for the air fighter to fly back and notify him by telegram.

In this way, the reaction cycle will be relatively long, and Kenji Kashiro is not completely idle. He and Koto Kazuki unfolded the map, and based on their observation of the fighter planes, roughly marked seven or eight points on the map. Basically, there are places where fighter planes find the enemy and start attacking.

"Your Excellency Xiangcheng, the situation is not very good. The enemy has destroyed our artillery wing. I believe they will continue to bombard us as soon as the fighter planes fly away. We don't have the means to counter the mountain artillery. The situation is too passive. Despicable It is recommended to immediately retreat back to Daicheng with alternate cover, and regroup the army before fighting."

"If these locations are all at the regimental level and above the Tuba Road, then the main force of the two division-level units of the Eighth Road has already appeared around us. It can be seen that this is a big operation against our army planned by the Eighth Road headquarters." Gumen Yi Hui analyzed rationally.

Seven or eight regiments dared to fight against one division, Xiangcheng Xianer somewhat admired the courage of these eight regiments.

It's just that Gao Jianwu accurately knocked out his artillery unit, making Kashiro Kenji lose his enterprising spirit, and while waiting for information on the top of the hill, he missed the best time to escape suggested by Koto Ikki.

After the little devil's fighter plane finished firing the bullets and flew away, all the troops in the attack group accelerated their attack speed, and under the guidance of Gao Jianwu, they rushed to the hills occupied by the little devil.

The battle has progressed to this point, and both sides have deviated somewhat from their original plans or deployments.

Seeing an opportunity, Gao Jianwu ordered the artillery to pull out again, and began shelling the little devils gathered on the hill!
If it was at the foot of the mountain, Gao Jianwu really had no way to do anything with the blind spots, but for the little devils exposed on the surrounding hills, Gao Jianwu really wanted to thank the instigator Xiangcheng Xianer for giving him such a good opportunity.

Cannonballs flew over from several kilometers away, and there was no other way for the little devil to go except to hide around.

They were quickly dispersed down the mountain and found a place behind the mountain that Gao Jianwu couldn't see. One of the captains of the little devil had a flash of light in his head and guessed the mountain where Gao Jianwu might be lurking. He volunteered to send someone to occupy this high point !
Everyone guessed that there was the opponent's artillery observer nearby, otherwise it would be impossible to carry out a precise strike on this side from a few kilometers away, but only the captain of the brigade headed towards the highest peak nearby with a squadron.

In the distance, Gao Jianwu saw the change of the little devil in the squadron, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.With Song Tiecheng and the others here, not to mention one squadron, even if two squadrons came, it would be free.

Gao Jianwu watched the six roads with his eyes, and used shells to wash the ground of all the little devils who occupied the top of the mountain, and drove them out of the top of the mountain.

Greatly dampened the morale of the little devil.

In this era, the advantage of artillery is too strong.

Gao Jianwu stared at the people of the 26th Division who fled to the top of the mountain and beat them hard. On the other hand, Gao Jianwu was always listening to the voices in the air.

At this moment, the casualties of various ministries are reported. Hundreds of people have been killed or injured by the enemy's air strikes!
Some of these regiments had more than 200 casualties. Such a heavy casualty was Gao Jianwu's worst fight ever.

But at this moment, they couldn't take a single step back, and the attacking departments rushed faster according to the guidance of the target, and soon some troops exchanged fire with the little devils halfway up on the other side of the mountain!
Eighth Road, which lost its geographical advantage, had to take advantage of its attached mortars to launch an attack on the little devils on the mountainside.

Now each main force regiment has at least 8 mortars attached to it, and each attack group of the Ping An Group has more mortars, 16 in the regiment, and the two attack groups of the Dagushan Guerrilla Detachment also use 60mm mortars The artillery is assigned to the platoon level, and the number of mortars is even more.

Therefore, in the first battle, the results caused by the differences in weapons and equipment on the battlefield showed a huge difference.

Ping An Group's third attack group.Zhao Dalei looked at the little devil on the mountainside, observed for a while, pointed to the firepower of the light and heavy machine guns of the little devil, and said to the leader of the mortar unit to which he belonged: "Concentrate the firepower for labor and management, and destroy those machine gun firepower first!"

"Machine gun cover, a detachment of commandos is ready!"

As an old man in the Ping An Group, Zhao Dalei is now the number one main force, and he already knows how to skillfully use firepower to crush his opponents.

The people below responded to the call to fight, Zhao Dalei observed the enemy's distribution for a while, grabbed the walkie-talkie and started calling for artillery support!
The mountainside is densely covered with little devils, forming several skirmish lines of defense. However, due to the rush of time, these little devils can only lie on the ground and aim at Zhao Dalei's troops at the foot of the mountain. The distance between the two sides is now more than 300 meters, and the interaction effect of rifles is not ideal. , mainly using machine guns, mortars, and grenades for offense and defense.

Zhao Dalei reported the relative position of the enemy's target to Gao Jianwu through the walkie-talkie. Gao Jianwu immediately adjusted the 4 mountain cannons of the Shanpao Battalion to attack the target range indicated by Zhao Dalei!
After only one round of salvo, Zhao Dalei saw that the little devil's heavy machine gun positions were destroyed by artillery fire!

"Big Brother Artillery is still stronger!" Zhao Dalei looked at the devil's position that was destroyed in an instant, and resisted the urge to continue calling for artillery support.

His Zhao Dalei's brigade is not a soft persimmon, after destroying the heavy machine gun positions that are the most threatening to the little devil, he will do the rest by himself!

It didn't take long for Zhao Dalei's mortar unit and the mortars belonging to each unit to find their positions. After aiming adjustments and test firing, the mortar shells flew directly to the machine gun fire targets of the little devil's brigade!

The infantry unit stared at the little devil's line of defense, watched the mortars attack, and quickly tore through the defense line of machine gun fire points that the little devil had hastily built. After clearing most of the little devil's heavy fire points, the infantry unit did not hesitate to attack!
One by one formed a tactical formation of skirmishers, covered with machine guns, and opened the way with mortars. Watching his front line being torn apart a little bit.

Although the little devil's desperate counterattack, grenades and cantaloupe grenades were fully fired, causing many casualties to Zhao Dalei's large team, but this battle is a crucial one, whether it is the safe group or the pre-war mobilization of the Jinsui District. , They all issued a general mobilization to win.

From the captain to the soldiers below, the screaming Pingan group all left suicide notes before the battle. Facing the fierce enemy, they must go all out to fight to the death!
