Chapter 173 Cannon
The powerful firepower from the ground caught the pilots of the Kudo Air Force by surprise. Kuto Houbing was given priority by Ouyang Yun because he was driving a brand new Kawasaki Type 92, and a sniper rifle bullet from later generations took his life.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m dissatisfied that I’ve received the same treatment as Baldy Kimura. Not long ago, Kimura was still the laughing stock of everyone. Kuto, who was about to fall into hell, used the last trace of his god to send the plane to the blocking position of the cadet division bump up.

Because Ouyang Yun's shooting was too stealthy, in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers on the ground and in the air, it was really abnormal for Kuto Houbing to behave like this.The Japanese are more superstitious about ghosts and gods. Some people think that this is how the bald man Kimura died, and they can't help thinking: Is it possible that Squadron Leader Kuto, like Kimura, has cursed their fighters? !By this time, the arrogant and stubborn Japanese still did not believe that the rifle could really shoot down the plane.Unbeknownst to them, just below them, a rifle from a later age is looking for their necks like a seductive rope on the face of a bull-headed horse from hell.

"Squadron Captain Jiuto, is your plane out of order?!" The clever little devil shouted at the top of the intercom.Without getting any response, they quickly adjusted their flight posture, and under the command of a small team leader, they began to rush towards the position of the air defense battalion.

Feng Yuanxiu was very lucky to see this scene. He didn't feel any danger at all. He threw the car away, jumped into the traffic trench and ran to the air defense position.At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: he must see with his own eyes how Master got off the plane!He didn't run very far when he was spotted by cats in several nearby air-raid shelters. Someone got into the hole and shouted behind him: "You don't want to die, get in the hole!"

Feng Yuanxiu didn't care at all, he still ran fast.

"This kid is crazy!"

"Why is he there?" the soldiers muttered behind him.

One person who was lucky enough to witness Kuto's crazy behavior was Doihara.

The legend that Ouyang Yun shot down the plane with a rifle had a certain impact on the morale of the Japanese army. Fortunately, Kudo Gou, who succeeded Kimura Bald, led the troops well. With his efforts, the aviation officers and soldiers have eliminated their fear.Now, Doihara hopes to use the might of the Kuto Air Force Squadron to completely eliminate the shadow that hangs over the hearts of the soldiers of the garrison army.

So, after he issued the order, he calculated the time and took the original garrison of more than 1000 troops to the front line of Daliuhe Town in a mighty way, so that he could watch the wonderful performance of the Royal Air Force in time.His car is a semi-new armored car, and he is sitting in the co-pilot seat. He is full of ambition, waving a folding fan that appeared at an unknown time in his hand, as if he is a strategist with no plans of.

In fact, Kawabe Masamune looked down on him a bit, because in his opinion, the glory of a soldier can only be obtained on the battlefield.And Doihara's previous so-called achievements were nothing more than petty theft.Of course, because Doihara was the commander-in-chief of this battle, he still looked quite respectful in his expression.

Doihara set out for Daliuhe Town with a brigade of Japanese troops. When he left Tianjin City, he saw Chinese soldiers from the 38th Division outside the city gate digging fortifications. He frowned and said, "Zhang Zizhong What do you want to do?"

Kawabe Masamune knew the reason, and said, "I heard that they are going to hold a military exercise recently."

Doihara was stunned for a moment, and then said to the staff sitting behind: "Pass down the order and let the soldiers restrain themselves." He thought in his heart: Zhang Zizhong must have another purpose behind the exercise for no reason.I heard that the 38th Division and the cadet division have always been relatively close, so we need to be careful.

"Your Excellency, Director, are you afraid that the 29th Army will stab us in the back?"

"Zhang Zizhong is not Feng Zhi'an and Liu Ruming, he is the same as Zhao Dengyu, the two most difficult bones of the 29th Army!"

The Japanese army has always been used to domineering in Tianjin. Before Doihara gave the order, the little devils often made troubles with the officers and soldiers of the 38th Division who were doing civil engineering work not far away.But the strange thing is that the officers and soldiers of the 38th Division who have been fighting against them in Tianjin seem to have changed this time. No matter how they provoke them, they just work in silence.

Doi was originally going to the front line to watch the emperor's warriors break through Wen'an County in person, but he couldn't help but become serious when he saw this scene.

He Bian Zhengsan looked down on the Chinese army. In his mind, apart from the cadets who had made him lose in battles, they could be regarded as an army. The Central Army, the 29th Army, and the Jin Army can only be regarded as reserves. , or even worse.He said: "There is nothing to worry about. Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army was so arrogant back then, so we drove them away—"

"No, no, you can't say that!" Doihara held onto the handrail, looked at him seriously and said, "The reason why China is so weak and can be bullied is because they are like a loose sand, not tightly hugged like our emperor's people. Regiment. General Riverside, if the 29 Chinese people gather together, this force cannot be underestimated! This is also the reason why I want to promote the establishment of the Puppet Manchuria. Only by dividing their forces can we defeat them one by one. The [-]th Army The combat power is still good, but they are not as united as they appear on the surface. I am not afraid of them, but our main enemy in North China is the cadets, please remember this!"

"Hayi!" Although Hebian Zhengsan was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to respectfully agree.

Doihara's current military rank is no different from that of Kawabe Shozo. Seeing him talking to himself in such a respectful tone, he was very satisfied, and then his tone became softer. He waved his hand and took a copy from the staff officer's hand. The map, pointing to the place names of Wen'an on it, said: "This time we will dispatch a brigade to capture Wen'an under the cover of aircraft and artillery, and then," he poked at the place names of Xiong County and Dacheng with a swipe of his finger, "Your troops and Yin Rugeng's puppet troops will attack these two places respectively, and then I will personally lead a brigade to attack Renqiu."

"Yin Rugeng? Is the puppet army okay? The apprentice army is not a motley crew."

Doihara smiled: "It's definitely not good to let the puppet army take the responsibility for the main attack alone, but I will let Chief of Staff Sakai personally lead the gendarmerie to supervise the battle." He tapped his fingers vigorously on the place name of Renqiu, and said: "Besides It doesn't matter if you can't attack, as long as you can draw a certain amount of troops from the apprentice division, when Ren Qiu is defeated, the apprentice division has no base, so we can decide how to fight next?!"

In all honesty, Doihara's battle plan is highly feasible. Kawabe Masamune was not an idiot, and he immediately saw through the mystery, and couldn't help but be impressed, saying: "No wonder I haven't seen Chief of Staff Sakai these days. He went to Yidong. Your Excellency, Director, I really didn't expect you to have such high military accomplishments."

Doihara smiled, picked up the folding fan, waved it, and said modestly: "The general praised you!"

Four wheels must be faster than two legs, because the roar of the plane was heard halfway, and Doihara hurriedly ordered the driver to speed up.He and Kawabe Shozo rushed to the front line with the staff of the headquarters one step ahead, and happened to be able to watch the wonderful performance of Kuto Houbing from a distance.

"What's going on? That plane must have been piloted by Squadron Leader Kuto himself?!" Masazo Kawabe couldn't hold his breath, and was the first to call out.

Doi's originally red face was suddenly shrouded in cloudy clouds - he would not be so naive as to believe that Kuto made such a crazy move because he was bewitched by an evil spirit, or that he was showing off his fighting skills for an air show.

There is only one explanation, the new Kawasaki Type 92 fighter was hit.A total of three planes were hit. It seems that the cadet division has an air defense unit, which Doihara did not know in advance.

Kuto was brave. After the fighter plane was hit, he did not try to escape, but swooped down with the idea of ​​dying with the enemy.The quality of the pilots of the Jiuto Squadron is also good. The sudden attack did not disrupt their position, and the remaining aircraft immediately adjusted their status and began to attack the air defense positions that threatened their safety.One after another, black bombs were dropped, and those who had dropped all the bombs began to attack the ground with the airborne machine guns.

As the brand-new Kawasaki Type 92 was out of sight of Hihara and the others, there was a loud "boom", followed by successive explosions. Even though they were far away, Doihara and the others still felt the intensity of the explosion— —The armored vehicle visibly jumped.A black mushroom cloud rose up, and then, the sound of explosions became more and more dense, and one cloud after another of smoke rose.Doihara's right eye twitched involuntarily. He waved his left hand vigorously and shouted, "Stop!"

Masazo Kawabe: "Director?!"

"The front is the artillery position, I want to go down and command it myself!"

The Japanese artillery participating in this battle is all the strength that Doihara can use. An artillery squadron of the original artillery squadron of the Jiatun Garrison has a total of four 150mm heavy artillery and twelve 75mm mountain artillery.

Doihara conducted a detailed investigation into the rumors that Ouyang Yun shot down the plane with a rifle, but the result was nothing. The officers and soldiers of the cadet division said that they used rifles, some said that they used machine guns, and even more absurdly said that they used a mysterious weapon. martial arts.Doihara was at the scene when Gohei Kuto did the crazy test, so he believed in the conclusion of that test: Kimura's fighter plane was absolutely impossible to be shot down by a rifle, and the biggest possibility was that the plane itself had malfunctioned.Because the surviving pilots all confirmed that the opponent had no anti-aircraft weapons at all.

Seeing with his own eyes that two planes were blown up and exploded in the air, Doihara knew that he had been fooled - this damned Ouyang Yun had already been equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons!And all he can use is the Jiuteng Squadron.

The plane wasn't working as expected, and all he could count on now was the cannon—
