"Shhh Keiichi Hojo gasped.

I saw that the left and right engines of the bomber were hit by German-made 88-mm anti-aircraft guns on the ground, and they caught fire one after another. The fire spread, and both engines completely stopped turning.

Without waiting for Hojo Keiichi to react, the old devil's Type 96 land bomber roared and fell to the ground quickly, startling Hojo Keiichi in the cockpit of the bomber and another little devil pilot on his right screamed again and again.

"Bagaya Road, pull it up! Come on! Hojo Keiichi was furious and shouted at the little devil pilot on the right.

It's just that the bomber has already hit two or so engines, one of which has already caught fire and burned, and soon stopped turning. Another engine was hit by fragments from shells fired by German 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, and although it did not catch fire, the engine suddenly stopped spinning.

At this time, when Hojo Keiichi was angry about to pull up the plane, the light and heavy machine-gun fire of the new regiment deployed on the Cuiping Peak and Tianfengling Mountains of Hengshan and the counterattack of the German-made 88-mm anti-aircraft gun had been going on. At this time, Hojo Keiichi's bomber had already fallen rapidly to the ground, and the altitude was already less than two thousand meters.

And this altitude has made the light and heavy machine gun fire on the ground enough to reach the old devil's own bomber.

All of a sudden, only Keiichi Hojo's bomber was left in tears by the cross-cutting anti-aircraft fire on the ground. Soon, under the frightened gaze of Hojo Keiichi, the bomber exploded at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters before it could fall to the ground, scattering the burning wreckage of the bomber to the ground.

Hao Shengjie, deputy captain of the artillery team in charge of the ground air defense command of the new regiment's base area, took a telescope to observe the sky and laughed from time to time.

"Boss, the little devil's bombers were all killed by our light and heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. It's just that one of the little devil's Zero fighters escaped, you see! At this time, a new regiment of artillery observers observing the Japanese aircraft group at high altitude pointed to Hao Shengjie and reported.

Hao Shengjie took the telescope to observe the high altitude, and sure enough, in the telescope, a Japanese Zero fighter plane with a disillusioned soul could no longer resist again to strafe the artillery positions and air defense positions of the new regiment on the top of Cuiping Peak and Tianfengling, but shook the wings of the plane in horror and quickly flew away in the same way as if it had come.

"Haha, run away! At this time, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult for our anti-aircraft guns to hit the Zero fighters at such a distance! Order the brothers, pay attention to concealment, and keep the combat posture of the next little devil group attack at any time! We can't be careless! Hao Shengjie instructed the artillery observer who reported the situation.

After all, the Japanese air force is absolutely superior to its own side, and once Yoshio Shinozuka learns that the losses of this air raid are so serious, it is difficult to guarantee that this old devil will not mobilize bombers and fighters to attack on a large scale again.

Therefore, it is inevitable to be more prepared for air defense counterattacks.

"Yes, Vice Captain!" The artillery observer nodded. sweet potato

Less than a minute after Hao Shengjie ate all the bombers and four Zero fighters in the Japanese aircraft group commanded by Keiichi Hojo, Yoshio Shinozuka, who was waiting for the bombing effect at any time, was at this time on the defensive position of the new regiment at the mouth of the valley of the Jinlong Gorge when he quickly received a hesitant report from the last Japanese fighter plane that survived.

"Nani? What did you say? The bombers were all blown up by ground anti-aircraft fire from a new regiment? They have anti-aircraft guns? Keiichi Hojo was also killed in battle? Yoshio Shinozuka received the information reported by the Zero fighter to the ground through the walkie-talkie, and was immediately shocked.

On the other end, the pilot of the Zero fighter said bitterly: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, there is a new regiment of anti-aircraft guns on the top of Cuiping Peak, although it seems that there is only one. But the rate of fire was extremely fast and the height of the shot was great. His Excellency Hojo Shosa ordered the bomber group to realize that something was wrong as soon as it was encountered, and ordered the bomber group to rise rapidly. But it was already too late, the artillery fire of the opponent's ground anti-aircraft guns was fast and accurate, and the artillery fire was strong. Many of the bombers were immediately hit by anti-aircraft artillery fire and were quickly hit and fell to the ground. Now, only one of my fighters was left and flew back to the west. ”。

"Bagaya Road, a bunch of rubbish! You drop, withdraw to Yangmingbao Airport. Tell the commander of the airfield garrison to be ready at any time and wait for my orders! ”

After Yoshio Shinozuka frowned, his face was already angry, but he still ordered to the Japanese fighter pilot on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander!!"

"Smack!" Yoshio Shinozuka threw the walkie-talkie in his hand to the table next to him, and there was a snap.

At this time, Major General Yusuke Dohi, the temporary chief of staff of the accompanying army, who was standing beside Yoshio Shinozuka, also heard Yoshio Shinozuka's words, and after hesitating for a while, he stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency the commander is angry, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers!" We only lost ten bombers and four Zero fighters. This is also due to the carelessness of Flight Commander Keiichi Hojo, Your Excellency Commander, now the most important thing for us is what to do next? ”。

"Tu Feijun, what do you mean?"

Yusuke Tsuchihi thought for a while and said, "Right now, the commander of the 20th Division, Ichiro Nanata, commands two wings that are attacking along the plank road with the squadron as a tactical offensive group. Although the defenders of the new regiment defending the plank road were not many, it seemed to be only a company of troops. But the opponent's firepower was strong, and snipers were sent to condescendingly snipe the soldiers behind our steel shields. Now, progress is slow, and the lowly suggestion is that it is better to attack in a roundabout way! Send a troop to find a mountain road that can go around Hutou Mountain! ”。

Yoshio Shinozuka did not respond immediately, and it was feasible to send troops to make a detour behind Hutou Mountain to carry out a surprise attack. It's just that from the map, there are cliffs behind Hutou Mountain, the road is rugged and difficult to walk, and there are not many paths that can go around Hutou Mountain. And for Yoshio Shinozuka, with the fact that the new regiment has been operating here for a long time, it is impossible for the other party not to place a guard unit in the rear.

Moreover, there is not much need for troops placed in the back mountain, only some are enough to serve as a warning and be conducive to the defenders of the new regiment of Hengshan base area to send reinforcements to the back mountain.

However, this suggestion of Yusuke Dohi was based on the premise that the two wings of the Ichiro Nanata's command post could not capture the plank road, and the current situation was that it was very difficult to capture the plank road. The plank road is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the plank road winds up, which is conducive to the defenders' condescending resistance.

As soon as he thought of this, Yoshio Shinozuka said to Yusuke Tohi in a condensed voice: "Tohi-kun, you personally transferred soldiers who are good at mountain walking and climbing operations from the 10th Wing of the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division and the troops directly under the First Army in Taiyuan City to form a temporary team. Make a detour here to attack the back of Hutou Mountain, and once you succeed, you can at least contain the remaining elite forces of the new Hengshan base area! ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander, and obey your orders." Yusuke Dohi paused his head, this is a way out of the way.
