Chapter 1159: The Disappearing Eighth Route Army (First Update!) )
Sir, the detour troops on the left flank were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, with a squad of troops and armed with a machine gun, and had been repulsed by the detour troops. On the Japanese position, the communications corps rushed over panting and reported.
"Let your captain leave these sneak attack troops alone, they must be the rear troops sent by the garrison to harass you, don't be afraid." Captain Ishida ordered with a calm face.
"The troops continue to outflank in a roundabout way, blocking the retreating troops of the garrison regiment at all costs and encircling them."
"Artillery, planes, keep attacking, hold them back, buy time for the roundabout troops, and we're going to win this battle."
As soon as the front foot of the signal soldier left, another signal soldier rushed over: "Sir, the roundabout troops on the right flank were intercepted by the Eighth Route Army, with two squads of troops and two light machine guns, and they have been repelled by the roundabout troops!" ”
"Let them continue to outflank them." Captain Ishida didn't talk nonsense and ordered very decisively.
The communications soldier did not stay for a second, and rushed to the battlefield after receiving the order.
Captain Ishida's face became more and more serious.
He had a feeling that his plan was about to be completed.
As long as the roundabout troops successfully penetrate into place, the retreating troops of the garrison regiment, which were being pressed by artillery fire and aircraft, would definitely not be able to escape, and finally be wiped out by themselves.
"Sir......" Another communications soldier rushed over, pulled him back to reality, and then reported with a solemn face.
"The detour troops on the left flank were attacked at the same time by two Eighth Route Army, each with a squad and a light machine gun......"
Captain Ishida furrowed his brows, but quickly restretched and decided to continue the operation according to the original plan.
looked at the communication soldier and replied very seriously: "I repeat it again, tell your squad leader, don't care about these sneak attacks, and the roundabout troops will be interspersed in place at all costs." ”
"We have finally dragged down the garrison regiment and created this interspersed opportunity, which must not be missed."
"Boom ......"
Before the communications corps could leave, two explosions suddenly came from the detour troops on the left flank.
"It's a trick mine, the Eighth Route Army wants to use a trick mine to block our roundabout troops." Captain Ishida immediately made a judgment and then continued to order.
"One more word for your squad leader."
"Let the Imperial Alliance Army go to the front of the team to open the way, and force the Eighth Route Army to give up the use of treacherous mines."
"Boom ......"
Two mortar shells suddenly smashed near Ishida and exploded, and three devils and two puppet soldiers were blown over along with the flying firelight, and their lives were uncertain.
The adjutant next to him was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack, protect the chief......"
"Boom ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, two shells smashed again.
This time the troops were prepared, and only one soldier was bombed.
"Sir, the enemy attacking us is five hundred meters on the left flank." The artillery staff officer immediately reported.
"Divide a mortar squad and fight back immediately and take them out." Captain Ishida ordered solemnly.
Then he continued to order: "Contact the planes in the sky, find the Eighth Route Army moving around us, and kill them with on-board machine guns and bombs." ”
"Boom ......"
The shelling continued, and the devil artillery, who received the order to counterattack, immediately divided three mortars, readjusted the firing angle, and prepared for a counterattack.
"Boom ......"
But before the mortar was loaded, an explosion sounded around them, and the two shells came from different directions.
This scene was seen squarely by Captain Ishida, the serious expression on his face was slowly replaced by solemnity, and a trace of bad premonition appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously ordered: "The artillery unit immediately shifts its position, and then counterattacks." ”
"Contact the plane in the sky and let him immediately launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army on the ground."
"The higher authorities sent it here to provide us with air support, not for decoration."
Pilots have their own difficulties, and the stance fighter flies close to the ground again and again.
But every time a fighter plane skimmed over the ground, there was no movement below.
Nothing but barren thatch and bushes could be seen.
The ammunition that the plane carries is limited, so it is impossible to drop a bomb on a piece of thatch, and waste ammunition in vain.
Finally, seven or eight Eighth Route Army troops who were firing artillery were targeted by him.
The pilot decided to seize this opportunity and immediately maneuvered the fighter plane to climb, circled the air and aimed at them, and then swooped down on them like a hungry wolf.
The fighter plane was getting closer and closer to the ground, and the ground, which was still blurry just a moment ago, slowly became clear.
But those Eighth Route Army disappeared, and there was no one around, as if they had just seen it wrong.
Losing the target of the attack, a question subconsciously popped up in the pilot's mind: whether to continue to drop bombs!
In the end, he chose to drop the bomb, even if the bomb did not kill a single Eighth Route Army.
The Imperial Army on the ground has repeatedly urged themselves to launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army, and if they do not make any more moves, they are likely to report to their superiors that they have inaction on the battlefield, and then they will be in big trouble.
"Boom ......"
The bomb exploded, and the flames were dozens of meters high, and the black smoke was wrapped in the flames, and it soared into the sky.
What the pilot didn't know was that the Eighth Route Army he was looking for was lying in the middle of a bush dozens of meters away from the bullet impact point, and everyone was wearing a camouflage net that had just been woven from thatch, as long as they didn't move, they would definitely blend in with the surrounding environment, and even if they stood more than ten meters away, they couldn't be found.
Of course, the bombs that fell from the sky were not without any results.
Three fighters dressed in camouflage nets hid exactly within the bomb's kill radius, killing two and wounding one.
However, compared with the results achieved by aerial bombs in previous battles, this casualty is definitely a drop in the bucket.
Seeing that the plane was quickly pulled up and flew back into the air, the eight fighters of the artillery squad immediately got out of the bushes, re-set up the artillery, and entered the combat state.
"Weng hum...... Dadada......"
With a loud roar, the fighter plane swooped down on the ground again.
When there were still a few hundred meters from the ground, three airborne machine guns fired at the same time, shooting a dense rain of bullets into the ground.
During the cruise half a minute ago, the pilot found that dozens of Eighth Route Army troops were active in this area, approaching the Imperial Army in a roundabout way in a straggler line.
He decided to attack on the spot.
Just like the attacking artillery just now, when he adjusted the angle of attack, rushed back to the ground, and prepared to attack, the target he had just discovered also disappeared.
The pilot couldn't figure out why, but he had already rushed to the attack position, and he had to fire the arrow, so he could only manipulate the airborne machine gun to hit the ground indiscriminately, hoping that the blind cat would kill the rat and kill a few Eighth Route Army.
There were indeed fighters on the ground who were hit by a dense barrage of aviation bullets, but only three of them.
If this style of play continued, the pilots used up all the ammunition brought by the fighters, and at most killed an infantry platoon of the garrison regiment.
