"Airplane!"

"Hidden!"

"The fire companies of each battalion are assembled, and the air defense is ready!"

Seeing the two Japanese planes attacking at high speed in the distance, Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

With his order, the soldiers of the independent regiment reacted instantly, and the more than 1,000 people who had originally gathered together suddenly dispersed, and quickly looked for rock walls, hillsides, bomb craters and other locations in squads, and crawled to hide.

Needless to say, the veterans' expressions were calm and comfortable during the dodge and running positions, and the recruits did not panic much, and they found cover in an orderly manner, and under the command and coordination of each squad leader, they all found shelter, and there was no situation where several soldiers fought for concealment positions.

Regarding the concealment of the devil plane after it came, they had practiced this set of actions nearly 100 times.

Very cooked.

At the same time, the five Bren types with anti-aircraft tripods of the fire companies of each battalion quickly set up high tripods in the corners, and the machine gunners set up the machine guns and pulled the trigger in the direction of the devil's plane.

Dadada····

In the midst of a series of shots, a net made of bullets was laid in front of the dive path of the devil plane.

The skillful and smooth covert movements of the 1,500 men of the regiment and the smooth and silky anti-aircraft counterattacks of the three fire companies are the significance of the training.

Without a month-and-a-half-long recruit training and up to 100 simulations for the fighters to master this evasion process, the chaos would have been inevitable in the face of aircraft dives, loud noises and machine-gun fire, and it would definitely not have been as methodical as it is today.

It's a pity,

The power of the Mauser 7.92 mm bullet fired by the Bren type was seriously insufficient for air defense, but fortunately, the Devil's plane was also notoriously thin-skinned, and in the face of the firepower network compiled by fifteen machine guns, the two Devil planes had to increase their flight altitude.

Dadada·····

Machine guns on both wings of the plane burst into flames, and the bullets splattered four half-meter-high lines of dirt and gravel on the ground.

Among the four bullet marks, three newly recruited soldiers who were not in a good position were hit, and the 7.7 mm bullets used by the devil plane were far more powerful than the 6.5 mm Arisaka rifle bullets used by the 38 big cover, and the rate of fire of the machine guns equipped with the aircraft was also far higher than that of ordinary machine guns such as crooked handles.

In this round of strafing, there were three casualties.

There's no way around it.

Even if the soldiers of the independent regiment dodged, even if there was a fire shield formed by fifteen machine guns, they were still at an absolute disadvantage, and unless there was perfect cover, it was difficult to completely avoid casualties.

Fortunately, the timely concealment reduced the casualties, otherwise there would be more casualties among the fighters at this wavelength strafing of the devil.

"Hygienist!"

Seeing that the fighters of his squad were hit, the veteran squad leader hurriedly ran to the side of the soldiers, pressed the wound fiercely with his hand, and with his shout, a hygienist with a medicine box on his back ran to the wounded soldier and tied his shoulders with gauze to stop the bleeding.

"Dog's day little devil!"

After letting go, the squad leader scolded the devil plane behind him.

"New magazine!"

"Prepare to fire!"

The assembled firepower company of fifteen machine guns was hidden next to the mountain wall, and Li Yunlong squinted his eyes at the devil plane hovering in the distance, his eyes were calm, and he was not affected in the slightest.

Under his order, each of the fifteen Bren was replaced with a new fully loaded magazine, and the shooters aimed at the two hovering devil planes through the circle sights, their fingers on the triggers, holding their breath.

Beside them, there were dozens of Czech or Bren guns on the shoulders of the warriors, with the muzzles pointed at the devils.

A round of strafing fire obviously could not satisfy the devils, and after circling one left and one right, the two planes dived again towards the independent regiment, and the four machine guns on both flanks pulled out a series of bullets.

"Fire!"

At the same time, Li Yunlong also roared angrily.

Suddenly, dozens of Bren and Czechs weaved a denser web of bullets against the two dive devil planes.

In this round of strafing, the devil was forced by the power of the machine gun position, so he had to increase the altitude, and strafed at an altitude of nearly 300 meters and 100 meters, plus the soldiers were better concealed than before, and only one soldier was hit in the thigh when he could not dodge in time.

However, it is a pity that due to the poor organization of firepower, as well as the difficulty of anti-aircraft shooting and the insufficient power of bullets, the improvised air defense positions on the ground did not achieve any results.

The two sides came with a wave of frontal guns, and the devil planes had a slight advantage, but the advantage was very small.

"The fire company continued to suppress the devil's plane, and the rest of the fighters hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield and retreated after ten minutes!"

With the suppression of the fire company, the two Type 97 fighters equipped with only four 7.7 mm machine guns obviously did not pose much threat to the independent regiment, and Li Yunlong immediately ordered the soldiers to quickly pack up the battlefield and prepare to retreat.

The business has been completed, none of the 500 devils and puppet troops have been killed, and 500 barrels of canned pig's head have been obtained.

It's time to slip away.

Otherwise, the devil cavalry will come to support, and the independent regiment will have to explain here.

He didn't want to have a field battle with the devil cavalry in this wilderness.

"The devil's guns and ammunition are all picked up, and food and supplies are also brought, and other things are not needed."

"Be careful not to carry too much weight!"

With a big blade in his hand, Zhang Dabiao scolded and commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Although the six large trucks carrying materials were all blown up by the artillery company, there were still a lot of good things left on the battlefield, and the devils of the Kwantung Army deserved the title of the flower of the imperial army.

The soldiers were delighted to pick it up.

As for the puppet army of the iron and stone system, needless to say, these guys are full of belongings for money and enjoyment, with 20 oceans per capita, and there are a lot of good things.

A group of new and old soldiers ran around the battlefield with stumps and broken arms all over the place·····

After dodging the shells and shots of the devils, witnessing the most brutal bayonet battles, and enduring the strafing of aircraft, even the previously nervous recruits can calmly walk through the battlefield where the corpses are flying, without paying any attention to the broken and mutilated corpses.

That's what real combat is.

The best actual combat for the growth of recruits.

"Hurry up!"

"Pick something good and take it!"

Zhang Dabiao, who was quick-eyed, took off the watch on the wrist of a devil and yelled in a loud voice.

In fact, without his urging, the fighters were more energetic than the previous battles.

Suddenly, Zhang Dabiao saw that a soldier not only stripped off the clothes of a second devil who had been beaten into a sieve, but also put a bayonet on the mouth of this second devil, and immediately scolded:

"What about you?"

"Forget about the intact, the coats of these two devils have been drilled by machine guns with more than a dozen holes, and they are covered in blood, do you want to? Not too dirty? And you, are you planning to cut off someone's tongue? ”

was robbed of several heads by monks before, Zhang Dabiao was in a very unhappy mood now, and when he saw this warrior's stupid move, he scolded directly.

The soldier was not afraid, and continued to pry his mouth with a bayonet with a grin:

"Battalion commander, this dog's second devil is rich! I found thirty pieces of ocean in him, two small gold bars, and several gold teeth in his mouth! ”

"Gold Teeth?"

Zhang Dabiao was overjoyed: "Don't miss a single one, you know?" ”

Gold is a good thing.

"Yes!"

The bayonet poked and found that it could not be pried, and the warrior, who was obviously a novice, smashed the butt of the gun directly, and then happily took out three gold teeth.

The devil planes circled back and forth, but they never dared to dive and strafe, after all, the dozens of machine guns on the two wings were not a small threat, and if they lowered their altitude, they were afraid that they would be hit. The devil naturally knows very well about the virtue of his own plane, and the previous rounds of strafing have proved that high-altitude strafing has no effect, and he can only be anxious in the sky.

In the midst of the buzzing and circling sound, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment moved swiftly to collect the corpses of the fallen soldiers and collect the captured weapons and ammunition.

"Withdraw!"

Ten minutes had passed, and Li Yunlong immediately retreated with the whole regiment of soldiers, without nostalgia for the supplies that had not yet been packed up.

Besides, all the good things have been looted by the soldiers, and all that is left is garbage!

The ravines and ravines of the Jindi Mountains concealed the whereabouts of the Independent Regiment, and the two Type 97 fighters of the devil could only watch the independent regiment disappear into the mountains and valleys.

More than an hour after the independent regiment left, the cavalry wing in Taiyuan was late, and looking at the corpses all over the ground, the wing commander was so angry that he dismounted and slashed with his knife.

"Yaga!"

At the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka, who received the news, was speechless in shock at first, and then lifted the documents that flew all over the table, drew his katana and slashed the table into pieces.

He was furious that there were troops within fifty kilometers of his Taiyuan who openly ambushed a first-class Kwantung Army squadron during the day.

Moreover, they were all wiped out!

This is simply a great disgrace to the First Army.

"Check it out!"

"When Yamamoto Osa comes back, let him take charge of this matter!"

The red-eyed Yoshio Shinozuka called in the intelligence service and ordered them to find out who the attackers were, and then cut off the head of the person to restore the honor of the First Army.

"General, what about finding Li Yunlong's independent regiment?"

The staff officer of the Intelligence Section whispered.

The previous order was to let the Intelligence Section and Yamamoto Daisa give priority to finding the location of Li Yunlong's independent regiment, and all other matters were postponed.

"Find this enemy attacking the Kwantung Army squadron first, and delay the rest later."

Yoshio Shinozuka squinted his eyes and spoke in a cold tone.

A squadron of the Kwantung Army was completely annihilated near his Taiyuan, and he was helpless against the ambush troops, which was obviously much worse than the defeat of the Sakata Wing, the killing of Sakata Daisa, and the attack on Shuangfeng Town.

If this matter is not handled well, it will definitely affect the following meeting of the North China Front.

"Hey!"

The staff officer bowed his head and retreated.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the map of the surrounding area of Taiyuan hanging on the wall and fell into deep thought.

According to the news transmitted by the pilots, judging from the military uniform, the attacking force was the Eighth Route Army, which numbered about 1,500 people, had a large number of machine guns, and was even equipped with special anti-aircraft machine gun mounts.

According to the cavalry wing's on-the-spot survey of the battlefield, the attacking troops were very powerful and equipped with a large number of mortars, which was more powerful than the light artillery fire of a brigade of the imperial army. The gang used all German ammunition, and there was plenty of ammunition, leaving a large number of fresh shell craters and fresh shell casings at the scene.

German firepower, with a large number of machine guns, even anti-aircraft machine guns, and mortar fire more powerful than the Imperial Army...

Is this really the Eighth Route Army?

Also, where did this so-called regiment of the Eighth Route Army come from? Where did you get such accurate information?

A series of doubts surfaced in Yoshio Shinozuka's mind.

After dealing with the Eighth Route Army for so long, Yoshio Shinozuka naturally knows what equipment the Eighth Route Army is.

There are no more than a dozen bullets per capita, even the main regiment can't make a gun per person, and most of them are still old goods, and the main force of firearms is even made in Hanyang in the last century, and many rifled guns have been sharpened into smoothbore guns. Suddenly a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, armed with a large number of mortars and dozens of machine guns, suddenly popped out, so that he could not believe it anyway.

In the past three years, he has seen the Eighth Route Army with strong combat effectiveness, such as the regiment led by Li Yunlong, but he has never seen the Eighth Route Army with good weapons and equipment and sufficient ammunition.

Moreover, although the news of the Kwantung Army squadron's trip to Taiyuan was not kept secret, no one knew about it, and the time and route of departure were random, freely selected by the Kwantung Army squadron leader, but judging from the traces at the scene, this unknown regiment of the Eighth Route Army was obviously prepared and purposefully ambushed the Xiaoshi squadron. Well, such precise intelligence that they got there?

A series of doubts made Yoshio Shinozuka's brows almost stir together.

"Yaga!"

In the end, he couldn't think of a clue, so he could only scold hatefully.

······

"Our regiment has captured a lot in this operation!"

Independent regiment, Zhao Gang smiled:

"270 Type 38 rifles and bayonets, five machine guns, more than 10,000 rounds of Arisaka rifle rounds, 200 grenades, two grenadiers, and 53 grenade grenades."

"And five devil sabers, five king-eight box pistols, and some bullets."

Zhao Gang put the Wang Ba box behind the devil saber and reported it.

This kind of pistol with short range, firepower, weak power, and easy to break down is now no one can look down on it in the independent regiment, and there are more than 200 shell guns in the regiment, and the quality is good, why do you need this kind of garbage gun? Bullets are also particularly difficult to replenish.

"In addition, we have seized a great deal of property, more than 3,000 pieces of ocean, more than 7,000 yen, twenty-five small gold bars, and some odd gold nuggets totaling more than two kilograms, seven watches, and some silverware. Didn't weigh it out."

Speaking of this, Zhao Gang suddenly scolded and expressed his inner feelings:

"What a fortune these dogs have."

The devil puppet army that is usually seen rarely carries property with them, but this time the devil puppet army marched long distances and looted a lot of property along the way, coupled with the greedy nature of the two devils, the property was carried with them, which was able to seize so much property.

This wealth is really a lot, especially the two kilograms of gold.

"How many casualties?"

With forty tons of weapons and ammunition in hand and five hundred barrels of canned meat in hand, Li Yunlong had no interest in these yellow and white things, nor was he interested in the weapons and ammunition of devils.

"The casualties are acceptable!"

Zhao Gang continued: "One hundred and seven soldiers were killed and fifty-two wounded, of which nineteen were seriously wounded. ”

After a pause, Zhao Gang sighed with emotion: "The devil of the Kwantung Army is indeed powerful!" ”

"Hmmm! These devils are tenacious! ”

Li Yunlong rarely did not scold and despise the devil, but said in a solemn tone:

"These devils react quickly, have accurate marksmanship, and have a tenacious will to fight, especially their grenadier soldiers, half of the casualties of our regiment are caused by devil grenadiers, if it weren't for the first wave of stunned counter-charge of the little devils, I'm afraid our casualties would be more than half!"

"But..."

Li Yunlong's tone suddenly improved: "After this battle, the combat effectiveness of our regiment will be qualitatively improved!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Gang nodded: "Actual combat is the best training!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Gang changed the topic:

"Are we going to hand over all these weapons, ammunition and property to our superiors?"
