"This time, our opponents are strong."

Under the arrangement of Yoshio Shinozuka, before the attack of the three infantry wings and one artillery wing of the offensive force on the TY side, the four wing commanders met for an operational meeting.

The first to speak was the captain of the Yoshino Wing.

Because he was 'experienced', he was appointed by Yoshio Shinozuka as the commander of the front.

"Even if Li Yunlong uses more than 30,000 troops to attack Ping'an County, the troops left in HY County are still very strong, and our four wings may not have an advantage in terms of paper comparison."

Yoshino continued to demoralize his side.

The other three wing commanders, including the one from the Kwantung Army who had been beaten by the Soviets at Nomenkan, also nodded in agreement, without the slightest momentum of the Imperial Japanese Army.

It is not a fool to be able to become a big sa, and to become a powerful big sazuo who leads a team.

It has been more than four years since Li Yunlong became famous, starting from Sakata, in the past four years, the Imperial Wing who fell in the hands of this person, and the Wing Captain who died in the hands of this person does not know how many.

Under the all-round heavy pressure of the First Army, it has grown from a regiment all the way to tens of thousands of horses, hundreds of tanks, and hundreds of artillery pieces of more than 100 calibers.

If they are still stupid to think that this person can jump up to now is caused by the waste of other imperial officers, as long as they go by themselves and defeat Li Yunlong in minutes, then they are too stupid.

"So what are we going to do?"

Kasai, from the Kwantung Army, asked.

The battle experience of Nomenkan back then, although he had a small result because of his luck, the entire imperial army was defeated, and it is still fresh in his memory.

Under the offensive of tanks, artillery, and even aircraft in which the Soviet army had absolute superiority, not only could not be compared in quantity, but also inferior in quality, and the Imperial Army retreated one after another, suffering heavy casualties.

And according to paper intelligence, the independent regiment he will deal with next has reached the scale of the Soviet army in those years.

I can't help but he doesn't take it seriously.

Fortunately, the advantages of equipment also need people to play, and the Tuba Road in front of them was a group of peasants before, and there was definitely no elite of the Soviet army.

"Disperse the heavy artillery brigade into the infantry wings, and we will attack along the road in three ways to give full play to our superiority in strength."

Yoshino gritted his teeth and said his decision, and of course it was Yoshio Shinozuka's.

Now, their only advantage is strength.

Three wings, plus a heavy artillery wing, had about 15,000 troops.

According to intelligence analysis, Li Yunlong had about 50,000 people, of whom 10,000 remained in the base area, more than 30,000 of the Yamamoto troops attacked Ping'an County, and there were definitely no more than 10,000 people left in HY County.

"Hmm."

The other three Wing Captains nodded.

"Also."

Yoshino Dazuo paused and continued:

"This time the North China Front bombing opportunity is divided into two teams, one team to bomb the industrial area of HY County, and the other team to attack the artillery units of the Independent Regiment, and we can take advantage of this opportunity."

After discussing the tactics, the heavy artillery wing was dismantled, and a wing was added to become the heavy artillery brigade, and then the troops were divided into three ways and attacked HY County.

······

The other side.

Between the highways leading from Yuxian County to Ping'an County and Pan County, after a night of hurrying, the first battalion successfully arrived at Tieshi Ling, and the second battalion successfully arrived at Luojiaya, and easily eliminated only one squad of devil defenders in the two places.

Subsequently, Zhang Dabiao and Luo Er, the commander of the second battalion, regardless of the fatigue of the troops, immediately organized manpower to build fortifications, build positions, and prepare to deal with them. In order to speed things up, I also went into battle myself.

Both men knew that the battle would be tough.

It was the hardest battle of the year.

The fighters also knew it, so no one rested, all went into battle and dug their positions with all their might.

An hour later, the soldier in charge of the guard's reconnaissance came with the news that the devil was coming.

"A brigade of devils, about a thousand people, pounced along the road and is expected to arrive in half an hour."

"Send a telegram to the flight team."

Zhang Dabiao, the first battalion of Tieshiling, and Luo Er, the second battalion commander of Luo Jiaya, issued the same order at the same time.

This time, the troops were supported by air.

"Prepare for battle."

After that, the two battalion commanders immediately arranged their troops, divided part of them to prepare to block the devils of this brigade, and the rest continued to build fortifications and bunkers.

At the same time.

HY County Airport.

Just received the news from the front, Huang Quan, who couldn't wait for a long time, hurriedly asked:

"What is the size of the enemy, and what is the equipment?"

The independent regiment had an ample arsenal of all kinds of explosives, including standard aerial bombs, incendiary bombs, napalm, anti-infantry bombs, etc., and he needed to formulate ammunition mounts according to the size and number of enemies and equipment.

"The devils in the two positions, each with a team of 1,000 people, are lightly armed, without tanks and armored vehicles."

The intelligence staff officer replied quickly.

"Hangar Three."

Huang Quan quickly ordered.

In order to hurry up and support the front line in time, he prepared three crews, all of which were loaded with explosives, some with incendiary bombs, some with ordinary bombs, and some with anti-infantry bombs. The fuel is also loaded and ready to take off.

Then six attack aircraft pilots rushed to the corresponding hangar, three minutes later.

Six attack planes loaded with three tons of ammunition took off and flew to the positions of the 1st and 2nd battalions, which were just over 100 kilometers from the airfield in a straight line.

The speed of the fully loaded attack aircraft was only more than 200 kilometers per hour, but it only took half an hour to reach the front-line position, and at this time, the devil brigade arrived at the predetermined attack position.

"Report to Dazuo."

"Ready for the attack."

At Tieshi Ridge, two kilometers in front of the position of the first battalion, a thousand-man brigade of devils has been assembled, the two mountain guns carried have also been arranged, and two infantry squadrons ready to attack have begun to prepare.

"Yo Si."

The Devil Captain nodded:

"Let's attack."

There is a thousand-strong brigade under his command, and he must be a senior captain in Ping'an County, and he naturally knows that the enemy in front of him is an independent regiment with fierce firepower.

But the captain also knows it.

This time, the group in front of them was alone, and there was no logistical supply convoy, so they could only rely on the ammunition they carried, and they did not need to face the dense artillery shells on the opposite side and almost did not have to think about the supply.

Without that desperately terrifying firepower, the captain was confident.

It took less than an hour for this group of Tubalu to arrive, and in such a short time, it was impossible to build a strong fortification, and even the basic ring fortifications had not been dug out, even if they could block the attack of one of his brigades, it would inevitably consume huge sums and cause considerable losses.

And six more brigades will arrive.

"Fuck."

In the distance, on the Tieshiling position, looking at the hundreds of devils gradually approaching in front of him, Zhang Dabiao scolded and scolded.

In the past, this kind of devil team of several hundred people could easily fight back by relying on a few consecutive shots from the battalion's artillery.

But not this time.

In addition to the necessary supplies of heavy equipment, including five large-caliber heavy machine guns, each with 5,000 rounds of ammunition, six 82 mortars, two 120 mortars, some medicines, etc. This time the battalion carried only 18 tons of shells, which translates to only three bases per gun.

The number of shells was seriously insufficient.

So you can't let go of your hands and feet to fight like before, you can only wait for the devil to get close before fighting.

As for air supplies, the terrain here is complicated, the surrounding area is mountainous, the airdrop is very difficult, it is dangerous for the pilot, and it is easy to waste, and he will not apply for airdrop supplies unless it is absolutely necessary.

At this moment, the roar of airplanes was heard in the sky.

"The plane is coming!"

Zhang Dabiao looked up happily and saw three planes flying from the direction of HY County.

"Inform the enemy's position and fire flares to indicate the location."

Zhang Dabiao quickly ordered.

On the ground, the radio of the first battalion operated the fighters to communicate with the fighters in the air, and at the same time, several signal flares flew towards the devil formation.

After receiving the news from the ground and distinguishing the position of the enemy and us, Huang Quan personally led the team to start diving:

"The third machine is circling to support, and the second machine is attacking with me."

"Yaga."

Seeing the plane, Zhang Dabiao was very happy, but the devil was not happy, and the captain immediately scolded.

However, in the face of the enemy planes that began to dive at a low angle, he could only order the attacking troops to conceal, but he was relieved to see the attack planes flying almost in parallel.

Such parallel bombing, the accuracy is not very high, and the troops should not lose too much.

As soon as the thought came to him, he saw that the three planes began to drop bombs at an altitude of 400 meters, and one bomb after another fell like eggs, and in the midst of a sharp sound, the bombs exploded in the air before they hit the ground.

The location is about ten meters from the ground.

Accompanied by the smoke of the explosion, the captain of the devil brigade found that the screams of the imperial soldiers hidden on the ground were one after another, and a series of stirred dust appeared on the ground, as well as a large area of blood.

"Nani..."

This scene suddenly made his eyes widen.

"This bomb is really enjoyable."

Looking at the miserable situation of the devils on the ground, Huang Quan roared loudly to vent the excitement in his heart.

Timed fuses, steel ball anti-infantry bombs, ranging from 50 kg to 250 kg, are dropped at an altitude of 400 meters, and each bomb has at least two kg of steel ball fragments, which is extremely lethal to infantry.

An attack aircraft can carry at least fifteen bombs, and this time he brought five hundred-kilogram, five hundred-hundred-kilogram, and five two-hundred-and-fifty-kilogram.

It can be called a floor scrubbing.

"No. 1, No. 2 aircraft return, No. 3 plane continues to circle."

After throwing three tons of explosives, Huang Quan shook his wings and licked a few times on the devil's position with a 30mm cannon before flying back.

At this time, the devil brigade on the ground was already miserable, because they were not familiar with this attack mode, the two squadrons attacking suffered heavy losses, with more than one-third casualties, and even a few steel ball bombs were thrown on the artillery positions behind, directly losing their offensive capability.

The captain of the devil brigade had to order the troops to stop the offensive.

In the distance, Zhang Dabiao was stunned when he saw this scene.

He knew that it was exciting to have plane support, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

"Labor and management haven't shot yet, and the devil is gone?!"

He immediately cursed.

At the same time, Luo Jiaya's side was in the same situation, in the face of air support, the devils who were caught off guard were also directly bombed back.
