Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 289 Return without success

"Baga, the Chinese have anti-aircraft guns!"

"Baga, the squadron leader died!"

Two screams came from the Japanese fighter plane, and the faces of the Japanese who escaped the disaster were full of fear.

They were located relatively close to the edge and were not affected.

As soon as I found something wrong, I quickly pulled up and escaped, so I am still alive.

The artillery battalion's mission also lies here. They have to shoot down some of the Japanese fighter planes in the first round and scare away the Japanese on the remaining planes.

Bang bang bang!

The anti-aircraft gunners reloaded their ammunition and continued to fire at the Japanese fighter planes in the sky. After another Japanese fighter plane was hit, the Japanese pilots panicked and fled to a farther airspace.

A fireworks show completely stunned the Japanese soldiers outside the city. They couldn't understand why anti-aircraft guns suddenly appeared in the city.

The Japanese in the fighter plane couldn't figure out why anti-aircraft guns appeared today when everything was fine yesterday.

The question is, you have anti-aircraft guns, why didn't you use them yesterday?

Although we didn’t achieve the expected results yesterday, at least we returned home safely!

This thought occurred to the Japanese pilots at the same time.

Their arrogance still harmed them. If they had not been so inexperienced and had chosen low-altitude bombing, perhaps their losses would not have been too great.

But now, there is no one who can increase the altitude and fly out of this airspace at the same time.

There were only 14 planes on both sides, and the rest either had their pilots killed and their planes blown up directly, or had their planes hit by shrapnel and had to parachute out.

But the parachuting Japanese soldiers were not so lucky. The soldiers on the city wall would not be polite to them, and the heavy machine guns sent them back home without mercy.

Major General Kurokawa was panicked. Their air force pilots were trained at great cost. They were the elite among the elites, and it was a shame to lose so many of them at once.

Combined with the loss of the fighter plane, this attack undoubtedly resulted in heavy losses.

He couldn't explain to the division commander, and likewise, the division commander couldn't explain to his superiors.

It's very simple. Although the Japanese have hundreds of fighter planes in Jin-Cha-Ji, they have to face different regions.

They will also feel uncomfortable after losing so much.

The cost of regrouping them at the base camp would be more than just transportation.

Nearly half of the fighter planes were destroyed. Major General Kurokawa did not dare to conceal it and immediately ordered the communications soldiers to report to the division commander.

"Nani?"

"Where did the Chinese get their anti-aircraft guns? And they ambushed our squadron?"

Sangmu Chongming's first reaction was disbelief, but after reacting, he felt that it was impossible and there was no need for Heichuan to lie to him about such a thing.

"Baga, why did this happen? Ten fighter planes were destroyed, Iida Jiro is such an idiot."

Kuwagi Chongming was in disbelief at first, and then he angrily cursed the team leader Iida Jiro.

After cursing for a while, Sangmu Chongming was also tired.

In fact, he himself did not expect that the Laiyuan Independent Regiment would hide a batch of anti-aircraft guns and only use them now.

Boom boom boom!

Just as Sang Mu Chongming was cursing, the artillery battalion attacked again, this time aiming at the artillery position of the Kurokawa Brigade.

Major General Kurokawa was not as cautious as Mizukawa. His twenty or so guns were almost all in the same place.

Before the flying squadron arrived, he did order the artillery positions to change positions.

But then the artillery cooperated with the flying squadron to bomb the city wall, and the flying squadron's fighter planes were destroyed. These two events happened too quickly, causing the artillery regiment to fail to react, and Lu Daya seized the opportunity and destroyed them in one fell swoop.

Major General Kurokawa felt numb as he watched the violent explosion a few kilometers behind him.

The news was reported to Sangmu Chongming again. Sangmu Chongming's face turned red visibly, and he angrily greeted all the women in the Heichuan family again.

The battle could not continue, because he had no way to send reinforcements.

Three regiments of the Eighth Route Army were causing trouble around them, obviously trying to tie down their troops in Shijiazhuang.

As long as he dares to support, the Eighth Route Army will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city.

The whole situation is at a stalemate.

Sangmu Chongming thought for a while and finally decided to ask the commander for the next plan. He didn't know what to do.

The ground force itself had tens of thousands of people, plus artillery regiments and cavalry regiments, but they were unable to defeat the Laiyuan Independent Regiment. This made him very annoyed.

But there was no point in being angry, he could only choose to temporarily cease fire and order the squadron to return.

Since the Laiyuan Independent Regiment has anti-aircraft guns, their flying squadron will undoubtedly increase casualties if they go over there.

Unless he adopts a life-threatening fighting style, he can only temporarily avoid the attack. Sang Mu Chongming is very clear about this.

Gu Changfeng was extremely happy in the temporary command center.

"Haha, finally I don't have to be afraid of those little devils anymore."

This time, when the anti-aircraft artillery was deployed, ten Japanese planes were destroyed without much cost.

This result made Gu Changfeng very happy.

The Japanese planes shot down one less one after another. When this group of old Japanese soldiers were all killed, the Japanese base camp could only continue to train new recruits. If this cycle repeated several times, the Japanese base camp would not be able to bear it anymore.

Gu Changfeng has plenty of time to play with the devils slowly. With the system, when he has enough points, it will only be a matter of time before he kills these devils.

Moreover, he had anti-aircraft guns on his side, so the Japanese had an opponent.

If the Japanese commanders want to use planes against him again, they have to consider whether it is worth it.

In the northwest, Zhang Caiqian was once again shocked by Gu Changfeng's generosity.

Holding a telescope in his hand, he looked at the direction where the Japanese plane fell for a long time without saying a word.

"Commander, this..." The battalion commander was speechless.

They didn't expect that the Laiyuan Independent Regiment not only prepared heavy artillery, but also anti-aircraft guns, which are powerful weapons.

"Where on earth did they get so many heavy weapons?" Zhao Caiqian, who was awakened by a battalion commander, muttered to himself.

He finally understood why Gu Changfeng asked him to participate in the final attack.

It's simply that people don't need them at all in the early stages.

The headquarters said that the 129th Division should cooperate with the Laiyuan Independent Regiment. This is not cooperation at all, they are just here to distribute equipment!

What is their role?

Come to see a show?

Zhang Caiqian thought to himself, a bitter smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Captain, the Japanese are in danger this time. There was a violent explosion in the west city just now. Judging from the location, it should be the Japanese artillery position."

The battalion commander who had regained consciousness was full of excitement. It was not their bad luck that the Japanese were in trouble, so they should be happy.

Zhang Caiqian nodded and said, "To the west are the Japanese from Shijiazhuang. Their artillery positions have been destroyed, so they probably can't fight any further."

A battalion commander agreed and said, "Indeed, there is always a danger from heavy artillery overhead, and many Japanese planes have been shot down. I also feel that they are about to evacuate."

"The Japanese are used to coordinated infantry and artillery, coupled with air force bombing. Now that they have lost their support, they will be in trouble and will definitely choose to evacuate."

Zhang Caiqian's eyes lit up when he said this, and he ordered, "Let everyone prepare to attack. With Captain Gu's style, it's unlikely that the Japanese will escape."

"So, I guess the general attack is coming soon."

"Yes, Captain, I'll go right away." A battalion commander shouted excitedly.

This time, apart from transporting supplies, they also watched the show, which made them very bored.

Now that he has the opportunity to give the enemy a beating, he doesn't want to let it go.
