Chapter 265: Laiyuan Battle 6
To animals, there is no difference between humans and animals.
The biggest hobby of the Japanese brigade commander Shibuya Takashi is to torture and kill Chinese girls, especially when he is at his most crazy.
A group of Japanese soldiers, led by an interpreter, knocked on the doors of two civilians.
While the two middle-aged couples were almost begging, the Japanese soldiers took their daughter away without mercy.
The consequences are self-evident; their daughter never returned home.
Laiyuan,
With Ji Guangshun's third regiment entering the city, the situation was completely reversed.
The Japanese were watching outside the city, and the battalions under Gu Changfeng were preparing to defend the city in an orderly manner.
"The Japanese planes are coming,"
Chen Zhengrong was always worried about the Japanese planes, and he was the first to discover them.
Gu Changfeng heard the shouting, looked up, and shouted loudly: "Everyone take cover immediately."
The new recruits were a little panicked when they heard the order, but under the leadership of the platoon leader and company commander, they gradually became orderly.
Although the Sixth and Seventh Battalions are composed of new recruits, the company and platoon-level officers are all drawn from the old battalions so that there will be someone to take the lead at critical moments.
The two regiments of the Eighth Route Army reacted quickly and ran into the city. They had to disperse to various blocks first to avoid being wiped out by the group.
Soon, the Japanese planes arrived over Laiyuan.
A full squadron, 24 aircraft.
The Japanese squadron leader looked at the crowd below with disdain and directly gave the order to drop aerial bombs.
Boom boom boom......
A large number of aerial bombs fell, and the 47th Company at the South Gate was the first to suffer. Fortunately, Luo Xiong and Li Jie were experienced.
As early as when the city walls were occupied, soldiers were ordered to repair the fortifications, while others were guarding the streets.
Then, as soon as the Japanese planes arrived, the soldiers on the city wall hid in the anti-artillery holes.
The Japanese aircraft squadron bombed the south of the city and then flew to the east. The dense crowd made the Japanese squadron leader very excited.
Chen Zhengrong had long been worried about the Japanese planes, so the soldiers of the first regiment evacuated first, but the soldiers of the third regiment were too late.
The more than 2000 people who had just entered the city had no time to evacuate and could only run as far as possible to the houses and blocks inside.
The Japanese planes came too fast, and the aerial bombs exploded one after another, so the losses of the Third Regiment were inevitable.
"Yoshi, notify the ground that we are going to bomb the city walls and let them prepare for the attack." The Japanese squadron leader said with satisfaction.
"Hi!" A Japanese communications soldier nearby responded respectfully.
outside the city,
Major General Kurokawa stared at the explosion scenes flashing through the telescope, and a smile finally appeared on his face again.
"Yoshi, the Empire's air force is the most outstanding warrior. Do these Chinese think that just occupying the city will be enough?"
"They don't realize that the consequences of angering the Empire of Japan are very serious."
The arrival of the flying squadron gave Major General Kurokawa great confidence.
The ammunition stored in more than 20 planes is enough to blow down the eastern city wall. They just need to wait and attack the city directly.
With Heichuan's confidence, it would only take one morning to capture Laiyuan.
Gu Changfeng looked at the soldiers who were constantly being blown away and shouted to the machine gunners: "Get ready, shoot as soon as the devils come."
When the machine gunners heard the order, they gripped their machine guns even tighter.
A row of machine guns on the city wall were pointed at the sky at the Japanese soldiers. The altitude of more than 1500 meters made the Japanese soldiers feel fearless.
The Japanese could not imagine that there was something on the ground that could threaten them in the plane.
"What? Are these Chinese crazy?"
The Japanese squadron leader, who had just arrived above the East Gate city wall, looked at the row of anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground in confusion.
Da da da………
A unique sound suddenly appeared on the city wall, and dense bullets were fired at the Japanese planes in the sky.
"Baga, it's an anti-aircraft machine gun, quickly raise the altitude." The Japanese squadron leader suddenly understood after a moment of confusion.
However, his words were a little late. The more than 20 planes were not far away, and the Japanese observer did not have time to remind him.
Several Japanese planes were hit instantly, and the frightened Japanese pilots quickly increased their altitude.
In fact, it is still very difficult to take it down. Gu Changfeng did not have any hope for it. His purpose was just to drive away the Japanese.
The machine gun fire continued, and at a distance of more than 2000 meters, the Japanese had no way of escaping.
Of course, the Japanese squadron leader was not stupid. He chose to pull up while continuing to fly forward, thus avoiding the shooting.
"Damn it, my fuel tank was hit," a Japanese pilot shouted angrily.
"Baga, Hosoya-kun, what's wrong with you?" The Japanese observer on the plane shouted in horror.
The Japanese pilot named Hosoya did not respond, still with his head down, but blood was slowly flowing from his body.
The plane lost control and crashed into the distant mountains and forests. Soon, a violent explosion resounded throughout the mountains and forests.
The unfortunate Lieutenant Hosoya never imagined that he would be hit by a bullet while performing such a simple mission and die in his beloved plane.
The Japanese squadron leader was stunned for a moment, then immediately contacted the Taiyuan City Command. He was still relatively sober.
However, some devils were not so clear-headed, and their anger made them lose their minds.
The Japanese soldiers on three Type 95 fighter planes first unleashed all their aerial bombs on the east city wall from high altitude.
Then it turned the fuselage and charged towards the city wall, targeting the anti-aircraft machine gun position.
Da da da!
The two sides fired bullets at each other, and anti-aircraft machine gunners were hit and fell to the ground from time to time.
The Type 95 fighter is still relatively fast, but with the deputy taking over and the heavy machine gun coming out from behind to provide support.
No matter how good the Japanese pilots on the three planes were, they could not withstand such a dense bullet blockade and had to return to the arms of Aunt Amaterasu with regret.
The Japanese squadron leader who received the order finally dropped all the aerial bombs at high altitude and returned with the remaining 20 fighter planes.
So many things happened in twenty minutes that Major General Kurokawa's already dark face became even darker.
He was about to order a charge, but he didn't expect this to happen. This made him not know whether to attack or retreat.
The same is true for the Japanese military police outside the West City.
Both sides began to contact divisions and brigades to request the next combat plan.
The Japanese stopped their attacks, but Gu Changfeng had to start cleaning up the mess, starting with the dead and wounded soldiers on both sides.
The Japanese bombing caused heavy losses to the Eighth Route Army and Gu Changfeng.
However, Gu Changfeng had no way to stop this situation and could only wait for the next time to replace some anti-aircraft guns. After all, the role of machine guns was limited.
He didn't expect that the Japanese would attack so crazily, otherwise it would be quite difficult to shoot down four Japanese fighter planes.
"Captain Gu, a regiment of the Japanese is heading towards Gaojia Town and has been spotted by our soldiers on the periphery."
Before Chen Zhengrong had time to clean up the mess, he received this news.
Gu Changfeng heard this and nodded, saying, "As expected, it seems the Japs' support this time is more than that."
Chen Zhengrong was stunned, looked at Gu Changfeng and asked, "Have you prepared for this?"
Gu Changfeng laughed and said, "We have been on guard against the Japs for a long time. Even though they knew of my presence, the Japs brigade in Lingqiu City didn't support me and didn't even make a move. This is not their style."
"But most of your troops have been mobilized, so there shouldn't be many people stationed there, right?" Chen Zhengrong asked doubtfully.
Gu Changfeng said truthfully: "The militia company still has two to three thousand people, and there is also a battalion stationed there. Together with the special forces, it is almost a dream for the Japanese to enter Gaojia Town in a short time."
With special forces harassing along the way, it would be difficult for the Japanese to enter Gaojia Town within a day or two, especially now that they have learned of their attack.
Chen Zhengrong pondered for a moment and said, "No wonder you're so confident. This is the root of it."
A cold light flashed in Gu Changfeng's eyes, and he said nothing more.
After cleaning up the city, if the Japanese outside the city have not evacuated, he will have to take action. A Japanese regiment dares to be arrogant in front of him!
