"Brother Ligong, let the brothers continue to retreat to the rear. Don't be stupid and stalemate with the Japanese. We must make use of our firepower advantage. College students have set up the stage and let us perform. We must perform today's show well, otherwise I, Chu Yunfei, will really be unable to raise my head and will have no words to see the people of Jiangdong again!" Chu Yunfei put down the telescope in his hand and spoke in a serious tone.
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong did not dare to delay and immediately ordered the troops to slowly retreat, always keeping a distance of about 200 meters from the Japanese, so as to ensure their own safety to the greatest extent.
When Jun'ichi Aoki saw that the distance between the enemy and his own troops had been maintained at about 200 meters, his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He really didn't expect Chu Yunfei to be so cunning and not give his men any chance to get close.
Seeing the attacking Japanese soldiers falling down like wheat being cut, Jun'ichi Aoki was in great torment. He could only hope that the air force could turn the situation around. However, when he saw Lin Zhenhua dispatch two anti-aircraft battalions to protect the troops on the ground, he broke through the defense.
"Baga Yalu! Damn enemy, they didn't even give us a chance. Order the death squad to attack immediately. We must repel this round of enemy attacks at all costs."
Under Jun'ichi Aoki's crazy counterattack, Chu Yunfei's first round of attack was successfully blocked. But the results were not impressive at all. The casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops reached nearly 2000, while Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment only suffered one company. The casualties of the enemy and us were shocking.
It must be said that the ferocious three-axe attack did catch the Japanese and the puppet army off guard, making the Japanese's sudden attack ineffective, and the defensive positions of the Japanese and the puppet army were turned into a scorched earth.
However, the Japanese were not to be trifled with. Even under such fierce firepower, the two armored battalions that went into battle were still in great danger. A total of two tanks and three armored vehicles were destroyed. This showed to what extent the Japanese were desperate for their lives.
"College student, you still have to continue to send ground attack aircraft to suppress the enemy's positions. Relying solely on our ground firepower, which has a huge blind spot, cannot pose an effective threat to the enemy at all."
"Only through coordinated air-ground operations can we truly deter the Japanese with firepower and allow them to enjoy firepower attacks from all angles. Unless they are made of steel, facing such a fierce attack, no matter how tenacious their will is, they will not be able to hold out for long and will be defeated. I am very confident about this!" Chu Yunfei pointed to the location of the Japanese position and spoke with confidence.
Lin Zhenhua put down the telescope in his hand. He knew that the Japanese's cat-ear holes were very useful in anti-artillery and anti-aircraft defense. Although the bombing was very intense before, it actually did not cause much damage to the Japanese. The casualties of the Japanese and the puppet army were only a few thousand people.
"Captain Chu, the Japanese are very cunning. According to the intelligence we received earlier, there are more than 2000 Japanese in the outer positions. We have only eliminated more than of them so far. The Japanese still have more reserves that have not been used."
"I have ordered the Air Force Regiment to increase the intensity of the bombing of the Japanese. They should launch a second round of bombing on these three places to kill the Japanese reserve troops in advance. Today's bombing will last from day to night. I have prepared thousands of tons of bombs for the Japanese. I want to see how long they can hold out."
In order to speed up the battle, Lin Zhenhua ordered the use of barrel bombs to increase the killing of the Japanese and puppet troops. Zhao Gang did not dare to neglect the order and quickly took out the 200 tons of barrel bombs prepared in advance, loaded them onto the bomber, and started the second round of bombing on the Japanese positions.
The rumbling sound of explosions rang out one after another, and the dust in the sky was flying all over the sky, directly blocking people's vision. Many of the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were in the explosion were directly blown into the sky. The burning gasoline ignited the nearby trees and grass, and the fire burned the Japanese and puppet soldiers.
The puppet army, which had suffered repeated heavy bombings, could no longer hold on and suffered a large-scale rout. In the end, only one regiment of a division of puppet troops was left, with a total number of less than 2000 people.
In order to stop the puppet army from escaping, the Japanese used all the means they could, but it was useless. In addition, they were in the center of the explosion, so they suffered heavy casualties. Later, according to statistics, more than 1600 Japanese and more than 3200 puppet soldiers died in the second and third rounds of bombing. The two rounds of bombing directly killed nearly % of the Japanese troops.
The bombing lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon before it was briefly over. The pilots were very tired from the high-intensity bombing operations and needed a short rest.
"Captain Chu, we have now carried out four rounds of bombing and achieved very good results. The enemy's position is a sea of fire. According to my estimate, the casualties of the enemy and the puppet army should be around 7000. After two more rounds of bombing, we will launch another attack. If we can take it down, we will take it down. If we can't take it down, we will postpone it until tomorrow. There is no need to be too anxious."
"The fake plague must have spread throughout Taiyuan City, but the Japanese are not making any moves now. This is totally abnormal. We need to give the Japanese a false impression that we are not in a hurry. Only in this way will the Japanese get anxious and angry."
As they were talking, Sanwazi rushed over and reported excitedly, "College student, I just received a call from the regiment commander. The vanguard of the independent regiment has taken Hill 302. It is expected that by around : today, they should be able to take down the enemy's outer positions."
"The commander requested that we increase the air support for the independent regiment and have the bomber units on standby at home go and bomb the defenders of Niangzi Pass to reduce the offensive pressure of the independent regiment."
Lin Zhenhua took the telegram and read it carefully, then looked at the map of Niangzi Pass, and replied with a serious face: "Sanwazi, send a telegram to Deputy Regiment Commander Liu Haishan immediately, ordering the Fifth Bomber Squadron and the Sixth Bomber Squadron to help the Independent Regiment capture Niangzi Pass, and at the same time dispatch two ground attack squadrons to suppress the firepower of the Niangzi Pass defenders."
"In order to ensure the independent regiment's firepower suppression of the Niangzi Pass defenders, we will airlift a batch of rockets over. Even if we can't blow up the Japanese, we will at least shock them to death. In any case, we must take Niangzi Pass before the 14th!"
