Chapter 343 Colonel Fujita
All are equal under the 150mm howitzer.
The same is true under the iron hoof of the Tiger tank.
Of the 1300 Japanese soldiers and 4000 puppet troops on Da'an Mountain and Xiao'an Mountain, less than one-fifth had emerged from the ground.
And they were all horrific to look at, some with bleeding ears, some crying while holding their broken limbs.
But before they could pray to God to save their lives, they saw dense tanks and armored vehicles appearing behind the dispersing yellow smoke, driving towards them like bulldozers.
"003, there is a Japanese foxhole on your left, destroy it!"
"003 understand!"
The high-explosive shells had been loaded into the gun barrel, and then the gunner took aim and fired. The 80mm tank gun allowed the three Japanese soldiers in the foxhole to leave this world painlessly!
The armored vehicle following the tank covered its ears and roared angrily.
"Do we really need to use tank guns on these few Japanese? Isn't it a waste of resources to use a cannon to kill rats?"
"Captain, now the aviation troops are eating the first course, the artillery troops are eating the second course, and the tank troops are eating the third course. Now it's our turn as armored infantrymen, and all that's left is soup!"
"Stop complaining and keep an eye on it. Don't let those Japanese who are afraid of losing their lives throw a grenade in!"
"Hehe, I was afraid they wouldn't come! Let them go and never come back!"
The unfortunate soldier had just put his face behind the vehicle-mounted machine gun when the helmet on his head made a clanging sound.
The soldier was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and touched his helmet.
"Hey? Why isn't there a hole?"
The company commander kicked him angrily and raised the MP40 submachine gun in his hand.
"I beat him! What did you just say about a meat bun beating a dog? Who is the dog?"
The soldier who had been hit on the head was full of inspiration, and he came up with one idiom after another, just like he was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.
"Hehehe, wrong, wrong, it's the old man who eats arsenic because he thinks his life is too long!"
The company commander rolled his eyes at him, then raised his submachine gun and fired at a Japanese soldier who was holding a Molotov cocktail in one hand.
"There are really some people who are not afraid of death!"
Ding Wei, who was charging with the tank regiment, saw the scattered fortifications of the Japanese on the slope, as if there were human figures moving around.
"Be careful! Anti-tank guns! Tank regiment, fire at the remaining Japanese fortifications. Leave the scattered Japanese to the armored vehicles behind! Charge at full speed!"
The tanks spread out into a long line of two or three kilometers long, with all of them raising their elevation angles.
90 Tiger tanks and Type tanks continuously fired at the remaining fortifications of the Japanese. Those who were lucky could directly penetrate the fortifications through the shooting holes and directly blow the Japanese tanks into the sky.
With the protection of the tank regiment, the armored infantry behind can focus on dealing with the scattered Japanese soldiers.
The two MF34 general-purpose machine guns mounted on the front and rear of the armored vehicle made sounds of tearing rags from time to time, ruthlessly tearing apart the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, making them experience the pleasure of being executed.
Wang Meng at the Western Front Command was making the next battle deployment, but immediately received information from Fang Fang.
Eighty Japanese planes have taken off from Shijiazhuang and are preparing to attack Taiyuan.
In order to avoid trouble, the Japanese planes prepared to bypass Yangquan from the north and attack the independent armored cluster exposed on Da'an Mountain and Xiao'an Mountain from the north.
Wang Meng immediately opened the map and took a look at the location of Shijiazhuang Airport, which was 150 kilometers away from Taiyuan in a straight line.
Pingshun Airport is 180 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang.
Moreover, the Japanese planes had already taken off. Even if they flew around from the north, they would arrive about ten to twenty minutes earlier than the aviation division's planes.
And these ten to twenty minutes were enough for the Japanese to drop bombs on the First Armored Division!
"All the anti-aircraft guns of the artillery division and the anti-aircraft guns of the armored divisions are deployed to create a firepower network for the Japanese!"
After Wang Meng gave the order through the walkie-talkie, he immediately ordered the two flight squadrons at Pingshun Airport to take off and intercept, and the remaining two flight squadrons were ready to take off at any time (there was another flight squadron at Qingyang Airport).
On one side of the hilltop of Pingshun Airport, a pair of cunning eyes watched all sixty planes take off, then quietly retreated to the foot of the mountain.
"Yoshi, the sixty planes of the Independent Column have already taken off, and according to intelligence, their so-called Flying Tigers have also moved away! Order all the planes in Xinxiang and Zhengxian to take off and avenge our previous humiliation!"
Okamura Neiji showed a ferocious smile. As long as Pingshun Airport was destroyed, the aviation division of the independent column would be taken over.
Their army aviation can "lay eggs" on the heads of independent columns at will!
At Zhengxian Airport, 150 kilometers away from Pingshun, 60 fighter jets and 30 light and heavy attack aircraft took off and flew towards Pingshun Airport.
At Xinxiang Airport, 50 kilometers away from Pingshun, fighter jets took off one after another and flew northward with their fangs bared.
With a cruising speed of 300 kilometers per hour, it is expected to arrive at Pingshun Airport in less than half an hour.
The Japanese pilot who led the mission this time was Lieutenant Colonel Fujita who escaped last time.
After escaping, the Japanese soldier Fujita returned to the main island of Japan and reported the air battle situation to the Army General Staff Headquarters truthfully.
The fanatical young men at the Army General Staff locked Fujita up and beat him up:
Damn it, not only did we lose the battle, but we also boosted the enemy's morale and destroyed our own prestige.
Fujita was also full of grievances, but he was like a mute eating bitter herbs and couldn't express his pain in words.
The Japanese pilots who had witnessed the powerful Independent Column Aviation Division with him were having a party with Amaterasu. How could they prove that he was not lying?
Unless it was a dream!
However, after being beaten for several months, Fujita was finally "vindicated". However, it was not the Japanese devils who came to him in his dreams, but Hans, who was far away in Germany, who saved his life.
After Hans was traded back to Germany, he reported to the little mustache what he saw and heard in the independent column.
The man with a mustache was naturally shocked and prepared to take certain measures, but he was currently busy beating up Europe and the United States and had no time to spare, so he could only hand over the report to Japan.
Fujita was punished for several months, but it was not in vain. He was directly promoted to Colonel Fujita and returned to the battlefield in China to avenge his previous humiliation.
"Warriors of the Empire, the Chinese Air Force we are facing this time is definitely not at the same level as the Shuangliu Air Battle and the Bishan Air Battle. Next, we must strengthen our vigilance and never take it lightly. We must crush them with our absolute advantage!"
According to Okamura Yasuji's estimate, there are now less than 30 fighter jets left at Pingshun Airport.
And their 110 fighter planes, with a number ratio of nearly 4 to 1, were enough to tear the independent column's aviation division into pieces.
The Independent Column Aviation Division also encountered its most difficult time. In previous air battles, the number of Japanese planes was basically one to one, but this time, judging from the scattered spots on the radar, the number of Japanese planes was at least twice as many as theirs.
Lu Tianlong is facing unprecedented challenges.
