Chapter 975 Our Bombers Are Here
From the current combat situation, it can be seen that the Japanese's primary attack target was indeed fixed on the narrow and gentle Pa'an River section.
In addition, since the defense line of this river was the Sichuan Army, which was always regarded as a local miscellaneous army by the Japanese and the weak brigade, the Japanese naturally spent a lot of money and acted as if they were bound to win.
At the beginning, the Japanese not only used a large number of aircraft and heavy artillery to carry out high-intensity bombardment of the 22nd Army's positions along the river, but then launched a crossing of the river at the same time in the section of the river that stretched several kilometers wide. The first wave of attacking troops roughly estimated that it was definitely no less than an infantry regiment!
In addition, on both sides of the 22nd Army, which was focusing on attacking, the Japanese also gathered heavy troops to restrain them, preventing the 5th Army and the Hu Ben Army from both sides from going to support the Sichuan Army.
But it is obvious that the Japanese made the wrong plan. The 22nd Army had already turned into motorcycles, and its weapons and equipment had long been replaced with the most advanced American equipment, including German heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft cannons and other heavy firepower.
Although the range of light weapons is not enough, heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns are not a problem at all. The shells are constantly exploding among the Japanese, harvesting Japanese heads every moment.
Not long after the war started, I saw that the other side of the river was blown up and the thick smoke filled the air, and vaguely corpses flew everywhere, as if they had turned into hell on earth.
As the Japanese troops began to cross the river, the shells began to extend backwards.
Bang bang bang bang bang, waves soaring into the sky rose on the surface of the river. The Japanese rafts and wooden boats were either blown into pieces and torn into pieces, or they were flying up and down in the stormy waves and trembling.
Although the infantry of the two armies had not officially exchanged fire, the 22nd Army, which had powerful artillery, had already taken a chance to set aside, causing great casualties to the Japanese crossing the river troops.
"Did you think these dogs are our Sichuan Army the same one? Can you easily eat us with your plane, tanks and cannons?"
However, seeing that the Japanese really concentrated all their firepower on him, Li Jiayu was not surprised but happy. He clenched his fists and shouted heavily: "Brothers, beat me hard and kill all these dog gods! Let these dogs know that our Sichuan Army is not easy to mess with!"
Chief of Staff Zhu Yingshen nodded in a scrupley and said, "Brother Qiang is right. Our 22nd Army is now strong and has a strong army. Its weapons and equipment are no worse than those of the Japanese!"
"It's so satisfying, it's a good kill! It's completely a dream to break through these dogs!"
Chen Dingxun was excited to see it, and then gave a big thumbs up and said: "It's really thirty years since Hedong and thirty years after Hexi. I never dreamed that our 22nd Army would have today, and could beat the Japanese Arc Division so well that it was so dignified!"
Li Jiayu smiled boldly and said, "Haha, this is wherever he goes. Today, the Japanese will not give up on the attack if they don't touch each other! Old Chen and Old Zhu, the good show is still coming!"
"Well, today our Sichuan Army must be proud!"
"As long as you can kill the Japanese devils quickly, what's wrong with sacrificing your own power!"
Chen Dingxun and Zhu Ying smiled at each other. Although as senior generals of the Sichuan Army, they are usually not the turn to fight for bayonets on the fire, they will never be vague if they really arrive at that time!
Buzzing, at this moment, a motor buzzing sound came from the sky behind.
Li Jiayu hurriedly walked out of the bunker and looked in the sound. He was immediately happy and pointed with his hand and said, "Great, our bomber group has finally come to join the war. As long as we can get rid of the Japanese artillery on the other side, we can rest assured!"
Since the defense line along the river is too long, even if Yang Fan opened the snare, it would not be possible to build a "Magino Line of Defense" with steel and concrete buildings in a short period of time. Therefore, most river sections can only be open-air trench fortifications for defense.
The Japanese concentrated a large number of heavy artillery troops to shell the positions of the 22nd Army, which put a lot of pressure on the front defense of the 22nd Army.
Now the Japanese are far apart, and the range of light weapons is not enough. They can also hide in anti-cannon holes to avoid artillery attacks. However, once the Japanese enter the effective range, they must fight against artillery fire.
Moreover, the Japanese's cruel nature is obvious to all. Li Jiayu has no doubt at all. Once the war is not going well, the Japanese will be so anxious that they will even kill their own people!
Therefore, before this, the heavy artillery troops that can fight the dumb Japanese can achieve twice the result.
"Brothers, please pay attention to everyone!"
After Qiao Yong, the commander of the 3rd Bomber Flight Regiment, led his team to the Pa'anjiang section defense line, he shouted to the communication channel: "I emphasize again, the primary target of attack is the Japanese artillery position. If you have time to bomb the Japanese crossing forces again!"
At this time, the fighter group of the Hu Ben Army was fighting on a large scale in the air with the Japanese fighter group. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Liguo sent a bombing fleet to support the 22nd Army.
"receive!"
"clear!"
The bomber pilots all shouted in excitement, like a group of sharks that smelled bloody, pounced on the Japanese artillery positions across the river.
"I can finally work happily!"
Deng Ling drove a dive bomber and rushed to the front, heading straight to the mountains where black smoke was constantly rising.
"Bagaya Road! The Chinese bomber is here! Anti-aircraft guns, fire the gun quickly!"
"Shoot! Hurry!"
Knowing that the Tiger Army's air force is very powerful, the Japanese Army will naturally not run naked, and it is also equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns in the army.
When the Flying Tigers bombers flew from a distance, the Japanese air defense forces hidden in the mountains and ground began to aim and shoot in panic.
"Dog god, I won't be able to take my life!"
As soon as he flew to the east bank of the Salwen River, a series of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets roared. Deng Ling continued to dive forward without fear, and by the way, he did not indulge the Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun on the ground. He suddenly pressed the fire control switch to strafuse.
Dada, four heavy machine guns spewed out flames at the same time, and then they saw a series of bullet lines extending rapidly forward on the ground.
"Ah! Bagaya Road!"
The Japanese anti-aircraft machine gunner had already felt that death was approaching quickly, but his cruel nature did not let him throw his gun down and escape. Instead, he continued to shoot wildly at Deng Ling with a ferocious face.
This Japanese soldier actually thought of fighting with Deng Lingyu to die together.
"Damn it, you want to die with me. You're really thinking too much!"
Seeing through the Japanese's attempt, Deng Ling was not panicked at all and continued to dive forward and shoot!
