I am a wolf warrior

"Cannon Carrier C, adjust the firing angle again."

"Prepare to meet the devil's reconnaissance plane!"

Not surprisingly, the devil's reconnaissance plane should be approaching the sky above Yangquan.

Reconnaissance planes generally don't carry aerial bombs, but with machine guns, according to the usual arrogance of Devil pilots, they will definitely launch a dive and straf the armored train.

So, if you prepare in advance,

Maybe there is still a chance to beat up a plane, and then earn it.

The order was issued, and the four main guns of the armored train quickly adjusted their firing angles.

Two 2mm caliber cannons aimed at the railway crossing and Yangquan North Gate Tower respectively and fired continuously, preparing to open the attack channel for the main force of the independent regiment.

Two 2mm caliber anti-aircraft guns raised the firing angle and pointed obliquely at the sky.

"Boom boom boom!" Amidst the continuous explosion, the two 2mm caliber cannons of the gun carriage A and B smashed rows of shells towards the north gate tower and the railway crossing of Yangquan County.

In the blink of an eye, the north gate tower collapsed with a bang.

Without exception, all the devils and puppet soldiers guarding the tower were buried alive.

The circular barricades on both sides of the railway crossing in the northeast corner and the heavy machine gun nests welded with steel plates were also destroyed, and the devils and puppet troops guarding the barricades and heavy machine gun nests also suffered heavy casualties.

Flesh and blood can't stop the steel rain of shells.

It is not for nothing that artillery is called the god of land warfare.

Seeing the two 2mm cannons killing all directions there, the two 105mm anti-aircraft guns of Cannon Carriage C were so excited that they asked Wang Ye several times to lower the firing angle and join the attack on the fortifications of the city wall.

But without exception, they were all severely rejected by Wang Ye.

Just when the artillerymen at the anti-aircraft artillery position were extremely disappointed, the roar of an aircraft engine suddenly sounded in the sky.

Wang Chengzhu, who was scolding his mother, looked up anxiously, and saw two Nakajima reconnaissance fighter jets with plaster patterns painted on their wings had emerged from the thin clouds in the northwest direction.

Chapter 121

Those were two Nakajima Type [-] reconnaissance fighter jets.

The Nakajima Type [-] fighter is the main aircraft of the Japanese Army Aviation.

After observing for a while in the sky, one of them swooped down towards the armored train.

"Come on, damn it!" Wang Chengzhu grinned grinningly, shaking the handle quickly.

With Wang Chengzhu's movement, the muzzle of the 75mm caliber anti-aircraft gun began to adjust at multiple angles.

The aiming mechanism of the anti-aircraft gun is still very sensitive, and the steering is very flexible. Wang Chengzhu quickly locked the diving fighter through the optical sight, and then stepped on his right foot twice.

"Tom tom!" Two shells soared into the sky in an instant.

However, the fighter jet that swooped down was just a light barrel roll, and easily dodged.

"Damn it!" Wang Chengzhu cursed, quickly turned the handle, adjusted the shooting angle and stepped on his right foot twice.

"Tom tom!" Two more shells went into the sky, but it was still useless. The Devil fighter made another spiral while diving, and then dodged again with loose.

The literacy of Devil pilots is not generally high.

After three years of tempering, Devil pilots have reached the peak state in terms of psychological quality and technical quality. At least in the past few years, they can be called the best air force in the world!

In a blink of an eye, the Devil fighter had already entered the range of the machine gun.

The next moment, the two 7.7mm heavy machine guns installed under the nose opened fire violently.

The tactical literacy of the devil pilots is really high, not only the flying skills are excellent, but the hit rate of the machine gun is also high.

"Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!" The turret armor and shield steel plates of the gun carriage C heard continuous impact sounds, and a series of sparks splashed everywhere.

Thanks to armor protection.

Otherwise, Wang Chengzhu would have been reimbursed just this once.

After a few seconds, the Devil fighter dived to a low point and pulled up, and flew over the head of the armored train with a whoosh. Then, the second Nakajima [-]-type fighter dived down again.

Wang Chengzhu took a deep breath, and turned the handle again to lock on to the Devil fighter that swooped down.

But this time, Wang Chengzhu didn't rush to fire anymore. Although it was only one round just now, he still keenly captured an opportunity that could be used.

Devil pilots are highly accomplished, and can perform various difficult technical maneuvers while diving at high speed. At this time, it is almost impossible to hit them, which is purely a waste of shells.

The only chance is at the moment when the Devil Fighter cuts in from a dive and pulls up!

At this time, the Devil fighter has the worst maneuverability due to the huge overload. If you fire at this time, it is almost impossible for the Devil fighter to dodge!

The Devil fighter quickly dived within a range of 1000 meters.

Immediately afterwards, the two heavy machine guns under the nose opened fire violently.

Wang Chengzhu still didn't rush to fire, and let the turret and shield be hit with sparks.

Seven or eight seconds later, the second Devil fighter dived to a low point, and then quickly turned to pull up.

Almost at the moment when the Devil Fighter dived and pulled up, Wang Chengzhu stepped on his right foot three times in succession.

"Tom tom tom!" Three muffled gunshots were almost superimposed into one sound, and three high-explosive grenades roared into the air at an interval of less than 0.4 seconds, turning into three streamers and shooting at the Devil fighter who had just cut into the lift.

Wang Chengzhu left a little too much margin, and the first two shells fell through.

But fortunately, the third shell hit the Devil fighter accurately!

Wang Chengzhu really caught the only flaw in the Devil fighter, and it was a fatal blow!

"Boom!" The thin-skinned Nakajima Type [-] fighter jet exploded in the air instantly.

"Hit!" The gunners, observers, and bomb feeders of the two gun positions cheered at the same time.

Wang Chengzhu also waved his fist vigorously, and then turned the handle to adjust the shooting angle again, preparing to kill another fighter in the same way.

However, to Wang Chengzhu's disappointment,

The Devil fighter turned around and flew away.

"Damn it." Wang Chengzhu immediately cursed out of anger.

"Run away? Gou Ri's little devil is too useless."

As soon as the voice fell, a communication soldier ran over and reported: "Company commander, command the command vehicle, lower the angle of fire, and cooperate with artillery carriage A and artillery carriage B to tear through the defense line of the Yangquan railway crossing and the north gate city wall!"

The devil's reconnaissance plane has been run away, and the bomber will not arrive so soon,

So Wang Ye adjusted the order again, and asked Pao C to join the artillery support.

"I see!" Wang Chengzhu responded, and quickly moved the transfer handle again, lowering the shooting angle of the 75mm caliber anti-aircraft gun to a flat shot, and then aiming at the watchtower at the railway crossing with one shot.

……

Maeda Hideo and Kimura Yonggang came down from the watchtower.

"Boom..." A loud noise suddenly sounded from behind.

Looking back hurriedly, he saw that the watchtower that was standing just now had collapsed.

With the collapse of the watchtower, a large amount of smoke and dust filled the air, spraying two old devils all over their heads and faces.

"Bah bah!" Maeda Hideki spit out the smoke that was choking his nose and nose, and then ordered Kimura Yudao, "Mr. Kimura, call the headquarters of the 1st Army, and ask the air force to dispatch bombers to destroy the hijacked armored train."

Maeda Hideo was still very clear-headed, knowing that if the armored train could not be destroyed, Yangquan County would be captured by the Eighth Route Army sooner or later, and their 4th Brigade might really be doomed.

Since the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, although the Japanese army has suffered occasional defeats in the Chinese battlefield, there has never been a record of annihilation of troops above the regiment by the formation system. Maeda Hideo does not want to be a precedent!

Although there are actually only two brigades in Yangquan City at this time, the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Army don't care about this. They only think that the 4th Brigade is stationed in Yangquan, which is equivalent to the entire 4th Brigade being here. The 4th Brigade was annihilated by the Eighth Route Army, which is equivalent to the entire 4th Brigade being annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.

Maeda Hideo doesn't want to become a disgrace in the army because of this precedent!

As soon as the words fell, a loud bugle sound suddenly sounded outside the city.

The sound of the bugle was followed by the shouts of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Maeda Hideo suddenly turned his head, looked out from the railway crossing over the smoke and dust,

I saw that the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who had been waiting outside the north gate for a long time jumped up from the trench scrambling to launch a tidal charge with bayonet-mounted rifles.

The puppet soldiers guarding the crossing fired a few symbolic shots, and then fled in all directions.

Isamu Kimura and Sosuke Kitahara rushed forward to pick up Hide Maeda and ran back.

"Brigade Commander, it's too dangerous here, let's go back to the headquarters!"

Maeda Hideo was not pretentious, and hurriedly followed the two towards the headquarters.

But on the way to escape in a hurry, Maeda Hideo didn't forget to look back.

I saw that the hijacked armored train also restarted, slowly approaching the railway crossing.

Maeda Hideo's heart sank quickly. Obviously, the Eighth Route Army planned to use the powerful artillery fire of this armored train to tear a hole from the railway crossing to cover the infantry entering the city.

If this is the case, the 4th Brigade is absolutely unstoppable.

It seems that we can only fight in the street!

……

In Taiyuan, the 1st Army Command.

Yoshio Shinozuka's mood has relaxed a lot.

Because at about five o'clock in the morning, the communication with the strongholds along Tongpu Road and the Baijin Line gradually recovered, and the initiative on the battlefield gradually returned to the hands of their 1st Army.

Although the communication of the strongholds along Zhengtai Road has not been restored,

But Yoshio Shinozuka was not too worried, because the Zhengtai Railway has always been the defense center of the 1st Army. Tongpu Road and Baijin Line have no problems, let alone Zhengtai Road.

The only thing Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't figure out was, what happened to the 11th Armored Train?

Why can't I get in touch after finishing the last routine communication around midnight?

It stands to reason that no matter whether it is attacked or derailed, the communication will not be interrupted.

Unless the 11th armored train team was attacked by chemical weapons, all members were killed instantly.

But such a possibility does not exist at all, because the Eighth Route Army does not and will not use chemical weapons.

So as soon as the sky was bright, Shinozuka Yoshio ordered the First Flight Brigade stationed at Taiyuan Wusu Airport to send two reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance and search eastward along Zhengtai Road.

But even so, Shinozuka Yoshio still asked the Communication Section to call the 10th Armored Train Team every 11 minutes, because the reconnaissance aircraft of the Aviation Corps did not have an on-board radio, even if the armored train of the 11th Armored Train Team was discovered, it would not be possible. It cannot be reported to the headquarters immediately, but needs to be flown back to Taiyuan Wusu Airport first.

After hastily eating breakfast, Yoshio Shinozuka returned to the war room immediately.

"Tanaka-kun." Yoshio Shinozuka asked Chief of Staff Tanaka Takayoshi, "Have you still not been in touch?"

Although Yoshio Shinozuka asked endlessly, Takashi Tanaka knew that he was asking about the 11th Armored Train Squadron.

At that moment, Takashi Tanaka shook his head and replied: "Not yet. Until just now, the communication department has called more than 30 times, and the 11th armored train team has never responded."

"Damn it!" Yoshio Shinozuka frowned.

At this time, Takuya Mizuhara, the head of the communications section, came in and reported, "Your Excellency, Commander, a telegram from the 4th Brigade."

Yoshio Shinozuka was immediately refreshed when he heard the words, and asked anxiously, "Is it news about the 11th armored train convoy?"

"No." Mizuhara Takuya shook his head and said, "The 4th Brigade called and said that a large number of Eighth Route Army troops appeared outside Yangquan County, at least [-] in number."

"Nani?"

Shinozuka Yoshio was taken aback when he heard that.

This situation was somewhat unexpected by the old devil.

Ryuichi Sakamoto, the head of the combat section, was also puzzled, and said, "It's strange. The Eighth Route Army almost never engages in direct combat with the imperial army, and it is even rarer to attack counties or strategic points heavily fortified by the imperial army. But this time, it is uncharacteristically daring to take the initiative. Attack heavily fortified county towns?"

"And, the military strength is only 5000?"

"Want to encircle and wipe out two thousand imperial troops with five thousand and eight routes?"

"This is not like the usual style of the Eighth Route Army."

"When did the Eighth Route Army become so daring in its use of troops?"

Takashi Sakamoto's words were unintentional, but Yoshio Shinozuka's expression changed after hearing this.

"Not good! The 4th Brigade is in danger!" Shinozuka Yoshio said anxiously, "Mizuhara-kun, reply to the 4th Brigade immediately, and tell them not to go out of the city to fight back, just keep the county seat!"

"Nani? The 4th Brigade is in danger?"
