Started as a security team, developed into a heavy armored synthesis division

"Telegraph this letter immediately to His Royal Highness."

After writing the letter, Shiro Inaba handed it to the communications officer.

"Hey!"

The communications officer left, and Shiro Inaba's heart became heavy.

He suddenly had a premonition that Tiger Mountain would be a thorn in the side of the Imperial Army.

“Tiger Mountain, Tiger Mountain.

Xiao Dingfang, you are not a fierce tiger entrenched in Tiger Mountain, are you? "

After expressing his feelings, Shiro Inaba continued to deal with things. As for today's daytime battle, it was basically over.

He would not launch another large-scale attack until Xiao Dingfang's field artillery was destroyed.

Back to the Hefei Command Center, after Prince Higashikuni Toshihiko received the telegram from Inaba Shiro, he also realized that things had gotten serious.

Not only did they lose 5 planes today, but the target of the bombing was a false target, and Xiao Dingfang's field artillery group was still there.

"Eight roadblocks! Isn't Hasegawa a dead pilot?

What on earth does he do for a living? Go, drag him out and make him commit suicide by cutting his stomach!"

Higashikuni was still thinking about punishing the captain of the flight squadron, but the communications officer next to him told him:

"Your Highness, Major Hasegawa's plane has crashed. He should have died."

Well, he was so angry that he lost his mind.

However, Xiao Dingfang's field artillery had to continue bombing, and the Anhe Highway must be taken.

Because of the Huayuankou dike burst, their heavy equipment stranded in the northern plains has basically arrived in Hefei, and it is time for his Highness the Prince's Second Army to get out of the cave.

If he didn't leave the cave, the credit would be snatched away by Ningji Okamura of the 11th Army.

"Okay then, I'll let him go.

But the squadron's mission still needs to continue. We will continue bombing Xiao Dingfang tomorrow. Do you understand?"

"Hey!"

Shiniu Mountain.

The third battalion commander, Lao Ma, was a little indignant when he saw that the Japanese devils didn't move.

"Damn it, these little devils fight whenever they want and leave whenever they want, just like this is their home."

Hearing this, the company commander smiled and said, "Battalion Commander, isn't this great?

We are guarding Shiniushan Mountain and have the advantage of terrain. These Japanese devils are here to serve us a purpose.

I roughly calculated that we fought for a whole afternoon and killed at least 2000 Japanese devils.

Battalion Commander, these are 2000 Japanese soldiers, two Japanese battalions."

The captain of the first company was very happy, but Lao Ma was not happy:

"Le, what are you happy about? Did you eat bee poop?

Remember, this is our Long Country. The Japanese are invading our territory, and we should chase them and fight them!

Instead of waiting for the devils to attack us like we are doing now!"

Lao Ma is being serious, but the company commander is still optimistic:

"Captain, I know, but aren't our equipment inferior to that of the Japs?

They have both planes and cannons. When we have planes and cannons, we will chase the Japanese all over the mountains!"

"That's better than the other way around. When the time comes, I'll let you, the captain of the first company, chase the Japanese directly to their island and let them run wild!"

"hey-hey……"

Lao Ma obviously had a good relationship with the company commander. After chatting for a while, the sky gradually darkened.

The casualties of the Third Battalion were: 108 killed, 13 seriously injured, 91 slightly injured, and a total of 212 casualties, accounting for one-sixth of the total number of the Third Battalion.

Of course, whether they were killed in action or injured and left the front line, they were all transported to Tiger Mountain by trucks in a timely manner.

As for the Japanese, the casualties were definitely over 2000 people, so today's battle ended up being 1 to 10.

There is no doubt that this defensive battle was fought very beautifully, and the fortifications of Shiniushan played a significant role.

The eastern entrance of Zhangjiawadi, Hongmiaomen, and the temporary command post of the Third Regiment.

Xiao Dingfang was looking at the map and thinking.

“Although the Japanese used airplanes, they did not use the artillery regiment’s artillery and tanks, only the regiment’s 75mm field guns.

The Japanese didn't use their full strength today, so we can't retreat from Shiniu Mountain yet."

The previous plan was that the Third Battalion would fight fiercely at Shiniushan until 8 o'clock this evening, and then retreat under the cover of darkness.

Then, step by step, he ordered the Japanese to lure them towards Zhangjiawadi.

But if we retreat like this today, the Japanese probably won't be fooled.

So after some thought, he decided to give Lao Ma a call.

"Lao Ma, the previous plan is cancelled, you will continue to fight tomorrow.

When the Japanese use tanks, you retreat, how about that? "

When Lao Ma from Shiniushan heard this, he immediately became excited: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely guard Shiniushan tomorrow and try to kill another 2000 devils.

By then, our Third Battalion will have wiped out an entire regiment of the Japanese."

Xiao Dingfang said angrily: "Bullshit, 2000 devils!

Tomorrow's battle will be mainly defensive. As long as the Japanese don't rush up to the position, there is no need for you to use your full strength, do you understand?

When the Japanese use tanks, you must retreat immediately. Don't fight too long, understand?"

"Ah? Okay, retreat when you see the enemy tanks, don't fight to the bitter end."

Lao Ma promised, but Xiao Dingfang still added:

"Of course, I won't let you fight alone. I will support you with one company tonight.

Remember, if the Japanese tanks come, we will retreat!"

"Yes!"

After finishing the call with Lao Ma, Xiao Dingfang directly called Monkey and asked him to lead a company over.

Although Lao Ma fights bravely, he is not as smart as Monkey. Xiao Dingfang feels more at ease letting Monkey support Shiniushan.

After arranging this, Xiao Dingfang began to consider the issue of air defense.

Although today's Oerlikon machine gun fighter is quite good, it directly shot down 5 Japanese planes.

However, the anti-aircraft firepower was still not enough. After all, in addition to fighter planes, the Japanese also had bombers.

The bombers were flying at a relatively high altitude; yesterday they dropped bombs at an altitude of 2000 meters.

Although the Oerlikon machine gun can fire at a range of 4000 meters, it uses a 60-magnet drum magazine and has a terrifying rate of fire.

However, it was still difficult to face bombers at an altitude of 2000 meters.

So Xiao Dingfang started purchasing again.

"System, purchase MK303 anti-aircraft guns, purchase 10 guns, and send the shells!"

MK303 is a very excellent 30mm anti-aircraft gun. It is as easy to operate as the Oerlikon machine gun and can be used with simple training.

If you fire a few hundred shells, you will become a veteran.

More importantly, it is cheap, with one anti-aircraft gun costing 150 points, and 1 shells costing 10 point.

[Ding, purchase successful, total cost 3500 points, current remaining points 8750.]

After buying it, Xiao Dingfang directly airdropped it to Laohushan, and then used a truck to transport it directly to Zhangjiawadi.

Of course, he also called in some people from the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion in Tiger Mountain. After all, they had been trained for quite some time and were easy to use.

As a result, Zhangjiawadi had 16 Oerlikon machine guns and 10 303 anti-aircraft guns, and its anti-aircraft firepower was definitely not weak.

The Japanese planes will definitely come again tomorrow, and then we will definitely give them a fucking surprise!
