Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong

"Order the rocket artillery battalion to bombard these incoming Japanese soldiers and halt their offensive momentum."

At such a close distance, the accuracy of the 107mm rocket launcher is still very high.

In less than a minute, the 107 rocket launcher, which had already been moved to a new position and hidden, launched a new round of artillery fire.

Rockets shot up into the sky, drew an arc across the sky and covered the area. In an instant, a large area was engulfed in explosions.

Part of the attacking force of the Japanese 116th Division was also covered in this dense and continuous explosion.

The scene was a bit like setting off firecrackers. The explosions were very dense and frequent, and there was no place to hide on the plains.

The 116th Division's attack did achieve certain results.

In the end, the 116rd Tank Division and the th Division both successfully retreated, but the losses were so heavy that they could not believe their eyes.

In fact, there is no need to look at the casualties. Just one look at the corpses of Japanese soldiers strewn all over the foot of Hill 474 will tell you how tragic this battle was.

Of course, this tragedy is for the Japanese devils.

For Li Yunlong and his men, this battle was a thrilling one.

The Japanese, on the other hand, were in a gloomy mood.

When Naosaburo Okabe saw the casualty statistics, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

After this battle, the 3rd Tank Division might be eliminated.

The personnel loss was as high as 60%, and the tank loss was more than 80%. There are only about 200 tanks left out of more than 30 tanks.

The 116th Division originally had more than 8000 people, but now there are only more than left.

The combined strength of the two divisions is only about people.

The 474 Highland blocking battle achieved very brilliant results in a short period of time.

The fighting here and in the direction of Shilihe Village were reported to Taiyuanlong one after another.

Obviously, this news is bad news for Yoshio Shinozuka.

"General, a telegram has arrived from the 14th Division."

At this moment, Yoshio Shinozuka was studying the Three Kingdoms carefully.

After hearing this, he asked without even looking up, "What? Has the 14th Division occupied Shilihe Village?"

The main force of the independent regiment has gathered in the Zuoyun County area, and Shilihe Village is short of troops.

The 14th Division plus the 113th Division has a total strength of more than troops.

Taking over the small Shilihe Village was a piece of cake.

So when he heard the telegram from the 14th Division, he did not show much emotion, but asked calmly.

The officer was about to tell the bad news but stopped himself.

After seeing Yoshio Shinozuka's current expression, he felt that if he told this news.

I'm afraid I'll be met with the commander's wrath.

After hearing no sound for a long time, Shinozuka Yoshio frowned slightly, looked up at the officer, and asked seriously, "What's wrong? Didn't you hear me?"

However, when he saw the hesitant expression on the officer's face, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.

"What's wrong? Just tell me."

He vaguely felt that the operation to capture Shilihe Village was not as smooth as he had imagined.

The officer took a deep breath before speaking the contents of the telegram.

"Your Excellency, General, the 14th Division came under heavy fire from the Eighth Route Army while attacking Shilihe Village. Our 59th Regiment suffered heavy casualties, totaling men."

"We have now retreated to a safe distance. We request that the Army Aviation conduct a carpet bombing of Shilihe Village to eliminate the Eighth Route Army's artillery threat. Otherwise, we will be unable to advance."

After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka just stood there in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"General?"

The officer asked cautiously.

Only then did Yoshio Shinozuka recover from the shock of the news.

"Show me the telegram."

After taking the telegram from the officer, he read it carefully, fearing that he had just heard the auditory hallucination.

But when the black and white words were spread out before his eyes, he almost felt dizzy.

The battle had just begun. Their two divisions of more than 30,000 people were attacking a small mountain village with no troops.

More than 4,000 people were lost.

This number of casualties is already that of a medium-sized battle.

The most crucial thing is that the troops of the two divisions were frightened by the enemy's artillery and dared not advance.

He had to send the Army Aviation to provide support.

The commander of the 14th Division was no coward, especially with such a huge number of casualties.

He could already imagine how fierce the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire was, and it must be that kind of rocket launcher.

This reminded him of the 41st Division during the previous battle of Ling County.

More than 10,000 people were killed or wounded by a wave of rocket artillery fire from the enemy.

It is obvious that the 14th Division also encountered this type of rocket launcher.

I didn’t expect that Li Yunlong would place such a powerful rocket launcher in Shilihe Village.

"Bagaya Road."

After cursing harshly, he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Faced with the current situation, he didn't have any better solution.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Go, call over Major General Abe Nobuo, the commander of the Army Aviation."

Faced with this situation, it seems that their best option is to directly destroy the enemy's rocket launchers through air strikes.

Soon, Major General Nobuo Abe, commander of the Army Aviation, entered the office.

Yoshio Shinozuka told him the situation in the direction of Shilihe Village.

When Abe Nobuo heard that the target to be bombed was Li Yunlong, the nightmare of the Army Aviation, his brows were twisted together.

"General, if the bombing of the Independent Regiment continues in the same manner as before, I will refuse to carry out this order, even if it means going to court-martial."

"Not only would this be a pointless sacrifice of our aircraft and pilots, it would also achieve no real effect."

"But I already have a plan to deal with this independent group."

After hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes lit up and he asked expectantly, "What's the solution?"

Abe Nobuo said decisively: "Low-altitude night attack."

"We conducted covert reconnaissance of Shilihe Village during the day and discovered their artillery positions."

"At night, we will send out a fleet of aircraft to bomb."

"Although this is very inefficient, we can still achieve the same effect by bombing every day."

"The most important thing is that our aircraft and pilots can return safely."

In Abe Nobuo's opinion, the enemy's air defense weapons were very strange.

But their weapons experts believe that this missile must have some kind of guidance method, and guidance needs to be done through the naked eye.

So if it is at night, the opponent's air defense weapons will definitely be ineffective.

Of course, in this era without night combat equipment and navigation positioning, the efficiency of night bombing is also very low, and sometimes it is even impossible to find the target.

But this is still better than dying in broad daylight.

This is the safest solution he can think of.

Although Yoshio Shinozuka felt uncomfortable after hearing this, he had to agree to this method.

Because this is indeed the safest way.

"Then do it your way."

"I just want to hear that you successfully completed the bombing mission. If you fail again, I will personally bring you to court-martial."

Abe Noburo nodded heavily and said, "Please rest assured, General, this will definitely not happen this time."

"Then go down, I'll wait for your good news."

The Army Aviation acted very quickly. After Nobuo Abe returned, he arranged for two specially modified Type 1 fighter planes to go for reconnaissance.

This idea had actually already formed in his mind before.

All the weapons of these two Type 1 fighters were removed, and then they were modified and installed with some high-altitude reconnaissance equipment.

The biggest advantage of high-altitude reconnaissance is that it is difficult for the enemy to detect it.

After all, at an altitude of several thousand meters, the Type 1 fighter looks like a small black dot and is difficult to detect with the naked eye.

With these two modified Type 1 reconnaissance aircraft, they can obtain intelligence from the air more easily.

However, what Abe Nobuo did not expect was.

The Eighth Route Army discovered their aircraft group not through their eyes, but through radar, a technology that changed the mode of air combat.

Shilihe Village, radar vehicle.

Two green dots suddenly appeared on the radar screen, and the radar operator immediately switched the radio channel to the headquarters channel.

Because Zhao Gang had told them to inform him immediately if they discovered any enemy situation.

"Report to the Commissioner, Japanese aircraft spotted!"

When Zhao Gang heard that the Japanese planes were coming, he showed a look of surprise in his eyes.

Normally, the Japanese wouldn't even dare to approach with reconnaissance planes, but today they actually sent planes over again. It seems they are really angry.

"How many Japanese planes are coming? How far away are they?"

The radar operator glanced at the screen, double-checked, and said, "Number of targets: 2, range: 4-7 kilometers."

"Only two planes came? They look like Japanese reconnaissance planes."

Zhao Gang pondered for a moment before asking, "With our current air defense capabilities, how many Japanese bombings can we handle?"

"Report to the political commissar, we can handle at least one hundred."

Zhao Gang immediately said, "Don't attack them yet. If they get close to the core area, just use anti-aircraft guns to drive them away."

"Yes, Commissar!"

Then Zhao Gang directly dialed the number of the Second Rocket Artillery Battalion.

"Use the inflatable model that Consultant Li brought over to set up a fake target immediately. Make it as obvious as possible."

"All other vehicles were concealed with camouflage sheeting."

"Yes, Commissar!"

But Zhao Gang always remembered that an airplane carries 20 tons of supplies, and a pilot carries 10 tons.

Shooting down one of them can weigh as little as 30 tons.

The two Japanese reconnaissance planes were only worth thirty or forty tons, and he didn't think much of them.
