Chapter 240 The Wreck of the Fighter
I am the Artillery Text Volume 240: Fighter Wreckage "Company Commander! Success! The Japanese Fighter was really shot down!" When Zhang Qiang ran away, he did not forget to look into the air. He saw the sparks in the air. 35xs
Liu Gen turned his head and glanced at it, then shouted again, "Damn it! Stop looking at it! Run!"
With Liu Gen's shout, the soldiers' escape became faster. Even Liu Gen, the person who took off the plane himself, was so anxious. If they didn't retreat, would they really want to stay here for the Japanese fighter jets as targets? Seeing a Japanese fighter jet successfully shot by Liu Gen has a great impact on the soldiers present. They have some confidence in Liu Gen, but when the fighter jets were really shot down, the soldiers were still extremely shocked.
Running quickly towards the woods not far away, the only Japanese fighter plane left in the air finally reacted. They were originally regarded as a battle mission for travel, but a fighter plane was directly shot down. Looking at the fighter plane not far away, it crashed towards the battlefield below. The Japanese pilot controlled the fighter plane and quickly pulled it up. With another pilot's warning with his life, how could the Japanese pilot continue to keep flying at low altitude? Who knows whether the Tujiao Route Army below can also kill the fighter plane he was flying?
The flames burned on the Japanese fighter plane, and the Japanese pilots on the fighter plane failed to escape. Because the mortar shells exploded head-on, the Japanese pilots were killed directly. 35xs otherwise, with the current state of the Japanese fighter plane, the Japanese pilots would definitely choose to escape with a parachute.
On the defensive position of the front-line independent regiment, Li Yunlong and Captain Cheng were confused. They were just about to let the concentrated light machine gunners fire at the Japanese fighter jets. Who knew that the Japanese fighter jets would be attacked in advance? Li Yunlong and the other two looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes. Who took the action?
There was no time left for Li Yunlong and the others to think. They could see that the prepared Japanese attacked the independent regiment position again, and the Japanese fighter jets in the air actually chose to retreat directly. Faced with the Eighth Route Army with the means to shoot down the Zero fighter jets, the Japanese pilot did not dare to bet. He did not dare to bet that he would continue to attack here and would not be attacked by the Eighth Route Army. In order to avoid the Zero fighter jets he was flying were destroyed here, the Japanese pilot decisively chose to leave.
The captain of the Japanese Infantry Brigade saw the fighter planes leaving, and his eyes were filled with anger. He chose to let his subordinates attack these Turkish Eighth Route defensive positions, which was entirely because he saw the arrival of two fighter planes. With the firepower support of two fighter planes, the Japanese captain was confident of taking down the defense position of Turkish Eighth Route defensive positions, but what about now? Two fighter planes that came to support were shot down, and the other chose to escape.
Without the firepower support of fighter jets, it is undoubtedly impossible to take down the defensive positions of these 8th Route Army. But what made the captain of the Japanese Infantry Brigade helpless was that the Japanese under his command had already been involved in the battle. Once they were asked to retreat now, this attack would not have any value. In this way, the Japanese Captain did not choose to let these 8th Route Army retreat. He wanted to see how long these 8th Route Army could last!
Facing the attacking Japanese, the soldiers defending in the positions quickly fired and kept knocking down the Japanese who were rushing forward. Whenever Japanese gathered, the mortars in the hands of the soldiers would be used, and the grenades would be thrown directly at the Japanese. Whether in the Independent Regiment or the 772nd Regiment, the number of mortars is not small. Even if the artillery company of the Independent Regiment has no combat power, there are mortars in each battalion of the Independent Regiment, and there are also many grenade launchers.
The Japanese had strong firepower before, but now the Independent Regiment is not as strong as the firepower of the 772nd Regiment. Faced with such a strong firepower, the Japanese could not easily rush to the position. Even if the Japanese finally rushed to the position, they were greeted with a bullet that could take away their lives.
However, even though the firepower of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment exceeded that of the Japanese, there were still many casualties in the defense process. There was no way that the Japanese's gun technique was too good. Perhaps the gun technique could not be compared with the Japanese's real elite troops, but compared with the Eighth Route Army, the gun technique was not weak. In addition, it was daytime now, so the Japanese's gun technique was fully exerted.
The Japanese's accurate shooting skills brought considerable trouble to the soldiers, and in such a battle, the soldiers who survived are also constantly improving.
In the woods, Liu Gen looked at the position of the defensive position of the Independent Regiment, and could see that the firepower on the position was still enough. It was undoubtedly impossible for the Japanese to take down the defensive position of the Independent Regiment in a short period of time. After paying attention to this, Liu Gen felt a lot more relaxed. Thinking of the fighter planes that the Japanese fell, Liu Gen had an idea. When the Japanese fighter planes fell, there must be wreckage, and even said that they could gain more. These wreckages were useless in Liu Gen's hands, but what if they were transported to the rear? They would definitely have a certain effect.
"Zhang Qiang, go and ask them to bring two hundred soldiers to the 772nd Regiment. We have more important things to do." Liu Gen ordered Zhang Qiang beside him.
Zhang Qiang was slightly stunned. He couldn't react. The battle in the front line position was so fierce. Will the rash transfer of so many people affect the defense of the position? However, when Zhang Qiang looked at Liu Gen, he could see the solemnity on Liu Gen's face, which made him less hesitant.
"We are going to find the wreckage of the Japanese crashed fighter plane. This is of great use to our Eighth Route Army." Liu Gen explained to Zhang Qiang.
Suddenly, Zhang Qiang understood, no longer hesitated, stood up and ran towards the back of the position.
Seeing Zhang Qiang leave, Liu Gen recalled the location where the Japanese fighter plane fell just now. The reason why Zhang Qiang ordered two hundred soldiers was because Liu Gen was worried about meeting the Japanese special forces again. Liu Gen's battles were all artillery. If he really encountered the Japanese special forces, he was just delivering vegetables to the Japanese special forces. In order to ensure safety and to take the wreckage of the fighter plane into his hands, Liu Gen needed the soldiers to have enough combat power.
"Company Commander Yu Jin, take the soldiers back to the rear of the position first. I'm afraid the front line will soon need your artillery support." Liu Gen looked at Yu Jin beside him and spoke.
Yu Jin didn't really want to leave. He also wanted to follow Liu Gen to find the fighter planes where the Japanese fell, but when he thought of the situation on the front line, he could only smile bitterly and take the soldiers away. Compared with finding the wreckage of the fighter plane, the battle on the front line is still needed, and the artillery soldiers are more needed!
