The soldiers of the National Army lying on the offensive position felt extremely happy when they looked at the Japanese positions covered by dense artillery fire. When they attacked in the morning, they saw the Japanese gunfire raging. Now it was finally the Japanese turn to try this kind of taste.

Compared to the morning when the Japanese Artillery Corps was like the firefighting team, they provided artillery support to the defensive forces in all directions. At present, the troops responsible for the attacking spilled the shells they carried onto the Japanese positions, and the Japanese were bombing ran away with their heads in their arms.

Many Japanese officers who were staying on the defensive positions couldn't help but say, "Where are our artillery? Where is our plane? Why don't you fight back? If this continues, how can we hold our position?"

The Japanese who were used to attacking or defense and had artillery fire support were also very dissatisfied with the situation of passive bombing. The simple fortifications excavated earlier were difficult to form effective protection, and many Japanese were killed by artillery shells.

If the Japanese hadn't known that they could not retreat, they would have been afraid that the Japanese soldiers who were staying in the trenches of the positions would move to the rear. But these Japanese knew that the division command was behind the positions, so how could they retreat?

As depressed as these officers, Isotani Ryosuke, who was still at the division command. Faced with the strong shelling of the besieged troops, Isotani Ryosuke said in surprise: "Where are our fighter planes? Why haven't they appeared yet?"

"His division commander, Lu Hang called back, they had already sent fighter planes and should have arrived at the battlefield at this time!"

"Baga! Since the fighter plane has taken off, what about the planes? Why didn't I see it? Are they lost?"

Risuke Isotani was extremely angry when he looked at the officer roaring at the staff officer. Looking at the troops struggling in the shelling, he knew very well that the fighter planes would not appear again. The defensive troops arranged on the front line were afraid that they would not last long. His artillery corps had lost their combat effectiveness.

Not to mention that the shells are almost completely exhausted, after the previous round of artillery bombardment, the artillery gang became the target of the opponent's key artillery bombardment. Now, even if the counterattack is counterattacked, the effect is extremely limited. Without artillery support, how long can the defensive forces last?

Just as all the Japanese troops were expecting the appearance of fighter jets, the Japanese troops, who were under fierce shelling of the national army, soon saw the fighter jets appearing in the sky. Seeing the fighter jets appear, many Japanese troops were preparing to cheer loudly, but found that the fighter jet was fleeing in a panic.

"What about you? Did I see it wrong? That fighter plane is really our fighter plane? Are the fighter planes following the enemy planes?"

"It should be! No wonder our fighter planes did not appear. It turned out that the Chinese army sent out fighter planes. Damn it, what should I do now?"

Countless Japanese soldiers and the National Army soldiers in charge of the attack were staring at the three fighter jets above their heads. Judging from the signs of the fighter jets, the fighter jets flying in the front were painted with plaster flags, while the two fighter jets chasing behind were blue sky and white sun flags.

Compared to the Japanese army on the position, the Japanese soldiers who were frustrated and were shocked before raised their arms and cheered: "Great! It's our fighter plane! Brothers of the Air Force, come on! Beat that damn Japanese plane down!"

"Come on, fly! Shoot quickly, ah! Why did you miss it again? Go aiming and hitting!"

"Ah! I hit it! The Japanese's plane was hit! It's smoking, look! The plane is about to fall!"

As the expectations and attention of the National Army soldiers, the two National Army fighters who were chasing Japanese fighters finally successfully shot down the Japanese fighter jets that fled to the battlefield. Looking at the Japanese fighter jets that eventually crashed, the morale of the offensive troops suddenly increased.

On the other hand, Risuke Isotani, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, soon heard the chief of staff beside him with a bitter face: "General, the Chinese army actually dispatched fighter jets. The fighter jets sent by the Land Airlines are likely to be shot down. We should prepare early!"

If the artillery gang loses its counterattack ability, it is expected. Then the loss of air force support is something the 10th Division did not expect. Everyone knows that the Chinese army's air force is very weak and rarely dares to face the Japanese fighter jet formation head-on.

As for the so-called navy, it has basically been in name only since the beginning of the Battle of Jinling. Only the Air Force, although its strength is still weak, a large number of Soviet-style fighter jets have arrived in the rear, and the National Army's air force is also growing and growing.

When the Air Force pilots flying Soviet fighters were fighting against Japanese fighter pilots, they were no longer at a disadvantage as before. Even the equipped Soviet fighters were significantly better than the Japanese fighter jets in terms of performance.

The performance of the fighter jets is stronger than that of the Japanese fighter jets, and to a certain extent the combat experience of the national pilots is also compensated for the combat experience of the national pilots. As long as these pilots are given a few more practical opportunities, I believe that the situation where the Japanese fighter jets rage on the battlefield will be greatly curbed.

Shooting down the Japanese fighter jet that fled over the battlefield, the two pursuing fighter jets suddenly lowered their flight altitude and launched dive strafing towards the area where the artillery corps of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army was located, and the Japanese artillery fled in a hurry.

In the past, their fighter planes would always help destroy the artillery positions of the Anti-Japanese War troops in the sky. Now it was their turn to taste this taste, and the Japanese artillery finally knew how affliction it felt to be beaten passively and unable to fight back.

Li Zongren, who was staying in the rear to supervise the war, couldn't help laughing and scolding as he watched two Air Force fighter jets dive into the Japanese position, "The Air Force's bastards really love to show off! How long has the shelling been done?"

"Sir, it's ten minutes!"

"Absolutely! Let the troops start the general attack while the morale is booming now! I also want to see if the Japanese plan to fight to the end or choose to break through. Without artillery, let's see if they can run there!"

As Li Zongren issued the order to start a general attack on the ground troops, three more signal flares rose into the air. All artillery commanders immediately said: "Start the artillery fire to extend! After the shooting, pack up the artillery immediately and prepare to retreat!"

According to the combat order issued by Li Zongren earlier, the fighter jet squadron flying from the rear could not stay in the air to provide support. When the Japanese army sent off to fly over the battlefield, if there were no fighter cover, the artillery would suffer heavy losses.

In this case, it is very necessary for artillery troops to withdraw from the battle in advance. It is impossible to finish this battle this time, and the days ahead will be too long! Even if the 10th Division is encircled and annihilated, the battle in Xuzhou is far from over!

When the artillery troops began to extend artillery fire, the infantry commander lurking at the front of the offensive position immediately stood up and raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, kill the Japanese! Follow me and rush!"

A roar like this sounded in front of the Japanese defensive positions. The soldiers of the Kuomintang who had been lying on the frontier of the offensive positions rushed to the Japanese defensive positions like a tide. Seeing this scene, the Japanese troops on the defensive positions were also shocked.

The Japanese surviving on the position were also rushed to block the attack under the urging of the officers. However, facing the attacking troops with great morale, the Japanese surviving on the position finally realized the feeling of being unable to match four hands with two fists.

"Squadron Captain, there are too many Chinese troops! What should I do? We need support! We need support!"

"Hold it! Be sure to block it. No matter what, the Chinese army cannot break through our position! Continue to shoot!"

As grassroots officers of the Japanese, they didn’t know that they needed support. The problem is that the division is now under attack from all sides and needs support everywhere. At this time, even if there are reinforcements in the rear, they are afraid that there will be no time to reinforce.

As the first offensive unit successfully rushed to the Japanese defensive position, the attacking Kuomintang soldiers began to shoot and kill the surviving Japanese soldiers. Grenades were also thrown into the trenches where the Japanese hid, and subsequent offensive troops continued to invade.

"Brothers, kill me! I will pick all the Japanese devils! I will capture the old Japanese devils alive and continue to rush!"

When the first wave of attacking troops rushed to the Japanese's position, the Japanese who were standing on the position soon realized that all resistance was futile. Faced with the continuous flow of national soldiers, the Japanese could not bear it at all.

Just as some Japanese soldiers started hand-to-hand combat with rifles, the officers of the attacking troops took out their pistols and shot the Japanese soldiers, and shouted: "If you can use a gun, don't use a knife! Breaking forward quickly and breaking into the Japanese command center!"

The first unit to break through the Japanese position was very clear about how great this contribution was. This time, the 10th Division was encircled and annihilated, and the entire Fifth War Zone troops participated. If you want to achieve military achievements in this joint combat, you must achieve more beautiful military achievements than others!

Isotani Ryosuke, who was staying in the rear command, saw the left defensive position being broken through, and said with a bitter expression: "Break through the left position! The chariot troops, attack! The rest of the troops, defend on both sides, block the attack of the Chinese army!"

"Hi!"

When the fighter jet was shot down before, Isotani Ryosuke knew that he would not wait until dark and would have to break through immediately. Once the Fifth War Zone was made to form a comprehensive breakthrough and wait for the 10th Division to end, it might be completely wiped out.

At this time, while the defensive forces in front and behind were still holding on, he had to take a gamble and break out from the right position. What he could hope for now is that the next batch of combat functions could arrive on the battlefield in time, so that he might have a glimmer of hope.

The independent chariot troops, which were always on standby at the command center, received the order from Akisuke Isotani assault. The assault vanguard formed by more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles quickly rushed to the right position that was under attack, and the remaining infantry were responsible for flanking security.

When the chariot squadron appeared in the front position, the on-board machine guns of tanks and armored vehicles began to fire at the attacking national troops. The sudden counterattack caught the national troops responsible for the right position off guard.

No one expected that the Japanese would choose their way to break through. The main commander of the commander waved his fist and cursed: "Damn Japanese, do you think I'm easy to bully? Blow the trumpet, let the offensive troops make way and prepare for the blasting hands!"

"I'm afraid it's too late!"

"You have to block it even if you don't have time! Call the master and ask him to organize defenses from behind. Let's block it first!"
