Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Japanese Army, Kazuki Kiyoshi received a telegram requesting tactical guidance from the 1st Infantry Brigade. He knew that the 1st Infantry Brigade would definitely suffer heavy casualties in the Battle of Yangjiao Village, otherwise the arrogant Shigekaku Suzuki would not have sent this telegram.

At present, the entire Shanxi is not very rich in troops, otherwise the Fifth Division would not have been mobilized from Zhangjiakou to enter the Xin'an County base in Shanxi to attack the Eighth Route Army.

Xiangyue Qingsi thought for a long time without expression before saying to the chief of staff next to him: "Where is the Fifth Division currently in?"

When the Chief of Staff saw the commander inquiring, he immediately replied respectfully: "The Fifth Division had just left Zhangjiakou yesterday morning, and the vanguard had only reached a position more than 300 kilometers west of Zhangjiakou. At this speed, it would take at least two days to reach Datong."

After listening to the Chief of Staff’s answer, Xiangyue Qingshi knew that he would not be able to rely on the Fifth Division in a short period of time and could only rely on his own First Army.

Xiangyue Qingsi walked to the map, found the location of Yangjiao Village, calculated the distance, and said: "Notify Taiyuan Airport and send planes to reinforce the 1st Infantry Brigade."

At present, China's air force is weak, and several aircraft from the Central Army are still supported by Western countries such as the Soviet Union, the United States, and are all eliminated goods from others. Therefore, over China, Japanese aircraft are generally unscrupulous and rampant.

Whenever there is a large-scale battle, the Japanese will send planes to help, bombard the Zhongzhang team, and the Zhongzhang team was beaten to death with heavy casualties.

Therefore, this time, Xiangyue Kiyoshi was considering sending aircraft to support. The distance from Taiyuan to Yangjiao Village is only a few hundred kilometers, which is exactly within the combat radius of Japanese aircraft.

....................................

In Yangjiao Village, the one-hour artillery regiment's shelling had just ended. Zhang Yunfei stood at the highest point of Yangjiao Village and saw through the telescope that the Japanese opposite had a mess, with black smoke everywhere, and things that were blown up everywhere, including the corpses of the Japanese who were blown up.

The deputy commander Liu Dazhu and the first regiment commander Wang Haiyang also saw the miserable appearance of the Japanese devils' position, and they were full of joy. The first regiment commander Wang Haiyang happily said to Zhang Yunfei: "Teacher, is it our turn to join the regiment? I promise to get rid of the little devil on the opposite side by one charge."

Seeing the commander of the regiment, Wang Haiyang asked for a fight, Zhang Yunfei said with a cautious look: "I don't think things are that simple. The opposite side is an elite brigade of the Japanese devils. They will not be defeated by us like this. Although the Japanese devils are suffering heavy casualties at present, their basic combat power has not been completely lost. With you, it would be too risky."

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's analysis, Deputy Division Commander Liu Dazhu said, "Teacher Commander, the Second Regiment and the Fourth Regiment have moved to the two wings of the Japanese, and can launch an attack at any time. The cavalry battalion has also reached Yangjiao Village and is on standby at any time."

Although his own troops could almost encircle the Japanese infantry 1st Brigade, Zhang Yunfei always felt something was wrong.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yunfei slapped his head suddenly. The Air Force, the Japanese Air Force had not yet appeared. He was attacked by his artillery regiment so violently. The Japanese would definitely ask the Air Force to support him, because the Air Force was the nemesis of the artillery.

So, Zhang Yunfei hurriedly said to Liu Dazhu and Wang Haiyang: "Hurry up and order the troops to pretend to be disguised, avoid the Japanese Air Force, order the artillery battalion to quickly transfer positions, and at the same time order the anti-aircraft artillery battalion to pay attention to air defense."

After hearing what Zhang Yunfei said, Liu Dazhu and Wang Haiyang realized that the Japanese Air Force might have come, so they hurriedly went to convey the order.

In fact, Chen Hu's anti-aircraft artillery battalion had already entered the designated position. Just on a small hill on the side of Yangjiao Village, two anti-aircraft artillery companies came to participate in the battle, but for the time being, there were only four anti-aircraft artillery guns, and only six people needed to operate the anti-aircraft artillery. All the remaining people were scattered around to serve as warning tasks.

Because the anti-aircraft artillery battalion was condescending, Chen Hu could see clearly the battle situation just now. Seeing that Wang Daquan's artillery battalion was so exciting, he felt itchy in his heart. He really wanted to shoot a few shots at the Japanese.

Just as Chen Hu was trying to get enough of his hands, the communications soldier ran out of breath and said, the division commander ordered the anti-aircraft artillery battalion to be alert, and the Japanese plane might come.

When Chen Hu heard the order, his eyes shone brightly and quickly ran to the nearest anti-aircraft cannon, got into the shooting position, and ordered the ammunition operator to prepare for the battle as soon as possible.

During normal training, don’t think that Chen Hu is the battalion commander, but he has more shells than ordinary soldiers. In Chen Hu’s eyes, he must be proficient in the operation of this anti-aircraft gun, otherwise how can he survive.

Not to mention, this anti-aircraft gun designed by the German Jews is really easy to operate. It is equipped with an optical scope. As long as you aim and hit, it will be very accurate and there is no recoil. It only took you one day to learn it.

Anti-aircraft guns are also painted in colorful colors according to the requirements of the division commander. According to the division commander, this is called camouflage, which can protect itself well and make it difficult for the planes in the sky to discover themselves.

Now my four anti-aircraft guns are set up on this small hill bag, hidden in the shrub layer on the hill bag. It is really hard to find when you look a little further away.

Before Chen Hu could wait for a long time, he faintly heard the roar of a plane coming from the horizon. Following the sound, he saw more than a dozen small black dots flying towards him.

As the black spots gradually approached, Chen Hu finally saw that it was more than a dozen large bombers. In the sky, the Japanese bombers might have discovered the position built by the Eighth Route Army on the ground and were preparing to dive and drop bombs.

Seeing such a good opportunity, Chen Hu quickly turned the gun and aimed at an Japanese bomber to start shooting. The 30-mm anti-aircraft gun had a rate of more than 100 rounds per minute. Suddenly, more than a dozen shells hit the huge body, and the plane was blown up by volley.

Seeing that the plane was blown up by his battalion commander, the soldiers of the other three anti-aircraft guns were not to be outdone and fired fire at the little ghost's fleet.

The Japanese devils dispatched all large and bulky bombers. This old-style propeller bombardment was very slow and had poor maneuverability. Moreover, the Japanese devils did not know that Zhang Yunfei's troops were equipped with advanced anti-aircraft guns.

Moreover, during this bombing, the little ghost's plane was not flying high, which was only two or three thousand meters high. After discovering the position of the Eighth Route Army, it lowered the altitude again, making it easier to drop bombs, which provided a good opportunity for the soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion.

Suddenly, several planes were blown up, and two or three were hit, emitting thick black smoke. It was a matter of time before the crash. When the other planes saw such fierce artillery fire below, they knew they had encountered the anti-aircraft guns of the China Team.

The pilot with three or four aircraft was really brave. Not only did he not fly away from the effective range of the anti-aircraft gun immediately, he began to carefully search for anti-aircraft guns on the ground, preparing to blow up the annoying anti-aircraft guns.

But sadly, after searching for a few minutes, I didn’t find where the anti-aircraft gun was hidden. In this daylight, I couldn’t see the flames at the muzzle. I could only judge based on the approximate direction of the shell shooting, but unfortunately I couldn’t find it.

In the past few minutes, the Japanese aircraft were shot down one by one. When the last few planes finally found something wrong and needed to escape quickly, it was too late.

The Japanese pilots of the last surviving aircraft began to panic and lift the aircraft altitude and prepare to leave the battlefield. However, the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns equipped by the anti-aircraft artillery battalion had a fast firing rate and an effective firing height of 5,000 meters.

These anti-aircraft guns eventually became nightmare for Japanese pilots. Only one of the dozen aircraft that attacked was waving away from the battlefield with black smoke. I don’t know if this aircraft could fly back to Taiyuan safely. The rest of the aircraft, without exception, were all shot down by the anti-aircraft gun battalion.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers on the ground cheered when they saw this scene. Even Zhang Yunfei, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but smile and praise, saying that the first battle of the artillery battalion was perfect.

The Japanese on the opposite position were dejected and disappointed. Several senior commanders of the First Infantry Brigade were even more desperate. The plane that supported them was knocked out. How should we fight in the next battle?
