Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Chapter 1207 There is no corner that cannot be dug down

"Baga! The Huaxia bomber is here, hurry up and fire!"

"Baga, Lu! Die, die!"

In addition to the solid trenches along the river, dotted bunkers, fortress guns, and anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense, the carefully constructed fortification line of the Devil's Yellow River.

After receiving the air raid warning, the Devil's anti-aircraft artillery crews were already on their positions. When the Huaxia bomber group flew over the sky, the Devil's anti-aircraft artillery group began to bombard the sky frantically.

Boom boom boom, the last ten Type 75 88mm anti-aircraft guns and Type [-] [-]mm anti-aircraft guns roared one after another.

A round of anti-aircraft shells soared into the sky, and after a while, black smoke clouds exploded in the sky, spurting out countless metal fragments, forming a death smoke screen.

"Brothers, don't panic, the devil's anti-aircraft guns are just a bunch of paper tigers, they don't have much accuracy at all."

Qiao Yong, head of the bomber flight regiment, led the horizontal bomber fleet of the headquarters to the sky above the Yellow River defense line. He was not afraid of the devil's anti-aircraft artillery bombardment, and roared excitedly in the communication channel:

"Aim at the devil's turret for me to explode. It's time to apply what you've learned and test the power of our Norton scope in actual combat!"

At this time, the fleet was at an altitude of 7000 meters. In the eyes of everyone, the devil's fortification line along the river below was like a streamer as thick as a little finger winding along the Yellow River.

"Hey, that's a must!"

"Let these bastards taste our power!"

There was no need for Qiao Yong to tell him how to do it. The bomber pilots who had practiced many live ammunition exercises were very proficient in the operation. It was the first time that they were put into actual combat on a large scale. Everyone was extremely excited and excited.

The pilots first locked the Devil's defense line along the river through the eyepiece, aligned it on the crosshair, and then turned on the power switch.

The gyro system started to work, and the sighting equipment was always aimed at the target, and the bombardier began to manually input the bombing parameters.

After everything is ready, the flight control of the aircraft is handed over to the Norton sight. This is the case until the bombing is completed. The computer will calculate various parameters, and then "autopilot" the aircraft to fly to the target and drop the bomb.

Choo Choo Choo!

One after another, blockbuster bombs descended into the sky with sharp roars, as if a group of demons from hell were spreading death and fear to the invaders.

Boom boom boom!

Ten seconds later, these heavy weights weighing hundreds of kilograms, or even hundreds of kilograms, fell to the ground and blossomed around the devil's fortification line.

The violent explosion power set off clouds of gunpowder and smoke soaring into the sky. The overpressure shock wave and metal storm formed by the explosion formed a criss-crossing absolute death radius,

Theoretically, the Norton scope can drop bombs within 7 meters of the ground target at an altitude of 30 kilometers. Although the hit rate in actual combat is only 10%, it is enough for little devils to bear.

The fortifications carefully constructed by the devils were blown to pieces in an instant, especially the devil's forts, which were the focus of attention, were the first to bear the brunt!

Many forts were directly hit by hundreds of kilograms of bombs. The long barrels were blown to pieces, and the thick reinforced concrete was also blown to pieces and pits.

Those ghost anti-aircraft artillery soldiers who are firing wildly, naturally don't want to please them. Under the saturation bombing of heavy bombs without money, the casualties and wounds that died after a while, the anti-aircraft firepower was suppressed by most of them at once. .

After just a few minutes, the bombers didn't dare to stay too long. After all, the little devil's anti-aircraft artillery is not a decoration, and it will kill people if it is hit directly.

After each found the target, they threw the bombs away, and then circled in a small circle at high altitude before returning home. Only a few bombers were injured by the flying fragments, and no tragedy occurred.

They came and went in a hurry, and the sky soon became quiet again, as if nothing had happened, but the devils on the other side of the river who were bombed and riddled with holes along the river defense line could not recover as before.

I saw that a large area was shrouded in thick smoke, and there were still many raging fires raging cracklingly.

A small highland on the Yellow River defense line in Qidong County.

Song Guoqiang, deputy commander of the 2nd Army of the Huben Army and commander of the 8th Division, was standing at an observation post on a small high ground looking at the Japanese defense line on the other side of the Yellow River.

"Haha, it's beautiful to kill! Just rely on the little devil's anti-aircraft guns."

After the bombers finished their work and returned safely, Song Guoqiang immediately yelled at the communications staff next to him: "It's up to us, keep bombing until we beat all these devil's bastards to pieces!"

"Order!"

The communications staff responded excitedly, and then picked up the walkie-talkie to convey the order.

"All the artillery positions are available! Fire immediately and hit me hard!"

Soon, on the artillery positions behind the defense line along the river, more than 100 155mm heavy howitzers and more than 50 155mm self-propelled howitzers began to show off and continue to make up for the damage.

Boom, boom, boom, heavy artillery roared out, and after a distance of tens of kilometers, they bombarded the Japanese defense line on the other side that was riddled with holes. The reinforced concrete defense line was smashed and smashed!

"Baga! Why hasn't the Imperial Air Force come yet? The Tiger Army's attacking heavy firepower is too fierce. There is no way for us to passively defend like this!"

The commander of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army, Osamu Maeda, who was watching from the rear, clearly saw through the binoculars the defense line along the river that was being bombarded indiscriminately ahead, and was being knocked to pieces at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is like peeling the skin of an onion, layer after layer, as long as you are willing to spend effort, as long as you swing the hoe well, there will be no corners that cannot be dug down, and no skin that cannot be peeled off!

In fact, under normal circumstances, such a deal is actually not cost-effective.

The so-called cannons are worth ten thousand taels of gold. Heavy bombs and bombs are not Chinese cabbage.

Such an indiscriminate bombardment cost a lot of money and material resources.

However, the opponent's heavy artillery continued to bombard for almost an hour, and there is no sign of stopping until now, as if the shells don't cost money.

On the contrary, the line of defense that he thought was extremely strong, seemed to be melting the snow under the scorching sun!

The anti-tank cones, anti-tank trenches, trenches constructed of civil and reinforced concrete, bunker groups, fortress turrets and other surface defenses at the front of the position are constantly being bombarded and become fragmented.

Although there were not too many casualties in terms of personnel due to the complete underground fortifications such as air-raid shelters, artillery holes, and underground traffic trenches, but it is obvious that there will be nothing left without the support of surface fortifications. It can't stop the armored cluster of the Huaxia Huben Army.

Thinking of this, Maeda Osamu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he frowned and said: "No matter how strong the defense is, it can't withstand such a high-intensity continuous bombardment. If there is no cooperation from the Imperial Air Force, how can we hold on?"

Chapter 1208 Building a Pontoon Bridge

"Yes! Without the cooperation of the Air Force, we will have a very difficult time!"

The chief of staff of the 35th Division, Nobuo Takaoka, nodded worriedly and said: "The Imperial Army is much inferior to the Chinese Huben Army in terms of technical equipment, and the opponent has the advantage of joint ground and air operations, which is even more powerful.

Although the Lubei Plain Empire has concentrated more than 20 troops and built a large number of fortification defense groups, blindly defending passively cannot stop the frontal attack of the Huaxia Huben Army! "

"After all, it's still an issue of the Air Force."

Maeda Osamu said with a dark face: "I don't understand why the air force formed by the mighty Empire of Japan with the power of the whole country can't beat the air force of a Chinese warlord?"

"This is indeed a difficult mystery!"

Nobuo Takaoka took a deep breath and said in a comforting tone: "It is said that the Imperial Air Force's new fighter jet is about to be successfully developed. It must not be long before the Imperial Air Force will be reborn again."

"I hope this day will come sooner, otherwise the imperial army of the Great Sun Empire will be too aggrieved!"

Maeda Zhi sighed, this has always been his heart disease.

In the past two years, it can be said that Maeda Osamu was worried all day long. He was afraid that the Huben Air Force would go crazy when he slept at night.

When going out during the day, Osamu Maeda would often encounter Huben fighter jets that came to carry out reconnaissance missions hovering above his head. From time to time, he would also encounter Huben fighter jets that swooped down and shot wildly, killing the devils and scaring Maeda Zhi out of his wits.

After all this, Maeda Osamu not only dared not sleep on the ground at ordinary times, but basically spent the night in the underground air-raid room, and was also suspicious during the day, which made him a little nervous now.

The War Room of the Japanese 12th Army Headquarters in Jinan.

Asaburo Kobayashi pointed to the sand table and said: "Currently, the main attack direction of the Chinese Huben Army is the imperial army's defense line on the north bank of the Yellow River. Shelling!

Judging from all the signs, the Huaxia Huben Army intends to find a breach from the Yellow River defense line this time, and then break through the Yellow River to attack the Lubei Plain in one fell swoop! "

"There is no dangerous terrain to hold on to in the Lubei Plain, and the only reliable natural barrier is the Yellow River. However, because the Huayuankou broke the embankment and diverted the Yellow River, the flow of the Yellow River in Shandong was greatly reduced, and it can no longer be called a natural barrier!

If the Huaxia Huben Army breaks through the Yellow River defense line at any cost, it will be difficult for the Imperial Army to stop it!

Once they are allowed to cross the Yellow River and break through the Yellow River defense line, the imperial army can only fight them in the plains! "

"Since this is the case, they can't break through the Yellow River defense line, making the Yellow River defense line an insurmountable moat, and making it the death grave of the Chinese Huben Army."

The tail high turtle stood up with a gloomy expression, picked up a long wooden stick and gestured:

"The Empire of Japan spent another two years building on the original basis of the Yellow River defense line, and built a solid defense line of more than 200 kilometers. There are strong and powerful defense chains of bunkers inside and outside, which can be destroyed only by the bombing of aircraft and artillery. Got it?"

Kobayashi Asaburo said with a bitter face: "O Taka-sama, the most important thing at present is that the Imperial Army does not have the strong support of the Imperial Air Force, so that the Huben Army bombers and heavy artillery units can unscrupulously bombard the Imperial Army's defense line along the river. . . . ”

"Then let them blow it up, I don't believe they can't run out of shells! When they run out of shells, the next battle will see what they use to fight the imperial army!"

Otaka Kamezo interrupted with a wave of his hand in disdain, and snorted coldly: "Even if they can destroy some of the ground targets, the Imperial Army of the Great Sun Empire can still beat them to death with the remaining fortifications!

What's more, it is the task of the 21st and 22nd armies to stick to the defense line of the Yellow River, and we don't need to worry about it now! "

At this time, Ide Tetsuzo, the head of the 32nd Division, said aloud: "Your Excellency, what you said is very true. Our main task is to stick to Jinan Prefecture. I believe that the Huben Army will make a big move this time. In addition to breaking through the Yellow River defense line to attack Lu In the Northern Plains, the military target we want to conquer should be Jinan City!"

"Then there is no need to worry! Our Jinan City is impenetrable, with an extremely strong defense system, and a full [-] imperial troops stationed there! We are not afraid of them coming to attack, but we are afraid of them not coming!"

Otaka Kamezo waved his hand confidently.

"..."

Kobayashi Asaburo really didn't know what to say, and he really didn't know where Odaka Kame's courage and confidence came from.

The current situation is very clear, that is, the Huben army is serious this time, and it is definitely not a small fight.

According to Yang Fan's previous battles and style of doing things, it is obvious that he is a master who makes decisions before acting and never fights uncertain battles. This time he will make such a big move, it must not be that simple.

"The engineer pontoon bridge unit began to build a pontoon bridge, dispatched ground attack aircraft and helicopters to take charge of the guard, and the artillery unit was responsible for covering and suppressing fire at any time."

After one or two hours of frenzied bombardment, Song Guoqiang ordered the engineering soldiers to dispatch to erect the pontoon bridge until the devils along the river defense line within a few kilometers of the opposite bank were bombarded so badly that they seemed to be lifeless.

Before Huayuankou broke the embankment, the Yellow River in Qidong County was more than 200 meters wide, but now it is only less than tens of meters wide.

The tidal flats on both sides of the strait have gradually become hard after a long period of drying up, so it is not difficult to build a bridge. Of course, the prerequisite is that they have air supremacy and the Japanese artillery is suppressed.

After the bridge erection order was issued, more than ten heavy construction vehicles drove down the gentle slope.

At the same time, four helicopters and two ground attack aircraft were also dispatched to guard above and deal with any danger that may arise at any time.

After a while, more than ten heavy construction vehicles came to the Yellow River.

thump!thump!

As soon as they arrived at the place, the engineering soldiers jumped out of the carriage, unloaded the pontoon module on the project into the river as quickly as possible, and then began to build the pontoon bridge.

These pontoon bridge modules are all modern bridge construction technology, simple and quick to operate, and can be used by main battle tanks after they are built.

"Nani, what's that?"

"Is it possible to build a floating bridge like this?"

"Baga! Not good, hurry up, organize firepower to destroy immediately!"

After the shelling was over, the devil soldiers on the other side got out of the underground bunkers one after another, lying on the edge of the bombed trenches and preparing to fight.

But soon, they were stunned by the sight in front of them. In just a few minutes, the engineers of the Huaxia Huben Army built a pontoon bridge more than ten meters long and several meters wide, and they were still moving forward at an extremely fast speed. extend.

Chapter 1209 Fire Protection

"Baga, Lu! How could it be like this?"

The leader of the Guizi Division, Maeda Osamu, was a few kilometers away, but he could still clearly see the operation of the Huben Engineers building the pontoon bridge, and he was dumbfounded at once.

Although the Yellow River in Shandong is not as wide as it used to be, it is still tens of meters wide, and the terrain on both sides is much higher than the river, so it can still serve as a natural line of defense.

Osamu Maeda believed that it would not be an easy task for the Huben army to build a pontoon bridge under their noses, and it would not be possible to complete it without one or two hours of operation.

Within one or two hours, the imperial army along the river defense line could have caused great casualties to the Huben Army engineers and delayed the construction of the pontoon bridge to three or four hours, or even longer.

And even if the engineers of the Huben Army paid a heavy price to build a simple pontoon bridge, they could only pass the infantry.

Those infantry crossing the river want to easily break through the Yellow River defense line. In Maeda Zhi's view, they are simply dying. Although the ground defense buildings were severely destroyed by the previous long-term heavy shelling, it is still possible to resist the infantry attack. .

But what was happening in front of him immediately made Maeda Zhi dumbfounded. The speed at which the Huben Army engineers built the pontoon bridge was too fast and amazing.

More importantly, the pontoon bridge that was rapidly taking shape in front of him was obviously not a simple pontoon bridge that he imagined that he could only pass infantry, but maybe he could directly pass armored vehicles or even main battle tanks!

"Baga! Shoot!"

"Baga! Fire the cannon!"

The ghost soldiers on the front line were even more panicked. They all thought that the Huben Army engineers would slowly build a simple pontoon bridge, and they would have enough time to organize defense and counterattack, but they never dreamed that there would be such a showy operation in the world.

For a while, the devil soldiers on the front line panicked and organized their firepower to block the attack. Weapons such as heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, flat-fire guns, and anti-aircraft guns were set up one after another, and they entered the combat state as quickly as possible.

"Damn it, you guys finally showed your heads! Xiao Wang, hurry up and hit me hard!"

The helicopter pilot, Chen Fahui, was on guard above the Yellow River at the moment. When he saw the devil soldiers get out of the underground bunker, he began to set up guns and cannons to organize firepower to counterattack.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

At this time, how could the shooter Wang Tao get used to these ghost soldiers, waiting for them to enter the fighting state calmly?

When Chen Fahui adjusted the nose pointing, Wang Tao directly pressed the fire control switch without saying a word, and violently fired at a devil's trench.

The modified helicopter is equipped with two Vickers 40mm S-type cannons, each of which can fire 100 rounds of armor-piercing projectiles or high-explosive grenades per minute.
