Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

In the report Hashimoto Ryojo submitted to Watanabe Masaru, he said that the enemy had artillery this time, but Watanabe Masaru didn't take it seriously.

In his opinion, even if the enemy had cannons, they could not be a match for the imperial artillery. Who would have known that just this little negligence would lead to the annihilation of the artillery squadron he brought.

Up to now, the Japanese have lost two squadrons before they have figured out the situation on the other side. Watanabe Masaru has never fought such a frustrating battle.

"Kato-kun, do you think we need to turn in now?"

When Kato Ying heard Watanabe Masaru's question, he knew that his superior did not want to fight, but he still answered,

"Don't worry, Watanabe-kun. The support aircraft from Taiyuan will arrive soon. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they can't escape the bombing!"

"Yoshi, Kato-kun is really clear-headed. What you said makes sense. The enemy would never have thought that we would call for air support."

Watanabe was looking at the clouds in the sky with shining eyes. He seemed to have seen the opposite position being shattered by aerial bombs.

At 5:12 p.m., Watanabe heard the familiar roar of an airplane. He quickly walked out of the tent and looked up at the sky.

"Kato-kun, the sound of the Empire's planes flying across the sky is always so beautiful.

By the way, have you finished marking the ground? Don't delay the bombing, I want to rush to the opposite position to rest before dark!"

Watanabe was looking at the small black dot in the distant sky and shouted in ecstasy.

"Don't worry, Watanabe-kun, all the markings have been done, we're just waiting for the bombers to arrive!"

Watanabe saw that the plane was almost overhead and shouted excitedly,

"Soga! I order the tank squad to move out, and the infantry battalion to follow behind the tanks and quickly advance towards the enemy positions!"

"Hey!" The tank squad leader, infantry battalion leader and others all went out and went to their respective troops to issue orders.

When the scouts in the distance heard the roar of the planes in the sky, they almost simultaneously evacuated to the rear.

The enemy's bombing accuracy is good, but there is no guarantee that there will not be mistakes. It is better to stay away from them, said the Eighth Route Army scout as he ran.

"Sergeant, what's wrong with the Japanese? They haven't even put in any effort to rescue them when they called in a plane. When did they become so afraid of death?

Last time, we fought for several days in Cangyunling, but the Japanese didn't send out any planes! "

The squad leader turned his head and took a deep look at the children's group's position, then said, "Don't you see how badly the Japanese have been beaten? They have just fought for an hour.

The Japanese lost an infantry squadron and an artillery squadron. If they didn't call for air support, Watanabe Masaru would have run away!

What I am worried about is whether the people on the opposite side can escape the bombing of the devils!"

The scouts of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the National Government were also running, and they ran even farther than the scouts of the Eighth Route Army. These people hid 2 kilometers away from the battlefield.

"What kind of people are the enemy troops? How come I have never heard of such a force?

Their firepower is stronger than the Japs, and they are better at artillery battles than the Japs. In just one hour, they killed two Japs squadrons. Even the most elite troops of the National Government cannot match their strength, right?"

The scout of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army patted the Kuomintang scout on the shoulder and asked, the two sides met when they were evacuating the battlefield.

The Kuomintang scout slapped the Shanxi Suiyuan soldier's hand away and said with disdain, "Just talk, don't get close to me!"

"Tsk, you don't even allow people to criticize your cooking!"

"Who the hell are you calling a loser? This is Shanxi Province. Your Jinsui Army was driven into the ravines of Mount Lumeng by the Japanese. How dare you say that about us?"

"Shut up, is this the time to quarrel? Everyone, keep an eye on the situation on the battlefield and report back!" shouted the squad leader of the Kuomintang scouts.

"Is there any need to report this? Once the Japanese planes arrive, the Japanese on the opposite side will surely suffer heavy casualties. I think this battle will be another victory for the Japanese!" said the Kuomintang scout helplessly.

The others were silent when they heard this. Although they didn't quite agree with it in their hearts, they believed that the Japanese flying regiment was indeed powerful.

When everyone thought that the Children's Corps would be badly damaged, Wang Ye stood in the woods, looking through the gaps between the leaves at the approaching Japanese bombers.

He said happily, "I'm waiting for them. Is Zheng Dapao ready?"

"Commander, the communications team has received a telegram from Captain Zheng. He said that the Japanese have four planes coming this time, and he wants to shoot them all down."

Zheng Dapao was the battalion commander of the Nationalist Army's air defense regiment. After he came to the Children's Corps, Wang Ye knew his ability and asked him to lead the artillery battalion. However, the artillery battalion of the Children's Corps was just an empty shell, with no people and no artillery.

It was not until Wang Ye received information that the Japanese might bomb with planes that he borrowed money from the system to exchange for four German-made Type 41 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

Then an artillery company directly under the Children's Corps was urgently formed. However, there were too few people, so they could only build an artillery company.

In the woods in another direction, Zheng Dapao was adjusting the angle of the anti-aircraft gun. He really couldn't let go of the treasure in his hand.

This thing is much more advanced than the Kuomintang’s original anti-aircraft guns. It was precisely because of these guns that he dared to issue a military order.

"Everyone, get to your gun positions and load your shells. When the enemy planes dive, that's when we open fire. Everyone, get ready!"

The Japanese pilots looked at the markers on the ground from high in the sky and felt relieved. They said that after dropping the bombs, they could circle and fire a few rounds.

In the past, all missions were conducted by large-scale troops with dense anti-aircraft firepower, although the risk of being hit had to be considered.

This bombing mission is relatively simple. There are only four bombers in total. How complicated can it be?

The pilots saw the markers becoming more and more conspicuous and knew it was time to dive. The four pilots pulled the joysticks to lower the altitude.

At the same time, the Japanese tank squad on the ground also began to rush towards the children's group position, and the infantry battalion behind it rushed forward excitedly under the cover of the tank squad.

Watanabe Masaru and Kato Toru watched the large army charge with smiles on their faces. Victory was just around the corner. Anyone who dared to go against the Imperial Army would die!

Just as the plane was about to reach the bombing point and the bomb on its belly was already visible, Zheng Dapao's eyes widened and he roared.

"Fire!"

The four 88mm anti-aircraft guns roared almost at the same time, and the metal bullets crossed to form a firepower net, which suddenly appeared on the route of the Japanese plane.

The sudden anti-aircraft firepower made the Japanese pilot crash into the enemy without even having time to parachute.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Four huge explosions were heard. The children's group, the Japanese soldiers, and even the scouts from far away all saw four huge fireworks in the sky.

The Eighth Route Army scouts murmured with the firelight reflected in their eyes, "It's beautiful!"
