Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 770 Three Weeks Have Arrived

770 Three Weeks Have Expired

Whoosh whoosh!

Napalm bombs were still being dropped horizontally from high altitudes by bombers.

On the ground below, the marching troops of more than 40 people of the Japanese th Division stretched for several kilometers like a giant centipede.

At this moment, this giant centipede will soon feel the feeling of being burned and fried.

Boom boom boom!

On the ground, the napalm bombs that fell from the sky exploded one after another.

Many Japanese soldiers around were killed on the spot, but they were only a minority.

More soldiers were blown up by petrol bombs and were covered with the splashing flames.

Soon he turned into a man of fire, running around screaming.

"idiot!

Why do these Chinese bombers fly so high?

Why can't our anti-aircraft guns hit them?

And our fighter jets, why haven't they arrived yet?"

The Japanese division commander Aoki Shiro yelled at the top of his lungs, but the Japanese officers behind him quickly protected him and helped him find a hiding place.

Along the way, they also saw the exploding napalm bombs and the deadly Japanese soldiers.

Looking at the screaming fire men, they just felt their scalps tingling.

Even the Japanese division commander Aoki Jōichi, who was shouting wildly, gradually calmed down.

"Baga, what kind of bomb is this?"

The Japanese division commander Aoki Shiroichi asked loudly.

But unfortunately, none of the other devils around him could answer his question.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we have never seen this kind of flaming bomb.

This should be the new type of bomb that Ye Qingshan got from the Americans.

This bomb is really vicious.

If any fire gets on our soldiers, it cannot be extinguished.

The more you roll and tumble on the ground, the bigger the flames will grow.

Even jumping into the water won’t extinguish these flames.”

An old Japanese soldier from Aoki Castle found a ditch and hid from the bomb for a while.

A Japanese colonel also rushed over in a panic and reported the situation to him.

Rumble!

At this moment, the B17 and B24 bombers in the sky were still flying north and dropping napalm bombs.

They wanted to bomb this huge marching force of the Japanese from beginning to end.

Achieve the greatest killing effect.

Buzz!

Finally, more than ten minutes later, a large number of Japanese Zero fighters appeared in the northern sky.

The Japanese Zero fighters took off from the rear airport and flew at high speed for twenty minutes.

They finally arrived at the battlefield.

"Baga, kill those damn Chinese bombers."

The Japanese lieutenant colonel who was leading the navigator looked at the ground in front of him and saw a scene that looked like a sea of ​​fire.

He suddenly became angry and made attacking gestures to the other Japanese Zero fighter pilots.

"Johnson, throw away all the incendiary bombs you have.

You can return home now.”

Meng Jifei spoke to Johnson, who was commanding the bomber formation, on the communication channel.

Immediately switched to the fighter formation's communication channel.

He continued to shout: "All soldiers of Fighter Squadron 1, follow me."

Meng Jifei was very clear that when he sent the second team to the north, they were responsible for intercepting the Japanese fighter planes coming from the north.

There are also these Japanese Zero fighters flying here.

That means these Japanese Zero fighters broke through the interception of the Second Fighter Squadron.

To be here.

These should be the main force of the Japanese reinforcement fighter formation, and he can only deal with it personally.

Soon, Meng Jifei led a team of other fighter pilots and rushed forward to fight against the Japanese elite Zero fighter pilots.

There was a fierce aerial fight.

Johnson immediately ordered the other bombers: "Hurry, we haven't finished dropping the incendiary bombs yet.

Throw down all the incendiary bombs immediately.

Then we can return home.”

Their mission is to drop bombs, and after dropping the bombs, they will leave without looking back.

Boom boom boom!

The bombs that these two heavy bombers of the Japanese can carry are measured in tons.

He is really good at pretending.

If I throw it up now, it will take an unusually long time.

Finally, the last incendiary bomb was dropped by a B17.

Johnson immediately issued an order: "All pilots, control your bombers and prepare to return immediately."

Soon, these bombers began to turn in mid-air and flew south.

"Baga, the Chinese bombers are trying to escape.

Hurry, catch up with them, don't let them get away."

After seeing this scene, the Japanese flight commander was also very anxious and shouted loudly in the cockpit.

More Japanese Zero fighters tried desperately to get rid of the interference of pilots like Meng Jifei.

They wanted to attack the Japanese Zero fighter pilots of the B17 and B24 that were flying away.

It’s a pity that Meng Jifei and his team were also trying their best to hold them back.

The main fighter planes of the Japanese that rushed to the battlefield were basically intercepted by Meng Jifei and his men.

There were still two Japanese Zero fighters that flew very close to Johnson's group of heavy bombers.

"Kill them, kill these damn Chinese bombers."

The Japanese pilot roared.

Of course, they also knew that the bombing just now by this bomber had an impact on the march of their ground offensive forces.

What a lot of trouble it caused.

In this case, if they don't retaliate.

It will only make the Chinese feel that the strength of their empire is declining rapidly again.

That is absolutely not allowed.

Therefore, the Japanese Zero fighter pilots also fought very hard.

The battle with Meng Jifei's fighter formation was fierce, and fighter planes from both sides were constantly shot down.

On the ground, the marching troops of the Japanese 40th Division completed the task in a very short time.

After being bombed by so many napalm bombs, the situation was now horrific.

The place was in a mess, with many bodies of Japanese soldiers burned to death.

Lying on the ground in a mess.

Even some Japanese officers were no exception.

Compared with the dead Japanese soldiers, the injured ones were countless.

The painful cries of the Japanese soldiers could be heard everywhere.

The mortality rate of these incendiary bombs may not be as high as that of other aerial bombs, but the injury rate is simply terrifying.

When the bombing was over, only a few hundred Japanese soldiers were killed.

However, the number of Japanese soldiers who were burned reached three to four thousand.

This is also one of the main reasons why Ye Qingshan asked the bomber formation to replace today's bombs with napalm bombs.

Ye Qingshan wanted to cause a large number of casualties to the Japanese through this bombing.

This will slow down the enemy's march and buy them more time to defend.

Everyone knows that a wounded soldier needs the assistance of at least two intact infantrymen when marching.

Therefore, as long as an army has many wounded soldiers, the marching speed of this army will not be able to be fast.

What's more, this time, almost all of the Japanese wounded suffered burns.

These burns are no worse than other knife and gunshot wounds, although the mortality rate is slightly lower.

But the Japanese soldiers who were burned, not to mention their feet and legs,

If your arms or other parts of your body are burned, the pain will be unbearable when the burned skin rubs against it while walking.

The Japanese 40th Division currently has only about troops rushing to Guangdong Province.

Now, with three to four thousand casualties at once, they have completely lost the ability to continue marching and fighting.

To take care of these wounded soldiers, the 40th Division of about people basically lost the ability to continue fighting.

When Aoki Shiroichi was protected by the Japanese officers and walked out of the ditch where he was hiding.

Looking at the tragic scene around him, his face suddenly became as gloomy as water.

They knew they were in big trouble now.

More than 40 kilometers away, the commander of the elite th Division of the Japanese army, Shiro Inaba, learned of the tragic fate of the th Division.

I was also very scared.

He immediately issued an order for all the Japanese in their division to hide.

Abandoned the daytime march.

"Your Excellency, I heard that the 40th Division suffered heavy losses.

Not only were all the baggage and supplies they carried burned.

The main thing is that there were a large number of casualties on their side.

It was unknown what kind of bombs Ye Qingshan bought from Britain and the United States.

The bombs they dropped this time were a special type of incendiary bomb.

Once the fire started on the soldiers, it could not be extinguished.

As a result, many soldiers in the 40th Division were burned, and now they can no longer move forward.

Division Commander Aoki contacted us, hoping to borrow our division's medical resources to support them.

Moreover, let us take over from them and go south to Guangdong first.”

During the march of the Japanese Sixth Division, a Japanese major general found the commander of the Sixth Division, Shiro Inaba, and reported the matter.

Inaba Shiro pushed his glasses and said with disdain, “Aoki-kun, you are still so reckless.

I told him a long time ago to be careful and cautious.

Ye Qingshan is not so easy to deal with.

I also don't believe that even the old fox Matsui fell into his hands.

He thinks he is better than Matsui?

Now it’s okay, you don’t listen to me.

What bad luck!

But sarcasm is just sarcasm, and Shiro Inaba knows it.

The 40th Division is already in this situation.

Their Sixth Division had to take over the mission and enter Guangdong first.

“Send a telegram to Aoki-kun.

Tell him to delay their journey by two days.

We took over their division and entered Guangdong first.

But next, we must march more carefully, preferably at night.

We will not leave until our air force fighters arrive during the day.

We would rather arrive later than give Ye Qingshan another chance to attack us from the air."

"Hi!"

Shiro Inaba quickly arrived at the place where the 40th Division was attacked by air force.

Originally, when he heard his chief of staff report that the 40th Division was attacked by incendiary bombs, he could not fully understand the tragic scene described.

When he arrived at the scene, he realized how miserable the Japanese 40th Division was.

The entire field hospital of the Japanese 40th Division was now overcrowded.

The screams of burned Japanese soldiers were heard everywhere.

Generally, no one cares about those who are burned, and they can only stand there screaming and holding on.

Because the Japanese doctors needed to rescue those Japanese soldiers who were severely burned first.

"Baga, so many wounded soldiers!"

Shiro Inada was also shocked.

I finally understood why the 40th Division, with more than men, was unable to march so easily.

…………

Soon, Ye Qingshan received the news and learned that Meng Jifei and his team's air raid was successful.

"Ha ha!

Meng Jifei and his team succeeded.

In the daytime air raid, they lost fourteen fighter planes.

The bombing of the marching troops of the Japanese 40th Division was completed.

Now, the Japanese 40th Division can no longer move forward. "

Ye Qingshan looked at the telegram in his hand and felt very comfortable.

"Commander, can we continue this kind of airstrike?"

The young martial artist next to him asked.

Ye Qingshan shook his head: "No, the Japs will definitely be prepared next time.

It will be difficult to carry out such a sneak attack again.

In order to prepare for this air raid, I paralyzed the Japanese for more than half a month.

Next, we even have to guard against retaliation from the Japanese Air Force.

It is impossible for the Japs to suffer such a huge loss and remain indifferent. "

The same thing Ye Qingshan thought.

After the two old Japanese soldiers, Itagaki Seishirō and Anami Korechika, learned the news.

He directly scolded the commander of the Japanese flying regiment in the rear.

Order them to send out fighter jets and bombers continuously starting from tomorrow.

Provide cover for the Japanese marching troops on the front line.

At the same time, the Kuomintang troops in northern Guangdong were bombed as retaliation for this air raid.

That’s how it is, because the Japanese Sixth Division still has to be on guard against air raids from Ye Qingshan at all times.

This greatly slowed down their marching speed.

It was not until the 15th that the main force of the Japanese 6th Division finally joined forces with the vanguard troops of the three Japanese brigades on the front line.

The rendezvous was completed.

"Your Excellency General."

When these Japanese brigade commanders saw the commander of the 6th Division, Inaba Shiro, they bowed one by one.

"Okay, integrate your soldiers.

Starting tonight, we will launch a strong attack on the Chinese troops in the Shaoguan area.

If you don't behave well again this time.

No one can save you.”

Shiro Inaba was not very satisfied with the performance of these Japanese brigade commanders.

As soon as I took over the command, I asked them to organize the soldiers and start the attack.

But the main elite forces of his Sixth Division did not intend to participate in the attack.

He let the elite troops of his division rest first.

According to his plan, these three brigades would attack the Shaoguan front for two days and exhaust the defending Kuomintang troops.

His Sixth Division would then take over the attack and try to capture the position here in one fell swoop.

After the three Japanese brigade commanders returned, they began to organize an attack that night.

Boom boom boom!

Ye Qingshan stood on a hillside in the south of the city, looking at the night sky in the north illuminated by the Japanese artillery fire.

As well as the rumbling sound coming from Shaoguan City, he said to the young warrior behind him: "The Sixth Division, one of the main forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese.

He arrived first.

Following them came a heavy artillery regiment and a mountain artillery regiment of the Japanese.

This time, the Japs' artillery firepower is stronger than ours."

“However, we can’t just passively take a beating.

Tell the rocket artillery regiment not to take action for the time being.

Let the howitzer regiment support the defenders in combat.

Once our reconnaissance troops find the enemy's heavy artillery positions, we'll let them directly wipe out the enemy.

Kill off the Japs' heavy artillery regiment.

Let the little devils show off to me."

Ye Qingshan knew that in an artillery battle, the rocket artillery regiment on his side would not be able to gain any advantage over the Japanese heavy artillery regiment.

But if they launched a wave attack, the Japanese heavy artillery were no match for them.

(It’s too late, too late!)
