Chapter 534 The damn Japanese used my surname as a shield. They are worse than animals.
Under Li Yunlong's order, more than 200 soldiers from the armored regiment's maintenance company quickly inspected the vehicles to ensure that they would not break down when the attack began. The independent regiment's air force battalion, which received the order, also acted very quickly and immediately mobilized all the fighter planes available in the base to help the armored regiment break through the enemy's encirclement.
"Liu Haishan, the ground crew has already refueled and loaded the fighter planes with ammunition. You must immediately lead the fighter unit and set off first to escort the bomber group behind." Kong Jie gave the order with a serious face.
Liu Haishan's neck turned red as he shouted, "All fighter pilots, board the planes immediately and escort the bomber group. Hurry up! We must complete the takeoff formation within half an hour."
With the help of eight hydraulic catapults, 25 fighter jets successfully took off from Maoershan Airport in just 20 minutes. After a simple formation in the air, they flew rapidly towards Qingyuan Town.
The bomber unit and the ground attack aircraft unit used the runway in the base to quickly complete the taxiing and takeoff. They followed closely behind the fighter unit and rushed to Qingyuan Town at the highest speed to provide reinforcements. They arrived over Qingyuan Town before three o'clock in the afternoon.
"College student, my name is Liu Haishan. We have arrived above Qingyuan Town and can launch an airstrike on the Japanese troops stationed below at any time. Please give the combat orders." After connecting with the ground, Liu Haishan asked excitedly.
In order to ensure smooth communication, all six communication command vehicles were put into operation, which enabled the command center to directly issue orders to the company level, making it easier for Li Yunlong to command.
"Lao Li, you will be in charge of commanding the ground forces, and I will be in charge of the air force battalion. It will be three o'clock in ten minutes. We will launch the attack on time according to the previous plan."
Lin Zhenhua turned around and said something to Li Yunlong, then picked up the intercom handed over by Xiao Zhongyuan and ordered in a serious tone: "Captain Liu, your fighter unit should not participate in the attack on the Japanese on the ground. You have a more important task to do, which is to ensure the safety of the bomber group and the ground attack group at all costs."
"Xiao Zhongyuan, immediately switch the frequency to the public channel for me. I need to give orders to the bomber unit and the ground attack aircraft unit."
Xiao Zhongyuan immediately made an OK gesture, indicating that he had tuned the radio to the public channel. Lin Zhenhua held the intercom tightly in his hand and ordered in a serious tone: "The first heavy bomber group and the first light bomber group are responsible for bombing the left wing of the Japanese. The second heavy bomber group and the second light bomber group are responsible for bombing the right wing of the Japanese. The ground attack group will immediately launch a carpet attack on the Japanese camp to cover the armored regiment to break out of the encirclement."
After arranging the next attack of the air force battalion, Lin Zhenhua handed the intercom to Li Yunlong, who took it immediately. The young champion quickly completed the frequency hopping of the radio and made an OK gesture to Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong immediately understood and ordered in a stern tone: "All battalion commanders, listen carefully to me. I have important combat orders to issue."
"In order to ensure that the battle plan will not be leaked, I will announce the complete battle plan five minutes before the battle. The hiding place of our armored regiment has been discovered by the devils. Next, we must break through the three blockades of the devils in a very short time. In order to ensure the safety of the brothers, in the next breakout operation, if the vehicles are damaged, they will be abandoned directly. We don't have any time to repair them. The troops will not slow down the march just because a few vehicles are down. The next march must emphasize speed."
"The artillery battalion will continue to provide artillery cover for the troops. The armored forces will continue to launch assaults on the enemy positions according to the tactics they have implemented before. The anti-aircraft battalion will no longer be responsible for offensive missions and will be responsible for the air defense of the troops. The bridge-laying troops must complete the construction of the simple bridge within 15 minutes and ensure that all vehicles can pass through the trench within an hour."
Li Yunlong did not learn from Ichiro Nakamura how his hiding place was exposed, which made him wonder if a Japanese spy had infiltrated the team. For safety reasons, he had to adopt such a confidential method. Although this would have some impact on the speed of the troops' breakout, he had to do so for safety reasons.
Five minutes passed quickly. Wang Chengzhu, who had been staring at his pocket watch, saw the hour and minute hands pointing to three o'clock. He shouted angrily, "It's time to attack. The heavy mortar and heavy artillery companies will immediately bombard the enemy's frontline positions. The rocket launcher company will immediately fire in unison to clear obstacles for the attacking troops."
At Wang Chengzhu's command, the heavy mortars and 105mm heavy howitzers, which had been prepared for the bombardment, launched the bombardment against Kondo's regiment as soon as the flag was waved. The 24 soldiers of the rocket artillery company pressed the button at the first moment, and 96 rockets flew out from the guide rails like arrows from a bow, flying towards Kondo's regiment's base.
Dozens of seconds later, a violent explosion occurred in the Kondo Regiment's camp, which made the Japanese and puppet troops in the camp confused for a moment. They never expected to be suddenly attacked.
Kondo Ichiro, who knew the inside story very well, knew that something was wrong the moment he heard the sound of artillery fire. The rat-catching operation might have been leaked, otherwise Li Yunlong would not have broken out at this time.
"Damn it! Damn Li Yunlong, he actually launched a breakout at this time. The reinforcements promised to me by the headquarters have not arrived yet. I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop Li Yunlong's attack with the strength of my Kondo Corps alone. It seems that I can only use my trump card in advance."
"Mr. Imai, immediately send the thousands of people we captured to the battlefield. I want to see if Li Yunlong dares to attack his own compatriots."
"Mr. Nakano, you must lead your troops to support us immediately. We must not let Li Yunlong break through our blockade. Now is not the time for a decisive battle. With the strength of our regiment, we cannot stop the enemy's attack. What we need to do is to delay time."
"Xiao Lin, send a telegram to the headquarters immediately to inform them of our current situation and request nearby reinforcements and aviation forces to come to reinforce us. Otherwise, our wing can only hold out for two hours at most and will be forced to abandon the position."
Before Ichiro Kondo could finish his words, the humming sound of engines was heard in the sky, followed by dozens of bombs being dropped from the air. After they landed, there was a violent explosion. One of the bombs was so close to the headquarters that even Ichiro Kondo was affected. The headquarters was blown down to the ground.
With the rescue of the soldiers, Kondo Ichiro luckily escaped, but the explosion caused him great physical damage. He had tinnitus in his ears and could not hear what his subordinates were saying at all.
"Bagayalu! I can't hear anything right now because of the tinnitus. Immediately send all the troops to the front line, and send those Chinese civilians to the front positions. No matter what the cost, we have to stop the enemy armored regiment for two hours."
"Also, report our situation to the Taiyuan Headquarters and request the Commander to send aviation forces to assist us."
Under the command of Kondo Ichiro, more than 2000 Japanese soldiers and thousands of puppet troops escorted more than 900 civilians to the position. The ground attack aircraft brigade descended to 500 meters above the ground and discovered the presence of many civilians through observation and aiming equipment, and immediately connected with Lin Zhenhua for emergency communication.
"College students, we have just made a major discovery. A large number of Japanese devils and puppet troops are driving thousands of civilians towards the frontline positions. It is expected that they will arrive at the positions in five minutes. College students, please give the order to attack!" Wu Xiaoshan asked eagerly.
Lin Zhenhua had not expected the Japanese to be so despicable. He had only a dozen seconds to make a decision. He ordered in a serious tone, "Captain Wu, you will immediately lead the team to suppress the firepower on the Japanese positions and help the main force pass through the enemy's defensive positions as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about the rest. I will notify the regiment commander immediately and let him handle the matter."
Wu Xiaoshan immediately led a brigade of ground attack aircraft and launched a surprise attack in the direction of the Japanese positions. Using their fierce firepower, they firmly suppressed the Japanese and puppet troops on the positions, making it impossible for them to raise their heads.
"Old Li, the Japanese have captured thousands of civilians to dig trenches, and now they are sending them to the battlefield to use as human shields. They have very vicious intentions. You must quickly give orders to the troops on the front line, telling them to be careful when attacking and never hurt the civilians." Lin Zhenhua reminded anxiously.
When Li Yunlong heard the news, he was furious. He had never thought that the Japanese would be so despicable. He immediately picked up the telescope and looked around. He soon discovered that more than a dozen civilians were being escorted by the Japanese and puppet troops. He was so angry that he cursed, "Damn Japanese, they say they are warriors every day, but what they do is really shameless."
"Xiao Zhongyuan, get in touch with Monk Wei immediately. This time, I will pull out a tooth from an elephant's mouth and let the Japanese see how powerful I, Li Yunlong, am."
"Monk, you must bring two mechanized infantry battalions with you immediately. Use the simple bridges built by the engineering company to cross the trenches dug by the Japanese and rescue all the captured civilians. If you fail to complete the mission, I will chop off your head!"
