Chapter 730 Captured
Chapter 730 Captured
At this time, many puppet soldiers were carrying water manually at the positions of Qingfeng City and Qingshan City.
Although the Japanese had pumps, the ground inside the trenches, air-raid shelters, and bunkers was all mud. After being washed by heavy rain, the water contained a lot of silt.
The pump was blocked by silt after just a few strokes.
The Japanese and puppet troops had to carry water manually to transport the mud and water out of the trenches, air-raid shelters and bunkers.
Suddenly, seeing an airplane in the distance, the Japanese quickly sounded the air raid alarm.
When the alarm sounded, all the Japanese and puppet troops ran into the air-raid shelters and bunkers.
The Japanese soldiers on the anti-aircraft position quickly shook the barrel of the anti-aircraft gun.
"Bakayarro, the plane is too high, beyond our maximum range!"
"Damn it! At an altitude of over 20 meters, our mm anti-aircraft guns can't reach us at all!"
"Hurry into the air-raid shelter!"
The Japanese anti-aircraft soldiers had no choice but to run into the air-raid shelter while cursing angrily.
"Ju yi..."
Bombs fell from the sky one after another.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Bombs fell one after another and exploded on the Japanese positions.
The positions were instantly engulfed by artillery fire.
The flames were burning fiercely, and the painful cries of the Japanese and puppet soldiers could be heard from inside.
This is Yuan Shuai’s incendiary bomb.
After all, the hit rate of high-altitude bombing is not very high.
In order to increase the lethality, Yuan Shuai loaded all the planes with incendiary bombs.
Many of the Japanese devils' outer positions in Qingfeng City and Qingshan City were burning with flames.
Although many Japanese soldiers hiding in air-raid shelters and bunkers were not killed by the explosion or burning, they were suffocated to death.
Because when incendiary bombs burn, they consume a lot of oxygen in the air.
Oxygen in the air inside the bunkers and air-raid shelters was scarce, and the Japanese and puppet troops were deprived of oxygen and suffocated to death.
In those places in the county that had not been bombed, many Japanese and puppet troops could feel the heat blowing in the wind from a long distance away.
Looking at the sea of fire, the Japanese brigade commander Higashikawa Shojima was so angry that his face turned blue and veins on his forehead bulged.
"Bagaya way! Bagaya way!"
Although they have 80mm anti-aircraft guns.
But there are not many of them, and because they have occupied too much territory, there are not enough 80mm anti-aircraft guns to be distributed.
Therefore, in each of the two county towns, there was only one 80mm anti-aircraft gun position in the center of the city to prevent the enemy from conducting high-altitude bombing on their county town bases.
Moreover, the anti-aircraft guns on other air defense positions are all 20mm anti-aircraft guns.
At this time, their 80mm anti-aircraft guns were already prepared for air defense.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shuai's plane was far away from the range of the 80mm anti-aircraft guns, and their 80mm anti-aircraft guns could not hit it at all.
But Yuan Shuai and others were laughing happily.
"Happy, happy!"
"Now the devils know how powerful our Allied bombers are!"
"Boss, why don't we just go to the county town and bomb it, and blow up the enemy's headquarters in the county town!"
Someone got too excited and made a suggestion.
"If you don't want to go back for dinner, go by yourself and don't drag the rest of us down with you!"
Yuan Shuai snorted coldly.
"Everyone, return to the ship immediately. Anyone who disobeys the order will be expelled from the allied forces!"
The order was given for all aircraft to return quickly.
On the other hand, the British and American troops have also received the news.
Faced with the fact that General Yuan kept winning battles, they remained idle, even though they could let General Yuan fight the Japanese and consume his ammunition, leaving them with more ammunition to sell to him.
But they are also soldiers.
Soldiers all want to win battles and make a name for themselves.
Finally, both the British and American troops could no longer sit still.
American Brigadier General Wallace Towell immediately called British Brigadier General Remhardt.
After some negotiation, the two men each dispatched ten fighter planes and three bombers, and flew towards Qiucheng together.
They hoped to use planes to destroy Qiucheng's defensive positions, and then send infantry to attack and occupy Qiucheng.
Similarly, British and American planes were flying at an altitude of 8,000 meters, carrying out frantic bombing on the outer positions of Qiucheng.
Many of the Japanese's outer formations turned into a sea of fire.
"Hahaha, well done!"
“The bombing should have happened long ago!”
"That's right! If those guys weren't only thinking about making money, we would have bombed them long ago!"
"Don't bomb them anymore. Directly bomb the enemy's county headquarters. Bombing their headquarters will paralyze their command and dispatch!"
The flight formation leader followed the orders given by his brigade commander and bombed the outer positions first.
If there are no 80mm anti-aircraft guns to attack the planes, then fly over and bomb the Japanese county headquarters.
This is also a decapitation operation.
If the command center was bombed, the Japanese communications would be paralyzed, and even many commanders would be killed.
By then, the Japanese will become headless flies and a group of scattered sand.
Their ground forces could drive their tanks forward in a swagger and capture Qiucheng in one fell swoop.
However, there is also an 80mm anti-aircraft artillery position inside Qiucheng.
The Japanese artillery had already been prepared.
Seeing the plane coming into range, all anti-aircraft guns opened fire.
12 anti-aircraft guns attacked frantically.
A series of shells flew high into the sky.
"Fuck you! It's an 80mm anti-aircraft gun!"
"Dodge the shells!"
"Fuck you, I'm shot!"
"I got shot too!"
"Retreat quickly, retreat!"
All the planes were so frightened that they turned around and evacuated.
But five planes were still hit and fell to the ground, emitting black smoke.
The pilot quickly parachuted.
The Japanese did not shoot at the parachuting guys, but predicted the direction, arranged for the infantry to move out quickly, and captured the five pilots alive.
Not only that, the Japs used these five pilots as a threat to force the British and American troops not to attack them, otherwise they would shoot the five prisoners.
Originally, both the British and American armies had made preparations.
The ground forces' tanks and artillery are ready.
But something unexpected happened to the plane and the Japanese also called. Remhard and Wallace Hall were so angry that they gritted their teeth and cursed, but there was nothing they could do.
The two had no choice but to give up their plan to attack Qiu City.
The news soon reached Yuan Shuai.
The pilots who wanted to bomb the county base gathered together to complain about this matter.
"Damn it, I really don't know what the boss is thinking!"
"If we fly over there, we can definitely blow up the enemy's county headquarters!"
"The enemy troops must have suffered heavy casualties! If we bomb their headquarters, we can capture two counties in one fell swoop!"
"That's right, the boss is too conservative!"...
"I just heard the news that when the American and British troops went to bomb the Qiucheng base camp, the Japanese 80mm anti-aircraft guns shot down five planes and captured five pilots alive!"
"The devils used prisoners as threats, and the British and American troops dared not move again!"
"what!……"
"Damn it, luckily we didn't go to bomb the enemy's base in the county, otherwise..."
When the pilots heard the news, cold sweats broke out on their backs.
Secretly thankful that their boss stopped them.
Otherwise, they would have been like the British and American pilots, with their planes shot down and their men captured...
