Chapter 454 The airborne night attack begins (the second chapter is here today)(1/2)
The operational flagship command room of the Japanese Third Fleet, the armored cruiser Notoro.
Because the Izumo armored cruiser was damaged by Liu Feiyang's command, it has not been repaired yet. Therefore, the Notoro armored cruiser can only be used as the flagship for the time being.
In fact, the original Notoro armored cruiser was always used as the flagship.
"Bagayalu! Why does the China Army still have so many flying corps?"
"There are actually extra flying teams to attack the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters?"
"Immediately send me a group of aircraft to carry out support operations! In addition, immediately notify Yamamoto Isoroku, who is bombing the China Army, and the Navy Chief of Military Affairs, Rear Admiral Inoue Narumi, and ask their aviation forces to go back to support the headquarters immediately. This time the China attack
The military aircraft are all the latest aircraft!"
When Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa of the Third Fleet received an urgent request for help from the Central China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters, he suddenly looked incredulous and said angrily.
Then a series of orders for combat operations were quickly issued.
Soon, Japanese planes one after another took off from the airports behind the Third Fleet and the nearby Japanese planes. Especially the airports close to the Japanese-occupied areas in Xuzhou were taking off even more rapidly.
A group of Japanese planes went to rescue General Hata Shunroku, the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Force.
...
...
At this time, after bombing the positions of the 2nd Corps, Yamamoto Isoroku and the Navy Chief of Military Affairs, Rear Admiral Inoue Narumi, also received urgent communications from the Commander of the Third Fleet, Kiyoshi Hasegawa.
They also immediately learned of the critical situation at the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters.
"Damn it! These Chinese flying teams are so cunning. They dare to bomb our headquarters!"
"Let's go back to support the headquarters side! Otherwise, if something happens to Commander Shunroku Hata, I'm afraid that all the face of our Imperial Army will be lost, and it will become the ridicule of the great powers around the world.
Target!"
When Isoroku Yamamoto became aware of the dangerous situation at the headquarters, he looked gloomy and immediately used the airborne radio to speak to the Chief of Naval Affairs, Rear Admiral Narumi Inoue.
"Yeah! I think so too!"
"However, our ammunition has been exhausted. Even if we go back for rescue now, we still need to find an airport nearby to replenish our consumed ammunition. Otherwise, our trip will be in vain, and we may even die!"
However, the Chief of Naval Affairs, Rear Admiral Narumi Inoue, had mixed feelings and responded.
"..."
Yamamoto Isoroku.
Regarding the issue of running out of ammunition, he actually forgot about it for a while.
Because all their aerial bombs and airborne ammunition were used up when attacking and bombing the National Army's 2nd Corps.
For this reason, Yamamoto Isoroku is also very puzzled now.
"Quickly contact the nearby airport for us, let their logistics prepare ammunition, and let us resupply!"
"If there is not enough ammunition supply nearby, then we can only temporarily go back to our departure airport, and Ali will resupply ammunition! Otherwise, we will not be able to fight!"
"Also inform Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa of the Third Fleet that we are out of ammunition! So that he can dispatch more aircraft groups with sufficient ammunition to support the headquarters of the Central China Expedition Force!"
"As for us, we have to speed up and go back to resupply ammunition immediately!"
After wondering for a moment, Yamamoto Isoroku quickly issued the order.
"Yes! I will immediately notify the commander of the Third Fleet, Kiyoshi Hasegawa, to support the headquarters of the Central China Expedition Force and rescue Admiral Hata Shunroku!"
After hearing this, the Navy Chief of Military Affairs, Rear Admiral Inoue Narumi, immediately nodded in agreement.
Then, the two of them also quickly commanded their aviation forces to return to the original departure airport, replenish ammunition, and notify the logistics personnel on the other side to immediately prepare the ammunition they needed.
...
...
By this time, the sky had begun to darken, and night had fallen.
However, the parachute troops under Liu Feiyang, who had successfully completed the airborne landing, were also rapidly moving towards the location of the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters and the location of the Japanese 13th Division.
"Fire ten salvos and launch an artillery attack!"
After giving the order, and having come into close combat with the Japanese soldiers who had been stunned by the bombing of the 13th Division, Liu Feiyang's troops with small-caliber mortars immediately set up their mortar positions, and then quickly
put grenades into the barrels of their mortars.
And under the loud orders of the mortar captain Li Guangming, the shelling was carried out.
“Boom boom!!!”
“Boom boom!!!”
“Boom boom!!!”
...
...
In an instant, more than twenty lightweight small-caliber mortars fired at once, and then multiple grenades flew out of the barrel quickly, dragging their tail flames towards the Japanese bombs that were bombarded by the group of aviation bombs.
On the battlefield soaring to the sky.
Among the large number of grenades flying out, there were illumination bombs, incendiary bombs, and ordinary anti-personnel bombs.
In the blink of an eye, a mortar grenade group and a batch of incendiary bomb groups quickly roared and bombed the Japanese position that was already full of corpses bombed by aerial bomb groups.
"Hurry, hurricane, hurricane..."
"Hurry, hurricane, hurricane..."
"Hurry, hurricane, hurricane..."
Illumination bombs fell slowly and slowly from the sky one after another. The illuminating agent burned and burst into dazzling white light. The light instantly illuminated various Japanese positions of the 13th Division on the ground.
Moreover, before the Japanese officers and soldiers of the 13th Division, a strong white light suddenly lit up from the sky, dazzling the Japanese troops on the position one after another.
"Baga!!!"
"Baga! The Chinese army's army also came to attack us?"
"Fight back quickly!"
"Counterattack! Let us take revenge for the bombing by their flying team!"
Being hit by such a sudden attack and illuminated by flares, the Japanese soldiers in the entire position immediately closed their eyes after being exposed to the strong light, and then opened their eyes again, all angrily, while evading and counterattacking.
, while cursing.
However, there were still many Japs at the front who were fighting hand-to-hand with Liu Feiyang's troops. However, because they had no time to react, they were killed by the incendiary bombs and anti-personnel bombs of Liu Feiyang's mortar group.
The group was hit by frontal bombing.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
"Boom, boom, boom boom!!!"
For a time, a large number of incendiary bombs and anti-personnel bombs exploded all around the artillery position. Especially those incendiary bombs exploded all over quickly, and then the blazing flames quickly spread on the Japanese frontline positions.
Come on.
However, since the first round of bombardment was only carried out without the illumination of flares, the accuracy was still somewhat inaccurate. Although some Japanese soldiers were injured, the number was still not very large.
Therefore, as the illumination bomb group under Liu Feiyang's command continued to rise into the sky and illuminate the dark night, the Japanese artillerymen of the small-caliber mortar group under Liu Feiyang's command also quickly fired at the mortar positions they had set up.
Adjust the angle of the mortar and conduct precise shelling again to attack the Japanese troops.
“Boom boom!!!”
“Boom boom!!!”
"Boom boom boom!!!"
"Boom, boom, boom boom!!!"
…
…
In just a short moment, waves of incendiary bombs and mortar shells came over again with great force. The dense shells were like a violent storm, crashing wildly and costlessly, bombarding the surroundings of the Japanese troops' positions.
The shells exploded continuously, making bursts of deafening explosions, and then bursts of artillery fire, mercilessly ravaging the officers and soldiers of the Japanese troops.
The artillery shells and incendiary bombs launched in this artillery attack were relatively accurate and bombed the Japanese positions of the 13th Division, exploding with rumbles and killing people.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
"Ah, ah, ah..."
"Uh, ah, ah..."
…
…
The Japanese officers and soldiers who stood on the front line were quickly blown up by these precise groups of incendiary bombs and grenades, and screamed loudly.
