Chapter 535: Let the Fat Baby ground attack aircraft increase its firepower to cover the armored for
Monk Wei's voice came from the intercom: "Captain, I promise you that no matter how much it costs, we will rescue the civilians and will never let the devils and puppet troops hurt them in the slightest."
"Brothers from the first and second battalions, immediately carry your swords and submachine guns and charge with me and the monk. Today we are going to pull out the teeth of the Japanese from an elephant's mouth and let them see how powerful our armored infantry is."
Amid the shouts of Wei Heshang, Li Yunlong ordered the bugler to blow the charge, and the entire armored regiment launched a general offensive at the same time. Vehicles and soldiers all over the mountains attacked the camp where Kondo's regiment was stationed. Fighters in the sky were looking for the right opportunity to attack the Japanese and puppet troops on the ground. The battle directly entered a white-hot level. Both the enemy and our side tried their best to kill the other side.
The only supporting characters on the battlefield were the puppet army. When they saw that the situation was not right, the puppet army commander Ge Erleng immediately ran away with his brothers, which greatly reduced the pressure on the armored regiment.
"Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, immediately deploy your troops and use the firepower mobility of the armored forces. The monk has already led his troops to cut off the civilians and the Japanese. You two must seize this favorable opportunity and defeat the damn Kondo Company in one fell swoop."
"Duan Peng, you better be honest and take good care of our finances. Don't let any of this money get lost. The Japanese are much more powerful than we thought. Just now, three of our tanks and five armored vehicles were blown up by the Japanese. You better open your eyes and don't give the Japanese any chance to get close."
"The transport battalion, follow me immediately and provide the soldiers with ammunition supplies. Hurry up! We must break through the blockade of Kondo Company within an hour."
"Old Zhao, hurry up and comfort the people we rescued. Free up some vehicles for them to get on. We have to leave the enemy camp quickly. We can't waste any more time at this moment."
"College student, have the bomber units leave immediately and start bombing the second blockade of the Japanese. According to my estimation, the Japanese air force has probably already taken off and will arrive at the battlefield in half an hour at most. We must quickly have the bomber units return after dropping their bombs. Also, the Fat Baby Ground Attack Aircraft Squadron cannot stay on the battlefield. After they have used up all their ammunition, have them refuel at the transfer station and then return to the base urgently."
"The Japanese air force is mainly targeting us. Even if they want to chase the returning air force battalion, they won't send many fighter planes. As long as the air force battalion moves fast enough and refuels at the transfer station, it should be able to return to the base safely. This is a risky operation. If it succeeds, we will gain huge benefits."
In order to allow the fighter planes to return safely to the base, Lin Zhenhua proposed a multi-point transfer plan, adding only a small amount of fuel at each transfer station to shorten the replenishment time to ensure the safety of the fighter planes. This was also a helpless solution. If Li Yunlong's previous plan was implemented, except for the heavy bombers, the other fighter planes would run out of fuel halfway. In desperation, Lin Zhenghua could only take the risk and give it a try.
It took Kondo Ichiro half an hour to adjust to the situation, and the tinnitus finally disappeared. He asked anxiously, "Xiao Lin, how is the battle situation at the front?"
Taro Kobayashi bowed with a bitter face and reported: "Colonel, the situation on the front line is very bad. We have lost half of the camp. The civilians we used as our trump card have been successfully rescued by Li Yunlong. The warriors have to launch desperate charges again and again to resist the enemy's armored forces."
"So far, we have blown up a total of 11 enemy tanks and 19 armored vehicles, annihilating about one battalion of the enemy, and our own casualties have exceeded a thousand. If we continue to fight like this, my company is likely to be defeated by the enemy head-on. In just the past ten minutes, we have lost two squadrons of casualties. If the enemy hadn't been eager to leave, our casualties would have increased by at least 2 to 3 times."
"The most infuriating thing is that we have sent three telegrams for help to the headquarters, but we have not received any response so far. I am afraid that we can no longer count on the support from the headquarters. The enemy's fighter planes are fiercely strafing us at low altitudes. I estimate that the more time passes, the greater our casualties will be. Please make plans early, Colonel."
Kondo Ichiro looked at the ground attack aircraft wreaking havoc in the sky with a bitter look on his face. He finally witnessed the power of this kind of ground attack aircraft. Before, because they had a killer weapon, the ground attack aircraft were restricted.
But after the trump card was gone, the ground attack aircraft really showed its power. In just five minutes, it killed a squadron of Japanese soldiers. This efficiency was terrifying. It can be said that wherever it passed, except for a few lucky ones, most of the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops could not escape being killed.
"Kobayashi, keep sending telegrams to the headquarters for help and have the warriors continue to charge. Even if the entire regiment is wiped out, we must hold off the enemy armored regiment for two hours and buy more time for the friendly forces at the second and third blockade lines." Kondo Ichiro gave the order with a fearless attitude.
Taro Kobayashi did not continue to persuade him. He knew that Kondo Ichiro had no other choice. If he could not stop Li Yunlong, it would bring very terrible consequences. This was not something Kondo Ichiro could bear. He would bear the biggest blame, and the final result would be to commit seppuku to apologize.
In order to change the current unfavorable battle situation, Ichiro Kondo took out all his family assets, organized a suicide squad of a thousand people, and launched a counterattack against the assault regiment regardless of casualties. This caused the battle between the two sides to fall into a stalemate in a short period of time.
"Old Li, something is not right. The offensive momentum of our armored regiment has been suppressed by the Japanese. The battle has come to a stalemate. We must break the current situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Japanese support arrives, our armored regiment will be in great danger." Lin Zhenhua reminded anxiously.
Li Yunlong also saw the problem. He put down the binoculars in his hand and ordered in a serious tone: "Order the armored forces to increase their firepower output. They must move and never stay in one place. Give full play to the armored forces' firepower and speed advantages, adopt the tactics of division and encirclement, and eat up the Japanese bit by bit."
"Two infantry battalions will immediately return to support and protect the safety of the armored forces. It is difficult for the armored forces to completely defend against the enemy's suicide attack with their own capabilities. Immediately use infantry and tank coordination tactics to break through the enemy's line. The anti-aircraft battalion will immediately follow up from behind to suppress the enemy's firepower."
"Order the artillery battalion to increase the output of artillery fire and disperse the gathering of the Japanese. As long as the Japanese show the slightest sign of gathering, we will resolutely disperse them. Don't worry about the consumption of ammunition. What we have to do now is to defeat the Kondo Regiment in the shortest possible time and make it completely lose the ability to pursue us. It is useless to just defeat them. The Japanese will soon regroup and pursue us. If we don't fight, it will be fine. Once we fight, we must defeat the Japanese."
"College student, you must immediately order the Fat Baby Ground Attack Aircraft Squadron to provide firepower cover for the ground forces' attack. I have already issued orders to each battalion to distance themselves from the Japanese and puppet troops to create favorable conditions for the support of air fighters."
"Lao Zhao, the transport battalion has not yet passed the simple iron bridge. I'll give you another 20 minutes. Both transport battalions must pass through the trench and enter the enemy's camp. Time waits for no one. If there hadn't been some problems with the ammunition supply ahead, we would have completely taken over the enemy's camp by now."
Zhao Gang directly mobilized the common people to help carry the ammunition, which was then sent to the front line by the soldiers of the transport battalion. This immediately solved the problem of insufficient ammunition supply at the front. The stalemate between the enemy and us was quickly broken. By using powerful firepower output and close infantry-tank coordination tactics, Kondo's regiment's three consecutive attacks were beaten back.
The huge casualties made Kondo Ichiro's heart bleed, but in order to delay more time, he had to order his soldiers to launch another desperate charge to try to resist the steel torrent of the armored regiment. Facts once again proved that Kondo Ichiro's approach was useless. Facing the steel torrent of the armored forces, the remaining more than 1200 Japanese soldiers only persisted for 15 minutes before a large-scale rout occurred, and the spirit of the entire regiment was also dispersed.
"Sir, we only have two squadrons left to mobilize, with less than 400 soldiers. As for the rest, they have long been dispersed by the enemy, and the spirit of the warriors has been destroyed. Now we have only one way, that is to let the wounded cover our tactical transition, otherwise our Kondo Corps may really be wiped out."
"The regiment flag is still in our hands. If we continue fighting, we may need to burn the regiment flag in advance to ensure that it will not be captured by the enemy." Taro Kobayashi bowed his head with a dejected face.
Kondo Ichiro's face was filled with anger, but he could only rage helplessly. He knew that Kobayashi Taro was right, and the situation was much worse than he had imagined. The casualties of the troops had reached 15%, and it was not easy to hold on until now, but he had just received a telegram from the headquarters, asking him to hold on for minutes no matter what. Reinforcements from the air force were on the way, and the Kondo regiment had to stop Li Yunlong's armored regiment at all costs to buy time for the arrival of the air force!
