A large number of bombers, fighter jets, and transport aircraft were mobilized in that direction to support operations.
But this time it was different. They were very vicious against the Japanese troops outside Langfang City.
In such a long time, three waves have been dispatched, and the bombing scale of each wave is not small.
The Japanese soldiers were also aware of the danger. Of course, they knew very well that if the enemy on the opposite side bombed them at this time, it must be to block their attack on Zhaozhuang.
However, what these Japanese troops did not expect was that the current round of bombing was not to block their attack on Zhaozhuang, but to cooperate with the cavalry troops on the ground to annihilate this Japanese army.
Baishan Xinyue and his staff officers got into their air raid shelter.
This air-raid shelter is not big, and it is considered to be their headquarters.
Now facing enemy bombing, such air raid shelters are the safest.
However, it is a pity that the Fourth Army troops on the opposite side did not give them much time to build such an air raid shelter.
The Japanese army did not have so much thought and physical strength to build these air-raid shelters, but spent all their energy on frontal attacks.
At this moment, the roar of the plane was already deafening.
The Japanese soldiers looked at the fighter jets and bombers flying towards them, and began to shoot into the sky with their rifles and machine guns.
Although such shooting is destined to be futile, they lack anti-aircraft weapons and can only use the rifles in their hands to continuously fire bullets to express their anger.
At this moment, a loud noise came.
The bombers and fighter jets of the Fourth Army began to carry out carpet bombing against the Japanese army's position.
Seeing such a scene, the Japanese soldiers began to pray that those bombs would not cause harm to them.
Some Japanese soldiers began to run wildly, trying to escape the bombardment of these aerial bombs.
But by doing so, they increased their chances of death. It would be better to find a foxhole or a crater left by an artillery shell as a hiding place.
The Japanese positions were quickly overwhelmed by these dropped bombs, and the heavy machine guns on both sides of the fighter jets also began to fire wildly at the Japanese defensive positions.
Under the repeated strikes of fighter jets and bombers, the Japanese army's originally very simple position was suddenly bombed into disarray, and even the outline and appearance of the traffic trench could no longer be seen.
A large number of Japanese soldiers, covered by such fierce firepower, turned into pieces and mixed with the blackened scorched earth here.
There were also many Japanese soldiers who were enveloped in the flames generated by the explosion and turned into charred corpses.
It was also while they were bombarding that the ground troops of the Fourth Army also began to attack the Japanese positions.
The soldiers of Zhaozhuang, under the leadership of Zhu Chengshan, took advantage of the Japanese position to be bombarded and immediately shortened the distance between them and the Japanese position.
At the same time, they launched surprise attacks on the three forward positions left by the Japanese army in front.
The three forward positions of the Japanese army were actually within the bombing range of the Fourth Army's bombers, but because they were located on the edge of the positions, they did not suffer much bombing.
But there are not many Japanese soldiers stationed here. They were originally responsible for observing the situation in Zhaozhuang.
Now that the Fourth Army is bombing fiercely, let alone observing the situation in the village opposite, as long as those bombers don't blow them up into the sky, they are already thankful.
Not only that, in the other direction at this moment, the cavalry troops of the Fourth Army are also advancing at an extremely high speed towards the area where the Japanese army was bombed.
They have started to rage.
Because these cavalrymen know that bombings by Fourth Army bombers often only last for two rounds. After two rounds, the bombing ends and it is time to harvest the lives of the Japanese troops.
Therefore, they need to make good use of this gap period and launch a violent attack in the shortest possible time before the Japanese troops have truly completed their assembly and built their firepower network.
Using the powerful impact of their cavalry, they completely destroyed the Japanese position.
The infantry and cavalry launched attacks at the same time, but the Japanese army was still in the midst of the fierce bombing just now and had not yet recovered.
After the bombing by the Fourth Army ended, Baishan Crescent climbed out of the air-raid shelter with difficulty.
At this time, he felt the vibration of the ground.
The movement was very huge, like a huge chariot traveling on this land.
"Enemy cavalry troops attack!!! Enter combat position!!!"
Baishan Crescent shouted.
However, there was silence on the battlefield at this moment, and no one seemed to respond to him. The only thing that responded to him was the whistling of the wind, and the whirring sound of the flames burning.
This made him stunned for a long time, and then he ran on the position, shouting while running.
Finally, the surviving Japanese soldiers crawled out from among the layers of corpses.
Their faces were covered with blood and dust, like walking zombies, rising from the scorched earth.
But at this moment, the sound of war horses neighing came from the smoke that had not dissipated in front.
Behind them, there were still sounds echoing in their ears.
That was the sound of intensive machine gun fire when soldiers of the Fourth Army in Zhaozhuang, under the leadership of Zhu Chengshan, removed the Japanese army's forward observation point.
Hearing these sounds, the Japanese soldiers realized that their troops were being attacked from both sides by the enemy at this time.
If you include the enemy fighter jets and bombers that bombed them just now, it was a three-sided attack.
Such a combat situation is not good for them, or it is very bad.
But they have no other choice but to stay here.
Because their main force has not arrived yet, if they leave their position and run wildly in this wilderness, they will be a living target for the enemy cavalry to practice their chopping skills.
The Japanese soldiers are not fools. They naturally know that the only way is to form a reasonable combat formation under the leadership of their commander, and then interweave the firepower network to block the enemy's cavalry from attacking them. The path to survival.
However, the cavalry of the Fourth Army on the opposite side will not give them such time.
They had already launched an all-out charge just after the bombing.
It only took a minute, and the cavalry of the Fourth Army on the opposite side had already broken through the smoke and rushed into the Japanese defensive position. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
