    Chapter 160: Counterattack (Please read the new book)

    "Boom boom boom"

    ¡°Perhaps they were stimulated, the little Japs in front of the Xiaguan position seemed to be crazy. They suddenly concentrated four regiments of heavy troops and launched a crazy attack on the nearly four kilometers long peripheral defense line of Xiaguan Pier.

    It is said that there are four regiments, which only refers to the infantry used directly in the attack. In addition, the Japanese army also concentrated four regiments of artillery and about 150 tanks. This kind of military firepower is not to say that it can be used to deal with  A miscellaneous brigade is more than enough to deal with the two armies of the Central Army.

    Although Li Guoyao's troops gathered nearly 40,000 defeated troops in Nanjing City, and equipped these people with complete weapons and equipment, they still felt tremendous pressure in the face of such a powerful Japanese army.

    The most important thing is that after a whole day of fighting, more than two-thirds of the army's casualties were exceeded. More than 16,000 soldiers were directly killed in the battle. In addition, there were more than 4,000 wounded. Only those with real combat effectiveness were  There are more than 18,000 people left, which is only equivalent to the strength of a Japanese field division.

    Fortunately, it was worth paying such huge casualties. Under their blockage, most of the national troops that had withdrawn from Nanjing City had withdrawn to the north bank of the Yangtze River. Only two divisions of 156,000 troops had not yet crossed the river.  There are thousands of people, and they can withdraw if they hold on for a few hours.

    But Li Guoyao knew that it would be even more difficult at this time. With the level of madness shown by the little devil, these last few hours would be really difficult!

    Through the lens of the telescope, Li Guoyao saw that the forward position was almost enveloped by Japanese artillery fire. The Japanese artillery shells fell as if they were free, exploding on the defender's positionexplodingexploding again, wreaking havoc crazily.  On!

    Since most of the artillery-proof caverns had been bombarded in previous battles, and even if they had not collapsed, they were still crumbling and unfit for use. Therefore, in the face of the crazy bombardment of the Japanese army, the defenders could only lie down in the trenches and persist in enduring it.  !

    This is a test of will and death. It is also a confrontation between responsibility and faith. It is also the fastest way for a new recruit to transform into an iron-blooded warrior.

    "Boom"

    A shell exploded near the command post of the Sixth Guard Regiment. Regiment leader Huang Shang was killed on the spot, regimental deputy Xu Wenlong was seriously injured, and many soldiers near the command post were injured or killed.

    Before the defenders could take a breath, they heard a low buzz in the air. This was the sound of an engine starting in the air. It was obviously the Japanese plane coming.

    After the Japanese fighter planes arrived on the battlefield, the already unfavorable situation for the defenders immediately became even more unfavorable!

    Compared with artillery shells, aerial bombs are more powerful. Even the smallest fifty-pound aerial bombs are no less powerful than field heavy artillery. Not to mention those aerial bombs that often weigh one hundred pounds or even one thousand pounds.  , if an aerial bomb of this level is dropped, a whole company of defenders will be wiped out.

    Looking at the Japanese fighter planes wreaking havoc on the battlefield, Li Guoyao was furious. These scoundrels were so arrogant. They even lowered their flight altitude so low. They were simply looking for death.

    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there were really no suitable soldiers now, Li Guoyao would have really wanted to exchange for a batch of anti-aircraft machine guns, and he would have been caught off guard during the dog day.

    But this is just a thought. Things like anti-aircraft machine guns don¡¯t just require guns. They also need strict training, otherwise everything will be in vain.

    Although it cannot be exchanged for anti-aircraft machine guns, Li Guoyao has a rocket launcher. Although the PGR cannot fight fighter jets, it can still fight such low-altitude bombers. After all, the performance of fighter jets in this era is still too poor. Not only are their flight speeds slow, but their protective capabilities are also poor.  As a matter of fact, in order to reduce the weight of the fuselage, most fighter planes do not use steel, but use leather materials. They are not as good as later generations of helicopters.

    Thinking of this, Li Guoyao ignored the guards' obstruction and rushed out of the command post with the 40mm fire. Then he sneaked to a small high ground on the right side of the battlefield, then lay down on the gentle slope and raised the 40mm fire high.

    At this time, a Japanese Type 96 carrier-based bomber dived down towards the defenders' position directly in front of Li Guoyao. When the fighter plane's flight altitude dropped to the lowest point, the bomb delivery hatch on the belly of the fighter plane opened instantly, and aerial bombs were fired.  Falling from the sky like bird shit.

    Before the bombs exploded, the Japanese pilot pulled the nose of the plane, and the fighter plane drew a beautiful parabola in the air and increased its flight altitude.

    At this moment, Li Guoyao decisively pressed the 40-fire launch button!

    "Whoops!"

    After a slightly harsh sound, I saw a rocket with a long tail flame flying straight towards the Japanese fighter plane with its belly exposed!

    The 40-fire projectile rushed out of the chamberAlthough the muzzle velocity of ? is not fast, it can reach a speed of 300 meters per second in a short time. The fighter plane is the slowest when climbing, so there is no accident. The rocket accurately hits the little devil's fighter plane.

    After a loud "boom", the Japanese Type 96 carrier-based bomber disintegrated in the air, and the broken body fell from the sky accompanied by fire all over the sky.

    The sudden change shocked the remaining Japanese fighter planes in the air, but due to the suddenness of the incident, no one saw what happened just now.

    Although it was strange that the fighter plane disintegrated in the air for no reason, in order to support the army operations on the ground, the commander of the Little Devil Air Force suppressed his uneasiness and did not order the troops to return immediately, but continued to drop bombs.

    But just a minute later, there was another loud volley, and another fighter plane was exploded. What was even more terrifying was that when this fighter plane exploded, there was another fighter plane on the side and behind it preparing to drop bombs. The volley exploded in all directions.  The flying parts directly damaged the wings and doors of the other fighter plane, and the entire plane suddenly fell into the distance with black smoke.

    Three planes crashed in less than five minutes. If the commander of the Japanese aviation force did not know what happened, he would be really confused. He immediately reported the situation to the ground command center and requested to return.

    When this kind of thing happened, the generals at the Japanese naval base naturally did not dare to neglect. The aviation force was a treasure no matter which country it was in, especially for Japan, which was short of resources. But it could not afford the loss, so they immediately ordered the front line  The fighter planes returned immediately.

    When the Japanese fighter planes returned, the shelling on the front line also ended, and a large number of infantry rushed up.

    A shrill whistle sounded instantly on the garrison position. The soldiers immediately knew that it was the Japanese infantry coming up, and they all got up to prepare for a counterattack. The hidden light and heavy machine guns also took off their camouflage and prepared to fire!

    400 meters350 meters200 meters

    When the Japanese infantry entered the defender's position two hundred meters away, the troops on the defender's front line finally opened fire under the order of the frontline commander.

    "Da da da"

    The unique sound of light and heavy machine guns instantly sounded on the defenders' position. Hundreds of light and heavy machine guns on the defenders' positions immediately formed an airtight fire network at the forward position, catching the charging Japanese soldiers off guard.

    At the same time, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the artillerymen located behind the position to fire immediately!

    Li Guoyao is also very confident about the firepower of the defenders' positions. The Chinese army in the Xiaguan position not only has a large number of light and heavy machine guns, but also a large number of large-caliber artillery.

    These weapons and equipment are supported by other troops of the national army. In fact, it is wrong to say that they are supported. The main reason is that these artillery are too heavy, and the ships responsible for transporting personnel are not very big. Except for a few large merchant ships and ferries, they are all small  Fishing boats simply cannot transport these big guys, so after the coordination of the Xiaoshan Order, all the troops left these artillery pieces to the independent brigade, and some troops even kept the artillery as a way to repay the favor of the independent brigade for their rear.  .

    So now the artillery in Li Guoyao's hands is quite impressive. There are 27 75mm mountain guns alone, and there are also more than a dozen anti-tank guns and field guns such as Sanqi War artillery, and even two 12-times heavy howitzers.

    Although there are not many shells, there is no problem in supporting it for several hours.

    But in order to plot against the Japanese artillery, Li Guoyao did not let his artillery take action first. He planned to wait until the Japanese artillery was finished before taking action, so that they could judge where their artillery positions were based on the impact point of the Japanese artillery shells.  Then take the right medicine and destroy it directly, and then the battle will be easy to fight.

    It is very clear that now the time has come for both sides to see their bayonets see red, and every step must be calculated, otherwise the little devils are likely to annihilate them all at Xiaguan Pier.

    Following Li Guoyao's order, the National Army's artillery positions removed all camouflage. This temporary artillery force, cobbled together from more than a dozen divisions and brigades, aimed their muzzles at the Japanese artillery positions in the distance.

    "Report: The 1st Mountain Artillery Battalion is ready!"

    "Report: The Second Battalion of Mountain Artillery is ready!"

    "Report: The field artillery camp is ready!"

    "Report: The heavy artillery battery is ready!"

    After hearing the report, an army colonel in front of the defending artillery position said loudly: "Each battalion will fight back according to the brigade's counterattack plan!"

    "yes!"
