    When the Japanese troops outside the city were discussing how to attack the city, Li Guoyao in the city was also thinking about how to defend the city.

    There is no doubt that Quanjiao County City cannot be defended. Just like Nanjing City, there is no danger to defend here. Even the city walls are pitiful and dilapidated and cannot withstand a few cannons.

    Li Guoyao's only reliance now is the defense fortifications outside the city. However, due to the lack of steel and concrete, those fortifications actually look like mere decorations. They can only hold on for a day and a half. It is not enough to defend the county seat.

    Fortunately, Li Guoyao never thought about preventing the Japanese army from invading Quanjiao County, so after learning that the Japanese army had stopped attacking, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to repair the defenses and at the same time ordered the troops to prepare for retreat.

    That¡¯s right, retreat!

    According to Li Guoyao's idea, the Japanese army will definitely attack again tomorrow morning, and to be on the safe side, the Japs will also bring in aircraft, tanks and other technical units to participate in the battle, so Li Guoyao thought that the Japs would retreat immediately and then send the Japs to  The Japanese were dragged step by step into the abyss of death.

    Before dawn the next day, the Japanese army began to bury pots and cook rice on the position. From a distance on the defender's position, you could see rows of burning bonfires in the distance. It was the logistics troops of the Japanese soldiers who were busy.

    In fact, the little devils usually don't open fire and cook when they are marching and fighting, because once they have important military operations, they will bring some dry food. In fact, it is just white rice dumplings. When they are hungry, they can take out a few to nibble, which is convenient, quick and trouble-free.  .

    "But because they didn't expect Li Guoyao's troops to be so difficult to deal with, the Japanese soldiers didn't have enough rice dumplings, so they had no choice but to cook early in the morning.

    Secondly, because yesterday's attack was not going well, Numata Shigetori decided to give the frontline troops a good meal this morning to improve their morale. If there were no wine and flower girls, he would also like to prepare some flowers.  Girls and drinks to add to the fun.

    After eating and drinking, the Japanese troops began to line up, and then under the orders of the frontline commander, the Japanese troops began to attack!

    "Boom boom boom"

    The cannons on the rear artillery positions were roaring, and the shells fell on the defenders' positions like dense raindrops, blowing up clouds of dust. Occasionally, you could see the Chinese defenders being blown away.

    This time, in order to eliminate Li Guoyao's troops in one fell swoop, the Japanese army spent a lot of money. Not only did they dispatch three regiments of infantry, they even dispatched a regiment of artillery and a large number of other arms, including machine gun brigades and tank brigades.  Very powerful.

    In order to strengthen the offensive firepower, Major General Shigetori Numata applied for aviation support from Nanjing before the attack began, and more than a dozen bombers were on their way.

    The artillery carried out shelling for more than ten minutes, and then the infantry began to attack.

    However, before the Japanese infantry could rush up, intensive gunshots rang out from the smoke-filled defenders' position. Many Japanese soldiers who rushed in front were knocked to the ground. The remaining troops immediately stopped charging and crawled on their knees.  Fight back on the spot.

    Seeing the defenders appearing on the battlefield like ghosts and quickly launching a counterattack, Shigetori Numata and others who were watching the battle from behind knew they were in trouble. The opponent had obviously built cat-ear holes for firing artillery in the front-line trenches.

    Once these facilities are in place, the power of the Imperial Army's artillery will be greatly reduced, and the ensuing battle will inevitably be a bloody battle.

    Sure enough, the attack was repulsed in less than twenty minutes, and all four infantry squadrons that attacked at the same time suffered heavy losses.

    However, Numata Shigetoku did not believe in evil and immediately organized a second attack. This time they concentrated 6 squadrons and the bombardment lasted longer.

    But unfortunately, this time it also failed to achieve the expected results. The six squadrons withdrew less than 600 people, and the remaining more than 300 people died on the battlefield. Among the people who withdrew, there were also many wounded.  .

    Fortunately, at this time, a huge "buzzing" sound suddenly came from the sky, which was the sound of the engine of a fighter plane. The Japanese veterans fighting on the ground cheered, and it was their plane coming.

    Numata Shigetori and Yamaguchi Chuji also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the aviation force arrived, it would be easy to destroy the defenders' bunkers on the ground with the power of aerial bombs.

    In view of this, Numata Shigetori immediately ordered the troops to prepare for the attack. At the same time, he also sent the tank squadron that he had been reluctant to use. He wanted to break through the defending positions in front of him.

    Behind the garrison position, Lu Zhan Wudang, who was directing the operation, reported the situation to the division headquarters and ordered the troops to pay attention to concealment.

    After receiving the report from the frontline troops, Li Guo??Immediately order the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion of the anti-aircraft regiment hidden on the second-line defense position to prepare for battle. Once the Japanese fighter planes enter the optimal range, they can fire immediately without asking the division headquarters.

    Li Guoyao attaches great importance to the little devil's aviation force. Although the performance of aircraft in this era is rubbish, the strength of the aviation force is not weak, especially the attack on ground troops, which is very terrifying.

    This is mainly due to the huge power of line control. Although it cannot be compared with those large missiles of later generations, it is still shocking.  Before Li Guoyao was reborn, he was ordered to perform a special mission. A 500kg aerial bomb from World War II was discovered on a construction site in Zhengzhou, an important town in the Central Plains. At that time, because the aerial bomb was too large and posed a huge threat, his superiors  Let the Jiaolong Commando, who is participating in the army competition nearby, resolve the matter.

    After arriving at the scene, Li Guoyao and others found that the aerial bomb body was damaged and was no longer suitable for movement, so they decided to blast it on the spot.

    Although the 500 kilogram aerial bomb charge is only more than 200 kilograms, it still left a crater on the ground with a diameter of 12m and a depth of 5m after detonation.

    This is an aerial bomb that has been buried deep underground for decades. It is probably almost useless, but its power is still terrifying. The crater alone is 12 meters.  It is estimated that if this aerial bomb had exploded at that time, the shock wave damage radius would have been sixty to seventy meters, and the fragmentation damage would have been at least 300 to 400 meters.

    Therefore, if conditions permit, Li Guoyao definitely does not want these terrifying aerial bombs to fall on the defenders' positions.

    Fortunately, when Li Guoyao was arranging the battle, he had already anticipated the possible appearance of the Japs' aviation units, so he arranged the air defense units on the front line early, but the position was a few hundred meters behind the infantry, and all the  The equipment was all covered with camouflage netting.

    After receiving the order from the division headquarters, Xu Wenlong, the deputy commander of the air defense regiment, immediately ordered the troops to remove their camouflage. More than twenty anti-aircraft machine guns exposed their ferocious barrels and aimed at the Japanese fighter planes that were gradually lowering their flight altitude.

    However, the Japanese fighter planes in the air did not notice it at all at this time, mainly because the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine guns equipped by the air defense regiment were too confusing. Not only were they much smaller than the anti-aircraft machine guns of the general army, but they were not twin-linked.  It's a single-link gun. At first glance, I thought it was an ordinary light machine gun.

    It's just that the Japanese air force would never have thought that the shooting height of these small machine guns would exceed two thousand meters, and the 14 mm caliber was so destructive to their wooden and iron-covered aircraft that even one bullet could kill them.  It can tear a big hole, hit a key position and blow up the plane with one shot.

    Seeing that the height of the little devil's fighter plane was getting lower and lower, and soon dropped to a height of five or six hundred meters, Xu Wenlong immediately shouted an order: "Everyone is here, aim and fire!"

    "Bang bang bang"

    Following Xu Wenlong¡¯s order, more than twenty anti-aircraft machine guns fired at the same time, and the dull sound of machine guns continued to sound on the position!

    With the sound of huge bullet shells falling to the ground, thick bullets flew towards the Japanese plane, fast and accurate.

    With a loud "boom", a Japanese fighter plane was directly exploded in mid-air, and instantly turned into a big fireball. The wreckage of the plane fell from the sky with blazing fire, and the parts flying around scared the people next to it.  Japanese fighter planes took cover one after another.

    And this was just the beginning. In less than a few minutes, two planes were shot down and three were damaged. The remaining Japanese planes raised their noses one after another, trying to climb up and escape from the anti-aircraft machine guns.  shooting range.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
