Not surprisingly, the southern position where He Zhengdao was located became the area that the little devil's military plane needed to take care of.It's just that when the Japanese fighter planes flew over the town, they found that there was no one in the southern position.

The only place where people can be seen is the blocking position facing the Japanese army.This made the Air Force pilot in charge of reconnaissance somewhat surprised.Do they really need to take care of such a place?

With the appearance of the little devil's plane, the ongoing battle quickly became dull.He Zhengdao reminded before that when the 51st Army and the 77th Army were attacking, they also 'hidden' the troops at hand.

Except for the troops in charge of the attack, all the rest of the troops hid in.Even when the little devil's bombers appeared, they always felt that there were not as many attacking troops surrounding the town as they had imagined.

As for the troops attacking at the front of the position, those bombers did not dare to bomb easily.The reason is simple. When bombing is carried out in such a small space, who knows if the bomb will fall on the position to block the Japanese army?

Seeing the planes coming to help, the Japanese soldiers felt a lot more relaxed. They also felt that these planes were always hovering in the sky, but why didn't they drop bombs?You know, their time in the air is actually limited!

Keisuke Fujie was also surprised. Looking at the fighter jets and bombers circling to the south, he frowned and said, "What's going on? Has the Air Force not found the target yet? Why are they still circling in the sky?"

Regarding this kind of inquiry, the chief of staff also said curiously: "Your Excellency, division chief, I don't know exactly what's going on. In fact, not only the southern position, but also the planes responsible for bombing other directions seem to have not launched any action!"

If no valuable target could be found, the little devil plane responsible for attacking and bombing would naturally not "bomb" easily.But after circling a few times, the Japanese fighter planes circling in the southern airspace finally moved.

The little devil fighter in charge of reconnaissance, after flying to the position of the bomber pilot, pointed to a dense jungle below.This gesture made the pilot of the bomber feel his eyes brighten up.

The bombing targets could not be found on the ground, perhaps because the targets were all hiding in the woods?

With this sudden realization, the bomber pilot quickly began to carry out the bombing mission.Seeing a string of aerial bombs being accurately dropped from the sky into the dense jungle, other troops on the battlefield couldn't help but look sideways.

Xu Youchang, the commander of the 51st Army closest to the Eighth Route Army, looked at the violent explosions from the southern position, and said worriedly: "It seems that the little devils are after them this time. It is really worthwhile to use so many bombers to bomb them." !"

Hearing this, the chief of staff of the 51st Army was a little confused and said: "But according to our forward observation post, it seems that the shells of the little devils were thrown down the mountain, and they didn't bomb the small village in the south!"

'Then do you know that the troops of the 67th Army are hiding there for air defense? '

'This is not so clear!The military seat means that they are hiding in the mountains? '

When the two were discussing this issue, He Zhengdao, who was staying in the underground bunker, looked at the blazing woods in front of him, and said with a little regret: "Oh, the little devil is really rich and powerful, this aerial bomb seems to be free of money Throw it down!"

Li Xiangdong, who was standing aside, said with a smile: "Commander, it seems that our strategy of suspicion has succeeded again!"

According to common sense, troops hiding in densely vegetated woods can indeed effectively avoid the detection of aircraft.But He Zhengdao knew that hiding in the woods had advantages and disadvantages.

Once an aerial bomb falls into the woods, it may cause a fire.In this way, troops hiding in the woods risked being burned to death.But at the forefront of the war zone, He Zhengdao naturally would not do such a stupid thing.

Most of the concealed fortifications built by the reconnaissance team last night were concentrated on the slopes of some hillsides.Digging an air-raid shelter is all too familiar to the reconnaissance group.With the help of natural terrain protection, dig a safer and more stable air-raid shelter.

Just considering that the location of the southern position is not too big, if the little devils really bombed, it may also cause damage to individual air-raid shelters.After He Zhengdao thought about it, he felt that people should deploy camouflage in the woods.

Find some straw men, and then put clothes on the straw men, and place them in the woods, which is a bit hidden.As long as the little devil lowered his flying altitude, he could still see those disguised straw men.

Even if you don't see much, as long as the little devil's pilot believes that there are people hiding in the woods, then the little devil will throw as many bombs as possible into the jungle when carrying out the bombing.This is the plan of the suspicious soldiers!

Hearing the explosion sound from the southern position, Fujie Keisuke said with a slightly relieved expression: "Hey, the Imperial Air Force has finally started bombing. Presumably they have confirmed the bombing target."

He Zhengdao will not expose this too beautiful self-fantasy on the spot.In fact, he felt a little relieved when he saw that the little devil sent more bombers to his side to carry out bombing missions.

More planes bombing him means fewer bombs falling on other troops.In this way, the losses incurred by the entire war zone during this round of bombing will undoubtedly be even smaller.

The first batch of Japanese fighter planes to fly to the battlefield finally chose to leave the battlefield after circling and wreaking havoc in the town for nearly an hour.Shortly after the plane left, the 71st Army's offensive suddenly became fierce.

He Zhengdao shook his head when he heard the sound of heavy shelling coming from the north and said, "I'm afraid it's a bit premature for such a strong attack!"

'yes!Although the little devil's plane is gone, the little devil in the town still has a heavy artillery unit!They are using such a fierce shelling now, they are bound to be counterattacked by the artillery of the little devil! '

'To the east, give the mountain artillery unit an order. Once the Japanese heavy artillery counterattacks, quickly lock its position and then bomb it.The position of the mountain artillery unit is still a skirmish formation, and each artillery can only fire five shells in each position. '

'Commander, what do you mean, let's help them? '

In Li Xiangdong's view, as a veteran of the Red Army, he actually doesn't have much affection for the Central Army.Now that the 71st Army is the main attacker, it is more because they are afraid that they will steal the limelight from the Central Army.

In this case, it's better to let the 71st Army suffer, and save them from thinking that the Eighth Route Army can't do it!

It's just that He Zhengdao, who heard this, said with a serious expression: "Xiangdong, it's true that we have different political views with them, and it's true that we are on guard against each other. But you have to remember, we are on the battlefield, We are their allies.

To put it simply, we and them are like two brothers fighting each other in a family, and maybe we usually fight to the death.But now that outsiders break into the house and bully our brothers and sisters, we should temporarily put aside our grievances and unite with the outside world.

Now that we realize that they will suffer, as a friendly force, we should also help.Whether they are willing to accept this favor or not, we are also attacking little devils.After all, they are also China's anti-Japanese forces, understand? "

'Yes, Commander, I understand! '

Following He Zhengdao's order, the relatively scattered mountain artillery troops in the south quickly entered a state of combat readiness.The previously covered artillery positions were quickly uncovered one after another, and they entered a state of artillery readiness.

And He Zhengdao's guess was also very correct. Seeing the 71st Army's heavy shelling so quickly, Fujie Keisuke was surprised and quickly ordered the heavy artillery squadron to deploy a heavy artillery squadron to carry out the counterattack mission.

In addition, the Japanese field artillery units deployed in the northern position also launched a corresponding counterattack.If the artillery bombardment of the 71st Army was fierce, then the counterattack artillery fire of the Japanese army also made the artillery units of the 71st Army terrified.

Just when Song Xilian watched the Japanese counterattack artillery fire, his expression was a bit bitter and helpless.The sound of shelling from the south immediately attracted the attention of the entire battlefield.Many officers and soldiers of the 71st Army were surprised that the Eighth Route Army fired!

When did the Eighth Route Army disregard previous suspicions and help the Central Army?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As long as people who have confronted He Zhengdao, most of them feel that the formation of troops that He Zhengdao is good at is often nowhere to be found.To put it bluntly, He Zhengdao's combat style tends to be good at using surprise soldiers, and he often does not play cards according to common sense.

When the 71st Army was preparing to launch its first onslaught, the Japanese army seemed to realize that it was a big move for the 71st Army to dare to shell their blocking positions in this way.For this reason, the artillery unit was also ordered to carry out a resolute counterattack.

But the Japanese army in the town would never have dreamed that the Eighth Route Army would intervene at this time.At least in the information of many Japanese generals, they all know that the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army do not deal with each other.

Even sometimes, they will do things to drive a wedge between the two armies and benefit the Japanese army.They were wary that the 51st Army and the 77th Army would help the scene, but they never expected that the Eighth Route Army would help.

Originally, Song Xilian felt that the artillery unit he had used earlier was more to attract the counter artillery fire of the Japanese army.And the only thing he kept was a mountain artillery battalion that the theater had just added to him.

As a result, what Song Xilian did not expect was that the Japanese army counterattacked so resolutely that they even did not hesitate to use heavy troops to attack.In this way, the artillery unit he was going to use as a sacrifice would not have suffered heavy losses.

Just when Song Xilian lamented that the Japanese artillery fire was so sharp, the sound of explosions in the town and the sudden stop of the Japanese artillery counterattack really surprised Song Xilian.

Not long after, the staff officer in charge of delivering frontline intelligence rushed in and said, "Sir, the artillery shells that counterattacked the little devil came from the south. It should be the artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army. Their counterattack artillery fire is very fierce."

Song Xilian, who heard this, actually knew the news a long time ago.The staff officer reported again, more to confirm his guess.The news was confirmed, but Song Xilian felt a little tangled.

When the news reached Li Zongren's combat headquarters, the leading general of the Gui family also said in surprise, "You mean, just now, the 67th Army helped the 71st Army counter the little devil's artillery?"

'Yes, General!This situation has been confirmed by many people. '

After such an answer, Li Zongren sighed for a while and said: "This son has great righteousness in mind, and his future is limitless!"

Comparing his heart to his heart, Li Zongren believes that if the 67th Army is the main attacking force at this moment, and the 71st Army is the assisting force.Faced with such a situation, the 71st Army is bound to sit on the sidelines, and even secretly laugh behind their backs.

From inviting the Eighth Route Army to send troops to participate in the defense of Wuhan, many generals of the Central Army hoped to take this opportunity to test the strength of the Eighth Route Army and consume the growing Eighth Route Army to check and balance its development.

As the most popular young general of the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao is undoubtedly a dangerous figure in the eyes of some Central Army generals who are worried about the rise of the Eighth Route Army. There are probably not a few people who want to kill him.

But what He Zhengdao did this time made Li Zongren have to say that he has admiration for this young man.A unit that can abandon the disputes between the two parties and the two armies, and offer a helping hand without asking for anything in return, can truly be called a friendly army.
