Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 237: There’s nothing to worry about the Japanese tanks. I have a lot of anti-tank guns. What

In order to suppress the firepower of the independent regiment's defensive position, Colonel Sasaki deployed a fighter squadron to provide firepower support for the Japanese infantry attack. The three Japanese infantry battalions also took the opportunity to launch a charge, changing from one squadron to three squadrons attacking at the same time, which suddenly doubled the pressure on the independent regiment soldiers responsible for defending the position!

Due to the lack of protection from fortifications, the open-air firing points suffered fierce attacks from the Japanese fighter planes and were directly beaten down to the point where they could not raise their heads. Upon seeing this situation, Lin Zhenhua immediately ordered the reserve troops that had just entered the defensive position to immediately start firing into the air to strike at the arrogance of the Japanese fighter planes!

"The reserve company, fight hard. We must put down the Japanese's arrogance and drive away all the Japanese fighter planes over the position. Take two fire points and keep a close eye on a Japanese Zero fighter. We must not let the Japanese swoop down again!"

Lin Zhenhua had just said half of his words when he discovered that the Japanese Zero fighter had started to attack again. He immediately operated an anti-aircraft machine gun and madly poured fire on the incoming Japanese fighter. His brain was also beginning to estimate the distance between the two sides. His eyes were fixed on the movements of the Japanese Zero fighter. He was sure that the Japanese pilot in front of him was definitely a veteran and had made several false moves to avoid his previous tracking.

After failing to hit Yoshigentaro several times, Lin Zhenhua did not get impatient. He knew that the more experienced the pilot was, the more overconfident he was in his flying skills. That was why he began to look for him gradually.

Yoshigentaro was also staring at Lin Zhenhua at this time. He found that Lin Zhenhua was not simple. He had been bitten by this man several times just now. His superb shooting skills made Yoshigentaro understand that Lin Zhenhua was very likely an important figure in the independent regiment. If he could kill him on the battlefield, he would gain great merit.

If the Japanese headquarters knew about Yoshigentaro, they would definitely beat his head into a fool. They wanted Lin Zhenhua to live, not to die. It was because of this coincidence that Yoshigentaro directly targeted Lin Zhenhua and specially found a rookie pilot as his wingman. He launched a dive and strafing attack on Lin Zhenhua. As 20mm machine gun shells were fired one after another, some dust was raised near Lin Zhenhua, but this did not scare Lin Zhenhua. He had already put life and death aside!

Lin Zhenhua has participated in many battles. In the beginning, he was timid and afraid of death, but after participating in more battles, he found that on the battlefield, the more afraid of death you are, the easier it is to die. On the contrary, the people who are less afraid of death are more likely to survive in the end. In addition, once the war with the Japanese broke out, Lin Zhenhua had no time to think about anything else. He had only one goal in his mind, which was to kill the Japanese in front of him.

As the three battalions of Japanese troops pressed forward across the board, the defensive pressure on the entire front line was very great. Especially after a battalion of Japanese fighter planes joined in, the open-air firepower points were not destroyed by the Japanese heavy artillery, but instead many were killed by the Japanese Zero fighter planes, causing considerable casualties. This made Lin Zhenhua hate the Japanese pilots even more. He operated the anti-aircraft machine gun that was fed by a belt and strafed the sky frantically. He didn't care about the incoming bullets and shells at all. He wanted to compete with the Japanese pilots in courage. Only anti-aircraft soldiers who were not afraid of death were qualified to shoot down enemy planes.

"Come on, you damned little Japanese! Today I'm going to show you how powerful I am. Captain Zhou, help me keep an eye on this veteran Japanese pilot and get rid of this rookie pilot first!"

Lin Zhenhua arranged for Captain Zhou to mobilize two anti-aircraft machine guns, aiming at Yoshigentaro, and separated the two Zero fighters with the firepower of three anti-aircraft machine guns. Only then did Lin Zhenhua have the opportunity to deal with the rookie pilot Ichiro Horita.

After Ichiro Horita was targeted by Lin Zhenhua, he was in danger. More than a dozen bullets hit the fuselage directly, leaving seven or eight bullet holes on it. Fortunately, the Zero fighter under his seat did not suffer much damage, and Ichiro Horita had no problem controlling it. This situation happened three times in a row, which made Ichiro Horita panic.

Lin Zhenhua seemed to see the panic in Ichiro Horita's eyes. He immediately had a brilliant idea in his mind and shouted excitedly: "You damned little Japanese, where can you escape this time? Weren't you two a pair before? I will bring you together now. Yes, keep flying to the left, that's it..."

While dodging the incoming bullets, Yoshi Gentaro shouted angrily through the radio: "Horita, you idiot, fly to the right immediately and don't get too close to me!"

Ichiro Horita hurriedly replied in panic on the radio: "Lieutenant Colonel, then change the course. I was really being watched too closely by China's anti-aircraft firepower. I was so close to you just now in order to avoid it!"

While they were talking, Lin Zhenhua directly formed a straight-line shooting route, forcing Ichiro Horita to fly to the left. In this extreme fear, Ichiro Horita actually got the direction of the nose of the plane wrong, and flew all the way to the left, rushing towards the direction of Yoshigentaro!

Yoshigentaro cursed and turned quickly. Lin Zhenhua certainly would not give up such a good opportunity. He increased his firepower to keep Ichiro Horita in fear.

The two Zero fighters were already quite close to each other, and Ichiro Horita was extremely frightened at the moment. He felt that only by getting close to his squadron leader could he feel a sense of security. That was why he unconsciously continued to approach Yoshigentaro. When he heard the squadron leader's angry curses on the radio, he reacted. His mind was blank just now, and he was about to collide with the squadron leader's fighter. He pulled the nose of his plane suddenly, missing the nose of the squadron leader's fighter and instead crashing into the middle of Yoshigentaro's fighter. The two fighters exploded directly in mid-air, and the two Japanese pilots were killed on the spot.

Lin Zhenhua was breathing heavily and looking at the results of his recent battle, a smile appeared on his face, but he had no time to rest. He then locked onto another incoming Japanese fighter plane and started shooting frantically.

Under the leadership of Lin Zhenhua, the reserve company blocked most of the gaps and intercepted most of the Japanese fighter planes outside. This made the soldiers responsible for defending the positions feel slightly relieved. The Japanese fighter planes had a huge impact on them. In less than an hour, they had suffered nearly 300 casualties. This shows how great a threat the Japanese fighter planes posed to them.

Li Yunlong also wiped the sweat from his face. The Japanese had already attacked to a position 300 meters away from the front line, which made him feel tremendous pressure. More than half of the fourth battalion that had been mobilized had suffered casualties. There were only 600 people left on the entire position who could move, and the loss had exceeded that of a battalion.

"Monk, call the First Reserve Battalion immediately and have them come up right away! Tell the medical company to hurry up and carry the wounded down as soon as possible. We must treat them and don't have to worry about medicine. We have plenty of medicine in our independent regiment!"

Wei Dayong suggested seriously, "Captain, the college students have deployed a lot of catapults. Let's use them to launch a counterattack and drive the Japanese back. And we have oil drums. Why don't we take this opportunity to throw them out and let the Japanese have a taste of being roasted by fire?"

Li Yunlong cursed angrily: "Monk, you son of a bitch, can you use your brain? The Japanese fighter planes are a great threat to our position. If we use the catapults at this time, it is very likely that they will explode directly in our position before the grenades are thrown. I am afraid that in the end, we will not be able to blow up the Japanese, but our own people!"

"As for the oil barrel filled with fuel, it is a bomb. Fortunately, I didn't ask you to move it to the various firing points before, otherwise the bombing by the Japanese would have caused us even greater losses!"

"Before we get rid of the Japs' fighter planes, there are some things we really can't use. If we use them, we might accidentally hurt ourselves. You better hurry up and pass the message. All we can do now is to fight a war of attrition with the Japs and continue to delay them!"

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, he immediately discovered something wrong on the front battlefield. The Japanese did not attack in waves this time, but rushed up in a swarm. Junichiro Hatoyama was also desperate this time. The battle had lasted for more than two hours, but they had not yet touched the front line of the independent regiment. There was no way to explain to Ichiro Katayama. Under the cover of two tank squadrons, Junichiro Hatoyama decided to launch a desperate charge to break through the defense position of the independent regiment as soon as possible.

Li Yunlong manipulated the light machine gun in his hand and ordered in a hurried tone: "Brothers, fight hard for me. The Japs are rushing up again. This time the Japs' infantry is not going to pretend and has directly launched a general attack. We must suppress the Japs' offensive momentum this time. There is no need to save ammunition for me. You can use grenades, bullets and artillery shells as you like. We must not let the Japs get close to our defensive positions!"

"Monk, what the hell are you still standing there for? Call up the two battalions of reserve troops. The Japs are determined to fight us to the death. No matter how much it costs, we can't let them attack us!"

As the reserve troops of the two battalions joined the battle, the precarious situation finally stabilized, and no defensive position was breached, which finally made Li Yunlong feel relieved. As for the two tank squadrons of the Japanese, Li Yunlong didn't take them seriously at all. You know, they were equipped with a large number of anti-tank guns. All 24 anti-tank guns had been pushed up, waiting for the Japanese tanks to enter the best range to fire.

"Zhu Zi, you don't have to worry about the Japanese tanks. I have anti-tank guns in my hands. It's no problem to destroy the Japanese tanks. The Japanese thin tanks can't withstand the power of our armor-piercing shells. You continue to think of ways to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery, which is the biggest threat to our defensive positions!"

"Zhu Zi, you son of a bitch, you didn't fight very well today. It took us so long to destroy three of the Japanese's heavy artillery. Our losses today are much greater than the Japanese's. You have to find a way to get back at me, or I'll have to teach you a lesson!"
