Chapter 379: One Force Overcomes Ten Techniques
After the Communications Soldier found a piece of white cloth.
Brigade Commander Zhang immediately drew a circle on the white cloth with red ink, then casually drew a few strokes on it.
The Japanese Plaster Flag was thus prepared by Brigade Commander Zhang!
"Come!"
"Go hoist this Plaster Flag and wave it toward the Japanese Army aircraft."
"Yes!" The Communications Soldier nodded, then took this Plaster Flag out of the command post.
Outside the command post!
At this moment!
After Iwata Natsunan dropped the supplies, he was leading the aircraft formation back.
After the Anti-Aircraft Battalion received the order from Brigade Commander Zhang.
On the mountainside!
The roaring sound of the Japanese aircraft, plus the shockwaves from the Japanese Army aircraft whistling through the sky, came in waves.
Brigade Commander Zhang's original intention was that after hoisting the Plaster Flag, the Japanese Army aircraft would not bomb this place.
Seeing this, Banyuan Saburo shouted: "Danger!"
Iwata Natsunan piloted the aircraft, made a turn, and dove toward Yamashita Kazuo.
Furthermore!
"Our Plaster Flags are almost all destroyed."
He had come this time to drop supplies.
Now, more than two thousand men have been lost again!
"The Japanese aircraft above!"
"Nani?!" Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo were so angry their eyes widened.
This made Iwata Natsunan believe in his judgment even more!
"Damn it!"
Pulling the control stick!
Iwata Natsunan's aircraft flew downward, and when he got close to look.
Iwata Natsunan, who was flying in the air, saw a guy below as black as charcoal, raising a gun and firing at him.
"What is this Japanese aircraft going crazy for!"
After all!
"Immediately use our Anti-Aircraft Machine Gun, aim for the Japanese Army aircraft for me, and hit them hard!"
Now, a Plaster Flag of the Imperial Army suddenly appeared.
His heart was also very happy!
This airdrop had successfully completed the mission.
The Imperial Aviation actually dropped supplies to the enemy army; isn't this aiding the enemy?!
"Baka!"
Now that they had received the reply from Squad Leader Iwata Natsunan, they all began to gather.
Let the Imperial Heavy Artillery bomb the several bunkers and hidden pillboxes of the Sichuan Army.
"The Imperial Aviation are all good-for-nothings!"
There was absolutely no problem, but it was a great pity that the Sichuan Army possessed three Divisions, now blocking the Imperial Army from coming to the rescue.
You must know!
Ever since the Imperial Army arrived at the Far East Continent, paired with the aircraft in the sky, plus the Heavy Artillery, Field Gun, and Mountain Gun.
Because!
He now saw so many Japanese aircraft diving over.
Wan Minglin was truly afraid that he would be blown into nothing but dust in a moment.
All the aircraft!
"Turtle son!"
Now so many Japanese Army aircraft were continuously gathering toward his position.
If one did not listen to the sound, it would be impossible to distinguish friend from foe.
Making Segu Qi and Chongteng Qianqiu feel as if they had punched a ball of cotton.
Especially now that the Jing'an Army was gone, Segu Qi and Chongteng Qianqiu did not dare to send out pursuit troops at all.
Brigade Commander Zhang shouted happily.
"Should we now have the entire Brigade's anti-aircraft firepower aim at the Japanese Army aircraft and fire a volley."
"This Plaster Flag really has done us a great favor."
"Go to hell!"
He had been worrying about how to airdrop ammunition to his own troops.
Iwata Natsunan frowned slightly: "Attention, all aircraft!"
Yamashita Kazuo gave his Adjutant a slap: "You... think of a way immediately."
Brigade Commander Zhang, as an officer who studied at the Whampoa Military Academy, patted Jin Jizhong on the shoulder: "This is a Japanese Army airdrop!"
The Sichuan Army at Dagu Mountain!
"I will descend in altitude to see what this person is doing."
At this moment, the Japanese Army aircraft circling in the sky.
If there were a Regiment, or a Battalion, inserted into Dagu Mountain right now.
"Da-da-da!! —"
Currently, the Sichuan Army and the Imperial Army are engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
"Otherwise... you... die, die!"
After flying his plane across the sky, Iwata Natsunan opened fire on the person below who was insulting the Imperial Army.
The density of firepower is already far less than before, and the loss of troops is at least three thousand men.
"Get me a few more Plaster Flags, hurry up and wave them!"
The two of them immediately used telescopes to observe, and happened to see the Imperial Aviation continuously dropping ammunition onto the Sichuan Army's positions.
"Connect me to the Anti-Aircraft Battalion!"
To make it convenient for the Imperial Aviation to not make mistakes during the next airdrop.
It could be seen that the person on the ground was waving exactly what was an Imperial Plaster Flag.
Upon hearing this!
They were not carrying large-caliber aerial Bombs!
From the sky, the Japanese Army planes simply could not distinguish which were the Imperial Army and which were the Sichuan Army.
They would even deliberately circle above the Sichuan Army's positions to show off their flying skills.
Seeing a person below waving something in their hand at them.
Once the Imperial Army goes to pursue!
On the road and the hillsides, the Sichuan Army prepared Explosives to blow up the pursuing Imperial Army.
The Communications Soldier had someone raise the Plaster Flag, then waved it toward the Japanese Army planes.
This group of people was a Sichuan Army unit!
How could the Imperial Army possibly open fire on their own?!
The Imperial Army is pleasant to talk to, and going to an Imperial Army camp is just like going home.
Iwata Natsunan fired a burst at Yamashita Kazuo's Anti-Artillery Cave, then flapped his wings and left.
At the same time, the two of them also reported that the last time the Imperial Aviation made an error in the airdrop, they gave the supplies directly to the Sichuan Army.
"Hai!" Yamashita Kazuo's Adjutant nodded, then prepared to go and set up the Imperial Plaster Flag.
"So many devil planes, flying so low now, gathered together."
The two Japanese Army Regiments are now lacking ammunition, and their combat effectiveness has clearly dropped significantly.
"Damn Sichuan Army!"
This group of Sichuan Army soldiers also waved the Imperial Plaster Flag vigorously.
Very conspicuous!!
Annihilate this Sichuan Army unit!
Once the Machine Cannon rang out!!
"Regiment Commander!"
Yet this Sichuan Army uses such harassment methods, specifically to delay the Imperial Army's advance.
But!
"It's likely they've come to drop ammunition for our two surrounded Regiments."
Several Sichuan Army soldiers once again raised the Plaster Flag and waved it at the Japanese Army planes in the sky.
Both of them were also stunned for a moment!
The first to come to his senses was Yamashita Kazuo.
Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo also urgently contacted Segu Qi.
Both of them also cursed the Aviation, saying that after the battle ended, they would definitely lodge a complaint with the Pingjin Area Army Commander, Terauchi Hisaichi.
"Something big has happened!"
But!
Regarding Jin Jizhong's proposal, the Brigade Commander thought for a moment.
"Son of a turtle!"
However, Segu Qi and Chongteng Qianqiu now feel that advancing is very difficult.
Judging from the telegrams from Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo.
"You return to base!"
But!
"It's just that now both sides are engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and everyone is covered in mud."
As long as they can bomb the Sichuan Army, as for how the Imperial Aviation identifies friend from foe, that is none of their business.
"What kind of situation are these little devils pulling?!"
Yamashita Kazuo's Adjutant was shot into a sieve.
And Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo on the hillside saw Kobayashi Hirokazu killed by the Imperial Aviation.
How could the Imperial Army's Plaster Flag be this small?!
In the Segaya Detachment and the Chongteng Detachment!
Instead, it was the two Adjutants who spoke first: "Your Excellency, Regiment Commander!"
His Adjutant, Kobayashi Hirokazu, was killed!
Which caused Yamashita Kazuo to open fire without a word.
At this moment!
Standing on the hillside.
Following the deployment of Segu Qi, Yamashita Kazuo made adjustments.
Only the Sichuan Army, a unit as poor as beggars, would use such a tiny scrap of cloth to deceive themselves in order to impersonate the Imperial Army.
Several other flags had also been shredded by the artillery fire of the Sichuan Army!
On the entire hillside, there was not a single flag left that could clearly show it was the Imperial Army.
It was as if red flower petals had appeared on the vast, white snowy plain.
This Yamashita Kazuo had already been driven mad by the Sichuan Army, and now the Japanese Army aircraft had made a mistake in dropping supplies.
That is truly using brute force to overcome ten clever moves!
The Imperial Aviation returned to Dagu Mountain, and this time, following the request of Segu Qi, they searched for a cross shape before conducting the airdrop.
Only then did he dare to crawl out of the Anti-Artillery Cave!
After dragging Yamashita Kazuo out!
"Da-da-da!! —"
"Are your eyes covered in paste?!"
"Notify the security troops of the entire Brigade; without my orders, no one is allowed to fire."
"Hai!" Yamashita Kazuo's Adjutant could only nod obediently.
He got some fresh blood on the battlefield and simply made a Plaster Flag.
Every soldier is a talent!
Seeing the Imperial Plaster Flag waving on the hillside, the leader of the Japanese Army flight squad—Iwata Natsunan.
He discovered that the Anti-Artillery Cave constructed by the opponent was quite tricky, and the Machine Cannon could not inflict significant damage on them.
One could see the bullets from the Machine Cannon hitting the Anti-Artillery Cave, causing mud to fly everywhere.
"Immediately conduct the airdrop toward the position where the Imperial Plaster Flag is being waved below."
"The Imperial Aviation has dropped the supplies onto the enemy's position!"
After all, on the ground!
Fearing that halfway there, more Imperial Warriors at the battalion level would lose their lives at the hands of the Sichuan Army!
Banyuan Saburo and Yamashita Kazuo, the two of them saw their own aircraft heading toward the Sichuan Army's position.
The two Detachment Commanders met up!
On the Dagu Mountain position, two regiments of Imperial Warriors were now engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Sichuan Army.
Iwata Natsunan saw the Imperial soldiers happily waving at him.
He immediately shouted over the radio: "Yoshi!"
Regarding this crude Plaster Flag, he did not trust at all that the other side was the Imperial Army.
The number of people added up bit by bit!
But!
He tackled Yamashita Kazuo and rolled into the previously dug Anti-Artillery Cave.
Jin Jizhong saw that what the Japanese Army aircraft dropped was not a Bomb, and grinned: "What is going on here?"
From the camp to the Dagu Mountain position!
Less than fifteen kilometers!
Otherwise, Iwata Natsunan would definitely have bestowed two aerial bombs upon the 'Sichuan Army' that had just fired at him.
The Sichuan Army soldiers below, after seeing the performance of the Imperial Aviation.
Wan Minglin, who was working hard to wave the Japanese Army Plaster Flag in his hand, also felt a tremor in his heart.
Banyuan Saburo and Yamashita Kazuo were both so angry that they kept shouting "Baka yaro!"
From the material, one could see that this Imperial Plaster Flag was very crudely made.
Moreover, some Imperial Aviation personnel, after dropping the supplies.
The hand-to-hand combat at Dagu Mountain was almost over.
Now they were going to reinforce, but they were met with stubborn resistance from the Sichuan Army.
Wherever they went, the enemy troops would flee in defeat!
Whether it was the Central Army, the Jin-Sui Army, or the Northwest Army, none were a match for the Imperial Army.
The lightly wounded did not leave the front line, and the heavily wounded were moved into the Tunnel.
"Must not let these two regiments receive ammunition replenishment!"
The Imperial Army's ammunition was running low!
"All aircraft, prepare!"
As for how the aircraft identified that the opposite side was the Sichuan Army's position, the two old devils still had not figured it out.
Iwata Natsunan roared.
At the first moment!
The key is!
This group of Sichuan Army soldiers simply did not fight the Imperial Army in a straightforward manner; they would fire a shot and run.
It even made Wan Minglin somewhat afraid!
This iron lump flying in the sky—he had finally witnessed the power of this aircraft today.
And at this moment!
Banyuan Saburo listened carefully and, seeing that there was indeed no roar of aviation in the sky outside,
The Sichuan Army and the Japanese Army were tangled together, and the uniforms on both sides were covered in mud.
The army of fourteen thousand men now has casualties approaching half its strength.
Brigade Commander Zhang used the Telescope in his hand!
After seeing the Japanese Army planes arrive above their own positions, they did not conduct any bombing.
Their regiment is currently lacking ammunition and provisions.
This old devil roared: "Baka!"
If they receive supplies and the little devils recover their vitality, this battle will be hard to fight.
They all also believed that this was a fleet of planes coming to bomb.
After Brigade Commander Zhang saw it!
The Japanese Army planes were air-dropping, and he shouted: "Son of a turtle!"
"I would like to see what kind of formation these little devils are setting up now."
Both sides fought on this ash-covered mountain, their uniforms all covered in mud, each one like a loach.
Brigade Commander Zhang was cursing and swearing, but Jin Jizhong on the side said: "Brigade Commander!"
At this very moment!
"I have set up the Plaster Flag, yet you are still gathering here."
This area is just too small!
The casualties of the two Detachments are now approaching two thousand men.
Instead, the things being dropped were attached to parachutes.
His heart also suddenly gave a big jump!
Look... just a moment ago there was only one Plaster Flag, now there are two or three more.
Yamashita Kazuo was so angry he was about to explode!
"Immediately set up the Imperial Plaster Flag to signal to the Imperial Aviation that we are the true Imperial Army."
"What on earth is this turtle-bastard formation!"
He climbed up from the ground, pulled up his pants, and suddenly realized.
The Loincloth he was wearing is white cloth!
No sooner said than done, the Adjutant took off his pants and then got the Loincloth out.
Seeing that the fuel was almost gone!
The Sichuan Army was performing even more attentively than the Imperial Army!
"Bakayarō!! ——"
"As long as our anti-aircraft fire opens up fiercely, we will certainly be able to achieve no small results!"
Yamashita Kazuo drew the Nambu Pistol from his waist and fired at Iwata Natsunan!
"Bang bang bang!! ——"
He still decided to observe a bit more: "No rush!"
"Got rich... got rich..."
"Get me an Imperial Plaster Flag!"
"Bakayarō!"
He condemned a series of erroneous actions by the Imperial Aviation!
Segu Qi indicated to Yamashita Kazuo that they should let the Imperial Army set up a cross shape on the mountainside.
"The Japanese Army planes cannot identify it!"
He paced around in a circle!
He discovered that the Imperial Plaster Flag, after experiencing the baptism of artillery fire, was now a pitch-black mess.
Holding the Plaster Flag made from a Loincloth, the Adjutant ran to a high point and waved it at the Japanese Army planes in the sky.
Yamashita Kazuo's Adjutant ran over in a hurry to report.
Iwata Natsunan suspected that this was the Sichuan Army in disguise.
The two old devils now dared not even breathe loudly!
Iwata Natsunan paced around a few times!
This made Segu Qi and Chongteng Qianqiu very distressed!
Every time the Sichuan Army harassed them, it would cause the Imperial Army to suffer casualties of one or two companies or five or six platoons.
Banyuan Saburo and Yamashita Kazuo were chatting happily on the mountainside.
Both sides sounded the gongs to call off the battle, after the two Sichuan Army Brigades fought a hand-to-hand battle.
They set up the M2 Heavy Machine Gun and the Type 26 General Purpose Machine Gun and opened fire on the Japanese planes that were air-dropping.
"Da da da!! ——"
The Machine Guns roared, and countless bullets, like a violent storm, headed toward the Japanese planes!!
