Chapter 834: Friendly Forces' Combat Methods
Captain Ge almost lost his balance and fell to the side. The other side was just a deputy company commander, but he actually had the function of contacting the Air Force. You should know that the security of Tianjin Airport is not high, so there are not many planes, and most of the planes fly from the north.
Such a precious aircraft, yet the command was placed in the hands of a deputy company commander. Captain Ge really didn't see clearly what was going on. But fifteen minutes later, the position in front suffered a large-scale bombing, and this became clear.
"Based on what you just said, Uribala, do they know where to smash it?"
Captain Ge also changed the medicine on his arm. At this moment, he felt the injured area was cool. Originally, it was at most wrapped with a layer of gauze. As for hemostatic drugs and the like, there were definitely none. It was already quite difficult for the 29th Army to guarantee the soldiers' salaries and ammunition. If they still expected to purchase various medicines, it would be pure wishful thinking.
"Commanders, we've divided the battlefield into certain areas. When I contact them from a certain location, they'll naturally know which area they're in. Just now, when we were bombing, didn't you see my soldiers throw out two grenades? Those things emit a different kind of smoke, and that's how the soldier over there knew where to bomb."
When Deputy Company Commander Zhou was speaking, he pointed to a smoke bomb 150 meters in front of the position and said that the planes in the sky dropped small bombs of 25 kilograms, so this thing can be used. If the bomb is larger, this thing may not be usable. At such a close distance, we may be blown up at any time.
"Ground combat troops, ground combat troops, please answer, please answer, this is the second bombing squadron, this is the second bombing squadron, low on fuel, returning immediately, low on fuel, returning immediately, but we still have eleven bombs, please indicate the bombing target, please indicate the bombing target."
While the two were chatting, this voice came from the intercom next to them. Deputy Company Commander Zhou didn't bother to explain to Captain Ge. He immediately picked up the binoculars in his hand, looked at some areas in front of him, and then waved to the side. A German general-purpose machine gun was brought over, but the bullet was a bit strange.
Ordinary bullets are made of brass, but this bullet is actually covered with white coating. Everyone didn’t understand what it was, but they soon found out what it was used for. It was used to guide targets for planes in the sky, and it was used to guide targets hundreds of meters away.
When the bullet is fired, it not only has a light-drawing effect, but also produces some purple-red smoke after hitting the ground. When it is concentrated in one place, the planes in the sky will instantly understand that this is the target they are attacking at the moment.
In fact, this is a modification of the tracer bullet. In the system bullet, each bullet is followed by a tracer bullet, which is used to correct the machine gunner. Later, this kind of smoke bullet appeared in the system. It is specially used to guide the target for the aircraft when the visibility is good during the day.
Two bombers dived down quickly in the sky. When the Japanese saw the smoke, they thought it was poison gas, so they ran around and covered their mouths and noses. But after a while, they found that it was not the case. These guys remembered that there was something on the position, so they walked back while dispersing the smoke.
Just as they returned to their location, planes came down from the sky and dropped eleven 25-kilogram bombs directly on the Japanese positions.
"Damn, this is so satisfying."
Captain Ge was stunned. He didn't expect that a war could be fought in this way. A Japanese battalion could originally have no problem defeating their reinforced regiment, but now, with the support of more than one hundred people, they had suffered more than half of their own casualties. Except for the attack they just launched, they didn't even have a decent attack.
Except for the Haiguang Temple position, the major positions of the 38th Division of the 29th Army in Tianjin were basically the same today. Apart from losing the lives of 1,900 soldiers, the Japanese did not make any progress. Commander Terauchi was so anxious that he screamed.
At the beginning of the attack, all the troops had sent back telegrams saying that they were making good progress and would be able to capture the 29th Army's position within the scheduled time. In addition, spies had also heard that the 29th Army headquarters had issued orders to all troops that if they really could not resist, they could retreat.
Just when victory was at hand, the 72nd Army suddenly intervened. More than 2,900 soldiers were divided into a dozen small teams and began to support the various positions of the 29th Army. In addition, more than 160 aircraft flew over Tianjin at different time periods, causing great losses to the Japanese.
"Where are our planes? I want to know what happened to our Empire's planes. Where did they go? The Second Air Division was assigned to our North China battlefield this time. There are over 500 planes. Where did they go?"
Commander Terauchi said angrily that the battlefield in North China was also very important. When the Imperial Headquarters held a meeting, it was stated that this place would be the first war position at the beginning of the war. The Second Flying Division was specially allocated to them, but at this moment, more than 160 planes were wreaking havoc in the sky, and none of their planes could be found.
"Reporting to His Excellency the Commander, the Second Flying Division was transferred from Korea. When they arrived in the Northeast, the 72nd Army Air Force in Rehe and Chahar provinces directly launched air strikes on major targets in the Northeast. The Second Flying Division..."
The operations staff didn't know what to say. To put it bluntly, the 2nd Air Division was requisitioned by the Kwantung Army.
Hundreds of bombers were bombing major targets in the Northeast, and the Second Flying Division could not just stand there and watch. When the combat missions in North China were not given, they had to help the Kwantung Army defend.
But the problem is that when these planes took off, the planes of the 72nd Army immediately turned back. By the time they flew back and landed, the situation on the battlefield in North China had changed. Anyway, when you are needed, the Northeast is in crisis, and when you are not needed, you are free.
The main one cannot support North China!
