Faced with this unexpected result, the team leader was not discouraged.

This was just the first attack of the counterattack troops. Although they did not achieve the goal of destroying the national rescue army in one battle, the battlefield advantage was still in their own hands, and their attack just now was not completely lost.

More than a dozen aviation bombs and hundreds of shells hit the national rescue army's positions, and the blind cat hit the rat to death can kill many people.

This means that the strength of the National Salvation Army in the encirclement has become weaker again. As long as you are ready, the subsequent attack will definitely be easier.

The biggest problem now is the smoke released by the National Salvation Army on the battlefield. They seriously blocked the pilots and artillerymen's sight, making it impossible for them to accurately attack the National Salvation Army's positions.

As long as you find a way to solve this problem, the casualties of the National Salvation Army will rise sharply, and the counterattack troops will easily kill them.

The corps captain frowned and thought for a while and ordered: "Send a telegram to the front-line counterattack troops: The National Salvation Army blocks our sight by setting off smoke, and we can also do the opposite. By firing smoke bombs, guide the artillery and aircraft to attack the target. If one shell fails to hit the target, it will fire two. If two are not enough, it will smash four over. The same is true for aviation bombs, don't be afraid of consumption!"

"As long as we can kill the National Savior Army in the encirclement, no matter how much ammunition we use, the military headquarters will replenish us!"

On the battlefield, watching the Japanese and puppet troops retreat in a panic, although Chen Zhengyu's expression was still as serious as ever, his expression obviously became much more relaxed.

During the attack just now, air strikes, artillery attacks, and subsequent attacks took about an hour and a half.

The two planes cruising over the battlefield also left and it took two hours to return to the battlefield.

This means that the troops will have nearly two hours of rest time. By the way, the Japanese and puppet troops who had just finished attacking will be dark after two or three more attacks.

Therefore, Chen Zhengyu was obviously more confident about whether he could persevere until dark than before.

While observing the situation on the battlefield through the shooting hole, we ordered: "Notify all troops and seize the time to repair the anti-aircraft artillery hole while the new round of attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops has not yet begun."

"In the next battle, be sure to ensure that every soldier has an anti-cannon hole to hide."

"Let them come out with a few more fake positions. Next, the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely send more planes to bomb us. The more bombs the camouflage positions consume, the less pressure the combat troops will be."

Chen Zhengyu calculated that the Japanese army would send more planes to bomb him, but he did not count that the Japanese army would have such great determination to destroy him.

In less than an hour, the roar of the engine came from the sky.

Chen Zhengyu was shocked and a bad premonition flashed in his mind.

The Japanese plane came so fast, and the roar was much louder than before, which was so unusual.

Subconsciously rushing out of the concrete castle, he looked in the direction where the sound came with his head.

The sky was full of gray smoke, and nothing could be seen. After a few black dots appearing on the edge of the sky slowly revealed their true appearance, Chen Zhengyu could see them through the smoke.

His face suddenly became particularly ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Japanese are so cruel that they actually increased the planes to four. Do they want to razed our position to the ground?"

"I inform the troops to prepare for air defense. This time the Japanese came in full force and dispatched four planes to bomb us. The troops must be scattered and hidden, otherwise they will definitely be bombed and suffered heavy casualties."

"Buzz...woo...rumble..."

In less than five minutes, the Japanese plane that reached the battlefield launched an attack.

Amid the harsh whistling sound, black aviation bombs kept falling down, causing a lot of soil and black smoke...

Chen Zhengyu was very glad that he made sufficient preparations as required by the regiment commander. Among the eight aviation bombs that had been smashed, except for two bombs falling near the trenches, killing and injuring nearly two infantry squad soldiers, the remaining six bombs hit the fake positions disguised by the troops, and did not cause any losses to the troops.

This result made Chen Zhengyu feel tense and nervous.

Among all the attack methods that the Japanese and puppet troops could use, what Chen Zhengyu was most afraid of was air strikes.

Now that he has two killer weapons, camouflage position and smoke, the threat posed by air strikes to the troops will be greatly reduced, so he has nothing to be afraid of.

"Wuwuwuwu...boombo..." The bombing of the plane continued, but Chen Zhengyu's eyes had shifted from the bomb to the Japanese and puppet troops' attacking troops to determine whether there was any conspiracy in their next attack.

He could not see it very clearly under the smoke.

At this moment, the combat staff guarding another shooting hole suddenly cried out, his tone very flustered.

"Chief of Staff, if there is a situation, the Japanese will fire smoke signal flares to our position! Use smoke as a signal to guide the planes in the sky to bomb us!"

Chen Zhengyu became anxious as soon as he heard this.

Finally, the threat of air strikes was lifted by using smoke and camouflage positions, and the casualties rate of troops in the air strikes also decreased. Chen Zhengyu did not want to make the air strikes threaten the safety of the troops again because of an accident.

Walking quickly to the shooting hole where the combat staff is located, he looked out.

The orange smoke produced by the burning of the signal smoke bomb has risen from the ground.

Under the cover of black smoke, I didn't see it very clearly at first. As the signal smoke rose higher and higher, the cover area became wider and wider. The black smoke around the signal flare began to change color because of the pink signal smoke mixed with...

The Japanese pilot must have seen the change of smoke. An airplane dived towards the location of the signal smoke without hesitation, and the speed was very fast...

"Woooooooooooooo... rumbling..." Chen Zhengyu clearly saw the aviation bomb breaking away from the constraints of the plane and hit the ground with a scream. Amid the violent explosion, the black smoke rising from the air directly formed a huge mushroom cloud at the location of the smoke bomb.

Seeing Chen Zhengyu's face getting heavier, the combat staff on the side quickly introduced: "Chief of Staff, the smoke bomb was hit on a machine gun castle, and the aviation bomb thrown by the Japanese almost hit next to the smoke bomb. The machine gun castle at that location must have been blown up!"

Chen Zhengyu punched the concrete wall around the shooting hole, gritted his teeth, and ordered with a painful look on his face: "Go and find out immediately, how many troops we lost in the bombing just now!"

The combat staff rushed to the phone to make a phone call, and the combat staff monitored by another shooting hole also started to scream.

"Chief of Staff, the Japanese and puppet troops are also firing smoke signal flares to me!"

Chen Zhengyu ran over and saw an airplane diving towards the smoke signal flare. In less than ten seconds, thick black smoke rose from the ground in the explosion, and the explosion also reached the command center.

The expression on Chen Zhengyu's face became more and more serious, his fists were pinching tighter, and his eyes were red, as if they could spit fire.

The combat staff who called came towards him with a serious look on his face: "Chief of Staff, I contacted the Pacification Guard. The aviation bomb that hit the signal flare just now happened to hit the machine gun castle!"

"The castle was bombed into ruins, and a heavy machine gun squad and two light machine gun teams stationed inside were completely destroyed, and no soldier ran out."

"The two infantry squads guarding next to the castle were also affected, and more than 20 soldiers were all killed..."

The painful expression on Chen Zhengyu's face became stronger. A bomb killed one of his own troops and a concrete castle. The loss was even greater than before using the encounter and camouflage position.

If this problem is not solved as soon as possible, the remaining bombs brought by the plane can severely damage yourself...

"Report to the Chief of Staff, an aviation bomb that just exploded also hit our machine gun castle. The concrete castle was destroyed on the spot. All the soldiers inside... The troops outside the castle also lost two infantry squads!" Another combat staff member came over to report as soon as he put down the phone.

After hearing the second bad news, Chen Zhengyu had the intention to curse and ordered with a calm face: "Let me find a way to solve the problem of smoke bombs immediately, otherwise the castle on the position will not only not protect the safety of the soldiers, but will also become the tombs of the soldiers!"

After saying that, he stared at the two staff officers and asked: "The position is so big and there is smoke blocking the view. How do they know the specific location of the machine gun castle? Could it be that they have golden eyes!"

An operational staff member seemed to understand some situations and hesitated to answer: "Report to the Chief of Staff, I think the Japanese judges judge the specific location of the castle through the fire point, and it is also the fire point of the heavy machine gun."

"The second bombed castle was hit by smoke bombs and fired at the Japanese and puppet troops. Although the smoke could cover the Japanese and puppet troops' vision, it could not cover the gunshots. Well-trained gunners could completely judge the specific location of the machine gunshots by gunshots!"

"Judge the position by listening to the sound?" Chen Zhengyu frowned and fell into deep thought.

Half a minute later, he suddenly shouted: "There is a way. We used the bodies of the Japanese and puppet troops, the bombed artillery and heavy machine guns to disguise fake positions, and deceived the Japanese and puppet troops' eyes, but could not deceive the Japanese and puppet troops' ears."

"Since they helped the plane guide the bombing targets through the sound of guns and cannons, we will start from here, use the sound of guns and cannons to disguise the fake positions, and tempt the Japanese and puppet troops to fire smoke bombs on our fake positions, so that the plane can blow up the fake targets!"

"Call Commander Fang and Captain Tan immediately and ask them to draw a few heavy machine gun squads and a few mountain gun squads to disguise fake positions in the middle of the two trenches, misleading the Japanese to fire smoke bombs at them."

"From the smoke bomb landing to the Japanese pilots discovering the smoke bomb and launching an attack on the plane, this process is about half a minute. As long as the camouflage troops are fast enough, it will be fine to transfer 100 meters in half a minute. Even if a bomb hits the smoke bomb, it will not hurt them."

"It's decided that the two of you will send troops to execute immediately."

"During the process of consuming the bombs, all the heavy machine guns stationed in the castle remained unmoved. If any Japanese and puppet troops attacked us, they would use light machine guns to repel them."

"When will the aircraft be used up to all the aviation bombs, and when will the heavy machine guns join the battle?"

On a small pile of soil more than 300 meters away from the trench, three Japanese artillery soldiers had been here for half an hour, and they all raised their ears to listen to the movements on the positions of the National Salvation Army.

"Boom..." A cannon sound suddenly sounded on the position, attracting all the attention of the three observers.

As a qualified artillery observer, no one knows artillery better than them.

As soon as I heard the sound of the cannon, I knew that the one who fired just now was a 75mm caliber mountain cannon standard equipped by the Imperial Army. It has a long range and great power. Only troops with a general wing size are equipped.

The three of them stayed here for so long and found heavy machine guns. Now they suddenly discovered an amazingly powerful mountain cannon, which is like a good thing about a pie falling from the sky. They all wanted to seize the opportunity to destroy this cannon.

"Boom..." When the second cannon sound reached their ears, the three of them had their own judgment on the specific position of the cannon.

After a little comparison, the final result appeared in the hands of the second lieutenant...

One minute later, three smoke bombs hit the mountain cannon positions at the same time.

Several gunners who were firing the gun saw the smoke bomb, just like a mouse seeing a cat, pushing the mountain cannon and running away from the smoke bomb.

Some people are responsible for pulling the cannon, and some are pushing it from behind...

When they ran out for more than 60 meters, an aviation bomb fell from the sky and hit behind them.

As soon as the explosion sounded, the hot air waves and shock waves were like strong winds, sweeping over from their backs quickly. The last two gunners were pushed to the ground because they were not prepared and fell to eat shit.

"Is anyone injured?" the artillery platoon leader asked anxiously.

"It's okay, I just fell!" The two gunners reported while getting up.

"Then we continue to retreat, faster!" The cannon platoon leader said with lingering fear.

The aviation bomb landed more than 40 meters behind them. If they retreated ten seconds later, they would definitely be bombed.

The same battle took place in every corner of the battlefield. Some machine gun squads and artillery platoons escaped from the nose of the plane, and some soldiers were unable to escape because they reacted too slowly or the bombs thrown by the plane were too biased.

However, the overall casualties of the troops during the bombing decreased sharply, and the aircraft dropped ten bombs in a row, so the troops lost less than two platoons.

If it were placed in a camouflage position, a Japanese aviation bomb could cause such great casualties to the troops.

At 4:30 pm, Zhou Cheng was the first to fight to the battlefield.

The Japanese and puppet troops are launching their fourth attack on the Chief of Staff, which is also the last attack during the day today.

If we cannot eat the national rescue army in the encirclement, the plane will be unable to reinforce the battlefield because it is dark.

If you can't take it off with plane cover during the day, you can't get it off. If you don't have plane cover at night, the shelling effect will be greatly reduced, so it will be even more impossible to take them off.

Moreover, night battles are a very good fighting style that the National Salvation Army is. If they take advantage of the chaos in the battle, it will be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, the Japanese and puppet troops attacked very fiercely this time, and wanted to seize the last chance to resolve the battle before dark, otherwise there would be too many possible changes on the battlefield after dark.

"Captain, the Chief of Staff has not had many troops in his hands after hearing the gunshots. Let's go, I'm afraid they won't be able to end the battle!" The guard battalion commander who protected Zhou Cheng's safety proposed urgently!
