On the second day of the battle at the Gray Cloud Ridge.
Although no one had slept much last night, every soldier of the new regiment was full of energy.
The news that the 1st Battalion had retrieved four Type 92 cannons and a large number of artillery shells last night, along with the Japanese's artillery positions, had spread throughout the entire regiment.
This made all the warriors smile. They were even happier than the New Year.
The Type 92 Infantry Cannon was a good thing for the 8th Route Army.
In history, the Eighth Route Army had very few cannons. They only had mortars, and there were only one or two infantry cannons. Their status was higher than family heirlooms.
Now that the new regiment had four infantry cannons, they did not have to worry about the Japanese's turrets or the Japanese's blockhouses. They did not have to use human lives to fill them up in the future.
All the soldiers in the regiment were happy. Li Yun Long was so happy that he almost couldn't sleep for the entire night.
However, after daybreak, Li Yunlong calmed down.
After one. During the night shift, the division headquarters and the field hospital were almost done moving. When the shift was completed, the new regiment would have to face the problem of breaking out of the encirclement.
Li Yun Long had his own idea of where to break out from, but now, the situation was a little different.
However, before Li Yunlong could figure it out, a new day of battle had already erupted.
The Japanese gathered some firepower and began to organize an attack.
The battle once again broke out on the battlefield of the Gray Cloud Ridge.
However, both Ye Ming and Li Yun Long noticed that something was wrong when the battle started.
The Japanese had attacked several times in a row, mostly to test the waters.
"Old Li, the Japanese are gathering their forces while trying to attack. It doesn't look normal.”Ye Ming put down the Barrett on the sandbag and said seriously.
"It's indeed a little unusual. Usually, the Japanese will only show such behavior when they are about to launch a large-scale attack. However, now that the Japanese have no firepower support, organizing such an attack is simply courting death.”
Li Yunlong's expression was also quite serious as he continued,""The Japanese won't attack until the last moment. The only possibility is that they have reinforcements.”
Ye Ming shook his head when he heard that. The Japanese forces had not changed at all. There were no reinforcements at night.
Ye Ming had already confirmed this fact on the map, so the only possibility was…
Thinking of this, Ye Ming looked up at the cloudless sky and reminded solemnly,""Pay attention to air defense!"
The word " air defense " made Li Yunlong understand at once. He immediately called Zhang Dabiao and informed the entire regiment to gather all the light machine guns in the first battalion and prepare for air defense.
As expected, less than half an hour after Li Yunlong's order was passed down, Ye Ming saw more than twenty red dots approaching quickly on the map.
At the same time, with his extraordinary eyes, Ye Ming followed the direction of the map and saw more than twenty black dots approaching in the distant sky.
The 20 plus planes that came were all the main models of the Japanese Air Force. There were a few Type 96 fighter jets, and the rest were all Type 99 dive bomber planes.
The Type 96 fighter jet was the most powerful fighter jet of the Japanese before the Type 0 fighter jet entered service. It was also the main model of the Japanese naval aviation.
As for the Type 99 Dive Bomber, it was the most important bomber in the Chinese battlefield before the Japanese's land attack aircraft entered service.
The Japanese's aerial forces in North China were not deployed around Jinzhong. It was a lot to be able to send out more than 20 planes at once.
Before the Japanese planes arrived, the new regiment of 20 light machine guns had already been prepared.
The 8th Route Army rarely had professional anti-air weapons. In addition, they were often bombed by Japanese planes. Using light machine guns to defend against air was a skill that the 8th Route Army was very familiar with.
Although light machine guns were not suitable for air defense, because the range of light machine guns was often unable to attack the bomber at high altitudes.
However, the Japanese didn't have any high-altitude bomber aircraft. Whether it was the 96 or 99, they needed to attack at a low altitude. This also gave the light machine guns a chance to threaten them.
As the engine of the aircraft approached, Ye Ming grabbed the Barrett under Li Yunlong's confused gaze. He put the butt of the gun against his shoulder and pointed the muzzle in the direction of the aircraft fleet.
Ye Ming could clearly see the incoming Japanese fleet. Through the scope, he could even see the ferocious face of the Japanese pilot.
Ye Ming's godlike sniping skills gave him confidence. Most importantly, the Japanese's plane was not fast.
In fact, Ye Ming was confident that he could shoot down a modern supersonic fighter jet under the right weather, environment, and angle, let alone a propeller plane from World War II.
The Barrett's butt was pressed against his shoulder, firmly locking onto the first pilot aircraft in the Japanese fleet. Ye Ming controlled his breathing steadily, keeping the muzzle of the gun steady.
At the same time, the muzzle of Ye Ming's gun moved along with the Japanese's first plane. Three seconds later, as if he had found the rhythm, Ye Ming pulled the trigger decisively.
The armor-piercing incendiary bullets that were already prepared in the chamber were instantly fired.
The Barrett's huge recoil and the lack of three. The angle frame dampened the recoil, and the huge force of the shot was all applied to Ye Ming's shoulder.
If it weren't for the fact that he had three times the physical fitness of a human, this shot would have taken Ye Ming half a month to recover.
However, thanks to his strong physique, the Barrett's recoil didn't affect Ye Ming much.
Li Yunlong, who was staring at Ye Ming, immediately picked up his binoculars and looked at the Japanese fleet.
The Type 96 fighter jet flying at the front suddenly emitted a thick flame less than two seconds after the bullet was fired and slid down to the ground. It landed.
Even though Li Yun Long had been shocked by Ye Ming many times, he still looked at Ye Ming as if he was looking at an inhuman person.
In fact, only Ye Ming himself saw that the armor-piercing incendiary bullet had accurately penetrated the Japanese pilot's cabin. The 12.7mm bullet not only easily penetrated the windshield of the plane's cockpit and tore the pilot inside into pieces, but also penetrated the cockpit and ignited the fuel pipe.
This was a very confident shot. The moment he fired, Ye Ming already knew that this shot would definitely hit the target. This was the innate talent of a super sniper.
Therefore, Ye Ming, who had killed one of the Japanese planes, had already aimed at the second Japanese plane.
