Early the next morning, all the soldiers of the new regiment were talking about how wonderful the battle last night was.
Although the soldiers did not rest much, they were all in high spirits.
Last night, the 1st Battalion had brought back five cannons and a large number of shells. They had even destroyed the Japanese's artillery base, greatly boosting the morale of the new regiment.
Therefore, every soldier was beaming with joy in the morning, as if it was the new year.
Now that they had the Type 92 Infantry Cannon, they did not have to sacrifice lives to fill the Japanese's machine guns when they attacked the Japanese's bunkers and turrets.
In the past, the 8th Route Army only had a few mortars. There were too few good things like the Type 92 infantry cannon. They were treated like ancestors in the army.
The 1st Battalion had actually brought back five gates, which made everyone in the New Regiment extremely happy.
Especially Li Yunlong. He was so happy that he didn't sleep the whole night. It was as if he had just married a wife.
As the sky gradually brightened, Li Yunlong gradually calmed down.
The division headquarters and the field hospital had been relocated overnight, and the new regiment was about to break out of the encirclement.
Li Yun Long already had a strategy for how to break out of the encirclement, but now, the situation had changed.
However, before Li Yunlong could continue thinking, the Japanese had already begun their attack.
The Japanese gathered a squadron of soldiers and launched the first battle of the day.
Gunfire rang out once again in the Gray Cloud Ridge.
However, not long after this battle, Lu Yan and Li Yunlong both felt that something was wrong.
Although the Japanese kept attacking, they began to retreat after a short while.
"Old Li, something's wrong. The Japanese are obviously testing us.”Lu Yan raised his head in front of the scope and said seriously.
"There is something wrong. We have encountered the Japanese doing this before, but they were preparing for a large-scale attack. Now that the Japanese have lost so much heavy firepower, doing this is no different from courting death.”
Li Yunlong calmly watched the battle in front of him and continued,""The Japanese are going to fight to the death, but it doesn't seem like it. There's only one explanation.”
Lu Yan shook his head slightly. There were still so many Japanese on the System Map. There shouldn't be any other reinforcements.
Without support from the land, the only possibility was…
Thinking of this, Lu Yan looked up at the cloudless sky and said,"Air support."
When Li Yunlong heard Lu Yan's words, he instantly understood and immediately issued an order," In order to prevent aerial attacks, all the light weapons and heavy guns of the regiment were gathered in the first battalion.
Less than an hour after Li Yunlong gave the order, Lu Yan saw more than 20 red dots rapidly approaching on the System Map.
Lu Yan, who had superb vision, saw the 20 or so rapidly moving red dots according to the location shown on the map.
These 20-plus fighter jets belonged to the Japanese Air Corps. There were six to seven Type 97 fighter jets, and the rest were all Type 95 fighter jets.
The Type 97 fighter jet was a single-seat single-wing fighter jet developed by the Japanese Army Air Force.
The Type 95 fighter jet had high agility and was a biplane fighter jet.
The Japanese had deployed more than 20 planes this time. It was a very generous move.
This was because the Japanese Air Force in North China was not deployed around Jinzhong.
However, the new regiment had already set up their machine guns and was ready to deal with this gap.
Because the 8th Route Army did not have professional air defense equipment, every time they faced the Japanese planes 'bombardment, the 8th Route Army would choose to use light and heavy machine guns to attack.
However, light machine guns were not very good anti-air weapons because their range was too short to attack fighter planes at high altitudes.
However, the Japanese's planes were not classified as high-altitude bomber planes. For example, the 979 and 959 fighter planes could only attack at low altitudes, so the light machine guns had a chance to attack the planes.
As the Japanese fighter jet approached, the roar became louder and louder.
At this moment, Li Yunlong looked at Lu Yan in surprise. Lu Yan picked up the Mauser 98K, put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, and aimed the muzzle in the direction of the Japanese fighter jet.
In Lu Yan's eyes, the Japanese fighter jet became clearer and clearer. Through the scope, Lu Yan could clearly see the ugly face of the Japanese pilot.
The Japanese fighter jet was not flying very fast, so Lu Yan had absolute confidence in sniping it.
As long as the conditions were right, Lu Yan was confident that he could shoot down even a modern jet fighter, not to mention a spiral jet fighter during the Anti-Japanese War.
The Mauser 98K was steadily mounted on Lu Yan's body. The crosshair of the scope was already aimed at the Japanese pilot. Lu Yan took a deep breath and slowly relaxed, allowing the gun to remain stable.
The muzzle of the Kar98K followed the movement of the pilot plane. Two seconds later, Lu Yan, who had made up his mind, decisively pulled the trigger.
In an instant, the armor-piercing incendiary bullet left the barrel.
The powerful recoil of the Mauser 98K was completely applied to Lu Yan's shoulder.
Fortunately, Lu Yan's body was different from ordinary people's. Otherwise, he would have to lie in bed for at least ten days.
However, Lu Yan's body used to be strong, so the recoil of the 98K did not affect him.
Li Yunlong was dumbfounded. He quickly picked up his binoculars and looked at the Japanese fleet.
Two seconds later, the leading aircraft emitted thick smoke and quickly crashed into the ground.
Li Yunlong was completely stunned.
Lu Yan did not care about this at all because he believed that he would definitely hit it.
Lu Yan had no time to care about Li Yunlong's feelings because the second Japanese plane had already appeared in his scope.
