Chapter 294 The Battle of Flying Eagle Fort Begins
Monkey and others went up to Feiying Fort and smiled happily at Yuan Shuai.
"Boss, you are so unethical. You never take us with you when you fight the Japanese. You only think of us when you are in trouble!"
"That's right. You kept us awake. I'll make it up to you now that I've defeated you!"
Yuan Shuai shouted angrily.
"You two little brats, why are you here just now? If you come any later, you will have to collect my corpse. Let's set up an air defense position first!"
"Oh, it looks like a big bird is coming!"
"Good fellow, you're here to shoot a big bird, it's not a wasted trip!"
Monkey Fatty and others quickly placed light and heavy machine guns according to the positions indicated by Yuan Shuai.
Shitou, Goudan and others were dumbfounded.
Although there were only a hundred or so Monkey and his men.
But these more than one hundred people actually brought twelve Maxim rifles and fifteen 82 mortars.
There are also Czech machine guns and grenade launchers.
They spent a long time counting the Czech machine guns but still couldn't figure them out, but there were at least thirty of them.
"Goudan, am I dazzled by all these light and heavy machine guns?"
Shi Tou wiped his eyes and looked at the Black Wolf Army in disbelief.
"No, I'm not seeing things. It's true. There are too many of them. Brother Shitou, why don't we just join the Black Wolf Army?"
"Shut up, we are the Eighth Route Army!"
"We are just guerrillas, and our class is still a reserve team!"
"The reserve troops will also become regular troops in the future!"
Shitou rolled his eyes at Goudan in annoyance.
They were indeed the guerrillas' reserve force. Because they lagged behind during the previous ambush and did not go down to the road, they were able to retreat safely in the end.
However, when Goudan saw that the Black Wolf Army had such a small number of people but had so many powerful weapons and equipment, he wanted to defect to the Black Wolf Army immediately.
But Shitou is the captain of the reserve team after all. He feels that if he betrays the guerrillas, he would be a traitor. No matter how good the weapons of the Black Wolf Army are, he will not be a traitor.
Meanwhile, Yuan Shuai was constantly directing the troops in their battle formations.
In addition to setting up air defense positions, artillery positions must also be set up, and people must be arranged to set up minefields along the way.
However, the reason why Feiying Fort is called Feiying Fort is because there are many caves on the mountain.
These caves were once the habitats of eagles.
Although the caves are not big, some of them can hide one or two people, and some caves can hide four or five people.
Many light and heavy machine guns are placed next to these caves.
Once the Japanese bombed the anti-aircraft positions, the machine gunners would be able to hide in the caves to avoid the bombardment.
After a long time, all the arrangements have been made.
The Japanese vanguard has also arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The Japanese squadron leader looked up at the towering Flying Eagle Fort and was completely dumbfounded.
"Damn it! It's so high. It must be at least 700 meters high!"
Moreover, the road up the mountain is only accessible to horse-drawn carriages, and tanks have no way of going up.
The artillery reconnaissance team behind had also arrived at the hillside beside the road.
They originally thought that they could see farther by standing on the hillside.
But they saw that Flying Eagle Fort was too high. Looking up from the bottom, they could not see the houses inside the Fort at all.
But they could only keep observing through the artillery telescope.
Unfortunately, all the Black Wolf troops have already gone into hiding.
The Japanese artillery observers were unable to find these hidden Black Wolf troops at all.
They could only order the field artillery battalion behind them to bombard Feiying Fort.
At the same time, the puppet army's mortars, as well as the vanguard's infantry guns and grenade launchers were also conducting exploratory bombardments towards Flying Eagle Fort.
A series of shells landed and exploded on the Eagle Fort Mountain.
Shitou and Goudan hid in a stone cave.
Looking at the smoke from artillery shells and gunpowder everywhere outside, Shitou and Goudan gritted their teeth and cursed.
"The damn Japs, they actually brought so many artillery pieces!"
"Fortunately there are many caves on the mountain, otherwise they would have blown us to ashes!"
The monkey said with a smile.
"Don't worry, the Japs are just conducting a test bombing, they will stop in a short while!"
"A test bombing? So many shells, and still a test bombing?!"
Stone looked at the monkey in disbelief.
Goudan couldn't help but curse.
"So many shells, but it was just a test bombing. Damn the Japs, they are all losers!"
Sure enough, after the artillery bombardment, it stopped.
However, the smoke was still lingering on the hillside of Flying Eagle Castle and had not completely dissipated.
When the Japanese artillery observer saw that his exploratory bombing failed to kill any target, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word for a long time.
However, the sound of a plane flying behind him made him turn around suddenly.
"Yoshi, the plane is finally here!"
I saw ten planes behind me flying quickly towards Feiying Fort.
The pilots were only 400 meters above the ground, but when they saw the Flying Eagle Fort, they frowned and cursed.
"Baga! It's so high!"
"Stretch height!"
All aircraft quickly gained altitude.
After all, Flying Eagle Castle is more than 700 meters above the foot of the mountain.
If they wanted to bomb Eagle Fort, they had to reach an altitude of nine hundred to one thousand meters.
"The plane, the plane is coming!"
Inside a stone cave in Feiying Fort, Shitou and Goudan saw the plane coming and were so scared that their faces turned pale and cold sweat broke out.
"Damn, ten planes!"
"Too many. With so many bombing planes, the entire Flying Eagle Fort might be flattened!"
"action!"
The monkey in the cave shouted, and the brothers inside rushed out quickly and came to the heavy machine gun that had been set up and prepared for battle.
Some light machine gunners have also set up their light machine guns.
Soon, all light and heavy machine gunners were in place.
However, although Fang Yongqing had a Czech machine gun, he did not go out but hid in a cave.
Looking at the plane flying in the distance, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Damn you, Japs! Why are there so many planes? We only have over a hundred people here!"
After cursing, he raised his head and glanced at the top of the cave, muttering to himself.
"I wonder if this cave is solid!"
"Lieutenant Colonel, they are all out! Should we go out?"
One of his men pointed at the light and heavy machine gunners not far away.
"Damn it, these people really don't care about their lives! Stay in the cave and wait and see!"
Fang Yongqing didn't dare to go out. After all, there were only nine of him left and no more people could die.
At this time, the marshal was personally controlling a Maxim rifle and looking at the planes in the sky.
Two thousand meters...
One thousand meters...
Eight hundred meters...
"Fire!"
Yuan Shuai roared, and a series of bullets spurted out, trailing flames.
The bullet seemed to have eyes and headed straight for the front plane.
The bullet arrived in the blink of an eye at a distance of 800 meters. Before the Japanese pilot could react, the bullet penetrated the plane and hit him.
After being hit, the pilot's head tilted and he became unresponsive, and the entire plane rolled down.
