"Don't say I'm eating alone, everyone gets a share this time!"
"From here to Taiyuan, we can't go empty-handed, let's deliver some welcome gifts to Shinozuka Yoshio along the way."
"Big Plate Chicken, you're responsible for the Taigu direction!"
"Luosi Fen, the Shuiquan direction!"
"Sha County Snacks, the Luyang direction!"
"Guo Bao Rou, the Fuan direction!"
"This way, it will be just enough time for the little devils to mobilize the garrisons south of Taiyuan, and then we'll capture them all!"
Huang Tagu, following the brigade headquarters' military map, divided the marching route into four sections, pushing from north to south.
An hour later, TY City.
The devil's command center was in disarray, and Shinozuka Yoshio's mustache beneath his nose twitched wildly.
"Baga!"
"Where did those people come from!"
"How could they stand by and watch the fall of Ping'an County? Were the reinforcements sent from Fuan, Luyang, and Shuiquan asleep?"
He roared, smashing everything in the room.
Just then, a devil rushed in and bowed to him at a ninety-degree angle.
"Desu ne sa......"
"Major General, the Fuan garrison reports that they were attacked by an unidentified armored cluster!"
This news made Shinozuka Yoshio feel uneasy. The troops sent from Fuan to support Ping'an had lost contact after sending an attack report.
That telegram also mentioned an armored cluster.
If this was the work of the same unit, it meant that the regiment sent from Fuan to Ping'an had been wiped out.
A surge of anger rose from his heart, and just as he was about to pound the table and curse, another communications soldier rushed in.
"Desu ne sa........"
"Major General, the Luyang garrison reports being attacked by an armored cluster of unknown origin!"
"Desu ne sa........"
"Major General, the Taigu garrison reports a large-scale air raid!"
"Desu ne sa........"
"Shuiquan reports........"
Four consecutive telegrams with surprisingly consistent content, all reporting overwhelming attacks.
Shinozuka Yoshio, too exhausted to be angry, slumped into his chair, his ominous premonition growing stronger.
"Baga!"
After a long while, he stood up abruptly, walked to the deployment map, and as his gaze swept over it, an unbelievable thought emerged.
"Baga!"
"Their target is TY!"
"Immediately send dispatches to all surrounding garrisons, order them to dispatch one regiment each and rush to support!"
"Order Captain Okutani to have all aircraft airborne, I want to see them appear over TY within twenty minutes!"
On the northern line of Taiyuan, the four cities of Shuiquan were severely depleted of defending troops due to the diversion of forces to support Ping'an.
Missiles accurately hit important locations such as devil barracks and supply depots.
Under Huang Tagu and his men, they couldn't even last half an hour before showing signs of collapse.
Half an hour later, they were less than ten kilometers from TY.
On the city walls, the devil garrison soldiers nervously gripped their Type 38 rifles as they watched the aircraft units rapidly approaching from the horizon.
The airport was about 50 li south of YT. Upon receiving the order, Captain Okutani immediately assembled all aircraft from his three flight squadrons to take off.
Now, 24 Zero fighters were circling above TY.
In the helicopter formation, Lone Wolf, the captain of the wolf pack special forces of the Jianbing Military Region, was leading the way.
Upon seeing the enemy aircraft signals displayed on the radar, he quickly requested instructions through his earpiece.
"This is Lone Wolf, I've detected enemy aircraft, requesting instructions!"
Huang Tagu in the rear heard this and immediately laughed.
"Instructions for what! Just attack them. They're just a bunch of lighters, consider it target practice."
"Roger that!"
Lone Wolf, flying at the forefront of the formation, heard the reply and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Wolf pack members, follow me to meet them!"
"Roger that!"
Several helicopters beside them received the order and immediately increased their speed, charging out of the formation with Lone Wolf.
Lone Wolf, whose real name was Li Jiu, was second to none in the military region for his flying skills and was often respectfully called Master Jiu.
After leading eight other helicopters out of the formation, within minutes, he encountered the devil's Zero fighters in the air.
Captain Okutani frowned as he looked at the helicopters ahead: "Baga, what kind of planes are these!"
The devil's earliest helicopters were the K-3 rotorcraft purchased from the White Eagle, but compared to the 19s, they were like toys!
"Okutani-kun, no matter what kind of planes they are, let's attack first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a Zero from the devil's side rushed out and launched the first attack on the wolf pack.
The Zero fighter was equipped only with Type 99 cannons and Type 97 machine guns. These weapons had to be fired at close range to be effective. If fired from a distance, who knew where the bullets would go.
Captain Okutani did not stop him when he rushed out, but he did not follow either.
He was observing, observing whether the combat capability of the opposing aircraft was as imposing as their appearance.
"Bang bang bang bang........"
The devil acting as the vanguard began firing when he was about two kilometers away from Master Jiu. Master Jiu smiled slightly, operated his helicopter in an S-shaped maneuver, and dodged the bullets coming from diagonally above.
As he brushed past the Zero directly overhead, he instantly performed a solo ballet, turning 180 degrees with the nose of the aircraft as the center.
Then, to Captain Okutani's bewildered astonishment, he tilted the nose of the aircraft at a large angle and locked the Zero with his radar.
"You little bastard! Get lost........"
He pressed the fire button, and a missile detached from the suspension and shot towards the Zero.
The pilot of the Zero fighter, seeing that he hadn't hit Master Jiu, was about to attack the other helicopters behind him, completely unaware that a living Yama was catching up from behind.
But Captain Okutani in the distance instantly turned pale and quickly called out to him via radio.
"Baga, Hosugi-san, be careful behind you!"
The distance between the two sides was less than three thousand meters, and the missile's speed was much faster than the Zero.
Upon hearing the warning, Hosugi-san had no time to react before feeling a violent jolt in the fuselage, and then he and his fighter jet turned into brilliant fireworks above Taiyuan.
"He... tui......"
"They don't even have radar, attacking these things is easier than target practice!"
Master Jiu looked at the falling wreckage of the Zero planes and contemptuously gave them the middle finger.
Captain Okutani's face was as dark as water. Although he had lost a fighter jet, he had at least seen the opponent's attack methods.
Although he didn't quite understand, he was sure that such missiles would not be accurate in long-range attacks!
Well, it was like using a cannon to hit a moving target.
"Baga! Don't engage them in close combat, maintain distance!"
