Katayama Riichiro, the brigade commander, was forced to order the entire regiment to leave Pingluo Village.

Half of the surviving devils of the 5th Brigade had already been killed or wounded by the shells.

They had been struggling to hold on.

Now, upon hearing the order to abandon Pingluo Village, where they had spent the night building defenses, and to flee towards Luying Town, every devil in the Sixth Infantry Regiment was filled with joy.

Along the way, Brigade Commander Katayama Riichiro's guard had been greatly reduced. The original company-sized guard was now down to less than seventy devils.

In any case, it finally managed to follow behind the Sixth Infantry Regiment and rush into Luying Town.

Regimental Commander Kuronaga Tatsuji, who had entered Luying Town first, hurriedly came out to greet him, excitedly reporting to Brigade Commander Katayama Riichiro:

"Brigade Commander! There is a ready-made command post here, as well as defensive works. Everything is intact.

I even found a sentence written on the wall by Regimental Commander Ishii Kaho.

'Ishii Kaho was here.'"

Having been fleeing all the way, Brigade Commander Katayama Riichiro initially took the time to observe both sides of the road.

But as the gunfire grew more intense, he could only focus on running, with no time or energy to observe his surroundings.

After entering Luying Town, although he could still hear gunfire, he could sense that it was further away.

At least there was no immediate fear of being shot and killed.

Brigade Commander Katayama Riichiro entered the command post and immediately felt relieved. The command post was very solidly built, at least not easily penetrated by ordinary shells.

With his life safety guaranteed, he regained some spirit and loudly ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to the 11th Army Headquarters: I have arrived in Luying Town.

Change the airdrop supply location."

When they had just set off from Pingluo, time was too tight, and his command post was teetering under the bombardment, threatening to collapse at any moment.

Therefore, they had left in a hurry, and at that time, Brigade Commander Katayama Riichiro was unsure whether he would actually be able to reach Luying Town or not.

Therefore, he had not notified the 11th Army Headquarters.

Now that they had stabilized in Luying Town, Brigade Commander Katayama Riichiro agreed with Regimental Commander Kuronaga Tatsuji's view: the fortifications here were much better than those in Pingluo Village.

As long as they had supplies and heavy weapons, the Fifth Brigade would have no problem holding on for two or three days.

As he thought this, Brigade Commander Katayama Riichiro had forgotten that he had had the same thoughts in Xingwan and Pingluo Village.

At this moment, Lin Fan was operating an anti-aircraft gun and firing at a plane that had suddenly appeared in the sky.

The devils' planes hadn't appeared in days, so the aviation squadron's fighters had not continued to come to escort them.

Only one fighter plane was sent out each day to act as a reconnaissance plane.

Today, six fighter planes and more than twenty transport planes suddenly flew over Pingluo Village.

Aviation Group Commander Takeda Chūichi led six fighter planes and twenty-four transport planes to Pingluo to supply the Fifth Infantry Brigade.

He was very unwilling to come on such a mission, but the order had been personally issued by Commander Okamura Neiji.

Leaving him completely powerless to resist, when he flew his plane over Pingluo, he immediately saw the devils on the ground in fierce battle with the National Army.

There were also National Army planes strafing at low altitude. Group Commander Takeda Chūichi immediately led the fighter planes to dive down.

Watching the chaotic battle on the ground, Aviation Company Commander Miyamoto Yōki didn't know what to do.

Should they drop these supplies or not?

Group Commander Takeda Chūichi ordered: "Drop them!"

He further analyzed: "When it comes to bayonet fighting, if the Imperial Army claims second, there is no team in the world that can claim first.

Although the battle below is chaotic, the Imperial Army will ultimately be victorious.

These supplies will definitely be obtained by the Imperial Army in the end."

With the group commander's order, Company Commander Miyamoto Yōki no longer felt any pressure and immediately ordered: "Drop them!"

Lin Fan had just shot down two diving fighter planes when he saw a string of parachutes falling from the tails of the transport planes in the sky.

Having seen tanks and war chariots being airdropped in his previous life, this scene was not unfamiliar to Lin Fan.

He immediately ordered the fighter squadron that was taking off urgently from Maeda Desolate Village: "Wait on the periphery for now. The devils are sending us supplies.

Let them airdrop all the goods."

That was what he ordered the fighter squadron, but his hands didn't stop. Six of the devils' fighter planes were rushing towards Bian Gang and his ground attack planes one after another.

Aviation Group Commander Takeda Chūichi was an experienced commander. He immediately saw the slow speed of the planes flying at low altitude as a weakness.

He immediately directed the fighter group to dive and attack, but they didn't expect the mantis to stalk the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Lin Fan on the ground had already targeted them. Company Commander Miyamoto Yōki had just finished dropping the supplies in the cargo hold.

He immediately piloted the plane away. He had seen the anti-aircraft guns on the ground.

However, those anti-aircraft guns were busy shooting down the fighter planes and hadn't had time to target the transport planes.

Having dropped the supplies, if they didn't hurry up and escape, were they waiting to be beaten?

Company Commander Miyamoto Yōki was a responsible commander. He didn't secretly escape alone.

Instead, he notified the entire transport plane squadron, telling all the planes in the squadron to quickly push the goods out of the hold and then quickly leave that airspace.

To his relief, not a single one of the twenty-four planes in the entire transport plane group was attacked.

This was a good thing!

Having completed the mission, Company Commander Miyamoto Yōki led the uninjured flight squadron to return.

Just then, a shudder ran through the plane's body!

They were under attack!
