At the independent battalion headquarters, a battle deployment meeting is underway. Luo Ying is briefing several company commanders on the enemy's situation. Everyone looks serious.
"Brothers, according to the enemy situation reported by the division headquarters, the Japanese really think highly of our independent battalion this time. There is an infantry regiment (dissatisfied), a cavalry regiment (more than 800 cavalry), nearly 4,000 people, There are also several tanks coming towards our independent battalion position, and the enemy's strength ratio is more than four to one. This battle is not good."
Ma Biao, the commander of the machine gun company, really lived up to his name. He stood up with a whoosh and said:
"Afraid of the ball, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. We have thunder cannons, solid tunnel fortifications, and thousands of brothers who share the same enemy. There are only four thousand Japs. Just destroy them!"
Luo Ying took a look and saw that it was indeed Brother Biao. In his eyes, the four thousand Japanese were just like chickens and dogs. After having a few flying thunder cannons, his confidence was not ordinary. Luo Ying even suspected that he had even done something. It is unclear how many artillery pieces a Japanese regiment has, and the flying thunder cannons of the independent battalion cannot be called artillery at all in front of the 75mm field artillery.
I originally wanted to give him a blow, but then I thought about it, morale is a thing that cannot be encouraged, at least it cannot be hit, so I could only praise him against my will:
"Okay, as expected of Brother Biao. In his eyes, the 16 75mm field guns of a field artillery brigade of the main force of the Japanese army are just like chickens and dogs. What I want is this domineering strength that will take my own life!"
If you have to compete with the Japanese in order to fight, then there is no way to fight the Songhu battle. The muzzle of the Japanese naval gun on the Wusongkou River is thicker than your waist. Didn’t our national army also fight for half a month?
Remember what a famous person said:
He fires his howitzer, we throw our grenades! What's more, we also have thunder cannons that are many times more powerful than grenades. One shot can kill half a team of Japs. The key is to throw it on the Japs' heads.
The Japanese howitzers can easily hit more than ten miles away, but our thunder cannons can only hit 200 meters away, and grenades can only be thrown dozens of meters away, so the use of tactics is very important. This is actually very simple, just think Throw it on the devil's head.
If they are too far away, we will move them closer. If the main force is difficult to deal with, we will move their baggage troops;
Again, they fight theirs, we fight ours!
In order to maximize the effect of the thunder cannon, I decided to change the strategy this time. I hid the thunder cannon platoon outside Liujiapo in advance and assigned the battalion guard platoon to them, under the personal command of Ma Biao;
First find out the location of the Japanese artillery positions and baggage troops, and use the concealment of night battles to secretly move within 200 meters. As for inviting the Japanese to fly in a ground plane, you don’t need me to teach you, right? "
Ma Biao's eyes shone after hearing this. He had already understood what the battalion commander meant. This method was too sinister. Only the battalion commander could come up with it, and sinister people happened to be his forte;
There is a secret tunnel on the outer hillock. It was originally used to hide the reconnaissance unit. Now it is no problem to hide the thunder artillery platoon. It is just too far away from the main position of Liujiapo. It is at least a few miles away. The artillery positions are not showing up well, but there are no problems with the Tibetans and their equipment. Once we find out the enemy's troop deployment, we can fight however we want...
Thinking of this, Ma Biao said confidently:
"Battalion Commander, don't worry. I promise to complete the mission. The artillery platoon will become a nightmare for the Japanese."
Luo Ying nodded and said:
"Brothers, the task of the artillery platoon is the key to winning this tough battle, so the main force must cooperate with the artillery platoon's actions. That is, our whole battalion builds a grass platform for the artillery platoon, and the singing is left to Ma Biao;
Before this, the flying thunder cannons of each company cannot be used in advance, so as not to expose the target and arouse the vigilance of the Japanese. This is the winner, and everyone must execute it unconditionally. Do you understand? "
Everyone expressed their understanding, and then several people gathered together to discuss some details. At the same time, in order to keep confidentiality, the scope of the secret was limited to the four main company commanders. Neither the platoon leader nor the supplementary company commander had the authority to know.
That night, Ma Biao quietly slipped out with the artillery platoon and the battalion guard platoon. No one noticed that the army of more than a thousand people was missing dozens of people. After all, most of the troops were hidden in the tunnels, with only a few small numbers. The security troops were outside, and those who didn't know better thought Liujiapo was a bare hill.
On the morning of the second day, the sky was clear and cloudless. Such weather was most suitable for the Japanese big birds to dispatch. As expected, the independent battalion did not disappoint. Just after breakfast, the Japanese fleet arrived;
Since the Japanese had complete control of the air in the northern part of Shencheng, and the Kuomintang army did not have anti-aircraft guns, and could not use bamboo poles to stab down the Japanese planes like in the drama, the Japanese aerial strikes were very arrogant, even to the point of being arrogant.
By the way, not every Japs gives Luo Ying face, such as bomber pilot Captain Arai Jiro;
Jiro Arai is flying a Type 96 land attack aircraft with a crew of 7 people and a cruising range of 1,000 kilometers. It is equipped with three 7.7mm revolving machine guns and can carry 800 kilograms of aerial bombs or 1 aerial torpedo.
This aircraft was only officially equipped with the Japanese Navy a year ago. The 8.14 air battle was their first show. During the bombing of Hangzhou Jianqiao Air Force Base, it was intercepted by 27 Hawker-3 fighter jets from the Fourth Group of the Chinese Air Force over Hangzhou Bay. Three were shot down and three were seriously damaged, so the debut was not very pretty;
The reason for being so arrogant is simply to bully the Chinese Air Force, which suffered heavy losses in the previous air battle for air supremacy. Madam is no longer willing to let them fight.
Regarding this combat mission, Arai Jiro had strong opinions. As a long-range strategic bomber, the target they bombed should be Jinling City, or at the worst, some important targets in Shencheng. He did not expect to come with such a big fanfare. The target of the attack turned out to be a battalion position. This group of army red deer was an insult to these noble navy air warriors.
"BaGeYa Road, these Army Red Deers are getting more and more regressive, bringing shame to His Majesty the Emperor. A position defended by the Chinese battalion needs the help of noble navy warriors. Without the navy, won't they be able to fight? "
His words were agreed by the co-pilot, Lieutenant Miura, who took over his words and said:
"Yo Xi, Arai-kun is absolutely right. I heard that this battalion completely wiped out a brigade of the Army's Red Deer. A regiment was helpless in the face of them, so they asked us to assist them."
Lieutenant Miura was quite well informed. Captain Arai had really never heard of this matter. Now he looked down upon the group of Army red deer even more and said disdainfully:
"Do these losers have the nerve to compete with the noble navy for resources and let them embarrass themselves in front of the Chinese people?
Miura-kun, we are about to arrive at the enemy's position. Get ready and let us clear up the trouble for this bunch of losers from the Army Ma Deer. "
Ridicule is ridicule, but they will still do it if they should do it, because they received an order from the Navy to use 12 aircraft to wipe the Independence Battalion's position from the earth.
Soon they arrived over the Independent Battalion and began bombing the target as planned. The captain, Captain Arai, gave an order, and the land attack aircraft numbered 9514 dropped a string of heavy bombs weighing 100 kilograms each (this is the Japanese standard). , if replaced by Eagle Sauce, they can only be considered light) and were thrown at the Independent Battalion's position. A total of 8 missiles instantly ignited the Independent Battalion's position. The dust and ash caused by the explosion covered the sky and the sun, as if the end was coming;
The other 11 aircraft also completed the bombing mission one after another, dropping a total of nearly ten tons of bombs on a battalion position, which was enough to impress Luo Ying.
Almost all the surface positions built by the Independence Battalion were destroyed. After dropping the bomb, Jiro Arai seemed to be still satisfied. He flew the plane and fired several rounds of machine gun fire at the Independence Battalion's position. Other Japanese soldiers followed suit. This was theirs. During the carnival, only Miura kid reminded him:
"Arai-kun, we don't have much ammunition for our machine guns. If we encounter the Chinese air force on the way back, we will be in trouble."
Captain Arai said disdainfully:
"Chinese Air Force? Does China still have an air force? Do even those weaklings dare to go to war? I should give them a woman's clothes like Zhuge Kongming did!"
After Captain Arai finished speaking, he laughed arrogantly. Lieutenant Miura also laughed arrogantly and said jokingly:
"I didn't expect Arai-kun to be a Chinese expert, so humorous——"
Suddenly Lieutenant Miura's laughter stopped abruptly, and the eyes of a pair of dead fish were filled with fear, as if they had seen a messenger seeking their lives...
"Baghaya Road, Chinese Air Force!"
