Before dawn on October 7, 1937, a Type 96 warship with the blue sky and white sun emblem painted on the fuselage, serial number 214, flew blindly for a short distance from a wilderness in the east of Kunshan, and slowly climbed to the second level. Thousands of meters in the night sky, I tried my best to save fuel by gliding along the way, and flew towards Shanghai.
This time, Zhou Zhihan's goal is to hunt down the Japanese fighter planes known as "Freedom Hunters in the Air" and combat the arrogance of the Japanese planes!
Since you can't find evidence to prove your innocence now, you can use the blood of your enemies to prove your loyalty to your motherland.
At the same time, Zhou Zhihan also wanted to tell the Japanese army forcefully that the Chinese Air Force still existed in the sky above Shanghai, and the Chinese Air Force could still scare the Japanese army.
This is what Zhou Zhihan has to do now. He has to bring confidence to the Chinese army that is fighting hard in Shanghai.
From the end of September to the beginning of October, the air superiority over Shanghai was completely controlled by the Japanese aviation. Chinese fighter planes with the blue sky and white sun emblem on their fuselages could no longer be seen in the sky above Shanghai. Therefore, in the skies over Shanghai and surrounding areas, Chinese fighter planes appeared Japanese fighter planes known as "Freedom Hunters in the Air" can launch unscrupulous attacks on Chinese positions at any time.
At this time, the Japanese Air Force was very arrogant. They used newspapers to publicize photos of the Japanese Air Force's heroic flying. They also took photos of the wreckage of Chinese fighter jets that were shot down during air battles and posted them in newspapers with textual humiliations to attack China. The determination of the military and civilians to resist Japan.
From the end of September to the beginning of October, not a drop of rain fell in Shanghai. Even so, before entering Shanghai, Zhou Zhihan smelled the strong smell of blood and gunpowder in the air, blowing along the southwest wind.
The darkest hour of the night was about to come, and the whole of Shanghai was enveloped in the strong smell of gunpowder and blood.
Looking down from a high altitude to the ground, you can see the fighting positions between China and Japan everywhere, ranging from positional battles spanning more than ten kilometers to street battles between the two armies.
The sound of artillery, gunfire, and grenades can be heard endlessly. This once brilliant oriental metropolis is now being ravaged by war.
Zhou Zhihan piloted the Type 96 warship and flew over Luodian, a military center in Shanghai. He slowly climbed to an altitude of six thousand meters, turned off the propellers and engines, and the fighter jet hovered in the high-altitude clouds.
Luodian is now in the hands of the Chinese defenders. The plane is hovering too low and the sound of the propeller engine can be heard by ground troops, which can easily lead to misunderstandings.
The Chinese military has not seen a Chinese military plane over Shanghai for more than ten days. Now, as long as there is the roar of propellers and engines overhead, it can be concluded that it is a Japanese fighter plane.
There is a waning moon in the sky, emitting cold moonlight, making the aura of killing even stronger. From time to time, floating clouds drift by, and the moonlight is misty, adding a bit of fierceness.
At this time, the small town of Luodian was actually quiet and dark, which seemed out of place with the fierce fighting going on around it.
It was so quiet, so quiet that it made people a little uneasy.
If a person loses his way at this time and suddenly breaks into the small town of Luodian, he will suddenly be frightened out of his wits and think that he has entered the underworld.
Not a single room in the entire Luodian Town is complete. The fighting was so brutal that no complete tiles could be found in the entire town. There were broken walls, craters, trenches, broken guns and blades everywhere. Corpses with different forms of death.
Shanghai has not had a drop of rain for half a month, and the ground that should be dry is actually muddy. From time to time, there are greasy straw-like things that make people wrestling. If there is light at this time, you can see that the mud under your feet is actually blood-colored, and those The slippery thing that makes people fall over like straw turns out to be...
No one dared to light a fire.
Luodian is a dead place without any human fireworks.
Because there were Japanese snipers all around, wherever there was fire, it was either a howitzer roaring in, or a crisp gunshot, and the head exploded.
In the land of Luodian, more than 100,000 lives have been lost between China and Japan. Every inch of the land in this small town is soaked red with blood, with broken limbs and internal organs everywhere.
Several wild dogs were swimming around with their green eyes shining. Occasionally they heard two gunshots, but remained unmoved. They had long been accustomed to the sound of gunshots. They seemed to understand that only when gunshots sounded did they get food.
After a night of fierce fighting, the Chinese army finally took Luodian back from the Japanese.
Just like tonight's brutal and suffocating tug-of-war, it has lasted for more than ten days. During these ten days, in this tiny land, at least one Chinese division of troops was consumed every day.
Every day, tens of thousands of living people die on this land.
This is the first time in the past 5,000 years that the Chinese army has suffered such heavy casualties in a battle to resist foreign barbarians, and the tragedy has been so great.
The Battle of Luodian between China and Japan can be called the famous meat grinder in history. The battle was too tragic to be described.
An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood.
Even with the support of powerful fleet artillery and fully occupied air superiority aviation, the Japanese army, known as the world's largest army, was never able to capture Luodian from the Chinese army.
It's almost dawn. After a night of fierce fighting, the Chinese troops who regained Luodian had no time to breathe. Everyone immediately built fortifications, dug out stragglers, dug deeper trenches, and packed soil into sacks to build a life-saving bunker.
As soon as day breaks, the Japanese fleet stationed on the Wusongkou River will launch the first wave of artillery attacks on Luodian, which has been recaptured by the Chinese army.
The Japanese army is very clever. If the Chinese army withdraws from its position when it is bombarded, the Japanese artillery fire will immediately stop the attack, and the ground troops will quickly occupy the position.
Therefore, the Chinese army had no choice but to use the human sea tactic, stay on the position, and use flesh and blood to resist the Japanese artillery fire.
This is also a sinister strategy of the Japanese army, which is to force the Chinese defenders to dare not withdraw from their positions even when they are heavily bombarded by artillery. It is to use naval guns to consume the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, undermine the confidence of the soldiers, kill people, and force the National Government to Surrender and compromise, cede territory and pay compensation.
But it is obvious that Japan's wishful thinking failed, and the invaders underestimated the determination of the Chinese people to fight against foreign enemies.
Just as the troops were building fortifications, the division headquarters dispatched two platoons. One platoon rescued its own wounded and collected the corpses of those killed in battle, while the other platoon was dedicated to clearing away the wounded that the Japanese army had no time to evacuate.
Many corpses were so mutilated that they could only be roughly identified. They were wrapped in straw mats or sacks and taken away. Those with nameplates on their bodies could still be identified, while those whose identities could not be identified were buried together.
This is war, and human lives are worth less than ants.
The rifles in the hands of the soldiers who were fighting the enemy had bayonets. The bayonets were coated with ink to avoid reflection at night and became targets for Japanese snipers. With the dim light of the waning moon in the sky, as long as a Japanese soldier was wearing something, he would be stabbed in the neck with a bayonet. , whether it’s a dead body or a wounded person.
Now that the war has reached this point, there is no preferential treatment anymore...~The prisoners (fulu) are talking nonsense. Both sides are red-blooded and hundreds of thousands of lives are lost here. You still want me to give you preferential treatment?
During the day, the position belonged to the Japanese army. None of the wounded Chinese soldiers who had no time to evacuate were spared and all were killed.
At night, the Chinese army retook their positions, and the wounded Japanese soldiers who had no time to evacuate could only become dead souls under the bayonet, without any luck.
War is inhumane and full of blood.
Black bayonets were stabbed in rows, and they stood motionless, still breathing heavily, and their legs were twitching from the bayonet stabs. Occasionally, two gunshots were heard, which was for a few people who suddenly woke up and regained their senses. , a devil struggling to his death and trying to escape.
When there was a little light in the eastern sky, a red fireball, like sparks chasing the moon, rushed from the direction of Wusongkou and blasted towards the defensive position of the Chinese troops in Luodian.
A messenger ran around with a loudspeaker and shouted: "The Japanese warships opened fire, leaving some sentries to monitor the Japanese, and everyone else immediately entered the anti-shelling bunker and was ready to fight at any time."
Ten minutes later, a ray of sunshine appeared in the eastern sky, and the Japanese army's intensive bombardment stopped. Under the cover of armored vehicles and tanks, the ground troops rushed towards the Chinese defenders who were close at hand.
"Everyone who came out of the bunker immediately entered the defensive position, organized heavy machine gun air defense, and provided fire cover for the demolition troops to blow up the Japanese tanks..."
Those soldiers of the Chinese army who could still get out of the artillery-proof bunkers took their guns and entered the trenches to prepare for battle. Most of those who could not get out of the gun-proof bunkers were shocked to death in the bunkers.
As usual, after the Chinese troops entered the trenches, several Japanese fighter planes appeared in the sky.
