boom! boom!
Dragon Boat Festival fired two shots in a row, but without any results, and the Japanese bombers ran away.
But at this time, Duanwu was already very satisfied. Although grandma's attack failed to completely wipe out the Japanese flying wing, he should have taken down at least half of the Japanese aircraft.
He didn't count, there should be more than a dozen. The loss of these planes is enough to cause pain to the little devil for a while.
Although the cost of aircraft at that time was not as high as it is now, it was definitely more expensive than a tank, right?
Therefore, in this battle, I dare not say that I won the Dragon Boat Festival, but at least I did not lose anything.
"Regiment, 19 planes, we destroyed 19 Japanese planes, hahaha, can you believe it?"
At this moment, Xie Jinyuan burst into laughter. The soldiers were also very surprised that there were so many.
"Regimental deputy, is it true? We shot down all 19 fighter jets? Oh my god, is it too simple?"
All the soldiers laughed like Yue Yunpeng. My eyes are not big to begin with, but they disappear when I smile.
He was so happy. Who would dare to think about 19 Japanese fighter jets? When the war started, I was thinking that it would be great if I could escape this Japanese air attack.
Many of the soldiers here have experienced the Battle of Songhu. How many bombs did the Japs' plane drop on Shanghai? Apart from the British Concession, there are not many places in Shanghai that are intact.
This is even more true for the positions of Chinese soldiers. After the bombing by Japanese planes, corpses were everywhere.
At the beginning, Chinese aircraft were able to deal with Japanese aircraft, but they suffered repeated defeats.
Of course, this is not because the Chinese Air Force is incompetent, but that most of China's aircraft are obsolete foreign products. They are not at the same level as the Japanese military's advanced fighters. It is reasonable to have repeated defeats in battles. This is like letting third-generation fighters compete with fourth-generation or fifth-generation fighters. There is no comparison between the two.
So in the end, China's own airspace became dominated by Japanese aircraft.
The little devil's plane can blow up wherever it wants. China's air force is not taken seriously at all.
But today, the Chinese soldiers finally exhaled and raised their eyebrows. Two fighter planes, a mixed company, two combat anti-cannons, and a sudden surprise attack by Xie Jinyuan and others actually defeated the little Japanese flying wing. .
This can be called another miracle in the battle against the Japanese Air Force. It is another legend created during the Dragon Boat Festival.
At this time, many soldiers felt that they were in a dream.
And especially Zhong Jiushan, the commander of the 174th Division, he almost shed tears of joy. Holding Xie Jinyuan's hand, he kept asking: "Brother Xie, is this true? There are 19 fighter planes. I feel like I am in a dream."
Xie Jinyuan laughed loudly and said: Of course this is true. If you don’t believe it, I will calculate it for you.
Xie Jinyuan said, counting on Zhong Jiushan's fingers:
The First Mixed Company fought tooth and nail to destroy two bombers. These two Japanese bombers were entirely purchased with the lives of the First Mixed Company.
Although the first mixed company suffered heavy casualties, it bought enough time for the special commissioner.
As soon as the special commissioner's 37 anti-aircraft guns appeared, the Japanese's five bombers were scrapped.
Four of them were hit by artillery shells, and the other one was unlucky enough to be affected by a fighter plane that exploded in the air. The plane lost control and crashed.
Afterwards, three Japanese bombers dive-bombed the commissioner and Battalion Commander Sun. I led my men out of the woods and shot down these three fighter planes with more than a hundred machine guns.
The American pilots Brooke and Paul destroyed four fighter jets and three bombers in their fighter jets. A total of seven Japanese aircraft were destroyed and many Japanese aircraft were damaged.
After that, when the Japanese bombers escaped, the special commissioner and Battalion Commander Sun used the 37 combat anti-aircraft gun to make new achievements and destroyed two more Japanese bombers. A total of 19 Japanese fighter planes were destroyed and many fighter planes were injured.
Hearing this, Zhong Jiushan was so excited that he almost jumped up. Grandma Te, with just such a few weapons and equipment, he was able to shoot down nineteen Japanese fighter planes. He can brag about this battle for the rest of his life.
Zhong Jiushan hurriedly went to Duanwu to tell him the good news. Unexpectedly, at this time, Duanwu was looking after the injured soldier.
In order to quickly adjust the shooting angle of the 37 combat anti-cannon to the best, Sun Shiyu's two artillerymen even put their feet under the combat anti-cannon. Fortunately, Sun Shiyu only fired two shots, otherwise the two soldiers' feet would have been disabled.
There was no time to find a medical soldier, so Duan Wu took matters into his own hands. These are two good fighters. They have been artillerymen for so many years, so they don't know the consequences of using their feet to cushion the cannon, but they still do it.
Sun Shiyu scolded them for being stupid, but made himself cry.
If he knew that two artillerymen had placed his feet under the 37th anti-aircraft gun, he would rather not fire this shot.
Because it is very likely that, just because of his two shots, these two young people in their early twenties will become disabled people without legs.
So Sun Shiyu called them stupid, which was not what he really wanted to express. He just doesn't know how to express his emotions.
These two were the only Sichuan army brothers who were captured with Sun Shiyu. But at this time, in order to shoot down one more Japanese fighter plane, they made one of their feet bloody and bloody.
At this time, when Zhong Jiushan and others saw this scene, they all fell silent. The joy in their hearts suddenly became very suppressed.
Because in addition to these two artillerymen, there is also a mixed company whose life or death is uncertain!
Zhong Jiushan quickly ordered: "Go and find out if there are any survivors in the first mixed company immediately! Hurry!"
"yes!"
The soldiers of the 174th Division responded and connected with the soldiers of the Independent Regiment to search for survivors together.
But it was too difficult, and many positions were blown up. The trenches they dug before were filled with loose soil. Moreover, some soldiers were already beyond recognition when they were found. Can't tell who it is at all. Many people were even buried in the soil.
Some of the soldiers were digging in the soil with their hands and digging out the buried soldiers, while weeping bitterly. Because many soldiers still maintain their shooting posture even if they are dead.
They fought until the end of their lives.
"Here, here is one alive."
While digging the soil, a soldier noticed someone moving and shouted excitedly.
He pulled the other party hard, but couldn't pull it out at all.
The buried people were covered with a large amount of soil and stones.
He tried his best to pick it off with his hands, and tried his best to pick it off.
The sharp stone scratched all ten of his fingers, leaving ten bright red finger marks every time a layer of soil was removed.
But he couldn't stop at all because his comrades were still buried in the mud. His comrade was covered in blood and dying.
What's a pair of hands? Even if he had to exchange his own arm for the life of his comrade, he would not hesitate.
People nearby came running to help. Without tools, they had to dig through the gravel and soil with their bare hands.
The gravel is very sharp. Basically, with just two or three blows, the soldiers' hands will be cut and bleed.
But at this time, no one backed down. Because their comrades are in the dirt.
They want to rescue him, even if each of them has blood on their hands at this time, they are still digging and digging...
"It's almost done, let's work hard together, hard!"
One of the soldiers yelled, and everyone grabbed the dug-out arm and the back of the buried soldier's clothes, and together they pulled him out.
This person's face was covered in blood, and his clothes were stained with blood and dirt, and he couldn't tell who he was. And it seemed as if the other person was no longer breathing.
The soldiers burst into tears. Because they thought he could be saved just now.
"what happened?"
Hearing the cries of the soldiers, Dragon Boat Festival strode over.
The soldiers moved away from their bodies and probed each other's carotid artery, which was still beating weakly.
"Turn the person over."
Dragon Boat Festival gave the order, but everyone didn’t know what Dragon Boat Festival was going to do. But Dragon Boat Festival is a special mission, who dares to disobey his orders?
Duanwu put his legs on the chest of the wounded soldier, patted his back and asked him to spit out the dirt in his mouth.
Just like drowning, if a person is buried in the soil, there will definitely be a lot of mud in the mouth. He must be made to spit it out. If the person has lost consciousness, he needs to dig out the soil with his hands.
But obviously the wounded soldier did not lose consciousness completely. When Dragon Boat Festival slapped his back, the vibration knocked out part of the dirt in his mouth. When he breathed fresh air, he had a reaction.
Duanwu warned: "Don't be anxious, spit out the dirt in your mouth first. Slowly, follow my rhythm, exhale, inhale,...exhale, inhale,..."
"Ahem!"
The wounded soldier took two breaths and then coughed loudly. Finally he recovered, and the people around him breathed a long sigh of relief. But Duanwu cursed: "Leave two people to take care of the wounded, and the others, hurry up and find if there are any survivors!"
"yes!"
The soldiers were very happy and excited. Because in their eyes, Dragon Boat Festival seems to be able to do everything and save a dead person.
Of course, these are the soldiers' lust, and if they save the dead, the Dragon Boat Festival will really become a god.
At this time, Duanwu also wanted to leave, but the wounded soldier suddenly grabbed Duanwu's hand and said with a weak breath: "Special, special commissioner, special commissioner, I, have I completed the mission of the mixed company?"
Duanwu recognized the other party's voice, and it turned out to be Zhao Shitou, the commander of the first mixed company.
The mixed company suffered heavy casualties, but only destroyed two Japanese fighter planes. One more shot to go, they didn't complete the mission.
But Duanwu saluted Zhao Shitou and said: "You are very good, very outstanding, and you have exceeded the task. Every soldier in the mixed company will be rewarded with forty yuan. I will send this money to your division commander. ,Please do not worry."
"Thank you, thank you, commissioner."
Zhao Shitou closed his eyes tightly, and two lines of hot tears burst out from the corners of his eyes.
Although he didn't ask how his mixed company was doing. But he knew that there might not be many people left in the entire mixed company.
"Send to the rear to recuperate!"
Under the Dragon Boat Festival order, the soldiers carried away the seriously injured Zhao Shitou.
"It's bad, the special commissioner, it's bad, the Japanese are coming from the Beishan position."
At this moment, Zhong Jiushan's guards came to report to Duanwu that a large number of Japanese soldiers had been discovered in the Beishan position.
Duan Wu frowned because he had no idea why the enemy would attack so fast.
The air battle in the sky is not over yet. The four fighter jets are fighting back and forth. The Japanese should not attack at this time.
Because this is equivalent to one battle not over yet, but another battle has begun.
Although it is a coordinated operation between land and air, the Japanese should also be afraid that the fighter planes will hurt their own people.
But the other party was so eager to attack the Yushan position, which gave Duanwu an extremely bad premonition. Something must have happened that forced the Japanese to speed up their attack.
Because just think about it, all the performances of Botian Zhongyi prove that he is a cautious Japanese, and he will not attack the Yushan position rashly.
From standing still five kilometers away from Yushan, to entering the Chongteng detachment camp to quickly build fortifications, and then waiting for the Japanese bombing, all these proved that Namada Chuichi was not an impulsive Japanese.
Then, there must be a reason for Namada Chuichi's sudden behavior.
Dragon Boat Festival couldn't think of this reason for a while, so he scratched his head.
Of course, Duanwu would never have imagined that the Japanese spies would penetrate so thoroughly. His battle plan and strategic deployment were all known to the enemy. The reinforcements he was expecting were blocked halfway by the Japanese army. They were the only combat force in Yushan at this time.
Boom!
Duanwu was guessing what happened, but at this moment, there was a huge explosion. A 150mm howitzer shell has fallen on the Beishan position.
The soldiers of the 174th Division in the Beishan position were organizing personnel to dig trenches and prepare to block the invading Japanese army. However, they did not expect this artillery shell to fall down. Three soldiers who were maneuvering were blown away at once.
The Japanese army began an artillery attack in preparation for the charge.
Duanwu's mind was spinning quickly and he ordered: "Immediately order Zhong Jiushan's regiment to retreat and give up the Beishan position, and all regiments will enter the main position. Order the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment to restore the fortifications on the north side of the main position as a priority.
Ordered First Battalion Commander Sun Shiyu to cooperate with the artillery of the 174th Division to conduct a comprehensive artillery bombardment of the Japanese artillery positions to suppress the enemy's artillery firepower.
The second regiment of the 174th Division was ordered to quickly enter the Nanshan position for recovery, and the third regiment of the 174th Division and the special second and third companies of the independent regiment were ordered to serve as reserve teams. The Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment quickly restored the south side of the main position. Quickly, get everyone moving. "
"yes!"
More than a dozen messengers acted separately to convey the Dragon Boat Festival orders to every combat target.
Zhong Jiushan was a little reluctant to give up after receiving the order, because the Beishan position was equivalent to the north gate of the main position. Once it was lost, the enemy would have a place to stay.
However, the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce. At least a dozen large-caliber howitzers and cannons were aiming at the Beishan position for violent bombardment. In an instant, more than twenty people were killed and injured.
Therefore, after a brief thought, Zhong Jiushan felt that the commissioner's order was correct. Under the premise that the artillery fire of the 174th Division had not suppressed the Japanese army, they would only increase casualties if they continued to defend the Beishan position that had been damaged by Japanese bombings.
A regiment of the 174th Division was divided into three combat echelons and retreated while fighting.
Panasonic United took the opportunity to capture the Beishan position.
Both sides suffered casualties on each other, but the number of casualties was not very large. A regiment of the 174th Division almost withdrew from the Beishan position. The Panasonic Wing took the opportunity to occupy the Beishan position.
But Captain Matsushita Keiji did not think so. He believed that the Chinese army was no longer able to resist the attack of the Imperial Japanese Army under the bombing of imperial aircraft. Before he could stand firm in the Beishan position, he ordered the forward troops to continue the attack.
The Matsushita Group has six infantry squadrons, totaling more than 1,200 people. Two of the squadrons were ordered to pursue the retreating regiment of the 174th Division.
From a distance in the Dragon Boat Festival, he saw the little Japanese rushing up like a fool. They didn't even know that their artillery position was being attacked by the 174th Division.
Duanwu leaned on the trench, turned his back to the Japanese and said boredly: "Put the old soup and old medicine together. When the Japanese are close, throw grenades at a distance of thirty to fifty meters, and then kill the ones who are not dead. That's it." After the battle, let me see your results."
"Tuanzuo, just take a look!"
The commander of the third battalion, Wei Yong, took the order and went to deliver the order with a silly smile.
At this time, there was no need for Dragon Boat Festival to take action in such a small scene. He can handle it with just one battalion, not to mention that his third battalion has six to seven hundred people, which is definitely the main battalion of the independent regiment.
Duanwu took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, only to find that there was only a piece of leather left.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan came over to sit down and handed him a cigarette.
Holding the Dragon Boat Festival in his mouth, Xie Jinyuan ordered it.
Xie Jinyuan saw that Duan Wu seemed to have something on his mind, and asked, "What's wrong with the group? Isn't things developing as you expected?"
"No, there may be changes."
Duanwu shook his head and said, because for some reason, the bad premonition was getting stronger and stronger.
Xie Jinyuan said in confusion: "What will change? That Secretary-General Yang thinks very highly of you."
Duanwu said: "I don't know, the sudden attack by the Japs is unusual. And it's almost noon now, and not a single reinforcement has arrived. Don't you think this is strange?"
"Report, military phone number."
At this moment, a signal soldier came to report. Duanwu looked at Xie Jinyuan and smiled bitterly: "How is it? What did I say?"
Xie Jinyuan still said in disbelief: "This is impossible. What could happen? With your relationship with Secretary-General Yang, there should be no one who disobeys your orders, right?"
"Take a look and then talk!"
Duanwu stood up and was about to throw away the cigarette in his hand, but he didn't want to see the veteran next to him watching helplessly.
"Take it and smoke it!"
Duanwu gave the cigarette to the veteran. The veteran grinned and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone."
"Fight well and you will have enough pipes later."
"Yes Yes!"
The old soldier responded quickly and believed what Duanwu said. When Dragon Boat Festival was at the shelter, he told them that they had the warmest new military uniforms, and they got new cotton-padded jackets. Duanwu told them to use the most advanced weapons and they lost the brand new Hanyang.
Dragon Boat Festival tells them that they have enough to eat, and they will never be hungry again. So at this time, Duanwu told them that if they have enough pipes in the future, they will definitely have enough pipes.
"Come on, come on, give me a puff."
The veterans on the side also came to join in the fun. Then one, two, three, four, they all came.
They were very humble, each took a small sip, exhaled the smoke and laughed. For them, happiness is so simple! ...
PS: Sorry guys, today’s update is a bit late. My old uncle is back from the south. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. I have to visit him anyway, have some food, drink some wine, etc., hehe!
