…
Ye Anran held up the binoculars and looked at the direction where the gunfire came from, which was Chenjia Station.
He raised the corner of his mouth.
To be honest, the reason why he hung up the banner "Specially Attack the Second Division" was to tell the Japanese in the 28th Division.
Don't meddle in other people's business.
The Japanese bombing gave Konoha Yinan great confidence.
Let him think that the Northeast Army was even if not completely wiped out in this battle.
He must have lost more than half.
After putting away the telescope, Ye Anran squatted down, held the dilapidated wall with one hand, and jumped down.
He landed gently, his eyes like swords, "Blow the assembly horn."
"Leave a regiment of troops behind to clean up the battlefield!"
"Others, immediately reinforce the Chen Family Station!"
"Order the cavalry to arrive at Chenjia Station as quickly as possible to stop the 28th Division."
Ma Jinhai nodded heavily in response: "Yes!"
When he responded, Ye Anran mounted a green-maned horse and took the lead out of the city, heading straight to Chenjia Station.
A burst of urgent trumpet sound resounded throughout Lindian County.
The commanders of each unit quickly gave up searching the battlefield and ran in the direction of Ma Jinhai.
In a moment.
The cavalry regiments of the 101st, 102nd, and 103rd Divisions headed out of the city, galloped on the battlefield with their horses and whips raised!
Ye Anran straddled the horse. He pulled the reins of the horse and stared closely at the direction where the Chen family was standing.
far away.
The roar of Japanese planes is endless.
The scene of anti-aircraft shells exploding in the air made him very anxious.
current.
There wasn't much he could do.
Crane City's air defense is supported by only 60 anti-aircraft guns and 2,000 rounds of anti-aircraft artillery shells.
In order to capture Hecheng, the Kwantung Army's aviation forces carried out non-stop and indiscriminate bombing of Hecheng...
Its fighter jets continuously increased their height in the air and continuously impacted the anti-aircraft guns on the ground.
The soldiers of the 101st Division Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment stood guard next to the anti-aircraft artillery. As long as the fort was hit by a bullet, they would drag their comrades aside.
Substitute on top.
As long as the anti-aircraft guns are there and there are still shells, the Japanese bombers will not dare to penetrate deep into Hecheng.
The consumption of ammunition is huge!
The soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment suffered heavy casualties.
In order to break Hecheng's air defense, the Japanese even formed an aerial death squad.
They welded the cockpit door shut before takeoff.
While swooping down to attack the Hecheng anti-aircraft guns, fire wildly, and finally crash the plane directly into the anti-aircraft guns on the ground! !
Not far from the Norinco Heavy Industry Group, there is an air defense tunnel made of concrete and steel.
The tunnel is equipped with a periscope like a tank...
It is convenient for ground personnel to observe the situation on the position.
Liu Jingxin held the periscope in his hand. He watched the plane fire wildly at the anti-aircraft gun position, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Damn devil! !
The plane aimed at the anti-aircraft gun and dived directly to the ground. With a bang, the entire anti-aircraft battery was instantly reduced to rubble...
Mikhail hid in the air raid tunnel.
The scene he saw in the periscope made his heart feel like a knife! !
The cruelty of war made him feel heavy.
Zhang Erpao was sitting on the anti-aircraft turret. He held the servo with one hand and quickly rotated the servo to find the direction of the Japanese plane.
A plane swooped down towards him blankly.
He quickly stepped on the trigger pedal, bang bang bang~
Three consecutive shots were fired at the Japanese plane as it swooped down.
Boom~
There was a huge explosion, and the fire spread rapidly in the air...
The plane crashed about five meters away from his anti-aircraft gun, and then there was another explosion!
The flying shrapnel sank directly into Zhang Erpao's arm.
His arm was bleeding.
"Captain, you are injured!"
Zhang Erpao ignored the bleeding wound and continued to look for the Japanese plane.
"Go and find me a towel and I'll wrap it up!"
"yes……"
…
That explosion in the distance.
Inspiring and enlightening.
Ye Anran reined in the horse and stopped on the road. He looked at the sky in Hecheng like dark clouds covering the sun! !
Second artillery! !
Sorry! !
At this moment, more than a dozen or twenty fast horses passed him and went straight to the direction of Chen's station.
Ma Jinshan and Xie Ke came to Ye Anran and stopped.
The two looked towards Hecheng.
More than a few hundred planes were bombing Crane City?
Far more than a few hundred.
"Third brother, we can't hit or reach the Japanese plane. There really is nothing we can do."
Ma Jinshan was heartbroken.
But he was also very helpless.
This kind of helplessness can only be understood by Chinese compatriots who have been in the situation.
It was not easy to defeat the Japanese with Xiaomi and rifles back then.
The Kwantung Army hated the defenders of Hecheng.
This kind of indiscriminate bombing may become more normalized for the Kwantung Army in the future.
Ben Zhuangfan was venting his dissatisfaction with Ye Anran and Ma Jinshan.
Hundreds of thousands of Japs died in the hands of Ye Anran and Ma Jinshan.
He just wanted to reduce Crane City to ruins.
Even if it was rebuilt in the future and he sent the Japanese to colonize again, Honjo Shigeru felt it was worth it!
Ye Anran straddled the horse.
He looked at Hecheng and knew the difficulties of Zhang Erpao and other brothers.
"Brother, wait until we have enough planes."
"Let the Japanese in Fengtian and Xinjing have a taste of being bombed!"
Ma Jinshan nodded lightly, "Definitely, there will be a day!"
A military vehicle parked behind Ye Anran's horse.
A communications soldier quickly jumped out of the car. He hurried to Ye Anran and saluted:
"Report to the division commander."
"Hecheng Air Force sent a telegram. The Japanese Air Force is conducting a suicide attack on the Hecheng anti-aircraft artillery. The Flying Eagle Team Gao Zhihang and the Far East Air Force Lermontov are requesting to join the war!!"
Ye Anran: "Refuse."
"Report to the division commander..."
"I said no!"
The communications soldier stood in front of Ye Anran in confusion. He looked up helplessly at the division commander in front of him.
"It's a telegram from Zhang Erpao, the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment..."
The signal soldier was submissive, and his tone was not as firm as before.
Zhang Erpao...
This name made Ye Anran's heart tremble. He jumped off his horse and looked directly at the communications soldier.
"speak!"
When he jumped off the horse, Ma Jinshan and Xie Ke dismounted at the same time.
This is what they do as commanders.
I have the greatest respect for the heroes who are on the front line and fighting against the Japanese Air Force.
"Zhang Erpao, commander of the 101st Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment, and all the artillerymen of the regiment were fired."
"Since the Japanese Air Force bombed Hecheng, all the officers and men of our anti-aircraft artillery regiment have defended the airspace of Hecheng with determination."
"A total of 48 enemy fighters and bombers were annihilated."
"Currently there is not much ammunition left. The Japanese planes are attacking fiercely and have been attacking Hecheng for a long time. Fifteen minutes ago, they launched a suicide attack on many of our anti-aircraft artillery positions."
"This message is sent to Commander Ma Jinshan of the Black Province garrison and Commander Ye Anran of the 101st Division. The 101st Division Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment is determined to coexist with Hecheng and fight to the last man and one bomb!"
"Sincerely, all the soldiers of the 101st Division Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment, salute!!"
…
Ye Anran felt very heavy.
He knew why Gao Zhihang asked for a fight.
It was because Hecheng's air defense force was almost exhausted.
It's because the Japanese aviation force is brutal!
It's because I can't bear the sacrifice of the soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment!
Ye Anran frowned and looked at the communications soldier, "Call back to Zhang Erpao."
"If necessary, you can temporarily avoid the enemy's sharp edge, but don't fight hard!"
"Tell him that Crane City is gone and I will never rebuild it!!"
"But he can't live without his brothers from the anti-aircraft artillery regiment!"
Signal Corps: "Yes!"
After he responded, he didn't leave.
Ye Anran was stunned, "Is there anything else?"
"Reporting to the division commander, there is a telegram in Russian that my subordinates cannot understand!"
: No one should have noticed that I took leave yesterday...
