"It doesn't matter, you have done a good job. In that case, if you can take the initiative to intercept the Japanese plane, you have done a good job. I will take credit from you for this matter." Lao Zhou comforted Liang Tiancheng, who returned safely. people, and then leave.
Although Dong Mingde and the other two men had done a good job in escorting the Japanese planes, they were still far behind the seven Li Hang men who risked their lives to block more than 20 Japanese planes.
Although this air battle came suddenly, the results achieved were not bad.
The Chinese Air Force was shot down 3 fighter planes, but it shot down 20 Japanese planes.
A record of 20 to 3 is not a loss no matter how you look at it.
Fortunately, Li Hang was fine, otherwise it would have been a real loss.
And this is not the final result. The 14 fighters of the third group are chasing them, and there may be good results to come.
The four Japanese planes that escaped were all injured, so it was considered good to have a combat effectiveness of seven to eight.
Originally, seven Japanese planes escaped. After the reinforcements arrived, Liang Tiancheng and others followed them for a certain distance and shot down two more before returning.
If it weren't for the lack of bullets and fuel, the three of them would probably have followed the Third Battalion to the airport controlled by the Japanese army.
. . . . . .
"Captain, let's see who we bring back."
"What? Where have you guys gone? Just now... This is... Are you Li Hang?" When a lieutenant colonel officer saw Li Hang, he was stunned for a moment, and he immediately reacted, quite surprised. Looking at the latter in surprise.
"Sir, this is Li Hang." Li Hang was a little confused, wondering how the other party knew about him.
"It's really you. The theater headquarters has ordered to look for you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to be here. My surname is Sun, deputy commander of the lieutenant colonel, and temporarily acting as the commander." The lieutenant colonel introduced himself, "Morning I have heard of your name. You two days ago killed the little Japanese with great vigor in the sky over Taierzhuang.
You don't know, I heard that your plane had an accident, and the theater headquarters sent cavalry everywhere to look for you, which shows how much they value you. "
"I didn't expect it would cause so much trouble."
"What's the trouble? I heard that your ancestral home is Sichuan. When we Sichuan troops heard about your achievements, we were very proud." Deputy Commander Sun patted Li Hang on the shoulder enthusiastically.
Li Hang's ancestral home is Sichuan. There were reports in newspapers before, but they were not very clear.
For these Sichuan troops, it is enough to know that Li Hang's ancestral home is Sichuan, and they don't care so much.
"Sir Liu is overrated. He kills enemies for the country."
"Haha, you are right." Deputy Commander Sun then looked at the dozen or so subordinates standing aside, "Liu Dashan, if you can bring Li Hang back, I will give you a great credit."
Deputy Company Commander Liu looked at his superiors with a smile, "Captain, then you may have to give us a credit."
"What is the captain? He is the deputy captain."
"A meaning."
There are now less than 300 people in their regiment, and the regiment leader has also died in the battle. Now he is also the deputy commander and acting commander.
When it is rebuilt again, it is natural for Deputy Commander Sun to become a full-time official.
"Liu Dashan, if you fart, hurry up."
"Captain, we caught a little devil, and he's still alive." Deputy Company Commander Liu said proudly.
"What? A living little devil? Where is it? Let me see?" Deputy Commander Sun was surprised when he heard this.
"It's outside, I didn't bring it in!"
Deputy Commander Sun ran out in a hurry and saw a tied-up little Japanese pilot being carried behind the team.
The reason why it was carried was because the pilot was injured during the emergency landing and could not walk on his own.
But Company Commander Liu and others were afraid that the kid would commit suicide, so they simply bandaged the wound, made a simple stretcher, tied the kid on the stretcher, and carried him back.
"Brother Ge, he is really a little devil. How did you catch him? No, why is the little devil here in Xuzhou?" Deputy Captain Sun was very surprised when he saw the tied little devil.
You must know that their regiment had suffered so many casualties before and could not capture a single Japanese prisoner alive. How come they were able to capture Japanese prisoners now that they had retreated to the rear to rest?
"We have to thank Commander Li for this. It was he who told us that there might be live Japs on board the downed planes. We found three planes and the only one alive was kidnapped." Deputy Company Commander Liu was very proud.
I don’t know who is the loudmouth or for other reasons, but the news that Deputy Company Commander Liu and others captured a Japanese pilot alive spread throughout the station.
Not only members of their regiment, but also members of several other regiments of the 124th Division heard the news and came running.
This is the first time I have seen a living little devil and a pilot.
"Why did you gag him?" As he said that, Deputy Commander Sun went to remove the ball of cloth from the Japs pilot's mouth.
"Captain, don't..."
Deputy Company Commander Liu wanted to stop him, but his reaction was too slow.
"Baga, you nasty Chinese pigs, let me go!"
"If you don't let me go, you will wait for the revenge of the Japanese Empire."
"China Devil, if you have the ability, let me go and let's have a fair duel."
"idiot..."
Perhaps he had been gagged for too long and was finally able to speak, but the Japanese lieutenant pilot was yelling curses there.
Deputy Captain Sun was a little surprised, while Deputy Captain Liu and others looked helpless. They had experienced this before, although they didn't know what the other party was scolding.
Even though I didn’t understand it, I knew it wasn’t a good word by looking at it.
Especially the words 'Baga' are obviously curse words.
So Deputy Company Commander Liu quickly blocked the kid's mouth with a cloth, and then explained to his superiors, "Captain, this kid likes to curse, so we blocked his mouth."
"What is this little devil scolding? If he dares to scold the labor and management, the labor and management must greet his immortal board." Deputy Captain Sun also became angry and wanted to take action, but luckily he was stopped by someone.
"Captain, there is no need to vent your anger on a little devil."
"Just a little devil."
"Liu Dashan, are you showing off? You're just a little devil."
In any case, being able to capture a little devil alive is indeed an achievement.
However, Deputy Commander Sun did not forget about business and immediately sent someone to the brigade headquarters to report on Li Hang.
Finding Li Hang was an order issued by the theater headquarters. Now that he has been found, he naturally has to report it in time, otherwise others will have to work for a long time.
Soon the matter of the Japanese prisoners was revealed, and it immediately became Li Hang's time.
Because they learned that Li Hang had been found by his own troops, the brigade commander of Deputy Commander Sun's brigade, the commander of the 124th Division, and even the commander of the 41st Army came.
The 41st Army is currently resting and recuperating near here. Of the two divisions, it is estimated that only one regiment can still participate in the battle.
There was originally a 123rd Division, but it stayed behind in Sichuan and did not come out.
You must know that the 41st Army in Xuzhou has a total of 2 divisions, 4 brigades and 12 regiments. With so many troops, only one regiment can still fight, which shows the huge losses.
