There are dazzling flashes of light in the sky, fighter planes continue to fall to the ground with black smoke, and occasionally white umbrella flowers bloom in the sky. .And every time an umbrella flower lands, ground troops will rush over as quickly as possible to grab people. No matter which side it is, they will try their best to prevent their own pilots from falling into the hands of the enemy.
Today's air battle has some changes from the past. The number of fighter planes that used to be painted with ointment flags has gradually decreased since today, and they seem to be a little weak. After a fierce battle, most of the dozens of Japanese planes were painted with ointment flags. The green camouflaged fighter plane with ** printed on its wings was shot down, and the few remaining scattered fighters finally couldn't stand it any longer and began to flee north.
Looking at the Japanese planes fleeing in embarrassment in the sky, bursts of cheers erupted from the positions of the Chinese army on the ground, which was fighting a bitter battle with the Japanese army.
"Military seat, we won, we defeated the little devil's air force!"
Deng Dazhi, Chief of Staff of the Seventh Army, was so excited that he ran all the way into the combat command hall and shouted excitedly to Zhou Huangzu who was sitting on the shell box and meditating on the map in front of him.
"What, the Japanese air force was repulsed by us?" Zhou Huangzu suddenly stood up and asked Deng Dazhi in disbelief.
"It's absolutely true, Commander." Deng Dazhi, who was a little blackened by the gunpowder smoke, was glowing with excitement at this moment, "Now all the Japanese planes have been driven away by our air force. This is what I am doing on the battlefield. Saw it with my own eyes.¡±
"That's good, that's good!" Zhou Huangzu's face was full of relief. He was about to take a few steps forward, but his body swayed and he was about to fall down, which scared Deng Dazhi next to him and hurriedly He took two steps forward to support him and advised him worriedly.
"Military seat, you haven't slept for two days. Now that the Japanese plane has been repulsed, you'd better get some sleep quickly."
Ever since the Japanese 2nd and 3rd Division launched a full-scale attack on them, Zhou Huangzu had not had a good night's sleep, especially in the past two days, the Japanese had launched wave after wave of attacks on them. . Starting from this morning, dangers appeared in many positions. Deng Dazhi had to lead the guard regiment to reinforce everywhere, and almost all of them became fire brigade.
With the military situation in such danger, the pressure on Zhou Huangzu, as the commander of an army, can be imagined. Under the double weight of spirit and body, he could hardly hold on.
With Deng Dazhi's help, Zhou Huangzu calmed down and said to Deng Dazhi: "Jianjun, it seems that after several days of fierce fighting, the Japanese planes can't hold on anymore. You contact the Air Force immediately and order No, ask them to send out bombers to attack When we provide support, we must knock down the arrogance of the Japanese! Moreover, I estimate that the five security brigades and several heavy artillery regiments that will reinforce us will soon arrive. Once the security brigades arrive, we will immediately launch an attack on the enemy in front of us. !¡±
"yes!"
Deng Dazhi agreed loudly, and then looked at Zhou Huangzu who was already exhausted and tried to persuade him, "Military seat, you haven't closed your eyes for several days. What you have to do now is to have a good sleep. Once the war situation changes, I'll wake you up again."
"Okay." After hearing the news that the Japanese plane was repulsed, the tight strings in Zhou Huangzu's mind relaxed and he finally agreed to Deng Dazhi's request. With Deng Dazhi's support, he walked to a camp bed nearby and lay down. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he started snoring within thirty seconds.
On the contrary to Zhou Huangzu who breathed a sigh of relief, Toshima Botaro, who was commanding the troops to launch a fierce attack on Meixi Town in Minqing, also received the message from Lu Hang. He looked at the telegram in his hand blankly, and he was stunned. on the spot.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what's wrong?" Colonel Toshio, the chief of staff on the side, couldn't help but asked a little strangely.
"See for yourself!" After a long sigh, Futaro Toshima handed the telegram in his hand to field member Toshio,
After hurriedly reading the message, Toshio, the field member, couldn't help but be shocked: "What, our air support was stopped because the losses were too great and there was no replacement? How is this possible? Doesn't an empire of this magnitude actually have no aircraft to replace it?"
"I guess this is true." Toshima Botaro smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The air battles these days are very fierce. Japanese planes try to bomb us every day, and our aviation forces are always trying to stop them. , otherwise the Japanese aerial bombs would have fallen on our heads long ago. But you haven't noticed that the Japanese aircraft are far better than ours, and their battle damage rate is also much lower than ours. I made preliminary calculations. In the past few days, we have lost no less than 400 aircraft, and the Japanese have lost no more than 40 aircraft. Such a high battle loss ratio is simply not something we can bear. Although with Gang For the face of the village commander, just replenishing the aircraft should not be a big problem.Replenishing pilots is very troublesome. After all, it is not a simple matter to replenish hundreds of pilots at once. This matter will definitely alarm the base camp. "
Field member Toshio was silent for a while before biting and saying: "Baga Yalu, these damn ** people, they actually use white phosphorus incendiary bombs prohibited by international public law. Many of our pilots were hit by such white phosphorus bombs after their planes were hit." He died as a result of the plane catching fire and exploding."
Toshima Botaro waved his hand and said impatiently: "Tanata-kun, don't say these childish words. Let's discuss how to continue the attack."
Toshima Fusutaro ignored Toshima Toshio's naive words. Now that China and Japan have only seen this kind of war, they accuse each other of using white phosphorus incendiary bombs despite international law. Isn't this nonsense?
The use of poison gas bombs is still prohibited under public international law, but when the Japanese army and the Chinese army fought, did they not feel any psychological pressure if they did not use it? Why? Isn't it because the Chinese army is too weak and has no means to counter the Japanese army? Isn't that why the Japanese army used it so unscrupulously? If it weren't for a ruthless man like Su Rui who used poison gas bombs to kill tens of thousands of Japanese troops at Nanjing Pier and Taierzhuang, how could the Japanese have stopped in anger.
So, in the final analysis, the only thing that competes between countries is strength. Things like fairness and morality can only be discussed when the two sides are equal in strength. This is the same whether in slave society, feudal society or later capitalist society, and it will never change due to social progress. It has been true since ancient times.
Tian Yuan Toshio said without thinking: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Japanese defense line is already shaky after our attacks for several days. As long as we work harder, we will definitely be able to penetrate them, so I suggest that we increase the intensity of the attack immediately. We must break through the Japanese defenses before they use their air superiority to launch a counterattack against us!"
It has to be said that as the chief of staff of the 30th Regiment, Toshio Tanata reacted very quickly. He immediately saw the crisis from the defeat of his own aviation force, and Fusutaro Toshima also agreed with him.
"Yo Xi, what Tian Yuanjun said makes sense. I think so too. You tell Major General Katayama Riichiro immediately that I will give him another two hours to break through the enemy's position, otherwise military law will be engaged! "
"Hai!" Tian Yuanli's heart trembled. After bowing, he immediately turned around and called the fifth brigade
With the order of Futaro Toshima, the fifth brigade in charge of the attack began to increase the intensity of the attack. Under the cover of the field artillery unit, they formed a wave formation and rushed towards Messi Town crazily.
The wave formation is the most frequently used formation by the Japanese Army and is widely loved by Japanese military officers. What Japanese officers like to do most when attacking is to divide all the troops into ten teams evenly, and then these ten teams start to attack the target one by one. When one team fails to attack, the second pair immediately follows up and attacks directly. , there is no pause in the middle, just like the huge waves on the sea, one wave after another, giving people an endless feeling. Since the Anti-Japanese War, countless people have fallen victim to this method of fighting, so today the Japanese army still uses this method of fighting that they are best at.
"Say, say"
One after another, 75-caliber artillery shells continued to fall into a position in the northeast of Messi Town, setting off waves of dust. A group of Japanese soldiers, under the command of a captain, pounced crazily towards the Chinese army position ahead.
"Brave imperial soldiers! Hurry! For the sake of the Japanese Empire! Kill all those ** people!"
The captain who was running in the middle of the team held his command knife high and commanded the soldiers to scream desperately. He didn't pay attention to the rain of bullets flying around him. He screamed and tried his best to drive the surrounding soldiers forward to attack. The grassroots officers of the Japanese army have great power. They not only manage the soldiers under their command in peacetime, but also in war. If they find that any soldier is afraid of war, they often do not mind using the sword in their hands to educate the soldiers. How to charge.
"Warriors, charge, charge forward and kill them all"
But this time the captain only shouted half of his words before he stepped on an American M3 anti-infantry mine, which was buried in a layer of floating soil.
He heard the sound coming from under his feet with his own ears, and saw his two severed feet flying up with big yellow cowhide boots. Along with the two broken legs was a stream of bright red liquid.
He saw a small tree nearby being knocked down by the shock wave. He struggled to stand up, but it was impossible. The two points of support on his body no longer existed. He was blown up by the shock wave after the mine exploded. Still holding the command knife in his hand, he flew a few meters and fell hard to the side road.
fallAnother anti-infantry mine hit the body on the side of the path, and another black smoke rose from under the body. Half of his chest and lower abdomen were immediately blown away. He only had time to let out a scream. Before the scream could stop, his whole body was lifted up by a violent wave of air. The huge vortex made his body turn over, and the hand that was originally held in his hand was lifted up. The command knife was also stuck diagonally in the field when it fell to the ground (To be continued.)
