Surprisingly, the seven enemy planes disappeared from the south of Circle Ridge and did not return the same way they came. Dozens of seconds later, they roared in from the west.
When the enemy planes fired strings of bullets and dropped bombs one after another as they flew toward the No. 2 position, Yumei shouted out loud: "Zikai, be careful."
Shanzi glanced at it, took aim, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Go back."
During the roar, Shanzi had already pulled the trigger. The bullets spit out from the muzzle went straight through the sky.
Encountering ground fire blockade again, the bombers suddenly raised their heads and circled at an altitude of 1,000 meters, bombing indiscriminately.
As soon as we saw the densely packed bombs falling one after another, our firepower lost its ability to strike. Shanzi and Zhao Danian moved left and right, forward and back. They kept shouting: "Get down quickly."
Yumei also called here: "Zikai, Brother Zhao, you guys should also lie down quickly."
Following Yumei's call, he looked around. A bomb dropped rapidly from a height of 100 meters and hit the open space between Xiaoru and Yumei.
In desperation, Shanzi jumped several meters away and punched Yumei and Xiaoru on the chests with both hands. Under the force of the violent collision, the two girls fell to the ground.
The moment Shanzi landed, the bomb made a loud boom. The thrown up earth and rocks flew everywhere, quickly burying Shanzi's body.
After a round of circling bombing, enemy planes dropped hundreds of bombs. Because the bombing distance was too high, most of them missed the target. Only a few barracks were reduced to a sea of flame ruins under the cover of thick smoke and fire.
The enemy plane quickly lowered its altitude and launched a new round of bombing on ground targets.
At the same time, all firepower points launched a counterattack. In just a few seconds, an enemy aircraft flying in the center of the camp was hit by several bullets and plummeted onto the barracks.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the six surviving enemy planes immediately increased their altitude and panicked and fled due north.
At this time, I looked at Shanzi again. His face was blackened by smoke and stained with blood, and was beyond recognition. Although he was standing upright with the support of Zhao Danian, what he saw was that the sky was spinning and the earth was spinning.
Yumei and Xiaoru were like two wooden sculptures, standing stiffly in front of Shanzi. They looked expressionless, without life or vitality. All they had was inner guilt and tears.
Not long after the enemy plane left, the observation tower sounded the air defense clearance alarm again. All air defense firepower points quickly packed up their weapons and ran towards their original positions.

After a comprehensive examination by doctors, Shanzi was found to be in no serious condition. He only suffered some skin injuries.
When Yumei washed Shanzi's face in person, Shanzi growled abruptly: "Get out."
And when Xiaoyan was bandaging Shanzi, Shanzi snatched the gauze away and threw it far away.
Next, Shanzi ordered Yumei to convene a party committee meeting immediately.
A few minutes later, except for Battalion Commander Song who was seriously injured and could not attend the meeting, all the other six members arrived. They included Shanzi, Yumei, Zhao Danian, Xiaolong, Xiaohu, and Company Commander Gao.
When Yumei announced the start of the meeting, Shanzi got straight to the point and asked the meeting to give Comrade Jiang Yumei a warning within the party. The reason was...
As a political commissar, Jiang Yumei ignored wartime disciplines and repeatedly left her post without permission. She took the lead in interfering with the command authority of the regiment leader. She made serious mistakes and would never tolerate or accommodate.
As soon as Shanzi finished speaking, Yumei went on to explain the mistakes she had made.
After describing the entire process of the mistakes made, Yumei’s final conclusion...
It was not Jiang Yumei who really violated discipline, but Wang Zikai.
Upon hearing Yumei's conclusion, Shanzi became angry.
Zhao Danian said seriously: "Comrade Wang Zikai, this is the Party Committee of the Independent League. Please abide by organizational disciplines and respect others' speeches."
Shanzi patted the table again and sat down.
Zhao Danian continued: "I agree with Comrade Jiang Yumei's statement. By the way, since regulations have been made before the war, regiment leaders are not allowed to leave the regiment headquarters before the air defense alert is lifted. This regulation is also valid for regiment leaders."
Xiaolong said: "I personally think that Commander Wang's proposal is unreasonable. At the same time, I ask Commander Wang to review the mistakes he has made in person. If you agree, please raise your hands."
After saying that, Xiaolong was the first to raise his hand. Unexpectedly, he looked around and found that only Xiaohu and Captain Gao raised their right hands.
Xiaolong became angry. He first fired at Yumei: "Political Commissar Jiang, you are the party committee secretary. You should take the lead in adhering to principles. You cannot replace organizational principles with personal feelings."
Yumei said: "In principle, Captain Wang's behavior is not a mistake. The reason why it is regarded as a mistake is because everyone considers his personal safety. In the end, it is all due to emotions."
Xiaohu said: "Emotions are emotions. If we don't use organizational means to rectify him, who can guarantee that we will not make such the lowest mistakes again in the future."
Company Commander Gao said: "I agree with Xiaohu's opinion."
Yumei glanced at Zhao Danian. Zhao Danian said: "Political Commissar Jiang, together with Xiaolong and Xiaohu, go to the ward to ask for the opinion of Battalion Commander Song. If Battalion Commander Song agrees with Xiaolong's proposal, there is no other way. We have to act in accordance with the organizational principles. The minority will obey. most."
Shanzi knew that Xu, Li, Song, and Gao were known as the four-man gang who opposed him on certain issues. On today's issue, Battalion Commander Song undoubtedly stood on Xiaolong's side.
So when Yumei stood up, Shanzi took the initiative to express his position. It was not necessary to review, but it should not be in person. After the battle was over, he wrote a written review and submitted it to the party committee.
Yumei said that there is a time limit for submitting the petition. It cannot be later than ten o'clock tonight.
Shanzi hesitated for a long time, then with difficulty he said one word: "Okay."
Yumei just announced that the meeting was over. Guard platoon leader Xiao Zhang came to report that all the Japanese in the three planes were dead and the bodies had been cleaned up.
Later, Xiao Zhang submitted three independent regiment camp floor plans and other information to Shan Zi. These were all cleared from enemy planes.
Shanzi took a quick glance at it and told Xiao Zhang to send it to Xiao Ru to keep.
Xiao Zhang then asked how to deal with the corpse of the Japanese.
Shanzi's answer is very simple. Burn.
Xiao Zhang turned and left. Xiao Long added that the soldiers all wanted to see what the Japanese aircraft looked like. He hoped that the regiment headquarters would give them some time to arrange for the soldiers to take turns visiting.
Shanzi said that this matter was arranged by Political Commissar Jiang.
Yumei nodded in agreement. Shanzi went on to say that it is estimated that the enemy planes will not cause trouble again. The next step should be to be more vigilant and deal with the ground troops with all their strength.
Zhao Danian said to himself: "Who knows what new tricks the devils will play."
Shanzi smiled coldly: "Whatever. Let's go see the plane first."
After saying that, Shanzi was the first to leave the desk.
