Jiang Qiang added: "Chief of the General Staff, although we have a small victory, it is obvious that the Japanese will never give up. There will definitely be similar actions, and it may be a protracted war! The gains and losses of this air battle
We still have to summarize it carefully. We should never forget the past and the future. We will learn from each other and gain wisdom. I will leave this matter to you!" Chang Yuan quickly nodded and accepted the order: "Okay, please
Don’t worry, Chief, this is my responsibility and I will handle it properly!”
"Yeah!" Jiang Qiang nodded, then stood up and said, "Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Now that the air raid alert has been lifted, it's time for us to do our own thing!" After that, Jiang Qiang took the lead.
Walking towards the door. When he reached the first floor, Jiang Qiang raised his head and looked at the cloudless sky. There were no traces of the fierce air battle at all. Everything was calm again.
"Compared to nature, human beings are still too small!" Jiang Qiang couldn't help but sigh, and then took out his PHS and called Tingting to ensure her safety: "Hey, Tingting, it's okay now, we won the battle!
..." "Haha! Great, our air force has won another great victory!" "I'm just saying, if you run wild here, the little devil is just asking for his own death!" "Young man, who doesn't know how to use hindsight?
Who was it just now that was worshiping Gods and praying to Buddhas all the time?" "Hehe!"
"Okay! It's okay now. Everyone can go home!" "Wow, I thought something would happen, but nothing happened at all!" "That's not because we have a strong air force. How can we allow the little devil to be here?
Go wild!" As the air raid warning was lifted, soldiers and civilians hiding in various civil defense projects came out one after another.
When everyone saw that their homes had not been damaged, their only worries disappeared instantly, and everyone felt extremely comfortable!
Baoding Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters. Ever since he ordered the Third Aircraft Group to launch "Operation Tenchu", the old Japanese Shun Tada has not had a moment of peace and has been walking around in the combat hall. Although he is in a high position and has a very high vision, this time
At this moment, Shun Tada really couldn't calm down, because the success or failure of this air battle was closely related.
If they win, the Flying Tigers of the Shandong Group Army will suffer heavy losses. The Shandong Group Army will be like a tiger with its fangs pulled out and lose the capital to challenge the Japanese Air Force. The North China Front Army and the China Expeditionary Force will be able to launch a ground offensive without restraint and complete the attack in one go.
Solve this serious problem.
Shun Tada will naturally become famous in one battle, and his future career will be bright. It is only a matter of time before he is promoted to general. If he loses, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Japanese Empire. The offensive and defensive situation will be reversed in an instant, and the long-planned encirclement and annihilation plan will be completely destroyed.
In vain, we can only adopt passive defense against the Tiger and Ben Army for a long time. Therefore, for Shun Tada, this battle can only be won but not lost! "..."
The dozen or so senior Japs generals also frowned and their faces were so gloomy that they could cry out. Although they all held back a lot of things to say, everyone was silent at this time. Except for the sound of Tada Shun pacing back and forth, the whole scene was silent.
The combat hall was eerily quiet. It is no exaggeration to say that even if a pin dropped at this time, you could hear it clearly! "It has been more than an hour, and the victory in the air combat should have come to an end!"
After a long while, Tada Shun lowered his head to look at his watch, and finally couldn't help turning his head to look at the solemn-looking Kinoshita Toshiro and said: "Kinoshita-kun, is there no definite news yet?" Kinoshita hurriedly replied: "Indeed, not yet.
When the news comes back, Commander, please rest assured, I have already told you that if there is any news, I will report it as soon as possible!"
"Yo Xi! I believe that the Japanese Empire will win!" Tada Shun could only cheer himself up. "Dong dong dong!"
At this time, a Japanese intelligence officer knocked on the door in a panic. "Major Yatsuo, come in quickly!" Kinoshita immediately waved his hand and called Yatsuo Kei to him, and asked anxiously: "Is there any specific news now?"
Yao Kei quickly replied: "Your Excellency, General, the fighter planes of the Third Flying Group have returned one after another, and the specific situation is currently being calculated.
However, according to the accounts of several pilots, we suffered a lot in this battle and did not gain much advantage! It is said that the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery is extremely powerful, and the number of Chinese fighter jets is much greater than we imagined..." Hearing this
, Kinoshita Satoshi couldn't help but his heart twitched suddenly, he looked at Yao Kei with wide eyes and shouted: "Nani? You mean we lost this battle? How is this possible!"
Seeing Kinoshita Toshita trying to eat people, Yatsuo Kei shivered with fear and quickly explained: "The situation is not perfect at present, and the battle damage and results need further statistics." Tada Shun walked over quickly and gave a stern order with a livid face.
Said: "Yours, go verify the situation immediately and compile the results quickly!
By the way, now find a few pilots who participated in the war to report the situation to the headquarters!" "Hai!" Yatsuo Keiru was granted amnesty. He quickly turned around and ran away, not daring to stay for a moment longer. "Nani? The Japanese Empire suffered a loss in this battle.
147 fighter jets and 8 bombers, but only destroyed less than a hundred Chinese fighter jets? It is estimated that there are still about 500 Chinese fighter jets!..." "Bagaya Road! How could this happen?"
After working back and forth for nearly an hour, Tada Shun finally received the final result report, and suddenly his whole body felt bad.
Although this battle cannot be said to be a major defeat, the total battle damage far exceeded expectations, and most importantly, it did not cause fatal damage to the Shandong Group Army Flying Tigers. "This is really incredible, I really can't imagine where they came from
We have obtained so many fighter jets with advanced performance!" Kinoshita Satoshi's face was gloomy, but he said with a somewhat thankful tone:
"Thanks to the participation of the latest fighter jets of the Imperial Navy this time, otherwise our Third Aircraft Group would not be our opponent at all!"
"Baga!" Shun Tada was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. After a long while, he roared murderously: "We cannot let the blood of the Empire's warriors be shed in vain. This battle has already begun and we must not give up halfway. Okabe-kun, you immediately
Get in touch with the Combined Fleet Command and ask them to continue to cooperate fully with the Army Aviation and completely annihilate the Chinese Air Force no matter what!"
The clay figure also has three points of fire, not to mention he is an old devil who regards human life as nothing. While feeling the inexplicable humiliation, Tada Shun's anger and murderous intent both exploded. He wished he could mobilize all combat aircraft to blow up the Shandong area right now.
"Hai!" Naosaburo Okabe paused heavily. At this point, there really is nothing else to say except to continue to attack hard. You can't just fight a tough battle and then back off.
In this case, they will only become the butt of jokes, be despised and ridiculed, and their future career will be in vain, so at this time, they must grit their teeth no matter what.
"Fire~Fire~?" As soon as the Japanese plane was defeated, the fire brigade from various counties sounded the alarm and rushed out, running towards the burning fire points as quickly as possible. The military police brigade, the police force and the garrison troops of each defense area
At this time, teams were also drawn out to participate in a series of aftermath matters such as restoring order, putting out fires and rescuing disasters, searching for and rescuing the wounded, and hunting down Japs!
In order to give Jiang Qiang the illusion of large-scale bombing, the Japanese sent a large number of bombers to carry out violent bombings on the coastal defense line, as well as Changshan County, Zouping County, Hengtai County and other towns. Among them, Tianzhuang Town in Hengtai County was one of them, which suffered
After a near-destructive bombing, it was turned into ruins.
"It's over! It's all over!" "Oh! How can we survive now!" "These damn beasts! Why do they always come to harm us?" After the air raid warning was lifted, people gradually came out of various air defense bunkers.
, only then did they discover that the originally prosperous and beautiful town had been destroyed by the war.
Except for a few military buildings and government buildings still standing, the entire small town was almost razed to the ground, with ruins and raging fires everywhere.
Seeing everything in front of them, all the people felt so cold. Most of them were refugees from other places, and there were also many people who had been transferred from Changshan County and Zouping County. They had all suffered the destruction of their homes.
, the painful experience of being displaced, finally found a peaceful and happy place to live, but not long after the good days had just begun, the new home was blown up by the Japanese again.
Among this group of people were Ma Yaonan's grandmother, who had just arrived in Hengtai County for a few days, mother An, wife Wang, cousin Ma Dezhai, uncle Ma Maojun, Ma Tianmin's wife Zhu Ming, Ma Xiaoyun's wife Shi Guang and other Ma family members.
Originally, they all had a foothold in Qixia County, but after Ma Yaonan led the anti-Japanese guerrillas to regain Yutai County, in order to support Ma Yaonan's reconstruction and revolutionary work, the Ma family had no choice but to give up their good life in Qixia County and move their family back to Yutai County.
.However, because Jiang Qiang's hatred level was too deep, the Japs came back to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Shandong Group Army. However, as the weakest anti-Japanese guerrillas, they were at the forefront and naturally became the first target of the Japs' attack.
Yutai County not only suffered severe destruction, but also faced greater threats at all times. The Ma family followed many people and retreated to the Shandong Army Defense Area. Jiang Qiang made appropriate arrangements for these people who had been withdrawn from the red zone. Not only did they
Relief supplies were distributed and accommodation was arranged.
Unfortunately, today we suffered another devastating air raid. The entire town was almost destroyed by the war. It would take more than a day or two to rebuild. Looking at the ruins of the town, Ma Dezhai said in an annoyed tone: "
Alas, if I had known it would be like this, we shouldn't have moved out of Qixia County in the first place, that is the safest place!"
Ma Maojun nodded in pain and agreed: "Yes, Yaonan and the others are still too weak compared to the Japs. Once the Japs take action, how can they hold on? Let's think about things too simply. If we continue, the Ma family will
Sooner or later, the foundation will be lost in our hands!"
Ma Yaonan's grandfather, Ma Xibin, had three sons. The eldest son, Ma Maojun, and the second son, Ma Maowei, both attended private schools. The third son, Ma Maoyi, died young. When he became an adult, the eldest son, Ma Maojun, assisted his father in managing the farm and industry affairs at home, and the second son, Ma Maowei, opened a private school at home to teach people.
Studying. Before the July 7th Incident, the Ma family owned more than 130 acres of land, more than 100 houses, many workshops and shops for silk weaving, weaving, oil pressing, and wine making, and employed more than 40 workers, including long-term workers.
In order to protect the family from bandits, the Ma family had its own nursing team, purchasing 3 box guns, 7 foreign guns, dozens of native guns, dozens of native guns, and several native cannons. It was considered a prominent force in Changshan County at that time.
Ma Maojun, who comes from a famous family and has a strong sense of family, really has little interest in resisting Japan and revolution. What he wants to do most in his heart is to pass on the incense of the Ma family and shine the lintel of his family.
Before returning to Yutai County for development, he mainly took a fancy to Ma Yaonan's status and wanted to return home in glory, but Ma Maojun did not expect that things would develop to this point. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he lost all his money and became
Homeless refugees.
Thinking of this, Ma Maojun felt extremely uncomfortable and regretful to death. The most serious thing was that he felt sorry for his dead father and failed to live up to his instructions before his death. An said apologetically: "Brother, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble again!
When I see Yaonan one day, I will definitely ask him to find a way to compensate you!"
"Brother and sister, what you said is out of context. That's not what I meant just now. Don't get me wrong!" Ma Maojun quickly waved his hand and said: "I want to say that those who understand current affairs are heroes. The president treats our Ma family well.
If the headquarters hadn't sent a plane to take us to Qixia County for refuge, our whole family might have been harmed by the Japanese.
Moreover, the headquarters also provided so many weapons and military supplies to Yaonan and the others, otherwise how could they have persisted until now? We must be grateful as human beings. We, the Ma family, should not take so many benefits from others and even think about establishing our own business.
I blush when I talk about this!" "Who says otherwise? I have always thought that joining the headquarters is the wisest thing to do, but I, a woman, can't persuade Xiaoyun at all!"
"Yes! The same is true for Tianmin. I am determined to follow Yaonan to fight against the Japanese. I have no choice!" When this was said to their hearts, Zhu Ming and Shi Guangshen thought they were nodding in agreement. An sighed softly: "What do you mean?
, I understand! It's just that you don't know about Yaonan's stubborn temper. Even ten cows can't get him back from the things he's determined to do!
I speak with conscience, I also think what you said is very reasonable. As a human being, you know how to repay kindness, not to mention that just like the chief executive, you are also fighting the Japanese! When we get the chance later, we will give Yaonan a good advice together! In front of us
The most important thing for us is to work together and overcome difficulties together, everything else is trivial." Ma Yaonan's wife, Wang, quickly added: "Yes, we have survived such difficult and dangerous days in the past, so this difficulty is nothing now!
As long as we are fine, we can earn back our family business sooner or later!" "Okay! Let's take it one step at a time!" Ma Maojun waved his hand gently, not wanting to continue talking, but the bold idea in his heart became more and more determined. Just at this
At that time, Tan Shanjian, the mayor of Tianzhuang Town, Jinxiang County, led several staff into the crowd, stood on a pile of rubble, raised his arms and shouted:
"Folks, don't worry or panic. The little devils only have that little ability, and now they have been repulsed by our Shandong Army! Our homes have been destroyed, we can just rebuild them. What's the big deal? I think back then, our commander-in-chief
Aren't we starting from scratch,..." "Mayor Tan, that's what I said, but now we are homeless, have no food, no clothing, and no place to live, how are we going to live like this?"
"Yes, I left in a hurry today. I panicked and ended up bringing nothing with me. Now I am completely penniless!" "Mayor Tan, you are a good official. Please give us a way to survive.
!" "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwww, yeah, we, uh, uh, uh, we worked hard to rebuild our home, we worked hard for a whole year, and now everything is destroyed!" "Will the little devils come to us?" "What's the point of this world?
Don't let people live anymore?" "The little devils are really a bunch of beasts, and they will be punished sooner or later!"
Before Tan Shanjian finished speaking, the people below couldn't help but start complaining, and they couldn't stop talking. Thinking of the destruction of a good family and the fruits of hard work, and becoming nothing again, everyone became more and more excited as they talked,
The more he talked, the sadder he became, and tears began to flow down uncontrollably.
"Folks, please be quiet and listen to me!" Tan Shanjian was naturally able to understand everyone's mood and did not show any impatience. He yelled several times before everyone became quiet again. Tan Shanjian then shouted loudly: "Please
Everyone believes in the General Secretary, believes in the government, and believes in our Shandong Army soldiers. We are confident and capable of smashing all the plots of the little devils. We will never let the people under our rule starve and be displaced.
I believe that the General Administration will soon issue relevant policies. As long as everyone is united with the government and implements the instructions of the General Administration, and everyone works together as one, all enemies are paper tigers, all difficulties are vulnerable, and victory will always belong to us!"
"Really?" "It's really great!" "Long live the Commander-in-Chief!" "Long live the Shandong Army!" "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "The Shandong Army will win!"
Jiang Qiang's prestige is of course not useless, and the credibility of the Shandong Army Defense Area Government is also very strong. At this time, he received a personal commitment from the mayor of Tianzhuang Town, and the people around him suddenly felt warm in their hearts and no longer worried and panicked. As long as they were not short of food and clothing,
As long as the Tiger Army can keep the Japs out, there really is nothing to worry about.
"Fire~fire~?" At this time, more than a dozen fire trucks came to Tianzhuang Town with their alarm bells on. Seeing this, Tan Shanjian quickly waved his hands and said: "Folks, get out of the way and don't block the road. The county fire brigade is here to help us put out the fire."
It's over!" "Ah, okay!" "Folks, God helps those who help themselves, we can't just wait for the fire fighters to help us put out the fire, we have to learn to save ourselves!" "Yes! Let's do it together, put out the fire and rescue supplies!" "Unity is unity.
Power!" "Hey, stop standing still and start putting out the fire!"
Seeing the fire brigade coming from afar to help put out the fire, the people were moved to tears. They didn't know who was leading the way, but everyone responded quickly and joined in the fire-fighting operation.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Qiang walked into the commander-in-chief's office with a document. When he saw Jiang Qiang, he saluted and said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, today's battle damage statistics are out!" "Okay!"
Jiang Qiang nodded, quickly reached out to take the document, nodded and looked at it, his brows couldn't help but wrinkled, and he muttered: "The Air Force killed 29 people, seriously injured 14 people, and completely destroyed 67 fighter planes, which were seriously damaged and need to be overhauled.
31 aircraft.
The Army lost 43 people, 21 were seriously injured, and 14 anti-aircraft guns were damaged. 44 civilians were killed, 35 were seriously injured, and 1,727 civilian houses were damaged..." "This loss is not small! Little devil, sooner or later this account will follow.
You figure it out!"
After reading the report, Jiang Qiang took a deep breath. It was impossible to fight on the homeland without suffering losses, but now he did not have the ability to completely shut out the enemy, so he could only bite the bullet and fight the Japanese with real swords.
Real gun consumption!
Wang Qiang nodded and agreed with a heavy heart: "Yes, Mr. Commander, the little devil is determined to eat us this time. I'm afraid there will be bigger moves next!" "What are you afraid of? We started from scratch.
The worst case scenario is to smash these pots and jars! The little devil wants to eat us, but that’s just wishful thinking!"
As the saying goes, one must be strong without desire. Jiang Qiang no longer expects a smooth transition until the outbreak of the Pacific War. Instead, he no longer has the anxiety and worry he had before. With the hard power at hand, Jiang Qiang does not worry about being driven to the end by the Japanese at worst.
The "Bloody Battle of Stalingrad in the East" turned Shandong into a flesh and blood mill for the devils!
After a pause, Jiang Qiang looked at Wang Qiang and said: "Strategically, we must despise the enemy, and tactically, we must pay attention to the enemy. What you just said is right. According to the current development trend, before the little devil is completely beaten, hurt and confused, it is
We will not give up our desire to kill ourselves easily! Today they held back and did not continue to attack. There will definitely be a more brutal and bloody battle tomorrow. Send me an order. All departments must be mentally prepared for the worst. Only by working together can we overcome the difficulties together!"
Wang Qiang gave a heavy salute and said: "Please rest assured, sir, all the men of our Shandong Army will never retreat even a step and vow to fight the Japanese to the bitter end!" Jiang Qiang waved his hand and said: "Okay, you have had a tiring day today, so go back early.
Take a rest and comfort your family, there is a lot of noise today!" "Thank you, General Manager, for your concern, and I will take my leave!"
First come first, first come first. Although Wang Qiang's main identity now is still Jiang Qiang's accompanying adjutant, he is no longer a bag-carrying man who follows behind. His actual position is the head of the security regiment of the Army Headquarters.
Woo~woo~woo~ In the early morning of August 11, the fierce air defense siren sounded again in the Shandong Army defense zone. As Jiang Qiang expected, the Japanese, unwilling to fail, launched another large-scale air raid, but today's attack
The tactics are obviously different from yesterday. Yesterday's large-scale air battle really hurt the little devil, and the little devil changed his offensive strategy.
The Japanese combat aircraft no longer dared to fly into the hinterland and attack the towers against the air defense net. Instead, they concentrated their superior forces on Guangrao County, Putai County, Qingcheng County, Qidong County, Zouping County, Changshan County, Hengtai County, etc.
Several counties in the Japanese-occupied areas launched carpet bombings.
The ground air defense troops of the Shandong Group Army, who were always prepared, entered the position as soon as possible. When the Japanese fleet arrived, the extremely powerful air defense firepower network roared one after another. Violent gunshots and explosions resounded throughout the world, dazzling the eyes.
The beam of light pierced the sky, just like fireworks rising into the sky, lighting up the gray sky!
The Japanese bombers also tried their best, completely ignoring the crazy artillery fire on the ground and the dense debris exploding around them, opening the cabin and frantically throwing bombs down. One after another heavy aerial bombs fell from the sky with a fierce roar, as if
One by one, ferocious devils emerged from hell.
After receiving the call, Jiang Qiang went to the headquarters as soon as possible. As soon as he saw Huang Hong, he asked: "What is the specific situation now?" Huang Hong quickly replied: "Report to the headquarters, the Japanese have concentrated a large number of bombers.
A large-scale bombing was carried out on the northwest defense zone of our army, and our army's air defense troops were engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese.
In addition, the Yutai County and Jinxiang County of the third detachment were also bombed by the Japanese, and it is said that the losses were heavy. The Japanese bombing was real this time, basically all bombers, instead of attacking east and west like yesterday, the bombers were just used as cover.
The frontline investigators also reported back intelligence that the Japanese had assembled a large number of army troops and had signs of attacking Zichuan County, Changshan County, Zouping County and Qidong County head-on.
According to our preliminary analysis and judgment, the Japanese are going to formally launch a decisive battle and try to open a breakthrough from these counties and cities!" After listening to Huang Hong's report, Jiang Qiang nodded and said: "The Japanese's intention to fight is already obvious, and this time it is no longer the case.
It is a conspiracy to be clever, but it is a conspiracy, hoping to use the superiority of the air force to force our army to engage in a decisive battle with it.
