Lieutenant General Nakajima Imago, the commander of the 16th Division, and Colonel Kishiida, the chief of staff of the 16th Division, Lieutenant General Hisao Nagatani, and the chief of staff, Colonel Shimono Ichi, commanded with anxious expressions.
While the air defense troops of the Sixth Division were conducting air defense operations, and the infantry troops were going to rescue the Japanese artillery units that were being bombarded by air strikes,
He also immediately put down the military telescope in his hand in a panic, and ordered as quickly as possible to move his artillery units immediately, and he would never allow them to be destroyed by He Feiyang's flying units.
As the orders from the two of them were issued, the Japanese artillery troops, with the assistance of a large number of Japanese infantry, were carrying the artillery quickly and conducting transfer operations.
In order to improve work efficiency and execution, Chief of Staff Colonel Kishiida personally led a group of combat staff to supervise the speed and process of transportation, as well as preparations for air defense operations.
For a time, not only the Sixth Division was thrown into chaos by the bombing, but the Sixteenth Division in the rear, which had not yet been bombed, was also in chaos.
But in the other direction,
The Japanese army's attack was very smooth. With a sweeping posture, the remaining national army troops who held their positions were defeated step by step.
The residents of the capital have become accustomed to frequent air raids and bombings by Japanese aircraft groups.
Especially when the Japanese army was getting closer and closer, as soon as the air defense siren sounded, many residents habitually hid in air defense trenches and caves to take shelter.
From the panic and fear at the beginning, to the normal expression now.
This is because since the Battle of Songhu began, Japanese aircraft groups have been bombing the capital city with air strikes almost every day.
In many cases, bombings are carried out several times a day,
Therefore, when they were first attacked by Japanese aircraft, many citizens panicked and hid in basements and air-raid trenches. At that time, even after the Japanese aircraft had left, they were still frightened and wondering whether to
After going out, and after going out, will the Japanese aircraft group have not left, or will the Japanese aircraft group soon come back for air raids, and will their personal safety be in danger?
However, after many air raids were carried out that day, some citizens even walked into the caves and air raid trenches to chat and laugh.
Because the capital's air defense equipment and facilities are the best in the country.
Especially before the war, a lot of anti-aircraft guns and pursuit aircraft were deployed to intercept and attack the enemy's incoming aircraft groups.
Moreover, there are public air-raid caverns all over the streets. As soon as the air-raid sirens sound, the army and police in charge of air defense will immediately drive away pedestrians on the road and enter their houses, or they will take shelter and enter the caves for air defense.
Even if it is attacked at night, the air defense forces will immediately turn off the lights in the city as soon as the air defense siren sounds, so that the Japanese aircraft cannot see the buildings clearly for bombing.
Even the air defense patrol team would patrol the city to see if there were any traitors who would let the Japanese planes fly, send out light signals, etc., and the roads that had been blown up would be quickly repaired overnight.
Even air defense alarms, in addition to air raid alarms and emergency alarms, also have disarming alarms, poison gas alarms, fire alarms, and different sounds of various instruments.
However, with the defeat of the Battle of Songhu and the Japanese army approaching the city,
The current air defense of the capital is no longer what it was at the beginning. It can still have a large number of destroyer aircraft groups to intercept the Japanese aircraft groups, and there are not many anti-aircraft guns for air defense.
However, there will still be air-raid sirens, there will still be air-raid training teams, and those caves all over the streets will still exist.
So when He Feiyang's flying troops conducted flying bombings on the Niushou Mountain side of the city,
The air raid sirens here in the capital suddenly rang.
Make air defense preparations for the residents in the city in advance.
It's just that the soldiers and civilians in the city didn't know that these flying troops bombing the Japanese were not attacking from Japanese planes.
At this moment,
"Have you finished filming? We are so lucky today that we were able to capture such an unexpected battle situation!"
"What I'm most curious about now is where did these flying troops that were bombing Japanese artillery and infantry positions come from? Why are their aircraft models exactly the same as those of the German army? Although there are no German aircraft
Airplane logo!”
"But I saw their model correctly!"
Don Piot put away his shooting equipment and asked the foreign reporters around him happily.
I even asked Jennifer Taylor,
But Rodrigo Garcia, who was wearing glasses, stayed in the highlands to take photos.
"It's all taken. We will definitely become famous this time, and even arouse heated discussions among everyone, because we have taken all the battlefield photos of planes bombing Japanese artillery units, which is enough to detonate the atmosphere in the concession.
The citizens discussed it enthusiastically!”
The foreign reporter John also responded in a good mood.
He also held up the camera in his hand to indicate that everything was ready for filming.
"Hey! Of course, then let's evacuate here immediately!"
Don Piot nodded.
He now wished he could rush home immediately to send the photos of the battlefield and the written press articles back to the foreigners' Songhu Concession as quickly as possible so that they could be published in newspapers to make money and fame.
"Yes! I also plan to leave immediately, otherwise I'm worried that those plane groups will bomb our side!"
"Moreover, the Japanese army is now approaching the city in larger numbers and is about to approach the city, so we sent out the latest news photos and manuscripts we had as soon as possible, and then thought about whether we should continue to stay in this city for news interviews.
!”
The foreign reporter John also nodded readily and responded.
Don Piot nodded again in agreement.
Jennifer Taylor, on the other hand, remained silent, put away her camera and other shooting equipment, followed Don Piot and John, then turned around and left to meet up with Rodrigo Garcia, who was wearing glasses.
Go back to the capital city.
It didn't take long for them to go back.
Especially since they are foreigners, it is easier for them to get in and out of the city's defense forces.
And when they entered the city,
I also returned to their office as quickly as possible, posted photos of the battlefield, and wrote news articles, and then sent them back to the foreign newspaper in the concession in Songhu to publish the news.
That night, in the foreign concession in Songhu, the entire press released the news of this air raid on the Japanese artillery positions.
It immediately aroused heated discussion throughout the city and a sales frenzy.
Especially those patriotic students and people, as well as residents, are rushing to buy newspapers to read.
Because this is their chance to see the news of victory over the Japanese, and hope.
Therefore, the newspapers published by foreign reporters such as Jennifer Taylor, Don Piyote, foreign reporter John, and the bespectacled Rodrigo Garcia immediately became popular.
