Not long after the Japanese aircraft group appeared, they continued to drop aerial bombs one after another as usual and carried out bombing.
"The stupid Japanese planes are here again, quickly spread out and take cover!"
"Also, please pay attention to the enemy's naval artillery bombardment, which is the most dangerous!"
"Retreat quickly! Retreat to a safe distance!"
After the aircraft fleet carried out indiscriminate bombing that day, He Feiyang's expression changed dramatically, and he immediately issued a combat order to retreat again and disperse and hide.
"Boom! Boom! Boom, boom, boom."
However, the Japanese aircraft group did not stop bombing because He Feiyang issued a combat order to retreat and disperse.
Instead, they bombarded them even more indiscriminately,
The troops that suffered were not only the defeated elite troops of the National Army, but also the Sichuan Army troops.
In particular, all the Sichuan officers of the 794th Regiment, who had suffered many casualties, were the first to bear the brunt of the most intensive bombing attacks by the Japanese aircraft.
As for He Feiyang's troops, they had quickly dispersed under He Feiyang's order, desperately trying to hide while retreating.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom, boom, boom."
At this time, before the Japanese aircraft fleet had finished bombing, the Japanese fleet had already issued combat instructions for naval artillery bombardment.
As a result, many large-caliber naval guns quickly aimed at the cotton field and carried out artillery bombardments.
Under the sound of shelling that shook the ground one after another, the entire cotton field was horribly shaken. A lot of cotton was blown up and flying all over the sky, and then was swallowed up by the flames and billowing black smoke that shot up into the sky.
.
After the Japanese army used naval artillery bombardment,
After Yang Sen, commander of the 6th Army and Commander of the 20th Army, learned the news, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he could no longer sit still.
Although he sent Chen Jiaxing's troops, which were only the 397th Brigade of the 133rd Division, and a small number of troops from the 135th Division to support them,
But he couldn't stand by and watch the 397th Brigade of the 133rd Division being defeated by Japanese air strikes and naval gunfire.
He had already seen the Japanese naval artillery bombardment. With one shot, a squad, or even a platoon or more, would be destroyed in an instant.
Not to mention, now they have joined the Japanese aircraft group to assist in the bombing, which means that their Sichuan troops will be used as cannon fodder.
So soon, Army Commander Yang Sen also went to the front line in person to command the operations.
At the same time, he immediately dispatched the 399th Brigade and 798th Regiment of the 133rd Division to Chenjiaxing to carry out supporting operations.
The 133rd Division, which had its troops mobilized, asked the 135th Division to immediately dispatch a regiment to supply troops to strengthen the frontline defensive operations.
In fact, Yang Sen also really wanted to devote all the strength of one division or even two divisions to the battle of Chenjiaxing.
But he didn't dare to gamble like this.
Because if all his direct troops were defeated by the Japanese army, then he would become a bachelor commander.
That means he no longer has to be the commander of the 20th Army.
You must know that as a motley crew, if he does not have his direct troops to support him, then the chairman will definitely not reuse him.
He is not a direct descendant of Huangpu,
But for him, who was determined to kill the Japs, he did not want to watch the Japs unscrupulously carry out a war of aggression on his own country's soil.
Therefore, Yang Sen, who was heading to the front line to take command of the operation, was also quickly thinking about the next countermeasures.
Although there are a few main artillery positions of the National Army hidden in the cotton fields behind the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army, they were blown up in order to avoid being blown up by the Japanese artillery units and Japanese aircraft groups.
Therefore, these artillery positions use camouflage to cover up during the day.
Only at night did they occasionally shell the Japanese positions.
But such weak artillery bombing was nothing more than drizzle to the Japanese army and had no greater lethality.
Therefore, the Japanese artillery force and the Japanese aircraft group simply ignored the national artillery force, which lacked firepower and had little lethality.
So when he thought of this, Yang Sen couldn't help but sigh deeply in his car,
He had a severe headache and didn't know how to support his troops against the bombing of Japanese aircraft groups and the bombardment of Japanese naval guns.
"It seems that we can only wait for those damn Japanese air raids and naval artillery bombardments before we can launch a counterattack! Otherwise, as many troops as we send out now, we will lose as many troops as possible!"
"Damn it! It's all because our Twentieth Army is too poor. If my army can have as sophisticated heavy firepower weapons and equipment as those of the Japanese army, then I will definitely be able to crush all these stupid things to the ground.
Totally tortured!”
After sighing, Yang Sen was also in a bad mood and complained.
In the end, he closed his eyes helplessly, and without saying a word, he took his car and hurried to the frontline headquarters to take command.
Sichuan Army 133rd Division Headquarters,
Yang Hanyu, commander of the 133rd Division, was also very irritable at this time.
"How is the battle in Chenjiaxing going?"
"Can the 397th Brigade still withstand it? How many members of his 794th Regiment are still alive?"
"Has the bombardment by the Japanese planes ended? And the bombardment by those naughty Japanese naval guns? Has their bombardment also stopped?"
When Liu Xihan, commander of the 399th Brigade, was dispatched to his headquarters, he asked the other party as soon as they met.
"I just arrived! Master! You should ask the brigade commander Zhou Hanxi, right? His troops are currently on the cotton field in Chenjiaxing, and they are fighting fiercely with the Japanese troops!"
"It is also because of this that I was directly dispatched by the military commander, and the military commander is also preparing to come to the front line to conduct command operations in person! So I can't answer your question!"
But to the series of questions asked by Yang Hanyu, commander of the 133rd Division, who was in a hurry, Liu Xihan, the commander of the 399th Brigade who had just been dispatched, immediately responded with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Ah! This"
"Where is Zhou Hanxi?"
After hearing this, Yang Hanyu, commander of the 133rd Division, also discovered that the person in front of him was not Zhou Hanxi, the commander of the 397th Brigade, but Liu Xihan, the commander of the 399th Brigade who had been sent by Military Commander Yang Sen to support the operation.
For a moment, he blushed and asked awkwardly.
"I'm here! Master!"
"I just went to the telegraph operator. My 794th Regiment has been crippled by Japanese aircraft and naval bombardment. Now there is not even one-third of the remaining troops!"
"And there are still many wounded soldiers, so I think you have to send an extra unit to support them in the battle, otherwise we will lose the first battle to the incoming Japanese troops!"
In response to the embarrassing inquiry from Yang Hanyu, commander of the 133rd Division, Zhou Hanxi, commander of the 397th Brigade, also happened to come back from outside.
"What a bloody devil! They defeated my entire regiment so quickly!"
"Have the 798th Regiment that I dispatched arrived at the 794th Regiment?"
After hearing this, Yang Hanyu, commander of the 133rd Division, couldn't help but feel distressed at the heavy casualties his troops had suffered. He roared angrily and hurriedly asked.
"We're all here! We are now taking over from the soldiers of the 794th Regiment to fight against the counterattack of those Japanese infantry!"
Zhou Hanxi, the commander of the 397th Brigade, nodded quickly.
"Okay! If the war situation continues to be bad, then we will have to go to the front line to kill the enemy in person!"
"No matter what the cost, we must win the first battle!"
"For the sake of our military morale and morale in counterattacking Chen Jiaxing, we must win!"
After hearing that the 798th Regiment had successfully taken over the defense of the 794th Regiment, the 133rd Division Commander Yang Hanyu felt a little better and issued combat instructions with a firm look on his face.
"Yes! Master!"
Zhou Hanxi, commander of the 397th Brigade, and Liu Xihan, commander of the 399th Brigade, quickly nodded in agreement.
You must know that Li Chaoxin, deputy commander of the 135th Division next door, and Guo Dashu, chief of staff of the division, have personally supervised the troops and come to kill the Japanese.
What's more, now even their deputy commander is personally supervising the battle, and military commander Yang Sen is also personally involved.
Therefore, the two of them dare not say that they will not kill the enemy on the front line.
