Chapter 0329 This is not a textbook, but a battle!
Boom! Boom!
Two rounds of artillery fire were fired in the Dragon Boat Festival, but there was no result. The Japanese bombers ran away.
But at this time, Duanwu was already very satisfied. Although grandma's attack failed to completely wipe out the Japanese flying wing, he should have taken down at least half of the Japanese aircraft.
He didn't count, there should be more than a dozen of them. The loss of these planes was enough to give the little Japanese a lot of pain.
Although the cost of aircraft at that time was not as high as it is now, it was certainly more expensive than a tank, right?
So I can’t say that I won the Dragon Boat Festival in this battle, but at least I didn’t lose anything.
"Regiment, 19 planes, we destroyed 19 Japanese planes, hahaha, can you believe it?"
At this moment, Xie Jinyuan burst out laughing. And all the soldiers were also very surprised that there were so many.
"Regimental deputy, is this true? We shot down all 19 fighter jets? Oh my god, is it too simple?"
A soldier looked like Yue Yunpeng when he smiled. His eyes were not big to begin with, but they disappeared when he smiled.
He was so happy. Who would dare to think about 19 Japanese fighter jets? When the war started, he was thinking that it would be great if he could escape this Japanese air attack.
Many of the soldiers here have experienced the Battle of Songhu. How many bombs did the Japanese planes drop on Shanghai? Apart from the British Concession, there are not many places in Shanghai that are intact.
This was even more true for the positions of Chinese soldiers. After being bombed by Japanese planes, corpses were strewn across the fields.
At the beginning, Chinese aircraft were able to deal with Japanese aircraft, but they suffered repeated defeats.
Of course, this is not because the Chinese Air Force is incompetent, but that most of China's aircraft are obsolete products from abroad. They are not at the same level as the Japanese advanced fighters. It is reasonable to have repeated defeats in battles. This is like letting third-generation fighters go
Just like the competition between fourth-generation fighters and fifth-generation fighters, there is no comparison between the two.
So in the end, China's own airspace became dominated by Japanese aircraft.
The little devil's planes can blow up wherever they want. They don't take China's air force seriously at all.
But today, the Chinese soldiers finally exhaled and raised their eyebrows. Two fighter planes, a mixed company, two combat anti-aircraft guns, and a sudden surprise attack by Xie Jinyuan and others actually defeated the little Japanese flying wing.
.
This can be called another miracle in the battle against the Japanese Air Force. It is another legend created by the Dragon Boat Festival.
At this time, many soldiers felt that they were in a dream.
And especially Zhong Jiushan, the commander of the 174th Division, he almost shed tears of joy. Holding Xie Jinyuan's hand, he kept asking: "Brother Xie, is this true? 19 fighter planes, I feel like I am in a dream
Same here."
Xie Jinyuan laughed loudly and said: Of course this is true. If you don’t believe it, I will calculate it for you.
Xie Jinyuan said, counting on his fingers for Zhong Jiushan:
The 1st Mixed Company fought tooth and nail to destroy two bombers. These two Japanese bombers were completely purchased with the lives of the 1st Mixed Company.
Although the first mixed company suffered heavy casualties, it bought enough time for the special commissioner.
As soon as the special commissioner's 37 anti-aircraft guns appeared, the Japanese's five bombers were scrapped.
Four of them were hit by artillery shells, and the other one was unlucky enough to be affected by a fighter plane that exploded in the air. The plane lost control and crashed.
After that, three Japanese bombers dive-bombed the commissioner and Battalion Commander Sun. I led my men out of the woods and shot down these three fighter planes with more than a hundred machine guns.
The American pilots Brooke and Paul destroyed a total of four fighter jets and three bombers in their fighter jets. They destroyed a total of seven Japanese aircraft and caused damage to many Japanese aircraft.
After that, when the Japanese bombers escaped, the special commissioner and Battalion Commander Sun used the 37 combat anti-aircraft gun to make new achievements and destroyed two more Japanese bombers. A total of 19 Japanese fighter planes were destroyed and many fighter planes were injured.
Hearing this, Zhong Jiushan was so excited that he almost jumped up. Grandma Te, with just such a few weapons and equipment, he was able to shoot down nineteen Japanese fighter planes. He could brag about this battle for the rest of his life.
Zhong Jiushan hurriedly went to Duanwu to tell him the good news. But at this time, Duanwu was looking after the injured soldier.
In order to quickly adjust the firing angle of the 37th combat anti-aircraft gun to the best, two of Sun Shiyu's artillerymen even put their feet under the anti-tank gun. Thanks to Sun Shiyu, he only fired two rounds, otherwise the feet of these two soldiers would have been disabled.
There was no time to find a medical soldier, so Duanwu took action himself. These are two good soldiers. They have been artillerymen for so many years, so they don't know the consequences of using their feet to cushion the cannon, but they still did it.
Sun Shiyu scolded them for being stupid, but made himself cry.
If he knew that two artillerymen had placed his feet under the 37th anti-tank gun, he would rather not fire this shot.
Because it is very possible that, just because of these two shots, these two young people in their early twenties will become disabled people without legs.
So when Sun Shiyu called them stupid, it was not what he really wanted to express. He just didn't know how to express his emotions.
These were the only two Sichuan brothers who were captured with Sun Shiyu. However, in order to shoot down one more Japanese fighter plane, they made one of their feet bloody and bloody.
At this time, when Zhong Jiushan and others saw this scene, they all fell silent. The joy in their hearts suddenly became very suppressed.
Because in addition to these two artillerymen, there is also a mixed company whose life or death is uncertain!
Zhong Jiushan quickly ordered: "Go and find out if there are any survivors in the first mixed company immediately! Quickly!"
"yes!"
The soldiers of the 174th Division responded and connected with the soldiers of the Independent Regiment to search for survivors together.
But it was too difficult. Many positions were blown up. The trenches they dug before were filled with floating soil. And some soldiers were beyond recognition when they were found. It was impossible to tell who they were. Many of them were even buried.
In the soil.
Some of the soldiers were digging in the soil with their hands to dig out the buried soldiers, while crying loudly. This was because many soldiers still maintained their shooting postures even after they died.
They fought until the end of their lives.
"Here, here is a living one."
While digging the soil, a soldier noticed someone moving and shouted excitedly.
He pulled the other party hard, but couldn't pull him out at all.
The buried people were covered with a large amount of soil and stones.
He tried his best to pick it off with his hands, and tried his best to pick it off.
The sharp stone cut all ten of his fingers, leaving ten bright red finger marks every time a layer of soil was removed.
But he couldn't stop at all because his comrade was still buried in the mud. His comrade was covered in blood and his life was in danger.
What's a pair of hands? Even if he exchanges one of his own arms for the life of his comrades, he won't hesitate.
People nearby came over to help. Without tools, they had to dig through the gravel and soil with their bare hands.
The gravel is very sharp. Basically, with just two or three blows, the soldiers' hands will be cut and bleed.
But at this time, no one flinched because their comrades were in the dirt.
They want to rescue him, even if each of them has blood on their hands at this time, they are still digging and digging...
"It's almost done, let's work hard together, work hard!"
One of the soldiers yelled, and everyone grabbed the dug-out arm and the back of the buried soldier's clothes, and together they pulled him out.
This person's face was covered in blood, and his clothes were stained with blood and dirt. It was difficult to see who he was. Moreover, it seemed that the person was no longer breathing.
The soldiers burst into tears because they thought he could be saved just now.
"what happened?"
Hearing the cries of the soldiers, Dragon Boat Festival strode over.
The soldiers moved away from their bodies, and Duanwu probed the opponent's carotid artery, and there was still a weak beating.
"Turn the person over."
Everyone didn't know what Duanwu was going to do when he gave the order. But Duanwu was a special mission, who dared not to obey his orders?
Duanwu put his legs on the chest of the wounded soldier, patted his back and asked him to spit out the dirt in his mouth.
Just like drowning, when a person is buried in the soil, there will be a lot of soil in his mouth. He must be spit out. If the person has lost consciousness, he needs to dig out the soil with his hands.
But obviously the wounded soldier did not lose consciousness completely. When the Dragon Boat Festival slapped his back, the vibration knocked out part of the dirt in his mouth. When he breathed fresh air, he reacted.
Duanwu warned: "Don't be anxious, spit out the dirt in your mouth first. Slowly, follow my rhythm, exhale, inhale,...exhale, inhale,..."
"Ahem!"
The wounded soldier coughed loudly after taking two breaths. He finally recovered, and the people around him breathed a long sigh of relief. But Duanwu cursed: "Leave two people to take care of the wounded, and hurry up to find the others to see if there are any survivors."
By!"
"yes!"
The soldiers were very happy and excited because in their eyes, the Dragon Boat Festival seemed to know everything and saved a dead person.
Of course, these are all the soldiers' fantasies. If they save the dead, the Dragon Boat Festival will really become a god.
At this time, Duanwu also wanted to leave, but the wounded soldier suddenly grabbed Duanwu's hand and said with a weak breath: "Special, special commissioner, special commissioner, I, have I completed the mission of my mixed company?"
Duanwu recognized the other party's voice, and it turned out to be Zhao Shitou, the commander of the mixed company.
The Mixed Company No. 1 suffered heavy casualties, but only destroyed two Japanese fighter planes. There was still one missing, and they did not complete the mission.
But Duanwu saluted Zhao Shitou and said: "You are very good, very outstanding, and you have exceeded the task. Every soldier in the mixed company will be rewarded with forty yuan. I will send this money to your division commander.
,Please do not worry."
"Thank you, thank you, commissioner."
Zhao Shitou closed his eyes tightly, and two lines of hot tears burst out from the corners of his eyes.
Although he didn't ask how his mixed company was doing, he knew that there probably weren't many people left in the mixed company.
"Send to the rear to recuperate!"
The Dragon Boat Festival ordered the soldiers to carry away the seriously injured Zhao Shitou.
"It's bad for the special commissioner, it's bad, the Japanese are coming from the Beishan position."
At this moment, Zhong Jiushan's guards came and reported to Duanwu that a large number of Japanese soldiers had been discovered in the Beishan position.
Duan Wu frowned because he had no idea why the enemy's attack would be so fast.
The air battle in the sky is not over yet. The four fighter jets are fighting back and forth. The Japanese will not attack at this time.
Because this is equivalent to one battle not over yet, but another battle has begun.
Although it was a coordinated operation by land and air, the Japanese were probably afraid that the fighter planes would injure their own people.
However, the opponent was so impatient to attack the Yushan position, which gave Duanwu an extremely bad premonition. Something must have happened, which forced the Japanese to speed up their attack.
Because just think about it, all the performances of Botian Zhongyi prove that he is a cautious Japanese, and he will not attack the Yushan position rashly.
From standing still five kilometers away from Yushan, to entering the Chongteng detachment camp to quickly build fortifications, and then waiting for the Japanese bombing, all these proved that Namada Chuichi was not an impulsive Japanese.
Then, there must be a reason for Namada Chuichi's sudden behavior.
Dragon Boat Festival couldn't think of this reason for a while, so he was scratching his head.
Of course, Duan Wu would never have imagined that the Japanese spies would penetrate so thoroughly. His combat plans and strategic deployments were all known to the enemy. And the reinforcements he expected were blocked halfway by the Japanese army. At this time, Yushan could only
They are a fighting force.
Boom!
Duanwu was guessing what happened, but at this moment, there was a huge explosion. A 150mm howitzer shell had landed on the Beishan position.
The soldiers of the 174th Division in the Beishan position were organizing personnel to dig trenches in preparation to block the invading Japanese army. However, they did not expect this artillery shell to fall down. Three soldiers who were maneuvering were blown away at once.
The Japanese army began an artillery attack in preparation for the charge.
Duanwu's mind was spinning quickly and he ordered: "Immediately order Zhong Jiushan's regiment to retreat and give up the Beishan position. Someone from the first regiment will enter the main position. Order the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment to restore the fortifications on the north side of the main position as a priority.
Ordered First Battalion Commander Sun Shiyu to cooperate with the artillery of the 174th Division to conduct a comprehensive artillery bombardment on the Japanese artillery positions to suppress the enemy's artillery firepower.
Order the 2nd Regiment of the 174th Division to quickly enter the Nanshan position to recover. Order the 3rd Regiment of the 174th Division and the 2nd and 3rd Special Companies of the Independent Regiment to serve as reserves. The 2nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment quickly recover to the south side of the main position. Quickly, let everyone
Everyone is moving."
"yes!"
More than a dozen messengers acted separately to convey the Dragon Boat Festival orders to every combat target.
Zhong Jiushan was a little reluctant to give up after receiving the order, because the Beishan position was equivalent to the north gate of the main position. Once it was lost, the enemy would have a place to stay.
However, the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce. At least a dozen large-caliber howitzers and cannons were aiming at the Beishan position for violent bombardment. In an instant, more than twenty people were killed or injured.
Therefore, Zhong Jiushan thought for a short time and felt that the commissioner's order was correct. Under the premise that the artillery fire of the 174th Division had not suppressed the Japanese army, they could only increase casualties if they continued to defend the Beishan position that had been damaged by Japanese bombings.
That’s all.
A regiment of the 174th Division was divided into three combat echelons, fighting and retreating at the same time.
The Panasonic Wing took the opportunity to capture the Beishan position.
Both sides suffered casualties, but the casualties were not very large. A regiment of the 174th Division almost withdrew from the Beishan position. The Panasonic Regiment took the opportunity to occupy the Beishan position.
But Captain Matsushita Keiji did not think so. He believed that the Chinese army was unable to resist the attack of the Imperial Japanese Army under the bombardment of imperial planes. Before the Kitayama position could stand firmly, he ordered the forward troops
Continue to attack.
The Matsushita Group had six infantry squadrons, totaling more than 1,200 people. Two of the squadrons were ordered to pursue the retreating regiment of the 174th Division.
From a distance during the Dragon Boat Festival, I saw the Japs rushing up like a fool. They didn't even know that their artillery position was being attacked by the 174th Division.
Duanwu leaned on the trench, turned his back to the Japanese and said boredly: "Put the old soup and old medicine together. When the Japanese are close, throw grenades at a distance of thirty to fifty meters, and then kill the ones who are not dead. That's it."
After the battle is over, let me see your results."
"Tuanzu, just take a look!"
The commander of the third battalion, Wei Yong, took the order and went to deliver the order with a silly smile.
At this time, there was no need for Duanwu to take action in such a small scene. He could handle it with just one battalion, not to mention that his third battalion still had six to seven hundred people, and was definitely the main battalion of the independent regiment.
Duanwu took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, only to find that only a piece of leather was left.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan came over to sit down and handed him a cigarette.
Holding the Dragon Boat Festival in his mouth, Xie Jinyuan ordered it.
Xie Jinyuan saw that Duanwu seemed to have something on his mind, and asked, "What's wrong with the group? Isn't things developing as you expected?"
"No, there may be changes."
Duanwu shook his head and said, because for some reason, the bad premonition was getting stronger and stronger.
Xie Jinyuan said in confusion: "What changes will there be? That Secretary-General Yang thinks very highly of you."
Duanwu said: "I don't know, the Japs' sudden attack is unusual. And it's almost noon now, and not a single reinforcement has arrived. Don't you think this is strange?"
"Report, phone number of the military department."
At this moment, a communications soldier came to report. Duanwu looked at Xie Jinyuan and smiled bitterly: "How is it? What did I say?"
Xie Jinyuan still said in disbelief: "This is impossible, what could happen? With your relationship with Secretary-General Yang, there should be no one who disobeys your orders, right?"
"Let's see and then talk!"
Dragon Boat Festival stood up and was about to throw away the cigarette in his hand, but he didn't want to see the veteran next to him watching helplessly.
"Take it and smoke it!"
Duanwu gave the cigarette to the veteran. The veteran grinned and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, everyone, thank you, everyone."
"Fight well and you will have enough pipes in the future."
"Yes Yes!"
The veteran responded quickly and believed what Duanwu said. When Duanwu was in the shelter, he told them that they had the warmest new military uniforms, and they got new cotton-padded jackets. Duanwu told them to use the most advanced weapons, and they gave them the brand-new Hanyang
Everything was lost.
The Dragon Boat Festival tells them that if they have enough food, they will never be hungry again. So at this time, the Dragon Boat Festival tells them that if they have enough tobacco, they will definitely have enough.
"Come on, come on, give me a puff."
The veterans on the side also came to join in the fun. Then one, two, three, four, they all came.
They were very humble, each took a small sip, blew out the smoke and laughed, but for them, happiness is so simple! ...
ps: Sorry guys, today’s update is a bit late. My uncle is back from the south and I haven’t seen him for a long time. I have to visit him, have some food, drink some wine, etc., hehe!
