"Father, my son has failed your cultivation and let you down!"
This was the last thought that flashed through Okamura's mind before his plane was hit. At the same time, his father's serious face, dressed as a general's lieutenant, also flashed across his mind!
When he was about to die, Okamura didn't understand why the shells that had flown over could actually fly back and continue to pursue him.
At that time, missile tracking technology had not yet been developed. Naturally, Okamura did not understand how amazingly powerful this high-tech technology would be widely used in the military in later generations, so he paid the price with his own life.
"this--!"
Seeing the bomber explode into a ball of orange-red flames in the sky, Zenzaburo Hamamoto's mind suddenly went blank, and he couldn't even speak for a while.
This blow was too heavy. Unexpectedly, the result of requesting aircraft support was that two ace pilots of the Army Air Force were shot down just like that.
What's even more serious is that the pilot on one of the planes is General Okamura Neiji's only son-Okamura!
Thinking of the furious look on the face of the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Shigeru Honjo, Hamamoto Zenzaburo swallowed hard several times and swallowed the little saliva he had.
The Chief of Staff Ryutaro Obuchi on the side also stared at the huge changes in the sky with his mouth open. After a while, he uttered a sentence that made Zenzaburo Hamamoto want to vomit blood, "Yaoxi, what kind of weapon is this, so powerful?"
Looking at Ryutaro Obuchi who was suffering from the research bug again, Zenzaburo Hamamoto resisted the urge to kick him in the butt, turned around and walked away, leaving him alone to contemplate the sky!
At this time, the orange-red flames in the sky had rapidly weakened, and were replaced by a ball of fire arcing down from high altitude, and plunged into Hanoi behind Lijianao Village.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and a water column several stories high rose into the sky, like a sudden tornado, rushing straight into the sky, and after reaching its peak, it fell back into Hanoi.
On the stone bridge, the captain of the third detachment of the second squadron of the Dragon Wings, who was responsible for defending the third line of defense, wiped the river water splashing on his face and chuckled, "It's so fun, it's so fucking fun!"
The death of the two bombers weakened the Japanese offensive, because the Japanese commander wanted to reorganize the team and eliminate as much as possible the negative impact caused by the destruction of the aircraft!
In the hearts of many Japanese soldiers, the power of aircraft has long been engraved in their hearts. They even have a blind trust in aircraft, artillery units, and armored units, believing that they are the decisive factor in determining the success or failure of a battle.
Therefore, every time they see their aircraft hovering over the enemy's positions, then proudly dropping bombs, and then diving and strafing, they are filled with confidence that they will win.
But today, the two bombers didn't even have time to drop a single bomb, and were turned into fireworks by two small and inconspicuous things. The contrast was so powerful that the morale of the 16th Wing suddenly plummeted, and the intensity of the attack weakened.
Quite a few!
Seeing that the morale of his troops had been significantly affected, Hamamoto Zenzaburo hurriedly ordered to suspend the attack, adjust the troops first, and then launch the attack after the condition recovered!
In this way, Lei Jiandong and the others on the Lijianao battlefield can finally take a breather!
Throwing away the machine gun whose barrel had been replaced several times, Lei Jiandong sat down in the fortification, breathing heavily and looking exhausted!
Fighting, even if the two sides do not engage in hand-to-hand combat, is still very energy-consuming. The long-term tense state of mental tension will make people feel very tired after they relax!
After taking a breath and relaxing his nerves, Lei Jiandong stood up and staggered along the trench towards other positions, inspecting the damage to the positions as he walked!
The Japanese artillery fire has always been very fierce. Even if the soldiers brought their weapons into the shelters dug in advance, they still suffered a lot of losses in the battle. So far, only the machine guns that can continue to fire are left.
2 Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns and 12 Czech light machine guns. As for the 1995 improved general-purpose machine gun, that is Lei Xiangdong’s treasure. He will not use it unless it is extremely urgent!
The casualties in terms of personnel have also obviously increased a lot compared to the beginning. The first detachment of the second squadron guarding the first position has already suffered more than thirty casualties, and the rest have also suffered losses to some extent!
War is always so cruel, and there are bound to be sacrifices!
However, their results were also brilliant, because in more than two hours, they repelled a total of 21 Japanese attacks, killed and wounded no less than 300 Japanese people, severely damaged the Japanese artillery positions, and shot down
Two planes!
If such a record were shown to the Northeastern Army and the government in Nanjing, they would probably be stunned and speechless for a long time!
A team of only 400 people was actually able to resist the thousands of Japanese troops supported by cavalry, armor, artillery and aircraft, and was able to kill and wound more than 300 enemies at a relatively small cost. It was indeed a very powerful fight.
Excellent!
Of course, such results were very dissatisfying to Lei Jiandong. He felt that if the soldiers were all equipped with 95-type improved weapons, the enemy would probably suffer much more!
After all, the ferocious firepower of modern weapons and various complete supporting equipment were absolutely terrifying in that era!
Although Lei Jiandong is not satisfied with the battle, the resources he has now only allow him to imagine the scene of hundreds of automatic weapons shooting at the same time, which is currently impossible!
Along the way, Lei Jiandong urged the soldiers to seize the time to repair the fortifications and prepare for the upcoming Japanese attack.
The soldiers were busy, dragging their tired bodies to repair and renovate the collapsed bunkers, and dig the trenches flattened by the shells, because these things were important conditions that gave them a better chance of survival, and the price of carelessness was often
It's your own life.
No one wants to die, even people who are not afraid of death don’t want to die!
In this way, the 2nd Squadron of the Dragon Wings and the 16th Japanese Regiment had a tacit understanding and did not exchange fire. Instead, they each reorganized their positions and troops, striving to restore them to the greatest possible combat effectiveness!
Of course, in the near future, a battle will begin again on a larger scale and with more brutal conditions than before. By then, more lives will have been lost in this battlefield filled with shrapnel and gunpowder smoke!
