Chapter seven hundred and eighty fourth aerial strangulation battle
After burying all the dead compatriots in Hailar, Yang Zhen led all the officers and soldiers in Hailar to stand neatly in front of the cemetery. Looking at the large cemetery in front of him where the innocent compatriots who died tragically under the knife of the Japanese army were buried, he said to him with a serious expression.
A standard military salute was given at the cemetery.
Behind him, all the participating officers and soldiers raised their guns and fired three shots into the sky according to Wang Guangyu's order. They said their final farewell to all the villagers who died. Although everyone did not shout any slogans, they
The expressions on their faces were faintly murderous.
Here, Yang Zhen is leading all the troops who have rushed to the front line of Hailar to bury the fallen compatriots. Over there, he is leading the main force of the 23rd Division and the Japanese who have settled in Hailar. They are hurriedly heading towards the Wangye Temple and the Japanese troops retreating from the Tao'an front line.
The commander of the 23rd Division, Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji, was currently in a woods 35 kilometers north of Aershan, facing the division chief of staff, Gore Kawago, and Senior Adjutant Tachibana.
Lieutenant Colonel Keiichi cursed loudly.
After receiving Yang Zhen's order to carry out an aerial strangulation war against the 23rd Division retreating south at all costs, the Anti-Japanese Alliance aviation force was almost all elite. All the aviation brigades that had formed combat effectiveness had just returned from Jiangbei to study and flew in person.
Under the personal command of Aviation Commander Fang Ziyi, who was in charge of Qiqihar, they took turns taking off for combat operations.
All kinds of bombs in the arsenal, except for the top-secret No. 1 special bomb, which was not used, including the special No. 3 bomb that had just left the factory and the air-to-ground rocket modified based on the 107 rocket, were all taken out.
.One is to inflict maximum damage to the Japanese army, and the other is to test the actual combat effectiveness of these two new bombs.
The overwhelming deployment of the Anti-Alliance aviation force was undoubtedly painful for the 23rd Division's retreat. These new bombs, coupled with almost round-the-clock air strikes, made the 23rd Division's retreat more complicated.
It became a nightmare journey to hell. For the 23rd Division, this aerial strangulation battle was well-deserved.
At this time, Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji, whose military uniform was stained with mud, still had the samurai demeanor that he said an army lieutenant general should have. He had just been carried here by guards from a road that was being bombed and strafed by enemy planes.
Kanji Nishihara, who was hiding in hiding, was in an extreme state of embarrassment at this time. Facing the troops who suffered heavy casualties from another bombing by enemy planes, Kanji Nishihara was extremely angry towards his two subordinates.
If the two bastards hadn't indulged the division's two daring combat advisers and issued the order to massacre the city of Hylar in their own names, why would the 23rd Division have retreated so passively? It seems that since the second day after leaving Hylar, almost
Every day, he visited the planes above his head in large numbers, and the troops suffered heavy casualties under the air raids of these planes. Nishihara Kanji had the intention to kill these two bastards.
These relentless planes, with intervals of less than half an hour, dropped a wide variety of bombs every time, as well as those extremely powerful incendiary bombs, as well as a hail of bullets, killing dozens, or even nearly
The anti-alliance aircraft that cost the lives of hundreds of officers and soldiers of the 23rd Division turned the retreat of the 23rd Division into a true disaster.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance planes, he no longer wanted to ride in his high-end car. Lieutenant General Kanji Nishihara was not that stupid. He even took a small car when the enemy planes chased his butt and bombed him.
The car was such an obvious target. It was abandoned not long after it left Hyrule.
Not only the car of his distinguished division commander, but also most of the artillery, tanks, and cars in the 23rd Division were either lost or lost along the way.
The plane was blown up. Even the expatriates and the wounded were thrown away along the way. Almost all the old, weak, women and children among the expatriates were lost.
A tank regiment attached to the 23rd Division, except for those on the Yakeshi front line, only brought out thirteen of the latest Type 97 tanks that were originally used to provide rear cover when necessary.
Except for three vehicles that were abandoned due to malfunctions and fuel problems, the rest were all destroyed in air raids.
And those wounded in the air raids were completely lost. Whether they were officers or soldiers, as long as they were injured during the retreat, if the injury affected the march, the only result would be to send a grenade or use his
The comrades fired another shot because no one believed that these seriously injured people would be evacuated safely in such a severe situation.
As for the corpses of a large number of horses and people killed by planes on both sides of the road from Manzhouli to Wangye Temple, no one would stop to bury them. Or, in accordance with the tradition of the Japanese army, they would cremate the corpses and take them away. For
For all the officers and soldiers of the 23rd Division, the most urgent thing in their hearts is to leave this retreat road that has become a hell as soon as possible and escape from this nightmare.
After each air raid, no one dared to stay to bury or cremate the bodies. Because the next wave of air raids might come within half an hour or within fifteen minutes. The density of anti-alliance air raids was so high
, the time interval was not even enough for them to dig a hole and bury the fallen.
Moreover, for the retreating Japanese 23rd Division, it is difficult for them to find a place where they can safely bury or cremate their dead officers and soldiers on both sides of the retreat route that is now covered with mines. Unless they are willing to take risks
, putting his own life in it.
While the aviation forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were conducting uninterrupted air attacks on the troops of the 23rd Division retreating south, they also used transport aircraft, under the cover of fighter jets, to airdrop a large number of various mines on the southward retreat route of the 23rd Division. The airdrops were
The large number and rich types of landmines almost overwhelmed the 23rd Division, which was a little nervous with the variety of bombs thrown by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and even reached the point where the entire army was under attack.
The highway is the main target of enemy air strikes. If you hide here and don't move, you can only stare and wait to be bombed or be burned on the spot by an extremely painful incendiary bomb. But if you go to both sides of the highway
He tried to dodge, but he couldn't avoid the landmines dropped by planes.
A considerable number of officers and soldiers were not killed or injured in the air strikes, but were killed or injured on these mines when they lay down to avoid the air strikes. Compared with the casualties caused by some air strikes, these mines brought greater harm to the officers and soldiers of the 23rd Division.
Painful. Because in this kind of action, which was close to a semi-defeat in the end, being injured meant the end of life.
Compared with being hit by a bomb or being cremated on the spot by an incendiary bomb, most of these landmines can only break a person's legs or jump up and explode on a person's waist. Most of the officers and soldiers who will be injured or killed by this will be more in the short term.
They suffered even greater pain. The tragic situation of other people around them being killed and injured by these weird landmines made many officers and soldiers rather stand on the road and be bombed than leave the road to find cover.
Among the weapons thrown by the Anti-Japanese Alliance on this road to kill the Japanese army, in addition to the horrifying new type of incendiary bombs that could not be extinguished even with soil, and the landmines that made the Japanese officers and soldiers miserable, the Anti-Japanese Alliance also
Two new types of explosive bombs were also used, which the Japanese army had never seen before.
A large number of small bombs of several kilograms are bundled into ammunition boxes hanging on both sides of the aircraft's wings, and the aircraft's dive inertia is used to eject these small bombs. Or the ammunition boxes are dropped directly from the sky and explode on their own at a certain height.
A large number of small bombs were scattered inside.
Although the individual lethality of this kind of spherical bomb is not as good as that of large-tonnage bombs, for marching columns, due to the wide distribution of the terrifying bullet rain it creates, the lethality is higher than that of large bombs. It is often more lethal than large bombs.
After the plane passed, bodies were strewn on the ground.
Moreover, many of these bombs often explode with a delay, and it seems that there is no problem. But when the troops begin to pass, they don’t know when the explosion will occur. People hit by such bombs may not die on the spot, but
But like landmines, they can directly make you spend the rest of your life in pain.
There is also a kind of flying bomb that spits fire from the back of its tail and can be launched directly from under the wing. Its accuracy and lethality far exceed that of ordinary small bombs. It can be used for marching troops, especially convoys.
It's super scary to describe it. And this kind of bomb with fire coming from the back can even be mounted on a fighter jet.
This kind of flying bomb that spits fire from behind is even more of a nightmare for the anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine gun positions used to cover the marching columns. Originally facing the opponent's air attack, the 25mm anti-aircraft gun and
The 13mm anti-aircraft machine guns, coupled with the temporary organization of a large number of Type 92 heavy machine guns for anti-aircraft fire, the 23rd Division anti-aircraft artillery unit tried to use these weapons on hand that the Japanese army had always been proud of.
Stop these nasty planes from attacking the 23rd Division.
But he didn't expect that in just two days, he would be defeated by the opponent's various air raids. After three days of air raids, the 23rd Division's anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, which were originally equipped with a small number, were
Almost no one was spared in the anti-air combat. Most of the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were destroyed in the anti-air combat.
Especially those bombs that can spit fire from the back and fly by themselves. Almost 70% of the air defense troops of the 23rd Division were lost to these bombs. Even on the third day, facing the opponent's air attack, only the remaining
Several anti-aircraft machine guns and an anti-aircraft gun did not dare to fire at all. They were afraid that if they opened fire, they would suffer a more serious and overwhelming blow from the opponent.
Lieutenant General Kanji Nishihara, who was tortured by the endless air raids and the various tricks used by his opponents in the air raids, could now be said to hate the two staff officers who single-handedly created the massacre of Hyrule City. Because he had reason to believe that what was happening in front of him was
All of this is the Resistance Alliance's revenge at all costs for the 23rd Division's massacre of the city in Hyrule.
Regarding the massacre that occurred in Hailar, although he did not think that the death of tens of thousands of Manchus was a big deal, or that the killing of tens of thousands of Manchus was a big deal. But for Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji, he was aware of this incident.
It's not a good thing for you, it's even a pretty stupid thing.
