Two planes crashed one after another. Other Japanese pilots concluded that this was definitely not an accident. It was a trap designed by the Chinese on the ground, waiting for them to take the bait. They no longer cared about the accuracy of the attack, and just fired the thousand-meter gun. I dropped all the bombs from high altitude and threw all the bombs in the air. I didn't dare to think about diving and strafing. I sent a message to the ground troops, which means that my brothers have tried their best. You can just wish yourself well, and then returned directly.
The irresponsibility of the aviation forces caused many bombs to fall on the heads of the Japs themselves. Because they were all looking up to the performance of their own fighters and waiting to launch a general attack, they did not behave like the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment. They were sleeping in air-raid shelters and suffered heavy losses as a result.
In the first round of exploratory attacks, seventy or eighty Japs fell down. Now, under the precise attack of their own planes, no less than a hundred were killed and even more injured, and the one they relied on as a barrier There were only two tanks left, and morale was extremely low for a while. Many wounded Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood, groaning and asking their companions: "What's going on? Why did our planes bomb us instead?"
There was smoke coming from the seven orifices of Zheng Sanqi by the river. While he was cursing Baldy Kimura, he asked the telegraph operator to send electricity to the headquarters. He said: Because it was accidentally bombed by the aviation force, the morale of the headquarters has suffered heavy losses. The morale is low and it is no longer able to continue. fight, ask for support,
Doihara and Tada Shun were relaxed and waiting for the news of victory, but they were shocked when they received such news. Coincidentally, the returning plane flew over Tianjin, and they found that only four of the six left were left. The latest The Type 92 was not among them, and You didn't believe that it was beaten down by the cadet division. While Doihara reported the matter to Nanjiro, he called the Kimura Aviation Brigade and sternly reprimanded them for delaying the fighter plane and fighting. If it is not done well, Bald Kimura immediately makes a review and prepares to dispatch more aircraft for bombing. Yun can conduct deep bombing of strategic targets in Renqiu.
At this time, the Kimura Aviation Brigade did not know that Kimura had met Amaterasu. The squadron leader who answered the phone kept saying "Hai" and repeatedly asked the commander of the agency to calm down and promised that when the first captain returns, he will immediately launch a second plan. attacks,
An hour later, Doihara was waiting for more planes to fly overhead. The aviation brigade called and reported on the battle that Kimura was killed and two planes were lost. Yun learned from the pilots who participated in the battle: The military division has high-precision air strike weapons. I hope your Excellency, the head of the agency, can verify this information and formulate a targeted combat plan.
Doihara was shocked. Before he could react, Nanjiro called and asked Tada Shun and him to suspend military operations and withdraw the garrison immediately.
On the phone, Doihara asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, what happened? If we ask the garrison to withdraw now, it will be equivalent to admitting the failure of this operation, which will definitely cause a heavy blow to the prestige of the imperial army."
In fact, Nanjiro had just received general news from China, and did not know the real situation. He told him: Matsui Taitairo had returned to China from Hong Kong. The adjustment of the base camp's North China policy this time was related to a pistol he had seized from Ouyang Yun.
After careful study of the pistol with infrared aiming, some firearms experts in Japan came to the conclusion that compared with the most advanced pistols of the same era, the technology of this gun was at least twenty years more advanced. From this, it was concluded that This pistol should come from the United States, which means that Ouyang Yun must have the support of the Americans. Although the Japanese have long been eyeing the rich resources in Southeast Asia and believe that only by occupying it can they truly achieve their goal of world domination, at this time , they did not dare to go to war with the United States, so they had no choice but to adjust their North China policy and adopted the views of the moderate faction. They believed that the most important thing at the moment was to digest and absorb the three northeastern provinces that had recently been occupied, and to work hard for the puppet Manchukuo to gain international recognition and the autonomy of North China. Then you can move slowly,
The Huabeitun garrison came with great force, but retreated in disgrace. At the Second Regiment position outside Daliuhe Town, the soldiers rushed out of the trenches and cheered heartily in the air-raid shelter. For a moment, hats and guns were flying all over the sky, which was even more lively than the festive atmosphere.
Ouyang Yun stood up from the mound with the help of Liu Zheliang and the others. You couldn't believe that the little Japs were defeated like this. Apart from him, these beasts would be so ruthless as to carry out a desperate attack for the so-called Bushido.
"Master, you are really amazing." Everyone who saw Ouyang Yun, whether they were soldiers or officers, had their eyes filled with red hearts. Their first words were such heartfelt compliments. Master, he went to the front line to masturbate in person. The news has long spread throughout the entire battlefield, although there is controversy as to how he actually shot down the Japs' plane (some say he used a rifle, some say he used a heavy machine gun, and some say he used throwing knives and qigong) , but one thing has become a certainty, that is, it was indeed him who personally shot down the two planes.
"Ouyang, this is incredible. How did you do it?" Back at the Second Regiment Headquarters, Li Tieshu and Ji Xingwen also arrived. As soon as they met Ji Xingwen, they raised this relatively professional and objective question.
Ouyang Yun had already dismantled the sniper rifle at this time. He raised the gun case and said, "Just rely on it." Then he explained: The little devils are sending out dive bombers this time. If they want to drop bombs, they must dive. , after the bomb is dropped, the nose of the aircraft will definitely be pulled up. At this time, there will be a short time in the air, which is suitable for aiming and shooting.
His explanation is actually general. Because it is shooting in the air and the target is a moving object, there is a problem of shooting and aiming advance. In addition, the wind speed must be taken into consideration. It can be said that he does not have considerable technology and practical experience. With a little bit of luck, even if you can have a blocking step with better performance than this, it is unlikely to complete a similar task.
Under Ouyang Yun's deliberate publicity, the news of the victory of the Xuebing Division was first published in a supplement printed by the "Renqiu Times" later that day. The news report of "Achieving another extraordinary feat, shooting down two Japanese fighter planes with a single gun" was reprinted by major domestic newspapers. The Xuebingshi and Ouyang Yun were in the limelight for a while. Under such climate conditions, the Nationalist Government quickly changed its policies. The principled policy for handling the "Renqiu Incident" first severely condemned Japan's aggressive behavior, and then commended Ouyang Yun and the Xuexi Division, promoted Ouyang Yun's military rank to lieutenant general, and awarded the veteran's photo One frame and one Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and 500,000 yuan will be awarded to the military training division.
After that, groups of patriotic and enthusiastic young people began to march to Renqiu and asked to join the student division. Since the second and third brigades of the student division were already full, Ouyang Yun felt that he should have a good talk with Zhang Zhen. ,
After getting along with each other for the past few months, Zhang Zhen has gotten to know Ouyang Yun somewhat, and the latter's performance of personally visiting the front line and shooting down Japanese fighter planes has undoubtedly gained him a lot of bonus points, which has kept the dialogue between them on a relatively friendly note. in the atmosphere,
As soon as the two of them sat down, Ouyang Yun went straight to the point and said, "Commander Zhang, it has been more than a month since you arrived at the Military Academy. How do you feel? Is it possible for an army like ours to drive the Japs out of China?"
Zhang Zhen thought for a while and said: "If we only rely on morale and the quality of soldiers, I think there is no doubt. However, the factor that determines the outcome of modern war is not only people, but also advanced weapons. With all due respect, If they cannot effectively contain the Japanese tanks, planes, artillery, and military training divisions, they may be prosperous for a while, but they will inevitably be defeated in the end. Division, this time the Japanese army only dispatched six fighters. If they dispatched twenty or even Two hundred, do you think we still have the capital to compete with them?"
Ouyang Yun nodded: "You are right. So, if the Military Police Division can have sharp weapons to fight against these, can the First Gendarmerie Regiment truly integrate into the Military Police Division from the standpoint of national justice?"
Zhang Zhen answered evasively: "Aren't we now a military training division?"
Ouyang Yun smiled: "Commander Zhang, we are all smart people. Let's not clarify some words. Let me explain my position first. In my heart, as long as it is beneficial to the Chinese nation, then I will do it. , even if it offends the interests of some special groups and puts personal careers and even lives in danger, we will not hesitate.”
Zhang Zhen thought for a while and said: "Master, I sincerely admire you for having such an idea. From a personal point of view, I hope to fight side by side with you and the Military Police Division, but the Military Police Regiment is a special group. , you should know the original intention of the National Government in establishing it."
Ouyang Yun sneered: "Are you serving someone?"
"You can say that."
Ouyang Yun felt a little disappointed and said to himself that it seems that Chiang Kai-shek has brainwashed Zhang Zhen. This is not stupid loyalty. He said: "It seems that Brigadier Zhang is very devout to his beliefs, so we have no chance to be together." We are fighting the Japanese and the Japanese, and the Military Police Regiment is the best among the national army in terms of soldier quality and combat effectiveness. It is really a pity."
Zhang Zhen said: "I actually want to fight the Japanese and kill the Japanese with the commander, but the composition of the Military Police Regiment is very complicated. Commander, let me tell you the truth. In fact, I cannot command them with full authority."
Ouyang Yun was surprised and asked: "Do you think your regiment still has an underground command system?"
Zhang Zhen nodded with a wry smile and whispered: "You should know what our chairman's background is. He is very proficient in this kind of thing."
"Then what do the soldiers think? As you know, there are many progressive young people from all over the country coming to Renqiu. They hope to join us in fighting the Japanese. However, your brigade is the only one in the division that has spare personnel. I have no choice."
"Teacher, I've already talked too much just now. I'm sorry, but there are some things I just can't do."
Ouyang Yun looked at him deeply and understood everything.
