In the eyes of the Lions Gate cadets, more than thirty Japanese planes quickly changed from a swarm of mosquitoes to a swarm of flies, then quickly enlarged into a swarm of sparrows, and then, they began to press darkly on their heads. come down,
"Hey..." As the first bomber began to dive, and then dropped a string of bombs, the next moment, a dozen enemy planes roared past Feng Lanshan's head, dropping hundreds of bombs.
The terrain at the top of Lions Gate Mountain is special, and it is impossible to dig air-raid shelters and trenches. The new regiment's cadets can only rely on the raised rocks or lie on relatively low-lying opponents to avoid bombs. Faced with the saturation of the Japanese army, Bombing, this defensive method had little protective effect, and the regiment suffered heavy casualties immediately. Feng Lanshan was pinned behind a large stone by two guards. He watched one brother after another being lifted up by the air waves generated by the explosion, and then Being engulfed by the fireworks, or being torn to pieces in the air, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and yelled: "What the hell, I will get back this debt one day."
The purpose of the Japanese air raids was to use intensive bombing to completely destroy the fighting will and fighting ability of the defenders at Lion Gate, so that the 33rd Division could occupy it relatively easily, and then quickly complete the transfer to the top of the mountain. The bottom of the mountain to the east is the target of Japanese bombing. Compared with the regiment on the top of the mountain, the two regiments of cadets on the mountainside (the regiment with frostbite has returned to Nanchang) have trenches and air-raid shelters to hide in, so they were under heavy bombing. The casualties were not very large, but the Japanese bombing, regardless of the cost, still caused great damage to them. More than 400 students fell in the crazy bombing of the Japanese army, and their blood dyed the Lion Gate red. This small hill has since become a burial place for loyal ministers.
Goto Nagakora was commanding his fighter planes to bombard the Lion Gate. Jutaro Amami, Kentaro Watanabe, Ken Sato, and the small Nugget City far to the north of Saigaon Village were angry when they saw it. Their noses were crooked. The reason why the first three were angry was because they complained about Goto's poor eyesight. They left the huge main force of the Xuebing Army in the west to bomb instead of bombing the already irrelevant Lion Gate. At this moment, even if they The Lion Gate will be razed to the ground, so what? There is a division of elite cadets to the west watching. Does the 33rd Division dare to march eastward? In that case, I am afraid that they will die even more under the cover of artillery fire from the cadets. Quickly, Little Nugget City felt angry, but believed that if Gotobu could send two fighter planes to conduct an air strike in Xigang Village, then they could defeat the Xigang Village student army and complete the defense of Lion Gate. The encirclement of the army,
Little Nugget City didn't know it at this time, but just to the west of the Lion Gate, the Xue Bing Army was already pressing down on the border. The main force of the division led by Gan Yan was now in a precarious situation. Although, the gunfire coming from the west of the Lion Gate The sound reached his ears, but Xiaoju, who was concentrating on defeating the student army in front of him, thought it was the 33rd Mountain Artillery Regiment bombarding the Lion Gate.
More than twenty bombers bombed Lions Gate at the same time. The area east of the top of Lions Gate was instantly shrouded in fireworks. Seeing this scene, Liu Zheliang was extremely worried and puzzled at the same time. He murmured to himself: " It’s strange, aren’t these enemy planes coming towards us?”
Mechanized troops are stronger when they are strong, but there is also a problem. Now for pure infantry, their targets are much larger, and it is difficult to conceal them.
When the Japanese aircraft cluster came fiercely from the northeast, all the students subconsciously thought that they were coming for the Second Academic Division. At this moment, many people were confused by its actions.
Suddenly, Zhang Changyi's voice came from the chat: "Master, shall we launch an attack immediately?" Zhang Changyi's idea is very simple. The enemy is powerful and the Second Xuexi Division lacks sufficient anti-aircraft weapons. So, he might as well take the initiative to attack and fight with Forget it, the Japanese army is entangled together. In that case, if the little devil throws a rat weapon, its air superiority will be curbed.
Liu Zheliang thought for a while, pressed the send button and said: "Okay." Then he said: "Everyone is here, launch an attack immediately, Zhou Tai, your tank regiment is the vanguard, pay attention, just rush towards the place where the Japs are concentrated. , Wang Changyun."
Wang Changyun, this fierce general who became famous in the middle of the Battle of Nanjing with Zhang Changsheng and Niu Yide, had been promoted from a regiment commander to the brigade commander of the 4th Xue Brigade. At this moment, he immediately responded in a rough voice. : "Yes, Master, what are your orders?"
"You lead two regiments to cover the tank regiment."
"yes."
"Strong text and pictures."
Qiang Wentu, the former commander of the 022 regiment and now the commander of the 5th Xue Brigade, responded loudly: "Here."
"Your brigade will dispatch a regiment to help Wu Xiangjing provide cover, and the rest will cooperate with the armored regiment."
"yes."
"Pay attention, we must prevent the little devils from carrying out special attack operations, and try not to let them get close to our tanks."
"yes."
"Tick, tick, tick." A loud charge horn sounded, and nearly a hundred tanks of the tank regiment commanded by Zhou Tai roared and rushed towards the hastily established position of the 33rd Division.
"The Chinese have begun to attack." A staff officer beside Gan Cang exclaimed,
"As expected, the tanks are leading the charge, Watanabe, now it's up to you." Jutaro Amanawa looked at Kentaro Watanabe and said,
The latter bowed, said "Hai", then glanced at the arrogant fighter planes in the sky, and left silently.
A brigade of the Japanese army stationed in the first trench suffered more than half of its casualties in the first wave of shelling. In view of this, when the Xuebing Army launched the general offensive, Sato Ken saw that the situation was not good and immediately jumped from the group lurking in the second trench. The Japanese mobilized a brigade to fill in.
The Second Division did not move. The huge momentum of this move immediately attracted the attention of Goto Nagakora, who was reviewing the effects of the bombing on the top of the Lion Gate Mountain.
When the little Japanese saw the densely packed tanks, armored vehicles and cadets in camouflage uniforms swarming towards the 33rd Division, he couldn't react at first and said to himself: "What's going on?"
Other Japanese pilots also saw it, and someone flew not far away from him, gesturing and asking him: What should we do?
Originally, according to the planned tactics, some of the bombers that had completed the bombing at this time were able to return. However, when this unexpected situation occurred, many fighter planes gathered around them, but they did not dare to leave rashly.
An embarrassing reality appeared in front of Goto and others. As they came to support the 33rd Division, although they successfully bombed the Lions Gate garrison and seemed to have accomplished the set combat goal, if the 33rd Division was behind them If they were wiped out by the Xuebing Army right before their eyes, what would happen to their support this time?
