On New Year's Eve, although there is a war, we still have to eat the reunion dinner, such as dumplings or glutinous rice balls, which are eaten at noon, and the main meal is in the evening, so it is also called the reunion dinner. As for the soldiers eating dumplings in the evening, this is
Forced by the situation, it was a last resort.
When the Japanese army launched an air raid, it was the time when every household was having a reunion dinner and setting off firecrackers to usher in the new year. Fuding and Fuzhou were close to the front lines and had been bombed by Japanese planes many times before. Normally, the citizens would not be too persistent.
Tradition is right, but the fact is just the opposite. The more wars are going on, the more people look forward to peace, and the more they need to hold traditional ceremonies to express their demands. Matsui Iwane and Yamada Shiji chose to launch a surprise attack at this time, which can be said to have caught the opportunity of learning.
Bingjun's sore feet will naturally have different effects. Fortunately, Xuebingjun has a radar station, and the local government is also capable and can sound the air defense alarm as soon as possible. Otherwise, Fuding at this time
And Fuzhou should have turned into a hell on earth.
First Fuding, then Fuzhou. Under the command of Yamada Shimizu, thirty-six bombers first targeted the strategic targets obtained by reconnaissance, and then bombed the towns. When they flew from Fuding to Fuzhou, their night bombing capabilities
It has been greatly strengthened, and combat technology has become more and more proficient. The first wave of fighters mainly bombed Fuding, while the destination of the second wave of fighters became Fuzhou, another thirty.
The bombers on the left and right are the only bombers left on the "Sangryu". With the experience of the first wave of feedback, the combat technology of this wave of bombers has improved. Under the command of a major named Sasaki Chitaka,
A light bomber specifically dropped flares in front to provide guidance for the main fighters behind it. This greatly enhanced the Japanese pilots' ability to distinguish ground targets and enhanced their bombing accuracy. It also became more destructive to Fuzhou.
big,
People in the coastal areas of Fujian began to dig air-raid shelters under the organization of the Xuebing Army as early as after the Xuebing Army took over. However, the air-raid shelters can only protect people and valuables, but they cannot protect their exposed homes. On New Year's Eve,
It was originally the most festive day of the year, but at this moment, seeing the homes they had worked so hard to build collapse under the gunfire, and all their belongings destroyed, people had tears in their eyes and cursed the damn invaders, but there was only sadness and anger in their hearts.
, no joy at all,
Wang Hai led a large group of Baiji dolphins into the air to attack them early. They only conducted air combat at night. Not to mention that he had never had such experience before, it was inevitable that his hands and feet were unfamiliar and he felt constrained. Even though he had received special training, he rushed into battle and his strength was not enough.
will be affected,
Of course, the battle is one-sided. Yamada defines this madman and sends out bombers. Therefore, for the pilots of the First Air Division, as long as you can distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and then as long as you aim at the enemy plane, you can do nothing.
Shoot down an enemy plane without any hindrance,
Within ten minutes of the air battle, seven Japanese planes were shot down. At this time, the enemy planes had completed their bombing and began to return.
Just as Wang Hai was about to lead his plane back to the airport, new information came from the aviation building: the second wave of Japanese fighter planes was coming again, so let's continue, "Brothers, come forward to meet them."
Thirty-seven fighter planes lined up in a long snake formation and headed towards the target according to the guidance on the ground. Within ten minutes, the airborne radar of Wang Hai's plane detected the position of the enemy planes, and he adjusted the heading of the fleet. After that, slowly pull it up and start to play the role of the commander wholeheartedly.
When fierce air battles began over Fuding and Fuzhou, the artillery fire from the heavy artillery brigade directly under the South China Front Army Headquarters began to extend to both sides of the forward position of the 10th Xuexi Division.
The defense line built by Xue Shi Division is located in Zaoxi Town, Guanmei Town and Qiaodun Town, fifteen kilometers southeast of Fuding City. They are only five or six kilometers away from Cangnan. It seems unwise to abandon Cangnan and defend the countryside, but it has its own advantages. The wonderful thing is that among the three towns, the focus of defense is Guanmei Town, which is relatively lower in altitude than the other two towns. The Tenth Learning Division was expanded from Liu Yuqing's Sichuan Army's 26th Division, and the characteristics of this division are Soldiers are particularly capable of enduring hardship. Think about it. In that time and space, the Sichuan army all wore straw sandals and rags when they left Sichuan. They were once called the beggar army. However, after the Songhu Battle and the Nanjing Battle, they won the victory of "no army can be formed without Sichuan". "I said, why? It's not just based on your performance in battle.
In order to build this line of defense, Liu Yuqing invested a lot of effort. Under his planning, the 10th Xuexi Division and the 2nd Fujian Guard Division built a total of six trenches in the area of Dalu Village, Guanmei Town, where the terrain was relatively flat and conducive to marching. Dozens of light and dark bunkers and a large number of hidden soldier caves have been built on the hills on both sides. The current target of the Japanese artillery bombardment is these bunkers and the hidden soldier caves interspersed between them.
The coastal areas in southeastern Fujian are hilly and mountainous, which is naturally an extremely favorable terrain for the defending side. It is precisely because of this strong landform that Jiang Guangnai was able to withstand the South China Front Army with only one corps and two divisions of guard troops. , but today is different from the past. The Japanese army's artillery fire is particularly intensive, and it seems that the ammunition loss is not taken into account.
The 10th Xuexi Division and the 2nd Guard Division are stationed on the front line by the 28th Xuexue Brigade and the 3rd Guard Brigade. Among them, the 28th Xuexue Brigade mainly guards Guanmei Town, while the 3rd Guard Brigade guards the bunker groups in Zaoxi Town and Qiaodun Town. ,
The defenders had complete fortifications and were quite capable of withstanding the Japanese heavy artillery bombardment. However, even if they were hiding in the anti-gun caves, they could not withstand the impact of the sound waves caused by the explosion of heavy bombs. After the Japanese heavy artillery bombardment lasted for a quarter of an hour, there were successively About five hundred cadets became wounded due to eardrum bleeding. Among them, the more serious ones had their eardrums directly ruptured and fainted.
The South China Front Army was all-out this time. A total of 6th Division, 9th Division, 5th Independent Tank Brigade, and brigades of puppet troops attacked Fuding. The size of its artillery force reached more than two brigades. Liu Yuqing had a brigade of artillery under his command. Liu Yuqing's original plan was to wait for all the Japanese artillery to show up and then attack them one after another, but now, he could no longer sit idly by and ignore them.
The artillery of the Xuebing Army on the Fuding front line, two self-propelled artillery regiments of the 10th Jixue Division and a towed heavy artillery regiment of the Second Guard Division. In order to avoid the bombing of Japanese planes, Liu Yuqing hid these three artillery regiments separately. In Yuehu Township and Guanling Town, and the positions were moved every night, the artillery commander of the 10th Learning Division was a Sichuanese named Ma Chun, while the commander of the artillery regiment of the 2nd Guard Division was a man named Li Hai's native Fujianese,
Liu Yuqing stayed at the entrance of the forward command post and used a walkie-talkie to give Ma Chun and Li Hai orders to prepare for counterattack. Then he asked them to contact Fu Xiangfu and ordered them to find and destroy the enemy artillery within five minutes and immediately
transfer,
"The little devil's aircraft carrier is parked offshore, so theoretically you only have one chance to counterattack, understand." He finally said to the two of them,
"Master, I understand." Ma Chun answered in the affirmative first, and Li Hai followed closely and said: "I promise to complete the task."
