Chapter 5 The war started, and the military division became an army (22)
Among the targets set by Lin Bing, only four of the eleven Kawasaki Type 92s escaped into the sky. One of them was the one that fled in panic with black smoke trailing from its wings. His luck should be considered good, because the fighter plane was injured, so It is a bit difficult to retreat back openly, but the remaining nine fighters are leaderless and have nowhere to go.
After the seven enemy planes were exploded or shot down, the next moment, the bombs dropped by the enemy planes also fell on the air defense regiment's position. Almost all the enemy planes participating in the bombing were affected by the air defense fire below, and their bombing movements and postures or More or less, they were affected. In this case, the bombs were dropped very poorly. The most common situation was that several bombs that were supposed to fall in line ended up crowded into a nest. In this way, Although the impact area is smaller, the consequences of the explosion are much more serious.
After the air defense regiment beat up the enemy planes, they finally had to face the enemy's revenge. Among the soldiers of this group of air defense regiments, at least half were recruits. Although they had all undergone rigorous military skills training , and also received psychological counseling from the academic officer of the teaching brigade who specializes in psychological counseling. He knew what kind of mentality he should maintain in this situation and what tactical actions he should take to protect himself. However, when the black bomb fell from the sky , it seemed to hit them directly on the head, and many people were stunned.
Some soldiers began to shoot at the bombs like they were masturbating, while others simply relied on instinct to lie on the ground and hold their heads with their hands...
"I am a leopard. We are all here. Stop shooting and find a hiding place to evade." Lin Bing shouted loudly through the microphone, ignoring the bombs floating in the sky.
"Boom." As the first bomb exploded on the air defense regiment's position, explosions rang out one after another. Amidst the explosions, there were screams one after another. From time to time, stumps were lifted up by the air waves, carrying them with them. The bloody storm fell on others,
When we violently strafed the enemy planes just now, we didn't realize it when the enemy planes disintegrated in the air. Now, many soldiers witnessed the tragic scene of their comrades' sacrifice. Many of them lay on the ground and couldn't help vomiting, and some of them couldn't help but vomit. Then he stared at the enemy planes with blood-red eyes and fired fiercely at them, regardless of whether the enemy planes were within range or not.
Wang Xiaoliu was pinned to the ground by Lin Bing. Due to nervousness, he forgot some of the bullet avoidance skills taught in the tactics class. He closed his mouth tightly instead of opening it. As a result, his eardrums were painfully shaken by the explosion. , I feel like I am about to burst, my head also becomes dizzy,
"The disadvantage between ground and air is too obvious." Lin Bing was probably the most sober person in the air defense group at this time. Since there was no explosion point nearby, he lay half on the ground while observing the nine enemy aircraft remaining in the air. While observing the movement of the aircraft, he paid attention to the damage to various design points. The enemy aircraft actually had no obvious target to base their bombs on, but even so, when they accidentally dropped bombs and collided with them, as far as he could see, there were already at least 10 bombs. Seven firepower points were uprooted, including two twin-barreled anti-aircraft guns and the others were anti-aircraft machine guns. The anti-aircraft guns were in groups of five and the anti-aircraft machine guns were in groups of three. (This number configuration was also adjusted after research by the staff. , and before that, an anti-aircraft machine gun was operated by six people), and the number of casualties in the air defense regiment was at least 25 people...
If they hadn't been ambushing here a long time ago, and the enemy hadn't noticed and was caught off guard, and the two sides had set up a head-on battle, Lin Bing wouldn't have dared to think about it.
After the remaining nine fighter planes of the Little Devils hovered over the air defense regiment for a few minutes, they seemed to suddenly wake up and did not get too entangled with the air defense regiment. Instead, they changed direction and flew directly towards the artillery position of the 38th Division. At that time, Doihara had already learned about the situation of the Air Force through the front-line observation post in the headquarters. The old Japanese was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died. Only then did he think of his old rival Ouyang Yun and the military training division, and then instinctively After waking up, with the intervention of the military training division, the air force with only twenty-four fighters was really in trouble. He did not dare to let the remaining fighters waste precious ammunition on the air defense troops. Doing so would have no effect on the war situation. Benefit, if the artillery unit of the 38th Division is not destroyed, the next tank tactics will be threatened by the artillery. From the previous round of shelling by the 38th Division, he has learned that the opponent has heavy artillery, and the heavy artillery will be "unexpected" The nightmare of the "Lo" tank, so, with his teeth knocked out and his blood swallowed, he suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered the remaining nine fighter planes to immediately bomb the artillery positions of the 38th Division, making sure to destroy as many enemy artillery pieces as possible.
As soon as the enemy planes took off, the soldiers of the air defense regiment could only look at nothing and sigh. Under the command of Lin Bing, the soldiers who had regained consciousness were busy rescuing the wounded and began to retreat.
In the combat plan formulated by the 38th Division Staff Headquarters, since it is unknown how many enemy air forces there are, the air defense regiment will withdraw to a safe area for reorganization after covering the retreat of the artillery, and then determine the next action based on the battlefield situation.
The air defense regiment is not only Ouyang Yun's heart and soul, but also the key to this battle. Without them, it will be impossible to contain the enemy's air force. Once the artillery unit of the 38th Division is destroyed by the enemy's air force, this battle will be quite serious. Yu lost half,
The nine little devil fighter planes flew over the designated position with some trepidation. They didn't know whether they were afraid of being beaten or they trusted their superiors' orders too much. They didn't know whether there were cannons below, so they directly fired all the cannons at a higher altitude. The bombs were dropped, and then they hurriedly pulled the plane up to an airport in the south of Rehe.
As early as when the air defense regiment launched a fierce attack on the enemy aircraft, the mixed artillery units of the 38th Division and the Academy Division had already withdrawn to the designated concealed position. In this way, the bombs dropped by the nine Kawasaki Type 92s achieved nothing more than a victory for Tianjin. The common people scattered tons of scrap iron and copper in vain. They may have killed many small animals and even insects, but not even a hair of their real enemy was left behind.
"Division Commander, what should we do now?" In the aviation force led by Kohashi Kohashi, the fighter planes of the two squadrons failed to destroy a single cannon of the other side, but their own side actually damaged 15 fighter planes, and even the ace pilot Kohashi Kohashi died. Lan Tian, such a result is unacceptable to Doihara and Nakano. It seems that the Japanese Empire has never suffered such a loss since the Meiji Restoration. If such results are spread back to the country, let alone Doihara and Nakano, it will be Nan Jiro couldn't pass the test of the cabinet and the military. Remembering that many people in the country were opposed to an all-out war with China at this time, and even more opposed to the use of troops in North China at this time, Doihara, the instigator, couldn't help sweating on his face, and the fat on his abdomen jumped. I jumped, as if I had already felt the cold and severe pain when Ribasa committed seppuku.
"Eight grids, eight grids,..." Doihara's face was livid, his eyes stared into goldfish eyes, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and there was a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart.
Originally, according to the original combat plan, it was time to launch a ground attack at this time. However, that was when the air force had an absolute advantage and the heavy firepower unit of the 38th Division was completely destroyed. Now, the enemy's artillery unit is unscathed. However, the artillery unit of a brigade on the other side has been wiped out. No matter how arrogant Doihara is, no matter how confident he is in the combat power of the Japanese army, he clearly knows that launching a ground attack at this time will undoubtedly send the sheep into the tiger's mouth...
Nakano was also very anxious at this time. Without him, according to the Japanese military regulations, if the Tianjin battle failed, Doihara would certainly not be able to escape the fate of seppuku. As an important member of the 108th Division second only to Doihara, he would probably There were also many cases of seppuku. His idea was that it was better to die on the battlefield than to commit seppuku, which was a shameful act. Therefore, when he saw that Doihara could not make a decision for a long time, he loudly suggested: "Your Excellency, the division commander, the war has developed to this point, we have already He is a sinner of the empire. In this case, it is better to fight to the death with this guilty body. Even if he fails, I think it can remind the politicians in the country and leave a lesson of failure to our descendants..."
Doihara turned around and stared at him for a long time, and said sadly: "That's the only way." Then, as if he was having a flashback, he cheered up and said loudly: "Nakano-kun, if that's the case, then let's fight to the death together. That's it. Even if I die, I will teach those humble Chinese people a painful lesson and let them know that the will of our Yamato nation is invincible."
"Hai."
In the southern suburbs of Tianjin, where the former Second Division was stationed, and in the newly established headquarters of the 38th Division, telegraphs, telephone rings, and shouts could be heard one after another. In front of a huge military map of Pingjin, Zhang Zizhong, Ouyang Yun, Li Tieshu, and Zhang Zhen He was watching a staff officer named Wang Zilin from the Military Academy doing the homework on the map.
Wang Zilin is a young overseas Chinese poached from the United States by Gu Lianyun. He is one of the few overseas Chinese in the United States who is a military talent educated at West Point Military Academy.
Ouyang and others had just arrived from Renqiu, and the purpose of their trip was not to help Zhang Zizhong, but to discuss with Zhang Zizhong to take advantage of the victory in Tianjin to take over the Yidong and Chadong demilitarized zones. return,
With the destruction of the Japanese air force and artillery, if the Kwantung Army did not send more troops, there would be no suspense about the outcome of this battle. Ouyang Yun's idea was that since he had already lost his face with the Japanese, he might as well just Absolutely, since the other side can attack the 38th Division under the banner of fighting for the legitimate rights and interests of the expatriates, then they can also attack the demilitarized zone under the banner of making decisions for the citizens of the DMZ. As for those bullshit agreements signed by China and Japan , they are now local warlords and can completely turn a deaf ear to them.
Ouyang Yun's proposal is very bold, and at the same time, it is tempting enough. Once it can be achieved, Tianjin will have an extra barrier. So, how can Zhang Zizhong not be tempted? Of course, whether all this can be achieved depends on the wishes of the Japanese. What they are thinking now is exactly how to force the Japanese to submit.
