The Japanese army participating in the bombing this time was a relatively old-fashioned double-winged aircraft. Perhaps they were bullying the defenders of Jiangyin Fortress because they did not have an air force. Therefore, this old-fashioned fighter plane that should have been put into the exhibition hall was also taken out by the Japanese.
Although the four divisions dispatched by the Xuebing Army this time have some reservations in terms of equipment level, compared with the elites of the national army at the same time, their characteristics are still obvious. For example, even the weapons divisions in Germany are currently not well equipped. Many high-power searchlights,
Wang Yifu was quite disdainful at first when Ouyang Yun started gesticulating and giving orders as soon as he took over the defense of the fortress, thinking that it was a standard face of a nouveau riche. However, after the victory in the air defense battle that night, he realized that it turned out that This young general was not without purpose. He carried out the purge campaign in the defense area with such great fanfare. It turned out that he was just for this night.
Although the anti-traitor team organized by the Xuebing Army and the Jiangyin County Government worked very vigorously, it seemed to have little effect, because just a quarter of an hour before the Japanese planes were about to attack the fortress, the main ship of the former National Army Navy was berthed. On the beach at the location, two bonfires suddenly lit up.
At the critical moment, the air defense mobilization order had been issued, and a target guide appeared at such a critical place. Standing at the lookout in front of the Huangshan Fort, Wang Yifu could not help but look at Ouyang Yun next to him and thought to himself. : It seems that the Xuebing Army’s campaign to eradicate traitors is nothing more than loud thunder and small rain. Look, it’s not the traitors and spies who succeeded.
Ouyang Yun had no intention of observing other people's faces at the moment. He just held a telephone and calmly called the air defense units one by one to cheer up the commanders and fighters of the frontline cadet army.
The timing of the appearance of the two bonfires was such a coincidence, and the targets were so precise. If the main force of the fleet had stayed where they were, then, using the cover of night, the Japanese bomber group would have been able to attack the enemy without me alone. will be subject to any threat,
"Ouyang Yun's command level is mediocre. Is it because he is young? At this time, it is time to call the fleet. It is always good to make them prepared. He kept encouraging his men. , do you still expect that the 'blind cat will catch the dead mouse'." Wang Yifu thought so and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Of course, he was not doing it for Ouyang Yun, but for the current war situation: Although Japan is a small country, After all, it has been more than two hundred years since the army was reorganized and suppressed, and there has been enough time to accumulate. The current combat power is no longer comparable to that of China. This is obviously a defensive war. China is on the side of justice, but its skills are inferior to others, but it is only Being able to be beaten passively...
Just when Wang Yifu was thinking wildly, the sound of fighter jet engines already rang in his ears. A few minutes later, as the first explosion sounded on the river, explosions came one after another. In the light of the fire, waves splashed, making the entire river surface In an instant, it became as bright as day. This was the first round of exploratory bombing by the Japanese planes. In this wave of attacks, the Japanese army dropped a total of thirty bombs, but the effect was very little. Wang came to his senses. Kazuo was surprised to find that at some point, the fleet that was originally staying in the bombed area disappeared.
"What's going on?" Speaking of which, he had been paying attention to the river. After dinner, he saw the fleet parked there, but now it was nowhere to be seen. He turned to look at Ouyang Yun, but he didn't see it clearly. Ouyang Yun's expression, he was immediately stung by the sudden light coming on next to him and closed his eyes.
A total of forty or fifty beams of light were thrown into the sky from three directions. The Japanese planes that had only heard the sound but not seen them appeared one after another. At this time, the Japanese bomber group had already discovered that what they had just bombed was an empty field. On the river surface, all the fleets that were parked there during the day disappeared, "Ba Ge, we have been fooled." The clever Japanese pilot immediately felt something was wrong, and the commander directly ordered: "Return, return."
The fleet began to move higher, trying to leave the area. However, more than a minute had passed since they were caught by the anti-aircraft searchlights. Such a long time was enough for the air defense soldiers of the Xuebing Army to remove the sight covers on the anti-aircraft weapons. Live them,
"Kong Kong..." the sound could be heard endlessly, "Boom." A brilliant spark suddenly exploded in the sky. An enemy plane was hit by an anti-aircraft gun and immediately exploded into pieces.
"Good fight." Wang Yifu and several officers and soldiers of the teaching group couldn't help shouting. Then, he turned to look at Ouyang Yun, and suddenly felt very ashamed. In terms of age, this man was ten years younger than him. However, his performance today was much more mature than his own. No wonder he acted like he had a plan in mind. It turned out that he had already planned it. Wang Yifu thought this and had forgotten that just now, he When evaluating Ouyang Yun, he used the comment that he was too young.
The Xuebing Army's first anti-aircraft battle at Jiangyin Fortress lasted only about a quarter of an hour. The Japanese bombers were beaten out of hand. They did not even consider that they had to deal with the anti-aircraft firepower and dropped four fighter planes. After that, he returned home in despair,
When the sky returned to the darkness before the battle, Ouyang Yun listened to his subordinates' report on the relevant situation, then sat down and began to measure and draw on the Jiang Defense Map. Wang Yifu stood next to him and watched him skillfully work on the map. , the admiration in his heart became even stronger. When he saw Liu Zheliang coming over with a bowl of noodle soup, he took it personally, put it on Ouyang Yun's left hand side, and said: "General, your dinner." Because he was busy with war affairs, Ouyang Yun had not even thought about it until now. He didn't eat, "Okay, leave it alone." He replied casually, lowered his head, and drew with a blue pen the straight line he had just drawn.
Wang Yifu stood aside and watched carefully, and suddenly said: "General, you are setting up a shore defense line against the Japanese fleet."
"Yes." Ouyang Yun raised his head and realized it was him. He was a little surprised: "Captain Wang, why haven't you gone to rest yet? There will be no more fighting tonight."
Regarding tonight's battle situation, Wang Yifu also made the same judgment. However, perhaps out of comparison, he said: "You are so sure."
Ouyang Yun put down his pen, picked up his chopsticks and picked up the bowl, and said: "Of course, today's battle was a successful ambush for the Japanese army. They will definitely conduct a review when they go back tonight, and then they will come up with a plan to target us. According to the combat plan of the air defense force, tomorrow, the focus of the battle will not be on the river, but on our air defense positions. If the Japanese army cannot suppress the air defense firepower of our army on land, their bombing against the fleet will be extremely limited."
"Commander, I remembered talking about the fleet. I saw them still there after dinner, but they were gone in the blink of an eye."
"In the blink of an eye, it took us an hour to successfully carry out the displacement." A deep voice sounded at the door of the fort, and Chen Shaokuan, Minister of the Navy of the National Army, walked in,
"Minister Chen." Wang Yifu quickly saluted. Ouyang Yun also put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up, saying, "Why are you here?"
Chen Shaokuan was holding two bottles of wine in his right hand. He smiled and said: "You saved our fleet, of course I have to come to thank you. Have you not eaten yet? By coincidence, I brought two bottles of old wine, even if it is My thanks."
"You're welcome." Ouyang Yun said, calling Liu Zheliang and asking him to prepare two dishes, and then asked him to call Li Hanhun over.
Chen Shaokuan sat down, glanced at the Jiang defense map on the table, looked at Ouyang Yun and asked, "Why, I'm starting to worry about tomorrow's war."
Ouyang Yun put away the map and said with a smile: "It's okay to put it aside. Although the scale of tonight's battle is not large, it has exposed the strength of our army. With the temper of the Japanese, they will definitely come back tomorrow to regain the ground." Yes, tomorrow will be a difficult day. Did you see the air defense battle just now? Do you have any comments?"
When it came to the topic, Chen Shaokuan's face became much more serious. He said: "The performance of your army is very good. I happened to be at the Linjiang Protective Forest at the time. I was fortunate to see the performance of the first unit of your army and the tactical literacy of the officers and soldiers." Very good, Commander Ouyang, I have to admit that your army is really good at inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese army in North China. If our army can possess your army's equipment and reach your army's tactical level, I think the Japanese People's remarks that China will be destroyed in three months will become a joke."
"The minister praised our army too much." Ouyang Yun smiled: "We just got lucky and ambush the Japanese. Starting tomorrow, this battle will not be so easy. After all, our waterways are completely blocked. , we can only defend passively. If the Japanese army attacks by both sea and air, our Xuebing Army's small strength in the fortress will not be able to withstand the torment."
Compared with the Japanese army, there is a huge disparity in strength between the Chinese navy and the Japanese army. Ouyang Yun's pertinent words hit the weakest point in Chen Shaokuan's heart. He frowned and his expression became unnatural.
Wang Yifu saw it from the side and interjected: "This is all because our country has been weak for too long. Minister Chen, don't get too angry. I think that as the front develops in depth, the Japanese army will lose equipment due to the dispersion of its troops." advantage.”
Regarding this battle centered on Nanjing, although no one has said it clearly, everyone in the know knows that it is only a matter of time before Nanjing and even Jiangsu and Zhejiang fall, and the reason why we still have to concentrate our forces to resist is to delay the Japanese attack. Let various places in the interior and rear take more time to prepare for war.
"After all, we won a game today, let's not talk about this disappointing topic, drinking." At this time, an orderly just brought some dishes to the table. Chen Shaokuan opened the bottle and said at the same time,
Ouyang Yun glanced at them and said meaningfully: "No matter what the current situation is, I always believe that victory will belong to us sooner or later. The key now is whether our entire nation has the courage to fight, even if we fight to the last man. I won't back down. I don't believe it. With China's population of 40 million, I can't defeat Japan, which has a population of only 70 million. Okay, let's drink and drink. Lao Li, Minister Chen brought two bottles. Come here with the good wine, and having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone, so I asked Zheliang to invite you here..."
