my bright sword career

Chapter 353 2:1
"Look! The fuselage is blackened!"

"Fly back one more! God! Half of the nose is knocked off! Only one engine is running!" The ground crew watched in amazement as a transport plane that wobbled and insisted on returning slowly landed on the airport, waiting for a long time for ambulance The car immediately rushed towards the location where the transport plane landed.

"Today is the entire return flight. It seems that the damage to the transport plane is serious?" Huang Huaimin asked uncertainly. Since carrying out the transport mission, the transport plane has been attacked by Japanese planes several times, and they scrapped it in less than five days. A C-47 transport plane lost more than 20 crew members. Such a loss has never been seen since the establishment of the Taiwan Air Force.

"Although all the transport planes have returned, our squadron has lost another young man." A fighter squadron leader said sadly.

"This is war!" Huang Huaimin turned his head to look at the squadron leader with a very solemn expression, "The national army brothers in Zhongtiao Mountain die every day, and the number is hundreds of times that of ours."

The squadron leader stopped talking. He couldn't say that the life of a pilot is more valuable than that of an infantryman. If he really said that, he would be beaten.

"Repair the plane immediately, and we will continue to transport troops tomorrow." Huang Huaimin turned around with a blank face, and walked down the spiral staircase of the tower. No matter how big the loss is, the transportation will never stop.

Xi'an Airport
The airport, where there used to be two or three big cats and kittens, has almost turned into a barracks. As far as the eye can see, there are soldiers in full armor everywhere, and carts full of supplies using animal power go back and forth.

From three days ago to now, this airport has transported the troops of three regiments and dozens of tons of munitions and supplies to Zhongtiao Mountain, and those transported planes brought a wounded person and the troops who had completed the defense mission. .

Beside a runway, He Yingqin, Sun Lianzhong, Li Tiejun, Guo Jiqiao and other high-ranking generals of the war zone stood aside, looking at the seriously wounded people who were hurriedly stopped by the medical staff on the C-47 transport plane that stopped on the runway. So dignified, they didn't look at him until a colonel with a bandaged arm came up to them.

"Gentlemen, Guo Huai, commander of the 76th Regiment of the 196th Division of the 234th Army, was ordered to complete his mission and returned. Please give me instructions!"

Looking at the colonel covered in dust and with paint on his arms, Li Tiejun could hardly believe that this was his subordinate who was still in high spirits when he set off three days ago.

He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Guo Huai's hand, looked him up and down, "Old Guo, you've only been there for a few days, how did you become like this?"

Guo Huai smiled wryly: "Mr. Zuo, it's not bad to be able to come back whole. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

After that, he pointed to the wounded and soldiers who had just got off the plane behind him: "Have you seen that, compared to these brothers, the staff department is already very lucky."

Li Tiejun's expression changed, "Guo Huai, did Tang Huaiyuan send you to die on purpose? Tell me, I will vent my anger for you!"

"That's not true, military seat, don't get me wrong." Guo Huai quickly waved his hand: "Our regiment has become like this, it's all because the battle is too fierce and dull, it's none of Tang's business."

"Then tell me, how many people from your group came back?"

Guo Huai's expression was a little shy, and he said in a low voice: "When our group went, there were 2357 people, and 1274 people came back, including 675 people who were lightly or seriously injured."

"what?"

As soon as Guo Huai's words came out of his mouth, even He Yingqin and others who had been silent beside him all exclaimed in unison.

"In less than three days, nearly half of the regiment suffered casualties. How tragic was the battle?"

Seeing the expressions of He Yingqin and others, Guo Huai thought that the officers did not believe or questioned their regiment's combat effectiveness, so he quickly explained: "Sirs, this is not because the staff and others are greedy for life and fear death, but because the devil's offensive is too fierce. .

They not only launched wing-level attacks at every turn, but also mobilized aircraft and heavy artillery to attack our positions. This is the reason why our regiment suffered heavy casualties. "

Li Tiejun frowned and said, "What about the Japanese army, how about their casualties?"

Speaking of this, Guo Huai's originally somewhat dejected spirit was shocked: "Of course we suffered heavy casualties, but the devils are not much better. In the past two days alone, the corpses left by the little devils in Guojialing are no less than five or six hundred. If you add the wounded, it will be even more."

"Five or six hundred?"

When Guo Huai said this, not only He Yingqin and others were taken aback, but even Li Tiejun's expression became a little strange.

One is thousands of casualties, and the other side is only five or six hundred. At first glance, it sounds like the 234th regiment is losing a lot, but in the eyes of He Yingqin and others, it is absolutely awesome to be able to achieve such a casualty exchange ratio. up.

You must know that since the start of the war, due to China's national strength and the quality of individual soldiers, the national army has rarely won.

Even in the Taierzhuang victory, the national army killed and injured more than 5 Japanese troops at the cost of more than [-] casualties, which has been hailed as one of the biggest victories in the frontal battle since the War of Resistance.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the generals of the national army had an unwritten rule.

在与日寇作战中，能打出4：1的伤亡比例已经算是胜仗，5：1算是平手，甚至6：1也不是不能接受，所以这也是为什么何应钦等人听到郭怀民听到他们团居然打出了2：1的伤亡比例会如此吃惊的缘故。

"it is good!"

He Yingqin couldn't help but yelled, and patted Guo Huai on the shoulder: "Well done Captain Guo, I will send someone to check the situation later, if what you said is true, I will personally report to the Chairman for you. Please credit!"

The surrounding Sun Lianzhong and others also nodded repeatedly. If every battle can achieve a casualty ratio of 2:1, let alone a mere 234 regiment, even if the entire first battle zone is wiped out, it will be a big profit.

There are only so many people in Japan, and how many people are there in China, let alone two for one, even three for one or even four for one is not a loss.

"Thank you sir!"

Guo Huai quickly thanked He Yingqin, and then said a little embarrassedly: "However, the reason why our regiment can achieve such a casualty ratio is not all the credit of all the soldiers of the 234th regiment. The staff dare not be greedy for the credit."

Everyone looked at each other, revealing a look of as expected.

Li Tiejun smiled and said: "Oh... Let me just say, when did your 234th regiment become so powerful, you can compare with the devils in such casualties. Tell me, who helped you?"

Guo Huai pondered for a while, "If it was the battle at Guojialing this time, what impressed the staff the most would be the artillery support and air support of the Liantai militia.

After the staff department came to Guojialing for garrison, the Liantai militia stationed two liaison officers for our regiment. In case of danger, they could directly call for artillery support, and all the support was 155mm heavy artillery.

To be honest, without the heavy artillery support of the Liantai militia, the more than 234 horses of the 2000th regiment would not be able to withstand the Japanese army's offensive at the level of the regiment. "
