Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 574 Defending Nanjing ([-])

At noon, over the Jiangyin Fortress, sixteen Japanese planes roared in two formations from the direction of Changshu.Standing on the Huangshan Fort, Ouyang Yun looked at the model of the Japanese aircraft carefully through the binoculars, and his face became a little ugly.

Among the sixteen fighters, twelve were brand new models.This type of fighter is not only significantly larger than the old model next to it, but also has two cannons under the nose.

The reason why Ouyang Yun had to observe so carefully was because he had to make a judgment based on the actual situation such as the size of the Japanese aircraft—how much anti-aircraft firepower would be "sacrificed" on this day.

After figuring out the strength of the Japanese aircraft, he began to worry that today's offensive and defensive battle may deviate from his preset track-it is not a question of how much anti-aircraft firepower he wants to "sacrifice", but whether he can It was able to preserve its strength as expected while repelling the Japanese attack.

The battle plan of the Japanese aircraft was obviously well planned, and the formation in front rushed directly to the fleet, and in the process, the anti-aircraft artillery fired.The thirteen air defense positions opened fire almost at the same time, and the formation of Japanese planes was immediately dispersed. Of course, this may have been deliberately scattered, because, obviously, their target was not the fleet, but the air defense position.The Japanese planes in the first formation quickly pulled up and turned back. Immediately afterwards, the eight fighter planes in the second formation quickly divided into four formations and swooped down towards the four air defense positions closest to them.

The Japanese army obviously planned the bombing operation carefully, because the first wave dropped napalm bombs. Ouyang Yun saw this scene from the peephole of the air-raid shelter, and immediately closed his eyes sadly.The scene he was most worried about still appeared, and he lamented in his heart: Did he really change history?Not on the bright side-the Japanese army not only developed a new type of fighter, but also mastered napalm technology.How scary are napalm bombs?It can be seen from the flames ignited on the four air defense positions that were bombed-one of the four positions is a real air defense position, and the size of the troops stationed there has reached two battalions. It is a densely wooded area. With the explosion of napalm bombs, these trees have become the enemy of the student army. The terrible thing about napalm bombs is that once they burn, apart from yellow sand or professional fire extinguishing agents, Basically impossible to put out.It is impossible for the troops to carry these professional fire extinguishing agents when they are fighting outside. Another important reason is that although the soldiers are in a sea of ​​fire and even their bodies are already on fire, the first thing they think of is not to put out the flames on their bodies, but to put out the fire. is to keep fighting.

The sea of ​​flames burned one by one, and the entire river defense line suddenly became a hell on earth.It should be said that compared with other domestic troops, the officers and soldiers of the cadet army still have a strong tolerance. After all, this is also part of their daily training.But when the whole body is wrapped in flames, not everyone can maintain their sanity.The screams rang out on the air defense positions that were on fire, and at the same time, the anti-aircraft artillery fire became more violent! "Revenge for the brothers!" - Such shouts can be heard almost on the thirteen anti-aircraft positions.After witnessing such a tragic situation, the naval fleet also started their engines and drove the ships over to support the student army.

Ouyang Yun pondered for a while, picked up the microphone and issued this order: "I order that all combat personnel can withdraw from the battlefield on their own. In this battle, you are not deserters!"

Liu Zheliang commanded the combat staff to convey the order, but Ouyang Yun did not see a large-scale retreat through the peephole.He just saw a lot of burning fire balls jumping into the Yangtze River, but even so, the fire on those soldiers did not go out. If they were smarter, they would dive into the bottom of the water, but more people, they were entering the river. They were already dying before, so after jumping into the Yangtze River, they never woke up again.

The anti-air attack lasted only half an hour. In the end, the Japanese army dropped seven fighters. However, they also achieved their intended purpose and almost completely destroyed the anti-aircraft firepower of the Xuebing Army.Of course, if those false positions were not included, because there were not enough bombs, in the end, the Japanese army used machine guns and machine guns to attack those false positions.What the Xue Bingjun lost was only some wooden products.

"What does Abi Hell look like? That's all. However, in the face of the vicious bombs of the Japanese army, our heroic soldiers did not flinch. Some soldiers have already ignited fires, but they still stick to their combat positions-the Japanese army's loss. Of the seven fighter planes, at least three of them were shot down by these flame-wearing warriors..." ——Scholar Army Zhanbao and Guangdong Times jointly reported on the spot.

The tragic battle that took place in Jiangyin Fortress spread throughout China the next day.In the face of the huge sacrifice made by the student army, various parties in the country have sent letters of praise and condolences.Among them, Zhang Xueliang took more than a dozen military doctors from the army of the Northeast Army to Nanjing, and rushed to Jiangyin to help the Xuebing Army to treat the wounded.

It has been three hours since the battle ended, and the flames on the burning positions still haven't been extinguished.The statistics of the battle damage came out. It was in service. The Xuebing Army killed 350 and 310 people and seriously injured [-] and [-] people. The injured are even more difficult to estimate.

In the courtyard of the Xuebing Army Field Hospital in Jiangyin City, Ouyang Yun shed tears of pain as he walked past the bodies of dead soldiers covered in white cloth one after another.

The consequences of the lack of intelligence. If we knew that the Japanese army had mastered the technology of making napalm bombs, we would definitely take this into consideration in the setting of air defense positions. Then, the casualties would not be so painful.The Xue Bing Army had fought many vicious battles, but it was the first time that the casualties in a single battle were so heavy. What is unsatisfactory is that this time the Japanese army only sent [-] fighters.Although the result of shooting down seven enemy planes was achieved, compared with the huge casualties, this is nothing to mention.

Minister Chen Shaokuan originally wanted to return to Nanjing, but was delayed because of this battle.Seeing the heavy casualties of the Xue Bing Army, he felt very uncomfortable. Walking up to Ouyang Yun, he said, "Commander Ouyang Yun, please express your condolences. Your army's air defense force has been seriously damaged. What should we do next?"

Ouyang Yun turned his head to look at him, and said word by word: "Blood debt must be tasted with blood! I, Ouyang Yun, am a vengeful person. The Japanese have napalm bombs, but don't we have them in the cadet army? Minister Chen , just wait and see! I will teach the Japanese a painful lesson!"

Chen Shaokuan originally had considerable expectations for the air defense capabilities of the Xuebing Army, but after this battle, he saw the reality clearly. When he heard him say this, he thought he was speaking out of anger.What he is most worried about now is the safety of the fleet. He sighed and said: "I am very worried now! What if the Japanese army uses this kind of shells against our fleet? In that case, we will have no power to fight back."

Ouyang Yun frowned and said nothing - this is indeed a difficult problem.But what he thinks most at the moment is the source of the Japanese bombs.

Because according to the information he has, the manufacturing technology of napalm bombs is currently only owned by the Xuebing Army and the US military.The U.S. military's technology is precisely obtained from the cadet army.

Just three months ago, the Xuebing Army and the U.S. military exchanged some military technologies independently mastered by both sides.The reason why he approved the handing over of the napalm bomb manufacturing technology to the Americans was that the Americans would master this technology by themselves in a short time, and he was happy to be a favor.Now it seems that he made a big mistake in handling this matter.He overestimated the character of the US government, and at the same time underestimated the public relations capabilities of the Japanese government.And the only thing he expects now is that these bombs were not made by the Japanese themselves, but purchased from the United States——

Fate is relatively fair to Ouyang Yun.These bombs were indeed sold to the Japanese by American businessmen, and it was a private transaction.The reason why these powerful bombs were used in the Jiangyin Fortress was because the Japanese already knew that the fortress was now stationed by the Xuebing Army.

It seems that the Japanese also hate the cadet army.On the second day of newspapers in Japan, the news of the severe injury to the Xuebing Army appeared on the front page headlines, and the Japanese domestic media paid more attention to it than the war in Nanjing.

Regarding the words about teaching the Japanese a painful lesson, Ouyang Yun didn't just say it casually, he already had an idea about this matter.And with the previous failed plan, this time, he will not tell anyone.

He is going to give a black tiger to the second fleet of the Japanese Navy to dig out his heart!
That night, the Japanese army carried out another air strike against the naval fleet. However, because the Xuebing Army imposed martial law on the Jiangfang area, it failed to obtain the guidance and support of the traitors.In the end, the eight Japanese planes came and went in a hurry after dropping a few bombs indiscriminately.And on this seemingly peaceful night, under the personal supervision of Ouyang Yun, the Xue Bingjun was carrying out a somewhat large-scale project.

Tomorrow is destined to be a fierce battle.

With the failure of the plan to show the enemy weakness, the Japanese army will definitely launch a joint attack by sea and air in advance.After all, once the Jiangyin Fortress is captured, the Japanese ships will be able to go straight up and down to threaten Nanjing, which is obviously of great help to the large Japanese troops attacking Nanjing.And after successfully destroying the anti-aircraft firepower of the Xuebing Army, the naval ships of the national army and the Jiangyin Fortress were tantamount to having their coats uncovered-undoubtedly, on this point of judgment, not only Ouyang Yun was clear, The Japanese understand that too.That's why Ouyang Yun personally supervised the work tonight, and let the soldiers of the student army, who were still in great grief, do hard physical labor.
