Chapter 575 Defending Nanjing ([-])

The sky was twilight, and in the distance where the water and the sky met, a ray of red came up.Under the order of the leading officer, the people who had been busy all day put down their stuff and climbed onto the boats or rafts or bamboo rafts one after another.

Ouyang Yun stood on a bamboo raft, his clothes were wet without exception.He wiped the water from his face, looked around, and saw that on the nearly two-kilometer-wide river, a river chain made of gasoline barrels had formed.This river chain is just for the coming devil ships.There are more than 3000 gasoline barrels, more than half of which are filled with gasoline.As for those that are empty, they are for later combat needs and are used as buoys.

There are all heavy stones hanging under the empty gasoline drums, so that they can temporarily sink to the bottom of the water so as not to reveal their whereabouts.

Ouyang Yun's ability to come up with such a vicious strategy is naturally due to the stimulation given by the Japanese.Considering that the two L-19s could not deal a heavy blow to the Japanese fleet, he set up these gasoline barrels, preparing to give the Japanese army a hellfire blow on the wide river.

The bomb load of the L-19 is sufficient, but because it cannot drop bombs at low altitudes, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.However, with these petrol cans it's different.At that time, the load on the gasoline barrels will be reduced a little, and then exiled one by one, the Japanese warships will definitely be entangled. At that time, as long as one of them can be detonated, then what is waiting for the Japanese army will be a burning ship.

In yesterday's battle, the air defense unit of the Xuebing Army suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the personnel, there were countless anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns that were blown up or burned out.Now, the equipment in Ouyang Yun's hands is only enough to equip a half regiment of air defense troops.The giant fireworks "that is, the rockets" were still in transit. Considering that this was likely to be the last battle of the Xuebing Army in the Jiangyin Fortress, Ouyang Yun ordered them to return to the same place.

Chen Shaokuan originally wanted to return to Nanjing, but he realized that today would be a fierce battle, and for some reason, he stayed.

The soldiers of the Xuebing Army went ashore one by one, and what was waiting for them was a bowl of ginger soup for each of them.In addition, clean clothes had already been prepared by those female soldiers.

After soaking in the water for four or five hours, no matter who it is, no matter how strong his body is, he is still exhausted and cold at this time, and if he is a little careless, he may catch a cold or even suffer from a serious illness.

A dozen tents were temporarily set up by the river, and on the river beach, dozens of large pots were boiling ginger soup.

Wang Yifu and other officers and soldiers of the teaching regiment did not know about the actions of the student army until this morning, but when they rushed to the river, they could only see those rafts and boats carrying the officers and soldiers of the student army driving to the bank with their bodies wet. side.

The more than a dozen officers in the teaching regiment are all well-dressed. On the other hand, all the soldiers in the apprentice army, whether they are generals or soldiers, are all of the same virtue, as if they were just fished out of the water.Witnessing what happened on the river beach, although Wang Yifu and others didn't understand what their intentions were, they still couldn't help admiring them. At the same time, they felt a little blush for their neat attire.

Yesterday's offensive and defensive battle was a big shock to those who witnessed it—the power of napalm bombs was really terrifying. "What an evil bomb—" Wang Yifu commented when he recovered from the shock.Then, he had some evil thoughts in his mind, hoping that the Xue Bing Army would be devastated because of this, or even collapsed.

The performance of the officers and soldiers of the apprentice army was beyond his expectation. Although the expressions on their faces were much quieter than before, their eyes became more resolute, which made him have to sigh: From this aspect alone Well, the Xuebing Army is indeed worthy of the title of "Anti-Japanese Pioneer". They have the basic qualities that a strong army should have.

It's been a long time since then.It is well known that the Japanese army will definitely launch an attack of unprecedented scale today, and if the Jiangyin Fortress falls, the negative impact on the entire front will be huge.And after yesterday's battle, which has suffered huge losses, can the student army still withstand the attack of the Japanese army, which has air superiority and river superiority?
At around nine o'clock in the morning, as the first Japanese reconnaissance plane appeared over the Jiang defense fortifications, a shrill siren sounded, and in a bunker under the Huashan Fort, which served as the headquarters, electric bells rang one after another.

"Discover Japanese ships..."

"Japanese aircraft were found...a total of 32."

The specific assignment of combat tasks and procedures were all arranged as early as early this morning.Considering the needs of the battle, Ouyang Yun handed over the command to Li Hanhun, and he took the members of the Spike Special Forces Brigade directly down the river.

Whether the gasoline cans can be successfully and timely exiled is destined to be the key to the success of today's World War I.Affected by the ebb and flow of the tide, exile is time-limited, and at this moment it is still the high tide period, and the ebb tide will not start until 10:30.And because there are a total of thirteen Japanese warships, in order to successfully destroy most of them, the choice of the length of the gasoline barrel chain is also very important... Just because of these complicated details, Ouyang Yun is not at ease. This task should be handed over to other people, and only the officers and soldiers of the Spike Special Forces Brigade can complete this task on the water, and commanding these troops also requires very qualified personnel. Taking these factors into consideration, Ouyang Yun made such an arrangement.

The timing of the "L-19" attack is also a problem, because it can only take off from Guangdong Airport. Considering the itinerary, Ouyang Yun finally issued such an order after careful consideration. Air, and then cruise around Zhejiang.

Two minutes before ten o'clock, the twelve Japanese fighter planes carrying out the first wave of bombing missions appeared at the southeast corner of the Jiangyin Fortress.

Li Hanhun, who was standing in front of the Huangshan Fort and looking into the distance with a binoculars, immediately put away the binoculars and ran into the headquarters.Picking up the phone, he directly asked for the armored regiment of the third division of Xueyi Army and Xuedi, who was in charge of the first-line air defense mission. He issued an order: "Chen Zheyu, I ordered your regiment to take the initiative to intercept immediately. Remember, to attract the maximum attention of the Japanese army. Use your strength for your purpose!"

This time the cadet army brought out a total of two brigade-sized armored units.Ouyang Yun's original plan was to save them for the defense of Nanjing, but now he had to change his mind and let them serve as cannon fodder.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Chen Zheyu said firmly in his tank in a field about fifteen kilometers south of Jiangyin City.Then, he tuned the frequency to the public channel of his unit, and shouted: "Sons, the headquarters has come to order! Let's fight! Everyone, listen carefully, no matter what bombs the little devils use, our task is to entangle them! Whoever beats down the enemy plane first, I will give him a box of the Great Wall!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the earphones exploded: "Tuan Zuo, just watch it! This song must be our 118. 118, if you want to send it..."

"Honor belongs to the third company, brothers of the third company! Here is the chance to avenge the brothers of the air defense force! Fuck it!"

"Fight!" "Don't take my place, damn it, what are you doing..."

The fighter planes in this formation of the Japanese army originally targeted the forts such as Huangshan, but the armored regiment of the Xuebing Army that suddenly rushed out attracted their attention.At this moment, the Japanese plane has not lowered its altitude. Ordinarily, Chen Zheyu and his group’s firing at this time is actually a waste of ammunition, because except for a few large-caliber guns, the ammunition fired by other guns simply cannot reach the flight of the Japanese plane. high.However, when the second major, Zhao Chenglu, who led the team, saw the obvious sign of the Xuebing Army on the flag of the regiment, he changed the mission of the fighters without authorization and ordered the entire formation to be divided into two. He personally led six fighters to take charge Bomb these "student soldiers and Chinese pigs", and let the other six fighters continue to bomb the fort.

Chen Zheyu personally controlled a pair of anti-aircraft guns and fired more than ten rounds, only to find that he didn't even touch the butt of the little devil's fighter plane, so he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.I wondered who gave this order?If the little devil doesn't pick us up, then we will use up all the ammunition, and it will be for nothing!He was complaining to himself, when he suddenly found out that the six fighter planes swooped down after circling around, he was immediately overjoyed! "Brothers, the little devils are looking for us, good things, good things, let me fix it! Scatter and scatter, don't get together, the little devils are powerful bombs!"

"See, haha, this little devil really can't stand being teased! Troupe, let's compete and see who can beat the fight first!" The deputy leader of the troupe, Zhang Dayou, said this.However, his luck seems to be bad. Of course, this has something to do with him rushing too far.Not long after he finished speaking, his car was affected by the shock wave caused by a bomb explosion and overturned.

From air to ground, although they are at a disadvantage in numbers, due to natural restraint factors, the Japanese aircraft first achieved results as soon as they came up.When six fighter planes swooped down at once, Chen Zheyu's regiment lost three armored vehicles, and at the same time one tank was paralyzed.

The army suffered a loss, and Chen Zheyu should be sad and angry, but the fact is that when he found out that the Japanese plane dropped only ordinary bombs, he was overjoyed instead! "Brothers, the little devil doesn't have that kind of evil bomb, that's great, give me a hard beating!"

Zhang Dayou was riding in that unlucky tank.The protection ability of the Jiguang tank is still very good. Although it was overturned, the occupants inside did not suffer much damage.Zhang Dayou didn't care about scratches on his head. He crawled out first, then pulled out the machine gun, and asked the original machine gunner to press the bullets for him. Holding the machine gun, he jumped up and shouted: "His mother!" Yes, if you dare to bomb me, I will definitely beat you down!"

At the military meeting yesterday, the staff department had specific suggestions on the combat methods and procedures of each unit.Chen Zheyu's regiment has a total of 48 tanks and 36 armored vehicles.At this moment, they took the platoon as a unit, and three vehicles formed a small battle formation in the shape of a zigzag, and began to sprint towards the enemy plane.

The battle quickly entered a white-hot stage.
