Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 576 Defending Nanjing ([-])

Because of technical and material factors, although the Jiguang armored vehicle is imitated based on the products of the later era, its performance is not the same. The most obvious is the armor's protective ability.Although compared with the armored vehicles of the same period, the armored vehicles of the Jiguang type are quite superior in armor capability, and can even withstand the strafing of the Maxim heavy machine gun at a certain distance, but in the face of heavy bombs weighing 50 pounds, they are still powerless.

The primary bombing target of the Japanese planes was the fort. It is precisely because of the outstanding protection capabilities of the Huangshan and other forts that this wave of Japanese planes carried heavy bombs.

Under the leadership of Chen Zheyu, the soldiers were quite desperate. However, they were already at a natural disadvantage. Therefore, after a quarter of an hour of fighting, they still failed to shoot down an enemy plane.

"It's evil! I heard from Liu Kui and the others that the commander used his rifle to shoot down the planes of the little devils in Renqiu. With the intensive firepower of our regiment, why can't we shoot down a single one?!" Chen Zheyu was angry, and at the same time, he was quite unwilling .

They were the first to come into contact with the Japanese aircraft, but it was the air defense soldiers on the Huangshan Fort who first made contributions.Because of the heavy losses yesterday, when making combat arrangements in the early morning, Ouyang Yun had to face an embarrassing situation: a serious shortage of anti-aircraft weapons.In desperation, the air defense capabilities of several forts such as Huangshan had to be lowered. The original configuration of eight anti-aircraft guns and twelve anti-aircraft machine guns now only retained four anti-aircraft guns and eight anti-aircraft machine guns.However, considering that the fort is the most important protection target, the most advanced anti-aircraft guns are left on the fort. These anti-aircraft guns are equipped with an automatic loading system. In theory, the rate of fire per minute has reached an astonishing 380 rounds.

In charge of the Huangshan Fort air defense command is a major named Xue Ming.

Xue Ming was originally a battalion commander of the Air Defense Force of the Second Xue Division, and he had hundreds of people under his command. However, because of the heavy casualties in the first battle yesterday, the size of the troops he commanded was only equivalent to a company.

Xue Ming has quite rich combat experience.He replaced all the bullets of one of the anti-aircraft machine guns with tracer bullets, and let Wang Haifeng, who has the highest level of shooting, be the main shooter for reference by other forts and shooters.As expected, his move was effective. As Wang Haifeng shot a bullet that lit up a beam of light in the air, other anti-aircraft guns and machine guns followed one after another. The first enemy plane that broke into the attack range of the fort even killed a bomb. When he failed to cast it, he was beaten into the air and disintegrated, turning into a pile of burning scraps of copper and iron, flying in all directions.

When the first intruding enemy plane was shot up and disintegrated in the air, a faint black spot undulated with the waves on the Yangtze River not far from the Huangshan Fort. If you looked closely, you would find that it was actually some human heads.They were naturally the officers and soldiers of the Spike Special Forces Brigade led by Ouyang Yun.

In Jiangsu in June, the weather is not very hot, especially in the morning, when the temperature is only about seven or eight degrees.The soldiers had been fighting in the water for several hours last night, and their physical energy was exhausted. If they soaked in the water now, even the hardened ones would not be able to stand it after a long time.At this moment, many people have turned blue and their lips are purple. If their physical fitness is not really strong, some people will not be able to stand it and will fall down.The reason why Ouyang Yun insisted on personally leading the team was, on the one hand, of course, that he was concerned about the importance of the relationship; on the other hand, it was because of his personal heroism.However, judging from his current situation, he obviously thought about this matter too simply. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he thought too well about his physical fitness.It was okay at first, but after half an hour, his body reacted—snot and tears started to come out by themselves, and he began to tremble.

Regarding Ouyang Yun's insistence on committing the danger himself, no matter whether it was the soldiers of the Xuebing Army or the personnel from the Navy Department such as Chen Shaokuan, everyone opposed it.Liu Kui and Shan Renxiong almost tied him up directly.Of course, Ouyang Yun's personality determined that everyone's objections would be invalid.In desperation, Liu and Shan, one on the left and one on the right, guarded him. Shan Renxiong saw his distressed appearance and said, "Commander, you should go up first? It's too dangerous. It looks like your body I can't take it..." Before he finished speaking, many soldiers around him let out an exclamation, and the two of them followed the eyes of the crowd and saw the ball of fire that exploded.

"Good fight!" Ouyang Yun shouted, waving his fists!

Liu Kui said: "Who is in command of the Huangshan Fort? This kid has a trick! Use tracer bullets as a guide to dispatch all the anti-aircraft firepower, and the shots are really accurate!"

"This experience is worth summarizing and promoting! Liu Kui, please pay attention to me. When this battle is over, I want to see him!"

"Yes!"

"Commander, the enemy ship has started to move. It seems that they want to use artillery to help the plane clear the anti-aircraft fire!" At this time, a Spike soldier in charge of liaison reported to Ouyang Yun.

The Japanese ship stopped about 10 kilometers away from the fortress.Obviously, they want to wait for the aviation to solve the threat of the fort before attacking the national army fleet.However, due to the strong anti-aircraft firepower of the turret, four Japanese aircraft were lost in the first wave of attack in just [-] minutes.

Ouyang Yun was very excited when he heard the news, and immediately issued an order: "Contact Commander Li as soon as possible and let him obtain the location of L-19."

The communicator began telegraphing, and soon, Li Hanhun called back to inform him that he had grasped the movements of the Japanese Second Fleet, and that two L-19s were on their way and would arrive in an hour.

Ouyang Yun calculated the time and confirmed that it would be the time of low tide in an hour, and he was completely relieved.Then, he ordered several fighters who acted as correspondents to convey the news to each combat team, and set the time for expelling the gasoline barrels to be 45 minutes later.

At this moment, the air-to-ground offensive and defensive battle centered on the Huangshan Fort is at its worst. With the addition of two subsequent Japanese aircraft formations, the air defense unit of the Xuebing Army began to suffer casualties again. Among them, Chen Zheyu's armor, which was used as cannon fodder, The regiment suffered the most painful blow. In just a quarter of an hour, three tanks and eleven armored vehicles were blown up.

After Zhang Dayou shot down an enemy plane, he was hit by the condescending machine gun bullets of the Japanese plane and fell into a pool of blood.And Chen Zheyu also had his left arm broken because the armored vehicle he was riding in was overturned.

After receiving the latest information provided by Li Hanhun, the navy fleet of the national army also came out of the military port.In order to achieve the purpose of attracting Japanese firepower, they formed several small combat formations around several forts, and joined the ranks of resisting Japanese bombing.Unsurprisingly, after the Japanese received this intelligence feedback, their Second Fleet immediately accelerated its march and killed them in a mighty manner.

At a quarter past ten, the Japanese ship finally appeared in Li Hanhun's telescope. After roughly estimating the distance, he immediately sent a power to Ouyang Yun to inform him of the news.At this time, Ouyang Yun and the others were already banishing the petrol barrels.

In order to ensure that the chains composed of these gasoline barrels can lock the Japanese ship, basically the length of each chain is controlled at about 50 meters, and there are a total of about fifteen gasoline barrels tied to it, five of which are fully loaded, and ten are not. is empty.As soon as the appointed time came, the soldiers on the shore first cut the fixed rope, and then all the groups cut off the heavy objects such as stones hanging from the chain together, and started to put the entire petrol barrel chain on the chain according to the marks made earlier. split into pieces...

While the soldiers in the river were performing this operation, the soldiers on the shore began to fire smoke bombs forward with mortars. Soon, the entire river seemed to be covered in thick fog, and the visibility dropped to 20 meters. within.

Ouyang Yun personally cut off the rope hanging from a stone, and then climbed onto another rope.The purpose of this rope is for the soldiers to go ashore after completing their tasks.However, due to the rush of water in this section of the river, the accident he tried his best to prevent happened. Two or ten minutes later, after the roll call of the soldiers performing water operations, he was informed that a total of three people were missing, including Xiao Changwu, a battalion commander of the Broadsword Regiment.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Spike Special Forces Brigade were taken down to change clothes and go to rest.A few people, including Ouyang Yun and Shan Renxiong, came to a fortification built by the river. Several people looked into the distance through the peephole with binoculars, and they were waiting for the most exciting moment.

Another 10 minutes or so passed, and finally there was a roaring sound in the sky that was different from the sound of the Japanese machine's motor—"It's our L-19!" looked up to the sky.However, due to the use of too many smoke bombs, the smoke not only covered the river, but also floated over the fortifications, affecting his sight. He did not see the huge figure of L-19.

On the river, the Japanese ship was only about ten kilometers away from the Huangshan Fort.At this distance, both sides can bombard each other, but the accuracy is hard to say - because of the cover of the smoke, to put it bluntly, if you want to hit a cannon accurately, it is very difficult to do without a lot of luck .

The "burning ship" plan is no longer a secret to the people in Jiangyin Fortress.Therefore, Huangshan Fort remained silent in accordance with operational requirements.The task of igniting those gasoline barrels was entrusted to two L-19s to complete.The task of guiding them to carry out precise bombing was handed over to a small team of the Spike Special Exhibition Brigade.

It was Xiao Yi, the commander of the first battalion, who led this team to perform this task, and they became the only ones in the cadet army who were lucky enough to directly watch the grand scene of "flame burning the ship".
