Chapter 602 Bloody Battle ([-])
It was almost noon, and the fighting on the ground battlefield had come to an end.Under the ravages of more than a dozen Japanese gunboats, even though the Jiguang tank had armor that was much more efficient than the Type 99, it still had no choice but to retreat.

Under the clouds in the east, the Japanese fighter planes were already clearly visible, but at this moment, the artillery division commanded by Li Hanhun had just begun to withdraw from the battlefield.

The artillery division performed quite well today, and it can be said that it played a role in setting the world.It was under the almost abnormal precise shooting of the artillery division that the heavy artillery unit of the 11th Division, which was the most threatening to the tank division, was annihilated within about 10 minutes of entering the battle.In this way, the advantage of the tank unit of the Xuebing Army was established, so the next battle almost became the performance time of the Tank Division of the Xuebing Army.

Ouyang Yun came down from a high place, sneaked into the headquarters, and said to the busy staff officers: "It is time for them to give orders to the air defense forces. The key to whether the artillery division can withdraw to Nanjing safely depends on them. .”

The air force of the Xuebing Army is under construction. Although the aircraft factory of the Xuebing Army is already able to produce the "Wanfu-02" fighter jet with complete intellectual property rights, most of the materials needed are imported from the United States. , and there is a serious shortage of skilled workers, so now only one finished machine can be manufactured every two months.Such a production speed has seriously affected the expansion speed of the Air Force.The good thing is that with the efforts of Gu Lianyun, the joint venture aircraft factory in the United States has been put into production, and this factory, which is mainly based on the U.S. military, has a current production capacity of about 19 aircraft per month. According to the agreement, out of the forty fighters, the Xuebing Army can get about ten, plus one L-[-] every month, so, I believe that after half a year, the Air Force of the Xuebing Army can truly become one Support the backbone.

At that time, at least the airspace of Fujian and Guangdong can be guaranteed, but now, we have to rely on the air defense force——Ouyang Yun felt a little helpless when he thought so.In the Battle of Jiangyin Fortress, the Xuebing Army lost the most was the air defense unit. The Fifth Division and the Tenth Division originally had half a brigade-sized armored units. Because they were pulled out for air defense, they lost a full regiment and a half of armored vehicles and tanks. .If it weren't for the lack of so many chariot troops, this time they could completely overwhelm the Japanese army in Pukou into the Yangtze River to feed the bastards.

Except for the self-propelled howitzers about the size of a brigade, the artillery divisions of the Xuebing Army are all towed.The speed of the self-propelled artillery is about 45 kilometers, but the towed one is much worse, only about 35. If the Japanese army does not have an air force to participate in the war at this speed, it is enough. However, once it meets those easy speeds, it will break through 500 kilometers, or even more air strike power, it would be like a snail.

The efficiency of relying on ground force to intercept fighter planes is really too low. What's terrible is that the enemy can completely ignore the ground interception forces and fly over to directly attack the target.

In order to reduce the impact on the artillery division as much as possible, Ouyang Yun had to mobilize all ground troops with air defense capabilities, and the combat requirements for them were a bit harsher: I don't care what method you use, you must intercept the little devil's fighter plane, as long as If you don't allow the Japanese army to bomb the artillery separately, you will complete the task.

After all the Japanese fighter planes appeared on the battlefield, Ouyang Yun sincerely felt that he was really lucky.Yes, for some reason, the number of Japanese planes in this wave was only a mere eight, and, judging from the bombs they dropped, they were only medium-sized bombs weighing about 20 to 30 pounds. As long as it doesn't directly hit the weak position of the relay light type, it can't even effectively penetrate the armor.

Discovering this new situation, he immediately gave Qian Guangming an order: "After withdrawing from the attack area of ​​the Japanese gunboats, defend in situ, attract the attention of Japanese aircraft, and strike them as much as possible! As for the 22nd and 40th regiments, let them go back to the trenches and stay there." Let’s go. Right now, the devils from the 11th Division and the Shantian Detachment should be busy integrating troops and treating the wounded.”

The first thing the eight Japanese planes discovered was the tank unit of the Xuebing Army, and four of the fighters immediately began to look for a suitable dive position, and then went into bombing.

One bomb after another fell from the belly of the Japanese plane, and the sound of "swish" piercing through the air made people's scalp tingle. Then, amidst a series of explosions, an area the size of a football field was shrouded in fireworks.After the violent explosion, one tank was directly overturned by the air wave, and another was killed because the ammunition depot was hit. A pile of burning scrap iron, all the occupants inside were martyred.

It would be unwise to use tank troops to attract the attention of the Japanese aircraft. However, the existing air defense firepower of the Xuebing Army is limited. There were only one and a half regiments of the original five regiments of air defense troops left in Pukou.Therefore, if you want to really delay all the Japanese fighter planes here, you can only rely on these tanks equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns.

Two Japanese fighter planes bombed the same area at the same time, destroying three tanks of the tank division and injuring four at one time, which made Qian Guangming extremely annoyed.He held the telephone and yelled loudly: "Don't mess up! Keep the formation, use the battalion as the unit, and shoot from coverage. Damn, I don't believe it. We have so many tanks, and we won't be able to beat these eight Japanese planes."

Eight Japanese planes left behind four tank units that bombed the Xuebing Army. Captain Jiubin Zhengyun, who led the team, originally thought that this was enough.The bombing results of the first two Japanese planes also convinced him of this. However, after only about 5 minutes, the Japanese plane on his left was disintegrated in the air by intensive anti-aircraft firepower. Then another Japanese plane was damaged on the right wing. He frowned and thought to himself: The artillery of the Chinese people has not been found yet, so let's deal with these tanks first!The tank unit of the Xuebing Army is a confidant of the empire. Before, the Tiangu and Kunisaki detachments have suffered losses in its hands. Now, the empire’s latest Type 99 tank unit has been defeated. Anyway, it’s okay to turn around. To solve these tanks, just change the order of attack.So, when the remaining two Japanese planes finished their bombing and began to shoot at the tank unit of the Xuebing Army with machine guns and cannons, the four Japanese planes that had moved away turned around again and shot at the tank division led by Qian Guangming. Fly away.

In the fifth trench just behind the tank unit, the only remaining anti-aircraft unit of the cadet army had fixed the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. As the Japanese planes began to lower their flying altitudes, the commander gave an order and distributed them in five anti-aircraft trenches. The anti-aircraft guns on the ground opened fire at the same time. Immediately, the airspace where the Japanese plane was flying, with the sound of "boom, boom" explosion, cloud after cloud of smoke exploded, dyeing the sky gray.

As soon as the anti-aircraft guns showed up, Captain Jiu Ping's wingman immediately reported the situation, and at the same time made gestures, requesting him to deal with this branch of the troops.

The flying altitude of the Japanese plane is still about 1500 meters. At such a height, anti-aircraft machine guns are powerless, so only the anti-aircraft guns are showing off.There are 17 anti-aircraft guns on the five positions in total. These 17 anti-aircraft guns fired at the same time, which also caused a certain amount of psychological pressure on the Japanese pilots.Captain Jiu Ping made a gesture and agreed to the wingman's combat request.

So, this Japanese plane broke away from the formation of four planes, pulled it to the left alone, and then swooped down from the left, and went straight to the leftmost air defense position of the Xuebing Army.

Jiang Haiyang is a battalion commander of the Air Defense Regiment of the Third Division, and the battalion he commands is on the far left.

Jiang Haiyang is from Renqiu. Before joining the Xuebing Army, he worked as an accountant for two years.And precisely because of his experience, his comrades nicknamed him "Old Account".

The reason why Lao Zhang joined the Xuebing Army was not to defend his family or to get promoted and make a fortune. His original intention was simply because the salary of the Xuebing Army was five yuan a month.In fact, as an accountant, his income is considered good, three oceans per month, in Renqiu, he can be considered a "white collar".Of course, because his parents are not in good health and he has to support five younger siblings, these three oceans are far from enough. So, in order to earn two extra oceans a month, he disregards his family's "good men don't serve as soldiers." "Ancestral training and resolutely join the army.

Lao Zhang joined the army just to make a living, so it is not difficult to understand his slack performance in the barracks at the beginning.As a former accountant, Jiang Haiyang is a person who has really seen the world. He has been to Beiping three times alone. In this way, he also had the opportunity to meet those soldiers. The slogans were shouted loudly, but in fact they were nothing more than thugs of a warlord's separatist forces.

The change of his thoughts had to start from the first time he listened to Ouyang Yun's class.The cadet army attaches great importance to the cultural quality education of officers and soldiers, so various training classes emerge in endlessly.As Jiang Haiyang who likes to read, he is naturally happy to charge for free.The first time he listened to Ouyang Yun's class, he didn't know that the young man standing in front of the podium was the "little officer" of the Xuebing Army.It was the first time for Ouyang Yun to give lectures to the students. Unlike other instructors, he didn't bring any lecture notes.And in that class, Ouyang Yun didn't really preach and dispel doubts.

Jiang Haiyang still remembers the first words of the little officer after he came to power: "Everyone, you are now a member of the soldier army, so what I want to ask is——Why did you become a soldier?"

He just finished asking this question, and someone below immediately stood up and shouted: "Report to the instructor! It is to protect the family and the country!"

The little officer nodded with a smile and asked, "Is there any more?"

Someone stood up: "Report! I want to avenge my parents! I am from Shenyang, and there are five people in my hometown. Except for me, they were all killed by the little devil! I heard that the purpose of the establishment of the Xuebing Army is to fight devils... "

After this person finished speaking, a few more people gave a few upright answers.When Jiang Haiyang heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, showing a disapproving expression.What he thought in his heart was: "Maybe the one who said he wanted revenge was the truth. Others, hmph, what they said was better than what they sang. They thought it was an opera? However, that instructor seems to like listening to operas! Hehe , who is an official who doesn’t like to hear such scenes?”
