After hearing what the staff officer said, Ueda Katsu couldn't care less about his buzzing ears and struggled to stand up.
The staff officer quickly helped him up after seeing it. After getting up, Ueda Katsu looked at the position and found that the position that had been built for less than a day was no longer the same as it was. There were big potholes everywhere.
Japanese soldiers wearing yellow military uniforms were lying everywhere around the big pit.
Seeing the apocalyptic awakening, Ueda Katsu's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley, and he murmured: "The Chinese actually have 500 kilograms of heavy aerial bombs."
How powerful is a 500 kilogram aerial bomb?
Let's put it this way, this kind of bomb usually has a charge of about 230 kilograms. It can blow a tank weighing dozens of tons back to its parts, and it can also blow an object weighing 30 tons to an altitude of 50 meters.
Later, a 500-kilogram aerial bomb left over from World War II was discovered in Zhengzhou, China. Engineers detonated it, leaving a crater 12 meters in diameter and 5 meters deep in the ground.
This was after the bomb had been left for more than half a century and the power of the explosion had weakened.
The most terrible thing is that the shock wave of this heavy bomb has an effective killing radius of at least 50 meters, and the fragmentation killing radius can reach 400 meters.
In other words, people within 50 meters are absolutely dead, and even people within 400 meters are still unsafe.
The command post that Ueda Katsu had just now was dug quite solidly and was a semi-underground bunker. Otherwise, his ears would not only be ringing now, but he would be like those not far away who seemed to have no scratches on the surface but had already been shocked to death.
followed in the footsteps of the Japanese soldiers.
"Fujino-kun, please inform all the brigade immediately and report the casualties to me in ten minutes!"
"Hi!"
Not long after Staff Officer Fujino left, there were shouts of killing from the front. Ueda Katsu took out his binoculars and took a look and found that the Chinese army, which had been firmly suppressed by them in front of the position, had begun to attack them again.
But this time, without the cover of aircraft and being bombed by eight heavy aerial bombs, the 227th Wing was temporarily stunned and could not organize an effective counterattack.
For a time, the 227th Regiment was defeated steadily by the Chinese army whose equipment was far inferior to theirs.
"Great, Master, the 412th Regiment is charging forward!" Chen Yaoxian shouted excitedly.
"I saw."
Cun Xingqi suppressed the excitement in his heart and immediately ordered: "You immediately notify the 411th Regiment and ask them to give up attacking the ferry on the right and move closer to us quickly. If necessary, work with the 412th Regiment to capture the Wufujian Ferry on the opposite side.
"
"Master's seat!"
Chen Yaoxian hesitated and said: "The 411th Regiment is facing the 226th Regiment of the Japanese Army. Once the Japanese discover that we are retreating, will they come over immediately? Once they discover our intention, our division will be passive."
Cun Xingqi thought for a while and realized that what Chen Yaoxian said was not unreasonable. Once the two Japanese regiments reunited, it would be difficult to deal with them with the strength of the 12th Division alone.
However, he only hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "Don't pay attention to them. The 226th Wing still has to defend the ferry on the right wing. Even if it comes over, it won't be able to mobilize too many troops. As the saying goes, a thousand birds in the forest is worse than a bird in the hand.
, as long as we can capture Wufujian, it will be victory."
"clear!"
After Chen Yaoxian left, Cun Xingqi looked up at the plane still circling in the sky, feeling both happy and anxious.
Just as he was preparing to return to the headquarters, Chen Yaoxian, who had left less than two minutes ago, ran back in a hurry, shouting excitedly as he ran: "Master, the military commander is calling. We know the communication passwords of those planes in the sky.
.”
"Bring it to me quickly!" Cun Xingqiying snatched the telegram and read it at a glance.
"Hmm...Liantai Militia Flying Brigade? Where did this come from?"
After reading the telegram, Cun Xingqi was a little confused for a moment. Are all today's militia groups so powerful? They even have airplanes?
Seeing that Cun Xingqi couldn't remember it for a moment, Chen Yaoxian reminded from the side: "Master... you forgot... it's Gao Hongming's Liantai Militia?"
"Oh...it turns out to be him!"
When Gao Hongming was mentioned, Cun Xingqi immediately thought of it. There was no way, even though the newspapers in the Kuomintang-controlled areas were deliberately erasing the information about the Liantai militia, this was only relative to ordinary people, and senior generals like Cun Xingqi had no choice.
How could I not know?
Now that he knew it was Gao Hongming, Cun Xingqi felt confident.
"Commander Chen, now that you have the communication password, have you contacted the fleet in the sky?"
"The master has been contacted."
"Okay... let... no... send a request to them immediately, asking them to continue to cover our army's attack on Wufujian Ferry. We must capture the ferry this afternoon!"
"clear!"
Peiping North China Front Army Headquarters
For three consecutive days, the Japanese army's attack was very smooth. More than half of Nakatiao Mountain had been captured, and most of the defenders of Nakatiao Mountain were defeated. From the professional perspective of Neji Okamura, it was only a matter of time before Nakatiao Mountain was captured.
Well, the current problem is that because the Japanese army is advancing too fast, the logistics supplies cannot keep up for a while. Okamura Neiji is considering whether to let the frontline troops slow down the attack speed and wait until the supplies are completed before launching the attack.
Okamura Neiji, who was in a good mood, leaned on the sofa, thought for a while, and called for the combat staff officer Miyamoto Ichiro.
Soon, Miyamoto Ichiro came to his office and bowed to him: "Your Excellency, Commander, please call me."
Neji Okamura, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Miyamoto-kun, I heard that your chess skills are good and you are said to be the invincible player in the headquarters. How about you come and play a game with me?"
Miyamoto lowered his head in fear: "I don't dare praise you, Commander, because those are all nonsense said by my colleagues."
"Sigh... You don't have to be modest. If you don't have real skills, the staff officers in the headquarters who are above the top will not say nonsense."
Okamura Neji smiled softly, pointed at the coffee table and said: "Come... let's get started."
"Hi!"
Ichiro Miyamoto sat down. Out of respect, he respectfully asked Neji Okamura to hold the white piece. He took the corner first with 1, 3, 5, and then held the corner with black 7 and black 9 tip.
Seeing this, Neji Okamura couldn't help but smile and said: "I can't tell that Miyamoto-kun is actually an admirer of Honinbo Shusaku."
Ichiro Miyamoto said with some embarrassment: "I made the commander laugh. Senior Shusaku Honinbo is indeed my idol."
Okamura Neji nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he saw a communications staff officer hurriedly came to the two of them, bowed and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, the 3rd Flight Group is reporting urgently. They are at Mount Nakatiao."
It was suddenly attacked by Chinese fighter planes, and the two sides are currently fighting fiercely."
