Smiling and watching the officers and soldiers raise their steel guns and throw their helmets high, watching them celebrate their victory with loud shouts, Liu Lang continued to announce his order: "
"At the same time, I would like to inform all the officers that the main force of the 8th Division and the Japanese 6th Division is about to attack Luo Wenyu Pass. The 7,000 soldiers of our Independent Regiment, 288th Regiment, and 289th Regiment will surely guard our territory and promote our country's prestige.
, fight to the death and never retreat.”
At this moment, Liu Lang was standing on the land of northern China, standing in front of the bodies of the killed Japanese officers and soldiers, with long eyebrows and a deafening voice.
The moment he eloquently said "Fight to the death", there seemed to be a light about him that even eclipsed the rising sun.
This was the man who stood upright. Ji Yanxue was extremely fascinated when she looked at the man who did not look heroic but had no man who could compare with him.
"Fight to the death and never retreat." The school officials closest to Liu Lang raised their arms and shouted loudly.
At this moment, the blood in their chests had boiled to its peak.
"Fight to the death, never retreat, fight to the death, never retreat..." The soldiers' loud shouts spread from the center of the position to the entire audience.
The steel guns raised high and the young faces flushed issued a declaration of battle to the 25,000 Japanese troops that were galloping towards them.
In fact, they did it in the next January.
The huge sound even reached high in the sky. The Japanese bomber pilots who flew from the Shenyang base for two and a half hours heard a strange sound more than ten miles away. The sound seemed to overwhelm the huge roar of the engine.
The siren of "enemy plane incoming" came, and the cheering Chinese soldiers immediately hid in the fortifications.
This was not the time to act heroic. The Chinese soldiers, who were already transforming into elites, responded quickly.
The soldiers who were hiding gritted their teeth and looked at the increasingly clear enemy planes flying from the distance, but they were helpless. The only thing they could do was to hide themselves better.
"Damn it, if you give me an anti-aircraft artillery battery, I'll see how dare you be so arrogant." Tang Yongming, who has always been elegant, looked at the two enemy planes with plaster flags painted on them as they began to dive and observe without any scruples.
, angrily punched the earthen wall of the trench.
The National Army, which lacks anti-aircraft guns, hates Japanese aircraft the most. It is not pleasant to be beaten and unable to fight back. Moreover, their firepower is strong enough. A series of aerial bombs are dropped, and the National Army on the position often suffers heavy casualties, weighing up to 100 tons.
The power of a few hundred kilograms of aerial bombs cannot be compared with that of cannons such as howitzers.
"Hey, Deputy Tang, don't worry too much. It's true that we had a big meal, but I didn't expect that the little devil was worried that we weren't full and even brought dessert after the meal. So we can't deny his kindness, can we?
Liu Lang said with a slight smile.
Before Tang Yongming fully understood what he meant, Liu Lang turned to Yu Xiancheng and said: "Chief of Staff, order the cannon platoons of the fifth and sixth companies to start maneuvering towards the ancient mountain and pay attention to safety. At the same time, order Zhou Shiyu to dare to die.
The heavy machine gunners are on standby and will start taking action according to the previous plan."
"Commander Liu, don't be impulsive. The shooting range of the heavy machine gun is not high, and the upward shooting range is too close. It does not pose much of a threat to the aircraft..." Tang Yongming was startled by Liu Lang's order.
Not caring about losing Liu Lang's face, he quickly advised him.
Whether it was a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun, the soldiers of the National Army who were red-eyed by the Japanese plane bombings tried to shoot in the air, but they often not only missed the enemy plane, but also suffered crazy retaliation from the enemy plane.
They lost a few heavy firepower points and also lost excellent and brave machine gunners.
Indeed, in this era dominated by propeller aircraft, although the speed is not very fast, it can still reach hundreds of kilometers per hour. Taking the Type-A IV fighter currently the main force of the Japanese army as an example, the maximum level flight speed reaches 232
kilometers per hour, flying fast and high enough, the probability of an untrained Army machine gunner trying to shoot down the plane is indeed very small.
In fact, the National Army's infantry drill also contains regulations on air defense in the field, which require a concentration of two heavy machine guns and six or more light machine guns for air defense. However, the National Army's firepower itself is insufficient, with only two in each company.
By the time the light machine guns were concentrated, the Japanese planes would have finished wreaking havoc and fled.
Therefore, the shooters who only relied on their enthusiasm to hold machine guns and shoot against Japanese aircraft equipped with two machine guns, naturally suffered heavy casualties.
Anyway, now that the battle was over, Tang Yongming thought it would be better to hide for the sake of safety. It would be too bad to lose soldiers for two belated Japanese planes.
Unexpectedly, not only Liu Lang smiled and waved his hand to tell him not to get too excited, Yu Xiancheng, who had always been relatively stable, actually smiled and said hello to Tang Yongming and went straight to notify the communications platoon to send a telegram to Zhou Shiyu.
As a star pilot who had achieved great success in bombing China's Northeastern Army during the September 18th Incident in 1931, and still flew back with injuries after being hit by 22 bombs in his entire fuselage, and was interviewed by Tokyo's "Asahi Shimbun", Uranaka Tomoo was very concerned about the early morning
He was very dissatisfied with being woken up from his warm bed by military orders to support the Kwantung Army's operations.
The self-proclaimed Kwantung Army guys are as stupid as pigs. A brigade of thousands of people was surrounded by the Chinese army with outdated rifles. This is a disgrace to the Imperial Army. Uranaka is still in the Army Air Corps.
The lieutenant was extremely dissatisfied with his army allies.
The boring flight of nearly 500 kilometers made Lieutenant Uranaka's anger reach its highest level.
According to the navigation beacon, he had arrived at the battle site of the 4th Brigade of the 8th Division, and he had seen black smoke from the sky due to burning.
The Chinese had to be taught a profound lesson, and Uranaka Tomoo, who had accumulated anger towards stupid friendly forces, was ready to vent his anger on the Chinese army, which had outdated weapons.
But as he approached the battlefield, his anger dissipated little by little, replaced by a coldness that penetrated his bones.
The battlefield where the fierce fighting was imagining did not exist. Looking down from the air, it was dead silence. If it weren't for the black smoke from burning wood, he would have thought that this was an empty land. Where was the fighting coming from?
Could it be that the 4th Brigade has successfully broken through? Suppressing the coldness in his heart, after circling twice in the sky with no results, Lieutenant Uranaka ordered his wingman to be on alert in the air over the radio, and he carefully operated the aircraft to fly.
After descending from high altitude, the altitude was maintained at 500 meters and passed through the valley at high speed.
Tang Yongming said that the Japanese planes were unscrupulous, but in fact, he really thought highly of Uranaka Tomoo. In the battle in 1931, Lieutenant Uranaka was shot in the back by two companies of the Northeastern Army's machine guns and rifles and was shot with 22 bullets.
He didn't want to have it happen again. In that battle, his wingman was shot in the engine by the Chinese with crude weapons without fear of death. In the end, the plane was destroyed and everyone died. He was alive only because of the blessing of Amaterasu and his luck.
good.
The battlefield was still peaceful. However, the familiar khaki military uniforms scattered everywhere stung Lieutenant Uranaka's eyes.
The two battlefields were seven or eight miles apart, and the ground was covered with khaki military uniforms.
The battle on one of the battlefields should have ended long ago, and the Chinese army even had time to arrange the corpses of friendly army soldiers neatly, as if to demonstrate to him.
"Baga." Uranaka Tomoo smashed the dashboard angrily.
The 4th Brigade was completely wiped out? The overwhelming anger even made Uramanaka Tomoo forget his previous fear.
