In Fengtian City, at the headquarters of the Chahar Independent Regiment, Xu Rui was studying the huge map of the three eastern provinces with his head down.
Wang Husheng walked into the war room excitedly and said to Xu Rui, who was studying the map with his head lowered: "Old Xu, let me tell you some good news. With the efforts of the working group, the Sixth Puppet Manchukuo Army in Dashiqiao County was defeated."
The regiment has been mobilized anyway, and the people in dozens of villages in Dashiqiao have also fully mobilized, and more than a dozen peasant self-defense forces have been formed in a short period of time!"
After a pause, Wang Husheng continued: "It won't be long before all the Japs in Dashiqiao County will be wiped out, and the Japs' supply line from Dalian to Lushun will be completely cut off by us!"
However, there was not much excitement on Xu Rui's face, and he just let out a light oh when he heard this.
Wang Husheng noticed Xu Rui's abnormality, took a step forward and asked: "Old Xu, you don't seem to be very happy?"
Xu Rui shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Old Wang, I'm not unhappy, but I'm a little worried."
"Worried?" Wang Husheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Xu Rui said: "I'm worried that the battalion commanders below will become slack because of the good situation in the three eastern provinces. Once the Japanese attack with all their strength at this time, we might suffer big losses!"
Wang Husheng said solemnly: "We have to be on guard against this."
Xu Rui said: "In this case, Lao Wang, you go to the west gate immediately, and I'll go to the north gate!"
After a pause, Xu Rui turned back to Leng Tiefeng and said, "Old soldier, go to the east gate!"
"Okay!" Wang Husheng and Leng Tiefeng nodded, and then the three of them quickly left the regiment headquarters and headed to the north gate, west gate and east gate of Fengtian respectively.
…
The troops responsible for defending the blocks outside the north gate have now been replaced by Shi Changqing's fourth battalion.
What Xu Rui was worried about happened indeed. The Japs' attack in the morning was weak and weak. In addition, the situation around Fengtian was now very good, so Shi Changqing took it for granted that the Japs had been defeated by the surging puppet army at this time.
He was so worried about the people's uprising that he no longer had the energy to launch a strong attack on Fengtian, so he inevitably felt a little relaxed. It was still noon, and he actually fell asleep.
When Xu Rui took Zhuo Ligetu to the position outside the north gate, he did not see Shi Changqing.
After asking, he found out that Shi Changqing was actually looking for a place to sleep. Xu Rui asked the deputy commander of the fourth battalion to take him to look for him. After searching for a long time, he finally found Shi Changqing in a private house.
When Xu Rui found him, Shi Changqing was sleeping soundly, with his teeth dripping all over the floor.
"Hey, wake up." Xu Rui kicked Shi Changqing's butt, "Wake up quickly."
"Hey, what are you doing?" Shi Changqing, who was sleeping, pushed Xu Rui's feet away in dissatisfaction and said unhappily, "The little devil didn't come up again. Stop making trouble and let me sleep for a while."
After saying that, Shi Changqing turned over and fell asleep again.
Seeing this, Xu Rui's face immediately darkened.
The deputy commander of the fourth battalion was Ding Li, who was also a veteran of many battles. Seeing Shi Changqing like this, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. He wanted to step forward and shake Shi Changqing awake, but he didn't dare to make a mistake easily.
Xu Rui glanced around and found a crumbling broken wall not far away, so he winked at Zhuoligetu. Zhuoligetu understood, and immediately walked under the broken wall, and then jumped into the air with a vigorous step.
After jumping into the air, he kicked hard to the side, and the broken wall that was about to collapse immediately collapsed with a loud bang.
This loud noise immediately woke up Shi Changqing from his sleep. He turned over and sat up. He also pulled out the twenty-gun box cannon inserted in his waist. A veteran is worthy of being a veteran, and his quality is really good. Even if
As soon as he woke up from his sleep, he instinctively grabbed the weapon in his hand.
"What's going on?" Shi Changqing immediately turned over and sat up. Before he even opened his eyes, he started shouting loudly, "The Japs attacked again? Did the little Japs touch them again? These dogs say
, It really doesn’t make people calm down. Is it easy for me to take a nap? His sister is here to cause trouble again. Let’s see if I can’t destroy them!”
Seeing this, Xu Rui became very angry and said angrily: "You have destroyed the devils. Just like this, before you can kill the devils, the devils will come up and kill you first!"
When Shi Changqing heard this, he suddenly woke up with excitement and shouted: "Captain? Why are you here?"
Xu Rui said coldly: "If I don't come again, you will lose the North Gate position in a daze."
"That's not possible." Shi Changqing immediately said with saliva on his face, "The little devil has been troubled by the traitorous puppet troops and the rebellious elders from the three northeastern provinces. I'm afraid he won't have time to fight us these days. Even if he comes to fight us,
, it can only be a scratchy attack, and we will be beaten back in a few clicks."
"Tickling?" Xu Rui said coldly, "You will know how powerful it is later..."
Before he finished speaking, the roar of an airplane engine suddenly came from the sky ahead.
Shi Changqing and Ding Li raised their heads and took a look, and they suddenly took a breath of air.
"Donkey day!" Shi Changqing took a breath of air-conditioning and said dumbfounded, "This is unscientific. Isn't the little devil crazy today? There are so many planes dispatched at once?!"
In desperation, Shi Changqing said all the mantras he learned from Xu Rui.
Normally, Shi Changqing would only dare to go behind Xu Rui's back and learn his mantra.
Xu Rui's face fell instantly. He had already predicted that Ishihara Wan'er, an old Japanese soldier, would launch an offensive before the situation in the three eastern provinces completely got out of control, trying to get rid of their Chahar Independent Regiment as soon as possible, and then go back to deal with the turmoil in various places.
However, Xu Rui still did not expect that the old devil's hand would be so big!
I saw that the northern sky was almost filled with Japanese planes. In addition to large horizontal bombers, there were also small dive bombers, and even reconnaissance planes and fighter jets. Of course, none of my reconnaissance planes or fighter planes were
Twenty-kilogram aerial bombs were all mounted on the belly and under the wings.
Just the most conservative estimate is that there are hundreds of Japanese planes in the sky ahead!
This is only outside the North Gate. It is completely conceivable that the number of aircraft outside the West Gate and East Gate is about the same!
This means that the Japs deployed at least 300 bombers or fighter jets in just one attack!
"Pass my order, hide, hide quickly!" After Shi Changqing reacted, he immediately gave the order to hide, then turned to Xu Rui and said, "Captain, let's hide Yan too."
Xu Rui groaned and followed Shi Changqing to the underground shelter.
Almost as soon as Xu Rui and the others entered the underground shelter, rows of aerial bombs fell from the sky with ear-piercing screams, and then exploded. They were in the underground shelter and could not see what was on the ground at this moment.
Such a scene, but Xu Rui and the others could feel the intensity of the Japanese bombing through the vibrations on the top of the underground bunker.
In the continuous explosions, the entire underground shelter was shaking slightly, and a large amount of sand fell from the gaps in the logs stretched across the top of the underground shelter. In just a moment, Xu Rui, Shi Changqing and the others were reduced to disgrace.
It's like he just crawled out of the ash heap.
That's not the most insane thing.
About a quarter of an hour after the bombing continued, Xu Rui, Shi Changqing and others who were hiding in the underground bunker suddenly felt an inexplicable heat. In just a moment, large amounts of sweat oozed from their foreheads, faces and bodies.
, the entire underground shelter was as hot as steaming steam.
"Damn it!" Shi Changqing scolded, "You little devil has thrown a brimstone bomb!"
"Definitely!" Ding Li said solemnly, "You kid is openly violating the Geneva Convention!"
"The Geneva Convention? That thing only restrains gentlemen, not villains!" Xu Rui said, "A rogue country and nation like Japan will not abide by such a thing."
"This is troublesome." Shi Changqing frowned and said, "Once the fire burned out, not a single building on the ground remained, only ruins. In this way, most of our shelters were basically destroyed, and the remaining
The buildings below are also crumbling and can no longer provide cover. If the Japanese use tanks to attack again, it will be difficult to fight this battle."
Xu Rui said coldly: "Why, are you afraid of rocks that are not afraid of heaven and earth?"
"Afraid?" Shi Changqing took off his hat, smoothed the short hair on his head, and hummed, "Old Shi, we have never known how to write the word "fear" since we came into this world."
While the two were talking, the shaking in the underground shelter gradually stopped.
However, neither Xu Rui nor Shi Changqing were in a hurry to return to the ground.
The reason for this is also very simple. First, the little devils threw sulfur bombs. At this time, the residential buildings on the ground were still burning fiercely. In such a monstrous fire, even if they got to the ground, they could not stay at all.
Therefore, they could only return to the ground once the fire became slightly smaller.
And then according to the usual style of the little devil, after the aviation bombing is over, the artillery unit must be preparing for the artillery fire. After the artillery bombardment is over, the infantry will be dispatched to launch the final attack. Therefore, now they are hurriedly returning to the surface.
Go up, just in time for the little devil's cannons to explode.
The Chahar Independent Group would not do such stupid things.
Sure enough, after a while, the underground shelter began to tremble again.
The Japanese bombardment lasted for about two hours, and it seemed that the Japanese were serious about it this time.
Half an hour later, the Japanese gunfire finally died down. Shi Changqing smiled at Xu Rui, then grabbed the helmet and put it on his forehead. He was the first to board the wooden ladder that went up to the ground. Then, Xu Rui
He led Zhuoligetu up the wooden ladder to the ground. By this time, the entire surface of the building had already become a mess.
