At ten o'clock in the morning, the pharmaceutical factory was as usual, with machines roaring.
Workers, technicians... gathered around the machinery and equipment, busy with their own affairs, in an orderly manner...
At the end of the production line, a tube of penicillin is produced and packed into a special box.
A box of ten penicillins, and then put the box into the box.
"Woooooooo..."
Suddenly, a harsh alarm sounded in the workshop.
Most of the workers are from nearby areas, have experienced several air raids, and are very familiar with air defense sirens.
He immediately became anxious and shouted out loud: "It's an air defense siren. It must be the Japanese planes coming to bomb Chongqing again..."
"Everyone, run, run for your life. The plane is too powerful. It will blow up a large area. If we don't run away, we will definitely be targeted by the plane and be blown up to death here."
The factory suddenly fell into chaos, and their strong desire to survive made them forget all the rules of the pharmaceutical factory.
At this moment, they only have one thought in their hearts: get out of here and spread out as much as possible.
If possible, it is best to hide in a bomb shelter.
"Da da da……"
Five soldiers from the factory protection team rushed in. Seeing the chaotic situation, the leader of the squad raised his submachine gun and fired a shuttle over his head.
Shocked by gunfire, the situation finally stabilized.
Everyone looked at the squad leader who had just fired, nervous and worried.
"Why are you panicking? Our pharmaceutical factory has air-raid shelters."
"And the air defense sirens sound more than ten minutes in advance. No matter how fast the little Japanese plane is, it will take ten minutes to arrive."
"Besides, even if the Japanese plane comes over, it will bomb an important target in Chongqing. How can it patronize our small pharmaceutical factory, a place with no military value? Isn't this a waste of artillery shells?"
"You all obey my order. In order to prevent accidents, everyone lined up. We went to the air raid shelter to avoid the air raid."
"If anyone messes up again, disrupts the morale of the army, and spreads rumors, the submachine gun in my hand will definitely take his life before the Japanese planes do."
The chaotic pharmaceutical factory slowly became orderly.
The workers evacuated to the nearest air raid shelter in an orderly manner.
The technicians, the core soldiers of the garrison battalion, were so nervous that they carried the raw materials and materials that had not been used up in the factory and sent them to the air-raid shelter, including deputy factory director Lin Xinran.
"Weng buzz..."
Ten minutes later, the roar of the plane arrived as promised.
It was very weak at first, and then gradually became deafening. Then, a large number of black spots appeared on the edge of the sky, making it a large area of darkness.
"The Japs bomber group is coming, all the remaining people should go into the air-raid shelter." Xiao Yuan, who stayed behind at the pharmaceutical factory, shouted.
Commandos, soldiers from the garrison battalion, began a final search of the pharmaceutical factory, rushing to the air raid shelter whenever they saw anyone.
The bomber group was getting closer and closer, and at least a hundred bombers were flying over in overwhelming numbers.
When everyone thought that the pharmaceutical factory would not become a bombing target and that the aircraft fleet would definitely pass over everyone's heads, an accident happened.
At least ten planes suddenly separated from the fleet, lost power instantly, and swerved towards the pharmaceutical factory at very high speeds.
"Weng buzzing...wuwuwu..."
The roar became louder and louder, making everyone's ears ring, and then the screams followed and reached the ground.
More than a dozen bombs fell from the sky and hit the ground.
"Rumble..."
The ground trembled violently, as if an earthquake had occurred, and then an explosion sounded on the battlefield.
Fireballs and black smoke rose into the sky from the ground.
The blown earth, rocks, bricks, wood, and soldiers from the garrison were flying everywhere like goddesses scattering flowers.
The two factories were instantly razed to the ground, leaving only a few broken walls.
A large crater with a depth of more than three meters was blasted in the middle of the broken wall, and the surrounding land was completely scorched and pitch black.
Three more bombs fell around the wall of the pharmaceutical factory. The explosion sounded, and three huge gaps of thirty to forty meters long were blown out of the wall.
More bombs hit the sentries surrounding the pharmaceutical factory.
The four sentries disappeared instantly and were blown away without a trace.
Several sentries were blown up, leaving only a few broken walls.
As for the hidden fortifications around the sentry post, all were exposed by the bombing at this time, and many of the fortifications had been razed to the ground.
The soldiers of the garrison camp hiding inside were dying, injured, and almost lost their combat effectiveness.
This is just the beginning.
Just after one round of bombing, more than a dozen planes were like hungry wolves smelling the smell of blood. Their roars were like their roars, and they rushed towards the ground desperately, faster and faster.
They stopped two to three hundred meters above the ground, and each rushed towards their bombing target.
The Japanese obviously knew that the pharmaceutical factory did not have anti-aircraft firepower, so they bombed it very recklessly, directly using low-altitude bombing to increase the bomb hit rate.
Around the pharmaceutical factory, guard booths were razed to the ground one after another.
Inside the pharmaceutical factory, one building after another was bombed into rubble.
Xiao Yuan stood guard at the entrance of the air-raid shelter, with a heartbroken expression on his face.
The entire pharmaceutical factory was built brick by brick by the team leader, which is a reflection of the efforts of the team leader and everyone else.
But now, these efforts are coming to naught bit by bit.
"Da da da……"
Between explosions, a series of gunshots caught Xiao Yuan's attention.
But the black smoke rising from the pharmaceutical factory was too dense. Through the smoke, even with a telescope, he couldn't see anything, so he could only worry.
“Boom, boom, boom… da da da…”
The gunfire coming from the explosions became more and more intense. Although Xiao Yuan still couldn't see anything, he was very sure: in addition to the plane bombing, the pharmaceutical factory was also attacked by some unknown enemies, and this attack was premeditated.
"They must be little Japs. They are the only ones who know the specific time of the bombing. They then ambush around the pharmaceutical factory in advance. After the bombing begins, they take the opportunity to enter the pharmaceutical factory under the cover of the plane." Xiao Yuan judged with a stern face.
A soldier from the garrison rushed over, breathing heavily.
His body was blackened by gunpowder smoke, his clothes were torn to pieces, and there were several wounds that were bleeding out.
"Battal Commander, there is an enemy attacking the pharmaceutical factory to the east. There are at least a hundred people on the enemy side, equipped with rifles and light machine guns. They are very powerful!"
"The outer defense line of the pharmaceutical factory has been breached. The troops suffered heavy casualties. There are still more than a dozen people who have retreated into the pharmaceutical factory and are making a final defense!"
"Da da da……"
Suddenly, a series of gunshots rang out less than fifty meters away from Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan's expression changed immediately.
"No, there is an air-raid shelter there. The Japs who were killed in the pharmaceutical factory must have discovered it."
"They hate the pharmaceutical factory so much that once they are allowed to break in, the workers and technicians hiding inside will definitely suffer."
"The guard platoon of the garrison camp, rush over immediately. We must block the little devil's attack."
"There is the main force five kilometers away. As long as we hold on for an hour, the Japanese will definitely retreat."
