The 210th Yichang Defensive Battle (6)
But wasn't Sangming Zhuonan defeated by the air force of the Southern Expeditionary Army! As soon as they retreated, this air became the sky of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
There is a saying that meat is full of mouths, and the mouth is full of oil, which is Zhang Fei's mood at this time. Zhang Fei shouted: "According to the original tactics, throw them one by one, and throw all the bombs on the plane." β
Starting with Zhang Fei, he piloted the Y-8 transport plane and landed at an altitude of 3,000 meters, controlling the plane at the slowest level. At this height, it's a three-year heavy machine gun, and there's nothing left about these transport aircraft. The 13th Division did not have anti-aircraft guns, and even if there were anti-aircraft guns, they would have rusted a long time ago, because there was no opportunity to use them at all.
According to an area demarcated in his mind, Zhang Fei wanted to fly in a straight line line by line. "The bomb dropping beginsβ" Zhang Fei ordered.
The bombardier used manual bomb dropping on the bomb assembly line, and only needed to calculate the time: isn't the plane able to fly 68 meters per second at its slowest speed! Then the killing radius of the 50-kilogram bomb is about 70 meters, that is to say, if you drop a bomb in two seconds, there is basically no dead angle in this line. If you drop a bomb in a second, there will be overlap.
The bombardier is also very smart, if it is the enemy's artillery position, then focus on taking care of it, after all, people play with steel! is also considered a peer, and peers are enemies. If it is infantry, sappers, and baggage soldiers, then give him less food and less occupation, and it doesn't matter if he is so-so, and it doesn't matter if he lives a little longer.
After throwing this line, the plane turned back and pushed to the side, 140 meters apart, and bombed a straight line. The Y-8 transport aircraft had a carrying capacity of 20 tons, and it was impossible to carry a full load of 20 tons of bombs, but at least it was loaded with fifteen or six tons.
This is all the masterpiece of Han Xing, the bombardier only cares about calculating the time and dropping the bomb distance, and the other fighters only care about carrying the bomb to the assembly line. It wasn't until it got on the assembly line that the fuse of the bomb was turned on.
The Japanese Army's Type 99 bombers were loaded with only 500 kilograms of bombs, and the difference between these 500 kilograms and 15 or 6 tons was nearly 30 times.
Zhang Fei's transport plane finished dropping bombs, followed by transport plane No. 02, then transport plane No. 03, and transport plane No. 04.
Why don't the four planes bomb together, because they are afraid of crashing in the air, and if they accidentally crash into the car, then it will be a big trouble.
Looking at the position of the 13th Division, it was miserable, a straight line passed, the fire was shining, the field was rumbling, and clouds of black smoke rose into the air. As long as they were covered in darkness, the cannons fell apart, the infantry were torn apart, the pickaxes of the sappers flew into the sky, the mules and horses of the baggage soldiers were blown to the bone, and those who were not killed were frightened and ran around in fright......
Helplessly, it's really only a bombing, my dear air force, where have you gone? Now we want air supremacy, but what about air supremacy? How did it become a backward Chinese. In the face of the powerful air raids, the army could only look at the sky and sigh, and became a lamb to the slaughter......
Shizuichi Tanaka of the 13th Division could only look at the sky ravaged by the Chinese Air Force and let out a sad lament......
At this time, there was a cheer on the position of the guard battalion. The 18th Division of the 18th Army, which had just arrived, gave heartfelt cheers in the trenches: "Whoop -- our air force has won -- " "Whoop -- the little devil has lost his temper -- " "Whoop -- has grown up the ambition of our Chinese -- "
The soldiers of the Second Regiment of the People's Regiment who did not flee also shouted with joy. In particular, Xiao Diao Chan was even more happy to jump high, she raised her little hand and shouted happily: "Whoa, girls, look, the little devils are like the eight lambs of the king, and they also have today!" β
The girls stood up together and jumped and shouted, "Whew-the little devil is defeated, the little devil is defeated-"
was so frightened that Li Dazhong hurriedly shouted: "Come down, come down, all go to the trenches." The battle isn't over yetβ"
As he was talking, a stray bullet flew and a girl from the militia fell.
The sound of gunfire woke the forgetful girls, and they all went into the trenches. Look at the girl who dragged it down, her heart has stopped beating. A vicious 6.5mm Type 38 bullet hit her heart, and the blood dried up in an instant, and her heart stopped beating.
It was still alive just now, but in the blink of an eye, a living life disappeared like this.
Xiao Diao Chan cried, and his face, which had long been blackened by the thick smoke, appeared one after another tear stains at this time. She cried and said, "Sister Yu, I promised you, when you earn enough money, I will marry you a good family, and I will never do this kind of business again...... But why did you just leave? Why can't we wait for this day...... Hateful little devil, I'm not done with you...... Sisters, they killed our jade sister, and we want revenge! β
"We want revenge!" "We're going to kill the little devils!" "We're going to cut off their guys and see how dark and long it is."
Angry revenge rang out.
The Y-8-transport planes that finished the air raid flew away, and the J-20 fighters covering them also flew away, and they also needed to go back to refueling, loading, and maintenance.
On Shizuichi Tanaka's position, he slowly regained his vitality and had the hope of surviving. Tanaka Shizuichi looked at the sea of fire, the blackened positions burned everywhere, and kept shaking his head and sighing.
The staff officers who did not die came up one after another to report the approximate losses after the air raid. "Report to Your Excellency Tanaka, 36 75-mm guns of the artillery wing, 14 were blown up. There were also many losses in the artillery of the various infantry wings. β
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, ......" It hurt so much that Tanaka Shizuichi's heart was burning, the artillery was the teeth of the 13th Division, and without teeth, how could he gnaw at the hard Yichang City.
Another staff officer came and reported: "Your Excellency Tanaka, the transport truck brigade of the baggage wing has lost more than fifty vehicles, and one squadron leader is crushed. More than 500 horses were blown up and nearly 200 horses were killed. β
"Wow, wow, wow, wow......" The pain made Shizuichi Tanaka let out another cry of pain. The baggage wing consisted of a truck brigade and a mule-horse cart brigade. The truck brigade consists of 2 to 3 squadrons, each with a maximum of 50 trucks carrying 1.5 tons. The mule and horse cart brigade is the mule and horse, and the baggage brigade is equipped with a total of 500 heavy mules and horses.
This is the transport force leading to the rear, if these transport equipment are lost, it is to capture Yichang, what to eat, what to drink, and what to supply ammunition, this will become a big problem.
"Report Your Excellency Tanaka, our four infantry wings, each of which has to lose more than 1,000 people, is even greater than the losses that have been fought to Yichang along the way."
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, ......" Tanaka Shizuichi was even more unbearable, along the way through the pass, the battle has always prevailed, but I didn't expect an air raid by the Southern Expeditionary Army, which made itself a rout, and suffered such a big loss.
But what kind of person is Shizuichi Tanaka, he is the commander of the famous 13th Division! What is the 13th Division for, it is the pride of the Japanese army!
The 13th Division, Sakhalin was captured in the Russo-Japanese War. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Jiangyin and the Nanjing Massacre. In particular, the 65th Wing was fierce and cruel, slaughtering prisoners of war in China and civilians in Nanjing, more than 70,000 people.
Now, the 13th Shuai Regiment has finally hit here, can it be scared by the air force of the Southern Expeditionary Army in Yichang City? No, absolutely not, to fall a Japanese, to pay back with the lives of 10, 100 Chinese!
Shizuichi Tanaka let out a hysterical cry in his heart.
When a staff officer came to report the loss, Tanaka was annoyed and shouted loudly: "Yaga! I don't want any loss figures, I want Yichang, Yichang City-"
The 13th Division had already placed the 103rd Infantry Wing and the 65th Wing of the 104th Brigade in front of the formation to serve as the first round of the attack. But at such a time, it is necessary to wipe the sharpest spearhead of the 13th Division again.
Shizuchi Tanaka called the 65th Wing Commander Kazuki Nakamura to him and yelled at him loudly: "Your 65th Wing is the pride of our 13th Division, and it is the most capable unit of our 13th Division. We fought all the way and finally got here, and your 65th Wing has made great achievements. It's time to show your strength, Nakamura Kazuki Daisa, what are you going to do in the face of this little Yichang? β
Nakamura Kazuki stood up and said loudly to Tanaka Jing: "Report to Your Excellency the Commander of the Tanaka Division, we will use our steely fists to fight into Yichang and wipe out the Chinese to the point that there is not a single piece of armor left." β
"Yo Si! Yo West! Tanaka Shizuichi looked approvingly at his right-hand man, "After attacking Yichang City, I will wear the highest medal of honor of the empire on your chest, and I will go to the Supreme Command to ask for credit for you!" β
"Thank you, Your Excellency General Tanaka! Thank you, Your Excellency General Tanaka! Nakamura Kazuki bowed vigorously, showing respect for General Shizuichi Tanaka.
Although the Japanese artillery wing suffered huge losses, they concentrated all their artillery fire and provided fire support to the infantry wing before the attack of the 104th and 65th wings of the infantry wing. At the division and regiment level, the Japanese army had an artillery squadron in addition to a specialized artillery wing.
This artillery squadron was composed of 122 men, including a 25-man squadron headquarters, 1 observation squad, a 31-man ammunition platoon, and three 31-man gun platoons (each with two 15-man gun squads, each equipped with 1 70mm 92 infantry gun).
In the Japanese infantry brigade, there was also a 55-man artillery platoon (one 10-man platoon, one 15-man ammunition squad, and two 15-man artillery squads each equipped with a 70mm Type 92 infantry gun).
Therefore, the Japanese attack, every time they faced the Chinese army, they had a great advantage. Where the advantage is, the main thing is the advantage of artillery fire.
If the Southern Expeditionary Army is not there, this is another one-sided offensive situation, but since the Southern Expeditionary Army is here, it is another matter.
As soon as the Japanese artillery was fired, the observation post in front saw it at such a close position, and immediately quietly reported the enemy's artillery position to Hou Dashan's mechanized regiment.
