Chapter XXVII: Letter from the Commander of the Investigation Mission
"Hit!" The cheers of his comrades were heard in the headphones, and the enemy plane that was hit ignited a raging flame, and it seemed that the devil was doomed this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info it's time to abandon the plane and skydive, right? Pang Mengwen couldn't hold back the pride in his heart, he wanted to enjoy the wonderful picture of the devil pilot abandoning the plane and parachuting before leaving.
Sure enough, at the critical moment, the devil pilot resolutely chose to parachute to escape. A black dot popped out of the cabin, turning into a large white flower with the wind, the parachute opened, and the Japanese pilot abandoned the plane and successfully parachuted. However, a successful skydive is not the same as a successful escape. Just as Pang Mengwen was about to leave, a plane suddenly appeared diagonally below, startling him, who is this?
When I saw the blue sky and white sun markings on the wings, I knew that it was a certain plane of my squadron. I saw that the plane was flying and shooting, and the white flowers in the sky suddenly began to sway back and forth, left and right. The pilot under the umbrella swung a few times, and our plane quickly left the scene of the incident.
Pang Mengwen couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it. Of course, he understands the hatred of the soldiers against the Japanese invaders, but it seems a bit unforgiving to everyone if they have parachuted and we will catch up and fight again, right? Of course, even if Pang Mengwen is not used to it, he will never blame his comrades-in-arms for this kind of thing. The warriors hate the devil, and what kind of affection does he have for the devil?
After serving in the army for such a long time, how many belligerent and friendly brothers died at the gunpoint of the Japanese invaders, and how many innocent people were brutally killed by the Japanese invaders for no reason? It can be said that Pang Mengwen's hatred for Japanese devils is no worse than anyone else's. Therefore, when he saw his comrades-in-arms driving a plane to chase and kill the Japanese parachuting pilot, he did not feel angry, but felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, and he had a little bit of hatred for iron and steel.
Another Japanese plane rushed through the spur, and Pang immediately concentrated his energy and strength to deal with this new enemy.
The air battle lasted more than 30 minutes, and when the two sides finally withdrew their troops, our troops lost 10 planes and the Japanese lost 3 planes. Five of our troops were wounded, and four of the Japanese were wounded. In terms of casualties, the Japanese aircraft had an absolute advantage.
However, the Japanese invaders were originally a long-distance attack, but because they were entangled in this unexpected air battle, they were delayed, resulting in a lack of fuel and had to return early. As a result, the front-line units of our army suffered one less major bombardment, and countless personnel and materials were saved, but the success or failure of this could not be calculated.
While our air force fighters were engaged in an aerial strangulation battle with the Japanese fighters with a fierce fighting spirit and fearless spirit, the ground troops led by Ren Laifeng were also engaged in a fierce battle of blood and fire with the Japanese invaders gathered here.
Although the 138th Division and the 139th Division were newly added by the Japanese Army in the later period, their combat effectiveness and soldiers could not be compared with those of the earlier Class A divisions, but the combined strength of these two divisions was more than 30,000 people, and their strength should not be underestimated.
The number of divisions dispatched by our army was slightly more than that of the Japanese invaders, but in terms of the quality of their personnel, they were not much worse than those of the Japanese invaders. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the 138th and 139th divisions together are not as good as the 8th Division, which was withdrawn in the summer.
Ren Laifeng led the troops to fight with the two divisions of the Japanese invaders, and even had a slight advantage in attacking each other. Of course, it will be even more difficult for our army to win by virtue of this advantage.
With so many people fighting, how much does it cost to eat and drink every day? Ren Laifeng couldn't help tossing like this even if he had money, and after half a month of development, there was no hope of victory, and Ren Laifeng's temper gradually became irritable.
Compared with Ren Laifeng, Count Yoshida is obviously a little more anxious. The battle has been fought for so long, and Ren Laifeng's side still has a little advantage, but Count Yoshida is at a disadvantage! A week after the official start of the war, Count Yoshida had the cheekiness to ask Yamada Otozo for reinforcements. As a result, after sneering at Lieutenant General Yoshida, Commander Yamada sent him a large brigade of reinforcements.
If this brigade were sent within a week of the start of the war, it might still play a role in deciding the outcome of the battle. But now, with the addition of this brigade, it is just that the scene of the Japanese army is not too ugly.
Count Yoshida was bitter, bitter he held an old tree root, sat in the headquarters with a knife and played with the root carving. To say that the old Yoshida really has a little artistic cell, this old tree root has been carefully carved by him for more than ten days, and there is already a little bit of abstract art.
Outside, there was a knock on the door, followed by someone shouting at the door. The Earl put down the knife and stood up, looked left and right around the root carving and nodded with satisfaction, and then said without raising his eyelids: "Please come in." ”
As soon as the door opened, a Japanese officer wearing the rank of Shaozo came in from outside, "General, I have important information to report to you!" ”
The Earl looked at Shaozo who came in in surprise, "Oh, it's Yamaguchi-kun." What are the important information? ”
"Ren Laifeng's backbone general, Ling Juzheng, the head of the Major General Investigation Regiment, has sent you a secret letter."
"Ling Juzheng? He wrote me a letter? Count Yoshida took the letter from Yamaguchi Shaosa's hand suspiciously, opened it and read it word by word. The Earl's level of Sinology is quite high, and he can read this letter by himself alone.
Yoshida looked at the letter, the expression on his face was happy for a while and solemn for a while, and when he finished reading it, he closed his eyes and was stunned without a sound. This was a long time in a daze, and when he finally woke up from his dementia, Yamaguchi Shaoza's feet were numb and his eyelids were sore.
"What do you think of the conflict between Ling Juzheng and Ren Laifeng?" Count Yoshida asked coldly.
Yamaguchi Shaozo hurriedly told the inside story he knew: "Ten days ago, when Ren Laifeng led the troops to come here by train, there was a scout sitting on the top of the train who was seriously injured by freezing because Ling Juzheng forgot to give the order to retreat. Ren Laifeng said that Ling Juzheng was derelict in his duties and did not care about the suffering of the soldiers, and removed Ling Juzheng from his post as the head of the reconnaissance regiment. ”
"Dereliction of duty? Well, for a general who loves to nurse soldiers, it is indeed dereliction of duty on the part of an officer who causes accidental injuries to a soldier due to personal negligence. ”
"However, at this time, the removal of Ling Juzheng from the post of head of the reconnaissance regiment is quite suspicious." Yamaguchi Shaosa is not afraid to properly explain his opinion in front of the Earl, indicating that he is also a person who loves to think.
"What you say makes sense, but it doesn't apply to any wind." Yoshida immediately shook his head and denied Shaosa's point of view.
