Chapter Seventy-Eight: Air Raid Before Crossing the River

Yang Jing went down the high ground and called the herald to order: "Order the artillery to enter the position and stand by, and inform all companies to pay attention to concealment, in case the Japanese fighters attack!" ”

"Yes!"

The herald saluted and took the order.

The big battle was imminent, and Yang Jing was patrolling the forward position along the traffic trench.

The forward position is about a kilometer or so away from the Songjiang wharf.

At this distance, it was easy to avoid the threat of Japanese light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers on the other side of the river.

The defenders, on the other hand, deployed more than a dozen heavy machine-gun positions on high points nearby.

At a distance of 1,000 meters, submachine guns and rifles will definitely not be able to hit such far, and even if the rifle can hit such a distance, it will not have any lethality, let alone accuracy.

But the Maxim heavy machine gun is different, 1000 meters is its absolutely effective killing distance.

A network of crossfire formed by a dozen heavy machine guns could easily cover the river near the Songjiang pier.

Guarding the forward positions were the first and second companies of the Huben battalion, plus a squadron of the Songjiang Security Brigade, with a number of about 1,000 people.

This time, the main reason why Yang Jing also deployed those straw bales of the Songjiang security team was to fight two tough battles, quickly accumulate combat experience, and achieve the role of actual combat training.

Because, if you want to hold Songjiang, it is far from enough to rely on the strength of his tiger battalion, and the combat effectiveness of the straw bales of the security team must also be squeezed out.

At this time, it is lunchtime.

The soldiers on the forward positions gathered in groups of three or five, and they placed their guns and chairs full of bullets on the walls of the trenches, and squatted in the trenches to eat.

Some of the soldiers moved a little faster, had already eaten their meals, and chatted while smoking.

"I heard that in the past, Chief Yang didn't spend money to visit the kiln in Baoshan?"

It was the security team's straw bales who said this.

A soldier from the Tiger Ben Battalion answered: "Our battalion commander doesn't just spend money on visiting the kiln, can he still fool Sister Yao's money into his own pocket?" ”

When the soldiers saw Yang Jing inspecting over, they immediately stopped their voices one by one and stood up to salute.

"Hello battalion commander!"

"Hello sir!"

Yang Jing happened to hear the soldiers chatting just now, he walked over and smiled: "Heh! You guys, dare to make fun of Lao Tzu, you all want to be beaten, right? ”

A second lieutenant platoon commander of the second company said with a smile: "Battalion commander, how dare the brothers say bad things about you, everyone envies your ability to pick up girls." ”

"Ge Laozi, are you envious?"

Yang Jing began to brag like a river, and said proudly: "Lao Tzu is so handsome and chic, majestic, where does he go, isn't it the scenery that attracts the attention of the girl the most?"

It's not that Lao Tzu is blowing with you, why doesn't Lao Tzu just go to the kiln without spending money? The kiln sisters have to fight and be jealous when they see Lao Tzu going, and quarrels and fights are common.

The women who want to marry Lao Tzu are enough to form a women's reinforcement camp. ”

The soldiers looked at Yang Jing with admiration, and the battalion commander was really awesome.

"Battalion commander, are you talking about an inflatable daughter-in-law?"

Yang Jing was immersed in his own, unable to extricate himself, and when he heard this sentence, he almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

He looked for prestige, looked at Niu Dazhuang who was speaking, showed a gloomy expression, and said coldly: "Niu Dazhuang, your inflatable daughter-in-law is gone." ”

"Ah???h

Niu Dazhuang looked confused: "Battalion commander, I was wrong!" ”

"Buzz!"

"Buzz! ——”

Suddenly, the roar of an airplane engine came, and Yang Jing followed the prestige and saw more than a dozen Japanese fighters rushing from the direction of Hangzhou Bay.

"Enemy planes are coming, pay attention to concealment, pay attention to concealment! Hurry, hurry! ”

Yang Jing opened his voice and reminded loudly.

The defenders grabbed their weapons and burrowed into the cat's ear holes in the trenches.

The so-called cat's ear hole is to dig a cave in the shape of a cat's ear hole on the wall of the trench for the soldiers to hide.

The trenches of the Tiger Ben Camp are also very particularly built, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, winding and twisting.

In this way, the threat of air raids or artillery bombardment by the enemy army can be greatly reduced.

That is to say, Yang Jing has both sapper proficiency and defensive warfare proficiency, otherwise, where would he have thought of these in his previous pig brain.

The formation of devil fighters roared in, and in the blink of an eye, these planes flew over the Huangpu River.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the bombing and the efficiency of the dive strafing, the devil pilots reduced the cruising altitude to an extremely low value, and the ground distance was even less than 200 meters, and this altitude continued to decrease as the distance was closer.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da! ——”

The Devil fighters were the first to open fire and dive and strafe the forward positions of the Tiger Battalion.

At the same time, the devil bomber also opened the bomb compartment in the belly of the plane and began to bomb it.

I saw that the bombs were like hens laying eggs, one after another falling from the belly of the plane.

"Hurricane!"

"Hurricane, hurricane! ——”

With a screeching sound of breaking through the air, the bombs smashed down on the defenders' defensive lines, and several more bombs landed on the tidal flats on the north bank of the Yellow River.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

The bombs exploded continuously, and huge flames rose into the air.

In an instant, the defenders' positions were blown open one by one, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the sky.

Patches of dirt and gravel scattered in all directions along with the shock wave from the explosion.

In particular, the bombs that landed on the tidal flats on the north bank of the Huangpu River were even more shocking because the ground was full of silt, and the huge craters generated after the explosion were even more shocking.

The devil's air raid lasted for more than ten minutes, and after all the bombs and airborne machine gun shells were dumped, they returned in a huff.

According to Yang Jing's instructions, the defenders dug and built complete and strong fortifications in advance.

Therefore, the air raid of the devils seemed to be fierce, but the casualties caused to the defenders were not much.

Only a few of the defenders who were closer to the bomb landing point were shocked and suffered internal injuries.

Immediately after the air raid, the soldiers of the Tiger Camp shook the dirt on their bodies and heads like marmots, and got out of the cat's ear holes.

On the other hand, the preparations for the 6th Division of the Japanese Army were almost underway.

Artillery positions, machine-gun positions, all were built.

The devil sappers and baggage soldiers began to busily build pontoon bridges, and fishing boats and rubber boats were also pushed into the river on the shore.
