Looking at the bomber exploding directly in the air, the Japanese fighter pilots who were maneuvering with anti-aircraft fire suddenly felt angry boiling. The failure to cover the bombers naturally lies with the fighter squadron.

On the other hand, the air defense company, which was engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese fighters, was very excited. The fighters who were in charge of controlling the anti-aircraft machine guns and cannons did their best to shoot the bullets and cannonballs in the chambers into the air.

In the face of the dense anti-aircraft fire formed over the presidential palace, there were also shells that constantly hit high altitudes from the garden. The squadron of fighters, which had been ordered to carry out the bombing mission, also became crazy, and several fighters went straight to the garden.

When the machine gun bullets of the fighter jets shot a straight chain of fire along the pit gun position, the machine gunners deployed on the garden floor also said frantically: "Shoot the shells over the garden and cover the company commander!" ”

The shooters who stayed in the pit gun position were powerless to resist the bullets that entered the gun position. After it fell, the shooter who stayed next to him said with tears in his eyes: "Change, keep shooting, and avenge the dead brother!" ”

At the same time, the Japanese fighters who ventured to dive and strafe were also hit by the machine guns on the floors deployed near the garden. Looking at the plane that exploded into the presidential palace, the soldiers of the air defense company also felt extremely relieved.

The fighters of the air defense company were constantly killed by the Japanese fighters, and the Japanese fighters were constantly shot, some began to smoke, and some began to sway. Over the entire presidential palace, the dense anti-aircraft fire became extremely fierce.

It is very clear that the air defense company is defending the airspace of the presidential palace with blood, although Hu Biao did not say anything, his fists were clenched all the time. At this time, the bombers at high altitudes had to avoid those anti-aircraft shells that hit high altitudes.

Until there were fewer anti-aircraft guns fired from the ground, and soon bombers were pouring bombs from high altitudes. As these bombs were thrown into the presidential palace, explosions were heard again in the presidential palace, which was already full of gunfire, and some low-rise buildings were blown up.

But more shells fell on the periphery of the presidential palace. As the bombers began to drop bombs, the surviving fighters had no choice but to dodge. If they really want to be hit by bomber shells, their fighters will definitely not be able to carry it.

Sadao Ushijima, who was watching the battle from the periphery, was shocked and shocked when he looked at the bomber that was blown up and the fighter plane that was shot down again. He knew very well how much courage it would take for an air defense unit to shoot at a squadron of fighters.

When the bombers began to dump the explosives they were carrying into the presidential palace in batches, the constant sound of explosions also shocked the defenders staying in the bomb shelter. But they all knew that it wouldn't last long.

The only good news is that many of the bombs landed on the edge of the presidential palace, and some even missed. Even so, they could see the crumbling buildings and the sound of cascading explosions.

Seeing this scene, Sadao Ushijima also said in a timely manner: "Notify the heavy artillery brigade and prepare to carry out the artillery bombardment!" The attacking troops were ordered, and the attack was launched immediately after the artillery fire was extended. Fight for a force to capture the enemy-occupied presidential palace. ”

"Hey!"

As Ushijima Sadao gave the order for the artillery bombardment, Qin Tianyou and the others, who were staying in the forward blocking position to watch the battle, soon saw a sudden whistling sound in front of them. The sentry in charge of the observation immediately screamed: "Shelling! Take cover! Quickly stealth! ”

When the words fell, the shells came in an instant. When the shell landed on the ruins and made a huge explosion, Qin Tianyou, who was covering his ears, couldn't help but scold: "Damn, it's a heavy artillery!" This is in trouble! ”

And Hu Biao, who was staying in the presidential palace at the moment, also heard the shelling from the forward position. Fortunately, at this time, the bombers who dropped bombs in the air seemed to have dropped all the bombs they carried, and all those fighters stayed on the periphery.

When it was confirmed that the imp bombers had turned around and were ready to leave, the Japanese fighters had made a comeback. Hu Biao still strictly ordered that the troops staying in the air-raid shelter were not allowed to go out, and if they went out at this time, they would only become live targets.

After the bombing, the presidential palace can no longer see the magnificence of the past, and many side courtyards have been completely blown up. Thankfully, several buildings in the center have successfully avoided the bombardment of the little devils.

Although some anti-aircraft fire was destroyed, when the Japanese fighters dived and fired again, the machine guns in the building were fired again. For a while, the Japanese fighters who wanted to make up for the deflated sword also found that it was cheap and not good.

In the course of the previous fierce fighting, they rushed to destroy several anti-aircraft artillery positions in the garden, and also paid the price for the crash of two fighters. In addition to the bombers that were blown up, the formation of the aircraft group that carried out the bombing mission this time lost three fighters.

What made the commander of the fighter squadron most angry was that most of the fighters who were staying at high altitude at the moment and did not dare to dive again had been hit by anti-aircraft fire. Although it can still stay in the air, it is no longer easy to risk diving shots.

Seeing that there was still anti-aircraft fire in several buildings in the center of the presidential palace, the squadron leader of the fighter could only helplessly say: "Withdraw!" Damn, the army has heavy artillery, why not just launch an artillery bombardment of the presidential palace? ”

In order to cooperate with the army in capturing the presidential palace, the army lost eight fighters in two air raids. Many of the fighters that participated in the war had to be overhauled after returning. Such a result undoubtedly made the Japanese pilots feel angry.

It wasn't until the Japanese fighter formation finally reluctantly turned around and left that Hu Biao ordered: "Rush to repair the fortifications and send people to the garden to rescue the wounded." As long as they were still alive, all of them were brought back, and the bodies of the sacrificed were also brought back. ”

Knowing that the little devil was shelling the forward positions, Hu Biao could also guess that the Japanese army's general attack on the presidential palace was about to start. At such a time, sending troops to rescue the forward positions will not be of much use, but should use the time to repair the collapsed fortifications.

After conveying the order to several officers around him, Hu Biao continued: "Second bolt, let the air defense company adjust the machine gun cannon to flat fire, and only keep a few machine guns on air defense alert. After suffering such a big loss, the little devil plane should not come again! ”

Unlike the tanks and armored vehicles equipped by the little devils, at this moment, the Japanese planes are more allocated to naval aviation. The number of air forces of the Japanese army aviation units is still not much. Even if you change your outfit and model, you have to rank behind the naval air force.

Losing so many fighters at one time, I believe that the army aviation commander of the little devil will also feel distressed. Continue to send planes to help in the war, and if there are any more losses, I am afraid that the commander of the army aviation will not be able to bear such losses.

Now that the army has launched an artillery bombardment, it means that the ground offensive is about to begin. At this time, the little devils sent planes to help in the war, and they did not play a big role. In the end, it is the infantry responsible for the offensive that really solves the battle.

According to the earlier division of labor, Chen Gongshu was in charge of intelligence and logistics, while the rest of the officers and men stationed at the presidential palace rushed out of the air-raid shelter as soon as possible to repair and strengthen the bombed fortifications and machine gun forts, and replace the blown up machine guns.

At the same time, Hu Biao gave the mountain artillery company another order to counterattack with artillery fire. The mountain artillery company can't hit the little devil's heavy artillery position at all, so counterattack the little devil's mountain artillery unit and share the firepower for the blocking position.

As for the mortar platoon, under Hu Biao's order, they came to the side of the blocking position to set up a position, provide artillery cover for the blocking position that was being subjected to shelling, and give more support to the blocking troops, so that they could safely withdraw to the presidential palace.

The mountain artillery company, which pulled out the artillery from the concealment and quickly laid out the artillery position, calculated the location of the Japanese mountain artillery brigade based on the shells that fell to the blocking position. After the calculation, each cannon quickly adjusted its angle and direction.

When everything was ready, the company commander of the mountain artillery company immediately said: "The gunner is in position, ready!" ”

Compared with the previous withdrawal after firing five shells, Hu Biao did not give them the order to withdraw after the battle. This means that after the mountain artillery company begins to counterattack, it must also pay attention to the Japanese artillery counterattack.

But the battle has already been fought to this extent, and even if the mountain artillery company returns to the presidential palace, I am afraid that it will not play much role. In this case, it is better to take advantage of the Japanese artillery counterattack and dump more shells onto the Japanese artillery positions.

In this way, the tenacious fighting spirit of the anti-Japanese artillery was demonstrated to the people and the Japanese army. As for these mountain guns, when the mountain artillery battery is unable to erect artillery, all artillery will be destroyed by itself. From the very beginning, the fate of artillery was already sealed.

"Brothers, how dangerous the situation is now, I believe the brothers know it in their hearts. When the shelling begins, I hope you will be able to fire as many shells as you can with the fastest speed and the most fearless courage.

You have seen the performance of the other brothers before. The brothers of the air defense company beat so many little devils' fighters, they gave up their lives to beat the little devils' planes away, we can't lose to them, let alone be sorry for them! ”

"Yes, company commander!"

"This should be the last battle of our mountain artillery company, brothers, I will fight with you to the end, cannonball preparation!"

Shouting these words, the commander of the mountain artillery company didn't say anything more, he just wanted to tell these soldiers in a practical way that he, the temporarily appointed artillery company commander, would not run, and would fight with them until the end when there was no artillery to fight.

"One shot is ready! The second artillery is ready! Three Artillery 、、、、、"

As each artillery position shouted out the words of preparation one after another, the commander of the mountain artillery company carrying the command flag immediately waved heavily: "Release!" ”

As the mountain artillery company showed its presence again, Sadao Ushijima, who was organizing the infantry to advance, soon saw the shells flying from the presidential palace and fell in the direction of the mountain artillery brigade very accurately.

"Yaga! This is the mountain artillery of the Chinese army, didn't the Air Force say before that it did not find their artillery positions? ”

Listening to the sound of explosions coming from the mountain artillery brigade and the fact that the shells fired a lot less in an instant, many Japanese commanders who stayed in the rear to watch the battle felt that the Jinling Dead Soldiers Battalion that was sticking to the presidential palace was really tenacious beyond imagination.

The defenders of the blocking position, who could also feel that the shells were much reduced, also knew that the artillery in the rear was returning fire. Just as they were waiting for the end of the Japanese shelling, the familiar sound of mortar was heard again on the left side of the position.

Looking at the little devil infantry who were advancing forward, the chickens and dogs that were bombarded by mortars again, all the officers and soldiers who survived the blockade knew it. At this time, there is only one way to go, and there is no other choice!
