Chapter 398: Surrendered

"This is the third squad of the Crow Squadron, our department was ordered to come to support, if you need air support, please ask the ground forces to indicate the target!"

Listening to this strange and proud voice, Jia Shimao couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly in his heart, do these flying guys always talk to people with such a nostril-facing posture?

However, gritting his teeth, Jia Shimao could not refuse the opponent's air support because of his vindictiveness, otherwise he would really become a fool.

"Black Crow Squadron, I am Captain Jia Shimao, the commander of the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 561st Regiment, we are being attacked by the Japanese army, and we are asking for support...... Request support! Target, beach No. 2, repeat beach No. 2! ”

"Understood...... Support will arrive in 3 minutes, please be careful to use flares to indicate the direction! After another sentence came to his ears, he stopped communicating.

After returning the microphone to the communications corps, Jia Shi looked up, under the scorching sun, the straggler line composed of earthy yellow figures kept moving from a distance, rushing towards the river beach very quickly, about a dozen light and heavy machine guns covered them behind, the bullets hit the river beach and splashed a stream of wet soil, and the grenades fired from the grenadiers exploded in front and behind the position from time to time.

Jia Shimao's third company was located on a low riverbank, which was easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the Japanese firepower could pour down on them to their heart's content, because although the Japanese army could suppress the soldiers of the third company with more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, it was difficult to lift their heads.

Jia Shimao took a deep breath and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Brothers, hold on, the brothers of the flying brigade said, the support will arrive soon!" ”

"Buzz ......"

The sound of the engine in the sky is getting louder and louder.

"Airplane...... Our plane has arrived, fire flares! Jia Shimao ordered the communication soldiers beside him.

"Yes!"

"Bang ......"

Three eye-catching flares, one red and two green, were fired in the direction of the Japanese attack. Even in the daytime, it stands out.

Less than half a minute after the flare was fired, the ground forces saw six Wildcat fighters painted dark green lined up in a line, at an ultra-low altitude less than 200 meters from the river beach. Crossed the top of the head of the third company and rushed down the river beach. At a distance of about 100 meters from the position of the third company, six 12.7 mm large-caliber Browning machine guns on the nose and wings opened fire in unison, and in an instant, the enemy stormtroopers were scattered like flying sand and rocks, and countless Japanese troops fell one after another in the rain of bullets.

Six fighters and twelve large-caliber machine guns used dense bullets to plow bullet marks on the river beach, and they strafed from the river beach to a mountainside behind them, and then the plane pulled up the nose. Under such fierce strafing, the Japanese soldiers who charged all lay on the ground and did not dare to move. The machine guns covering the attack were also half dumb, and the Japanese army's original momentum suddenly became wilted like frosted eggplants.

Looking at the Japanese attack formation that had been blown up in pieces, the captain of the group, Haneda Mikuza Shaosa, looked at the six fighters that whizzed over his head and cursed angrily. It's just that he didn't scold the six Wildcat fighters that had just passed overhead.

"Baga, the empire's land and aviation are all dead, how can we let the planes of the people of China rage so much above our heads!"

An officer next to him asked, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, what should we do now?" Do you want to continue to order troops to attack? ”

"Of course you have to fight!" Haneda Mikuzari was like a gambler in a hurry to turn over at this time. He was ordered by the commander of the 80th Brigade, Major General Shuntaro Yuguchi, to guard this stretch of the riverbank. If he couldn't even survive the first round of attacks from the Huaxia people, even if he could escape back, he would be dead. On the other hand, if he could take the river beach and drive the Chinese people back across the river, then he would have survived.

"Order the troops to continue the attack and rush up to melee with the Chinese people, so that the Chinese people's planes will not dare to strafe at will!" Haneda Misashi is not a straw bag, and he quickly thought of a way, but when he said this method, he only felt that his lips were a little bitter, and this method was invented by the national * army. But now he has let him use it, and it's really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

But as the saying goes. Complete one's misery. Just as the Japanese army continued to muster up the courage to attack the river beach, a terrible siren sounded from the sky, and six dive bombers painted black in the shape of seagulls swooped down from the sky towards the river beach, and 12 large incendiary bombs weighing 300 pounds each fell, and immediately an earth-shattering explosion sounded, and the entire river beach trembled, and from a distance of more than 100 meters from the position of the three companies to the halfway up the mountain, they were plunged into a sea of fire. The small trees, dead branches, and weeds on the river beach burned all that could be burned, and even Haneda Misashi, who commanded the soldiers to charge with his command sword, was enveloped in flames.

As soon as the six Stukas finished dropping their bombs, they were pulled up, and six more Stukas swooped down, and the bombs dropped by these machines that were built to kill were equally powerful. Another six 500-pound bombs exploded in succession, and the area of the explosion covered the offensive formation and route of the 177 Brigade. The air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, as the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, as the uprooted trees and fragments of the stumps of Japanese soldiers flew into the air.

The three companies of the river beach were all stunned by the fierce air raids and explosions, especially those recruits who had just joined the army, and they were all stunned when they saw the Japanese soldiers who had turned into a sea of fire, they stood up from their positions, and looked at the flame-covered, dusty mountainside and the large river beach, as well as the Japanese soldiers who were scurrying around in flames, and no one was willing to shoot at those Japanese soldiers at this time.

The twelve Stuka dive bombers that fell from the sky were ordered to take off from Hengzhou Airport two black crow squads, after being bombed by these twelve dive bombers in turn, the entire brigade was already heavily wounded, and even the elite standing division may not be able to hold out under such heavy losses, not to mention that the 103rd Division was only a mobilization division, and the remaining Japanese troops had long lost their fighting spirit in the bombing, and with the three companies launched a counter-charge, the remaining Japanese troops were either annihilated or fled, The entire brigade of nearly 1,000 people was wiped out like this......

Half an hour after the battle, the river beach was still wafting with cyan smoke and the smell of gunpowder, and the soldiers of the third company were cleaning the battlefield in twos and threes.

Jia Shimao, who was tired and sweating profusely, was sitting on the ground and pouring water into his mouth, the fierce battle consumed a lot of his physical strength, and he was so tired that he didn't want to move.

After resting for a while, and after regaining some strength, he was just about to beckon the troops to assemble, when he saw the regiment commander Huang Jianguo, surrounded by several officers and guards, striding towards them.

Jia Shimao hurriedly stood up and saluted Huang Jian*guo, "Hello regiment leader!" ”

Huang Jian*guo waved his hand, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Company Commander Jia, your third company fought a good battle, and after this battle, I will personally ask the military seat for you to take credit!" ”

Jia Shimao said with a smile: "The head of the regiment has won the award, this is all your command wisdom!" ”

"Wise command of fart!" Huang Jian*guo scolded with a smile: "Lao Tzu didn't command you to fight at all, it should be your credit, no one can take it away!" Now I'm looking for you to ask you, can you continue to serve as a striker in the third company? ”

"No problem!" As soon as he heard this, Jia Shimao immediately came to his senses, "This battle has only been fought for less than an hour just now, and he hasn't enjoyed it yet." ”

"Haha...... You......" Huang Jianguo smiled, and as soon as he wanted to speak, Xiang Yihang ran over from a distance.

He didn't have time to catch his breath before he stammered, "Company commander...... Captain...... There are a few devils here who have surrendered to us, let's ...... What are we going to do? ”

"There are devils who have taken the initiative to surrender to us?" Everyone was a little stunned when they heard this, and Huang Jian*guo even lost his voice: "Second Lieutenant, you're not mistaken, right?" ”

After fighting with the Japanese for so long, the prisoners captured by the 202nd Army were only a handful, but it was definitely the first time that the Japanese who took the initiative to surrender to them were the first to question it.

Xiang Yihang turned his head and saw Huang Jian*guo standing on the side, so he hurriedly wanted to salute, but was stopped by ******, "Second lieutenant, are there really Japanese soldiers who surrendered to us, not captured by us?" ”

Voluntary surrender and being captured are definitely two different concepts, the former is an active behavior, and the latter is captured when losing the ability to resist and the combat effectiveness of the zombies, and their nature is definitely two different things.

"Sir, it's absolutely true." Xiang Yihang probably ran too quickly, so his voice was a little hoarse, "Just now I took more than ten brothers to the mountainside in front of me to search, and as soon as I reached the mountainside, I saw more than ten devils walking out of a forest with their hands raised, led by a military commander. ”

"Oh!" He was greatly surprised, he had been fighting with the Japanese for almost two years, and in his impression that the Japanese were diehards, not to mention surrendering on their own initiative, even if they were captured, there were very few, and most of the Japanese soldiers were desperate to die after being captured, and now suddenly someone told him that the Japanese took the initiative to surrender, which made Huang Jianguo quite a feeling of disbelief.

"Let's go...... Check it out! ”

Huang Jian*guo, who was becoming more and more puzzled, waved his hand and took Jia Shimao and his party to see the Japanese who surrendered on their own initiative.

When they came to a thicket of reeds charred by incendiary bombs, they saw more than a dozen ragged Japanese soldiers sitting on the ground, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers of the third company watching them with guns.

Seeing Huang Jianguo and others coming, the Japanese non-commissioned officer led by him immediately recognized his identity, and after shouting, all the Japanese prisoners stood up and bowed to Huang Jianguo. (To be continued.) )
