It has to be said that the old-fashioned German aircraft designers have a knack for designing the more high-performance aircraft the uglier they design, as was the case with the famous Stuka dive bomber, as well as with the transport aircraft nicknamed "Aunt Junker".

Since the invention of the first airplane by the Lake brothers, designers have designed aircraft for decades that are either single-engine, twin-engine or even four-engine large aircraft. Sindo, however, designed a three-engine transport aircraft.

Many people were stunned when it came out, with its ugly shape, angular fuselage, thick landing gear struts sticking out of the fuselage, and Junkers' unique two-section flaps. In addition to the two engines on the wings, there is one on the nose, which makes it look rather bizarre. Because of its ugly appearance, it was even nicknamed "Steel Annie" at first.

However, with the promotion of this transport aircraft, the majority of German soldiers have gradually received it, although its appearance is really ugly, but it is not useless, although its landing gear can not be retracted, but it has also become extremely simple and solid, very suitable for rough landing at field airfields, the layout of three engines makes its horsepower become very large, and the safety is also very good, there have been pilots who tried to drive a JU-52 full of cargo in an emergency landing on a grass that has not been leveled, and it can also be forced to land successfully, This also shows how robust this transport aircraft is.

The buzz grew louder as the first JU-52 landed on the runway, which still looked slightly rough, followed by the second and third. More than ten minutes later. All twenty Junkers landed safely on the runway.

The hatch opened, and a soldier stepped out of the cabin and waited until they got off the plane. Medics who had been standing by the runway for a long time hurriedly carried a wounded person into the cabin. Aunt Juncker's rated capacity was eighteen, but in order to carry more people, the medical staff finally crammed enough people into it to close the hatch, and twenty minutes later, these transport planes filled with seriously wounded people accelerated off the runway and flew towards the night sky towards Jiujiang, two or three hundred kilometers away, where they would be sent to the military hospital in Jiujiang for the best treatment at a little more than a moment.

After a busy night, 20 JU-52 transport planes not only sent all the 600 wounded of the 347th Brigade to the rear. In addition, the same amount of supplementary troops and ammunition materials were also brought in, which greatly alleviated the ammunition reserves of the 347th Brigade, which had already bottomed out.

Early the next morning, Huang Weiguo left Shitai County and headed for Jingdezhen with nearly 10,000 soldiers of the 347th Brigade, which seemed to have a new look......

Although Jingdezhen has a town in its name. But it is a city with a population of hundreds of thousands. Because of its proximity to Jiujiang, as early as before the 348th Brigade arrived, the Japanese army that heard the news stationed a brigade of Japanese troops here, and this brigade was the 92nd Mixed Brigade under the 23rd Army.

This brigade is not an old powerhouse. The combat effectiveness is not very strong. Their division commander, Yuma Shinohara, was only born in a civilian family from an ordinary absentee in Japan. Although his qualifications were very high, he was not treated well by the upper echelons, and was assigned to the 92nd Brigade, which could only be said to be a third-rate unit.

After arriving at the 92nd Brigade, Yuma Shinohara, who cherishes life by nature, gathered all the officers to teach everyone his ancestral ability to dig holes without hesitation, and called on everyone to learn the skills of building civil and civil fortifications, so that they can work hard in the future to have a better chance of survival.

It has to be said that Yuma Shinohara's efforts were not in vain, as he had dug enough and deep enough fortifications in his sight. The 348th Brigade attacked for two days in a row and did not take the position of the 92nd Brigade, but suffered many casualties.

The brigade commander of the 348th Brigade was Wang Tiezhuan, the former commander of the air defense regiment. Due to the fierce fighting, the face of this man who was originally dark-skinned and strong-bodied became even darker.

A staff officer came to report: "Brigade seat, the division commander has called, he has come to Jingdezhen with the 347th Brigade this morning, and it is expected that he will arrive in Jingdezhen at noon the day after tomorrow." ”

Wang Tiezhuan was already at first, and then blurted out: "The master seat took the stone platform so quickly? ”

"Yes sir!" The staff officer nodded: "It only took half a day for the division commander of the 347th Brigade to take Shitai County, and after a short rest, they came towards Jingdezhen this morning." ”

"Damn, if you don't come early or late, if you arrive and see us still circling around the periphery of Jingdezhen, then the joke will be big." Wang Tiezhuan smashed his fist on the table with hatred, shaking the cup on the table.

In the past few days, Wang Tiezhuan has been working hard to launch an attack on the Japanese army on the opposite side, but because the position of the 92nd Brigade has been dug too strongly, the 348th Brigade has been attacking for several days without making any great progress. Most of the soldiers are competitive, and after hearing the news of Huang Weiguo's imminent arrival, Wang Tiezhuan felt a little unbearable on his face.

"Staff Officer Wang, you immediately give an order to the artillery regiment to immediately launch an artillery bombardment on the Japanese position, the artillery fire is prepared for an hour, and the 577th regiment will immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army after the artillery fire is over, I want to see if the Japanese on the opposite side are iron-clad!"

The staff officer was taken aback and hurriedly said: "Brigade seat, we don't have many shells, if we prepare for artillery fire for another hour, I'm afraid we won't have many shells left." ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't care, let the logistics send over if there are no shells, now what we have to do is to blow up the turtle shells of those devils on the other side!" Speaking of this, Wang Tieshuo's face was full of fierceness.

"Uh......h Boom ......"

Another large-caliber grenade hit the vicinity of the command post of the 92nd Brigade, and the whole earth trembled a few times, and then a fierce wind blew in with all kinds of debris, sand, gravel and mud through the lookout hole of the shelter, and knocked the staff officers who were watching there to the ground.

"Eight Miscellaneous Gods, are these people crazy?"

Major General Yuma Shinohara, commander of the 92nd Brigade, listened to the continuous explosions around him, and his heart was extremely indignant, the shelling of the Chinese army on the opposite side had been for more than half an hour, but there was still no sign of stopping, as if he would not stop until all the Japanese positions were bombed into ruins.

Originally, Shinohara Yuma was very confident in this fortification that he personally designed and supervised the soldiers to build, thinking that even if the Huaxia people attacked with 105 caliber artillery, it would be enough to withstand more than a week, but after only two days, he couldn't stand it, due to the continuous attacks of the Huaxia army, the three lines of defense he built have now lost one, and the remaining two lines of defense are also a little crumbling.
