Chapter 746: The Protector Army
In the pilot's lounge at Hangzhou Lanqiao Airport, Doolittle and a group of American pilots are sitting in the pilot's cafeteria enjoying lunch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After only a few bites, Sergeant Fred Bremer, the original bombardier, put the knife and fork in his hand on the plate one after another, and complained: "Damn, if it weren't for the fact that almost all the people around me were black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese, I would have thought I was at the air base on Midway Island now." Look, what do we eat? Stewed Spam luncheon meat, Spam luncheon pie, and boiled Spam luncheon meat greased, God, I doubt I'm going to turn into a luncheon meat and be packed back to the U.S. and delivered to my mom! What about the good Chinese food? Whoever can bring me a mapo tofu or kung pao chicken is okay! ”
Fred Bremer's words drew a roll of eyes, and the navigator, Ensign Henry Potter, put down his knife and fork and said with a smile: "Fred, if you can keep your mouth shut, I guarantee that those chefs will serve you a special dish of Chinese specialties in the afternoon, but only if you eat the luncheon meat in front of you." ”
"Haha......" Henry Potter's words drew a chuckle, and the gunner, Sergeant Paul Leonard, followed suit, "I bet that the reason why we can only eat these pig food with American characteristics these days is because the U.S. Department of War thinks that Fred has eaten too much and seriously wasted American taxpayers' money, so it is unwilling to pay for our food expenses, so the Chinese people replaced us with this pig food." ”
Seeing his companions mending the knife one by one, Fred said bitterly, "Oh, damn it, can't you say something that makes me happy?" ”
"Alright, everyone stop complaining." Doolittle, who was sitting in the middle, put down the knife and fork in his hand and said to everyone: "The food during this period is indeed a little worse, but this is also something that cannot be helped. You also know that there was a little accident in the northeast, that damn heavy rain disrupted all of us, our current boss, General Su, is besieged in Huludao by the Japanese himself, and the people of the Third Army are now focusing all their energy on the northeast, so if we want to eat hot Chinese American style as before, it is estimated that we will have to wait until General Su escapes to realize this wish. ”
As soon as Doolittle's words came out, everyone sighed secretly. According to the original plan, now they should drive the B-25 bombing to Huludao Airport, and then cooperate with the ground forces to carry out fixed-point bombing of various fortifications and strongholds in Japan to clear obstacles for the ground troops, instead of sitting here all day and watching the sky in a daze.
"Damn heavy rain!"
Everyone scolded in their hearts, the reason why these Yankees are so active in wanting to fly planes out to fight is not because of the overflow of internationalism, but because before that, Su Jin personally promised them that every time they sorted, a hundred oceans would be credited to their accounts, and if they bombed the strongholds and fortifications of the Japanese themselves, there would be additional bonuses, which was very attractive to the Americans who paid attention to the supremacy of interests, but it was a pity that a heavy rain disrupted their money-making plans.
Perhaps it was Doolittle's words that moved God, and just as his words fell, a loud and rapid alarm sounded outside, accompanied by the hoarse roar of the star officer.
"Attention! Note! Everyone has to be ready, the ground crew immediately does the last check, and all the pilots are on standby! The transport aircraft brigade began to check the supplies, everyone was ready to take off within half an hour, and the captains immediately went to the command headquarters to receive orders! ”
For the soldiers, the sound of sirens is the same as the sound of gunshots, almost synonymous with orders, after hearing the shouts outside, Doolittle they did not dare to slack off, quickly stood up, and the fast movements had rushed out of the restaurant, when they rushed out of the restaurant, everyone was surprised to find that the originally calm airport was almost crowded, countless people were rushing towards the runway, and a soldier ran towards the C-54 large transport plane parked on the runway under the command of the officers.
"Babble, guys, get ready to work!" Fred Bremer, who was the most anxious, shouted happily and ran towards a B-25 bomber parked on the runway.
Just when Hangzhou's Lanqiao Airport was busy, thousands of kilometers away from Hangzhou, on a small airport in Zhongtiao Mountain, near the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi, Stuka dive bombers also left the runway with a whistling sound and flew northeast......
"Boom ......"
A cannonball exploded on the left side of the Putian Jili, and the violent shock wave blew up a section of the trench to his left, and the flying dust almost buried him underneath.
Putian Jili, who was holding a Type 38 rifle in his hand, climbed up from the position with difficulty and poked his head out, the visibility on the position was still very poor, gray and black smoke was wafting everywhere, and the long-range artillery of both sides was doing its best to hit the depth of each other's rear, from the sky to the ground, the entire battlefield was plunged into a frantic melee, and the battlefield commanders on both sides were trying their best to control the situation. The Japanese army led by Taro Kanhara defended the salient position in the east, and because this was the only hillside within a radius of several kilometers, no matter which side occupied this place, it could use the terrain to attack the other side condescendingly, so as soon as the battle began, this place became the first position for both sides to grab.
The Protector Army led by Taro Kanhara has been holding here for four whole days, and during these four days, two armies belonging to the same nation and country have been fighting desperately on this land of less than three square kilometers. They speak the same language, use the same weapons, and use the same tactics.
In the past four days, no less than 2,000 corpses have been left behind by the Ninth Division, which has attacked in front of this position, and the Protector Army, which is responsible for holding this position, has also paid a lot of casualties. And from today, the attacking Japanese army was embarrassed and angry and mobilized more than 20 artillery pieces to carry out continuous artillery bombardment on the position, and the fierce artillery fire almost collapsed the entire position, otherwise the defending national army was not to be outdone, and immediately called the heavy artillery brigade in the rear to counterattack the Japanese army, and one by one 155 heavy howitzers fell in front of the position, blowing up the attacking Japanese army to the flesh and blood, and even some artillery fire launched an artillery bombardment towards the Japanese artillery positions in the rear, but because the Japanese artillery positions were too scattered, The shelling of the heavy artillery brigade failed to achieve the desired effect, and the two sides were considered to have reached a draw.
After several days of continuous fighting, Putian Jili almost became a native man, the whole person except for the teeth is not white, and what is amazing is that after so many days of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the same squad are almost dead or wounded, only Putian Jili is almost uninjured, such a situation even the squadron leader who came to inspect the position is also amazed, just yesterday after the team leader died in battle, Putian Jili became the acting team leader, leading the remaining more than 30 soldiers to continue to stick to this position.
Finally waited for the shelling to stop, Putian Jili's violently beating heart slowly calmed down, he walked into the trench with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Hurry up, those who are not dead will enter the position, those puppet troops are going to attack again!" ”
With the shouts of Putian Jili, slowly out of the surrounding anti-artillery holes or foxholes, the whole body of the figure was gray, and they came out to their respective positions to prepare to shoot. War is the best catalyst, a year ago was a new recruit, Putian Jili is now able to skillfully command dozens of soldiers, only to see while patrolling and constantly encouraging the soldiers around him.
When Putian Geely came to a Type 92 heavy machine gun fire point, he was stopped by a secondary shooter.
"Putian-kun, can we repel the attack of the puppet army?"
"Of course...... We can! Putian Jili grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
It's really ironic to say, at the beginning of the period, the Protector Army didn't know how to call the original Japanese army, and in the end, it was Guan Yuan Taro, the commander of the Protector Army, who thought that the Chinese people called their rebels the puppet army, and they also called the Japanese army the puppet army, which seemed to regard themselves as orthodox, and called the original Japanese army the rebels, and soon this title became the special name of the soldiers of the Protector Army for the original Japanese army.
Putian Jili patted the shoulder of the deputy archer and comforted: "Don't worry, Your Excellency the general has already said that as long as we can defeat the puppet army on the opposite side this time, he will give us an extra month's military salary." And His Excellency the General also promised us that when we defeat the army controlled by the vampire chaebols in the future, and return to Japan, each of us will be richly rewarded, whether it is land or money, and if you don't want to go home and farm, he can even arrange for us to enter the local police station as policemen! ”
"Being a cop?"
The eyes of the deputy shooter immediately widened, don't look at the rampant underworld in Japan, but the crime rate is definitely the lowest in Asia, so being a police officer in Japan is an out-and-out beauty difference. The police not only work leisurely but also have a low salary, enough to feed a large family, if anyone can become a policeman, it means that he can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, this is a real iron rice bowl, so when he heard this, everyone's eyes almost widened.
"Your Excellency, is what you said true?" The machine gunner on the side almost bulged out his eyes when he heard this.
Putian Jili smiled and said: "Of course, this is what His Excellency the General personally assured His Excellency Taro Guan Hara, and arranging a few people to be police officers doesn't seem to be a big deal for the General!" ”
"Half load!"
After hearing Putian Geely's assurance, several machine gunners and the surrounding soldiers cheered almost at the same time, and the exhaustion of their bodies was suddenly thrown out of the clouds.
"Your Excellency, Captain, those puppet soldiers are here!" At this moment, the voice of a soldier sounded next to him.
Putian Jili poked his head out, and immediately saw a group of figures in khaki military uniforms in the distance who were spreading out a straggler formation and touching their position, Putian Jili did not immediately order the soldiers to shoot, but took out a brick-sized Motorola walkie-talkie from the backpack behind him, and shouted loudly after connecting the channel: "Moses Moses, is it the brigade headquarters?" I am the second squad of the fourth squadron of the first brigade of the Protector Army, and those puppet troops began to attack us, in azimuth 235, asking for artillery coverage! ”
Although Su Jin looked at the Japanese Protector Army more closely, and there was no artillery establishment in the establishment of the Japanese Protector Army on weekdays, Su Jin, who knew that if he wanted the horses to run, he had to feed the horses, and immediately after the battle, he equipped the Protector Army with a 105 artillery battalion, and each brigade was equipped with twelve M30 107 mm mortars and twenty-two 82 mm mortars. Not only that, but he even authorized Taro Guan Hara to contact the heavy artillery brigade to request artillery support in case of emergency, and it was precisely because of such a strong capital that the Japanese National Defense Army was able to hold out for four days under the onslaught of the Ninth Division.
"Hiss ......"
Less than twenty seconds after Putian Jili's words were finished, a sharp sound came from the sky, which was as sharp as a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and soon bursts of explosions accompanied by clouds of smoke enveloped the Japanese troops in front of the position......
The blast of artillery lasted less than a minute before it stopped, and only five rounds of shells were fired in total. It was not that the gunners were stingy with shells, but after these rounds of shells, they had to quickly move their positions, otherwise the artillery fire of the Japanese counterattack would be over, but this round of artillery fire also brought a lot of casualties to the Japanese troops who had just entered the attack position, and the Japanese soldiers of a squadron who were preparing to launch an attack lost at least one squad in this round of shelling, which also made the Japanese commander on the opposite side grit his teeth angrily, and soon the Japanese army launched a more fierce attack on the position where Putian Jili was located.
"Smack......
A resounding slap sounded on the Japanese position, and then the commander of the 19th Infantry Wing, Hitomi Hidesansa, gave the captain of the 1st Brigade standing in front of him another slap in the face.
"Yaga Yalu, how did you command the troops? A squadron of troops was blown away by those rebels without firing a single shot, and if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid your brigade will be exhausted by tonight, and when the time comes, what will we do to continue the attack, is it up to you and me? ”
"Hai...... Your Excellency is right, I was reckless! The captain of the first brigade didn't dare to tell the difference, and kept admitting his mistake with his head down.
Seeing that Xiusan was in an anxious mood at this time, he knew very well that his brigade commander, Major General Jing Shuxuanshi, was quietly observing the situation of his wing less than a few miles away from him. He has been leading the 19th Wing for most of the day, but there is no progress at all, and if he can't make a breakthrough tonight, I'm afraid he will also be slapped in the face. He couldn't understand why the rebels on the other side were so tenacious, did they all fight collectively?
"If you continue to attack immediately, you must take down the rebel position in front of me!"
"Hay!" (To be continued.) )
