Chapter 1086: Before the Decisive Victory (Part II)

Yes, except for Liu Lang himself, no one knows that Liu Lang's biggest hole card in the battle of Qiqian Village is not to predict the future, nor to have the assistance of the red troops with elite soldiers and the most elite one, let alone favorable terrain.

Of course, these can give nearly 5,000 Chinese elite officers and soldiers an advantage, but Liu Lang is still not sure enough to annihilate this group of Japanese invaders with more than 6,000 numbers in the vast mountains of Taihang Mountain.

The last time the independent regiment was able to defeat the 8th Division with the strength of three regiments, it was really a hero of the times. The Eighth Division, which had never tasted defeat in an arrogant manner that had spent more than a month building a perfect tunnel fortification, crashed its head and broke its blood. It was also borrowed by Liu Lang from the future, this super big golden finger ambushed 300 elite soldiers on the side of the Japanese heavy artillery station, and the sneak attack was successful, and the eighth division that lost its heavy artillery was like a toothless tiger, and could only flee in embarrassment under the pursuit of the Great Wall regiment with artillery. However, all these advantages could not be converted into a complete victory, and what really made the defeat of the Eighth Division a shame for the Japanese Army was the weather.

Bad weather prevented the Japanese bombers, which had the most important advantage, from taking off. Without the threat of the air, the Great Wall regiment can rest assured and boldly put the artillery in formation, just like the "soul poet of the Republic of China" Zhang Zongchang described in the poem: "The cannon bombards his mother, and Weijia Hai returns to his hometown." Several heroes are in the Great Wall regiment, and the giant whale is devouring Fusang. ”

To tell the truth, Liu Lang at the beginning, standing on the top of the Rehe hills, looking up at the gloomy weather, watching the mountain artillery captured from the Japanese invaders rumbling towards the position of the Eighth Division, his mind was full of the famous sentence "Cannon fire and bombard!" ”

Really, it's so appropriate.

At that moment, Liu Tuanzuo, who returned to this era, actually admired the "soul poet of the Republic of China" who wrote this poem.

The first sentence is shocking and domineering, which is similar to the original sentence "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying", but it is just a small road. The author uses the roar of cannons to create an anti-Japanese battlefield where bullets rain and artillery fire, and his creation keeps pace with the times, and his words are majestic and catchy.

The reckless pride and the heroic style of the famous general played a double strong note, and the ideology and artistry reached a high degree of unity. Reciting a single line of this poem silently on the battlefield, in Zhao Ergou's crazy roar of tearing open his shirt and exposing his chest hair, "Fuck me to Lao Tzu!" Liu Lang seemed to see in a trance that the soul of a pure poet was stripped from the body of General Zhang Da's soldiers, and a noble, pure, capitalized, and truly detached soul poet from low-level tastes appeared in front of him.

This is to use realism to reflect romanticism!

After so much bullshit, in fact, that is to say, the Great Wall regiment led by the high-spirited Liu Tuanzuo, if it weren't for the weather, the Japanese bomber group couldn't take off, then he wouldn't have time to comment on the poems of the "Soul Poet of the Republic of China", but continued to hide in Luo Wenyu's turtle shell and continue to fight with the Japanese to see who would resist the beating and grinding of foreign workers.

Don't think that machine gun fire can be much of a threat to bombers racing at 400 kilometers per hour, whether it is a combat example or Liu Lang's actual combat, there are such examples, but it only requires courage and determination, but also luck.

If you want to stay alive on the battlefield, you need enough luck. But if you want to win, you can't rely on luck every time. Just like Jiuguan, Liu Lang has already preset three anti-aircraft positions, and twelve machine guns and sixteen MG42 anti-aircraft machine guns with a rate of fire of up to 1,200 rounds per minute are already very bluffing.

But what about the actual results? In addition to the first battle, because the Japanese army carelessly did not detect that there was an anti-aircraft artillery position in the Niangziguan area of China, they rashly lowered the altitude and entered the battlefield and lost five planes, and in the next four days, the Japanese planes that placed themselves above the altitude only lost two planes, but they chased the six guns of the artillery battalion and hid in Tibet, unable to continuously output enough firepower for the front line, and the position was also bombed into a sea of fire.

The terrifying 250-pound bomb destroyed three of the strongest machine gun fortifications. The only thing that can pose a sufficient threat to the Japanese planes in the air is the air force, not the anti-aircraft guns that are always on the defensive.

In Jindong in October, the weather has always been good since the Great War, and it is the favorite weather of the Japanese army and aviation. Once the Japanese army is surrounded, they will inevitably go out.

At least 20 or so planes will fly on the top of Taihang Mountain, and countless bombs may fall on the heads of the officers and men on the mountain beam position, and the cost of casualties is unacceptable to Liu Lang.

Even if he said it, if he dies, the regiment deputy will die, the battalion commander will die, and the company commander will be on top. But in fact, every time a soldier dies, his heart hurts, not to mention the backbone of the battalion commander and company commander.

The only way to deal with these threats from the sky is the Air Force.

And Liu Lang, who was a little lonely looking at the sky, was the clearest among all the people present, and the Chinese Air Force he could count on was almost exhausted in Songhu, which was still fighting fiercely, 300 to 2000, no matter how the weak Chinese Air Force fought bravely against the enemy regardless of his own safety, the absolute strength gap was already doomed, and in that national war, they were the first military to withdraw from the battlefield.

Even if in this time and space, because of the intrusion of Liu Lang's little butterfly, Situ Meitang used overseas Chinese donations to organize the "Volunteer Air Army", it would not be able to reverse the defeat of the Air Force.

The Chinese Air Force has worked hard to prove its existence with glory and sacrifice.

From the official outbreak of the Battle of Songhu on August 13, the Chinese Air Force participated in the war under the leadership of Gao Zhihang, a banner figure of the Chinese Air Force and known as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Chinese Air Force, and on August 14, three Japanese planes were shot down, one was damaged, and only one was slightly wounded, creating the most brilliant first battle of the Chinese Air Force, and then on August 15, the Chinese and Japanese Air Forces launched large-scale air battles again in Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places. The Chinese Air Force shot down 17 enemy planes, and on August 16, another 8 Japanese planes were shot down. To commemorate the first victory in an air battle, the government designated August 14 as "Air Force Day".

Since then, the Japanese army, navy, and air have joined forces to fight back frantically, and the number of planes that can be dispatched is as high as 2,000, which is far from being matched by the Chinese Air Force, which has a total number of only 296 aircraft.

The 150 newest fighters of the "Volunteer Air Force," which had been ordered to transfer from Sichuan to Nanjing and take part in the battle, were put into battle in early September, but at that time, there were very few Chinese warhawks left to accompany them to fly over Songhu to fight the Japanese army.

The Chinese pilots who flew the future version of the "Thunderbolt" fighter plane, which was far more advanced than the Japanese Type 96, and who spent two years training as American ace pilots, did just like the oath they made before coming to China: If you can't expel the Japanese invaders, then let me sleep forever in the mountains and rivers where my ancestors lived. Prove to the entire Chinese nation with their lives that although they were born abroad, and some of them are not even fluent in Chinese, their blood is always Chinese blood, their hair is black, and their eyes are always black.

In the pocket of Liu Lang's jacket was a telegram sent to him by the hearty Zhou Dapeng in the early morning before he was about to go to the Songhu battlefield.

His tears were not the sadness of dying, but the determination.

"Brother Lang Junjian, brother Dapeng arrived at Nanjing Colonel Airport at the end of August, and was very popular, but the younger brother did not have the slightest sense of joy. My brother and his comrades-in-arms traveled thousands of miles to the homeland of their fathers, not to enjoy the flowers and flags, but to contribute to our Chinese nation. However, when my brother arrived at the battlefield, he had to be saddened, although my country of China is a vast country with more than 40,000 people, but its government system is extremely procrastinated, although my brother and comrades-in-arms are full of blood, but they can only watch the enemy rampant in the air, our Chinese people are running and wailing in the smoke of their bombs, and their inner torment is really not enough for outsiders.

But the younger brother was not disappointed, although the upper level of the government was not satisfactory. But my Chinese air force is rare in the world, although weak, but they are the sword of China. It is also them who give my brother infinite courage. It also made my brother believe that the homeland of his fathers would not fall because of them.

After counting the war reports since August 14, my brother was full of blood while shedding tears. My brother doesn't know what the position of the president of Nankai University is, but my brother also knows that for China, Nankai University is like Harvard in the United States of America, but it is such a president, when his 25-year-old eldest son Zhang Xihu died in battle on August 14, he said: I myself was born in a sailor, and now I am old, and I hate that I can't kill the enemy to serve the country, and now I have no regrets about sacrificing my life for the country! With such a father and such a son, my Chinese air force is really rare in the world.

Brother should be with all his comrades-in-arms, take this as a model, defend the sky of China, and never retreat. If he dies in battle, I hope that my brother will not be sad, and my brother will only do his meager strength for the land of his homeland.

Farewell! Brother Wang's army of 10,000 victories defeated the enemy! Zhou Dapeng was born on September 6, the 26th year of the Republic of China. ”

This is a telegram from a month ago. The telegram received by Liu Lang just as he was swearing to go on the expedition.

Zhou Dapeng and his group of black-haired, black-glassed, yellow-skinned Chinese descendants living in a foreign land did not live up to their promises.

The Japanese air force was badly damaged by them, but they also suffered heavy losses. In one month, the "Aviation Volunteers" lost 86 pilots and 98 planes, two-thirds of which were lost.

Situ Meitang, who learned about this, burst into tears, those good guys, who were only children in their early 20s, had lost their lives before they could enjoy what life was. If you don't know what the future is, you won't have a future.

A certain supreme leader finally couldn't stand it anymore and ordered the "Aviation Volunteers" and the last vestiges of the Chinese Air Force to withdraw to Nanjing for repairs. In the national war, the two armies have invested nearly one million troops in a fierce battle in Songhu, but no matter whether they win or lose, this battle is by no means the last battle.

The Chinese Air Force needs to leave the seeds behind to fight again.
