Chapter Ninety-Three: The Japanese Army's Great Bombing Retaliation
"The main target of our 3rd Flying Group has been locked onto the air attack on Guangzhou Baiyun Airport......"
"The 1st Light Bomber Squadron, and the 2nd Heavy Bomber Squadron; Carpet bombardment at intervals of several minutes......"
When the first group of Japanese pilots had already taken off to attack and carry out retaliatory bombing, the second group of Japanese pilots also took off and loudly used airborne communication planes to report to the Japanese airfield control tower.
Then you can see a series of Japanese light and heavy bombers; Under the cover of a large group of fighters, they took off from the temporary airfield established by the 5th Fleet of the Japanese Navy and the fallen Huiyang, and quickly climbed into the thick clouds with murderous vigour, and flew in groups in the direction of Guangzhou City.
The aerial bombs carried by these Japanese bombers were all loaded with 300 kg of bombs, 800 kg of heavy bombs, and even a large number of incendiary bombs.
These groups of fighters, and bombers, crossed the beautiful, soil-rich estuary of the Pearl River.
Looking at the charming scenery under the clear water and blue sky, even those Japanese devils who kill people without blinking an eye are praised and addicted to it for a while.
"I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful place in Guangzhou City, if only I could live here!"
"That's right! The scenery here is really beautiful, but this will soon be the emperor of Japan! So we can live as much as we want, but unfortunately now we are going to carry out a large-scale bombing, I wonder if this place will be as beautiful as it is now after we bomb it into ruins! ”
"Hahaha! It doesn't matter if it's pretty! At that time, wouldn't we just arrest those people and rebuild the city of Guangzhou for us? Our Imperial Japanese Army is invincible and invincible! ”
"Horn Ga! You should be saying long live the Great Japanese Navy, you know! The navy of our empire is the most powerful force of the great Japanese empire, how can those incompetent army forces be compared with our navy! ”
"Hahaha! Long live the Navy, long live the Navy! ”
Looking at the city of Guangzhou, where there are still many beautiful scenery, the Japanese pilots who are preparing to bomb are giggling and laughing.
The time of this day was October 20, 1938, and on this day, the entire sky over Guangzhou, which had no air supremacy, suddenly and violently sounded the piercing air defense siren.
"Miserable! Those dog-day turnip-headed devils are here again! All the students took refuge in a nearby bomb shelter. ”
"Oh no, those Japanese devils are bombing us again, everyone run away!"
"Mom! Mom! I'm scared! Where are you? There you are! ”
"Don't hide at home, get out of the street, you'll be crushed to death in the rubble!"
When the citizens of Guangzhou City discovered the menacing Japanese planes, many ordinary people, students, children, etc. were shouting and fleeing in panic.
Moreover, many Guangzhou citizens were frightened, carrying boxes and cabinets, and fled to the nearby wharf as fast as they could in their lives, preparing to escape from Guangzhou City by boat.
Moreover, the backbone of the "anti-first" composed of students, workers, shop assistants, and faculty members also packed their luggage and retreated to Foshan in fear.
In particular, on the evening of October 19, 1938, people gathered in the square of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall to participate in the demonstration to defend the torch in Guangzhou.
There were about 80,000 people in that group, and they were people from all walks of life, and they all rallied to fight against Japan.
As for the family members of a large number of Cantonese officers and men, including Yu Xmou, they had already left Guangzhou City in a hurry and by various means of transportation to evacuate and transfer to northern Guangdong.
When one after another piercing 'whistling' sounds, from to bottom, from far to near, resounded over the entire city of Guangzhou.
The citizens of the entire city of Guangzhou, who were fleeing in a panic, heard a deafening explosion in an instant, as if it was about to destroy the world.
Then, after the aerial bombs that were continuously dropped from the belly of the Japanese planes bombed the ground, the huge shock wave generated instantly shattered the glass windows of batch after batch of buildings.
In some of the urban areas of Guangzhou, when people had just heard the loud sound of the "booming" explosion, they saw that many aerial bombs were dropped by Japanese planes on schools and residential areas where there were still students.
Suddenly, the entire school, and even the entire residential area, were flattened by the dense bombing of aerial bombs, and under the collapsed mess, like a small hill of rubble, they were smashed to death, and many citizens who could not escape were buried, as well as innocent old and young women and children.
In the face of more and more tragic scenes, the entire calm and waveless city of Guangzhou suddenly changed into a hellish city on earth, with screams, wails, screams, and cries for help.
In the smoke of gunfire, shops and houses were blown up to pieces, and dense bombs continued to be thrown from the belly of low-flying Japanese planes to bombard indiscriminately.
In short, it didn't take long for the entire originally prosperous and lively city of Guangzhou to appear one after another, with piles of scorched earth, as well as a large number of broken bricks, the corpses of ordinary people in different places from the corpses, and the corpses of children who were blown up beyond recognition, even brains, and stomachs and intestines.
And in the streets and alleys, there are many half-crazy, half-crazy, crying and bereaved people, and the response to these poor people is a bloody, undead corpse, and those mutilated limbs that are mixed in the rubble or scorched in the houses.
"Damn the Japanese army! If I don't kill you all, I'll never die! ”
At this time, Wang Changgui, who had already reorganized his troops, had already walked out of the house where they were hiding, looking for cover to avoid the bombing of the Japanese army, and at the same time looking at the tragic scene of corpses all over the field and rivers of blood flowing in front of him, and roared murderously.
And all the Cantonese officers and soldiers who followed him, Hai Xixue, and Chen Min'er also stared at the Japanese planes that were still hovering in the sky and bombing.
It's just that at this moment, they don't know as clearly as Wang Changgui from later generations what the tragic situation will be like once Guangzhou City is occupied by the Japanese army.
After the Japanese army occupied Guangzhou, they would begin to burn and loot, and those traitors were also unscrupulous and robbed everywhere, and a large number of streets and commercial areas that were once bustling and lively would be ruthlessly burned by them until they became a ruin; Moreover, the large and small shops in the city will be looted by them, smashed and burned down.
As for those citizens who did not have time to flee to the mainland, or to Hong Kong or Macao for refuge, they were all hiding in their respective homes in fear and did not dare to go out.
Because the Japanese army that broke into the city would constantly knock on the door everywhere to search for "flower girls", molesting and insulting women at will, and raping women; and to bring out all their criminal acts of the Nanjing Massacre, so that all the people left in the city of Guangzhou fell into despair and dire danger.
These ordinary people in Guangzhou, who had no ability to resist, were either killed by the inhumane Japanese army using airplanes, or raised their butcher knives to carry out a massacre and killed, or were tortured to death by them, so that after September 15, 1943, there were less than 650,000 people left in the city of Guangzhou, which had 1.22 million people, and the population was reduced by nearly half.
"Wu Zhiwei, you immediately take a squad of troops, and let me reconnoiter the movements of Commander Yu Xmou's Cantonese army!"
Brother Long! You also give me a squad of troops, equipped with more light machine guns, and give me a clear reconnaissance of the Japanese army's march towards the city of Guangzhou! I want to know what they're doing! ”
After Wang Changgui scolded the bombing of those Japanese planes, he quickly calmed down, and immediately issued a combat order to Wu Zhiwei, the escort next to him, and Chen Jilong, the platoon commander.
"Yes! Young Master! ”
"Yes! Battalion commander! ”
Wu Zhiwei and platoon commander Chen Jilong also responded at the same time.
