The Japanese bombers were bent on blowing up the anti-aircraft machine gun position they hated the most, because the armor-piercing shells of this anti-aircraft machine gun were fully capable of knocking down the plane.

Every time the Japanese planes flew to the east coast, they were most worried about guarding against these, and we had anti-aircraft machine gun positions all over the city, so as not to carelessly lose Jingzhou and be knocked down by these "roars to the sky".

I guess the main mission of this Japanese 97 bomber is to blow up the road leading to the outside world in Linmeng. Paralyzing Linmeng's transportation is tantamount to indirectly cutting off our supplies.

It is estimated that the pilot of the Japanese plane temporarily changed the bombing target when he saw the anti-aircraft machine gun position, and he wanted to blow up the biggest threat to him.

I shot the platoon commander of the second lieutenant who had escaped, and then pointed the pistol at the machine gun group, and shouted: "Whoever dares to retreat again, he will be your example!" Keep fighting me, you'll either knock down the devil's plane or be killed by the bombs he dropped!" There is no third way! ”

The guards behind me all raised their guns and pointed at the anti-aircraft machine gun crews that were staring at each other, and we now had the role of temporary overseers.

The machine gun team thought about it, and they couldn't escape left and right, so instead of being killed by their own people and falling into a crime of escaping from the battle, it was better to give it a go and fight with the Japanese army to break the net!

Thinking like this, I opened it, and the machine gun fired more accurately. The anti-aircraft machine gun sprayed a fire snake at this high-speed rail bird in the sky, empty, empty! Non-stop shooting.

I looked up at the planes in the sky whizzing by, and I shouted, "Hit the plane in front of you!" "Bang bang bang! Several armor-piercing shells from anti-aircraft machine guns actually hit the wing of the aircraft. The 97 bomber was crooked, roaring in a large arc back to the direction of the west bank.

"Hit! We hit! Several of the machine gun crew shook their fists and shouted in celebration.

I wiped the cold sweat on my head, in fact, I didn't know how to shoot in the air, I just took it for granted that I should fight in advance. Fortunately, I don't know if it was me who commanded, or if the machine gunner hit the plane well, anyway, he hit the plane in a daze.

Fortunately, we hit the plane, otherwise, this anti-aircraft machine gun position, plus dozens of us, I am afraid that it would have been wiped out.

The Japanese plane that was hit staggered back to their base camp, and it didn't know how to land, or maybe it had crashed into the valley.

It is said that the nephew of a high-ranking official in Chongqing was transferred to western Yunnan last month and joined the antiaircraft machine gun company as a platoon commander.

It is estimated that I wanted to come to our front line, which has not fought for a long time, to gild, but I didn't expect to make a mistake in my wishful thinking, catch up with this Japanese air raid and bomb the road, and also catch up with me, a commander who is not soft.

But this high-ranking official in Chongqing was not easy to mess with, and he mobilized all kinds of connections in the army to try to send me to prison on the same charge as revenge for his nephew.

The seriousness of this matter is the news that Huang Wenlie heard from Wang Tingyue, and according to Wang Tingyue's words. It is said that I will be brought to justice within a month!

Then a month passed, and the matter was uneventful, and the chief who had died of his nephew seemed to be deflated at once, as if it had never happened.

This result made Wang Tingyue puzzled, in his opinion, the high-ranking official in Chongqing would definitely not let me go, and he also had this ability.

Then, as time went on, the matter finally disappeared and no one talked about it again. As for the reason, I was also confused, and I didn't know why the high-ranking official suddenly gave up.

The progress of the road project in Linmeng was already slow, and the Japanese bombers dropped five bombs in a row, which blew up a section of the main road beyond recognition and seriously damaged. If the Japanese pilots hadn't tried to drop the last one on the anti-aircraft machine gun position, there would have been an extra bomb blown up here.

"The fact that the Japanese army is so afraid of us to build roads also shows that they have no confidence in their own defense capabilities!" Huang Wenlie made such a judgment on the Japanese air raid and bombing the road.

I said cautiously: "Tuanza, you see this as a show of weakness by the Japanese army, how do I think this is just a routine military bombing by the Japanese army." ”

Huang Wenlie shook his head and said, "Why did you choose the highway for routine military bombing? Isn't it worried about the ability of our army to be reinforced? ”

I said: "Bombing the highway and cutting off the lifeline of communication in Linmeng is a huge damage to our offense and defense. Over-interpreting such a strategic bombing by the Japanese army will lead to a wrong judgment of our military offensive deployment! ”

Huang Wenlie said: "Okay, no matter what, I still insist on a little bit, the Japanese army is becoming more and more jealous of our army, this is an indisputable fact!" ”

Huang Wenlie's attitude now represents what most of our officers think, in the past, we were overly afraid of the Japanese army, as long as the Japanese army picked out the sun flag, there were not a few troops who fled from the wind.

Now we are excessively contemptuous and contemptuous of the Japanese army, as if this hungry wolf who once ate people can really turn into a docile and dangerous little flower cat in the blink of an eye.

We are battling the rain on the east coast, hunger, and endless roads. Geng Huaiqi's pre-17th division on the west bank has a much better life than ours on the east bank.

The material supply of the pre-17th division has always been airdropped by planes, so when we gnawed on the bark on the east coast, and had a meal of miscellaneous grains and rice, the pre-17th division was not hungry.

In the past month, the 17th Division has fought several beautiful ambush battles on the west bank one after another. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers were killed, and countless weapons and materials were seized.

On the table of the military headquarters, the commendation orders issued to Geng Huaiqi were piled up into a small mountain, and the military department, the Ministry of National Defense, and the army headquarters were like the scene of a commendation meeting.

This is like a person's appearance, although it is also a compliment, and the meaning is almost the same, it must be said through different identities and different mouths to be more meaningful.

The West Coast was victorious, and the East Coast became more and more breathless. After a few days of slightly fine weather, the military headquarters again issued an operational order, ordering all units on the east bank to be ready for battle at any time, and it was expected to launch a river crossing operation a week later.

Huang Wenlie conveyed this order to our battalion commanders and said: "Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, we have accumulated too long, it's time to fight for a war!" ”

I said, "Tuanza, our brothers have been eating multigrain rice for a month and a half, and we must not let the brothers go hungry to kill devils." ”

Huang Wen smiled: "I thought you would talk about this for a long time. Junzuo has promised that military supplies and food will be delivered within three days! ”
