Early in the morning, Ding Bufan received an order from the front-line headquarters and personally led 40 fighters to fly to the front line of Pingdu and Dagu River. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter Ding Bufan drove a fighter plane deep into the eastern part of the Dagu River to search for Japanese artillery positions to no avail, he immediately launched an air attack on the Japanese occupation. The smoke from the artillery bombardment on the ground was thick and the visibility was very poor, but it was a Japanese position, and it was basically clear. The fighter lowered its altitude, and Ding Bufan ordered the bombardier behind him to saturate the bomb.

What is saturation bombing? That is, after the fighter plane lowered its altitude, it was enough to indiscriminately drop the bomb on the Japanese position. The purpose of such a barbaric bomb delivery method was to use air strikes to break up the effective resistance of the Japanese army. Ding Bufan led the fighters of Team A and was responsible for the first-line air support of the Dagu River. No Japanese artillery positions were found, and Ding Bufan ordered all fighters to launch a free attack on the Japanese positions. The Japanese forward positions were ravaged by his own artillery fire, and he decided to carry out a major attack on the rear of the Japanese army.

As the altitude dropped, the Japanese troops on the ground were in disarray, some of them were shooting in the air, and some were hiding in all directions. From time to time, bullets hit the fuselage, and special sounds can be perceived. Bombs fell from the sky, and the ground was covered in smoke from the explosion. Ding Bufan drove the battleship back and forth at low altitude until all the bombs were dropped. The plane landed at the airport, and ground crews checked the engines, refueling and bombs. Ding Bufan and the bombardier did not get off the plane, but prepared to take off again.

Ding Bufan found the figure of a group of female soldiers in the distance, although he couldn't make out the faces of the female soldiers, he knew that Hu Jing must be among them. A warm current suddenly surged all over the body, and the pride was bursting like chicken blood. Soon, the ground crew shook the propeller, Ding Bufan pushed the joystick, and the fighter began to slide and sprint. The fighter plane took off, Ding Bufan turned his head to check, and saw the female soldiers waving and jumping, he seemed to see Hu Jing's beautiful smile and a pair of charming eyes, which were expectation, desire, and worry. 、

On the front line of the Dagu River, the 2nd Division counterattacked with great momentum. The Japanese soldiers fought fiercely all night last night and broke through the defense line of the Dagu River. Without waiting for a respite, he was sharply counterattacked by the opponent, and in the face of fierce artillery fire and air strikes, the brave impact of the soldiers was difficult to parry, and soon formed a rout.

In the front-line headquarters, the division commander He Zhi was in good spirits, swept away his malaise, and his bloodshot eyes were particularly focused. "Report to the division commander, the central defense line has been pushed to the Dagu River, and the lost positions have been recaptured."

"Report to the division commander, the counterattack on the north and south flanks is smooth, and the lost positions can be recaptured at about noon!" An operational staff officer was beaming with joy. "Immediately report to the front command, our counterattack has been successful, and the original line of defense can be restored at noon!" After He Zhi finished speaking, he suddenly felt fatigue, so he fell asleep on the chair.

The front command was also jubilant, and all the officers and staff were extremely excited. "Report to Deputy Commander Chiang, the counterattack on the front line of the Dagu River went smoothly, and by 12 o'clock, the Japanese troops had retreated to the east bank of the Dagu River, and all the lost positions were recaptured."

"Report, Wang Jiefang called, the counterattack was successful, and all the lost positions were recaptured. On behalf of all the officers and men of the First Division, Wang Jiefang thanked the artillery unit and the aviation wing for their effective support. "Deputy Commander, the Oriental devils have lost artillery support, and they are not as powerful as they imagined, it seems that Commander-in-Chief Ge has already thought of this move." A subordinate analyzes the battle situation. "It is a wise move to make use of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses of the Japanese army, and it is also an effective tactic to avoid its edge."

Jiang Fangzhen took a few steps on the ground and continued: "Order the General Staff to quickly come up with a complete plan, and order Wang Jiefang and He Zhi to give up the forward positions as appropriate tonight, but to formulate a detailed counterattack plan!" "The great success of the counterattack has undoubtedly given all the officers and men tremendous confidence, which cannot be compared with empty slogans. Yesterday evening, the Japanese army broke through on all fronts, and the defending side was full of dangers and dangers. The successful counterattack this morning, and the recapture of all the lost positions, greatly relieved the pressure on Jiang Fangzhen's heart, and at the same time released the pressure on all officers and men.

In the Jinan General Headquarters, Ge Yunfei and Shan Feng stood in front of the window, and the shouts of the newsboys came from the street: "Outside, outside!" Our army stubbornly defended and blocked the frantic attack of the Japanese army?????! "Outside the number, outside the number, our army counterattacked sharply on the front line of Pingdu and Dagu River, recaptured all the lost positions, and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses?????。" Usually no one pays special attention to the sound of the newsboy's immature selling, but at this moment, one can imagine the scene of the newsboy being surrounded by a crowd to snap up the newspaper.

"Commander-in-chief, timely informing the people of the front-line news is self-evident in encouraging the people." "The support of the people can guarantee victory at the front. It is particularly important to tell the people the battle report on the front line every day as soon as possible, so as to avoid rumors and incidents, and at the same time, it will increase cohesion and confidence in the resistance of unity. "Report, the casualties on the front line have been reported, after a night of fierce fighting and this morning's counterattack, our unit suffered about 4,000 casualties, and more than 50 artillery pieces were destroyed!"

"I said the cost would be unimaginable, this is a battle of redemption, we must not only hold off the Japanese attack, but also grow stronger in the battle. Guo Binghui was ordered to order the 3,000 reserve soldiers stationed in Gaomi to fight on the front line of the Dagu River, and ordered the 5,000 reserve soldiers on standby in Weifang to be put into the front line of Pingdu. In such a brutal defensive operation, it is necessary to ensure that the front-line troops are fully manned. As long as we hold out for three months, the Japanese offensive will be broken. ”

"Commander, if the Japanese attack is thwarted, will our troops counterattack?" "Counteroffensive, we can't do it for the time being, and the Japanese army will continue to deploy troops. My purpose was to let the Japanese army fall into the Shandong battlefield and fight for attrition. We use most of Shandong as a bargaining chip, and with the support of the people of the whole country, the pressure is completely bearable. Japan will mobilize the strength of the whole country, and once the Japanese Empire is defeated, it will lose all the interests of East Asia. "If the Japanese ask for an armistice?" Then it's up to the Japanese! Because the initiative of the war is in our hands. ”

"Commander, I know your appetite to ask the Japanese army to get out of China and out of the Korean Peninsula at that time. Is it wishful to demand that Japan repay Taiwan and the Ryukyus, and that the Japanese vomit out what they have eaten? "It's certainly not easy to bring the Japanese to their knees. If we defeat the Japanese on the Shandong Peninsula, we will only complete our initial strategy, and the medium-term strategy is to launch an attack on the Liaodong Peninsula and drive the Japanese away from the northeast. "Commander, have you thought about it, without the support of the national government, the medium-term strategy cannot be implemented at all!"

"There is a way that the auspicious people have their own celestial phenomena, the way is more helpful than the unjust, the wheel of history blesses the land of China, and the end of Yuan Shikai is not far away." "Could it be that you want to overthrow Yuan Shikai's government?" Shan Feng was taken aback when he heard this. "Our main task is to fight against Japan, cannibalism and stupidity, if that is the case, I will not be a sinner for the ages! Yuan Shikai is unpopular with the people, so he will naturally be punished by God, which is inevitable. Shan Feng was confused, but Ge Yunfei didn't say it and didn't want to ask in detail. Seeing Ge Yunfei's confident appearance, Shan Feng concluded that there would be fission within Yuan Shikai's group.

Shan Feng seemed to remember something: "My people found out that Yuan Keding was secretly operating in Tianjin, this guy's whereabouts are strange, and it is possible that he came into contact with the Japanese." "If you leave for Tianjin immediately, you must find out the evidence that Yuan Ke is determined to be in cahoots with the Japanese, and once the evidence is conclusive, he will secretly get rid of it." To create an incident, Yuan Keding was killed by the Japanese, and it can be regarded as giving Yuan Shikai a boost in face. "Commander, this trick is insidious enough, even if Yuan Shikai knows the truth, he is dumb and can't say it."

The atmosphere in the Weihai Command of the Japanese Army was depressing, and the emotions of the failure of the attack infected everyone. At this time, Commander Kawai Cao was silent and his expression was blank, and his sideburns seemed to have added a lot of gray hair overnight. The chief of staff said: "Ge Yunfei actually adopted the tactics of defensive in depth with Britain and France in the European war, forming more than ten kilometers of criss-crossing trench fortifications, and it is impossible for the attacking troops to break through continuously. It's unbelievable, how did Ge Yunfei move the defense system of the European battlefield to the Shandong Peninsula, which is almost impossible, and it is difficult for him to have clairvoyance? ”

Kawai Cao sighed and said, "It is the sorrow of the Great Japanese Empire that such a terrible character has appeared in China. Ge Yunfei is not only familiar with us, but also with all countries in the world, especially the European and American powers. In just 3 months, a deep defense system was formed in the 100-kilometer defense line, which is not something that ordinary people can do. If Ge Yunfei is not eliminated, the empire's expansion strategy will fail. You live or die, there is no way back for the Great Japanese Empire. The battle plan specified by the General Staff Headquarters was unrealistic, and the occupation of Jinan in 2 months was simply nonsense. ”

"We discovered Ge Yunfei's weakness, and Ge Yunfei also discovered our weakness. Daytime operations were originally the strong point of our army, and the defending units lost strong artillery support, which became a weakness. With the enemy's heavy artillery fire, the use of fighter planes to strike from the air, and the captured positions were surrendered, it seemed that we had to change our tactics and have to fight a war of attrition. Ge Yunfei's troops have a total strength of more than 100,000 people. Fighting consumption, Ge Yunfei will not last long. The warriors of the empire are not afraid of sacrifice, and the final victory must be ours! ”

"Your Excellency, the attack failed, and the morale of the front-line soldiers has been hit. The casualties were reported, and more than 3,000 people were killed in the battles on the front lines of Pingdu and Dagu rivers yesterday night and this morning. The enemy's losses cannot be counted, but it is estimated that there are more than 3,000 people. "Order the front-line commanders, in order to avoid heavy casualties, to refrain from group charges and use artillery fire to kill and wound the enemy at night." Hehecao's decision invisibly fell into Ge Yunfei's trap.

That night, the Japanese launched another offensive and increased the intensity and duration of the shelling. Although the Japanese easily captured the surface position, the Japanese retreated as soon as the morning dawned. Although the defenders suffered heavy casualties, they knew the pulse of the Japanese army, and at this point, the brutal war of attrition began to be staged.
