Chapter 173: Bloody Battle of Guanghuamen (I)

When the Japanese plane appeared, Qin Feng and the others had already rushed to a place not far from Guanghuamen with the weapons and ammunition they had picked up, and they couldn't go any further, because there were too many national army troops gathered here in Guanghuamen. A large group of black dots appeared in the sky northeast of the position, and the shouts of the officers and veterans of the national army on the defensive line were one after another, calling for their men and the soldiers around them to prepare for air raids. Qin Feng didn't dare to slack off, while asking the truck to return to the safety zone to stand by, and on the other hand, he wanted the routs who jumped out of the carriage to find a place to hide.

The black dots in the sky soon approached the defense line of the national army, and the dull humming sound of the Japanese planes made people feel uneasy from the heart, Qin Feng looked up and saw those Japanese planes swooping down from a height of hundreds of meters, these damn Japanese fighters were like a group of crows rushing to prey on the corpses at this time. "Hidden! Take cover! A deafening roar sounded in his ears, and before Qin Feng could react, his arm was pulled hard, and the whole person immediately lay on the ground.

Qin Feng turned his head to look, only to see that the man surnamed Liu, who had disappeared just now, was glaring at him angrily, and then crawled straight past him, shouting and beckoning the routs who had dispersed to pay attention to concealment. Qin Feng still wanted to turn over and get up, but suddenly heard a strange scream coming from above his head, because of the reclining posture, Qin Feng could naturally turn his gaze towards the sky without turning his head. I saw a Japanese fighter plane whizzing and diving down from the sky, and just a few seconds later, a number of Japanese fighter planes were whizzing and diving down.

The low altitude of the Japanese fighters' dive made Qin Fengzhi, who was lying on the ground, smack his tongue, not only the plaster mark and wheels under the wings were clearly visible, but even the rivets on the fuselage could be vaguely distinguished, and the pylons on their bellies and under the wings where bombs were previously hung were already empty at this time. Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The bombs that landed one after another exploded one after another, and the violent explosions like landslides and ground cracks continued to shake the earth, and the almost non-stop explosions became louder.

The smoke rising from the explosion was stronger than the heavy artillery attack of the Japanese army, and the soldiers of the national army in Qin Feng's sight were almost shocked off the ground even if they were lying down, not to mention staying standing. The continuous and intense impact made Qin Feng feel as if his internal organs were about to burst, his hands were tightly covering his ears, and his mouth was desperately open, but his eardrums were still painful from the explosion.

As the explosion took off, the dust and mud obscured the sight of the defenders, and they flew high into the air one after another, and under the action of gravity, they returned to the ground with strong kinetic energy, and the pain of falling directly on the soldiers' steel helmets was conceivable. The landslide and tsunami-like explosion lasted for three to five minutes, and more than a dozen Japanese fighters had swooped over Guanghua Gate, and the anti-aircraft guns of the defenders on the city gate kept roaring all the time, but there was no obvious effect.

In fact, Qin Feng, who was holding his ears with his hands, closed his eyes most of the time, and only looked up at his surroundings with difficulty during the brief interval when the intensity of the explosion weakened slightly.

I persevered like this, and waited until the tremor on the ground gradually subsided, and then I struggled to stand up and sit up. Qin Feng was already deaf at the moment, and he couldn't hear anything other than the constant buzzing. Turning his head to look left and right, he saw that the big cow, which was also covered in mud, was turning over from behind a pile of rubble and sitting up, Qin Feng's hanging heart could be regarded as falling to the ground. Looking at the position of the national army in the distance with a telescope, Qin Feng was immediately stunned by what he saw, the two anti-aircraft machine guns that were still shooting at the air just now on the head of Guanghuamen City had already disappeared at this time.

The place where the anti-aircraft machine gun was originally set up was shrouded in gunsmoke that had not yet dissipated, and Qin Feng saw in the telescope that more than one national soldier was struggling to dig the collapsed position with the tools in his hand to try to rescue the people below. "Prepare for battle, the Japanese army is coming, the Japanese army is coming." The hoarse shouts of the veterans spread at an alarming speed, but there were also many soldiers like Qin Feng who were temporarily deaf due to the bombing of the planes.

"Hidden, hidden, the devil plane is here again." The man surnamed Liu, who had previously pulled Qin Feng over, kept shouting in the smoke and ruins, and several Japanese fighters swooped in at high speed from a height of several hundred meters, and their chic movements were like winged eagles soaring in the nine heavens, and the weak firepower rising from the ground could no longer stop their dive strafing. The power of aircraft strafing is different from the Japanese ground attack, and after the defenders' ground fire can no longer contain the Japanese fighters' dive attack, the defenders on the ground will become a live target for the Japanese fighters to dive and strafe.

Dense raindrops of cannon bullets scattered down from mid-air, and the defenders who had just experienced the bombardment and were still a little confused were torn to pieces by the Japanese machine guns. The angry defenders raised their guns to shoot at the Japanese fighters, but they didn't know that the rifles in their hands were not enough to deal with the Japanese planes, so more defender soldiers could only point at the Japanese fighters when the Japanese fighters flew overhead, pointing at the Japanese fighters and scolding.

The Japanese fighters that swooped down once again blew through the defenders' positions like the wind, and the wings of these Japanese fighters soon appeared with a burst of gunfire, and the dense barrage of bullets pounced on the entire Guanghuamen position, like a huge thunderstorm. "Hidden, hidden." Qin Feng shouted and shrank to the base of the broken wall with his rifle. When countless cannon bullets fell from the sky and pierced into the dirt or human body, Qin Feng, who had his eyes closed, felt like a dead leaf trembling in the wind.

For those in war, death can sometimes be a relief, but those who are alive still have to fight for survival. Tossing the defenders' positions into ruins, the satisfied Japanese fighters finally left, and in the urging of the officers and veterans, the heads wearing German steel helmets began to emerge one after another on the defenders' positions that had escaped the catastrophe, and most of the soldiers were nervous and panicked but had to make an indifferent look and raise their guns to aim at the Japanese troops who were rushing outside the city.

"Get up, get up, stay here and wait for death." Qin Feng, who had recovered a little sobriety, rushed to the street and kicked and beat the routs who were lucky enough to survive one by one. "We don't have heavy weapons, and going to Guanghuamen to help in the battle can only disrupt the defensive rhythm of the national army's troops, so we retreat, find a place to wait, and wait to fight street battles with the Japanese troops who broke into the city." The gunfire and shouts of killing in the Guanghuamen position had already resounded, and Qin Feng and the hastily assembled rout emptied an ammunition truck that was lying on the side of the street unattended, and then retreated back along the deserted street.
