In fact, Jiang Shan's awakening from the general dream of enlightenment just now was completely inspired by the communicator's sentence "poor communication". Although the Japanese army is strong, it has been a long-standing tradition that the various branches of the armed forces do not like each other. During www.biquge.info World War II, the Japanese army did not have an independent air force, but only established the Army Air Force and the Naval Air Force, which belonged to the War Department and the Navy Department respectively. Coordinate operations when needed. However, the key problem is that the arrogant Japanese navy has always looked down on the local army, and the filthy and contradictions between the two sides have emerged one after another, and finally developed to the extreme, and the two sides have never interacted with each other. The most typical example is that the Army, which needs air support, does not have an effective communication mechanism between the two sides when it needs the support of the Naval Air Force. Only the troops in need of support can use primitive methods such as drawing arrows and lighting bonfires on the ground to indicate the target.

The battle situation was stalemate just now, and Jiangshan didn't think much about it. The thought came to his head when he heard the communicator's overheard words. The Japanese army had just invaded China, and there was no time to build an airfield in North China, so the planes that came to support the operation must have been carrier-based planes that took off from aircraft carriers, and they were definitely subordinate to the naval air force. Since the Japanese army has loopholes in this regard, why don't you make good use of it?

Jiang Shan called Song, the elder of the logistics company, to find the white cloth left over from making military uniforms, and ordered several soldiers to spread the white cloth on the position in the shape of the Japanese arrow, but the arrow was turned in a different direction and pointed straight to the Japanese position.

After doing all this, Jiang Shan looked at his watch, estimating that it was almost time for the Japanese plane to fly to the battlefield, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to hide. He pulled Qiao Zhinan to hide in the trench, and the thief said with a smile: "Captain Qiao, wait and watch the show!" ”

Qiao Zhinan was confused by his series of actions, and asked: "You just take a white cloth and put this thing on the ground, and the devil plane can listen to you?" The old god leaned on the trench, took out a cigarette and lit it, spit out a limited eye, and said, "Okay, you'll know in a while." ”

Ten minutes later, the roar of engines was heard in the air, and Jiang Shan looked up and saw several gray-white 96 ship attack formations swaggering from the northeast, circling in circles over the battlefield.

Sakamoto Shun also heard the sound of the plane in the command headquarters, he could no longer hide his excitement, rubbed his hands and kept going around in circles, and said excitedly: "Haha, it's okay now, see how these people resist the plane of the imperial army!" ”

The leader of the Japanese aircraft group was Hidesaku Nishikawa, squadron leader of the second flying squadron on the "Kaga" aircraft carrier; on the Chinese battlefield, Japanese planes have always had no scruples, because nothing can threaten them at all. The planes of the Chinese were already lost at the beginning of the war, and the air defense forces were negligible. Now the airspace of the people of China comes and goes freely like the back garden of their own home.

The wingman next to him swung his wings back and forth, attracting the attention of Nishikawa Shusaku. Through the glass of the cockpit, I saw the wingman pilot stretching out his hand and pointing to the ground, Nishikawa Hidesaku followed his gesture and looked, and a big white arrow on the ground appeared in his sight, which was particularly eye-catching on the battlefield filled with gunsmoke. (At the beginning of World War II, airborne radio technology was relatively immature, so in most air battles, only the captain aircraft carried radios to maintain contact with the ground.) Aircraft and planes basically rely on flight actions to communicate. Nishikawa gave a thumbs up to signal that he had seen his target, then swayed his wings from side to side, signaling his group to follow him and start attacking, then pressing down on the nose and attacking.

On the Japanese position, the soldiers also saw the group of planes of Hidesaku Nishikawa, and as the group entered the attack route, many Japanese soldiers jumped out of the position and waved their weapons and hats at the group, shouting "long live" incessantly, in their opinion, with the help of the planes, it was only a matter of time before the Chinese troops on the opposite position collapsed.

However, it soon became apparent that something didn't seem right. The direction of the plane's dive did not seem to be the position of the Chinese, but flew straight towards itself.

The terrified Japanese soldiers shouted and tried to get the pilot's attention, but the airtight engine room of the 96 ship attacked Nishikawa Hidesaku very well isolated his hearing, and the smoke of the battlefield made it impossible for him to clearly distinguish the ground. But with the guidance of the ground marker, the attack is a logical thing.

Seeing that he had entered the best attack position, Nishikawa Shusaku smiled and pressed the bomb drop button, and the two 200-kilogram aerial bombs mounted under the wings broke free from their restraints and roared towards the ground. Looking at the crowd scattered and fleeing below, he still felt that he was not satisfied, and he pressed the machine gun fire button fiercely, and two 12.7mm machine guns spat tongues of fire, plowing two clouds of smoke and dust in the crowd.

The rest of the Japanese planes saw that the leader had launched an attack, and they were not far behind, and they followed behind the long plane and began to attack. For a time, the sound of explosions, gunfire, desperate wails and angry curses of Japanese soldiers on the Japanese position resounded, and the entire Japanese position was thrown on their backs and in chaos.

By the time Nishikawa Hidesaku led the team to complete the attack and fly away with a swagger, the entire Japanese position could no longer be seen in its original state. Everywhere were the mutilated corpses of Japanese soldiers, the wounded soldiers were lying on the ground groaning helplessly, waiting for death to take them away, all kinds of equipment were discarded on the ground, and the sound of ammunition was being exploded one after another. The entire 21st Infantry Brigade, which would have been lying on the ground like a dead dog, had lost its combat effectiveness.

Shun Sakamoto stared blankly at the scene in front of him, he really wished he was in a nightmare, and in the blink of an eye, the nightmare would wake up, and everything would return to the way it was. But the tingling in his thigh reminded him that these were all facts, and that no matter what, no matter how incredible, his own troops had been wiped out by his own planes.

Shun Sakamoto's command had just been fortunate enough to taste the bombs dropped by his own plane. A 200-kilogram bomb passed through the roof of the command and exploded inside. Due to the proximity of the station to the exit, the orderly pushed himself out, and he was lucky to save his life. Shun Sakamoto came back to his senses and looked at the headquarters that had been blown up. The upper half of the chief of staff was leaning against the wall, looking at him with a strange look, and his lower body was at a strange angle, five or six meters away from him.

Shun Sakamoto retracted his gaze, there was no need to wait for any reinforcements now, the 21st Infantry Brigade was already hopeless, and this defeat was already doomed from the moment he accepted the mission. The Chinese army on the other side is the devil, and I am afraid that I will not defeat them in my life.

He could foresee his fate: he was relieved of his duties, escorted back to his country, and then brought to a military court. What awaits me in the end is definitely a bullet, and there is absolutely no second result.

Shun Sakamoto has lost all faith, the future is dark, and the road back has been cut off. He sighed deeply and drew his command knife......

At the same time that Sakamoto Shun was funeral for the 21st Infantry Brigade in a very disgraceful way, the positions of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade and the 181st Regiment were full of jubilation, and the soldiers shouted excitedly, looking at the miracle of the country in amazement. This magical man can always turn the tide with a stroke of genius at the most critical moment. This kind of battlefield reading ability and quality, in their opinion, is definitely worthy of being called a well-deserved god of war.

Jiang Shan stood quietly, he didn't expect that the idea that came out of a whim could create such a battlefield miracle. Looking at the boiling crowd, Jiang Shan had only one thought: this battle is won! The rest of the matter is to see if Li Zongren and Xu Xiangqian can grasp the fighter and achieve greater results......

At the same time as the 21st Infantry Brigade of Shun Sakamoto was destroyed, the 11th Infantry Wing and the 62nd Infantry Wing of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army also fell into a bitter battle.

In fact, when the 21st Brigade was struggling to survive in the hell of blood and fire, the nearest reinforcements were only 30 miles away from them.

Thirty miles, on the map of the march of the Japanese army, perhaps only a centimeter away, seems so insignificant. With the mobility of the Japanese army, it may be possible to arrive within an hour.

But even one centimeter on this map, a distance of 30 miles, has become a moat that lies in front of the 21st Brigade, measuring victory and defeat, life and death. Until the moment of their destruction, they did not wait for a single soldier to come to the reinforcements.

There is no other reason, at a distance of 30 miles, Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater of the National Revolutionary Army, and Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth Theater, put on him a dense array of three armies, two divisions and an independent brigade, with a total of 80,000 blocking troops! The Eighth Route Army was not far behind, mobilizing more than 10,000 people from the 115th Division, the 183rd Regiment and the 184th Regiment and the Third Column of the Decisive Death to participate in the battle. There is only one purpose: to drag the 21st Infantry Brigade to death, encircle the point to send reinforcements, and severely damage the two Japanese wings that came to reinforce!

Seishiro Itagaki would never have imagined that for the sake of the first squadron of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, which had only 500 people, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party would be able to create such a large formation. In his view, although the KMT and the CPC are now nominally united fronts, the disputes between the two parties cannot be put aside overnight. To expect two teams that look like each other to work together and cooperate tacitly is tantamount to a fool's dream.

It's just that he made a lot of calculations, but he missed the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, the initiator. At present, there are no factions in Jiangshan, and they are completely free to fight between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but they still maintain good relations with the two parties. In view of his early successes, both parties tried desperately to win him over. Since the beginning of the war, the national army has been defeated in successive battles, lost cities and land, and was defeated by the Japanese army, and urgently needs a victory to boost morale and enhance the confidence of the Chinese people in winning the war of resistance. The Falcon Special Operations Brigade appeared in front of the chairman of the committee like a divine soldier when they needed it most, with a halo and proud achievements, how could he be willing to let go of this big pie falling from the sky?

Besides, the Eighth Route Army, although it has the title of the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and it looks dazzling, it actually knows its own suffering. The Eighth Route Army is raised by the queen in the national army sequence, which is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. President Jiang was unwilling to bear the notoriety of not uniting the War of Resistance, so he had to co-opt these former rivals; He was afraid that he would raise tigers and make the Eighth Route Army grow stronger, so he had to stumble everywhere in terms of equipment, personnel, and policies, hoping to use the strength of the Japanese to consume the Eighth Route Army. The various units of the Eighth Route Army spent all day long in this kind of bitter life of not being warmly clothed, underfed, not having enough guns, and running out of ammunition, and naturally it was difficult to say anything about a major improvement in combat effectiveness. Now that such a contingent of its own people has entered the national army and is deeply loved by the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, we must seize this opportunity from any point of view. Taking a step back, even if there is no way to return the Falcon Special Operations Brigade to the establishment now, at least the chairman of the committee must be reluctant to let go of this piece of fragrant bread.

All in all, in short, Jiang Shan and his Falcon Special Operations Brigade are now the common sweets and hearts of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and Seishiro Itagaki dares to fight his idea. It's tantamount to taking food from the mouth of a tiger, so what else can you say? What line contradictions and partisan disputes are put aside, the brothers join forces and beat you without discussion!

100,000 Chinese troops surrounded two Japanese wings, and no matter how big the gap in equipment and the quality of personnel was, the Japanese army could not bear it with the tactics of crowds alone. In the face of the tide of attacks of the Chinese army, the 62nd Wing and the 11th Wing, not to mention any reinforcements to the 21st Brigade, were already struggling to protect themselves. Coupled with the Japanese army's always criticized logistical supply capabilities, in the end, many soldiers of the two wings had already run out of bullets, and began to start a white-knuckle battle with the Chinese soldiers who broke through the position.

Itagaki Seishiro is now riding a tiger and is in a dilemma. On one side, the 21st Brigade led by his classmate friend and old subordinate is difficult to support alone, and on the other side, the two elite wings of the Japanese army are difficult to advance an inch, and it is difficult to choose whether to abandon or value which one. If it continues like this, not to mention that the 21st Brigade cannot be saved, the 62nd Wing and the 11th Wing may also fall into the encirclement of the Chinese army, and then the chickens and eggs will be empty; But if he wanted to give up the 21st Brigade like this, he really couldn't make up his mind.

When the news of the annihilation of the 21st Brigade and the suicide of the brigade commander Shun Sakamoto seppuku came, Seishiro Itagaki felt a faint sense of relief while feeling heartache and anger. At this point, the overall situation of the defeat of the war situation was irretrievable, and the top priority at the moment was to order the two wings that had gone for reinforcements to quickly retreat and disengage from contact with the Chinese army, so as to preserve their own strength.

The 11th and 62nd Wings, which had been struggling to support, received the retreat order from Seishiro Itagaki and were naturally overjoyed. The commanders of the two wings unanimously gave the order to deal with the wounded on the spot, abandon unnecessary supplies, reduce the burden, and speed up the retreat. For a time, in the field hospital of the Japanese army, the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army who were difficult to move committed suicide one after another, or opened fire, or cut their stomachs, and some simply hugged a few people together and pulled grenades.

Since stepping on the battlefield in China, when has the arrogant Japanese army ever been so embarrassed? When the news reached the Chinese army, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted and they launched a surprise attack one after another. The Japanese defense line was in danger of collapsing on the entire front.

Finally solved their mess, and the two Japanese wings began to accelerate out of the battlefield and retreat in the direction of Wuhu.

It's easy to come, but it's not easy to go! The Falcon Special Operations Brigade, which had just been withdrawn from the Xiaogushan battlefield and joined the Chinese army, did not agree.

Jiangshan was surrounded by the 21st Brigade in Xiaogushan, if it weren't for Qiao Zhinan with the reinforcement of the 181st Regiment, the First Squadron of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade would have become history. Although in the end, with a tenacious will to fight and a stroke of genius, the 21st Brigade was completely annihilated, but the 1st Squadron itself also lost nearly 200 soldiers. In the words of Jiang Shan, this is what makes people press the ground and beat fat, and beat the gray face.

Seeing that the Japanese army was about to withdraw, the country was ruthless, when did the Falcon Special Operations Brigade suffer such a big loss? Do you want to pat your ass and walk away? Dream on!

With red eyes, Comrade Commander gave an order, and the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, which had just been assembled not long ago, was broken into pieces and began a non-stop harassment operation behind the retreating Japanese troops. Jiang Shan even went into battle in person and launched a retaliatory action.

Shooting cold guns, planting mines, and all kinds of combat methods emerged one after another. Poison the water source, touch the enemy's sentry, and in the words of the country: "I don't care what means you use, even if it's indiscriminate!" There is only one purpose! Destroy the living forces of the Japanese army, and you can't let them go back with a swagger and comfort like this! ”

In order to slow down the Japanese army's marching speed, Jiang Shan simply issued an order that looked like a gloomy attack, but the effect was extremely obvious -- when the battle was being fought, it was enough to kill the Japanese soldiers and make them incapacitated, but for the Japanese vehicles, the first requirement was to destroy them.

According to statistics, on the battlefield, the reduction of the entire combat effectiveness of the injured target is three times that of a direct kill, and to take care of a wounded soldier, you need at least one able-bodied soldier, and to bring back the incapacitated soldier, in the absence of sufficient transport, then at least two healthy people are needed. The marching speed and reaction speed of the entire team will inevitably be dragged down. Moreover, the presence of the wounded and sick will also create great stress on the psychology of healthy soldiers.

If the Japanese want to take away the wounded, the speed of the march will definitely be greatly reduced, and the various teams of the falcons will be like a trailing wolf pack, looking for an opportunity to bite hard at any time, although the bite is not fatal, but piecemeal, the results of the battle will definitely be considerable; If the Japanese army ruthlessly gave up the wounded and accelerated the retreat, the blow to morale would be almost devastating, and the Japanese troops attached great importance to the corpses of the dead in battle, and would try to bring them back as long as their ability and conditions permitted. Now that even the wounded soldiers have to give up, who else wants to send them to their deaths? Besides, Gu Yanjun doesn't mind such a situation, anyway, your wounded soldiers still have to be counted in my results. Don't forget, the tradition of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade is not to be taken prisoner by the Japanese!

The Falcon's various special operations teams, like bloodthirsty sharks, follow behind their prey. The two Japanese wings couldn't shake them off, and they didn't dare to turn back and face each other head-on. Behind the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, there are nearly 100,000 Chinese troops eyeing them. They were hoping that the Japanese would stop and have a chance to rush up. By that time, it is estimated that these two brigades will not even be left with scum!

The disgraced Japanese abandoned their heavy equipment and wounded in order to speed up and get away from the pursuit of the Chinese army. Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese army has always been chased by the Japanese army and ran around, so did you ever think that now the prey and the hunter have reversed their roles, so high-eyebrow to drive the Japanese army like a hare all over the mountains? Naturally, he was happy to bite the Japanese army, and when he ran into a lone Japanese army or a Japanese army behind the palace, he would be beaten up without saying a word! And these guys also seem to have been infected by the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, and they are ruthless and leave no prisoners! There were already several teams of Japanese soldiers behind them, and there were no bones left in their hands.

Just like this, one run, one chase, the Japanese army lost their armor all the way to the vicinity of Wuhu, and joined the second cavalry wing that came to meet them, and Jiangshan ordered the squads to stop the pursuit and withdraw to rest the original way.

In this battle, Itagaki Seishiro's Fifth Division can be said to have lost its wife and troops, not only failed to achieve the campaign goal of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, but lost the entire 21st Infantry Brigade, and the 11th Wing and the 62nd Wing, which went to reinforce it, were also lost. Together, the three armies lost nearly 20,000 casualties, and countless supplies and equipment were discarded. In terms of the Chinese army, the Falcon Special Operations Brigade lost 171 people and wounded 84 people, the 181st Regiment that came to reinforce 297 people killed and 155 wounded, and the other Chinese troops who participated in the battle lost a total of 1,446 killed and 2,287 wounded, and the ratio of soldiers to casualties was close to 1:10 between the Chinese and Japanese armies!

The news spread, and the whole country was shocked. Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese people have become accustomed to hearing the news of the defeat and retreat of the national army, the loss of cities and land, and even numbness. The brilliant achievements of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade are like a fresh breeze that has blown away the gloom that lingers in the hearts of the Chinese people. For the first time, many people know that on the land of China trampled by the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders, there is still a team like Falcon, relying on the infinite hatred of the Japanese invaders, with infinite loyalty to the motherland and the nation, fighting to the death against the Japanese invaders, and has achieved brilliant results; I also know that there is such a unit as the Eighth Route Army, which is stubbornly fighting behind enemy lines!

With regard to such a brilliant record, the top echelons of the Kuomintang naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity to publicize themselves and inspire people. For a time, this Falcon Special Operations Brigade, which appeared out of nowhere, became a model and model for the anti-Japanese military and people throughout the country. Newspapers and radio stations are even more overwhelming in publicity. Condolence groups from all over the country, with determination and courage comparable to the Japanese army's charge, broke through the blockade and rushed to the temporary assembly site of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, just to see the true face of the hero.

The Supreme Command of the National Army even threw the highest honor on Jiangshan and the Falcon Special Operations Brigade: He awarded the rank of Brigadier General of the National Revolutionary Army to the head of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, the Order of Yunlu of the Second Class, and the Zhongzheng Sabre of the First Class. Liang Jianbin, deputy captain of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, was awarded the Order of National Glory and the second-class Zhongzheng Sabre on an exceptional basis; The rest of them were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, either by different military ranks or with different medals. All the fallen soldiers of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Loyalty and Bravery, and they will be given preferential pensions.

With such great effort, the Nationalist Government naturally hoped to win over the country and the falcon, so that this victory would seem justified.

However, after the representatives of the Nationalist Government who brought the uniforms, medals, and swords of the generals of the national army, and the representatives of the condolence groups from all walks of life, they came to the headquarters of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade with great hope after going through a lot of hardships and hopes, but they were disappointed to find that they were greeted only by the "small characters" of mountain wolves and leopards, and the main owners, Jiangshan and Liang Jianbin had long since disappeared, and even Li Zongren, who had a good personal relationship with Jiangshan, was also confused about the whereabouts of the two people.
