020 Skynet is magnificent but not leaky
Tetsuto Takayoshi drew his command knife and ordered the entire wing to charge to the high ground on the east side, but as soon as he walked out of the bright area, he was smashed back by grenades flying from the high ground, and the light and heavy machine guns also changed from short point fire to long point fire and burst fire, and the bullets in the back kept coming, so he had to order an attack in the direction of Chengde along the highway in an effort to break through the encirclement.
But how could Xu Yihang let him run away like this, it was the second battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness that intercepted the Japanese army from the road, and Xu Yihang, Xu Erhang and Xu Jinchuan were all waiting for him in front of Tetsuto Takayoshi. In the process of breaking through, you can see the excellent fighting quality of the Japanese army, the Japanese army that was suddenly attacked still maintained a strict formation under the fire of the volunteers and retreated in an orderly manner in the direction of Chengde, and in the process of retreat, they also continued to shoot at the high ground on both sides, although the night environment was not clear at all, but there were always lucky devils who hit a few volunteers when they were lucky.
It's a pity that no matter how good the fighting quality is, it is useless, just when the 87th Wing rushed in the direction of the second battalion, the night sky once again sounded a terrifying chirp that made the little devil creepy, and a devil machine gunner at the front fell in response. Although the sound of gunfire on the battlefield was deafening, almost all the devils clearly heard the sound that symbolized the coming of death.
The 87th Wing can be said to be the first Japanese army unit to learn Xu Yihang's magic arrow skills, when he was in Heling, even if Xu Yihang was caught off guard, he caused dozens of casualties to the devils who participated in the attack, and was finally rescued by Xu Erhang, and later heard that Xu Yihang was also the target on her blacklist under the protection of the Kwantung Army's heavy soldiers who shot continuously with bows and arrows in Chengde, which made Tetsuto Takayoshi also have lingering palpitations about Xu Yihang, after all, he was the last target on Xu Yihang's blacklist.
Under the cover of night, the little devil couldn't see where the bow and arrow came from, he could only hear the sound of the arrow, as if there was a sound of the arrow flying in the air and never landed, it seems that the rumors of Xu Yihang before were true, the speed of her archery could really make the sound of the arrow continuous, and at the same time, dozens of tongues of fire erupted from the darkness in front, and the dense bullets flew towards the offensive formation of the 87th Wing, and the ghost soldiers in front fell one after another.
At this moment, the Japanese army was completely unable to bear it, especially a continuous sound of chirping and hammering broke their mental defense, the formation had begun to scatter and constantly retreated, Tetsuto Takayoshi could not prevent the loss of morale, because fear was also full of his heart, Xu Yihang's blacklist of people down to Ensign Ono, up to General Takeki, none of them were spared, and he was the last. In the continuous sound of the drum, Tetsuto Takayoshi seemed to see the Grim Reaper approaching him step by step, and his hand holding the saber began to tremble unconsciously, and he stood in place in a daze.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chief of Staff Yoshida Masafumi Nakasa dragged Tetsuto Takayoshi and said to him: "Your Excellency, retreat to the south quickly, otherwise the 87th and 88th Wings will be finished if this continues." ”
Tetsuto Takayoshi was stunned and ordered: "Retreat, retreat quickly!" ”
As soon as the order to retreat was issued, the devils who were originally within the range of the Ming Di arrow in front immediately collapsed, and they didn't care about the commander's slashed saber directly disrupting the formation behind. Xu Yihang seized the opportunity to order the soldiers of the second battalion to charge immediately, and pressed the scattered Japanese troops with light machine guns, but the soldiers of the second and fourth battalions did not charge, but kept shooting on the high ground on both sides, the two wings of the Japanese army left countless corpses and fled in the direction of Beiping, the second battalion chased the Japanese army past their original camp and then stopped the pursuit, the commander of the eastern regiment had an order to reduce his own casualties as much as possible, and it seems that there are not many devils who have escaped, there is no need to continue the pursuit, So Xu Yihang ordered to clean up the battlefield, gather the troops and march in the direction of Zhangjiakou.
In this battle, Dongfang Yunming just wanted to have a general understanding of what kind of combat effectiveness the Japanese army's first-class field troops were, and the dozens of battles with the Kwantung Army before were with second- and third-rate troops such as logistics and military police, and in later generations he only vaguely understood the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army from historical materials, but the difference in the description of the combat strength of the Japanese army in different materials is not small, so he needs to test it specifically in order to have a clear test standard for future training, otherwise he will directly order the 87th and 88th wings to be put into Chengde, Solving them with IED will not make the second battalion pay dozens of casualties and engage with the Japanese army.
There was a slight light in the eastern sky, the Japanese army stopped after retreating for dozens of miles, Tetsuto Takayoshi ordered the chief of staff, Yoshida Masafumi, to check the losses of the troops, and an hour later, Yoshida Nakasa came over with a pale face, and said to Tetsuto Takayoshi: "Your Excellency Osa, not counting the 2nd Brigade of the 87th Wing as the vanguard, there are more than 1,200 casualties, more than 1,800 casualties of the 88th Wing, and all the more than 900 people in the artillery brigade from Shibata Shaosa to the lower part of the jade are broken, and the officer losses are about two-thirds, Kobayashi Naosaburo Osayu is broken, All heavy weapons were lost, and ammunition averaged less than 5 rounds per person......"
Tetsuto Takayoshi closed his eyes in despair, the brigade flag was lost, the personnel and equipment were lost, and the 33rd Brigade was finished, so he said to Yoshida: "Yoshida-kun, report the situation truthfully to the Kwantung Army Headquarters and ask for instructions on the next step!" Report to Admiral Muto that Tetsuto Takayoshi failed to recapture Chengde, and he is ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor! ”
"Your Excellency Osa......"
"Say no more, carry out the order!" Tetsuto Takayoshi said.
"Hey!" Yoshida nodded and left. When he returned from sending a telegram to the Kwantung Army headquarters, he found that Tetsuto Takayoshi had already faced the east and cut himself.
When the telegram was received in the communication room of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Muto Nobuyoshi was still asleep, and the deputy chief of staff, Okamura Ninji, knocked on his door and handed him the telegram with a pale face, seeing the telegram Muto Nobuyoshi's hands trembled, all the main forces of a brigade totaled more than 7,000 people, and nearly 5,000 people were lost in one night, and they didn't even know the specific situation of the enemy, Tetsuto Takayoshi and Kobayashi Naosaburo were simply pigs, as their direct commanders, Junichi Takeki was no better, It seems that he is almost the end of his life as the commander of the Kwantung Army. The angry Muto Nobuyoshi ordered: "Secretly report to the General Staff Headquarters to revoke the number of the 33rd Independent Mixed Brigade, order Koiso Kuniaki to transfer the 8th Division of the Kwantung Army from the front line of the Great Wall to attack Chengde, and be sure to take it within 24 hours, and in addition, immediately dispatch all the aviation forces of the Kwantung Army to bomb the positions of the volunteers on the periphery of Chengde." ”
"Hey!" Okamura replied, "Your Excellency, Commander, if you want the Special High School to immediately purge all hostile spies in Manchuria, I am afraid that if Chiang Kai-shek knows that Chengde has been captured by the Volunteers and that we have lost a brigade but have not been able to recapture it, he will bargain with us at the negotiating table, and if the Soviet side knows the news, we will also be very passive." ”
"Well, it makes sense, not only spies, but also inside the Kwantung Army, the news must be tightly sealed, otherwise those anti-war elements in the country will have to make trouble again!" Muto Nobuyoshi said.
"Hey! By the way, Commander, why not just bomb Chengde? Wouldn't that be a bigger blow to the Volunteers? Okamura asked.
"Stupid! Chengde is an important material distribution center for the Kwantung Army to fight southward in the future, and the direct bombing of Chengde is not equivalent to telling the world that our Kwantung Army has not yet taken Chengde? ”
"Hey, Commander Wise, retire from your position!" Looking at the back of Okamura Ningji leaving, Muto Nobuyoshi rubbed his swollen temples vigorously, and the successive bad news made his already old body deteriorate.
Early in the morning, a round of red sun has appeared on the horizon, the Japanese airfield in Jinzhou began to be busy, the ground crew hung 100kg bombs on 26 Type 92 fighters, at this time Japan did not have bombers specifically for ground bombing, and the Chinese side did not have any decent air force, so the ground attack mission was completed by the Type 92 biplane fighters, and the 26 fighters full of fuel and bombs flew into the sky one after another, flying towards Chengde under black pressure.
At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the group flew over Chengde, but after going around Chengde, they found nothing, and the entire Chengde was almost as silent as death. Didn't you say that the casualties of the infantry brigades were quite large? It was as if there was no one in Chengde, but this was not the point he should be concerned about, and he was given the order to find the artillery position outside the city of the Volunteers and destroy it.
The group continued to fly south, and from a distance, dozens of artillery pieces were neatly arranged on the ground and a mess of ammunition boxes next to them. Kazuo Taki smiled contemptuously and said to himself: "The people of China are really a bunch of frogs at the bottom of the well, and they actually placed such an important artillery position in such an open place without any camouflage. So he swung his wings a few times, took the lead and dived downward, and the group behind him also dropped altitude into the attack route.
Baltu, who had been waiting in the grass a few hundred meters away and nearly one meter deep, looked at the Japanese plane gradually decreasing in altitude in the distance and said with a smile to the platoon leader Zige next to him: "The regiment commander is really accurate, the little devil is really the first to bomb here, and even the little devil's plane is not bad at all, do you say that the regiment commander has flown a plane?" ”
"How do I know, I guess, or how do I know how the little devil came?" Ziggy replied as he stared at the plane in the sky.
"But I can't see that these 'Drill Monkeys' of ours can deal with the big birds of the devils."
"I don't know what the head of the regiment thinks, anyway, follow what he said!" Ziggy replied.
"Well, brothers, it's time to work!" Baltu shouted.
More than 200 people of the cavalry company immediately cheered up, more than half of them lit the dry smoke, and held a lead in their left hand, and at the end of the lead, rockets more than a meter long and a foot thick stood almost straight.
Kazuo Taki's plane was already approaching the start of the dive trajectory, and Baltu shouted, "Ignition!" Everyone lit the fuse with dry smoke, and then left the position just now as fast as possible, a few seconds later, a large amount of smoke came out of the grass, and dozens of rockets rose into the sky one after another, the spectacle of the scene startled Kazuo Tagi, who was accelerating and diving, what is this? But if you look closely, you feel a false alarm, these things with a strong tail flame fly directly into the air, far away from the fighter group, do these people want to use this strange thing to deal with the planes of the Great Japanese Empire? Joke! So he continued to dive, and the planes behind saw that the long plane had not changed its track and followed into a dive.
Suddenly, dozens of artillery pieces were drowned in the billowing smoke and dust of the bomb explosion, and the Japanese planes pulled up one after another, but at this time, Kazuo Taki felt that something was wrong, what was that in the sky? Baltu and the others also looked at the air in a daze, only to see that the rockets flew all over the sky one by one, and after the explosion, fishing nets appeared in the sky, and a Japanese plane dodged left and right in the end but failed to dodge, and crashed into a large net, and then the plane was planted straight to the ground as if it suddenly ran out of strength, and the planes behind were planted one after another as if copying the actions of the first plane.
This is Dongfang Yunming's damage tactics against Japanese planes, inspired by the game on his mobile phone - "Fishing Master". A month ago, he asked the Rongjia Chamber of Commerce to order fishing nets everywhere, the more the better, and required the mesh of the fishing net to be one meter square, the size of each fishing net should be fifty to one hundred meters square, the rope of the net should be thicker than the ordinary fishing net, and the dry weight of each net is about thirty catties, which makes everyone scratch their heads. But the dry weight of thirty catties is not too strong. Rong Shi asked Dongfang Yunming if he was wrong about the size, what was such a big net for? As a result, Dongfang Yunming told him that it was used to catch birds, which made Rong Shi even more confused, but he still ordered more than 200 fishing nets for him according to his requirements. After that, Dongfang Yunming asked people to find craftsmen who made fireworks in ten miles and eight towns, and asked them to make a batch of extra-large "drill monkeys", which should be able to send a 30-kilogram net to a height of more than 400 meters and then explode, throw the net out, and the internal volume should be enough to hold propellants and fishing nets. This is not a difficult thing for craftsmen, that is, according to the numbers calculated by Dongfang Yunming, the amount of gunpowder and the volume of the projectile body are increased on the basis of the normal "Drilling Monkey", and then a lead is used to cause the explosion of the warhead after the propellant is burned, and even the gunpowder formula of the warhead Dongfang Yunming has given, which is an N4 type black powder used for the ejection of biological and chemical weapon warheads.
This trick is the Japanese army can not calculate in any way, at this time the planes are slow, low altitude biplanes, dive bombing when the lowest point altitude is generally below 100 meters, so when the Japanese plane just entered the dive, Baltu they ignited and launched, these rockets have no accuracy at all, flying all over the sky, when the height reaches about 400 meters, the warhead explosion makes these large nets all over the sky, and the Japanese planes that have completed the dive and bombing must be pulled up at this time, The maneuverability of the aircraft in the climb is the worst, can only be seen into these "heaven and earth nets", although the holes of these nets are one meter square, but it is not the plane can drill through, the harm of these nets in the future generations of fishermen on the seashore are deeply touched, once the propeller touches these soft nets will immediately roll it in, can not turn a few times the propeller can not turn, the aircraft engine and the propeller are rigidly connected, the propeller stops, the engine immediately turns off and causes the air to stop or the transmission shaft breaks, The result of the loss of power of the plane is self-evident, a net is tens of meters square, the pilot is also wrapped in it, and it is too late for the pilot to struggle out of the net, it is too late to fly low, and the crash is a matter of more than ten seconds, and the big net in the sky, even if the technology is good to dodge one, there are still a few waiting for him behind, and some of them collided with the friendly plane next to them when they dodged, and the 21 Japanese pilots saw their Aunt Amaterasu without knowing it. Only the last five planes saw that the situation was not good, stopped their dive maneuvers in time, and escaped from the area covered by the "Skynet" and survived, but they did not dare to continue the attack, hastily threw down the bombs mounted under the belly of the plane, turned around and fled.
Baltu and their cavalry even looked stupid on the ground, and after a long time, everyone broke out into excited cheers, and Zig said with tears in his eyes (smoked by the thick smoke of black powder): "Company commander, look at our regiment commander's trick is really amazing, how do you say it, what is Skynet?" ”
"Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky!" Baltu replied.
"Ah, yes, yes, that's it, look at these sparrows of the little devils still dare to be arrogant!"
"Okay, don't be blindly happy, hurry up, pack up the bracket, and chase the head of the group, hey, by the way, have you counted how many sparrows we caught in this net?" Baltu asked.
"Ouch, I patronized and watched the excitement, but I didn't pay attention! But there must be at least a dozen of them, so let's report to the head of the regiment like this! The second platoon commander Wu Jichi said.
Baltu scolded: "You guys who have never seen the world, just watch the fun!" ”
"You're not the same, company commander, let's not say anyone!" Ziggy said unconvinced.
Baltu was dumb, Ziggy was right, and he was watching the excitement.
