The commander of the first battalion was originally concurrently served by Gao Wenfeng, but at this time the dog-headed old Gao was in the position south of the city, so Dongfang Yunming appointed Zhang Changwu, the deputy commander of the original fourth battalion, as the new commander of the first battalion, and instructed the task of the first battalion was not to block the reinforcements of the Japanese army, but to lay out an "empty city plan" in the east of Chengde, and lay mines on the roads and traffic points here to delay the actions of the Japanese army. Of course, the minefield laid out can't be full of mines, there are not many real mines, the others are some broken copper and iron, anyway, as long as it can cause the reaction of the mine detector is buried in the soil, the earthen mines are mixed in it, the lethality is really not large, but it is particularly annoying, in addition to black powder, there are also some things such as pepper flour, quicklime and the like, and then on the hillside next to the road under the leadership of the battalion commander Zhang Changwu to shoot cold guns, there have been several small puppet troops passing by, and the result are all scared back by the mines, Later, the devils came to a sapper unit of dozens of people to probe the mines, and suddenly a large number of guns fell, and there were few devils who stood up after the gunshots. For more than a month before the attack on Chengde, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment consumed hundreds of rounds of ammunition for each of their shooting training, and the distance from the improvised position on the hillside to the minefield was only about 100 meters, and the hit rate was basically more than 30 percent. Some of the lucky ones found the right direction, but they couldn't run away from the care of a battalion of light and heavy machine guns, and within a few minutes the dozens of sappers of the devil were all "broken", and the devil commander behind him, Lieutenant Murakami, was angry and commanded his troops to rush towards the position of a battalion on the hillside, but he didn't expect a sudden scream in the sky, followed by a series of explosions, Murakami looked at the troops drowning in the artillery fire, and suddenly felt like crying without tears: You people really don't pay attention to the rules, What kind of minefield is there with such powerful artillery?

When the puppet army in the back saw such a scene, they all ran back desperately, and the volunteers on the opposite side even had cannons, so wouldn't they be looking for death if they didn't run quickly? And the devils here are also at a loss, let's attack, the front is full of mines, and they don't have any decent artillery, and the planes are also on the front line, what to attack, retreat, they just ran away without even seeing the enemy's face, and they could only go back by disembowelment, so they could only ask for "operational guidance" from their superiors. But not to mention their superiors, even Muto Nobuyoshi couldn't mobilize many troops, all on the front line of the Great Wall, and the two wings of the 33rd Brigade had already attacked Chengde from noon, ordering Murakami and their troops to stay still and be prepared to avoid letting the volunteers run away, and after receiving the order, Murakami also reluctantly ordered to defend on the spot, so the battlefield east of Chengde was quiet, and the two sides confronted each other here, and no one attacked.

Dongfang Yunming came out of the café at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Junichi Takeki changed into the major general uniform of the Kwantung Army and left Chengde in a car accompanied by Yoshio Kujo and two soldiers of the reconnaissance company, Dongfang Yunming was not worried about Junichi Takeki escaping, because he was completely unable to run, his legs and feet were not flexible, and he was pressed on his legs by the overturned car last night, and now his legs have been completely wasted, and he used to be able to walk a few steps with crutches, but now he can only use cars and wheelchairs.

To say that Muto Nobuyoshi did not directly fight with Dongfang Yunming and them, he really did not take them seriously, the regular army of hundreds of thousands of national governments on the front line of the Great Wall did not have too strong combat effectiveness, only with their tenacious will to fight to the death and not retreat, it caused trouble to the Kwantung Army, and after a few months of fighting, the front did not advance much, but the strong combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army also caused tens of thousands of casualties to these Chinese miscellaneous armies, and Rehe was completely controlled by the hands of the Great Japanese Empire, no matter how it was calculated, the Kwantung Army did not suffer. Now when the two countries are in peace talks, the news of the loss of Chengde suddenly came, which made Muto Nobuyoshi scold Junichi Takeki for being a "fool", and at the same time, he also hurriedly sent the Tetsuto Wing and Kobayashi United, which belonged to the Takeki Brigade, to quickly recapture Chengde. Junichi Takeki is also a very influential figure in the Japanese military circles, he has joined the army during the Russo-Japanese War, and more than 30 years of battlefield experience makes him only a major general, but he is also very important in the General Staff Headquarters and even the Cabinet, and he has been opposed to the expansion of the war since the "Manchurian Incident" (918 Incident), and is incompatible with those leaders of the General Staff Headquarters, in order to exclude him from the central decision-making level. Muto Nobuyoshi transferred him from the General Staff Headquarters to serve as the commander of the 33rd Independent Mixed Brigade, and let the 33rd Brigade serve as the vanguard of the attack on Rehe. Now Junichi Takeki has an accident in Chengde, Muto Nobuyoshi also has a little schadenfreude in his heart, because there is one less lord and faction in the military circles, of course, the strategic place in Chengde City, no matter what, it must be recaptured, just send two wings of the 33 brigade to come, anyway, as soon as the brigade flag is lost, the number will have to be revoked, so the Tetsuto United and the Kobayashi United must be crazy to attack Chengde, the army of the Great Japanese Empire is strong in combat, and then fight against the water, then it is really a god to kill God, a Buddha to kill Buddha, is there anything that can't be attacked?

As Muto Nobuyoshi expected, more than 7,000 people led by Tetsuto Takayoshi and Kobayashi Naosaburo Osa and Shibata Zang Shaosa of the artillery brigade directly under the brigade rushed to Chengde almost with red eyes, and also gave support to the Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Koiso Kuniaaki Air Force, because the front line of the Great Wall has begun to gradually cease fire, so many aviation forces can already be drawn from the front line, plus the reflection of the puppet army who fled from the direction of Chengde, Chengde's volunteers have a large number of artillery in their hands, Therefore, Koiso Kuniaki did not hesitate to hand over the two army aviation brigades to the command of Tetsuto Takayoshi. Just as Dongfang Yunming came out of the café, two single-wing "92" reconnaissance planes hovered over Chengde.

In order to meet the needs of air defense, Dongfang Yunming and Zhang He moved the headquarters from the summer villa to a private house near the Rong Mansion. Dongfang Yunming walked into the headquarters and asked Zhang He: "Baltu, their cavalry company hasn't come back yet?" ”

"Not yet!" Zhang He replied, "Hey, Dongfang, why did you ask them to go?" ”

"Bring something." Dongfang Yunming smiled mysteriously and said.

"Moving things? You used the cavalry company as a transport brigade, so these Mongolian men are not in a hurry with you? Zhang He asked.

"No, Rehe Province is a mountainous terrain, which is not suitable for large-scale maneuvering of cavalry, when the cavalry company was established, I prepared it for the future in the Chahar and Suiyuan areas, besides, what I let them transport is a secret weapon used to deal with devil planes......"

"Secret weapon?! How did I not know what secret weapon we had? Aren't all our anti-aircraft weapons those Soviet-made anti-aircraft machine guns captured in arsenals? Zhang He asked.

"You are a political cadre, and it is normal for you to have something you don't know about the military." Dongfang Yunming smiled teasingly.

Zhang He glared at him and said, "I was also a platoon commander during the Northern Expedition, a military cadre who was in the middle of the day, and now I am a political commissar because my ideological consciousness is higher than yours." ”

"You can't go any higher, let me ask you, can you be better than me in the analysis of the domestic and foreign situation? If you don't know the situation, no matter how good your ideological consciousness is, it's useless, just like your eyesight is very good but you can't see your fingers in the dark night, and I, Dongfang Yunming, people are as their name suggests, a glimmer of light appears in the clouds in the east, with me, you can see the road clearly! Dongfang Yunming said.

"I've seen thick-skinned people, but I've never seen anyone as thick-skinned as yours."

While the two were talking, the two reconnaissance planes in the air reconnoitred around, but there was nothing particularly valuable, and they did not find the location of the heavy artillery positions of the volunteers (nonsense, they are all hidden on the edge of the woods, and they are well camouflaged, how can the little devil see it with the naked eye from the plane). The arrogant devil pilot felt that it was really boring, and there was still a lot of fuel in the fuel tank of the plane, so the two planes began to fire aimlessly at low altitude in the urban area of Chengde with airborne machine guns, although most of the people had been evacuated, but the two planes still caused a lot of casualties and chaos among the people.

Dongfang Yunming saw the two old-fashioned reconnaissance planes provoking unscrupulously, hating it but there was nothing he could do, if it was placed in the later generations, he would have to reward these two crows with two "avant-garde 2", but when the last mission was carried out in the later generations, the terrorists did not have flying machines, so now don't talk about "avant-garde 2" around him, there is not even a single 40 fire, and the cavalry company of Baltu has not returned. However, it would be too much to hide with their eyes in the eyes, and they would have to find a way to teach these two reconnaissance planes a lesson, and the air defense weapons they prepared would be more effective against a large group of planes than against a single plane, and if these two planes were to be knocked down, the Kwantung Army would have to go crazy, and at that time it would definitely have the air power that could be dispatched.

But what is it to take down these two crows? Dongfang Yunming looked left and right, the soldiers of the guard platoon were all equipped with Thomson submachine guns, and the rate of fire was indeed sufficient, but the bullets used were Colt .45 caliber pistol cartridges, and the muzzle kinetic energy was too low, not to mention shooting at air targets, even flat firing 150 meters away had no lethality, the ZB-26 machine gun was too heavy, and it was basically impossible to aim when a person held it and pointed it in the air, and the ammunition capacity was only 20 rounds, and the firepower was seriously insufficient. Suddenly, he turned around and saw a Mauser Type 98 rifle equipped with a scope in the hand of a guard platoon soldier hidden across the street, and his eyes suddenly lit up: Didn't the Eighth Route Army have an example of "rifle fighting planes", why don't I Dongfang Yunming try?

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the Japanese reconnaissance plane in the air to make a U-turn again, Dongfang Yunming rushed through the street with an arrow step, and ran to the soldier with a sniper rifle despite Zhang He's shout of "what are you going to do", shouting: "Give me the gun!" Without waiting for the soldier to react, he grabbed the sniper rifle, pulled the bolt, saw that it was full of 5 rifle bullets, immediately closed the gun and turned off the safe, carried it on his back, did not even bring spare bullets, ran out of the house, followed the pillars and various protruding parts outside the house, climbed onto the roof in the surprised eyes of the soldiers, turned on the safety of the rifle, adjusted the distance reticle knob on the scope to the scale of 500, lay on the green tile on the roof, and aimed at a plane that had turned the nose of the plane in the distance.

The pilot of the plane turned the nose of the plane and was about to fire at Chengde again, when he suddenly saw a bright spot on the roof of a house in front of him, he was not a soldier of the field army, of course he did not know that this was the reflection of a sniper rifle scope, and since the "Manchurian Incident", the planes of the air force had never been threatened by ground fire, so they were defenseless, and the pilot's curiosity about this bright spot drove him to fly straight to this bright spot, wanting to see what it was.

Because he wanted to see what it was, the plane flew over in an almost horizontal attitude, and when it was more than a thousand meters away from Dongfang Yunming, the pilot could be sure that this highlight on the roof was actually a person, but he hadn't seen what this person was doing on the roof, so he stepped on the accelerator of the plane to the end, and the plane quickly accelerated to a maximum speed of 220 yards and rushed towards Dongfang Yunming.

At a distance of 500 meters, the pilot finally vaguely saw that this person seemed to be a gun in his hand, in fact, he didn't see the gun in Dongfang Yunming's hand clearly, because the muzzle of the gun was facing him, and what he could see from his perspective was only a small part of the gun, and the reason why he felt that it was a gun was because Dongfang Yunming's posture was a posture of holding a gun. At this time, he felt the danger and instinctively wanted to pull up the plane, but it was too late, and Dongfang Yunming's muzzle burst into flames. A 7.92mm bullet flew towards the plane at a speed of more than 800 meters per second, the position where the bullet hit was the engine, the speed of the bullet itself was already large enough, the plane also flew in the opposite direction at the maximum speed, and the two speeds were superimposed, which was equivalent to the bullet hitting the target at a speed of more than 1000 meters per second, and the kinetic energy of the warhead was suddenly amplified by at least half, so the pilot heard a loud abnormal noise from the engine, and at the same time, a fragment of the engine shattered the compartment between it and the cab and cut directly into his abdomen. So Dongfang Yunming, who was on the roof, saw the plane staggering and falling to the ground.

There is a proverb in the West: "Curiosity kills cats!" This time this pilot did not expect to die from his curiosity and defenselessness, let alone that he was the first Japanese pilot to be shot down by the Chinese with a rifle, and only cost one bullet.

Seeing that a reconnaissance plane was shot down by the regimental commander with a rifle, the fighters of the guard platoon opened their mouths in surprise, and then there was a cheer.

Dongfang Yunming has never fought a guy with such a high moving speed before, and the fastest thing he has ever fought is the Wuzhi 10 with low-speed cruise flight, with a horizontal speed of less than 100 yards, or in the annual exercise of the military region, he still uses an anti-materiel rifle, but today he used a medium-caliber sniper rifle to shoot down a fixed-wing plane flying at high speed, he also gained a lot of confidence, and quickly pulled the bolt to replace it with a bullet, and the other plane was behind the position he was lying in just now, so he turned over, and the posture of lying on the roof became lying on the roof, Set up the sniper rifle with the beam as a fulcrum, adjust the distance of the scope to 1000, and place the remaining plane in the center of the crosshair.

The pilot of the second plane did not pay attention to Dongfang Yunming's gunshots, because the plane's engine was very noisy, and there was no radio on the plane, and the two reconnaissance planes could only communicate with each other through gestures and flight attitudes. Just when he was puzzled, a bullet flew in front of him with a slight sonic boom, and then he faintly heard the sound of gunfire, which surprised him, there was anti-aircraft fire on the ground, and he had already flown several times and didn't notice it! He looked in the direction where the bullet flew, but found nothing, that is, now the sun is behind Dongfang Yunming, this angle scope is not reflective, the beam covers most of Dongfang Yunming's body, and it is strange that the reconnaissance plane flying in the sky can see it.

Although the target was not directly discovered, the pilot still flew in the direction where the bullets were coming to see what was going on, but he did not expect that the rifle would also pose a threat to the plane, and he crashed a reconnaissance plane for no apparent reason, and it was difficult to explain if he did not understand what was going on.

So the pilot of this second plane also died of his own curiosity and arrogance. When he flew over, he still subconsciously pulled the * longitudinal rod back, so that the plane slowly climbed up at a small angle, Dongfang Yunming's shot just now was not to hit the plane or the pilot, it was to arouse his curiosity, let him fly in his direction, so that the relative kinetic energy of the bullet could be improved, when the plane was close to a thousand meters, Dongfang Yunming pulled the trigger again, and the bullet still destroyed the engine, but this pilot was lucky, the fragments of the engine did not hit him, and he saw that the plane was out of control, He decisively chose to skydive.

Fortunately, before Dongfang Yunming hit him, the plane had already pulled up a height of dozens of meters, but the Japanese pilot who jumped down had just opened the parachute and fell to the ground shortly after, and just struggled to get up and climbed out of the parachute, he saw more than a dozen black holes pointed at him, he was a pilot, not those field infantry of the army, and he did not have such a noble bushido spirit, and he directly raised his hand and surrendered when he saw this formation.

Junichi Takeki saw the whole process through the telescope handed by Yoshio Kujo from the top floor window of the Easy Cafe, and his face was gloomy as he put down the binoculars. This person not only has a good strategic literacy, but even his marksmanship is so accurate, and the shooting angle he chooses is very exquisite, and he can take a good amount of advance when attacking a plane moving at high speed, and more importantly, he can also aim calmly in the face of an enemy plane rushing towards him, and his psychological quality is not ordinarily good. It seems that even if Qing Shui Twenty-three arrived in Chengde, judging from his unrealistic character, he would never be the opponent of this surnamed Dongfang. This person is only the role of a commander, and there should be people under him who have better marksmanship than him, and he reported to General Muto Nobuyoshi half a month ago that the Nikko avant-garde who wanted to be transferred from the base camp may be difficult to deal with this wolf fang.
