The word "purgatory" comes from the Latin verb purgare, which means to refine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In the tradition of the Western Church, purgatory refers to the process of refining a person after death, purifying the human body from sin, and is an experience of purification in the process of reaching the state of perfection (heaven) through death. In non-Christian religions, many anthropomorphic terms are also used to express the idea of purgatory, such as reincarnation or the condition of the soul in hell. But for Lin Jun, the religious explanations are worthless: "purgatory" – a "barbecue feast" for Japanese pigs that can only be reduced to ashes in the fire so that they do not pollute the world.

When the "Golden Eagle" squadron of Porunin flew to Wusongkou, the formation of I-16 planes piloted by Prokofiev and Savakov of the Nanjing Colonel Factory also took off, and they will test the power of solidified ****** for the first time in actual combat. The two I-16s did not fly to Luodian as planned yesterday, but their target was the Jiangwan area -- this morning, the Colonel Factory received a report from the ground forces at the front: The Japanese army was launching a fierce attack on the salient of its own position in Jiangwan, and the battle was extremely hard, hoping to receive close support from the air force. The idea of this close support was come up with Lin Jun, and he had a consultation with Zhou Zhirou when he first arrived in Nanjing the day before yesterday, or many officers in the ground forces still don't know what "close air support" is.

In the early stage of the Battle of Songhu, the Air Force also threw the vast majority of its air strike force into air strikes against the Japanese invaders, but generally carried out air strikes on enemy naval ships and some large targets on the second line, and had almost no close support on the ground front line -- the equipment of the air force bomber unit was not suitable for close support, and it lacked suitable dive bombers like the Soviet Air Force at that time. Fortunately, Lin Jun has Yi 16 in his hands.

The two I-16s were at full load, and Sergeant Major Vasily not only mounted a 200-kilogram solidification ****** under the belly of the two I-16s, but also installed a 30-kilogram anti-personnel bomb at each of the original suspension of the auxiliary fuel tanks.

Prokofiev, who was in the cabin, was in a particularly good mood today, and after yesterday's meeting, Commander-in-Chief Andlupuv told himself that he and Comrade Andrei were already drafting an application for the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" for themselves, and there was only one nomination for himself on the report, and the reason for the nomination was that he led a team to sink the Japanese aircraft carrier "Longchamp", shot down eight Japanese planes in one sortie, and shot down a total of 11 Japanese planes in three sorties in one day.

Prokofiev knew that one or two of the other pilots barely met the criteria for the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union," but this time he had only one nomination for himself — a deliberate arrangement by the two chiefs. He also had seven records in Spain, and with the addition of yesterday's ones, the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" was nine out of ten, and the two chiefs postponed the nominations of others in order to make this "nine out of ten" become "100 percent".

"It's a special love for yourself!" Prokofiev knew it in his heart.

Flying the wingman behind him today is Lieutenant Savakov of the 1st Fighter Squadron, who also participated in the dive bombing of the "Longchamp" yesterday and shot down three Japanese planes in the three air battles that followed. Before the attack, Comrade Andrei also explained that he and Savakov had thrown the bomb at the place where the fighting was most intense, and that they should see it before throwing it, and never hurt their own people.

Prokofiev knew how powerful the solidified ****** was, and if it was thrown on his own people, it would cause a big mess, so the chief arranged for himself and Savakov to be the first planes to attack. Before the attack, the two men had carefully checked the latest positions of friend and foe in the Jiangwan area on the aerial map, and the place they were going to was a university.

Guarding the front line of Jiangwan is the 34th Division, and the salient of the division's position is in the direction of Fudan University, where the battle is also the fiercest, and the fiercest battle is unfolding on the position in front of the library.

The main force of the Japanese army attacking Jiangwan was the 3rd Division, and after a burst of fierce artillery preparation, the Japanese army actually launched a group charge in the direction of Fudan University with a wing as a unit!

"Deputy squad leader, the devil is coming up again!" A young soldier shouted to his deputy squad leader.

In the distance, the Japanese troops were slowly advancing to their positions in a line of dozens of skirmishers, and unlike the previous attacks, this time the number of Japanese troops in this attack was almost three times that were in the previous ones, and there were several tanks that had never appeared in this area before. The Chinese soldiers on the position did not know: due to the almost devastating blow to the Japanese aviation forces in the Songhu area yesterday, the Japanese troops attacking in the morning received a death order to take the positions of the Chinese troops on the Jiangwan line before 18 o'clock! They no longer have air support, and only by destroying the defense line and will of the Chinese army as soon as possible can they make up for the losses suffered in the air -- to put it bluntly, they can use human flesh tactics to achieve a decisive victory on the ground as soon as possible.

The Chinese soldiers of this squad are at the forefront of the position in the library of Fudan University, and there are less than 20 people in a platoon alive after the two attacks of the Japanese army, and the platoon commander has already died, and the squad leader has also broken his legs by a Japanese shell and has been sent to the rear, and the situation of other squads is similar, and now this tall deputy squad leader is already the highest position in the platoon. Since before the Japanese attack, the teachers and students of Fudan University and the people in the vicinity have been supporting the front line, they have sent physical goods, brought wooden planks for building fortifications, and many of the wooden planks were dismantled teachers' doors, and they also braved the Japanese artillery fire to evacuate the wounded.

Someone once asked a college student who brought in the planks, "Why did you bring all the classroom doors?" ”

"You can't go to class if you don't have a door, and if the country dies, it's useless to keep it." The soldier's answer was very crisp.

"The anti-tank gun on the rear position (that is, what we often call the anti-tank gun, in fact, its role is not only limited to fighting tanks, but also a good hand for destroying some fortifications, so before World War II, the armies of many countries used to call it anti-tank artillery. Did you ship it back? ”

"Not yet."

Their company had just strengthened a battle defense gun yesterday, but unfortunately in the morning a Japanese shell hit its position, not only was the cannon damaged, but also half of the artillery brothers were killed. The anti-aircraft gun was towed to the rear for repairs, and it has not been brought back yet.

"Quick, you guys bring all the grenades and tie them around my waist!"

"Deputy squad leader!"

"Don't chirp crookedly, if you are still alive when you beat away the Japanese devils in the future, put incense on Lao Tzu and tell me!"

The Japanese tanks had already advanced the infantry, and the tall deputy squad leader removed his leggings, tied all the grenades gathered by several soldiers on the side to his waist, and patted his brother's shoulder, "Big brother go first!" (This tall deputy squad leader is a real person, but unfortunately we still don't know his name.) ）

He climbed out of the trench, over the barbed wire, and rolled over the leading tanks that approached the Japanese. The Japanese tanks did not notice anyone approaching them, and the Type 89 medium tank was busy firing heavily at the Chinese positions in front.

With a loud bang, the leading tank of the Japanese army collapsed to the side in the smoke of the fire.

The destruction of the vanguard tanks did not destroy the momentum of the Japanese attack, but made them arouse the bestiality in their blood, and they rushed to the defensive positions of the Chinese army with a frenzied shout. The battle between the two sides entered a white-hot stage, bullets flew everywhere, and no one thought about their own safety.

There were a few more fighters strapping grenades on their bodies on the position, and the roar of aircraft engines could be heard in the air.

The attacking Japanese army was even more vigorous, because only the "air force of the Great Japanese Empire" would come to the aid at this time - the middle and lower rank officers and soldiers of the Japanese army had no idea that their air force was almost all reimbursed.

"Brethren! It's our plane! ”

The *** soldiers in the trenches saw the two planes that swooped down from the sky with a striking "blue sky and white sun" marking.

When the two I-16s arrived over Tsinghua University, they had reduced their flight altitude to 500 meters, and through the front windshield of the cockpit, Prokofiev saw that there was a fierce exchange of work in the open space in front of him, and the Japanese army was launching a group charge with more than 1,000 people.

"Savakov, the Japanese are wearing yellow clothes, that is, the attacking side, follow me, the two bombs are dropped separately, and they are on target! Drop the bomb and then strafe! ”

"Understood!"

As soon as Prokofiev pressed the nose of the plane, he rushed over at the Japanese troops on the ground.

At an altitude of 150 meters, Prokofiev pressed the bomb button of the solidified ******, felt that the plane was light, pulled the lever up slightly, pressed the machine gun launch button, and two ПВ-1 machine guns shot bullets at the Japanese troops on the ground like a waterfall.

Soldiers on both sides on the ground saw two shiny silver objects fall from the two planes, and the very few people in the Chinese army who had seen aerial bombs were wondering: What is this? Because the bombs in general are black, even the bombs dropped by the planes of the Japanese devils are also black.

Color is not everything, and there is a scene that the soldiers on both sides will never forget: the silver thing exploded violently the moment it hit the ground, but the sound was not very loud, and a large fire was generated along the direction of the bomb, a long one, and countless flames splashed on both sides (solidification****** after being dropped, it was generally a large fire, not a mass, which was caused by its semi-napalm characteristics. ）。

The Japanese soldiers at the place where the solidified ****** hit were instantly engulfed in flames, and the Japanese soldiers who were splashed by the flames nearby rolled on the ground screaming and trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies. In the summer, the Japanese soldiers wore only single uniforms, and the napalm burned through the coat the moment it was stained with the human body, and the severe pain made the Japanese soldiers scream and roll on the ground like crazy. Unfortunately, the earth on the ground did not extinguish the flames, but instead covered them with fire - this is the characteristic of solidified ******! The Japanese soldiers on the side, who were not splashed by napalm, wanted to go to help, but they could only "provoke the fire" and join the screaming crowd.

Due to the dense formation of the Japanese army's attack, the two solidified ****** made more than 100 Japanese soldiers run to see Aunt Amaterasu in an instant, and what made the Japanese panic even more was that some "fire men" screamed and rushed out of the range of flames, and finally screamed and threw themselves to the ground, and the people they touched were either killed or injured. Two solidified ****** at least reimbursed an entire squadron of the Japanese army!

When the Chinese soldiers here saw the tragic situation of the Japanese army, they were even more high-spirited, and they fired more fiercely at the Japanese army, and most of the fighting spirit of the Japanese army was destroyed by these two incendiary bombs.

Under Prokofiev's fire, the Japanese soldiers fell as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. Turning the nose of the plane, rising to an altitude of 300 meters, two anti-personnel shells on the wing were dropped again. This time Prokofiev was heading at several Japanese tanks in front, firing a four-barreled salvo, and the Type 89 tank hit by a 20 mm armor-piercing incendiary shell immediately emitted smoke, and its thin armor could even be pierced by a machine gun from the side, not to mention a 20 mm shell.

Although the 30-kilogram anti-personnel bomb was not very powerful, a large number of sharp fragments produced after the explosion still killed and injured a large number of Japanese soldiers, especially the heart-rending screams of the Japanese soldiers who were hit by the fragments but could not die for a while, which strongly stimulated the nerves of the Japanese army! They had no anti-aircraft firepower, so they could only let two planes wreak havoc in the air, and the opposing positions continued to fire a dense number of bullets, and the fighting spirit of the Japanese troops was rapidly crumbling.

Prokofiev and Savakov were brave and brave, and they took turns to strafe several times, and the dense machine gun bullets and artillery shell fragments hit the Japanese soldiers crying wolf - Lin Jun reminded them that they didn't need to save ammunition, and they would come back after the battle!

Today's air supremacy in the Songhu battlefield is on their side, and they don't have to worry about the Japanese fighters at all. If the remaining fighters of the Japanese army dare to attack them, as long as they return at high speed, the Japanese planes will not be able to catch up anyway, and if they dare to chase them all the way, the fighters who stayed at the airport will not be vegetarians, not to mention the dozens of fighters that are carrying out escort missions in the airspace over the Songhu area, as long as the radio calls, the support will arrive immediately.

The two planes engaged in two round-and-forth strafing fires before breaking away from the attack, and by this time the Japanese had begun to retreat, except that the six tanks that had cooperated with the infantry were all in front of the Chinese position.

"Savakov, rise to 800 meters and reconnoiter the deployment of the Japanese army." Prokofiev did not just fight and leave, he also had to find out the deployment of the Japanese troops in this area, although the ammunition was exhausted, he was bullying the Japanese ground forces did not have enough effective anti-aircraft firepower, as long as they reached an altitude of 800 meters, their small number of heavy machine guns temporarily equipped with anti-aircraft gun mounts could only stare at themselves.

"Captain, there is a Japanese assembly area at 2 o'clock."

Now the two I-16s are already temporary positions for the Japanese army, and a few kilometers ahead of them are their material assembly sites, and there are many vehicles unloading.

"**, dare to put the freight yard so high!"

"Savakov, return!"

Prokofiev climbed to an altitude of 4,000 meters before leveling it out, and informed the follow-up planes of the position of the Japanese troops in the direction of Jiangwan and the location of the material assembly area by radio -- every hour and a half, two I-16s would take off from the Daxiao Plant, and now the two I-16s that took off in the second batch were on their way to Shanghai.

At noon, Lin Jun watched two more Yi 16s fly to the east, which was already the third batch of planes he sent today to carry out close support. The three bomber formations that flew out in the morning to carry out bombing missions have all returned safely, and according to the report, the results of the battle have been huge.

The plane that bombed Wusongkou not only sank a Japanese heavy cruiser, but also gave two Japanese transport ships to the dragon lord to make toys, but the dragon lord may not like these few rags, especially one of the transport ships, which is simply a few pieces of scrap iron -- when the 500-kilogram bomb dropped by the No. 7 bomber of the Poleunin squadron hit this cargo ship, it exploded earth-shatteringly, and the air wave produced by the explosion could be felt even by the people in the bomber flying at an altitude of 1,500 meters. Because they hit an arms ship. The transport ship was no longer worth wasting ammunition, and as a result, planes 8 and 9 dropped bombs on the temporary pier on the shore, where people were flipped on their backs.

According to the report of Poliunin, Lin Jun felt that the sunken heavy patrol might be the "Aoba", because according to the description, the heavy cruisers of the three twin turrets were either "Aoba" class or "Furutaka" class, and the other Japanese heavy cruisers that met the characteristics should no longer be here at this time, either major modifications or deployed in mainland Japan.

"Yankee, you still have to thank Lao Tzu!" Lin Jun thought as soon as he learned of the sinking of this Japanese heavy cruiser (the nickname of "Aoba" and "Wolf of Solomon" came from the contest with the American heavy cruiser: on the night of August 8, 1942, the "Aoba" and other five heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and one destroyer formed a Japanese ship formation, and sank four American heavy cruisers, heavily damaged one American heavy cruiser and one destroyer, and lightly damaged two American destroyers at the anchorage of Savo Island in the Solomon Islands in a night attack. ）。

The No. 2 Squadron that bombed the Japanese airfield not only blew up the Japanese airfield facilities, but also shot down four Japanese fighters that were taking off in an emergency by escorting the eight Yi-16s, while the other Japanese fighters damaged in yesterday's air battle were blown up into a pile of burning garbage along with those airfield facilities.

The planes of the 3rd Squadron and the 4th Squadron blew up the Japanese army's material distribution center along the Yangtze River and caught fire everywhere, and what made Lin Jun most happy was that according to the pilot's report, the materials on one of the material distribution yards should have been oil, but they were all ignited by aerial bombs, and the smoke could be seen dozens of kilometers away! Oil has always been one of the most valuable supplies for the Japanese army - Lao Tzu fried your oil warehouse, see how you jump! Even if it is transported from the Japanese mainland, it will take some time, and the Japanese army will be short of fuel and ammunition for at least a week: the sunken munitions ship has at least two or three thousand tons of munitions and ammunition.
