Chapter 154: The Final Battle (3)
There was a parachute that fell from the sky, and the wooden box was suddenly shattered, and some rice dough fell out of it.
When these Japanese officers and soldiers saw that it was rice, they had not eaten for many days, and they suddenly aroused their greed for food. One by one, the guns were dropped, and dozens of people gathered around a wooden box, grabbing a handful of rice in one hand and stuffing a large handful into their mouths, making their faces full of rice particles.
Some choked, stuck out their tongues, stared at their eyes, hugged their necks, and stuffed rice into their mouths without a hint. Some of them had their stomachs bulging after eating, and they were afraid that they would not have anything to eat, so they took the opportunity to stuff the pockets on their military uniforms to the brim.
At this time, they no longer have hunger and food and clothing, but instinctively stuff rice into their mouths and fill their bodies.
There was a soldier who broke his thin intestines and did not starve to death, and now he broke his intestines and died......
Bullets were also dropped. Some of the soldiers had eaten enough, picked up the bullets in the boxes, loaded them, and then opened fire. After a while, the machine guns of the Zhongshi Wing also rang out, the heavy machine guns also rang out, and even the grenadiers rang out the sound of grenade discharges that had not been seen for many days.
I can't help but admit that the Japanese troops still have a relatively high fighting quality, and once they have food and ammunition, it will be a bit difficult to deal with.
With the support of army aviation, the Zhongshi Wing barely held its position, while the Chinese army also suffered heavy casualties due to Japanese air raids and had to stop the attack.
Captain Nakashi brought Junrokuro Matsuura a lunch box of rice and a small canned caviar. Junrokuro Matsuura's eyes turned green all of a sudden, and he ate it in large bites, and in the blink of an eye, he finished eating, and he asked, "Captain Nakashi, do you still have rice and canned food?" ”
The captain of the Zhongshi Wing said: "Your Excellency, Honorable Commander, you have already eaten a lot, and you can't eat any more?" ”
"Why?" Junrokuro Matsuura was very dissatisfied, meaning, why don't you let me eat enough.
The captain explained: "I've been hungry for a long time, and I can't eat too much. A few soldiers had already died. ”
"Oh-" I see. Junrokuro Matsuura looked at the empty lunch boxes and canned food boxes and asked, "What did I eat just now?" ”
The captain replied, "Your Excellency, you were eating airdropped Japanese rice and caviar just now. ”
"Oh-" Junrokuro Matsuura recalled the taste of the meal he had just eaten, "I didn't feel it at all." ”
If the 106th Division is annihilated in its entirety, this will not only be a heavy blow to the entire Japanese army in Central China, and the dream of occupying China will never be mentioned again, but it will also be a heavy blow to him, the commander of the 11th Army Corps, who has just been promoted.
Okamura Ninji once again ordered the 27th Division and the 101st Division to pull out the 106th Division at Wanjialing at any cost.
Under the repeated urging of Okamura Ninji, the 27th Division and the 101st Division were really crazy. On the Dexing Line, Passpass Street was captured by the 101st Division on the morning of October 10, 1938, and on Wuyong Road, the 27th Division had broken through our Yangjiashan position and constantly posed a threat to us.
The enemy forces of these two divisions have pressed violently against the Chinese troops in our Wanjialing area.
And our Chinese army, after half a month of hard fighting, suffered a great loss in strength, and really could not send troops to stop the enemy's attack. On the 16th, the first part of the enemy's reinforcements on the left flank had rushed to Ganmu Pass, and our 6th and 60th divisions retreated, and the situation began to be chaotic.
At this time, Xue Yue believed that the task of mainly annihilating the 106th Division had been completed. The 4th and 66th armies had entered a new position, and the front line urgently needed to be adjusted, so they ordered the main force to be transferred to the line of Yongfengqiao, Minshan, Guobeishan, Guoyuanshan, Wangjiashan, and Zhelin. The final encirclement and annihilation of the remnants of the 106th Division was actually abandoned.
On October 17, 1938, our army began to retreat, and the remnants of the enemy's 106th Division made contact with the Suzuki detachment, and the Battle of Wanjialing ended. At the end of October, the Wuhan government decided to abandon Wuhan and implement a general retreat, and thus the Battle of Wuhan was over.
Now that the Battle of Wuhan has ended, the mission of our Southern Expeditionary Army has also been completed. Xue Yue, Wang Yaowu, and Zhang Lingfu all had to invite some people from the Southern Expeditionary Army, especially Han Xing and the Air Force of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
After Han Xing discussed with Zhang Weihan, it was better to return to Liaocheng as much as possible. These 5,000 people of the Southern Expeditionary Army stay here, once Liaocheng changes, how to get it. There is also the air force formation of the Southern Expeditionary Army is here for a long time, Chiang Kai-shek, Xue Yue, these high-ranking bureaucrats are all watching with their eyes, as soon as they want to forcibly detain them, steal them as they already have, how to explain to Commander Sun.
The golden nest and silver nest are not as good as the old nest at home.
So the Southern Expeditionary Army Headquarters gave an order and quickly returned to the Liaocheng base.
The Southern Expeditionary Army assembled at Nanchang Airport, transported by Xu Da's Yun-8 transport plane, protected by J-20 fighters, and transported the officers and men of the Southern Expeditionary Army back to Liaocheng one by one.
How can there be an airport in Liaocheng?
This is the Jinan airfield is facing strong pressure from the Japanese attack, so Fan Zhuxian of Liaocheng mobilized all the soldiers and civilians of Liaocheng and quickly built an improvised military airfield in recent months.
When the tall Yun-8-transport plane roared and slowly flew towards the Liaocheng airstrip, Han Xing's heart really rose to his throat. He shouted, "All attention, bend your knees, hold your head, the plane is about to land." ”
Most of the officers and men on the No. 1 Y-8 transport plane, following Han Xing's orders, all bent over and held their heads, preparing for the worst.
Several soldiers of Zhang Xiaosan's guard company were clustered around Han Xing and Zhang Weihan, they just wanted to protect the safety of Han Xing and Zhang Weihan in the form of a meat egg.
Han Xing tried his best to pull the arms of these people, but they were still surrounding Han Xing, so anxious that Han Xing shouted: "What are you going to do, I want to observe the runway, please don't interfere with my work!" ”
However, Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong still tightly surrounded Han Xing's side, protecting him to the death, still afraid that something would happen to him.
Han Xing had no choice but to observe the situation outside the plane through the window of the transport plane through the cracks of their people.
From the perspective of an engineer, Han Xing considered and examined these questions: whether the runway of the airfield could withstand the impact of several hundred tons of transport planes, and if the wheels of the plane were stuck in the earth, the plane would be completely destroyed, breaking the landing gear, or spilling oil, catching fire, exploding, or directly crashing into pieces.
After a few bumps, the complex multi-wheel structure, using multiple tires, finally landed and coasted while reducing the impact force borne by a single tire.
But the planes are still jolting, and this airport is really much worse than Jinan Airport and Nanchang Airport.
The biggest difference between military aircraft and civilian aircraft is the difference in tires. When an aircraft takes off and lands, the tires and landing gear are directly subjected to impact. To this end, military transport aircraft generally use a complex multi-wheel structure and use multiple tires to reduce the impact force borne by a single tire and avoid punctures. For the sake of comfort and economy, civil aircraft generally only use single or double wheels.
Han Xing knew that although it was a military aircraft with a multi-wheel structure, it could not land on ordinary land, but took off and landed on a field airfield without a cement runway. Field airports also have requirements for runway strength, and it is not possible to use a field airport by leveling a piece of farmland. It should also be flattened with a roller and reinforced with special materials to ensure its basic strength.
Another problem is that military transport aircraft use an upper monoplane mechanism, and the engine is high above the ground, which is not easy to enter the soil. The passenger aircraft uses a medium wing structure, which is close to the ground and easy to maintain, but the environmental adaptability is weak.
Therefore, the military transport aircraft was designed with the use environment in mind, and the engine was specially equipped with a filter screen and a dust cover.
The plane finally stayed after some turbulence, and Han Xing's heart was relieved.
Han Xing got off the plane and lay on the ground to take a closer look at what kind of material the runway was made of without cement.
Looking at the airport runway of Bai Huhu, Han Xing understood in his heart that this is also the Sanhe soil material commonly used in northwest Lu. Some fortress-like stockades often use this material.
The so-called triple soil is made of quicklime powder, clay and sand as raw materials, and is mixed with water in the ratio of 1:2:3 according to the volume ratio, which is mainly used for the foundation of the building, the pavement or the cushion of the ground. If it is treated, this pavement is not much worse than the cement pavement.
Luxi has a part of clay soil, so there is no shortage of clay, and there is also sand, because there is a lot of sandy land, and what is lacking is lime. Fortunately, it is not far from Changqing County, which has a large amount of limestone, and of course also produces lime. It seems that Fan Zhuxing has made great efforts to transport a large amount of lime materials from Changqing.
The roadbed of Sanhetu, together with the drainage ditch next to the runway, creates a simple airstrip.
Closely, I saw several rollers parked next to the runway, and in the distance, I saw Fan Zhuxian leading almost the whole city to greet them, and the one running at the front was Chen Ping, the director of the Industrial Bureau.
Han Xing's heart rose a little emotionally, there is a way to win the newlywed after a long absence, the relationship between himself and Chen Ping, what is going on? The husband and wife of the later generations cannot recognize each other in this life, which is really a ridiculous thing. Three or four months have passed, and in the days of blood and fire on the front line, it is impossible to take into account the relationship between children and daughters, but now, there are some things that are inexplicable, and it is still impossible to take care of children's feelings.
When is such a day a head!
Chen Ping's legs were fast, and she soon arrived in front of Han Xing, she held Han Xing's hand tightly and said, "The Southern Expeditionary Army has worked hard and made great achievements, it is really hard for you, especially Director Han." ”
Han Xing smiled, pointed to the roller next to the runway and asked, "This is your masterpiece, right?" ”
The large chassis of the Jiefang brand car, coupled with a large gearbox, is installed in front of a large shelf, and the large shelf is rolled into a large cylinder with steel plates, and the large cylinder is loaded with iron weights, and the roller is designed and manufactured.
