Chapter 829: The Witness of Ice and Fire XIX
readx;
The Japanese planes in Sankong Bu suddenly panicked. The bulky bomber www.biquge.info the Pen Fun Pavilion forgot to throw a strong blow and flew southeast, and the Japanese fighters who were on the duty of escort quickly divided into several formations. Four fighters fled southeast around the disorganized bombers, while the rest of the fighters fled in groups of threes and twos. Quickly adjusted his attitude, flew due north and northeast, and rushed head-on to the Chinese fighter plane that suddenly appeared and was less than 10 kilometers away. A fierce air battle in which more than 50 abandoned planes suddenly began in the airspace of Kuancheng north of the towering Great Wall.
The sound of the air was incessant, roaring like thunder, and the sound of dense large-caliber machine gun fire was incessant, and the first shot of the fighters of the two sides stirred up the smoke and surging in the sky, and the two sides of the air enemy and us were entangled together today, which was dazzling, and in the blink of an eye, the two Japanese planes exploded in the air, and the fire that illuminated the sky was still spreading. The aftermath of the earth-shattering explosion is still there. The three Japanese planes dragged their long tail flames down and crashed into the ground, and landed in the north of Tianjing Mountain, three kilometers to the northeast, and the pillars of fire soared into the sky in the sound of explosions that shook the sky and shook the earth.

** One fighter plane rolled down in flames, and two fighter planes with destroyed tails were crooked. Wobbling down. Soon three parachutes were thrown. Slowly falling towards the position of the independent division, the fighters who lost control let out a sharp wail and landed almost at the same time. The explosion exploded on the hill between the position of the independent division and the rear command post, shaking the blood and ears of the tens of millions of soldiers who looked up in terror on the position, and the flames and mud and rocks in the sky were aroused. Amazingly obscuring hundreds of meters of the sky.
More than a dozen silver fighters flew from west to east, broke through the fog formed by the smoke of gunpowder, and continued to chase eastward, leaving behind no nostalgia for this red-lit aerial battlefield except for the screaming sound of tearing through the air.
On the high ground on the east side of the command post. Hu Jialin pointed to the fleet of our army, which was no longer visible in the east, and shouted loudly to Zhang Zuoxiang and Wan Fulin beside him:
。 Seniors, the work of the air defense brigade in the southwest is done, and the two air interception squadrons are estimated to have won a big victory! The fighter planes that flew over us just now and did not stop were specially waiting for the Japanese planes to chase after the rout and beat the water dogs, if they hadn't killed the dozen or so Japanese fighters that flew to the southwest first. They won't be pursuing it eastward now."
"Well played! I really didn't expect that air combat could be the same as ground combat, using tactics such as luring the enemy, ambushing, joint attack, pursuit, etc., and it was not hairy, Brother Hu, who commanded this air battle? ”
Wan Fulin asked loudly, Zhang Zuoxiang still stared blankly at the fiercely fighting sky in the north, and didn't seem to hear the conversation between Hu Jialin and Wan Fulin.
"It's a long story, wait until you're done and tell your seniors slowly!" Hu Jialin's eyes were still humble at the roaring sky of the fighter plane.
Another violent explosion came. A disintegrated Japanese plane in the air was torn apart in the flash of fire, and the surrounding four Japanese planes hurriedly changed direction, roared and raised their attitudes, and rushed to the sky, but the clumsy handling and slow flight of the old fighters were clear at a glance, and the six ** silver fighters bit closely behind them, and fired frequently, and the two Japanese fighters were violently trembling by the dense rain of bullets before they could pull up or change their routes, and their wings were broken. Tumbling and falling like a bird that has been shot, it fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, and there was another earth-shattering explosion and a burst of fire, Hu Jialin, who saw the heights, was excited, and the thousands of brothers who had returned to their souls on the battlefield were fascinated.
At this moment, for the first time, all the soldiers felt their strength, felt the surging pride in their hearts, and the cheers rang out one after another, and after a while, they became louder and louder, and finally evolved into a majestic sound like a mountain and a sea. The soldiers' hearts fluctuated. It is natural to rejoice when an enemy plane is shot down. When your own fighter plane is shot down or damaged. and a heart-wrenching exclamation.
Wu Liheng, the tiger general on the battlefield, had moist eyes. His hands were covered with sweat, and he had forgotten to tell his brothers to do their best to rescue and capture the pilots on both sides who had parachuted. Standing on the battlefield like a stone pillar, looking up at the smoky sky, unable to speak for a long time.
Suddenly, Wu Liheng felt his arm keep shaking. Looking down, it turned out to be the captain of the special brigade, Ling Widow, who was calling loudly, Wu Liheng hurriedly leaned over his ears, and after hearing it, he turned around suddenly, took the telescope that Ling Widow was obsessed with and looked north, and soon the three Japanese officers who were now standing on the stone hill were also the same as all the brothers around him. stared blankly at the sky.
Wu Liheng stuffed the telescope into Ling Han's hand and roared loudly: "Agreed!" Kill the crumbs in the north, especially the Humpty Dumpty Adjutant in the middle. I'm watching here, and I'll give you credit when it's done."
"Yes!"
The distance of more than three kilometers was quickly shortened at the feet of the special soldiers, and in less than 10 minutes, the two groups of snipers had already moved more than 400 meters southwest of the Japanese officers.
The fierce battle in the sky also came to an end, and in just half an hour, eleven Japanese planes were shot down. Twenty-four Japanese planes were damaged, and the remaining 17 fighters fled in disarray, and the huge gap and heavy losses made the officers of the Sanji Army standing on the stone hill beat their hearts and lungs and wailed.
Such a failure really made the Japanese army, which had always been high and complacent, unprepared. This unexpected blow was enough to hurt their self-esteem, and it was understandable to make such a heart-wrenching move.
However, what made them even more sad was still behind, after the two gunshots, the head of the short Shao Zuo, who was so sad that he was squatting on the stone hill and had just straightened his waist, was in a blood mist, and the other lieutenant on the left was planted headlong on the stone hill, and the lieutenant on the right screamed in fright. But the screaming stopped abruptly only halfway, and a special bullet shattered half of his face. By the time the Japanese soldiers shouted and set up their machine guns to look for the enemy, the two groups of excellent snipers had already retreated behind the mountain more than 500 meters away, and gathered along the rugged valley full of mud and snow to return to their positions.
In the trenches on the edge of the front-line command post. Ye Qing and several female reporters were pale, staring at the blazing battlefield, their legs stepping on the bullet box were still unable to suppress their trembling, and it was difficult to maintain their value and calm. The photographic acupuncture that they hold in the middle of the abandonment faithfully records all this of the birth of the eyes.
In the command post, Zhang Zuoxiang, who had just put down the binoculars and put it back in the marching kettle, had fully recovered, and his eyes were shining. Obviously, this battle touched him a lot.
Wan Fulin's face was still flushed, and his demeanor was at a loss. The excitement is overwhelming.
By this time, the whole front had calmed down. The soldiers again rushed to repair the fortifications and lay the muddy trenches. The Japanese troops on the opposite side also lost the courage and strength to attack, and the two sides entered a state of confrontation.
Zhang Zuoxiang let out a long breath and looked at Hu Jialin with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, in a short period of time, little Japan will not want to break through this direction, there is no air-ground coordination, and the complex terrain of the mountains and ups and downs limits the use of the Japanese army's superior artillery fire, and the Japanese army has lost these two offensive magic weapons, and it is simply unable to compete with the more than 20,000 elites of the virtuous nephew."
"In addition to the use of the degree and impact of the sword, the Japanese cavalry unit is unlikely to launch a large-scale charge in such terrain, on the contrary, from today onwards, they will probably have to be on guard against our attack from the air at all times, no matter how fast the horse runs, there is no plane, let alone the infantry's fast concealment ability. Suffice it to say, unless the Japanese army more than doubles its forces. Otherwise, it will not be able to shake this line of defense of the virtuous nephew. ”
Hu Jialin modestly replied: "It is naturally not a problem in a short period of time, but after a long time, if the friendly troops do not make progress, the younger generation can still only passively defend, except for containing the main force of one or two brigades of the Japanese army and making every effort to respond to the friendly forces on the front line of Chengde, I am afraid it will be difficult to do anything else."
"In addition, the two divisions of our army won the victory with firepower and training, and the logistical pressure was very great, and once there was a problem with the 32-kilometer transportation line from the pass to Kuancheng, the more than 20,000 officers and men had no choice but to retreat. The seniors also saw that although the two wings of the Japanese army were defeated in today's battle and more than 3,400 enemies were annihilated and more than 3,000 were wounded, the three brigades of our independent division also paid the price of more than 4,500 casualties. Without air support, it will be difficult for us to defeat the well-trained and well-equipped Japanese troops in a confrontational battle, and even if we defeat one of them, we will pay a heavy price in casualties.
"The independent division and the 17th division are far from the station, and the use of a large number of new equipment and the requirements for new operations have limited the two divisions from replenishing troops on the spot, and now they are in the forward position of the entire defense line. Frequent fighting was inevitable, and casualties were one less. Therefore, every step is taken with care. Please understand these things. ”
Zhang Zuoxiang, who has become a refiner, can't hear the unfinished meaning of Hu Jialin's words? Nodding in agreement, he asked Gu Changfeng, who was still in the hinterland of the Japanese army: "Virtuous nephew, what is the news from General Hutou?" ”
Hu Jialin shook his head: "In order to make our department face the current enemy with all his energy, Commander An did not inform the divisions of the situation of Brother Gu's department. It is estimated that if they had not entered the area of Little Black Mountain at this time, it is very likely that the vast majority of the brothers would never have returned. "Speaking of which. His face was gloomy.
Zhang Zuoxiang thought that it was precisely because of Tang Yulin's incompetence that this scene appeared, and he couldn't help but sigh sadly, but Tang Yulin was the late Zhang Zuoshuang's sworn brother and friend of life and death, and Zhang Xueliang also had to respect his uncle, plus his heavy soldiers. I have no choice but to hope that after retreating to Chengde, I can wake up and fight. Otherwise, the face of the Northeast Army will be defeated by him.
Wan Fulin's face was not good-looking, and more than 30,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army of the Northeast Army retreated without a fight. As a result, Gu Changfeng, the elite division of the Anjia Army, lost his retreat and fell into a heavy siege, so that as a general of the Northeast Army, he had nothing to say. Wan Fulin smiled bitterly, comforted Hu Jialin softly, and once again said that he would do everything in his power to protect the logistics and transportation lines of Hu Jialin's department, and would definitely not let more than 20,000 soldiers have any worries.
After talking with each other, Hu Jialin, Yang Guan, Huang Yingwu and other generals bid farewell to Zhang Zuoxiang and Wan Fulin, who rushed to Xifengkou to inspect, and returned to the temporary headquarters in the north of the city where most of them were blown up by Japanese fighters.
There was no laughter in the Beiping Zhushan Command Headquarters, and in the minds of An Yi and the generals, the great victory of the two air brigades in shooting down 37 enemy planes and damaging 29 enemy planes was not worth mentioning at all compared to the safety of nearly 10,000 soldiers of Gu Changfeng's department.
Crisis is coming! Gu Changfeng personally led two regiments to run more than 40 kilometers The operation was exposed, and nearly 10,000 soldiers were in danger and were waiting to be saved!
Due to the critical situation, the front line did not specifically state the reasons for the failure of the operation in the emergency telegram, but only gave a short sentence: I rushed to expose the whereabouts of the main force at 6:15 a.m., and briefly engaged the enemy.
An Yi stood in front of the map for a long time, pondering for a long time, and guessing the course of the battle and possible crises in his mind over and over again according to the time when Gu Changfeng led the main force, the time when he encountered the enemy, and the direction of retreat.
Fortunately, at this time, the officers and soldiers of a main force regiment had safely escorted more than 500 wounded and more than 100 women and children who survived to the Xiaoshan area, and the big stone that pressed on the hearts of An Yi and the brothers was not so heavy, otherwise An Yi and the brothers around him would not know how to be anxious. ”
"Here!"
An Yi turned around abruptly and ordered solemnly: "Send a telegram to Gu Changfeng and instruct him to telegraph his location as soon as possible; At the same time, the aviation command was telegraphed. Q: When will they be ready to take to the skies again? A clear reply was required for both messages. And attach an expedited sign. ”
"Yes!"
