Tong County is located in the east of Beiping City, is located in the northernmost part of the world-famous Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, is the "dragon head" of the Grand Canal, the county is only 20 kilometers away from Beiping, known as the capital of Jingdong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the prosperous military appearance of the An Jiajun shocked Xiaoxiao, gave great psychological comfort to all walks of life in Pingjin, and stabilized the morale of the army and the people, the people in Tongxian County did not have such a feeling -- all day long, they saw Japanese planes flying around in the sky, dropping a few bombs from time to time, vaguely hearing the roar of cannons in their ears, sporadic gunfire from time to time, and in addition the wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs wrapped in thick gauze and crutches could be seen everywhere on the streets, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of blood. Many of the people who have lived here for generations can finally not bear the huge psychological pressure, and they have called for friends and families to flee south, and a huge town has become lifeless in a few days, and all the soldiers who have come in and out of the city and outside the city have become soldiers, and Tongxian, which was originally prosperous and wealthy in industry and commerce, has become a veritable military camp.

In half a day, the 44th and 39th Divisions rushed from Beiping to Bali Bridge in the west of Tongxian County, and along the way they saw the panicked flow of fleeing people, the hungry and screaming babies in the arms of their ragged mothers, and the skinny old men and children who had fallen to death on the side of the road.

Although the 44th and 39th Divisions were still nowhere to be found, the reconnaissance cavalry had already continuously reported the latest positions of the two divisions to the Tongxian headquarters. At this moment, at the city gate in the west of the county seat, Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, who had retreated from Xifengkou, Yu Xuezhong, the commander of the 51st Army, who rushed to the aid from Beiping, and Wang Yizhe, the commander of the 67th Army, who had driven from the Luandong area, had already led the generals and colonies of various armies to meet them.

In fact, the current Tongxian County is not a battlefield, and the real place of battle is on the front line of Fengrun and Jixian County, which is more than 100 kilometers east of the county seat. Now that the strength of the three armies is gathered on the first line of defense, it is not inferior to the number of Japanese troops, so it should be no problem. But in the face of the Japanese army's superior aircraft and artillery, as well as invulnerable tanks, no one has a bottom in their hearts, so when they saw the arrival of strong reinforcements, everyone felt that they had something to rely on.

Finally, the sky was dusty in the distance, followed by the roar of a motor. What they saw through the telescopes did not disappoint the three generals who took the initiative to greet them, not to mention the majestic and high-spirited momentum of the officers and men, just looking at the mechanized equipment that stretched for several miles, and it was said that there were also sharp weapons specially designed to deal with planes and tanks, which was enough to reassure everyone.

Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian rode in the same jeep and drove at the front of the team.

"Tiger head, tell me about Han Yu in the art troupe, is it the boss's confidante?" Xia Jian's face was ambiguous.

"Are you talking about the haughty ice and snow beauty who ignores me coldly?" Gu Changfeng touched his chin and thought thoughtfully: "I look a little like it, every time we talk about the boss these days, she becomes very sensitive, and she always comes to us, but at other times she is so cold and unkind, it seems that there is a problem!" ”

Xia Jian's eyebrows danced: "You don't know how many people support that girl in southern Sichuan, and many people in our army are also her suitors." You know Wang Geng, right? is the chief of education of our Xufu Non-commissioned Officer School, the former husband of the courtesan Lu Xiaoman, the dignified major general of the army, seems to be interested in her, and has sent her flowers many times, but I didn't expect to hit a wall. ”

Gu Changfeng gave him a blank look: "When, do you still care about this?" Let him deal with the boss's affairs by himself, let's think more about how to fight a good battle next! The last time I went out to fight nine deaths, Lao Tzu was ready to go to see King Yama, who knew that he was rescued by the brothers of the flying brigade. This time, our brothers got together, just to settle old scores for the little devils......"

Xia Jian nodded: "I heard about this, the fight was very bad, but fortunately, the main backbone is fine, the Japanese casualties are far greater than ours, and it is worth it!" Now the Japanese army is rushing into the pass, but it has given us a good opportunity to close the door and fight the dogs, we can't miss it! ”

Gu Changfeng was a little worried: "Although each of our divisions is equipped with an air defense battalion, the enemy's fighters are flexible and mobile. Now that the Bohai Sea has long been thawed, the enemy's fighters can take off from aircraft carriers to carry out long-range bombing, and we have no air superiority, and this battle is still a little difficult to fight. ”

Xia Jian frowned slightly: "It stands to reason that a batch of fighters ordered from the United States should have arrived, I have heard the boss mention it a long time ago, who thinks that there is still no news after so long, and I don't know how to do it...... Although the number of our fighters is far less than that of the Japanese army, it is still useful at a critical moment, and I will call again to ask. ”

During the conversation between the two, the county seat of Tongxian County had already appeared in front of him, and when Gu Changfeng saw Song Zheyuan, Yu Xuezhong, Wang Yizhe and others standing at the city gate to greet them, he was surprised and hurriedly greeted "stop", pulled Xia Jian out of the carriage, and greeted Song Zheyuan and others who came forward:

"Brother Mingxuan, Brother Xiaohou, Brother Dingfang, I actually bothered you to greet you in person, I don't dare to be ashamed!"

Although Wang Yizhe lost Gubeikou, and the An Jiajun had great opinions about it, Gu Changfeng had received Wang Yizhe's help when he retreated to the pass, so there was some friendship between the two, so Gu Changfeng greeted him cordially and naturally, without the slightest mustard.

Song Zheyuan held Gu Changfeng's hand tightly: "I have long been looking forward to the day when I can join hands with General Hutou to resist Japan, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, with the help of the An Jiajun, the next battle will be much easier." ”

Yu Xuezhong looked at Xia Jian curiously: "This is General Xia, right?" I've admired the daimyo for a long time, and now I'm seeing it for the first time, and I'm glad to be, I'm glad to be! ”

Xia Jian grinned, stood up and gave a military salute to the three of them, and then said: "I am Xia Jian, my little follower of Commander An, I will fight wherever the commander asks me to fight." No, now that I'm here, I'm going to partner with everyone to fight the Japanese devils in the future, so I have to ask you to take care of it. ”

Wang Yizhe stepped forward and sighed: "I have heard for a long time that General Xia is loyal and bold, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name......

Xia Jian just wanted to be modest, but who knew that the terrible air defense sirens sounded in the distance.

Just when Song Zheyuan and the others and the generals under their command were looking around to find the source of the sound, Gu Changfeng looked solemn and said loudly:

"There is a dense group of planes flying towards us, don't panic, it is estimated that there are still seventy or eighty kilometers away, we can evacuate calmly!"

Xia Jian nodded and patiently explained: "It's the sound of our air defense siren vehicle, don't worry, the news will definitely not go wrong." ”

Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian saluted the three of them again, turned around and left, and each evacuated the troops and arranged the air defense positions.

Twenty minutes later, a Japanese fighter plane flew over Tongxian County, still looking for bombing targets everywhere, a string of flames appeared on the ground, the two fighters suddenly disintegrated in the air, in the huge explosion wave, burst out a series of dazzling sparks, and then the wreckage flew sideways, hitting a fighter plane that followed it, and quickly planted it on the ground, after the earth-shattering explosion, a black mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the sound was extremely terrifying.

The rest of the Japanese planes, seeing that the situation was not good, scattered in all directions, looking for ground air defense positions everywhere.

Just as the Japanese planes were circling, another dense rain of bullets struck, and one plane could not dodge being shot on the right flank, let out a terrible scream, and crashed into the dense forest on the north bank of the Tonghui River. Two parachutes fluttered in the air, and although the pilots and their assistants were spared, they were too far from the front line to become prisoners after landing.

At this time, the Japanese aircraft group had already locked on the position of the ground air defense position -- a small forest on the south bank of the Tonghui River, and judging by the density of artillery bombardment, there were not too many antiaircraft guns. So the roaring dense warplanes circled in the air, scattered in all directions, and then rushed to the target area from all sides like fishermen casting nets.

At this moment, another burst of intensive artillery bombardment came, and the first three fighters that rushed into the dense forest from the east were the first to be shot, one exploded in the air, and the other two were heavily damaged, and a long thick smoke came out of their buttocks, rushing straight to the surface of the Tonghui River below, falling into the water one after another, stirring up a column of water that soared into the sky.

Originally, the two air defense battalions were optimized and reorganized, and three air defense positions were formed in a triangle. At this time, another anti-aircraft fire point, which had been withheld before, also fired at the same time, but the efficiency was much worse, and the two Japanese planes that were hit by the bullet were slightly damaged. However, apparently the Japanese pilots had been frightened by the anti-aircraft fire on the ground, and hurriedly pulled up the fighters, circled in the air, and then turned around and flew towards the place from which they came; the five or six fighters that followed closely behind and the four or five planes in the east stopped fighting anymore, hurriedly raised their altitude, flew to the sky over the county seat of Tongxian and dropped a few bombs, and then returned home.

In a short period of time, there were three dense anti-aircraft artillery positions, and I don't know how many similar ambushes there are in the squadron, and the rest of the planes panicked, they continued to climb in height, and threw bombs around the place where they kept spewing flames, and they fled in a hurry, regardless of the effect.

Song Zheyuan, who was hiding in the air raid shelter, looked at each other and could hardly believe his eyes -- in the past two days, Japanese fighters have come to Tongxian County to show off their might, but they have never seen such a dense group of planes. After a rough calculation just now, the Japanese army probably dispatched 35 fighters from four bomber squadrons, and originally thought that it would bring huge casualties to the newly arrived 44th and 39th Divisions, but I did not expect it to be so anticlimactic.

Wang Yizhe and Yu Xuezhong are both old men of the Northeast Army, and since they retreated to Guannai, they have endured endless reconnaissance and bombing by the fighters of the Japanese Army from the Northeast Army.

Song Zheyuan said with emotion: "An Jiajun is indeed well-trained!" I don't know how they did it, the Japanese fighters found it in advance without approaching, and then calmly arranged the air defense position, and cast the bait just to wait for the other side to take the bait. In this air-ground offensive and defensive battle, it turned out that it was the flexible and changeable aircraft that suffered a loss. ”

Yu Xuezhong echoed again and again, and then shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that our Northeast Army is sitting on empty water, and we don't have the money to buy such new weapons, if we also equip him with three or five anti-aircraft artillery regiments, the Japanese devil's plane will not dare to be so rampant." In the final analysis, I still didn't cherish it at the beginning, and I lost the jars and jars too unjustly......"

Wang Yizhe smiled bitterly, raised the telescope in his hand again, and looked at the soldiers of the Anjia Army who suddenly got up from under the hill, next to the small tree, in the ditch, and under the city wall, and suddenly had a certain fear and timidity towards An Yi, who single-handedly created this army in the Baoding camp.

At this time, An Yi didn't know that the air defense force had made another great achievement, and he was worried about a telegram, his face full of bitterness and loneliness.
