Chapter 207 Shanghai 4
"Keep up your efforts, hurry up!" A team of porters carried the rice balls in the load, and the meat foamed and pickled buns haunted the battlefield full of gunpowder. Leading the way are students from Fudan University.
The soldiers who were temporarily withdrawn from the front-line operations, or who were resting in the trenches, received food one after another, and those who were closer to the supply point could even drink a mouthful of hot soup. In the sick and wounded camp, supplies such as eggs, vegetables and fruits were almost piled up in the aisles. Although the citizens and students of Shanghai could not directly participate in the battlefield, they contributed their own strength to the war of resistance in this way, and the national grievances were accumulated for too long, and at this time they faced the invasion of the Japanese army again, and the 19th Route Army was able to resist and won the support of all the citizens and people.
On the 18th, the 24th Brigade of the Japanese Army attacked Wusong Town with the main force and smuggled across Jijia Bridge with a force. Detour to the back road of the Wusong defenders. The Special Marine Corps launched an attack on Jiangwan and Bazi Bridge. The Japanese forces were all repulsed by the defenders. The Liu Zhanxiong Brigade of the 60th Division secretly detoured from the direction of Jiangwan to the right flank of the Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps in Zhabei to launch a fierce attack, which plunged this part of the Japanese army into chaos. At this time, in the midst of fierce fighting, the number of wounded sent from the front line has surged, and you can judge how fierce the fighting on the front line is. Japanese planes continued to reinforce the Special Marine Corps in the skies, providing fire support to it, in a vain attempt to cover the breakthrough of this part of the Japanese army that was in an embarrassment.
At this time, almost the entire Shanghai session was paying close attention to this fierce and short war. Those who rushed to deliver food, the wounded. When the medical students saw the Japanese planes constantly appearing in the sky, their hearts even rose to their throats.
"Kill it. Strangled with the Japanese army! Liu Zhanxiong tore off his hat and fell to the ground. Ranting into the phone. Under the bombing of the Japanese army, this field phone dropped its chain from time to time, and it was really capable of killing a man several feet tall.
"Kill!" Taking advantage of the fact that a heavy machine gun of the Japanese Special Marine Corps was dumbfounded, a company of soldiers spread their feet and rushed into the Japanese formation. At this time, it can be said that the morale of the Republic of China army has been the highest since the Japanese army has provoked several times, and the Cantonese system, the central government, and the 15th Route Army that is about to go to the battlefield have gathered in Shanghai, and Yan Xishan and other powerful factions have also provided material support to the battlefield to a greater or lesser extent. It is also the first time that we have faced foreign enemies. The Republic of China is the most united. For such an enemy army with high morale and daring to fight and kill, the members of the Japanese Special Marine Corps will also be frightened. was already blinded by Liu Zhanxiong's brigade who came at night. At this time, under the continuous onslaught of Liu Zhanxiong's troops, the Japanese army, which was also thinking of a sneak attack, did not have much ammunition left, and many Japanese troops began to fall into panic.
Hum, several planes in the sky are getting closer.
Rumble! Nearly 10 bombs were scattered, and after a burst of sand and rocks on the ground, half of the attacking company was wiped out before it could reach the front of the Japanese formation.
"Bastard!" Liu Zhanxiong put down the telescope with a fist and smashed it on the sandbag in front of him, and his hand was pierced by the shrapnel on it, and he was bleeding unaware. Compared with this little injury, those hot-blooded men who were killed by the Japanese plane were the ones who really made Liu Zhanxiong hurt to the bone marrow.
Looking at the Japanese planes that were constantly raging in the distance, those Shanghai citizens who climbed high and looked into the distance all threw their wrists and sighed. In a very good situation, if these planes had not been relieved, the Japanese army that was blocked in Zhabei and beaten by the Republic of China army would probably not have escaped the end of annihilation. It's a pity that these soldiers are desperate enough, but what can the troops on the ground do with the planes in the sky? It's a pity that if this continues, this Japanese army, which should have been annihilated, may have to escape.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The ground staff are as busy as little ants. Help the pilot down from the plane to rest, bring food, hot water, etc.
Chen Honglu warmed his hands with a cup of hot water, and at this time, the person in charge of Suzhou Qianjin Airport had already stepped forward with a smile on his face, "Welcome to Suzhou, I am the person in charge here, Colonel Wang Kunyi." ”
"Colonel Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm from the 1st Destroyer Squadron of the 15th Route Army, squadron leader Chen Honglu." Chen Honglu and Wang Kunyi saluted each other.
"Team Chen has come from a long distance, running around and tiring, there is already room at the airport, I'll take you to rest after dinner." Hearing Chen Honglu's words, Wang Kun was heartbroken, Chen Honglu was originally the deputy captain of the Northeast Air Force Flying Eagle Team, and now he never mentions the original incident, but deliberately emphasizes the 15th Route Army, obviously planning to draw a clear line with the former Northeast Army. Listening to his tone, it seems that the persuasion work handed over by the boss this time is not very easy to do.
"No need, we have already rested at the Nanjing transit airport, please ask Colonel Wang to fill up our plane, eat some hot food now, and after replenishing your strength, I will take the team to Shanghai." Chen Honglu shook his head and smiled.
"This, sharpening the knife without cutting firewood by mistake, it won't be too hasty." Wang Kunyi didn't expect Chen Honglu to be so eager to participate in the war.
"The brothers of the 19th Route Army are fighting to the death and life of the Japanese army, fighting against the Japanese planes and artillery, I have bombed the Japanese army when I was in Mukden before, and I have also seen the Fengjun army bombed by the Japanese army. This situation is like the collapse of the sky, no matter how tired our side is, it is not as dangerous as the 19th Route Army on the ground. ”
"Okay then." Since Chen Honglu insisted, Wang Kunyi would no longer persuade anything, and the situation in Shanghai was indeed tense, even if he persuaded the other party, he had to see if the other party had real skills, and he would not be given any credit for pulling a rice bucket to Nanjing.
A rush of footsteps came into my ears, and I saw a soldier trotting over and said to Wang Kunyi urgently, "Seat, the war in Zhabei in Shanghai is urgent, and the soldiers participating in the war have suffered heavy losses under the Japanese bombardment, and the headquarters of the 19th Route Army has telegraphed me to ask the airport when I can take off fighters to reinforce the battlefield!" ”
"Call back the 19th Route Army, and in twenty minutes, reinforcements will definitely arrive over Shanghai." Chen Honglu said firmly.
The soldier looked at Chen Honglu, and then set his eyes on Wang Kunyi, after all, Wang Kunyi was his direct superior.
"Let's just go back to the 19th Route Army."
Hearing Wang Kunyi's words, the soldiers hurriedly ran back, with excitement on their faces, after so long, the air force finally joined the war.
"It's almost time, see you later!" The ground crew over there is almost done,
"I wish Colonel Chen a victorious start and raise the prestige of our Republic of China Air Force!" Wang Kun saluted Chen Honglu again. (To be continued.) )
