As the sirens sounded for the lifting of the air raids, it was not the ordinary people who came out in advance, but the guard division and the Yan'an garrison brigade. They walked out of the air-raid shelter ahead of schedule to stabilize the chaotic situation after the air raid and ensure the stability of public order in Yan'an.

In fact, looking at the formation of air force fighters commanded by Zheng Shaoyu, chasing after those Japanese bombers who turned around and fled. He Zhengdao understood that unless the Japanese army sent its air force to carry out the bombing again, today's battle could be declared over.

Looking at Chen Geng, who also breathed a sigh of relief, He Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Old chief, it seems that we can breathe a little relieved." It's just that we still have a lot of things to do now, and I hope the old chief will work hard. ”

'There's that! If it weren't for your help this time, I'm afraid this battle wouldn't have been fought so beautifully! ’

'It's all your own family, so why talk about two families!' Now it is necessary for the old chief to give an order to the troops of the guard division on the periphery to make every effort to search for the surviving Japanese pilots and rescue the pilots who had previously parachuted out of our army.

Compared with the ordinary soldiers of the little devils, the stubbornness of the Japanese pilots is not too high. When arresting, you can first persuade the other party to lay down their arms and surrender. If you refuse to surrender, then there is no need to waste more words and shoot them directly.

Secondly, for each crashed Japanese plane, troops were arranged to protect it. The parts of these planes, dragged back to the Yulin Arsenal, I believe they will also be of great use, especially the downed Japanese bombers. ’

'Okay, I'll give the order!' Anything else? ’

Although such a thing is like this, it seems somewhat inappropriate to let He Zhengdao take an idea. But Chen Geng had already seen that he was dealing with this kind of thing. He Zhengdao is indeed well organized, and he has a good idea of when to do something.

Not to mention. Judging from his current military rank and position in the Eighth Route Army and the Central Committee, He Zhengdao's rank is undoubtedly a little higher. And Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu called He Zhengdao. It is not meant to be in command.

Seeing Chen Geng's very free and easy inquiry, He Zhengdao felt admired and moved, and quickly said: "Make a phone call to the garrison brigade commander and ask him to send troops to extinguish the mountain fires caused by the previous bombing and protect the houses that were blown up before."

The most important thing is to inform the people who are waiting to go home. In this air raid, the government will compensate them accordingly for the loss of their homes. When the time comes, someone will be sent to build them a new house. 1. The costs shall be borne by the Government.

There is another one, and I will tell the chairman and the commander-in-chief in person. The air force pursued to the border of Shaanxi, and let our troops there fire three signal flares at the pursuing air force, ordering them to stop the pursuit and return to Yulin.

In addition, the Japanese planes that crashed during the pursuit were collected by the garrison units. It is believed that after this air raid, the North China Front will want to organize another large-scale air raid, but I am afraid that it is unlikely. ”

'Good. Then the matter here will be left to you for the time being. I'm going to lay out the task and look at the casualties of the two anti-aircraft battalions. Hopefully, in this battle, they did not lose too badly. I'm not afraid that we will lose a lot. ’

Listening to Chen Geng's words, He Zhengdao also nodded and said, "Yes!" But there's no way around it! If it weren't for the two air defense battalions, many fighters escorted by the Japanese army would have been eliminated. There is no way for our air force to win! ”

In the face of such a large-scale air attack, they want not to lose a little of their own air defense forces. It's simply impossible. At least judging from the previous air battles, the air force group still has a certain advantage.

Mao Taizu and others who have been waiting in the air-raid shelter. Listening to the roar of the planes that gradually dissipated outside, he said with some curiosity: "Could it be that the little devil has ended the air raid?" At this time, why can't you hear the movement? ”

At this time, the phone rang again, and Mr. Zhu, who picked up the phone, quickly said, "Xiao He, how is the situation?" ”

'Report to the commander-in-chief, the air raid is over. At present, the air force that we have rushed to support has driven the Japanese bombers out of Yan'an and is in pursuit. He also asked the commander-in-chief to give an order for Lu Liang's troops to fire three flares to order them to withdraw.

Second, the headquarters was also requested to issue an order to protect the wreckage of the Japanese fighter plane that was shot down during the pursuit and send it to the central authorities. Judging from the previous air battles, the Japanese army dispatched new bombers this time.

If we can pick up the bomber engine that is still in good condition, it will also be of great help to us in the future development of aircraft. Even the materials of those aircraft had to be preserved and handed over to the military-industrial research institute for study. ’

'Good! I'll let Chief of Staff Zuo Quan send out the order later! Now, can we come out? Why hasn't the air defense alert been issued yet? Do you still want us to stay in this bomb shelter? ’

'Commander-in-Chief, just stay a little longer. The most important thing is that the troops need to clean up the mess first. In this bombing, I am afraid that many people's houses will be blown up. If the status quo of bombing is not maintained, there will be some problems.

Secondly, there is another reason, that is, I don't want too many people to know the result of our air battle. Although we can't hide the fact that we have an air force, when the next power is turned on, we can say that our losses are a little bigger. ’

As soon as he heard this, Mr. Zhu also smiled and said, "You kid, you like to keep a hand at any time!" Okay, then I'll wait! ”

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Zhu explained the situation to Mao Taizu and others. When they learned that the air raid was over, all the Japanese fighters covering the Japanese bombers were shot down in Yan'an City, and everyone felt a shock in their hearts.

In the previous Long March, the independent division had an example of shooting down a plane of the Central Army. But they also did not expect that in the face of such a large-scale bombing by the Japanese army, He Zhengdao commanded the guard division to shoot down so many Japanese planes again.

The news of this air battle victory spread, and it is estimated that many people will be surprised again!

When the defenders of Yanchuan arrived, they sent a telegram to see that the little devil's plane was returning in the direction of Taiyuan, and it seemed that there were planes engaged with it. He Zhengdao ordered: "Lift the air defense alarm, the little devil plane escaped!" ”

The messenger of the temporary command, with a smile on his face, gave the signal to disarm the air defense alarm. Many people staying in air-raid shelters also breathed a long sigh of relief when they heard this alarm.

The officers and soldiers in charge of the security guard of the air-raid shelter also smiled and said: "Fellow countrymen, I'm not wrong!" Little devil plane, can't stay with us for long. Now that it's safe, everyone can go home one after another.

With this incident, everyone will definitely prick up their ears in the future. When you hear an air raid siren, be sure to get here as fast as possible. It's really a little devil to block the house, and the consequences are unimaginable! As long as people live, everything is good! ”

In this way, the common people who hid in various air-raid shelters also came out of the air-raid shelters one after another. Many people and merchants living in the commercial streets of Yan'an City looked at the intact houses and shops, and they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

What moved them even more was the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were patrolling the streets. Compared to them hiding in the bomb shelter, these soldiers staying outside are undoubtedly more dangerous!

As the people returned home one after another, many people looked at the Phoenix Mountain, which was still smoking, and the direction of Yangjialing. How much do you know that these two places are the ones who suffered the bombing of the little devil's plane this time.

I thought that the Eighth Route Army had moved them out of Yangjialing and Phoenix Mountain, and the people who were somewhat dissatisfied suddenly felt very fortunate again. If they lived there, what would it be like at this moment?

Mao Taizu and others, who also walked out of the air-raid shelter, looked at Yangjialing after the bombing, and many courtyards in front of the caves were blown out of a big pit. Even in front of some cave houses, the earth and rocks that had collapsed were buried.

Such a post-war scene made many central leaders feel that the air-raid shelter that He Zhengdao strongly recommended to build was indeed very necessary. If you really want to hide in this kind of cave, the consequences are really uncertain!

The officers and men of the guard division are in the process of cleaning up these cave houses that have been blown down or damaged by the bombing. After a while, all the leaders found that their losses were actually not large.

The only thing that was a little angry was the courtyard where the five elders of Yan'an lived. Looking at the vegetable fields that had been cultivated so hard and were almost destroyed by an aerial bomb, several old people looked very angry.

'Is this little devil panicking with a lot of money?' Is it easy for the old man to work hard to grow some vegetables? Blowing up our vegetable garden, does this vegetable garden have a grudge against them? ’

Listening to the words of several old men, He Zhengdao, who also accompanied the inspection of the damage, could only smile and comfort: "A few old men, don't be too sad. After this explosion, the land for planting vegetables in the spring of next year will definitely be more fertile.

However, in the future, when you grow vegetables, you must also carefully clean up the shrapnel in the field. I think digging up these shrapnel should be enough to pay you for the vegetables in this vegetable garden. Little devil, it's still quite kind! ”

A joke drew laughter from everyone. It's just that it didn't take long for Chen Geng, who went to Phoenix Mountain to check, but his expression was somewhat sad. Seeing his expression, everyone knew that the air defense battalion had suffered a lot of losses.

Even Mao Taizu said directly: "Chen Geng, how is the loss of the air defense battalion?" ”

Faced with such an inquiry, Chen Geng said with some sadness: "The anti-aircraft machine gun battalion sacrificed forty-two people, and fifty-six people were seriously injured. Of the anti-aircraft machine guns that were equipped, only eight machine guns were still in use, and the other anti-aircraft machine guns were blown up.

As for the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, thirty-six people were killed and forty-seven were seriously wounded. One anti-aircraft gun was destroyed, and the rest of the anti-aircraft guns retreated in time and were still preserved. But the two anti-aircraft battalions, the reserve ammunition was almost exhausted. ”

Hearing such battle damage, Mr. Zhu also knew what it meant to the guard division. He sighed and said, "Alas, this is also a thousand kills and eight hundred self-losses." It seems that in the future, we must find a way to capture more anti-aircraft weapons! ”

Having said that, as far as the current situation is concerned, most of the anti-aircraft weapons equipped by the Japanese army are concentrated at airfields. As for the anti-Japanese forces in China, even if they have these anti-aircraft weapons, sometimes they are more ornamental.

After all, when anti-aircraft weapons go head-to-head with aircraft, it is the side of air defense that suffers. Not every officer and soldier who uses air defense weapons can calmly carry out aimed and strafing in the face of the dive fire of the little devil plane! (To be continued.) )
