Chapter 210 Shanghai 7
This battle in the air is even more dangerous than on the ground, and on the ground, if you are hit, you still have a chance to be injured and rescued. And once hit in the air, there is a chance that it will crash, and most of them will not be able to escape the situation of being killed on the spot.
The battle on the ground is not visible to idlers, and it is too dangerous to be on the front line in person after all. Ordinary people can't go there, but the battle in the air is in plain sight. Everyone craned their necks nervously as they watched the lightning chase of the planes on both sides in the air.
When they saw the Japanese plane biting the fighter plane painted with the blue sky and white sun and red flag, everyone couldn't help but feel tight in their hearts and short of breath. When I saw the fighter plane in sight that was bitten by the Japanese plane's tail turned sideways in the air, rolled sideways, entangled with the Japanese plane for a period of time, got rid of the threat of the Japanese plane, and hit the Japanese plane with bullets, and the Japanese plane fell to the ground with a column of blue and black smoke, all the worries and nervousness turned into shocking cheers at this moment, and many people had a layer of sweat on their bodies, as if they were in the scene, with a kind of luck for the rest of their lives, and at the same time there was a kind of almost cathartic pride after being oppressed for many years. For the first time in many years, the army of the Republic of China appeared in front of the Japanese army with such a confident and fearless posture. Even in the face of the superior Japanese army, they did not hesitate.
However, the battlefield was brutal, and the Japanese pilots, after the initial jerkiness, also regained a bit of the feeling of training, and began to play a little rhythm in the panic. After two planes were shot down in a row, one fighter plane was also hit, the fuel tank was hit, and it disintegrated and exploded into scattered parts directly in the air. The previous cheer turned into a gloomy sigh at this moment.
"The brothers in heaven are fighting hard with the Japanese army, and we don't have much time. Draw up all the reserves. Press it all up. "Seeing a plane in the sky shot down by a Japanese plane. A trace of regret flashed on Liu Zhanxiong's face, and he quickly came back to his senses and gave an order, the opportunity is not repeated, the Japanese army has more planes than the national army, maybe after a while, there will be Japanese fighters to arrive, and it is rare to see daytime days on the battlefield that are not threatened by Japanese planes like now.
After receiving Liu Zhanxiong's order, the two regiment commanders of the 119th Brigade showed their family backgrounds. The sound of hidden fire and gunfire is loud.
A volley of shells hit the Japanese bunkers on top of the rear. The Japanese troops in the brigade screamed in the explosion. The soldiers of a company of the 119th Brigade stepped on the point in time of the explosion and rushed forward.
Tom tom, the sound of the Japanese small steel cannon sounded, and the experienced soldier had already shouted and lay down, and his body quickly fell to the ground. The grenade fell to the ground and exploded, taking more than a dozen lives, but such casualties were commonplace for the 119 Brigade and could not shake their will to fight. The soldier lying on the ground was still pulling the bolt of his gun and fought back at the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side.
Rumble! A plaster machine in the sky smashed into the Japanese position in the distance with black smoke, and another Japanese plane was shot down.
"Brothers in heaven fight. Our 119th Brigade is not a bad breed, kill these little Japan! "The crash of the Japanese plane has made the ground forces even more demoralized. At this time, the ratio of fighters between the two sides in the air became 8 to 7, although the fighters of the Republic of China were one less. But the initiative in the air has been completely seized. Taking advantage of the gap between the suppression of the Japanese fighters, a bomber galloped in and dropped a bomb on a Japanese position that the first battalion of the 238th Regiment could not take after several attacks.
Dozens of soldiers of the Japanese Special Marine Corps on the position were killed and wounded in an instant, and a heavy machine gun, a small steel cannon, and two crooked guns were wiped out in an instant, leaving only a mutilated corpse in its place. There were also broken parts of machine guns that had been blown up and scattered.
"Kill!" Battalion Commander Liu, who had never fought in air-ground coordinated operations, decisively seized the opportunity to lead his troops to kill, and after several battles with the Japanese army, he had to face those annoying guys in the sky. At this time, Battalion Commander Liu and hundreds of soldiers in the battalion realized how happy it was to have these big birds in the air to support them on the battlefield. Without the bombs dropped by this plane, it would have cost at least nearly 100 casualties to gnaw this hard bone in front of you.
Hundreds of soldiers rushed into the panicked Special Marine Corps, and on the other side, a company of soldiers also mixed up with the Japanese soldiers, shouting and killing to the sky. The officers and men of the 119th Brigade were no better at fighting bayonets than the Japanese army, and were even slightly weaker, but at this time, the Special Marine Brigade was held by Liu Zhanxiong, and even the air support was suppressed by the Chinese army. At any time, the nearby Chinese army may come up and eat it. Difficulties are like springs, if you are strong, it will be weak, and if you are weak, he will be strong, and this is the case for the 19th Route Army.
Just as these Japanese soldiers were worried, Weng Zhaoyuan was also a guy with an extremely sensitive sense of smell on the battlefield, the seven planes withdrew from the battle, and then thought of the air support that the command said had arrived, Weng Zhaoyuan quickly associated the situation of the Japanese army in Zhabei, and was slapped by Liu Zhanxiong, and the strength of the two brigades of the Special Marine Corps was in a predicament, in order to avoid the annihilation of this unit, the Japanese army quickly organized reinforcements, and as many as fifty transport trucks on the way, There are also soldiers in the brigade who want to solve the main force of the 2,000 Japanese troops in Zhabei. However, to the surprise of the Japanese army, Weng Zhaoyuan, who was supposed to be in Wusong at this time, personally led his troops to block the road to reinforce the Japanese army, and took the lead in building a simple defense line.
"Finally, I blocked this Japanese army, informed Liu Zhanxiong, and said that he should annihilate the Japanese army in Zhabei as soon as possible, and I will guard the door for him here." Weng Zhaoyuan grinned, the scene of two different teams of fighters in the sky above Zhabei in the telescope was really exciting, it seemed that he really guessed correctly.
"Baga, rush over quickly, and be sure to support the Imperial besieged army as soon as possible!" When the Japanese commander learned that the road ahead had been blocked, Nomura gave the order in a rage. Brigades of soldiers scattered through the streets that had been battered by the war rushed towards the defenders.
After receiving the news that Weng Zhaoyuan had blocked the reinforcements of the Japanese army in a timely manner, Liu Zhanxiong breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the sky, another Japanese plane was shot down, whether it was the soldiers of the 119th Brigade on the ground or the cheers of the citizens of Shanghai, which were higher and higher. It seems that the Japanese in the sky are much worse than on the ground, at this time, the pilots of the Republic of China, who have leveled the comparison of fighters, are driving their planes like knights in the sky, and the Japanese bombers are scattered and fled, while the three bombers of the Republic of China provide valuable fire support to the 119 Brigade, which is already insufficient in firepower. After the two important firepower output points of the Special Marine Corps were blown up in succession, there was another earth-shattering sound, and a cannon was blown into the air by aerial bombs. This scene is just like the Japanese bombing of Wusong.
As more soldiers of the 119th Brigade rushed into the chaotic Japanese army, Weng Zhaoyuan cut off the reinforcement road of the Japanese army very punctually, and the Republic of China fighters in the air began to return, but the time was already evening, and the planes could not participate in the battle at night, and the Japanese army's firepower advantage would be weakened a lot in the night, and the end of this Japanese army was doomed at this time.
