Chapter 458: Air Raid Response (Five Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Since the news spread that the Eighth Route Army had captured nearly 5,000 men of the 12th Division, the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army were reprimanded by the Japanese headquarters. For these surrendered officers and soldiers, the Japanese army headquarters also instructed to find a way to clear them.

Even in the telegrams sent by the Japanese army headquarters to the two fronts, it was clearly instructed that these surrendered Japanese troops were traitors. This definition undoubtedly made the invading Japanese army still in China feel real fear.

Once identified as traitors, it means that even if they return home alive, they will be severely punished by the government. The most important thing is that for traitors, the spies of the special high school who are active in various parts of China will try their best to solve them.

After learning that the Central Army had sent a delegation to demand the prisoners from the Eighth Route Army. understood that the Central Army wanted to use these prisoners to carry out anti-Japanese war propaganda, and if the Central Army succeeded, the Japanese army was afraid that it would be disgraced and thrown abroad.

Today, in Asia and even in some countries in the world, the Japanese army is undoubtedly the elite representative of the Asian army. If the Central Army really dragged those captured generals and soldiers to fight against the war and declare war, I am afraid that the reputation of the Japanese bowl in the international community will also be greatly reduced.

Although the little devils don't care much about international reputation, for them who admire the strong, they can't tolerate others attacking them with the incompetence of the Japanese army. It was precisely because of these worries that the Japanese Army Headquarters strictly ordered the two fronts to cooperate in handling the matter.

We must do everything possible to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army, which captured the 12th Division. Do everything you can to kill the two Japanese major generals who took the lead in surrendering. As for the other Japanese officers and soldiers, the Japanese army also wanted to be killed.

As far as the Japanese army is concerned, if they do not severely punish this act of surrender, they are also very worried about affecting the morale of the Japanese army invading China. For this reason, we should also take this opportunity to warn the rest of the troops that they would rather die than be taken prisoner.

With the strict orders of the Japanese army headquarters, the North China Front and the Kwantung Army jointly organized this large-scale bombing operation. In addition to learning that the Eighth Route Army had a certain air defense capability, the two front armies deliberately chose the time in the afternoon.

According to their bombing plan, the two bomber formations took off from the North China Front and focused on bombing Xi'an, which had no air defense capability. In the eyes of the Japanese army, it was the location of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

They had also organized a lot of bombing of Shaanxi before, and according to the Japanese army's understanding, Yan'an's air defense strength continued to be strong. The bombing of Yan'an is likely to lead to the loss of the bomber formation.

Even if there is a steady stream of planes replenished from the country, for the Japanese army, the loss of an aircraft will also feel distressing. For this reason, persimmons picked soft pinch, and the two bomber formations focused on bombing Yulin and Xi'an.

When the bomber formation organized by the Kwantung Army flew over Yulin, the Japanese bomber formation that took off from Shijiazhuang had already launched a bombing of Xi'an City. Fortunately, at this time, the entire city of soldiers and civilians had withdrawn into the air-raid shelter.

Listening to the constant explosions in the city, Mr. Peng, who was staying at the air defense command post, said angrily: "Why hasn't the air defense battalion started yet?" If the little devil continues to blow up like this, the entire city of Xi'an will be blown up. ”

On the contrary, Mr. Zhu said very calmly: "Don't worry! We only have two air defense battalions, and in the face of the air force that is attacking in a big way by the little devils, it is not very useful to counterattack in advance. To trust them, we just have to wait quietly. ”

Xi'an City, which was guarded by only two air defense battalions, naturally could not bring the entire Xi'an City under its management. As Japanese fighters continued to enter the range of the air defense battalion, many fighters of the air defense battalion had already put their hands on the trigger.

When the little devil's plane entered the fire network, the commander of the air defense battalion in charge of the command immediately said: "Whole battalion, fire!" ”

With the battalion commander's order, the various anti-aircraft fire points set up in the city instantly hit the sky with red-hot anti-aircraft shells. Looking at the strings of anti-aircraft shells that rose into the air, the little devil bombers who were not aware of the ratio quickly suffered.

'Yaga! There are anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, pull up! Get out of range of their fire as soon as possible! ’

Even the pilots with little devils quickly raised the altitude of the plane when they saw that the situation was not good. But in the face of a series of sweeping anti-aircraft shells, many Japanese fighters that were hit also began to explode in the air, or fell out of the city with black smoke.

Mr. Peng, who also heard the air defense battalion firing, looked at those little devil planes that exploded in the air, and laughed: "Okay! Dog*, this time you know the consequences of blowing us up! It's really impossible for us to bully! ”

The bomber formations were ambushed by anti-aircraft guns, and the fighters, acting as cover, also began to accelerate their protection. For Xi'an City to suddenly have anti-aircraft firepower, it was indeed a bit unexpected for them.

At the same time that these fighters began to fire high-altitude machine guns, anti-aircraft machine gun battalions also began to join the air defense battle. In the face of renewed anti-aircraft fire, these fighters were also flying around in the air.

Compared with the firing speed of anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns have a greater range than anti-aircraft guns, although they do not have a long range of anti-aircraft guns. This kind of combined fire defense in medium and low airspace caused the Japanese fighters and bombers to continue to suffer casualties.

When the air defense battalion continued to shoot down the incoming Japanese planes, the madness of the little devil fighters also caused the air defense battalion to continue to suffer losses. But there was a threat of fire from the air defense battalion, and the bomber formation of the little devils did not dare to easily wreak havoc in the skies over Xi'an.

Many brave people stood in front of the bomb shelter and watched the gunfire in the city. Every time I see a little devil's plane shot down, I will applaud loudly. For them, they are also extremely disgusted with the planes of the little devils.

By the time the fire of the two air defense battalions had stopped, the bomber formation from Shijiazhuang had also lost nearly 30 aircraft. For such a loss, the bomber formation of the little devils was naturally very angry.

On the other hand, the air defense battalion, which had run out of shells and bullets, could only say, "Hurry up!" Take shelter in a bomb shelter! ”

As the fire of the air defense battalion stopped, Mr. Peng at the command post also said unwillingly: "Alas, our anti-aircraft artillery shells are still a little less. If there are enough shells, these little devils must have no return! ”

Regarding Mr. Peng's unwillingness, Mr. Zhu also nodded and said, "Yes!" In the final analysis, our current anti-aircraft weapons also rely more on capture. This time we will definitely lose a lot, but don't try to get too much bargain.

What I'm really worried about now is the situation in Yulin. According to the telegrams received earlier, there were nearly a hundred little devil planes bombing Yulin. On their side, the current air defense strength also needs to be strengthened! ”

'It should be fine!' In terms of anti-aircraft firepower, the independent column should be stronger than both the headquarters and the central one. In the bulletin sent by the independent column some time ago, didn't it say that they formed two more air defense battalions? And a 75 anti-aircraft artillery battalion too! ’

'You are also a soldier who leads troops, do you think that forming an air defense battalion can form combat effectiveness with weapons?' If this were the case, our two air defense battalions would have known to the little devils long ago. This air defense battalion, peacetime training is also very important.

The fact that our air defense battalion was able to achieve such results this time has a lot to do with their usual training. But even so, they all trained for more than three months. The two newly formed air defense battalions of the independent column are only afraid of less than half a month of training time, right? ’

Let Mr. Zhu say this, Mr. Peng thought for a while and said, "It's too!" However, that kid has a lot of ideas, and he also has a hand in training. I think they should be able to deal with the incoming Kwantung Army planes! ”

'I hope so!' This time, our Eighth Route Army is only afraid of another big loss! In the final analysis, we still lack effective means of air defense, and I really hope that our air force can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible! ’

In the face of Mr. Zhu's exclamation, Mr. Peng said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, if you want the Air Force to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, in the final analysis, you still need planes!" At present, there are nearly 1,000 pilots who can fly airplanes in our aviation school in Yulin.

But there are less than a hundred planes that you really have. Without aircraft, how can our Air Force form combat effectiveness? I just don't know how the negotiations between the Central Committee and the Soviet Union are progressing this time!

Sometimes, I also wonder if we want us to help them more, and if there are any good things here, they will all be sent to the Central Army. It would be great if the planes sent to the Central Army could be sent to us! ”

Don't say that in the future! I think the central government will have a plan! ’

As the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, in fact, Mr. Zhu sometimes couldn't understand why the Soviet Union, as the big brother, also sent a large amount of aid materials to the Central Army. You know, they're supposed to be on one side.

If their strength is too weak, then Mr. Zhu feels that the Eighth Route Army at this moment has become the backbone of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War Army. If it can get assistance from the Soviet side, I believe that the strength of the Eighth Route Army can be improved more rapidly.

It's just that there are some things that I know in my heart, but I can't just say them. After all, there are still many pro-Soviet leaders in the Eighth Route Army. In the eyes of those people, the Eighth Route Army still needs more help from the big brother of the Soviet Union.

Just when the little devil air force that bombed Xi'an could only choose to leave helplessly. Facing the Japanese bomber formation that arrived over Yulin City, He Zhengdao also showed a trace of fierce eyes.

Thinking of the range of 75 anti-aircraft guns, look at these menacing little devil bomber formations. He Zhengdao immediately said: "75 anti-aircraft artillery battalion, start aiming!" Remember, shoot the shells at the center of the little devil formation! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Although the 75 anti-aircraft guns were not fast, they had a long range. In addition to this, the shells of the 75 anti-aircraft guns were no less powerful. This means that as long as the little devil plane is hit by anti-aircraft shells, it will be hit hard.

Thinking of these bombers, even the bombers who had dropped their bombs before did not return but came to Yulin with the formation to show off their might. He Zhengdao felt that maybe it was time to give the little devil air force a 'welcome' ceremony that frightened them!
