Chapter Ninety-Four: Blood in the Sky
Several destroyers swooped and strafed the Yue army from time to time around Li Fei's airspace, but the ammunition they carried was very limited, and they could not stop the approach of the Yue army at all, and the fuel was already close to the dangerous point of returning, so several destroyers flew into the distance one after another.
Without strafing and suppression, the Yue army began to frantically pounce on the depression where Li Fei was hiding, and a company of Chinese soldiers led by Qi Dazhi also appeared sixty or seventy meters away from Li Fei, but obviously the Yue army was closer, and Enbe Kazuichiro personally commanded the round-up of the Chinese pilots, and they must be caught alive! This is a death order from Kazuichiro Enbe to Morita Shinbayashi Nakasa!
In the rain of bullets, Li Fei looked at the Chinese soldiers who followed him and fell to the ground one after another in order to save him, almost the soldiers in front fell, and the corpses of their comrades rushed up behind, although the soldiers were also frequently shot and fell to the ground, but it was obvious that the speed of the army that occupied the terrain advantage was much faster to approach the depression, Li Fei killed three soldiers who broke into the depression in a row, and the feeling of driving a destroyer to strafe the soldiers and shooting the soldiers with his own hands was completely different from Li Fei's shock. The blood and twitching corpses seem to tell the world the cruelty of war! Two Chinese soldiers, who bravely rushed to the edge of the depression, were shot at the last moment and fell to the ground, blood splattered from their bodies and then covered with snow.
Looking at his comrade who was still desperately advancing Li Fei's eyes were red, if he continued like this, he didn't know how many more people would die? Qi Dazhi, who was holding a Czech-made light machine gun and frantically pulling the trigger, was also shot and fell to the ground, and was dragged down by his subordinates!
"Don't rush! Don't rush anymore! The Chinese soldiers were almost deaf to Li Fei's hoarse cries, they regarded death as their home, and marched forward bravely in the face of the rain of bullets and bullets of the army, they had only one thought at the moment, that is, to rescue the pilot, according to the words of the battalion commander, even if it was worth sacrificing the whole battalion, and exchanging the lives of nine hundred and seventy-eight people for the lives of one person? The simple Chinese soldiers never considered whether it was really worth it, but they knew that they would fight if they were paid to carry guns and food, and this was what they should do.
Commanders at all levels of the newly formed First Division never deducted military salaries, and they ate the full amount of food! In addition, there are often dinners and one or two old white cadres, which is not a lie to the soldiers, the commander said that it is worth it, then it must be worth it, and the little devil who did not repel after a night of fighting, let the plane be bombed and all retreated, this is the best proof.
You must not let your comrades and brothers sacrifice like this, Chengde is already alone, and so many officers and soldiers are sacrificed in order to rescue themselves?
In an instant, Li Fei mustered up unprecedented courage, put the revolver on his temple and yelled, Dad! Mother! Please forgive the child for not being filial, the child is loyal to the country and cannot be filial to the second elder, and after a hundred years of the second elder, the child must serve the second elder underground!
A line of tears flowed down his cheeks, and Li Fei pulled the trigger with a slightly trembling hand. Click? Li Fei opened the safety in surprise and pulled out the wheel, pouring all five empty shells into his hands? When I touched the holster on my waist, the five spare bullets on it fell somewhere?
Li Fei took a deep breath, he knew that he couldn't hesitate in the delay, otherwise the Chinese soldiers of that company would all die and carry out a surprise rescue in front of the position of the Yue army? This is simply suicide!
In an instant, Li Fei suddenly stood up, raised his pistol and rushed to the position of the army in the face of the rain of bullets, Li Fei's body trembled several times in a row as if he had suffered a heavy blow, and he knelt on the ground blankly, looking at the blood flowing from his chest, Li Fei muttered: "Chinese Air Force!" Swear not to surrender! All in one shot! For the country...... Benevolence! ”
Poof! Li Fei fell to the ground, and in an instant, the firepower on the position of the Yue army suddenly stopped, and all the attacking Yue troops were dumbfounded? Who didn't expect this pilot in a leather jacket to suddenly appear and look for his own death?
Kill! Qi Dazhi led the remnants of half of the face to use the firepower advantage of the submachine gun to repel the Yue army and snatch back Li Fei's body.
Hearing that a plane had been shot down, the front-line troops attacked to rescue the pilot, Zhang Xuewu personally arrived at the front-line position on the side ridge of Majiagou, and when Zhang Xuewu arrived, Li Fei's body had already been carried back to the position, and the third group of the artillery regiment was shelling the position of the Yue army.
Zhang Xuewu put down the telescope with a slightly trembling hand, and in an accident at 300 meters, dozens of Chinese soldiers' bodies fell to the ground, and many of them still maintained the appearance of a passionate charge.
At least seventy or eighty officers and soldiers were sacrificed in order to get back a pilot, Qi Dazhi himself hung up the lottery, Zhang Xuewu didn't know whether to encourage or blame, the pilots who died were young and scary, maybe only twenty-one or two years old? Maybe this is his first time in the air?
The chest that was continuously hit by the heavy machine gun completely collapsed, and the thick leather jacket was covered with blackened bullet holes, Zhang Xuewu took off his tweed coat and covered Li Fei's body and said: "Let the engineer battalion nail a coffin and collect the remains of the martyrs!" ”
Zhang Xuewu turned to Zhao Xinyu and said seriously: "Tonight, I will give you a battalion of reinforcements and the artillery fire of the whole division, and snatch back the bodies of the brothers who attacked for me, I promised everyone!" If I don't abandon and give up a brother, even if it's a corpse, I will snatch it back, and if I can't win the city, we will die together! ”
Zhang Xuewu's raised arms and shouted to make the officers and men present feel refreshed, most of the commanders were just talking impassionedly and bluntly, all of which were the words of some officials, while the people were hiding in the far rear and commanding by telephone, and how many of them were willing to take the lead and personally arrived at the front-line positions to inspect the actual situation? Zhang Xuewu looked around at the officers and soldiers beside him, his bright eyes and sincere faces, he was really like the comments of later generations, first-class soldiers, second-rate commanders, and unpopular commanders!
Therefore, Zhang Xuewu not only risked the danger to reach the front-line position, but also claimed that even the bodies of the brothers who died in battle would be recovered, which made all the officers and soldiers present have the urge to die!
The front counterattack on the front line of Laohugou and the air raid on the side ridge of Majiagou forced the 14th and 10th Divisions of the army to come to an end, and Matsuki Naoliang and Hirose Shousuke knew very well that it was impossible to organize such a continuous and large-scale fierce attack again in a short period of time, because the 14th and 10th Divisions had exhausted their last strength.
The air raid of the 10th Division of the Chinese Army inflicted heavy losses on the field artillery wing, and more deeply shocked the nerves of the Kwantung Army. This is obviously an unprecedented precedent, and Muto Nobuyoshi stood in front of the huge map and looked at Chengde and wondered? Why did the whole two divisions storm for a day and night, and still not be able to occupy Chengde, which was held by only one division of the [***]? Koiso Kuniaki, whose face was also very ugly, stood aside and was silent.
Obviously, now is not the time to say something, but to do it!
