Chapter 645: Blowing Up the Bridge
Takeo Yamashita found that his infantry was beaten to ashes at a distance of 300 meters, with corpses all over the ground and blood dripping from his heart, which were the essence of the Japanese army, and they were consumed like this. The effective range of the Type 38 rifle is less than 500 meters, in fact, this is only a theoretical value, and if it can hit a target at a distance of 300 meters on the battlefield, it is already the most powerful elite soldier, and obviously the Kumamoto United does not have this ability.
"Wing Commander, get artillery support!"
The eyes of the fierce man under the mountain suddenly widened: "In front of the imperial warriors, there is no difficulty, pass the order, let all the soldiers show courage, even if they charge with meat bullets, they must take Gaizhou!" ”
As the co-captain of the strongest unit, Takeo Yamashita is unwilling to show cowardice in front of anyone, including his own.
"Advance, the whole army advances!"
"Run, run as fast as you can!"
The 13th Wing began to play the traditional tactic of not killing again, and the soldiers, under the reprimand of the officer, got up from the ground, formed three arrows, and launched a surprise attack on the city of Gaizhou at the same time. They went one after another, not caring about the lives of others or their own, stepping on the corpses of the people in front of them, and rushing madly towards the city.
The dense meat bullets finally exceeded the killing speed of the firepower, and they finally broke through the line of life and death, and rushed firmly towards the position of the Feng army. The corners of Zhang Henian's mouth, who had been observing from the front line, also twitched slightly.
"You have to use your brains to fight, not rely on brute force, if the Japanese trump card is this virtue, these little devils will die clean sooner or later."
Zhang Henian said unceremoniously that the Feng army has always adhered to humanism, and when it comes to the battlefield, the soldiers do have to be desperate, but desperate and looking for death are two different things. If you fight all the people, how can this battle be fought?
"Order, let the soldiers retreat temporarily, attract the Japanese to the city, echelon consumption, I don't believe that the little devil can be so crazy all the time!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers fought and retreated, and the Japanese soldiers rushed into the city one after another. "Come on!" Facing the Japanese troops who were getting closer and closer in all directions, Qian bravely grabbed the cluster grenade and grew his arm round. So he threw this bundle of grenades into the middle of the Japanese.
After the violent explosion, scattered shrapnel blew the surrounding Japanese to pieces. Qian Yong was born as a miner, and he could carry more than 200 catties of coal, walk five or six kilometers of mountain roads, and his physical strength was amazing. He grabbed another grenade and threw it in the middle of the Japanese. These guys were blown to pieces. fell to the ground.
Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ...... The sound of machine guns rang out again, and the battlefield that had quieted down a little again rang out with dense explosions.
Countless tongues of fire burst out from under the rubble, behind windows, in ditches, and in craters! Light and heavy machine guns, rifles, grenadiers, mortars, and so on! The ruins and ruins of the small city that could no longer see the shape of the city were shot loudly, shouting and killing the sky. The Japanese infantry who were pouring into the city were immediately dazed by this metal whirlwind, and many of the soldiers who were rushing forward did not understand what was going on, and they were already hit by bullets and turned into corpses.
"Yaga! These despicable chinas, do not retreat. Rush up, get close to them, with a bayonet, and kill all the China pigs! Takeshi Yamashita shouted loudly, "Quick." Let the artillery bombard me and blow all the people to pieces. ”
The heavy casualties made Takeo Yamashita sober up a lot, and he could only ask for fire support. Of course, the Feng army would not lag behind, and Zhang Henian personally locked the only two 240mm guns onto the artillery positions of the Japanese.
In the dark night, patches of fiery red light continued to pour out from the artillery position, which was extremely dazzling, and Zhang Henian also showed fierce eyes, and with a wave of his big hand, two shells crossed the sky and smashed towards the Japanese.
Rumble! Rumble!
The sound of thunder shook the eardrums, and a shell fell on the Japanese 75 guns, along with the surrounding artillery, plus artillery, all of which were wiped out in an instant. More than a dozen shells that had been placed aside also exploded at all, and red-hot metal blocks flew everywhere, and all the surrounding Japanese artillery were affected, and corpses were blown away. The strength of the Japanese artillery was suddenly reduced by more than two percent.
Gaizhou is caught in a life-and-death struggle, and other directions are no exception. At the beginning of the war, Li Jinglin led the soldiers to bombard the Mantie annex, and the more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers in it were not willing to lose, but stubbornly resisted, and the sound of artillery continued continuously.
The Shuaifu has been changed to the Supreme Command, and Zhang Tinglan can clearly hear the rumbling cannons, but Zhang Tinglan is not worried about this point The Japanese are still fighting, they are just dishes in a bowl.
"Brother Baili, is there any news now?"
Jiang Fangzhen said with a smile: "Humble words, there is good news and bad news, but there is no news you want." ”
"Oh? Brother Baili, when did you change your career to fortune telling, how do you know what news I want? ”
"You don't need to know how to tell hexagrams, anyone can see it!" Yang Yuting smiled on the side: "Humble words, haven't you been staring at the Yalu River?" ”
Zhang Tinglan also nodded, and said with a wry smile: "The Korean Peninsula is the gateway to northern China, even if it is a dim-witted Manchu Qing, once the Japanese get involved in Korea, they will choose to fight, which shows the value of this peninsula to us." But now that the peninsula is in the hands of the Japanese, they can only hope that the Yalu River Bridge will be blown up, which can be regarded as the second best thing! ”
Jiang Fangzhen also smiled: "North Korea is indeed too important to China's national defense, without this peninsula, the three eastern provinces are exposed to the threat of the enemy, and the Bohai Sea control will also be handed over." But the meal should be eaten one bite at a time, first take back the South Manchurian Railway and Port Arthur, as for the next step, that is the Korean Peninsula! ”
While they were discussing the military situation, an unprecedented bombing campaign had begun. In Feng Yong's hands, a total of five bomber groups were hit, which was already the most luxurious lineup that the Feng army could concentrate.
Eighteen bombers from each bomber group, and four fighter groups escorted the bombers, and it can be said that most of the air essence of the Feng army was staked. The reason for this arrangement is also careful consideration.
Don't look at the fact that the Japanese also have garrisons in Luda, but the small area determines that Kwantung Prefecture can only become a nail, and the best base to really attack the Northeast is the Korean Peninsula, so the Feng army must first hit the Japanese garrison on the Korean Peninsula at the beginning of the war, so as to clean up the garbage inside the Feng army and buy time.
"Tomorrow morning, two bomber groups, escorted by a fighter group, will attack the Yalu River bridge. The other three brigades divided into three directions and bombed the Japanese strongholds along the Yalu River, while the industrial and mining enterprises in northern Korea were also attacked. ”
Feng Yong said to all the pilots: "Tomorrow is about the victory or defeat of the war, and it is also about the honor of our air force. ”
On the second day, God is also very face-saving, the weather is exceptionally sunny, the tarmac is full of Fengjun's planes, looking at the fighter plane that cannot be seen at a glance, Feng Yong is also very proud, a few years, from scratch, the air has grown, and the proud war eagle is finally able to protect the land of China.
"Brothers, you must win glory!"
As the plane rushed into the sky, Feng Yong also shouted in his heart. Two groups of bombers, loaded with bombs, flew towards the Yalu River.
After about half an hour of flight, they finally approached the Yalu River, and at this time two planes also appeared from the direction of Korea, which were none other than the Japanese reconnaissance planes, and they were also learning about the deployment of the Feng army.
Compared with the attention paid by the Feng army to the aircraft, the Japanese seemed a little numb, and both in terms of quality and quantity, they were all left behind by the Feng army.
After seeing the Japanese reconnaissance plane, the two Fengjun fighters rushed over unceremoniously, and the Japanese pilots tried to struggle, but they were all shot down to the ground and turned into two large fireballs.
The bombers finally reached the skies above the Yalu River Bridge, which began construction in May 1909 and was completed in October 1911 by the Railway Bureau of the Korean Governor-General's Office of Japan at the time, and was the choke point connecting Korea with the three eastern provinces.
It was such an important bridge, because Japan ignored the air force, but also ignored the threat of the air, there was no special air defense force around the bridge, until they saw the group of planes covering the sky, they felt frightened, the troops guarding the bridge hurriedly set up machine guns, and those without machine guns pointed their rifles into the air and kept firing.
However, these shots were completely blind and ineffective, not so much to defend the Feng army, but to give them their own courage and relieve the panic in their hearts.
It so happened that at this time, a military column full of Japanese soldiers happened to drive over, and according to Jihua, they were going to seize Dandong, and then set foot on Chinese soil in a steady stream. However, it was too unfortunate for them to come, and both ends of the bridge were filled with terrified Japanese soldiers.
Looking at the fat prey below, the pilot of the Feng army finally couldn't help it, the fighter first dived down, and the airborne machine gun fired fiercely at the Japanese below, a series of fires flashed, the Japanese kept falling, and the corpse fell into the surging river.
The rest of the Japanese cried and cried and ran around, the enemy on the bridge was almost wiped out, and the bombers also lowered their altitude and swept over the bridge, and the bombs were dropped at the moment of flying.
The first one fell into the water, and the second one also fell into the water, and if you want to successfully attack the bridge, you need jishu and luck, and both are indispensable.
Finally, a bomb landed on the bridge deck, which instantly blew the bridge deck off, and the troop transport train was also trapped, and all the Japanese on it fell into despair. Then two more bombs fell on the bridge deck, and I don't know how to blow up the bridge, and one of the bridge piers was damaged, and this throat was easily solved! Moreover, a train of Japanese soldiers was attached, and the air force could be described as victorious. (To be continued......)
