Zhang Zhiyun led his troops to charge forward in a battle formation, and several Japanese bean tanks opened the way in front, followed by two Benniu tanks, and this offensive posture quickly aroused the vigilance of the Japanese army.

"Password!" When he was about to arrive at the Japanese artillery position, a Japanese sentry suddenly heard an inquiry from the front. There is no doubt that at this time, it must be the Japanese artillery guard unit that is still asking for the password at a fixed position, which also shows from the side that it is not far from the Japanese artillery position.

"Password!" The Japanese sentry was on high alert, and pulled the bolt at the same time as he asked for the password a second time.

"Yaga! We are from the 13th Brigade and now lost! A bearded ensign at the front of the line walked forward swearing, and before the Japanese sentry could react, the bearded ensign had already walked up to the sentry, and he grabbed the handle of his rifle with one hand, and at the same time drew the bayonet tied to his calf. The fleshy Japanese soldier immediately realized something, and he drew his knife hard, but the bearded ensign's knife was faster and had already pierced him in the stomach.

"Ahh The bearded second lieutenant was skilful and took the Type 38 rifle from his hand as he placed the sentry in his arms, which was like a puddle of mud. The second lieutenant drew his bayonet, wiped the blood from the Japanese sentry's body, and walked on.

Syllable! A gunshot rang out, and the bearded second lieutenant immediately lay down, and at the same time he raised the portable machine gun in his hand, pulled the trigger and threw a magazine out, and the Japanese soldier at the secret post was knocked out by the bullet a few meters away.

"Up!" Seeing that the gunshots had already sounded, Zhang Zhiyun knew that he could no longer continue to hide, so he decisively gave the order to attack.

The officers and men were well trained, and soon changed their battle formations, and under the cover of tanks, more than a hundred officers and men lined up in a skirmish line and began to move forward.

After hearing the gunshots, the Japanese artillery guards immediately moved, and the heavy machine guns on the machine gun posts rang out, but this blow also exposed their firepower, and the Benniu tanks in the lead bombarded the machine gun fortifications with one shot. Seeing this, the tankmen rushed forward with full horsepower.

The Japanese artillery guards guarding the area consisted of only a few dozen men in small squads, and their defensive line was quickly destroyed.

After breaking through the enemy's defensive line, the Japanese artillery positions were undoubtedly exposed, and at night, those small raised points should be artillery emplacements, but because of the lighting control, they could not see very clearly.

"Hit!" At this time, the two tanks found the right position to shell the enemy's artillery position, and after a bang, the enemy's artillery losses were not large. It turned out that the Japanese army had enough field fortifications to defend the artillery positions very well, and there was no damage in the artillery bombardment of both sides before this, not to mention just these tanks?

The Japanese soon reacted, and their troops began to counterattack. Noisy gunfire kept coming, and there were more and more enemy troops outside. After all, it was in the rear of the Japanese army, and in less than half an hour, thousands of Japanese troops rushed to support.

Zhang Zhiyun spat and scolded: "The estimation is wrong!" Now that the hornet's nest has been stabbed, withdraw! ”

"Withdraw?" The officers and soldiers were surprised, and a lieutenant came up and said, "Captain, our mission is to find and destroy the Japanese artillery position, and now we have found it?" ”

Zhang Zhiyun glared at him and said, "Can't you see it?" The guys we brought with us can't destroy the Japanese artillery positions at all, and to spend in this place is to wait for death. Stop talking nonsense and carry out the order. ”

The order to retreat was issued, and more than 100 officers and soldiers quickly fought and retreated, although the Japanese army had already surrounded a lot, but with the help of darkness, Zhang Zhiyun still brought the troops back almost completely. As soon as he returned, Zhang Zhiyun immediately reported the position of the Japanese artillery to his superiors and suggested that the information should be immediately fed back to the air force, and the air force would carry out covering bombing.

Zhang Fakui realized that the matter was urgent, so he took him directly to Sun Liren. When he saw Sun Liren, it was already early in the morning, and he looked at Zhang Zhiyun, who was standing straight, and the map that recorded the location of the Japanese artillery in detail, and did not speak for a long time.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Sun Liren spoke.

Zhang Zhiyun leaned on his heels and said neatly: "Report, our department disguised itself as a Japanese army to enter the enemy's defense to search according to the original plan, and found the Japanese artillery position at zero o'clock, but was discovered by the Japanese sentry, and our department immediately launched an attack. However, because the power of the weapons carried was not enough to effectively destroy the enemy's artillery positions, and the Japanese reinforcements had arrived, I ordered a retreat. ”

Sun Liren stood in front of him, put his hands in his pockets, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what is your mission?" ”

"Find the Japanese artillery positions and try to destroy them!" Zhang Zhiyun still replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"What about you?" Sun Liren asked.

Sun Liren's voice was not loud, but it seemed to be very weighty, Zhang Fakui, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but start to get nervous, he knew Sun Liren's temper, he was a very emotional officer, not long ago when Yao Ziqing died, he didn't eat for a day, and now his subordinates are greedy for life and afraid of death, won't it make him angry?

Zhang Fakui watched, he was ready to say a few good words at the right time.

"Report!" Zhang Zhiyun's report interrupted his thoughts.

"I gave the order to retreat without destroying the enemy's artillery positions. I failed to complete the mission and violated the military discipline of the battlefield, and I am willing to be punished! Zhang Zhiyun replied as if he had prepared in advance, and his answer was still neither humble nor arrogant.

Sun Liren didn't speak, he took the map that drew the target location of the Japanese artillery in his hand, and he called the officer on duty.

"Go, send this above position to the Songhu Theater Command, and then send a copy to the first brigade of the Air Force, asking them to carry out covering bombing of these positions."

The officer on duty immediately ran to the confidential room to deliver the message. Sun Liren copied with his hands behind his back, looked at Zhang Zhiyun and asked, "Tell me why you did this?" ”

Zhang Zhiyun said clearly: "Report! In situations where it is impossible to achieve results on the offensive, it is necessary to minimize losses. That's my reasoning. ”

"Isn't there a greed for life and fear of dying inside?" Sun Liren asked.

"Nope!" Zhang Zhiyun said categorically.

"If I let you take the troops back and continue to bomb the Japanese artillery positions now, will you still go?" Sun Liren hugged his arms and asked, Zhang Fakui, who was standing on the side, now understands that Sun Liren likes the officer in front of him a little.

"Report! I will carry out the military order, but I will raise an objection to you before it is carried out, because now there is no possibility or significance of expanding the results of the battle by entering the Japanese position again except for sending me and hundreds of brothers to death. Zhang Zhiyun replied calmly.

Sun Liren waved his hand: "Guard, shoot him down and lock him up!" ”

The guard carried out the order without saying a word, Zhang Zhiyun took off the armed belt on his waist and handed it over, and then followed the guard to the confinement room.

Zhang Fakui took off the steel helmet on his head, scratched his scalp and said, "What to do with this kid?" ”

Sun Liren didn't speak, and Zhang Fakui said to himself: "Although Zhiyun is sometimes more proud, he still has a hand in fighting. Hey, young man, it's just that there are too many edges and corners. ”

Sun Liren let go of his hand and snorted lightly: "If there are more edges and corners, then grind more!" ”

……

After receiving the specific location of the Japanese artillery reported from the front, the Songhu Operational Command immediately approved and transferred it to the Suzhou airfield of the Jianqiao Air Force Headquarters.

As soon as he forwarded it, Zhang Zhizhong heard the roaring engine outside, and when the other officers were still wondering, Zhang Zhizhong smiled and said, "This Sun Liren, sing a double reed for me again." ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he smiled and said, "When Sun Liren passed on this information to us, he must have also passed the location to the first brigade of Suzhou Airport. In wartime, the Air Force is strictly deployed, and if it is transferred to us and then transferred to a large group, don't look at the fact that the airport is not far from us, but these few procedures can trouble people to death, and it can delay a lot of time back and forth. They sent a telegram to the Air Force, so that the Air Force had a time to prepare in advance, so that they could take off to fight as soon as the order arrived, not to mention that Liu Cuigang of the first brigade was also a guy who did not 'keep to himself', and they must have thought about how to torture the Japanese together. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhizhong smiled heartily, it is still a great blessing to have such a tiger general under his command. As for those military regulations that stipulate liaison between units and the like, let them hell with it, the war began with everything to serve to win the war.

At this time, Liu Cuigang had just flown over Zhang Zhizhong's head with a bomber. These eight medium bombers were the main force of the bombers at Suzhou Airport, and not long ago they carried out the mission of bombing the Japanese warship Izumo, but two of them were shot down because they flew too low, and the fighter plane piloted by Liu Cuigang was also shot, and his trousers were all holed, and if he moved a little further, his leg was useless.

However, this not only could not deter Liu Cuigang's will to fight, but also made him even more exciting his desire to fight.

This time, he and the pilot Fu Guoqiang teamed up, this young man was shot down not long ago, but fortunately the army brothers saved him, I heard that the army brothers sacrificed a lot in order to fight the Japanese special marine headquarters, so when he heard that this time he was going to bomb the Japanese artillery positions and the Japanese special marine headquarters headquarters, he mainly asked to get on the bomber.

Liu Cuigang is also a bold person, and when he saw that he was eager to fight, he directly agreed to let him get on the plane to serve as his deputy.

Fu Guoqiang was extremely excited, and the two of them piloted the plane to lead the remaining bombers, and the zigzag formation flew towards Shanghai with the huge roar of the engine......
