Chinese New Year's Eve, although there is a war, but the reunion dinner still has to be eaten. Dumplings or dumplings or something, that is eaten at noon, and the main meal is at night, so it is also called a reunion dinner. As for the student army eating dumplings at night, this is forced by the situation and is a last resort.

When the Japanese army launched an air raid, it was the time when families had finished their reunion dinner and set off firecrackers to drive away the New Year. Fuding and Fuzhou are frequently on the front line, and they have been repeatedly bombed by Japanese planes before, so it is said that the citizens will not be too attached to tradition. On the contrary, the more wars and turmoil, the more people want peace and the more they need to hold traditional ceremonies to express their aspirations. Matsui Ishine and Yamada chose to launch a surprise attack at this time, which can be said to have caught the sore foot of the student army, and naturally they can receive a different effect. Fortunately, the cadet army has a radar station, and the local government is also effective, so it can sound the air defense alarm at the first time. Otherwise, Fuding and Fuzhou at this time should have become hell on earth.

First Fuding, then Fuzhou, under the command of Yamada, 36 bombers first pinned out the strategic targets identified by reconnaissance, and then bombed the town. When they flew from Fuding to Fuzhou, their night bombing capabilities were greatly enhanced, and their combat skills became more and more proficient. The main bombing destination of the first wave of fighters was Fuding, while the destination of the second wave of fighters became Fuzhou. Another bomber of about thirty planes, which is also the only remaining bomber on the "Canglong". With the experience of the first wave of feedback, the combat skills of this wave of bombers have improved, and under the command of a young man named Sasaki Chitaka, a light bomber specially drops flares in front to provide guidance for the main fighters behind. As a result, the Japanese pilots' ability to distinguish between ground targets was greatly enhanced, and their bombing accuracy was also enhanced, and their destructive power against Fuzhou became even greater.

People in the coastal areas of Fujian began to dig air-raid shelters under the organization of the Cadet Army after the takeover of the Cadet Army, but the air-raid shelters could only protect people and valuables, but could not protect their bare homes. Chinese New Year's Eve was supposed to be the most festive day of the year, but at this moment, seeing the homes they had worked so hard to build collapsed in the artillery fire, and their belongings were destroyed, people had tears in their eyes, cursing the damned invaders, but there was only sadness and anger in their hearts, and there was no joy at all.

Wang Hai led a large group of white-sided dolphins to the air early to meet the attack, but he only conducted an air battle at night, not to mention that he had never had such an experience before, and it was inevitable that his hands and feet would feel unfamiliar. Even if you have special training, but if you go into battle in a hurry, your strength will also be affected.

Of course, the battle is one-sided, Yamada defines this madman, all the bombers are sent, so for the pilots of the 1st Air Division and a large squadron, as long as you can distinguish between friend and foe, and then as long as you aim at the enemy plane, then you can shoot down an enemy plane without hindrance.

In 10 minutes of air fighting, seven Japanese planes were shot down, and by this time, the enemy plane group had already completed its bombing and began to return home.

Wang Hai was just about to take the plane back to the airport when new information came from the aviation building: the second wave of Japanese fighters had arrived. Then go on, "Brothers, go up!" ”

Thirty-seven fighters, lined up in a long snake formation, followed the guidance of the ground to meet the target. Within 10 minutes, the airborne radar of Wang Hai's plane detected the position of the enemy plane, and after adjusting the course of the group, he slowly pulled it up and began to play the role of commanding the plane wholeheartedly.

When fierce aerial battles began to take place over Fuding and Fuzhou, the artillery fire of the heavy artillery brigade directly under the South China Front Headquarters began to extend to both sides of the forward positions of the 10th Division.

The defense line built by the 10th Division is located in Zaoxi Town, Guanmei Town, and Qiaodun Town, 15 kilometers southeast of the urban area of Fuding City, and is only five or six kilometers away from Cangnan. Abandoning Cangnan and guarding the suburbs seems unwise, but it has its own merits. Among the three towns, the focus of defense is Guanmei Town, which is relatively low in altitude compared to the other two towns. The 10th Division was expanded from Liu Yuqing's 26th Division of the Sichuan Army, and the characteristic of this division was that the soldiers were particularly able to endure hardships. Think about it, in that time and space, when the Sichuan army left Sichuan, they all wore straw sandals and ragged clothes, and they were once called the beggar army. However, after the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, it won the saying that "no Sichuan can not be an army", why? It's not based on their own performance in battle.

In order to build this line of defense, Liu Yuqing put in great effort. Under his planning, the 10th Division and the 2nd Fujian Guard Division built a total of six trenches in the area of Dalu Village, Guanmei Town, where the terrain was relatively gentle and conducive to marching, and dozens of light and dark pillboxes and a large number of hidden caves were built on the hills on both sides of the trenches. The targets of the Japanese army's shelling now are precisely these pillboxes and the hidden caves in between.

The southeastern coastal area of Fujian is hilly and mountainous, which is naturally an extremely favorable terrain for the defending side, and it is precisely because of such a strong landform that Jiang Guangnai can resist the South China Front with only one army and two divisions of guard troops. However, today is different from the past, the Japanese artillery fire is extremely dense, and it seems that there is also the meaning of not counting the loss of ammunition.

The 10th Division and the 2nd Guard Division were stationed at the front line by the 28th Brigade and the 3rd Guard Brigade. Among them, the 28th Brigade of Xue was mainly guarding Guanmei Town, while the 3rd Guard Brigade was divided into the bunker groups of Zaoxi Town and Qiaodun Town.

The defenders were well fortified and had a considerable ability to resist the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, but even if they hid in the anti-artillery holes, they could not withstand the sound impact of the bombshell explosion. After the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army lasted for a quarter of an hour, about 500 cadets became wounded because of bleeding from their eardrums, and the more serious ones were directly shocked to the eardrums and fainted.

This time, the South China Front Army broke out of the way, and a total of puppet troops entangled the 6th and 9th Divisions and the 5th Brigade of Independent Combat Vehicles attacked Fuding, and the scale of its artillery reached more than two brigades. And under Liu Yuqing, there is a brigade of artillery. Liu Yuqing's original plan was to wait for all the Japanese artillery to show their faces before they could strike a wave of annihilation, but now, he could no longer sit idly by.

The artillery of the Fuding Front Cadet Corps, two self-propelled artillery regiments of the 10th Division, plus a towed heavy artillery regiment of the 2nd Guards Division. In order to avoid the bombing of the Japanese planes, Liu Yuqing hid the three artillery regiments in Yuehu Township and Guanling Township respectively, and would move their positions every night. The artillery commander of the 10th Division was a Sichuan man named Ma Chun, and the commander of the artillery regiment of the 2nd Guard Division was a native of Fujian named Li Hai.

Liu Yuqing lived at the entrance of the forward headquarters and used a walkie-talkie to give Ma Chun and Li Hai an order to prepare to fight back, and then asked them to contact Fu Xiangfu, ordering them to find and destroy the enemy artillery within five minutes and move immediately.

"The little devil's aircraft carrier is parked offshore, so theoretically you only have one chance to counterattack - understand?" He said to the two of them at the last moment.

"Master, I understand my humble position!" Ma Chun first gave an affirmative answer. Lehi followed up and said, "Humble duty guarantees to complete the task!" ”
