Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Handjob Effect

Two planes had accidents one after another, and the other Japanese pilots concluded that this was definitely not an accident, but a trap designed by the people on the ground, waiting for them to take the bait, and one by one, they no longer cared about the accuracy of the attack, and dropped all the bombs at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. Drop the bombs, dive and strafe is unthinkable, send a telegram to the ground troops, meaning that the buddies have done their best, you can ask for more blessings, and then go straight back.

The irresponsibility of the air force caused many bombs to fall on the heads of the little devils themselves, and because they were all looking up to the performance of their fighters and waiting for a general attack, they did not honestly cat in the air-raid shelter one by one like the officers and men of the Second Regiment, and as a result, they suffered heavy losses.

In the first round of tentative attacks, the little devils fell to seventy or eighty people, and now under the precise strikes of their own planes, they have hung up no less than 100 and injured even more. And there were only two tanks left on which they relied as a barrier, and their morale was extremely low for a while. Many of the little devil's wounded soldiers fell in pools of blood, groaning and asking their companions: "What's the matter, why did our planes bomb us instead?" ”

The seven orifices of the riverside Zhengsanqi smoked, and while cursing the dead ghost of Kimura Bald, he asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the headquarters, Yun: Because of the accidental bombing by the air force, the morale of the headquarters was greatly damaged, the morale was low, and it was no longer able to fight, so I asked for support.

Dochihara and Tada Jun were waiting for the news of the victory with ease, but they got such information, and they were shocked, and it happened that the returning plane flew over Tianjin, and they found that there were only four of the six when they went, and the latest Type 92 was not among them, especially I didn't believe that it was beaten down by the Cadet Division, and Tohihara reported the matter to Nanjiro while calling the Kimura Air Brigade, and sternly reprimanded them for delaying the fighter plane and fighting ineffectively. Let Kimura Bald immediately review and prepare to send more sorties to bomb, and the cloud can go deep into the strategic targets in Renqiu.

At this time, the Kimura Air Brigade did not know that Kimura had already met Amaterasu, and the squadron leader who answered the phone "Hai" kept asking His Excellency the Commander to calm his anger and promised that when the first captain returned, he would immediately launch a second attack.

An hour later, while Tsuchihara was waiting for more planes to fly overhead, the air brigade called and reported the battle situation of Kimura's death and loss of two planes.

Dohihara was taken aback, and before he could react, Minamijiro called and asked Tada Jun and him to suspend the military operation and withdraw the garrison immediately.

On the phone, Tu Feiyuan asked: "Your Excellency Commander, what has happened, if you let the garrison withdraw now, then it will be tantamount to admitting the failure of this operation, and it will inevitably deal a heavy blow to the prestige of the imperial army." ”

In fact, Nanjiro had just received general news from China, and he didn't know the truth, telling him that Matsui Taikuro had returned from Hong Kong, and the adjustment of the base camp's policy in North China this time was related to a pistol he had seized from Ouyang Yun.

After careful study of the pistol with infrared aiming, some Japanese firearms experts came to the conclusion that this pistol was at least 20 years more advanced than the most advanced pistols of its time. From this, it is concluded that this pistol should be from the United States, which means that Ouyang Yun must have the support of the Americans. Although the Japanese had long set their sights on the abundant resources of Southeast Asia and believed that only by occupying there could they truly achieve the goal of dominating the world, at this time, they did not dare to start a war with the United States, so they had no choice but to adjust their policy in North China and adopt the views of the moderaters, believing that the most important thing at present was to digest and absorb the three northeastern provinces that had not been occupied for a long time, and to make efforts to gain international recognition for the puppet state of Manchukuo, and that the autonomy of North China could be delayed.

On the position of the Second Regiment outside Daliuhe Town, the soldiers rushed out of the trenches and air-raid shelters and cheered to their heart's content. For a while, hats and guns flew all over the sky, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than the festive atmosphere.

Ouyang Yun stood up from the mound with the help of Liu Zheliang and them, especially not believing that the little devil was defeated like this. Except for him, these beasts are inferior to the beasts who will attack to the death for the so-called bushido.

"Master, you are really amazing!" When he saw Ouyang Yun, whether it was a soldier or an officer, his eyes were full of red hearts, and the first sentence was such a heartfelt compliment - the news of Shizuo's visit to the front line to fight the plane had already spread throughout the entire position, although there was a debate about how he shot down the little devil's plane (some said that he used a rifle, some said that he used a heavy machine gun, and even more said that he used a flying knife and qigong), but one thing has become an ironclad thing, that is, he did personally shoot down two planes.

"Ouyang, it's incredible, how did you do it?" Back at the headquarters of the Second Regiment, Li Tieshu and Ji Xingwen also arrived, and as soon as they met, Ji Xingwen raised this more professional and objective question.

Ouyang Yun had already broken up the blocking step at this time, he held up the gun box and said, "Just rely on it." Then he explained: The little devils are all dive bombers this time, and if they want to drop bombs, they must dive, and after dropping bombs, they will definitely pull up the nose of the plane, and there will be a short time in the air at this time, which is suitable for aiming and shooting.

His explanation is actually general, because the shooting is in the air, and the target is a moving object, so there is a question of the amount of shooting and aiming advance, and the wind speed must also be taken into account. Suffice it to say, without considerable skill, actual combat experience, and a little bit of luck, even if you can have a better blocking step than this, it is unlikely that you will be able to accomplish a similar task.

Under Ouyang Yun's deliberate publicity, the news of the victory of the cadet division was first published in the extra issue of the "Renqiu Times" later that day, and then, with the news report entitled "The 'Anti-Japanese Twin Heroes' Again Performed Miraculous Achievements, Single-handedly Shot Down Two Japanese Fighters" written by Mei Lanshu was reprinted by major domestic mainstream newspapers, and the Cadet Division and Ouyang Yun were in the limelight for a while. Under this general climate condition, the Nationalist Government quickly changed the principle and policy of dealing with the "Renqiu Incident", first condemned Japan's aggression in severe terms, and then commended Ouyang Yun and the Cadet Division, promoted Ouyang Yun's military rank to Lieutenant General, and awarded the veteran a photo and a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and awarded the Cadet Soldier 50W yuan.

After that, groups of patriotic and enthusiastic young people began to march to Renqiu, and they asked to join the cadet division. Since the second and third brigades of the Cadet Division were full, in this case, Ouyang Yun felt that he should have a good talk with Zhang Zhen.

After getting along for a few months in the past few months, Zhang Zhen has already understood Ouyang Yun, and the latter's performance in coming to the front line to shoot down Japanese fighters has undoubtedly gained a lot of points for himself, which has made the dialogue between them always in a relatively friendly atmosphere.

As soon as the two sat down, Ouyang Yun went straight to the point and said, "Brigade Commander Zhang, it's been more than a month since you arrived at the Soldier Division, how do you feel?" Is it possible for an army like ours to drive the little devils out of China? ”

Zhang Zhen thought for a while and said: "If we only rely on morale and the quality of soldiers, I think there is no doubt about it, but the decisive factor in modern warfare is not only people, but also advanced weapons. With all due respect, if the Japanese tanks, planes, and artillery could not be effectively contained, the Cadet Division might have been prosperous for a while, but it would certainly have been defeated in the end. Division, this time the Japanese army only dispatched six fighters, if they dispatched twenty or even two hundred, do you think we still have the capital to fight with one of them? ”

Ouyang Yun nodded: "You're right, then, what if the Cadet can have a weapon to fight against these?" Will the 1st Military Police Regiment be able to truly integrate into the cadet division from the standpoint of national righteousness? ”

Zhang Zhen replied in a flash: "Aren't we now a cadet soldier?" ”

Ouyang Yun smiled: "Brigade Commander Zhang, we are all smart people, let's not make some things clear." In my heart, as long as it is beneficial to the Chinese nation, then I will do it, even if it will violate the interests of some special groups, and therefore bring danger to my career and even my life. ”

Zhang Zhen thought for a while and said: "Shizuo, I sincerely admire you for having such an idea, from a personal point of view, I hope to fight side by side with you and the Cadet Division, but the Gendarmerie Regiment is a special group, you should know the original intention of the Ludao National Government to establish it, right?" ”

Ouyang Yun sneered, "Serving someone? ”

"You can say that."

Ouyang Yun felt a little disappointed, and said in his heart It seems that Lao Jiang has brainwashed Zhang Zhen, isn't this foolish loyalty? He said: "It seems that Brigade Commander Zhang is very devout about his beliefs, so we will not have a chance to fight against Japan and fight devils together." It is a pity that the first regiment of the military police is the best in the national army in terms of soldier quality and combat effectiveness. ”

Zhang Zhen said: "I actually really want to fight against Japan and kill devils with Shizuo, but the composition of the first regiment of the gendarmerie is very complicated, Shizuo, let me tell you the truth, in fact, I can't command them with full authority." ”

Ouyang Yun was taken aback and asked, "Could it be that there is still an underground command system in your regiment?!" ”

Zhang Zhen nodded with a wry smile, and whispered: "You should know what our chairman came from, he is very familiar with this set." ”

"And what is the opinion of the fighters? As you know, there are many progressive young people from all over the country who come to Renqiu, and they want to join us in fighting devils. However, the whole division still has spare strength in your brigade, and I can't do anything about it. ”

"Master, I've talked too much just now, I'm sorry, there are some things I really can't do."

Ouyang Yun looked at him deeply twice, and understood everything.
