Chapter 50: The Decisive Battle (14)
Okuichiro's strategy seems to have worked again. The 10th Division wanted to relieve the siege of the 12th Division, but halfway through, he found himself the main target of the Japanese army.
In mountain warfare, it is difficult to collect intelligence, and now, Ouyang Yun has deeply experienced the consequences of the lack of intelligence. Unexpectedly, Okuichiro actually hid a heavy artillery unit of such a scale, if the Japanese army fought more accurately, if the rocket artillery regiment was wiped out, then he really wanted to cry without tears.
Thinking of the telegram sent by Jiang Guangnai asking them not to rush to meet him for the time being, and the content of the telegram sent by Ji Xingwen, Ouyang Yun and Liu Yuqing finally understood the true intentions of the Japanese. Okuichiro did so much homework before, but it was only him. "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu has really become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Japanese, aren't they afraid that their attacks regardless of losses will outweigh the losses?" Ouyang Yun said.
Liu Yuqing was much more nervous than Ouyang Yun. If Ouyang Yun had an accident with him, then this responsibility was not something he could afford at all, presumably, no matter whether he won or lost, he would not be able to escape the difficulties from the Yun system, right? This is nothing, the most terrifying thing is that once Ouyang Yun has an accident, then the Xuebing army will be leaderless, so it is possible that it will collapse or even break up.
Although Liu Yuqing has not joined the Cadet Army for a long time, he has deeply realized the benefits of the Cadet Army, and he has long been like his old subordinates, proudly claiming to be a Cadet Soldier.
It's good to be an officer of the cadet army, as long as you go up to a certain level, you can participate in the dividends of the directly affiliated enterprises, even if you can't get rich, it is far more than they can imagine. In this way, you just need to bring good soldiers to fight a good battle, and there is no need to worry about the future or even money.
These turtle sons under his command are also happy now, right? Definitely, the salary of ordinary soldiers is five yuan per month, but no, now it has been changed to a soldier coin, ten yuan per month, which is enough to maintain the expenses of a family of five for a quarter. It is easy to live from a hard life to a good life, but from a good life to a hard life - Liu Yuqing believes that if he stands up and calls his old comrades-in-arms and old subordinates to follow him back to Sichuan at this time, there will definitely not be more than a hundred people - it's not that he Liu Yuqing's character is too bad, but it's that the welfare of the student army is too good. When I was in Sichuan, some of the soldiers were called "bandits", which shows the helplessness and resentment of the common people against being soldiers, but under the rule of the student army, the soldiers were the people's children and were loved by the people......
Liu Yuqing thought a little too much, so he didn't hear what Ouyang Yun said at all, and after relieving himself, he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion directly under the division and the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade to escort Ouyang Yun away. He took care of his guard battalion commander like this: "If the troops are gone, they can be recruited again, but if something happens to the commander-in-chief, then everything will be over." Protect the safety of the commander-in-chief at all costs, can you do it? ”
"Shizuo, don't worry, as long as there is one person in the guard battalion, the commander-in-chief will not lose a single hair."
The two of them talked to themselves, but Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "What do you mean, you want to drive me away?" Don't worry, the bullet that killed me hasn't been made yet, and I'll have to stay here. ”
"Commander-in-Chief, I can't carry out your orders this time, it's too dangerous here-"
As soon as Liu Yuqing finished speaking, there was a humming engine roar from the southeast, and the organic swarm descended.
Just yesterday, all the new-type fighters of the 1st Air Division to the 4th Air Division of the Cadet Corps were transferred to the field under the command of Tie Linfei, and then took off from the Dapu Airport, which is the closest airport to Kaohsiung in Taiwan, and wantonly bombed Japanese fortifications, military buildings, and arsenals in Tainan, Kaohsiung (counties and cities), Pingtung, and Taitung, in order to reduce the pressure on the Taiwan Corps.
The transfer of the Taiwanese Corps from Ryukyu Island was quite smooth, but only one day later, they were discovered by the Japanese army, and a fierce battle ensued with the Taiwanese garrison. When he learned that the Cadet Army had invaded the Tainan area on a large scale, he regarded it as a great shame and a great humiliation, and immediately reported to the military headquarters to ask for reinforcements, and while waiting for reinforcements, he mobilized the strength of one and a half wings of the Taiwan brigade and launched a fierce offensive against the Tainan area where the Taiwan Corps was located. At the same time, he also requested the support of the Combined Fleet, and invited all three other aircraft carriers except the Canglong to Taipei, and immediately bombed the Taiwan Corps. Tie Linfei did this, precisely according to Ouyang Yun's deployment, using air strikes to reduce the pressure on the Taiwan Corps, but in this way, on the battlefield of Fujian and Zhejiang, the air supremacy of the Cadet Army could only be abandoned.
The artillery of the Cadet Army was sharp, which left a deep impression on the Japanese army in the Second Battle of the Great Wall. After two rounds of shelling, the two heavy artillery brigades that Okuichiro had in his possession immediately asked the artillery to stop the shelling and instead took advantage of the gap between the bombardments of the aircraft group to transfer. At the same time, he gave an order, prepared for the attack, and wanted to swallow the Tenth Division in one go.
The first wave of bombing of the Soryu combat aircraft group led by Atsuki Kuramura was almost futile, which caused the 9th Division to complain, especially Kazuo Shugi, who directly shifted the responsibility for the disadvantage of the battle onto the naval aviation.
Kazuo Hugi's 36th Wing suffered heavy losses from the previous indiscriminate shelling, and the entire Wing now adds up to only about one brigade or so.
Kuramura Atsuhime returned to the Canglong to sum up his experience, believing that it was caused by the insufficient equipment of the main fighters, so he strongly requested to continue to command the second round of air raid missions, and this time, considering that the Cadet Army did not have air force support, only six of the 42 fighters dispatched were fighters to serve as escort missions, and the others were all bombers of various types.
Before the sortie, Kuramura Atsuhime personally cheered up the pilots and said: "The 9th Division of the Army so questioned the capabilities of our naval aviation, and it is a shame for our naval aviation. This round, we must let them see who is the real absolute main force - Ouyang Yun, the person of Zhina, is the enemy of the empire, from His Majesty the Emperor to every subject, everyone wants to kill him quickly, today, we have a chance to play a role, then, let our name be recited in the hearts of the people forever! ”
"Hello!" The Japanese pilots collectively responded with a bang, and then boarded their respective fighters in turn full of energy.
Kuramura Atsuhime counted the time to appear on the battlefield, and when they saw that the 10th Division had suffered heavy losses in the round of artillery bombardment just now, all the devil pilots became excited as if they had taken stimulants. The Japanese had limited command capabilities in air combat, and when Kuramura Atsuhime's planes gave the order to attack freely, the Japanese planes formed groups of three or five and began to search for the most valuable targets.
When the Japanese aircraft group flew over Jiang Guangnai and Rao Guohua, both of them had a worried face, at this moment, how much they hoped that these devil fighters were here to bomb them, in that case, Ouyang Yun would face much less danger.
"Brothers, run, the air defense of the 10th Division is not as good as ours, we must support them, run, the commander-in-chief is in the 10th Division, we have the obligation to protect him!" Rao Guohua cheered up the soldiers in this way, which made the morale of the soldiers, which had been somewhat depressed due to the previous shelling, quickly recover.
The mobility of the 11th and 12th Divisions increased again, and a quarter of an hour later, the chariot battalions running at the front, they could almost see the mushroom cloud exploding in the distance due to the bombing of the Japanese planes.
On the temporary position of the 10th Division, the sound of anti-aircraft artillery sounded intensively, and a tracer bullet dragged its bright tail into the sky, and then exploded into a cloud of black smoke.
Under Ouyang Yun's personal command, the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade began to release air-proof balloons, and when more than seventy air-proof balloons covered the sky where Ouyang Yun was, some Riji was keenly aware of something and began to rush over desperately.
Liu Yuqing is very opposed to Ouyang Yun's move, he still doesn't know enough about the role of anti-air balloons, and he doesn't know if this kind of thing can work. He felt that Ouyang Yun was not doing this to relieve pressure on him and the officers and soldiers of the Tenth Division, in fact, it made him even more nervous.
The role of the anti-air balloon was quickly highlighted, the first to hit was a Kawasaki 92 ship explosion aircraft, the devil pilot who piloted this fighter plane may be too eager to make meritorious contributions, he keenly discovered the difference of the anti-air balloon position, and then wanted to dive down in this area.
The anti-air balloons of the Cadet Army are made in a variety of strange ways, some are regular round balloons, some are made in the shape of birds, and the funniest thing is a fat doll. It was a doll balloon that was held in place by a wire that cut off the left wing of the Japanese plane, causing the fighter to lose control and spin to the ground.
With a "boom", the fighter exploded on the ground, forming a huge fireball. The wolf-tooth special forces on the balloon air defense position cheered and jumped for joy, and some people shouted even louder: "It's our balloon, see it, our balloon shot down a devil fighter!" ”
On the left side of the balloon air defense position, on a small hill, Ouyang Yun was aiming with a sniper step. The sniper rifle he brought from that time and space has now become the collection of the firearms group of the Cadet Research Institute, and the one in his hand is one of the few Weiqing-style anti-materiel sniper rifles, which was developed at his suggestion.
Ouyang Yun hadn't been on the front line of battle for a long time, which made his physical strength decrease, but fortunately, the foundation was thick enough, so he was still able to handle this anti-equipment sniper step weighing more than thirty catties in his hands.
"Behold, the commander-in-chief is going to hit the plane with a rifle again!" Behind him, someone whispered that this was the guard soldier who followed him in Renqiu, and they were one of the few apprentices who had seen him shoot down the devil's fighter with a rifle.
Can the current Ouyang Yun still create a miracle on the battlefield in Wen'an?
