Chapter 332, the defense of the Jiaodong Peninsula 11.

Bastard, if you want to play fish and die, it's not that easy! Li Jinglin pulled the plane up to an altitude of 7,000 meters, and then quickly pressed the nose of the plane and dived towards the Japanese bomber that had just turned around and was about to climb and hit him! Da-da-da-da! Six machine guns spewed out tongues of fire again, and a string of 12.7mm metal warheads rotating at high speed unreasonably directly pierced the thin metal shell of the Japanese bomber, punching a string of transparent holes! Burst! Burst! Burst!

The four pilots in the Japanese bomber were shot one after another and fell, and all their lives were lost in a moment! Boom, immediately after the fuel tank of the plane was blown up by bullets, the Japanese bomber exploded in an instant and turned into a ball of fire, and all kinds of fragments were shot in all directions! Li Jinglin hurriedly raised the nose of the plane again and quickly avoided the blast wave and debris generated by the explosion of the Japanese bomber! At this time, the other four teammates are fighting against the desperate devil bomber!

"Brothers, don't panic, I'm here!" Li Jinglin hurriedly turned the nose of the plane and flew towards the nearest battlefield. "His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" A Type 96 dive bomber suddenly let out a sharp roar, and while firing fiercely, it crashed head-on into Li Jinglin at an extremely tricky angle! "Team Li, watch the back!"

Pilot Wei Lei's pupils constricted, and his angle just happened to see the diagonally inserted devil dive bomber approaching Li Jinglin who was turning back with extreme speed! "Damn it, these little devils are crazy!"

Li Jinglin's hairs suddenly stood on end, and a heavy sense of crisis hit his whole body, and he hurriedly pulled to the operating lever to climb the maximum elevation angle! "Yaga! Dead, dead, dead! The little devil pilot gritted his teeth and red eyes, and also climbed rapidly, but his performance was far behind the P-51A "Mustang" fighter, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all! 2 seconds later, the little devil plane almost passed by the tail of the sharp plane!

Li Jinglin could completely feel the airflow shock caused by the devil's dive bomber's misalignment, if his hand speed was slowed down by a second, I am afraid that he would have been hit by the devil's plane and turned into a fireball! "Fuck your ancestors! I'm scared to death! Li Jinglin didn't even have time to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, so he pressed the nose of the plane and turned around to chase the devil dive bomber!

The so-called close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, Li Jinglin has been mixed with Jiang Qiang for a long time, and this thing has also become a master who is completely unwilling to suffer, and as soon as he got out of danger, he hurriedly came to an eagle to pounce on the chicken! Da 6 strings of metal storms gushed out, clanging and knocking the devil dive bomber out of countless holes! Burst! Burst!

The two little devil pilots were even beaten into a sieve, and they were killed on the spot without suspense! The devil bomber, which lost control, drew a graceful arc, fell rapidly, and then turned into a fireball of smoke with a loud explosion! "Little devil, die!" After a desperate fight, the other four teammates finally shot down the other three broken devil bombers one after another.

"Haha, good brothers! Return now, this place is not suitable for a long time! Fast! "At this time, the devil bomber group is no longer visible, and more than half of its own ammunition and fuel are consumed, Li Jinglin naturally will not pursue the poor man to the death, and hurriedly ordered the other pilots to retreat!" Okay! It was so much fun today! "Haha! These fighters purchased by our chief of staff are so powerful that hitting a little devil plane is like killing chickens and dogs! ”

Wei Lei and the others roared excitedly a few times, and then turned the nose of the plane and flew in the direction of Gaomi. Buzz, not long after Li Jinglin and the others left, more than 30 devil fighters came over with great momentum, but where is there still the shadow of Huaxia fighters? Knowing that there were a large number of anti-aircraft guns in Gaomi, Zhucheng, Jiaoxian, and Anqiu County, these devil fighters did not dare to pursue in depth, and finally could only return with anger!

In this campaign, the Jiaodong Air Force made its debut, and finally defeated the devil naval aviation unit with a proud record of 0:16! After such a toss, the bomber group of the devil's second fleet no longer dared to attack rashly, for fear that there would be more Huaxia fighters plotting against themselves again! After a bloody battle for more than an hour, the armored tank regiment of the Jiaodong Military Region of the Asian People's Liberation Army led by Jiang Qiang broke through three trenches one after another, and finally rushed to the bottom of the city wall of Juxian!

And the price paid was 2 Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks, 1 German tank No. 4 F2-J, 2 American Sherman M4/76, 4 helicopters, and more than 670 lives! The north of Juxian County has completely turned into a hell on earth, the surface of the ground has been blown into potholes, the ground is scattered with countless stumps, broken arms and flesh and blood, and the blood of the soldiers has stained the land red! The devil's position was blown to pieces, and more than 1,800 devil defenders were either beaten into a sieve by bullets or blown to pieces by artillery, and the three heavily guarded and well-fortified defense lines were smashed little by little under the continuous and powerful firepower of the Asian Liberation Army!

At the same time, the feints in the other three directions also made considerable progress, not only dumbing down the artillery positions in the devil's city, breaking through several passages through the barbed wire fence outside the city, but also breaking through the trenches dug by the Japanese army one after another! "Clear the Bunker! Fire suppression! Follow-up troops keep up! "Crossing the last trench and approaching the Juxian city wall, Jiang Qiang aimed the tank's main gun at a shooting hole on the front city wall that was spewing flames! Immediately after that, there was an explosion, and a big hole was blasted out of the solid city wall, and the little devil who was hiding in it and shooting was sent back to his hometown directly! "Kill!" "If you don't leave any of them, kill them all!"

Tank main guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, rocket launchers, and long and short guns are frantically output, and all officers and soldiers are red-eyed! The stubborn Japanese defenders continued to fall, one by one the firepower points were pulled out one after another, and the ancient city wall of Juxian County, which was riddled with holes, became crumbling! Boom, boom, followed by a burst of artillery, the ancient city wall shattered sideways, and after a violent shaking, there was finally a large-scale collapse, and the broken bricks and soil poured down like a torrent, forming several gentle slopes in an instant! "Brothers, rush!" "Kill!"

Seeing this, the officers and men hiding behind the tanks could no longer bear it, and rushed out in great strides, climbed the collapsed place from the place of collapse in three or two clicks, and quickly launched a fierce battle with the remnants of the enemy above the city wall. "The tank regiment retreated to replenish ammunition, and the follow-up troops pressed into a solid position!" After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the shells carried by the tanks were basically exhausted, and at this time, the city gate was blown up and could not be driven directly into the city, so Jiang Qiang simply asked all the tanks to withdraw to the rear to replenish ammunition! "Hurry up, brothers, now it's our turn!"

When the tank drove up to the side of the transport car and opened the top cover, the officers and men of the baggage logistics regiment began to send shells into the tank! In World War II, most tanks did not have a special refill, so the method of reloading will vary depending on the vehicle itself. For example, on the Tiger tank, some of them use the top of the turret to stuff the inside of the hull when replenishing ammunition, and some will also use the escape door of the turret to replenish the ammunition for convenience.

Of course, it can also be supplemented by opening some hatch covers, such as the driver's compartment in the front of the T34. The M18 "Hellcat", Madel, M36 and other open fighting compartments are very convenient for replenishing shells, while the Su100, Cheetah tank destroyer, No. 3 assault gun, etc. can only be replenished using the top of the hull. "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, no! The North Gate is lost! ”

The commander of the 10th Wing, Chichai Yaezo Daisa, ran into the brigade headquarters in despair, and said with a sad face: "The firepower of the Chinese army is too fierce, we can't withstand it at all!" The entire 9 squadrons of Imperial warriors are all shattered! "Yaga! Why hasn't the Imperial Naval Air Force come yet? Tajima's heart twitched suddenly, his eyes turned black, his body kept trembling, and he almost collapsed to the ground!

Originally, it was thought that relying on the well-constructed fortifications and powerful defensive firepower, as well as the fire support of the Japanese naval aviation, could greatly deplete the vital forces of the Jiaodong Military Region and inflict heavy losses on Jiang Qiang! However, Eijiro Tajima never dreamed that Jiaodong Jiangqiang not only has artillery, tanks, helicopters, but also 5 high-performance fighters, not only has a strong attack ability, but also a strong air defense capability! Within two hours of the official exchange of fire, the total number of Japanese casualties exceeded 2,000, and the position at the north gate of Juxian County was also smashed little by little under the high-intensity and continuous attack, and finally even the city wall was collapsed!

The commander of the 63rd Wing, Furong Zhenhei Dazuo, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, let's break through!" The three-dimensional attack capability of the Huaxia army is too strong, if we continue to hold on, I am afraid that we will be wiped out! "Yaga! There must be no retreat! The only way for us to survive is to hold on to the city and fight in the streets, and the division commander will definitely send reinforcements to rescue us! Now retreating will only die faster! "Tajima Eijiro is very sober, the Asian Liberation Army has helicopters and tanks, if they break away from the city and fortifications, it will be a group of live targets, and they will have to send as many as they want!

After relieving himself, Tajima Eijiro immediately ordered: "Order the troops, immediately seize the commanding heights in the city, and assume that the side firepower, even if the jade is burned, will make Huaxia pay a heavy price!" After the Tianjin Street Battle, Dezhou Street Battle and other battles, the Japanese army gradually began to pay attention to the theoretical study of street fighting, and all high-level generals have received relevant information, and Tajima Eijiro is naturally no exception! Therefore, at this time, the only way Tajima Eijiro can think of is to fight house by house street with the Jiaodong Military Region of the Asian People's Liberation Army, and strive to hold out until the reinforcements arrive!

"Haha, brothers! The north gate has been breached by the division, which ordered us to suspend the attack and wait for the tank regiment to come to fire support! "The other three directions were originally just containment, Jiang Qiang didn't plan to let his subordinates use flesh and blood to capture the city gate, once the north gate was broken, he could naturally divide more than half of the tanks to support the other three directions! Because it is about to enter the city to fight street battles, if there are more tanks in one place, they will not be able to spread the formation, and they will not be able to give full play to their firepower advantages.

"The notice went down, and the engineering troops immediately cleared the city gates, and the attacking troops prepared to enter the city to fight street battles! The little devil will definitely not sit still, and the next time is the real test for us! "After a short replenishment of ammunition and fuel, the 24 tanks were once again re-effective, and although each tank had numerous craters, its combat performance was basically intact and it was ready to continue fighting.

After the engineer regiment received the order, two excavators quickly entered the site, and more than a dozen sappers followed behind with sapper picks and shovels. And the Spitfire squadron and bazooka fighters of the follow-up troops are also ready for battle one after another, just waiting to dig through the city gate and drive the tanks into the city!

In addition, 3,000 officers and men of the Special Operations Brigade and 4,000 officers and men of the Second Brigade quietly set off to Yishui County as early as three hours ago and set up an ambush position on the main road to prevent Japanese reinforcements from coming to the rescue of the Japanese army in Juxian! The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, since he decided to give the little devil a color, Jiang Qiang naturally has to make a comprehensive plan and never allow accidents to occur!

However, before launching the retaliatory counterattack, Jiang Qiang did not inform the Fifth Theater Commander's Headquarters, because he knew that he could not count on the friendly troops of the Fifth Theater, although the national war of resistance was a game of chess, but in fact, many times they had to fight separately! Therefore, the Asian People's Liberation Army fought fiercely for a morning, and the news reached Pang Bingxun's department stationed in Linyi County.

"What? Jiang Qiang's department is attacking the devils in Ju County? Hasn't he been able to shrink back all the time? Could it be that he was hurt and anxious by the little devil, and wanted to come out to find a soft persimmon to spread his anger? The devils in Juxian County are not easy to mess with? After receiving the news, Pang Bingxun was very surprised: Jiang Qiang dared to take the initiative to attack a war of annihilation while facing a frontal attack by tens of thousands of devils!

However, Pang Bingxun didn't think of going over to help encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Juxian County, but he was a little gloating, because not long ago, when the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army conquered Juxian and pressed Linyi, he asked Yang Fan to send troops to help, but he was categorically refused! Pang Bingxun has been on the battlefield for a long time, is Feng Yuxiang's old department, and is known for being good at preserving strength among the Kuomintang miscellaneous troops, so he is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Pang Bingxun was the commander of the lieutenant general corps, with five infantry regiments under his command, and his real strength was less than one army. Originally, Pang Bingxun was a little dissatisfied with being included in the Fifth War Zone sequence. In terms of age and qualifications, he is stronger than Li Zongren, but now he has to be commanded by his juniors, and he doesn't feel good in his heart. But Li Zongren is very good at being a person, not only took the initiative to lower his posture and talk earnestly, but also took the initiative to help solve difficulties, dredge up and not compress Pang Bingxun's spy group, and also replenished a large number of weapons and equipment for Pang Bingxun's army.

After this series of operations, Pang Bingxun was grateful to Li Zongren and said that he would resolutely implement Li Zongren's command and arrangement! A few days ago, when he learned that Juxian County was invaded by the Japanese army, Pang Bingxun ordered Zhu Jialin, the commander of the 115th Brigade, to lead two regiments to reinforce it, but in the end it was a slow step and turned into an encounter and a tough battle. After a day of bloody fighting, the 115th Brigade suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw from Juxian, but the Japanese army followed and pursued, successively conquered the area of Xiazhuang and Xianggongzhuang, and retreated until the south bank of the Shu River to form a confrontation situation!

In the next few days, the devils have been making a posture of gathering heavy troops to force the Shu River south to attack Linyi, and Pang Bingxun's troops once felt great pressure! Pang Bingxun originally wanted to use Jiang Qiang's troops to contain and assist, but Jiang Qiang categorically refused to send troops for many reasons. Pang Bingxun didn't plan to send troops to Ju County, but he quickly reported the news to Li Zongren, because he knew that this was not a trivial matter, and it might have a great impact on the strategy of the entire Fifth War Zone!

"What? The Jiaodong Military Region of the Asian People's Liberation Army is attacking Ju County? What does Jiang Qiang want to do? Isn't he supposed to defend against the Japanese attack with all his might now? How so? After receiving the news, Li Zongren was very surprised, these days in Japan

He has been following the Voice of the Battlefield programs of Radio HK and Gaomi Radio all along! Even if he did not come to the battlefield in person and did not receive Jiang Qiang's battle damage report, Li Zongren could clearly feel that Jiang Qiang's Jiaodong Military Region had encountered unprecedented pressure and casualties!

Therefore, Li Zongren believes that Jiang Qiang's best choice is to shrink his defense and rely on fortifications and city defenses to conduct a war of attrition, rather than taking the initiative to attack! "It seems that we still underestimate Jiang Qiang! I thought that he was already in danger, but I didn't expect that this was just an appearance, Jiang Qiang still had the strength to surround and annihilate the Japanese brigade that was holding the city? Xu Zuyi's eyes were deep, and he said thoughtfully. What? ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, Li Zongren took a breath of cool air, and only then did he react, according to Jiang Qiang's consistent temperament and style, he is definitely not a reckless person! On the contrary, he is a tactical master who does not get up early, is good at seizing fighters, and uses troops accurately! After relieving himself, Li Zongren's face suddenly became ruddy, and he nodded excitedly: "Brother Yan Mou can see it thoroughly!" Haha, if that's the case, that's great! Xu Zuyi nodded and said, "This is indeed great news!" In this way, most of the pressure on our north can be alleviated, and it would be even better if the Third Army could regroup and defend the first line of Jinxiang, Yutai, Shanxian, Caoxian, and Dingtao after the training! "Yes, indeed!"

Li Zongren nodded, the Japanese army in the south was suppressed in the south of the Huai River to form a confrontation, if the north Jiang Qiang can stand, then he can concentrate his forces against the Japanese Central China Front in the south! Unless the Japanese army continues to increase its strength, there will not be much change in a short period of time, and the task of holding Xuzhou for three months will naturally become very easy! After a pause, Li Zongren looked at Xu Zuyi and said: "As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow!" Although Jiang Qiang did not ask us for support and cooperation, we still have to have the posture we should do! ”

"That's right! According to various intelligence feedback, Jiang Qiang is a man of temperament, and he has always eaten soft rather than hard! Xu Zuyi nodded approvingly, and then said with a smile: "Pang Bingxun is probably still angry that Jiang Qiang will not be saved, and mobilizing his troops to support will only backfire!" It's better to let Zhang Zizhong lead his troops to rush to the aid of Ju County, he once said that he had some friendship with Jiang Qiang! "Well, that's how it was arranged!"

Li Zongren smiled slightly, and then suddenly thought of another thing and said, "Brother Yan Mou, where did you say Gu Liangmin's 22nd Division is going now?" Xu Zuyi raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically: "Brother Delin, do you think they are on their way to the Jiaodong Peninsula?" "Haha, the parents of the one who gave birth to me, and the brother Yan Mou who knows me!"

Li Zongren laughed three times, stood up and looked at the north, and said in a deep voice: "Gu Liangmin will never surrender to the Japanese, and most of Shandong has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and there is only one way for him to take away the troops to gain a foothold, and that is to defect to Jiang Qiang!" And in this world, only Jiang Qiang has the ability and courage to forcibly occupy several county towns under the nose of devils to create an anti-Japanese frontline base! "As Li Zongren speculated, Gu Liangmin happened to pass through Teng County, where Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army was stationed, and entered the territory of Fei County!

The passage of 10,000 or thousands of troops naturally could not hide the eyes and ears of the 59th Army, and the 22nd Division and the 38th Division even formed a confrontation for a time! The news of the 22nd Division's transit soon reached Zhang Zizhong, and Zhang Zizhong rushed to the scene to find out on the spot! After Gu Liangmin's negotiation and explanation, Zhang Zizhong finally chose to turn a blind eye, firstly because he and Jiang Qiang did have a personal relationship, and secondly, because of the sympathy for the same disease, Zhang Zizhong saw the 29th Army that had become history!

Under the usual operation of the chairman, if the local miscellaneous army does not have a stable position, it will have to be eaten up and wiped out sooner or later! For example, after the 29th Army lost its territory, it served as a beggar army for a period of time, and later finally entered the narrow and sparsely populated Chahar Province, and had to endure humiliation and bear the burden of long-term struggle and maneuver with the Japanese devils! After the loss of Pingjin, the 29th Army was ostensibly expanded into the First Group Army, but in fact it was broken and divided by each other, and it was no longer the local army that was relatively independent in charge of the party before!

In fact, these are not the point, the most important thing is that Gu Liangmin dares to openly disobey the order to pull away the troops, it is not Zhang Zizhong who can force him to stay! What's more, Gu Liangmin has the strong Jiaodong Military Region of the Asian People's Liberation Army behind him, which is a tiger and wolf division of two A divisions of the Japanese army! Therefore, instead of being thankless and evildoer, it is really better to be a favor, Zhang Zizhong can't get along with himself at all!

"What? Jiang Qiang is besieging and annihilating the devil brigade in Ju County? Haha, it just so happened that someone immediately caught up with Commander Gu and asked him to wait for us! "As soon as Gu Liangmin was sent away on the front foot, Zhang Zizhong received a telegram from the Fifth Theater Commander's Headquarters! On the morning of January 23, the Nationalist Government ordered the dismissal of Han Fuyu from all posts and appointed Shen Honglie as governor of the Shandong Provincial Government, and Han Fuyu's post of commander-in-chief of the Third Army was succeeded by Sun Tongxuan, commander of the 12th Army. Subsequently, He Yingqin, Lu Zhonglin, and He Chengrong were appointed as judges, and Xu Yejin and Jia Huanchen were appointed as military judges, and the Supreme Military Tribunal was formed, with Lu Zhonglin as the president of the court to try Han Fuyu. Soon after, according to the court gazette, the Wuhan newspaper reported the news of Han Fuyu's trial in a grand manner. But at this time, Han Fuyu didn't know anything, because he didn't appear in court, and no one asked him to appear in court.

In the end, after research, the court came to a trial in absentia, and convicted Han Fuyu of ten crimes and sentenced him to death.

The ten major crimes are: 1. Disobeying orders and retreating without authorization; 2. Stand still and support the troops for self-protection; 3. Collusion with Japanese criminals and conspiracy for independence; 4. Confiscation of civilian guns; 5. Arson and mishap; 6. Distribution of opium; 7. Undermining the independence of the judiciary; 8. Arbitrarily collecting and withholding state taxes and undermining the tax system; 9. Embezzlement of national defense funds; 10. Disrupting finance. In this way, Boss Han's life has officially entered the countdown state!

The north gate of Juxian County! It took nearly half an hour for the engineer regiment to fill in a few trenches and dig through the collapsed city gates! "Launch a general attack now!" Jiang Qiang did not drag mud and water, relying on the rough skin and thick flesh of the tank under the seat, he once again rushed to the forefront, and more than 40 infantry of the special operations brigade followed closely behind to be responsible for protection and coordinated operations!

Five other tanks followed, each followed by dozens of infantrymen, including 30 Pyros and 50 Bazookas! "Shoot! Tao times change! "Battle defense artillery! Shoot! "The tank advanced a short distance along the main street, and the devils in ambush on both sides gritted their teeth and began to fire wildly, shells, grenades, light and heavy machine guns, and 38 big covers all came into play!

Clanging, shells and bullets hit the thick metal armor like a storm, clanging, and countless fires kept flashing! Fortunately, the little devil lacks anti-heavy tank weapons, and he is full of momentum, but there is really no way to penetrate the frontal armor of the Tiger tank, you must know that it is specially designed for German heavy Tiger tanks! The thick skin of the tank was unstoppable, but the soldiers behind were not so lucky, under the ubiquitous side-fire fire, many infantry fell in a pool of blood before they could find the target! But fortunately, there is tank cover and rich experience in street fighting, and the casualty rate is within a manageable range! "Kill!" "Fire!" Jiang Qiang and the others naturally would not be beaten passively, and quickly organized a fierce counterattack, and the fierce street battle in Juxian County has officially begun!
