The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand
Chapter 201 Unexpected Help
Chen Sichuan and Liu Laopao were seeing soldiers charging like this for the first time.
These soldiers rushing up weren't so much soldiers as they were a group of wounded men.
At a glance, every soldier was wrapped in bandages, many with slings.
This group of Japanese devils' charge looked more like a family fleeing from disaster.
If it weren't for the rifles on their backs! It would have been a complete escape.
There were quite a few soldiers in this Japanese squad, but they still supported each other as they charged forward.
Some soldiers with leg injuries helped those with less severe leg injuries, all rushing towards Xiejiatang.
The soldiers of the First and Second Platoons showed no mercy to this squad consisting almost entirely of wounded men.
Uchiyamada Yu, the company commander, led more than a thousand Japanese soldiers stationed in Shangzhuang to rush to support, only to find that the entire Xiejiatang had already been occupied by the National Army.
These National Army soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield.
Without hesitation, and with no other choice, Company Commander Uchiyamada Yu immediately ordered: "Charge! Take back the position."
The entire company commander Uchiyamada Yu, leading a thousand wounded soldiers and fifty-three intact soldiers, immediately launched a charge.
In their squad, there were a thousand slightly wounded soldiers. These wounded soldiers couldn't shoot while charging.
These wounded soldiers couldn't even hold their rifles in front of them while charging.
And it wasn't just a few slightly wounded soldiers who couldn't do this; it was the vast majority of the wounded soldiers who couldn't.
Because these people, whether they had injuries on their hands, feet, or chests, couldn't hold their rifles up to charge.
They originally thought it would be a battle of attrition, lying prone in the trenches, where these wounded soldiers weren't much different from ordinary soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness.
But now!
When they charged like this, they needed to support each other to increase their overall speed.
Trying to maintain combat effectiveness with this kind of charging method was definitely impossible.
In front of the soldiers of the First and Second Platoons, it was no different from delivering food.
Deeply influenced by Lin Fan, the soldiers of the Special Company never held back or showed any mercy to the Japanese devils.
Liu Laopao commanded the Second Platoon's heavy and light machine guns to fire, and in this situation, the firepower of these machine guns played a huge role.
While commanding the squad to fight, he asked Chen Sichuan again: "Is it that the Japanese devils don't want to treat these wounded soldiers, and deliberately sent them up to waste our ammunition?"
Chen Sichuan almost stumbled: "Brother Liu! Are you here to be funny? The ammunition left behind by the Japanese devils after they die is more than what we consume.
Wounded soldiers are all veterans who have been on the battlefield; after they are healed and return to the battlefield, their combat effectiveness is much stronger than those who have just been on the battlefield."
"You say they're treasures, then why did they send these treasures up to die?" Liu Laopao asked humbly.
"You ask me, how would I know? Maybe there are many good things in the town of Jurong ahead, and now their forces are insufficient, so they sent out the wounded soldiers," Chen Sichuan said casually.
The more he thought about it, the more correct it seemed, and he immediately sent someone to send the situation at the front to Lin Fan.
Chen Sichuan said to Liu Laopao: "Brother Liu! Keep up the good work, it is estimated that Jurong has good things, and their people have all run to Nanjing City.
It's empty here, so they can only send these wounded soldiers to stop us.
We can't be fooled!"
"Right! Right! Leave this to your brother, and you take the men and just charge forward."
Chen Sichuan immediately ordered: "First Platoon! Follow the tanks and charge forward, directly to Jurong.
Leave this place to the Second Platoon."
The tanks started and continued to charge forward along the road.
Infantry followed!
Having received Chen Sichuan's report.
Lin Fan knew clearly in his heart: the Japanese devils had the Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters in Tangshan; it seemed that they had retreated to Jurong.
He was also a little puzzled: Jurong was a place that the Japanese devils' headquarters could have easily passed through to Nanjing along another road.
Could it be that the Japanese devils' Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters was still in Jurong?
Were they so concerned about face?
Still thinking about getting face back from him?
This time, Lin Fan really guessed correctly: Prince Asaka Yasuhiko thought so.
Commander Asaka Yasuhiko: as the King's uncle, I must have this face.
He was calmly waiting in the town of Jurong for good news of victory from the front.
At the same time, the staff in the entire Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters were doing deductions on the map.
The communications battalion was also nervously urging the entire China Expeditionary Army to quickly send troops to protect Commander Asaka Yasuhiko.
At this time, the entire China Expeditionary Army realized that all the squads that had been sent out earlier had failed to achieve their goals.
Several divisions that had already rushed into Nanjing City had all sent out their rapidly mobile cavalry and automobiles.
Now, if they wanted to rescue, they could only send out infantry.
At this time, the infantry that was sent out could come out of Taipingmen, pass through Zijin Mountain, Linggu Temple, Qilinmen to Tangshan, and then to Jurong; this road was closer, a distance of eighty li.
Or they could send a squad out of Tongjimen, past Gaoqiaomen, Chunhua, Suoshe, Tuqiao to Jurong, at least a hundred li.
At such a long distance, by the time the infantry arrived, Commander Asaka Yasuhiko's body would probably be cold.
The senior officers of the entire China Expeditionary Army were all thinking about a question: why couldn't Commander Asaka Yasuhiko actively advance from Jurong along Tuqiao and Suoshe to Nanjing.
Once Commander Asaka Yasuhiko left, it wouldn't matter if those National Army defeated soldiers looted Jurong once.
Commander of the China Expeditionary Army, General Iwane Matsui, personally discussed this problem with Commander Asaka Yasuhiko.
The suggestion to retreat was firmly rejected by Commander Asaka Yasuhiko: an imperial prince cannot retreat when facing the enemy.
No matter what kind of rhetoric was used, it could not change the fact of retreating in the face of the National Army.
Commander Prince Asaka Yasuhiko had already retreated from Tangshan to Jurong, and now that he had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, he was unwilling to retreat again.
Commander Asaka Yasuhiko's unwillingness to retreat caused Lin Fan great distress.
Commander Ye Zhao and Company Commander Li Zhize saw Lin Fan's distress.
Company Commander Li Zhize asked: "Company Commander Lin, if you have any tasks, just assign them; now we are all grasshoppers on the same string, we prosper together, and we lose together!"
Lin Fan said: "The First and Second Platoons, who are clearing the way ahead, have encountered the interception of two battalions of Japanese devils."
Hearing that there were two battalions of Japanese devils intercepting, Commander Ye and Company Commander Li's faces suddenly became heavy.
Lin Fan didn't beat around the bush and continued, "The two battalions of Japanese devils are all wounded soldiers, and they don't have heavy weapons; they are all rifles, and there are few light machine guns.
The first battalion that intercepted has been completely wiped out, and the second battalion is coming to reinforce and is currently engaged in battle.
Platoon Leader Chen Sichuan of the First Platoon put forward an idea: the Japanese devils have something very important in Jurong.
This thing cannot be moved for some reason, so they are organizing the wounded soldiers to fight at such a high cost."
Hearing Lin Fan say this, Commander Ye Zhao and Company Commander Li Zhize's faces suddenly recovered, as if nothing had happened.
Lin Fan continued: "If that's really the case, I'm thinking: should we leave that thing behind?"
"How to leave it behind?" Commander Ye Zhao asked.
"Jurong has three highways; when we came, there was only one, from Tianwangsi to Jurong, which is also the road we are going to take.
One is the road we are currently taking from Tangshan to Jurong, and the other is from Chunhua to Jurong."
As soon as Lin Fan said this, everyone present understood: Lin Fan wanted to cut off the road from Chunhua to Jurong.
Commander Ye Zhao thought for a while: "Jurong used to be Tuqiao Town; if we go across from here, the distance is only five kilometers."
Company Commander Li Zhize thought for a while: "We are a company; we don't know what the situation is ahead, so we can only block it for an hour."
Commander Ye Zhao said: "Your company is all cavalry; five kilometers can be reached in at most ten minutes.
I will send two regiments and they will definitely arrive in an hour."
Lin Fan reminded: "Although all the Japanese devils should have gone to Nanjing City, we must also send a reconnaissance squad to the Tuqiao direction to monitor closely."
"Yes!" Company Commander Li Zhize agreed.
His company had just exchanged all their equipment from the Special Company, and now the firepower of the entire company was even stronger than it was in Nanjing.
In order to support their operation, Lin Fan temporarily equipped the company with five mortars and a thousand shells.
He also sent a twenty-man squad from Xiao Dongbei to act with Company Commander Li.
Lin Fan said to Company Commander Li Zhize: "This squad is going to plant bombs for the Japanese devils, let them blow up a wave first, and kill some of the Japanese devils.
When dealing with the Japanese devils, don't save shells; if it can be solved with shells, don't let the soldiers risk their lives.
These thousand shells, even if they are all used up today, it doesn't matter; don't let the brothers get hurt in order to save shells."
Commander Ye Zhao was also by his side when Lin Fan spoke.
Company Commander Li Zhize said gratefully: "Company Commander Lin is a righteous man. Your little brother will definitely hold the position and not let the Japanese devils pass."
Company Commander Li left with his squad, taking heavy machine guns, mortars, and Type 92 infantry guns on warhorses.
Looking at the equipment of this company, Commander Ye Zhao drooled with envy. He looked at Lin Fan and asked: "My two regiments are going to support, and it wouldn't look good if their equipment is too poor!
Company Commander Lin, look: should we also equip these two regiments?
Brother knows the rules; we'll return the cannons when we part ways."
Lin Fan said with a smile: "Commander Ye, I'm keeping this equipment to use for opening up base areas behind enemy lines; equipping two regiments.
I can't afford it; when we part ways, the light machine guns must also be returned."
The staff around Commander Ye Zhao showed ecstatic expressions in their eyes. They almost pressed Commander Ye's head down and made him agree.
In the eyes of these staff, once the guns are in hand, who cares if you agree or not, let's go, are we afraid of fighting?
Commander Ye Zhao thought for a while: "All the loot from our blocking of the Japanese devils will belong to the Sixty-sixth Army."
Lin Fan said with a smile: "Half and half! If there are any rifles or bullets that you don't need, you can discount them to offset those machine guns and cannons."
"Even cannons can be offset?" Commander Ye asked in ecstasy.
"We're doing business! As long as it's good stuff, anything can be offset," Lin Fan still said with a smile.
"I want to arm four regiments; my troops only started in Nanjing, and then received the order to retreat.
Now I'm going to make a big gamble.
Company Commander Lin! A word of honor!"
"A promise is a promise!" Lin Fan replied.
Commander Ye Zhao was secretly happy in his heart: "This Special Company has strong combat effectiveness and heavy artillery, and most importantly, they are not afraid of air raids.
In this situation, if we can have a good fight with the Japanese devils, maybe the weapons and equipment we seize can offset the equipment we took from the Special Company today."
Lin Fan was also happy: "First, we distributed the weapons on the cars, and second, we armed a squad that is willing to fight hard against the Japanese devils.
This is the most important thing."
A win-win situation!
Lin Fan silently drew a red heart for himself in his heart and gave a thumbs up.
The equipment of the Special Company was clearly packed in the cars, and Commander Ye Zhao personally supervised the re-equipping of his regiment.
The first regiment to be re-equipped was Liu Yong's regiment, which had more than 1,700 men and had always been the main regiment of the Sixty-sixth Army.
Now Lin Fan equipped each squad of this regiment with a light machine gun and each squad with a grenade launcher.
Each company was equipped with two heavy machine guns, each battalion with three mortars, and each regiment with two Type 92 infantry guns.
He also specially equipped each company with ten mules and horses to transport heavy machine guns and ammunition.
Each battalion added twenty, and each regiment added thirty more.
Commander Ye Zhao was very satisfied with this equipment.
He said to Lin Fan, "Company Commander Lin, you are the most generous person I have ever met."
Lin Fan said with a smile: "As long as they are squads that are truly fighting against the Japanese devils, they are one family; it is just right to use weapons and equipment for our own family."
Liu Yong's regiment set off after receiving their equipment. With a five-kilometer road, the squad could reach it in half an hour with a forced march.
Having sent a regiment to meet them first, both Commander Ye Zhao and Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
There were still three regiments to be equipped.
The meaning of Commander Ye Zhao and Lin Fan was to leave two well-equipped regiments as reserves, and these two regiments would be stationed in a place called Xiaocun in front.
It was within two kilometers of the several preset positions, and they could quickly arrive no matter which direction needed reinforcements.
Now the Ninth Platoon of the Special Company has begun to build artillery positions again five kilometers away from Jurong.
As soon as the construction of the heavy artillery position began, the observation balloon was immediately raised. This time, the Special Company also raised the observation balloon to a height of five hundred meters.
And in order to be conspicuous, Lin Fan also specially wrote the words "Sixty-sixth Army in Jurong" in large characters on the balloon.
He wrote these words in several directions in order to attract the Eighty-sixth Army.
Until now, the Eighty-third Army, which originally left Taipingmen with the Sixty-sixth Army and retreated towards Tangshan, had not been seen.
Not only Lin Fan wanted to pull this army over, but Commander Ye Zhao was even more anxious than him.
He saw the Special Company raise a balloon, and the words written on the balloon were taller than people.
He nodded repeatedly: "This is good! This is good!"
Especially since it was written with the name of the Sixty-sixth Army, it made his face look good.
Excited, Commander Ye Zhao said to Lin Fan: "Brother Lin! If we can break through successfully this time, I will thank you on behalf of tens of thousands of brothers in the entire Sixty-sixth Army."
Lin Fan said with a smile: "As long as Commander Ye can continue to insist on fighting the Japanese devils, that is the best gratitude to the country."
Ye Zhao thought for a while, and finally said: "Company Commander Lin! I, Ye, and the Guangdong Army have no problems with resisting the war.
But the ideology of your company cannot be promoted in my squad!
A loyal minister does not serve two masters, please forgive me, Company Commander Lin!"
Lin Fan said with a smile: "The ancients said: Brothers quarrel at the wall, but defend against external insults!
Our ideologies are different, it is a dispute between brothers. After we drive the Japanese devils out, let's discuss our respective ideologies.
Now even President Chiang is uniting all forces that can be united to resist the war, so why should Commander Ye be entangled in this point."
Commander Ye Zhao said admiringly: "Company Commander Lin is tough! As long as the Japanese devils don't lay down their arms for a day, I won't attack you for a day.
In the future, if our two families fight, I also promise to say it clearly in advance.
Even if Brother Lin falls into my hands, or in the hands of my colleagues, I will definitely protect your life."
Lin Fan said with a smile: "Commander Ye has a good spirit! If that's the case, your little brother can't guarantee it!"
"I know! My hands are stained with blood, I dare not ask for it!
But this does not affect my promise to Brother Lin!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.
The balloon rose to a height of five hundred meters in the air, and could be seen from a long distance.
In this kind of weather, it was very eye-catching for such a balloon to suddenly appear in the sky.
Jing Jiande was originally a company commander under the 305th Regiment of the 51st Division of the 74th Army, under Wang Yaowu.
His company was broken up during the defense battle of Chunhua, and he had been wandering around the Tianbao Mountain and Dajiang Mountain area these days.
These days, Company Commander Jing Jiande had not thought about rushing into Nanjing City to join the main force.
But they only discovered when his company was retreating after performing a sniper mission, that the entire Nanjing City had been completely surrounded by the Japanese devils.
Company Commander Jing Jiande also tried to lead his squad through the highway from Chunhua to Nanjing, and retreat towards Wuhu.
But there were always Japanese devil squads passing by on this road, and his company had been trapped in the suburbs outside Nanjing City these days.
The 74th Army retreated from the Battle of Songhu. They did not have time to rest, and were hurriedly supplemented with 5,000 untrained recruits, and were sent to Chunhua to defend.
Chunhua was a flat area with no danger to defend.
Fortunately, there were still some national defense works and bunkers that could be used as strongholds.
The initial battle with the Japanese devils was on December 6th: at that time, the 301st Regiment of the 51st Division defended Chunhua Town, and the 302nd Regiment was stationed on Taohua Mountain on the south side of Chunhua Town.
The 306th Regiment was in Huatang Village, and the 305th Regiment was waiting in Gaoqiaomen.
At this time, the 305th Regiment where Company Commander Jing Jiande was, was still waiting in Gaoqiaomen. As the reserve force of the entire division, they did not realize that the battle would come so quickly.
According to the experience of the 51st Division on the Songhu battlefield, they could defend this place in Chunhua for at least half a month, or even a month.
Because they had persisted from August to November on the Songhu battlefield.
The 51st Division wanted to understand the Japanese devils.
It was just that this time Commander Wang Yaowu misjudged the strength of the opponent.
He only calculated that the two sides had confronted each other for three months during the Songhu battlefield.
But he did not expect that after retreating from Shanghai to Nanjing, the morale of the 51st Division was no longer what it was in Shanghai.
More importantly, the soldiers of the 51st Division were not all well-trained elites.
And the Japanese devils were no longer the Japanese devils they used to be.
Now the 9th Division of the Japanese devils who came to attack had won all the battles during this period, and the morale of the Japanese devils of the entire China Expeditionary Army was many times higher than it was in Shanghai.
And these Japanese devils were getting more and more experienced in fighting the National Army.
The 9th Division of the 10th Army of the Japanese devils came up and used heavy artillery to bomb the national defense works of Chunhua. They did not stop at all.
The 240mm heavy artillery, with 300-jin shells, slammed into the defense line of the national defense works, and these works could not resist it at all.
At the same time, airplanes were also dispatched in the air to use heavy-duty aerial bombs to bomb national defense works and bunkers.
The Japanese devils had gained a lot of experience from attacking the two national defense lines of Wufu Line and Xicheng Line.
Now they were more than capable of dealing with the national defense works of Chunhua Town.
As soon as the battle started, the 51st Division suffered a lot.
The original national defense works and bunkers they relied on had completely become the graves of soldiers!
Faced with the pinpoint clearing of the Japanese devils' heavy artillery and heavy aerial bombs, these works could not withstand it and were blown up by the Japanese devils.
Faced with this situation, Commander Wang Yaowu had no choice but to immediately let the soldiers come out of the works and fight the Japanese devils on the plains.
At the same time, the 305th Regiment where Jing Jiande was, immediately set off from Gaoqiaomen and entered the position.
The 306th Regiment also immediately joined the battle, and the entire 51st Division entered the position on the first day the Japanese devils began to attack.
The 301st Regiment defended Chunhua Town and fought to the death, dragging on for a whole day. Regiment Commander Ji Hongru was seriously injured. Of the ten company commanders in the regiment, nine were killed or wounded, and more than 1,400 soldiers were killed or wounded.
The entire 301st Regiment completely lost its combat effectiveness and was still defending Chunhua Town.
At the same time, the 302nd Regiment was not much better than the 301st Regiment. The 9th Division of the Japanese devils could not take Chunhua, so they wanted to detour and outflank from the south.
They fought fiercely with the 302nd Regiment on Taohua Mountain, and the entire battle was equally fierce.
On December 7th, the Japanese army occupied Tangshan and detoured to attack Jiangning Town. In this situation, when the 51st Division was in danger of being surrounded by the Japanese devils,
They were ordered to retreat.
The 305th Regiment where Company Commander Jing Jiande was, was left to cover the retreat of the two divisions.
Regiment Commander Zhang Lingfu of the 305th Regiment led the entire regiment. After the main force retreated,
They defended Shangfang Town for a day and a night.
Company Commander Jing Jiande's squad held off the Japanese devils at Damofen on the east side of Shangfang Town. After Regiment Commander Zhang Lingfu personally led a suicide squad to charge and was injured,
He led the main force of the entire regiment to retreat, and Company Commander Jing Jiande was ordered to cover the entire regiment.
After nightfall, the road to Nanjing had been occupied by the Japanese devils. Company Commander Jing Jiande could only lead the entire company to transfer to Dajiang Mountain and Zhushan.
They had been wandering in this area for three days since the 10th.
Tong Haoyan was just an ordinary soldier in his company. When everyone was hiding in Tangwang Mountain to rest in the afternoon,
He suddenly pointed to the observation balloon in the distance and shouted: "Look! The Japanese devils' balloon!"
All the soldiers of the entire company looked towards the balloon in the distance.
Company Commander Jing Jiande had no idea which direction they were going. They still thought the balloon direction was Nanjing City.
Zhang Lingfu specially left his telescope for Company Commander Jing Jiande when he retreated.
He took out the telescope and looked at the balloon: "The Sixty-sixth Army is in Jurong!"
Company Commander Jing Jiande read out in disbelief.
He could not believe his eyes. He put down the telescope and raised it again to look at it. It was still the same as before: "The Sixty-sixth Army is in Jurong."
This time he looked more carefully: the soldiers in the hanging basket under the balloon were actually National Army soldiers.
"That's our squad!" Company Commander Jing Jiande became happy.
"Could it be a trap!" a soldier asked.
"We can't worry about that much. Maybe our squad has counterattacked and recovered Jurong.
Wasn't the fighting in Tangshan very lively this morning?
President Chiang must have sent a large army over," Company Commander Jing Jiande said excitedly.
"Head towards the balloon direction!"
With the balloon high above, these lost soldiers were like a lighthouse in the sea.
They walked towards the heavy artillery position of the Special Company.
Company Commander Jing Jiande was not the only small squad that found the lighthouse.
Platoon Leader Shi Lezhi was also a platoon leader of the 58th Division of the 74th Army. They were also separated when the main force retreated.
Only nine people were left in his platoon. They had heard the sound of artillery and gunfire when the Special Company fought the Japanese devils just now.
But these soldiers thought that it was the same as them, the remnants of the National Army being discovered by the Japanese devils.
They did not dare to go over during the fierce battle between the two sides, but ran quickly in the opposite direction.
When they saw an observation balloon rising into the sky,
Platoon Leader Shi Lezhi also saw the words written on the balloon: "The Sixty-sixth Army is in Jurong!"
He immediately had an idea in his heart: an army in Jurong, this must be the main force.
So their nine-man squad also rushed towards the balloon direction.
There were more than a dozen such small squads. These squads had as many as fifty people, and as few as three or five.
The 83rd Army, which was marching between Paotai Mountain and Tuanshan, also found the observation balloon.
Deng Longguang, commander of the 83rd Army, looked at the big characters on the observation balloon. Although he did not understand how the Sixty-sixth Army had captured Jurong so quickly after separating last night,
But he still decided to advance the entire army towards Jurong!
There were also many stragglers who could not get out of Tangshan. They saw the words "Sixty-sixth Army in Jurong".
They also walked towards the observation balloon.
The Sixty-sixth Army had four regiments that had changed equipment, and there were four others that had not been equipped. They were now arranged around the heavy artillery regiment for protection.
The farthest defense line was one kilometer away from the heavy artillery position.
Platoon Leader Shi Lezhi's nine-man squad was the closest to the defense line.
Defending in this direction was the Jiliqiang Regiment of the 159th Division of the Sixty-sixth Army.
Platoon Leader Shi Lezhi saw National Army soldiers digging trenches from a distance.
All nine of them became excited, and finally stood up straight and swaggered towards the National Army defense line on the opposite side.
Company Commander Yuan Xiuzhen was supervising his soldiers to dig trenches. At this time, he discovered several National Army soldiers walking out 400 meters away.
Judging from the fact that they took the initiative to come out and did not hide their bodies at all, these people should be lost National Army soldiers.
No matter what soldiers they were, Company Commander Yuan Xiuzhen did not dare to be careless.
He immediately sent a squad of soldiers to ask.
Platoon Leader Shi Lezhi heard the other party's accent, and was immediately happy: the Japanese devils could never speak this accent.
Although he could not understand it very well, it did not matter: as long as it was the National Army.
Squad Leader Geng Hongyi's Cantonese made it difficult for Platoon Leader Shi Lezhi to understand.
However, Squad Leader Geng also discovered that these soldiers were exhausted, and understood that they had not been able to get out for these days and were trapped.
He did not make things difficult for them, but just asked Platoon Leader Shi and the others to hand over their weapons.
Platoon Leader Shi was also straightforward and immediately handed over his weapons.
Suddenly both sides were relieved.
Company Commander Yuan's Mandarin was more standard: Platoon Leader Shi finally understood that the Sixty-sixth Army was indeed here.
However, this place was now under the command of the Special Company.
These lost soldiers also had to report to the reception point specially set up by the Special Company.
Company Commander Yuan sent Squad Leader Geng Hongyi and his soldiers to take Platoon Leader Shi and his group over.
Platoon Leader Shi and the others continued to walk forward for one kilometer. Although Squad Leader Geng Hongyi deliberately took them to avoid the heavy artillery position,
But Platoon Leader Shi and the others still saw the edge of the heavy artillery position. He pointed to the position and asked in surprise: "Squad Leader Geng! Is that our heavy artillery position?"
Squad Leader Geng Hongyi said unhappily: "I didn't want you to see it,
Since you have seen it, don't spread it out.
Yes! That is our heavy artillery position. We not only have heavy artillery, but also anti-aircraft guns.
We shot down more than a hundred Japanese devil airplanes in Tangshan this morning.
Didn't you notice?
There were no airplanes passing by in the sky today."
As soon as he finished speaking, five airplanes flew over from the north.
Looking at the expressions of Platoon Leader Shi and his group of nine, Squad Leader Geng Hongyi gently patted his face:
"Speak of the devil! The devil arrives! I have nowhere to put my face."
Platoon Leader Shi smoothed things over: "This is the first batch of airplanes to appear in the sky this afternoon."
Squad Leader Geng Hongyi said with a smile: "You wait and see, these airplanes will definitely be shot down."
Lin Fan was discussing with Commander Ye Zhao how to proceed when he heard the familiar roar of the engine in the air.
He immediately looked in the direction of the sound. The airplanes were still far away.
"Five airplanes!" Commander Ye Zhao said.
Just a few meters away, all the anti-aircraft guns of the Special Company turned towards the direction the airplanes were coming from.
Lin Fan ran to the front of the anti-aircraft guns in a few steps, adjusted the anti-aircraft guns, and prepared to shoot down the airplanes.
At this time, Commander Ye Zhao reminded: "Wait! These airplanes don't look like the Japanese devils', but they look like our airplanes."
"Our airplanes?" Lin Fan asked.
"These are airplanes aided by the Soviet Union, including the pilots who are all Soviets."
Lin Fan also saw the Kuomintang emblem on the wings of the airplanes from the telescope.
He immediately ordered: "Monitor closely, postpone shooting!"
After Chiang Kai-shek finished venting his anger this morning, he was still worried about the situation in Nanjing. He wanted to know the most real situation in Nanjing.
So he sent out the strongest flying squad to reconnaissance Nanjing.
The squad flying over Jurong now was this squad.
The entire air group was all fighter jets. Their mission was to go to Nanjing and the surrounding area to check the situation, and there was no combat mission.
The entire fighter jet came out to prevent them from being able to fight and retreat in case they encountered Japanese devil airplanes.
Captain Andrei suddenly shouted in surprise in the headset: "Dear Yevgeny, look at what's in front!"
Captain Andrei did not know Chinese, nor did he know Chinese characters, but Yevgeny was a Chinese scholar.
Yevgeny was flying in the back. He immediately operated the airplane to accelerate and rushed to the front of the captain. He immediately saw clearly the words written on the balloon in the air: "The Sixty-sixth Army is in Jurong."
Yevgeny said in Russian: "Oh! God! What am I seeing? There is the 66th Army of the National Army, saying that they are in Jurong Town.
What happened here? Didn't Nanjing City fall, and all the National Army defeated, completely becoming a mess?"
"Oh! God! What happened here?" Captain Andrei said.
"Be careful, Grigory, fly lower and see what kind of squad is below."
Grigory agreed and immediately began to dive. Lin Fan's anti-aircraft guns had been following this diving airplane. If he dared to fire, Lin Fan would fire immediately.
Grigory slowed down and flew to a height of only 30 meters from the ground. At this time, he could clearly see the soldiers on the ground.
He immediately recognized the clothes on these soldiers: "They are National Army soldiers, many National Army soldiers.
Oh! God! They also have heavy artillery!
This squad is still fighting! They are still fighting here."
Grigory was flying to Zhangjiazhuang at this time. He saw Chen Sichuan and the others attacking the Japanese devils' position.
"I want to help them once!" Grigory said loudly.
There were four machine guns under his airplane, and all four machine guns fired at the same time after flying close to the Japanese devils' position.
The soldiers of the First Platoon, such as Hua Deze, Chen Xing, Zhao Long, and Lang Ziji, became happy: "After fighting so many battles, this is the first time our own air force has come to help."
Chen Sichuan was originally puzzled by the airplane that suddenly appeared behind him: why wasn't this airplane shot down?
It was not until the airplane began to strafe the Japanese devils that he understood: this was the National Army's airplane.
Captain Andrei ordered: "Everyone, attack freely! Note: only attack in one wave and leave, this place has become the Japanese devils' territory.
Don't be greedy for battle! Don't be greedy for battle!
Return immediately!"
