Chapter 45 The Japanese attack and the collapse of the main force(1/2)
"Kang Ya!"
"Come and help!"
Wang Zhong's roar could still be heard clearly in everyone's ears despite the Japanese bombing.
Upon hearing this, Kang Ya immediately stood up and ran wildly in the direction of Cao Lin in the forest.
Anti-aircraft guns cannot be controlled by one person. Just like machine gunners, they also need a deputy. At this time, Krupp, as the gunner, cannot move lightly, so Kang Ya became the best candidate.
Wang Zhong rushed to the location of the anti-aircraft gun and immediately began to load ammunition. He moved the muzzle of the gun that had been covered up and pointed it at the Japanese aircraft in the sky. But before Cao Lin could take aim, two Japanese fighter jets dropped several bombs.
Dragging a long tail flame, he left without stopping for a moment.
"Damn it!"
Wang Zhong slapped the anti-aircraft gun.
Kang Ya, who had not yet reached Wang Zhong, looked up at the gloomy sky above her head and murmured with emotion: "When did the Japanese planes become so sophisticated?"
Wang Zhong had already gotten off the anti-aircraft gun and was using the branches and leaves he had just thrown aside to prepare to hide the anti-aircraft gun again.
"What are you thinking about? Why don't you come over and help!" Wang Zhong said angrily.
"Oh oh oh~~~ It's coming, it's coming!" Kang Ya hurriedly ran to Wang Zhong and helped Wang Zhong hide the anti-aircraft cannon again.
"What to do now?"
"What to do?"
"Of course I'm going to stay here and wait, what if the little Japanese bomber's plane comes back?" Wang Zhong said angrily, but his eyes kept staring at the horizon where the Japanese bombers had just gone away.
No matter how good his eyesight was, Wang Zhong could not see the Japanese bombers that had long since disappeared into the horizon. The reason why he kept paying attention was just to see if the Japanese bombers would really go and come back.
Kang Ya nodded after hearing this, then found a tree as a cover and hid, raising his head and imitating Wang Zhong, looking at the sky.
On the position below along the river, watching the plane go away, Long Wenwen led the people out of the woods again, entered the less than half-dug defensive position again, set up the machine gun, loaded the bullets, and aimed at the river.
Area.
But after waiting for a long time, no Japanese soldiers were seen coming up from the river. Instead, in the area where the main force of Master Yu was, on the river shrouded in clouds and mist, there seemed to be a faint black shadow looming.
Although the Japanese bombers had gone far away, the sound of artillery fire continued. The shells dragged a long parabola in mid-air, flying from the Nantianmen on the other side to the position where the main force of the Yu Division was located.
On the miles of hillsides along the river, Yu Xiaoqing had already sent people to build extremely solid fortifications, trenches, sandbags, and anti-cannon holes.
The soldiers of the main force ran into the trench shelters as soon as the Japanese artillery shells hit the position.
But there were still some unlucky ones who were covered by Japanese artillery shells, died under the shock wave generated by the shell explosion, and had their bodies torn apart by countless flying shrapnel and pierced their internal organs.
Long Wenwen didn't know that Yu Xiaoqing's headquarters had been accurately hit by Japanese bombers, leaving only a broken wall. All his attention was attracted by the river shrouded in clouds and mist.
Holding a pair of binoculars, I lay on a cliff with an excellent view by the river and scanned the river shrouded in clouds and mist.
Narrator, Meng Fan, who is now the regimental commander's special herald, is explaining the Japanese tactics to the recruits next to him.
"These little devils, after so many years, they still have the same three axes, without any change."
"Before every attack, the artillery will fire a round. As long as the artillery fires, it means that the Japs are about to attack. Their infantry must have been ready on the other side. They have probably reached the river by now.
Heartbroken."
"Since the Japs have been using these three weapons for so many years, why can't we defeat them?" A recruit asked Meng Fangliao to torture his soul.
"Who said we can't defeat them!" Meng Fanlie immediately responded rudely: "Have you forgotten how our Sichuan Army fought back to Zenda from Burma?"
"Although the little devil's three-axe is powerful, we are not vegetarians."
"Why is the little devil's three-blade ax so powerful?" Another recruit asked.
The narrator Bu La added: "Because they can walk steadily with their bow legs!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately burst into laughter.
After laughing, Meng Fanglia pretended to be impatient and said to Bu La: "Did the young master say it or did you say it?"
"You tell me! You tell me!"
The guy next to me was shocked and asked curiously: "You stupid son of a bitch, when will you make such a joke again?"
Bu La smiled and replied in a low voice: "I learned it from Boss Wang! Boss Wang said: you have to be serious in fighting, but you can't be so serious all the time. You need to properly activate the atmosphere and let the brothers relax. This
It’s called inspiring military morale.”
"Oh, you idiot, you are really different from before!" Or it was a bit unexpected. These days, they have been staying together, but after their best friend followed Wang Zhong to the provincial capital and came back.
, there were some changes that he didn't know about.
"Damn it, you guys are doing it all in the provincial capital?" Yao Ma asked curiously and puzzled.
Bu La lowered his voice and said, "Can I still get Mo Zi? I follow Boss Wang every day to eat and fish, follow Boss Wang, and seduce the actor named Du."
"actor?"
Kaname immediately became interested: "Why didn't I hear you talk about this last night?"
"You didn't ask me!" Bula said matter-of-factly.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Kaname moved towards Bu La!
"What are you talking about? There's a war going on, and the Japanese will come up soon! If you want to hear it, I'll tell you after we defeat the Japanese!"
Although Kaname was feeling very itchy and unbearable, he also knew what was important. The most important thing right now was to fight off the little devil's attack. There would be plenty of time for the rest in the future.
However, they did not continue talking, but they could not stop Meng's tired mouth.
"Don't forget that when the little devil usually fights, he only has two axes. After the artillery bombards the infantry, he rushes, and after the infantry rushes, the artillery bombards him. But when it comes to the battlefield in the rear, the little devil is really good at it!"
"When we were in Burma, those little devils often stayed in groups, with cats on trees, hiding behind slopes, covering their bodies and guns with branches and leaves, and using the chirping of birds and apes as their secret signals. If no one came to catch them,
With the secret code on the street, the machine gunners ambushed by the Japs will pull the trigger on the intruder without hesitation.”
"Have you seen the Japanese pheasant neck?"
"With the same heavy machine gun as Cui Yong's Maxim, that guy would shoot at the high ground on both sides of the road like this one at the same time. Even if you have hundreds or thousands of people, let alone dozens of people, you can't stop them."
"You can only watch the people in front of you, just like harvesting wheat, they fall one after another..."
After about seven or eight minutes, the frequency of Japanese shelling was not as high as it was at the beginning. Through the telescope, Long Wenwen could already see the Japanese troops crossing the river on rafts. They were only a few meters away from the riverside where the main force was located.
More than ten meters away.
"Commander!"
"Within three meters!"
Long Wenwen shouted loudly, interrupting Meng Fangliao who was chattering and bragging. Meng Fanglia hurriedly held the gun, dragged his lame leg, bowed, and limped towards Long Wenwen.
"What's wrong?"
"The Japanese army is about to land. Go and notify Krupp. Point the muzzle of the gun at the riverside and take aim. Follow my order." Long Wenwen immediately ordered.
Looking at the Japanese troops appearing on the river in the distance, Meng Fanle's face became serious. When he went to inform Krupp, even though he was lame, he trotted along at a very fast speed.
"Cheer up, everyone! Check the guns. I have all the bullets loaded. Aim at the river. As soon as the devil shows his head, I will hit him!"
Seeing the Japanese soldiers appearing on the river bank upstream, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army at Jiqi Slope also became nervous, and all their guns were pointed at the river bank.
Unfortunately, on the river in front of them, except for the lingering clouds and mist, there were no traces of the Japanese at all.
As the Japanese cannons fell, one bamboo raft after another loaded with cabinets docked at the river. The Japanese quickly landed. Gunshots also rang out from the main position, and dense bullets were directed towards the river like a heavy rain.
The Japs poured out.
The Japanese, who had been well prepared, immediately organized a defense along the river.
Long Wenwen called Meng Fan again.
"Commander!"
"Within three meters?"
"What's wrong, sir?" Although Meng Fangli was impatient, he was still patient.
Long Wenwen said: "Ask Krupp if our guns can be aimed at the Japanese who have landed in front of the main position..."
Before Long Wenwen finished speaking, he saw Meng Fanlao looking straight upstream in the direction of the main force position.
"Commander, are you listening to me?" Long Wenwen turned around and saw Meng Fannuo looking at the upstream position in a trance. He immediately frowned and was about to scold him.
Meng Fanxiao pointed to the position of the main force upstream and said to Long Wenwen: "Team leader, why did the main force run behind just as the fight started?"
Long Wenwen was stunned by what Meng Fannie said. He immediately turned his telescope and looked towards the main position. He saw countless soldiers on the position rushing towards the back of the position. There was no formation at all, and it was no different from escaping.
.
I was stunned after reading Long’s article!
Even if it collapses at the first touch, it is not this kind of collapse. The vanguard of the Japs has just landed, the two sides have just exchanged fire, and the war has just started, so it is collapsed?
Could it be that he was scared when he saw the little devil and ran away?
"not good!"
"Commander, go and notify Wang Zhong and ask him to take people to the main position to check the situation!" Long Wenwen immediately made a decision.
To be continued...
