Heroes of the War of Resistance

During the previous fierce battle, they destroyed the antiaircraft artillery positions in several gardens, and also paid the price of crashing two fighter jets.In addition to the bombers that were blown up, the fleet formation that performed the bombing mission lost three fighters.

What angered the fighter team commander the most was that most of the fighters who stayed at high altitude and did not dare to dive again were hit by anti-aircraft fire.Although he can still stay in the air, he no longer dares to take the risk of diving and shooting.

Seeing the buildings in the center of the Presidential Palace and the anti-aircraft fire still firing, the fighter captain could only helplessly say: "Retreat! Damn it, the army has heavy artillery, why not directly bombard the Presidential Palace?"

In order to cooperate with the Army's capture of the Presidential Palace, the Army Aviation conducted two air strikes and even lost a fighter plane.Many of the fighter planes that participated in the war had to be overhauled after returning.Such a result undoubtedly made the Japanese pilots feel angry.

It wasn’t until the Japanese fighter formation finally turned around and left helplessly that Hu Biao gave the order: “Repair the fortifications and send people to the garden to rescue the wounded. As long as they are still alive, all of them will be brought back, and the dead bodies will also be brought back.”

Knowing that the little devil is bombarding the forward position, Hu Biao can also guess that the Japanese army's general attack on the presidential palace is about to start.At this time, sending troops to rescue the forward positions is not very effective. Instead, we should use the time to rush to repair the collapsed fortifications.

After conveying the order to several officers around him, Hu Biao continued: "Second Shuan, ask the air defense company to adjust the jī qiāng machine guns to flat fire, and only keep a few machine guns for air defense alert. After suffering such a big loss, little devil The plane should never come again!"

Unlike the tanks and armored vehicles equipped by the little devil, most of the Japanese aircraft are now assigned to the navy háng kōng soldiers.The number of air forces of the Japanese Army Aviation Force is still small.Even if you change the model, you have to rank behind the navy háng kōng army.

Losing so many fighter planes at once, I believe the army aviation commander of the little devil will also feel distressed.Continue to send planes to assist in the battle. If there is any loss, the Army Aviation Commander may not be able to bear such a loss.

Now that the army has launched shelling, it means that the ground offensive is about to start.At this time, the little devil sent planes to help in the battle, but it didn't play a big role.What really solves the battle depends on the infantry responsible for the attack.

According to the earlier division of labor and deployment, Chen Gongshu was in charge of intelligence and logistics, and the rest of the officers and soldiers stationed at the presidential palace rushed out of the air-raid shelter immediately, repaired and strengthened the bombed fortifications and jī qiāng fortresses, and replaced the bombed jī qiāng.

At the same time, Hu Biao gave the mountain artillery company an order to counterattack with artillery fire.The mountain artillery company couldn't hit the little devil's heavy artillery position at all, and the mountain artillery unit that counterattacked the little devil shared the firepower for the blocking position.

As for the mortar platoon, under Hu Biao's order, they set up positions on the side of the blocking position, provided artillery cover for the blocking position that was under shelling, and gave more support to the blocking forces so that they could safely withdraw to the presidential palace.

The artillery was pulled out from the concealment, and the mountain artillery company that quickly set up the artillery position calculated the location of the Japanese mountain artillery brigade based on the shells that fell on the blocking position.After the calculation, each cannon quickly adjusted its angle and direction.

Everything was ready, and the company commander of the mountain artillery company immediately said: "Gunner, get ready!"

The Prime Minister fired five shells to retreat before, but this time Hu Biao did not give them an order to finish the firing.This means that after the mountain artillery company started the artillery counterattack, it should also pay attention to the Japanese army's artillery counterattack.

But the battle has already been fought to this point, even if the mountain cannon is returned to the presidential palace, I'm afraid it won't play much role.That being the case, it is better to pour more shells into the Japanese artillery positions before the Japanese artillery counterattacks.

In this way, the tenacious fighting spirit of the anti-Japanese artillery was demonstrated to the people and the Japanese army.As for these mountain artillery, when the mountain artillery company is unable to set up artillery, all artillery will be destroyed by itself.From the very beginning, the fate of the artillery was sealed.

"Brothers, I believe you all know how dangerous the situation is now. When the shelling starts, I hope you can shoot out as many shells as possible with the fastest speed and the most fearless courage.

You have all seen the performance of other brothers before.The brothers of the air defense company beat up so many fighter planes of the little devils. They gave up their lives and beat the planes of the little devils away. We can't lose to them, let alone sorry for them! "

"Yes, company commander!"

"This should be the last battle of our mountain artillery company, brothers, I will fight with you to the end, prepare the shells!"

After yelling this sentence, the company commander of Shanpao didn't say anything more, he just wanted to tell these soldiers in a practical way that he, the temporarily appointed artillery company commander, would not run away, and would fight with them until there was no artillery left to fight .

"The first shot is ready! The second shot is ready! The third shot,,,,,"

As each artillery position shouted the words that they were ready, the company commander of the mountain artillery, holding a command flag, waved heavily: "Let go!"

As the mountain artillery company showed its existence again, Ushishima Sadao, who was organizing the infantry to advance, soon saw the shells flying from the presidential palace, falling very precisely in the direction of the mountain artillery battalion.

"Gah! This is the mountain artillery of the Chinese Army. Didn't the Air Force say earlier that they couldn't find their artillery positions?"

Listening to the sound of gunfire from the Mountain Cannon Battalion, and the instant decrease in the number of shells fired, many Japanese commanders who were watching the battle at the rear felt that the Jinling Death Battalion standing at the Presidential Palace was really tenacious. beyond imagination.

The defenders of the blockade positions, who can also feel that the shells have been reduced a lot, also know that the artillery in the rear is fighting back.As they waited for the end of the Japanese shelling, the familiar sound of mortar fire came again from the left side of the position.

All the surviving blocking officers and soldiers knew about the little devil infantry who were advancing and being bombarded by bombardment again.At this time, there is only one way to go desperately, there is no other choice! 14

As early as when Hu Biao led the guard platoon into Jinling, I believe many people could not have imagined that Hu Biao would resolutely choose to fight a doomed defensive battle at the Jinling Presidential Palace when everyone evacuated, in order to prove China's determination to resist the war.

If Lao Jiang learned earlier that Hu Biao used his presidential palace as his headquarters, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.At this moment, seeing the telegram sent by Dai Li early in the morning, Lao Jiang felt extremely emotional in his heart, and felt that Hu Biao was undoubtedly a titan.

Compared with other generals who talk a lot, but have little actual actions and abilities, this lieutenant colonel who has just been promoted to three jí has ​​indeed made him even the national government and the Communist Party embarrassment, and has achieved unexpected results.

Faced with the telegram personally sent by Dai Li, Lao Jiang's first reaction was to ask, "Has the news been verified?"

"Committee, the news has been confirmed. In fact, the fighters shot down by the Death Warriors Battalion this time was one more than what they reported. One of the first fighters that flew to Jinling crashed on the way back, and only one was safe. Return to the airport."

"It's rare! Who would have thought that just a battalion of dead soldiers, with only the anti-aircraft weapons picked up, would achieve such a beautiful record. It seems necessary. Show this telegram to those generals and ask them if they will feel blush."

Lao Jiang is also clear about the unified storage of all the abandoned materials of the city guards after the Death Warriors Battalion took over Jinling.He even knew that Hu Biao sent more of the collected daily necessities to the international safety zone.

It is precisely because of Hu Biao's kind deeds that foreigners in the International Safety Zone can also see the concern of the Kuomintang government and the Anti-Japanese Army for the people.In contrast, the bombing carried out by the Japanese army in Jinling naturally made foreigners extremely indignant.

For these foreigners in Jinling, if they see that the national government doesn't care about the lives of the people, they will be very disappointed.Even the government of the country doesn't care about the people of the country, so do you expect others to care?

The more he knew about Hu Biao, the more Jiang appreciated Hu Biao.Thinking about those generals who escaped again, how could Lao Jiang feel happy?Those generals who abandoned their troops and fled ahead of time were all caught by the military command if they did not fall behind.

Waiting for the fate of these generals may not be enforced by military law, but it is almost impossible to lead the army to fight.In contrast, Gui Shuzhen, who is leading the teaching corps and the main force of the city defense at this moment, undoubtedly made Lao Jiang feel very relieved.

Thinking of the current situation facing the dead soldiers camp, Lao Jiang was worried again: "Yunong, do you think this kid can break out?"

Facing Lao Jiang's question, Dai Li thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it will be difficult, my seat! The Japanese army has now used aircraft and heavy artillery brigades to eliminate the battalion of dead soldiers and occupy the presidential palace as soon as possible. There are not many troops in the city."

Dai Li didn't say the following words, but Lao Jiang naturally understood the meaning. After a moment of silence, Lao Jiang said: "It would be a misfortune for the country if such a loyal and courageous man were to be compromised. Tell Chen Gongshu to ensure his safety at all costs.

When necessary, if the kid is too stubborn to listen to dissuasion, he can use some necessary means.With the ability of your military command and you are at the presidential palace, it shouldn't be too difficult to save that kid's life, right? "

"Appointment, I will do my best in this humble position!"

"Okay! Your military command has contributed a lot to the record of the dead soldiers battalion this time, and I will reward you as appropriate!"

Given such a promise to Dai Li, Dai Li, who is a lieutenant general in the army, was naturally very happy.Although Dai Li does not lead troops, the power he enjoys in the army is probably incomparable to many lieutenant generals in the army.And all of this stems from Lao Jiang's trust in him.

After receiving the secret telegram from the Military Control Bureau, Chen Gongshu, the director of the left behind, also knew the weight of this telegram.Calling together a few confidantes, Chen Gongshu also made some unknown arrangements.

But at this moment in front of the presidential palace, the Japanese army and the defenders exchanged artillery fire back and forth, and the entire battlefield became more and more bloody.Qin Tianyou, who should have been persuaded to return, resolutely chose to stay and continue to block when the Japanese heavy artillery stopped shelling.

Looking at the many soldiers who fell in the blocking position, Qin Tianyou, whose face was covered with paint, also burst into tears and said: "The battle to the death will not retreat, kill!"

"kill!"

There was no time to repair the bombed-out fortifications, let alone rescue the comrades trapped in the ruins. All the surviving fighters immediately rushed to the hot ruins with their guns in hand, pulled the trigger, and shot the advancing soldiers. Japanese army.

Even though the mortar platoon continued to provide artillery cover, the Japanese infantry in charge of the attack received orders to die from the rear.Even if the entire army is wiped out, they must go forward bravely and capture the last blocking position in front of the presidential palace.

On the position of the mountain artillery company behind the blocking position, the commander of the mountain artillery company who was in charge of the command had died.A lieutenant and platoon leader who took over from the company commander of Shanpao still gritted his teeth and said, "Cannonball! Give me the cannonball and continue shelling!"

The surviving artillery still gritted their teeth and stood firm on the artillery position, manipulating several surviving mountain artillery, and launched a counterattack towards the Japanese artillery in the city.At this moment, the Japanese army's mountain artillery brigade also suffered heavy casualties.

After receiving the call for help from the Mountain Artillery Brigade, the brigade head of the Heavy Artillery Brigade also said angrily, "Geyalu! How did the Mountain Artillery Brigade lose so much? Does the brigade still have heavy artillery shells?"

"General, all the heavy shells have been fired!"

"Gah! Those guys in the supply unit, what are they doing! Power the mountain artillery brigade and let them retreat! The artillery shells carried by the brigade have been exhausted, and the rest of the battle will be left to the tenth division!"
