Heroes of the War of Resistance

Compared with the attitudes of European and American countries towards the Japanese invasion, the Soviet Union, which was seized by the Japanese army in the Northeast, was undoubtedly extremely dissatisfied with the Japanese occupation of the Northeast.If the Soviet Union did not need to pay attention to the European battlefield, I am afraid that the Japanese army would not allow the Japanese army to occupy the three eastern provinces so easily.

The Kwantung Army, the most elite of the Japanese army, was formed to deal with the counterattack of the Soviet army from the very beginning.In order to cause enough trouble for the Japanese army, the Soviet Union and the National Government also signed a series of military aid clauses to provide loans and weapons to the National Government.

The I-[-] and I-[-] fighter jets that were handed over to the Nationalist government at the beginning of the year have formed a certain combat capability.Although the performance of these two combat forces is not as good as the Japanese Zero fighter, the Japanese Zero fighter has not yet entered service yet!

Knowing that the fifth theater had successfully implemented anti-encirclement tactics and encircled the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army that had penetrated into the Taierzhuang battlefield alone, Lao Jiang also knew that this was a rare opportunity.If you are always defeated, it will damage the credibility of the government and the morale of the army.

Even though he was worried that the air force would suffer losses if it participated in the war, Lao Jiang still knew that the real air force must also have air combat capabilities.If you want to train a group of elite air force pilots, the only way is to let these pilots fly into the air and actually fight with Japanese pilots.

After receiving the call for help from Li Zongren, Lao Jiang was still very angry and prepared to send a fighter squadron to support the frontline operations in Taierzhuang.The task of this squadron is very simple, which is to suppress the harassment of Japanese fighter planes during the counter-offensive.

After a whole morning of fierce fighting, the bodies of the anti-Japanese troops can be seen everywhere on the outer positions of the Tenth Division.On the other hand, the field hospital of the Tenth Division was also full of wounded who were whining and screaming from time to time.

Facing the madness of the attacking troops in the fifth theater, the Japanese army in charge of blocking it was also uncomfortable.What troubled division commander Rensuke Isoya the most was the artillery shells stored by the division. After a whole morning of bombardment, they had almost been consumed.

Listening to the chief of staff's report, Isoya Rensuke said with a headache: "Baga, how can the shells be consumed so quickly?"

"General, the Artillery Wing is responsible for providing artillery support to the front-line troops. The Chinese Army's attack in the morning was too crazy, and the troops in charge of blocking all called for artillery support. Many artillerymen are exhausted, and the number of shells consumed will naturally be more."

"If the Chinese army continues to attack in the afternoon, what shall we do?"

"Perhaps there is such a possibility! But judging from the battle situation in the morning, the casualties of the Chinese army were extremely heavy, and the corpses of the Chinese army can be seen everywhere on the forward positions. Under such circumstances, the generals of the Chinese army will also hesitate whether this kind of attack is worth it! "

As far as the chief of staff is concerned, he also knows that it is not a good thing to consume shells too quickly.The problem is that in the morning, the troops in the fifth theater were too crazy to attack. Without the artillery support of the artillery wing, I am afraid that the troops in the fifth theater have already broken through their defense line.

Under the current circumstances, he could only hope that the generals in the fifth war zone would take pity on the casualties of the troops.The Chief of Staff of the [-]th Division knew to some extent that many Japanese generals still cared about casualties and did not want to wipe out all the troops under their command.

Many military generals seem to know that only soldiers can be generals.If the troops are exhausted, they will become powerless generals.This kind of situation is very common in the anti-Japanese troops, but this time the situation is different from the past.

In Teng County, which was captured by the Tenth Division earlier, the city guard general Wang Mingzhang died for the country, and the second-level general Han Fuju who was executed by Lao Jiang earlier.The connection of these two incidents made the other participating generals dare not have other ideas.

Listening to the gunshots that still existed in the forward position, it seemed to be much weaker than before. Isotani Rensuke who arrived at the forward position to observe was slightly satisfied: "Hey, it seems that the Chinese Army finally knows how to be afraid! Let the troops rotate! "

Considering that the main force had to break through at night, Rensuke Isoya also knew that the troops who fought fiercely all morning were very hard.Taking advantage of the weakening of the offensive troops in the fifth theater, he took the opportunity to rotate the troops, intending to let the troops continue to stand firm until dark.

As for the tank unit of the headquarters of the protection division, he never mobilized it.In his opinion, whether the division can successfully break through this time depends on whether the chariot troops can fight a bloody path for them.The trump card should naturally be saved for last.

But Rensuke Isoya didn't know at all that the offensive troops in the fifth theater were also rotating and rearranging their attacks.The gunshots from the forward positions were mostly feint attacks by the attacking troops, which made the Japanese dare not relax their vigilance.

When the Tenth Division began to rotate the defensive troops, the troops in the fifth theater responsible for the offense were also beginning to eat.The artillery units that the various armies were reluctant to pull out earlier have also been transported to the front line one after another, and the artillery is rushing to build artillery positions.

The infantry, who was eating, looked at the artillery who brought the artillery, and said in surprise: "Put the artillery position here, isn't it just to let the little devil's plane blow it up? Are the officers' brains burned out?"

In response to the mutterings of the soldiers, some junior officers scolded: "Sir, of course he has his own reasons for doing this. Eat more, and run faster when the shelling starts. You must take down the little devil's position in the afternoon." !"

"Platoon leader, the little devil's artillery fire is so fierce. We rushed several times in the morning and were repulsed. Look for yourself, how many people are left with us now? If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid this meal will become a mess." Dinner is ready!"

Facing the soldiers' complaints, the reprimanded platoon leader didn't know how to answer, but he still said: "This is an order from Shangfeng, what can we do? Is it possible that you want to be a deserter? I have artillery to help in the afternoon, so it should be possible. !"

After a whole morning of bloody battles, seeing countless soldiers who fell under the guns and bombardment of the Japanese army, the officers of the army couldn't feel better.But from the army commander to the platoon leader, one level at a time is suppressed. Who would dare not work hard when charging?

If you fall down, you can only consider yourself unlucky, and those who can survive may not be lucky.For these anti-Japanese officers and soldiers who participated in the war, as long as the little devil is still there, as long as they continue to fight, none of them can guarantee that they will survive until the end of the war.

Compared with the complaints of ordinary soldiers and grassroots officers, the generals in command seem to be full of confidence.Looking at the main team leader under his command, he continued to arrange the general attack in the afternoon.With the support of artillery, the offensive battle in the afternoon may be much easier to fight.

"Time is limited! When the general offensive starts, all regiments except the reserve team will attack the Japanese defensive positions with all their strength. After fighting all morning, the little devil's shells should not be many, and the little devil's plane will not be able to fly in the afternoon. You can let go Dry."

As soon as these words came out, many regiment leaders immediately said: "Sir (division), is it true that the little devil's plane can't fly?"

"Of course it's true! Commander Li has asked to send a fighter squadron to drive us away from the little devil's planes. During the general offensive, the artillery units of all armies in the theater will bombard the little devil's garrison.

Hundreds of cannons fired together, this scene may only be seen this time in your life.If we can't break the tortoise shell of the little devil again, then we won't have to fight in the future.In a word, we can't lose to other teams, understand? "

"Yes, the military (division) seat!"

Knowing that the artillery in the theater participated in the battle collectively, and the air force provided air cover, the main regiment leaders in charge of the attack in the morning also felt a lot more confident.In their view, the little devil's artillery and air force are the biggest threat to the infantry.

As the time for the scheduled general attack approached, all the troops in the theater responsible for the feint attack withdrew from their forward positions one after another.Rensuke Isotani, who was eating at the headquarters, immediately put down the lunch box in his hand and asked, "What's going on?"

"Division Commander, the Chinese Army's offensive has completely stopped! I don't know what happened?"

"What about Na? The Chinese army stopped attacking? How is this possible? Not good, are they going to launch a general offensive?"

Compared with the noisy gunshots before, the battlefield that suddenly became silent gave Isoya Rensuke a kind of chill from the bottom of his heart.Just when some Japanese soldiers mistakenly thought that their strong resistance finally frightened the anti-Japanese troops, they were shocked!

The attacking troops who had already had lunch, under the leadership of their respective regiment leaders, entered the forward offensive position and looked at the three signal flares rising into the sky. All eyes were on the signal flares.The artillery of each army is also ready for shelling.

Seeing these three flares, the artillery commander on the position waved his command flag and shouted, "Fire!"

Numerous artillerymen pulled the bolt and sent the shells stuffed into the barrel.Countless howling shells, like a dense meteor shower, flew towards the position of the Tenth Division.Seeing these shells, many Japanese soldiers were shocked.

Many little devil officers who stayed on the ground also screamed in horror: "Bombardment! Concealment! Bombardment! Concealment!"

The blocking battle in the morning made many little devils feel that the anti-Japanese troops did not dare to use artillery at all.With the cooperation of fighter planes in the air, as long as the artillery of the anti-Japanese troops appeared, they would become the targets of air strikes by Japanese fighter planes.

As these shells fell into the little devil's position, Isoya Rensuke, who was staying at the headquarters, heard the countless explosions from the outside, and said with a shocked face: "Baga! The artillery unit of the Chinese Army? How is this possible? What about our Air Force?"

Faced with Isoya Rensuke's inquiry, the other commanders of the division were also shocked.Just when the kid was expecting their air force to provide them with cover.The Japanese fighter planes that flew to the battlefield again saw many Japanese fighter planes rushing out of the clouds.

"Enemy! Enemy! Turn, avoid!"

The Japanese fighter planes that had raged over the battlefield all morning, seeing these fighter planes coming out of the clouds with the blue sky and white sun flag painted on them, naturally knew that they were Japanese fighter planes.Even the Japanese army knew that these fighters were all Soviet-made fighters.

The performance of these Soviet fighters is no worse than the fighters they pilot.Facing the intercepted Japanese fighter planes, the Japanese fighter planes responsible for providing air support could not protect themselves at this time, so naturally they could not support the Tenth Division.

Faced with the powerful shelling launched by the Fifth Theater, the surrounded Japanese Tenth Division also realized the danger of destruction.Fortunately, the Artillery Wing, which had been suffering all morning, became the only firefighting team in the division, but it couldn't stand up to too many opponents.

What's more, the artillery unit of the Tenth Division, after a whole morning of shelling, has already calculated its position by the artillery unit of the Fifth Theater.When the general offensive began, how could the artillery wing of the Japanese army and the artillery of the Fifth Theater be let go?

Chapter Table of Contents Chapter [-] Kill the little devil!

The Japanese soldiers lying on the offensive position felt extremely happy when they saw the Japanese positions covered in dense artillery fire.When they attacked in the morning, they saw the little devil's artillery fire raging, and now it's finally the little devil's turn to have a taste of it.

Compared to the morning, the Little Devils Artillery Squad was the same as the fire brigade, providing artillery support to the defense forces in all directions.The armies in charge of the attack now poured the shells they carried onto the Japanese positions, and the little devils who exploded ran away with their heads in their arms.

Many little devil officers who stayed in the defensive position couldn't help asking: "Where are our artillery? Where are our planes? Why don't we fight back? If this continues, how will we hold our ground?"

The little devil who is used to attacking or defending with artillery support is also very dissatisfied when faced with the passive bombing situation.The simple fortifications dug earlier were difficult to form effective protection, and many little devils were killed by shells.

If the little devil hadn't known that he couldn't retreat, the little devil's soldiers staying in the trenches of the position would also move to the rear.But these little devils all know that the headquarters of the division is located behind the position, so how can they retreat?

Just as depressed as these officers was Rensuke Isoya, who was staying at the division headquarters.Facing the strong shelling of the besieging troops, Isoya Rensuke was also very surprised: "Where are our fighter planes? Why haven't they appeared yet?"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Lu Hang called back. They have already dispatched fighter planes, and they should have arrived on the battlefield by this time!"

"Baga! Now that the fighter planes have taken off, what about the planes? Why didn't I see them? Are they lost?"

Isotani Rensuke, who was yelling at the staff officer, was extremely angry. Looking at the troops struggling under the shelling, he knew very well that if the fighter planes did not appear again, the defensive troops deployed on the front line might not last long.His artillery wing has lost its combat effectiveness.
