The only thing that surprised the pilots was that the blown up guns seemed to be flying too high. There is also the fact that the soldiers who were blown up did not know that they gave people a feeling of lightness, and their whole bodies were on fire, and even the barrels of their guns turned into fireballs in the air.

This made the pilots wonder a little: "Did they themselves sprinkle oil on the gun emplacement?" ”

One pilot couldn't help but radio to the flight captain and asked, "Sir, could it be that we bombed a fake artillery position deliberately made by the communists and bandits?" How do I think it doesn't look like it? It doesn't look like artillery and soldiers being blown up at all. ......, you see, not a single soldier escaped there, let our shells blow up, let the surrounding fire burn, and not a single person came out to put out the fire. ......, besides, this bombing is too easy, right? None of them shot at us, weren't they deliberately allowing us to blow up? ”

The other four pilots also slowly came back to their senses, and the closer they flew, the more they realized that they had just bombed a false target and a false position.

A sharp-eyed pilot even saw that the barrels were made of wood, and that the guns burning in the air were made of tree branches, but with a military uniform on them.

"Descend and look for it again!" The captain of the air force led by him was very angry, and after being busy for a long time, it turned out to be a fake, wasting time, fuel, and ammunition in vain. He comforted loudly, "Brothers, don't be discouraged, we still have bombs on our plane." Our main purpose is to blow up their artillery, and if the bombs are thrown and they can't blow up the communists below, the brothers of the 44th Division will fight for us, or they can wait for us to replenish the ammunition. ”

Originally, their bombs not only had to complete the task of blowing up the Matouling artillery, but also to blow up the formation of the defenders, causing confusion to the defenders, and damaging the confidence of the defenders.

But the bombing began to be a false target, more than half of the bombs were wasted, and the remaining bombs could not bombard the Red Army fighters, but could only be thrown on real artillery positions.

"The question is where are the real artillery positions?" The pilot thought depressedly, lowering his flight altitude and staring closely below.

"See, see, in the hollow below, in the middle of the woods!" It was the pilot who first discovered the anomaly below, and he saw that not far from this false position was an artillery position, and from the scattered weeds, he even saw those artillery pieces that only showed a little bit of the muzzle, and he laughed, "Hahaha...... the communist bandits are really stupid bandits, since they are fake positions, they have to be like a little bit, if we arrange a few machine guns, arrange a few rifles, or force a few dead ghosts to stay in the gun position, we will really be fooled." No, we immediately found the problem. They're stupid! ”

Just as he discovered this hidden position, a burst of heavy machine gun suddenly sounded below: "Da Da Da ......"

As the heavy machine guns fired, the pilots discovered two cleverly hidden machine gun emplacements in the woods next to the artillery position, which made all the pilots believe that this was the real artillery position.

"Liftoff! Launch! Watch to stay in formation! Bombing after carrying out formations! The captain of the flight team shouted eagerly, and after directing the five planes to fly into the air, he formed an emergency formation at the high altitude, and then swooped down diagonally towards the artillery position in strict formation.

During the dive, the flight captain did not forget to reiterate the task just assigned, and he shouted: "Plane No. 1 uses machine guns to suppress the fire on the ground, and the other planes dive and drop bombs with me!" ”

The pilot gritted his teeth and pressed his finger on the bomb drop button while controlling the rudder.

Just before they were about to press the bomb button, suddenly more than a dozen flames appeared on the hills on both sides of the depression, and then a series of heavy machine gun gunfire suddenly erupted: "Da da da ......"

Guo Zhuocheng's rifle with a scope had also firmly locked the plane that was firing the shè machine gun bullets in front of him, and now he was almost in a straight line with the plane's course, and the plane seemed to be aimed at him lurking in the mud.

He calmly pulled the trigger: "Horn! ”

He did not see the pilot's head exploding, but immediately after the shot, he rolled into the pit that had already been dug and lay there motionless.

"Boom!" Because there was no pilot to control the plane, it went straight to the ground like a straight line, until it was finally blocked by a large pine tree, and then it changed direction and hit a rock and ignited a fire.

The fate of the other four planes was worse than that of this one, three of which were hit by heavy machine guns and exploded in the air, and the pilot's body smashed to the ground and threw into the air along with the fragments of the plane.

The other plane was hit by the debris splashed by its companion, broke its right wing, and finally tumbled and landed in a bamboo forest. The engine was still roaring, and the propeller had turned the bamboo leaves and branches into a cloud of smoke......

After a violent explosion, Matouling thought about a burst of enthusiastic cheers, whether it was the Red Army, the previously reorganized prisoners or the prisoners who were forced to return to the team, they all shouted loudly.

Prior to this, almost everyone regarded the aircraft as invincible, and in the face of the bombing and sweeping shè of the aircraft, the best way for the troops on the ground to cope was to flee and dodge, although some people also tried to shoot each other, but in vain, but in many cases because of the exposure of heavy casualties.

The people on Matouling were most worried about the bombing of the other side's planes, and except for the Red Army, who were not afraid of death, everyone else was nervous, after all, no one wanted to be beaten if they were captured.

However, they never imagined that fighting an airplane would be the same as fighting on the ground, with the same ambush circle being set up, and one could dig a trap for the other party to jump in. We can't help you when you're in the air, but you can fly down, we can't hit you on the ground, but we can stand on the top of the mountain and hit you when you fly into the hollow.

In their opinion, it is easy for the enemy to see through it, because there is still a difference between a barrel made of steel and a barrel made of wood, and a dummy made of branches is also very different from a real person. Even if the deception is really successful, it is useless, and people can still go back to refuel, hang up ammunition again, and find new artillery positions.

However, when this scene appeared, they realized that Guo Zhuocheng's cleverness was simply a ring after a ring, and the fake artillery position in front was just for you to discover, just to waste your bombs and stimulate your feelings, and when the second artillery position was discovered, you would be easy to get angry, right? In order to save time and increase the degree of hitting, you have to lower the flight altitude, right? You're going to have to obediently fall for it, and obediently put your chest on the muzzle of his gun.

Although the Gui army, who was standing at the foot of Matouling Mountain, did not see the specific scene of the explosion of the plane, and although they did not know that the five planes on their side were shot down, they heard the explosion and saw the smoke drifting into the air, and they did not see a single plane fly back into the air for a long time, so they knew that the five planes were all reimbursed, and the friendly troops who assisted them in the fire attack on the defenders were gone.

The officers and soldiers of Gui, including Wang Zanbin, were dumbfounded: How is this possible? How could the communist bandits be able to shoot down the planes that flew up and down and knock them all out? What new weapons do they have?

Not only was the division commander Wang Zanbin dumbfounded, but when the news reached the ears of Xia Wei, commander of the 15th Army, and Bai Chongxi, the general headquarters, they were all dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine how those rabble in Matouling shot down five planes at the same time.

Although they didn't figure it out, they still had a pain in their flesh. You must know that the entire Gui Army has a total of eighteen aircraft, all of which are still imported from abroad, and a lot of money has been spent on this, and it can be said that it is only through squeezing out of the teeth that these planes were bought and these pilots were trained.

This one is out of almost a third, so how can Bai Chongxi not cry without tears? Even if all the people in Matouling were broken into pieces, it would be difficult to solve the resentment in his heart. So, a harshly worded telegram was sent directly to Wang Zanbin: "Take Matouling within five hours, behead all the defenders above, and leave not a single one!" Otherwise, the 44th Division will be engaged in military law for all officers above the platoon level from division commander Wang Zanbin down! ”

Of course, this time the Gui army did not send any more planes, and no matter who is in charge, he will not be so generous as to lose another plane in a small place, and if he loses five more planes, it is estimated that even Li Zongren will have to suffer for several months.

Don't think that Bai Chongxi issued this strict order because he was angry and raised troops. Although he was angered by this incident, as a wise general, a person who was compared by others with Zhuge Liang, the embodiment of wisdom in the Three Kingdoms era, would not lose his mind so easily, he just used this incident as an excuse to force Wang Zanbin's 44th Division to fight and attack. Now that the main force of the Red Army has entered the territory of Hunan, the biggest crisis of their Gui Army is how to face the Zōngyāng Army, in order to prevent the night from having many dreams, it is necessary to quickly solve the remnants of the Communists and bandits in Matouling, and then concentrate all efforts to deal with the Red Army's rearguard Red 34th Division, only Guangxi-Guangxi will return to normal in the shortest possible time, and Jiang Jiaoshi has no reason to stare at himself anymore.

Soon after Bai Chongxi's stern military order reached the 44th Division, the two main regiments began a fierce attack on Matouling!

Guo did not send all the troops, he arranged for the vast majority of his soldiers to hide under a cliff, and they waited silently, waiting for their turn to attack in detachments.

At present, there are more than 1,800 soldiers and prisoners on Matouling, except for some wounded and sick and a small number of civilians who have not been reorganized, and the others have been reorganized, including four detachments, and the four detachments have 18 detachments under their jurisdiction. A detachment is equivalent to a battalion in the army, while a detachment is equivalent to a company in the army, and the detachment is still divided into platoons and squads.
