Chapter 912: Heavy losses
"Damn!" Zhong Yi's fists clenched.
Immediately afterwards, Zhong Yi called He Wenxi over again and ordered, "Instructor He, gather all the students." ”
"Yes!" He Wenxi did not hesitate at all, and immediately gathered the students of the nearby training class together.
Zhong Yi turned back to An Zhenyuan and said, "Xiao Anzi, there should be a fire-fighting water dragon in the port yard, right?" Hurry up and take the cadets of the officer training class to carry the water dragon. ”
An Zhenyuan took some of the students to carry the water dragon.
At this time, the roar of aircraft engines in the night sky was even closer.
Immediately afterward, two water reconnaissance planes with floating tanks under their wings burst out of the dark night, and then swooped down towards the harbor yard with a piercing scream.
Seeing this, Zhong Yi mentioned the heart in his throat, and then fell back slightly.
It seems that the situation is not too bad, the devils actually only sent two water reconnaissance planes!
If the devil sends a squadron of bombers and carries sulfur bombs, then it will be difficult to keep this food.
But now, with only two seaplanes sent by the devils, the situation is much better.
However, Zhong Yi still did not have a trace of carelessness, and asked He Wenxi to gather more students.
Zhong Yi knows better than anyone else that here, whether it is the patrol police team, the garrison regiment, or the Xiaogang Town People's Regiment brought by Zhao Xingjiu, they are all unreliable, and the only thing that can be counted on is the cadets of He Wenxi's training class!
Zhong Yi's judgment was soon proved by cruel facts.
Although the devils only dispatched two water reconnaissance planes, when the two water reconnaissance planes began to dive down, the patrol police, civilian husbands, government civil servants, and officers and men of the garrison regiment on the dock yard exploded at once, and they ran in all directions like headless flies, and the scene instantly became extremely chaotic.
For a time, countless pallet trucks overturned, and countless grain bales fell to the ground.
Countless grain bales were trampled on, and golden corn kernels overflowed from them and spread all over the ground!
Immediately after that, the two water reconnaissance planes swooped into a low altitude, and after rushing to an ultra-low altitude of nearly 50 meters, the two water reconnaissance planes pulled up violently, and at this moment, four 20-kilogram sulfur bombs fell from the belly of the plane with a scream, and in the blink of an eye, the four sulfur bombs had already landed in the dock yard.
"Boom, boom, boom!" After the violent explosion, four dazzling flames instantly rose.
Immediately afterwards, the incendiary material in the body of the sulfur bomb splashed violently, attached to the board house, bamboo shed and even the grain bag on the storage yard, and then the board house, bamboo shed and grain bag began to burn.
At this time, the patrol team, the garrison regiment, the people, and the civil servants who rushed to rush to transport the grain were all in chaos, and no one thought of fighting the fire or rescuing the grain!
It was also at this time that the extraordinaryness of the nearly 1,000 cadets of the officer training class was immediately revealed!
Because in the midst of the chaos, the nearly 1,000 cadets of the officer training class remained unmoved!
Even though the devil's two water reconnaissance planes were almost whistling past their heads, there was not the slightest commotion in their queue, and even the expressions on their faces did not change at all.
Nothing else, just because these students have already been instilled by He Wenxi and Zhong Yi with the idea that they should sacrifice for the country as soldiers!
It is true that these nearly 1,000 cadet soldiers, both physically and psychologically, are mentally ready to sacrifice their lives for the country and the nation.
The composure of nearly 1,000 cadets made it possible to fight fires.
Almost as soon as the fire started, Zhong Yi issued a fire-fighting order: "Students, saving food is to fight for the country, that is, to dedicate oneself to the nation, all of them, use the water dragon to fight the fire!" ”
"Rush, ......," nearly a thousand students immediately shouted like a tide.
Immediately afterwards, the trainees lifted their fire-fighting hoses in groups of three or five, and after filling them with water at the beach, they quickly returned to the dock yard and sprayed water jets into the raging fire.
When some officers and men of the patrol and garrison regiments saw this scene, they also turned back one after another to join in the firefighting.
However, the good times did not last long, and a moment later, as the two water reconnaissance planes of the devils swooped down again and began to fire fiercely at the firefighting crowd, the officers and men of the patrol and garrison regiments scattered again, but the cadets of the officer training class remained unmoved and continued to hold on to their original positions.
"Puff ......" two dazzling tongues of fire erupted from under the wings of the devil's plane, whistling down.
The two students who were operating the waterwheel were instantly shot several times and fell to the ground screaming, but the other students did not flinch, and soon two more students came up and continued to pump water!
Another devil plane swooped down again with a scream, and two more cadets fell in a pool of blood.
Soon, however, two more trainees quickly took over, and instead of diminishing, the jets of water sprinkled on the fire site became more dense and powerful.
After a while, more than a dozen fires were extinguished one after another.
And the two devil planes in the sky also used up all the machine gun bullets after a few rounds of dives, and finally climbed high and flew away.
Zhong Yi didn't have time to rejoice at all, so he quickly reorganized his manpower and began to rush to transport grain again.
After about three hours, the previous two water reconnaissance planes went back and forth, first dropping four sulfur bombs on the warehouse in the dock yard, and then diving and strafing, but this time, because of the previous experience, the devil planes could create less commotion and less threat.
However, these two waves of bombing by the devils still caused heavy losses to the Yinjiang army and people.
When the sky brightened, the 800,000 tons of corn hoarded in the port yard were finally rushed to the warehouse, of which more than 400,000 tons were rushed to the Zhaobaoshan fortress warehouse, 100,000 tons were pulled back to the Jiangbei Railway Station, and the remaining more than 200,000 tons were evacuated to the countryside by the militia groups and villagers in Xiaogang, Zhuangshi, Camel and Yinxian County.
However, at least 50,000 tonnes of maize were still burned or destroyed.
Looking at the coke burned on the yard, as well as the stalks outside the yard and the corn trampled on the road, Zhong Yi's facial muscles couldn't help but start to twitch one after another.
That's at least 50,000 tons of corn!
50,000 tons of corn are gone!
With so much corn, how many refugees can be fed?
At that moment, Zhong Yi called Cao Ziying and Li Ziren to him.
"Two things!" Zhong Yi's grim gaze swept over Cao Ziying and Li Ziren's faces, and then said, "First thing, the devil knows the news so quickly, and sends a water reconnaissance plane, there must be an inner ghost among us who is giving them a message, Lao Cao, you find out this inner ghost for me!" Second, it's time to pack up the grain! Zi Ren you immediately take the garrison regiment to seize the Chen family and the grain stores of more than a dozen illegal grain merchants, and then arrest people! ”
"Yes!" Cao Ziying and Li Ziren responded proudly.
