readx; In the sky, several planes were chasing each other, and although the details of the rapidly churning combat planes in the sky could not be seen clearly from the ground, the insignia of the air forces of China and China could still be seen. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info said: "The emblem of this combat aircraft is naturally Xuyue, and the painting of China's combat aircraft is a five-colored star.

In the sky, the F2 fighters and the 91 fighters of the Japanese army kept churning and diving, and fired bullets at the enemy planes. While these fighters were engaged in a struggle, four B7 dive bombers of the Chinese Air Force suddenly appeared from the clouds in the sky, and then quickly dived towards the positions of the Japanese army.

Just a few minutes later, several military positions on the ground were filled with explosions!

Shigetaro Yamashita looked at a 37mm anti-tank gun that had been blown into scrap metal in front of him, and then looked up at the Chinese dive bomber that had been roaring away, his face showed anger, and then he clenched his fists and scolded in a low voice: "Yaga, damn Shina plane!" ”

Although he was very much looking forward to his fighter planes being able to intercept and shoot down these hateful Chinese planes, there was a gap between reality and ideals, otherwise the ideal would not be an ideal but a reality, and the ideal that could be realized would naturally not be an ideal. He said, "I have put the latest Type 91 fighter in North Korea, although the surname of this fighter has surpassed a large number of F2 fighters in service in the Chinese Air Force, but my Type 91 fighter is the same as China's F3 fighter, as the latest fighter has just been in service for a long time, and now there are not too many at all, and now there are only less than 30 Type 91 fighters, and most of these 30 are sent to North Korea. However, this old term could not meet the urgent demand for fighter planes in the airspace over North Korea.

He said: "Except for the 20 or so latest Type 91 fighters, the rest of the combat planes in the skies over the DPRK are all old planes, and half of them are non-air fighters such as bombers and reconnaissance planes." Only the 20 or so Type 91 fighters and more than 30 other old fighters were engaged in air defense operations over Pyongyang and Anju.

And what is the number of combat aircraft that the Chinese Air Force has put into the DPRK? There are more than 500 of them, most of them bombers, and more than 200 F2 fighters for escort and air defense.

Therefore, although China's F2 fighter was slightly inferior to Yu Ben's Type 91 fighter in terms of surname in a short period of time, a large number of F2 fighters were sent to escort each sortie, and they relied on numerical superiority to continue to suppress Ben's Type 91 fighter. And once the F3 fighters of the Chinese Air Force are deployed to North Korea, it will be said that the disadvantage of the Air Force will be even greater.

It is impossible to expect the air force to completely protect the airspace, and more often than not, it is said that 'the army units must rely on their own strength to avoid air attacks.'

Shigetaro Yamashita was part of the 9th Anti-Tank Brigade of the 9th Division, and as a gunner, he was a gunner of a 37mm anti-tank gun.

In the previous days of fighting, the Ninth Division, as the main force deployed by the Third Army on the outer defense line of Pyongyang, undertook the important task of intercepting the rapid southward assault of the Chinese armored forces. During the battle, the Ninth Division displayed its combat effectiveness not inferior to that of the Fifth Division, a first-class unit of the Chinese army, and only relied on the strength and fortifications of one division to stop the attack of the Fifth Motorized Infantry Division of the Chinese armored forces.

Being able to hold off the enemy's attack on its own in the face of being inferior in firepower has fully demonstrated the combat effectiveness of the 9th Division.

The 9th Division, together with the 4th and 10th Divisions, formed the Pyongyang defense line and undertook the heavy task of intercepting the Chinese armored cluster. To intercept China's armored forces, it is natural to rely heavily on anti-tank firepower, and in addition to those large-caliber anti-tank guns equipped at the brigade and wing levels, the real main force is anti-tank guns.

In addition to the 37-mm anti-tank guns of the three divisions, the army also used a large number of 75-mm field guns for anti-tank operations, directly destroying the enemy's tanks by risking close to the ground fire. In addition to these traditional anti-tank operations, the Japanese army units also fully carried forward the spirit of bushido, using soldiers to charge closer, and then using explosives packs or cluster grenades to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and even directly strapped bombs to Chinese tanks.

The anti-tank battle on the Pyongyang front was so tragic that Lieutenant General Kenkichi Ueda, commander of the 9th Division, said in the battle report: "The emperor [***] people are bound to block the enemy's steel chariots with their flesh and blood with a fearless spirit!" ”

When the Third Army paid a heavy price, it only slightly blocked the southward offensive of the Chinese armored forces.

The 37mm anti-tank gun in Yamashita's hand destroyed a Chinese tank, and the danger of the battle process makes the current Yamashita Shigetaro feel terrified when he thinks about it. In yesterday's battle, he ventured to attack a Chinese T6 tank less than a hundred meters away from them, and then the first shell of the sneak attack hit, but only hit the tank's track position, even though the T6 tank track was damaged, but soon the T6 tank turned the turret and began to prepare to shoot at them with the 57mm tank gun on it, accompanied by the two machine guns on the tank.

At the last moment, the anti-tank gun crew of Shigetaro Yamashita ventured to reload again, and finally fired at the last minute, and this time accurately hit the upper half of the tank, and the turret rotation of the tank also stopped after the hit.

Thinking of yesterday's battle, Shigetaro Yamashita had a feeling of escaping death, but he did not expect that one of his anti-tank guns was not lost under enemy tank fire, but was blown up by Chinese planes.

After losing the anti-tank gun, he did not stay too much, and was about to join the rest of the squadron, but at this time, he found a faint white smoke on the field, and the experienced man immediately knew that this was the Chinese tank again.

Just when he was frightened, he heard a whistling sound in his ears again, and before he could react, there was a wave of explosion around him, and the shock wave of the explosion lifted him directly, he only felt that he was oppressed in an instant as if he was going to be out of breath, and his ears were also silent, he couldn't hear the gunshots, couldn't hear the hum of the planes in the sky, couldn't hear the explosions on the battlefield, it seemed that there was a dead silence around him, and he couldn't hear anything.

Shaking his heavy head, he struggled to get up from the ground, ignoring the dust on his body, he staggered to his feet, not caring about the corpses beside him, stepping over the broken foot under his footsteps, stepping on the blood-stained ground, he walked towards the rear blankly, the explosions beside him continued to rise, and the bullets kept sliding through the air around him. The bullet rubbing against the air seemed to raise the temperature in the air a lot, so that Yamashita Shigetaro couldn't feel the biting cold wind in the slightest.

He staggered and continued to walk, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, he opened his eyes with great difficulty, and another cannonball fell not far in front of him, and the cannonball fell on the snow and raised a large area of snowflakes mixed with the soil, and began to fall melodiously after rising into the air, it was so similar to the scene of cherry blossoms falling in the wind in his hometown, and Noriko could still be seen in the cherry blossoms, she was just standing under the cherry blossom tree, the breeze made the cherry blossoms in front of her fly, raising her hair, and he seemed to be able to see her smile, She was waving to herself, seemingly shouting her name.

It was as if I had heard the words again: "You must come back!" ”

The girl's eyes were full of anticipation, she was expecting him to give her a promise, and he just stood in front of him without saying anything, just smiled, complaining about her worries.

The air was already filled with the smell of gunsmoke, not only pungent but also dazzling, the heavy eyes seemed to be stimulated to leave tears, the moist eyes blurred his vision, he seemed to see her crying, the tears left crossed her face, stretched out his hand to wipe her tears.

Then he continued to smile and poured her into his arms, whispering in her ear: "I'll be back, wait for me!" ”

The cherry blossom petals continue to fall on the cherry blossom trees, and then fall into the dirt in the breeze and turn into spring mud.

Stepping over a corpse, Gentaro Yamashita's already confused vision seemed to find a familiar face, but when it was said that the young and immature face was now bloodless, he was lying on his back on the snow, and his chest was already covered with blood.

I still remember that before boarding a ship in Korea at home, he and his comrades-in-arms drank in a tavern, talking about how many feats he would make in the war and how many tanks he would destroy in the war.

In the gloomy tavern, seven or eight of them toasted together: "For the great cause of the imperial kingdom!" ”

However, the war has only been going on for more than a month, and the people around him, when the high-spirited group of people are already ten years old, maybe only he is still alive.

Gentaro Yamashita stopped, ignoring the bullets whizzing around him, let alone the explosions that were only a few meters away from him, he squatted down and turned over the young corpse on the ground, and finally pulled out a photo from his pocket, the photo showed seven or eight young people standing in a row in military uniforms, and Mototaro Yamashita was one of the above, the young man in the photo looked serious, and his eyes were full of anticipation of war, full of anticipation of victory.

Putting the photo in his pocket, Gentaro Yamashita continued to walk forward, his steps were getting slower and slower, his eyelids seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and Noriko's voice seemed to appear in his ears again, she was shouting her name, she was crying and calling her name, Gentaro Yamashita wanted to tell her that he would go back, but he couldn't open his mouth, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't speak.

It seems that all the strength has been exhausted.

When he woke up from the darkness shouting Noriko's name, he found that he was already in a simple house, and before he could take a closer look, there was a sharp pain on his body, and he opened his eyes with great difficulty, and found that he was not alone in the room, and the dense beds were full of wounded soldiers.

"How are you?" At this time, a male nurse came over and asked.

Instead of answering his question, Gentaro Yamashita asked, "How is the front line, are we holding it?" ”

The male nurse who was questioned was obviously stunned, and then his face turned painful: "The defense line on the periphery of Pyongyang has been broken through by the Shina people, and the front-line troops have now withdrawn to Pyongyang!" ”

Upon hearing this, Gentaro Yamashita was at a loss, and then shouted angrily, "How is this possible? How can this be? We've sacrificed so many people, and my friends are all dead, how can we not hold on? ”

Shouting, tears poured down!
