Chapter 606: Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang (23)

On April 29, Taierzhuang, the Segu detachment and the new 38th Brigade were in full swing, and the sky over Wuhan was blue, with rare clouds, and it was as unmoved as a still life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the morning, everything was normal.

At noon, the wind is calm.

In the afternoon, a large number of Japanese planes flying from the Wuhu airport approached the skies near Wuhan, and the air defense sirens of the three towns sounded sharply again.

This is not the first time that Japanese planes have attacked Wuhan, and whenever Japanese planes attack and Chinese fighters meet the enemy, there are always some brave soldiers who forget the danger, or push open the windows, or climb on the roof, or stop and watch on the street.

Buzzing......

After the siren, a large group of Japanese planes flew over from the southeast, and the sky seemed to be darkened all of a sudden.

Thirty-six Japanese planes, the second air force of the Japanese Navy, this is still the first wave!

Immediately afterwards, another wave of Japanese planes flew over from the southeast, and the citizens below were panicked.

This time the air raids clearly exceeded the scale of previous ones.

Just when the first wave of Japanese planes flew over Wuhan, the first batch of Chinese fighters at Wangjiadun Airport quickly took to the air to intercept them, a total of 27 planes.

Although the number of Chinese fighters is less than that of the Japanese fighters, all the Chinese fighters are the latest fighters Yi 15 and Yi 16 aided by Soviet Russia, these two types of fighters are the latest models aided by Soviet Russia, the former is a biplane fighter, with a speed of 360 kilometers per hour and a stay time of two and a half hours in the air, mainly used for air combat, and the latter is a monoplane fighter with a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour and a stagnation time of two hours in the air, which is suitable for air pursuit.

Both of these aircraft are the latest fighters developed by Soviet Russia, and Soviet Russia itself has limited equipment, and basically pulled them directly from the production line to China.

The Japanese were the first batch of 36 aircraft, but they were a mixed fleet of bombers and fighters, and in comparison, although there were only 27 planes on the Chinese side, they were all fighters, so in fact, the advantage was still on the Chinese side.

On the Chinese side, the 4th Air Force Brigade and the Soviet Russian Volunteer Flying Team were all excellent pilots, and they had been prepared well before they had insight into the Japanese bombing plan.

Therefore, before the Japanese planes began bombing, the Chinese fighters had already taken to the air to meet the attack.

The Japanese aircraft did not expect the Chinese side to react so quickly, as if they had been waiting for them in the sky of Wuhan for a long time, and they were confused for a while.

"Lao Wu, bite it, ...... quickly"

"Left front, a bomber, fire!"

"Make a U-turn and pull up the ......"

Da Da Da ......

A Japanese fighter plane was blown up, a thick flame rose in the air, and the pilot screamed and connected the plane to the rolling Yangtze River below.

The Chinese Air Force fighter was also shot, emitting black smoke, and swaying about to leave the battlefield, at this time the two Japanese fighters frantically chased after them.

Behind him there were fighters of the Chinese Air Force.

Fierce chase, life and death hanging by a thread, blood sprinkled in the sky!

The battle was far more tragic than expected, and the Japanese tried to congratulate their Emperor on his birthday with the bombing of Wuhan as a gift, and they counted the beginning, but not the end.

In the air battle, 23 Japanese fighters were shot down, 50 Japanese pilots were killed, and two people were captured alive after parachuting.

Cheng Huaimin, a 21-year-old Air Force pilot, fought with four enemy planes, and after shooting down one enemy plane, he was besieged by five enemy planes. After being hit by a bullet in the fuselage and catching fire, he gave up hope of surviving the parachute jump and rushed towards the enemy plane, killing himself with the enemy.

The air battle was a great victory, and the people of Wuhan were enthusiastic, and people from all walks of life launched a meeting to congratulate the victory.

The news of the victory in the Wuhan air battle is also a huge encouragement to the new 38th Brigade that is fighting in Taierzhuang, an air battle in Taierzhuang, an air battle in Wuhan!

Both wars were won by the arrogant and invincible Japanese Air Force, and the prestige of the Chinese Air Force was also displayed.

The Taierzhuang battlefield was already in a state of stalemate, and although the Japanese army occupied half of Taierzhuang City, it was difficult to push forward further.

The two sides are so consumed, and no one can help the other.

Unexpectedly, the first ammunition was short of the Japanese army, Furong Zhenping kept urging the rear to hurry up and transport ammunition, but the railway and highway from Jinan to Yanzhou were destroyed by the guerrillas and the GMD army, and there were difficulties in supply!

This not only made the Fukuei Daisa at the front anxious, but also Kei Seya and Ryosuke Isoya were also full of treasures, and they could only keep urging the logistics department of the Second Army and constantly dispatching transport teams for them.

Wu Shaozhou's pistol brigade, which was fighting guerrillas in Jinan, frequently attacked the Japanese army's logistical baggage troops, and achieved great results, making the Japanese army's logistics supply in Taierzhuang seriously difficult!

There's a problem with logistics, it's a big problem!

Soldiers running out of ammunition will inevitably reduce their combat effectiveness, and this is an obvious problem, and the officers and men on the front line are the most aware of it, because the enemy's movements are under their noses.

"This afternoon, the Japanese army's attack intensity has obviously weakened a little, will the Japanese army adjust its tactics next?" In the headquarters of the new 38 brigade, Luo Yufeng summoned the main commanders of each regiment to a brief military meeting.

"In the past few days, although the Japanese army has been attacking fiercely, their casualties are not small, at least not less than ours." Zhu Yaming, the second head of the regiment, said.

"The Japanese army is menacing, and it is inevitable to win Taierzhuang, will it be bad to hold back?"

"Judging from the current tactics of the Japanese army, there are no special changes, and they are still the same, but I heard that this Seya Kai is more cunning, and if he really has some bad intentions, he really can't help but guard against it."

"In addition to outflanking, I don't think there is any way to break the situation without eating the Japanese army?"

"Old Wu, I want to remove all the remaining people from the group tonight and put the independent regiment on top, how about it?" Luo Yufeng said to Wu Youyuan, the head of the regiment who was silent.

"I have no opinion, but I don't know if the independent regiment can take on such a heavy responsibility!"

"Wu Youyuan, what do you mean, saying that my independent regiment is a bad seed?" As soon as Shi Wenlong, the head of the independent regiment, heard this, he stood up and asked Wu Youyuan.

"Shi Wenlong, what are you doing, Captain Wu didn't mean that!" Qin Yankun shouted.

Shi Wenlong sat down stupidly, he also knew that there was still a gap between the independent regiment and the first regiment, but it couldn't be looked down upon.

"The independent regiment was transferred to the city, and it was also commanded by Wu Youyuan, Wenlong, you should be Lao Wu's deputy!" Luo Yufeng ordered without question.

"Yes!"

"No matter what tricks the Japanese play, we are now responding to all changes with the same attitude, guarding Taierzhuang and not allowing the Japanese army to cross the canal, which is our duty to come to Taierzhuang." Luo Yufeng said, "If you have any needs, you can mention them now." ā€

"Can you equip my regiment with disposable gas masks?"

"This request is very reasonable, Quartermaster General, issue a gas mask to everyone in the Independent Regiment!" Luo Yufeng nodded, fighting in the city, he really needs a gas mask.

The Japanese army has not used this inhumane means of warfare at one time, and if it were not for this kind of gas mask, it is estimated that many people would have died in the new 38 brigade.

"Yes, I'll immediately transfer a batch from the warehouse to Captain Shi."

"There are too few first aid kits, can you distribute some?"

The quartermaster had a sneering face, he was in charge of munitions, but he didn't care about production, if there was this, he could only send it, if not, he couldn't change it.

"How much is left?"

"A few hundred, or left for emergencies."

"Send it all down, and then I'll figure it out." Qin Yankun is in charge of the quartermaster, and he is the only one who has to find a way to deal with this matter, which is related to the lives of soldiers, he just begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and he also wanted to get a batch of first-aid kits.

In fact, they carry a lot of them, but the key is that they can't stand the consumption, the casualties are too great, and a first-aid kit for a soldier is simply not enough.

The 30,000 first-aid kits were almost consumed in just five or six days, and there were only a few hundred emergency ones left, which were still hard-deducted by the quartermaster.

"Do you still have grenades?"

"The wooden handle has enough, but the melon grenade is gone."

"I'll ask for a wooden handle, and give me five hundred boxes!" Liu Guichun, the head of the third regiment, opened his mouth directly.

"Five hundred boxes, not so many, I'll give you two hundred boxes at most!"

"Three hundred boxes!"

"Three hundred boxes is three hundred boxes!"

"Nothing else, then disperse, Lao Wu and Wenlong stay!" Luo Yufeng got up and announced.

In the battle of Guoliji, Li Delin also got the news that the "Tang" army and the Japanese army encountered in Guoliji, and there was a fierce battle, and the commander of the fifth theater judged that the Seya detachment wanted to join the Sakamoto detachment in Linyi in Taierzhuang.

This is the worst-case scenario, and on the Linyi side, Zhang and Pang also reported that the Japanese army has increased the Sakamoto detachment in Juxian, and the Japanese army has begun to actively attack again, and the vanguard has arrived in Tangtou Town!

In Tangtou Town, the vanguard of the Japanese army had already fought fiercely with Lao Pang's 40th Army, and Lao Pang would have been unable to support it if he hadn't bought a batch of second-hand weapons and ammunition from Leng Feng before.

The Sakamoto detachment, which had received support, not only greatly increased its strength, but also more than doubled its firepower, and Zhang and Pang felt the pressure doubled.

The sum of their two troops was less than 30,000 people, and in the face of the Japanese army of nearly 10,000 people, it was really very good, even Fan Songpu's 46th Army felt that the total strength did not exceed 50,000.

In fact, these 50,000 people look huge, and in terms of the quality of the soldiers and the weapons and equipment, they are too much inferior to the Japanese army.

Zhang and Pang had been fighting hard in Linyi for more than ten days before, and they had a certain advantage, but this advantage disappeared with the increase of Japanese troops.

In the next step, the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army will definitely attack Linyi with all its might, take the passage to march to Taierzhuang, and join Xuzhou.

The question is, how long can Zhang, Pang, and Fan hold out in Linyi?

This is not only a problem for them to consider, but also a problem faced by the Fifth Theater, Leng Feng is also thinking about it, and he has received a surprise news more than the commanders and leaders of the Fifth Theater Command.

The reinforcements under the personal command of Seishiro Itagaki have come to Linyi.

The truth of this news has not yet been confirmed, but Leng Feng feels that it is more credible, Sakagaki has already decided on the position of director of education of the army, and before leaving, he can also add luster to his resume.

If he could capture Linyi before he left office and returned to Tokyo to fulfill his duties, it would naturally be the best.
