At noon, over the Jiangyin fortress, sixteen Japanese planes roared in two formations from the direction of Changshu. Ouyang Yun stood on the Huangshan Fort, and after carefully looking at the model of the Japanese machine through the telescope, his face became a little difficult to look at.

Of the sixteen fighters, 12 were brand new models. Not only is this fighter significantly larger than the older one next to it, but it also has two cannons under the nose.

The reason why Ouyang Yun had to observe so carefully was because he had to make a judgment based on the actual situation such as the scale of the Japanese aircraft - how much anti-aircraft firepower would be "sacrificed" on this day.

After figuring out the strength of the Japanese aircraft, he began to worry that today's offensive and defensive battle would most likely deviate from his preset track - it was not a question of how much anti-aircraft firepower he wanted to "sacrifice", but whether he could retain his strength as expected while repelling the Japanese attack.

The battle plan of the Japanese aircraft was clearly planned, and the formation in front rushed directly to the fleet, and in the process, anti-aircraft artillery fire rang out. Thirteen anti-aircraft positions opened fire almost simultaneously, and the formation of the Japanese aircraft was immediately scattered, which, of course, may have been deliberately dispersed by them, because, obviously, their target was not the fleet, but the air defense positions. The Japanese planes of the first formation quickly pulled up and turned back, and immediately after, the eight fighters of the second formation quickly divided into four formations and dived down towards the four air defense positions closest to them.

The Japanese army had obviously made careful arrangements for this bombing operation, because the first wave dropped was napalm, Ouyang Yun saw this scene from the peephole of the air-raid shelter, and immediately closed his eyes sadly. The scene he was most worried about still appeared, and he lamented in his heart: Did he really change history? It was not the side of the dynasty - the Japanese army not only developed a new type of fighter, but also mastered the technique of napalm. How scary is napalm? It can be seen from the flames lit on the four bombed air defense positions - those four positions, one of which is a real air defense position, the size of the troops stationed there has reached two battalions, but there is a densely wooded area, and as the gasoline napalm explodes, these trees have also become the enemies of the Cadet Army-the terrible thing about the gasoline napalm is that once it burns, it is basically impossible to extinguish except for yellow sand or professional fire extinguishing agents. It is impossible for the troops to carry these professional fire extinguishing agents when they are fighting outside, and a very important reason is that although the soldiers are in the sea of fire and even have a fire on their bodies, their first thought is not to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but to continue fighting.

The sea of fire burned one by one, and the entire river defense line suddenly became a hell on earth. It should be said that compared with other units in the country, the endurance of the cadet officers and men is still very strong, after all, this is also part of their daily training. But when the whole body is enveloped in flames, not everyone can still maintain their sanity. Screams rang out over the anti-aircraft positions where the fire was burning, and at the same time, the anti-aircraft artillery fire intensified! "Avenge your brothers!" - Such shouts can be heard almost everywhere in thirteen anti-aircraft positions. After witnessing such a tragic situation, the naval fleet also started its engines one after another and drove the ships over to support the cadet army.

Ouyang Yun pondered for a while, picked up the microphone and gave this order: "I order, all combatants can withdraw from the battlefield on their own, in this battle, you are not deserters!" ”

Liu Zheliang commanded the operational staff to convey the order, but Ouyang Yun did not see a large-scale retreat from the peeping hole. He just saw a lot of burning fire balls jumping into the Yangtze River, but even so, the fire on those soldiers was not extinguished, and if they were a little smarter, they would go to the bottom of the water, but more people, they were dying before entering the river, so after jumping into the Yangtze River, they never woke up.

The anti-air raid battle lasted only half an hour, and in the end, the Japanese lost seven fighters, but they also achieved their intended goal, almost completely destroying the anti-aircraft fire of the Cadet Corps. Of course, if those pseudo-positions were not included, because there were not enough bombs, the Japanese army used machine guns and machine guns to attack those pseudo-positions, so that they achieved relatively few results. All the cadets lost was some woodwork.

"What hell is like like with a nose, but that's it. However, in the face of the vicious bombs of the Japanese army, our heroic soldiers did not flinch, and some of the soldiers had already burned fire, but they still stuck to their combat posts - the seven fighters lost by the Japanese army, at least three of them were shot down by these warriors in flames, "......" - "Cadet Army War Report" and "Guangdong Times" jointly reported on the spot.

This tragic battle that took place in the Jiangyin fortress spread throughout China the next day. In the face of the tremendous sacrifices made by the cadet soldiers, various political parties in China have sent letters of praise and condolences. Among them, Zhang Xueliang even removed more than a dozen military doctors from the Northeast Army's army to Nanjing, and rushed to Jiangyin to help the Xuebing Army treat the wounded.

It had been three hours since the end of the battle, and the flames had not been extinguished in those burning positions. The battle damage statistics came out, and it was a battle, and the Cadet Corps lost 1,358 killed and 319 seriously wounded, and the wounded were even more difficult to estimate.

In the courtyard of the Xuebing Army Field Hospital in Jiangyin City, Ouyang Yun walked past the bodies of fallen soldiers who had been covered with white cloths, and once shed painful tears.

The evil consequences of the lack of intelligence, I had known that the Japanese army had already mastered the technology of manufacturing napalm, then this would definitely be taken into account in the setting of air defense positions, and then the casualties would not have been so miserable. The Cadet Army has fought a lot of vicious battles, but it is the first time that the casualties in a single battle have been so heavy, and what is unwilling, this time the Japanese army only sent 16 fighters. Although the result of shooting down seven enemy planes was achieved, it was really insignificant compared to the huge casualties.

Minister Chen Shaokuan originally wanted to return to Nanjing, but it was delayed because of this battle. Seeing such tragic casualties in the Xuebing Army, he felt very uncomfortable, and walked to Ouyang Yun's side, he said, "Commander Ouyang Yun, mourn." Your army's air defense is seriously damaged, what should we do next? ”

Ouyang Yun turned his head to look at him, and said word by word: "Blood debt naturally needs to be tasted in blood!" I, Ouyang Yun, am a person who holds grudges, the Japanese have napalm, but we don't have them? Minister Chen, you wait and see! I'll teach the Japanese a hard lesson! ”

Chen Shaokuan originally had considerable expectations for the air defense capability of the Cadet Army, but through this battle, he saw the reality clearly, and when he heard him say this, he only thought that he was saying angry words. He was most worried about the safety of the fleet now, and he sighed and said, "I'm worried now!" What if the Japanese army uses such shells against our fleet? In that case, we won't be able to fight back at all. ”

Ouyang Yun frowned and didn't squeak - this was indeed a difficult problem. And what he was thinking about the most at the moment was the source of the Japanese army's bomb.

This is because, as far as the information he has, the technology of manufacturing napalm is currently only possessed by the military and the US military. And the skills of the US military are precisely obtained from the cadet army.

Just three months ago, the Cadet Army and the U.S. Army exchanged some military skills that each side had mastered on their own. The reason why he approved the handover of the technology of manufacturing napalm to the Americans was that it would not be long before the Americans would master the technology themselves, and they would be happy to do a good job. Now it seems that he was very wrong in his handling of this matter. He overestimated the character of the U.S. government and, at the same time, underestimated the public relations capabilities of the Japanese government. And the only thing he hopes now is that these bombs were not made by the Japanese themselves, but purchased from the United States - fate is still fairer to Ouyang Yun. The bombs were indeed sold by American businessmen to the Japanese, and they were privately traded. The reason why these powerful bombs were used in the battle of Jiangyin Fortress was because the Japanese already knew that it was the Xuebing Army that was now stationed in the fortress.

It seems that the Japanese also hate the Cadet Army. In the newspapers of the second day in Japan, the news of the heavy damage to the student army appeared on the front page, and the attention of the Japanese media was even greater than that of the war in Nanjing.

Regarding the sentence of teaching the Japanese a painful lesson, Ouyang Yun did not say it casually, he already had an idea about this matter. And with the previous failed plan, this time, he will not tell anyone.

He is going to give the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy a black tiger to dig out his heart!

That night, the Japanese army carried out another air raid on the naval fleet, but because the Cadet Army imposed martial law on the river defense area, it was unable to obtain the guidance and support of the traitors. In the end, the eight Japanese planes came and went in a hurry after dropping a few bombs indiscriminately. And on this seemingly calm night, under the personal supervision of Ouyang Yun, the Xuebing Army was carrying out a somewhat large-scale project.

Tomorrow is destined to be a fierce battle.

With the failure of the enemy's weak plan, the Japanese army will definitely launch a joint attack by sea and air in advance. After all, once the Jiangyin fortress was taken, then the Japanese ships would be able to threaten Nanjing directly up and down the pass, which would obviously be of great help to the large Japanese army attacking Nanjing. And after successfully destroying the anti-aircraft fire of the Xuebing Army, the naval ships of the national army and the Jiangyin fortress were tantamount to being uncovered - there is no doubt that in this judgment, not only Ouyang Yun is clear, but the Japanese are also very clear. Therefore, Ouyang Yun will personally supervise the work tonight, so that the soldiers and soldiers who are still trapped in great grief can engage in strong physical labor.
