Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 379 Reappearance of Bravery

Tantai Mingyue knew Tang Dao well enough.

Standing in the woods, looking at the truck that was speeding up on the simple road, Tang's heart was pierced like a knife.

The seventeen truck drivers were all selected from various departments of the advance regiment according to his order.

They have personally experienced the Battle of Songjiang, and no one knows how terrifying the power of the 250 kg aerial bomb is better than them.

When an aerial bomb comes down, all creatures within half a football field with a diameter of 30 meters will be wiped out. No matter whether you are hiding in a trench or in a car, the scattered shrapnel and huge shock waves formed by the explosion are only the most superficial damage, causing huge damage. The vibration can easily shatter the internal organs of the human body within this range into pieces, and no one is spared.

That also means that they, who are the most obvious targets, will definitely receive the attention of the Japanese machine, and the probability of death is almost 100%.

But the 17 people still did not hesitate, and after leaving a suicide note, they boarded the truck.

Before the arrival of the Japanese plane, they ran at full speed. Naturally, they hoped that the convoy would break away from the infantry of the advance team, while trying to consume the heavy bombs of the Japanese plane, and at the same time give the infantry who hid in the woods and scattered into the wilderness a little more chance of survival. .

And Yang Bicheng, who was crouching under a hilly ditch, looked up at the racing convoy and cried again.

Looking at those who left without hesitation, he thought of his cousin again.

Two days ago, his third brother drove the truck in this way, lured the Japanese plane down from the sky, and successfully broke the backbone of the Japanese plane formation, so that he and his comrades survived.

And now, almost exactly the same scene reappears.

Only this time, there were more brave people like his cousin.

Not only the trucks still driving on the main road, but also the cavalry dragging branches and fleeing into the wilderness.

Those cavalrymen and their war horses could have hid in the woods like them, but they couldn't. After they unloaded the heavy equipment carried on the horses, according to the military order of Chief Tang Dao Tang, they had to flee further away.

Firstly, it was necessary to create the illusion that there were many people on the ground, and secondly, because the target was obvious, the Japanese aircraft could be taken away from the infantry gathering area.

Fewer deaths in exchange for more lives, this is Tang Dao's tactic.

However, when thinking of these elites who could have killed more Japanese invaders, they could only become cannon fodder like this. Like Yang Bicheng, countless soldiers all looked at the figures of their comrades who were trying to earn a chance for themselves. Weeping, I buried my head in pain, not wanting to watch that heart-wrenching scene.

On the battlefield, sacrifices are inevitable, but if you watch your comrades choose to use their bodies to block the bullets that shoot at them, it will be an unforgettable pain for any soldier.

Even if they survived by luck, in this life, they will live in the shadows.

But now, they have to suffer and try to survive.

Because they are also the shield of another group of people, which is an order and a responsibility.

But as a commander, Tang Dao, who stood upright like a pine and turned his back to all his soldiers, was not only suffering from his own choice, but also anxious.

20 minutes ago, he received a secret telegram from Lieutenant General Wu: After fighting for it from the theater command, the Air Force will send fighter planes to protect the Baihegang Bridge.The intelligence agents in the Songhu area had already sent a secret message to Jinling when the Japanese plane took off on the sea. If there were no accidents, the air force's support should arrive on the battlefield soon.

Tang Dao was greatly relieved by the news that the air force was about to come to help, but no one knew when they arrived on the battlefield. all over.

Not only was the loss of the advance regiment horrific, but what was even more frightening was that after the Japanese plane formation dropped its load and re-lifted into the high altitude, the Chinese fighter planes that entered the battlefield later would completely lose their only chance to win.

The Chinese Air Force has suffered heavy losses in the two-month air battle. If they can send 10 fighters to participate in the battle this time, it may be the limit that Jinling can bear.

But now there are only Japanese planes in sight, and there are already close to 20 planes. Maybe there will be a second wave of planes in the future. Thinking about this, with Tang Dao's tenacity, I can't help sweating on my forehead at this time.

Even if he is a little butterfly who travels from the future, is proficient in various special operations tactics, knows all kinds of general trends in this time and space, and has participated in defensive battles with thousands or even tens of thousands of people, but in this battle-level battle On the battlefield, no matter in the future or in the present, he is still a rookie.

Tang Dao did not expect the Japanese naval commander to be so resolute. In the first wave of attacks, he invested two squadrons. There may be more fighters arriving later, just to bomb the 100,000 people who were chased by 20,000 people. It doesn't talk about Wude at all!
You must know that the largest air battle since the war between China and Japan was not in Songhu at this time, but in the defense of Wuhan a year later, the Japanese army dispatched 36 fighter jets and 18 bombers, and the Chinese side dispatched 48 fighter jets.

But that, but the two sides also invested nearly 150 million troops in the big battle, unlike now, it is just a corner of the battlefield!

As for the fact that Lei Xiong's troops beat down 6 Japanese planes in one fell swoop by relying on the ground anti-aircraft guns in an ambush battle the day before yesterday, it's not so much a good strategy, it's better to say that the Japanese are too arrogant and conceited to kill themselves, plus Lei Xiong and others were out of luck , Even Niu Er can kill a Japanese plane with one shot.

Otherwise, one-third of the surviving Baihe Port defenders would have died.

The nearly 20 Japanese planes that are rushing now will never be fooled by that evil again. Tang Dao even dared to conclude that they will use some Japanese planes to bomb the infantry, while the other part will wait for the anti-aircraft guns to fire, and then drop bombs to kill the infantry. After destroying it, use bombs and machine guns to kill pure infantry.

There is nothing wrong with Tang Dao's idea.

Even if he had already made sufficient preparations, he sent a secret call to Lei Xiong last night to transfer over his seven anti-aircraft guns, nine modified anti-aircraft machine guns, and two MG7s with long barrels. An air defense battalion was established with 9 Oerlikon machine guns and 34 anti-aircraft machine guns.

The strength is at least twice as strong as the day before yesterday, but Tang Dao is still not sure that these ground weapons alone can block the Japanese bombing.

He had won once by luck and the negligence of his opponents, but as a commander, Tang Dao couldn't pin all his soldiers' lives on it.

What's more, because it was impossible to determine when the Japanese plane would arrive, Tang Dao almost broke the boat. A total of 19 anti-aircraft guns and 23 anti-aircraft machine guns, together with personnel, were exposed in the wilderness by carriages and six cavalry companies.

If the Japanese plane cannot be found 3 minutes in advance, and the Japanese plane launches an attack as soon as it arrives, then Tang Dao's only sharp arrow that can counterattack the Japanese plane will be completely finished.

Fortunately, the second-class soldier "Hammer" lived up to his trust. The watchdogs domesticated in China for thousands of years may have average combat effectiveness, but their hearing is definitely good.

Using these 3 minutes, the fleeing carriages and cavalry placed all kinds of anti-aircraft heavy firepower and personnel in the woods and bushes along the way, giving them the opportunity to aim their guns at high altitudes.

However, this time they didn't have perfect fortifications, and their defensive power was zero. Not to mention the terrible bombs hanging under the wings of the Japanese plane, even with the machine gun installed on the nose, they could easily kill them in the wild.

Once fired, the anti-aircraft artillery shooters are similar to the hand-to-hand combat of infantry rushing out of the trenches with bayonets, while the opponent is a Japanese firepower point with high speed and maneuverability.

The one who can decide the outcome of the battlefield this time is still the Chinese Air Force, which will arrive at some unknown time.

Tang Dao did what he could, and left the rest to fate.

And fate is so wonderful.

In order to cover up his humiliating battle, the commander of the Japanese Navy’s Third Fleet, Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, told the fleet that twelve fighter planes had been dispatched the day before yesterday and only six planes had returned. Major Junji Watanabe, who was on another aircraft carrier, therefore The ground firepower possessed by the Chinese military has not caused particularly high vigilance.

The six Japanese HNA pilots who could remind him were silenced by cold ridicule as soon as they spoke because their military ranks were too low.

Of the 18 Japanese fighter planes rushing aggressively, except for the six nine-six warships that maintained a high degree of vigilance, the remaining four nine-six warships and eight warplanes were still arrogant and arrogant.

So, Goddess of Luck, hit the Chinese soldiers so flickeringly again.

Even Tang Dao could only be dumbfounded and think that this might be the benefit specially given to him as a traveler by the bosses who sent him to this time and space!
Otherwise, he really couldn't find any other reason.
