"Please note, all aircraft, our unit will arrive at the designated destination in ten minutes. Please lower the altitude and prepare to drop bombs!"
At an altitude of several thousand meters, a group of Stuka dive bombers were piloting at high altitude, and there was a squadron of Zero fighters escorting them outside.
The dive bombers of this squadron were the dive bombers that went to claim support.
They arrived quickly in ten minutes. When they arrived, there was a large group of soldiers preparing for the little devil's offensive position.
Needless to say, the purpose of these little devils is to start the attack after the shelling is over.
However, at this time, there was also constant shelling on the positions behind the Japs.
From the looks of it, it is clear that the divisional running regiment of the 1st Infantry Division is shelling, but these artillerymen are newly trained artillerymen. They are still conducting test firings and then adjusting the coordinates.
There is no way around this. The division-affiliated running regiment of the 1st Infantry Division is not like the artillery regiments of old infantry divisions such as the 132nd Division. They can quickly determine the artillery positions of the Japs based on the trajectories of the Japs
¡°Woo~woo~¡±
¡°Woo~woo~¡±
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound sounded from the Little Japanese artillery position. With such a loud movement on the Little Japanese artillery position, the dive bomber pilots in the sky could naturally see it clearly.
"Ba~ga~zhi, the air force, retreat immediately! Request support from the Army Aviation!"
The captain of the field artillery unit on the Xiaojiazi artillery position shouted immediately when he saw the dive bomber appearing in the sky.
And he also wanted to move the artillery position immediately after yelling.
It¡¯s just that the dive bomber¡¯s sharpness exceeded their expectations.
In the sound of explosions, the little Japanese's field artillery regiment was blown to pieces. The entire position was filled with the sound of constant explosions, which was the sound of artillery shells exploding.
When the dive bombers were almost destroyed, the little Japanese¡¯s thirty-odd Nakajima Type 97 fighters arrived belatedly.
And as soon as they arrived, twenty-five Zero fighters lurking in the clouds immediately jumped out and launched an attack on the Little Japanese fighters.
????????????????
When an air battle was going on over Xuancheng and an artillery battle was going on on the ground, Zhou Weiguo, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army in Nanjing, was still busy.
With the outbreak of the war, the entire group army headquarters was full of hurried staff officers. They were gathering various information documents one after another, and then filtered out important documents and telegrams and sent them to Zhou Weiguo or Yang Jie.
"Chief! We have figured it out. The Japs attacking in Xuancheng are the 51st Division and the 52nd Division, and there is a 53rd Division behind them. However, according to the information obtained by our intelligence personnel, the Japs are in There are not many troops in the direction of Xuancheng.
I¡¯m afraid their purpose is more to attract our attention. If I¡¯m not mistaken, the real main direction of the Japs¡¯ attack is still in Wuxi! "
At this time, Yang Jie was holding the telegram in one hand and gesticulating on the map on the table with the other.
Zhou Weiguo stood there wearing a slightly gray summer uniform.
"I know that the little devils in Xuancheng are just preparing to confuse our sight."
Zhou Weiguo looked at the map without any other expression on his face. After saying this, he turned his attention to the Huainan area.
"Give power to the 132nd Division and ask it to retreat to the front line from Huaiyuan County to Huaishang District on the other side of Bengfu. Give up all the rest of the territory north of the Huaihe River! In addition, send power to Huang Zhentao's Second Heavy Artillery Division and ask him to rush to Bengfu immediately to support where. 132nd Division and other units.¡±
Zhou Weiguo's eyes were as cold as ever, and he was not surprised by the little devil's sudden attack.
"General, if the Second Heavy Artillery Division is also sent to Bengfu, then we will have only one Third Heavy Artillery Division south of the Yangtze River. Du Qingming's First Heavy Artillery Division and Huang Zhentao's Second Heavy Artillery Division are both in Bengfu!"
Yang Jie frowned and said.
"In this battle, the most important thing is air superiority! The heavy artillery division cannot play a big role south of the Yangtze River. The Japanese naval guns are too powerful. Our 155-caliber artillery cannot reach the Japanese naval guns, and they can easily be blown up by the Japanese." Destroy it, leaving one heavy artillery division is enough."
When Zhou Weiguo said this, he paused and then said again: "Combat staff! Record the order! Order the 134th Division on standby in Wuxi to immediately launch an attack on the Japs in front of you. Tell Zhang Zongling that the purpose of this attack is notTo let him capture Suzhou, he would have to consume the Japanese troops.
Then send electricity to Liu Suigang and ask his air force to dispatch immediately to obtain air superiority over Wuxi.
Even if the Japs send a thousand fighter planes, we will send a thousand more. In addition, the main force of the dive bombing brigade also assembled in Wuxi. Even if I use cannonballs to pile up, the little devils will still be piled up to death! "
"yes!"
On July 20, 1938, the Japs launched an attack on the First Infantry Division in Xuancheng. However, the First Infantry Division used powerful firepower to block the Japs' attack.
Subsequently, starting from the next day, that is, July 21, the Eighty-eighth Group Army abandoned most of the area north of the Huaihe River and retreated to the Huaihe River.
And on the frontal battlefield in Nanjing.
The 134th Division stationed in Wuxi began to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army, and the heavy artillery division also participated in the artillery battle here.
Subsequently, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army Air Force joined the battle, and the Japanese army was not to be outdone and sent aircraft to assist in the battle.
The two sides engaged in an air battle over Wuxi in which the little Japanese was suppressed.
Since the performance of pilots and aircraft is completely better than that of the Little Devil Army, the Little Devil can only continue to send more aircraft to assist in the battle.
The air battle between the two sides over Wuxi began to slowly become more and more fierce.
One after another Nakajima Type 97 fighter planes kept falling into the air.
And as the Eighty-Eighth Group Army and the Japs began to fight, the whole country once again kept a close eye on Zhou Weiguo.
This war concerning the fate of the country affects the hearts of countless Chinese people.
And countless reporters once again wanted to interview Zhou Weiguo.
To this end, Zhou Weiguo once again held a press conference in the Nanjing City Hall on the morning of July 23, 1938.
?¡
"General Zhou! Are you sure of winning this battle?"
A male reporter is looking at a notebook in his hand and has a camera hanging around his neck. He is the standard reporter of this era.
"No war is completely certain. War is like a gamble. If you win the bet, you win! If you lose the bet, you lose the war!"
Zhou Weiguo looked at the reporters below and said loudly.
"If the Eighty-eighth Army loses, what will you do?"
A female reporter with blond hair and blue eyes looked at Zhou Weiguo and said in some weird Chinese.
Zhou Weiguo knows her, a reporter from AFP!
"I think it is impossible for our army to lose this battle! So what to do if there is no future!"
"But you just said that war is like a gamble, so why do you think your army will not be defeated?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
