"Teacher, the team ahead can't stand it anymore! Retreat! You have to leave some seeds for our old brothers!"

Just before the eyes of several people, the front line of positions covered with gunpowder outside the Taiwan Strait had been hit by the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese. His own team could only silently endure the Japanese artillery fire while hiding in the broken positions. From time to time, the bodies of the hit soldiers would be exploded and thrown into the air.

Not far from the front line of ** is a large number of Japanese infantry. The Japanese established a starting position under their noses and rectified their teams, staring at the broken front line of positions that had been bombarded by artillery fire. There is no doubt that as long as the artillery fire stops, they will rush to their front line of positions like a tide. The reason why the Japanese dare to be so arrogant is that they are bullying the ** and not enough artillery can threaten them.

Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the 88th Division, who was inspecting the battle situation at the second-line position, could not help but frowned. He also knew that the front-line position of their division was now shaking after repeated attacks by the Japanese army. This time the Japanese attack took the time for artillery preparations so long, obviously to achieve the goal and decide the outcome in this attack to take down his own front-line position.

Understand the Japanese's plans and know that under this situation, it is difficult for his troops to defend the front line. Sun Yuanliang only regrets that he did not make up his mind to withdraw his troops earlier. But what is the effect of retreating now? Should he walk out of the position under such ammunition that is pouring into the sky? What is the difference between it and suicide?

Wait until the Japanese's shelling stopped before retreating? But the Japanese obviously bullied their lack of artillery, and the starting position was under their noses. Through the telescope, he could see the grim smile on the Japanese from the second-tier positions. Such a close distance would obviously not leave them the opportunity to retreat. I am afraid that as long as they retreat, the Japanese would immediately chase after them, and there was a high chance of retreating and defeat.

If it was the 88th German Equipment Division, which was full of people in the past, it might also rely on its own qualities to fight and retreat. But now, after the loss of the Battle of Shanghai, its 88th Division has conducted four or five replenishment times. Most of these so-called supplementary soldiers have only received the most basic training, can shoot, and can go in the queue. No matter what other tactical actions, tactical cooperation and other things are, and there are even some supplementary soldiers who are caught by the roadside, and they become supplementary soldiers when they are covered with skin. Even if they have to be trained to shoot, they have to be taught.

Although his 88th Division is still known as a German-armed division, there are actually very few elite soldiers who have received German training. The average veteran only accounts for 20% to 30% of the troops' posts. The overall combat effectiveness is no longer the same as at the beginning of the war, and at most it is only 40% or 50% of the war.

The most troublesome thing is that the psychological quality of these recruits who have been supplemented is extremely poor. They collapse at any time and cannot stop them. When the recruits collapse, they have no choice but to retreat. The reason why the front line of the front line can support them and have not yet been defeated is simply because Sun Yuanliang transferred most of the veterans to the formation, otherwise they would have been finished long ago.

Another dense shells fell on the front line of positions, and Sun Yuanliang felt bleeding. If he smashed like this, the backbone of their 88th Division would be broken!

Just when Sun Yuanliang felt that he was at a loss, he suddenly noticed that a group of black shadows were flying towards him in a formation. He couldn't help but feel even more distressed. He thought that the Japanese had invested a lot this time. Not only did the shells fight like they didn't have money, but they also created such a large-scale bomber formation to welcome them. This was simply a life-threatening life. Life really couldn't last!

It is no wonder that Sun Yuanliang regards these bombers as support from the Japanese. During the Battle of Songhu, the Qiongya Air Force was busy conquering Taiwan’s new fighter jets and competed with the Japanese, and had no spare time to take care of the direction of Songhu, so he could only allow the Japanese second-rate biplane old aircraft to perform their crimes.

By the time the overall situation in Taiwan was decided, the battle situation in the Songhu area had changed from the ** offensive Japanese defense to the Japanese offensive ** defense. At that time, the main task was not to use bombers to support the attack, but to raise as many fighter jets as possible to prevent the Japanese's aerial strikes.

Therefore, during that period, the Qiong Army fighter jets in the Songhu area were basically all fighter jets and rarely carried out ground attack missions. Recently, the Qiong Army bombers had just appeared in the sky for two days. Since most of the front-line airports near Songhu were occupied by the Japanese army, the Qiongya Air Force's combat aircraft that had lost the front-line base had to roam around, and it was even more difficult to see the Qiongya Air Force's aircraft in the sky. In addition, Sun Yuanliang had never called for air support at all. He really didn't think there would be such loving friendly troops. He didn't ask for help, and there were so many people.

However, what Sun Yuanliang didn't know was that in order to protect the remaining airports in Zhejiang Province, the Qiong Army had forcibly received these airports and arranged defenses through the transport aircraft air transport troops. As soon as the stable airport was obtained as a basis, a large number of bombers were allocated to land. The batch of bombers that Sun Yuanliang saw was the first group of bombers that had just rushed from Fujian to Zhejiang Province, and after replenishing fuel, they immediately took off for air combat without even resting.

Through the telescope, Sun Yuanliang saw the cheering smiles of Japanese soldiers, which made him even more desperate. When the bomber formation roared by, the Japanese soldiers standing on the ground even raised their rifles, took off their helmets and waved them towards the bomber formation. Obviously, the Japanese also did not think that these aircraft were the enemy.

However, what happened next made Sun Yuanliang stunned. He couldn't understand what was going on for a moment, because he saw that the bombers in the sky actually threw the bombs into the dense Japanese infantry queue that was preparing to launch an attack!

The bombshell that exploded in the crowd threw a large number of broken limbs and soil and gravel into the air, forming a bloody storm to the ground. Just as the two sides of the war were stunned, the bomber that had dropped the bomb still had no intention of returning to the ground with the bombs. It began to use the airborne machine gun to shoot wildly towards the ground!

In addition to attacking the infantry and blowing the Japanese starting position into red, this batch of bombers seemed to be not satisfied enough and divided a wave to attack the Japanese artillery positions that were being shelled. Because the enemy in front of him, the 88th Division no longer had large-caliber artillery, and the shelling lasted a long time this time, in order to facilitate the Japanese artillery, they unscrupulously piled up large numbers of shells directly on the artillery positions.

The stacking of artillery shells is naturally convenient for firing, but it also facilitates the bombing operation of the Qiongya Air Force. When the two bombs descended, the mountains of ammunition piled up on the Japanese artillery positions were detonated, and the subsequent explosions immediately blew the Japanese artillery positions into a sea of ​​fire.

The sudden change surprised Sun Yuanliang for a while. Then he saw an airplane leaving the formation and flying straight to the position of his 88th Division. It was not until this time that he could see clearly that the plane in the sky was actually a Qiong Army's C-47 transport plane! The plane in the sky was actually his own person!

When the Qiongya Air Force transport plane flew over the 88th Division's position opened the cabin door and threw the boxes one by one. Sun Yuanliang immediately realized that it was airdropping supplies, so he immediately turned his head and shouted at the guards beside him: "Hurry up! Let brothers pick up those boxes!"

It is not a complaint of Sun Yuanliang being so anxious. As a senior general of the **, he clearly knew that the Qiong Army's equipment was excellent. The supplies they dropped from the air must be good. If possible, Sun Yuanliang hoped that the box was full of medicines they urgently needed. The South General Luo started out with medicine, and the medicines used in his army were among the top in the world. Now, in this kind of chaos, he could get a few boxes of Qiongya medicines, which was a great skill!

When the airdropped supplies were obtained, Sun Yuanliang was indeed satisfied. Most of the boxes were filled with medicines. However, in addition to the medicines, there were some other things that were airdropped, including a living person!

"Is it Commander Sun? Hello, I am the lieutenant sent by the Qiong Army to the 88th Division. I am a surname Zhao." When I saw Sun Yuanliang, Lieutenant Zhao introduced himself.

"Lieutenant Zhao, liaison officer?" Sun Yuanliang asked a little strangely, "Aren't your Qiong Army's troops already destroyed and retired to Hangzhou*zhou for rest? Why did you send you to be the liaison officer? And what happened to those bombers? I don't seem to have asked for air support, right?"

In one breath, Sun Yuanliang asked all the questions in his heart, waiting for the answer from Lieutenant Zhao, the liaison officer of Qiongjun.

Lieutenant Zhao smiled slightly, and the first thing he said to Sun Yuanliang was suppressed: "Our main force of Qiong Army is ready to enter Zhejiang*jiang. There are 100,000 vanguard troops heading to Hangzhou*zhou in advance, and it is estimated that they will arrive in another week. The follow-up troops will be slower, but it will be almost half a month."

After hearing Lieutenant Zhao's words, Sun Yuanliang took a deep breath. He knew clearly what this meant. It was easy to ask God to send God to the gods. Why did the Nanjing man who had been worried about not allowing the Qiong Army troops to launch a large-scale assistance to Zhejiang? He wasn't he worried that they would not leave now? He has been here.

However, Sun Yuanliang was still wondering why Qiongjun came to him, so he asked again: "Why did you come to my small temple of the 88th Division? This is Yuhuatai, not Hangzhou. "

Lieutenant Zhao also said: "This place is indeed not Hangzhou, but Yu*hua*tai is the southern part of Nanjing. It is the front line that blocks the Japanese army's attack from Wu*hu. It is also the only way for us to reinforce the four divisions of Nanjing along the river. So my mission is to assist you in defending Yu*hua*tai and ensure that your front line will not be broken when the reinforcements attack Wu*huhu until the reinforcements arrive."

"You are the only one who wants to help us guard the Yuhua platform!" Sun Yuanliang said in surprise.

"No, I'm not alone, I'm just a liaison officer. What are really helping you is our Air Force and the Suzaku Airborne Division!" Lieutenant Zhao waved his hand and explained.

"Surf Bird Airborne Division!" This time, Sun Yuanliang was completely shocked. The reputation of the Suzaku Airborne Division was well-known. As one of the five main divisions of the Qiong Army, the combat effectiveness of this unit is of great significance in the world. It is secretly rumored that even the Germans were very jealous of this unit. "Why didn't you say it earlier? Even if you were to shoot a telegram!"

Thinking of his despair before, Sun Yuanliang couldn't help but complain to Lieutenant Zhao in front of him. Since such a powerful reinforcements were coming, why didn't he say hello? He had used many tricks to kill the enemy in one thousand and hurt himself by himself. Those brothers who died so much that they were all crawling out of the sea of ​​blood! If he had known that there were such a powerful reinforcements, would he have done anything!?

Lieutenant Zhao said helplessly: "You don't have our Qiong Army's radio password machine, so you can't solve our telegrams. Using your passwords, we are worried that the Japanese will decipher our combat situation will be exposed, so we let me come and serve as the liaison officer. If I operate the telegram machine, you can contact our troops.

Next, our Air Force will be responsible for supporting the combat operations of your 88th Division. If you have any requests, please make it as much as possible, but you should know. Now our support method to you can only be airdrops, so there are many restrictions."

Sun Yuanliang shook his head: "I have no requirements anymore. Just as your airborne master comes over quickly! Brothers really can't stand it!"

Seeing that Sun Yuanliang seemed to want to give up, Lieutenant Zhao said again: "The Suzaku Division will come here, but your front-line position will still have to be defended before that!"

"We still have to defend it!" Sun Yuanliang widened his eyes, and angrily pointed at a ruin comparable to the moon's surface that could hardly be called a position in front of him, and shouted loudly, "We still have to defend this position! That's not a position! It's just a matter of filling in the lives! If you keep guarding, you may not wait for your Suzaku Division to come over and our 88th Division's blood to dry out!"

Lieutenant Zhao ignored these things and insisted: "The bombing just now has blown up the Japanese artillery positions, and the Japanese troops preparing to attack have also suffered heavy losses. It may take a while for them to reorganize. Maybe our Suzaku Division will come before they attack, right?"

Seeing that Sun Yuanliang was still reluctant, he felt that the casualties of defending the front line were too great, Lieutenant Zhao added fire: "Team Commander Sun, you also know that the airborne troops need a field. Your front line positions are too close to the Japanese. Our troops may go directly to the Japanese. The core position behind you is in the city area, and the construction of many airborne is too dangerous. The suitable location is only near the second-line position under our feet. If you give up the first-line position and turn the second-line position into a battlefield, where do you let our airborne division airborne division go!?"

"This..." Sun Yuanliang had nothing to say. Now his 88th Division, which was full of supplementary troops, was facing the attacks of two Japanese divisions. If there was no rescue from the Suzaku Division, it would be the accumulation of virtue of the ancestors. If they didn't come, the position would have to be lost!

"Okay! I'll go out for the best of this year. At worst, it's only New Year this year!" Sun Yuanliang is also a ruthless person. Since he knows that the front-line positions must be defended, he must defend to the end. "Transfer two more battalions for me and repair the positions for me while the Japanese cannons are gone!"

"Teacher Sun is responsible! Brothers, I admire him!" Lieutenant Zhao bowed to Sun Yuanliang. He was heartfelt because Sun Yuanliang still valued the position under his feet and was willing to sacrifice to defend this position. If this were other troops that had been ready to apply oil on their feet, how could they care whether you have reinforcements? Is there a place for your reinforcements to be airborne and take care of me? It would be best if there is a place to surrender, but if there is no place to die as soon as possible. I happened to have a ship ready at Xiaguan and then leave now. If the position is lost, I will not lose it.

Since they had decided to defend the front line, Sun Yuanliang was also ruthless, but fortunately, the Japanese were stunned by the bombing just now. They had been gathering the troops for two hours in a row waiting for the follow-up troops, and did not launch an attack on the front line of the 88th Division. At this time, Sun Yuanliang and the others finally waited for the Suzaku Airborne Division on their side, and a large number of transport aircraft formations appeared again in the sky, and a group of fighter jets were performing escort missions near the transport aircraft.

According to Lieutenant Zhao's instructions, the 88th Division used the smoke bombs in the airdrop materials before to set up instructions smoke at suitable airborne locations, indicating the location of the airborne division's airborne operations. Then, umbrella flowers bloomed above the 88th Division's position, and the airborne operations began.

Without the Japanese army's obstruction, the airborne operation was very smooth in the early stage, but halfway through, it seemed that I realized that the situation on Yuhua*tou*tou is wrong. The Japanese army also sent more than a dozen fighter jets to assist. However, this old biplane was not enough in front of the fw-190 fighter jet escorted by the Qiong Army. It did not pose any effective threat to the Qiong Army's airborne operation except for delaying the time.

On the ground, after the Japanese army discovered the Qiong Army's attempt to airborne, they knew that if they did not take down the position of the 88th Division when the Qiong Army's airborne division was not yet stable, once the Qiong Army's elite troops entered the position, it would be a huge problem to attack it. They immediately ignored the heavy bombing and the reinforcements that it would take half an hour to arrive, and launched a strong attack on the 88th Division's position. For a moment, the 88th Division's front-line position, which had been calm for only a few hours, was filled with thick smoke and shouts of killing. (To be continued.
