Chapter 99 The Battle of Shanghai (19)

The chance of expulsion of Hawk driven by Gao Zhihang was the first to increase. The reaction speed of the Neon Army's carrier-based aircraft was obviously slower than that of the beautiful Hawk destroyer. After Gao Zhihang rushed into the clouds, he bit one of the mid-island aircraft and dived.

"Da, da" Hawke's 12.7mm bullets of the airborne machine gun were like splashing water, hitting Zhongdao's head. With a huge explosion, the carrier-based aircraft of Zhongdao instantly disintegrated, and a gorgeous fireball burst out from the sky.

At this time, the other five fourth brigade fighters followed Gao Zhihang and Neon Army planes to fight. The squadron leader Li Guidan also bit a Nakadao in a Hawk drive. Just as he was about to go to the flank to start an attack, a sudden burst of machine gun sounds, and his plane suddenly shook, and black smoke came out of the plane instantly. Li Guidan knew that his engine had been hit and should parachutize in time, otherwise there would be a possibility of an air explosion at any time. But looking at the Nakadao fighter in front of him who was intending to escape, Li Guidan tried his best to control the bumpy plane, pulled the joystick of the machine gun, and a series of fireballs rushed towards the enemy plane like raindrops, all hitting the flanks of the enemy plane. Li Guidan could clearly see the blood in the cockpit splashing, and the Nakadao fighter suddenly lost control and went to the ground.

At this time, Li Guidan found that his plane suddenly stopped in the air. The plane that lost power, like the Nakajima just now, was emitting black smoke, rolling and falling rapidly.

Li Guidan pushed the cockpit hard and leaped, and a white flower opened in the air. At this time, Gao Zhihang and the other four Hawk destroyers worked together to shoot down two enemy planes. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other two turned the plane's nose and hurriedly fled to the aircraft carrier parked outside Shanghai.

Neon warships that were air strikes fled along the river toward the Yangtze River Estuary. The flagship Izumo, the third fleet anchored at the mouth of Suzhou River in Huangpu, hit two bombs in a row, and it was already filled with thick smoke. The ammunition carried by the Fourth Battalion was exhausted and the oil was about to be exhausted. Gao Zhihang looked at Li Guidan, who was landing in the parachuting, and ordered all the fighter planes to return.

Four to one, the Chinese soldiers and the people who witnessed the battle over the Huangpu River cheered each other, and they also stared at the small white flower in the air nervously.

"No, the parachute is floating towards Hongkou Park." I saw the parachute floating towards Hongkou Park under the wind, pushing the wind, swaying towards Hongkou Park, which is filled with smoke.

"Import Zhang Zhengjie immediately, we must not let our pilot fall into the hands of the Japanese." Shen Xiuwen hurriedly ordered.

"Deputy Commander, look at the parachute floating over." Company commander Huang Likui pointed to the parachute closer and closer and said to Zhang Zhengjie beside him.

"Look at it, you organize a platoon to be ready to respond at any time. They are all heroes and have saved many of our brothers." Zhang Zhengjie was observing the parachute with a telescope, while keeping muttering: "You have been dropped into the Japanese position."

"Report to the deputy commander, the brigade commander: rescue the pilot at all costs." The messenger climbed to the second floor to convey the order just sent from the brigade department.

"Report to your Excellency Colonel, the pilots of the Chinese Air Force parachuting are floating towards the junction between our peripheral positions and the Chinese military positions."

Maeda Toshio witnessed the four-to-one air battle over the Huangpu River just now. And he had just received news that the warships of the Third Fleet on the Huangpu River were attacked by the Chinese Air Force and suffered heavy losses. The flagship Izumo was bombed and seriously injured. The commander of the Third Fleet on the ship, Lieutenant General Hasegawa Kiyoshi, almost died.

"Appoint the frontier positions to capture the Chinese pilot alive. Remember, you must live." Maeda Toshio ordered.

The Third Fleet suffered such a blow, which was a shame for the Navy. If a Chinese pilot could be captured alive, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement. Maybe he could make up for his merits and restore his official position. How could Maeda Toshio miss such an opportunity?

With a "thump", Li Guidan and his men and umbrella fell on an open ground. When landing in the air, he had to observe the terrain below. He knew that the landing place was near the Neon Marine Command, which was bombed yesterday.

Li Guidan quickly cut off the rope of the parachute and took out a self-defense revolver. At this time, he found a group of neon troops carrying 38-large covers rushing towards him. Li Guidan hurriedly got up from the ground, and suddenly felt a severe pain in his ankle and fell back to the ground.

"No, my foot was injured." Li Guidan endured the huge pain and wanted to get up from the ground, but his twisted ankle could not support his body at all, and fell to the ground again. Looking at the Neon Army getting closer and closer, Li Guidan had to pick up his gun and defend himself. The Neon Army rushed up and fell down quickly when the gun sounded, but this was on the battlefield. The small revolver with six bullets and average power not only failed to hit a Neon Army, but soon all the bullets in the gun were shot.

Neon Jun knew that Li Guidan's bullets had been exhausted, and he smiled and got up and continued to rush towards him. At this time, Li Guidan was very regretful, regretting why he had exhausted the bullets so quickly and left no one for him. What awaited him would be humiliated surrender.

Seeing the Neon Army getting closer, a crisp gunshot suddenly came from behind, and several Neon Army rushing in front fell to the ground. Li Guidan looked back and saw a group of people from the Hua Kingdom rushing out of a ruined wall, firing at the Neon Army, and quickly approaching him again.

"Heavy machine gun, to destroy this group of Chinese people, you must capture Chinese pilots alive." Masaino Ichiken found that a Chinese national rushed out to rescue the fallen pilot, pulled out his command knife and howled.

The war at Hongqiao Airport failed. Masaino Ikaru was not ordered to be cut off by Toshio Maeda, but his position was transferred from captain to squadron leader. This time he defended Hongkou Park, he took the initiative to go to the forefront, avenge his previous shame and make up for his mistakes. The place where Li Guidan landed was his defense area.

Huang Likui personally led a platoon of brothers to rescue the pilots who fell between the positions of the two armies. In his eyes, these pilots were all heroes. If they were not for them, he would have been bombarded by naval guns at this time.

"Hurry, act quickly. Squad 2 and Squad 3 suppress the firepower, and Squad 1 follow me." Huang Likui shouted and ordered to run towards the landing site without caring about the bullets shot by the Neon Army who had already fallen on the opposite side.

"Da, da" The heavy machine guns in the Neon Army's position suddenly opened fire, and the four brothers who rushed to the front fell to the ground in an instant. At the same time, the firepower of the second and third squads were also suppressed by the firepower of the Neon Army's heavy machine guns. Huang Likui, who was lying on the ground in time, was suppressed by the bullets flying over his head and could not raise his head at all.

Zhang Zhengjie saw everything in the telescope and quickly ordered: "The mortar fires and covers it."

"Dong, Dong, Dong" battalion's 82nd mortars and 60th mortars of the second machine gun company of the battalion opened fire at the Neon Army's positions at the same time. Although the mortar shells could not destroy the strong fortifications of the Neon Army, the artillery fire temporarily suppressed the firepower of the heavy machine guns.

Taking advantage of the smoke of shells, Huang Likui seized this short opportunity and quickly stood up and ran to Li Guidan.

"Are you okay? Can you leave?" Huang Likui asked anxiously, and with a short click, he killed a Neon Army who had just gotten up and was about to rush over.

"I've injured my ankle, I guess I've broken my bones and can't leave. Give me a gun, you can quickly retreat, don't worry about me." Li Guidan shook his head with a wry smile.

"The order I received was to rescue you at all costs. Stop talking nonsense. Come on, I will carry you." As he said that, Huang Likui said nothing, carried Li Guidan and ran back without saying a word.

Seeing Huang Likui rescue the pilot, the Neon Army, who was originally lying on the ground, chased Huang Likui regardless of the rules. Due to strict orders to capture the Chinese pilot alive, they did not dare to aim and shoot, but instead shot at Huang Likui's running feet. At this time, the submachine guns and Czech light machine guns in the hands of the second and third squads, which were originally suppressed by heavy machine guns, sounded to cover Huang Likui's retreat.

"Firepower suppression, firepower suppression, all of them are dead." Seeing the pilot being rescued by the Hua army opposite, Masao Ichigen no longer cared about the order to capture him alive. Instead of being rescued, it would be better to destroy him on the spot.

Huang Likui staggered and fell to the ground with Li Guidan on his back. Li Guidan did not care about the heart-wrenching pain coming from his feet, and crawled over and grabbed Huang Likui and said anxiously: "Brother, are you okay?"

But Huang Likui, who was lying on the ground, had lost consciousness, while Li Guidan's hand touched a warm liquid.

"High machine guns and mortars fire together. If you go to another platoon, you must snatch people back." Zhang Zhengjie, who had already approached the front and personally commanded, saw Huang Likui being shot and fell to the ground, his eyes turned red, and he quickly ordered loudly.

All the mortars, m2 and Maxim were ringing together at the same time, and the Neon Army positions opposite were immediately trapped in the sea of ​​fire. The first and second platoons quickly dispatched to catch Huang Likui and Li Dangui in time.

Seeing Huang Likui covered in blood and unconsciousness, Zhang Zhengjie roared: "No ceasefire, I'll beat you hard."

The spy company crawled in the dark sewer for more than ten minutes, and finally heard Wan Zhixiang in front of him shouting softly: "It's here." But then Wan Zhixiang shouted softly: "Oh, no, there are iron fences here, so I can't get through."

Because the diameter of the pipe was too small, Peng Hui, who was following behind, could not cross Wan Zhixiang at all, so he could only follow the light of the flashlight in Wan Zhixiang's hand and looked forward. He saw an iron fence welded with steel bars with a diameter of more than 20 mm at the entrance of the pipe blocking the way forward. Outside the iron fence was a manhole.

"The Japanese's defense is really strict." Peng Hui couldn't help but curse. As he said, Peng Hui groped out of the bag he carried with him and took out a hacksaw, handed it to Wan Zhixiang and said, "Old Wan, try this and see if it's OK."

"Your preparations are so full, I'll try it." Wan Zhixiang took the hacksaw and said in surprise.

Peng Hui also secretly sighed at this time that the brigade commander had foresight. He usually looked like a hacksaw, and needles and matches were equipment that spies must always carry with him.

"Cruff, crunch" The sound of sour teeth suddenly came from the sewer. Not long after, two steel bars were sawed down, and there was a manhole of about three or four square meters outside. Fortunately, it had not rained these days, and the water in the manhole was only waist-deep.

The bottom of the manhole is four or five meters high from the exit above. This is not a problem for the soldiers of the spy company to be able to go up by supporting the walls on both sides. Wan Zhixiang took out a pistol from his waist, and after the bullet was loaded, he was the first to go up. Peng Hui quickly pulled him and said, "Lao Wan, you can bring us here. Your mission has been completed, and it's time for us to go on."

"Company Commander Peng, I am also a soldier, so let me get on first." Wan Zhixiang said with a rare trace of perseverance.

Peng Hui smiled and said, "Lao Wan, I know you are a man. However, you are an intelligence officer and should play a greater role. If we do something about charge, you should hide here with peace of mind. After we take down the Japanese command above, I will come down to pick you up in person. Lao Wan, you are our hero this time. If you make a mistake, our brigade commander will not be able to spare me."

As he said that, Peng Hui was about to climb up. But a row of long hair Benhao, who had just emerged from the sewer, grabbed him: "Company Commander, I'd better do it first."

Mao Benhao has the best quality in the spy company. Peng Hui nodded, hung the rope prepared in advance on Mao Benhao's neck, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, be careful."

Mao Benhao climbed to the top with his hands and feet, slowly opened the manhole cover, and found that the exit was right next to the headquarters building. There was a bush in front. Through the bushes, you could vaguely see the figures of the Japanese in the yard running back and forth.

Mao Benhao gently moved his head to the manhole cover, kicked his legs, rolled forward and leaned against the bushes and looked around vigilantly. After confirming that it was not discovered, he quickly tied one end of the rope to a tree, threw the other end into the manhole, and made a safe gesture at the wellhead.

"Go up." With Peng Hui shouting softly, he took the lead in grabbing the rope and climbing up. The soldiers of the spy company cleverly climbed out of the narrow hole, without even having to take a breath, climbing up one by one.

At this time, the sound of gunfire in the peripheral positions was already very dense.

"The first battalion probably has started the attack, so we must be fast. Mao Benhao, you will take a few people to seize the heavy machine gun position at the door later, and the others rushed into the building with me. There are now seven Japanese outside, each of us aiming at one, and at the same time, we will catch them off guard." Peng Hui, who was lying beside Mao Benhao, whispered.

"Bao,Bao,Bao" A gunshot was heard, and the seven Japanese in charge of guarding at the door were immediately shot and fell to the ground. More than a dozen officers and soldiers who had climbed up the manhole divided into two groups and quickly rushed towards the machine gun bunker and the entrance of the headquarters building.
