Chapter 568: Precision Bombing
When Adjutant Chen came to the ferry with a company of guards, he found that a troop was already crossing the river.
On a small boat in the lead, there were more than a dozen fully armed soldiers with stern expressions standing there.
They all wore blue military uniforms, wore steel helmets on their heads, and carried weapons they had never seen before.
From their eyes, Adjutant Chen saw a restrained murderous intent.
"Line up, line up, welcome friendly troops to come for reinforcements!" Adjutant Chen didn't want his subordinates to lose their status at this time, so he turned around and shouted.
His guard company was composed of elite men from the Yunnan Army. They formed the formation quickly, but their momentum and equipment and clothing were inferior to those of the troops crossing the river.
When the first ship docked, a ** second lieutenant took the lead and jumped ashore with a dozen of his subordinates.
Adjutant Chen stepped forward with a serious face and saluted and greeted: "Chen Dafeng, commander of the 34th Brigade Guard Company of the Third Army of the Southwestern Frontier Force of the National Revolutionary Army, is here to await all of you friendly troops on the orders of the Lieutenant General and Brigadier General Cun Xingqi.
We’ve been brothers for a long time.”
The **** second lieutenant also quickly stood up and saluted, and said with a serious expression: "I, Zhao Mingguang, the platoon leader of the 2nd Airborne Independent Brigade of the 2nd Regiment directly under the Military Commission of the National Revolutionary Army, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Company and 9th Platoon, were ordered to lead our platoon to cross the river first and rush to the aid of Songshan!
"
"It's great that you are here, please!" Adjutant Chen Dafeng said immediately with a solemn hand.
"Sir Chen, don't worry. Our platoon's order is to stay put after crossing the river and wait for the main force to come and assemble." Zhao Mingguang said.
After saying that, his dozen or so tiger and wolf warriors lined up in a single platoon.
Not long after, ships came one after another from the east coast to dock. Since the pontoon bridge had already been destroyed by US bombers, communication basically relied on ships.
When a ** major came ashore, he greeted Adjutant Chen and followed him up Songshan with the two companies that had been assembled.
In two hours, more than 2,000 elite tiger soldiers of the Second Airborne Regiment finally crossed the river and met up with Cun Xingqi's troops.
In the headquarters in the cave, the colonel leader who led the team saw Cun Xingqi and quickly stood up and saluted: "The humble commander of the Second Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army Airborne Independent Brigade, Wang Dafei, led his troops to come for reinforcements. From now on, I will
The whole department will be put under the unified command of the general!"
Cun Xingqi admired the tough and impressive officer in front of him very much and said humbly: "Commander Wang, you are too polite. We are colleagues and we serve the country together. You have fought against Japan and the Soviet Union, and you have fought in the north and south.
He is a truly elite teacher.
If anything happens, let’s discuss it!”
"Don't dare, this is our brigade commander's order." Seeing Cun Xingqi's easy-going personality, Wang Dafei couldn't help but have a sudden liking for him, and said quickly: "The general unexpectedly attacked Mangshi with 800 elite troops. His courage was astonishing and he killed the enemy with blood.
Chenghe. With just one battle, he became famous all over the world, and he is truly a role model for our generation of soldiers!"
"Oh, brother Wang, you don't need to praise me. In the end, I still failed to defend Longling. I am ashamed of the blue sky and white sun emblem above my head, and I am even more ashamed of the thousands of hometown elders behind me!" General Cun Xingqi looked ashamed.
road.
"General, let's not talk about this for now. Can we first send someone to take the junior officers and subordinate officers to familiarize themselves with the terrain here and the situation of our army's fortifications?
In order to grasp the terrain and other conditions here as soon as possible, and better participate in the battle." Wang Dafei quickly changed the topic.
"Of course, let's do this, Cun will take you there." Cun Xingqi said immediately.
"Then there's General Lao!" Wang Dafei said with solemn hands.
The two men, supported by a group of adjutants and subordinates, inspected the defensive positions built by the Yunnan Army in Songshan.
Arriving at a higher point on the mountain, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire Songshan Mountain.
Cun Xingqi held up his binoculars and watched groups of paratroopers being ordered to deploy to various defensive trenches and firepower points. Everything was in order.
Nodding secretly, he put down the telescope and asked: "Captain Wang, do you have any other suggestions for our defense line?"
"I don't think I should take this suggestion seriously, but there are some areas that I think can be strengthened," Wang Dafei said.
"Oh? Brother Wang, please make it clear where it is. We can learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, work together, and cooperate sincerely to fight against the enemy." Cun Xingqi said.
"I can't explain this in just a few words. General, why don't we go back to your headquarters and I'll explain it to you on the map," Wang Dafei said.
Cun Xingqi nodded happily and agreed.
After returning to the headquarters, Cun Xingqi asked Adjutant Chen to take out the battle map. Wang Dafei looked at it, shook his head with some dissatisfaction, and said to the confused Cun Xingqi: "General, please wait a moment.
Time, I’ll ask my staff lieutenants to build something.”
"What?" Cun Xingqi asked in confusion.
Wang Dafei smiled mysteriously and said: "General, there is no need to ask urgently, you will know when the time comes."
After saying that, Wang Dafei said goodbye and left, returning to another cave not far from Cun Xingqi's headquarters.
I started to get busy with the staff adjutants.
In the afternoon of that day, several U.S. bombers flew over the Songshan Fortress again and carried out a barrage of bombings on the Japanese defense positions.
The cave where Wang Dafei and the others were in was shaken to dust by the explosion. At this time, Cun Xingqi hurried over.
He said to Wang Dafei: "Commander Wang, the Americans usually carry out artillery bombardment after air strikes, and then send out infantry to attack.
You need to inform your people to be more vigilant and prepare for artillery fire."
Wang Dafei, who had been busy with several adjutants for a long time, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "General, please rest assured, the officers and soldiers of our regiment are now fully prepared."
"Really?" Cun Xingqi said, then he saw a strange thing surrounded by several staff adjutants behind Wang Dafei.
He walked over curiously, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly said uncertainly: "Captain Wang, is this a sand table?"
"Yes, it's a simple sandbox we made based on the nearby terrain environment and map.
Due to time constraints, this sandbox is not yet so accurate and perfect, but it is enough for us to study and deploy." Wang Dafei said.
Cun Xingqi looked at the gradually completed sand table in amazement and said, "That's great. It's amazing that you were able to make this in such a short period of time."
"General, you probably don't know yet. Sand table homework and blueprint homework are all compulsory basic courses at our Longxing Military Academy in the north.
All soldiers and officers who have attended military academies can master this technique." Wang Dafei said with some pride.
Cun Xingqi nodded and said with deep approval: "I don't know if I compare. I'm really shocked when I compare. Compared with you, we are still too far behind."
At this time, there was a deafening roar of cannons outside.
Cun Xingqi was suddenly startled and said with some worry: "Oh, the Americans' artillery fire was too fierce, and the few mountain cannons we had have been completely destroyed by them.
I don’t know how many brothers are about to shed their blood on the battlefield now.”
Wang Dafei said without any worry: "General Cun, you don't have to worry too much. In fact, there are many ways to defend against artillery and air defense. I think that by now, the brothers in the trenches should have safely hid.
Don’t worry, there won’t be too many casualties.”
"Really?" Cun Xingqi was very curious.
"Let's go to the front line and take a look later, General, you will understand." Wang Dafei said with a relaxed smile.
"We won't be able to go up later. After the Yankees bombard them, they will definitely send out infantry to launch a large-scale charge. As commanders, we should sit back and command the entire battlefield." Cun Xingqi shook his head and said.
"Attack?" Wang Dafei said with a somewhat contemptuous smile: "This time, let's get rid of their artillery first and see what the Americans use to attack."
With that said, under Cun Xingqi's curious gaze, Wang Dafei picked up a wireless walkie-talkie and called: "Eagle Falcon, Eagle Falcon, how are you doing over there?"
In a secret bunker in the forward position with the roar of artillery, an airborne soldier who was secretly calculating the specific location of the US artillery position based on the trajectory of the US artillery shells said with a wireless intercom: "Head, it's almost done. You can call the Viper to dispatch."
"Very good, immediately send all the latest information to Viper and ask them to provide air support!" After Wang Dafei finished speaking, he put down the walkie-talkie.
He turned to Cun Xingqi and said, "General, we might as well go up there and see the excitement."
Due to repeated onslaughts, Morgan ordered the artillery and tank troops to increase the intensity and duration of the prolonged bombardment.
It took more than half an hour for the US military's shelling to begin.
And just when the servant army, which had been prepared for a long time, was about to launch an attack.
Suddenly there was a roaring and harsh sound of aircraft engines in the sky.
Some British and American officers supervising the battle quickly raised their binoculars and looked into the sky, only to see a group of black Chinese fighter jets flying over the top of Songshan Mountain and swooping down towards them.
"Oh my god, damn it, it's a Chinese plane, hurry up..."
"Oh my god, we are going to die!" The British and American war supervisors and the servants of Indian Asan and Burmese Monkey suddenly fell into panic and chaos.
More than a dozen Stuka dive bombers took the lead and arrived accurately, with precise coordinates provided by the ground forces.
The aerial bombs they carried accurately landed on the American artillery positions hidden in the woods.
The US M4 tank group that was also hiding in the woods and bombarded also suffered a devastating air attack.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Violent explosions sounded one after another in the woods.
A large number of U.S. artillery and tank troops were instantly devoured by the explosion, claiming their lives. American and British artillery pieces and tanks were instantly blown into groups of scrap metal parts.
Just after the first round of bombing by more than a dozen Stuka bombers, dozens more B-17 Flying Fortress bombers began to drop bombs at high altitudes with precision.
The British and American allied forces and the servant troops, who had been suppressing the Yunnan Army with air and ground firepower, were hit by the most violent aerial firepower in their lives at this moment.
Violent explosions occurred one after another in the large woods and gentle slopes in front of Songshan Mountain. Fires and thick smoke billowed into the sky, rising straight into the sky.
The British and American devils and their minions were howling like ghosts and wolves, leaving dead and wounded everywhere. (To be continued.
