Before the eight wildcat fighters returning to the airport could see the shadows, they received a notice on the ground that the fleet was attacked by Japanese aircraft.

Return to the ground and refuel and fly to the previous fleet position, which will be at least an hour and a half later.

For Air Force pilots, it is basically a mentality of leaving people to fate. No one would think that a fleet of troops carrying the army can survive the attack of fighter jets at 400 kilometers per hour until they arrive.

The Air Force Command has even prepared a report in advance that the fleet was attacked by Japanese aircraft and suffered heavy losses but the escort fleet did not participate in the war. They also realized that this must be a ghost inside, otherwise how could Japanese aircraft capture the gap in the escort fleet's return so accurately?

Minister He, who received the news, also sat in the office with a gloomy face. He was confident in the land combat level of Tang Dao and the Sixing Regiment, but this was on the water after all. No matter how awesome the army's ten successes could not be 10%, it was also a pity.

Almost all Chinese soldiers who received the news that Japanese planes appeared over the transport fleet were ready to disappear from their organization.

However, when eight fighter jets roared over the fleet that was still sailing on the Yangtze River, they were surprised to find that the entire fleet was sailing normally on the river as if nothing had happened, and in this one and a half hours, they advanced at least 20 kilometers downstream.

This is not different from the tragic scene I imagined, but a big difference. The Chinese pilots were completely confused and hovered over the fleet for at least three times to confirm.

"Squadron Captain, I have counted it. There are 43 ships in total, not a single one!" An air force lieutenant confirmed at least twice and reported to his flight squadron captain.

"Can it be said that it is a Japanese reconnaissance aircraft, just a little more?" The Chinese Air Force captain with rich combat experience can only give such a reason.

But obviously, he himself didn't believe this reason.

Even if it is a Japanese reconnaissance aircraft, seeing such a huge fleet without air defense, it will descend to altitude without hesitation and fire with airborne machine guns. This is the norm since the Japanese occupied Jiangxia.

So what exactly made the Japanese plane give up attacking this fleet? The eight escort wildcat fighters hovered around the area around the fleet for nearly an hour, and then returned to the field after judging that the Japanese plane would not come again.

It was not until they returned to the airport again that they received news that they had brought on the spot.

All four Japanese Zero fighter jets that were invaded were shot down by anti-aircraft machine guns arranged by the fleet...

The Japanese are afraid they are not fools!

The high-speed rushing fighter jet was actually shot down by anti-aircraft machine guns from the water? If this information was not conveyed from their major captain, I am afraid the Chinese pilots would tell him that this cold joke was very good and I won't tell it next time.

This incredible news was soon confirmed. In the surrounding mountainous areas where the fleet sailed, people had already seen the remains of burning aircraft in the valley. Without the war report on the loss of Chinese fighter jets, it could only be the Japanese plane.

What kind of troops is it? New questions quickly replaced the pilots' previous doubts about why Japanese planes did not attack.

It was not until the Battle of Shipai that the four-line regiment participating in this battle was revealed to the world that the doubts of the Chinese Air Force pilots were answered.

It turned out to be the famous Four-Entertainment Group, so that would be normal.

On the other hand, the Japanese Navy waited for the four of its fighter jets before it came back. When it realized that something had happened to the four fighter jets that were attacking the fleet, it was already noon.

Damn Chinese Air Force! Damn Michigan! Apart from the Chinese Air Force's eagle that can shoot down the Imperial Navy, the angry Japanese Navy's Air Force's Air Force can no longer find anyone else.

The Chinese Air Force can do all this naturally because of the latest fighter jets sold to them by the Americans.

The Japanese Navy Air Force Colonel, who was planning to send 12 fighter jets and the Chinese Air Force to fight again, canceled the military order just before the fighter jets were filled with fuel and drove onto the runway.

The reason is very simple. The sudden increase in the number of transport trucks at three Chinese military airports stationed in Sichuan Province often indicates that the Chinese Air Force has taken major actions.

The Chinese Air Force is weak, but as weak as a bee, and also has tail thorns that are so painful that they are dying of ecstasy!

In the past two years, the Japanese navy and army have been constantly bombing the positions of the Chinese army and several important cities. Although the Chinese Air Force has more functions for defense, they have also had long-range bombings of the Japanese occupying the airport.

Especially after the Chinese successfully used the new fighter jets sold by the Americans to ambush the Japanese Navy's bomber group and escort aircraft group, the Chinese Air Force launched frequent attacks. If you blow me up, then I will return a few bombs to you, which will exemplify each other's harm to the extreme.

The bombing of Jiangxia Airport in early December was a lingering shadow for the Japanese Navy aviation. Using the cover of heavy fog, six wildcat fighters carrying 500 pounds of bombs rushed over Jiangxia Airport, which dropped at least 2 heavy bombs and 5 incendiary bombs near the pilot's rest area.

When the bodies of a Zhongzuo, three magistrates and 14 lieutenant pilots were dug out of the ruins, they smelled!

The aroma of barbecue!

The fighter planes parked on the runway were also blown up and injured 13!

The Chinese used to spend hundreds of fighter jets to complete things, but now they have done it with just a few bombs.

The Japanese army strengthened its infiltration of intelligence near the Chinese airport. With this omen, the angry Japanese Navy Colonel's wing captain could only put the revenge aside first and instead focus on his own air defense.

Perhaps this is also the closest Japanese to the heavy blow to the Four-Round Team, and the cost is not too high, but because of an excellent feint from China, the Japanese lost this opportunity.

At night that day, the fleet finally arrived at the Shipai Fortress Port. According to the plan previously formulated, personnel and horses first logged into the river bank, then the air defense battalion, and finally various equipment and supplies.

Before arriving, the headquarters of the Four-Shanghai Regiment had contacted the 18th Army headquarters, and the other side also replied to the message to express their welcome and notified that all defenses of the Four-Shanghai Regiment would be commanded by the 11th Division after arriving at Shipai.

The 11th Division of the 18th Army stationed in Shipai Fortress sent a major general brigade commander to contact after the fleet docked, and sent an infantry battalion to assist the Four Regiments in landing and temporarily entered the valley to station.

This is also a preparation for the air defense the next day. It has already arrived here. The personnel and supplies are crowded on the narrow river bank and then bombarded by Japanese planes. That is a pity.

The division commander surnamed Hu obviously attached great importance to the arrival of the Four Corps. He used a major general in the main brigade to welcome the colonel Tang Dao, which obviously also raised the specifications.

However, maybe it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and the major general was already asleep, or it was high and dangerous, so it took time to arrive here. After the fleet docked, there was no one else except for a company commander of the 11th Division at the scene.

Tang Dao simply stopped waiting and started to unload supplies.

Originally, the major general brigade commander had a lot of complaints about him coming to greet the army colonel who was one level lower than him, but not long after he arrived at the scene, the major general's eyes were no longer dissatisfied.

He knew that the establishment of the special regiment of the Four Lines Regiment had a force of up to 5,000, almost equal to his main brigade.

But as a top student from Huangpu and a top officer in the elite infantry brigade who had a large number of war zones, he knew even more that it was not easy to see whether he could win a battle.

If there are many people, the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Jiangxia, that battle was not China against the enemy with twice the advantage, and the final result was not all defeated?

Whether an army has combat effectiveness or not is enough to just look at military discipline.

Thousands of people and thousands of pack horses got off the boat, and the movements of people shouting and neighing at horses can be seen from miles away?

But when the major general of the army walked along the way, the noise he heard was minimal, and he was even two miles away from the dock, he was even investigated by sentries.

It would be fine if it was from the 11th Division, but it means that his 11th Division was strict in governing the army, but what shocked the major general of the army was that the checkpoint with open and hidden whistles was actually from the Four Lines Regiment.

He listened to his guard's identity and checked his ID, and then he let him go politely.

The 11th Division's checkpoint was met after walking another two or three hundred meters. When he saw him, he didn't even check his ID, so he immediately saluted respectfully and moved the roadblock to release it.

If it were normal, this was nothing. After all, he was wearing a major general uniform and a guard. Almost no one had stopped him in the defense zone of the 11th Division, and he had long been used to it.

But now, with such a comparison, the four teams do not care what uniform you are wearing, and everything follows the rules.

Although there was a guard platoon carrying a submachine gun next to the major general of the army, the major general of the army clearly felt that the temporary checkpoint was not only five or six soldiers with live ammunition, but at least ten people were hiding on the hillside in the dark.

Whenever attacked, those muzzles hidden in the dark will definitely spray out deadly flames without hesitation.

Don't ask the Army Major General how he knew, that was the intuition of a veteran who had been in the army for more than 15 years.

After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, this major general started out as a platoon leader, and went through the company commander, battalion commander, regiment chief staff, deputy regiment commander, regiment commander, and regiment commander. It was not until the second year after the war began that he was promoted to the major general brigade commander because of his outstanding military achievements.

Although he is now a prominent general, if he really wants to lift his gun and fight against the Japanese, he is not inferior to those elite soldiers.

The old corps' judgment was indeed correct. The mountain infantry company that took the lead in landing sent out six infantry squads to the periphery of the landing ground, and extended 300 meters to the original postcard of the 11th Division to alert the entire regiment.

The reason why it is not further away is that it has not completed contact with the 11th Division. It has not done so to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Otherwise, the mountain infantry company will extend at least 5 miles outward to avoid being bombarded by mortars in the area where the supplies are being unloaded.

In an infantry squad, except for the five soldiers led by the squad leader, the remaining 10 people, including precision shooters, machine gunners, and mortars, were all hidden in temporary fortifications 50 meters away from the checkpoint.

If attacked, the 10 soldiers occupying the commanding heights are fully confident that they can block and repel an infantry platoon-level enemy.

This major general of the army was quite ruling. After checking the documents handed over by the squad leader of the mountain infantry company, he also reported his military position and showed his own documents. Otherwise, not to mention that he was a major general, even if Master Hu himself came, they would not be able to force pass the checkpoint.

"You go and take a Tang Dao, and by the way, see if the Four-Entertainment regiment is as strong as the legend. If fame exceeds strength, you can be responsible for the reception. As for the allocation of defense zones, let them be responsible for the periphery, and just replace the main force of my division." The Major General Brigade Commander remembered the explanation given to him by the proud division commander before leaving, and his heart began to stir up trouble.

The ancients said: Zhiwei is seen! Just a small checkpoint for the Four Lines regiment has already reflected such strict military discipline. You can imagine what kind of army their entire regiment is.

After passing two checkpoints in succession, the major general brigade commander arrived at the dock.

At this point, the major general brigade commander took a deep breath.

The dock was already brightly lit. The major general brigade commander who came over the mountain path could see the small dock that could usually accommodate more than a thousand people and dozens of tons of supplies at a glance.

Thousands of people and more than a thousand pack horses crowded here can tell how chaotic it is just thinking about it.

But he was wrong. There were not many people on the dock, but they were all arranged neatly, forming several queues like long dragons. After unloading the materials from the ship, they were continuously transferred and placed in an open space.

It was like an ants moving, and several piles of supplies were piled up like hills.

After one ship was unloaded, accompanied by the flag whispers of the shore and the people on the ship, the next ship approached the dock and everything was in order.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is the neighing of the pack horses, but there is almost no noise from the people.

"Huh? Didn't you say that the Four-Ship Regiment has 5,000 people? Why are there such a few people?" After the Major General Brigade Commander carefully examined the dock, his eyes were filled with surprise.

There will never be more than 1,500 soldiers on the dock who are assisting in carrying supplies.

"Brigate, look over there..." The lieutenant platoon leader standing beside the major general brigade commander, who was constantly observing the surrounding area, looked at the hillside more than two hundred meters away in surprise.

It was originally pitch black, but because of the lights on the pier and the fire of a large number of torches, there was also a certain view there.

In the dim light, rows of black shadows were like javelins inserted on the hillside.

"Typescope!" The major general brigade commander roared.

The personal orderly soldier quickly took out the telescope from his bag and handed it to his commander.

The major general brigade commander who was holding a telescope and looking at the dark hillside 200 meters away was stunned.

It was not a javelin, but a row of soldiers standing neatly on the hillside with backpacks and guns on their backs.

The mountain in Xiling Gorge is originally extremely steep. The reason why this place is the dock is because it is the flattest area of ​​this generation, but the slope of the hillside can still reach 40 degrees.

In order to fight, the trees and shrubs on the hillside that could hinder their sight had long been removed, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of standing on it.

Especially at this time, the cold wind blowing from the river was like a knife on his face. Even if he was wearing a woolen coat and blocking most of his face with a thick collar, the major general brigade commander still felt it was difficult. This was one of the reasons why he left the brigade headquarters for nearly an hour before he left here.

But the soldiers standing neatly stood quietly in the mountains without fearing the terrain and the biting cold wind.

Why are they?

After the Major General Brigade Commander was moved, he was also thinking, and he could not find a reason to convince himself.

This is also the first question he asked after meeting and greeting Tang Dao.

"I have been frustrated in the narrow ship warehouse for several days, and I can't even carry people on my back. If I don't take advantage of this time, let the mountain wind blow away the foul air on my body, can I wait for the Japanese to use artillery fire to drive it away?" Tang Dao smiled and asked for a reason casually.

He couldn't come up and told the elite major general of the Central Army that our four-way regiment is here to fight and must maintain a fighting posture at any time. Standing military posture is just a kind of daily training, which can make the infantry nervous, especially when they first came to this strange environment.

Being sufficiently vigilant about the unknown is a key factor in surviving on the battlefield. This is one of the Tactical Regulations for Infantry in the Four Line Regiment.

That was common to the officers and soldiers of the Four Army Regiment, but saying this at this time probably made this person think that he was showing his military power, and Tang Dao didn't want to cause trouble.

Tang Dao with a slanted smile on his face, and the Major General Brigade Commander certainly knew that the most of the foolings were, but he invited him to the court: "Captain Tang, please move to the division headquarters. Our division has admired Commander Tang for a long time and hopes to discuss defense with you!"

The famous sergeant is just a preliminary impression that the major general brigade commander has determined that the Four Army Corps is at least an elite army that is not inferior to his 11th Division and is already qualified to meet with his proud division commander.
