As a mature soldier, military affairs will be preferred at this moment.

Completing the military orders of superiors is what soldiers should do.

But he is Lei Xiong.

A Chinese soldier with passionate heart and courage.

Why did he defend the retreat of the entire army, for the lives of 30,000 brothers? No, not only that, what he defended was actually the determination of Chinese soldiers to defend their homes.

Lei Xiong's home is still in the distant Shaanxi, and it is still a long way from the Japanese army's front.

However, just watching his compatriots wail in the bombing of Japanese planes and even machine guns, he would think of what he would do if one day his son and his wife would do the same.

fighting!

He is a Chinese soldier, and he should be the Chinese people.

Even if the strength is asymmetry.

Three air defense positions fought against the Japanese formation of 12 bombers.

Don’t think that having anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns can make Japanese bombers flying in high altitudes.

In terms of strength, the bomber formation with high altitude and high speed advantages is naturally far greater than the air defense forces that are almost fixed to the ground.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that the 12 Japanese fighter jets hovering at high altitude are bombers at this time, to be more precise, they should all be carrier-based fighters.

It is not that China and Japan can even confuse bombers and fighters, but that fighters that can take off from aircraft carriers are destined to be smaller fighters.

The main function of these fighter jets is not to attack and bomb the ground, but to seize air supremacy, so that land attack aircraft with larger sizes and more ammunitions can be used to attack the ground.

However, at the moment when the air supremacy was completely occupied, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft lost its air opponents and turned into bombs to serve as small bombers.

The main fighter aircraft equipped by the Japanese Navy at this time was the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft. Japan's first all-metal single-wing fighter, with a length of 7.5 meters, a wingspan of 11 meters, a maximum speed of 430 kilometers per hour, and has two 7.7mm machine guns as the main combat weapons. There are hooks on the belly and under the wings. It can carry one 250 kilogram bomb and two 30 kilogram bombs when necessary.

To put it bluntly, at this time, the fleet of aircraft that hovered at an altitude of 1,500 meters and kept dropping bombs at the gathering places of refugees in the wilderness is a fleet of fighters that can be put into air combat at any time.

Once the mounted bomb is dropped, the twelve Japanese fighter jets can transform into the most beautiful boys in the sky, soaring freely in the sky at a high speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour.

For air defense positions on the ground, firing Erliton machine guns up to 2,500 meters may be a bit threatening to it, but the bullets of the Maxim heavy machine gun used in infantry combat may not even reach its exhaust.

High-altitude highways are their biggest advantage over the ground.

Once the air defense position fires, the Japanese fighter jet formation in the high altitude can razor the air defense position to the ground by just dropping bombs, without having to fight with Chinese anti-aircraft guns at all.

Lei Xiong knows this more than anyone else.

But, we still have to fight!

Of course, fighting is about fighting, but you can't show it. The guys are hard to fight against swords and guns.

If you work hard, you are seeking death.

You must have positions or valuable targets as bait to lure Japanese fighter jets down and lower the height to ensure the hit rate of air defense positions.

This Japanese nation is especially a dog. If you don’t beat him up, he will not escape with his tail between his legs.

However, this also means that there must be a position to make terrible sacrifices.

Just like fishing, the fish is hooked, but the bait will be eaten.

The twelve Japanese planes formed into four groups and circled in the air to observe. Once they found a group of people moving on the ground, they immediately drew an arc representing death in the air and threw a 30-kilogram bomb.

The 30 kilogram bombs dropped from an altitude of 1,200 meters are no less powerful than 305 caliber heavy artillery shells. Within 50 meters of the radius of the bombing point, people and animals will be destroyed.

Refugees are all ordinary people, and they know military knowledge. They either lie on the ground and don’t move, or run around like headless flies on the ground. When they encounter bushes, they plunge into them, thinking that it would be safe.

These are the most deadly things in the face of the air waves caused by the explosion and the violent vibrations on the ground.

A bomb can often take away dozens or even hundreds of lives.

Lei Xiong knew that Japanese aircraft did this not just for revenge, but they were also using bait to use the lives of Chinese civilians as bait to stimulate the hidden Chinese soldiers.

As long as they do nothing, they can only watch them hunt the lives of Chinese civilians at will.

"Battleman Deputy, No. 1 position requests to open fire!" Cheng Tieshou's voice came from the phone.

There was not only an infantry company in the 43rd Army camp, but also a communication platoon and a medical team. Although Lieutenant General Guo decided to take most of the war-capable soldiers to Songjiang to fight to the death, he still couldn't bear to let the 43rd Army be destroyed. The communication platoon and medical team directly under the military headquarters were left behind.

Although the communication platoon is not good at combat effectiveness, it can set up a telephone, which saves Lei Xiong a lot of trouble. At least the contact between positions around the bridge can be done by telephone instead of signal flares.

Unintentionally, Lei Xiong experienced the treatment only for Lieutenant Generals and Commanders this time.

There are telephone communications between the three main air defense positions and two infantry positions deployed hundreds of meters away from the south bank of the bridge.

The fire support platoon leader Cheng Tieshou is responsible for the No. 1 air defense position located on the south bank of the bridge.

His position was on a hill on the west side of the bridge. Two Ericon machine guns and three Maxim heavy machine guns were deployed around the hills with a small area, and an additional Sulutong dual-mounted machine gun and an MG34 machine gun.

The No. 1 air defense position has field trenches built by two infantry platoons. Once a large number of Japanese infantry attacks, the air defense position can instantly become a fire support position. Once three anti-aircraft guns are launched, the auxiliary three heavy machine guns and a MG43 with a high firing rate will definitely become a nightmare for any light infantry.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It can be said that this No. 1 position facing Songjiang is the sharpest spear among all the positions under Lei Xiong's current command.

Whether it is in the air or the ground.

Once the No. 1 position is lost, Lei Xiong's subordinates will weaken half of their air defense and ground firepower.

Lei Xiong answered without hesitation: "No!"

An extremely anxious gaze slid past several cars parked in the woods five hundred meters away, and an idea came to my mind.

"Give me a phone number for the 67th Army Company Commander Zeng, who is in charge of the position!" Lei Xiong's cheeks were raised high and finally made a decision.

Erya, who has become Lei Xiong's communications soldier, quickly dialed the phone.

"Company Commander Zeng, Japanese planes are now hovering at high altitudes, and I need to lure them to a thousand meters. So, I decided to use a convoy of three cars as bait, but each car must be empty, each car only needs one driver, driving towards the direction of the bridge. If Japanese planes do not chase, then get on the bridge."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Using the original words written by Erya later in her memoir: Perhaps after following Chief Tang Dao for a long time, our brothers from the four camps learned to snipe from him, learned to set up thunders, learned to fight against the enemy with coldness, but also learned to be cruel.

Just like Chief Lei Xiong in the Battle of Baihegang, he knew he would die, but he still wanted to die.

His order was to let three brothers of the 67th Army and three trucks take the initiative to step into hell.

"I know, this is a difficult decision, but we have no other choice. Either we die or watch the common people die. Company Commander Zeng, this is not an order, it is just my request from Lei Xiong, you can refuse!" Lei Xiong continued with firm eyes.

No one could hear his voice strange. Only Erya, who was closest to him, could see his hands tightly clenched and exposed their veins.

Erya knew that when he cruelly used his comrades as a desperation for death, Chief Lei could not be as calm as he seemed.

"Captain Lei said, this is not an order, it is just his request, but I think this is an order." After hanging up the phone, the captain company commander, who was seven hundred meters away from the main position of the bridge, was silent for ten seconds, and summoned all his men in the dense forest.

"But, it was not Chief Lei who issued this military order, but our compatriots. If we did not receive this military order, they would sneer in the sky and look at our soft balls, just like when our Northeast Army handed over the Northeast to let people go six years ago.

Brothers, you said, what should we do?"

A silence.

There was a loud bang of "Boom!"

A burst of smoke rose from afar, and the ground was trembling slightly.

Japanese plane dropped another bomb.

Without looking, you will know that dozens of lives have disappeared.

"Company Commander, I'm counting one!" A sergeant stepped out of the line.

"And me!"

"I!"
