Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 378 Consumables
"Yoxi! The navy has dispatched two flying squadrons to bomb the Chinese, and ordered the 18th Division to speed up the march. It is best to catch up with them in the afternoon, hold them back, and wait for the main force to encircle. I want to watch before dusk. till their general kneels before me."

The lieutenant general commander of the Tenth Army who had never smiled since Tani Hisao's death on a tall horse, regained his smile and gave orders with great confidence.

And the one who was more confident than him was Shao Zuo Watanabe Junji who was still flying in the sky.

The reconnaissance information of the reconnaissance plane that was one step ahead of them had already been transmitted through the radio, and the main force of the Chinese retreating from Songjiang was rushing along the simple road.

The convoy of trucks and horse-drawn carriages stretched for several miles, and the sky was covered by dust. Under the cover of dust, countless small black spots rushed towards the direction of Suzhou Creek, hoping to cross the bridge at the fastest speed.

However, no matter how hard they run, can they outrun a fighter plane with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour?He can reach the distance of only 80 kilometers in less than a quarter of an hour.

Looking sideways at the fighter planes with a cold metallic luster under the golden sun of the morning sun, as the supreme commander of the bombing formation composed of fighter jets and bombers, Junji Watanabe is extremely confident.

Although the formation of 18 fighter planes is not the strongest formation dispatched by the navy in this war, the 18 heavy aerial bombs it carries are absolutely terrifying weapons that can send anyone to hell, let alone 20,000 people, or 100,000 people. how?Without fighter planes, they could only tremble under the machine guns of Imperial Navy fighter planes.

Even the Japanese Navy Major, who personally piloted the 96 ship blaster, thought that the commander was too cautious, not to mention that Chinese planes had not appeared in the sky over Songhu for a long time, even if they did, the weak Chinese Air Force could send out How many fighters?
According to his thinking, the 18 fighters should all be bombed by the [-]th ship. The powerful ground attack can make the Chinese on the ground extremely desperate.

Even if there are a few Chinese fighter planes attacking, the 96 ship with three machine guns will not suffer from the Chinese Hawker II and Hawker III fighters.

The confidence of the Japanese navy major is not without reason.

At this time, the main fighter equipped by the Chinese Air Force is the Hawker II, which belongs to an unsuccessful fighter developed by Curtiss Corporation of the United States for 30 years. This old-fashioned fighter still uses two wings. China is being taken advantage of.

The top speed is only 320 kilometers per hour, and the bomb that can be carried is only 220 kilograms. China's main fighter, which only has two Browning machine guns, does not have an advantage against the [-]th ship.

Even when encountering China's more advanced Hawker III, the Major Commander of the Japanese Navy is not in vain, not only because of the huge number of 18 fighters, but also because of himself.

The three gold stars sprayed on the tail of the plane means that he has a record of shooting down three enemy planes. If the Chinese don’t come, it’s fine. If they dare to come, maybe he will add a few more gold stars to the tail of the plane.

"Everyone, lower the altitude to 1500 meters so that we can launch an attack as soon as we spot the enemy, and don't give them a chance to evade." Watanabe Junji ordered over the radio.

"Hi!" The pilots of the Japanese bomber formation responded on the radio one after another.

The firm tone is as confident as its commander.

"Major, two reconnaissance planes crashed the day before yesterday, which proves that the Chinese have anti-aircraft artillery positions near the bridge. Should we be a little more vigilant?" An untimely voice broke into the formation's public radio channel.

Obviously, this belonged to a member of the flying squadron who was beaten to a half the day before yesterday.

Although a password was issued upon returning to the mothership, the pilots, who had lingering fears about shooting down six of their own fighter planes, did not want to become burning turkeys under the muzzle of anti-aircraft guns.

The confident Shao Zuo Watanabe Junji didn't even use the tactics of tentative attacks, in his opinion, it was extremely dangerous.

"Oh? Tang Ze-jun, your worries are not unreasonable." Amid the roar of the plane's engine, Junji Watanabe's voice seemed a little cold. "It's just, can the Chinese predict where we will attack? Or, how deadly do you think their pitiful anti-aircraft guns can pose to our army? If you are timid, when we are waiting to bomb , Just wait for me to sweep the formation at high altitude."

Anyone will be dissatisfied when poured a pot of cold water when they are full of confidence, and Junji Watanabe is no exception, and the response will naturally not be very gentle.

The doubts on the radio channel disappeared.

As the major said, the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground alone is by no means enough to pose a threat to the 18 fighter planes loaded with bombs.

If you are hesitant because the Chinese have anti-aircraft guns, then it is better not to fight, and the big guys just take care of their children at home. Isn't there no danger at all?

Besides, the Chinese have already played a ground ambush trick, so they still have the courage to try the same trick again.

The Japanese pilot who was rejected by the Japanese commander in a cold tone also only knew that "the use of troops will never be repeated", but he did not expect that the fixed pattern was always used to break.

If it were those Japanese army generals who had been severely beaten in the face on the ground, they would definitely not think so again.

Tang Dao, is to use the tricks that have been used against the Japanese Army to the Japanese Navy.

In the wilderness, the advance team was still on their way.

Wearing a coarse military uniform and turning it into a vest, the vitality of the "hammer" can be called tenacious, but after ten days of effort, the Chinese pastoral dog, which suffered bullet wounds on its hind legs, can already walk independently. Although it is still limping, it does not need cattle Second, use the cloth pocket to carry it behind your back.

Ever since Tantai Mingyue arrived at the headquarters of the advance regiment and fed it two pieces of jerky that she couldn't bear to eat, 'Hammer' followed behind Tantai Mingyue like a follower, and the dog's mouth was cracked, let alone how happy it was.

Niu Er, who was ordered by Tang Dao to serve as the guard of Tantai Mingyue, secretly complained about this "colorful" dog who forgets righteousness when he sees color. He has been carrying it for so long, and he has never seen this guy grinning like a dog and sticking out his big tongue every day. No, why are you so stupid when you meet the big reporter Tantai?
However, Niu Er also understands "color" dogs, no matter it is the Four Elements Battalion, the Guard Battalion or the Advance Regiment, they are all male creatures. When this beautiful reporter from Tantai Mingyue comes, it is like a beautiful scenery, turning the original dignified The road to death is much more beautiful.

No matter what, he had to keep the Tantai reporters safe, not just the commander's order, the young sharpshooter swore secretly in his heart.

'Hammer', who was following Tantai Mingyue, stopped suddenly, and the dog turned its head to the east, with its ears pricked up, barking crazily.

It was derived from the instinct of creatures, and the incoming hearing far exceeds the roar of the human "hammer", which made the "hammer" feel a great threat, and it was reminding its human companions.

The Japanese machine is here!

Niu Er raised his gun without hesitation, and fired at the sky as a signal.

All the infantry who were running in the wilderness immediately discarded their luggage, removed the necessary guns and ammunition, and threw all their belongings on the wilderness, and fled to the woodland or bushes in the wilderness.

This is Tang Dao's military order.

Although the entire army of the advance regiment was used as a bait to attract the Japanese bombers, it did not mean that they just stood in the field and let the Japanese bombers bomb them. The infantry tried their best to avoid the terrible aerial bombs of the Japanese planes.

But these evasions only belonged to the infantry, and could not be left to the convoy still running a few miles away.

If the advance regiment is the abandoned son of the entire Songjiang army, then the convoy is the abandoned son of the advance regiment, and they must bear the heavy responsibility of attracting Japanese planes to attack.

Otherwise, the 3000 people here will all be under the attack of heavy Japanese aerial bombs.

To put it bluntly, they are not used as bait, or simply to consume the blockbuster bombs of the Japanese aircraft, they are consumables.

Use life to consume.

The carriage got off the road and fled towards the surrounding wilderness.

Seventeen trucks were still dragging branches and wooden frames and rolling up smoke and dust and rushing forward.

Tantai Mingyue, who was dragged by Niu Er and desperately rushed to the woods, turned her head to look at the smoke and dust in the distance, her eyes suddenly blurred.

Although she already knew that the seventeen trucks were the first to be abandoned, that the seventeen drivers were the most determined officers and soldiers selected by the various departments of the advance regiment, and that each of them left a suicide note first.

However, when she watched them move forward firmly on the road to death, she still felt sad from her heart.

When will our country and our army stop exchanging their lives with steel explosives again and again?

She also knew that the man not far away from her with a sharp face like a knife, although he stood expressionlessly in the woods and watched all this, his heart must be in great pain.

In the sky, the roar of the engine of the Japanese aircraft has been faintly heard. Although the small black spots that suddenly appeared in the clear sky can not be seen clearly, the black spots have already proved the terrible number of Japanese aircraft.

And the number proves that the Japanese navy and army are bound to win this retreating lone army.
