Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Putting down the phone, Jiang Haoran shook his head helplessly. He knew that he was embarrassing Ye Zhaofeng. The weather like this is not suitable for flying at all, let alone airborne at this altitude.

The water mist brought by the rain will affect the pilot's visual distance and hinder the pilot's sight. Secondly, flying in low airspace in rainy days will easily generate downdraft, which will reduce the lift of the aircraft and cause the phenomenon of falling altitude. And the most critical , If the engine absorbs too much rainwater, it is easy to cause the engine to stop.

But these, Jiang Haoran can't take care of them. As long as the casualties caused by the airborne brigade can be reduced, he will admit the loss of a dozen or twenty planes, but if there are more, he still hopes that tomorrow will be a sunny day. weather.

It's a pity that God didn't let him get what he wanted. The next day was still heavy rain, which also cast a shadow of unsatisfactoryness on this battle from the very beginning, showing that its prospect must be a bloodbath.

But the established battle plan could not be changed. When it was almost noon, the heavy rain still had no intention of stopping, but the wind had reduced a lot. Seeing that the time could not be delayed any longer, Jiang Haoran gritted his teeth and issued a battle order.

At this time, Jiang Haoran had already moved his headquarters to the bridgehead by the Inowaddy River, where he could see the entire east bank of the Inowaddy River. Airborne, bridge building, and river crossing could all be completed right under his nose. The best front enemy command.

Less than 3 minutes after the offensive order was issued, more than a dozen missiles passed over the Inovaddy River. A few seconds later, the naked eye could see that the missiles went directly into the main body of the bunker on the opposite bank, and then there was a loud "boom boom boom". The bunker shattered in an instant, the scene of the explosion was very spectacular, and the smoke cloud raised was dozens of hundreds of meters high.

Sure enough, Liang Xiaotian didn't brag, the smoke cleared, and there was no longer a towering blockhouse on the defense line on the east bank.

"Order, intensive artillery fire coverage, time three 10 minutes!"

"Order, the bomber brigade and airborne troops will take off immediately, the bombing will start in 10 minutes, and the airborne will start in 5 minutes!"

Immediately, the heavy artillery regiment directly under the headquarters, the Jiangfang artillery regiment temporarily formed on the defense line, the artillery battalions of the three divisions, and all artillery fire at the division, regiment, and battalion levels. Amid the sound of gunfire.

The artillery shells stretched along the enemy's fortifications on the east bank all the way to the jungle behind them. Wherever the artillery fire could reach, they plowed several times. The country provided it, and it really verified the sentence, "Cannonballs don't cost money."

Half an hour later, a dense fleet of aircraft appeared in the sky. First, the bombers dived and bombed, plowing away everything suspicious and possibly hiding the Japanese ambush in the jungle, and then the airborne troops began to airborne.

When the blossoming "dandelions" appeared in the sky over the east bank, Jiang Haoran was the most nervous. He raised the binoculars and did not put it down until the first batch of troops landed safely. The soldiers quickly spread out and set up a defensive line. Haoran opened his mouth and smiled, "Okay, okay, it seems that the Japanese army is still unprepared, this battle must be fought."

But he seemed to be overjoyed too early. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of gunfire from the other side. Although the sound of the water was majestic and loud across a rushing river, the sound of gunfire was still very clear. The troops had already started airborne. Naturally, it is impossible for our own people to fire the guns, only the enemy.

Jiang Haoran hurriedly raised the binoculars again, and saw that the entire airborne area was almost completely covered by artillery fire, and countless shells rained down on the airborne area from the jungle on three sides.

Moreover, the planes in the air and the airborne troops in mid-air were obviously also attacked. From time to time, the planes caught fire and smoked, and then dragged a black line down rapidly and finally crashed into the jungle.As for the airborne troops in mid-air, the blossoming "dandelions" were swaying in the air, and they had obviously lost their human control. More were beaten to pieces, and the soldiers fell to the ground like iron balls.

But the nightmare didn't end there. Immediately, in the jungle at the far end, densely packed Japanese troops came out from three directions all the way, forming a thick yellow line in an instant, with a clear target, heading straight for the airborne area.

The sudden scene made Jiang Haoran's face pale, and the sweat on his forehead rolled down like raindrops. The enemy's artillery group, anti-aircraft artillery group, and a large number of infantry all told him a cruel reality. In other words, his carefully planned attack plan has been leaked.

From the moment the airborne troops entered the battlefield, he had no way out. The airborne troops on the east bank were Zhou Benye's third regiment, and almost when they were airborne, the first and second regiments led by Liu Xianwei also began to be in Lashio. Airborne, more than [-] soldiers of the entire airborne brigade have all been scattered. It is obviously unrealistic for Jiang Haoran to ignore their life and death, admit defeat and withdraw troops.

The enemy is very cunning, and the timing of the attack is very precise. When the troops are airborne, there are soldiers of the expeditionary army on the ground, there are soldiers of the expeditionary army in mid-air, and there are planes of the expeditionary army in the air. Long-range artillery fire is completely useless. Unless indiscriminate bombing is carried out.

What Jiang Haoran can rely on is the fighters and bombers in the air. Fortunately, the air power in this battle is very strong. Almost all the aircraft that can be operated by the No. 40 Group Army Air Force and No. 14 Air Force are in the sky over eastern Burma.

As soon as an emergency happened, there was no need for Jiang Haoran's order. The fighter jets and bombers immediately carried out a vigorous cleaning operation against the enemy's ground troops and various artillery firepower points. The effect was quite obvious. In just a few minutes, the enemy The firepower of the airborne brigade was contained, and the ground troops also began to stagnate. The third regiment of the airborne brigade finally completed the airborne mission, but Jiang Haoran knew that the attack just now had at least killed thousands of people in the third regiment. Casualties, it can be said that the casualties of the third regiment have exceeded one-third.

This is Jiang Haoran's most elite unit. It can be said that the real battle has not yet started, and such a large casualty has been caused under his nose. The shock and shock to Jiang Haoran is simply indescribable.

Moreover, although the third regiment had already finished airborne, the casualties continued to increase. The enemy's underground bunker began to exert its power, and bullets poured out from the ground, crazily harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the third regiment.

At this time, the exposed firepower, missiles and long-range artillery can only be sighed. The ground is full of their own people, and they can only rely on themselves.
