Hearing this, Zhai Daping was excited, he and Zhou Wu have been separated for more than half a month, and now they are finally going to get together, which is really exciting.
However, at this moment, the front fort suddenly sounded a piercing "woo", Zhai Daping's heart suddenly shrank, this is the alarm of the plane's attack, it is estimated that the little devil's bomber will fly over Jiangyin in a few minutes.
Not daring to slack off in the slightest, Zhai Daping immediately ordered everyone to quickly hide in the air-raid shelter, and be ready for battle at any time to strictly prevent devils from taking the opportunity to land on Jiangyin's defense fortifications.
Zhai Daping took the binoculars, drilled out of the air-raid shelter, and hid in a corner of the fortifications to look up at the sky.
I saw a large number of bombers flying from the southeast, and they were rushing towards the fort with impunity.
A few minutes later, the Japanese bombers flew over the battery, and after circling the sky a few times, they then made a sharp dive, and the flight altitude dropped rapidly, and after a few seconds, huge bombs were pulled out of the belly of the plane, and the ground was in flames, and thick smoke was billowing out.
After a burst of indiscriminate bombardment, the devil triumphantly circled around the fort for a few times, and then turned around and flew away in a southeasterly direction.
Zhai Daping gritted his teeth at this scene: "Damn, the little devils are too rampant, if Lao Tzu has guys, he has to beat them down." ” Of course, Zhai Daping was also addicted, they didn't have any decent anti-aircraft guns or other weapons used to fight planes in their hands, and they didn't even have many Maxine heavy machine guns, so they could only watch the devils show off their might.
At this time, Zhao Lijin came over, like Zhai Daping, he saw those planes scolding, scolded for a while, and felt bored, so he beckoned the brothers hiding in the air-raid shelter to come out quickly to breathe.
Zhao Lijin and the others had just come out of the air-raid shelter, only to hear a dull scream piercing the sky, Zhai Daping subconsciously shouted: "Quick, the lying devil is shelling" As soon as these words came out, everyone reflexively fell to the ground, and immediately heard a "boom", and the shells of the Japanese ship's guns exploded three or four hundred meters away from the fortifications.
All of a sudden, there was a rush of fire and flying smoke everywhere.
Zhai Daping hadn't recovered yet, and then another row of shells whistled.
The smoke from the explosion completely enveloped the battery, and he couldn't even see the situation in the smoke.
The shelling lasted about twenty minutes, and Zhao Lijin felt the earth tremble violently, his ears "buzzing", and it was not until the explosion stopped for a long time that his hearing returned to normal.
Zhai Daping took a telescope to observe the movement on the Yangtze River in front of him, but after looking at it for a long time, he still didn't find a landing craft or boat with little devils appearing on the beachhead.
Zhai Daping wondered, why didn't the Japanese army take advantage of the good opportunity of the artillery bombardment to land on the beach, could it be that they had other purposes, what did the little devil want to do The more he pondered, the more curious Zhai Daping became, he picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the fort for a while, and was relieved to find that the fort that was blown up by the Japanese naval guns and planes was disguised by them last night.
Zhai Daping ordered Zhao Lijin to lead the main force of the special battalion to stay in the fortifications and pay attention to the movements on the beachhead by the river at any time, while he took more than 100 brothers to the fort to have a look.
Zhao Lijin naturally did not agree with Zhai Daping to take risks, and he insisted that he take people to the fort.
"Battalion commander, you are our supreme commander, you must stay in the fortifications to be responsible for commanding, this kind of work of going out to reconnoitre, I can do it, is it possible that you still don't believe in my Lao Zhao's ability" Zhao Lijin felt that Zhai Daping, as the commander of the first battalion, could not leave the fortifications, and if there was any emergency, he would not be able to be the master, let alone deal with it.
Zhai Daping thought that Zhao Lijin's words were also reasonable, so he decided to let him bring more than a hundred or so brothers with good skills to the fort to reconnoiter the situation, and if necessary, he could act on his own.
Zhao Lijin was excited, and said: "Battalion commander, don't worry, if there is a chance later, I will definitely get a little devil's warship and show the evil spirit that was bombed just now." ” Zhai Daping's face sank, and he said: "This time, you are going to reconnoiter whether there are devils' landing craft on the river, not to beat any warship, don't come nonsense." ” "As for those warships with batteries, maybe after the indiscriminate bombardment just now, they hate the little devils more than we do."
Zhao Lijin smiled and beckoned the 100 brothers to go to the fort, looking at him as if he was not going to reconnoitre, but to go on an outing.
At the same time, Zhai Daping ordered the soldiers who remained behind in the fortifications to start resting in batches.
They were too tired to help move the cannons and shells last night, and now they were confused for a while before the little devils attacked.
On the other side, Zhao Lijin quickly rushed to the fort, which had been blown up to a mess, full of messes, the billowing smoke and dust from the explosion had not completely dissipated, and there were black craters everywhere, choking smoke.
Zhao Lijin hurriedly led people to the fort, thank God, the brothers here did not have too many casualties, but after being bombarded by the shells, they all became a little sluggish, and their eyes were dull, as if they had lost their souls.
As soon as these people saw the brothers of the spy battalion rushing in from outside, they thought it was a little devil coming up, and they all trembled and pointed the guns in their hands at Zhao Lijin and them.
Zhao Lijin scolded loudly before waking up these confused national soldiers.
When the commander of the fort garrison saw Zhao Lijin, he blurted out and scolded: "Brother, you don't know, the bombardment of his damn little devil almost killed us, it was so violent that several of my men vomited blood on the spot, and many of their ears were deaf." ” Zhao Lijin rolled his eyes: "What's the use of you talking about this now, hurry up and show your guys who are eating, and beat the Japanese warships on the river."
As for us, we're here to reconnoiter whether the little devils have landed. ” As soon as the commander of the battery heard that Zhao Lijin was here to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, he immediately said: "Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome, there are professional artillery observation glasses in the battery, and it is 360 degrees without dead ends."
The little devil's every move on the Yangtze River can't escape my eyes. ” "Otherwise, you can fight the warship with me, so that you can not only detect the movements of the devils, but also see the scene of the cannon sinking the warship."
The commander of the battery garrison said with a serious face.
When Zhao Lijin heard that there was such a good thing, he could not only complete the task assigned by Zhai Daping, but also watch the scene of the cannon hitting the warship, which was really a double win.
He immediately ordered the two men to return to the fortifications at once, and informed the battalion commander to find a way to get from the telephone line of the fortifications to the fort, so that he could report the movements of the little devils at any time.
The two soldiers nodded in agreement, turned and ran towards the fortifications.
Then, Zhao Lijin asked again: "Where is your observation glass, let me see." ” He suddenly couldn't wait to see what the little devil's warship was doing right now. t1706231537:
