Devil's Army

The company commander was pushed into the second fortification by the soldiers. Looking at the remaining thirty or so soldiers around him, he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the soldiers who would never come back and with whom he had lived day and night. He squatted on the ground, holding his head and crying.

The second captain said nothing, but went forward and hugged the first captain. He had experienced the heart-wrenching pain of losing his soldiers before.

After a while, the Second Company of the First Battalion of the First Regiment of the Second Brigade arrived at the second fortification. He said that he came here on the orders of the First Battalion Commander to hand over the defense of the second fortification.

The second captain roared with red eyes:

"If we don't leave, nearly a hundred of my soldiers will die in this fortification. We will live and die with this fortification!"

The second company commander of the second brigade had no way to convince the second company commander of the eleventh brigade, so he had to report to their battalion commander.

The commander of the first battalion came over quickly and said earnestly to the commander of the second company of the 11th Brigade:

"During this period of continuous fighting with the devils, our army's grassroots cadres have lost a lot of personnel. Only by protecting ourselves can we better kill the devils."

But the second company commander's mind was filled with hatred, and he was only thinking about killing the Japanese to avenge himself.

The battalion commander got angry and shouted directly:

"If you are still like this, I will ask our regiment commander to call your brigade commander Du and ask him to come and give you orders in person."

The second company commander didn't dare to alarm Brigade Commander Du about such a small matter. He had to leave the second line of fortification with the help of the second company deputy, looking back every three steps.

Soon after the Second Company of the First Battalion of the First Regiment took over the position, the commander of the 11th Regiment of the Japanese Army and his Third Battalion also arrived in front of the second line of fortification.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lieutenant Commander Yuichiro Nagano ordered his troops to step up their alert and take down the Devil's second fortification tomorrow.

In fact, among the three positions of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport, the northern position was under the greatest pressure, resisting the attack of one division of the Japanese 9th Division. However, the Japanese army also had the greatest achievements, not only occupying Dangyu Town, but also attacking the second fortification outside the Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

The 21st Regiment of the 41st Brigade of the th Division of the Japanese Army was responsible for attacking the east and south of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport. However, after two days of fighting, Xinyin Town and Linnancang Town were still in the hands of the First Army. It was just that the First Army's defenders in Xinyin Town and Linnancang Town had changed several companies.

After dinner, Captain Xu held his first meeting at the Huazha battlefield, with the purpose of discussing how to deal with the Japanese fighter group.

On that day, two Hua Xia II fighter planes of their First Army were shot down by the Japanese army, while the number of Japanese planes shot down was only half of yesterday, sixteen.

Captain Xu asked Captain Ren, who had rich combat experience, to summarize his experience.

Captain Ren pointed out: "Compared with the Japanese Type 95 fighter, our Huaxia II fighter has the characteristics of fast flying speed, strong climbing ability and fierce firepower. Therefore, the Japanese fighters can only adopt the tactic of multi-directional siege to defeat the minority with more people in view of these advantages of our aircraft."

"Then how did you crack the Japanese's tactics of using more numbers to defeat the fewer?"

"The speed of the Japanese Type 450 fighter is 1000 kilometers per hour, and our Huaxia II fighter is three times faster than it. Its climbing speed is meters per minute, and our Huaxia II's climbing speed is also three times faster than it. As long as we don't get entangled with them, the Japanese fighters will never catch up with us."

"Do you mean to escape?" asked Captain Xu.

"Running away won't solve the problem, Captain Yin..."

At this point, Captain Ren stopped talking. The life and death of their Air Force instructor, the first squadron leader Yin Fuqiang, is still unknown.

After a pause, Captain Ren continued:

"Captain Yin instructed us to look for every opportunity to shoot down the Japanese fighters. Only by shooting down the Japanese fighters can we eliminate the threat to our aircraft. If the Japanese fighters surround us, we can run away immediately. They can only see our buttocks."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, and the depressing atmosphere caused by Captain Yin just now disappeared.

After laughing, Captain Xu asked the two pilots he brought with him:

"Well? Did you understand what Captain Ren said?"

"clear!"

"Captain Ren's experience is worth learning from. They fought the Japanese for so many months and only lost two Huaxia II fighters. We lost two Huaxia II fighters on the first day we arrived."

"Captain Xu, you can't say that. Our previous battles with the Japanese were all with small groups of Japanese fighter planes, but this time we encountered a large group of Japanese fighter planes."

Captain Ren paused and continued:

"The Japanese army dispatched ten fighter-bomber air formations this time, including more than 70 fighters and more than 40 bombers. After two days of air battles, we shot down 48 Japanese fighters. If they don't have new fighter formations to replenish them, their fighters will not have an overwhelming advantage over us. As long as we deal with these Japanese fighters, their bombers will be sheep."

When the pilots heard what Captain Ren said, they were all eager to shoot down all the Japanese fighter planes tomorrow and regain control of the air.

Just as everyone was immersed in their anticipation, the phone in the operations room rang.

Captain Xu signaled Captain Ren to take over. He had just arrived and didn't understand many things.

Captain Ren answered the phone, and it turned out to be the captain of the special operations team's fifth squadron. They had found the wreckage of Captain Yin's plane, but Captain Yin's body was not found inside or within a few kilometers.

Captain Ren was very happy when he heard this, but then Captain Five's words brought his excitement to the bottom.
