Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 817: Happy New Year!

Because of this unexpected "fireworks" feast, the hearts of the people in the venue went up and down like taking an elevator.

However, for most people, the joy was far greater than the panic.

Although the battlefield was right in front of them, the Japanese fighter planes were basically forced to drop bombs several kilometers away. Except for the loud noise, the people did not personally experience the horror of heavy bombs. Instead, they saw Japanese planes like hunted birds in the crazy concentrated fire of their own air defense forces. That feeling was too exciting.

Of course, the more important thing was that the determination of the officers and soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment also gave them enough confidence. When the Japanese planes in the sky were approaching fiercely and everyone's face was as pale as paper, the officers and soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment who stood in the same trench with them were unmoved.

They even heard someone betting at the opening.

"I bet that if the Japanese planes can't fly to Captain Cheng's air defense position, they will be shot down! One-to-one bets, welcome to place bets!" Lao Suanpan's loud voice could be heard by people in the trenches hundreds of meters away.

Several captains with higher military ranks than Lao Suanpan just glanced at Lao Suanpan who was betting over there, but no one tried to stop him.

They all knew that there were trees and trenches here, which were much more concealed than the trenches on the front line that had been bombed bare by artillery fire. Not to mention that the regiment had already issued an order that this was a well-prepared air defense battle, even if the Japanese planes flew over and dropped bombs, they would not be in big trouble nearly a thousand meters away from the venue.

But the people didn't know! Once someone wanted to escape because of fear, it would be a small matter if they were killed by Japanese planes, but it would be the end if they attracted the Japanese planes.

Lao Suanpan's move was also a reassuring move, which was more effective than the soldiers with live ammunition standing by the trenches to maintain order.

"Uncle Jia, please rest assured. Since I followed Commander Tang to fight the Japanese army, the Japanese army has never taken advantage of us!" Qian Dazhu, who had been accompanying Jia Dongxing and his group, said that the "celebrity" could only feel at ease.

Facts have proved that the confidence of the officers and soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment was not in vain.

No Japanese plane reached a distance of 2 kilometers from the crowd. The artillery fire in the sky scared them away directly, and then shot them down one by one.

It was really as Tang Dao said, presenting everyone with a New Year's "fireworks"!

No one expected that not only did they watch a grand military parade of the Four-Line Regiment and the show, but they also watched a ground-to-air battle up close. This experience alone can be boasted for a lifetime.

Perhaps people at this time have not realized that it will not be too long before this kind of battle that breaks out in the air will not be uncommon on the land of China.

As the Japanese army pressed forward step by step, China, which never gave up resistance, bravely fought against the enemy in major cities one by one. The Japanese army had to send fighter planes to bomb, and the weak Chinese Air Force also fought back with all its strength.

In the sky, Chinese and Japanese fighters fought hard, and on the ground, hundreds of thousands of people were eagerly watching the battle.

When our fighters caught fire and crashed, the people shed tears, and when the Japanese fighters were hit and exploded, the people cheered.

Many of the remains and wounded of Chinese pilots were found by the people on the ground.

But no matter what, this day was more joyful than frightening.

When the soldiers and civilians returned to the venue, they performed a few more programs. The chefs who stood in front of the stoves again cooked the meat, and the aroma spread all over the fields. The lively buffet also began.

That scene was not ordinary spectacular.

In the venue with a radius of more than 7,000 meters, rows of long tables and benches that had not been completely cleaned and some places still had fresh wood thorns were neatly placed.

Even so, the venue was still too small, and many tables and benches had no place to be placed, so they were directly placed in the unrepaired wild land.

The long tables, which can accommodate 200 people at the same time, are 50 meters long and can accommodate nearly 4,000 people at the same time.

The long wooden table is 0.8 meters wide, and people need to sit on both sides, so the width can reach 1.8 meters. There is also a one-meter gap between each row for the waiters to serve the dishes. Twenty rows of long tables are almost 500 meters long. It would take three minutes to run from the first row to the last row, let alone walk.

The 60 waiters provided by the restaurant are probably not enough. Mayor Huang, who has gained a lot of benefits, did not lose face at this time. He personally brought 300 residents to help serve the dishes.

Various meat stews were being served on the table, and the wide venue was filled with the smoke of burning firewood and the aroma of meat.

A group of 4,000 people, divided by area, came to the table with their children and elders to eat. Those who wanted to drink were also provided with white wine, but a jar of white wine was placed next to the long table, and they had to pour it themselves.

But for these people, meat was obviously more attractive than wine. The feeling of eating a large piece of fat meat, especially for free, was too good.

But even with this scale, there were still thousands of people watching outside the venue, and the officers and soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment were waiting first, waiting for the people to finish eating before preparing to serve.

"My goodness! This scene is so fucking awesome. When my son gets married, if I can also put on a scene like this, it will definitely be very face-saving." Li Jiujin licked his lips and sighed involuntarily at the grand scene.

"I say, Lao Li! Don't wait until your son gets married. You are the only company commander in the regiment who can save money. Invite a few of us old brothers to Zhengzhou City Restaurant tonight. I, Pang Dahai, will salute you when I see you in the future. In Japanese terms, it will be a great honor." Pang Dahai on the side joked.

"Damn, you, Lao Pang, are so short-sighted that you only stare at the little money I saved with great difficulty. Last time, I treated you guys to baked potatoes. What's wrong? You forgot so quickly?" Li Jiujin's biggest taboo is the money he saved with great difficulty. When he heard Pang Dahai urging him to treat others, his eyes almost turned green.

"Lao Pang, don't provoke my brother Jiujin. Even the bandits are afraid of my sister-in-law Jiujin's two big kitchen knives. Do you think my brother Jiujin dares to spend money recklessly? Don't go back. My sister-in-law Jiujin saw that he didn't bring any money and chopped my brother Jiujin into dumplings!" Cheng Tieshou, who hurried back to the venue with his artillery company 2 after the battle, smiled like a flower.

The merits of this battle belong to the First War Zone, and the wreckage of the fallen planes naturally belongs to those troops. The artillery company 2 didn't have to clean up the mess at all. They just put the equipment on the packhorse and came back to drink and eat meat.

After a great victory, none of the brothers in the company were lost, and some newcomers got practical training. How could Cheng Tieshou not be happy?

"Puh, you big black face full of saliva, believe it or not, I tell you guys, don't use your sister-in-law to provoke me, that's the dowry I saved for my daughter and son, no one can spend a penny." Li Jiujin sneered, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

Anyway, Li Lao's nickname has already spread, and he is not afraid of being said a few more times.

His eyes rolled, but he thought of something, and slapped his thigh: "That's right! When the time comes, all of you will be present at my son's wedding. Uncles, remember to prepare big red envelopes!"

"I" Pang Dahai was stunned.

He has seen shameless people, but he has never seen such a shameless one. His son is just a little kid, but he is thinking about the red envelopes of his colleagues.

Moreover, it is not easy to refute him. After all, everyone wants to live to that day, right? The subtext of Lao Li's words is also a New Year's blessing, wishing everyone to live another ten years.

This would be an insult in normal years, but in this war era, living one more year is earned.

"What are you guys talking about so happily?" Tang Dao strode over from outside the venue.

Cheng Tieshou came back directly with the 2nd Artillery Company, but Tang Dao, the commander-in-chief, could not just shoot down the plane and leave. He had to meet with the air defense battalion commanders and company commanders who had made great contributions.

The news of shooting down the Japanese plane had already been reported to Commander Cheng in the city through the field radio by the signal soldiers. Tang Dao saluted and shook hands with the battalion commanders and company commanders who were fighting side by side, and asked them to clean up the battlefield and then return to their respective bases according to the military order of the headquarters.

Tang Dao, the commander-in-chief, had nothing to do after resigning after the war, but these air defense forces could not relax. In order to prevent retaliation from the Japanese army, they had to be on combat duty 24 hours a day.

Of course, Tang Dao directly handed over the command to Colonel Fan, which was also determined that there should be no war today. The Japanese army had just suffered a heavy blow. Knowing that a large number of anti-aircraft equipment were gathered here, if they wanted to organize another wave of bombing, it would be necessary for their commander to be crazy.

In fact, Tang Dao really underestimated Terauchi Shouichi.

After receiving the news from Taiyuan that "only one fighter plane returned, and the rest of the fighter planes were all destroyed!", General Terauchi Shouichi, who was stationed in Yanjing, almost spit out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, he immediately sent a message to the 89th Army Aviation Brigade stationed at the Yanjing Airport, ordering them to immediately prepare 24 bombers, transfer to Taiyuan, and continue the second wave of bombing on the target.

The commander of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Army had a clear idea. The Chinese had just won a great victory and would definitely relax their vigilance. The Chinese had fought the 20th Division in Taihang Mountains several times to "use troops to recover", and he also wanted to use this trick to catch the Chinese by surprise.

However, the only lieutenant who could return to Taiyuan Airport, Lieutenant Sasaki, cried and said that it was a trap. The Chinese had set up countless anti-aircraft positions several kilometers in front of the target. There were not only a large number of 20mm machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, but also at least 8 large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Even if the fighter planes had risen to more than 3,000 meters, they were still within the range of the anti-aircraft guns.

Terauchi Shouyi hesitated again and again, and finally gave up the idea of ​​bombing again.

He knew that he had been fooled this time.

According to the battle situation, the Chinese commander stationed in Henan Province was just using the Four-Line Regiment as bait, allowing the spies to release the news, and then gathered all the anti-aircraft firepower he could to set up an ambush on the way to the target, giving his completely unprepared fleet a blow.

But he fell for it, and now he also understood that it was the opponent who took advantage of Itagaki Seishirō's eagerness for revenge. The seemingly simple design also contained enough wisdom and cruelty.

If the fleet he sent had not chosen to enter from the due north, it would have meant the destruction of an infantry regiment and thousands of casualties.

But there was no if. In order to save fuel or be reckless, the Army Aviation fleet chose to fly in a straight line, and ran headfirst into the enemy's already laid out firepower net.

The final reason why he had no choice but to give up this decision was not how many anti-aircraft guns China had, but that he understood that there must be countless pairs of eyes staring at the sky above Taiyuan Airport. As long as there are fighter planes taking off, this information will definitely be Pass it on.

And if he forcibly orders the fighter planes to take off from Yanjing Airport, the straight-line distance from Yanjing to Zhengzhou is more than 600 kilometers, which has reached the limit of the 93 bomber's combat radius. This will only give the fighter planes no more than 10 minutes to stay over the target. If it is with the Chinese When fighting in air defense positions, no matter how powerful the Chinese anti-aircraft guns are, most of the fighter planes would be unable to return to Taiyuan Airport 380 kilometers away because they ran out of fuel.

There's just one thing that the Japanese Army General still can't figure out. Were he sending out a group of pigs? After being attacked, immediately drop the bombs and pull up to return. No matter how powerful the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery group is, they can't be wiped out!

No, maybe it's not a group annihilation. After all, a single seedling came back and brought the battle situation at that time, at least letting the Japanese Army General know where he was wrong.

Perhaps, he could only obtain this question through the description of Second Lieutenant Sasaki. In Second Lieutenant Sasaki's description, whether it was Second Lieutenant Sasaki who died at the beginning or the pilots whose wings were broken over Henan Province, they were all worthy of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force. After being attacked, they fought back bravely and destroyed at least five Chinese air defense positions. However, the Chinese deployed too many machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. They even hid four large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. , which was not exposed until the middle and late stages of the battle, causing them to want to retreat but also lost the opportunity.

As for how he escaped, Sasaki also had his own explanation. He was flying at low altitude as a reconnaissance aircraft. Perhaps the Chinese let him go in order not to alert others, and waited until the fleet officially appeared over the air defense positions before suddenly Fired fiercely, and he quickly dropped his bombs to attack the enemy and then left the battlefield. When he received the order from Lieutenant Zaoshita, who took over the command of Captain Shenmu, to attack the enemy again, he had no bombs and could only watch on the wall until he saw After most of his colleagues were killed and several fighter planes were injured and left the battlefield, they were escorted from the battlefield.

However, before flying out of Henan Province, those fighter planes were all forced to make an emergency landing due to serious damage. However, they all failed to make an emergency landing, and even the chance to parachute was lost.

To this end, he hovered over several fighter planes for several weeks before returning to the airport.

When he returned, the bullet holes in his plane and the low fuel in the tank seemed to support his description.

The Type 93 bomber, which has an attack radius of 600 kilometers, can travel from Taiyuan to Zhengzhou in one and a half round trips if its fuel tank is full.

Although it was a failed air raid, it was the commander's mistake and had nothing to do with the soldiers. No matter how unhappy Terauchi was, he could only order awards to the dead pilots. The only living second lieutenant Sasaki directly became Lieutenant Sasaki.

However, the rumor that "Sasaki went on an expedition while his colleagues were not able to grow a single blade of grass" was taken in the Army Air Corps. Lieutenant Sasaki was not given a military title. He should just be his pilot, but don't become a captain and kill the whole team.

Although he has killed an entire Army Aviation Squadron except himself!

However, soon, His Excellency General Juichi Terauchi will regret his decision. Damn Sasaki is a super god of plague, especially after he became a lieutenant, his god of plague attributes seemed to have been enhanced.

The officers who wanted to kill him died one after another, but Lieutenant Sasaki was still alive and kicking around in the Army Air Force.

"Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't send me on a mission?" Sasaki kept expressing his grievance.

If I don't kill you, I will be sorry for my predecessor in Baga. Any boss Sasaki has experienced should think so.

So, they quickly became exes!

"Reporting to the group, Captain Li invited us all to attend his son's wedding banquet in ten years' time, and asked us to prepare red envelopes!" Cheng Tieshou suppressed a smile and made a serious report about Li Jiujin.

"Why are you sending out invitations so early?" Tang Dao couldn't help but feel happy. "Then why don't you treat me tonight? Just in time, I have this plan. I will finish all the things in the regiment in the afternoon and give everyone an annual holiday. Except for the security force, New Year's Eve plus New Year's Day , If the rest of the company wants to see Zhengzhou City, they can go to Zhengzhou City. If they want to sleep in a hut, I won't stop them!

However, ordinary officers and soldiers are not allowed to go out alone or in a group. If they want to go, they must be led by the squad leader. "

"Sir, you are wise!" Cheng Tieshou's big black face smiled like a black peony in full bloom.

Not only did Tang Dao want to give everyone a day off so that the officers and soldiers could go shopping in a big city like Zhengzhou, but more importantly, Tang Dao proposed that Li Laoji treat him.

"Sir, you know, my mouth is so hot! You know, I have wasted the money that I paid for my life. I'm afraid I won't be able to die under your command in the future." Li Jijin cried and looked miserable.

"Stupid, of course there has to be a reason for you to treat me. I remember that my eldest nephew is almost three years old!" Tang Dao raised his eyebrows.

"Yes! Sir, do you want to celebrate my baby's third birthday by calling a bunch of uncles to celebrate it from a distance?" Li Jijin was quite smart and responded quickly.

"Hehe, usually when you treat guests, they only open their mouths. If you say you are celebrating your baby's third birthday, they are all brothers of life and death. Do they have the nerve to only open their mouths? Think about it?" Tang Dao continued to hate Tie Bu Cheng Gang's advice.

"Yes! The commander is right. I must invite this guest. I will send an invitation to everyone above the lieutenant in the whole regiment." Li Jiujin slapped his thigh.

It was like a revelation.

Now the Sihang Regiment is not the independent battalion in the past. In addition to the three infantry battalions and the company directly under the regiment, there are four departments under the staff department. There are 21 company-level units. There are at least 40 officers above the lieutenant.

Li Jiujin, who has awakened, is very generous.

"I don't know if others feel embarrassed, anyway, I spend all my money as soon as I have it. Then I, Leng, can only bring a mouth. No, maybe there are still a few silver dollars from brothers." Leng Feng, who has not spoken much, said lightly.

Leng Feng is really not talking nonsense. Everyone knows that he is alone at this moment. This time, when he distributed military pay and bonuses, he left some money for cigarettes and gave Mrs. Yue ten dollars to buy clothes for Sanxiao for the New Year. The rest was all left to the soldiers who died in battle and were seriously injured and disabled under his command.

Facing such a person, he said that he only brought a mouth, who would have anything to say?

"Captain Leng is right! Those who have money will naturally give gifts, and those who have no money can only bring a mouth. They are all brothers in life and death, and you still don't let your brothers eat or what." Cheng Tieshou clapped his hands and laughed.

"Yes, yes, that's right." A group of officers echoed collectively.

Li Jiujin was stunned, damn, it's not terrible for one person to be shameless, but it's terrible for a group of people to be shameless.

"You are so stupid, . You just say that you will record the gift list for those who give gifts and send it back to our sister-in-law. If you don't give gifts, you write your name and indicate that you only bring a mouth, isn't that enough?" Tang Dao shook his head and left a word, and said, "That's it, let's meet at Taibai Restaurant in Zhengzhou City tonight, Li Jiujin will be responsible for the wine, I will be responsible for the dishes, and you can do whatever you want after eating and drinking!"

"Long live the commander!" A group of young officers couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Be a man, you know it!

Tang Dao wants to accompany those big businessmen. You can't just ignore them after they donate money. What's more, he still has something to talk to those businessmen about.

Li Jiujin reacted and realized that Tang Dao was joking with him. He only asked him to be responsible for the wine, which was completely within his tolerance, just a few dollars.

However, after thinking about it again, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Oh no, the commander meant to wake up some people. When he got engaged, he was busy with military affairs and didn't invite guests, and some people naturally didn't give gifts. He has already recorded some people in his little notebook." Li Jiujin blinked at Cheng Tieshou.

A group of people rolled their eyes in response, and Cheng Tieshou, who was reminded of the key point, rolled his eyes the most.

What are you thinking about? Tang Tuanzuo's father-in-law's family is very wealthy, and his family is also rich. How can they be like you, a stingy man, who is always thinking about the gift money.

However, it seems that it is not unreasonable. Anyway, everyone is rich now. The officers present have received at least 40 or 50 dollars, and some have received hundreds. They are not short of money!
