Chapter 365: Extreme Emotions (Please subscribe! Please vote!)
On November 8, Lei Xiong's troops shot down a total of 8 Japanese planes, and the bodies or body parts of 8 Japanese pilots were found.
Eight people were killed, and three trucks and one heavy machine gun were damaged in the battle. The battle damage ratio was almost 1:1.
The corpses and body parts of the Japanese pilots were dug into a big pit and buried together. It's not that there was any kindness to let them be buried in peace, but the aroma of being roasted by the flames wafted in the wilderness, which was really stimulating to the human sense of smell. Yes, the smell of it makes me unable to eat.
The graves of the eight sacrificed soldiers are also joint tombs, located just above the Japanese graves. Even if they are dead, they must be stepped on.
More than 100 refugees died due to the Japanese bombing, and the soldiers organized the refugees to dig out large graves and bury them.
At night, Lei Xiong sent the results of the battle to the Songjiang headquarters.
Nearly stunned the two top commanders.
If the results of the eight Japanese aircraft were enough to make people happy, then Lei Xiong's so-called 1:1 battle loss ratio turned the joy into shock.
They knew that the Sixing Battalion was awesome, otherwise they would not have sent such an elite force to guard the bridge when Songjiang was in such a crisis, but they never thought that it would be so awesome, so awesome that they used infantry and aviation to come together. Change one.
So much so that they couldn't believe it.
But they also knew that there was no need for Lei Xiong to lie about this.
However, after discussing it, they chose to hide this shocking result of the victory, not to mention announcing it to the entire army and the country, not even Tantai Mingyue and the returning Tang Dao.
It's not that I'm afraid of going up to the peak to question such incredible results, but if tomorrow's major newspapers report it so cheerfully, it will definitely stimulate the already injured Japanese navy.
One squadron is not enough, what if we send two or even three? Even if the Japanese army directly bombed the bridge regardless of the offensive route needed by the Japanese army, no matter how good the tactics and how brave Lei Xiong's troops were, they would probably only end up in the battlefield.
It would be better to pretend that nothing happened for the time being, and let the senior officials of the Japanese fleet who are still on the sea have time to think about how to wipe this ass.
The loss of eight fighter planes in one battle is not dispensable for the Japanese fleet, which has nearly a hundred fighters. They will definitely find a way to erase this battle loss, and even if things go wrong, they will ask the Japanese Army to take the blame for them.
For example, the main battlefield in Songjiang or the main battlefield in western Shanghai will never be in the small Baihe Port.
A general is a general. He stands at a different height, and his vision and layout are also different.
They guessed correctly what Kiyoshi Hasegawa, commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, was thinking.
This kind of shame, which is similar to wearing the emperor's new clothes and walking on the street, will be difficult to erase even if the entire Baihegang Bridge area is razed to the ground. The base camp will definitely criticize him, and the army will even add insult to injury.
This point can be figured out even by Kiyoshi Hasegawa as a heel player.
Since China has no navy at all, the Japanese naval fleet, which dispatched three aircraft carriers and dozens of ships of various types, can only spend most of its time blowing wind at sea, in addition to using aircraft and naval guns to prove its bravery on land.
To put it bluntly, in the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese Navy was a auxiliary, while the Japanese Army was the main attacker.
It would be strange for the proud main attacker to not catch the auxiliary's mistakes and not to ridicule them.
The only way to avoid being humiliated by one's own people is to be calm, pretend it's nothing, and continue to send planes to participate in the war in Huxi and Songjiang City tomorrow.
It was a fierce battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops. The battle losses accumulated little by little, and only 8 aircraft were needed.
As for the Baihe Port Bridge, the Army likes to do whatever it takes. At worst, they have to swim across the river by themselves. Anyway, their naval planes only need to step on the accelerator to cross the river.
As for revenge, for a naval admiral who is more proficient in politics than military, those are useless emotions. As long as the Tenth Army captures Songjiang, the Chinese people in Baihe Port will be dead.
The only thing the admiral is worried about is China. Don't let this matter be publicized to the whole of China. Then even if he intends to swallow this battle alive like eating food, he can only make his own response. .
Fortunately, the Chinese are not stupid either! This was what the Japanese admiral, who had been frustrated all night, wanted to see.
The Chinese Army Lieutenant General and the Japanese Navy Admiral have enough tacit understanding, but Commander Yanagawa Heisuke of the Japanese Tenth Army does not.
He is bound to win the Baihegang Bridge, the only road from the Songjiang area to the north to Kunshan.
Especially after Hisao Tani accidentally died in Matsue.
Even if one of the Chinese defenders escaped, he felt sorry for Mr. Gu, whose corpse was all stiff.
There has been no response from the Navy and Malus, so we have to rely on ourselves.
Throughout the day on November 9, the number of refugees heading north from Kunshan to Jinling via the Baihegang Bridge continued to increase.
Many of them were residents of Songjiang City. They originally thought that they could return home after taking shelter from the war with relatives in the countryside, but they did not expect that the Japanese were so cruel. For several days, the news reached the ears of these people that either the Japanese massacred that village or how many people the Japanese had killed.
It seems that we can no longer stay in our hometown and can only escape as far away as possible before the Japanese occupy Songjiang City.
Only when you are alive can you have the opportunity to go home.
It is human instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
However, crossing the bridge is not an easy task.
In order to prevent the bridge from being attacked and damaged by Japanese spies, Lei Xiong issued a military order after arriving at Baihe Port that no one was allowed to cross the bridge at night.
Moreover, a checkpoint was set up on the main road more than 100 meters away from the bridge to check the refugees.
The continuous influx of refugees from the main road coupled with yesterday's fighting means that there are nearly 10,000 people stranded on the south bank of the bridge.
Everyone must check the doorsteps and unpack their belongings one by one to avoid weapons or explosives.
There are many such people. In the past two days, more than a dozen people have been found to be carrying pistols and grenades.
There may be some armed escorts of merchants and broken soldiers who retreated from other places, but after entering the inspection area, everyone was reminded that they can hand it in voluntarily, and they can return it after leaving the bridge.
Those who did not voluntarily hand it over and still kept their weapons were naturally people with ulterior motives. Regardless of whether they had anything to do with the Japanese or not, the soldiers would mercilessly push them to the side of the road and shoot them.
In this way, it will naturally take a long time.
From early morning to afternoon, only five to six thousand people crossed the bridge, and thousands more were stranded in the wilderness waiting.
For those who are fleeing, every minute and every second may be a chance to survive. This time has been waiting for a long time, and the refugees will inevitably complain. With the help of some caring people, the refugees continue to appear and start rushing. the behavior of.
Although the Chinese soldiers had military orders, they could not point bayonets at the old men with gray hair in ragged clothes or the women carrying their clothes and holding their children. They could only use their words to persuade them.
But obviously, this is not very effective for people who are eager to leave this place.
As the bridgehead commander of the bridge, even though Li Jiujin, the second platoon commander, was experienced, he could only sweat profusely when facing thousands of people who were about to lose control, but he could not come up with an effective method for a while.
He asked Lei Xiong, the top officer of the entire defense circle, for support, but Lei Xiong just replied: "Rinin, you can't even deal with the common people, how can I expect you to deal with the Japanese? Otherwise, I can send a telegram for you." Ask the battalion commander how to do it?"
It's not that Lei Xiong doesn't want to spare his manpower to help him, but that the Japanese aircraft formation suffered a loss yesterday and is not sure how it will retaliate today. The positions of the three air defense positions have been exposed, and new positions have been constructed since last night.
He, the supreme commander, had to worry about redeploying firepower personnel, so he still had time to take care of the small things like Li Jijin's checking of refugees crossing the river?
Whether to suppress with force or try to appease and maintain order depends on Li Jijin's ability to adapt to the situation.
Two light machine guns and more than twenty guns protruding from the fortifications were already aimed at the people who were constantly attacking the defense line. The sweat on Li Jijin's face was pouring down.
He did not expect that the harmonious situation between the army and the people, which had achieved brilliant results because of their resolute counterattack yesterday, would evolve into this.
But he knew better that shooting and killing as a warning was the easiest way. But once the refugees spread the news that "soldiers shot and killed refugees", not to mention him as an army second lieutenant, not even Lei Xiong and Tang Dao could afford it. This reputation.
Maybe the Si Xingying, which had just gained a glorious reputation and was famous all over the world, would become famous all over the world again because of this incident, but this time it would be infamous.
In the five thousand years of China's history, anyone who kills civilians will basically be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
Hundreds of people gathered in a wilderness three hundred meters away from the bridge.
There were women and children, some old people, and most of them were adult men.
Women and children are at the lowest level in the war, and the number is slightly smaller, which is normal. ,
A middle-aged man wearing tattered clothes and a dirty face looked at the chaotic scene in the distance with a proud look on his face.
“Lieutenant Nishikawa, the Chinese are already panicking! Your strategy is clever.” A man of about the same age squatting next to him looked around and sang a hymn to the proud-looking man in a low voice.
“Hasgu, my teacher once told me that crazy slogans are of course more contagious than rigorous logic, and extreme emotions are naturally more contagious than complex reality.” The man's eyes were full of pride.
"Look, those stupid Chinese people didn't even care about the soldiers who helped them fight **** battles for themselves. The reason why their reason was wiped out so quickly is just that we helped them increase their anxiety a little bit."
“You've been taught a lesson!” The man's face showed deep admiration and he nodded fiercely.
This is the typical attitude of subordinates towards their superiors. Regardless of whether they understand or not, they just look like they have learned a lot.
