Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 817

Chapter 817 Have a lively New Year!

Because of this unexpected "fireworks" feast, the hearts of the people in the venue were tossed up and down several times like an elevator.

However, for most people, the joy far outweighs the panic.

Although the battlefield was right in front of them, the Japanese fighter planes were basically forced to drop their bombs several kilometers away. Apart from the loud noise, the people did not experience the horror of heavy aerial bombs, but what they saw was The Japanese planes looked like birds being hunted amidst the frenzied fire from our own air defense forces. The feeling should not be too exciting.

Of course, the more important thing is that the determination of the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment also gave them enough confidence. At the moment when the Japanese planes were approaching menacingly in the sky and everyone's face was as pale as paper, the people standing in the same trench with them The officers and soldiers of the Si Xing Regiment were unmoved.

Even, they heard someone placing bets at the opening.

“I bet that the Japanese planes will be shot down before they can reach Company Commander Cheng's air defense position! I'll pay you one against one, so you're welcome to place your bets!” Old Abacus's loud voice could be heard by people in the trenches hundreds of meters away.

Several captains with higher military rank than Lao Baanpan glanced at Lao Baanpan who was gambling over there, but no one tried to stop him.

They all know that there are woods and trenches here, but they are much more concealed than the trenches on the front line that have been blown bare by artillery fire. Not to mention that the regiment headquarters has already sent the order. This is a well-prepared air defense. In the battle, even if the Japanese planes flew over and dropped bombs, it wouldn't be a big deal for them, who were nearly a kilometer away from the venue.

But the people don't know! Once someone wants to escape out of fear, it will be a big deal if he is killed by a Japanese plane. The Japanese plane will be attracted to him and he will be finished.

Lao Abacus's move can be regarded as a reassuring move, and it is more effective than the soldiers with guns and live ammunition standing at the edge of the trench to maintain order.

“Uncle Jia, please rest assured. Ever since I fought with Chief Tang and the Japanese army, the Japanese army has never taken advantage!” Qian Dazhu's words, which had been accompanying Jia Dongxing and a group of people, also made the 'celebrity' feel at ease.

Facts have proved that the confidence of the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment is not in vain.

None of the Japanese planes reached a position 2 kilometers away from the crowd. The artillery fire all over the sky scared them away, and then shot them down one by one.

It's really like Tang Dao said, giving everyone a New Year's 'fireworks'!

No one expected this. Not only did they watch a grand military parade and program of the Four Troops, but they also watched a ground-to-air battle at close range. This experience alone can last a lifetime.

Perhaps people at this time have not realized that it will not be long before such battles break out in the air and will not be uncommon on the land of China.

As the Japanese army pressed closer and closer, China, which had never given up resistance, fought bravely in large cities one by one. The Japanese army had to send fighter planes to carry out bombings, and the weak Chinese Air Force also fought back with all its strength.

In the sky, Chinese and Japanese fighter planes fought hard. On the ground, hundreds of thousands of people watched the battle eagerly.

Our fighter plane caught fire and crashed, and the people cried. The Japanese fighter plane was hit and exploded, and the people cheered.

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

But no matter what, I was more happy than frightened on this day.

When the soldiers and civilians returned to the venue, they performed several more performances. The chefs who stood in front of the stove again cooked the meat. The aroma spread throughout the country, and the lively flowing banquet 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 have not been completely planed and with fresh wood thorns exposed in some places are neatly placed.

The venue was still too small, and there was no room for many tables and benches, so they were placed directly in the unmaintained wilderness.

When put together, the length reaches 50 meters. There are 20 rows of long tables that can seat 200 people eating at the same time, which is enough for nearly 4,000 people to sit down and enjoy a meal at the same time.

The long wooden table is 0.8 meters wide, with people sitting on both sides. The width can reach 1.8 meters. There is still a gap of one meter between each row for the waiters to serve food. With twenty rows of long tables lined up, there are almost 500 people. It's only one meter long, so it would take three minutes to go from the first row to the last row, let alone walking.

The 60 waiters provided by the restaurant were probably not even enough for a small change. Mayor Huang, who had received a lot of benefits, did not lose face at this moment and personally brought 300 town residents to help serve the dishes.

A variety of braised meats are being served on the table, and the smoke of burning wood and the aroma of meat are lingering in the spacious place.

A small group of 4,000 people divided by region ate together at the table. 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 you could pour it from your own bowl.

It's just that for these people, meat is obviously more attractive than wine. The feeling of eating fat meat in large pieces, especially if it is free, is not too beautiful.

But given the scale, there were still thousands of people watching outside the venue, and the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment were also waiting for the people to finish eating before preparing to serve it.

"My dear! This scene is really awesome. When my son gets married, if I can put on a show like this, I will definitely be proud of myself." Li Jijin licked his lips, feeling attracted by this The scene was so shocking that they couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm talking about Lao Li! Don't wait for your son to get married. Of all the company commanders in the regiment, you, Commander Li, can save money. In the evening, you invite a few of our old brothers to have a good meal at the Zhengzhou City Restaurant. From now on, I will be huge When Hai sees you, he salutes you with a military salute. In Japanese terms, he is definitely a great face," Pang Hai on the other side joked.

"I'm sorry, your old man is so short-sighted that you only focus on the little money I have worked so hard to save. Last time, I invited you **** to eat baked potatoes. Why did you forget so quickly?" Li Jijin's biggest taboo was the ocean he had worked so hard to save. When he heard Pang Dahai was encouraging him to treat him, his eyes almost turned green.

"Old Pang, don't irritate my Jiujin brother. Our Jiujin sister-in-law's two big kitchen knives are even scary to bandits. You think my Jiujin brother dares to spend money randomly! Don't go back, my Jiujin sister-in-law is Seeing that he didn't bring any money, he just chopped up my Jiujin brother and made dumpling fillings!” After the battle, Cheng Tieshou, who brought his 2nd artillery company and hurriedly returned to the venue, smiled like a flower.

All the merits this time belong to the First War Zone, and the fallen aircraft wreckage will naturally be cleaned up by those troops. The 2nd Artillery Company didn't have to clean up the mess at all. They just packed up the equipment and put it on the pack horse, and then came back to drink and eat meat. .

A great victory was won, no brothers in the company were lost, and some newcomers were given actual combat training. How could Cheng Tieshou be unhappy?

"You believe it or not, I'm bastardizing you for being so black-faced and slobbering all over your face. I'm telling you **** not to use your sister-in-law to provoke me. I saved up the dowry for my daughter-in-law, and no one can even think of spending even half of it. "Li Jijin sneered, looking like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

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

He rolled his eyes, thought of something, and slapped his thigh: "That's right! When the time comes, one of you will count as one, and all of you will be present when my son gets married. As an uncle, remember to prepare a big red envelope!"

“I” Pang Dahai was stunned.

He has seen shameless people, but never such shameless ones. His son is just a little bit older, but he is really thinking about the red envelopes from his colleagues.

Besides, it's not easy to refute him. After all, we all want to live until that day, don't we? The subtext in Lao Li's words is also a New Year's blessing, wishing everyone to live for another ten years.

This would be insulting in ordinary times, but in these war years, every extra year of life is earned.

"You two, what are you talking about so happily?" Tang Dao strode over from outside the venue.

Cheng Tieshou came back directly with the 2nd Artillery Battery, but Tang Dao, the commander-in-chief, could not just get out of the way after he shot down the plane. He had to meet with the air defense battalion commanders and company commanders who had made great achievements.

The news of the downing of the Japanese plane had already been reported by the signal troops to Commander Cheng who was stationed at the headquarters in the city through the field radio. Tang Dao saluted and shook hands with the battalion commanders and company commanders who were fighting side by side, and asked them to clean the battlefield, and then according to the headquarters The military orders were returned to the headquarters of various ministries.

It is no big deal for Tang Dao, the commander-in-chief, to step down after the war, but these air defense forces cannot relax. In order to prevent the Japanese army from retaliating, they must be on 24-hour combat duty.

Of course, when Tang Dao directly handed over the command to Colonel Fan, he also believed that there should be no fighting today. The Japanese army had just suffered heavy losses. Knowing that a large amount of air defense equipment was gathered here, he wanted to organize a wave of bombings, unless it was someone else. The commander was confused.

Actually, Tang Dao really underestimated Juichi Terauchi.

After receiving news from Taiyuan, "Only one fighter plane has returned, and the rest have perished!" After hearing the news, His Excellency General Terauchi Juichi, who was stationed in Yanjing, almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. At the same time, he immediately sent an order to the 89th Brigade of the Army Aviation Group stationed at Yanjing Airport, ordering them to immediately prepare 24 bombers and transfer to Taiyuan. The target continued the second wave of bombing.

The general commander of Japan's North China Expeditionary Force has a very clear mind. The Chinese have just won a great victory and will definitely relax their vigilance. The Chinese attacked the 20th Division in the Taihang Mountains several times and "recovered with troops," and he also wanted to use this move to catch the Chinese by surprise.

However, Lieutenant Sasaki, the only one who could return to Taiyuan Airport, cried that it was a trap. The Chinese set up countless air defense positions several kilometers in front of the target. Not only did they have a large number of 20mm machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and even There are at least 8 large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Even if the fighter plane has been raised to more than 3,000 meters, it is still within the range of this type of anti-aircraft guns.

Tōuchi Touichi hesitated again and again, and finally gave up the idea of bombing again. He understood that he had been fooled this time.

According to the situation of the war, the Chinese commander stationed in Yu Province just used the Four Lines Regiment as a decoy, allowing the spies to release the news, and then gathered all the air defense firepower he could muster to set up an ambush on the road that must pass through the target. It was a blow to the completely defenseless fleet of aircraft under his command.

But he happened to be fooled by this, and now he also understands that it was his opponent taking advantage of Itagaki Seishiro's eagerness for revenge. It seemed like a simple design, but it also contained enough wisdom and ruthlessness.

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

But there were no what-ifs. In order to save fuel or be unscrupulous, the Army Air Force fleet chose to fly in a straight line and ran into the firepower network that the opponent had already laid out.

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 is 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 raise the altitude 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 total annihilation. After all, a single seedling came back, which brought the situation of the war at that time, and at least let 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 they could fly out of Henan Province, those fighter planes were all forced to make an emergency landing due to severe 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 left in his plane and the little fuel left 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.

It's just that the rumor "Sasaki went on an expedition, but his colleagues couldn't grow a 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 him!

It's just that soon, His Excellency General Juichi Terauchi will regret his decision. Damn it, Sasaki is a super plague god, especially after he became a lieutenant, his 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 air force.

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

Without killing you, I will be sorry for my predecessor in Baga. Any boss Sasaki has ever experienced should think so.

So, they soon became exes!

“Reporting to the group, Captain Li has 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 send invitations so early?” Tang Dao couldn't help but feel happy. "Then why don't you treat us tonight? Just in time, I have this plan. I will finish all the work 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 **** face smiled like a black peony in full bloom.

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

"Sir, you know, my mouth is so hot! You know, I have wasted the money 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 must 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 group of uncles to celebrate it from a distance?" Li Jiujin was quite smart and responded quickly.

"Hey, when you usually treat guests, they only bring their mouths. If you say that you are celebrating your baby's third birthday, they are all brothers of life and death. How dare they just bring their mouths? Think about it?" Tang Dao continued to hate Tie Bu Cheng Gang's advice.

"That's right! The officer is right, I must invite this guest, and everyone above the rank of lieutenant in the whole regiment should send an invitation." Li Jijin slapped his thigh.

It's like having an enlightenment.

The current Si Xing Regiment is not the independent battalion of the past. In addition to the three infantry battalions and the company directly under the regiment headquarters, the company-level unit also has four departments below the staff headquarters. There are 21 company-level units, and there are only 50 officers above the lieutenant level. There are also small 40's.

Li Jiujin, who has awakened, is not that big-hearted.

"I don't know if other people are embarrassed. Anyway, I spend all my money as soon as I have it. I'm afraid Leng will have to open his mouth. No, maybe I still have a few cents of silver." The man on the side didn't say much. Leng Feng, who spoke, said calmly.

Leng Feng is really not talking nonsense. Everyone knows that he is alone at the moment. This time he paid out military pay and bonuses. In addition to keeping some cigarette money, he also gave Mrs. Yue ten yuan to buy New Year clothes for the third child. It was left to the soldiers who died under his command and were severely wounded and maimed.

Facing such a person, who says he just opens his mouth, what can he say?

"Captain Leng is right! Those who have money will naturally give it to them. Those who don't have money can only open their mouths. We are all brothers in life and death, so why don't you let your brothers eat?" Cheng Tieshou clapped his hands in great joy.

“Yes, yes, that's true.” A group of officers collectively echoed.

Li Jijin was dumbfounded. Damn it, it's not scary if a person is shameless. What's scary is that a group of people are shameless.

"You are ignorant, just say that you will write down the gift list for everyone who gives gifts, and send it back to our sister-in-law. If you don't give gifts, write down the names of those who don't give gifts, and just open your mouth to indicate it later. Isn't that the end?" Tang Dao shook his head. Without saying a word, he walked away: "That's it, let's meet at Taibai Restaurant in Zhengzhou City in the evening. Li Jijin will be in charge of the wine and I will be in charge of the dishes. After you have eaten and drank enough, you can do whatever you like!"

“Long live sir!” A group of young officers couldn't help but cheer loudly.

It's a man, everyone knows it!

Tang Dao is going to accompany those big businessmen. You can't just ignore them if they donate money, not to mention that he still has something to talk to those businessmen.

Li Jijin realized that Tang Dao was joking with him and only asked him to be responsible for the wine, which was completely within his tolerance. It was only a matter of a few yuan.

But, after thinking about it again, I always felt that something was wrong.

"That's bad, sir, you want to wake up some people. When he got engaged, he was busy with military affairs and didn't treat guests. And some people also didn't give gifts as a matter of course. He has already recorded some people in his notebook." Li Jiu Jin Zhongcheng Tiedou blinked.

The group of people looked back with big eyes, especially the one from Cheng Tieshou who was reminded of the important point.

What are you thinking about? My father-in-law, Tang Tuanzuo, has a lot of money in his family, and his own family also has a lot of extra money. He will be like you, an old man, thinking about gifts every day.

However, it seems not unreasonable. Anyway, no one is short of money now. The officers present have made forty or fifty yuan at least, and some have hundreds, so they are not short of money!
