Chapter 3, Battle of Shanghai (3)

Bang! The next moment, the glass of the cockpit shattered with a sound, and a blood-red hole slowly spread across the forehead of Mori Shuyuan

"Ha ha, ha ha!" Looking at his masterpiece, the pilot grinned menacingly. The other aircraft were equally unwilling to be outdone, and they all followed suit.

Outside the riverbank, the old trees are broken, presenting a scene of desolation. Even the originally lush green grass now resembles a field that has been plowed countless times, covered with holes of various sizes

At this moment, he has waited too long and endured too much

Mori Hidemoto is the squadron leader of this flight squadron. In order to successfully complete the tasks assigned by the commander, he and his subordinates even skipped breakfast and hurriedly took off. Although he felt some complaints in his heart, at this moment, he was still overwhelmed by a strong sense of joy despite his fatigue

Then we ... ...

The noise amplification of the Zero fighter is extremely high; by the time it approaches the foxholes, the vast majority of soldiers have already been rendered temporarily deaf.

"Chinese pig, go die..." In the cockpit, a Japanese pilot wearing goggles frantically pounded on the cabin, and then the left wing shook, releasing a dark bomb that whistled as it flew towards the ground

The sound of rapid gunfire echoed as several heavy machine gunners simultaneously pulled the triggers, the canvas ammunition belts continuously shortening. Countless bullets surged forth like a swarm of enraged hornets. The Japanese aircraft, having lost their leader, were significantly weakened and, before they could react, were successively engulfed by this torrent of metallic fury

"Haha, my life has always been quite fortunate!" Liu Zishu removed a magazine from behind and replaced the spent one. During this brief moment of conversation, more than a dozen soldiers from the training squad, wearing steel helmets, had gathered behind him, squinting as they returned fire. Amidst the clattering sound of gun bolts engaging, golden shell casings fell to the ground with a crisp sound, forming a curved line.

"Bang!" A series of bullets struck the ground beneath Yang Kai, sending dust flying. The shooter was none other than Liu Zishu.

The out-of-control guidance aircraft performed two spirals in mid-air before crashing to the ground

"Motherf***er, a squad... a squad, gather ten Thompson submachine guns, charge with me!" As the Japanese planes swooped down, Liu Zishu suddenly snatched the weapon from a nearby soldier and fired a series of precise shots into the sky.

What is even more terrifying is that, due to the timing and speed of this raid being perfectly executed, Zhao Yongde's side was unable to organize any effective resistance. Occasionally, a few defiant veterans would raise their guns to shoot, but it was akin to moths flying into a flame, and they were quickly incapacitated due to excessive exposure.

"Get down, all of you get down!" In the chaotic battlefield, Zhao Yongde appeared like a drunken man, shouting in a staggered manner. Nevertheless, countless soldiers around him were still being thrown up and torn apart.

Boom! A bomb exploded in a trench not far from him, turning several machine gunners to ashes. The raindrop-like soil fell on Zhao Yongde's steel helmet, making a continuous "thud thud thud" sound.

In an instant, the cries fell like rain, and the roars resounded like mountains

When the last vestiges of consciousness left him, Hidegen Maori seemed to see a figure holding a sniper rifle slowly remove a shell from its chamber at the original position, and then, there was eternal darkness

The startled crowd instinctively raised their heads and looked towards the source of the sound

Upon thinking of this, he spoke a series of Japanese words into the intercom, then slowed down the speed of the aircraft behind him, preparing to bypass the nearby hill and conduct the third round of turning bombardment

At this point, he recklessly charged towards Liu Zishu's direction

Everyone concealed themselves and dispersed to the ground. The machine gun squad set up the machine gun, waiting for the Japanese planes to approach, and then would engage in crossfire to catch them off guard

Damn it, it seems that Nanshan Airport has already fallen. The commander of the little devils intends to defeat us one by one, then consolidate their forces to launch a heavy strike here, determining the outcome of the battle in one go

It is ! ''

Looking around, this defense line, which has been fiercely defended by Chinese soldiers who have fought bravely and sacrificed their lives, is already on the verge of collapse. As long as I make one more round trip, I can notify the soldiers on the other side to launch the landing. At that time, the prosperous city of Shanghai will be incorporated into the territory of the Imperial Japanese Army, followed by China, East Asia, and the entire world

The goal is getting closer. Watching the clouds rapidly retreating on both sides, Mao Li Xiu Yuan has begun to envision the honor of having the Commander-in-Chief personally pin the medal on his chest upon his return. However, at that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught sight of a bright object flashing in the nearby greenery.

Wishing you a long life! At the moment the voice appeared, Yang Kai had already vanished

However, his voice was soon drowned out by the cacophony of gunfire and explosions

"Teacher, be careful!" The clerk immediately tackled Zhao Yongde beside him, pinning him down firmly.

This is not a dream

When they were more than twenty meters away from the position, the Japanese planes suddenly changed formation, with the first five aircraft rotating forty-five degrees and diving down headfirst

Yang Kai ... ... this ... ... this ... ...

"It is too late, all is too late," Yang Kai said helplessly, shaking his head. "The only thing we can do now is to take a step back, exchanging space for time, and completely resolve this deadlock."

The sound of responses rose and fell like waves, and then the entire unit immediately dispersed, taking cover in various concealed spots on the hills, leaving only a few heavy machine gunners who began to busily provide cover for the machine guns, pulling the ammunition belts

However, the fall of the first few aircraft ultimately bought precious time for their companions. Before long, six planes that had escaped the fire net were buzzing toward the hills.

The tongue of the machine gun, piercing through the smoke that diffuses in the air, relentlessly cultivates this steel defense line constructed from life and dignity, as if it were a torrential downpour.

You ... ... " Yang Kai widened his eyes

At this moment, his eyes were blood-red, staring at Yang Kai like an enraged leopard: "You are the one who has gone mad. Don't think I don't know what you are trying to do. As the captain, I command you to lead everyone to retreat to the sides. I will take responsibility for this!"

"If we don't draw the firepower of the enemy planes, we will all be done for!" Liu Zishu shouted in a voice that was almost hoarse

Nodding slightly, Yang Kai gritted his teeth and swiftly slid down the hill. In this world, no one understood this captain better than he did. Since the other party had already made a decision, it was impossible to retract it. The only thing he could do now was to do his utmost to eliminate these iron contraptions flying around.

Nothing is more exhilarating than this, nor is there anything that stirs the blood more than this

Hearing his words, Yang Kai, who was preparing to load the bullet, turned his face in astonishment, his expression filled with disbelief: "Team Leader Liu, have you lost your mind?"

In an instant, a tremendous explosion resounded, and brilliant flames suddenly erupted among the crowd. Sandbags from the fortifications were hurled into the air one after another, and the Nationalist soldiers who could not retreat were blown to pieces, with blood and flesh scattering everywhere, amidst the leaping flames and the pervasive mist of blood

Wiping the dust off his face, Zhao Yongde pulled out a document from the ruins and, with a dark expression, roared, "Dogs and the Day of Books! This is too much! First it was planes, now it's bombs!"

Disperse! Cover the machine gun team as they withdraw to Shooting Point No. 2! At this critical moment, Yang Kai clenched his right fist, extended his index finger, and made a standard tactical gesture. Upon witnessing this scene, everyone amidst the overwhelming noise immediately understood and made way. The heavy machine gunners, completely exposed to the Japanese forces' line of sight, swiftly dismantled their tripods and rolled to the sides, wrapped in their coats. This subtle process alone demonstrates that the coordination ability of this team is far beyond that of a ragtag army.

If they are busy, then Zhao Yongde's side is in complete disarray

As the first round of attacks had just concluded, a piercing shriek echoed once more. The remaining aircraft emerged from the clouds like phantoms, and the aircraft's machine guns unleashed a torrential downpour of bullets, causing dust to fly up on both sides of the defending troops' positions. The mud, mixed with fragments of flesh and blood, was stained a deep crimson, a sight that was truly shocking

Gunners No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 formed a crossfire, first ensnaring the few planes in the middle, then proceeding. No. 5 and No. 6, you are free to fire, the aim is to attract the attention of the wings. Follow my command... Fire!" Adjusting his steel helmet, Yang Kai forcefully brought down his hand that was suspended in mid-air

One aircraft, two aircraft, three aircraft... Liu Zishu trembled as she counted with her hand. In the reddish-brown haze, at least ten fighter planes painted with bright red patches were sweeping towards the tidal flats.

National grievances and familial resentments, both new and old, shall be settled together
