Chapter 17 Bomb the city

"Buzzing" came the sound of a motor, and 8 Japanese bombers flew from west to Changde City and circled half a circle. "Boom!" The anti-aircraft artillery position in Ximen has already released two shells.As far as the naked eye could see, two white cloud spots bloomed among the enemy planes.But the flower was still two or three feet away from the lead plane.At the same time, "Chi Chi Chi", the sound of the bomb breaking through the air broke out, and under the enemy plane, there were countless oblong black spots, which were thrown downward, "Boom, boom, boom!" When the bomb landed, there was a violent explosion. , resounding everywhere in Changde City.The anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns on the ground, "crack, bang! bang, bang!" Changde City was originally surrounded by the sound of guns, but now there are two more voices from the sky and the ground.Not only the stimulation of the sound, but also the cruel landscape of the war scene can be described by the changing color of the wind and the cloud, and the darkness of the sun and the moon.

Regardless of the danger, Commander Yu Chengwan and Chief of Staff Pi Xuanyou stood in front of a small bunker on the side of Xingjiekou Road to observe the fire.Yu Chengwan held the binoculars in both hands, and looked at a clump of flames rising above the north gate.He gave a few instructions to the staff behind him, and after a while, a group of soldiers ran towards the flame.However, five enemy planes were still hovering over the north gate area, and from time to time, small black-shaped things fell out of the wings.When the city was bombed, the people in the city were most afraid of the wind, but at this time the northwest wind became stronger and stronger. The flames were blown by the wind, and the black smoke rolled to the south. Countless sparks sprayed from the cigarette butt, like a huge monster.At this time, there were two loud bangs of "dong dong", and two puffs of black smoke rose from the west gate, covering the northwest corner, and there were five fires in the city.The whistling of the northwest wind blows these five flames to one side and merges in mid-air, so that the whole city is shrouded in smoke.The wind blows towards people, not only not cold, but also makes people feel like they are warming by the fire.

It was a cloudy day, with dense clouds and a black flame, the sky was almost dark.It was dark, but the flames turned red, and the group of smoke that merged into the sky had turned into a volcano. There were more than a dozen peaks on this volcano, and the bloody clouds were yellow with purple, very Quickly spinning in mid-air, gradually rising.Sparks, rockets, fire belts, in each bloody cloud, blossoms and shoots indiscriminately.Yu Chengwan and many people from the division headquarters stood on the street watching, their bodies covered in blood as if they were by a fire. This kind of fire was exactly the opportunity for the Japanese army to attack.Cannons from all directions advanced the time of the offensive, and "boom boom boom boom" sounded.The artillery in the northwest corner probably transferred the large-caliber artillery of the 68th Division, only to hear "cracking, crackling" several times, as if a summer storm suddenly came, and thunder exploded in mid-air.At the same time, the light and heavy machine guns also opened the waterfall-like sluice, venting wildly towards the national army positions.The northwest wind blew stronger and stronger, and pushed through several fire nets towards the officers of the 57th Division standing on the street.Such a tragic scene is extremely rare for these veterans who were born and died in the battlefield. They stood there in a daze, speechless.

Yu Chengwan said to himself: "How many times can I watch this great scene in my life?" Pi Xuanyou heard this, and said: "Master, it can be said that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, but the color does not change." Yu Chengwan smiled and said, "You are not ambiguous! You have been busy for more than a day but forgot a big event!" Pi Xuanyou stood at attention to Commander Yu, and said solemnly: "Report to Commander, all the tasks assigned have been completed!" Yu Chengwan patted his hand on his stomach: "Like you, I also forgot about it. We haven't eaten a single pill from yesterday morning to today. Let's go and eat something together, from today till night Xiao, I don’t have time to take care of my mouth anymore.”

Pi Xuanyou slapped his head: "By the way, no wonder why I'm so tired that I have no strength at all. It turns out I'm so hungry!" It is said to be a meal, but it is actually a bowl of rice soup, with a few rice balls entrained, and then swallowed with pickles that are as dry as salt blocks. The commander of the division headquarters can eat such a good meal, but it is hard to say what the soldiers of the company below eat. Sure enough, before Yu Chengwan finished his meal, the phone at the command post rang, full of battle reports, which can be summed up in two words: critical!
