Chapter 519: Holy Spear Group
Chapter 519: Holy Spear Group
"It will be sent soon, but it cannot be sent here now. If a warship like this loses contact, I guess they will go crazy. Be careful and be prepared for their revenge at any time."
At daybreak, the warship was dismantled. Dozens of kilograms of explosives were fixed on the propeller and the rear side of the hull. With a violent explosion, the propeller became scrap metal and the sealed cabin was flooded. The warship was essentially abandoned on the beach.
Heavy artillery was set up behind the hillside on the east side of the town, on a reverse slope, a very familiar artillery tactic. Twelve heavy artillery pieces were aimed at the sea, covered with huge logs, on top of which were piled high mounds of earth. There was no cement, so this was the best defense measure.
The residents received food and Helan shields and were very satisfied with this team. Looking at the soldiers armed to the teeth, the elderly showed kind eyes, many girls had love in their eyes, and the young men also looked at them with warm eyes.
The conscription notice has been posted. This is the team of the Holy Spear in the indigenous language, and its name is the Holy Spear Regiment. The team went down the mountain to save people in distress and join the holy war to resist aggression. This is the meaning of the Holy Spear team's existence. Don't join if you are afraid of death, and don't join if you want to get promoted or make money.
The registration office was packed with people, men and women, young and old, all gathered around to watch the fun. Li Ergou decisively moved the registration office behind the mountain, and people were crowded together in case an enemy cruiser attacked, a round of salvos would turn the place into hell on earth.
Li Ergou was very strict in recruiting soldiers. There was no limit on gender, but the age must be under 20 years old and there must be fanaticism in the eyes. There were more than 8,000 people living in and around a small town, and more than 3,000 people signed up. Li Ergou only accepted more than 300 people, including 123 veterans and more than 200 people from Old Chen's place. The ratio was one to one. If there were more people, it would be difficult to control their thoughts.
The cruiser of the Dutch-Indian Army arrived, and Van Diewen had to see who dared to attack their colony. When he saw through the telescope that the modified warship was stranded on the beach and seemed to have been damaged, Van Diewen on the cruiser was stunned.
boom! Boom boom boom!
The team members who were observing and on guard reported the discovery of the enemy ship in time. The heavy artillery adjusted the scales and fired, and all the bullets fell into the sea in one round.
Van Diewen was furious and ordered the warships to move and fight back. Before the artillery positions were mapped out, more than ten shells whizzed over and fell into the sea near the cruiser in front of Van Diewen's terrified eyes. A huge column of water rose and all the soldiers on the warships were soaked.
boom! Boom boom boom!
The cruiser's guns fired, and seven large-caliber shells flew towards the distant mountains. A huge mushroom cloud rose. Van Diwen smiled happily, and was about to order the fire to continue, to destroy the enemy completely, when the shells came again. This time they were not so lucky. Two of the more than ten shells hit the warship, blowing a big hole in the deck and destroying the observation tower.
"Retreat! Quick, get out of range."
The cruiser did not dare to continue firing. It increased its speed, made a big circle, and disappeared into the vast sea with black smoke.
Half an hour later, the fireworks went out. Van Diewen looked worried. There were only two cruisers! This ship might need a major overhaul, but where could it be overhauled? The country was gone.
We must report to the royal family and ask the British to stop fighting here. Let the rioters have their fun for now! They will take revenge sooner or later.
After repelling the Dutch-Indian cruiser, the merchant ship transporting cement arrived in the evening, along with 216 new recruits, all of whom were recruited by Mr. Chen himself and had gone through layers of screening.
The two commanders, Li Ergou, are in charge of training, Ding San and a middle-aged man named Chen Shumin are in charge of construction and defense, and the Holy Spear Regiment in Nanyang is rapidly expanding.
On October 10, the time for the five pilots to rush to the rescue had come, but not all of them left. They had to pass through a long distance through the Japanese-occupied area, and five planes flying together would likely attract the attention of the Japanese army.
Chen Feng prepared two pens for Lin Heng's elder sister and brother-in-law. Both were torn off from the Japanese division commander's body. They were not valuable, but meaningful enough to be gifts. In addition to the two pens, Lin Heng also brought a glory bullet and did not follow Chen Feng's arrangements to prepare a parachute.
"Four brothers, Captain Lengqiang, I'm going to explore the way first, wait for my good news."
The bomb-hanging position on one side of the Jifeng fighter is equipped with a 300-liter auxiliary fuel tank, otherwise it would not be able to fly to Chongqing and land.
"Lin Heng, take your parachute! It's not shameful to be captured. I will lead the team to rescue you."
Lin Heng had already sat in the driver's seat and shook his head when he heard this:
"Captain Leng Qiang, don't worry! After passing Anhui, I will fly along the Dabie Mountain area. The plane's markings are still Japanese, so there is a high probability that there will be no problems."
Passionate, stubborn, fearless, these are the labels of several aid pilots. Their own safety? They never need to consider it. Flying the plane back home is a victory. If the plane is destroyed, what's the point of returning alive? The five of them have already discussed that if there is a problem, they will go on the road with the plane and must not fall into the hands of the devils, otherwise they may not be able to withstand the torture of the Japanese army and confess the matter of the cold gun captain, and then they will become sinners.
The plane started up and after a final check, Lin Heng pushed the joystick to accelerate. The takeoff was very smooth. Due to the limited fuel, the plane climbed and turned directly before disappearing into the southwest sky.
Chen Feng glanced at Li Yunyan, and Li Yunyan pulled Song Zihan to the airport communications room. In more than three hours, once Lin Heng appeared at the front line of Jingzhou, the Fifth War Zone would immediately send a message, and the remaining two fighters and two bombers would take off one after another.
"Captain Cen, Captain Zhou, and two brothers, I may ask you to join the war after we go back. Once the plane loses control, try to jump to our camp. After the Zaoyi Battle is over, we will enter a long period of confrontation. You are all elite forces of the Air Force. Please protect yourselves. The road to the war of resistance is still long. We will purchase more planes in the future, and they may provide assistance. In short, we must try our best to leave some seeds for the Air Force."
Several people were moved. They were going back with the determination to die. It would be very difficult to survive even for a few hours in the Zaoyi battlefield. However, being shot from behind would not be a problem. If they could jump to their camp and keep their lives, maybe the Air Force would have more hope.
"Captain Lengqiang, don't worry! We won't hesitate if we can save our lives. It costs a lot to train a pilot. How can we bear to die without killing enough Japs?"
At twelve noon, all four planes were pushed out. Chen Feng and a group of pilots made a final inspection of the auxiliary fuel tanks, aircraft cannons, and bombs. Unlike Lin Heng's plane, these four planes were going to participate in the battle. After dropping bombs and using up their ammunition, they flew back to Chongqing for landing. The time was controlled so that it would get dark immediately after arriving in Chongqing, leaving no chance for Japanese planes to track and kill them.
