It is true that China already has air supremacy, but the Japanese army is not the mainstay of mud.

As the 5th Air Force admitted its defeat, the Chinese Sendering Force Command urgently seconded three air defense brigades from the Kwantung Military to central China, and arrived in the outskirts of Hengyang on the eve of China's airdrop.

It is a ground anti-aircraft gun group composed of more than 70 20mm anti-aircraft machine guns and 16 75mm anti-aircraft guns. Although it cannot completely prevent bombers from dropping bombs at high altitudes, it still maintains a certain deterrence to the air.

For example, on the night of June 24, under the coordination of the Air Force Liaison Office led by Lin Heng in Hengyang City, 10 transport planes roared from Guilin and entered a low altitude in the area close to Hengyang City, intending to airdrop materials over Hengyang City, which had already entered the light control surface, which looked pitch black but had already given light instructions.

As a result, after hearing the roar in the air, the Japanese army immediately turned on the air searchlight and launched intensively at medium and low altitudes, forcing the transport aircraft group to fly back to a height of 2,500 meters and dropped airdrop materials with the extremely weak light indications on the ground.

The direction of the parachute-wearing bags that were cast at this height depends entirely on the will of heaven. When the wind changes, God knows where these bags will float?

After all, the total area of ​​Hengyang City is less than 3 square kilometers, and with the positions controlled by the Chinese side outside the city, the total area will never exceed 6 square kilometers.

Moreover, the Japanese army siege was too tight, and the positions of the two armies located in the suburbs were intertwined. Some positions were even separated by no more than 300 meters. The officers and soldiers on both sides did not dare to walk upright in the trenches, for fear that they would be targeted by the opponent's infantry if they showed up.

Sure enough, the wind direction at night was from west to east, and a large number of supplies floated over Hengyang City, falling into the Xiangjiang River under the eyes of the Chinese military and civilians, and flowed down the rolling river.

This is still good. Some even landed directly on the positions of the remaining troops of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Division, which made Colonel Songshang Liangzheng, who was worried about food, feels fond of it.

I originally thought that Amaterasu had given up on his unlucky child, but it turned out that the so-called "Farewell Good" means this! The more than 2,000 remaining troops under his command were left with only two days of food, but thousands of kilograms of rice and white flour fell from the sky. This is really the legendary gift of God!

More than a thousand people from the 190th Division on the other side were watching the huge bag of supplies falling on the Japanese's heads, and their lungs almost burst out from anger.

"The Air Force is afraid of not being able to feed the Japanese devils!" Yang Jihe, the commander of the 1st battalion who was already hot-tempered, simply cursed in the trenches.

"Shut up, who can't make any mistakes? What you are special about is that you forget how you slapped the Japanese ships when the Air Force fighter jets exploded so badly that day, right?" The colonel leader, who was also preparing to issue orders in the trenches, asked the officers and soldiers to go out to pick up supplies, cursed the number one general under his command.

The regiment and battalion commanders couldn't help but scold Liang, which shows how angry they were about the behavior of airdropping materials taking the initiative to "invest enemies".

After communicating with Guilin Airport, the materials that could be picked up inside and outside Hengyang City were only 12 tons, which just exceeded half of the total airdrop materials, which also meant that nearly half of the ones fell on the Japanese positions.

As soon as the result came out, let alone the soldiers and civilians in Hengyang City were so frustrated that they were so frustrated. Even the one who was still very proud of him.

But even so, the materials still have to be airdropped. 12 tons of grain is just two days of food for Hengyang City, which has 70,000 people.

In order to make Fang Xianjue determined to defend the 10th day, the man not only called the Air Force Command every day to personally inquire about the airdrop plan for the day, but also simply asked his major general servant to fly to Guilin and personally served as the head of the logistics department specially established for Hengyang Airdrop.

This kind of treatment has never happened before. The military and civilians in Hengyang City were greatly moved. Fang Xianjue, the supreme commander, had tears in his eyes and expressed his opinion in public that the teacher supported the Hengyang defenders so strongly, let alone hold on for another 10 days, so what if it was a hundred days?

Tang Dao almost rushed over and covered the mouth of the lieutenant general who was obviously too emotional. In fact, he once said that he would fight for two months in time and space. As a result, the guy really fought for almost two months. If the city had not been exhausted and could not even find a few bullets, he would have to get all the remaining 13 days.

Now that the FLAG suddenly got stuck in the past 100 days, even if Tang Datuanzu is so fierce, he can't bear it anymore.

However, with the first day of experience, the commanders of Hengyang Command realized that ground communication alone could not be achieved. If the aircraft is thousands of meters high, they must have clear enough ground instructions. Moreover, such clear ground instructions can only be discovered at high altitudes and cannot be discovered by the Japanese army, otherwise the Japanese artillery would not be vegetarian.

So, after Tang Dao and Lin Heng discussed, they used dozens of "Air Wind" lanterns to form a "' shape with a diameter of more than ten meters in a wide area in Hengyang City, so that the transport plane was clearly visible in the air and aimed at this light to airdrop. This way, even if the wind direction changes, it can ensure that most of the materials will fall in areas controlled by China.

In addition, in order to avoid the light being seen by the Japanese army and causing artillery attacks, Tang Dao suggested changing from night airdrop to dusk. Such light conditions can completely ensure that the reconnaissance balloons that stayed 10 kilometers away could not see the airdrop marking point clearly.

Then, every dusk, the commanders of Hengyang were like young people in love, nervously pinching pocket watches and waiting for the transport aircraft group to come, while the officers and soldiers looked at the sky with eager eyes.

When white parachute bags slowly fell from the slight night to Hengyang City, the men who usually did not cry without crying after being penetrated by bullets.

Don’t think that the airdropped materials only have food. In order to motivate the 70,000 soldiers and civilians in Hengyang City to continue to stick to it, the man spent a lot of effort. At the suggestion of his think tank, Guilin City used a large amount of manpower to find the 10th Army retreating to Guizhou Province and the families of the civilians who were left behind, and then asked them to write letters to their relatives who were still in Hengyang City.

If you can write, you will write it yourself, and if you can’t write it orally, the family will write it on your behalf. If you don’t say that a letter will be distributed 5 kilograms of rice and flour, you won’t even send it. Those families who miss their relatives must also tell you about their recent situation!

Although this is only a one-way connection, it is definitely the greatest psychological comfort for Chinese soldiers and young and middle-aged men who are still in Hengyang City.

On the night of the 24th, a large package filled with 3,000 letters of the family fell on the 190th Division's position. After Rong Youluo personally sent it to the command center, the next day, it was immediately distributed to the departments according to the number and name of the letter, and hundreds of them belonged to the people.

"Son! Don't worry about Mom. Although Mom lives here, fortunately, it's hot and as long as it doesn't rain, I can still pass. I hang the bronze medal you brought back last time. Wherever I go, someone will stutter and I can't be hungry.

I just worry about you! My mother knows the most about your temperament, but it’s just that it’s too steely and easy to break. Son, remember what Mom said, Mom is waiting for you to come back. Even if you lack arms and legs, you will still come back. Mom can raise you in the past and will still support you in the future.

Okay, that's all I said. I don't know if the little scholar understands it."

"Mm!" A battalion commander of the 10th Division of the preparatory division knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard to the southwest, but tears flowed on his face.

As a son, how could he not be sad when he received this letter from his family? Although he was already a major officer and his military salary was not low, he, who was in Hengyang City, could only bear the pain of sending his old mother and wife and children on the train to escape. He left in a hurry and brought a total of more than twenty silver dollars.

There were tens of thousands of people who fled to Guilin this time, and there were at least tens of thousands of people who escaped from Tanzhou. The sudden increase in population naturally caused prices there to soar. There may be no guarantee of accommodation and food. The usually decent old lady can only take the medal of loyalty and courage he left at home to find someone to stutter. How can he not be sad as a son?

Especially the saying that I could support you in the past and grow up, and I could support you in the future, even if you lose your arms and legs, as long as you can come back.

This is the mother!

She didn't say anything about the country. She knew what her son was going to do and she wouldn't stop him, but she hoped that her son would come back alive.

The officers next to them were all sad, but they didn't know how to persuade them.

"Baby's father, the boss found me and asked me to write a letter to you. I can't write or say it. I just want to tell you that my kid and I miss you. Without you, our family would not be able to do so. But I also know that you stayed in Hengyang to fight the Japanese so that our mothers could live. I promise you that no matter what, I will support a few kids. When the kid grows up, I will go find you..."

Luo Dahu belongs to one of the hundreds of lucky people. When he held the letter from his wife who wrote to him, a big and rough man was also full of tears.

He cried, not because he was moved or not, but because Commander Fang really kept his promise and used the train to transport the elderly, weak, women and children to Guilin. No matter what, in such a chaotic era, as long as he could live, he would be very happy.

As a husband and father, his request is very simple, just to seek a way out for his wife and children.

Just for this, he stayed in Hengyang, even if he lost more than a hundred pounds, he would not lose!

The minds of the think tanks under his command were indeed very happy. This material and spiritual support really inspired the morale of the military and civilians in Hengyang City. Every day, the military and civilians inside and outside Hengyang City were eagerly waiting for the transport plane to arrive.

But after two or three days of such a good day, the Japanese army gradually understood the rules of Chinese airdrops. When the Chinese transport plane arrived and started airdropping, several Japanese fighter planes also flew over quietly.

Japanese planes did not attack the transport aircraft group that began to pull up, but marked the flames that were too late to remove from the ground, and threw a wave of bombs in a scattered manner, then turned around and ran away.

The damage caused by this wave of bombs was considerable, resulting in dozens of casualties.

Later, the cunning Japanese army played new tricks. During the airdrop period, they also copied the rules on their positions and set up circles with horse lanterns. It looked almost the same at a high altitude. As a result, several transport planes were directly thrown into this way, and the supplies naturally became the items in the Japanese army's pocket.

Fang Xianjue and others in the city were so angry that they only jumped their feet, but they were helpless!

Fortunately, those letters were basically from various units of the 10th Army, and the news that Hengyang defenders were mainly the 10th Army had already spread to the country and abroad, and the numbers were no longer considered confidential. Otherwise, those letters would have been picked up by the Japanese army and leaked the secrets.

However, the Japanese army was also feeling very good. At least through these letters, we clearly know how many infantry regiments the 10th Army in Hengyang City are now. In the past, they could only rely on estimates.

It’s not that the Japanese intelligence personnel are not strong, but that the Chinese infantry division’s strength has always been a mystery. Some infantry divisions directly arrest people from rural youth and strong areas to quickly replenish their troops. In this way, there are often more personnel than those in the organization; some abide by the rules and principles, waiting for the above to replenish them normally, but they are often not popular with the above. The supplementary personnel are slow and the number of troops is much smaller than that in the normal organization.

This phenomenon, which is very common in the Chinese army, has caused great trouble to the Japanese intelligence department, and has unexpectedly become a means to conserve military secrets.

However, this time, the 11th Army basically knew that the 10th Army had 8 regiments in the city through the large number of letters from the military family who threw them on the position. In addition, the Sihang Regiment and the Hengyang Guard Regiment, the average number of 2,000 people per regiment was calculated, which would tighten the chrysanthemum that Hengshan Yong had tidyed up. That would be 20,000 people, which would be more or less.

No wonder the two divisions of 116 and 68, as well as the 6th Infantry Regiment and other elite imperial soldiers were fighting so difficult. While waiting for the arrival of logistics and materials, Yokoyama began to think about how to increase troops in Hengyang again.

This undoubtedly once again filled the difficulty bar in Hengyang, which was originally a hell level difficulty, but this also caused a misunderstanding for Yokoyama Yuki and Shimakuraki. There were only more than 20,000 people in Hengyang City.

As for those hundreds or even thousands of civilians, what is it in the eyes of the elite army of the Imperial Japanese army? It’s just a group of native chickens and tiles.

The Japanese Lieutenant General and the Japanese Colonel never dreamed that it was not a few thousand people, but nearly 50,000 people.

The 50,000 sheep ran wildly and the wolves had to retreat, let alone the 50,000 young and middle-aged men with hands, feet and enough strength? They were forced to force them to change five or even ten, and they could exchange bloody red lambs for the Japanese.

Not to mention that the "intelligence" that the Japanese army accidentally obtained was destined to become their double-edged sword, just about robbing airdrop materials.

Although the Japanese army frequently used fraud and destruction or changed wind directions and other unexpected factors, such as parachutes and floating, which made the Japanese army earn a lot of food every day, but aside from the weather, the plane could not take off and land normally and suspend airdrops, and the rest of the time they were desperately dropping into Hengyang City every day.

For this reason, the entire Guizhou Province is raising grain to deliver it to the front line, and many of them are even transported from Sichuan Province and Yunnan Province by special planes.

According to the attendant, it is the Air Force and God's business that how much food is stolen by the Japanese devils. He is only responsible for the military and civilians in Hengyang City to be able to eat enough to go to the battlefield when resisting the attack of the devils.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!

This is nothing wrong, but it is not a big deal to keep being so "invested"?

It's Tang Dao, and he thought of a clever trick.

The Private Salt Barn of the 116th Division became one of the victims of this damage move by Tang's rank.

The 133 Infantry Regiment belonging to the Salt Barn Kong was basically disabled in the battle of Huangchaling. The entire infantry regiment had 3,870 people under the full state. After a battle, less than 900 people were left in artillery, baggage and other troops, with a casualty rate of 80%. It was praised for their disability.

The 133 Infantry Regiment was ordered to retreat 10 miles away from the front line for rest and wait for the new supplementary brigade to arrive and give them the replenishment troops to fight again.

Private Japan is very glad that he can survive. The half month he has been resting is also his most comfortable time. The only regret is that he cannot eat enough.

The food rations of the front-line imperial officers and soldiers must be guaranteed that the food rations of these soldiers who are resting and logistics supplies are only half of the usual ones.

Fortunately, Amaterasu appeared, and the parachute was slowly lowered in the sky. There was a big bag under the umbrella, full of white rice.

The captain of the regiment asked the cooks to cook the rice and make it into rice balls for everyone to eat.

Then, at noon that day, the poor Japanese private was exhausted.

I took off my pants seven times in just one hour. The frequency of diarrhea, not to mention the short-handled bean sprouts in the salt barn, even if I am as strong as a cow, I can't hold on!

What does it mean to die of ecstasy? The Japanese Private who had given up wearing pants and sat on the ridge of the field with his bare butt deeply realized that he had even given up the hygiene habit of wiping that.

Because, if you don’t ask for anything, you will repeat it soon.

So sticking to that is like taking off your pants and farting, that’s it!

The corpses were everywhere but the Japanese Private had nothing to do with it, but the smell of a "dung farm" was everywhere, leaving an indelible shadow in the lives of the Japanese Private.

But the hundred people in the infantry brigade where the Salt Barn was located were still good. After all, they were just diarrhea and dehydrated. The pain was very painful, but it was not enough to kill people.

Another infantry brigade was in trouble. Fifty or sixty people foamed at the mouth. The military doctor was helpless when he arrived. He could only watch these guys go to see the great god Amaterasu in pain.

The Japanese Army Colonel quickly ordered the sealing of the food dropped by the Chinese and reported to the upper hand, saying that the rice dropped by the Chinese was poisonous.

But it was still too late. More than a thousand Japanese soldiers had diarrhea caused by eating rice sent by Chinese people that day, and more than 200 people died of poisoning.

Although some Japanese soldiers were not involved in the trouble, this really scared the Japanese army. There is a probability that this thing will be, but who knows if it will be 'winning'?

As for testing, you can pull it down! If you really think it is toxic, use the silver needle to detect it? Then professional personnel and professional testing equipment still have enough time. If you have that skill, it is better to be hungry.

Not only did this batch of lost food dare not eat, but many Japanese soldiers dared not even touch the food they had stolen happily before. God knows whether the Chinese used to be evil?

Anyway, in terms of the two options of eating half saturated and living well, the Japanese army happily chose the former.

So why are Chinese people not afraid of poisoning? The Japanese know that there is something strange about the cliff here, but they don’t know where the trick is to break their heads.

In fact, it is very simple. Each grain bag has 4 numbers. Tang Dao agreed with the major general servant through the radio station that the number numbers are added to 14, such as 0077, or 2147. Rice is specially processed. As for whether to use laxatives or poisons, it depends on what medicine is there.

Anyway, the main one is to either kill you or disgust you.

However, all departments in Hengyang City sent orders. The number addition is equivalent to "death" bags are destroyed on the spot and cannot be touched.

Of course, the number of grain packages that deliberately cheated the Japanese is not large, accounting for only one-tenth of the total.

After all, the main purpose of airdrops is to increase grain reserves in Hengyang City, right?
Chapter completed!
