Chapter 552: Complete Annihilation of Liao's Corps (7)
Its daybreak,
The collapsed enemy finally retreated!
Guo Qiang looked ashen, and walked in the field with heavy steps.
The strong smell of blood and gunpowder filled my nose.
The entire wheat field had been coagulated into a dark red color by the blood plasma. The intertwined bodies looked like fallen stalks after harvest, and most of them were tangled together, making it almost impossible for him to move forward.
Some soldiers suffocated to death while fighting with the enemy, with their fingers dug into the enemy's eyes; some soldiers were entangled with the enemy with bayonets in their hands, and a layer of black grease condensed on the ground, emitting a burnt smell!
Guo Qiang's gaze was suddenly drawn by an invisible force and fixed on a corpse not far away.
Lin Tao lay quietly on his back on the harvested stubble, as if he had merged with the land. The originally brown earth beneath him was now dyed a shocking dark red by the blood that kept pouring out of his body.
A huge and hideous gash appeared on his chest, a wound ruthlessly torn open by shrapnel, bloody and bloody, unbearable to look at. His face was still tightly tensed, his eyes were wide open, and the anger and unwillingness burning in them seemed to never go out.
Guo Qiang walked forward quickly, and suddenly he trembled all over, as if all his strength had been drained away, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground helplessly. His body was trembling slightly, and tears flowed uncontrollably, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground under his feet.
Guo Qiang raised his head with difficulty, looking at the figure that could no longer respond to him, his voice choked with sobs and almost incoherent: "Chief of Staff... didn't we agree? We are going to see the new China together! How can you just leave us like this..." At the end, he was already sobbing and heartbroken!
A quick whistle blew behind me.
"The enemy is coming again!" a voice shouted!
Guo Qiang wiped his tears, got up and left quickly!
There was a buzzing sound in the air.
The 1 reconnaissance planes, 4 jet fighters and 2 heavy bombers of the 2st Air Attack Group have already flown into the air above the battlefield!
After discovering the enemy on the ground,
The reconnaissance planes immediately split into two formations and began to dive and strafe.
On the ground, the officers and soldiers of the 1rd Temporary Division of Chiang Kai-shek's New 53st Army, who were in charge of the attack, all showed expressions of extreme despair on their faces!
The air raid is coming! Their final death knell has also sounded!
Amid the roar of machine gun fire, Chiang's soldiers were thrown into disarray and fled.
A B24 bomber in the air,
The observer yelled!
"Altitude 800 meters!"
Captain Zhu Dayong yelled,
"Keep lowering the altitude!"
The enemy is too close to our army. If the bombs are not dropped accurately, it will cause casualties to our army.
The plane circled again.
"Altitude 660 meters!"
"Altitude 600 meters!"
"Altitude 500 meters!"
"bomb!"
A B-24 bomber tore through the air flow in a dive posture, and a string of bombs were thrown out from under the belly of the plane, and huge columns of smoke rose from the ground!
The transparent glass spherical turret on the belly of the aircraft was like a hanging death crystal. The 21-year-old gunner Sun Ke curled up in this narrow space with a diameter of only 90 centimeters, with his knees against his chest, and saw through the resin glass that the earth was rushing towards him at a terrifying speed.
The enemy soldiers on the ground twisted into panicked snakes on the road, and the occasional anti-aircraft fire weaved an orange-red tracer barrage that brushed past the fuselage.
As the pilot lowered the altitude to 500 meters, the handle of Sun Ke's rotating turret emitted a sharp whistling sound of metal friction, and the barrels of the twin-mounted M2 Browning machine guns slowly dropped 45 degrees. This altitude brought the breath of death!
But today they were carrying out a death mission, and they had to support the 6th Column in Lijia shack at all costs! Even if they had to kill the entire 1st Air Group, they could not let a single enemy return to Shenyang!
The .50 caliber bullets turned into red whips of fire and whipped towards the ground. The ammunition belt melted rapidly in the white light bursting from the muzzle of the machine gun. On the ground, enemy soldiers hundreds of meters away were thrown away as if they were hit by an invisible giant hammer, and even a blood wave several meters high was blown up.
Sun Ke continued to pull the trigger, and when the bomber finally pulled up with difficulty, all he could see was the burning earth and the dark red afterglow rising from the barrel.
After these planes had dropped their bombs and used up the ammunition they were carrying,
The second batch of aircraft of the 1st Air Attack Group, including 1 fighter, 2 reconnaissance aircraft, and 3 heavy bombers, appeared seamlessly in the sky!
On the ground, watching the Communist planes descend again,
The desperate enemy collapsed.
The Kuomintang soldiers simply dropped their weapons and raised their hands! On our army's position, there was a cheer!
The final battle is coming!
Each column rushed forward frantically, rushing over to outflank the enemy's main force!
The 1st and 3rd columns, with their tank battalions as the vanguard, marched along both sides of the Bac Ninh Railway and headed straight for the heart of Liao's Corps!
The 1st assault group also rushed towards the Li family shack in the northwest direction!
Along the way, there were equipment, vehicles, and wounded soldiers abandoned by the Kuomintang army everywhere!
There were always at least two reconnaissance planes hovering above Tang Yantian’s 1st assault group, constantly reporting on the enemy situation on the ground and the situation of both sides!
If the enemy situation ahead is serious, the reconnaissance aircraft will dive and attack! This is also the first large-scale exercise of air-ground coordinated combat by the 1st Assault Group!
Around ten o'clock in the morning, the fierce gunfire on the battlefield gradually subsided.
Cheng Yue, the commander of the 1st Tank Regiment, stared at the ridiculous scene in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief.
The originally wide and unobstructed road was now completely blocked, and the cause of the blockage was nothing but a dense group of Kuomintang soldiers.
They stood there in no order, each with his hands raised high, as if announcing to the world that he had given up resistance.
On the ground, guns and ammunition were thrown everywhere!
What was even more ridiculous was that the Kuomintang soldiers kept shouting various things. Some shouted, "Stop fighting, stop fighting! This is a battle to die, who the hell is willing to fight for their lives?" Others begged, "Hey, sir, please be kind, we haven't had a single bite of food since yesterday morning, can you give us some food first?" The shouting filled the entire space, making the scene even more chaotic.
At this time, Cheng Yue noticed that more Kuomintang troops were coming towards this side in the distance. But without exception, they all raised their hands and walked over with frustrated faces. Obviously, the various units of Chiang's army had completely lost their will to fight and chose to surrender.
The soldiers of the 1st Assault Group jumped off the tanks and armored vehicles, escorted the prisoners to an open area, and began to supply dry food to these happy prisoners of war!
