Memoirs of a Veteran (2)
On our way to the airport, we met the Japanese army. There was about a squadron of Japanese soldiers, nearly 200 people. At that time, we had less than 30 people. Company Commander Meng took us to hide outside the airport to observe the movements of the Japanese army.
The airport was where the Independent Regiment was located. There were still two transport planes left. We thought that we could all get on the plane and go back to Anqing, but who would have thought that a group of people would still be in the city that night when the Japanese army attacked them before they knew how to escape in panic.
Major Lin brought them back to the airport. There was a northeasterner named Mi Long. He was right. These people were just trash! The day before, the entire city had shouted for an emergency evacuation. They acted as if they did not hear it. They thought that the Japanese were easy to talk to, but they realized that it was not as good as they thought. That was why they started to run around like headless flies overnight.
When they boarded the plane, they had to bring all kinds of suitcases and even have people push bicycles. If they didn't get on, they would die! These people were too selfish! As a result, the plane that could originally carry nearly 50 people ended up carrying more than 30 people. There would always be people who could not get on the plane.
When people were running for their lives, all their humanity came out. It was impossible to reason with them. Being unreasonable in their own nest was also a common problem. In front of the invaders, they were nothing. In front of their own troops, they were arrogant and ruffian. They would easily incite a group of people to come and watch.
Now, when I usually watch TV and see those ticket sellers who humiliate the soldiers and those who ask the soldiers to give up their seats, I think of those people at the airport. Just like what the mysterious dragon said, they deserve to be cut!
Without that group of soldiers who risked their lives, how could China be so big?
Just as we were about to attack the Japanese, we heard a loud rumble from the corner of the wall. The broken wall was smashed open by a tank, and a German tank appeared in front of us. The seal on it was the seal of our Chinese army.
After the tank fired a round, the hatch was opened. He saved us once again! If he hadn't appeared in time, we would have left half of our bodies behind when we broke through the airport!
The first thing the master said was,"Are we all lying down and waiting for death?" Hurry up and retreat!
"Haha!"
At that time, Company Commander Meng climbed onto the tank and squatted behind the tank turret to talk to the commander. It was too noisy to hear what he said, so we relied on the tank to go to the airport.
The bullets whizzed past and hit the tank. Fortunately, there were no large-caliber weapons. Otherwise, the tank would not have been able to withstand them.
At first, I didn't recognize the German tank. Later, after the Anti-Japanese War ended, every family lived a real modern life after the reform and opening up.
I only found out from the documentary that this is a German Type 1C tank. It has two machine gun barrels on it. At first glance, you would think that it looks like a German Type 2 tank.
In fact, it was a German Type 1 C tank. The longer barrel on it was an EW141 machine gun, but it used 7.92* 94mm ammunition for anti-tank rifles. It could penetrate 24- 25mm thick uniform armor within 500 meters.
At that time, none of the tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese army could withstand its attack. They could severely injure the other party from more than 500 meters away! On the other hand, the 35mm tank guns of the Japanese army were all short-barreled, similar to grenades. It was difficult to aim at 500 meters, unlike direct shots.
The advantage of this tank was that it could run fast. It could carry seven or eight people and run at a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour. Even the jeep behind it felt like it could not keep up.
"Chuckling."
Just like that, we were covered by the teacher and headed towards the airport. However, the airport was quarreling over a group of commoners. Some of them were reluctant to part with their suitcases and bicycles. Some of them even brought two large suitcases of books. In any case, they had to take all of them with them. Otherwise, no one would be able to leave.
The master found Long Wenzhang and asked him if he was ready to die. In the end, Regiment Commander Long Wenzhang ordered everyone to board the plane and stuff everything into it. Thirty people were enough, and the second plane was already filled with half of the injured.
At that time, the Japanese army saw that there were planes at the airport and immediately launched a fierce attack. They did not want to let the two planes evacuate. Fortunately, we had a tank, and the Japanese army did not have anti-tank weapons for the time being.
After repelling the Japanese several times, we only had less than half of our ammunition left. The commander found a jeep from somewhere in the airport with several large boxes of ammunition. We quickly replenished our ammunition and some food and drink.
You can't imagine how much you ate and drank in the rain of bullets. You just had to stuff a biscuit into your mouth, gulp down a mouthful of water, and swallow it. The compressed biscuits at that time were much worse than the ones we bought in the shop. After eating a few mouthfuls, we packed up the ammunition and watched the two transport planes take off. We followed the master and prepared to break out of the encirclement from another place.
The tanks opened the way for the infantrymen to follow. Behind them was a jeep with a German MG34 general-purpose machine gun. It was loaded with two drums, one on the left and one on the right, which added up to 150 rounds. However, this was much more troublesome than single-chain loading. The advantage was that it could be taken off and put on a strap to be carried in one's arms!
Two ammo drums were too heavy, and very few people carried two ammo drums on their backs when they charged. Basically, they only carried one. The reason why it was called a general machine gun was because it could be loaded with a chain and a tripod. It was a heavy machine gun. If it was equipped with a double foot stand, it would be a light machine gun. If it was carried on its back, it would be an assault machine gun! Therefore, he was very versatile.
The only problem was that it would occasionally jam, but it was not a big problem. Also, the firing speed was too fast, and the sound was very unique. It was very similar to the sound made by Siyou Fu, and the sound was not 'da!' It was hissing! This was the sound that came from firing too fast.
We left the airport and headed towards Xiaguan, because there would be a warship there to pick us up. I don't know where our master got the warships, but two thousand-ton destroyer, that was quite impressive at that time! The Japanese warships seemed to have been blocked by mines, so they couldn't get through.
When we arrived at Xiaguan, the two warships on the river were constantly bombarding the Japanese army. The Japanese army could not raise their heads. We quickly broke through the Japanese defense line and arrived at the river. The jeeps and tanks were all destroyed. We could not throw these good things to the Japanese army.
After the small boat on the warship reached the shore, we waded into the water and climbed up. We headed towards the warship. The Japanese soldiers kept firing, causing one of our comrades to fall into the rolling river. At that time, the situation was critical and there was no time to retrieve the body. Just like that, we returned to the warship. As soon as we returned to the warship, the Japanese planes arrived in the sky. Fortunately, there were no Torpedo planes, only some fighter planes and bomber planes. We were lucky to escape the Japanese plane's air strike by relying on high-speed maneuvers!
