Chapter 1690: Common Hatred and Common Enemy

So many friendly planes were shot down and destroyed!

So many comrades were forced to die!

Even among the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, some people played a wave of killing three birds with one stone!

Realizing this, all the Japanese pilots were furious.

In fact, it was not difficult for them to recognize that they killed three birds with one stone.

The large bomber with a problem with the tail must have been hit by a shot first.

After being hit, it did not immediately break down.

Unfortunately, because it was too badly damaged, after persisting for a while, the large bomber could no longer persist.

The inability to persist is not the point.

The point is that the large bomber could no longer maintain balance, resulting in violent turbulence and running around like a headless fly.

Of course, the process of running around was accompanied by ups and downs.

Coincidentally, another large bomber passed by and was forced to be hit while trying to get rid of the collision.

In this way, both large bombers suffered the tragedy of aircraft destruction and death.

Moreover, after the two large bombers were destroyed and killed, their own ground forces were also affected.

Looking at the ground, many comrades were crushed to death or burned to death.

Looking at many friendly aircraft, they were damaged to varying degrees.

For a time, the Japanese pilots further developed a passion for sharing the same hatred and the same enemy.

And this passion is not only reflected in the hearts of ordinary Japanese pilots.

In fact, even the Japanese flight captains who led the bombing missions had similar ideas.

Thinking of this, before this battle, our side received a death order from the North China Front Command.

At all costs, we must annihilate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army!

Family members know their own affairs best!

All the Japanese pilots are very clear about the meaning of at all costs.

First, when bombing and strafing the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they fully accept a certain degree of accidental injury to friendly forces.

Second, if necessary, more aircraft can be lost.

Even if these hundreds of planes were destroyed and shot down, it would definitely be a great victory if they could be exchanged for the annihilation of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

After all, although the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had few troops, its combat effectiveness was amazing.

If I have to describe it, without exaggeration or understatement, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was no less than a fully equipped German-equipped Chinese division.

Although, before the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, China had more than a dozen such troops.

Unfortunately, in the Battle of Songhu that broke out before, China had lost most of these German-equipped divisions because its main force was exhausted.

After the Battle of Songhu, although these German-equipped divisions tried their best to replenish their troops and weapons and equipment, the effect was not very good.

Taking the replenished troops as an example, most of the veterans died in battle or were injured.

And most of these replenished troops were recruits who had not received much military training.

Obviously, there is no comparison between these recruits and the veterans who died and were injured.

To be honest, if it is really on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of five new recruits combined is not as good as that of a veteran soldier.

It is good enough for new recruits to exert half of their combat effectiveness when they go to the battlefield for the first time or the first few times.

Even more, many new recruits will suffer from incontinence on the battlefield.

Even worse, some new recruits with extremely poor psychological quality will suffer from psychological collapse on the battlefield and run aimlessly on the battlefield.

Obviously, these new recruits are living targets in the eyes of the enemy.

And their deaths and injuries will seriously shake the morale of the army.

In fact, the weapons and equipment that the German-equipped divisions of China were able to replenish after the Battle of Shanghai were also unsatisfactory.

The reason is very simple. China's national strength is weak, and there is not much inventory of advanced weapons and equipment.

Also, most of the German-equipped divisions failed to equip various advanced weapons according to the standards.

In this case, talking about inventory is absolutely meaningless.

What the devils like to see most is that after the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing, the German-equipped divisions in China basically fell into a situation of being in name only.

A large number of veterans were killed and wounded, and various advanced weapons and equipment were seriously lacking.

In fact, after the July 7th Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Jiangyin, the Battle of Taiyuan, and the Battle of Nanjing, the losses of China were not all these elite German-equipped divisions.

In the face of national crisis, China has spent countless manpower, material resources and financial resources to train the German-equipped divisions, and they must join the battlefield.

Regardless of gender, age, or place, they all have the responsibility to defend the land and fight the war!

However, considering the huge difference in combat effectiveness between the enemy and us, in response to the call of the Chinese Supreme Command, many ordinary Chinese troops, such as local anti-Japanese armed forces, also consciously and enthusiastically stood up.

Among them, the Sichuan Army did the best.

Most importantly, in response to the call of the Chinese Supreme Command, countless farmers, workers, and even students and overseas Chinese bravely stood up at the time of national crisis and actively signed up to join the army at various recruitment points throughout China.

Unfortunately, facing the well-armed devils and the large number of traitors who colluded with them, the anti-Japanese armed forces suffered heavy casualties, just like the German-equipped divisions.

And with the help of various intelligence networks, especially the help of various Japanese spies and even traitor spies, the island country easily learned the news.

In fact, this is also the reason why the island country was eager to take the initiative to plan the Battle of Xuzhou, so as to open up North China and Central China, and then plot to occupy the whole of China.

These strategic deployments have been going smoothly.

The island country never expected that an anti-Japanese armed force called the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would suddenly appear.

The most important thing is that since its birth, this anti-Japanese armed force has been constantly creating brilliance.

Affected, many Japanese and traitors had to be killed and injured.

Even so many planes were lost.

Even more, the warships that were regarded as the heart of the emperor were lost!

Among these lost warships, there are actually big killers:

Aircraft carriers and even battleships!

Aircraft carriers and battleships have lost so many, let alone those cruisers, destroyers, and even smaller patrol boats and gunboats.

That's not all. Many large merchant ships traveling between China and the island country were constantly sunk by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

This is intolerable!

They were always hit hard by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Whether it was ordinary front-line Japanese, ordinary members of the Women's National Defense Association, Japanese at weapon processing points all over the island country, or Japanese officers at all levels, and even the emperor, they all regarded the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army as a thorn in their eyes.

In order to eliminate this real threat, after the order of the Supreme Command of the island country, a traitorous unit called the Iron Stone Independent Detachment jumped out in response to the national conditions of China.

If you want people, give them people; if you want weapons, give them weapons.

Even the submachine guns that were not equipped in most Japanese troops were popularized in the Iron Stone Independent Detachment.

The most important thing is that in the process of chasing and suppressing the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, once the location of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is accurately detected, the Iron Stone Independent Detachment has the right to directly mobilize the surrounding Japanese troops.

Of course, the surrounding traitorous troops must also accept the orders of the Iron Stone Independent Detachment.
