Chapter 406: Losing the Shelter of the Mustang Fighters, the Tragic Tiger Regiment
At that time, Wang Dali was commanding the troops to launch an all-out attack, trying to defeat the Japanese 6th Division in Heifengling in one go, and go to rescue the New Fourth Army Independent Regiment besieged in Luoxialing.
However, at this moment, the 2nd Air Flight Group of the Japanese Army, led by Ichiro Kawabe, suddenly arrived.
More than 10 fighters, as well as eight or nine bombers, suddenly emerged from the thin clouds and swooped towards the Black Wind Ridge with the momentum of a goshawk fighting a rabbit.
At this time, fierce fighting was raging between the enemy and us.
After these 10 or so devil fighters locked onto the target, they immediately dived down in the area where the Tiger Ben Regiment was located.
"Da Da Da!"
"Da Da Da! ——”
The devil's on-board machine guns opened fire one after another, pouring a dense rain of bullets towards the Tiger Ben army
"Bang bang bang!" A dense rain of bullets roared, like ploughing, knocking the ground dirt and smoke and dust everywhere.
Many of the Tiger Regiment soldiers could not dodge and were shot to the ground one after another.
For a time, rivers of blood flowed and corpses were everywhere.
"Be careful! Pay attention to air defense! ”
On the orders of some officers, the soldiers began to seek cover nearby and scattered, thus blocking the attack.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The biggest threat was the Japanese bombers, whose goal was to destroy the tanks and fighting vehicles of the Tiger Regiment.
Without the threat of Yang Jing, and the Tiger Regiment did not have very good means of prevention and control, so the devil's aviation appeared to be unscrupulous, and in order to ensure the hit rate, they reduced the sailing altitude to a very low level.
Every time a bomb falls, it sets off a sky-high flame.
The soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, who were too close to the center of the explosion, were either swept away by the huge shock wave or were killed on the spot.
Among them, a T34-85 main battle tank was located just near the bomb landing site.
It is worth mentioning that although the defensive armor of the T34-85 main battle tank can withstand the killing of small-caliber shells, it cannot stop the bombardment of aerial bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms.
With a flash of red light, the top cover of this tank was suddenly lifted out, and several tank crews inside were also wiped out, and they were killed on the spot by the shock wave poured into it, and they were martyred.
Seeing that hundreds of soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment died tragically under the dive-strafing and bombardment of the Japanese army, Wang Dali suddenly became anxious and angry, and ordered his subordinates next to him at the top of his throat: "Brothers, set up anti-aircraft machine guns, light and heavy machine guns for Lao Tzu, shoot at the air, and stop the air attack of the devils at all costs!" ”
"Yes!"
The surrounding soldiers sang in unison.
As the order was transmitted, thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, after finding a suitable hiding point, immediately formed a company and platoon unit, quickly maneuvering anti-aircraft machine guns, as well as light and heavy machine guns, to open fire one after another.
The fighters of the devils, in order to cover their bombers, continued to bomb.
They turned around and swooped down on the machine-gun positions of the Tiger Regiment, trying to destroy their air defenses.
More than 10 Japanese fighters, in groups of three, flew from all directions in a superimposed manner at high and low altitudes, and constantly carried out dive and strafing at the machine gun positions of the Tiger Regiment.
"Ge Laozi! Beat! Give Lao Tzu a hard beating! Wang Dali personally operated a Soviet-made 12.7mm Deshka anti-aircraft machine gun and opened heavy fire.
"Tom tom! ——”
The deafening gunshot rang out, and the huge recoil force shook Wang Dali's arms and even his entire body involuntarily.
"Ding, ding, ding! ——”
One after another, orange-yellow bullet casings shot out of the pop-up window, casting a scorching rain of bullets and pouring down on one of the Japanese planes.
"Eight Ga Ya Road!"
The devil aviation did not expect that there were such accurate air defense soldiers in the anti-aircraft fire of the Tiger Regiment on the ground, and after being taken aback, he hurriedly controlled the fighter to turn to the left to avoid it.
The wingmen on the left and right sides also hurriedly followed the turn to avoid it, and the wingman on the left side was hit by the anti-aircraft machine gun bullets fired by Wang Dali because it was in the inner bay.
"Bo Bo Bo! ——”
The anti-aircraft machine gun with a caliber of up to 12.7 mm is extremely powerful, and it is not too easy to break the defense for the crispy aircraft that the devil is equipped with at this time.
Because the Japanese fighters at this time, in order to reduce their own weight and improve their endurance, they were wrapped with a thin layer of iron sheet on the outside, and some parts were even made of wood.
Just listening to the muffled sound of "pop-bo-bon", the wingman's defensive armor was instantly pierced through more than 10 transparent holes.
Two of the machine-gun bullets that pierced through the armor hit the devil air soldier in the flank, and although they did not kill him, they also seriously injured him.
So much so that the fighter lost its balance and swayed and crashed into a nearby hill,
……
Wang Dali, deputy commander of the regiment, took the lead in shooting down the enemy plane, which greatly encouraged the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment on the ground.
All of them, regardless of their personal life and death, opened fire on enemy planes in the sky with all their might.
In the fierce battle, many people were swept and shot by Japanese planes and died heroically.
However, the efforts of the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment were not without effect, especially Wang Dali, Bi Yuntao, and Fan Tietou and others, whose air defense level far exceeded that of others, and every time they fired, they would predict in advance where the Japanese fighters might be in the next second, and open fire decisively.
So, it didn't take long for two more Japanese fighters to be hit by them.
One of them was a Japanese military captain.
After the fighter's engine was hit, it quickly burst into flames and smoke, then lost control and crashed headlong into a wilderness mountain a few hundred meters away from the official road of Heifengling.
With a "boom", it exploded in an instant, igniting a raging fire.
When the two wingman planes saw that the long plane had been shot down, they immediately swooped down desperately towards Wang Dali's side, wanting to kill it and avenge their long plane.
Wang Dali was fearless, and led the soldiers around him to brave the rain of strafing bullets from the devil fighters and fire tenaciously.
"Ge Laozi! Come on! Little devil! Wang Dali roared angrily, and the anti-aircraft machine gun in his hand let out a thunderous continuous roar, and together with the other machine guns around him, he poured a dense rain of bullets towards the two incoming devil fighters.
"Puff puff! ——”
In the fierce battle, the two assistant shooters beside Wang Dali were shot and died one after another.
Other machine gun crews also continued to be shot and fell down, killing their country.
Wang Dali turned a blind eye to this, and manipulated the Deshka anti-aircraft machine gun to fire stubbornly.
Finally, when the two devil wingmen were about to rush over, they were hit by Wang Dali and the surrounding machine gun crew, using a dense and violent rain of bullets, and lost control.
Then, one of them fell to the right and hit headlong on the mountainside of the nearby dirt mountain.
The other pulled black smoke and swept over the air above the air defense position where Wang Dali was located.
crashed headlong into the official road not far away, and with a loud "boom", the entire plane was instantly blown into countless pieces.
Several soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the Tiger Regiment, who were shooting nearby, were unfortunately affected by the aftermath of the explosion.
They fell one after another, and the casualties were unknown......
