"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"

The sound of the dense antiaircraft guns firing resounded like heavy drums on the open highway, and more than 50 Whirlwind self-propelled antiaircraft guns and Dongfeng self-propelled antiaircraft guns were frantically pouring tongues of fire into the sky along the thousand-meter-long highway, and above their heads, more than 20 Type 96 land attack planes and Nakajima-type fighters were constantly strafing and bombing along this highway, and the smoke of the explosion and the rain of bullets continued to fall and explode around the highway like raindrops.

"Boom ......"

In mid-air, a Type 96 land attack plane swooped down and rushed to the ground, its wings shook, and a 50-kilogram bomb fell from its wings. Then it hit a tank No. 4 that could not be dodged, and with a violent explosion, the turret of the entire tank was blown into the air by a violent shock wave.

"Bastard!"

Adele, who was poking her head out of the turret of a No. 4 tank, was stunned, this was already the third tank to be blown up, facing the planes that were hovering in the sky, and the majestic tank on land was suddenly waiting to be slaughtered.

After blowing up a tank No. 4, the attack plane was about to rush into the sky, but it was caught up by several tongues of fire when it reduced its altitude and speed, and the whole plane was immediately hit with smoke, and then the whole plane fell on a nearby hillside and turned into a ball of fire.

Adele picked up the microphone and ordered loudly: "Air defense battalion, increase firepower...... They must not be allowed to destroy our tanks again! ”

"Intensify firepower...... Boost your firepower! ”

The road was filled with the shouts of commanders of all ranks, facing the natural enemies of the armored forces. No one dared to slack off in the slightest, and dozens of anti-aircraft artillery pieces were already in full swing at this time, and the dense firepower intertwined the foolish air of the entire highway into a dense fire net. Any plane that touches it will be torn to shreds.

At this time, the less than kilometer-long road was full of armored vehicles, not only self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, but even the GM34 machine guns on all tanks were all spewing tongues of fire, the 20-mm quadruple Flak38 anti-aircraft guns on the Whirlwind self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, the 37-mm FlaK43L/89 anti-aircraft guns equipped with Dongfeng self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and hundreds of MG34 machine guns poured out flames that turned the entire sky into a dead area.

"Boom ......"

Another Type 96 attack plane that tried to break through the fire network was smashed into a ball of fire, and the face of ****** Zhongzuo, the commander of the Japanese formation who was commanding at high altitude, became darker and darker, this was already the fifth bomber lost by their formation, and the other side only lost three combat vehicles. The battle loss ratio actually reached 5:3, which he had almost never seen in the army for more than ten years.

Soon, there was a message from his headset, "Your Excellency Nakasa." The people of China have gone crazy, they are firing at us with everything they can shoot, and their anti-aircraft fire is too fierce, if we continue to attack like this. I'm afraid that in less than half an hour our formation will be wiped out! ”

scolded: "Baga." Yazaki-kun, have you forgotten the order of His Excellency the division commander, our mission is to completely annihilate this armored force at all costs! ”

Yes, ever since the discovery of the advancing armored unit that was telling Daiji about it, Okamura Ninji had issued an order to his fellow countryman and friend, Lieutenant General Toshishita Kinoshita, commander of the 3rd Flying Division, asking him to wipe out this armored unit no matter what. To this end, Kinoshita Toshita personally mobilized the forces of two flying groups to bomb the armored regiment in turn. The battle soon turned into a brutal state, and so far the 3rd Flying Division and the Panzer Regiment suffered considerable losses. But neither side has the will to stop. The battle has also entered a brutal stage, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose this battle, it's who can't hold out first.

At the same time, the situation that the armored regiment was bombed by Japanese planes also reached Su Jin's ears.

Listening to the staff officer's report, Su Jin, who was sitting on a big rock, groaned for a while before asking, "Can the armored regiment be withdrawn now?" ”

The staff officer replied with a solemn expression: "Division, the armored regiment has been entangled by the Japanese army and cannot be withdrawn." Looking at the posture of the Japanese army, they will do whatever it takes to annihilate the armored regiment here. ”

"Hmph, what a big appetite!" Su Jin's gaze showed a hint of cruelty, "The little devil is not afraid of being broken in his stomach." ”

The staff officer said bitterly: "Division, the reason why the armored regiment can still stalemate with the Japanese army now is because there are not too many planes coming to Japan now, and if they wait until their aviation units arrive one after another, I am afraid that the armored regiment will really be dangerous." ”

Su Jin stood up and said lightly: "Pass my order, order the air defense regiment to make peace with the armored regiment as quickly as possible, and quickly enter the air defense position, I want to see if the Japanese aviation force is willing to annihilate our armored regiment at the cost of annihilating the whole army!" ”

"Yes!"

The air battle became more and more intense, and at 2:30 p.m., the air defense regiment ordered to urgently reinforce and the armored regiment in front of it would join together, and with the arrival of the air defense regiment, the ground anti-aircraft fire immediately changed, especially with the arrival of the M2 90-mm anti-aircraft gun, one after another shells equipped with near-burst fuses exploded in the sky, and the Japanese planes that were caught off guard fell from the sky like dumplings, and the losses increased several times in an instant.

The Japanese aircraft formation, which was already struggling to support, could no longer support it, "Your Excellency Nakasa, it's not good, our formation has lost most of it, and if we continue to fight, we will be wiped out!" ”

Seeing such a huge loss, ******, who had been struggling to support him, closed his eyes in pain, and finally sighed and said: "All units, immediately finish throwing ammunition and return!" ”

"Hay!"

Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore and led the remaining dozen or so planes to fly west.

After the battle, the battlefield was in shambles, and the soldiers of the armored regiment began to rush to rescue the wounded and damaged vehicles.

"Adele, have the casualties been counted?" After a moment of fatigue after the battle, Fred leaned against the armor of a No. 4 tank and asked Adele, who had just arrived.

Adele said with some distress: "We have lost a total of five No. 4 tanks, three No. 2 tanks and two Whirlwind self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, as for the loss of personnel, it has not yet been counted, but I estimate that there are at least more than 100 people, most of them are soldiers of the infantry battalion." ”

"It's okay, this loss is smaller than I thought!" Fred breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he let out a long sigh: "Adele, you know what? I almost thought that this armored regiment we had built was going to be destroyed, and if that were the case, I didn't know if I would be able to bear the loss. The brave and fearless soldiers of the armored regiment did not die on the road to the fortification, but were killed by Japanese planes. ”

Adele also said with some trepidation: "Fortunately, His Excellency the General has equipped our armored regiment with a powerful air defense force, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable." But the most important thing is the heavy anti-aircraft guns that came from behind, and their power is simply beyond words......"

Adele was thrilled at the thought of the heavy anti-aircraft artillery that was constantly pouring ammunition into the sky, and she knew that she couldn't understand why those anti-aircraft guns had such a high degree of accuracy, almost every few shells could achieve a result, and she even wondered if such accuracy could be achieved by humans.

Fred ignored his daughter's words, and after a deep groan, he immediately said: "Now is not the time to sigh, you immediately go down to command the troops, immediately check the damaged tanks and armored vehicles, and put those that can be repaired on the trailer, and throw away those that can't be repaired on the spot!" ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

While the father and daughter were talking, a rapid air raid siren sounded nearby.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"

The soldiers who were busy all left what they were doing and began to take their places, and Adele's face also changed, and she scolded hatefully: "These bastards are here again!" She didn't have time to finish her sentence and ran towards the car next to her.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The alarm was issued by the SCR-584 vehicle-mounted radar attached to the M2 anti-aircraft gun, which has a maximum detection range of 40 kilometers in the air.

Seven or eight minutes later, another Japanese flying formation flew over the armored regiment, this time with more than 30 Type 99 twin-engine light bombers under the 25th Flying Group, and eight Type 1 fighters escorted by Brigade Commander Toshio Sakagawa.

The large-scale bombardment of an armored unit by sending two formations in a row shows Okamura Ninji's fear of the armored regiment. Although Okamura Ninji is not a general who is proficient in armored tactics, this does not mean that he does not attach importance to armored forces. On the contrary, since receiving two consecutive cavalry wings and a tank brigade of his 3rd Division and 13th Division a few days ago that they were severely damaged or even completely annihilated, Okamura Ninji had raised the danger level of the armored regiment led by Fred to the highest level, so he ordered the Third Flying Division to send heavy troops to destroy him at such a cost.

It's just that this time Okamura Ninji was destined to be disappointed, when Toshio Sakakawa led his formation to fly to the battlefield with the help of the cover of the clouds and prepared to dive from a high altitude for a sneak attack, one after another shells that had been deliberately prepared for a long time shot from the ground to the sky.

The M2 90-mm anti-aircraft gun, with a firing height of up to 10,000 meters, drilled into the clouds with the cooperation of the SCR-584 radar, taking the Japanese planes hiding above the clouds by surprise.

"Boom ......"

When one shell after another exploded in the air, the Japanese air raid was doomed to end in tragedy...... (To be continued.) )
