Chapter 1012 - Air Defense Weapon

The scene that happened in the sky was also seen by the little devils who were shrunk in the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When the first Type 96 fighter was shot down, the incident happened suddenly, and the devils in the city did not see it clearly, but the scene of the second Type 96 fighter being blown up was seen by all the devils.

The huge fireworks that bloomed in the air were too brilliant and conspicuous.

"Yaga!" Yoshiharu Ozaki looked up at the huge fireworks blooming in the sky, his face full of disbelief, what happened? Could it have been shot down by an anti-aircraft machine gun of the Chinese? But it shouldn't be, even if it was hit by an anti-aircraft machine gun, as long as it didn't hit the fuel tank directly, it would not have been possible to explode in the air and disintegrate like now.

It is common for the devil's fighters and bombers to be hit by Chinese anti-aircraft machine guns in the process of dive attacks, and almost every time they return home, the wings and fuselage are full of bullet marks, but the planes that are really shot down are very few, this is because the flight speed of propeller aircraft in this era is not too fast, generally only three or four hundred kilometers per hour, this speed, the bullet hits the wing or fuselage, that is, a small eye.

Unlike later generations of supersonic jet fighters, a small piece of splinter hit could cause the plane to disintegrate.

Therefore, the anti-aircraft machine gun poses a limited threat to the propeller aircraft, because the anti-aircraft machine gun will only be truly lethal if it hits the pilot directly, or directly hits the fuel tank of the aircraft.

If you are directly hit by an anti-aircraft shell, it will have such an effect.

The question is, when did the Dameishan Independent Regiment have anti-aircraft guns again?

What's more, even if the Dameishan Independent Regiment has anti-aircraft artillery, it is afraid that it will not be used for attack, and it is more likely that it will only be deployed in the Dameishan District to defend their lair.

Because anti-aircraft guns are not only less lethal than infantry guns, but also bulky.

Ren is Ozaki Yoshiharu can't figure out what their fighter was shot down by, because the bazooka is simply the black technology and black weapon brought back by Xu Rui, although it only pushed the time forward for less than two years, but for the Japanese army invading China, this is still an unimaginable weapon.

However, if you don't understand it, you can't understand it, but it doesn't prevent it from causing a huge psychological shock to the devil.

Including the brigade commander Yoshiharu Ozaki, the devils who independently mixed into the 13th Brigade were originally full of expectations for the arrival of the air force, thinking that with the air fire support of the air force, they would not be able to help them turn defeat into victory and defeat the Dameishan Independent Regiment outside the city, at least they could help them hold the county seat of Tianchang.

However, the harsh reality immediately shattered their illusions.

Fantasy, it turns out, is really just their fantasy.

As the two Type 96 fighters were shot down, the other two fighters had scruples and only dared to hover at a high altitude and no longer dared to dive to attack, and the morale and fighting spirit of the devils in the city quickly fell to a low point, but the morale of the officers and men of the three regiments in Dameishan was greatly boosted, the offensive became more and more fierce, and the balance of victory quickly tilted toward the three regiments.

This was not the end of the matter, more than 10 minutes later, fighter planes and bombers that had taken off from various airports in Nanjing arrived one after another, and although Yuto Asada issued a warning through gestures, these devil pilots who came from Nanjing did not take Yuto Asada's warning at all, and brazenly drove their planes to dive down towards the battlefield.

Then, the previous scene continued to play out.

With the successful precedent of Zhang Meng and Xiao Hun Dan, the artillery of the 3rd Regiment Infantry Artillery Battalion quickly summed up the experience of fighting planes and quickly applied it to actual combat; within half an hour, the 3rd Regiment Infantry Artillery Battalion successively shot down 11 devil fighters or bombers that had rushed to Tianchang County from various airfields to help in the battle.

In the sky, one after another fireworks bloomed.

In the end, all the devil fighters only dared to hover in the sky, and the bombers only dared to drop bombs horizontally at an altitude of more than 500 meters, but did not dare to dive and drop bombs.

I have to say that the devil's aviation has really encountered a sharp weapon of air defense.

Even in the era when Xu Rui crossed over, the low-priced, easy-to-operate bazooka was still the number one killer of helicopter gunships, and the US imperialism, as the world's number one military power at that time, would shoot down dozens or even hundreds of helicopters by guerrillas in Afghanistan, Syria or Iraq every year.

Propeller planes in this era were not much faster than helicopters, so it was difficult to dodge the blows of bazookas.

The power of the bazooka is great, the power is huge and the operation is simple, any veteran can use it very proficiently as long as he has a little training, which is also the main reason why the bazooka has achieved such brilliant results in the first air battle! Another reason why the devil aviation suffered such great losses was that they were so arrogant.

Eleven fighters or bombers were shot down one after another, and the morale of the devils in the city simply fell to the bottom, but the morale of the officers and men of the 7th and 9th Battalions, which were the attacking side, was getting higher and higher, and the offensive became more and more fierce, and by about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the remnants of the 13th Brigade had been compressed into a small area, and its destruction was only a matter of time.

(Dividing Line)

The losses of the aviation were quickly reported to the command of the 12th Army.

Knowing that two fighter squadrons and one bomber squadron of the 3rd Flying Regiment that rushed to Tianchang County for reinforcements had shot down a total of thirteen fighters, Seishiro Itagaki couldn't believe his ears.

"What do you say? Six fighters and five bombers shot down?! Seishiro Itagaki looked at Shigesei Aoki in disbelief with angry eyes, and then said, "Did the Air Force of the National Army participate?" But no, isn't the Kuomintang now engaged in friction with the Communist Party? How could they send the air force to the aid of the Communists? ā€

Shigesei Aoki shook his head and said, "Your Excellency Commander, you have forgotten that the air force of the Nationalist Army had been completely annihilated by our Third Flying Regiment as early as the Battle of Wuhan, and including the Soviet Union's air force aiding China, had also been wiped out by us, so it was impossible for the Nationalist Army to send planes even if it wanted to help the Communists." ā€

"Oh yes, yes." Seishiro Itagaki nodded abruptly and said, "Then I can't figure it out, what shot down the fighters and bombers of the Third Flight Regiment?" Could it be with a machine gun? It is not impossible to shoot down one or two relatively large bombers with machine guns, but how is it possible to shoot down so many fighters and bombers? ā€

Shigesei Aoki continued to shake his head and said, "Ozaki-san didn't make it clear in the telegram, if you want to find out what is going on, I'm afraid you can only wait for the 3rd Flying Regiment to return......"

As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps sounded outside.

The two of them turned their heads to look, and saw that the commander of the 3rd Flying Regiment, Tadaharu Ogari, had already come in with an aviation captain, and after entering the war room, Tadaharu Origaki first gave a heavy head to Seishiro Itagaki, and then said, "Your Excellency, Captain Asada has important military information to report to you. ā€

Seishiro Itagaki looked stunned and asked, "But about the military situation of the air battle?" ā€

"Hello." Tadaji Shiga paused again, then turned back to Asada Yuto behind him and said, "Asada-san, immediately report what you see to Your Excellency the Commander!" ā€

"Hello!" Asada paused, and then told everything he saw.

After listening to Yuto Aada's narration, Seishiro Itagaki and Shigesei Aoki's faces immediately became gloomy.

Shigesei Aoki stepped forward and asked, "Asada-san, are you saying that this is a flat-aim direct-fire cannon that can be fired by a single soldier on his shoulder?" ā€

"Hello." Asada Yuto paused.

"And ......" Shigesei Aoki paused and asked again, "This cannon doesn't have recoil yet?" ā€

"Hello." Yuto Asada paused again and replied, "As far as I can see, the Chinese artilleryman did not fall backwards after firing the shells with the artillery on his shoulder. ā€

Shigesei Aoki glanced back at Seishiro Itagaki and asked, "Is there a lot of such artillery?" ā€

"Not much." Asada Yuto shook his head at first, and then immediately replied, "But there are quite a few, and there are still more than a dozen." ā€

Aoki Shigesei's face suddenly became more and more gloomy, just a dozen such artillery, it took less than an hour to shoot down eleven planes of the Third Flying Regiment, such battle damage, it was already very terrible, and what made Aoki Shigesei even more worried was, where did these new artillery come from?

If these new guns were imported from the West, then it was nothing.

However, if these new artillery pieces are produced by the Dameishan Arsenal and can be produced in large quantities, then there will be a big trouble, because it means that the New Fourth Army in Central China will be able to equip a large number of them, and if the New Fourth Army is equipped with such air defense weapons in large quantities, the aviation regiment of the Central China Squadron will face an unprecedented threat.

This means even more that the Central China Dispatch Army will lose air superiority!

"Your Excellency Commander......" Shigesei Aoki turned to Seishiro Itagaki and was about to speak, when another communications staff officer hurriedly walked into the war room and reported, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Fifth Division is in an emergency!" ā€

Aoki waved his hand impatiently and said in a deep voice, "Read! ā€

"Hello!" The communications staff officer slammed his head, then opened the folder and read aloud, "Send the Command of the Command Army: The 11th Infantry Wing of our division was ordered to reinforce Tianchang County, and when it entered the vicinity of Dayi Town, it was blocked by the New Fourth Army, and in the battle, the New Fourth Army used artillery of unknown origin, which caused heavy damage to our tank troops, resulting in a setback to the offensive. ā€

"Artillery of unknown origin?" Aoki Shigesei lost his voice and said, "It's artillery of unknown origin again!" ā€

"Yaga!" Itagaki Seishiro's facial muscles began to twitch violently, the damn New Fourth Army turned out to be a modern army with superior artillery overnight?

At this time, Tadashi Shiga suddenly said: "Your Excellency Commander, it can't be the same kind of artillery, right?" ā€

"The same cannon?" Aoki Shigesei was awe-inspiring, "And you can fight planes, and you can also fight the artillery of armored vehicles?" ā€

"Thoroughly!" Itagaki Seishiro slammed his fist on the big table, gritted his teeth and said, "Investigate it immediately, what kind of cannon is this?" Where did it come from? ā€

"Hello!" Aoki smacked his head. (To be continued.) )
