Chapter 169: Mao Chenzhen (3)
Kendasa Aso sat in the cabin, looking at the large empty plain below and the clouds of fire and black smoke, and a fierce color that could not be concealed appeared on his face. The latest Type 97 heavy bomber he was riding in Japan, this heavy bomber with a bomb load of 1,000 kilograms is the most advanced bomber in Japan at present, and this aircraft is also equipped with an unprecedented radio station, which can give combat orders to the flight formation through radio, so when it was in the first day of service in the army, Ken Aso chose it as his command plane.
This time, because Okamura Ninji attached great importance to the Independent Brigade, the Third Division sent a huge bombing formation unprecedentedly, which included 27 bombers including the Type 97 and 12 Nakajima fighters, which could be regarded as unprecedentedly powerful.
At this time, the navigator's excited voice came from Aso's ears, "Your Excellency Osa, the bombing of the first squad of the third squadron has been very smooth, our squad has dropped half of the aerial bombs, and so far it has not been intercepted by the ground fire of Shina. ”
Aso Ken smiled proudly and reservedly: "Yo Xi, the third squadron is doing a good job, according to intelligence, the maximum caliber of the anti-aircraft guns equipped by the Chinese is only forty millimeters, and their effective firing height is only less than five thousand meters, for those low-altitude dive attack aircraft and fighters are acceptable, but there is nothing we can do to deal with our heavy bombers flying at an altitude of more than six thousand meters, so we just need to fly to a safe altitude and drop bombs, although the accuracy is poor, but it is very safe, Now I order all the bombers to start dropping bombs! ”
"Hay! Attention all units, open the hatch! ”
With Aso's order, 12 Type 97 bombers and 15 Type 96 heavy bombers opened the hatch of the belly of the plane one after another, and one bomb after another revealed a hideous cold light at the same time.
Aso shouted: "Attention to all units...... Get ready...... Bombing! ”
At the same time, under a camouflage net, anti-aircraft guns pointed their heads up at the sky. The huge muzzle of the cannon was terrifying, but before that, a hoarse voice sounded in the ears of all the gunners: "Attention of the third company...... The height of the enemy aircraft was 6,500 ...... Directions 354...... Fire! ”
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
As the roaring cannons rang out, more than a dozen high-explosive shells flew into the air under the powerful action, and when these shells flew to an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, these shells exploded one after another at a high altitude, and puffs of black smoke accompanied by shrapnel scattered everywhere.
As one high-explosive bomb after another exploded around the Japanese aircraft formation, the Japanese bomber pilots were all taken aback and asked one after another by radio: "Your Excellency, Captain, why do the people of China have such a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun?" ”
In fact, what the Japanese intelligence did not know was that with the expansion of the force and in order to deal with the increasingly serious threat from the air. Su Jin also equipped the newly expanded air defense battalion with a larger-caliber anti-aircraft gun. At present, the anti-aircraft battalion is armed with three types of anti-aircraft artillery, which are the 20-mm FlaK38 anti-aircraft gun, the Bofors 40-mm anti-aircraft gun and the 88-mm caliber anti-aircraft gun.
In particular, the newly equipped 88 mm caliber anti-aircraft gun is a very famous anti-aircraft gun, in another time and space, this anti-aircraft gun is known for its fast rate of fire, great power and strong armor-piercing ability, and it is very suitable to use it to deal with enemy aircraft at an altitude of 6,000 to 10,000 meters.
"Boom ......"
While talking. An artillery shell exploded next to a Type 97 bomber at a distance, and the violent shock wave and metal fragments slashed off the right wing of the bomber by a third, and the bomber, which had lost part of its wing, immediately emitted thick black smoke.
"Report to Your Excellency Captain, you have been shot in the wing. Engine No. 1 has stopped running and is requesting to return...... Request to return! ”
Listening to the panicked voice in the headphones, Aso Ken scolded in a low voice with a pale face, and then gritted his teeth and shouted: "2074." Allowed to return! All fighters immediately opened a bombing channel for attack aircraft, and the bombers began to deliver high-altitude bombs! ”
"Hay!"
As Aso's words fell, a neat voice soon sounded in his headset.
"Six o'clock direction. Two Nakajima fighters, firing ......"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Four o'clock...... A Japanese plane is coming...... Hurry up! ”
As the anti-aircraft battalion began to counterattack, the sound of shell explosions resounded everywhere in the sky......
Listening to the non-stop explosions in the sky like firecrackers, Su Jin, who quietly poked his head out of the anti-artillery hole, finally breathed a sigh of relief, with the counterattack and containment of the air defense battalion, the arrogance of the Japanese planes that bombed the ground unscrupulously just now was finally suppressed, and many heavy bombers began to raise the height again, but Su Jin also saw that many fighters had left the formation and pounced on the ground.
Removing the telescope from the sky, Su Jin said casually and loudly: "Observation post...... Report on the movements of the Japanese army! ”
No one answered.
"Observation Post...... Observation post ......"
Su Jin frowned at first, then hurriedly looked to the right, and found that a tide observation post that was originally less than thirty meters away from here had been crushed by the collapsed clods of soil.
Su Jin's heart tightened, the observation post As the name suggests, their task is to be responsible for observing the movements of the enemy army, while reporting the situation to the command at any time, although they do not have to undertake combat missions, their work is very dangerous. When bombarded or shelled, the combat infantry will enter the anti-artillery hole to hide at the first time, but as the eyes and ears of the whole army, they can only hide in the impenetrable observation post to perform their duties and report the enemy's movements to the headquarters.
"Come a few people, and immediately dig out the brothers inside."
As Su Jin's words fell, several soldiers quickly came out of the anti-artillery hole, either by hand or with a sapper shovel to dig up the collapsed mound.
After five or six minutes of intense rescue, the soldiers finally dug out two observers from the almost collapsed bunker, and if it weren't for the soldiers' quick movements, the two poor observers would have been buried alive.
Before Su Jin could speak, there was a warning signal from another observation post next to him, "Report to the chief, the Japanese are starting to move." ”
Su Jin hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked ahead, more than a thousand meters away from them, a large group of Japanese troops placed the battle formation several kilometers wide and began to touch the position of the independent brigade, among these attacking Japanese troops, Su Jin also saw several Japanese chariots.
