126 Air-to-artillery
One, two, six, air-to-gun
Stop the army mountain in the southwest of Hengyang City, this is the 7th company of the 30th Regiment of the 10th Pre-Tenth Division to guard the position, Zhang Tiantao company commander with the whole company to guard here, the underground dug the air-raid shelter early, the outside artillery rumbled, every 150 grenades landed on the ground shook the hole buzzing, the huge explosion seemed to be able to pull the heart out of the chest.
After half an hour of bombardment, the devil stopped, and Company Commander Zhang shouted, "Go to the position and prepare for battle!" "The soldiers were all beaten up all night, and one by one they ran out of the dugout with their weapons without his command.
As soon as they arrived outside the cave, they found that the entire fortification had been bombarded, and the huge craters had become the trenches they are now. Everyone didn't care about digging trenches anymore, because the devils under the mountain had already lined up in battle formation and started charging!
This time, the devils of the two squadrons went up together, and Company Commander Zhang spat and foamed, "He brewed it, this is the sixth time, right?" There are a lot of these little devils! This is to test grandpa's ammo volume, brothers, give me a hard beating, there is a lot of ammo! ”
A company of three platoons, the regiment commander strengthened a firepower platoon, counting more than 120 people, after the devil's shelling last night, suddenly charged, company commander Zhang waited until the devil climbed more than 50 meters in front of the position, before giving an order, more than 100 soldiers threw out more than 300 Mills grenades at the first time.
The character of the British was not very good, but the quality of the weapons was very good, and the grenades that rained down in the dark smashed the devil's steel helmet properly, and then, in a muffled explosion, dozens of corpses fell in front of the position.
Immediately afterwards, a 60 small cannon continuously fired flares, illuminating the front of the position as bright as day, the devil obviously did not expect ** to have such a high-grade color, in a wail, light and heavy machine guns sounded at the same time, not Makqin, but the rumored Hitler chainsaw, the length of the "boom" is like someone tearing the cloth, the sound pierces the ears numb!
The devils were all pressed to the ground in front of the position for the first time, they were all veterans, just listening to the sound of the machine gun, you know that how many people rushed forward was in vain.
Company Commander Zhang didn't want to let them go like this, while ordering the two heavy machine guns to keep changing positions, and the fire fault was filled by three light machine guns, he pointed to the place where the devil fired the small cannons, and let the three 60 guns bombard for a while.
Poor 50 small cannons, when he met his eldest brother, he didn't have a temper at all, and soon even the people with the cannon were blown up. The other two were also watched by 60 guns, and they didn't dare to fart all the time!
The rest of the devils panicked, there was no support firepower, two 96 light machines, one was crushed by a heavy machine gun and his head was shrunk into his ass, and the other was watched by three Garands. I had to pin my hopes on the two Type 92s at the rear squadron headquarters.
92, who had been silent for a long time, screamed as he wished, and swept down a chainsaw machine gun in the first long point, and all the devils in front of the position roared, "Half!" "Several of them rolled over and got ready to attack.
However, before they could rejoice, several mortar shells with whistles fell in front of the ten-man platform!
The devils retreated, and in front of the opponent with a lot of heavy firepower, they knew that if they rushed up again, they would be looking for death, so they climbed back one by one with their guns, and the light machine guns at the squadron headquarters were also firing at the squadron headquarters.
Company Commander Zhang ordered everyone to do their best to leave more devils, so under the strafing of machine rifles, only a few dozen devils were left to retreat all the way, spilling blood all the way, and the biggest casualties still came from those 60 guns! Wherever the devils retreated, the artillery hit along the marked firing range, leaving at least one or two corpses for each shell!
Seeing that a trick did not work, the 68th Division ignored the orders from above, and sacrificed a trick, at four o'clock, the position of Company Commander Zhang suddenly sounded an explosion, but the sound was very small, all of them were "poof" sounds, and Company Commander Zhang ran to the entrance of the cave to take a look, and the whole position was yellow-green.
"Poison gas, the devil has released poison gas, put on a mask!" American-made gas masks were put on their heads, and everyone was sullen when they spoke, and not only that, they also wore plastic paper gloves, and all the exposed skin was tightly wrapped in plastic paper.
Ten minutes later, the soldiers of the 7th Company guarding the trench heard a slight footstep, in fact, at this time, the devil was less than fifty meters away from the position, and it was only late to find out due to the barrier of the mask.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and the front of the position suddenly became cheerful, and the soldiers found that the devil was only more than ten meters away. With a shake of his hand, the grenade that had already pulled out the safety flew out.
The devils of the two squadrons were originally preparing to come over and stab people directly with bayonets, but they didn't know that the other party also had the same equipment, but they didn't react for a while, and only when the grenades exploded in the crowd did they think of dodging, where was the time?
The captain of the mountain brigade is a battle-hardened battle, as soon as he heard the first wave of grenade explosions, he knew that it was not good, this British grenade could only be thrown one by one, and this sound alone knew that there were at least more than a hundred ** on the mountain, and he was not injured by poison gas at all, so he quickly ordered to blow the trumpet and let the attacking troops retreat!
Company Commander Zhang sent off again with machine guns and 60 guns, and nearly 300 corpses had been left on the entire hillside.
The commander of the 68th Division, Zuo Jiu, was angry with the people (look at the name), and he had lost hundreds of people on a small hill, and this was still a peripheral position, if he attacked the city, how many people would have to die to fill it?
He had no choice but to ask Isamu Yokoyama for the air force to bomb, believing that the 500-kilogram bomb would definitely be able to blow up the hill.
When Ma Yilong and they arrived, they happened to encounter the 51st Squadron of the 25th Destroyer Brigade escorting 20 bombers to help in the battle, and it was also a coincidence, the radar also found more than 40 Zero and Nakajima Hayabusa fighters flying from Wuhan, the Falcon is very powerful, the output is second only to the Zero War, there are two 12.7 machine guns, in the South Seas, many American planes have been shot down by this kind of aircraft.
The Wuhan fleet is escorting 20 Type 1 land attack and Type 97 bombers, which are old planes that have been bombed in China for many years, and each one is stained with Chinese blood.
A land attack aircraft is a new variety, the speed and performance are better than the 97, equipped with four 20 mm cannons and five 7.7 machine guns, it can be said to be armed to the teeth, but it has one of the biggest weaknesses, known as the air lighter, as long as it is an important part of the 12.7 bullet, it will ignite a fire.
Yamashita pondered that this time he was ruthless, so that these 21 bombers were loaded with 800 kilograms or a ton of aerial bombs, if they were thrown on the cessation mountain, it was estimated that only one shot would blow up the mountain!
After Ma Yilong saw the enemy's situation, he ordered, "25th Squadron, you go to deal with the devil's bombers, and you must not let them drop bombs!" Bomber group, I will send a team to cover you to kill the devil's heavy artillery, pay attention to ground anti-aircraft artillery fire, and if the situation is not right, carry out high-altitude horizontal bombing! ”
After receiving the order, each team split up and pounced on their opponents!
Since the Wuhan aircraft group was still in the north, over the battlefield, the ground troops only saw a small group of 8 wild donkeys taking the lead in rushing towards the devil's heavy artillery position.
These 8 planes followed Ma Yilong in the sky just now, so there was enough ammunition, and Captain Ye Feng attacked downward with his wingman!
On the ground, one squadron of 40 anti-aircraft guns and another squadron of 20 anti-aircraft guns desperately threw projectiles into the sky. Suddenly, a large black cloud was thrown out of the sky over the heavy artillery position!
The 40 anti-aircraft guns fired at an altitude of about 3,000 meters and a speed of about 80 rounds per minute, while the 20 anti-aircraft guns were only 1,000 meters, but this kind of 20 anti-aircraft guns imitating the Erli Kong had a very fast rate of fire, up to more than 300 rounds a minute!
So Ye Feng ordered early on that he could only shoot above 1000 meters! So that they only had to deal with 12 40 anti-aircraft guns.
A squadron of 12 anti-aircraft guns is really a bit small to defend against 24 heavy artillery positions, and they can't be stacked together, so they can only set up one every few tens of meters.
Ye Feng took his wingman around the anti-aircraft artillery position, and from time to time he rushed in from the edge, first, to consume the enemy's ammunition, and secondly, he had to find out the weak point of the opponent's defense!
