Chapter 96: Anti-aircraft Artillery Begins to Show Its Might (2)
Just when Ding Chenggong was discussing the air defense unit with the guard Xiao Su, Major General Sanae, the commander of the 12th Flying Regiment of the Kwantung Army, had already arrived over the periphery of the anti-union base area with the powerful air power of his 45 bombers and 14 fighters.

"General Sanmiao, according to our reconnaissance in the past few days, Yang Jingyu's troops suddenly have a lot of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns!"
Seeing that the aviation fleet had arrived in the sky above the Changbai Mountain base area, Chief of Staff Yamaguchi Nakasa, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but say with some worry: "Should we ......?"
"Yamaguchi-kun, you've said this question many times!"
Major General Sanae, who was full of ambition and was bent on establishing meritorious deeds, immediately waved his hand impatiently and said: "Even if they have the ability to get advanced anti-aircraft guns from the Soviets, it will not help at all!" The air defense force is a high-tech branch, not an ordinary infantry, and with a little training, you can go to the battlefield! ”
"I know, but anticipating the enemy is strict, which is the way of a soldier!"
Seeing Sanae's indifferent appearance, Yamaguchi couldn't help but be worried, thought about it carefully, raised his head, and patiently persuaded: "This time in the air raid operation, I still recommend avoiding dive bombing as much as possible to avoid unnecessary losses!" ”
"Without dive bombing, the hit rate is too low, and the combat effectiveness is too poor!"
Years. Sanae waved her hand impatiently and said, "You still have to carry out dive bombing!" ”
Speaking of which, he noticed Yamaguchi's embarrassed face.
After a little thought, he decided to appease his loyal and well-rounded partner. He said to Yamaguchi-kun in a gentle tone: "Yamaguchi-kun, your worries cannot but be said to be unreasonable, but the enemy in front of us is a group of mountain and forest bandits who extremely lack formal military training!" ”
As soon as he heard Sanae's words, Yamaguchi's face changed.
Seeing that Yamaguchi's face had changed, Sanae immediately struck while the iron was hot, and continued seriously: "They were also equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns captured from us before, and they have not been less fierce in the past few days.
The result? Apart from being able to force our reconnaissance planes to rise to a high altitude, no worthy results were achieved! ”
Rear Admiral Sanae's words made the cautious Chief of Staff Yamaguchi no longer able to insist on his opinion.
He immediately said sincerely: "What Your Excellency General said is that the humble position is a bit too high to consider the enemy's strength!" ”
"It is indeed the way of a soldier to anticipate the enemy's leniency, and your consideration is not wrong!"
Sanae couldn't help but feel proud when she saw Yamaguchi sincerely bowing her head to herself and admitting her mistakes, but on her face, she still said sincerely: "You need to be so cautious on the battlefield, but against this group of Manchurian bandits who don't know what modern warfare is at all, you don't have to worry too much about anything!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the navigator in front sent a radio request: "Your Excellency, the front has arrived at the enemy's air defense zone, and the enemy has turned on more than a dozen high-power searchlights to illuminate the air.
It seems that preparations have been made, but are the air strikes still carried out according to the original plan? ”
"They've turned on a dozen high-powered searchlights?"
Sanae didn't expect that the Anti-Union had been prepared in advance, and couldn't help but ponder slightly.
"Your Excellency General, it seems that the anti-union bandits have received information about our air raids, and the suddenness of the battle has been lost!"
Chief of Staff Yamaguchi pondered for a while, and immediately said to Sanae seriously: "It's better to change the original battle plan and stop dive bombing!" ”
"We've organized the strength of the entire flying regiment this time!"
After thinking about it carefully, Major General Sanae, who was bent on making meritorious contributions, still planned to take a risk: "If the bombers do not carry out dive bombing, the results achieved will be greatly reduced!" ”
Speaking of this, he raised his head and said solemnly to Yamaguchi: "This sortie is the first large-scale combat operation of our 12th Flying Regiment since its formation, and it must achieve considerable results. It's worth the risk! ”
As he spoke, he officially gave the order: "I have decided that the original plan will remain unchanged, and all bombers will immediately carry out intensive dive bombing against the United Nest according to the predetermined tactics!" ”
As he spoke, the entire group of Japanese planes of the entire flying regiment had already arrived at the core area of the anti-union base area.
"Good guys, 45 bombers, fourteen fighters. Little devil, this is sending out all the planes of a flying regiment! ”
After carefully counting the Japanese aircraft group for several days, Cao Yafan, who had already rushed to the command post of the air defense force after hearing the news, was taken aback, and then said to Yang Jingyu: "It seems that Sasaki has made a lot of money this time, and he wants to take a real action against our base area!" ”
"The purpose of the devil's plane pouring out this time is to destroy the logistics support capability of our base area in one fell swoop before the official start of the war!"
Looking at the dense Japanese aircraft group in the sky, Yang Jingyu was also very angry and said: "It's really evil!" ”
Speaking of this, Yang Jingyu noticed the anti-aircraft artillery who were actively preparing for battle, and immediately had confidence, and said with a confident smile: "But that's okay, let's concentrate our forces this time, shoot down a few more of them, and strive to destroy most of its aviation forces!"
Let them also honestly stop for a few days! ”
"That's right, Commander Yang!"
Cao Yafan also said with gusting hands: "Since they are all here, don't think about going back again this time!" I still have to beat down a few more fights to be worthy of his hard work from Sasaki to Ichi! ”
While speaking, the artillery commander of the 100-mm anti-aircraft gun group had already locked on the positional parameters of the Japanese aircraft.
The commander of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion immediately gave an order according to the parameters: "Azimuth five, elevation seven, eight rapid fire!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he waved the command flag downward!
In an instant, a full eighteen 100-mm anti-aircraft guns, which had been preparing for a long time, launched an automatic fire salvo at the Japanese aircraft group!
The dense rain of bullets immediately swept into the air at a height of thousands of meters!
Nearly 100 radio proximity shells were instantly detonated at the same time in the airspace where the Japanese planes were located, and the dense shrapnel fired at a rapid pace in all directions, causing huge casualties to the dense Japanese planes!
The two flaunted their might and were preparing to take the lead in obedience. The Type 97 light bomber that was dive-bombed was directly hit by an anti-aircraft shell on the fuselage, and it blossomed in the air on the spot, and with a loud bang, it turned into a pile of burning debris!
In the blink of an eye, the dense Japanese aircraft group was shot down by the first concentrated fire of the anti-coalition air defense forces, and a whole ten bombers were shot down, and twelve were damaged!
"How can these Manchurian bandits' anti-aircraft guns hit so accurately!"
Looking at his flight group, which lost nearly half of its planes at once, Major General Sanae, who was still complacent just now, suddenly widened his eyes in shock and anger!
