Chapter 873 Airborne Cannon
It's no wonder that the soldiers are so surprised, because these planes that flaunt their might in the sky and blow them up look too simple, the thin fuselage is extremely thin with iron sheets, and many places are even poked out of big holes by tree branches, and many parts of the fuselage are replaced by wood instead of steel, and it looks like it will fall apart at any time.
There is such an illusion, but in the minds of these soldiers and ordinary people who have not seen much, they have gone too far to mythologize the fighter plane, and they will inevitably be a little disappointed when they see things.
In fact, the aviation level of this era is not high, and the performance of the engine has determined that the armor of the fighter cannot be too thick, and the fighter must pursue speed, so the weight of the fuselage is further reduced and the speed is increased.
The Japanese fighters they are now shooting down are all Type 96 carrier-based fighters, which are the first carrier-based fighters in the world to surpass land-based fighters in terms of performance, and they are also the fighters that the Japanese army has used the most in China's airspace since the start of the war.
The performance of the Type 96 carrier-based fighter is not outstanding compared with the fighter jets used in large quantities by the Air Force, and the speed is slow, so its performance on the battlefield is not ideal, and the only valuable thing is that the base is large, and the number of fighters cannot compete with it at all, which ultimately caused the Japanese Air Force to be able to volley rampant in China.
As for the Zero fighter, which was very famous in World War II, it has been in service in large quantities since the 40s, and only a small number of prototypes in the current price segment have appeared on the Chinese battlefield, probably to test the performance of the fighter.
There was no air defense force in Trojan County, so it was impossible for the Japanese Air Force to send Zero fighters to bomb here.
"Battalion commander, come and see the good things!"
Just when many people were talking, the soldiers and civilians came over with a large number of fighter plane wreckage, and some of them came over with a blackened airborne cannon that had been burned and yelled excitedly.
"This is a machine gun on an airplane? The caliber is so big, no wonder hitting someone is the same as chopping with an axe......"
"Zizizi, good thing, I don't know if it can be used when it burns like this?"
As soon as they saw the cannon, the eyes of many soldiers were red with excitement, and Xu Yunluo Youcai hugged it and refused to let go, but they had experienced the terrifying feeling of being strafed by the fighter cannon like hail, if it was used on the battlefield with the little devil, it would be beautiful to think about.
In fact, the 96 fighters were originally equipped with 7-millimeter extremely loaded machine guns, and these 20-millimeter cannons were test machines, hoping to let the people of Trojan County taste the taste of being strafed by this machine gun to vent their anger, but they did not expect to be shot down nine fighters at one time.
Nine fighters equals eighteen more cannons!
"I just saw the bullet holes on the fuselage, although the iron sheet of this plane is thin, but there are still many bullets that can't penetrate the fuselage when the crooked handle and rifle are hit, and Makqin is a big hole, and now with these cannons, we are simply equal to eighteen more heavy machine guns - next time as long as the little devils dare to come, we can beat them crying dad and calling mother...... Luo Youcai said excitedly.
"Don't think too much about it, this cannon is easy to use, but where can I find such a big bullet?" Xu Yun said annoyedly.
The soldiers also said with a look of pity: "Yes, many of these bullets have been exploded, and all the bullets that can be found add up to only more than 5,000, with the firing speed of these cannons, eighteen cannons are fired together, and it is estimated that they will all be used up in less than two minutes......"
"There are good guns, but no good bullets, it's just infuriating!" Luo Youcai stomped his feet depressedly.
"What about the shells? Collect them all, mobilize the people to find them for me, don't drop a bullet shell for me, find it and send it to the Eighth Route Army for us to reload, how many times can you use it, such a good thing, you can't let it be idle! ”
Xu Yun excitedly ordered, while mobilizing the people to try their best to get away the two broken fighters and put them into the tunnel that had been dug to put the fighters, and the rest of the people were pouting and looking for machine gun shells all over the mountains.
The fire in the county has finally been extinguished, but the ground is still hot and scary, and there are signs of melting in many places on the ground, but the walls made of cement and steel are still as stable as Mount Tai, and even if the bomb explodes at close range, it is just a little bit of old skin, which looks particularly strong.
Seeing the traces on these cement walls, the people have more confidence in the safety of their lives in the future, even if they sleep in the house, they are not too afraid of the Japanese fighters coming to bomb them.
After this lesson, I believe that next time even if they hide in the air-raid shelter, they will block the tunnel pass as soon as possible, so that no matter if the little devil uses poison gas bombs or incendiary bombs to solidify, they will not cause the same tragic casualties this time.
"Bageya Road, there are no planes at all in Trojan County, there is no air defense force, you can actually lose nine fighters, it's really damned!"
In the Japanese military headquarters, after listening to the report of the air force general, Terauchi Shouichi screamed angrily, and rushed up to crack a few big mouths, which should have been to vent his anger, but instead provoked more anger, and his Terauchi Shouichi's lungs were about to explode!
The empire is short of materials, and every fighter is the most valuable asset of the empire, so he loses nine fighters at a time, and he feels that even if all the people in Trojan County are killed at one time, it will not be worth the loss of so many fighters.
"Lu Yuan, this must have something to do with this damn Lu Yuan...... This bastard, why don't you die! ”
Terauchi Shouyi trembled and thought, his teeth were gritting, and when he thought of the words Lu Yuan, the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment, and Trojan County, he felt that his brain hurt.
The air force general was sprayed with nosebleeds from several big mouths, but he didn't even dare to wipe it, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and his heart was also extremely aggrieved - he had already asked the pilots who had returned, and according to the descriptions of those pilots, it could be roughly determined that such heavy losses in this air raid were actually due to rifles and machine guns in Trojan County.
Knocking out nine fighters at once with rifles and machine guns, is this like words?
He didn't even dare to report this fact to General Terauchi Shouichi, otherwise, he estimated that he would not have been as simple as taking a few big mouths, and he would probably have to apologize to the emperor by seppuku like Kenji Dohihara!
"Your Excellency, please stop your anger!"
Nishio Shouzo on the side stood up and said: "It is indeed extremely unfortunate that the Imperial Air Force has suffered such a heavy loss, but the losses have been done, and His Excellency the General will not be able to solve the problem even if he is angry again - the combat troops on the front line are ready, and they can launch an attack on the ** troops on the other side at any time, please give the order of Your Excellency the General!" ”
"Attack, defeat them!"
Terauchi Shouichi roared viciously, saying that there is no way to take this damn road now, so he can only vent this evil fire on the people of China in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and these China troops on the other side.
