Just when Xiao Siming led the main force eastward and ambushed the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Japanese Railway, the anti-aircraft artillery battalion and anti-aircraft machine gun battalion of the artillery regiment also started their own ground-to-air maiden battle in Dezhou City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After completely annihilating the North China Garrison Army and forming the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the Mixed Brigade and Regiment, they hurriedly cleaned up the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, and engineer battalion on the battlefield, and hurriedly withdrew to Dezhou City without bothering to bury the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.

In addition to sending one company to guard in the direction of the Huangheya Railway Station, the battalion headquarters commanded the other two companies to set up sentry posts in the city, railway station, and wharf of Dezhou, mobilizing the villagers who had not yet been transferred to the city to avoid possible bombing by the Japanese army.

The anti-aircraft artillery battalion and the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, in accordance with the battle plan and Xiao Siming's order, relied on the North City Gate of Dezhou to establish air defense positions and prepare to meet the Japanese aircraft.

This was the first time that the antiaircraft artillery battalion and the antiaircraft heavy machine gun battalion had fought in the air, and Zhao Xiuchuan, commander of the artillery regiment, and Zhao Fufu, deputy commander of the regiment, personally took command.

Because it was the first time to fight against the air, the cadres and soldiers were a little nervous, eager to try, but also nervous, and everyone was looking at the sky with their eyes wide open!

That's not good!

Because it is necessary to calculate the firing range and coordinates, there are many literate people in the artillery regiment, and there are more recruits. It is not a big problem to hit a tank with a high-level dual-purpose artillery, because it is with the main forces, and the artillery positions are under the protection of the infantry. Now it's different, this is an anti-aircraft artillery battalion and an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion deployed separately to conduct low-altitude operations, and the Japanese planes are so fast that they can bomb and strafe from the air.

Including the artillery commander Zhao Xiuchuan and the deputy head Zhao Fufu, they don't have a score in their hearts!

Zhao Xiuchuan ordered the cadres to calm down, do ideological work for the soldiers, and relieve the tension of the soldiers.

Zhao Fufu is now the deputy head of the regiment, and he is still a first-class combat hero in the Jilu border, but he shouldn't have a stinky problem. Zhao Xiuchuan asked the cadres to do ideological work for the soldiers to relieve their nervousness, and when they arrived at him, they became sour.

Zhao Fu told the soldiers that there is no need to be afraid, the Japanese are very evil. According to the commander, there are four people in the Japanese heavy bomber, one of whom must be the pilot who flies the plane, and the other is the navigator who leads the way to the aeronautical chart, and the other two crew members are difficult to say, one is a bombardier and machine gunner, and the other is likely to be a Japanese flower girl. You know, the little devils are all sluts, and wherever they go, they are purely a bunch of brutes. This is not nonsense, look at the Japanese surnames, what Inoue, Tanaka, Matsushita, Ikegami, Terauchi, Yamashita, Koizumi, etc., that is not nonsense, it means that their ancestors were in the wild and everywhere to pull a girl to be a dang, to give birth to a wild seed. Therefore, the Japanese surname Tanaka means that their ancestors were born in the fields when they were planting crops and working; It is called the pine, which is born in the field under the pine tree; is called Inoue, that is, when he went to the well platform to fetch water, he met a woman who opened his pants and dried it, and gave birth; The one called the small spring was born when he drank water from a small spring in the mountains.

This is not entirely nonsense, because the Japanese civilization evolved relatively late, and it was not until the Meiji Restoration that they had a surname. However, when these words came out of Zhao Fufu's mouth, they became low-level fun.

Hearing the young warriors laugh, the tension was relieved at once.

Needless to say, Zhao Xiuchuan kicked Zhao Fufu's ass hard again!

At about 7 o'clock, the gunfire of the air defense post rang out, and Zhao Xiuchuan immediately ordered the troops to enter the gun position and prepare for battle!

A black dot appeared in Zhao Xiuchuan's telescope, and gradually, the outline of the black dot became larger and larger, turning into a Japanese plane with a sun pattern painted on its fuselage.

The Japanese plane flew quite high at first, but began to descend near the north of Texas City, and finally flew very low, almost grazing the treetops and rooftops.

Zhao Xiuchuan thought to himself, this must be a reconnaissance plane of the Japanese army, the reason why it flew so low is that maybe the pilot wanted to observe more carefully and accurately! Anyway, without waiting for the Japanese fighters and bombers, they used this reconnaissance plane to test the knife first!

The planes of the Japanese army were at such a low altitude that the anti-aircraft guns did not work. Zhao Xiuchuan immediately ordered the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion to open fire and shoot down the Japanese plane!

The anti-aircraft machine gun battalion now has only 16 Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns, six of which were captured during the destruction of the Taiyuan airport, six were captured at the Dezhou railway station, and four were captured from the two military columns carrying ammunition supplies, tanks, and armored vehicles during the attack on the Lianzhen railway station.

Four Gaoping dual-purpose guns were also captured in Lianzhen, but because the artillery regiment was still not fully staffed and its strength was limited, it could only be stored in the warehouse of the logistics office in Leling. Only when the next batch of recruits from the new regiment is replenished can the antiaircraft artillery battalion integrate the four high-level dual-purpose guns into the unit.

It turned out that the Gaoping dual-purpose guns and Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns captured by the independent battalion during the sneak attack on the Zhengtai Road Stone Measuring Station had already been handed over and sent back to Yan'an to form an air defense force.

Sixteen Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns, four in the front and six in the other two groups, formed a triangular formation, facing the incoming Japanese planes.

Zhao Xiuchuan decisively gave the order to fire!

The 16 high-level dual-purpose machine guns of the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion opened fire instantly, and the 16 tongues of fire swept towards the sky in the direction from which the Japanese planes were flying.

Although it was the first battle, air defense was an important subject during the training in Leling, and the anti-aircraft artillery battalion and anti-aircraft machine gun battalion of the artillery regiment trained in ground-to-air combat, and the tactics of the training were the "concentrated fire shooting" pondered by Xiao Siming, Zhao Xiuchuan and others, which was the tactics summed up by our army in ground-to-air operations in later generations, which were borrowed by Xiao Siming and taught to the troops in the name of pondering with Zhao Xiuchuan.

Not only the antiaircraft artillery battalions and antiaircraft machine gun battalions of the artillery regiments have trained in the tactics of concentrated fire, but also all infantry battalions and companies have also trained in this tactic, with the aim that all units on the battlefield can fire at the air at any time to cover the battlefield.

At this time, the Japanese planes were very arrogant, and the height of the ground attack was limited, and if the light and heavy machine guns of various units were concentrated on the air, it was very likely that they would be able to shoot down the Japanese planes, and at least they could force the Japanese planes to increase their altitude and reduce the accuracy of bomb dropping.

It was too late to say that it was too late, and then it was too fast, and the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion suddenly opened fire, and a barrage was formed in front of the Japanese planes. The Japanese plane, which was swept at a low altitude, didn't have time to react at all, and crashed directly into the barrage, turning into a fireball in an instant!

After the victory in the first battle, the mood of the fighters of the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion and the anti-aircraft artillery battalion was completely stabilized at once, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the little devil's planes soon, and a few more planes would come, so that they could expand the results of the battle!

It may be that the reconnaissance plane did not have time to send back a wireless signal to the airport, and the Japanese airfield could not figure out what was going on with the reconnaissance plane, and it was not until 10 a.m. that four more Japanese planes flew in from the direction of Jinan.

Zhao Xiuchuan immediately ordered the anti-aircraft artillery battalion and the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion to adjust their gun positions and turn, and the muzzles and machine guns were all pointed diagonally to the southeast of Dezhou City, waiting for the four Japanese planes to sweep towards the air defense position at the north gate of Dezhou City!

At this time, it was the time when the Hendong Corps of the Nationalist * Army stormed the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, and after the 71st Army recaptured Lanfeng Station last night, the 74th Army launched a strong attack early this morning and recaptured Luowangji Station. Therefore, the planes of the Provisional Aviation Regiment of the Japanese North China Front Army were basically used to cover the operations of the 14th Division, and the Japanese planes that took off from Xuzhou Airport, Anyang Airport, and Handan Airport rushed to the Lanfeng area one after another, for fear that it would be too late and the 14th Division would be wiped out by the National * Army!

For this reason, the Japanese army's reconnaissance bombing of Texas came relatively late. This is still too important for Dezhou, and Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo, chief of staff of the North China Front, will strictly order the North China Air Corps to send planes to Dezhou to reconnoiter and support the siege operations of the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army.

So far, the North China Front Headquarters, the North China Front Army's forward headquarters in Jinan, the Second Army Headquarters, and the North China Garrison Army have not yet known that the Second Brigade has been completely annihilated and is still kept in the dark!

Lieutenant Yamada and Second Lieutenant Ken Ogura, who were stationed at the Huangheya Railway Station, did not send another search team to the direction of Dezhou because they were superstitious about the combat effectiveness of the mixed brigade of the North China Garrison Army, but strictly followed the orders of His Excellency the Captain of the Second Brigade to strengthen the vigilance of the Huangheya Railway Station and strictly defend their positions.

Then again, even if Lieutenant Yamada sends a search team to search and reconnoiter in the direction of Texas again, there may be no return. Every time I see the 5 little devils and those traitors they sent out last night, do you just go and never come back?

Now no, these four Japanese planes flew all the way from the southeast, and finally found the wreckage of Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, rubber-tyred carts and Japanese corpses all over the road.

The devil pilots saw clearly that the corpses of soldiers of the Great Japanese Army were several miles away on the road, and judged that they were the corpses of the soldiers of the Second Brigade of the North China Garrison Brigade Wing, which was used to recapture Dezhou. The second brigade, the collective jade is broken!

Although the city of Texas was quiet and there was not a wisp of gunpowder smoke in sight, the Japanese pilots knew before they set off that the Eighth Route Army had captured Texas, and at this time they found out that the second brigade had been wiped out, and the devil pilots would definitely retaliate!

Sure enough, when flying over Texas City, four Japanese planes began to fly from south to north, dropping bombs as they flew. Bombs exploded in Texas City, and soon there was a flash of fire.

Just as the four Japanese planes swept over the city of Texas and swept towards the north gate, the anti-aircraft artillery battalion and the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, which had been waiting for a long time, opened fire.

The earth shook with the roar of the cannons!

The sound of anti-aircraft machine guns is like the firecrackers set off by thousands of households in the city during the Chinese New Year.

The two Japanese planes flying in the front, without the slightest defense, directly crashed into the barrage formed by anti-aircraft shells and anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, and were smashed into two fireballs. The two Japanese planes behind saw that the situation was not right, and as soon as the pilot pulled the control stick, he urgently pulled up in an attempt to get rid of the ground fire of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, I remembered to pull up, it was too late!

The rate of fire of the anti-aircraft guns is a little slow, but the rate of fire of the anti-aircraft machine guns is very fast, and the fire is endless, where will the Japanese planes be allowed to escape!

The Japanese planes flew from the southeast to the northwest to meet the muzzles and muzzles of the Eighth Route Army's ground anti-aircraft fire, and the speed was so fast that even if the Japanese pilots were of high quality, strong combat effectiveness, and quick response, it would be too late. I saw two Japanese planes behind, one was shot in the abdomen, turned into a fireball again, and exploded in the air, and the other was like a drunk drunk, emitting black smoke and staggering, not only failed to pull up, but also fell headlong into the canal west of Texas City.

At this time, Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff of the Japanese North China Front Army in Jinan, finally learned the news that the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army Mixed Brigade had failed to attack Dezhou and that the collective jade had been shattered!
