Chapter 224: Ground-Air Battle
Looking at the small black dots that had already appeared in the distance, Sun Zuguang calculated and estimated the speed of the devil's plane and the time it would take to fly the artillery position. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sun Zuguang silently calculated in his heart, and felt that the time was almost up, and immediately ordered loudly.
"Fire!"
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Tracer grenades exploded at high altitudes, the radiation range of each shell was about ten meters in radius, and twelve anti-aircraft guns fired a salvo, producing a shrapnel network composed of a large number of shrapnel. The area with a radius of 100 meters over the artillery positions was blocked.
The bomber squadron of the 3rd Bomber Regiment of the 2nd Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army carried out this bombing mission, which was actually the Japanese bomber squadron that had patronized the positions of the security forces before, with 3 flying squadrons and 27 bombers.
The captain of the flying team, Kumamoto Shaosa, was born in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, and the devil soldiers from Kumamoto Prefecture were born with a single barbaric atmosphere, and the notorious Japanese Sixth Division was called the Kumamoto Division by another name.
Although Kumamoto Shaozo is an aviation commander, he is as murderous as the soldiers of the Sixth Division, and when he is in Japan, he will be more restrained.
But when he set foot on Chinese territory, he made killing people commonplace, and for Kumamoto, he did not have to bear any legal responsibility for killing Chinese.
In the morning, Kumamoto Shosa and the 3rd Flying Squadron had already bombarded the positions of the security forces once, wasting hundreds of shells, but they did not achieve any effect.
Two tank squadrons and a mountain artillery squadron were attacked by the artillery of the security army and were completely annihilated, which made Lieutenant General Nakamura Takaro very dissatisfied, and specially called Kumamoto Shaosa to scold him.
Although the two do not belong to the same system, Nakamura Kotaro is the head of the division, and a few unsatisfactory words to Kumamoto's boss may affect his future, and even if it is to directly deal with Kumamoto Shaosa, it is not impossible.
Japan is a very strange country, throughout World War II, European and American countries were trying their best to discover the air force, lest they fall behind others and be attacked, but Japan has never established an air force.
Although Japan also invested a lot of energy in the research and development and production of aircraft after the outbreak of the Pacific War, they only regarded aircraft as auxiliary arms of the army and navy, and also set up two aviation units under the army and navy respectively.
During the Japanese war of aggression against China, units at the army level generally had an army aviation unit that directly obeyed the dispatch of the army commander, and the scale ranged from a flight regiment to a flight division.
If you really count it, the army aviation can be regarded as a member of the army, Nakamura Kotaro, as the commander of the division, can mobilize an aviation unit at any time to suppress the enemy's firepower for him, if he is determined to make Kumamoto look good, then Kumamoto's life will be sad.
Kumamoto Shaozo is a proud fellow, he is only in his early thirties this year, and he is in the prime of life, and he usually does not pay attention to the soldiers of the army, let alone the Chinese who are slaughtered by them.
After being counted out by Kotaro Nakamura, Kumamoto was already furious. In particular, Kotaro Nakamura actually pointed at his nose and said: It was the most correct decision that the naval aviation unit did not choose him at the beginning, otherwise, this time the empire would not have lost one or two tank squadrons, but an entire warship, or even a fleet.
In Japan, almost everyone knows that really good pilots have joined the naval aviation units, and the army aviation has selected the rest except for a small number of elites.
Usually everyone likes to say that "heroes don't mention the courage of the year", but they don't know that the scars of the year can't be mentioned, Nakamura Kotaro ruthlessly exposed the scars of Kumamoto Shaosa.
Kumamoto Shaosa's eyes were instantly bloodshot, like a beast ready to fight at any time, if it weren't for the big difference between his status and Nakamura Kotaro, it is estimated that he would have been desperate with Lieutenant General Nakamura a long time ago.
This time he was ordered to bomb the artillery of the Chinese army, Kumamoto Shaosa can be said to have held his breath, and even ignored the aviation regulations, ordering each bomber to carry five more bombs on the basis of the maximum bomb load, the purpose of which was to completely destroy the artillery of the security army, and he was ashamed.
"Damn the Shina people, let me die all."
After seeing the artillery position of the security army from a distance, Kumamoto had a hideous smile on his face, and he was about to lower his flight altitude to further observe the bombing target.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the distant position kept flashing red light, and then a series of explosions came from high in the sky, and the violent explosions dispersed the clouds in the sky, and then one after another cannonballs with the breath of death exploded in the air.
"Baga, how can the security army have such a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun, quickly increase the altitude!"
Kumamoto Shaosa's face changed greatly, because during the first bombardment, they were not hit by any anti-aircraft fire, so this time the bombardment, the entire team did not even have the combat effectiveness of a single escort.
At this time, it was too late to turn around, and in order not to be affected by the explosion of anti-aircraft shells and the formation of a firepower network, Kumamoto Shaosa could only hope that the vertical range of the anti-aircraft guns was not enough.
But in fact, it turns out that all this is just wishful thinking on the part of Kumamoto Shaosa, the vertical range of the 88 anti-aircraft gun is nearly 10,000 meters, and the effective range alone is six or seven thousand meters, how can the main body of the little devil's plane be made of wood, how can it fly so high.
When he saw a series of shells and machine gun bullets rising from the ground, the devil's pilot turned pale, and he was not so skilled in flying the plane, but became scrambling.
If you look at it from the outside, you can see that the devil's plane is constantly twisting, and it is a kind of irregular kind.
Bang! Bang!
The two bombers were volleyed into fireballs, and the miserable cries of the devil pilots came from the fireballs.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The explosions rang out one after another, mixed with the explosion of artillery shells and the explosion of airplanes, and the fighters of the air defense battalion did not have time to check the results of the shelling, and fired one shell after another, and the entire air above the artillery position was filled with the sound of tracer grenade explosions.
"Da Da Da!"
At the same time, the plane had already entered the range of the machine guns, and twenty-four machine guns also opened fire at the same time, and suddenly countless chains of white light bullets shot into the air.
The rate of fire of the machine gun was very fast, and the frantic shooting of the fighters finally formed a pillar of light, and in the eyes of the pilot who fell into the devil, it was like someone was controlling a laser stick several kilometers long to stir in the air.
Without the slightest preparation, they entered the area covered by the air fire fired by anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and the Japanese planes lost very quickly.
In the first round of fire strikes by the air defense battalion, eight planes were blown up in the air, and six planes were injured to varying degrees, and without dropping a single bomb, they were forced to withdraw from the bombing formation and fly back to the Chengde airfield.
"Yaga Yalu!"
Before the bombing mission officially began, more than half of the bombers were lost, which almost drove Kumamoto Shosa crazy.
Even if the bombing was successful, the gains outweighed the losses, a mountain cannon was only tens of thousands of silver dollars, and the price of a bomber was at least more than 100,000 silver dollars, and the loss of 14 bombers at one time was definitely more than 2 million silver dollars.
This means that even if all the artillery in the artillery positions of the security army is blown up by themselves, they still make money.
"The squads immediately dispersed and swooped down to bomb the prevention and control forces of the Chinese people." Kumamoto Shaosa roared and ordered.
Although Kumamoto was eager to destroy our artillery positions immediately, he knew that if the fire of the air defense battalion was not destroyed, they would not be able to successfully complete the bombing, and if the rack fighters were shot down again, the bombing would really be lost.
Although there is no combat escort, the bomber is not without the power to resist, although the speed of the bomber is slow, and the fuselage is not flexible, but this is all based on the enemy's fighter chasing and killing, Li Han obviously cannot send combat power to chase and kill the devil's bomber.
The remaining dozen or so planes were still overwhelmingly dropping bombs on the positions of the air defense battalions, and the two aviation machine guns of 7.7 mm caliber on the planes were also frantically spitting flames, and the positions of the air defense battalions were completely caught in a sea of fire.
Rumble!
An aerial bomb exploded next to a group of antiaircraft guns, and in an instant two groups of antiaircraft guns and eight machine guns were destroyed at the same time, and the fighters of more than 40 air defense battalions were also blown to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
But in the same way, the stubborn counterattack of the air defense battalion also caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese army.
"Da Da Da!"
A machine gun is chasing a Japanese bomber. The tracer bullet in the air, pulling out a white trail. The Japanese bombers, while constantly changing directions, did not forget to drop bombs.
However, the devil's plane could not escape the pursuit of the anti-aircraft machine guns, and the long bullet chain fired by the machine gun was like a horse whip caught in the hands of the machine gun shooter, and the bullet chain chased the devil's plane wherever it flew.
Dangdang! A series of bullets hit the tail of the Japanese bomber, directly knocking the tail out of a fist-sized hole. The devil's bomber suddenly lost its balance and planted straight to the ground.
With a bang, the pilot made an emergency parachute jump, and the level of the little devil pilot parachuting was not bad, and his luck was good, and he successfully parachuted right before the plane exploded.
However, the little devil pilot didn't have time to rejoice, countless machine gun bullets passed through his body, and in an instant, only a pile of minced meat hung on the parachute.
The air-ground battle continued, and from time to time there would be a violent explosion in the sky or underground, which meant that either a devil's plane was shot down, or the anti-aircraft guns or machine guns of the air defense battalion were destroyed.
