Chapter 58, Counterattack on the Ground
"Pick up the air defense department and order them to immediately go to the artillery position, and bring all the anti-aircraft weapons with them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Zhang Jingren ordered to the Ministry of Air Defense.
"Yes!" The Ministry of Air Defense didn't know what it was for, but it could roughly guess it.
"Yu Lin, let me tell you, your task is to be optimistic about the artillery position, and absolutely not allow any Japanese plane to break through the defense line and cause damage to the artillery position, otherwise you are the only one who asks." Zhang Jingren said in a serious tone on the phone.
"Yes, I will never let any plane break through, or I will come to see you." Yu Lin replied loudly.
"If there's a loss, you won't have to see me." Zhang Jingren said.
Yu Lin on the other end was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and immediately assured. Although he made a verbal promise, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
After hanging up, Yu Lin immediately beckoned the men and horses of the Air Defense Department and rushed to the artillery position to set up defenses.
The Air Defense Department was established during the Brisbane Defensive War, mainly to deal with Japanese aircraft, and the Air Defense Department was to organize the air defense companies of various divisions into unified command, which also led to the fact that the entire Air Defense Department did not have many air guns, only air defense machine guns, and the dozen or so 88 air guns were transported later.
In terms of air defense, the 14.5mm machine gun is completely inferior to the 88 gun equipped with a proximity fuse, even the number is not enough to compensate for this quality, and this Brisbane is so big, no amount can prevent it.
The Ministry of Air Defense moved all the anti-aircraft weapons to the artillery positions, and there were originally hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns, but in the battle, some were destroyed by Japanese aircraft, and there was a considerable number of surpluses.
The artillery positions, which had been pulled into the house for fear of being bombed during the day, were now all pulled out and deployed on the artillery positions.
And the Air Defense Department, where all the anti-aircraft weapons are deployed around the perimeter of the artillery positions, is densely packed and everywhere layer after layer.
The artillery positions, after being deployed, raised their muzzles, ready to fire at any time.
At this time, the troops at the front received a notification that the artillery had been erected and that they could request an artillery strike from the artillery unit at any time.
Hearing this news, the officers and men of the front-line troops were suddenly overjoyed, although it was also a little strange that they would still be on the plane tomorrow, and firing the artillery at this time would not expose the artillery and attract bombing by Japanese planes.
Doubts are doubts, but since the artillery can be fired, then they are not polite, and immediately call the artillery, report the coordinates with ease, and cover the attack on the Japanese army.
Under the cover of the planes, the Japanese army marched forward and recaptured the position lost last night, but they did not have any joy in their hearts, on this position, they had already robbed back and forth three or four times, and they really didn't want to grab it again, but there was an order from above, and it would not work if they didn't grab it.
The Japanese army maintained a posture of restarting, and just after taking this position, it instantly attracted an overwhelming artillery attack, and the explosion enveloped the entire position, and the Japanese troops who rushed into the position can only be said to be more auspicious, and perhaps none of them survived.
The Japanese troops in the back were frightened by the sudden artillery strike, this script is not right, doesn't it say that Zhi Na did not dare to fire during the day? So where did this shell come from?
This was not the only place covered by artillery fire, all the positions occupied by the Japanese army were washed by artillery fire, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, and it was impossible to put them together at all.
The Japanese pilots in the planes in the sky also saw the abnormality on the ground, after all, it was difficult for them not to find out about such a violent explosion and so many explosion points.
Through his eyes, the pilot captures the faint trajectory of the shell and looks for the position of the artillery.
Taking advantage of the height, they soon found that the artillery position was spewing flames, and one shell after another was sent away, and the tongue of fire spewed out from the muzzle of the cannon was very eye-catching.
"There it is!" The Japanese shared the position of the artillery positions by radio and then all rushed there.
On the ground, the Ministry of Air Defense, and the fighters looked at the planes that swooped down from the sky, like a large flock of sparrows, densely packed, and their palms were sweating when they saw it.
The closer the Japanese planes got closer, the greater the pressure on them, especially the artillerymen, after all, they were the target of the Japanese army.
"Fire!" When the Japanese planes were still 1 kilometer away from their outermost air defense group, Yu Lin immediately ordered to open fire.
In an instant, tracer bullets dragged conspicuous ballistic trajectories and shot towards the Japanese planes.
Intensive fire, at that time, blocked the sky over the artillery position. Some Japanese planes were flareted into torches by the anti-aircraft machine guns that suddenly opened fire, or they disintegrated in the air, and they were caught off guard by such a sneak attack, and 13 Japanese planes were beaten down, and the Japanese troops behind were so frightened that they hurriedly pulled up the nose of the plane.
The quadruple anti-aircraft machine gun has a firing height of 4,000 meters, and no matter how high the Japanese army pulls it, it is only below 5,000 meters, and more than 5,000 meters has a great load on their team's aircraft, and they do not wear warm clothes, the plane does not have oxygen supply equipment, the cabin is open, and it flies so high, unless you want to freeze to death, even if you don't freeze to death, you will die because of lack of oxygen. So the Japanese will fly only at an altitude of two to three thousand meters.
There are only two kinds of Japanese planes here, fighters and light explosive aircraft, not to mention fighters, light explosive aircraft are light bombers and dive bombers.
In terms of carrying ammunition, fighters can generally hang two 50kg bombs, while light explosive aircraft can carry six 100kg bombs or one 500kg bomb.
When they could not reduce the altitude of accurate bombing, the Japanese pilots could only choose high-altitude bombing, dropping bombs at an altitude of two or three thousand meters, so that the accuracy was outrageously low, and they had never learned high-altitude bombing at all, so they could only throw them on their own senses.
On an anti-aircraft position, more than a dozen 88 anti-aircraft guns were there, and the ammunition racks were already loaded with shells, waiting for the opportunity to fire at the Japanese.
Although the 88 gun has a range of 10,000 meters, it is too high to hit.
"Tom Tom Tom~" When the Japanese planes flew over here, the 88 guns on the empty artillery positions were released and fired vigorously at the Japanese planes, with an average of one shot every three seconds.
The fast rate of fire, coupled with the proximity fuse, the shrapnel of the explosion, flying in the air, the damage to the Japanese planes is not small, some unlucky Japanese soldiers were directly killed by shrapnel, or the engine was broken, this is the power of the air cannon, usually rely on shrapnel to kill, rarely directly hit, once directly hit by the 88 gun, then needless to say, it will be directly killed, the kind of corpse that has no bones.
With the addition of the 88 air cannon, it brought a lot of pressure to the Japanese pilots in the sky, they thought that the operators below were too powerful, the fuses were cut extremely accurately, and every round was turned next to the plane. (To be continued.) )
