Chapter 148, Bombing
In the rear of the Japanese army, in a forest, carefully camouflaged artillery positions were torn apart, revealing artillery with a caliber of at least 15 cm.
"Boom Boom Boom~"
There was a deafening roar from the artillery position, and the shells flew off the thick gun line.
The shell crossed the curve and landed not far from the side of a 59 and exploded, turning the dust into the sky, and the impact of the shell made the 59 move two meters horizontally and break the track. The occupants inside were stunned, and they didn't know why, and their brains were dizzy.
"Huh~woo~" A large wave of shells followed, and the 15cm shells fell into a crater of more than ten meters.
"Boom, boom~~" The successive explosions made this group of 59 panic, they really hadn't experienced such a scene, they panicked, driving 59 all over the field, and those who reacted immediately turned around and drove back.
"Boom!" A 59 was directly activated by a shell, and the explosion of the shell easily broke its head and poured it in.
More shells, exploding around 59, broke their tracks, and then stayed there entirely, or killed the crew.
Zhang Zhongliang was stupid, he had been faintly uneasy all the time, but he couldn't say it, and now it seems that this is what happened.
"Let's go!" The binoculars in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and he panicked, this can be said to be the first time he commanded a large-scale army in actual combat, and this happened suddenly, which made him a little panicked, but he quickly calmed down, and then shouted urgently: "Quick, let all the tanks come back, notify the artillery, immediately find the Japanese artillery positions, and blow them all up." ”
At this time, the 250th Division showed the power of communication, and in less than ten seconds, the message was sent, and the artillery drones immediately took off and followed the artillery line to find the Japanese artillery position.
After the initial panic, the crew of 59 received a notice, stabilized their minds, and immediately retreated.
The drone followed the artillery line and found the Japanese position, but at this time, the area had already been empty, leaving only a mess.
When I went, there were a hundred 59, and when I came back, only half of them were left, and half of Ning was all left there. The entire 250 Division had more than 300 59 tanks, and there were 50 fewer tanks at once, which made Zhang Zhongliang worry for a while. At the same time, he also secretly lamented the Japanese army's generosity, using hundreds of tanks as bait to lure 59 to fight with them. It is precisely because they know that 59 is powerful, these tanks will definitely be wiped out, so they have long let the large-caliber artillery prepare, and after the 59 is drawn deep enough, the firepower will be covered, and I have to sigh at the size of the Japanese army's handwriting, as well as the gambling mentality, are they not afraid that they will not let the tanks fight with them, but blow them up with artillery?
Zhang Zhongliang can be regarded as knowledgeable about the gambler's mentality of the Japanese army, but this matter has to be reported in the morning to see Lu Qiang's attitude.
When Lu Qiang got the telegram, he felt distressed for a while, but what he was distressed about was not the tank, after all, 50 59 tanks were nothing to him. And what he feels sorry for is the 200 tank crews, he is already short of people, and it is not happy to have one less, let alone 200 fewer at once, and it is also a technical branch.
"Fry me, don't they like to fry it? You blow them up, and if you can't kill them, you don't come back. Lu Qiang spoke directly to Zhang Zhongliang and said viciously, quite like a local tyrant.
Of course, Zhang Zhongliang understood Lu Qiang's words, and he listened to Lu Qiang's bold words at the beginning, if you can use an airplane, you don't need a gun, and if you can use a cannon, you will never use a gun, anyway, whatever is powerful.
The Japanese army's assembly area was in a Zhuangzi 10 kilometers away, and they were relatively scattered, so it seemed that they knew the strength of the artillery of the 41st Group Army and prevented it from being served in one pot.
The places where the Japanese troops were assembled were marked, and five of them were more assembled, so they were the main targets of shelling.
In addition to the 107 rocket launchers, guns above 100mm have erected barrels, and 10 km is within their range. Since the boss has spoken, if he doesn't blow up these guys who are dogs/days, then I'm too sorry for myself.
"Fire!" At the sound of an order, five or six hundred artillery pieces opened fire, and the momentum was earth-shattering. The shells crossed the arc and fell to the Japanese assembly area with a whistling sound, bursting into dazzling fireworks.
"Shelling of China, evasion." The small and medium-sized captains of the Japanese army roared, but in fact, they didn't need to shout, these Japanese soldiers were already looking for a place to hide themselves.
The shells roared and smashed to the ground, triggering the fuse, and then there was another big firework, and the makeshift tents were blown into rags and scattered in the sky, and the adobe houses fell apart, and the Japanese troops were blown away one by one.
A sea of fire! Under the dense explosion, there were almost no living people, and the land was turned over layer after layer, and soon the five assembly areas were deterred by artillery, and became a flat land with green smoke, and all the people and things on it were extinguished in the explosion, and perhaps the ruins that could still be seen showed that there were once people living here.
The 250th Division's sudden and fierce counterattack caught the Japanese army by surprise, but they quickly calmed down and immediately ordered to withdraw their troops back and retreat 10 kilometers to the Hengbu area, while the Japanese troops on the Yangtze River retreated south to Chizhou. Temporarily cede Anqing, hold these two points with all your might, and look for opportunities for the Japanese army to attack.
The Japanese army temporarily retreated, Zhang Zhongliang accepted it safely, and did not pursue, but developed in Anqing to stabilize Anqing.
At the same time, the B-45 is still flying in the sky, but it has already reached the sky above the target point, probably in the area of Nagasaki, but not the Nagasaki Island, after all, the island is small and easy to throw outside.
Their goal was to start dropping bombs from Nagasaki, passing through Saga, and eventually returning home in Fukuoka.
"Reach the target and prepare to drop the bomb." The captain of the B-45 No. 1 shouted in the public channel.
"Received by Unit 2."
"The third machine is ready."
"Machine Four can drop bombs at any time."
“…… The twentieth machine is ready. ”
The remaining nineteen aircraft responded.
"Start dropping bombs!" At the sound of an order, 20 B-45s opened the cabin, and one by one 100kg bombs were naked/exposed, and with gravity, one by one fell down one after another. In addition to aerial bombs, the airdropped was also mixed with some leaflets.
"Woo~~" The scream became more and more miserable as the bomb fell.
Today, it's a nice day in Japan, there are no clouds in the sky, the sun is not big, and the light wind blows cool and makes people drowsy.
Some elderly people and disabled Japanese soldiers were basking in the sun in this weather, so uncomfortable. Suddenly, there was a whining scream in the sky, which suddenly startled these retired Japanese soldiers, thinking that there were aerial bombs, but then they thought, this is Japan, how could the fruit army come here to throw bombs, it is estimated that it is a drill, but what kind of exercise is being carried out at this time?
These veterans were puzzled, but before they could figure out the reason, the first bomb had already landed, and the trigger fuse was activated instantly when it collided with the ground, and then exploded with a "boom".
"Yaga, enemy attack!" Some veterans saw the fire and smoke rising in the distance, heard the explosion, felt the shaking of the ground, and were immediately shocked...... Moreover, there are many more in the sky.
"Run! Shina called. Some Japanese who did not know the truth screamed in panic and scurried around.
"Woo woo woo ~ boom boom boom ~~~" The overwhelming aerial bombs were scattered, there was no target, it was like splashing water, I didn't care about the accuracy, I didn't care where it was blown up, I only cared about bombing on Japanese soil from time to time.
"Ah~~~" The Japanese, who had not experienced such a scene at all, panicked, and the women and children screamed and ran around.
The grim air defense sirens have finally sounded on the Japanese mainland, and the anti-aircraft machine guns that have been used to strengthen the Japanese mainland have finally had a chance to raise their heads. But the chances were too big for them. Moreover, anti-aircraft weapons are useless, because the B-45 is at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the Japanese army cannot hit it by any means.
In a panic, they took off the 95 and 97 fighter carrier-based planes, and finally flew to an altitude of more than 4,000 meters.
Several pilots drove the plane to an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, and because of the lack of oxygen in the atmosphere, they suffered altitude sickness, and then fell straight down. At this moment, the other planes did not dare to get on the plane, and before they got close to the other party, they lost several of their own planes, and this battle could not be fought.
The bomb fell on the rice field, and a large area of rice that had been tasseled was instantly wiped out, and a large area of rice was blown up.
The bomb fell in the village, and the continuous wooden houses could not withstand the power of the 100kg bomb, like a wooden sampan in a storm, and it was instantly flattened.
Along Nagasaki, all the way to Saga, and then flew into Fukuoka in a corner, dropping a large number of aerial bombs along the way, 200 tons of aerial bombs were scattered on the land, destroying countless houses and farmland.
The B-45 cabin was full of bombs, and the whole plane was much lighter and taller.
"Homecoming!" After throwing the bombs, the planes immediately returned, and their fuel could only support them to return to Dawang Village, and they could not stay for a moment.
On the ground, the Japanese were still terrified after the bombing, and some people looked at the ruins and cried loudly.
In Kyoto, Japan, in the Emperor's palace, the report was presented to him.
Hirohito picked up the urgent telegram for some reason and looked at it carefully. A minute later, the quiet Hirohito suddenly became furious, pinched the telegram and slapped it on the table, and then ...... There was no sound. Because he knew that someone would come looking for him soon, how could no one come to him for such a big event.
Sure enough, before they could wait three minutes, a group of people came running in stride, all with angry faces mixed with a hint of sorrow, and they didn't know why.
