Chapter 59, Air Defense
The Japanese army did not know about proximity fuses, and there was no such thing as proximity fuses in this era, and the earliest proximity fuses were made by the United States, which was also obtained at the end of World War II. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After losing more than 30 planes, the Japanese troops could not bear such losses, so they flew high, threw bombs, and regardless of whether they were accurate or not, they immediately returned to the plane, away from this place of right and wrong.
Some of the bombs dropped by the Japanese army were 108,000 miles away and exploded without knowing where they fell, while others fell into the artillery positions with great accuracy and blew up several artillery pieces.
A Japanese soldier piloted a light explosive plane, as if to show his outstanding skills, shuttled through the rain of bullets, the pilot stared closely at the ground, his target was not an artillery position, but a dozen 88 anti-aircraft guns on the air defense position for them.
Under this light explosive machine, there were four more bombs, which means that he only threw two.
"Quick, stop that plane!" On the position of the 88 guns, Yu Lin was also here, and he also found the plane that was rushing towards them, and immediately asked people to fire at the plane.
"Tom Tom Tom~"
The 88mm shell hit the sky, and the pilot in the light explosive plane saw the 88 gun firing at him, and quickly pulled up the nose of the plane, and at the same time threw all four eggs under the belly of the plane.
Four 100kg bombs, drawing an arc, fell extremely quickly towards the 88 gun position on the ground, and soon the warhead touched the ground, and the trigger fuse was activated instantly.
"Boom, boom, boom!" There were four huge explosions, and the barrels of the 88 guns were blown into the sky one by one, and immediately after, the ammunition of the 88 guns exploded, and the explosion once again swept through this small air defense position.
The 88 artillery position was destroyed, the remaining dozen or so 88 guns were all gone, and they became scrap metal, and the artillery doors where the empty guns were fired were also killed, and Yu Lin was engulfed in flames at the moment of the explosion.
After throwing the bomb, the Japanese soldier looked at the 88-gun anti-aircraft position that was engulfed in fire below, and was very satisfied, driving the plane to pull up, completely ignoring the bullets flying around him, he was very confident in his piloting skills.
Suddenly, a string of bullets cut in from under the wing, and instantly pierced several holes in the wing, as the pilot of the plane, he felt a vibration of the plane at that time, and he didn't care, he continued to fly, doing various actions, dodging the flying bullets.
The bullet holes in the wings were torn bigger and bigger when he was doing strenuous exercise, and the Japanese planes were already thin and could not afford to hurt a little. The Japanese pilot, piloting, did not notice the wing problems in the slightest, and he was still complacent about the fact that he had just broken out of the blockade of the anti-aircraft machine guns. But suddenly, the plane shook violently, which made him panic.
The violent shaking of the landline for no reason made the pilot immediately look left and right, and then he saw that most of the wings on one side had been torn, and only a little was left attached to it.
"Jamaica falls !!" The pilot lost his voice suddenly, and the plane entered the spiral and fell to the ground. , let the Air Defense Department beat down a lot of planes, and in the same way, they lost a lot, not to mention anything else, the loss of 88 guns also made them a little unbearable, after all, there were only so many 88 guns in total.
"Yagayalu, this is a trap." Naval aviation immediately shouted, and then they all withdrew from here.
Seeing this, Lu Airlines could only scold, watching Hainan Airlines leave, and in the end there were only their planes left, quite helpless, and in the end they could only leave angrily.
Zhang Jingren watched the Japanese planes disperse, and when they returned, their numbers were much smaller, and through the telescope, he could see that some planes had several bullet holes.
Seeing the Japanese planes fly away, Zhang Jingren immediately asked the signal corpsmen to ask how the artillery position was, and he soon got a reply. He also did not expect the air defense department to be able to completely block the Japanese planes, as long as the losses did not exceed one-third, he was satisfied.
He was pleasantly surprised by the result, only twelve artillery pieces were lost, and if you want to compare hundreds of guns, such losses are very low.
"Tell Yu Lin that he did a very good job, and give him a credit this time." Zhang Jingren grinned, indicating that he was in a good mood now.
When the signal soldier heard this, he was silent. I was a little puzzled by the fact that the communications soldier suddenly did not speak like this. Patiently asked, "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”
In normal times, according to his character, he would have been scolded a long time ago, but now that he is in a good mood, he asked more.
"Yu Lin, the commander of the air defense force, sacrificed!"
"What?!" When Zhang Jingren heard this, he was shocked, "What's going on?" The communication soldier honestly handed over a telegram, which wrote the process of Yu Lin's sacrifice, Zhang Jingren was silent after reading it, and only looked at the sky outside the window for a long time, "I just said it, and I didn't let you really not come back." ”
Zhang Jingren regretted it a little, why did he say that.
"Commander, emergency!" Just when Zhang Jingren was looking at the sky, the adjutant came to disturb him, and when he heard the word anxious, he immediately adjusted his mentality.
"On the submarine side, they said that the Japanese aircraft carrier had been discovered." The adjutant said hurriedly.
"They found out that the Japanese aircraft carriers are their business, what does it have to do with us." Zhang Jingren's mind didn't turn, and he said casually.
After finishing speaking, his face changed, and he asked in disbelief, "You mean aircraft carriers?" ”
"That's right, it's an aircraft carrier, an aircraft carrier of the Japanese army." The adjutant nodded.
"Then what are you waiting for, their submarine is going to shoot it down." Zhang Jingren said anxiously.
"They are already preparing to hit aircraft carriers." The adjutant said.
"That's good." Zhang Jingren's face was full of excitement again.
The Japanese planes are a big trouble for him, usually the Japanese planes either come from the army aviation, or aircraft carriers, Brisbane here the Japanese planes, there are more on the board, a large number of planes fly from the coast every day, they can see clearly.
Once the Japanese aircraft carrier is destroyed, for Brisbane, the air pressure will be reduced by more than half, and they will no longer have to fight with the Japanese army, and they can directly counterattack.
At Lord Howe, ten submarines have surrounded Elizabeth Reef from different angles, but if they want to deal with those 11 carriers, they first need the outermost destroyers to patrol, these destroyers turn on the sonar and run back and forth on the sea, obviously aimed at their submarines.
But this can't bother them, after all, the sea area is so big, the Japanese army can't defend it all, there must be loopholes, they just need to enter through these loopholes.
The idea was good, but it was a bit difficult to implement, after all, the Japanese destroyers were not motionless, their positions were constantly changing, and there was no pattern, which made it difficult for them to do so. (To be continued.) )
