No matter how good the anti-aircraft artillery is, it lacks a unified and coordinated command, and it is similar to the burning stick on the heel of Lady Luck. During World War II, the Americans relied on their powerful communication capabilities to build a coordinated command system, and the proximity fuse made his 127mm shipboard high-level dual-purpose gun more prestigious.

However, the 88 anti-aircraft guns of the Germans achieved prestige in fighting tanks. As for the anti-aircraft artillery fighting planes, they did not have a very outstanding record.

Meng Xiang heard the prestige of the German 88-mm anti-aircraft gun many times in later generations, so he chose this 88-mm anti-aircraft gun at the beginning, because at the beginning, he was greedy for cheap use of the FLAK18 type, and the biggest disadvantage of this 88-mm anti-aircraft gun is that the body barrel life is short, only 900 rounds, and it is time-consuming and laborious to replace the body tube.

Later, it was changed to the FLAK36 with a double-barrel structure developed in 36. In the end, the life of the body tube reached 10,000 rounds. Moreover, the inner barrel is also divided into two or three sections, and only the most worn barrel needs to be replaced. This concept once made Meng Xiang admire the shrewdness of the Germans. But in the face of the data of proximity fuses, these are somewhat outdated.

Although the 88 anti-aircraft gun was somewhat outdated in the middle and late stages of World War II, it is now definitely the most advanced anti-aircraft artillery weapon, and with the 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun, under the unified command of the communication equipment distributed to each gun by the vanguard army, it is enough to deal with the devil's aircraft.

When the devil planes came here, the German 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, which were the most deployed, directly bombed down a 96 land attack, and the four US 127 shipborne air defense high-level dual-purpose guns that tested the surname were also bombed down with the help of the close-up lead.

The anti-aircraft artillery of this era was also not like the anti-aircraft artillery of later generations, directly attacking enemy aircraft with fast shells, but blocking them with barrages of shells and shrapnel. It's not so much a shell hitting a plane as an airplane hitting a shell. The attack rate is already very low, and there is more of an element of luck.

It was precisely because of some luck that the 88-mm gun made a new contribution, bombing down a huge 96 land attack. But after all, there are some differences in so many types of anti-aircraft artillery, and relevant data such as coordinates and angles need to be determined according to different anti-aircraft guns, which cannot be solved in a while, and under the unified command, it is very difficult to be accurate.

In the whole attack, only these three are recorded for the time being.

Gu Liang Shouzo piloted the Type 96 shipburst, and cooperated with his companions to pass through the high-altitude fire eye of the air defense network, and pounced on the largest shore artillery fortification below.

At this time, the 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun, which was responsible for the intermediate distance, began to wield. The twin and quadruple breathed fire together, and in the small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery, no one was invincible. A 96 ship exploded and fell with black smoke in tow, and when the pilot drove the plane to the shore artillery fortifications, it was blown up by 40 antiaircraft guns.

Hora Shozo took the opportunity to cross the threshold of death, rushed to the bottom, and threw out the 250-kilogram bomb he carried under the staggered 20-millimeter Swiss Erley anti-aircraft artillery shells flying in the sky. The dive-bombing function of the Type 96 shipburst and the accuracy of the bomb delivery that Gu Liangshou had trained in 38 years allowed the bomb to fall directly on the shore gun fortifications, dragging the damaged tail, and Gu Liangshousan struggled to pull up the nose of the plane and rush upward. A cloud of smoke erupted behind him.

After stabilizing the plane's flight, he looked back at the fortification, only to see that the 380-mm naval guns there were spewing a ball of fire in the direction of the sea. The top of the fortifications did not seem to be much damaged, except for a spot where it was pitch black.

"How thick are its fortifications?" Gu Liangshousan was stunned, and a 133-mm high-level dual-purpose naval gun exploded in front of the plane. A whirling piece of shrapnel pierced the porthole of the plane, cut the throat of Kora Shouzo, blood sprayed out under high pressure in the body, splashed all over the cabin, and the runaway plane immediately spiraled down, and was hit by the shrapnel of the 88 gun in the middle of the way, and the fuel tank was scattered into a ball of fireworks in the air.

Gu Liang Shouzo did not know until his death that the thickness of that fortification was already three meters, and such thick armor was far from being penetrated by an ordinary bomb of 250 kilograms.

There are no mountains and hills in the Shouguang area, a plain depression, and the range of shore artillery here is poor, so Meng Xiang can only increase the thick armor and lean forward as much as possible. Sure enough, the devil's plane was helpless. Even the 203-mm shells of the Devil battleship are not a big problem for it.

The anti-aircraft artillery on the ground was still roaring, and another 96 land attack was knocked out in the sky, but another land attack dropped a 500-kilogram bomb and threw it on the top of a 280-mm shore gun about 2 meters thick, and a wide crack was blown on it, and the 280 shore gun also stopped.

Before the clumsy body of the 96 land attack could get up, the muzzles of the three quadruple 40-mm anti-aircraft guns were aimed at it. A 127-mm high-level cannon next to it also joined the attack, directly disintegrating the Type 96 land attack in the air.

All four land attacks were completed, and three of the four ships were destroyed. Only the 96 fighter has been shot down so far only by virtue of its flexible surname.

When the remaining shipburst bombarded again and was shattered by the anti-aircraft guns, the remaining six attackers were ordered to retreat. They can't deal with these thickly armored fortifications, so they might as well evacuate temporarily. Not only did the anti-aircraft artillery continue to roar, but the dozen or so large-caliber shore guns have also not stopped. Although the reconnaissance aircraft in the sky were dispersed, a clear position was shown on the radar.

The devil's fleet also happened to be on the edge of the base 100 kilometers directly under the central government, and Hu Yi, who was standing next to Meng Xiang, constantly transmitted the relevant coordinate deviation information on the big screen, guiding the shore artillery to accurately land near the devil's battleship.

The Izumo had sunk to the bottom of the sea, but because the water was shallow, there were still masts and antennas outcropping.

In order to prevent the vanguard from salvaging it, Shiozawa Koichi had already ordered the Myoko to replenish another torpedo on the Izumo, which was completely crippled.

The Ashigara, which had been hit by two shells, had already withdrawn from the battlefield and pushed to the rear. In its place was the light cruiser Tenryu, which fell behind.

The Tenryu is the first light patrol ship after the First World War, and it can be regarded as the originator of the modern light cruiser. Many of its designs influenced the construction of the light cruisers behind it. But at this moment, nothing works. Its broadside and deck armor was only 25 mm thick, and the armor of the conning tower was only 51 mm thick, and it was easily torn apart like a piece of tissue paper in the face of large-caliber shore gun bombardment.

Surface ships are generally hit by a few guns of its own main gun, and as long as they do not hit the vital point, they are generally more disabled, and they can survive if they persist. However, the Tianlong light patrol was only more than 3,000 tons, and it was faced with shore guns modified from large-caliber naval guns of more than 200 mm caliber.

It had no luck with the Ashigaku, and it also received two shots, but one of them was a 380-mm shell.

When the 380 mm cannonball fell from the sky with a roar, the devils on the Tianlong were praying, but it seemed that their aunt was expelled by the protector of Huaxia, and there was nothing they could do about their begging, the 380 mm cannonball happened to fall on the bow of the Tianlong, tearing open the deck all the way to the bottom of the Tianlong, and the explosion made the hole even bigger all of a sudden, and the sea water immediately poured up.

The surviving devils on the Tenryu grabbed the fixed things around one after another, waiting for rescue. The water here is shallow, and the sunken ships will not sweep them all to the bottom of the sea, and they may survive the period ahead. According to the speed at which the Tenryu sank, it was impossible to escape by diving.

"That's enough money!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.

Due to the rapid attack of the devils, the shipyard in Shouguang had no time to recycle it, so it could only watch it take a few shots from the devils. Thanks to the base's camouflage function, which allows you to turn it into a dilapidated makeshift house, the devils lose interest in attacking once the vanguard counterattack begins. However, the damage rate of the shipyard that received 5 rounds of 203 shells was nearly half, and it took another million to repair it.

Just as the devil's plane was evacuating, the roar of the plane's engine was heard in the sky. The planes of the Vanguard Army arrived.

In fact, there are three airports in Qidu, and planes can arrive quickly. But before, many pilots had been discussing whether they would stay or not.

With Meng Xiang in a coma, Lao Jiang had secretly instructed those pilots of the former Central Army to return to participate in the battle to defend Zhengzhou. It would be better if I could fly the plane back, the price was opened, and there could be 300,000 oceans, which was 50,000 yuan higher than the 250,000 yuan of the pilots who defected to Guangzhou back then.

When a pilot named Feng Lingtang piloted the BF-108B and was about to throw it while he was training, he was discovered by the radar station and chased after Feng Ba and forced him back.

The incident of this pilot caused a wave among the more than 70 pilots who came out of the Central Army or the Central Military Aviation Academy. As a result, the pilots got together and openly discussed whether they would stay or not.

The vanguard's refusal to obey orders has been consciously exaggerated and publicized in the major newspapers. The Vanguard has now become a warlord army. Under the vigorous promotion of the central government, he especially grasped the non-stop central orders, only cared about preserving himself, arrogant and domineering, etc., and the description was almost worse than the original Han Fuyu.

The newspapers and radio stations controlled by the vanguard army refuted it-for-tat, highlighting Meng Xiang's coma and the sinister situation around the SAR, and incidentally stabbing back at the rout of the Central Army.

The strength of the vanguard army is not only a headache for the devil, but also a headache for Lao Jiang. With the introduction of many preferential measures for the Pioneer Army, soldiers and lower-ranking officers began to yearn for the Pioneer Army. During the Battle of Xuzhou, a large number of soldiers became deserters and rejoined the Pioneer Army, which made the ranks of the Pioneer Army increase by more than 30,000 people at once.

At this time, Lao Jiang had to regard the vanguard army as the third henchman. The vanguard army, which had gained a firm foothold in Shandong, had become even more threatening than the Gui system. Although he did not form an idea that the common people embraced, he was just a powerful warlord built with money and strength, but that strength had allowed him to shake the foundation of the Central Army.

Just when he was relieved and a little worried when he heard the results of the vanguard army, Meng Xiang's assassination gave him a good opportunity. Especially when I heard that Meng Xiang was unconscious, it seemed that the fruit was ripe all of a sudden.

Under unknown circumstances, Lao Chiang first extended his hand to the most noticeable flying team of the vanguard army. There are many pilots with the nameplates of the Central Army, and as long as they operate for a while, the collective defection of the equally powerful Guangzhou Flying Team is a good precedent.

But the result was not what he expected, and the pilots chose to wait. Waiting for Meng Xiang's awakening, and not jumping to conclusions easily, until Feng Lingtang's incident happened.

Lao Chiang's instructions were already clear, and it also made those pilots face a new choice.

Do you choose to return to the Central Army, or stay in the Vanguard?

Although the Central Army and the Vanguard Army have not yet torn their faces, they are already choosing to take sides at this time.

"The Zhengzhou crisis needs our support, and we should obey the instructions of the central government." Chen Xuankong said loudly, "Where we are needed, we will go!" He said it impassionedly, and someone immediately responded and stood up.

"We're leaving, what about the sky in the SAR?" Chen Rui asked rhetorically.

"There are 500,000 central troops in Zhengzhou, and if they can't hold it by relying on natural dangers, then the central army is too incompetent." Huang said. With the victory of the vanguard army and the devil step by step, he unconsciously felt more proud. Many people refer to the Vanguard Army and the Central Army separately.

"I'm not going back, I was exchanged for a plane, and now I'm a member of the 54th Army's air force. I only obey the orders of the commander! Liang Tiancheng directly expressed his opinion. Their commander, Feng Yi, Feng San, and the others did not express their position, and continued to arrange the training of new students step by step.

Before Meng Xiang was assassinated, each pilot of the flight team had an additional task around him, requiring each person to lead two novices to master the flying skills as soon as possible. These newcomers have preliminarily mastered some flight basics, but they are still rookies, and they don't have much practical ability, so they need to teach some air combat skills by hand.

It naturally doesn't matter if Liang Tiancheng and others are overseas Chinese, but the families of some pilots are still in the Kuomintang region, so they need to think carefully, and they can't just leave.

Li Guidan just bowed his head silently at this time, and only listened to the discussion of others. At that time, considering that Shandong was likely to fall, his family was not picked up in Yucheng, but now he needs to face a choice.
