Qiao Youhua's face couldn't help but change, Guo Meng obviously heard the piercing roar, looked at Qiao Youhua and said, "Commander, it seems to be an enemy plane!" ”

Qiao Youhua immediately turned his head to Zheng Yunshan, the commander of the guard battalion on the side, and said, "Yunshan, the guard battalion is immediately dispatched to prepare for air defense!" ”

The reason why Qiao Youhua has not let the guard battalion participate in the offensive battle is just in case.

Zheng Yunshan hurriedly stepped forward and agreed and immediately took the order.

Soon, the soldiers of each company and platoon of the guard battalion received the order and quickly mobilized, and the guard battalion, as the first elite battalion of the dragon's tooth column, was equipped with no less MG34 general-purpose machine guns than one of the other main regiments.

This is also Qiao Youhua's special arrangement, in order to let the guard battalion have enough firepower in case of emergency.

Soon, Japanese fighters and bombers in the sky came out of the clouds one after another, heading straight for Shimen County, which was engaged in fierce fighting.

At the head was a Type 95 fighter plane, which swooped down from a high altitude in the north of the city, and the two airborne course machine guns suddenly opened fire, and the bullets fired were like two chains of fire, whipping towards the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of Longya who were attacking outside the north of the city.

Da Da Da ...... Puff puff...... Several dragon-tooth warriors who were climbing the city wall could not dodge, and were shot in the back, falling from the siege ladder one after another.

Other Japanese fighters also quickly dispersed and opened heavy fire on the ground and the head of the city, and the officers and men of the 3rd Regiment who were attacking the city suffered many casualties in an instant.

The fighters were followed by four Japanese bombers, which dropped bombs directly above the heads of the officers and men of the 3rd Regiment of Longya to carry out carpet bombing, and in an instant, the entire north and west of the city were covered in violent explosions and billowing smoke.

Wu Mingqi, the commander of the Third Regiment, who was directing the battle in the distance, was furious, snatched a general-purpose machine gun from the guard's hand and fired fiercely at a bomber in the air, and scolded angrily while strafing: "Little devil, I'm cǎo your grandma!" ”

Although the aircraft equipped by the Japanese army at this moment are very backward in all aspects of performance for European and American countries, and the speed is not fast, it is relatively speaking.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Japanese fighters and bombers completed the strafing bombing, flew directly over the whole city from the north of Shimen City, and came to the sky over the south of the city.

At this time, the main force of the 2nd Regiment had already entered the city from the south gate, and was fighting fiercely with the reinforcements of the 21st Division on the streets south of the city.

The group of Japanese fighters whistling over them had already spotted the anomaly in the city and was about to turn around and strike at them, when a dense burst of bullets suddenly came from the ground.

The dense bullets pierced countless holes in the thin defensive armor of the two Japanese fighters on the spot, and one of the devil pilots was even killed on the spot after being pierced through the seat by the bullet.

The Type 95 fighter he was piloting suddenly lost control, fell into the wilderness in the distance, plunged headlong into the field, exploded with a bang, and turned into a cloud of ruins!

Another fighter jet was hit in one of the fuel tanks, caught fire on the spot, and then exploded in mid-air and disintegrated into flames and debris in the firelight.

It turned out that the guard battalion led by Zheng Yunshan had just been deployed outside the south of the city, and the soldiers had built a dense anti-aircraft fire network with general-purpose machine guns, just to give a surprise blow to the Japanese fighters flying in.

Seeing this, the remaining devil fighters were shocked and accelerated to pull up and fly away, while the four medium bombers that followed were not so quick and agile.

It happened to be hit by the intensive anti-aircraft fire of the guard battalion, and the four bombers were all hit by the dense rain of bullets, and finally two of them lost control and crashed several kilometers away on the spot, and the planes were destroyed and killed.

The other two planes escaped by luck and returned in a hurry, one of them was in the airspace near Hengshui because of the damage to the airframe, unable to continue flying, and the pilot chose to make a forced landing and failed, and also ended up with a plane crash and death.

Only one fighter plane escaped back to Cangzhou Airport, of course, this is a later story.

After escaping from this dangerous area, the remaining seven or eight devil fighters circled high in the air for a few times, then formed a battle formation again and dived towards the area where the Dragon's Tooth Guard Battalion was located at high speed, intending to wipe them out and avenge their own destroyed fighters.

Moreover, the devil pilots believed that without destroying this air defense force, they would not be able to safely launch air strikes against other Chinese armies on the ground to support their own 21st Division.

"Brethren, the little devil's plane is here again, give them some color and see! All machine guns, fire them all! Zheng Yunshan personally set up an MG34 general-purpose machine gun and shouted at the top of his throat, and then took the lead in firing.

Dozens of MG34 general-purpose machine guns from the guard battalion opened fire, and metal feed chains filled with yellow-orange-orange bullets moved rapidly on both sides of the chamber with the tearing sound of the torn tarpaulin.

A large number of bullet casings were constantly ejected from the chamber of the gun, and a series of hot and dazzling tongues of fire were cross-fired into the air, forming a dense anti-aircraft fire network.

The Japanese fighters that were diving in the sky also opened fire, sending a large rain of bullets down.

The bullets were dense like raindrops for a while, and the two sides fired fiercely at each other, and a large number of bullets formed a criss-crossing tongue of fire, which looked as dazzling as a series of meteors flying back and forth.

It's just that wherever this tongue of fire goes, it turns into a rain of steel bullets that take people's lives.

Bang bang bang...... A rain of bullets poured in, and several of the dragon's tooth guards who were shooting had no time to dodge, and were hit one after another, and the bullets from the heading machine guns ruthlessly pierced their strong bodies, causing them to die heroically on the spot.

More bullets struck the ground beside them, sending up streak of smoke and dust.

As the distance between the two sides continued to approach, the casualties of the dragon tooth guards who insisted on firing on the ground began to gradually increase, and some people continued to fall down from guns, and some people were even shot several times.

However, their bravery was not without value, and soon, two more Japanese fighters were hit by their intensive anti-aircraft fire, one was pierced through the cockpit and killed the pilot, and the other was pierced through the fuel tank, and the former lost control and fell in free fall and blew up.

The latter ignited a raging fire with billowing smoke, flew far away, and also fell headlong, turning into a puddle of wreckage fragments!

Having lost four fighters in succession, the remaining devil pilots finally became timid, decisively stopped their dive strafing, quickly flipped to both sides and pulled up to dodge, and then chose to return and flee in disgrace.

Although the guard battalion suffered a lot of casualties, it achieved a fruitful record of destroying seven enemy planes.
