Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Broken Wings of the Bloody Lonely City

Captain Hase's mood at this moment was extremely depressed, this was the sixth time in the past two days that he and his comrades had flown to this hateful county town. However, each time, because of the thick smoke or fog that obscured the sky, the battle plan was a failure, and even if a few bombs were barely dropped, the effect was unknown.

Today, after receiving the order from the headquarters to attack, he and his comrades-in-arms immediately boarded the plane and flew again to this county town of China, which is located at 112 degrees east longitude and 38 degrees north latitude.

As usual, there was still thick smoke billowing here, and the entire county was shrouded in smoke, and it was impossible to see the county town under the smoke at the flight altitude of the Type 96 fighter.

Captain Hasei thought that this time the plane would still circle around the county seat like the previous times, and then symbolically drop a few bombs, and then return to Zhangjiakou Airport, knowing that they had already done the same thing five times, and it was reasonable to do it again.

But soon the voice of the commander Matsushita Daisa came from the communicator: "All the fighters immediately lowered their altitude and carried out ultra-low-altitude dive bombing through the smoke. ”

"First Air Squadron received!"

"Second Air Squadron received!"

"The 3rd Air Squadron received!"

"The 4th Air Squadron received!"

Although the Imperial Japanese Army did not have an independent air force, the Imperial Air Force, which had a history of nearly ten years, was still the most powerful in Asia. Although there is a certain risk in flying at ultra-low altitude, after all, if you fly at ultra-low altitude, the light machine guns of the Chinese army may pose a threat to the fighters.

The loud sound of the aircraft engine made the soldiers of the 222nd Division Guard Regiment and the Air Defense Regiment very nervous, after all, the big guy of the plane was still very new to them, including the soldiers of the Air Defense Regiment were not confident in killing these 'big birds'.

"The little devil's plane is about to come down, let the brethren of the air defense regiment get ready!" Chen Feng personally made a phone call to the head of the air defense regiment, Victor.

According to the opinions of Yang Yi and Yeherina and others, since the anti-aircraft machine guns equipped by the air defense regiment have the ability to destroy these Japanese planes at high altitudes, then they should extinguish the smoke and directly knock out these bastards.

However, Chen Feng thought that although this could shoot down some planes, it reminded more Japanese planes that they could not completely annihilate this little devil's air force. Therefore, the troops should endure until those dog-day selves themselves can't help but fly down, and when the time comes, hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns will fire together, and with the excellent performance of the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun, it will not be like playing with the Japanese planes that are half a century behind them.

This is like a man on the prairie boiling an eagle, if one side can't bear it first, then the failure belongs to which side. Of course, for the 222nd Division, there is no such thing as failure or failure, it is just a matter of the size of the results.

Viktor was a Tsarist Russian, a staff officer and a graduate of the Royal Military Academy of Tsarist Russia. After the overthrow of Tsarist rule, Viktor followed Yehelina's father to the East, where he became a professional bandit from a regular soldier.

Victor is willing to do this for the rest of his life, dying in a foreign land as an inglorious bandit. But he didn't expect that he would one day become a regular army, and he was also a middle-level commander in the regular army of the Chinese government.

During his tenure in Tsarist Russia, Viktor served as Chief of Staff of the Royal Cavalry Division and also participated in World War I. Compared to seeing him, he thought he was much stronger than most of the officers of the 222nd Division, but since he was absorbed by Chen Feng, he has not understood the Chinese who is the commander of the uncle.

Regardless of how he behaved, the old Tsarist military officer was surprised by the endless new weapons and equipment, especially after serving as the head of the air defense regiment, he was surprised to find that his air defense regiment was using an anti-aircraft machine gun that he had never seen before, especially after seeing the great power of the twin anti-aircraft machine guns, Victor's heart set off a storm.

"Order, the whole regiment immediately enters the combat state, remove all camouflage, load the bullets, and prepare for battle according to the original plan!" It has been more than ten years since he came to China, and Viktor is not only fluent in Chinese, but also fluent in Mongolian, so although he is a Tsarist Russian, it is not difficult to command these Chinese soldiers at all.

"Yes"

As Victor's orders were conveyed step by step, many semi-enclosed bunkers and huge camouflage nets in Xinghe County were quickly removed, revealing the muzzles of the black holes below.

The Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun was divided into two types: single and double, and in view of the lack of anti-aircraft artillery in the troops, Chen Feng ordered the arsenal to produce these two types of anti-aircraft machine guns in a ratio of 1:2. So far, with the full production of the arsenal, the production of Type 75 anti-aircraft machine guns has stabilized at a daily output of 50 single and 20 twin anti-aircraft machine guns. This output alone is already considerable, and it must be known that even the Taiyuan Arsenal, the largest arsenal in North China, has a machine gun output far from reaching the output of anti-aircraft machine guns at the Daqingshan base.

The three battalions of Victor's air defense regiment were equipped with a total of 115 antiaircraft machine guns, and according to the pre-war deployment, the three antiaircraft battalions of the air defense regiment were deployed in a regular triangle with the city defense headquarters as the center.

Compared with other units, the air defense regiment is a new branch of the 222nd Division, which has been formed for no more than ten days, and the training time is even shorter.

The huge air currents emitted by the propellers of the "buzzing" planes blew the thick smoke over the city in all directions, and while the soldiers of the air defense regiment were waiting excitedly and nervously, one after another Japanese planes swooped down through the clouds and through the smoke.

Before Victor could give the order, the nervous machine gunners opened fire. Unlike the light and heavy machine guns, the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun emits a 'bang-bang' sound, which is somewhat similar to a mortar, but much lighter than a mortar.

Seeing that someone was firing, more than a hundred anti-aircraft machine guns in the city quickly opened fire, which made Victor, who was about to give the order, look helpless, and secretly said that these recruits are all composed of more educated students, and there are many college students among them, but as far as the profession of warriors is concerned, they are still very tender, and after this battle, they have to train these guys well, and they can't even do the most basic orders and prohibitions, and what kind of elite can they talk about.

More than 30 Japanese planes just leaned out of the smoke and suffered a fatal blow, because there was training before the war, so although it was the first battle, the air defense regiment still fought very well, the first round of fire caused 11 Japanese planes to volley and disintegrate, and another 14 planes were damaged, and the remaining Japanese troops had to raise the fuselage to avoid the blow of the air defense regiment without seeing what was going on.

Takeo Matsushita, commander of the 1st Wing of the 3rd Brigade of the 5th Flying Division of the Army of the Japanese Army in North China, watched his subordinate fighters disintegrate one after another in the air, and more fighters swayed and flew out of the battlefield with black smoke, and his heart was inexplicably frightened.

He saw with his own eyes that the fighter plane of the first flight squadron leader Yamashita Shaoza was disintegrated in the air, but it was not an anti-aircraft gun that hit Yamashita Shaoza's plane, but it was more like a machine gun.

But he knows the power of the machine gun, not to mention the usual light machine guns and heavy machine guns, even anti-aircraft machine guns will not have such great power, what kind of weapon is the Chinese people use, and it can pose such a big threat to the sky warriors of the empire.

"Cancel the ultra-low-altitude flight order, freely drop bombs at a safe altitude, drop bombs, and drop all aerial bombs!" Matsushita Daisa roared frantically.

But Panasonic apparently underestimated the air defense regiment, or the performance of the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun. The altitude of 3000 meters is indeed a safe height for anti-aircraft machine guns of this era, but for the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun, even 5000 meters is still its attack range, and it is also an effective range with an extremely high hit rate.

Moreover, the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun is an anti-aircraft killer developed for jet planes that are more advanced than the old aircraft, and for the old-fashioned skinned aircraft of the Japanese army, it is better to hit the wooden shield with a heavy machine gun, and the effect is self-evident.

When the Japanese plane was about to dive, Victor ordered the troops responsible for the smoke to extinguish the smoke immediately, so when Panasonic was about to drop the bomb at a safe height, the smoke over Xinghe County had become very thin and light.

"Bang Bang Bang"

More than 100 anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the crossfire formed a line of death in the sky over Xinghe, and the only remaining 11 Japanese fighters were quickly shot down at what they thought were safe altitudes, so that the 222nd Division Air Defense Regiment completed its debut, with 82 casualties and the loss of 2 anti-aircraft machine guns, all annihilated a company of the Japanese air force that came to the attack, 37 Japanese planes except for three barely returned to Zhangjiakou Airport, 34 were shot down, of which 22 were shot down on the spot, The remaining 12 were injured and crashed on their way home.
