Chapter 703: Enemy planes are coming
At this time, Qiao Youhua was looking at the map in a residential house where the original devil was used as a command room in Cheng'an Town, thinking about the actions of the troops, and seeing if there were any loopholes that needed to be supplemented and changed.
The roar of the devil fighter engine suddenly came, Qiao Youhua couldn't help but look up at the window, and after a while, a captain of the guard battalion and the company commander ran in in a hurry, and saluted Qiao Youhua: "Commander, it's not good, there are enemy planes coming." ”
Qiao Youhua said: "Don't panic, tell the brothers who stayed behind, all pay attention to concealment, the machine gunner is ready for me, once the enemy plane flies at low altitude, use the MG34 general machine gun to greet me fiercely!" ”
"Yes." The captain and company commander responded, but did not leave immediately, but said to Qiao Youhua: "Commander, will it be unsafe here, or will you move to a safe place?" ”
Qiao Youhua waved his hand and said: "No, since the devil's fighter plane is coming, it must know the news that Cheng'an Town has fallen into our hands, and the entire town will become the target of their air raids, and it will be the same everywhere."
It's even more undesirable to go out of town, it will only be a live target for the devil's fighter jet! Go ahead, I'll pay attention to safety myself, in fact, the air raid is not so terrible, listening to the sound of the engine is not too dense, there should not be many planes coming from the devil.
It should be more of a symbolic bombing and strafing to retaliate against us and vent the evil anger of being defeated by us. ”
"Yes, I understand." When Qiao Youhua said this, the captain's tense mood was greatly relieved at once, and he was no longer as panicked as he was just now, and he left happily.
Outside, more than a dozen Japanese fighters and reconnaissance planes had already begun to carry out air raids and strafing on Cheng'an Town; because they were not bombers, the fighters of this era were not multi-purpose, and they were not equipped with radar infrared and other aiming and search equipment.
Therefore, in order to discover the ground targets in Cheng'an Town and carry out accurate air raid strafing, the devil's pilots had to reduce their flight altitude and dive towards Cheng'an Town in groups of three or five.
And on the ground, although Qiao Youhua's order had not yet been conveyed to every soldier who stayed behind, but hearing the rumble of the devil's aircraft engine, some of the soldiers who were originally patrolling around the town and standing guard one after another hid nearby.
The people in the town had long since fled ten rooms and nine empty when the Japanese puppet army invaded and built the Shahe defense line, and today, the town has long been empty, so the soldiers of the guard battalion do not have to worry about the safety of the people.
The first three Japanese fighters were the first to dive, but one of the leading devil pilots was a little annoyed, he and the two wingmen took the lead, and found no traces of personnel or valuable air targets.
The whole town, in the brief moment they swooped over, seemed empty.
He immediately radioed such a situation, and then said: "Cheng'an Town has just fallen into the hands of the Chinese army, it is impossible for this place to be really empty, they must have discovered us in advance, so they hid, if only the bombers could come here, whether he has anyone or not, a direct saturation bombing will definitely kill the Chinese soldiers hiding in the town!" ”
Immediately, another senior pilot of the Japanese army said: "Colleagues, no matter what, we can't just give up, just as the No. 1 plane said, there must be a Zhina army hiding in the town of Cheng'an below, and I will directly carry out dive strafing on the buildings in the town."
Maybe they can inflict some casualties on them, and then, after the bomber detachment has completed the task of bombing the Shahe Bridge, they will return to Baoding Airport together. ”
The construction of this veteran pilot of the devil was immediately approved by the other devil pilots, and they flew in groups of three and dived and strafed Cheng'an Town from all directions.
......Tom For a while, one after another, a straight machine gun fired one after another, and the hot and dazzling tongues of fire pierced the air like meteors and shot towards the residential buildings in Cheng'an Town.
Bang bang...... A large amount of bullets poured down vertically and horizontally, and suddenly shattered the bricks and tiles of some buildings in the town, filling the air with dust and smoke.
Some devil pilots, in order to maximize the damage caused to the buildings below, carried out more precise strikes, and successively reduced the altitude of the dive flight.
Some are even less than 1,200 meters away from the ground in Cheng'an Town, flying at ultra-low altitudes, you know, the planes of this era are not like later generations, there are a series of high-tech auxiliary means such as computer radar, and even the flight altitude can be accurately controlled by the computer.
Under the condition that there is completely pilot control, the altitude of 100 meters is already very low, and this also verifies the excellent flight technology and ability of the land-based aviation unit of the Japanese army invading China on the one hand.
Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, there were still quite a lot of elite pilots of the devils, and the overall strength and suzhì were also quite outstanding.
Under the audacity of the artist, the flight speed is not much weakened, and the flight altitude is lower than the other, but no matter how superb the flying skills are, the pilot is afraid of an unprepared ambush.
Seeing that the planes of the devils were getting lower and lower, and even submachine guns and rifles could effectively hit them, the machine gunners in this company, who had already been ordered by Qiao Youhua, seized the opportunity one after another, aimed at the enemy planes that were whistling and swooping by, and opened fire fiercely.
As I said before, in order to enhance the combat power of the guard battalion, before leaving, Qiao Youhua greatly increased the proportion of general-purpose machine guns for the whole battalion, basically there are at least two in a squad.
The guard battalion is a reinforced battalion, and there are at least a dozen or twenty squads in a company, a strength of more than 200 people, and as many as 20 general-purpose machine guns.
More than 20 MG34 general-purpose machine guns suddenly opened fire, and in Cheng'an Town, which is not a big town, within such a range, the firepower density is still sufficient.
......A dense rain of bullets roared into the air, and on the spot, an unlucky Japanese fighter plane was hit by a burst of hot bullets, and the tail was lit up with thick smoke and fire.
After flying not far away, he staggered and fell headlong, with a loud bang, and fell to the ground and exploded, turning into a cloud of ruins, bringing up fire and smoke in the sky.
"Damn, there's a man hiding underneath!" A devil pilot was shocked, and hurriedly manipulated the fighter plane to hurriedly pull up.
The wireless walkie-talkie of his landline also heard the exclamations and angry scolding of other colleagues, who never imagined that the enemy would have such dense anti-aircraft firepower.
As more and more dragon tooth warriors began to shoot in the air, the devil fighter plane that was pulled up in a panic was soon hit again, this time it penetrated the fuel tank, directly igniting a monstrous fire, and within a moment, it spread rapidly in the air due to the fire and exploded in the air.
