Chapter 4: The Bloody War (7)

Since the Jiangyin Fortress was heavily damaged by the air defense forces in World War I, Ouyang Yun had lost hope in suppressing the bombing of Japanese fighters with ground firepower. In that air-ground battle, the LK tank was the formed unit with the greatest losses, and the original brigade was formed, but after that war, there was only one battalion left, and according to the comparison of air-ground figures, one battalion of anti-aircraft tanks could cope with two fighters at most. It was with this harsh reality in mind that he simply scattered all the remaining anti-aircraft tanks and assigned them to various divisions, allowing them to act as armored vehicles. And once the anti-aircraft tanks, which can be quickly transferred, are lost, the weakness of the remaining air defense units, with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns as their main weapons, is revealed. The bombing targets of this wave of Japanese planes were obviously artillery and tank units, and although they did not carry special bombs, it was not impossible to inflict heavy losses on the tank units of the Cadet Corps by relying on their numerical superiority and as long as the pilots operated properly. Ouyang Yun took this reality into account, so the combat order given to the air defense regiment was just to let them try their best to attract the attention of the Japanese planes, as for whether they could shoot down the enemy planes, it depended on their character.

Jiang Haiyang's character is obviously good, and under his influence, the character of the entire air defense regiment has improved. Not long after he shot down the enemy plane, Captain Jiu came over in person.

Captain Jiu was obviously burned out by anger, and he didn't even communicate with the other two subordinates before turning the nose of the plane and rushing straight to the air defense position.

Just when Jiang Haiyang shot down an enemy plane and shouted and jumped excitedly, the others were not happy: "Old account, you kid is not kind!" It's just such an enemy plane, and you don't let everyone play, you can ...... alone" Before he finished speaking, someone shouted in surprise: "Another one is coming!" "Really, fight! Fight! "Almost everyone is re-entering the combat with a smile on their faces, and this scene is not like they are in a life-and-death struggle, but it is like they are fighting for some toy.

Xu Xin, the commander of the air defense regiment, saw the performance of his brothers around him, and he scolded with a smile: "These guys, this is a war!" But it's going to die! Having said that, he himself was more excited, after all, this was also the direct reason why Ouyang Yun only asked them to attract the attention of the Japanese planes as much as possible when he gave the task to the Air Defense Regiment of the Third Division.

In the sky above the tank group, the other two Japanese planes had also dropped their bombs, and Qian Guangming ordered the small phalanxes to disperse quickly because of the previous experience, which led to the bombing effect of the Japanese planes being much worse than the previous one, and in the end only one was blown up and three were damaged. After the two Japanese planes finished dropping bombs, they also began to use their cannons to dive into the tanks, and it was obvious that they would not leave the battlefield until the shells were finished.

Because one of the two Japanese planes in front of them was destroyed and one was injured, the attack of the two Japanese planes became much smarter, and the devil pilots widened the distance between each other, and then flew to the periphery of the tank group, and hovered around the perimeter, focusing on attacking the small tank phalanx there.

Fighting an aircraft with an anti-aircraft machine gun relies on a dense firepower output. The anti-aircraft machine guns had a limited range, and once the Japanese planes were far away from the center of the battlefield, they were much weaker under attack. This made the two devil pilots become emboldened, and the one on the left chased a Jiguang type, dived back and forth two times in a row, and blew off the tracks of the tank with a cannon, and the machine gunner on it was hit by shrapnel and died of hatred.

Qian Guangming had already been pulled into the tank by his own guards, but, out of his order, the top cover was not sealed, he sat in the tank, looked up at the sky, and saw two more Japanese planes flying overhead, and began to adjust their positions to prepare to dive and drop bombs, he was very annoyed, and said: "The little devil is very rampant!" Well, it's not a bad thing to be able to fool them with all the bombs, at least Commander Li is safe there. Next, it's time to run out of their shells - the little devil has grown, this kind of bomber is actually equipped with a cannon. ”

The intensive bombardment came again, this time, because of the harassment of the two Japanese planes, the formation of the tank group was a little disorganized. The continuous dive shelling of the Japanese planes, although the attack on the tanks did not receive much effect, but it killed many machine gunners, and the loss of machine gunners is equivalent to losing the eye to observe the enemy situation in the air, which led to problems in the position of some tanks, and the two Japanese planes newly joined the battlefield were obviously aware of this, and their bombing direction was the two small phalanxes on the left and right sides of the tank group.

Strings of bombs fell again, and this time, because it was impossible to determine the position of the Japanese planes, as a result, three tanks were directly hit by the bombs because of the turrets, which caused huge casualties to the crew of the tanks. One of them, because of the martyrdom, turned into a pile of burning scrap metal. As many as four tanks were affected by the explosion and overturned.

The situation of the tank units was somewhat bad, and the air defense forces also suffered a large number of casualties due to the frenzied retaliation of the long-standing righteousness.

As a squadron leader in the Japanese air force, Hisashi has a much higher combat capability than his wingman. In a fit of rage, the little devil played a trick and began to dive directly more than a thousand meters away from the air defense position, and when he lowered the flight altitude to the bomb drop altitude, he pressed the bomb drop button and immediately pulled up the nose of the plane.

The bombs were smashed out of the belly of the Japanese planes in a series more than 500 meters away from the air defense position, and it seemed that they were rambling, but because of the inertia provided by the fighters, these bombs still accurately smashed at the air defense position. Moreover, because they were falling at a relatively large angle, these bombs covered a larger area after leaving the fighters -- under this kind of covering bombing, half of the entire air defense position was enveloped in it, which caused great casualties to the officers and men of the air defense forces.

Ouyang Yun also saw this scene, he squinted his eyes and looked at the Japanese plane carefully, and said with some concern: "This devil pilot is a master!" After thinking about it, if this devil was allowed to deal with Li Hansoul's artillery, then the result would be unimaginable-although he knew that it was wrong for Lu Dao to think like this, he still secretly said that he was lucky.

After polishing the bomb for a long time, he did not stop his retaliatory actions, and as soon as he flattened the fuselage, he immediately dived down. And after the fighter plane descended to a certain height, just when a few shells exploded next to his landline, the little devil performed again, and after the two cannons mounted on the wing spit out a few flames, the fighter plane actually rolled to the left - seeing such a scene, Ouyang Yun was completely worried, and this time, what worried him was the performance of the Japanese aircraft - after the fighter continued to roll for a full minute, it was immediately flattened, and then, as soon as the nose of the aircraft was lowered, the two cannons fired again, and then, As soon as the nose of the plane was raised, the retaliatory fire on the ground was about to start, and it climbed rapidly, leaving a few artillery fires far behind.

Jiang Haiyang's character is still good, but this time it means that his position was not hit by a bomb. And about fifty meters from him, there was an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, nearly four anti-aircraft guns and several anti-aircraft machine guns, along with their shooters, which had been engulfed in the smoke and flames of the explosion.

The sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms stimulated Jiang Haiyang's nerves, and seeing the Japanese machine swooping down on him, he was unmoved, his teeth were clenched, his eyes narrowed into a line, his right hand quickly shook the adjustment handle, and his left hand pressed violently. However, the enemy he encountered this time was really extraordinary, and he had obviously calculated the amount in advance, but the few shells that were fired still missed.

After the Japanese plane was pulled up, it flew over his head like a demonstration, and then, when he turned upside down, two cannons spit flames at the same time, and more than a dozen shell carriers smashed flames at him—"Boom! In the continuous explosion, he only felt a pain in one part of his body, a dizziness in front of his eyes, and then fainted.

In this battle in the open field, in the end, the Cadet Corps drove away the Japanese planes at the cost of more than 200 young lives, the destruction of fifteen tanks and a large number of anti-aircraft weapons - hey, maybe it was not to run away, but the Japanese planes ran out of shells. On the Japanese side, only three of the eight new fighters eventually returned, and one of them was wounded.

The Japanese gunboats stopped shelling since the fighters arrived at the battlefield, and when the Japanese planes hovering over the position of the Cadet Army finally went away, whether it was Qian Guangming on the front line or Ouyang Yun in the command headquarters, both of them collapsed and sat down. Qian Guangming immediately ordered the troops to withdraw, but Ouyang Yun thought: "We still have to hurry up and build the air force, if the pilots of the little devils are so good, then in the future air battles, we must rely on numbers to win." Although the design concept and model of the 'Wanfu-2' fighter are ahead of this era, there are no supporting weapons and electronic instruments, and the combat power it can exert will be greatly reduced. In the air war of this era, the most important thing is people! ”

On the first day of the battle between the Cadet Corps and the 11th Division of the Japanese Army and the Yamada Detachment in Pukou, the Cadet Corps won the victory in terms of results alone. However, thinking of the extremely passive fighting of the air defense battle behind and the heavy losses, this victory made Ouyang Yun unable to be happy.

The Japanese air force has finally shown its hideous side, and that's not the most important thing - what worries him most is that the speed and quality of the Japanese fighters are far beyond that time and space - what will this mean?

Among the many branches of the army in the country, the weapons of the Cadet Army are the most advanced. Now, even the student army is completely suppressed and beaten, so don't the other troops in the country even have a chance to give it a go?
