The pilots of the 7th Squadron are really powerful, and the fact that only one of the 12 planes has lost so far is proof, but it is still very difficult to face hundreds of devil planes alone, and in a short time, two planes were shot down by devils, and another three planes were injured and persevered, after all, there is no cover now, and they can't retreat

Although he was very heartbroken about the sacrifice of his comrades, but as a later Soviet air marshal, Captain Pokryshkin was born to do great things, he was not carried away by anger, but endured his grief and led the Japanese aircraft group to the trap that had been set long ago, and the No. 2 combat plan was only used as a backup before, mainly because he was worried that fighting near the airport would cause great damage to the airfield, but now there is no more choice

As a matter of fact, the pilots of the Japanese army are all experienced, so how can they not see that the enemy plane in front of them is luring the enemy? But anyway, Luoyang Airport was originally one of the key targets they were preparing to bomb, and they were happy to complete this task by the way, not to mention that as far as they knew, the enemy's air defense weapons were not too many, and today's anti-aircraft artillery air defense efficiency was low, so they couldn't pose much threat to their hundreds of planes, but they were exposed just to sweep away the troubles, so these devil pilots didn't take the possible traps to heart

"It seems that no matter how talented a pilot is, if he has not been tested in actual combat, he is still a little tender. However, it is a blessing in misfortune to be able to successfully lure enemy aircraft here, and after the invention of the proximity fuse, this is the first time it has been put into actual combat, right? Let's ask the little devil to try it today", Hu Weidong is not a professional pilot. The exact parameters of the new Nakajima Type 97 fighter of the Japanese army were also not very clear, and the disadvantage in the first battle was simply attributed to the lack of actual combat experience of the Soviet pilots

However, Hu Weidong had the foresight to concentrate all the 72 Type 88 75mm antiaircraft guns and 36 120mm heavy cannons that could be used as antiaircraft guns in the 15 th Army's possession to the east of Luoyang Airport. Although the artillery sighting radar Jishu is not yet mature, with Hu Weidong, the "humanoid artillery sighting radar", personally commanding, it is enough for the devil group to drink a pot

Although the Japanese aircraft group was successfully brought within the effective range of the anti-aircraft guns, by this time there were only six planes left in the 7th Fighter Squadron of the Soviet Aid Air Force. And many of them were damaged, but Captain Pokryshkin finally completed his mission, and only a cannon shot was heard. Hu Weidong personally operated a 120mm plus heavy cannon to take the lead in firing into the air, and before the devil group could disperse, the shell had already entered the middle of them and immediately exploded in the air. After only hearing a deafening loud noise, a fireball visible to the naked eye on the ground burst out in the air, and the nearest Japanese bomber was immediately blown to pieces, shattered into countless fragments and sprinkled on the ground, and even several adjacent Japanese planes were injured to varying degrees, one of them insisted on flying for a few seconds and finally fell headlong, the original pilot of the plane was hit by a number of shrapnel from the explosion of anti-aircraft shells, although he tried his best to persevere, he finally fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss, In the end, he was buried in a foreign land with his landline

"Shoot down two planes with one shot?". Whether it was the enemy in the sky or the artillery on the ground, all of them opened their eyes in disbelief for a while. As everyone knows, this is not only because of Hu Weidong's superb artillery skills, but also because the power of 120mm caliber anti-aircraft shells is too great, and it must be known that the effective killing radius of conventional artillery shells of this caliber can reach about 30 meters. Moreover, in consideration of the insufficient quantity of antiaircraft guns, Hu Weidong specially ordered the arsenal to produce special shells filled with high-explosive charges (the propellant remains unchanged) at a relatively high price, and to make up for the lack of quantity with quality, so the power was naturally greater; in addition, now that there is a proximity fuse, even if the antiaircraft shells do not directly hit the enemy plane, they will explode in a volley at a relatively close range, and damage the enemy plane with shock waves and fragments. The hit rate naturally increases. It is precisely because of this problem that the Japanese pilots were forced to communicate with each other through visual means, which means that the distance between the Japanese planes cannot be too far, and the devil pilots did not expect that the air defense brigade of the 15th Army was capable of threatening them at an altitude of several thousand meters, and they did not take any precautions, and as a result, they suffered a big loss...,

But then again, for the Japanese aircraft group that does not have an air giant like B29, the power of the 120mm large-caliber anti-aircraft gun is really a bit frustrating, you must know that because the proximity fuse was not used in actual combat for the first time on the shijie until today, the combat effectiveness of the previous large-caliber anti-aircraft gun was not satisfactory, far less than the small-caliber high-rate machine gun or even the anti-aircraft machine gun, so the number of equipment in various countries is very limited, and the caliber of the Japanese army's 75mm anti-aircraft gun is very large, But how can it compare to a 120mm anti-aircraft gun? It is no wonder that the Japanese planes were unprepared for this, and the distance between them was too close, and as a result, the anti-aircraft shells fired by the air defense brigade of the 15 th Army were surprisingly efficient.

Of course, too large a caliber also means that the rate of fire is slow, not to mention that the 120mm plus heavy cannon is not a genuine anti-aircraft gun, it can shoot 4-5 rounds a minute, even if it is fast, if it is not for Hu Weidong's artillery skills are really powerful, it can also make up a number of icing on the cake, the main force of anti-air artillery bombardment, or the 72 88 type 75mm anti-aircraft guns

Although the artillerymen of the Air Defense Brigade of the 15 th Army were all amazed by the commander's miraculous artillery skills, they did not forget their own work, and almost at the same time that the shell fired by Hu Weidong exploded in the air, the other 107 large-caliber antiaircraft guns on the air defense position also roared at the same time

Although there are not many sharpshooters like Hu Weidong, with the help of proximity fuses, the salvo of hundreds of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns is enough to create a large and terrible barrage, but the Japanese pilots fell into a brief panic because of their lack of experience in dealing with them, and as a result, they were hit by two salvos of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns of the air defense brigade in vain. But after all, these Japanese pilots were all selected air combat elites, and even if the commander of the flying regiment was killed in the first round of shelling, they immediately flew to the enemy's air defense position under the command of the deputy regiment commander (welcome to your support, is my greatest motivation). )
