Chapter 972: When Was It So Strong?

Without airplanes, the combat effectiveness of the US military would have shrunk by ninety percent. No matter how powerful the IS-7 is www.biquge.info, it is difficult to deal with those flying in the sky. In order to make himself live longer, Zhou Qingfeng will not ignore the overwhelming planes of Eagle Sauce on the Korean battlefield.

You know, the 1st Marine Division is an air wing. In addition to an airfield, there are at most seven aircraft carrier battle groups and hundreds of aircraft outside the port. More than 100 kilometers away from Wonsan Airport and thousands of kilometers away in Japan, there are B-26 and B-29 and other big guys.

How can people carry this?

Therefore, it is not enough to have the IS-7 alone, but also to have a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun with radar, for which Zhou Qingfeng even greatly reduced the amount of ammunition he carried. The chassis of the two tanks, which could pull seventy or eighty tons of cargo, carried only thirty tons of supplies in total, and the rest of the space was used to house improvised anti-aircraft radars and anti-aircraft guns.

In order to generalize ammunition, Zhou Qingfeng used the double-barreled 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun used by the US M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, so that the firepower could be maintained by capturing ammunition.

The most powerful part of the entire air defense system is the modified anti-aircraft fire control radar, semi-automatic loading and rapid sighting devices. To put it bluntly, there is little manual intervention, fast response, and absolutely world-class level. Now this improvised self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is finally starting to wield!

In Gutuli, after dawn, the U.S. troops here were filled with an atmosphere of panic and unease. The 'hell massacre' in the early morning was so impressive, the panzer detachment was destroyed so quickly and so tragically that many of the survivors returned and kept recounting the horrific scenes.

The tank crews who fled back were shouting about the horror of the enemy's new heavy tank, which could not be penetrated, ran fast, and the artillery was ruthless, and there was no solution at all. The infantry who survived also described the IS-7 as a 'monster from hell', and repeated the brutal murder of the armored vehicles in the rear.

In order to avoid the spread of panic, Colonel Puller had to send the soldiers who had fled to the field hospital. And in order to hold the Gutuli position, he immediately asked the carrier-based aircraft for air support. Spy on the enemy's movements, and if you can, take out that terrible tank.

The reaction of the US air force was very fast, and two "Corsair" carrier-based planes took off from the aircraft carrier "Wright". When he saw the plane whizzing overhead and heard the pilot on the radio that he was already in position, Colonel Puller was deeply proud of the mighty United States.

There was also a whole day, and no matter how to take out those yellow monkey tanks, the powerful US Navy and Air Force were not to fight...... Victory.

His Excellency the Colonel, who was in a relaxed mood, was waiting for the good news in front of the radio, and before he could mutter a few words of 'victory' to himself, he heard the pilot suddenly shout on the radio: "Hell, there are anti-aircraft guns on the ground!" ”

With just one sentence, there was no ...... behind, and communication was interrupted.

The U.S. troops in the ancient soil shouted 'hey, hey, hey' for a long time, and finally the communications non-commissioned officer and their colonel looked at each other together. The 'pirate' who was invincible just now, and that's the end?

The discovery of the new type of heavy tank of the Volunteer Army was not only highly valued by Colonel Puller of Gutuli, but also by the 1st Marine Division, the 10th Army, and even MacArthur, who was squatting in Tokyo as the 'Emperor'.

Almond, the commander of the 10th Army, who was supervising the battle at the port of Hungnam, was not at all surprised to hear that two 'pirates' who had gone to reconnoiter had been shot down. In his opinion, the so-called 'new tank' must be a good thing for Mao Xiong, and it is natural to arrange enough anti-aircraft fire for protection.

"Send another team of 'pirates' and take care to destroy the enemy's anti-aircraft fire." The commander of the army gave the order, and the Marine Corps' own air wing immediately took off an entire flying squadron, a total of fifteen 'pirates' to take revenge.

Fifteen 'pirates' is already a large group, and it took more than 10 minutes to fly in formation from the airfield in Hungnam to the skies over Gutu-ri. Seeing such a large fleet flying over, it immediately injected a shot of strength into the US military in Gutuli.

Colonel Puller even had the audacity to send a front-line aviation controller to be responsible for air liaison and to indicate targets to the 'pirates' flying in the sky.

It is only six or seven kilometers from Gutuli to Fushengli, which is controlled by the volunteers, and there are several mountains in between, and the distance between the two sides is very close. This time, the 'pirates' were smarter, and instead of flying at a low altitude, they first circled at an altitude of 3,000 meters to see what was going on.

In the eyes of the US pilots, it should be safe for them to stay at an altitude of 3,000 meters. With the volunteers equipped with outdated anti-aircraft firepower, there is basically no way to deal with enemy aircraft flying at this altitude. Because of the lack of radar, people can't see it.

And for the SCR-584 radar, which has been integrated by later generations of professionals, the altitude of three thousand meters can be seen clearly. Although Zhou Qingfeng only had a double-barreled anti-aircraft gun at hand, he still did not hesitate to order to fire.

The semi-automatic control of the anti-aircraft gun immediately turned the turret, and the two barrels were erected almost ninety degrees, spitting high-speed projectiles into the sky. With radar ranging and direction finding, and a 40-millimeter warhead with a precisely set time-delay fuse, although there is no way to use a better proximity fuse, the effect is not weak at all.

The front-line aviation controllers sent by Colonel Puller are panting to climb the hill, and they will carefully observe the positions of the volunteers from a certain distance, looking for targets that need to be attacked. But before they could actually go up the mountain, they heard the mournful whistling of wings in the distance.

Wouldn't it be, and start diving? What's ...... hurry, we're not in place yet.

The air controllers looked up, only to see a 'pirate' in the sky pulling black smoke down, one of its wings shattered. Halfway through the drop, the fuel tank of the plane caught fire, and the pilot was engulfed in flames before he had time to parachute.

And this time the downing was like a signal, and then the sky dropped planes one after another. Even though the 'pirates' flying in formation had disbanded and fled for their lives, the shells still stared at them like eyes.

Clouds of black smoke burst into the sky, and it was a cannonball with a set delay fuse exploding. And all this smoke surrounds the 'pirates' flying around, and the shrapnel flying sideways is like an appendage.

In the position of Fushengli, the double-barreled turret on the engineering vehicle is rotating rapidly, and the pitch angle of the gun barrel changes with the change of radar data.

In the vicinity of the engineering vehicle, a large number of soldiers, including the commander and political commissar of the 178th Regiment, watched in a daze. Today was the easiest day for them to deal with the US air raids, and before the attack had even started, the enemy planes ran away on their own.

"The anti-aircraft artillery of the big brother of the Soviet Union is so powerful?" The regimental commander was amazed and dumbfounded. The origin of the 'GOD' for this batch of equipment is Soviet aid. "After a few tom toms, the sky will be clear."

The Americans' radio was full of messy messages, and everyone who stood in front of the radio was stunned.

"We were attacked by ground fire."

"The squadron leader was shot down, he failed to parachute, his plane exploded."

"We have already lost two planes, not ......, three, already three."

"The enemy's anti-aircraft fire is too strong, and we must retreat."

Fifteen 'pirates' flew murderously, only to be shot down without even a single shot. The 'pirate' with a big life can only throw the bomb he carries indiscriminately, lose weight and quickly escape from the dangerous airspace, never to return.

Commander Almond, who was waiting for the news later, was also confused when he heard the news - when did the rabbit's anti-aircraft fire be so strong?
