Chapter 264: Ground-Air Battle (4)

When the Japanese planes flew through the sky, Wang Hai shouted: "The air defense battalion is ready to fight. ”

The tarpaulins on the thirty or so cars were opened, revealing weapons with camouflage nets. It turned out that these thirty cars were not cargo, and on each car was a heavy machine gun.

These ordinary people and people from the convoy do not know and do not know what kind of weapon this is, but the people of the air defense battalion know.

Airplanes are a major threat to Xue Ru, and attacking fortifications has always been Snow Fox's weakness, so Xue Ru asked Taylor to buy arms from the United States, not buying any artillery or heavy weapons, but buying anti-aircraft machine guns.

In fact, this Browning M2 heavy machine gun is not an anti-aircraft machine gun, but he has been used in place of anti-aircraft machine guns during World War II. Heavy machine guns with excellent performance are widely used in all aspects. Small ships, tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, and ground attack units are armed with this heavy machine gun.

The American Browning M2 heavy machine gun is an air-cooled multi-purpose machine gun, which was finalized and equipped with US troops in 1932, with a total weight of 56.2 kilograms, a total length of 1.653 meters, and a caliber of 12.7 millimeters, that is, an aviation machine gun on ordinary aircraft.

The rate of fire is 45 to 580 rounds per minute, the muzzle velocity is 930 meters per second, the effective range is 1,800 meters, and the maximum can reach 2,500 meters. The biggest use can also be used for anti-tank combat, to use armor-piercing steel core bullets can penetrate 53 mm thick medium carbon armor, the Japanese light tank can not withstand the blow of this machine gun, so the M2 heavy machine gun is the most ideal weapon for the Snow Fox.

However, this weapon has just been installed in the United States for a short time, and Zhang Donglin has thought of many ways through Taylor John, but he only bought fifty of them, and this time equipped them on thirty trucks. The M2 is light in weight and has a small gun body, and the tripod is fixed on the compartment on the rear box of the car, not afraid of vehicle bumps and Mercedes, and it is covered with a tarpaulin, so I don't know what is in the car at all?

Originally, a machine gun was used by a squad, but in order to solve the space problem and ammunition problem, the number was reduced to six people, two main and auxiliary marksmen, two main and auxiliary ammunition men, one observation soldier, and one commander, a total of six people, which was Wang Hai's air defense battalion. With the range of this machine gun, if the range of normal anti-aircraft combat is obviously insufficient, Japanese bombers can also drop bombs at 3,000 or 4,000 meters.

That's how Xue Ru came up with this plan, didn't the devil bomb the convoy? Then use the convoy as a bait to lure the Japanese army to fight a battle of ground ambush and sky. Sure enough, all this fooled the Japanese army, and Ishikawa Aidasa, who heard that it was a transport convoy of thousands of vehicles, transferred two squadrons of planes to bomb it.

Unprepared for anti-aircraft weapons on the ground, the 3rd and 5th bomber squadrons flew at low altitudes and dive-bombed in an attempt to accurately drop bombs and destroy the convoy in one fell swoop. Wang Hai gave an order, the tarp on the car was opened, and thirty heavy machine guns raised their barrels and aimed at the plane in the sky.

Snow fox combat is not a random fight, no matter what kind of training the troops, it is not simply training aiming, how accurate the fight is, but more tactical training. At this time, thirty machine guns formed a circular position, divided into three squads, the first and third teams were two pairs, the second team from the side, the muzzle of the gun pointed in three directions, the Japanese aircraft let out a strange roar, swooping down from the sky.

In order to concentrate the bombing, Captain Akira Oshima, who commanded the planes, formed the planes into a regular formation. There was no way, because the Japanese planes could not communicate with each other, they could only formulate good tactics and follow the commander's actions, so the planes formed a dense formation, and this not small forest became the target of the Japanese bombing.

Oshima Funaaki felt that the people on the ground were stupid, hiding in the face of the bombing of the planes was almost the same as waiting for death, if they were scattered, the planes carried * were limited, and they could not be destroyed all, but they were concentrated in the woods, and it was not a dense forest, so they became the target of the Japanese army's training.

Captain Akira Oshima seemed to have seen the screaming dead Chinese and the burning overturned vehicle, but when his plane rushed into the bombing target, he reached for the bomb switch and was surprised to find the muzzles of the guns aimed at them.

The same 12, 7 mm guns, the same with aviation machine guns on airplanes, Oshima Funae is too familiar. He was frightened and wanted to pull the plane up, this kind of gun has a range of only more than 2,000 meters, as long as it is raised, it can still be dodged. It's a pity that the plane's dive bombing is diving downward, and at this time it is less than 1,500 meters above the ground, and it will take time to pull it up. Ten heavy machine guns facing the Japanese planes erupted tongues of fire. The Japanese planes were found in front, but not in the back, and they were still diving downward, as if they were not afraid of dying.

There was a thumping sound, Oshima Funaming felt the fuselage vibrate, he understood that the plane was injured, but before he could pull the plane up, a fire broke out behind him, and the plane was set on fire. The ammunition hand behind him operated a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire, and the plane did not rise again, but shook and rushed to the ground in the distance.

As the planes rushed to the ground, Funeaki Oshima saw four planes crashing to the ground in smoke, and some that he couldn't see. The first blow is the principle that Snow Fox has always pursued, and ten machine guns have caused at least five planes to crash, and how many others were injured is unknown.

There is an arc-shaped process for an airplane to change from a dive to an ascent, and it is also the time when the plane is at the lowest altitude. The muzzle of the Snow Fox air defense battalion was either oriented in one direction, or because the speed of the aircraft was so fast that it was too late to turn the gun. When it was suddenly hit, the planes didn't have time to drop bombs, and they all pulled up and tried to dodge the shots. As the plane swept by, ten machine guns aimed at the center of the side muzzles sprayed bullets. This was the second wave of blows, also fired from the side, and several planes crashed in smoke, and one plane was actually hit with a volley exploding.

And that's not all, when the planes flew by, it was the direction in which the muzzles of the last ten machine guns were pointed, which was chased after the butt and beaten, every step was counted by the air defense battalion, when the remaining planes rushed into the sky, and the deputy captain fled with the rest of the planes, only seven of the twenty-four planes escaped, and seventeen planes crashed and were shot down.

Looking at the plane that fled in embarrassment, the earth-shattering cheers sounded in the woods, and the shouts of long live the Snow Fox Army were exciting and moving. The coachmen and the convoys, who were terrified to death, hugged each other and jumped up and cheered.

Before Wang Hai could react, he was lifted up and thrown into the sky by these people, and he was so frightened that he shouted: "Mom, Lao Tzu has a fear of heights, and I'm afraid of fainting." But no one listened to him, so he threw him up, caught him, and threw him again, and when Wang Hai was put down, his face turned pale and he almost didn't vomit.

Seeing the people of the road escort team laughing, Wang Hai shouted angrily: "Bai Wuyu, you hurt me, vomit, vomit ......" He retched breathlessly, which attracted another burst of laughter.

In victory, there were no casualties among the air defense battalions, no casualties among the road escort teams, no loss of vehicles, and the shooting down of 17 Japanese planes, with brilliant results. Wang Hai, who calmed down, shouted: "Operator, report to Miss, the convoy set off, rushed through Daxin to Long An, and the air defense battalion guarded the sky." ”

After an ambush, the devil already knew that the convoy had anti-aircraft weapons, and it was useless to hide it again, thirty cars opened their tarpaulin muzzles to the sky, ten cars in front, ten cars in the middle, ten cars behind to protect, and more than a thousand carriages passed through Daxin County, and went straight to Long An with a little addition. There is a chance that the devil will send more planes to retaliate, so buy time to get there as soon as possible.

However, no Japanese planes arrived until dark, because the speed of the journey was faster during the day than at night, and if it was a car, I was afraid that it would go farther, but the horse-drawn carriage could not. But it's also more than twice as fast.

At the airfield of the 21st Air Brigade of the Japanese Army in Qinzhou, Ai Ishikawa was stunned and looked at several wounded and pilots in front of him, a little dizzy. The plane actually let the ground air defense forces ambush it, and this really became a shame for the Air Force. But what can he do? A Japanese brigade had no more than thirty or forty bombers, and he had five squadrons, but one of them was a fighter and a squadron of reconnaissance planes, and there were only three squadrons of bombers, twelve in each squadron, and this time there were 17 bombers, and when they finally landed, two planes crashed due to serious injuries, that is, the loss of 19 planes, which was more than half of the entire bomber.

He reported the situation to the 21st Army and requested additional aircraft, otherwise it would be impossible to carry out bombing. Lieutenant General Ando Jiri, who received the report, scolded Ai Ishikawa on the phone, but to no avail. It can only report to the Chinese army and request additional aircraft to Guangxi, otherwise it will not be possible to stop the counteroffensive in the fourth theater.

Xue Ru, who was in Heyang City, read the telegram sent by Li Wenxiu, and a smile appeared on his face, the days when devils dominated the sky will be gone forever. This weapon is too good, but the Japanese army is prepared to dispatch a large number of aircraft, coupled with high-altitude bomb drops, and only one air defense battalion is not enough. But it's too expensive to buy these weapons and ammunition, shouldn't you go to Myanmar and see if you can get the money out? With that money, you can form a small air force, and you can compete with the devils.

Xue Ru is thinking about how to solve the Air Force there? Because Ouyang Sari said that he had already obtained two flight instructors from the French army through General Balden, but unfortunately Snow Fox did not have a plane, and he couldn't even teach normally, so he had to find a way.

Zhang Donglin came in: "Miss, Cadoll has sent someone to invite you to Hanoi again, saying that there is something to discuss with you." ”

Xue Ru didn't know what Cadol had to discuss with him, did he want to get rid of himself, it seemed impossible to discuss, and besides, would it be useful? Cadol isn't that mentally retarded! If you don't use force to get Snow Fox to leave, it's impossible. If it weren't for the fear of Japan's blockade of the sea, Snow Fox could have occupied the whole of Vietnam, and Cadol's 30,000 troops were not yet in Xue Ru's eyes. It seems that he must have some reason for looking for himself, and he resolutely did not come to Heyang. Forget it, let's meet him! Seeing that there was something to discuss with him, he said, "You can arrange for me to go to Hanoi tomorrow to meet Kadour and see what is going on?" ”

Qiao Han hurriedly said: "No, Miss French is not reliable, it is too dangerous for you to go to Hanoi, what if Cadol and Barden turn their faces and detain you?" ”

Zhao Dele also disagreed, it was okay to go, and agreed that Snow Fox would send a group to protect him, otherwise he couldn't go.

Xue Ru is now a black household, not a member of the North Vietnam Autonomous Government, and his political influence is not enough for Kadol not to dare to mess around. The bigger the official, the more he spares his life, and Xue Ru is no exception, Zhang Donglin said: "I ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao said with a cold face: "What do you mean by Zhang Donglin, why do you have to let Miss go to Hanoi, can't Kador come?" He's afraid of the snow fox, aren't we worried about him? ”

Zhang Donglin was also anxious: "Qiao Han, can I harm Miss?" Cadol is the governor, and we can't turn against the French, and they also know that the Snow Fox Viet North Autonomous Government is a young lady, so I have repeatedly mentioned that I want to meet, and there are some important things to discuss, and I am also thinking about the long term. If Miss knew what Cadol meant, we would have dealt with it, and I went and they didn't talk to me. ”

Zhao Dele said: "That's it, don't quarrel, since Kadoer doesn't come to Heyang, Miss can't go either, District Chief Zhang, I see you take Miss to Beijiang and choose a place in Chinanhe, it's always okay for the two sides to meet!" We both have a small number of guard troops, so don't we have anyone worried? ”

Zhang Donglin was not worried about Xue Ru's safety, but he felt that there must be something important for Kadol to say this repeatedly, the territory of the North Vietnamese Autonomous Government was too small, Zhang Donglin wanted to expand, but he was afraid to let Japan know that it would be right if Kadol asked for something. If it is a threat, he can also know in advance and think of a foolproof plan, after all, he has the idea of letting Xue Ru become independent in North Vietnam.

But Zhang Donglin didn't know that Xue Ru knew that Japan would enter Vietnam in 41 years, and a major war in Europe would break out in a few months, and France would be too busy to take care of itself at that time, so he didn't worry about what would happen to Kadol. It was because he knew that France could not afford to take care of the southeast peninsula, Xue Ru thought it was necessary to meet with Cadol and prepare in advance, so that Snow Fox could also expand at that time.

Hearing Zhao Dele's words, Zhang Donglin said: "I'll go to Hanoi to find Kadowl, if he doesn't agree, it will have a purpose, Miss can't go at all, if so, we will meet in Bac Giang." ”

Now that the matter was settled, Zhang Donglin went to Hanoi to meet Kadol to discuss his meeting with Xue Ru, and Xue Ru also learned something about the affairs of the North Vietnamese Autonomous Government. Soon after Zhang Donglin returned, Kadol agreed to meet in Beijiang Town, and the two sides only led the necessary guards and did not allow the troops of both sides to approach, and the time was three days later at noon.

Wei Ming's intelligence office, Ouyang Sari's special forces, and Zhao Dele's garrison immediately investigated the area around Bac Giang Town to ensure safety, after all, it was the place where Snow Fox and the French army in Hanoi bordered.

At the same time, on the edge of the 100,000 mountains on the outskirts of Qinzhou, a place called Qingshanling, Wan Yonghui sent his special operations troops, led by the leader of the third squadron, to enter the outskirts of Qinzhou through the mountain path. More than 30 miles further forward is the Qinzhou Airport of the Japanese Army, where most of the planes of the 21st Air Group of the Japanese Army are located.
