"Get down! Get down! ”

"Into the defensive hole, quick!"

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese suddenly began to bombard the positions of the 2nd and 3rd regiments violently, and without warning, shells exploded on the two lines of defense in an instant.

The soldiers hurriedly retreated into the individual anti-artillery holes to avoid the shells, and the hot earth flew up and down, and charred black craters abounded.

The three artillery battalions immediately began to counterattack, and a neat roar erupted from the rear, and the flames and smoke filled the entire battlefield in an instant.

With the addition of their own artillery, the density of Japanese firepower dropped sharply, and a fierce artillery battle ensued between the two sides.

The artillery of the 3rd Division quickly adjusted the angle under the feedback of the observation post and poured shells one after another onto the opponent's position.

"Put on the arson, three rounds of covered shooting, and withdraw when you finish shooting!"

"Yes!"

After several days of fighting, from the accuracy of shooting to the proficiency of rapid transfer after firing, the soldiers' hard skills have made a substantial leap, and they are no longer at a disadvantage as at the beginning of the battle.

The nine-kilometer range of the Bofors 75 mountain gun is almost catching up with the 105 howitzer, although it is slightly inferior in caliber, but it is not inferior in range, and it fights with the little devils well.

In particular, the arson bombs exploded a large area on the ground, and the splashed flames were terrifying, and the devil's artillery position had to be hurriedly transferred when it was slightly next to the point, for fear that their shell pile would be ignited and detonated.

"What the does this mean?"

Hong Mu, who had just arrived at the front line, observed the situation through the artillery mirror, and although the Japanese were now full of firepower, the attacking team that should have arrived had not appeared for a long time.

He thought he was going to do a big job, he couldn't help but be a little discouraged, why didn't the little devil just thunder and not rain?

Buzz Buzz......

The shelling lasted for nearly 20 minutes, and just when Hong Mu thought it was about to end, there was a sudden roar in the air, which was the sound of fighter planes flying through the sky!

"Damn, shouldn't it ......"

Hong Mu ran out of the fortifications with a telescope and looked around the sky, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen warplanes in the southwest coming out of the clouds and speeding in their direction.

It will never be the fighter plane flying from that direction, Hong Mu exclaimed, and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and shouted: "Li Jie, where is your turtle son?" Get ready to fight the birds! ”

Almost at the same time as the fighters appeared, the Japanese also attacked, and about two large groups of troops swooped down on the main position with a long line of skirmishers.

On the other side, Li Jie didn't bother to reply, he had already rushed to the anti-aircraft gun position when he heard the loud sound of the engine, and asked the soldiers to tear the concealed canvas open, revealing the black hole of the door below.

"Battalion... Battalion commander, what are we going to do... What's the fight? ”

A soldier stammered and asked, although Li Jie had been training them for a while, most of the air defense soldiers were fighting for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

"Listen to my orders, the 4 anti-aircraft guns in front of the formation will fire first and cross! Don't panic and hide behind the forest, wait for the enemy plane to dodge before shooting, and try to kill him two or three in one round! ”

Li Jie's face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he quickly and calmly made tactical arrangements, and the soldiers saw that the commander was not in a hurry, and their hearts gradually calmed down.

In the past, he served as a platoon commander of the air defense corps when he was in the 49th Division, and at that time he played the Bofors anti-aircraft gun, although he was later transferred to the combat anti-aircraft artillery battalion, but he was still familiar with this anti-aircraft gun.

This battle was also Li Jie's first battle after entering the Sichuan Army and even the Third Division, although he was not afraid of danger in front of the soldiers, he was still a little nervous in his heart.

A ground attack formation of 12 Falcon planes quickly flew over the position, each with two 250-kilogram aerial bombs hanging on its wings, and they had already begun to lower their flight altitude and prepare to dive and drop bombs.

"Don't panic! Steady! Li Jie stood next to the anti-aircraft guns and shouted loudly, and the anti-aircraft artillery teams on the positions of the three regiments were divided into four combat groups by him one after the other.

The surrounding soldiers were already waiting for the anti-aircraft guns, and everyone was staring at the approaching Japanese plane, and their palms were sweating.

"Hit!"

"Bang! Boom! Boom! Bang ......"

Just as the fighter plane swooped down from a high altitude, four anti-aircraft guns opened fire violently, and two crossfires instantly stopped in front of the Japanese.

The three Japanese fighters at the front were startled by this sudden barrage, and they hurriedly turned the operating stick to avoid it.

I have to say that the flexibility of the little devil's Hayabusa fighter is still very high, and it can quickly change direction to avoid enemy attacks in unexpected situations, of course, this is also due to the inexperience of the gunners.

The pilots of the three Hayabusa skillfully maneuvered the planes to evade and were lucky enough to avoid the shells, but when they flew through the woods behind the enemy's anti-aircraft guns, two more crossfires came at them.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

With two loud bangs, two Japanese fighters who could not hide were blown up on the spot, and the other was also grazed by shells across the wings, causing the planes to lose their balance and plant diagonally to the ground.

It was too late, and then quickly, the other Falcon fighters that followed closely behind hurriedly stretched their noses and quickly lifted into the air, they did not expect that there would be such dense anti-aircraft fire on the position of the Huaxia people, so they could only fly out of the opponent's attack range before making plans.

At this moment, eight other 8 anti-aircraft guns on the 233 heights of the 40 heights also began to join the firing ranks.

For a while, the guns were loud! 16 Bofors anti-aircraft guns and more than 30 anti-aircraft machine guns converted from M2 old godmothers were fired at the same time.

The terrifying barrage was overwhelming, and concentrated strikes were carried out on enemy aircraft from multiple directions, and under such a fire strike, the remaining nine Japanese fighters could not get close at all.

Moreover, the salvo of several anti-aircraft guns will seriously interfere with the judgment of the pilots of the enemy aircraft, so that they will not dare to dive and bomb the anti-aircraft artillery positions below, and can only passively dodge and try to get out of the circle of fire.

"Kusho! Huaxia Pig still has such a fierce anti-aircraft artillery team, it seems that the strength of our opponent is not ordinarily strong! ”

On the Japanese position, Tanaka Shinichi gritted his teeth and scolded, originally thinking that the fighter support requested from the military headquarters this time could pry open the enemy's defense line, but unexpectedly, the other party had already prepared counterattack weapons.

Although the air strikes were not as good as they could be, he had more than one hole card today.

"Ushijima, the chariot brigade has arrived, right?"

"Hey, Captain Kato has reached the rear of the 165th Wing, and he will be ready to attack in 10 minutes. Other than that... Special ammunition also reached the front. Ushijima replied respectfully with his feet together.

"Yo Xi, order Yamazaki to start."

"Hey"

Tanaka smiled gloomily, looking at the enemy position with roaring artillery fire on the opposite side and was silent for a long time, today... I'm going to open your tortoise shell!
