975 Earth-Air Confrontation
The mechanized combat units brought over by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie this time, especially the antiaircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns installed on some combat vehicles.
Some were seized from devils.
For example, the aviation machine gun captured from the plane where the devil crashed.
There are also rapid-fire machine guns captured from the little devils, and after being refitted, they are perfect for dealing with devil planes that fight at low altitudes.
The Wuchagou Japanese puppet army airfield, which was responsible for air firepower reinforcement in northern Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, was more than one grade worse than the Yangmingbao airfield in Shanxi.
There are only one or two dozen aircraft in the airport that have been preparing for war for a long time, and most of them are classic planes that are almost obsolete.
Compared with Yangmingbao Airport and the advanced aircraft that the Japanese army temporarily built in Licheng County in order to deal with the Eighth Route Army, it is too far behind.
The anti-aircraft weapons of the troops led by Kong Jie, who fought against them, had many achievements in the Taihang generation and shot down many advanced Japanese aircraft.
The contest between the two sides quickly kicked off.
From the moment they sensed that the devil's plane was approaching the battlefield, the officers and men of the rapid reaction force immediately went into action.
In order to avoid being hit by the Devil's bomber range fire.
The soldiers very tacitly opened the formation of various armored vehicles, tanks and combat vehicles, and arranged them into a relatively tacit air defense formation.
Then in the build-up, waiting for the appearance of the devil plane, and the best time to fire at the Japanese plane.
Jerking off is by no means a blind thing, and there is a lot of skill in it.
The specific weapons used, the angle of shooting, the frequency of shooting, and the formation of the attack, etc., are all learned.
There is a corresponding way to play with anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns.
If you use the regular Czech style and crooked handle, there is also a way to play.
Even with the most ordinary rifle in hand, there is also a way to fight against the air.
In the military training manual written by Kong Jie, there is a more systematic and detailed description of this.
When fighting against the air, the officers and men must have a preliminary judgment in their hearts about the performance of the devil's plane, including speed, course, and so on.
Then, according to the flight trajectory of the Japanese plane, the prediction was made, the advance of the shooting was calculated, and the corresponding crossfire was concentrated.
So as to achieve the purpose of effectively hitting the target and destroying enemy aircraft.
This is by no means blindfolded and shooting into the air to shoot down the plane, and the probability of that is quite low.
"Smoke bombs, cover the attack!"
Seeing that the various combat vehicles had already set up their anti-aircraft weapons and were ready to attack the devil's planes, the artillery officers and men in the rear took the opportunity to fire some smoke bombs, causing the gunpowder smoke to fill the entire battlefield.
Regardless of the effect, at least it can cause some visual interference to the devil pilots, so as to play a certain role of cover.
On the other side, the soldiers of the 715th and 716th regiments attacking the Suzuki Wing from the flanks sensed that the devil's plane was approaching.
They followed the instructions given by their regiment commander before the war and followed the old tradition of the Northwest Military Region when dealing with the aerial bombardment of devils.
Either find cover to dodge, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack, or directly close the distance, and completely entangled with the Japanese puppet army, so that the Japanese aircraft can not attack effectively.
So under the evolution of the war situation.
The soldiers who originally attacked the Suzuki United from both flanks immediately launched round after round of charges, taking the initiative to close the distance with the little devils of the Suzuki United.
Accompanied by smoke bombs projected all over the battlefield, under the smoke, it was not chaotic at a glance.
The gray, green, and yellow are almost mixed together, and I can't tell you and me apart.
Only some of the armored vehicles, tanks, and various combat vehicles that were far away from the Suzuki Wing were able to gallop back and forth with great speed, far from the area where the two sides were fighting.
Naturally, it became the first target to attract the devil plane to attack.
"Hit!"
Da Da Da –
Bang bang bang –
Just when a few Devil light bombers carried out low-altitude dive bombing, the planes reached the lowest altitude of their flight.
The soldiers, who had long been preparing for the battle vehicle, did not hesitate to operate the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns in their hands, and fired wildly at the target.
The machine gun shells and machine gun shells that were scattered in all directions immediately after they were fired converged in an area from all angles, and shrouded the Japanese planes flying at great speed.
The shot of the bullet, even if it hits the plane, does not seem to have a very conspicuous effect.
On the contrary, after the shells exploded in mid-air, even if they did not hit the target, they immediately exploded in mid-air.
Coupled with that blue sky, it was like an ink spot thrown out by a squid, blooming instantly in the blue water.
A sudden blow.
Where have these old planes that the Mongolian garrison has been stationed at Wuchagou Airport have ever seen such a battle, especially these devil pilots who are used to being pampered at the airport.
For a long time, the troops of the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, including the troops of the National Army, have always had air supremacy, and they have always fought absolutely crushing operations.
After receiving a combat mission, it roars away, bombing the target with it, and then leaving with it.
This seems to have become commonplace.
From the point of view of their pilots, the poor insects, who were as fragile as ants on the ground, fled in all directions like frightened beasts when they heard the sounds of their fighters and bombers from afar.
Unfortunately, it was in vain, and then it was mercilessly strafing and bombing, and the casualties spread rapidly.
Under the cover of aerial firepower, it is like purgatory on earth for the enemy.
What an interesting and evocative situation!
They don't think such a humble opponent has any ability to fight back.
Until this moment, all the conceit and pride were slapped in the face by reality.
The sudden anti-aircraft fire caught the two Japanese light bombers off guard.
Like a flying net thrown into the air, completely covered, the devil's two light bombers that were dive-bombing were directly hit through the fuselage by raindrops of bullets on the spot.
He was hit by a cannonball that followed.
Immediately, a long smoke dragged with it, and after the fuselage completely lost control, it stumbled towards the horizon not far away like a kite with a broken string.
Because all this came so suddenly, the plane that swooped down was too close to the ground, and even the devil pilots in the plane did not have time to parachute urgently.
Together with the entire plane, it slammed into the ground, and with a loud bang, the bones were gone.
The machine gunners and gunners on the chariot saw that the blow was effective, and immediately became more and more excited, operating the machine guns and machine guns in their hands, and firing more and more fiercely.
The soldiers driving the vehicles continued to maintain their speed, avoiding the shooting of the devil's fighters and the bombing of bombers at any time.
While maintaining an efficient dodge ability, the entire vehicle can use anti-aircraft fire against enemy aircraft in mid-air at any time.
At this time, if you look at it from God's point of view.
It can be seen that on the battlefield of Nuoda, the Suzuki Wing in the central area and several main regiments of the 358th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army are still in a white-hot confrontation.
On the flanks of the central combat area, a large number of scattered armored vehicles, tanks, various modified military cars, and motorcycles, loaded with various anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns, fired wildly at the Japanese fighters and bombers roaring back and forth in mid-air during the rapid advance.
Smoke filled the air.
A large number of smoke grenades fired by the soldiers blocked the view of many areas as the smoke billowed up.
The devil used the aviation machine gun loaded by the fighter jet to strafe the ground from mid-air.
Light bombers were constantly dropping bombs.
Some combat vehicles that had no time to dodge were blown over by the devil's shells, and the Eighth Route Army also suffered casualties.
But it's not a one-sided situation.
The fighters and bombers that were hovering and whistling in mid-air were also unpleased, and were constantly suppressed by the firepower that poured from all over the ground.
In just a few minutes, three or four aircraft were already destroyed by anti-aircraft fire from the ground.
The whole battlefield is quite intense.
It is quite rare to show the fierce confrontation between the infantry and the air force in the process of the Eighth Route Army against the Japanese army.
In the camouflaged forward reconnaissance fortifications, Brigade Commander Zhang, who was holding a telescope and looking at the situation on the battlefield from a distance, saw that the mechanized combat units of the Iron Triangle were directly in battle and engaged in fierce confrontations with the Japanese flying units.
"Okay, good, good fight!"
Brigade Commander Zhang said three good words in a row, and his heart was full of excitement.
"Commissar, did you see it?
The comrades of the Iron Triangle have set a good example for us!
For a long time, the devil's plane has bullied us enough, and every time the devil's flight unit rushes over, we can only be forced to evacuate, and we always fight.
But in the current battle, the troops led by Kong Jie showed the combat tactics against the air, as well as these special air defense equipment.
Obviously, it is enough to threaten the flying troops of the devils.
Even if he is a little devil who has obtained air supremacy, he can fly and dominate just by relying on an airplane, and everything in the sky will officially become history from today! ”
The political commissar on the side said thoughtfully: "Brigade commander, after this battle is over, we have to ask Li Yunlong and Kong Jie for help, and we can also build the air defense force of our 358 Brigade." ”
"Is this the reason, or is it the time you reminded me!" Brigade Commander Zhang said with a smile.
……
On the battlefield, with the mechanized combat vehicles led by Kong Jie, a powerful counterattack was launched against the Japanese army's flying units.
This scene not only surprised Brigade Commander Zhang and his party.
On the other hand, the little devils of the Suzuki United team who witnessed all this were even more dumbfounded.
The old devil Suzuki never thought that these eight-way roads would be so strong that they even had a considerable level and number of anti-aircraft weapons.
In a matter of moments, four or five planes of the flight unit were destroyed.
He knew very well that although the firepower of the flying unit was fierce, it could not fight a protracted war like the army, and once the ammunition carried by the aircraft ran out, it could only be forced to withdraw from the battlefield.
And as soon as the reinforcements of the flight unit are withdrawn.
Suzuki Daizuo let out a long sigh, and his face was like ashes for a while.
At this moment, let alone win this battle and eliminate these Eighth Route Army, he didn't even have the confidence to break out of the encirclement of these stubbornly entangled Eighth Route Army.
Ultimately......
The tide of battle continues to evolve, and the situation on the battlefield is just as Suzuki Daizao had speculated.
The last few remaining bombers of the Japanese flying group also quickly ran out of explosives, and six planes fell one after another.
Realize that this Eighth Route Army unit is too much of a threat to aircraft.
And the form of the battlefield at this time is not something that a flying force like them can forcibly reverse.
In desperation, the leader of the devil flight squadron who led the team had no choice but to give the order to return to the airport in order to avoid greater losses for the flight team.
A group of vintage planes, two of which flew away with a long smoke trailing from their tails.
In the past, the flying troops of the devils who were proud of their might and could not be defeated were now withdrawn in ashes like a lost dog.
And with the flight of the devils, the troops withdrew like this.
All the offensive pressure on the side of the Eighth Route Army immediately pressed on the Suzuki United.
The anxious Suzuki Daizo has repeatedly ordered the Ministry of Communications to continue to ask the headquarters for help.
But at this moment, how can there be reinforcements that can be reinforced?
The closest Nishino United has been completely defeated, and even Baode County seems to have been lost, also in the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.
The reinforced air firepower was counterattacked by the air defense units of the Eighth Route Army, and no effective offensive was achieved.
A lot of pressure came over me.
Suzuki Daizo, who has the character of an outlaw, was ashamed and frightened, and even had the idea of breaking the net with these damn Eighth Route Army fish to defend the dignity of the imperial warriors.
After this idea surfaced, Suzuki Daizo decided to break the cauldron at that time, simply not to run, and directly ordered the remaining imperial warriors to launch a death charge against the pursuing Eighth Route Army.
At all costs, fight to the death with these Eighth Route Army.
His original determination was firm.
Until he turned his head and inadvertently saw the large, round black oil drums in the Eighth Route Army through the telescope.
I recall that when he rushed to Xiaonan Village with the main force, he happened to see dozens of large oil drums spraying wildly, spitting tongues of fire, throwing explosive packs towards the front of the village, bombarding the vanguard brigade.
Suzuki shivered coldly.
Immediately, the thought in his heart that he was dead to the Eighth Route Army was completely suppressed.
These damn eight-way.
He cursed in his heart.
I don't know how the brains of these Eighth Route Army are growing, and their backward arsenals are able to develop such unconventional artillery.
There are these unconscionable artillery pieces that can project explosive packs in large quantities.
If the Japanese army carried out a large-scale charge, the number of troops would be no different from delivering food.
So what else can it do?
Keep running!
Suzuki Daizuo could only command desperately, leading the troops to continue to break through in the direction of Guzhen, how much can he run, how much does it count......
