Chapter 123 88mm anti-aircraft guns
Twenty Devil Type 96 land attack planes, carrying heavy aerial bombs, swooped down towards the east gate of Qingzhou City with a scream.
In an instant, countless aerial bombs screamed and fell down.
"Boom !!"
After countless aerial bombs were smashed down, a huge mushroom cloud exploded in an instant, and the fire and dazzling red dust of the explosion covered the entire east gate of Qingzhou City and the defenders' positions outside the city.
Most of the defenders of the third battalion and one company of the independent regiment outside the east gate and at the head of the city have taken refuge in the bomb shelters and various bunkers to avoid the bombing of devils.
However, the huge explosion, the power of which was still the same as the bomb shelter and the air raid shelter dug by the soldiers of the third battalion of the independent regiment, were a bit crumbling.
At this time, in an air-raid shelter outside the East Gate, Ning Yi, the commander of the first company of the third battalion of the Independent Regiment, was with Xiao Yan, the deputy company commander.
Ning Yi looked at the air defense bunker overhead, and the sand and mud from the devil aerial bombs that were smashed to the ground kept falling down, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Damn it, this air-raid bunker won't be blown up, right?"
To be honest, although it was an anti-aircraft shelter built in accordance with the suggestions of the regiment commander, the devil's aerial bomb was not blown up, and the shock of the explosion was strong enough.
Xiao Yan, the deputy company commander on the side, didn't care, he also knew the situation of some devils.
Although the little devil has the advantage of the fighters of the air force, the aerial bombs also look very ferocious.
However, the devil is an island country, and strategic resources such as steel are very poor.
In fact, the little devil is a poor man, and it is impossible to bomb without limit.
Especially a heavy aerial bomb like this, it won't take long to end quickly.
"Don't worry, company commander!!"
Xiao Yan smiled, listened to the deafening explosion in his ears, and said loudly: "The devil is a poor man, looking at the bomb thrown ruthlessly, but it will be over soon, company commander." ”。
"Hopefully!"
Ning Yi didn't know, but looking at the loud explosion of the bombing, it could be seen that the devil also dispatched a lot of fighters to bomb his own side fiercely this time.
Not to mention that Ning Yi was worried that the air-raid bunker would be blown up, but the air-raid bunker and air-raid shelter built according to Li Yunlong's suggestion would not be a problem to block at least the direct hit bombing of the devil's 1,000-kilogram aerial bomb.
What's more, the 20 Devil Type 96 land attack planes dispatched this time carried the largest aerial bombs of the 800-kilogram class, and a small number of fighters carried aerial bombs weighing about 300 or 400 kilograms.
Therefore, the bombing of 20 Devil 96 land attack planes and the east gate of Qingzhou City and the defenders' positions outside the city were a sea of fire, which was very spectacular.
However, because Li Yunlong had already made preparations in advance, after the roar of the devil's fighter plane came, he had already quickly ordered most of the defenders' soldiers to enter the air-raid bunkers and air-raid shelters to avoid the devil's bombing.
Left, some fighters for battlefield observation!
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The loud sound of the explosion, the east gate of Qingzhou City and the city wall, and the defenders' positions outside the city were filled with gunsmoke, and the clouds of smoke and dust from the explosion seemed to disperse very slowly without much wind.
At the moment of the bombing by the devil fighters, Nakamura Zhenxiong and his chief of staff, Kita Taijiro, were on the hillside in front of the military tent headquarters, with the help of binoculars, to observe the bombing effect of the third squadron of the devil flight.
"Yo-si, Yo-si!!"
Nakamura Zhenxiong has already put down his binoculars, The weather is good today, in fact, he can see the bombing of the east gate of Qingzhou City by 20 warplanes at this distance without a telescope.
"It's worthy of the Empire's warplane, and the bombing scene is very spectacular, Mu Duo-kun!!"
Nakamura Zhenxiong smiled and said to the chief of staff Kitatajiro on the side.
"Division Commander!!"
As the chief of staff of the 36th Division, Kita Taijiro nodded, and also said with a smile: "Look at this situation, the city wall of the East Gate has been blown up by 20 fighters of the Imperial Army, and several gaps have been blown up, which is enough for more than 3,000 infantry warriors of the 19th Infantry Wing of the 9th Brigade to attack the East Gate. ”。
"Hmm!!"
Nakamura Masao nodded, and then said to Kita Taijiro: "Order the 19th Infantry Wing, which is responsible for the siege, to prepare for the siege." ”。
"When the bombing and strafing of the Type 96 land attack aircraft are over, the artillery will relay fire to suppress the fire counterattack of the enemy defending the city, and the infantry units besieging the city, under the cover of artillery fire, will give me a few gaps in the wall of the east gate that the fighter plane has collapsed to attack into the city."
After a pause, Nakamura Masao listened to the explosion that was still bombing, and said with a solemn face: "The order given to us by the commander is to take Qingzhou City within two hours. ”。
"Then, we will take Qingzhou City in about an hour or less, and it is best to be able to capture Li Yunlong alive!"
When Kido Taijiro heard this, his expression suddenly became serious and said, "Yes, division commander." ”。
Afterwards, Kita Taijiro hurriedly walked down the hill and sent an order to the artillery and the commander of the 9th Brigade, Major General Sato Jio, to prepare artillery cover and infantry charges to attack the city.
At this time, 20 Devil 96 land attack planes were still bombing.
After the bombing was over, 20 Devil 96 land attack planes continued to dive and strafe using the three 7.7 mm aviation machine guns on the planes!
At this time, Li Yunlong was on the eight-story roof of the East Gate City, secretly observing the situation outside the East Gate City.
I saw that the city wall of the east gate had been blown down several gaps in the city wall, and the width of one of the largest gaps reached seven meters, which was enough for the devil infantry to attack through the gaps in the city wall.
"Damn, the little devil's aerial bombs are quite powerful!"
Li Yunlong frowned and gritted his teeth and said, if there is a large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun, especially the 88-millimeter anti-aircraft gun made by the German people, it will definitely be able to blow up the devil Type 96 land attack aircraft that is unscrupulously bombing the East Gate and the defenders' positions outside the city!
It's a pity that you can't exchange for 88mm anti-aircraft guns without a system!
Relying on some light and heavy machine guns to shoot at the air, you can't beat the devil's bomber at all!
"Boom, boom!!"
"Da Da Da, Da Da Da!!"
The devil's 20 Type 96 land attack planes are still bombing and strafing!
However, in less than 10 minutes of bombing and strafing, the bombs and ammunition for the aerial machine guns carried by the devils were thrown and destroyed.
At 10:14, under the observation of Li Yunlong and Wang Huaibao's telescopes, 20 bombers of the devils shook their wings and signaled to the devils waiting outside the city to attack the city, and then returned immediately!
"The devil bombardment is over, tell the brothers, get ready to fight!!"
Li Yunlong ordered.
"Yes, Captain!!"
A soldier has already gone down to give the order!
After the devil bomber strafed the fire, the defenders outside the east gate of Qingzhou City immediately came out of the air defense bunker and some fighters were ready to prevent the devils from taking advantage of the situation to suddenly attack.
However, the Devil's artillery fire began less than half a minute after the Devil's fighter plane's bombing and strafing ended.
