Chapter 637: Wings Can't Escape!

"Lao Li, Lao Xing, you have been studying for an afternoon."

"Have you figured out a way to kill this group of devils?"

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo and asked.

Wang Dehou on the side frowned, his eyes were thoughtful, it was very difficult to kill this group of devils!

Li Yunlong deliberately sold a pass: "Shook his head, I haven't thought of a good way yet, do you two have any ideas?" ”

He asked, in addition to deliberately selling a pass, just to see if Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou could come up with a better way.

As the saying goes, three stinkers are the top of Zhuge Liang.

What's more, Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou are both extremely smart people.

Let's brainstorm together to see if we can find a better way.

Zhao Gang thought about it and said: "Beiping and Baotou, our new group is not familiar, Shanxi is our home field, and my suggestion is to do it in Shanxi." ”

"The devil only landed at Taiyuan Airport?" Wang Dehou stared at the route map drawn by Li Yunlong on the map, "Why don't we wait for Gu Shoufu's special plane to land and guide the artillery to bomb Taiyuan Airport?" ”

"That's a way to do it." Zhao Gang nodded and agreed, "Didn't we hide a few mountain cannons and hundreds of shells in Wujin Mountain, just this time it can come in handy." ”

"This way." Xing Zhiguo said: "I have already discussed it with the head of the regiment, but it will not work at all. ”

"Although we can grasp the exact time when Gu Shoufu's old devil's plane landed at Taiyuan Wusu Airport."

"But when the old devil lands, within a radius of a few kilometers, it must be defended by three layers of heavy troops inside and outside."

"It's very difficult for our artillery observers to infiltrate, let alone guide the shelling."

Since the last time Taiyuan's Xincheng Airport was bombed by Li Yunlong's 150mm howitzer extended-range shells.

The new city airport has not yet been renovated.

Therefore, if the devil's transport plane wants to fly to Taiyuan, it can only land at Wusu Airport, and the same is true of the information given by Boss Chen.

Wang Dehou said: "What if the members of the Sword Squadron, who are good at infiltrating and lurking, carry walkie-talkies three or five days in advance, infiltrate the vicinity of the airport, and when the devil's plane lands, call the mountain artillery to shell the devil's airport?" ”

Xing Zhiguo said: "In this way, the special forces who infiltrate with walkie-talkies have almost no possibility of coming back." ”

Earlier the new regiment shelled the new city airfield twice.

It is because the devils are near Taiyuan, and they have not built so many thickened reinforced concrete bunkers and turrets.

That's why the artillery observers of the Sword squadron were able to get out smoothly.

And this time the situation is more complicated.

First of all, this time it is the arrival of the devil's big shot, and the area around the airport must be guarded.

Secondly, once the airport is shelled, the devils will perceive that there are artillery observers of the Eighth Route Army calling for shelling near the airport.

When the time comes, the devils will search for a carpet, and the observers will definitely be searched.

In addition, the Yamamoto special team was also in Taiyuan, and one or two team members infiltrated the vicinity of the airport, which can be said to be ten dead.

Deputy Head Xing was still relatively conservative.

"Then take the voluntary principle!" Wang Dehou said, "Although this is a dead mission, I believe that none of the members of the Sword Squadron will not want to carry out this mission." ”

"That's what I said." Xing Zhiguo said, "The members of the Sword Squadron are all our treasures, and we all have to feel distressed if we lose one." ”

As soon as Deputy Head Xing's words fell, Li Yunlong also shook his head slightly.

Although it is not a loss to use the lives of one or two team members to exchange Gu Shoufu and the two devil major generals, as well as the accompanying devil adjutant.

However, unless it is absolutely necessary, Li Yunlong will not engage in this kind of business that hurts the enemy by a thousand and loses a few hundred.

"There's another way!"

Zhao Gang said suddenly, and everyone immediately looked at him.

"I can sneak into the airport on the way from Taiyuan a few days in advance, and use my Barrett large-caliber sniper rifle to kill Gu Shoufu!"

What Zhao Gang thought was that the distance from the airport to Taiyuan City was about 10 kilometers, and the defense of the devils in the middle should not be so strict.

His large-caliber sniper rifle has an effective range of 1.8 km and can snipe from a distance.

As soon as these words came out, Li Yunlong said with a serious face: "I resolutely oppose it, the method of sniping halfway will not work at all, the devil is sitting in an armored car, although your large-caliber sniper rifle can shoot through the armor of the devil's armored car, but we don't know which car Gu Shoufu sits in and where he sits, how do you snipe?" ”

Of course, what Li Yunlong really objected to was Zhao Gang's security issue.

Regardless of whether Zhao Gang's sniping is successful or not, once he shoots at that position, Zhao Gang basically has no chance of surviving.

Not to mention exchanging Zhao Gang for Gu Shoufu, even if Zhao Gang and the Japanese locust were exchanged for a life, Li Yunlong would never agree.

"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either."

"What do you say?"

Although Zhao Gang was a little annoyed in his heart, he still asked patiently with a look of expression in his expression.

This time, killing Gu Shoufu's business is not only for the business of 32 heavy howitzers, but also for the revenge of those compatriots in Jinling who died tragically under the devil's butcher's knife!

So even if he sacrifices himself, Zhao Gang has to kill Gu Shoufu, the old devil!

It is worth mentioning that the commander of the 2nd Guards Division, Muto Akira, who was killed by the new regiment at the Niangziguan railway station last year, was also one of the executioners of the Jinling Massacre.

At that time, Kosuo was the division commander of the 6th Division, and Muto Akira was the deputy chief of staff of the Central China Dispatch Army.

The order for the Jinling Massacre was issued by the Central China Dispatch Army Command.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed slightly, and a standard smile appeared on his face:

"My method with the deputy regiment commander is that we use anti-aircraft guns to shoot down the devil's plane!"

"Hit the devil's plane with anti-aircraft guns?" Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou's expressions were stunned.

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded, his expression confident, "Since we know the time and route of Gu Shoufu, the old devil, from Beiping to Taiyuan, then we will directly set up the anti-aircraft gun halfway and shoot down the old devil's plane." ”

At present, the new regiment is equipped with 40 37-mm anti-aircraft guns.

This 37-mm anti-aircraft gun is the M1939 37-mm anti-aircraft gun, which is one of the most important medium and low-altitude defensive weapons of the Soviet Army, and is also the most important field air defense weapon of the Volunteer Army.

The performance data is also very good, with an effective shooting height of 3,000 meters, a maximum shooting height of 6,700 meters, and a maximum range of 8,500 meters.

Of course, Li Yunlong likes to use it to shoot the devil's infantry flat.

Artillery firepower has a big advantage, and when the devils launch a charge, the M2 heavy machine gun, 20 mm machine guns, and 37 mm anti-aircraft guns are fired at the same time.

The only downside is that it's a bit of a hassle when cleaning up the battlefield.

When Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up.

Zhao Gang said: "The devil's plane is approaching the airport, and it is estimated that it will have to reduce its altitude and prepare to land!" ”

"Under normal circumstances, the plane begins to descend from the airport 400 kilometers away, about 4,000 meters from the airport about 50 kilometers away, and about 3,000 meters from the airport 30 kilometers from the airport."

"It's 10 kilometers from the airport and the altitude is about 1,500 meters."

"If you do it at a distance of 20 kilometers from the airport, then the height of the devil's plane at this time should be about 2300 meters"

"With the effective firing height of our 37mm anti-aircraft guns, it is completely within reach."

"Commander." Wang Dehou also nodded and said, "This method is very good!" ”

The main reason is that the big officials who killed the devils in the past, either Zhao Gang shot remotely with a sniper rifle, or Duan Peng planted a bomb on the railroad tracks, and even the devils and armored vehicles were blown up together.

There has never been a big official who shoots the devil in the air.

Therefore, Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou didn't even think about it from this aspect.

Li Yunlong also thought about it for an afternoon before he figured out this method.

As long as the plane on which the old devil was riding dropped to an altitude of 2,000 meters, several 37-mm anti-aircraft guns formed crossfire, and there was a high probability that it would be able to shoot it down.

Not to mention the fire network composed of 40 37mm anti-aircraft guns, the probability of shooting down the devil plane is even higher.

Zhao Gang even felt that this method was safer than letting him use a sniper rifle to snipe Gu Shoufu.

There is a high probability that the mission can be completed without sacrificing soldiers.

As for whether the task can be completed 100%, no one can guarantee this.

Moreover, there is no need to expose the mountain artillery and shells in Ugin Mountain, these mountain artillery and shells are to be used to make a fortune, and now they can not be used.

"Then do it!"

Wang Dehou nodded excitedly.

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement and said: "I suggest that in addition to the 40 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, pull 100 20-mm machine guns over, and 140 anti-aircraft fire points form a powerful firepower network, so that Gu Shoufu will not escape!" ”

Although the distance of 2300 meters is already far beyond the effective range of 20-mm guns.

However, this distance was still within the maximum range of the Erlikon 20 mm gun.

The maximum firing range of the Erlikon 20-mm cannon was more than 4000 meters.

The firepower of 100 Erlikon 20mm guns can no longer be considered whether the target is within effective range or not.

A rain of shells filled the sky!

"That's fine." Li Yunlong nodded.

With the current transport capacity of the new regiment, 100 20-mm machine guns were transported over and sprinkled with water.

Li Yunlong stared at the map and studied it for a while, and said: "Now the area of more than 30 kilometers in the north and south of Taiyuan City is the territory of the devil's heavy defense, and the position of our anti-aircraft guns can only be more than 30 kilometers close to Taiyuan, and the rest must be passed by mule and horse, so we must first let the sword squadron go to reconnoiter the route and position." ”

The M1939 37-mm anti-aircraft gun, weighing 2100 kg, or more than 2 tons, could be dragged along the horse track with a few mules or military horses.

It's just that there are not many horse roads in the mountainous area, so the sword squadron needs to go to reconnoiter in advance and determine the location of the ambush devil plane.
