Chapter 340, Air Combat.
"Yes!" Yun Qichang saluted Jiang Qiang, then quickly turned around and commanded the troops to spread out the formation and build an air defense position on the spot. Jiang Qiang turned his head to look at Pang Bingxun and said, "Commander Pang! The group of devil bombers will arrive in half an hour at most, so evacuate the crowd quickly! The little devil's plane won't be long-eyed for a while! ”
"What, is the devil plane coming? Good! Good! Someone, notify immediately, the little devil bomber is coming! Pang Bingxun subconsciously looked up at the sky, but he could see the slightest sign, but this kind of thing is naturally rather credible than not, even if the evacuation order is issued! Commander Jiang, thank you very much for leading your troops to relieve the siege, and please lead your brothers into the city to rest for a while! Let me enter the friendship of the landlords! ”
Immediately afterwards, Pang Bingxun invited Jiang Qiang and others to go into the city to avoid the devil's plane, and by the way, invited Jiang Qiang to sit down for tea and chat, no matter what, there is still a need for face work. "Then thank you Commander Pang for your hospitality!" Jiang Qiang was also polite, and followed Huzi and others into the city, while the main force was temporarily scattered and hidden outside the city, and did not follow into Philadelphia! Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~ At this moment, Rizhao County, Ju County, Yishui County and other places sounded a sharp air defense siren one after another!
After suffering losses many times, the little devil naval aviation regiment did not dare to swagger through the airspace of Jiaoxian, Zhucheng, Gaomi County, and Anqiu County, so this detour cut in from the south of Rizhao County, and then went straight to Fei County! However, it is obvious that these small actions have long been in the calculations of Jiang Qiang and others. "Attention gun emplacements! The devil's plane will pass by here in two minutes, and I will be full fire in a while, and I will hit it hard! ”
More than 30 anti-aircraft guns arrived in the southern suburbs of Rizhao County as early as half an hour, and under the key care of the air defense radar, the trajectory of the devil's aircraft group was naturally clear and clear! Buzzing, sure enough, two minutes later, there was a motor humming sound in the sky, and when you looked into the sky, you could clearly see that there were a group of small black dots in the sky flying rapidly from east to west. "Delay the fuze for 12-16 seconds! Preparation! Fire! ”
The antiaircraft artillery units, which had been preparing for a long time, let out an earth-shattering roar one after another, and one after another caliber ammunition soared into the sky, and even in broad daylight, one after another could see the flashes of fire. The 76 mm anti-aircraft gun, with a muzzle velocity of 1,000 meters per second and an altitude of 10 kilometers, is enough to cope with all the mainstream aircraft in the world at present! Boom, boom, boom, 20 shells exploded in the air one after another, turning into countless high-speed bursts of shrapnel, turning the surrounding area into a forbidden place of death within a few hundred meters!
Clanging, at least ten Devil planes were hit by shrapnel in this wave of fire, two of them were seriously damaged, and smoke began to rise from the fuselage! "Well done! Keep going, don't stop! Put! "Boom!"
With the order of the commander of the air defense force, a new round of anti-aircraft artillery fire roared out again, and this time it directly hit three devil planes! The devil's plane was blown up as soon as it hit and turned into a rain of flowers!
In fact, the efficiency of early anti-aircraft artillery was very low, for example, during the Battle of Britain in World War II, the British air defense forces used 4,200 rounds of large and medium-caliber anti-aircraft artillery shells to shoot down a German aircraft, and the air defense cost of these anti-aircraft guns and shells was probably several times the cost of shooting down the aircraft. The main reason for this period was the anti-aircraft artillery anti-aircraft operations of this period, which usually used shells with a trigger fuse installed, and the shells fired by the anti-aircraft guns, which could explode only if they hit the aircraft.
In the early days, the rate of fire of anti-aircraft guns was still relatively slow, and it was naturally very difficult to accurately and directly hit a high-speed aircraft, because this was a very unrealistic small probability event, which led to the low efficiency of air defense operations. Therefore, in order to increase the efficiency of striking enemy aircraft, the best way is to let large and medium-caliber antiaircraft shells explode near enemy planes, and use shrapnel in the sky to kill and damage enemy planes.
The bomber flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters, which was very small from the ground, and it was difficult to observe, let alone hit accurately. Therefore, the most effective tactic is to use multiple anti-aircraft guns to fire at the airspace through which the enemy aircraft passes through the flight path, and by delaying the fuse, the shells explode at a predetermined height, forming a barrage of smoke clouds, fragments and shock waves within a certain range. The anti-aircraft shells purchased by Jiang Qiang are all mechanical time fuses, and its principle of action is similar to that of an alarm clock, using a set of tightened clockwork devices to time, when the spring rotates to a predetermined time, it releases the firing needle to strike the fire cap and detonate the shell.
The time fuze can be set between 2~30 seconds, and by accurately setting the detonation time, multiple shells can be detonated at different heights at the same time, thereby expanding the killing range. Anti-aircraft shells with a time fuse have significantly stronger anti-aircraft efficiency than those with a fuse. The devil planes ran very fast, and the first air defense interception position only had time to blast out four rounds of concentrated fire, shooting down 6 devil planes, and these devil planes disappeared without a trace!
However, not long after these devil planes rushed through the air defense interception positions were happy, the air defense positions located in Ju County began to exert their might again! The same recipe, the same taste, the devil fleet once again paid a heavy price for 5 planes. Buzz, half an hour later, the devil group finally came to the sky above Fei County, but where can you still see a huge number of tank armored regiments and transport convoys at this time?
Half an hour's warning time was enough for the Jiaodong Group Army to use the terrain, woods, and camouflage to disperse and hide. "Yaga! Bomb the county seat of Fei County! "After losing the idea of bombing the target, the commander of the extremely unwilling devil air formation can only retreat and take the county seat of Fei County as a punching bag!
Chirp, and then one after another high-explosive aerial bombs fell from the sky without money, bombing the scene of Fei County, which had been bombed several times a long time ago. "Delay the fuse for 10-14 seconds! Preparation! Fire! "Just when the devil group was circling and bombing over Fei County, more than 10 twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns hidden in the crops outside the city suddenly opened fire fiercely, and the dense anti-aircraft shells went straight into the sky without money!
More than 30 shells continued to explode at high altitude, and countless metal shrapnel shot wildly, forming a death radius!
The little devil group didn't expect Yang Fan to play the trick of attacking backwards, and 7 planes were blown up in an instant without being caught off-guard, and there were three planes with smoke coming out of the backs! "Baga Yalu, damn Huaxia pig, go die!" While the three devil planes were falling rapidly, they actually rushed to the air defense position crookedly. "Quick, fight those three devil planes!" "Dog's day! If you want to fish to die, there is no way to break the net! ”
Seeing that the murderous devil plane was about to blow itself up, the anti-aircraft machine gun crew of the air defense force hurriedly pointed its guns at the three rapidly falling devil planes and fired wildly! Clusters of 12.7×99 mm caliber ammunition roared in the air, blocking the airspace diagonally above the air defense position.
Dangdang, dozens of warheads successively penetrated the Devil bomber that rushed to the front, directly smashing the Devil pilot into pieces. Boom, the devil bomber, which lost its operation, fell to the ground headlong, and with a bang, it turned into a fireball of thick smoke! Immediately afterwards, the ammunition inside exploded one after another, and a series of explosions turned the surrounding area into ruins, and the huge land was trembling! "Kill the pretty! Go on! ”
After knocking out one plane, the anti-aircraft machine gun crew turned its guns again and fired at another rapidly falling devil plane. "Not good! Evacuate! However, time was running out, and when I saw the two devil planes colliding straight ahead, dozens of officers and soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery position broke away from their positions one after another and fled in all directions! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the front foot ran more than 20 meters away, the devil bomber fell headlong, and the violent explosions continued one after another, turning a large area of crops into ashes at once, and several anti-aircraft guns were blown into parts and twisted! "Ah, Commander Jiang, your anti-aircraft artillery is so powerful? Can you really knock down the little devil's plane? "yes, that's amazing! In the past, we only had to be bombed when we encountered devil planes, where could we shoot down a devil plane! ”
"The Jiaodong Military Region is really extraordinary!" "Haha, so relieved! The devil planes were shot down by a whole ten at once! ”
After receiving the air defense warning, most people hid in bunkers, but there were still many people who dared to look up at the sky, including Pang Bingxun, Sun Zhen and others, because they knew that the Jiaodong Group Army had anti-aircraft artillery, and their strong curiosity drove them to take a look. When Pang Bingxun and other high-ranking officials were lying in the window and saw that the devil plane was shot down ten in the blink of an eye, everyone gasped, and they only felt that their eyes were opened all of a sudden, it turned out that there was such a powerful anti-aircraft gun!
"Hey, hey! It's just an appetizer! The best is yet to come! Jiang Qiang smiled indifferently, calculating the time, it was time for his Flying Tigers to arrive at the scene. Sure enough, as soon as Yang Fan's words fell, there was a motor humming sound from the northeast! "Ah, no, the devil plane is here again!" "Quick, hidden!"
"This gang of dogs, this hasn't been blown up yet, and another group is coming! Is there any end to it? "At this time, all the officers and soldiers of the Pang Legion naturally couldn't guess that the new group of planes was not a devil plane, but the Flying Tigers of the Jiaodong Group Army!" Haha, the brothers are getting to work! Hit me hard! Don't be polite to me! ”
Li Jinglin once again drove the No. 001 Mustang fighter to the forefront, and as soon as he entered the battlefield, he fired wildly at the nearest devil escort fighter! The four 20mm cannons instantly erupted tongues of fire, and a string of caliber ammunition unreasonably beat the devil fighter into a sieve, and then exploded with a bang! The other 15 Mustang fighters also showed no weakness, and as soon as they entered the field, they opened fire with full firepower, giving priority to attacking the escort fighters of the devils.
Thinking of the role of air combat and air supremacy in the future, Yang Fan not only spent all his wealth points, but also used a large number of silver dollars, and forcibly held back a strong lineup of 16 fighters! It is also thanks to the establishment and good operation of the Gaomi Bank now, Yang Fan has earned a large amount of gold and silver currency, otherwise he can only eat the old capital at the bottom of the box!
"Yaga! How can there be so many fighters in the Huaxia Pig fighter? The bombers still ran out of all the bombs and immediately returned home, escorting the fighters to cover the retreat! "Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander of the devil could not care about bombing ground targets, and hurriedly ordered a retreat." Yaga! Huaxia pigs, all die! ”
In fact, there is no need to command, and the escort devil fighter group has already begun to fight with the Huaxia fighters desperately. Due to the lessons learned from the last air battle, there are more than 30 devil escort fighters this time, twice the number of the Flying Tigers, and it is really impossible to tell the difference between victory and defeat for a while and a half.
"Ah, Commander Jiang, is the plane that just arrived yours?" Watching the devil planes fall from the sky, Pang Bingxun was directly dumbfounded, even if he was stupid, he could see that the later fighters were his own people! Ma Fawu also showed a dead look and said, "Commander Jiang, do you really have an air force?" And so powerful? ”
"yes, it's incredible! Commander Jiang, how did you do it? Shen Ke and the others were shocked, tanks, airplanes, and anti-aircraft guns are all top-notch military equipment, even the lowest grade can not be bought with money alone! And these tanks, planes, and anti-aircraft guns that Jiang Qiang showed were obviously extremely high-end, more than one or two levels higher than the little devil's aircraft and tanks!
Jiang Qiang pretended to be forced to nod and smiled: "That's right, it's the Flying Tigers of our Jiaodong Group Army who came!" Today is the second time I have fought against the Devil Air Force! "Ahh That's amazing! "That's amazing!"
Hearing this, the eyes of Pang Bingxun and the others began to change, and there was no longer the previous envy, jealousy, hatred and unpleasantness, but instead of deep awe and fiery! This is like an ordinary person, seeing that his relatives, friends, colleagues and even passers-by around him are richer than him and have a nourishing life, he will inevitably not feel jealous! However, as an ordinary person, it is difficult to envy and hate top rich people such as Bill Gates, Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, etc., because of the worlds of desperate level gap, directly erase the desire to be higher and lower than one!
"Oh my God! It turned out to be our plane? I'm not dazzled, am I? "Haha, that's great, we even have fighter jets in the war?" "It's so relieving! Kill those bitchy little devils! "yes, on our heads all day, and now I've finally met my nemesis, haha!"
As the devil planes fell from the sky one by one, everyone gradually understood, and they came out of the bunkers and hiding places to watch the excitement! And this time and space battle was extremely fierce, and the 16 fighters of the Flying Tigers took advantage of the advantage of fast speed and sufficient firepower to dive and bombard back and forth, and shot down several devil fighters one after another!
The more than 20 surviving devil fighters did not show weakness, and they were completely desperate to die with the Flying Tigers, making the Flying Tigers in danger! "Not good! Is that when our plane was shot down? Under the desperate attack of the devils, the two Mustang fighters were seriously damaged one after another, and clouds of smoke came out of the fuselage, and the plane began to stagger and fall down.
Immediately afterwards, the two Mustang fighters ejected one pilot one after another, and the parachute was quickly opened, and the two pilots began to land slowly! "Yaga! Dead, dead, dead! "Huaxia pig die!"
The Japanese devils finally destroyed two fighter planes, and before they had time to be happy, they saw the pilot parachuting, where were they willing to watch them land and escape? So several devil fighters immediately turned their noses and rushed murderously towards the two Huaxia pilots who were landing!
Under the Geneva Convention, it was inhumane to shoot at shipwrecks or pilots who had parachuted, because they were unarmed at that time. In addition, it is very difficult to train pilots, and the value is even higher than that of fighter planes, and countries naturally do not want to lose easily. So the countries negotiated not to attack the parachute pilot, and signed the agreement, after all, the pilot lost the plane and no longer had much attack power, and everyone was happy to accept it.
And once you can capture the enemy pilot, you can also make some exchanges with the enemy, after all, the value of the living pilot is still quite high, so as to exchange your own important hostages or meet some strategic needs. But during World War II, Japan was the country that did not abide by international treaties the most, and in the Pacific War, the Japanese killed many American and Australian pilots, and even took pride in killing Soviet pilots!
In order to take revenge, Su Meiao captured Japanese prisoners of war, including pilots, and went on a killing spree, causing Japan to have a shortage of pilots for a long time and suffered a lot. "Intercept immediately! Fire cover! ”
Li Jinglin saw that these little devils were shamelessly chasing and killing their parachuting comrades, and immediately ordered the other team members to intercept them, and then pulled the joystick and rushed towards a devil fighter plane diagonally below. "Little devil! Die! "After pulling in the distance at the fastest speed, Wang Liguo pressed the fire control switch, and a string of caliber ammunition roared out!" Yaga! ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the little devil pilot could only abandon the target and quickly turn his head to dodge. Clanging, the moment the little devil fighter completed the turn, the fuselage was punched out of a few holes, and it was almost directly beaten into a sieve! "Little devil! Let's talk about grandpa first! Wei Lei also quickly killed at this time, and rushed at full speed towards a devil fighter who was chasing and killing the parachuted pilot. Bang bang bang, the machine gun spewed angry tongues of fire, and the latter came first to cover the little devil fighter.
In the flash of light, I heard a dull metal impact, and the little devil fighter was directly beaten into a sieve, and the devil pilot inside even punched out several fist-sized blood holes, and died before he could howl miserably! The out-of-control devil fighter is like a kite with a broken string, with a long smoke trailing on its buttocks, and it falls to the ground crookedly and explodes into a fireball!
"Yaga! The Sakai team is in charge of the break! The rest of the fighters will return immediately! After some entanglement, the little devil bomber group has all been evacuated, and at this time, seeing that the performance of the Huaxia fighters is far superior to his own, the devil squadron leader immediately decided to withdraw from the battlefield!
Because the leader of the devil squadron knows very well that it is pointless to continue to fight hard, even if he can destroy four or five more Huaxia fighters in the bloody battle on his side! In addition, this is the home field of China, Chinese pilots can parachute to escape, but Japanese pilots can't escape, and if they continue to fight, they will only lose their money!
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" "Great Japanese Empire onboard!"
The 3 devil fighters left behind the break seemed to go crazy, and while firing with full firepower, they collided with the nearest Huaxia fighter regardless of it! "What a bunch of crazy people these devils are! Everyone be careful, dodge and avoid, don't pee on the bed again at dawn! ”
Li Jinglin didn't want to be a martyr at a young age, so when he saw the devil bumping into him, he hurriedly pulled up the fighter and narrowly missed the devil fighter who came to fight hard! One man is desperately invincible, not to mention that there are still three devil fighters, the little devils are like headless flies and fire indiscriminately, and the Flying Tigers are in a hurry at once, and several planes are not lightly damaged, and they are almost destroyed and killed! "Everybody! Return now! ”
Li Jinglin and the others worked hard for a while, and finally killed these three devil fighters, and at this time, the other devil planes were gone! "Boss, I've embarrassed you! Today, the word shot down two devil planes and they were beaten down! "The chief seat, the lowly combat is not effective, and the plane is lost! Please also take a seat to punish you! ”
After Zhu Zhencheng and Han Kangfeng were rescued by parachuting, they were taken to Jiang Qiang as soon as possible, and the two of them blushed and lowered their heads, as if they were elementary school students who had done something wrong! Jiang Qiang walked up and patted the shoulders of the two, and said with a smile:
"Haha, if the plane drops, it will fall, as long as the person is fine! You have done a good job today, only the merits have not been faulted, go back and recuperate first! Liu Qiang, arrange for someone to send them back to Qixia County first! "There are only 16 fighters in the entire Flying Tigers, and two of them were destroyed at once today, and this loss is indeed not small! However, today's Flying Tigers' air combat record is already very extreme, shooting down more than a dozen devil fighters, and only 2 fighters have been damaged!
What's more, the two pilots also got out safely, which is the greatest wealth! "Commander Jiang, your army is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! Admire! Admire! Looking at the two pilots who went away, Pang Bingxun's heart was extremely uneasy, seeing was believing and hearing was false, and he was completely convinced!
"Captain Pang has a good reputation!" Jiang Qiang smiled indifferently, and then said: "Commander Pang, the main force of the devils is now retreating to hold their positions, and it is not appropriate for us to start a frontal decisive battle against the Japanese army!" I suggest that your unit take charge of the rest and repair fortifications first, and our army will first grab back the lost land such as Shiqiaozhuang Village and Dawa Village, and drive the little devils back to Zou County! ”
"Good! Good! Then there is Commander Lao Jiang! Ha ha! Pang Bingxun nodded and laughed, originally the task given by Shangfeng was to stick to Fei County as much as possible, instead of fighting a counterattack and annihilation war, and the devil would not come to attack in the middle of the attack!" Why should we divide each other in the War of Resistance and defend the land! By the way, I also brought an engineer regiment this time to assist your army in building fortifications! ”
The most suitable tactic for the Jiaodong Army now is to defend and counterattack, anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle, and if you strengthen the fortifications more, it will be easier to defend in the future! "Brothers, let's go, since we're here, we can't go home empty-handed!" "Haha, brothers are waiting for the teacher's words!" "Yes, the brothers of the Flying Tigers had a good time just now, and we haven't opened meat yet!"
At this time, Yun Qichang had already reassembled his troops, and the officers and men of the 13th Brigade and the armored tank regiment who received the order to continue the offensive were all screaming with excitement. Soon the troops were drawn again, and the troops were divided into two roads and pointed directly at Shiqiaozhuang Village and Dawa Village! At this time, the 28th and 43rd regiments, which set off later and were still on foot, had only walked a short and half distance, and they had to walk for at least five or six hours!
