Chapter 324: The Night Attack Begins in the Sky
Brigade Commander Wu Qiujian of the Supplementary Brigade of the 88th Division really felt that he was an eye-opener.
In the phrase "the night attack begins in the air", he knew why Hansen gave himself all the affairs of the night.
I saw the second lieutenant named Hansen, leading a team of people to drag out a roll of things out of nowhere, and then began to assemble them in the dark.
Then a big black triangular thing was assembled, and the second lieutenant Hansen got underneath it, not knowing what he was up to.
A moment later, there was a sound of a motorcycle engine, but it was a strange sound, much quieter than a normal motorcycle. An exhaust cylinder with a sound-attenuating structure, of course, will reduce the sound.
Then a gust of wind blew, and the triangular thing with only a small frame and a satin cover on the outside actually flew up.
"Oh my God, what is that thing that can fly people up."
Under Wu Qiujian's exclamation, the delta wing flew into the black sky without any danger.
In addition to his own equipment, Hansen also brought an additional flare gun. It's a hassle to shoot and reload, but the commander said that even tracer eggs are not as good as flare guns against those balloons.
For Zhang Sixing's orders, Hansen has always strictly implemented. The only thing that made him a little sad was that Zhang Sixing also ordered him.
"If you have an accident and run away, towards Niushou Mountain, the devil shouldn't care much. If you can't escape, you are allowed to surrender, but all the equipment is burned for Lao Tzu, and nothing can be left for the devil. ”
Driving the delta wing into the sky, Hansen knew the danger of flying alone at night, but Zhang Sixing had to lead the other nineteen delta wings to carry out a night attack on the Japanese position.
Two battalions of the paratrooper school were dispatched, and the reconnaissance company and the logistics battalion also carried gasoline barrels and cannons on flat shoulders, and about 1,700 people were stationed along the way.
On the other side were three reconnaissance battalions of the 88th Division, about 2,000 men, who were the main force of the attack. However, it could only be entered after bombing and shelling, and Zhang Sixing equipped all the night raiding troops with a new weapon.
Shortly after Hansen went out, several Kong Ming lanterns rose into the sky. It's just that during the ascent, the lampshade is covered with a black cloth, and no light can be seen from the outside.
This is, of course, for the needs of night navigation, but it is a bit dangerous during the take-off phase. And after it really lifts off, it doesn't matter if the Japanese bomb it with heavy artillery.
It just so happened that Zhang Sixing could lead the team to fly over and set a fire to them from the sky.
Hansen's mission was to poke the eyes of the Japanese artillerymen - the balloons that floated in the sky and played the role of aerial lights at night.
Lao Tzu is so lucky, those guys are all lit up at night.
Compared to Zhang Sixing, who used Kong Ming lanterns to navigate behind, Hansen felt that he was lucky.
At least at this time, he only needs to look at the Japanese school-shot balloon to roughly know his height. And the delta wing is relatively slower and safer.
It is always much faster to move from the air than from the ground. After flying for a few kilometers, Hansen spotted the balloons swaying in the wind like flirtatious gray rags in the night.
He turned around and flew towards a balloon, but he was soon spotted by Japanese artillery observers on duty at the balloon.
"Woohoo"
The flash of pistol firing looks like a cannon battle in the night sky,
Southern-style pistol, I heard the commander say that that kind of pistol is difficult to even commit suicide. If the skull is a little harder, the bullet will not be able to penetrate. It's really a little Japan, and it's not even good to imitate it.
For this level of resistance, how could an aggressive cowboy like Hansen let go. Lift the HP90 short assault rifle on your chest, and raise your hand to spray a string of silent bullets.
Damn little devils, take a pistol and Lao Tzu's short comparison, and see how Lao Tzu trains you.
Just as he muttered, a strong flash of light flashed by. It was a Japanese artillery observer on the balloon, shining a searchlight on him to interfere with his impending attack.
Bastard, asshole......
Hansen reached out to block the light of the searchlight, and then the joystick pulled, and the delta wing flew upwards.
From above, the huge balloon is really a good target. He took out his flare gun and raised his hand towards the huge balloon which was a red signal egg.
I watched as the balloon began to burn, starting with a small hole, but with the hydrogen leaking, a larger flame began to burn.
"Be careful, hydrogen mixed with air may explode, so if it's you, I'll light the other party's balloon and leave quickly."
With Zhang Sixing's words in mind, Hansen manipulated the delta wing to shoot balloons at the other school.
At this time, he was dozens of meters higher than the height of the school-fired balloons, and because of the angle, the Japanese on the school-shot balloon could not attack him with a gun.
Of course, the searchlight could not reach him, and only the observers in the distant balloon used the searchlight to look for him in the air.
But it didn't matter anymore, with the work they were looking for, Hansen could have fired another flare and burned the other balloon into a big fireball.
This time he saw the artillery spotter on the balloon, and when he felt that the balloon was rapidly descending, he threw everything on the balloon that could be thrown away, regardless of whether it would kill or burn the Japanese soldiers below.
As Hansen took out the artillery balloons floating in the air one by one, the "eyes" that stopped the ground troops from advancing finally lost their effect.
At this time, Zhang Sixing had already flown with his men to the ground troops, which were about to launch an attack, and the position held by a Japanese squadron was overhead.
His eyes were fixed on the ground, which was so dark that it was almost impossible to distinguish the squares that had been separated by barbed wire. Unfortunately, even his falcon-like eyes could not penetrate the darkness of the night.
"Huh"
Out of nowhere, a flare suddenly appears on the ground, pointing right at them preparing to attack a Japanese camp.
It was a sniper scout conducting an urgent reconnaissance, and they had just fired a flare, and the sound of grenadiers was already being heard in the Japanese barracks.
"Po"
The flare lights up in the sky above the flare that has just been fired, illuminating the place where the flare has just been fired.
Hopefully they're all gone, and they won't be stupidly waiting for a grenade, but it doesn't matter if they're about to have a fever anyway.
In the moment before the bomb was dropped, Zhang Sixing looked at the artillery balloons that were still burning and falling down one by one in the distance, and carefully observed the position of the Japanese 114th Division by the light of the fires in the air.
To put it simply, it's a circular front.
Generally speaking, this trench line is used as a means of defense, especially in the event of a siege. However, the 114th Division actually established such a defensive line under the offensive posture and used it for self-protection at night.
In addition, the core position is equipped with artillery positions, and the command post should be the core of the entire division.
"Second team, here is the captain of the first team, do you see the core of the circular defense line?"
