In fact......

The 88 gun was also flawed......

There are pros and cons to everything.

The first is bulky.

The total weight is a full five tons.

Someone else's American-made 105mm howitzer is only two tons!

Because of the need to fire at all angles, the 88 gun was designed with a rotating gun mount.

All steel structures.

The girders are very thick.

With such a huge weight, it is destined to move, which is very difficult.

Don't say it's on the ground in China. Even in the European theater, this guy is also a bulky master. The Germans couldn't figure it out on their own.

If the enemy is coming, the only way is to abandon the cannon and flee.

The second is that the goal is too obvious.

Because it is an anti-aircraft gun with a huge base, it is very high.

It is twice as tall as a normal gun carriage. Or even twice.

If it's a plain area, you can see it from several kilometers away. It can be seen with the naked eye.

Unless it's digging a deep pit to hide it. Otherwise, the enemy would have discovered it long ago.

For example, now, the Japanese invaders in the stronghold of the riding tuyere can be seen clearly.

If not without a camera, they would even be able to take pictures.

A staff officer was carefully describing the various characteristics of this terrible cannon to his superiors......

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

Another bunker was blown up.

However, there were no dead people.

Because all the hidden bunkers that could be targeted directly, the devils have withdrawn.

All the devils retreated to the bunker on the other side of the stronghold. This makes it possible to avoid direct avoidance.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

88 guns continued to fire.

Destroy all the bunkers on the side of the colony. But there is another side.

You can't hit it with a straight aim.

It is also impossible to aim indirectly. 88 guns can only be aimed at directly.

What to do?

Start the drive, transfer the 88 guns?

Frankly speaking, Zhang Chu has little confidence. This thing looks very difficult to move.

If you get stuck in the dirt, it's over.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to move it to the other side.

There's no way, if you don't move, you can't destroy the bunker on the other side. There are still remnants of the Japanese invaders.

"A few more people!"

Zhang Chu shouted loudly.

What kind of crane or something, definitely not. However, manpower is unlimited.

More than fifty Hercules were concentrated. All of them are burly and powerful. Everyone worked together to prepare to move the 88 guns.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Over there, of course, mortars continue to bombard.

Make sure that the Japanese can't shoot a single shot.

Start by putting away the gun carriage.

Enter the march.

Start the truck at the same time.

Connect.

"One, two, three!"

"One, two, three!"

Everyone shouted the trumpet together and worked hard to complete the loading and unloading.

Traction.

Zhang Chu drove the car himself.

He only has a C1 driver's license. But there were no traffic police in this era......

After turning off the engine countless times, the truck was finally able to move smoothly.

Pull.

Luckily, it hasn't rained lately and the ground is very dry.

Although the 88 gun is very heavy. But it can barely be pulled. It's just very slow. It took more than an hour to move 1,000 or a hundred meters.

It is to move from one side of the stronghold of the riding outlet to the other.

"Ni Dong!"

Zhang Chu suddenly shouted.

But suddenly I saw a clear sky and no clouds, which was very suitable for Japanese planes to sort.

I've been tossing around here for so long, maybe the Japanese planes will come and bomb me.

Although the 88 gun itself was an anti-aircraft gun......

But in the face of airplanes, it's really useless.

With only one anti-aircraft gun, how can it beat so many planes of the Japanese invaders?

"Here!"

Ni Dong hurriedly replied.

He was sweating. It was all done with the gun carriage just now.

He felt that there should be a more scientific approach. It doesn't have to be that hard. Maybe Zhang Chu made a mistake......

Fifty strong men, all of them were pressed and hummed, how could this be the case with standard operations......

"Organize anti-aircraft fire!"

"Yes!"

Ni Dong agreed. Then he was dumbfounded.

Anti-aircraft fire?

Where do I go to find anti-aircraft weapons?

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, three drop boxes fell.

Immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside it must have been the anti-aircraft machine gun that didn't run away.

Unboxing ......

Sure enough, each drop box contained ten Soviet-made DshK Deshka heavy machine guns.

Hurriedly assembled.

Then anti-aircraft positions were erected around the 88 guns.

"Boom!"

88 guns again began firing.

Of course, the target is the Japanese Bunker on the other side.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang.

Dusty.

Another bunker was destroyed.

All the Japanese criminals hidden inside were blown to pieces.

There is no way back for them.

There is no way to avoid it.

Only wait for death.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Continuous shelling.

Keep destroying bunkers.

Some bunkers are not visible. But it doesn't matter.

Zhang Chu fired directly at Xiaoshan Bao.

Whether there is a bunker or not, greet it with cannonballs first.

It is not impossible to blow up the entire hill directly flat......

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The shelling continued.

The remnants of the Japanese in the stronghold lived like a year.

They are all well aware that their end has come.

Even if Amaterasu came in person, there was no way to save them.

What to do?

Only to launch an onboard charge, a hundred.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

"Onboard!"

The Japanese Emperor gave an order. The remnants of the Japanese invaders jumped out of the stronghold and launched a suicidal charge.

Then, Nakasa quickly realizes that he was wrong.

There are ...... on the dirt eight roads

Anti-aircraft machine guns!

"Click......

"Click......

The Japanese planes did not come.

So all the anti-aircraft machine guns fired at the Japanese invaders.

That's amazing.

At a distance of several hundred meters, they can all shatter the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese who committed suicide were greeted by a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun. That scene, not to mention how lively (bloody) it was......

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

At the same time, mortars began to fire.

Soon, the last Japanese was also killed. The Eighth Route Army successfully occupied the stronghold.

However, at this moment, the stronghold of riding the wind outlet is already in ruins. There is not a single intact building at all. Even if it's a dark bunker, it's broken.

All of them were blown up by 88 guns.

From the beginning of the battle to the present, a total of 88 shells were fired from 120 guns.

For a small stronghold, every shell has to blow a big hole. The whole hill is almost full of holes.

Reclaim.

Not very valuable. There were only more than thirty grenadier canisters. It's okay.

The most valuable thing is the command knife of the Japanese Emperor Nakasa. Million. That's exactly how much it costs to upgrade an 88 gun.

Zhang Chu looked up at the sky.

The Japanese plane is still not moving?

There's no reason for that!

At least make a show......

At least come out and have a look......

Otherwise, I'm shameless.

Oh, it's not that I don't have face. It's 88 guns that don't have face.

He's got it all figured out.

If the Japanese planes attacked, they used the 88 guns as bait to attract the fire of the Japanese planes, and then used anti-aircraft machine guns to shoot down the Japanese planes.

An 88 gun, worth three million.

A Japanese plane, worth five million.

As long as you shoot down a Japanese plane, the account is worth it.

If the Japanese planes did not destroy the 88 guns, then pull it to attack Rong County.

Maybe another county seat will be created......

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of warning gunshots.

Look up. Sure enough, it was a Japanese plane. But there is only one.

Oh, reconnaissance aircraft.

The Japanese sent a reconnaissance plane to check what was going on.

"Get on the gun position!"

Zhang Chu immediately called.

Acting should be realistic.

Let the Japanese planes know that this is a real cannon! It's not fake!

"Bang!"

88 guns opened fire on Japanese planes.

Of course, it didn't work.

A single anti-aircraft gun has no deterrent effect on aircraft at all.

But you can let the Japanese pilots confirm that this is a very powerful artillery. Attention must be paid to it.

Report ......

Report ......

Sure enough, the Japanese pilots reported to Taiyuan what they had detected.

The stronghold of the Riding Wind Outlet has been occupied by the Dirt Eighth Road.

Outside the stronghold, there was indeed a huge anti-aircraft gun. There are also two trucks next to it.

"Yo Xi ......"

"Order the aviation, destroy it at once!"

Yoshio Shinozuka gave a decisive order.

In the plain area, the artillery of the Dirt Eighth Road was caught. Still want to run?

Chief of Staff Saburo Saito stopped talking.

But on the Cangyunling side, there is also an emergency military situation.

Tsuchihachi launched a general attack on the Matsui Wing. The battle was fierce.

Matsui had already ordered the burning of the wing flag.

It can be seen how dangerous the situation is!

If there is no support from the air force, the Matsui Wing is afraid that it will not last a day.

The end result is another wing of jade.

However, the appearance of the heavy artillery of the Dirt Eighth Road near the Riding Wind Outlet is also a nuisance if it is not destroyed in time.

Who knows where this cannon will go?

The most feared thing is that the opportunity is fleeting.

If the dirt road hides it, it will be more troublesome.

So the herald was given.

"Saito-kun, the direction of Cangyunling ......"

The commander of the flight division, Lieutenant General Keno Maruyama, expressed doubts.

This is regardless of Matsui United?

The 5th Flying Division under his command consisted of just over a hundred aircraft.

It is simply impossible to take care of so many directions.

Now the direction of Cangyunling needs to be supported, the direction of Fanxian County is supported, and the direction of Ping'an County is supported, and it has long been overwhelmed.

The Japanese army aviation practiced a lean strategy, and the number of pilots was not large.

Because of the presence of naval red deer, the number of aircraft of the army aviation, is seriously insufficient.

Moreover, the 5th Flying Division had little status.

The Japanese air force had two key operational directions.

One is Central China. Support the 11th Army in combat. The number of aircraft exceeds 500 units. The main task was to bomb Chongqing.

One is Manchuria. Support the Kwantung Army in operations. The number of aircraft exceeds 1000 units. The elite of army aviation is over there. The main thing is against the Soviets.

In last year's Battle of Nomenkan, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses and always wanted revenge.

North China has never been the focus of the Army Air Force. So, the aircraft is very poorly equipped.

The direction of Taiyuan is even more secondary.

Even, even the number of aircraft equipped at Yuncheng Airport is more than that of Taiyuan.

Because the planes taking off from Yuncheng Airport can also support the operation in central Henan. It can also threaten Shaanxi. Threatens Yan'an and other places.

"This is the order of the commander......"

"Okay......"

Keno Maruyama agreed.

He ordered the take-off of three bombers. There are also three fighters. Go to the Riding Outlet Stronghold.

That's all he can muster.

He felt that it should be enough to use so many planes to deal with one cannon of the Dirt Eighth Road.

However......

See you tomorrow
