Chicken Street, the front line.

Chicken Street is in the north of Fumin County and is the only way to enter Fumin. Because of the complex terrain around, if you don't go here, you will have to take a long detour or climb the mountains.

Cui Xiangkui also knew that Jijie was a strategic location, and immediately seized it after learning that the revolutionary army had entered Yunnan. And dispatched the most elite machine gun battalion, the 19th town machine gun battalion is usually stationed in Gan Haizi, east of Kunming, equipped with the world-class Makqin machine gun at that time, due to the high price, limited quantity, the battalion is directly under the jurisdiction of the town, it can be said that the old Cui pressed the bottom of the box.

Li Fenglou, the commander of the machine gun battalion, had a lot of experience, and after turning around, he chose a cliff to arrange a machine gun position. This cliff is in a strange location, with a side view of the upper part floating outward, and the lower part concave inside, in the shape of a boat, like a canopy. When viewed from above, it is roughly in the shape of a "(", with a sandwich road at the curved concave bottom, dividing the cliff into two halves. In front of the cliff is a flat area with only a few bushes, and 5oo meters away there is a very steep hill about 4o meters high. The road to the Rue de la Chicken, after bypassing the hills, must lead to a sandwich road in the middle of the Guò cliffs.

This is a wonderful location! The revolutionary army must pass through here, or they will go to the old forest, or go around for hundreds of miles.

Because the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau belongs to the karst terrain, this cliff is no exception, there are many natural caves on it, which makes Li Fenglou the most happy, just a little tidying up is a good bunker. Cui Xiangkui also gritted his teeth, pulled out more than 5o Makqin machine guns and arranged 4o here, and pulled out 32 guns from the artillery camp to build this cliff more than a kilometer wide and 2oo meters high into the main defensive position this time.

Cui Xiangkui and Li Fenglou were happy, and the revolutionary army was depressed.

Not long after the defensive positions of 19 towns were arranged, the revolutionary army rushed over. As a result, it suffered a small loss, and a sharp knife company that opened the way did not notice the famous hall on the cliff because of carelessness, and crashed headlong into the range of fire, and was strafed by a machine gun, and was beaten very badly, with one-third of the casualties.

Fortunately, the revolutionary army was well-trained, and the company commander saw that the momentum was not right, and quickly ordered a retreat behind the screen-like hill to stabilize his position.

When the large army arrived, the main leaders who received the report immediately climbed the hill to observe, and they were dumbfounded at first sight. Because the terrain of this position is so strange, the firepower of 19 towns completely sealed the intersection to death, and dozens of heavy machine guns and dozens of artillery pieces are not vegetarian.

And the hill on which they were located blocked the firepower of the 19 towns, but also the firepower of the revolutionary army. The hill was as steep as a screen, and the top was less than 15 meters wide, without even a tree, and it sloped to the other side of the cliff. Cannons and heavy machine guns simply can't be dragged up, and even if they are dismantled, they will be difficult to use in such a narrow place, and they will be completely exposed to enemy fire. Not to mention that the heavy firepower does not dare to go up, even the light infantry is the same, the strange terrain is completely a pit, and it is definitely how many people die when they go up.

Direct-fire artillery and machine guns did not work, so they tried with mortars, but most of the shells were blocked by the floating "canopy", and those that were not blocked could not hit the opponent's fire point. Gun grenades can be attacked from the anticline of hills, but they don't have enough range to reach targets up to 5 meters away.

After repeated attempts more than a dozen times and dozens of casualties, the revolutionary officers and men were really helpless at this time, and several major leaders scolded the terrain of Yunnan, but they could not think of any good way. Of course, it is also a way to fill with human lives as the Japanese do, but this kind of brain-dead behavior is absolutely not allowed in the revolutionary army.

In the end, they had to call for air support, because it would take too much time to make a detour or climb a mountain, and even more time to blow up a hill or tunnel, which they could not accept.

........................................................................

At 15:5o on June 6, the Air Force fleet reached the sky over Chicken Street.

The 6th Army had already made eye-catching markings on the ground with white and red cloths, and after seeing the group, several fighters fired several more shots at the cliff to indicate the target. The team leader shook his wings and signaled that he understood.

After the group rushed down, they were immediately dumbfounded.

"Damn, how do you blow up this place?" many pilots couldn't help but curse. Most of the Qing army's firepower points are on the vertical plane of the cliff, and there is a "canopy" on it, so it is not easy to bomb such a strange terrain. No wonder the 6th Army did not withdraw.

However, if it is not good to blow up, you have to try it, and several squadron leaders exchanged words in sign language and quickly made a decision. Sixteen aircraft of the 5th squadron dived.

The squadron leader aimed at a firing point and dived at a small angle, and when approaching the "canopy", dropped two bombs, and then pulled up the nose of the plane.

In the spotlight, the two bombs continued to fly towards the target at an angle slightly lower than that of the plane, relying on inertia.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

It's a near miss. One bomb fell 1o meters from the target, the other had a deviation of about 5 meters. It's a pity that those firing points are built using natural karst caves, and such a close miss will not hurt them, at most it will startle them.

However, it also shows that this method of bombing is still useful. As a result, the 15 planes behind also drew a scoop on the gourd, dived down and dropped bombs in turn.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Rumble...... Boom ......"

The Sparrow trainer has 6 hardpoints on one side, 4 hardpoints under the belly, and 1 under the wings on both sides. One 16omm bomb (42 kg) was hung at each belly hardpoint, and two 12omm bombs (16) were hung at each wing hardpoint. 5 kg). That is, each plane carried 8 bombs.

With 2 bombs dropped, a squadron can drop 32 bombs at a time. The results of the 5th squadron were not very good, only 2 bombs hit the target, everything else was deflected. This is also something that can't be helped, the Sparrow trainer does not have a bombing scope, and it is this kind of inertial bombing with high difficulty, which requires a lot of experience to do well, and the Air Force is still very immature, even those cyborg squadron leaders are only theoretically experienced.

Although the effect was not good, there was always one, and the other four squadrons also assigned their own targets, and rushed down in line to drop bombs in turn.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Rumble...... Boom ......" The cliff fortress suddenly burst into flames, and was soon enveloped in the smoke of the explosion.

Of the 16o bombs thrown by the 5 squadrons in the first wave of attacks, only 11 hit the target. Three bombs were hit in a cave, and the cannon inside was blown into parts, and the heavy machine gun in another cave was blown down a cliff and flew forty or fifty meters away.

"Come again......" After the smoke cleared, the leader of the first squadron rushed down again.

At this time, the defenders of 19 Town also reacted, although most of them had never seen an airplane, but since they were attacking themselves, it must be the enemy. They are not stupid, they have weapons at hand, and naturally they know what to do. They immediately raised their muzzles and muzzles and fired wildly at the planes in the air.

Dozens of chains of fire intertwined in the air, and one of the diving planes could not dodge, hitting more than a dozen bullets in succession, and the left wing was knocked off. The plane immediately fell crookedly.

"Jump now!" shouted the surrounding comrades.

But as if it hadn't heard, the plane continued to charge down toward a point of fire. Under the horrified gaze of the Qing army, the plane plunged headlong into the cave......

There was a loud bang ...... the cave, and the cave was completely destroyed.

"Idiot, why don't you parachute!" the squadron leader was furious, and he hurriedly ordered to pull up the height and not rush too low.

The angle of fire of the cliff fortress is not too good, after all, they did not think about air defense at all, and once the plane does not rush to a low altitude, they will not be able to hit.

However, in this way, the hit rate of the bombing dropped sharply. After 4 waves of attacks, only 25 fire points were destroyed, less than half.

The bombs were all gone, and now the planes were also able to do it, and they circled in the air a few times, so they had to go back in a daze. The remaining firepower can only rely on the airship troops behind.

.....................................................................

"Fuck, if only there were a machine gun...... In this case, there are no machine guns for bombs, and if we had machine guns on our planes, these bunkers would have been killed long ago......" On the way back, Jin Hai was indignant.

The co-pilot said: "The kind of bazooka of the 6th Army is not bad, but the range is too short, if you can increase the range and install it on the plane, it will definitely be better than a bomb......

Although there is no radio station on the current Sparrow plane, the crew intercom system is installed, and it is still possible to talk on the same plane. In fact, this is a copy of the intercom system of the tank crew of later generations, consisting of a laryngeal microphone and a headset, which is much simpler than the radio.

"Hey, look, Zhang Daniu's tail wing has been knocked off...... co-pilot said suddenly.

"Ah, this guy is unlucky, can he fly back?" Jin Hai saw that the tail of a plane in front of him on the left had fallen halfway, and he hurriedly leaned over and asked the other party with gestures if he could hold on.

The pilot, Zhang Daniu, smiled at him and made a "no problem" gesture.

It didn't take long for them to meet the airship unit that was rushing to the front line. The leader of the first squadron flew over and gestured to the leader airship, "Destroy some targets, and you still need to continue to attack......

In the wheelhouse of the No. 1 armed airship of the team leader, Lin Shenhe took a sip of coffee and chuckled: "Hehe, looking at the appearance of the sparrows, the results are not very good......

The communicator next to him said: "Deputy Commander Lin, the latest news came from the 6th Army just now, the planes have killed 25 enemy fire points, and there are still 44 left, and we need to continue to attack." The 6th Army reminded that because of the special terrain of the enemy's firepower points, the bombing effect is not good......"

"Hehe, I see. Our airship force isn't just about bombs. Lin Shenhe drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, and ordered: "Okay, order all boats, speed up, the 6th Army is waiting for our support." ”

"That's right, let the Qing army see the power of our airship troops!hahahaha......" Xie Jintai who came with him said excitedly.
