At first, when Huang He saw the falcon-like devil plane, he was still a little jealous, after all, this was the first time he had close contact with the enemy's bomber.

But the performance of Deputy Regiment Commander Han in leading the anti-aircraft artillery unit simply made his blood run high.

The fiery snakes launched from the ground like ropes caught the enemy planes in the sky. The intertwined firepower network in the sky made Xiaori Army Airlines explode brilliant sparks in the air.

Seeing this, Huang He already knew that the ending was decided, and while he moved the things in the laboratory to the car, he said to himself with emotion: "All the efforts are worth it, we will get stronger and stronger!" ”

This kind of exciting news quickly spread to the headquarters.

As soon as the devil plane entered the warning circle, the logistics department sent a message. This battle is involved in everyone's hearts, and everyone is nervously waiting for the result.

When a staff officer walked into the combat conference room with documents, the deputy commander-in-chief ran over and snatched the battle report from the opponent's hand.

After reading the ten lines at a glance, our great general trembled with excitement.

Although Li Yunlong had previously attacked Taiyuan Airport, he had killed more enemy planes than he did today.

However, the significance of these two events is different, because this is the first time that the Eighth Route Army has shot down enemy planes from the sky on a large scale, and in the future, the devils will certainly not dare to unscrupulously send reconnaissance planes to drill into the base areas.

"Let's take a look! Another unprecedented victory! ”

The deputy general staff officer was the first to receive the battle report, and he directly turned to the last page to check the results, and then passed it to the staff officers who were looking forward to it.

"I never expected that the battle loss ratio would be so beautiful, our newly established anti-aircraft artillery unit killed fifteen enemy planes at the cost of three artillery groups."

"It's really the first battle with me, with me I will win!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire combat conference room immediately burst into fierce applause. The deputy commander-in-chief also nodded and expressed his opinion.

"However, we still need to strengthen training and strive to equip each main regiment with an antiaircraft artillery company within the next year, so that even if there is no air force, the safety of the field troops can be guaranteed."

"Maybe one day in the future, you can see a ten-star anti-aircraft cannon!"

————

It turns out that the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.

Unlike the cheers of the logistics department of the Eighth Route Army, the news of the heavy losses of the army aviation made the headquarters of the First Army silent, and Yoshio Shinozuka came to the Qinxian Airport outside Taiyuan with a black face.

Knowing that His Excellency the Lieutenant General was going to inquire about the battle in person, Naoto Takamatsu briefly dealt with his injuries, and then went to the airport command center with the support of the ground crew.

Facing the lone seedling of the 29th Independent Flying Brigade, the old devil did not directly fight in a big fight, but chose to force his anger.

"What? Ambush? Just by virtue of the Eighth Route Army? How dare they? ”

Although the matter has become an established fact, Yoshio Shinozuka has always been reluctant to accept it.

Even if the infantry's light weapons were surpassed, their army was not known for firepower in the first place. Strong individual soldier quality and tactical coordination are the essence of small days, and weapons are not as good as the enemy can capture.

But if the air superiority is gone, it will crack directly.

As a lieutenant general of the North China Front, he remembered how his brother relied on bombers to bully the artillery regiment of the Jin Sui Army at that time. If the two levels are reversed, he would rather cut himself.

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head, putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind. The old devil stared at his sole survivor and asked in a somewhat trembling tone:

"Could it be that the Eighth Route Army also has fighters? What exactly did you encounter? ”

The devil pilot, whose head was wrapped in bandages and whose arms were wrapped in zongzong, did not dare to hesitate, he bowed his head and replied:

"We had just flown near our destination when we ran into an anti-aircraft artillery position hidden by the enemy. In my experience, the gunners of the Eighth Route Army are still very immature, but there are too many of them. ”

"At least three hundred anti-aircraft guns fired a salvo at us, and we lost six of our comrades in the first wave of attacks."

It is clear that Naoto Takamatsu exaggerated the number of anti-aircraft guns.

The failure of this attack had a lot to do with the error in the judgment of the bomber formation. But except for himself, all his teammates went to meet the locust, and even the people who were on the plane with him lost too much blood and died.

This devil was afraid that the commander would be angry, so he directly asked him to follow the pace of Asakawa Masa, so he lied.

"Three hundred?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's pupils shrank, and when he heard such outrageous figures, his first reaction was disbelief.

However, he knew Asakawa Zheng's ability to fight, and with his boldness and meticulous cooperation with excellent technology, he could basically fly the Type 97 fighter across North China. Such a fierce general was shattered, and he must have encountered a large number of anti-aircraft artillery.

What's more, the Eighth Route Army has not surprised itself once or twice, and no matter how unbelievable it is, you have to accept the reality.

Thinking that his two lovers would die one after another, Yoshio Shinozuka only felt very stuffy in his chest. All of a sudden, it was as if the sky had fallen, and it hurt! It hurts so much!

The old devil spat out a mouthful of blood, and before he fainted completely, he forced his breath and said to Kusunyama Hideyoshi beside him:

"Quick! Elect Kencho Okazaki! Let them brigade be careful! Nothing must happen to his troops! ”

After saying this, his head turned and he completely fainted.

The reason why Yoshio Shinozuka is so concerned about Kenaga Okazaki is because there is a tank squadron in this brigade. That's a precious armor force, as important as the Army Aviation.

The tanks of the small days are far inferior to the powerful countries of Europe and the United States in terms of size and technology.

In the Battle of Nomenkan, the armored troops were beaten by the torrent of steel in the first generation. But even such industrial garbage can definitely be rampant on the battlefield of the Republic of China with low firepower density.

Although the quality and quantity are not very good, I have to admit that the tactical aspect is not bad.

In the Battle of Nanchang, Okamura Ninji once gathered hundreds of tanks to attack. This kind of armored cluster blitzkrieg was a year earlier than Sandezi.

After the sweep of the First Army began, the Okazaki brigade moved north along the Nakajo Mountains and advanced along the road through Changzhi towards the base area southeast of Jin.

When Yoshio Shinozuka received a telegram from the Yamazaki Brigade, the old devil immediately contacted Kencho Okazaki. The opposing team's closest is also the most mobile, and it is the best choice for support.

At this time, the location of this motorized unit was still 70 kilometers away from Wuxiang County.

All the soldiers didn't know that their own army aviation had been wiped out under the anti-aircraft artillery, and they were still dreaming of destroying the Eighth Route Army Arsenal in an air-to-ground manner.

Suddenly, a staff officer with a radio on his back came to Kencho Okazaki. With a serious face, he reported the order he had just received.

"Your Excellency! News came from the headquarters that the 29th Independent Flying Squadron had been completely wiped out! ”

"Our mission has changed, and the chief of staff has asked the troops to stop advancing. Immediately join up with the Takamura Brigade of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, and then wait for the next arrangement. ”

"Lieutenant General Shinozuka specially reminds you that you must be careful of the anti-tank units of the Eighth Route Army."

Hearing this unbelievable words, Kencho Okazaki subconsciously looked at his watch. Less than an hour had passed since they received the order for support.

"Nani!?"

"A brigade, a flying team is gone? And so fast? Are we really fighting the Eighth Route Army? ”

Originally, Kencho Okazaki did not believe that the enemy had anti-tank weapons, but after hearing that sixteen planes had been shot down, he subconsciously shrunk his neck.

can take out so many planes, the other side must have anti-aircraft artillery.

Thinking of the Eighth Route Army's recent large number of weapons reequipped with Gallic chickens, he immediately remembered the Hatch Kaisi 25mm anti-aircraft gun.

That's the father of the younger brother 96 type 25 high-angle machine gun, and the effect of shooting at ground targets is quite good. And the weapon is very versatile, and it can be sprayed at tanks and infantry on wheels.

The most outrageous thing is that the initial velocity is not low, and the kinetic energy is considered the top in the same level of weapons, which is very unprofessional.

Look at your own small and exquisite combat vehicles, the thickness of the armor is 6~12 mm.

If the Eighth Route Army really had Hatch Kais's anti-aircraft guns, they would not even have to go around to the side to blow up all their tank squadrons, and they would not run at this time and wait for when.

Just as he was about to give the order, ten 25×109mm anti-tank shells were fired from 700 meters away, and three of the ten Type 95 light combat vehicles in the team immediately lay on their stomachs!

A tank crew climbed out of a tank, his face covered in blood and flesh, and shouted at Ken Okazaki:

"The commander is unconscious! The driver is killed! Engine damage! We can't move! ”

————

Before the devil's sweep officially began, the intelligence officers and underground workers at the headquarters were staring at the area around Zhongtiao Mountain.

It's all Yoshio Shinozuka's trump card, there are three divisions of the enemy, and there are also armored troops. If the First Army wants to attack the southeast region of Jinjin in a big way, it will definitely use the forces there.

In order to cope with the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, the brigade commander assigned the ten anti-tank guns that had just arrived to the independent regiment and the new regiment defending along the road.

Although Ding and Kong coordinated skillfully in attacking and defending, they were still the backbone regiments in essence, and the strength of the artillery was insufficient.

With this in mind, the thin staff officer lent them the artillery of the brigade headquarters by the way, so that the troops could better manipulate the new weapons.

After receiving the order, the independent regiment and the new regiment immediately set out from Wuxiang.

The strongholds along the Yulu Highway were cleaned up in the second phase of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, and at this time the devils had not yet rebuilt the pillboxes and turrets, and the two regiments were unimpeded on the road without encountering any enemies.

They went all the way south, and after two reconnaissance before and after, they found a suitable ambush site.

If the enemy's tanks want to cut deep into the base area, they must take the road. There is a winding mountain road between Changzhi and Wuxiang, which is a must-pass place for devils.

The climbing degree of the 95-style light battle is 30~40, and with the help of sappers, it will definitely be no problem to pass.

When the enemy came down from the winding road, the tanks were not fast enough, and they were very suitable for attack. In terms of coordination, a large number of mines pinned down the infantry, and the new regiment and the independent regiment basically left and fought as they wanted.

After two days of waiting, the Okazaki brigade finally appeared.

At the front of the line were two three-jumpers and a Type 97 truck, followed by a large number of infantry and tanks.

Through the binoculars, Ding and Kong saw grenadiers, heavy machine guns, and Type 92 infantry guns, all of which were very conventional weapons except tanks.

Before the large army descended the mountain, the devils in the car immediately began to strafe at random with crooked handles.

Fortunately, the ambush location of the fighters was relatively far away, and except for a few unlucky soldiers who were shot, it was generally painless.

When all the tanks appeared, the fighters began to maneuver the SA34 anti-tank gun. This weapon is very low, and with a width of 1.05 meters, it is not too well concealed in the grass.

Hu Xuexian, the commander of the artillery battalion supported by the brigade headquarters, is a high-end technical talent, and his father originally wanted to send him to Sandezi to learn machinery, but by chance he learned artillery.

Seeing the enemy enter the predetermined ambush circle, Kong Jie shouted with a portable communicator: "Open the cannon!" ”

The next thing that happened was chopsticks poking tofu.

The penetration depth of the 25-mm anti-tank gun in Hatch is very good, 29 mm at 500 meters, and 22 mm at 1,000 meters.

However, this weapon has a disadvantage, that is, it can only shoot armor-piercing bullets, at most tracer armor-piercing bullets. To some extent, high-explosive shells are the first choice for fighting devil tanks.

Even if the artillery bombardment was 700 meters away, it was still too much to fight in the light battle of the 95th Five-Year Plan.

Over-wearing does not mean that there is no lethality, only one shot and two eyes.

After the armor-piercing projectile penetrates the enemy's tank, it will bring a part of the armor and the armor-piercing body itself into the hull, and there is a certain probability of producing high-temperature and high-speed metal fragments.

If you're lucky enough or skilled enough to hit a fuel tank or ammo rack, you've won the jackpot. Enemy tanks will blow up a no-man's land in the infantry group.

As the chief artilleryman of the brigade headquarters, Hu Xuexian's armor-piercing bullet hit a tank firmly, and he said excitedly: "Harbin! Yes! Hair loss! ”

As soon as he said this, all the nearby soldiers were stunned.

Harbin? What's that? Isn't that a city in the Northeast? What is hair loss? Isn't it normal to lose your hair?

As if thinking of something, Hu Xuexian explained to his comrades while continuing to load: "I haven't used an anti-tank gun for a long time, and when I was excited, I said the foreign language I learned when I was in school. ”

"Harbin means hitting the target, and yes hair loss is well done."

The fighters did not have a short time to get into contact with the new anti-tank guns, and the amount of training was not enough. This is the first time to hit a moving target, so the results of the first round are not ideal.

But there is nothing that can't be solved by the dosage, and if one shot is not enough, ten rounds will come.

The 25-mm shell was already very light, only 317 grams. Coupled with the presence of a semi-automatic bolt, a rate of fire of ten rounds per minute can be fired by beginners.

As a squatting artifact, this anti-tank gun also has a flame suppression device, which makes the concealment to a higher level. The comrades fought three rounds before the devils of the Okazaki brigade found the positions of the new regiment and the independent regiment.

When they were about to spread out to find cover and start engaging the enemy, they stepped on the minefield carefully arranged by Kong Jie.

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, in the face of the small counteroffensive force that the enemy had managed to organize, the hidden 12 60-mm mortars immediately opened fire.

With an order from the two company commanders, the gunners let go of their hands hanging from the barrels and let the shells slide to the bottom.

Immediately afterwards, he calmly took the next shot, and a steady stream of shells flew towards the devil's queue.

Explosions continued to rise in the crowd of devils, and since the opponent's position was still concentrated, the damage caused was very ideal. Accompanied by armor-piercing shells flying by from time to time, the scene was not lively.

After successfully destroying all the tanks, the two regiments withdrew in an orderly manner.

Although this position is suitable for ambushes, the width of the battlefield is not enough. They have a numerical advantage, so there's no need to stumble here.

There is still a long way to go from here to Wuxiang, and Ding and Kong have time to play with the Okazaki team.

After the retreat of the Eighth Route Army, the staff officers of the Okazaki Brigade wanted to cry without tears.

Nakazo was split into N by an anti-tank armor-piercing projectile in his own house, and now he doesn't even have a whole corpse. He looked at the wreckage of the tank in confusion, and involuntarily sighed:

"Did you stay in the mountains for too long? How did the world get so fast? ”

"In the Republic of China, the troops of the preserved fruit are the main force, how do you feel that the Eighth Route Army is more fierce than the Fourth Army on Zhongtiao Mountain?"

，

Changed for good, changed for good! Everyone's empty ears should be the same.
