Since the air defense sirens could not distinguish between the types of enemy planes, even if only one reconnaissance plane came, the citizens in Luoyang City would panic.

Among the fleeing crowds, there are several retrograde figures that are particularly conspicuous.

The soldiers, either by manpower or by animal power, moved one anti-aircraft gun and anti-aircraft machine gun after another from their hiding places to preset positions with good firing ranges.

The types of anti-aircraft artillery are also varied, which completely explains what is called made in all countries.

One of the most eye-catching is naturally the four major Hua Dan in the small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery, they are Surothong, Erikon, Breda and Madsen.

In the anti-aircraft system of the preserved fruit, the 20-mm anti-aircraft gun has always played a great role, which can be called the protector at close range.

In addition to this, there were two 37-mm anti-aircraft guns to support the field.

The first was the Flak 18 37mm anti-aircraft gun developed by Rheinmetall in 1935, which was an anti-aircraft weapon purchased by the bald head from Santoku that year.

Although it is 37mm and made in Germany, it is not the kind of hand-pulled machine that even the Swordfish can't beat.

In terms of power, the weapon is very aggressive. Even in the face of the devil's ninety-seven heavy explosion, as long as the opponent unfortunately takes a shot, he will either die or be disabled, and he can be fatal with one blow.

The other, even more heavyweight, is the famous Soviet-made M1939 Type 37 mm anti-aircraft gun.

Originally, the weapon was new, and was not on the Beard's aid list.

But considering that the southwestern capital was often bombed, the bald head imported thirty gates with his own cheekiness, and Makarov was still in charge of the transportation.

All of these new weapons were assigned to important cities for defense, and Luoyang just happened to be equipped with one.

Let's switch the perspective to the positions of Soviet-made 37-mm anti-aircraft guns.

When the Type 97 fighter of the Devil Army Aviation appeared over the city and was about to launch a bombardment, the squad leader of the artillery squad immediately shouted: "Enemy attack!" Everybody's on fire! ”

After receiving the order from their squad leader, the seven fighters took their positions.

A 37 gun needs eight people to operate together, of which the squad leader is responsible for commanding, and using a one-meter air-to-air rangefinder, the target parameters are reported to the three or four gunners.

The first gunner was responsible for aiming in the direction of the artillery on the right side, and the second gunner was responsible for high and low aiming on the left, and it was also his job to fire by pedaling.

The third gunner is responsible for setting the oblique distance of the target, the fourth gunner is mainly responsible for the course and speed of the target, and the fifth gunner is responsible for pressing the shell into the loader and returning the shell.

The task of the six or seven gunners was to transport shells to the five gunners.

Due to the fact that the soldiers had not been in contact with the new weapons for a long time, everyone was not familiar with the 37 guns, and even the number of reports after the guns was put on was counted from one to seven.

"I think the number should be 1,3,7,6,4,2,5, if there is a big guy who has shot 37 shots, please correct it."

When everyone saw the figure of the enemy plane, the entire artillery crew immediately began to move.

Second gunner: "Where are the enemy planes?" ”

Squad leader: "Three o'clock!" Height 4,002! Five thousand and one away! ”

First Gunner: "Caught!" ”

The Soviet-made 37-mm anti-aircraft gun had a horizontal maximum firing range of 9,500 meters, and a practical maximum firing height of 3,000 meters.

The advantage of anti-aircraft artillery lies in concealment and firepower, and the current altitude of enemy aircraft has exceeded the firing height, and rash fire has no effect except exposing the target.

The entire artillery crew held their breath and waited patiently for the best time to get off to a good start.

"Where are enemy planes?"

"Nine o'clock! Height three thousand eight! The distance is four thousand three! ”

"Caught!"

This time, the distance was closer, but the height was still not enough. All eyes are on the target, waiting for the next opportunity.

The squad leader was a little anxious when the second gunner's performance made him a little anxious, and he took advantage of the fact that the Type 97 fighter had finished dropping bombs and re-selected the target, grabbed the position of the second gunner, and handed the rangefinder in his hand to the other party.

"Mother-in-law and mother-in-law all day long, how do you look like a soldier!"

"The bomber flew high and couldn't hit. The fighter flew too fast to hit. When you find the right opportunity to open fire, Luoyang City will be blown up! ”

Although the squad leader's actions were a little rude, the original second gunner did not complain at all, and the two quickly switched positions.

The devil's Type 97 fighter circled in the air for a few seconds, and finally chose a densely populated location and began to dive.

At this time, both the range and the height of the shot reached the standard, and the squad leader of the artillery squad did not hesitate to press the pedal continuously. In the originally blue sky, traces of tracer bullets immediately appeared.

The sudden cannonballs were like cheetahs in predation, and they pounced on enemy planes with lightning speed.

The plane entered the range of the anti-aircraft guns without knowing it, and it only had to test the shooting skills of the artillerymen. The fighters were of a good level and luck, and the fourth shell hit the target.

"Well played! Keep locking on to new goals! ”

"Good!"

When antiaircraft guns are engaged in air defense operations, they generally form an air defense system composed of multiple guns, and attack enemy planes from multiple directions to form an artillery network.

In Luoyang City, there are a total of 17 anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns of various calibers.

In the face of more than 30 enemy planes like locusts, the fighters' anti-aircraft firepower fell in the air. Moreover, after the devil lost a plane, he began to avoid the battle, vaguely with the intention of flying south of the city.

Seeing the civilians fall under the enemy's aviation machine guns and aerial bombs, all the members of the artillery crew were red-eyed, and the squad leader of the 37 gun even took out the signal gun on his waist.

"Shoot all the flares! Tell these sons of bitch, we're here! ”

"Aren't they self-proclaimed samurai! Then we'll challenge these beasts! ”

Shout! A red flare lifts into the air!

In just half a minute, the rest of the antiaircraft artillery positions responded to this call without hesitation.

······

The perspective switches to the Devil's air formation, and the bombing mission is carried out by the 17th Flying Team of the Army Aviation of the Central China Front.

Looking down from the sky, the Yellow River flowing across the land of China looks like a sleeping dragon. Although I can't see how the river is surging, the magnificent momentum has already come to my face.

"Shinkawa-kun, are the enemy's fighter planes really as terrifying as Lieutenant General Kinoshita said?"

"As a sane military man, it is difficult for me to associate the words Air Force and Tsuhachi Road. But the battle damage and data are already in front of us, and it is too contradictory. ”

Hearing the words of Takashi Misawa Nakasa, Yoshima Shinkawa fell into deep thought.

For him, the three days of fighting were very unreal, as if he had been in a dream.

When they arrived in Xinxiang, Henan Province from Manchuria, their flying team consisted of 36 pilots. But in just one battle, the entire formation was left with itself.

As if thinking of the nightmarish fighter, Yoshima Shinkawa shuddered. He picked up the communicator in front of him and said to the new commander:

"Misawa Nakasa, please be sure to face up to your opponent, we have already paid a terrible price for our contempt."

"I'm from the Kwantung Army, and I once fought against Maozi in the north. Compared with the planes of the Eighth Route Army, Yi 15 and 16 are not even qualified to carry shoes for them. ”

"If you see a Spitfire with the number 079, be sure to keep your distance! The pilot of that fighter is not a human at all, a terrifying demon! ”

The advice from the bottom of his heart made Misawa realize the seriousness of the matter.

However, as an army lieutenant, he knows how important morale is before a combat mission. After thinking for a moment, the old devil said in the communication channel of the whole body:

"Gentlemen, this time our target is the headquarters of the First Theater of the Republic of China. There are neither fighter cruises nor patches of anti-aircraft fire nets there! ”

"Next! Let's pour out our fury! Blow up everything in sight! ”

The words of the self-master's commander cheered up all the pilots. was pressed to the ground and rubbed for three days, and everyone was on fire. You can't fight a hard battle, and you can't pick up some soft persimmons.

"Hey!"

"We're going to drop the bomb right in the crowd! Blow them to pieces! ”

"I'll charge some interest this time! Sooner or later, one day we will be ashamed! ”

For the next few minutes, the 17th Flying Team was discussing tactics. At a distance of a hundred kilometers from Luoyang, the entire crew entered a state of radio silence.

was beaten several times, and the devil has a more or less long memory.

Half an hour later, 36 Type 97 fighters entered the sky over Luoyang City again.

Looking at the panicked inhabitants on the ground, all the pilots smiled evilly, as if the devils had seen the raging fire and wailing everywhere.

Misawa Takashi also learned from his previous experience, even though the probability of the Eighth Route Army's air force appearing was very small, he still left a four-plane formation to be on guard.

"Attack!"

Thirty-two fighters began to dive, dropping four 25-kilogram bombs under the belly into important construction areas. Then they began to strafe at low altitudes, and the people on the ground fell like wheat.

Suddenly, a Type 97 fighter was blown up in the air and turned into a fireball.

The M1939-mm 3-mm anti-aircraft gun, when firing high-explosive armor-piercing shells, could penetrate a steel plate 500 mm thick at a firing range of 46 meters.

Such a depth of penetration can be destroyed even by a ninety-seven heavy explosion, let alone a ninety-seven fighter with thin skin and big stuffing.

Faced with a sudden attack, Misawa kicked the rudder in anger.

Originally, he wanted to teach these anti-aircraft artillery some lessons, but when he thought of his lieutenant general's advice, he could only suppress his anger and said in the communication channel:

"Pull away, those anti-aircraft guns can't hit far. The city is huge, and everyone attacks from a different angle. ”

"For us, every fighter is important. All meaningless consumption should be avoided as much as possible. ”

At present, the Third Flight Group has reached the point of exhaustion, and Kinoshita Toshita is eager to break each plane in half. This mission is just to let the Eighth Route Army throw a rat trap, and there is no need to fight to the end with the AA people.

But just as the devils were about to pull up the height and maneuver to leave, a red signal flare suddenly rose on the ground. In just half a minute, more than a dozen red signals came one after another.

This situation made the communication channel explode. In the face of such a provocation, even Misawa Guizhi was a little impatient.

"Shinkawa-kun, do you see it? There are flares! ”

"Your Excellency Zhongzuo, it should be the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery, these people of the Republic of China are simply committing suicide."

Considering the existence of the subordinate behavior in the army, Misawa Takazhi hesitated for a moment and gave the order to return fire.

"Then fulfill these people who are not afraid of death! With the exception of the formation responsible for the vigilance, all crews attacked at the same time! The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and he makes me serious! ”

It hasn't been updated in the early morning.,Try to change it before 12 o'clock in the future.。 Have you noticed that I've been working hard lately?

Ask for a monthly pass!
