"Captain, let me do this attack first."

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, I have no less training for today."

"What's more, I'm the person with the highest hit rate of dive bombs in our entire Air First Division. Use me in the first battle! Use me to win! ”

The task was extremely difficult, as the pilots not only had to fly at ultra-low altitudes, but also had to throw bombs into a fixed area on the city walls.

Once the wrong flight route is chosen, after the bombs are dropped, the fighter will definitely not have time to pull up. When the time comes, the bombed city wall will turn into a board wall.

But Fang Ziyi's situation is very special, in a sense, he is a warrior born for ground attacks.

The aviation of the World War II period, when using unguided homing missiles, did not have a high hit rate as expected.

Even the most elite Stuka formation in Germany can only maintain a hit rate of about 70%, which is still the data during the blitzkrieg against Poland.

Horizontal bombing will be less effective, and if you want to destroy targets in a certain area, you will have to use massive carpet bombing.

The main problem is that attackers can't aim accurately. Even if there is a corresponding and matching sight, it does not necessarily reduce the circular probability error of the airborne weapon.

The destruction of the USS Arizona by a bomb requires not only strength but also luck, and there is almost no possibility of replication.

There are a total of five types of aerial bombs commonly used by the 1st Air Force Division at this stage, and although they have different weights and powers, all of them are high-resistance aerial bombs.

This leads to the fact that the fighters are hit by meteorological factors. Especially on windy days, the efficiency of the Air Force's ground support is extremely poor.

But even under such difficult conditions, Fang Ziyi's bomb hit rate is still amazingly high.

Take the Japanese treasure Red Sun Rocket, which is loved by the whole army, as an example, its accuracy can definitely be regarded as the level of the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers compared with the future juniors.

If you put it in a game, it is estimated that a walk is not much better than a secondary artillery flow monkey.

According to statistics, in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the 1st Air Division needed to consume an average of 30 rockets to attack a moving ground unit before it could hit the target once.

This is still under the premise of a shallow dive of 20 degrees and a close launch.

But Fang Ziyi seemed to be a big version ahead of his comrades, and his hit rate was 30% higher than the average data of the whole division.

Without the assistance of professional sights and computers, such a record and hit rate are demonic existences, and the whole person seems to have his own ballistic calculator.

This is why the six combat heroes are extremely optimistic about Fang Ziyi.

After thinking for a while, Captain Wang Hai said in the communication channel:

"Okay, the siege debut is up to you. I have only one request, and all actions are based on safety. ”

"If you find that there is a problem with the angle of the cut halfway, you must immediately throw away the bomb and climb the altitude again, and do not force yourself. The commander-in-chief still gave us plenty of time, so if we couldn't do it, we would try a few more rounds. ”

"Let's go! Good luck! “

After getting permission from his own captain, Fang Ziyi slowly pushed the rod, causing the fighter to continue to descend in altitude.

In this operation, he did not fly his comrade's Spitfire, but chose the Hurricane he was most familiar with, after all, it is taboo to change clothes before the war.

The hand on the altimeter slowly swings to the left, gradually changing from 4000 to 1700.

When there was only one kilometer left in Taiyuan City, the Hurricane fighter numbered 192 quickly dived downward, not giving the devils on the city wall a moment to react at all.

Fang Ziyi only felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be concentrated in his legs in an instant.

However, the feeling of walking on the tip of a knife made him extremely excited, and he almost had a few more anti-aircraft guns to help the atmosphere team.

The fighter got closer and closer to the city walls and the ground, as if it would crash in the next second.

If you are an ordinary pilot, you may choose to give up the action because you can't bear the strong visual impact and psychological pressure at the moment of entering a fast dive.

On the ground, the soldiers of the Southern Group were staring intently at the friendly forces above.

Although the vast majority of people did not know who was piloting the fighter jet, they all prayed silently in their hearts for the unknown warrior, hoping that the other party would return safely.

At this time, Fang Ziyi's eyes only had the city wall, as if time had stood still.

Now is the most critical time, and attention must be kept high. Any superfluous operation will make you fall into a place of no return.

After reaching the limit safe altitude, he pressed the bomb drop button.

The moment the bomb was thrown out, even the weight of the fighter jet was a little lighter.

Fang Ziyi took the opportunity to retract the throttle valve, and at the same time pulled the lever with all his might. Because of the excessive force, his expression looked a little hideous.

"Up!"

"Good brother! Hurry up and fly! ”

As if hearing the call of his comrades, the Hurricane fighter cocked its nose and began to climb a hundred meters from the city walls.

It is worth mentioning that the enemy on the city walls did not panic because of the sudden air strike.

Under the leadership of their respective commanders, the devils actually began to counterattack with the 38 big covers and light and heavy machine guns in their hands. I really don't know if it's the effect of bushido's brainwashing, or if the ignorant are fearless.

After turning the corner, Fang Ziyi relaxed a lot, and was even in the mood to ridicule the enemy.

"It's a pity, I was only concerned with maneuvering the plane just now, if only I could use an aviation machine gun to get a few rounds."

"Bushido? It's just the courage of the horseman. My homework at the Aviation Academy in the Border Region is more difficult than killing you. ”

Although intelligence indicates that the First Army does not have large-scale anti-aircraft weapons.

But he was still on high alert, keeping a zigzag as he climbed in case anything unexpected happened.

It is always wrong to be cautious, after all, the current altitude is still within the effective range of the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

A few seconds later, two modified 227-kilogram bombs, with a piercing sound of blade rotation, maintained a 45-degree angle and smashed straight towards the city wall.

It was only at this time that the devils of the First Army knew that doom was about to befall them.

"Click×2!"

The steel bars, with aerial bombs, were smoothly inserted into the city wall.

"Boom!"

The first one exploded, and the southern city wall of Taiyuan was suddenly shrouded in black smoke, and the originally solid wall was blasted out of a big hole.

The power of the 227-kilogram aerial bomb made the organization of the defenders clear in an instant. Those devils who were relatively close to the center of the explosion point were even coughing up blood by the shock wave.

Flesh and blood can't resist the power of technology.

"Boom!"

The second bomb exploded immediately afterward, and the two blast points were only 30 meters apart, and the city walls were already in danger.

Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, Fang Ziyi pushed the throttle valve to climb rapidly, and the flight trajectory of the Hurricane fighter was quite a bit of a dry land plucking onion.

Obviously, the devils don't want to let the culprit go. On the rooftops of the city, several machine-gun emplacements opened fire in unison.

It's a pity that the maximum effective range of the Type 92 heavy machine gun is not enough, maybe 2,700 meters is a trench for infantry, but the Hurricane's combat effectiveness only takes more than ten seconds to reach a safe height.

Those incompetent and furious heavy machine guns are like salutes to welcome guests.

What's more, the Hurricane is a metal structure fuselage, and there are bulletproof steel plates on the belly.

Compared with the small crispy skin of the Type 97 fighter, the defense capability can be described as defying the sky.

After the distance between the two sides exceeded a thousand meters, the bullets of the Type 92 heavy machine gun did not pose a threat at all, and at most left a few bullet marks on the fuselage.

“192！ Please reply when you receive it! ”

"How's your state? Are there any injuries? I saw you were hit, can you turn back? ”

After hearing his captain's inquiry, Fang Ziyi replied while checking.

All the instruments on the instrument panel were not abnormal, and the warning lights did not flash, indicating that the key parts of the aircraft were intact, and there was a high probability that the wings or tail were rubbed by the Type 92 heavy machine gun a few times.

"Captain, I'm not hurt, and the plane is fine."

"I'm ready to return now, replenish the bombs and then return to the battlefield."

After hearing Fang Ziyi's angry voice, Captain Wang Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief. The attack just now was too thrilling from his point of view.

In the event of an accident, the other party will not even have the opportunity to skydive.

If his subordinates die in front of his eyes, he will definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Just as Captain Wang Hai was about to reply, a deafening explosion was heard in the direction of the Eastern Group's attack, which even the two people in the sky could hear.

"Good! Go fast and go back quickly. ”

"It's not big enough now, we have to do a few more rounds."

"There seems to be a harvest in the east, be careful that Wang Tianbao and Jiang Daoping have robbed you of your first credit."

······

Group South, field command post.

After an hour of wanton bombardment, 19 large holes were blown out of the east and west walls of Taiyuan, and only one more blasting by the sappers was needed to open up the passage into the city.

It's not that Iwamatsu Yoshio didn't think of sending someone to block the opening, but the fighters of the 1st Air Division didn't give him any chance at all. In the mode of rotational combat, rushing to repair the fortifications is to let the infantry and sappers die in vain.

Looking at the tattered city walls, the brigade commander smiled at me.

The battle has basically been declared victorious so far, and even the weapons of the law of cause and effect cannot save the First Army.

"Report to the commander-in-chief that the pillboxes, bunkers, firing points, barbed wire, deer barricades and mines on the outskirts of Taiyuan have been cleared."

"The four groups are ready for battle according to the original plan! All the 10 breakthrough points demarcated before the war have been opened by our army. ”

"Is it possible to launch a general attack, please instruct!"

Hearing the question of the thin chief of staff, the brigade commander put down the telescope in his hand.

At present, the biggest obstacle to the siege of the 129th Division has been brutally swept away by the 1st Air Division, and the task of the next stage is to break through the moat.

After the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, Yoshio Shinozuka not only built a group of fortifications around the city, but also transformed a moat with a width of nine meters and a depth of three meters on the basis of the moat of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

It's a pity that Japan is a small country after all, and has never seen much of the world.

Even if the old devil could build the size of the moat to one-tenth of Xiangyang, the 129th Division would not have the slightest idea of fighting Taiyuan.

"Pass my orders! The two major groups in the east and south attacked at the same time! ”

"I'm going to let Yoshio Iwamatsu know today that if there are many people, you can do whatever you want!"

"Order the artillery, give me a bang on the wall! If any devil dares to stop the advance of our infantry, send them to see their own locusts. ”

With the brigade commander's order, the loud charge horn sounded over the positions of the East and South Groups.

Under the cover of more than 300 M1897 75mm cannons, the fighters launched a group charge towards Taiyuan City.

For the First Army, which lacked heavy weapons, it was simply impossible to keep the Eighth Route Army out of the city walls.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to a large number of infantry and artillery, more than 3,000 engineers participated in the breakthrough.

Under the cover of artillery and the 1st Air Division, the two engineer regiments quickly removed all kinds of residual obstacles beyond the moat.

They also carried a variety of river crossing equipment such as reed bridges, loose-leaf bridges, ladder bridges, and ladders, and were ready to help the infantry cross the river.

These tools are inseparable from the strong support of the people of Shanxi.

After being oppressed by the little devils for so many years, as soon as they heard that the Eighth Route Army needed to use reeds to fight Taiyuan, the villagers invariably sent more than 500 carts that day, almost pulling out the banks of the Fen River.

After the general assault began, it took only half an hour for the infantry and sappers to rush to the moat.

Faced with the river more than two meters deep, the commander of the engineering regiment took the lead and rushed into it with the equipment for crossing the river.

"Get out of the way! I'll come first! ”

"The comrades in the back keep up, and no one will be left behind!"

"Even if we die in the river today, we must let all the infantry rush over!"

"It'× 1337!"

After the deafening roar, the soldiers of the whole regiment did not hesitate at all, and jumped into the river with the pontoon bridge in order to ensure that the friendly troops could successfully assault.

Although the three artillery regiments were at full fire, they gave enough fire support. But there are still some devils who are forced by their superiors to take up arms and try to fight back.

During the bridge crossing, the Eighth Route Army had little power to fight back.

Naturally, the enemy will not let go of such a good opportunity.

In the face of the attack of bullets and grenadiers, from time to time an infantry was hit and fell into the river. The casualties of the sappers were also not optimistic, but they always gritted their teeth and carried the pontoon bridge on their shoulders.

The river water is gradually stained red with blood.

Under this situation, the pace of the soldiers crossing the river is getting faster and faster, and everyone is holding a fire in their hearts.

All comrades understand one thing, if you want to protect your comrades, you must rush into the city, so that the devils have no chance to threaten the follow-up troops.

With the coordinated operation of our army's multiple arms and the extended fire of powerful artillery fire, the soldiers of a brigade of the southern group soon came to the gap in the city wall.

After fixed-point blasting, several large holes of tens of meters were blown open.

As the main force of the 129th Division, the 386th Brigade rushed to the forefront without giving up.

The comrades were not afraid of sacrifice and rushed into the city of Taiyuan to establish a bridgehead for the follow-up fraternal troops.

As soon as the infantry entered the city, the artillerymen temporarily stopped shelling.

The situation in the city is complicated, and no one can guarantee that there are civilians in any building.

If you want to avoid accidental injuries and even support the infantry, then the artillery must enter the city, which means that the soldiers need manpower to carry the artillery over long distances.

A moment later, the three artillery commanders of the Southern Group came together to the operational command room, and they slapped on the table the letters of determination and guarantees jointly written by the soldiers of each regiment.

"Commander-in-chief! Our artillery is also going to enter the city! ”

"The enemy has set up a large number of fire points in the city of Taiyuan, and mortars and 40 fires alone are definitely not enough, and the infantry will definitely suffer heavy losses without fire support."

"We promise not to be left behind, even if we don't have horses or trucks, we will keep up with the big army!"

"Good! Let's go! ”

Hey, life is not easy, cats sigh
