Both sides have prepared everything.
The two commanders, Yoshio Shinozuka and Kong Jie, were both full of confidence.
Time flew by for an hour and a half.
The Japs Command issued an order, and the Japs, who were already waiting at the airport for the flight team, flew fighter jets, bombers, and reconnaissance planes in a unique combat formation toward the base of the Independence Regiment.
More than twenty minutes later, the huge roar of the Japanese aircraft engine was heard in the sky above the Independence Regiment's base area.
Nowadays, the air defense construction in the independent regiment base has been increasingly improved.
The high-erected air defense observation towers have 24-hour vigilance soldiers looking into the sky with binoculars at any time to beware of incoming Japanese planes.
There are seven or eight of these high-erected observation towers.
Each tower is more than 500 meters apart. Once a Japanese aircraft is detected nearby, the guard post on the observatory will immediately communicate with military flags.
Then through multiple observation towers, the information is transmitted at the speed of light and quickly transmitted to the interior of the base area.
This speed is much faster than the Japanese plane.
At this time, the flying speed of Japanese aircraft, even the best Zero aircraft, was only about 540 kilometers per hour, which was only about 150 meters per second.
Therefore, the air defense warning within the independent regiment's base area can basically lead the Japanese aircraft by about one minute, and sometimes it can even gain two or three minutes of preparation time.
At the base of the Independent Regiment, soldiers and civilians have been conducting air defense drills for a long time. What is required is that all personnel must move to the nearest air defense fortification within 30 seconds.
Dang Dang Dang——
The anti-aircraft warning sentry sounded the anti-aircraft hand bell in more than one place.
The loud ringtone spread quickly.
In the detachment headquarters, just a few minutes ago, Kong Jie had expressed his prediction.
"Based on the false information passed by the War Ignorance Bureau, plus the recent investigations by the Japanese spies lurking inside our base area.
I think the specific locations of the various fake military buildings we built in the base area have already been communicated to the Japanese military headquarters. "
"If I were that old devil Shinozuka Yoshio, when I sent troops to raid Dafengzhuang, I would definitely choose to send flying teams to bomb the opponent."
"Strive to provide some cover in the chaos for the ultimate goal of raiding Dafengzhuang."
When the air defense siren rang, Xu Guoan's expression changed slightly: "Old Kong, you are really right."
Kong Jie had a smile on his face, "Don't talk about this, let's go into the air-raid shelter first."
For such an important military location as the detachment headquarters, it is natural that air defense measures have already been taken. The air raid shelter is even underground a few steps outside the hospital.
Yu Yong, deputy commander of the guard company, rushed into the house with several guard soldiers as soon as he heard the air defense siren.
"Regiment leader, political commissar, and chief of staff, please transfer immediately!"
"Walk!"
Kong Jie said, grabbing the map on the small wooden table and moving towards the nearby air raid shelter.
At this time, if you look down from the sky above the Independence Regiment base area, you will find such a shocking scene.
If the original independent group base was compared to an ant nest, there would be countless ants busy going back and forth outside the ant nest, and they could be seen everywhere.
After the air raid siren suddenly sounded, in less than 20 seconds, the ants that were still moving outside each ant nest quickly entered the cave in an orderly manner.
In the blink of an eye, there were no more human figures visible in the entire ground.
In such a scene, one has to admire the efficient execution of the air defense evacuation by the Eighth Route Army soldiers.
After waiting in the air-raid shelter, listening to the roar of Japanese planes coming from the base area, Kong Jie judged:
"Judging from the sound, the Japs plane was flying at a high altitude. I guess the little Japs were also frightened by our anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns."
"It looks more like a reconnaissance plane."
"I guess I'm here to get a feel for it first. The main course will be served soon."
The words just fell.
Rumble——
It seemed that the only thing left in the world was this frightening roar.
In order to cope with the bombings by Japanese planes from time to time.
Kong Jie had already prepared everything at the base, and even specially built a war neglect bureau, and built camouflage buildings for all aspects of military construction.
Knowingly knowing that the bombing by the Japs this time was mostly aimed at those camouflaged construction areas.
After being beaten so passively, he could only hide in the air-raid shelter in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Commander Kong couldn't help but cursed with anger in his heart:
"In the past, the Japs had machine guns and artillery, and we were useless in the war. Now we also have machine guns and artillery, but the Japs still have planes. Every time the Japs' planes come and the bombing starts, I feel aggrieved."
"It's always the little devils who bomb us with planes. When can we use planes to fight back?"
"Just fly on two planes, bring enough bombs and run to the sky above Taiyuan City, and blow up that old devil Shinozuka Yoshio directly."
"How happy would that be?"
Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie looked at each other and smiled bitterly, neither of them could say anything.
Kong Jie continued minding his own business: "It seems that the plan to build the airport will be accelerated. I will have to find a way to get Duan Peng and the others to bring me some planes back."
Boom——
The bombing was still going on. As Kong Jie judged, the two previous Japanese reconnaissance planes quickly flew over the independent regiment's base area. After preliminary reconnaissance, the Japanese fighter jets and bombers arrived immediately.
The goal has already been determined.
In order to complete this bombing mission perfectly, the Japanese pilots even memorized the locations of the construction targets in various areas of the Independence Regiment's base in the previous combat plan training.
This bombing made the Japanese pilots scream in their hearts.
They looked down from the plane and saw that every important military building in the Independence Regiment's base had been blown up.
Factories collapsed one after another; the cannons on the artillery positions were blown to pieces; a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and cars parked at the edge of the spacious training ground were bombed to pieces.
Watchtowers, anti-aircraft forts, and even headquarters...
The Japanese commander who led the team held a telescope from the plane and looked at the indiscriminate bombing of the Eighth Route Army's base. He couldn't help but daydream in his heart.
If Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment, is unlucky and is killed in this bombing, the general's commendation may not be far away.
In the bombing zone shrouded by the Japanese flying squadron.
The soldiers of the independent regiment, who quickly entered the air defense fortifications in the base area, also used the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns at hand to launch a counterattack.
The military skills training courses within the independent regiment also include air defense combat teaching.
How to carry out air defense operations and destroy Japanese planes is also a matter of knowledge.
In addition to anti-aircraft weapons such as anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, which are specially used to fight aircraft.
The light and heavy machine guns and even rifles in the hands of soldiers can also be effectively used to deal with low-flying Japanese aircraft.
In the course, soldiers will learn how to choose the advance amount and how to seize the perfect opportunity to shoot at the aircraft.
I also understood the structure and key points of Japanese aircraft, such as engines, fuel tanks, pilots, pipes, circuits, etc. As long as these fatal parts are hit, the Japanese aircraft may be shot down.
In addition, Kong Jie also asked the air defense forces in the base area to formulate corresponding air defense shooting teams.
Therefore, the soldiers currently conducting air defense operations in the base area can even be said to be quite professional air defense troops.
Even with the limited anti-aircraft weapons on hand, the Japanese aircraft cannot be destroyed efficiently.
However, under the fierce anti-aircraft fire counterattack, the little Japanese tried a low-altitude flight in Jin and was destroyed by two aircraft. He was also frightened.
Whether they are fighter jets or bombers, they no longer dare to fly at low altitudes. They just follow the established bombing mission and bomb targets that are familiar with them in advance.
But being too far away, they could only roughly see that the target was completely destroyed, but could not observe the specific situation.
In the end, the Japanese flying team, which had been roaring back and forth over the independent regiment's base for more than ten minutes, left behind the wreckage of two planes that crashed into the mountainous area, mixed with three or four damaged planes, and evacuated in a rather embarrassing manner.
Until the Japanese planes withdrew, the sound of bombings echoing in the mountains and forests gradually subsided and the smoke dissipated.
The soldiers who participated in this air defense operation suffered very few casualties because the Japanese were focused on bombing camouflaged targets.
"It's so irritating. Why are these damn Japanese planes so difficult to shoot down? We have so many machine guns and artillery pieces, but we only managed to shoot down two planes!"
Some soldiers who participated in this air defense operation were depressed.
At this time, Kong Jie, who confirmed through the air defense guard post that the Japanese plane had completely left, arrived with Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie.
Just when he heard the soldier's complaint, Kong Jie smiled and cursed:
"If planes were really that easy to fight, the little devil would have been driven back to Japan long ago."
"What we lost this time was just some disguised factories and various bases."
"According to the air defense equipment of our Chinese army, if we really count, thousands of artillery shells or even tens of thousands of bullets can shoot down a plane."
"Now we have shot down two planes in about ten minutes. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Hehe, Captain, when you say that, that's really what happened."
The little warrior scratched his head, making everyone laugh.
