Luo Fugui was recalling what Boss Hu and Madman Yang said to everyone during the meeting.
Fighters do not start shooting as soon as they come up.
In the first step, the pilot also needs to observe the battlefield situation before deciding from which direction to straf.
The position on the river embankment was from south to north, and it was almost impossible for fighter jets coming from the west to open fire as soon as they entered the battle.
It must be changed to flying from south to north or from north to south and then strafing at low altitude.
This is also the reason why Boss Hu ordered that during the first wave of shooting at the enemy, there should be no need to worry about the aircraft in the sky.
To prevent Japanese machine gun fire, all the individual soldier pits on the river embankment were dug into east-west individual soldier trenches.
In this way, the trajectory of the Japanese aircraft that fired in the north-south direction could only be directed obliquely, and the trajectory formed a certain angle with the ground.
As long as he lay in a single trench, he was not afraid of being shot by Japanese fighter jets.
Hu Yi stood on the top of the turret and was being tested by Madman Yang.
The test is very simple. Madman Yang holds a thin wooden stick about one meter long.
Hu Yi's right thumb and other fingers were clasped in a virtual circle.
Madman Yang loosened his hold on the stick, and the stick fell down.
At this time, Hu Yi needed to tighten his hand immediately and finally look at the position of the stick he was holding.
This way the approximate reaction time can be judged.
After a while.
All the machine gunners on the top of the turret were tested.
Hu Yi looked at Madman Yang who was calculating on the paper: "Are you sure you can hit it?"
Madman Yang kept raising his binoculars to look at the planes circling south, and judged the flying speed of the Japanese plane: "At such a close range, no matter how fast it flies, there is no problem in hitting it with a few shots."
In his excitement, Madman Yang forgot the Three-Character Sutra: "Japanese aircraft are used to being invincible in the land of China. Only the engines and fuel tanks are armored."
Hu Yi nodded: "Even if the plane is hit, the engine and fuel tank cannot be emptied. Just hitting the wings is useless."
Madman Yang looked at the Japanese fighter jet that turned around: "Yes, this is the purpose of setting up a heavy machine gun position for anti-aircraft fire on the roof of the turret, so that it can hit his unarmored side!"
Almost all regular regiments of the Eighth Route Army have strict regulations prohibiting shooting into the air.
The reason is that it is actually not difficult to hit the enemy aircraft when shooting directly at it, but it cannot hit the aircraft engine, fuel tank, or pilot. There is no hope of shooting down the enemy aircraft.
In other words, if you use a rifle to calculate the advance, it will be useless if you hit the plane.
A total of three machine guns were installed on the roof of the Wangjiapu gun tower.
There were no anti-aircraft shooting positions arranged on the rooftops of the nearby gun towers that we captured.
This ensures more intensive firepower.
The bullet-proof plate of the 92-heavy machine gun can only fire thirty rounds of bullets at a time.
Two Czech guns each held twenty rounds.
Opportunities are fleeting.
This time there was no talk of instant shooting.
The Japanese Type 97 fighter carries four 25kg aerial bombs.
This has nothing to do with whether it can hit the plane.
The speed of dive shooting reaches about 450 kilometers per hour, and the speed is 130 meters per second!
The blockhouse is sixty meters away from the river embankment.
When the heavy machine gun comes out of the barrel, it is about 800 meters per second, and it takes 0.075 seconds to fly over 60 meters.
The reaction time between the human eye seeing the aircraft and the hand pulling the trigger is 0.2 seconds.
It takes 0.05 seconds from the firing pin hitting the bullet to ignite the gunpowder until the bullet exits the chamber.
In other words, it takes about 0.28 seconds from seeing the plane to shooting and then bullet hitting the plane.
Moreover, turning the machine gun to let the bullets chase the aircraft is completely useless.
You can only try your luck in a fixed position!
The high and low error depends entirely on the experience of the machine gunner.
Madman Yang had already calculated the parameters for masturbation.
The reaction time was 0.28 seconds, and the Japanese plane flew at a speed of 130 meters per second.
Measure about thirty-six meters in advance!
The length of the fighter jet is 7.5 meters.
When shooting, masturbate to almost five fuselage positions in front of the aircraft.
In fact, everyone's reaction time is certainly different
Moreover, the Japanese plane will not fly exactly sixty meters away from the gun tower.
If the enemy flies high and is far away from the gun tower, you even have to calculate the parabola produced when the bullet is fired diagonally.
Until the observer screamed that the plane was approaching, Madman Yang had not completely finished his calculations.
Simply stop calculating and just let the masturbation take place at five to seven fuselage positions.
Using a machine gun to masturbate is a matter of luck.
Moreover, even if the bullet hits the aircraft, it still has to hit the aircraft engine, fuel tank, and pilot.
It’s even more difficult
After telling the result.
Madman Yang occasionally glanced at Hu Yi.
Realizing that Hu Yi's brows had not relaxed, he comforted him by saying, "The enemy only has four planes. I promise to hit at least one of them!"
Hu Yi had a theoretical basis for shooting several fuselages before entering the military academy, so he was impressed by Madman Yang's ability to calculate five to seven fuselage lead times.
Whether you can shoot down the plane is very important.
But it is also important whether Wang Dashan, who is blocking the attack from the north, and Wang Peng, who is fighting the attack from the south, can withstand the Japanese armored vehicles that are detouring.
So far, only one Japanese tank squadron has been seen!
Most of the people in the county brigade have gradually retreated eastward.
A large part of the reason why the Nine Battalions stayed here was to attract Japanese planes here.
Otherwise, the county brigade is likely to be completely wiped out by the Japanese planes, Japanese and puppet infantry pursuit, and encirclement and suppression!
What was originally a battle to rob the execution ground turned into a blockade.
This is fate.
retreat.
check.
Half past twelve noon.
The weather is delightful.
Saw the plane coming around from the south.
The Japanese captain once again ordered the puppet troops to prepare for attack.
If even a stone bridge cannot be crossed under the cover of the aviation force, the imperial army will be completely humiliated.
Aircraft strafing.
Mortar bombardment.
Light and heavy machine gun suppression.
The Japanese soldiers lying on the river embankment began to divide themselves into sections, waiting for the Eighth Route Army to appear and launch a precise shot.
Time goes extremely slowly minute by minute.
The Japanese captain judged the time when the plane would arrive, drew out his command knife, and pointed toward the east of the river: "Attack."
This time, the mortars fired first.
Followed by light and heavy machine gun fire.
A new round of offensive by the puppet troops began.
The puppet troops who had retreated and were lying on the stone bridge immediately got up and rushed to the other side.
The puppet troops on both sides began to step onto the renovated pontoon bridge.
Across the stone bridge.
Avoid the reverse slopes of river embankments on both sides of the road.
"Due to the south, enemy aircraft are in formation." The voice came from the observation post that had been personally educated by Madman Yang.
The long pits running east to west look like shallow graves.
The soldiers lying on their stomachs or on their backs were all trying to stay close to the ground on the south side.
My heart was beating so hard, the loud noises from the shells exploding nearby and the shaking of the ground made me extremely nervous.
I was nervous, but the situation was exactly the same as what the battalion commander said.
The soldiers checked the status of the shell guns in their hands.
After a while, the puppet troops will come and fight them in close combat.
The soldiers were confident. They dug a large pit in the middle of the road more than 30 meters behind the river and set up a heavy machine gun position with a full warehouse hidden.
The muzzle of the gun is facing the stone bridge. After a while, the puppet troops coming over the bridge will encounter a metal storm that is designed to eat people.
Next to the stone bridge, there is an open space of thirty or forty meters from the river embankment to the river surface.
The open space left no chance for the enemy, and mines were laid early.
The enemy wanted to rush across the river from the bridge and then jump to the dry river bed to start the battle.
Attacking is still a dead end.
The brave ones stuck their heads out and looked south to see the enemy aircraft.
Immediately received a stern warning from the squad leader.
Gong Shaofeng and Director Liu were lying in the adjacent pit: "Hey, Old Liu, you said that Battalion Commander Hu used a machine gun to masturbate, is that too much?"
The voice of Minister Liu, who was in charge of directing the frontal attack across the stone bridge, came from the side: "During the Long March, I have seen comrades put machine guns on their shoulders and fly from the front, but horizontally shooting a plane can run away very fast. , this is really the first time I’ve heard of it.”
"They repelled the first wave of puppet attacks, cleanly and neatly. They really have some skills."
"Then you should study hard."
"If our county brigade had so many bullets, I would definitely be no worse than them."
"You are indeed very powerful. If you defeat hundreds of warriors and only twenty are left, I will deal with you later."
"I didn't know the Japs had a conspiracy. If Captain Guo and the others hadn't sent the news, you might have burned paper for me by this time next year."
"Don't say anything depressing. I ask you to withdraw. You have to stay and leave."
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't get out of the line of fire even if you're slightly injured."
"Big man, why are you crying?"
"My good comrades."
Buzz. Buzz
The huge roar of the plane hurts the eardrums.
The buzzing sound seemed to herald the arrival of the devil.
Puff puff
The silver-white steel monster in the low altitude flew over with a strange roar, flashing tongues of fire.
The ballistic trajectory of the lead fighter aircraft's continuous fire crackled on the river embankment from south to north, stirring up two continuous splashes of soil mist.
The Japanese bombardment in Hexi stopped.
Light and heavy machine guns also poured bullets from west to east.
For the soldiers hiding in the individual soldier pits on the reverse slope, the puppet troops will soon attack their heads.
Some people may think that positional warfare is about shooting at each other.
In fact, the requirements for commanders are very high.
Not only the enemy's attack method, but also the direction of the attack must be accurately predicted.
Moreover, the soldiers under his command were required to obey the command without reservation.
At this time, whoever dares to take the lead will have no other consequences than having his head smashed.
As well as skill, there is also determination.
That's right, it's determination, not confidence.
Determination not to be afraid of death!
At this time, I was completely in a situation of being beaten.
If he hadn't been determined, he might have collapsed on the spot.
The roof of the turret.
Hu Yi put his finger on the trigger of the Czech light gun and held his breath.
