Outside Baijia Town, on the dusty road.
The Japanese artillery battalion captain stood on the truck and was conducting reconnaissance through a telescope. Look for favorable artillery positions.
They have eight 100 mm cannons, four 120 mm howitzers, twelve 80 mm caliber mortars, plus eight 75 mm mountain guns, etc., a total of no less than 45 artillery pieces of various types.
They were pulled by thirty trucks and protected by a squadron of Japanese infantry, and headed straight to the outside of Baijia Town.
The terrain outside Baijia Town is flat, and if you set up artillery positions, you will definitely encounter enemy artillery strikes.
The Chinese defenders were so high up that they could be completely suppressed even with mortars.
So the Botian detachment was defeated in the artillery battle last night.
But today is different. The imperial planes have restrained a large number of Chinese artillery. They have the hope and ability to set up artillery positions in a very short period of time and launch carpet bombing of Baijia Town.
But little did the little devil know that Sun Shiyu had already prepared six trucks. Two of the trucks each have a 37mm combat anti-aircraft gun hanging on the back, and the other two trucks have 80mm mortars. On the carriages of the remaining two trucks are two 60mm mortars.
There are six trucks in total and eight artillery pieces of various types.
Sun Shiyu led the artillery out of the city. There was no infantry cover, and they had less than thirty people in total.
At this time, the Japanese truck was already about one kilometer away from Baijia Town, and Sun Shiyu's convoy had just left the city.
A Little Japanese fighter jet spotted the convoy leaving the city and flew towards Sun Shiyu's convoy.
Zhu Shengzhong set up an Oerlikon 20mm machine gun on the wall of the North City Gate. He personally directed a series of strafing shots at the Japanese fighter jets.
The maximum range of the Oerlikon 20mm cannon can reach 4,300 meters. If the Little Japanese fighter jets want to swoop down and shoot at Sun Shiyu's convoy, they must first ask whether the Oerlikon 20mm cannon agrees.
As soon as the little devil's plane dived down, the left wing was hit by three cannonballs, making three holes larger than the mouth of a bowl.
The plane began to shake violently, and the little Japanese pilot quickly turned the plane to the right to avoid it, and shouted for help: "I was shot, and the left wing was seriously damaged. Pay attention to the enemy's machine guns on the north wall, and there are ,..."
Bang bang! Boom!
The Jaap pilot wanted to say something else, but he didn't want Zhu Shengzhong to sweep his machine gun over again and hit the Jaap fighter jet's fuel tank directly.
The fuel tank was hit, and the bullet rubbed against the metal on the plane and caused sparks, which directly ignited it.
The plane exploded after emitting violent smoke and fire. The Little Devil's fighter jet disintegrated in mid-air and was blown into countless pieces.
Zhu Shengzhong snorted disdainfully, then turned the muzzle to look for the next target.
This is Zhu Shengzhong's mission. When Sun Shiyu and Zhu Shengzhong were discussing before, they said: If he drives a truck out of the city, the Japs' plane will inevitably intercept him.
The convoy was unable to fight the Japanese aircraft and could only be covered by Zhu Shengzhong and his troops. And the soldiers were hidden on the north side of the north city wall and the east city wall, and then artillery was deployed, ready to receive them at any time and then withdraw from the north city gate.
Because if no one responds, then Sun Shiyu's artillerymen leaving the city are looking for death.
Because what they have to face is a Japanese artillery brigade and nearly eight infantry brigade Japanese.
In the face of so many Japanese, if you don't leave yourself a life-saving trump card in advance, then this trip will be a life-or-death situation.
Dragon Boat Festival once told them that it is the duty of a soldier not to be afraid of death in war. But you can't just rush to death in a war. Even if you are in a desperate situation, you must find a way to survive. Because only if you survive can you kill more Japanese.
Therefore, Sun Shiyu adhered to the Dragon Boat Festival's combat philosophy, which was to kill more Japanese and preserve his own strength.
Zhu Shengzhong naturally knew the importance of this matter, so he personally operated an Oerlikon 20mm machine gun to block the Japanese aircraft from approaching the convoy, and ordered his first company and artillery to quietly climb up the north city wall and head north of the east city wall. Side maneuver.
The troop mobilization of the independent regiment naturally caught Zhou Weiguo's eyes. He sighed in his heart that the independent regiment not only has strong combat capabilities, but also has stronger execution capabilities.
It can be said that it was his helpless move to mobilize the Independent Regiment again. As the supreme commander, he was unable to face enemies attacking from both sides at the same time, so he could only throw this difficult nut to the independent regiment again.
But he didn't expect that after the battle of Xiaoyangzhuang, the independent regiment still completely obeyed his orders.
So even Zhou Weiguo had to sigh that this was a team with strong obedience.
And they possess wisdom that his officers do not possess.
If his subordinates received such an order, they would definitely rush out with the entire battalion and use their own flesh and blood to delay time. And if this happens, no one knows how many people will die.
However, the Independent Regiment only dispatched a mere six trucks, as well as a company of infantry and artillery to maneuver to the north of the east wall.
Zhou Weiguo guessed that the independent regiment was preparing to send reinforcements to the troops leaving the city on the north side of the east city wall.
But he still hasn't figured out how the troops leaving the city will fight.
Of course, this is not important anymore. What is important is that he has time to deal with the bombing of Japanese planes.
And he believed that the Japs' bombers wouldn't last long. Because the fuel tank of the Little Japanese Type 93 bomber is as big as a lunch box.
Of course, this is just a joke. What Zhou Weiguo meant was that the Japs' Type 93 bombers were very fuel-intensive and they could not keep hovering over Baijia Town.
What's more, he also has two 88mm battle defense guns in his hands.
The maximum range of this combat anti-artillery shell can reach 7,200 meters. The maximum distance of horizontal shooting can be doubled to more than 14,000 meters.
Therefore, even if the little devil's plane hovers over Baijia Town, it cannot be safe even if it flies to an airspace of more than three thousand meters. They may be shot down at any time.
But the little devils will not sit still and wait for death. The 88mm combat anti-cannon and the 37mm anti-tank cannon are so powerful that it is impossible for the Japanese aviation captain to leave them alone.
He ordered three Japanese bombers to launch the Banzai Charge.
Just like the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, many Japanese aircraft ran out of fuel after performing long-distance maneuvers and returned to the aircraft carrier.
Therefore, the planned plan at that time was for some of the aircraft to light up the bombs, machine gun bullets, etc. on the aircraft and launch a suicide attack on the US warships.
And this time it was the same. In order to deal with China's anti-aircraft artillery and tear a hole in China's air defense firepower network, the captain of the Little Japanese Flying Group also spent a lot of money and ordered three Japanese bombers to carry out suicide attacks to end this war. A pointless fight.
Indeed, this was meaningless in the eyes of the Japanese flight captain. Originally thought this was a very simple bombing mission. But who would have thought that it would become a nightmare for his flying team. In a battle that lasted less than twenty minutes, they lost thirteen fighters and bombers.
This is simply a great shame for his Fujino Flying Group.
He wanted to wash away the shame brought upon him by the Chinese, even at the cost of the lives of his colleagues.
Naturally, the little devils did not dare to disobey Fujino Colonel's order. They made a final spin in the air, as if they were reminiscing about their past and admiring the last smoke of gunpowder in the world, and then plunged into Baijia Town! ...
