Generally speaking, anti-aircraft artillery air defense requires at least 2,000 rounds of artillery shells to hit an aircraft.
But in this world, some miracles often happen. For example, in the history of our military's war, there were several miracles in which rifles shot down Japanese planes.
Now, when Gao Yuanzhi fired an anti-aircraft artillery shell, he originally just wanted to attract the attention of the Japs bombers so that they would stop bombing the folks who were carrying the loot.
Unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, his shot directly hit the tail of a bomber, blowing it to pieces.
The bomber lost its balance on the spot and fell to the ground crookedly.
No matter how hard the little Japanese pilot tried to pull up the plane, it was of no avail. After flying more than a thousand meters, it fell to the ground and exploded with a loud noise.
"boom!"
The fuel and remaining aerial bombs on the plane exploded violently, everything within a hundred meters was destroyed, and rubble flew everywhere like a rain of arrows.
Seeing this situation, everyone in the audience was shocked.
The soldiers of the secret service battalion and the villagers who had just been shot by machine guns were very excited and their morale was greatly shaken.
Many people are chanting:
"Well done! Kill these stupid little devils!"
The little Japanese pilots in the sky were all terrified and screamed:
"Nani? There are anti-aircraft guns on Tubal Road?"
Over at the anti-aircraft artillery position, Gao Yuanzhi never thought that he would achieve success with one shot. He suddenly doubted his life and thought to himself: Could it be that his artillery talent is actually anti-aircraft artillery talent?
Otherwise, how could one shoot down a plane with one shot?
However, although he was shocked, he knew that now was not the time to waste time. Seeing that the ammunition man next to him was stunned, he quickly shouted:
"Stop fucking in a daze and get ready to reload!"
As he spoke, he slightly adjusted the direction of the muzzle, stepped on it, and fired the shells in the magazine one after another.
But now, his luck was not so good. He fired more than a dozen shells in a row, but they didn't even touch the skin of the little Japanese plane.
…
Under the big tree in the distance, seeing Gao Yuanzhi knocking down an airplane with his first cannonball, Li Yunlong immediately jumped to his feet and shouted:
"Well done! Give these sons of bitches a good beating!"
In the past, among all the troops in our army, who has not been bullied by little Japanese planes?
It is no exaggeration to say that everyone is holding back their anger.
Now, seeing the little Japanese plane being beaten down easily, Li Yunlong was as happy as if he had drank a glass of ice in the summer.
Feel great from head to toe!
Yang Yuanshan never thought that his anti-aircraft gun battery, which had only been formed for less than 3 hours, would actually launch its first shot. He was also extremely surprised. He knew how difficult it was to shoot down a Japanese plane with an anti-aircraft gun!
Not to mention the first shell!
This is more exaggerated than pie in the sky!
I couldn't help but think to myself: The warriors these days really have endless potential!
All they lack are weapons and equipment.
Once they are given the right weapons and equipment, they will continue to create miracles.
…
Gao Yuanzhi's anti-aircraft gun fired shells continuously. The Japs' bombers quickly reacted and shouted on the radio station while raising the gun:
"There is only one anti-aircraft gun on the Eighth Route, blow them up!"
"At seven o'clock!"
"These abominable bunch of country rats, let them have a taste of the Locust Army's bombs!"
The remaining 11 bombers immediately reached a consensus and prepared a dive bomb to blow up Gao Yuanzhi's anti-aircraft gun.
On the anti-aircraft gun position, the soldiers also saw that the Japs' plane was finally attracted, and they were all so nervous that their palms became sweaty.
This was really the first time they used anti-aircraft guns to deal with the vicious little Japanese bombers!
Gao Yuanzhi even shouted nervously:
"Old Feng, the Japs plane is coming, it's up to you!"
Feng Shuanglin didn't know whether he heard it or not, so he didn't reply.
Instead, he carefully observed the height and angle of the Little Japanese plane, and after doing some mental calculations, he shouted:
"A row of three guns, muzzle height 35 degrees, direction 2 o'clock.
The second row of four guns has a muzzle height of 50 degrees and a direction of 4 o'clock.
Three rows of four guns, muzzle height 60 degrees, direction 3 o'clock!
Adjust now! "
After hearing his order, the soldiers hurriedly adjusted.
Fortunately, when the Little Japanese plane first arrived, they had already adjusted it to the general direction. Now they only needed to make fine adjustments.
After they made adjustments, the Japs' plane also began to dive. Feng Shuanglin estimated that the Japs underestimated the range of the anti-aircraft guns of the secret service camp, so their flying altitude at this moment was only about 3,000 meters at most!
Seeing this situation, he immediately felt happy.
At this height, the accuracy of the bombs dropped by the little Japanese would be very poor, but they could be easily hit by anti-aircraft guns!
It’s simply taking the initiative to be stupid!
Seeing that the Japs were about to drop their bombs, Feng Shuanglin concentrated on carefully observing the Japs aircraft in the sky through the sight of an anti-aircraft gun.
Suddenly, he shouted loudly:
"Everyone fire! Fire quickly!"
Following his order, all 11 anti-aircraft guns in the entire anti-aircraft gun position opened fire immediately, and 11 shells flew towards the diving Little Japanese aircraft like lightning.
The muzzle velocity of the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun reaches 881 meters per second. It now takes less than 4 seconds to bombard a target about 3,000 meters in the sky!
When the pilot of the Little Devil spotted the anti-aircraft gun salvo from the secret service battalion and then controlled the aircraft to react, he didn't have more than 5 seconds to do so. It was impossible!
After all, pilot training these days is still very primitive in terms of neurological reactions.
Even for the little devil, there is no special training for this.
Therefore, when the 11 anti-aircraft guns of the secret service battalion fired a salvo, the little Japanese pilots almost exclaimed in unison:
"Nani, there is more than one anti-aircraft gun on Tubal Road?"
Then some pilots who reacted quickly pulled up the plane in time, but most of the pilots continued to dive, preparing to drop bombs.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and some unlucky aircraft was hit by a shell in the fuel tank, and exploded into a large fireball in the air.
The violent explosive airflow pushed nearby planes to sway, and the pilots in the plane could only hold on to the control stick and desperately control the plane.
"Quickly pull up! Drop bombs from high altitude!"
the Imp's pilot commander shouted over the radio.
Following this order, the pilots gave up their plan to continue dive bombing and began to lift the aircraft with all their strength.
After preparing to reach a high altitude, try the bombing method - what if the bomb can reach Tubal Road?
But how could Feng Shuanglin let them go?
Seeing that in less than a minute, all the hundreds of shells fired by the anti-aircraft guns had only destroyed one aircraft, he couldn't help but feel very unhappy. After observing carefully for three seconds, he ordered:
"Raise the muzzles of all artillery guns by 5 degrees and continue to fire rapidly! Quick!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
The shells came out of the barrel like a gust of wind.
The dense rain of bullets pounced on the Little Japanese bomber like locusts.
Each of these shells weighs 5 kilograms. They are much more powerful than the 7.7mm bullets that Feng Shuanglin used to hit bombers before!
Soon, while the little devil's plane was being pulled up, two more planes were hit in vital positions and fell to the ground while smoking.
"boom!"
"boom!"
There were two loud noises, and a raging fire broke out on the ground.
Seeing this situation, the pilots of the eight remaining bombers in the sky suddenly became terrified.
No one thought that what they thought would be an easy bombing mission would turn out to be so dangerous!
Someone quickly asked:
"Your Excellency, Captain, should we continue the mission?"
"idiot!
coward!
Tubal Road blew up four planes of our Third Flying Group. We should immediately destroy the anti-aircraft gun positions on Tubal Road! "
Major Tomoyuki Nakaoka, the commander of the Little Japanese Flying Group, cursed on the radio.
Then he decisively ordered:
"Reform the formation later, then immediately accelerate the dive, dive from an altitude of 8,000 meters to a position of 1,000 meters to release the bomb, and then immediately pull up!
At absolute speed, the anti-aircraft guns passed through Tubal Road to intercept, do you understand? "
"Your Excellency, Captain, if we dive from 8,000 meters to 1,000 meters at full speed, we will probably be unable to pull up the plane and it will crash directly!"
Some pilots objected to such a crazy operation.
This is absolutely crazy!
Which aviation school instructor taught them to fly a plane like this?
This is not how you seek death!
After hearing this, Tomoyuki Nakaoka continued to curse angrily:
"Baga, you coward!
You are a disgrace to my Army Air Corps!
I am ordering you now to execute the order immediately! "
With this stern order from him, the other pilots had no choice but to agree, then adjusted the attitude of the planes, formed a formation, and prepared to dive.
At this time, Nakaoka Tomoyuki continued to beep on the radio:
“All machine gunners, once the aircraft dives below 2,000 meters, fire with all your strength and use up all the machine gun bullets!
All the anti-aircraft gunners on Route 8 must be eliminated! "
"Hi!"
All machine gunners agreed in unison.
After some planning and preparation, the remaining eight planes of the Little Devils adjusted their directions and rushed towards Feng Shuanglin's anti-aircraft gun position.
Feng Shuanglin was highly nervous. Seeing this situation, he quickly ordered the soldiers to adjust their direction and angle.
However, this time, because the Little Japanese plane increased its dive speed, all the anti-aircraft artillery shells fired by the soldiers missed, and none of them could hit the vital point of the Little Japanese plane.
When the Little Japanese plane reached an altitude of less than 2,000 meters, the Little Japanese heavy machine gun fire also fell like a downpour, causing gravel to fly on the ground.
Several ammunition handlers who had no time to dodge were hit by heavy machine guns and died on the spot.
Seeing that the situation was so critical, Feng Shuanglin did not panic and once again ordered to adjust the angle of the anti-aircraft guns:
"A row of anti-aircraft guns, the muzzle angle is 80 degrees!
85 degrees in the second row!
The three rows remain unchanged!
Shoot quickly, quickly! "
The effect of this adjustment was immediate. A Japanese pilot was hit by a cannonball and died on the spot. The plane he was driving hit the ground at full speed, creating a big fireball.
However, this time the collision was less than 100 meters away from the anti-aircraft gun position. The explosion shattered and shrapnel, rubble and other soldiers directly rushed towards the anti-aircraft gun position. More than a dozen soldiers died on the spot or were seriously injured.
However, Feng Shuanglin had no time to grieve for the sacrifices of his soldiers. He kept issuing orders one after another, asking the soldiers to adjust the angle of the anti-aircraft guns, and they were inextricably killed by the Japanese planes.
In the sky, the Japs' machine gun bullets and aerial bombs continued to rain down on this position.
On the ground, Feng Shuanglin directed the soldiers to fight back with all their strength.
Soon, the empty shell casings were piled up like a hill.
Three to four thousand rounds of artillery shells were shot out by them, and the little Japanese's planes were also beaten down one after another.
After half an hour of fierce fighting, the bomber piloted by Major Tomoyuki Nakaoka, the commander of the flight group, was hit by anti-aircraft artillery. After 5 of the 12 bombers of the Little Devils were left, they gave up their plan to continue destroying the anti-aircraft artillery position and launched the bomber at high altitude. After throwing away all the aerial bombs, he shook his wings and flew away.
However, they wanted to run away, but Feng Shuanglin did not want to let them go. He immediately commanded the remaining seven anti-aircraft guns to adjust their angles and pursue them.
Just when the little Japanese plane was about to escape from the range, another plane was shot down.
