Over at Shuiquan Coal Mine, when Yang Yuanshan used his telescope to see the Japs' bombers flying over Shuiquan, he immediately did not come to trouble himself and Ding Wei. Instead, he went to find Zhang Dabiao. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. You've tricked the other party.
I couldn't help but think guiltily: Old battalion commander, old battalion commander, if I told you, I never thought this would happen, would you believe it?
He instantly understood that after the war, Zhang Dabiao would definitely not be able to get rid of a thousand San Ba Da Gai.
At least a few more artillery pieces have to be spared.
But since the Japs bomber didn't come over immediately, it was a good thing. It bought him a few minutes of preparation time. He immediately sent someone to ask Liu Changshou:
"Are the machine guns ready?"
"Already ready, just wait for the little Japanese plane to enter the range!"
"Okay! Once the range is enough, hit me hard and shoot out all the shells!"
Yang Yuanshan ordered fiercely.
He originally didn't want to bring too many machine gun shells with him when he came out this time. After all, the long journey and carrying those shells was too much for the soldiers.
But before leaving, he was still worried about the Japs' bombers, and finally chose to bring 5,000 rounds of 20mm artillery shells, which would come in handy now.
There are 4 machine guns, each of which can distribute 1,250 rounds of shells. Although it can be fired at full speed, it can be fired in a few minutes.
However, the Japs' bombers certainly did not expect that our army had anti-aircraft firepower. If they underestimated the enemy's carelessness, they might suffer heavy losses.
At this time, through Yang Yuanshan's telescope, he saw the Japs bomber flying towards the coal mine.
Maybe it was because they had just blown up a battalion of positions with ease, and felt that this mission was as easy as a spring outing, so the flying formation was not so neat and the speed had slowed down a lot, looking very satisfied. .
When Yang Yuanshan saw it, he couldn't help but worry about the soldiers of the first battalion. The casualties should, probably, maybe not be too great, right?
…
Soon, the little devil's plane flew above Shuiquan Coal Mine.
When they saw that there were many Tubalu soldiers in gray military uniforms fighting with locust warriors in yellow military uniforms within the coal mine area, they couldn't help but frown.
A pilot immediately asked:
"Your Excellency Captain, what should we do?
Our warriors are mixed up with Tubal Road. If we drop a bomb, our own people will be blown up! "
Of course Kenji Ikeda also saw this situation and immediately cursed:
"idiot!
These army idiots actually allowed Tubal Road to invade the coal mine in such a short period of time! "
Then he took a breath and ordered:
"Don't drop the bomb yet!
Avoid accidental injuries!
Shoot Tubal Road with machine guns! "
When the other pilots heard this, they couldn't help but roll their eyes. Everyone thought: If you dare to shoot with heavy machine guns, you won't be accidentally injured?
Do you believe too much in the shooting skills of our machine gunners?
Although they resented it in their hearts, they were still prepared to obey orders.
So they spread out their formation slightly, leaving some space, and prepared to swoop in and shoot.
However, before they could swoop down, a pilot suddenly shouted on the radio:
"Your Excellency, Captain, on the hillside to the west, it looks like their artillery position!"
Kenji Ikeda was very pleasantly surprised when he heard this. He quickly controlled the plane to descend. After a closer look, he was pleasantly surprised.
On the top of a mountain, there was half a dark gun barrel pointing in the direction of the coal mine.
Although most of the cannon was hidden among the branches, the long barrel was still exposed.
He is also a veteran who has been in the battlefield for a long time. At a glance, he guessed that this should be the barrel of a 75mm cannon.
I couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and thought to myself: Wasn't it said that Tubal Road's equipment was crude?
Why is there a 75mm cannon?
I even got it on this mountain cannon!
No wonder they were able to break through the coal mine's defenses so quickly!
It is reasonable that the Locust Army warriors cannot stop the condescending bombardment.
It’s not that the Locust Army is too stretched, it’s that Tubalu is too cunning!
He immediately yelled:
"The Fifth Battalion followed me to bomb the artillery positions on Tubal Road, and the Sixth Battalion swooped down and fired machine guns at Tubal Road!"
As soon as the military order was given, the pilots responded in unison from the radio:
"Hi!"
Then the 24 bombers immediately divided into two teams and flew towards their targets separately.
…
Next to Mao Mao Mountain, on a ridge with an open shooting range, Liu Changshou looked at the 12 bombers coming towards him and felt that his palms were sweaty.
This was the first time he led a team on a combat mission, and ended up facing 24 bombers from the Japs.
How could he not be nervous?
Although he is the best platoon leader under Feng Shuanglin, at this moment, his mouth is still so dry that there is no moisture at all!
However, he still forced his men to calm down and shouted:
"Get ready. When the little devil dives to drop bombs, fire again. Try to beat these sons of bitches down in the first round!"
"yes!"
The machine gunner and ammunition hand shouted in unison.
While he was talking, the 12 bombers of the Little Japs had already flown in front of the top of Hat Mountain, and the heavy machine guns on the planes had begun to fire "aggressively".
The bullets hit the top of the mountain and scattered vegetation and gravel.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the artillery company had already evacuated the artillery position and were hiding in the distance. No one was injured at this time.
Only a lot of stray bullets hit the cannons they had covered with branches, making a "ding-dong" sound.
The pilot of the little devil didn't care whether the machine gun fire was useless or not. After one fierce operation, the height of the bomber had dropped a lot.
At this time, Captain Kenji Ikeda decisively ordered:
"Each aircraft spreads out, looks for targets and dives to drop bombs, destroying all the artillery on Tubal Road! Tubal Road has no anti-aircraft weapons, you can dive to drop bombs from a distance of three to four hundred meters, and strive to be accurate.
! The aerial bombs of our Locust Army are also very precious and must not be wasted! "
Following his order, he immediately took the lead in diving towards the top of Hat Mountain.
When the plane was less than 300 meters from the top of the mountain, he pressed the button, and a 60-kilogram aerial bomb suddenly fell from the cabin and hit the artillery position of the secret service camp on the top of the mountain.
…
On the machine gun position, Liu Changshou couldn't help but feel ecstatic when he saw the little Japanese swooping down to a distance of three to four hundred meters.
I know these little devil pilots are too arrogant.
The moment the little devil's cabin opened and the bombs dropped, he immediately shouted:
"Comrades, open fire! Beat these sons of bitches down!"
Following his order, the four separately deployed Oerlikon 20mm cannons let out a roar of death at the Imp bombers in the sky——
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
The sound of dense artillery shells resounded throughout the position.
Speaking of which, in the sky, Captain Ikeda Kenji of the Fifth Flying Group of the Little Japs had finished controlling the plane and dropped bombs. He was about to pull up the plane. Suddenly, there was a "bang bang bang" sound, and he felt that his plane suddenly lost control. , and crashed into the valley ahead.
"Nani? There are anti-aircraft guns on Tubal Road? I was shot!"
After hearing what he said, other pilots' exclamations suddenly came from the radio:
"Your Excellency, Captain, I was also shot and cannot control the plane!"
"I got shot too!"
"And I!"
"I was shot, but not critically!"
"Me too, but Anjo-kun was beaten to death..."
There was a loud exclamation.
Kenji Ikeda quickly shouted to the radio:
"Hurry up, pull up the plane, the anti-aircraft guns on Tubal Road are powerful!"
After giving this order, he quickly ordered the machine gunner in the cabin:
"Yoshizawa-kun, hurry up, open the cabin, we're getting ready to parachute!"
However, machine gunner Masaki Yoshizawa sitting in the back responded with a mournful voice:
"Your Excellency Captain, I'm afraid we are too late, please look ahead!"
"Nani? Baghya Road!"
Kenji Ikeda was shocked and angry.
Looking forward, he saw that his plane was less than two or three hundred meters away from the ground. It was impossible for them to have time to parachute!
You know, these days' Imp bombers don't have ejection parachute devices at all.
If a pilot wants to parachute, he needs to unbuckle his seat belt, push open the cabin, climb out of the plane, and jump out.
The whole process can only be done manually. It is impossible to do it without three minutes!
But now, it is obviously impossible for him and Masaki Yoshizawa to have this time.
Kenji Ikeda never thought that as an ace pilot, he would be in trouble this time. The anger in his heart was beyond words, and he couldn't help but let out a final roar:
"Baga, those losers from the Extra High School Course, when did Tubal Road have anti-aircraft guns?
Why didn't you tell us? "
Hearing this, machine gunner Masaki Yoshizawa immediately wanted to tell him that it was not that the Special High School did not synchronize their information, but that Captain Ikeda did not care!
It's a pity that he didn't have time to speak. After Kenji Ikeda's roar, the plane they were riding on hit the valley with a "boom" and raised a huge fireball.
The huge energy from the explosion of aircraft aviation fuel and remaining aerial bombs directly destroyed all the vegetation in the valley and caused the debris to fly away.
The huge sound even shook the walls of Shuiquan City.
Satoshi Nakao, the chief of staff of the 225th Wing on the city wall, lost his balance and fell to the ground, his face turning pale in an instant.
He immediately understood that the Locust Army bomber formation might have been ambushed by Tubal Road.
Although he didn't understand how Tubalu did it, he still felt as cold as water, feeling that the trouble Shuiquan encountered this time might be a bit big!
Thinking that there were still a few hours until dark, he immediately ordered:
"Quick, hurry up, go prepare the torches, beware of a night battle on Tubal Road tonight!"
…
Over at Shuiquan Coal Mine, the sudden fire of four machine guns just now hit more than just Kenji Ikeda's plane.
The rate of fire of the Oerlikon 20mm machine gun can reach up to several hundred rounds per minute. Of course, the gunners of the current secret service battalion cannot do that fast, but they can still achieve a speed of two to three hundred rounds per minute.
Four guns had just fired a salvo, and in one minute, more than 1,000 shells were fired into the sky.
Countless 20mm-caliber artillery shells swooped at the Imp bombers like locusts, directly hitting seven or eight of them!
It's just that some of the shells hit non-critical locations, so although this round of salvo was surprising enough, only four planes struggled and crashed into the ground.
Some hit the valley, and some hit the mountain cannon.
Four loud noises made the soldiers of the special agent camp and the new regiment rejoice. Everyone thought: Do you stupid little devils think that a few iron birds are great?
Let you taste the power of our anti-aircraft guns!
In the sky, the little Japanese pilots saw that the captain was actually hit by the anti-aircraft artillery of Tubal Road. The plane was destroyed and everyone died on the spot. They were suddenly horrified and exclaimed:
"Your Excellency, Captain, your jade is broken, what should we do?"
Those who responded quickly immediately shouted in a sharp voice:
"Quickly, pull up the plane, the anti-aircraft guns on Tubal Road are still firing!"
This shout immediately reminded everyone, and they immediately used all their strength to pull up the plane, avoid the machine gun fire of the secret service camp, and then hover at high altitude.
At this time, among the remaining people, the captain with the highest rank gritted his teeth and said:
"We must blow up the anti-aircraft gun emplacement on Tubal Road to avenge the captain!
Otherwise, even if we escape back to the Beijing Airport, we will be severely punished! "
"Hi!"
The other pilots quickly agreed.
Although some pilots knew that their planes had been bombed and the control was not as good as before, and it was not a good choice to continue diving to drop bombs now, no one dared to raise objections at this time.
After all, no one wants to be called a coward who is afraid of fighting!
That would bring shame to their family!
As noble pilots, they will not allow this to happen!
After the discussion, the remaining eight aircraft immediately adjusted their formation and direction. After making all preparations, they roared:
"Drop all the bombs!"
Then they dived in unison, rushing toward the machine gun platoon's position with lightning speed.
