Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 596: Ambush Zone

In Xia Village, 27 kilometers east of Yuncheng, the devils built an airport here.

In order to keep it secret, the devils arrested all the people in the village and turned them into laborers who worked day and night, building fortifications and repairing the airport, and buried them alive when they couldn't do it anymore.

Maruyama Kihara was waiting anxiously with his subordinates in the lounge. After thinking about it, he felt uneasy, and he confessed to his subordinates: "Masters, this is a battle that depends on whether we will stay or not! If we lose, all of us will return home." Become a coach. If you win, you can stay on the battlefield and fight the enemy. So, please!"

As he said that, Maruyama Kihara bowed deeply to his subordinates, and the subordinates got up to return the salute one after another.

The squadron leader Pinghe said: "Please rest assured, Major, we will definitely go all out, and we will not give up until we achieve our goal. Even if we use planes to hit them, we must destroy the enemy's tanks! Let the empire know that our 45th Flying Squadron should Stay on the battlefield instead of going home!"

Ono Squadron Leader said relaxedly: "Mr. Pinghe, I heard that the Eighth Route Army only has fifty or so tanks, but we have 32 planes, and each plane is not enough to divide two targets. Only Mr. Pinghe needs to use planes to hit them, right? "

The other pilots laughed.

In their view, this is actually a non-dangerous mission. Although the 98 Light Bomber has many shortcomings, such as range and maintenance, it is a veritable dive bomber.

The characteristic of the dive bomber is to rely on the inertia of the fighter plane to dive towards the target to increase the accuracy and lethality of the bombing.

Therefore, it is easy for 32 bombers to destroy more than [-] enemy tanks, and there is no need to use planes to hit them like Squadron Leader Hiraga said.

While the pilots were chatting and laughing at each other, the staff officer standing by the telegram got up and reported to Maruyama Kihara: "Your Excellency, the headquarters sent a telegram to find the target. It is ten miles east of Shanghe Village. Please be sure to meet the target with our tanks." Destroy it before touching it!"

Maruyama Kihara was overjoyed. It took him only two seconds to find the location of Kamikawa Village on the map, and then waved his hand and shouted: "My lords, serve the empire!"

"Long live!" The pilots responded loudly, and then ran out of the lounge and rushed to their own planes with Maruyama Kihara.

It didn't take long for the planes to rush into the sky along the runway with a roar one by one.

After forming a team, Maruyama Kihara led the plane along the road and plains, and carefully avoided Yuncheng... This is because Maruyama Kihara absorbed the lessons of the previous Yuncheng battle. He knew that the Eighth Route Army was equipped with several anti-aircraft guns.

The Eighth Route Army actually has anti-aircraft guns?
This once surprised Maruyama Kihara.

But after thinking about it, since Mao Xiong is willing to give the Eighth Route Army the most advanced tanks, of course he will not be stingy with these anti-aircraft guns.

It's not that hard to dodge the anti-aircraft guns.

Maruyama Kihara knew that Maokuma's anti-aircraft guns had a short range, mostly only four to five thousand meters.

To deal with such anti-aircraft guns, you only need to raise the plane a little higher and avoid the woods to exceed its range.

This is why Maruyama Kihara chose to use the plains as the flight route.

What Maruyama Kihara didn't expect was that the flight route he chose just exposed his preparation time for the Eighth Route Army...

If the Devil's plane flew out from behind the mountain, the battle would start the moment the Eighth Route Army found out, and there was no rush to prepare.

But the devils flew eastward from the plain, and there was another fleet of 32 planes. The scouts deployed by the Eighth Route Army on the mountain could see the target from a long distance.

So he immediately reported to Wang Xuexin by telegram.

"Battalion Commander!" Chen Songyong's voice was low and hasty: "I found the Devils fleet, and it is estimated that they will arrive in ten minutes!"

Wang Xuexin did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Order the troops to enter the No. [-] ambush area immediately, and prepare anti-aircraft guns!"

"The troops entered the No. [-] ambush area!"

"Aircraft guns are ready, ambush area No. [-], ambush area No. [-]!"

……

The tank unit had actually crossed the No. [-] ambush area, but immediately ordered the tanks to turn back as soon as they received the order.

The whole team changed from the front team to the back team and back team to the front team, and retreated along the way they came from.

Then, one by one, they hid in the tank bunkers dug in advance...

It stands to reason that the tank bunker has no air defense function, because its top is open, and even from the perspective of a devil pilot, you can still see these tanks from the top down.

Such bunkers are also unable to protect against bombs falling from overhead.

But this is not the case.

Because the aerial bomb hits the target usually not hitting the top of the tank vertically, but hitting the tank from the side with a slash with the inertia of the aircraft.

This is where the cover comes in handy.

The flight path of the bomb is actually blocked by the tank bunker, so it will be detonated in advance and cannot damage the tank.

In order to deceive the devils, the soldiers even launched more than a dozen fake tanks made of wood from the grass... This kind of fake tank is installed at every ambush point, usually covered with grass so as not to attract the attention of the enemy, Push it to the road when you need it.

After Gangzi directed the driver to drive the tank into the bunker, he shouted at the soldiers who were still running outside: "Cover, cover!"

Those are soldiers deployed in the ambush area, about one platoon in number, and their task is to make fake tanks and dig tank bunkers and ensure their safety.

Because this task is easy, most of them are recruits, and some are guerrillas composed of local people.

They had no combat experience, but after pushing out the fake tank, they put their palms on their foreheads to shade the sky and looked at the sky next to the tank, as if they were worried that the devil's plane would not be fooled.

He was so angry that Gangzi yelled at them, and even took out the box cannon on his waist and fired two shots with "bang bang", screaming: "Fucking hell? I want to see how the devil plane lays eggs or what?" What? Disperse and lie down immediately!"

As soon as the soldiers dispersed, the devil's plane swooped down with a harsh howling sound.

Maruyama Kihara felt that the mission went smoothly this time, which gave him an ominous feeling... Was it too smooth? The target was found in less than ten minutes, and the target was still motionless.

This is what makes Maruyama Kihara the strangest.

The tank was discovered by the plane, and it was discovered in the plain area. Shouldn't it be maneuvered at the fastest speed to avoid bombing?
It is not difficult for an experienced tanker to avoid the bombing of the bomber.

For example, a sudden turn when the bomber is approaching, or an emergency stop, can make the bomber's prediction error and fail to hit.

But now, they have stopped, and several tanks are still parked in the middle of the road, standing there like targets.

Maruyama Kihara took a closer look and found the problem.

"Tank bunkers!" Maruyama Kihara said, "Many of their tanks are hiding in tank bunkers!"

"It's nothing!" Pinghe squadron leader replied: "All we have to do is dive at a large angle!"
