my bright sword career

Chapter 309
On an anti-aircraft gun position next to the airport, a second lieutenant holding a small red flag was standing next to a Bofors 40mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft gun camouflaged with tree branches, watching the Japanese fighter jets hovering high in the sky, Give orders out loud.

"There are all artillery positions, and the target is a Japanese aircraft at an altitude of 3000 meters. Start aiming...ready...to fire..."

"Tom tom... tom tom..."

The 12 Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 26 [-]mm anti-aircraft guns on the No. [-] airport sprayed angry flames into the sky...

More than 30 anti-aircraft guns aimed at the Type [-] land attack aircraft in the sky that was about to dive and drop bombs, and high-explosive bombs began to chase the Japanese aircraft that dared to invade their territory in midair.

Shells fired high into the sky exploded in the air. Although the Type [-] land attack aircraft desperately pulled up and flew towards the sky, it was finally overtaken by several [-]-caliber shells. The violent shrapnel and The shock wave easily tore apart the metal skin of the bomber, knocking off most of one of his wings.Losing its balance, the huge fuselage immediately tilted to the side, and the nose of the plane fell towards the ground. It soon came into direct contact with the ground, and then exploded loudly.

Looking at the Japanese aircraft plummeting to the ground with black smoke and the black fireworks blooming in the air battle, the air commander of the Japanese aircraft who is directing the fleet to attack the ground, the captain of the 10th Flying Squadron of the Third Aviation Group Colonel Oka Nobuhide looked particularly gloomy.

Although he had already been mentally prepared, he still felt a pain in his heart when he saw a heavy bomber worth 37 yen and seven crew members trained by the empire disappear like this.

The bombing of Liantai Airport this time was personally ordered by Lieutenant General Ningji Gangmura, commander of the Third North China Front Army. Before coming here, Lieutenant General Michio Sugawara, commander of the Third Air Group, also asked him to destroy Liantai Airport to ensure that the Imperial Army Air supremacy over the sky in the Zhongtiaoshan area.

According to intelligence, the Liantai Flying Brigade has an airport in the west and east of Liantai County.

After planning, he divided the 10th Flying Squadron into two parts and bombed the two airports at the same time to ensure that all the aircraft of the Taiwan Flying Brigade were destroyed on the ground.

For this reason, he specially brought over all the 32 Type Zero fighters newly equipped for them, and they are lurking above the clouds at 5000 meters. As long as there are fighter planes taking off from Liantai Airport or fighter planes from other places come to help them, they will be like hungry wolves. Generally, they rush down and hit the opponent by surprise.

However, Nobuhide Nakaoka is an experienced commander after all, so he quickly suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and after connecting to the public channel, he said in a deep voice: "Immediately execute Plan No. [-]."

After receiving the order, the Japanese aircraft formation readjusted its combat deployment and started a new round of bombing on the ground.And this time the Japanese planes have also learned their lesson. This time it is not the bulky Type [-] land attack aircraft, but two Type [-] fighter jets.

This kind of fighter jet weighing only 1790 kg is very flexible. They quickly flew towards the airport from east and west directions, and kept doing snake-like movements during the flight, although there were constant shells around it. It exploded, but it didn't hurt them a bit.

Facing the light and flexible Japanese fighter jets, the gunners were a little at a loss and were a little slow to react. Soon, the two Type 300 fighter jets flew over the antiaircraft artillery positions at a distance of more than 25 meters. Four [-]kg aerial bombs were dropped in the sky.

"Boom... boom boom boom..."

Four shells exploded, and the huge blast wave knocked a [-]mm anti-aircraft gun to the ground, and the six gunners beside the anti-aircraft gun also fell into a pool of blood.

After dropping the bombs, the two fighter jets turned lightly and climbed up into the sky, leaving only a group of angry shells blooming in the air behind.

Facing the bombing by the Japanese planes, the anti-aircraft guns around the airport also fired fiercely. The six 88 anti-aircraft guns that were on standby also opened fire. Layers of death barrages formed in the air, and any Japanese aircraft that wanted to pass through the barrages would have to pay the price.

Although everyone knows that this kind of high-intensity shooting cannot last, the airport commanders understand that there are only two things they have to do. One is not to damage the bombers on the apron and runway, and the other is to delay time until reinforcements arrive.

As time passed, the fire intensity of the anti-aircraft artillery around the airport finally began to weaken. Nobuhide Nakaoka, who was hovering high in the sky, saw the opportunity coming, and a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He picked up the microphone and said fiercely: "Bomber Squadron, I'm Nakaoka Nobuhide, have you seen the row of bombers at the airport, blow them to pieces immediately! The Second Squadron will take cover!"

"Hi!"

After hovering in the sky for more than ten minutes, the Japanese pilots who had already suffocated their stomachs responded one after another. Four Type [-] fighter jets took the lead in swooping down towards the airport. bombing channel.

Soon, the four Type 25 fighters that received the order swooped down towards the tarmac, and their targets were more than a dozen B[-] Mitchell medium bombers parked there.

Seeing the Japanese army swooping down, the airport anti-aircraft guns quickly turned their muzzles, and the shells exploded in mid-air. However, the high-intensity firing just now caused many anti-aircraft gun barrels to overheat, so that they had to stop shooting, otherwise there would be explosions. danger.

Facing the firepower with almost half the density, the Type [-] fighter jets shuttled around in mid-air like nimble swallows. Their purpose was to disperse the anti-aircraft artillery firepower at the airport and open up bombing channels for bombers.

Their plan succeeded, and many anti-aircraft guns were attracted by them and chased after them.

"Okay... it's now!" Nakaoka Nobuhide shouted loudly: "Bombing squadron, dive and drop bombs immediately."

"Hi!"

The seven Type 7 attack planes that had been waiting for a long time descended from the sky, roared and rushed down towards the row of B25 bombers on the tarmac. At their current speed, they could drop all the bombs in a few tens of seconds at most, and At this time, most of the anti-aircraft guns were either unable to fire because the barrels were overheated, or they had already been attracted by the few Type [-] attack aircraft, and it was too late to form a blocking barrage.

The commander on the tower closed his eyes in pain. He seemed to have seen the bomber groups that these regiments spent their painstaking effort to get turned into balls of fireballs in the explosion.

Just when everyone was in despair, at some point, more than a dozen fighter planes suddenly rushed down from the sky like lightning. Amid bursts of rapid gunfire, the four [-]-type attack planes that were diving either exploded in the air or shot toward the sky with thick smoke. falling to the ground...
