Chapter 48 Air Defense
For anti-aircraft guns, 6000 meters is a hurdle.

Unless it is a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun, ordinary anti-aircraft guns are out of reach for aircraft flying above [-].

When forming the anti-aircraft artillery company a few days ago, Gao Hongming also thought about buying the Bofors L/70 40mm anti-aircraft gun, but after looking at the data, he found that this anti-aircraft gun has a shooting height of only 3000 meters and can only deal with medium and medium-sized artillery. It was a low-altitude target, so after thinking about it, he set his sights on the German-made 88mm anti-aircraft gun.

Of course, some people may say why not buy both types of anti-aircraft guns, so that both high, medium and low altitude are taken into account.

But the biggest problem now is that even if the anti-aircraft guns are bought back, it will be useless if there are not enough gunners to operate them. They can't be bought as decorations.

Moreover, the 88 anti-aircraft gun is the most successful artillery developed by Germany in another time and space, not one of them.

This antiaircraft gun destroyed at least 6400 aircraft of the British and American coalition forces and 2.4 aircraft of other countries throughout World War II.

As an anti-aircraft artillery, it has unparalleled anti-tank capabilities, which can be called a terrifying existence, so German gunners also gave it a vivid nickname, anti-all artillery.

Now this artillery that has become a nightmare for the British and American Allied Forces is "greeting" to its Axis allies in the sky.

"Boom...boom..."

When the 88mm anti-aircraft gun showed its ferocious fangs, the nightmare of the Japanese army began.

Thanks to the rate of fire of 22~25 rounds per minute, in less than 1 minute, the 8 88mm anti-aircraft guns of the air defense company tilted hundreds of shells towards the sky. Established, because the gunner's proficiency is too low, otherwise this number can be doubled.

The consequences of nearly a hundred shells exploding in the fleet were disastrous.

The Japanese planes caught off guard, in less than a minute, two 1 Type [-] heavy bombers and a Type [-] fighter jet emitted thick smoke, turned somersaults amidst strange screams It hit the ground, and the Type [-] fighter disintegrated into pieces in mid-air.

"Uami-kun... Ono-kun..."

Watching the fighter plane falling with black smoke and exploding in mid-air, Ryoichi Yamagami felt his heart bleeding.

As a bomber developed in the late 30s, the Type 2500 heavy bomber quickly became the main bomber of the Japanese Army Aviation with a range of 1000 and a bomb load of [-] kg.

In the Battle of Nomonhan last year, this bomber also played a very important role, but now this plane worth 12 yen has lost two planes in less than 1 minute. He bought a Type [-] fighter worth [-] yen.

This is not the most important thing. What made Ryoichi Yamagami feel distressed the most was that none of the fifteen crew members in the three fighter planes could escape.

You know, this is not an army red deer that can be recruited for two stamps, but an excellent personnel of the Army Aviation that has been trained for at least several years.

Ryoichi Yamagami, who had been dazzled by anger, gave the order to attack without thinking.

"All units follow my orders. The bombers give priority to bombing the air defense positions on the ground, and the fighter jets are responsible for covering them. Those Chinese who dare to provoke the Great Japanese Empire must be sent to hell."

"Hi!"

Under the order of Ryoichi Yamagami, the remaining ten bombers and five fighter jets rushed towards the air defense company on the road...

Hu Dahai, who was standing behind an 88 anti-aircraft gun emplacement, held up a binoculars in his right hand and a tin horn in his left hand, constantly directing the emplacement to adjust the muzzle.

"Attention... the Devil's plane is coming towards us, at an altitude of 2800, at six o'clock...fire!"

"Boom...boom..."

There were several rounds of salvos in a row, and the 88mm anti-aircraft guns continued to pour flames, accompanied by puffs of thick smoke floating in the sky, but this time the air defense company was not very lucky, because the Japanese bombers had been scattered. The skin of the machine was not scratched.

"You're all fucking dead, you didn't hit at such a close."

Gao Hongming, who was watching the battle from the side, rushed over and yelled at Hu Dahai: "Hu Dahai, what do you do, air defense company commander? Look at what kind of artillery your soldiers are shooting. faster than you.

Did you not have breakfast this morning?Let me tell you, if you can't fire 1 shells within 20 minute, you, the company commander, don't do it, and let Lao Tzudu's medical team clean the toilets for those nurses. "

Hu Dahai, a man in his thirties from the Northwest, blushed instantly when he heard this, and roared angrily, rushed to the back and kicked a loader's ass and roared angrily.

"What the hell are you all doing? Didn't you hear what the officer said? If you can't hit 1 rings in one minute, you all have to follow me to the sanitation team to clean the toilet!"

The gunners were also anxious when they heard this, they are all men of seven feet, who can bear this grievance.

A loader took off his jacket, rushed to the back, picked up a high-explosive shell and stuffed it into the barrel, closed the breech block with his right hand, and shouted at the same time: "One shot!"

Immediately afterwards, the gunner yelled after making a slight adjustment: "Get ready... let it go!"

"Boom...boom..."

Under the yelling and cursing of the officers, the gunners also became ruthless, and all the loaders took turns to go into battle, and the twenty-jin shells were stuffed into the barrel of the gun one by one and fired.

The 88mm anti-aircraft gun is made up of 12 people (some say 9 people), and the loader alone is 6 people.

Yes, you're not mistaken.It is precisely because there are six loaders that this gun has a terrifying rate of fire of up to 25 rounds per minute.

Under the desperate loading of the loader, eight 8mm anti-aircraft guns shot a barrage of death in the sky.

Although the Japanese planes tried their best to dodge, but soon the Japanese planes were hit.

Two [-]-type heavy explosive planes that were diving towards the ground rushed to the ground with thick smoke, and finally, together with a ton of explosives carried by the plane, turned into flames that soared into the sky.

"Ono...what the hell are you doing? Why don't you open up a flight path? Didn't you see that I lost two more planes? If you continue to be so afraid of death, I will sue you to His Excellency Fujino when you go back."

Captain Ono Junsheng, the captain of the escort squadron, was scolded bloody, and the Type [-] fighter that was shot down just now happened to be his wingman, so he yelled at the communicator in his heart: "First Squad From left to right, the second team from right to left, launched an attack on the Chinese air defense position, and must open up a channel for the bombers."

"understand!"

The voices of the other four pilots came from the headset at the same time.

Soon, amidst a roar, five Type [-] fighters rushed towards the air defense company on the road...
