my bright sword career

Chapter 49 Indecision
"Hurry up...the devil's plane is coming down, hurry up and shoot!"

On both sides of the road, twelve MG42 fire teams equipped with tripods in air-to-air mode poured out flames at the five fighters falling from the sky.

"Kakkaka..."

Twelve flames chased the Japanese plane in the sky, but because the speed of the Japanese plane's dive was too fast, the bullets fired could only follow the Japanese plane in vain.

When the Japanese planes dived to an altitude of 600 meters, they opened fire.

"Da da da da..."

In a burst of rapid gunfire, two flames flew across the road. Three members of a machine gun team fell into a pool of blood on the spot. Several bullets chasing behind.

"Idiot...playing in advance...in advance..."

Seeing the casualties, Hu Dahai not far away jumped anxiously, but he had no choice but to direct the 88 anti-aircraft guns to continue firing into the sky.

At this time, Yan Xishan, who had already entered the cave, heard the report from his subordinates that Gao Hongming not only did not enter the cave to avoid the air raid, but ran to the front line to command the troops to carry out air defense, he was so angry that he almost scolded his mother.

It was Sun Chu who comforted him: "Calm down your anger, Chief Yan, Gao Hongming has such a temperament. Ever since Mr. Gao was killed by the Japanese, he and the Japanese have formed a blood feud, otherwise he would not have pulled up a team to fight against the Japanese, and even ran away." I went to Cangyun Ridge to participate in the battle and seized this alliance flag, do you think this is the reason?"

"That's true."

Hearing what Sun Chu said, Yan Xishan's complexion improved a little bit, but he was still displeased and said: "That's what I said, but there will be a press conference tomorrow, so if you run out so recklessly, what if What if something goes wrong? Wouldn’t the press conference become a memorial service?”

"Woo...boom...boom..."

As soon as Yan Xishan finished speaking, he heard two consecutive huge explosions nearby. The scale of the explosion was so large that the people in the cave could even feel that the ground trembled for a while.

Before everyone could ask, an officer in charge of observation rushed in and said loudly with joy, "Good news... good news... Commander Gao's air defense force shot down three enemy planes in a row, all of which crashed in the Now the commander Gao is commanding the air defense force to engage in a fierce battle with the Japanese bomber fleet."

"Oh, nice!"

The people in the cave were surprised at first, and then they were overjoyed.

Mr. He Changqing, the chairman of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, said repeatedly: "Very good... you are very good. This leader Gao is indeed the pride of our Shanxi children. Congratulations, Chief Yan... You have produced talents in Liantai."

Hearing the news that the Japanese plane had been shot down, Yan Xishan also turned from anger to joy, and stroked the beard on his lips with his right hand, thinking about how to spread the news quickly tomorrow.

When he was thinking about how to spread the news, he saw that He Changqing was about to leave the cave, and the people around him stopped him in fright: "Mr. He, where are you going? Japanese planes are bombing outside. It's dangerous to go out!"

He Changqing smiled lightly: "This old man is already seventy-eight years old, and he is about to reach his octogenarian age. He has enjoyed all the blessings he should have enjoyed, and even if he dies today, there is nothing to regret.

Now, in Shanxi, I am fighting fiercely with Japanese planes outside. Even though I can’t go forward to help carry the shells, it is still possible to cheer for them from a distance, so please don’t stop me, let me take advantage of it. Do what you need to do when you move. "

Many people only felt that their faces were hot when they heard this, and they didn't dare to stop him, so they could only watch him walk out of the cave.

After a while, Wang Jingguo, commander of the Thirteenth Group Army, said with a wry smile: "Ashamed, it stands to reason that marching and fighting is the bounden duty of those in the army, but now it is actually compared to a merchant, ashamed... ashamed... Yan Sir, please allow me to go out and accompany Mr. He, even if we can't help, we can still cheer."

Yan Xishan turned his head and glanced at the crowd, and laughed: "Brother Wang has already said that, if we have anything to say, then just count me in... Let's go..."

After that, he strode out of the cave.

When everyone saw that the eldest of the family had gone out, could he still stay in the cave, so all the people followed him out of the cave.

Yan Xishan and others came to a hidden slope under the escort of the guards and began to watch the battle.

At this time, the battle reached its climax.

I saw five Japanese planes swooping around the anti-aircraft artillery positions on both sides of the road, and the air defense forces on the road were also firing wildly, and the air was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder.

"Quick... Hurry up and mount the gun..."

"Fire...fire..."

Gao Hongming also fired real fire. He ordered the troops to mount all the machine guns on tripods, start air defense mode and start shooting into the air.

After the expansion, the militia machine guns have been equipped to the squad level, and there are nearly a hundred MG42 machine guns in the entire militia.

When hundreds of MG42s fired into the air together, Juno Ono's luck came to an end.

Although most machine gunners have not received systematic training in anti-aircraft shooting, the amount of advance is not very clear.

But sometimes quantitative changes can also lead to qualitative changes.

Hundreds of machine guns poured out their tongues of fire at the sky, enveloping the Type [-] fighter that was diving and firing at low altitude in the fire net. A Type [-] fighter that had destroyed a machine gun group just pulled up its nose, and only saw this plane There was a sudden tremor, and then a burst of black smoke began to emit from the nose, and soon it fell headfirst to the ground, making a loud explosion.

"Okay... good fight... kill these bastards!"

There was a burst of cheers from afar, and Yan Xishan was taken aback. At some point, many people had already stood on the surrounding hillsides, some even stood on the roof of the cave dwelling, cheering for the air defense company.

"Hit me... hit me hard..."

Under the fire net composed of hundreds of MG42s, Ono Junsheng could no longer hold on. In less than 10 minutes, he lost two more fighters. He had no choice but to order to return to the high altitude to avoid the firepower net on the ground, and he had no choice but to report to Ryoichi Yamagami.

"Your Excellency on the mountain, my escort squadron has suffered heavy losses and is no longer able to open up a bombing channel for you."

Seeing that there were only two fighter planes left in the escort squadron, Ryoichi Yamagami was anxious and angry.

The Huaxia anti-aircraft guns not only shot high, but also had unexpected firepower. In just over ten minutes, his twelve bomber fleet lost two more. Such a heavy loss is very rare in recent years. .

If you want to continue the bombing, but you are afraid that the loss will be too great, you want to retreat too far, and you are afraid that the team leader Fujino Shigeharu will punish you, so you start to hesitate for a while.
