my bright sword career

Chapter 85

The sudden anti-aircraft artillery startled the Japanese pilots who thought it was an easy hunting operation. Only then did they remember that what they were going to bomb this time was not the Chinese army with simple weapons and basically no air defense capabilities.

On the ground, this army once inflicted heavy damage on their 21st flight team in Kenanpo. In that bombing, the attacking flight formation dispatched [-] planes, and finally lost ten planes and dozens of crew members. end.

Today they dispatched a total of 22 planes, including [-] bombers and six fighter jets, in order to destroy this nascent armored force in one fell swoop, in order to avenge the death of a few months ago.

But I never thought that this armored force actually had anti-aircraft artillery, that's all. After observation, the pilots were surprised to find that these anti-aircraft firepower seemed to be able to move, which was beyond their cognition.

"Baga, why is the anti-aircraft firepower of the Chinese still moving?"

"No, the Chinese installed the anti-aircraft guns on the tanks!"

"Their firepower is very fierce, everyone be careful."

"Help...they're chasing me... someone help me!"

The exclamation of the Japanese pilots resounded everywhere in the communication channel.

"Dong dong dong..."

A series of dense firepower kept erupting on the ground, and the scorching flames kept chasing the planes in the sky.

The first attack just now was a Whirlwind 20mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, which was a self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery completed by Germany in May 1944 in another time and space.

It was developed on the basis of the No. 9 tank chassis. The No. [-] tank turret was removed and replaced with a semi-open turret surrounded by [-] armor plates.

该车有5名人员组成，（指挥官指挥、炮手、两名装填手、无线电联络员驾驶员），装备了1座20毫米四联装Flak 38型防空高炮（备弹3200发），另外还有一挺 MG34通用机枪作为辅助武器。

This self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was designed, and the Germans who had high hopes for it were disappointed to find that the 20mm cannon was really powerless to deal with the thick-skinned and thick-skinned high-altitude bombers of the Allies.

So the Germans designed another anti-aircraft self-propelled artillery nicknamed Dongfeng. This self-propelled artillery is also based on the site of the Panzer IV. It also adopts a semi-open hexagonal turret and is equipped with a 37mm Flak 43 anti-aircraft gun.

The Dongfeng self-propelled artillery makes up for the lack of shooting height of the Whirlwind self-propelled artillery. When the two are combined, it is enough to deal with air threats below 3000 meters.

At the beginning of the establishment of the armored regiment, Gao Hongming hesitated for a long time about whether to add an air defense company to the armored battalion. After all, the more vehicles, the more manpower is required and the more difficult it is to form.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and formed this air defense company consisting of 6 Dongfeng self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and twelve cyclone anti-aircraft guns, not for anything else, but because he was afraid that the armored battalion would not be helpless in the event of an air attack.

Today's sudden air strike also proves that Gao Hongming's original decision was wise.

After a short period of panic, the armored battalion in Wolf Valley began to move. The young armored soldiers started their tanks to maneuver and evade, while the soldiers of the air defense company drove the high-speed mobile while shooting at the sky. .

On a Whirlwind self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, two loaders are nervously loading the shells. The commander is observing and generally notifying the enemy aircraft's position, while the gunner is responsible for aiming and shooting.

"Dong dong dong..."

Amidst the rapid sound of artillery shells, dense shells poured towards the sky non-stop, and more than a dozen tongues of flame formed a deadly fire net in the sky, posing a great threat to the incoming Japanese planes.

"boom!"

A No. 22.5 tank was driving rapidly towards a jungle in the east. Just as it was about to enter the jungle, a [-]kg bomb exploded beside it. The huge explosion and shock wave knocked the [-]-ton tank sideways. Turned over to the side, the whole tank emitted black smoke, and the crew inside did not know whether they were alive or dead.

The one who dropped the bomb was a Nakajima I-type fighter jet. After dropping the bomb, the fighter plane flipped its wings, turned over dexterously, and rose quickly with its head up to leave the battlefield.

It's just that it was still a step slow, and just as it was flying towards the sky with its head held high, a Whirlwind self-propelled anti-aircraft gun locked on it. With a burst of violent shooting, the angry gunner stepped on the launch pedal.

Four 20mm anti-aircraft guns poured out flames at the same time. In just a few seconds, 60 shells shrouded the Type I fighter in the fire net. With a violent explosion, the Type I fighter flew in midair. The plane was torn to pieces, and the pilot inside was disintegrated in mid-air along with the plane before he could jump out.

"Takagi-kun..."

Fujino Shigeharu in the sky closed his eyes in pain after seeing this scene. The pilot of the Type [-] fighter that was hit by the anti-aircraft gun and exploded in the air just now was transferred from the mainland not long ago.

In Fujino Shigeharu's view, this young man from Aichi County is smart and brave, and he is a rare talent. He was prepared to train well, but he never thought that he would be killed in battle for the first time today.

The volley disintegration of the Type [-] fighter did not make the Japanese flinch, but instead aroused their anger. Under the command of Fujino Shigeharu, the remaining five Type [-] fighters began to dive down from the sky, taking advantage of the advantages of maneuverability and flexibility to continuously shuttle in and out of Japan. In the fire net, the idea of ​​trying to attract anti-aircraft firepower in order to open up bombing channels for bombers.

"Nine o'clock, visual distance 300 meters above the sky, a Type [-] fighter is diving towards me." A whirlwind self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery gunner said loudly while looking up.

The loader immediately stirred the steering machine and the high-low machine, and the large cross ring direct sight quickly aimed at the incoming Type [-] heavy explosive machine.

Then step on the shooting switch with your right foot.

"Dong dong dong..."

Accompanied by the silent and rapid sound, the quadruple 20mm artillery guns fired rapidly at the Type [-] fighter that was rushing down in their direction.

You must know that although the Type 60 fighter is mainly engaged in air combat, it can also carry two 7.7kg bombs for bombing missions when performing ground attack missions, and its two [-]mm machine guns are also deadly to the gunners who have no protection on their heads. threat.

This bomber was also quite cunning. He dived while evading left and right continuously. The shells of the anti-aircraft guns passed by the fuselage several times, and the shells were not concentrated on the tail until they reached a height of about 80 meters.

The injured plane will definitely not be able to go back. The pilot of the Japanese plane gritted his teeth and desperately steered the plane towards the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun...
