Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 376 Kill until the devils are green and yellow!
In addition to military strength and the quality of soldiers, the most important thing in war is to lie.

This is Duan Wu's in-depth understanding of tactics.Whether it is Sun Tzu's Art of War or Sun Bin's Art of War, to put it bluntly, it is inseparable from this lie.

If you deceive the enemy, you will win, even if your military strength and the quality of your soldiers are far inferior to the opponent.Because you have tricked the enemy into your strategy, and you have already grasped the initiative on the battlefield, it will be difficult for you not to win.

The Japanese Air Force Wing was deceived by the Dragon Boat Festival. They were sure that the anti-aircraft artillery of the Jiangyin Fortress would not be able to see them if they did not turn on the identification lights.

But they were wrong. Duan Wu never thought of seeing every plane clearly, but sent someone to the camp where the Japanese army had been bombed.

Do you still remember that the first battalion of the 672 regiment went to the Japanese camp to search?

They didn't just search, but scouted the enemy's bonfire beacons.The result of the investigation was just as expected by the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was based on the layout of the Jiangyin Fortress.

The Japanese army's first air strike went to the position of the 672 regiment.And the second air strike may be a full-scale bombing.

Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival arranged anti-aircraft artillery on the only way the Japanese aircraft must pass early.

When four flares are hit by anti-aircraft guns to an altitude of 7000 meters, it will be a nightmare for all Japanese pilots.

Their eyes had already adapted to the darkness, but the sudden bright light caused their pupils to constrict suddenly, and they entered a state of temporary blindness.

The devil couldn't operate, and could only wait for the damn blindness to disappear.

The captain of the Japanese flight wing was in the middle and rear of the flight formation, and the impact he received was relatively small.He loudly ordered the plane in front not to move around, and to drop bombs according to the original plan.

Although the captain of the Japanese army at this time had already realized that something was wrong, he had no choice but to act.What's more, he had received the news that the soldiers in front were temporarily blind through the radio.If you operate indiscriminately, the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery may not hit, and their planes will collide by themselves.

Moreover, the captain of the Guizi Flying Coalition has realized that he has been fooled, and the enemy troops in the Jiangyin Fortress have always been able to see them.

Flares are fired into the air by large-caliber anti-aircraft guns.He only hoped that after the flares disappeared, the Chinese soldiers could not see them again.

Of course, this is also good news for Japanese aircraft.The flares not only illuminated them, but also allowed them to see clearly the position of the enemy's air defense positions.

So flares are a double-edged sword, no different from daytime air strikes.Both sides are playing luck.

Of course, what the Japanese army did not expect was that when the flares dimmed again, the second wave of flares they imagined did not appear.

The pilots of the vanguard of the flying wing also recovered from the brief blindness.

"Baga! What are the Chinese people doing? They don't attack, but just dazzle our eyes?"

"Maybe they don't have the courage to face the air force of the Imperial Japanese Army head-on."

"Yes, the Chinese have almost no anti-aircraft weapons. They can't do anything to us."

"Those stupid pigs of the Fujino Brigade fell into the trick of the Chinese, and fell into an ambush when they were shooting at the enemy's position."

"Yes, as long as we keep bombing at an altitude above 800 meters, the anti-aircraft weapons of the Chinese will not be able to do anything to us."

"Warriors of the empire, we are ready to drop bombs, and the target is 1000 meters to 800 meters to dive and drop bombs,"

"Hi!"

···················
The Japanese First Flying Brigade and the Second Flying Brigade were already preparing to drop bombs in the dark night.

After the sudden appearance of the flares just now, they were much more vigilant.They don't risk diving down to near the ground.Although which bomb will be more accurate.But ruining his life for a small gap, as well as the empire's plane, is still not worthwhile.

So devils are not really not afraid of death, they only choose to die when there is no other way.Otherwise, if the pilots died with the enemy every time they went on a mission, all the pilots of the Devils would have died long ago.

At the same time, Zhou Weiguo was complaining about why the flares were fired so early in the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Japanese planes never arrived, which could only reveal his intentions.

Zhou Weiguo was going crazy with hatred, if this was his soldier, he would kick Duan Wu aside with one kick.

But it's a pity that Duanwu alone has the final say in the entire defense zone, and he even twisted up.

Duan Wu stood at the entrance of the air-raid shelter, threw away the walking stick in his hand, and slowly raised his hands upwards, as if he was holding some ceremony.

Crazy, nervous, among the countless eyes in the cave, Duan Wu is the commander who is the least like a commander.Many people even think that the Dragon Boat Festival is a disease of the brain.

But in the eyes of those old men in the independent regiment, this battle has already come to an end.

Just when the flares ended and the whole world returned to darkness again, the anti-aircraft weapons of Jiangyin Fortress rang.

But this time, it was not the Surotong ST-5 20mm cannon that fired first.

Although the Su Luotong ST-5 20mm machine gun has superior performance, its effective range is only 2000 meters, which is almost the same as the effective range of an anti-aircraft machine gun.And at this time, it is not the time for it to show off its power, because its rate of fire is too fast, even the Dragon Boat Festival can't bear it.

Just before, when the Dragon Boat Festival destroyed six Japanese bombers in a short period of time, the ammunition consumption of the Su Luotong ST-5 20mm machine gun reached more than 300 rounds, and the consumption of anti-aircraft machine guns reached a terrifying level. More than 800 rounds of bullets.

This is simply an astronomical figure for the Jiangyin Fortress, which was not originally given anti-aircraft weapons.

Therefore, when the Japanese aircraft was about 1.2 kilometers away from the Jiangyin Fortress and flying at an altitude of 2000 meters, it was impossible for the Dragon Boat Festival to use small-caliber machine guns or anti-aircraft machine guns.

Because this is meaningless, it's just a simple consumption of bullets.

However, if this is the case, why did the Dragon Boat Festival launch flares in advance?

There are no more than two reasons. The first is to determine the target location, because no one can judge the location of the Japanese aircraft based on the sound alone.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, it is necessary to see the exact position of the Japanese plane in a short time, and calculate the flight speed of the Japanese plane, so as to determine the time to fire.

The second point is to prepare for the shelling.

Because it has reached this point in time, the Japanese army is ready to drop bombs, they cannot change the battle formation at all, and it is very dangerous to change the battle formation during this time period.

If they want to temporarily change the formation, they must turn on the identification lights, so that the planes can recognize each other, otherwise the original formation will be disrupted, the planes will fly randomly, and it is very likely that they will collide.

Therefore, without changing the formation of the Japanese aircraft, the ground air defense artillery can completely determine the position of the Japanese aircraft with short memory.

Sure?

Of course, this is just a joke, because it is impossible to determine the location of the Japanese aircraft in such a short period of time, and some are only an approximate location.

But this is enough for the Dragon Boat Festival. He ordered the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun and the Bofors 88mm anti-aircraft gun to fire.

Bofors 40mm and 88mm anti-aircraft guns, both produced in Sweden, can be regarded as one of the most famous anti-aircraft weapons of World War II.

Its excellence lies not only in its excellent performance, but also in the fact that it is the only anti-aircraft gun that is mass-produced and used by both sides in combat, whether it is Germany in the Axis alliance or the United Kingdom and the United States in the same country. equipment.It is present in every theater of World War II.

And especially the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun, its rate of fire is also very fast, its maximum rate of fire can reach 120 rounds per minute, the initial velocity of the shell can reach 854 m/s, and it can hit 0.9 kg of shells to 7200 meters height.

And the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun will automatically load the next shell after the previous shell is fired, and will not stop working until the ammunition is exhausted. It is completely an automatic launch weapon.

All this makes the 40mm "Bofors" anti-aircraft gun a successful anti-aircraft gun.

The Bofors 88mm anti-aircraft gun has almost the same design concept as the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun, and is even more powerful.It's just that this steel monster weighing about five tons is extremely difficult to move, so it has always been used as an anti-aircraft weapon for the Huangshan Fort.

But at this time, two Bofors 88mm anti-aircraft guns were cooperating with eight Bofors 8mm anti-aircraft guns to blindly fire the Japanese fleet.

Because the artillery could not see the exact location of the Japanese aircraft, they could only fire blindly.But this is not important, because the Japanese aircraft are all on the scheduled ballistic trajectory for the Dragon Boat Festival.

When the flames soared into the sky, a series of explosions came one after another in the air.Five bombers and fighter jets of the No. [-] Brigade of the Futian Air Wing of the Japanese Army were hit almost at the same time, and exploded and caught fire.

The terrifying explosion carried aircraft debris flying randomly in the air, directly causing two of the three nearby aircraft to be destroyed, and one was seriously injured and lost power, and fell to the Yangtze River.

Seeing this, the plane behind him evaded urgently.But I didn't want the two planes to hide in the wrong direction and collide with each other.

After a loud bang, the two planes exploded and spread over a wider area, and the scattered shrapnel hit four planes.

Two of them were destroyed, and the other two were wounded and fled, one on the left and one on the right.

"Evade, evade!"

The captain of the Futian flight wing gave orders loudly, but at this time, only the seven or eight planes behind him could answer him. The rest of the planes either exploded and crashed, or were trying their best to avoid the artillery fire from the ground and the air. Dissipated explosion.

The Futian Flying Wing suffered a near-destructive blow before it was bombed.At least fifteen aircraft were destroyed or wounded in this shelling.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Weiguo was extremely shocked.He originally thought that the Dragon Boat Festival was a pig, and fired flares before the Japanese planes dropped the bombs.The Japanese army was alerted.But how did he know that Duanwu was just checking to see if the Japanese planes were on the trajectory of the artillery.

Moreover, why did the Japanese air strike plan succeed?
Although most of the forts in the Jiangyin Fortress are in air-raid shelters, it is difficult for Japanese aircraft to pose a threat to them.But the outer positions are also very important.These positions are the guarantee of all officers and soldiers of the 112th Division.

The Dragon Boat Festival cannot let the Japanese planes destroy them all easily.He just wanted to injure the Japanese plane before it dropped the bomb, and anger the devils again.

Because when a person is provoked, he often loses his mind.And at this time, it was time for the Dragon Boat Festival to collect heads.For the Japanese army, the Dragon Boat Festival will always have only one tactical concept, which is to kill and injure the opponent's vital forces in large numbers.Kill until the devils can't catch them!
