Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 256 Insert the aerial bomb into the city wall!
In Taiyuan City, Yoshio Iwamatsu sighed in extreme disappointment.He watched helplessly as the observation balloon that he had entrusted with high hopes fell from the sky.

At this time, the old devil remembered one thing. The Eighth Route Army not only has an excellent air force, but also has an anti-aircraft artillery regiment comparable to the inner circle of the United Fleet.

When handing over to Yoshio Shinozuka, the other party reminded him specially.The tragedy just now even reminded him of the Battle of Nuomenkan.

But this is the end of the matter, and there is no use in regretting.

Yoshio Iwamatsu clenched his fists angrily, and then issued a new phase of orders to the correspondent on standby.

"All the artillerymen gave up their mission and immediately moved to the No. [-] reserve position. No one is allowed to fire without my order."

"Let the Santian regiment divide into two groups, and be ready to reinforce Yingzemen, Yinghuimen, and Yichunmen at any time. The Eighth Route Army will definitely launch the main attack from the east and south directions, and the enemy must not touch the city wall!"

"Contact the reinforcements, tell them the current battle situation, and let them rush to help."

After a while, Yoshio Iwamatsu regained his composure.

The current battlefield situation seems to be very unfavorable to the First Army, but the old devil still has a glimmer of hope in defending the city.This courage comes from a strong city wall.

According to the battle report sent back from the front just now, he did not find that the Eighth Route Army had large-caliber heavy artillery of 105mm or more.

This means that the enemy does not have the ability to smash down the city wall.

If you want to attack the city, you must use the most primitive tactics.In other words, the opponent must use a sufficient amount of explosives to blast at a fixed point, and then need to carry a ladder to climb up the city wall.

The above series of processes are more beneficial to the defender.

The Eighth Route Army does have an advantage in firepower, but it cannot disregard the casualties of its own soldiers and bombard the city walls indiscriminately.

After a sudden realization, Yoshio Iwamatsu raised the telescope in his hand and continued to observe the situation of Lu Hang.In the heart of the old devil, he had already begun to look forward to the sight of the moat being dyed red.

······
From Wusu Airport to the airspace of the Southern Group, there is only a 23-kilometer flight.

Spitfire MK9 and Hurricane MK2B can definitely be ranked in the first echelon of fighter jets in the current era.At their speed, even including the taxiing time on the runway, they can reach the battlefield within 5 minutes.

As soon as everyone entered the combat airspace, they saw the gorgeous fireball over Taiyuan City.

"Captain, the devils actually saved a move. It seems that they haven't completely given up fighting back."

"It's a pity. I haven't played such a thing as an observation balloon. I don't know if I will have a chance to encounter it in the future."

While everyone was talking, the sudden attack of the antiaircraft artillery regiment attracted the attention of the pilots.

That was a salvo of 150 Hotchkiss 25mm anti-aircraft guns. No one could ignore such a powerful firepower. There was even a soldier who subconsciously wanted to dodge.

As soon as the cannon sounded, Captain Wang Hai began to look for the enemy plane.

Following the trajectory of the tracer bombs, he quickly locked on to the dive bombers trying to break through the anti-aircraft fire network.

"The mission has changed, giving priority to supporting the artillery."

"The target is two [-]s single light, and the enemy cannot drop the aerial bombs."

"Now the enemy is weak and we are strong, everyone dives with me. Try to kill all the enemies in the first wave of attack!"

As the first formation to dispatch, the strength of the remaining five pilots is not bad.

They have experienced the baptism of the Zhongtiaoshan air battle, and even everyone has a record of shooting down.Knowing that mental arithmetic and unintentional raids can play a decisive role.

After receiving the order, the five Hurricanes followed closely behind the Spitfire.

All fighter jets turned sideways and changed course, using their energy advantage to attack the unsuspecting [-] Danqing.

It seemed that the sixth sense had given the warning. Eiichi Ishida, who was still diving towards the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, involuntarily glanced backwards under the guidance of his intuition.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

In the sky above our own side, there are actually several fighter jets chasing them.The leader is the 079 Spitfire, which is well-known in the entire North China Army, Army and Aviation.

"San Gu-kun! After"

Before he could finish speaking, Captain Wang Hai had successfully locked and pulled the trigger. The 20mm western cannon hits the target with ease like a hot knife cutting butter.

"boom!"

A few seconds later, the first [-] Shanqing exploded in the air, and the body was torn apart.The exploding aviation gasoline ignited a fire and slowly fell from the sky.

Captain Wang Hai pressed the lever and pushed the rudder, maneuvering the fighter plane to roll to avoid the wreckage of the enemy plane.He didn't take care of the other one, but flew directly towards the reinforced concrete fortress.

The teammates lived up to their trust, and the other dive bomber ended up being tortured to death.

There were two hurricanes staring at Sangu Kangfeng, 24 7.62mm Browning machine guns were fired directly, and the bullets from the small water pipes penetrated into the enemy's cockpit like they had eyes.

The scene was like crushing a fat bug, with red blood and white brains splattering everywhere.

Out of control, Jiuqi Danqing, blowing black smoke, fell towards the direction away from the battlefield.

The support of the First Air Division greatly shocked the morale of the artillerymen on the ground, and everyone wanted to follow the infantry to charge into battle.

The movement in the sky was also clearly seen by the staff officers of the field headquarters.The battle of the Air Force is so pleasing to the eye no matter how many times you watch it.

"Commander, the comrades of the First Air Division have already started to act."

"Do you think we should attack now and cooperate with Captain Wang Hai to launch a siege operation?"

This seemingly reasonable proposal was rejected by the brigade commander.

The current Eighth Route Army has always been known for field battles, and has never tried urban battles.

If the troops want to take Taiyuan with the least damage and the fastest speed, they cannot do without the help of the Air Force.

After all, close air support is an effective tactical means that can severely damage high-value enemy targets or destroy enemy fortifications.

Just like the early stage of the Tour de France tank cross-country race, the Stuka dive bomber of Desan, greatly increased the advancement speed of the ground armored forces.

The Il-2 and Cannon Bird on the Eastern Front also beat the opponent's logistics troops to the point of crying.

However, this tactic extremely tested the synergy between the infantry and the aircraft. Most of the fighters of the First Air Division had only one month of actual combat experience, and the infantry was not fully accustomed to the battlefield with air support.

If either of the two sides makes a mistake, the bomb will deviate from the target, and the efficiency of the operation will be greatly reduced.More seriously, the aerial guns and aerial bombs flew directly on the infantry's heads, and they were infamy for beating the friendly army.

After all, the reality is not Anton Star, the enemy's head will not be automatically marked with red, and their names will appear.

Even a certain country in later generations has popularized precision-guided weapons, and there are special guides on the ground to ensure the accuracy of weapons and the safety of friendly troops.

But on the battlefield, there have been cases of warthogs accidentally injuring friendly troops.

For the Eighth Route Army at this stage, before the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau has developed advanced radio technology, the best way to coordinate is to use fighter planes as flying artillery.

After the air force has cleaned up the enemies on the ground, the infantry will clean up the battlefield to end the battle.

This is the coordinated solution that maximizes damage and minimizes the possibility of friendly fire.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the staff.The brigade commander can only pour a basin of cold water temporarily.

"Wait a little longer, let the First Air Division clear the reinforced concrete fortress first, and blow up the city wall before setting off."

"I applied to the deputy chief of staff for [-] hours of combat time, and now I haven't even used up one-thirtieth of it. We still have plenty of time."

"Let the sappers prepare for battle, those remaining obstacles and moats need them to deal with."

······
The perspective switches to outside Taiyuan City, and a fighter jet is swooping down at high speed.

In the era without precision guidance systems, horizontal bombing was only effective with carpet bombing.If you want to bomb a certain target accurately, you can only choose dive bombing.

If it is in the European battlefield, when the fighter plane dives towards the ground, it is definitely a challenge to death.After all, the field air defense strength of those veteran military powers is very high, and it can even be said to be flying in anti-aircraft guns.

But the situation is different now. The devils in the reinforced concrete fortress are simply lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

During the dive, Captain Wang Hai aimed at the fortifications below while bearing a considerable overload.

After reaching a safe location, he pressed the bomb button.A 250kg aerial bomb left the pylon.

At the same time, in order to avoid the contact between the bomb and the propeller, the nose of the Spitfire was suddenly pulled up.

As the pilot with the strongest comprehensive strength in the First Air Division, Captain Wang Hai directly hit the target with this bombing.The moment the aerial bomb came into contact with the fortress, it made a huge roar.

The power of this level of aerial bombs is astonishing. If you simply count the amount of charge, the HE charge of the American 406 and Yamato 460 is not as much as it.

A Tiger King will be completely destroyed if it is hit by a near miss from 15 meters away.

If it is in the city, the glass of about one kilometer will be shattered.

With just one dive attack, the fortress that the M1897 75mm cannon could not penetrate with armor-piercing shells was destroyed.

Half an hour later, all reinforced concrete fortifications were removed.

Captain Wang Hai is about to return to the battlefield, and his next target is the city wall ahead.

Because Taiyuan's city wall is extremely strong, high and thick, its defense is very strong.Even the Japanese army back then could only blast out the gap with heavy artillery of 105 and 150 calibers.

With the current strength of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, there is no chance of breaking the situation.

Just when the brigade commander was about to design a set of tactics around fixed-point blasting, Captain Wang Hai took the initiative to put forward his own ideas.

Under normal circumstances, after the aerial bomb is thrown on the city wall, there is a high chance that it will bounce off.

Even the most powerful 250kg aerial bomb of the [-]st Air Division would basically have no lethality if it exploded more than ten meters away, let alone blast the city wall.

If steel bars are installed around the aerial bomb, and the principle of gravitational potential energy and rotational energy is used to insert the steel bars on the city wall after the bomb is dropped, this will definitely cause great damage to the city wall.

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked.

In order to test the possibility of this plan, Captain Wang Hai went out in person.

After dozens of experiments, everyone found that the metal thorns must be dropped at a 45-degree angle to have a certain probability of piercing the city wall and fixing the bomb.

To drop the bomb at a 45-degree angle means flying the plane very low.As for the first division of Kong, there are no more than one person with this strength.

　This program has real cases.

　　When Tengchong was fought back then, the city walls were bombed like this.
