Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 288 Bofors 40mm Anti-aircraft Gun!
"Yes, division commander."

Major General Tada Hideki nodded, and then sent someone to order the devil troops who crossed the river to make preparations to board the boat and cross the Nanliu River.

Takeshita Taro, on the other hand, continued to raise his binoculars to observe the artillery bombardment of his own artillery group on the possible enemy defensive positions in the north bank of the Nanliu River.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The shells whizzed across the old devil's head at high speed, and then slammed into the ground on the north bank of the Nanliu River. The loud explosion immediately overturned the soil.

"Boom, boom, boom! Boom!"

The ear-piercing explosion soon came from the north bank of the Nanliu River.

Seeing the smoke from the explosion and the huge water column produced after the Nanliu River exploded, the old devil Takeshita Taro laughed ferociously.

"Yo Xi, the enemy's positions on the north bank of the Nanliu River have been blasted into scorched earth after such artillery bombardment!"

Takeshita Taro snorted and sneered.

"We've been bombing for more than 10 minutes, Division Chief."

Major General Tada Hideki, chief of staff of the 41st Division, smiled and said, "Anyway, I think it shouldn't be a problem for the enemy's surface positions on the north bank of the Nanliu River to be blown into scorched earth at least."

"As long as our next river-crossing fleet successfully lands, lands and kills them, under the continued cover of air strikes and subsequent artillery fire, the imperial infantry who landed will be able to kill the enemy right under their noses." .”

Takeshita Taro nodded, looking at the flames and gunpowder smoke from the continuous explosions on the north bank of the Nanliu River, he said with satisfaction: "Continue to bombard. When the air raid is over, the artillery fire will continue to extend the bombardment and suppress the enemy's defensive positions further north.".

"It was ordered that the soldiers of the imperial army of the 41th Infantry Regiment of the 31st Infantry Brigade of our 55st Division who will board the boat to cross the Nanliu River must set foot on the land on the north bank of the Nanliu River."

Tada Hideki's expression became serious, and he said heavily: "Please rest assured, the commander of the division, I have sent someone to order all the soldiers of the Imperial Army of the 55th Infantry Regiment.".

"For the honor of the empire, and for us to cross the Nanliu River as soon as possible, the next forcible crossing must only succeed, not fail."

Takeshita Taro nodded solemnly, and said: "Space and ground coordination, ground artillery fire cover, the next river crossing operation must be successful, and it can only be successful.".

"Regimental commander, don't worry! We will definitely succeed."

Tada Hideki said in a condensed voice: "After all, the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army on the north bank of the Nanliu River cannot withstand the powerful firepower of our open-ground coordination!".

"Um!!!"

Takeshita Taro nodded, and then stopped talking.

In two to three minutes, the air strike fleet will fly over the north bank of the Nanliu River for air strike bombing.

At this time, on the north bank of the Nanliu River, under a mountain about 200 meters away from the river on the north bank, there was the observation port of the hollowed-out headquarters bunker.

Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu also observed the south bank of the Nanliu River with binoculars.

The devil's shells swished continuously from the south bank of the Nanliu River. After the screaming of the shells continued, there was a rumbling explosion in an instant.

"Tuan Zuo, the latest intercepted radio transmission between the field headquarters of the Devil's 41st Division and the radio station of the leader of the Devil's air strike fleet. This is the deciphered telegram."

At this moment, Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer, reported to Xu Rui Lizhenghui.

"Ok!"

Xu Rui responded, then took the telegram from Gu Jiaping and read it.

The content of the deciphered telegram was not much, and Xu Rui read it in less than ten seconds, then handed it to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu and said casually: "The devil's attack fighters include 30 Type 20 land attack aircraft and [-] Type Zero fighters. .”

"Tsk tsk! Yoshinan Shinozuka has spent a lot of money, and he can still mobilize so many fighters!"

Luo Youdu took the deciphered telegram and quickly scanned it, then took a deep breath and said, "Fifty devil fighter planes!".

"Don't talk about covering the sky and blocking the sun, at least for us, it's a bit of an overkill."

"Tuan, fortunately the air defense bunkers we dug are enough for the fighters of each battalion to defend themselves against the air."

Xu Rui nodded, and then said: "Besides, we are not only prepared to passively avoid air defense.".

"Wang Chengzhu reported 3 minutes ago that the air defense position has been built. We have not done any air defense for more than a month when the devils dispatched troops."

After a pause, Xu Rui continued, "Based on the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun made abroad, although there are only ten 40mm anti-aircraft guns that we have successfully copied, they are enough to deal with enemy aircraft below 7000 meters."

"Tuan Zuo, this 40mm anti-aircraft gun we imitated from the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun, I am a little bit unconfident whether I can destroy this wave of fighters of the devil's air strike group."

Luo Youdu condensed his voice.

"Do not worry!"

Xu Rui waved his hand and said: "We have successfully tested at the test base of Heiyunzhai Arsenal, and there is no problem with air defense."

"The devil probably didn't expect that we now have ten 40mm anti-aircraft guns in our hands. Hey, after their Type 40 land attack aircraft bombed, the Zero fighter jets would sweep at low altitude. At that time, ten [-]mm imitation anti-aircraft guns It shouldn't be a problem to destroy a few devil fighter planes."

Seeing Xu Rui's confidence, Luo Youdu also relieved his expression, nodded and said: "Then wait and see, see if our imitation 40mm anti-aircraft gun can destroy a few enemy planes this time."

"Once the devils' enemy planes can be destroyed, even if there is a second wave of air strikes, the little devils will increase their height, and their bombing accuracy will be much lower. What's more, the ten 40mm anti-aircraft guns we imitated can be leveled. An infantry who can beat devils, hehe, this time, I have to give Takeshita Taro a surprise."

Xu Rui smiled slyly.

Seeing this, Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Hey, Tuan Zuo, then get ready to have a look.".

"Hahaha!"

Xu Rui smiled and nodded.

And a few minutes passed quickly.

Accompanied by Xu Rui and Luo Youdu, holding up the binoculars from the observation port of the bunker headquarters, they looked into the clouds in the distance above the south bank of the Nanliu River.

All I saw were Devil fighter planes roaring out of the clouds.

"It really is fifty enemy planes!"

In broad daylight with high visibility, Luo Youdu could easily see the number of incoming enemy planes, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "The content deciphered by the intercepted devil's radio is really correct.".

"I see, there are twenty fighters among them, and the rest are heavy bombers!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then said to a staff officer on the side: "Call the battalions, pay attention to air defense and concealment.".

"Command Wang Dazhu, give me the bomber that will aim at the devil next time. Looking at the flying height, the little devil probably doesn't know that we have a 40mm anti-aircraft gun in our hands. This flying height is to bomb horizontally at an altitude of 2000 meters!"

"Tell Wang Dazhu, first concentrate the anti-aircraft firepower on me, and hit the devil's Type [-] land attack aircraft. These are bombers, hit them first!"

The staff officer who was called by Xu Rui nodded, and immediately said: "Yes, regimental seat." Then he immediately walked to a table beside him, picked up the phone on the table to send orders to the battalions, and the artillery company commander Wang Dazhu.

The ten 40mm anti-aircraft guns imitated from the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns are temporarily under the control of Wang Dazhu's artillery company.
