Age of Rebirth

Chapter 710 Bombing Nanjing ([-])

In the underground shelter of the Air Defense Command, on the radar screen, the bright spots representing the Japanese aircraft became more and more clear. All the communication staff members, holding the microphones tightly, stared at Tang Qiuli, but Tang Qiuli did not give the order to shoot all of them. Said in a loud voice: "The high firepower point in the eastern defense zone opened fire to destroy the Japanese leader's aircraft, and the other artillery groups continued to stand by."

This is an obvious tactic of catching the thief first, because on the radar screen, a Japanese military aircraft was far ahead of the fleet, and entered the bombing position before the other Japanese military aircraft deployed. Tang Qiuli could tell at a glance that this was the captain of the Japanese army, and it would be a good thing to kill this arrogant little devil.

***The Navy’s bombing fleet in Nanjing was so arrogant that there were more than 180 planes, only [-] fighter jets escorted them. Tsuki Hidegoro’s bomber had already set the target in the sights, and the pilot had a smirk on his lips. The target became clearer and clearer, the fuselage trembled slightly, and the two heavy bombs broke away from the fuselage and fell towards the target.

"It's not very challenging. It's like a tall and strong man dealing with a five-year-old child," Tsuki Hidegoro curled his lips in disdain, and was about to climb up and cast again. Suddenly, on the roof below, a A little bit of gold star came out, tongues of flame rushed towards, the fuselage of the bomber made a light noise, followed by a violent tremor, a puff of black smoke burst out, filling the cabin in an instant, Tsuki Egoro was shocked, bad, the plane was hit. [

However, he was not too panicked yet. Judging from his experience, this was infantry heavy weapons shooting into the air. The Chinese did not have special anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft machine guns. Relying on their rich experience, they drove the aircraft that was not seriously damaged back to the aircraft carrier. On, no problem, he was wrong, the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground did not intend to let him leave alive, and the rain, which was more than twice as violent as before, suddenly covered him.

Tsuki Hidegoro's chest was pierced by two heavy machine guns. In his final consciousness, he was full of unwillingness and doubts. He wanted to warn the fleet, but he couldn't make a sound. The bomber wailed and fell headlong. But the rain refused to let it go, the flames lashed the fuselage, a black firework exploded in the air, and the broken fuselage collapsed away. *** Naval Air Force led the captain of the first wing of the aircraft, Jin Jin Air force commander Mu Yinggoro died in the sky over Nanjing, becoming the first Japanese air commander to break his wings in the tragic Nanjing air defense battle.

This happened in an instant. It was so sudden that all the Japanese pilots were stunned. They had just flown over the target, and before they even started to drop, the captain's plane was smashed to pieces. This was too unexpected. With the first Japanese bomber The explosion in the air sounded the horn of the Nanjing Air Defense War, and the deadly quiet city of Nanjing just now came back to life. Following Tang Qiuli's order, sparks erupted everywhere in the city.

All the fixed anti-aircraft firepower points were firing fiercely. The careless Japanese bombers were like crows falling into the flames composed of guns and guns. One after another, they exploded into fireworks that exploded in the sky. The air defense firepower on the ground was so dense , like a layer of fine metal fire net, covering from the ground to the air.

In the first round of shooting, dozens of Japanese bombers were shot down. The Japanese fighter pilots who were hovering at high altitude panicked at that time, and quickly followed the escort order. Under the leadership of the commander, they swooped down from high altitude and prepared to destroy the ground. The anti-aircraft firepower point relieved the threat of the bombers. The Japanese fighter pilots considered the problem too simply. As soon as they entered the low altitude, they were immediately greeted by the dense fire net, and it was impossible to escape.

Major Kuroki Nakazawa, the commander of the Japanese fighter jets, regretted so much that he wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Formation, one plane in the east and one plane in the west scurry all over the sky. They can only use the brisk speed of the fighter jets to avoid the deadly guns and bullets. With this distracted effort, sparks appeared on the wings of my own plane, and the fuselage violently exploded. Trembling, "Baga, cunning Chinese," the Japanese fighter commander cursed viciously.

He tried his best to adjust the balance of the plane, trying to get out of the fire net and lower the flight altitude. He cunningly wanted to use the low-altitude sneak attack tactics to destroy a few nasty Chinese anti-aircraft firepower points, open a passage for the fleet to escape, and turned around a high-rise building. In a tall building, Kuroki Nakazawa's eyes suddenly cramped violently, his mouth opened so wide that a goose egg could be stuffed into it, and several heavy machine guns with black muzzles pointing at the sky suddenly appeared in front of him, and the muzzles of the closest guns almost hit him. on the fuselage.

Kuroki Nakazawa desperately pulled the joystick, climbed higher, climbed higher, and escaped from the terrifying muzzle. This was his only thought. He was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold, and he wanted to cover the bomber. His Majesty's gods blessed him if he didn't become a roast chicken. The idea is good, the plane also passed the fire point, but unfortunately, a heavy machine gun drove his plane to fire, and a string of brisk sneaks into his fighter jet from the tail, Kuroki Nakazawa didn't even have time to exclaim, In an instant, the little Lingniao turned into fragments all over the sky.

Sergeant of the Heavy Machine Gun Company of the Second Regiment of the No. 30 Eighth Division of the Army, Wang Genbao, the lead shooter of the heavy machine gun, wiped his nose habitually, put down his hand tightly holding the trigger, watched the black smoke gradually dissipating in mid-air, and smiled honestly, "Hey, hey". He took out the cigarette pouch, leaned against the sandbag fortification, and smoked happily, with an air of enjoyment.

While the two assistant shooters were busy pressing the belt, they looked at the half-eyed Wang Genbao with admiration and admiration. The devil has two planes!" In the tone of praise, there was obvious jealousy, this guy is usually sluggish, and he can't press half a fart with a shoulder pole. If you succeed one after another and report it, you won't be able to escape if you make meritorious service and receive an award.

It’s also strange, I was nimble enough, fired a few times, and didn’t even touch the side of the little devil’s plane, the fire chief shook his head, stared wide-eyed and searched the sky, thinking unconvinced: “I’m also an officer after all. , if you don’t shoot down a little devil’s plane, where will you save your face?”

Wang Genbao's anti-air firepower point has a total of five heavy machine guns. It is located on the top of the Nanjing Central Bank building, which is almost the commanding height in Nanjing city, overlooking the whole city. Since entering the battle position, Wang Genbao has not been idle. Don't look at him who is usually quiet and quiet, but he is a very talented person. In terms of the shooting level of crane guns, he is among the top three in the whole regiment. He usually likes to ponder some truths.

This heavy machine gun's air-to-air shooting must be different from the usual ones. Besides, the plane is so fast, how can it be accurate?After two or three days of busy work, I really figured out a set of earthen tools. I added a handmade sight in front of the heavy machine gun, and drew squares. Then, I practiced repeatedly aiming at the birds in the sky. The boss and other partners ridiculed him, practiced hard until his eyes were sore, and then he figured out a set of rules. After testing in actual combat, the effect was obvious. The shots were the planes of the two little devils. The first fighter is the Japanese fighter commander Kuroki Nakazawa.

After more than 30 minutes, there were more than 150 Japanese bombers and [-] fighter jets. There were only a few left that could fly in the air, but only thirty or forty. Well, due to carelessness and arrogance, the Japanese fleet suffered a great loss from the very beginning. In addition, at the beginning of the battle, the bomber commander and the fighter commander were the first to be shot down one after another. A unified attack echelon can only be passively beaten.

Compared with the number of Japanese aircraft, the anti-aircraft firepower prepared by Tang Qiuli was designed to deal with [-] sorties of aircraft. As a result, only half of the Japanese aircraft came. Such dense and fierce anti-aircraft firepower can only be handled by these Japanese troops. The plane was overwhelmed, and the sky over Nanjing was full of exploding smoke and shattered pieces, whistling and flying around, cutting all objects that could be encountered, anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns, spewing tongues of flame into the sky. The plane flew in that direction, and there was deadly fire.

An hour later, more than [-] Japanese planes fled the sky over Nanjing in a panic, most of them were fighter jets, and the anti-aircraft fire also stopped shooting. The violent city of Nanjing finally calmed down. In the sky, black smoke was like stratus clouds. Covering the bright sun in June in the south of the Yangtze River, people feel that this is a cloudy weather. The bombs dropped by the Japanese bombers hastily ignited several fires, which were quickly extinguished.

Tang Qiuli sat down heavily on the chair, closed his eyes, and a burst of exhaustion hit his heart. Just now, he put all his energy into directing the air combat, which felt more troublesome than going into battle in person. He fought well in the first battle. The Japanese left at least [-] or [-] planes, and they did not know the casualties of the troops and the loss of weapons and equipment. All the wounded were sent to a safe place for treatment, the casualties and weapon losses were counted immediately, and the medicine was replenished as soon as possible to prepare for the next round of fighting."

The situation was quickly summarized. There were 120 seven soldiers killed and more than 400 wounded. Eleven anti-aircraft guns and 26 anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns were blown up. From the perspective of losses, with so few casualties and equipment damage, the More than 100 Japanese aircraft can be described as brilliant results.

When fighting against the air, it is always the ground firepower that suffers, and the first battle of Nanjing air defense achieved such a result, which is inseparable from Tang Qiuli's careful arrangement before the war, and also from the combat effectiveness and temporary equipment of the Huangyadong Air Defense Brigade of the Independent Division. A large number of air defense radars are directly related. [

Tang Qiuli put down the loss report and ordered the communications staff, "Send a report to Chairman Jiang of Wuhan to report the results of today's first round of air battles." It is time to give the old man some reassurance, so that he has enough confidence. After thinking about it, he added: "Report the loss and double the number together," the communications staff officer didn't know, so he looked at the teacher's face and didn't dare to ask more questions.

At this time, an outside phone on the table rang quickly.
