Glorious Mission 1937

() Captain Hase was in an extremely depressed mood at this moment. This was the sixth time that he and his comrades had flown to this abominable city of China in the past two days.But every time, the battle plan failed because of the thick smoke or fog that covered the sky, and the effect of dropping a few aerial bombs was still unknown.

Today, after receiving the order to attack from the headquarters, he and his comrades immediately boarded the plane and flew again to the county seat of China, which is located at 112 degrees east longitude and 38 degrees north latitude.

As usual, there is still thick smoke billowing here, and the entire county is shrouded in smoke. It is impossible to see clearly the county under the thick smoke at the flying height of the Type [-] fighter.

Captain Hase thought that this time it was still the same as the previous few times. The plane circled over the county, then dropped a few aerial bombs symbolically, and then returned to Zhangjiakou Airport. You must know that they have done the same thing five times. It makes sense to do it again.

But soon the commander Matsushita's voice came from the communicator: "All the fighters immediately lowered their altitude and carried out ultra-low-altitude dive bombing through the smoke."

"Received by the First Air Squadron!"

"Received by the Second Aviation Squadron!"

"Received by the Third Aviation Squadron!"

"Fourth Aviation Squadron Received!"

Captain Hase is no stranger to flying at ultra-low altitudes. Although the Imperial Japanese Army does not have a large air force, the Imperial Air Force, which has a history of nearly ten years, is still the most powerful in Asia.Although flying at ultra-low altitudes has certain risks, after all, if flying at ultra-low altitudes, the light machine guns of the Chinese troops may pose a threat to fighter jets.

The loud noise of the plane engine made the soldiers of the 222nd Division Jingwei Regiment and the Air Defense Regiment very nervous. After all, big guys like airplanes are still unfamiliar to them, including the soldiers of the Air Defense Regiment. Not confident.

"The little devil's plane is about to come down, let the brothers in the air defense regiment get ready!" Chen Feng personally called Victor, the head of the air defense regiment.

This is already the sixth air raid on Xinghe by the little devil. According to the opinions of Yang Yi, Ye Helina and others, since the anti-aircraft machine guns equipped by the air defense regiment are capable of destroying these Japanese planes at high altitude, they should be destroyed. Smoke, knock out these bastards directly.

But Chen Feng thought that although some planes could be shot down in this way, it would remind more Japanese planes that they couldn't completely wipe out this little devil's air force.So the troops have to endure until those idiots can't help but fly down. At that time, hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns will fire together, and with the excellent performance of the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun, they will beat Japanese aircraft that are half a century behind it , that is not like playing.

This is like a man on the prairie boiling an eagle. If one side can't bear it first, then the failure belongs to that side.Of course, for the 222nd Division, there is no such thing as failure or failure, it is just about the size of the battle results.

Victor is a Tsarist Russian, a staff officer, and graduated from the Royal Military Academy of Tsarist Russia.After the rule of Tsarist Russia was overthrown, Victor followed Yehelena's father to wander in the East, and was transferred from a regular soldier to a professional bandit.

Victor is willing to do this for his whole life, and die in a foreign land as a dishonorable bandit.But I didn't expect that I would become a regular army one day, and a mid-level commander in the regular army of the Chinese government.

During his tenure in Tsarist Russia, Victor served as the chief of staff of the Royal Cavalry Division and also participated in World War I.He thought he was much better than most of the officers of the 222 Division, but ever since he was recruited by Chen Feng, he had never understood the Chinese who was the son-in-law and the officer.

Regardless of his personality, the old Tsarist Russian officer was surprised by the endless new weapons and equipment, especially after he served as the head of the air defense regiment, he was surprised to find that his air defense regiment used a kind of He had never seen an anti-aircraft machine gun before, especially after seeing the great power of the double-linked anti-aircraft machine gun, Victor felt a turmoil in his heart.

"Order, the whole regiment immediately enters the combat state, removes all camouflage, loads the bullets, and prepares to fight according to the original plan!" He has been in China for more than ten years, and Victor can not only speak fluent Chinese, but also fluent Mongolian, so even though he is a Tsarist Russian, it is not difficult at all to command these Chinese soldiers.

"Yes"

As Victor's orders were conveyed step by step, many semi-enclosed bunkers and huge camouflage nets in Xinghe County were quickly removed, revealing the dark muzzle below.

Type 75 high-speed machine guns are divided into two types: single-link and double-link. In view of the lack of high-speed guns in the army, Chen Feng ordered the arsenal to produce these two types of high-speed machine guns at a ratio of 1:2.So far, under the full production of the arsenal, the output of the Type 75 high-speed machine gun has stabilized at 50 single-link and 20 double-link high-speed machine guns produced in Japan.In terms of this output alone, it is already considerable. It must be known that even the largest arsenal in North China, the Taiyuan Arsenal, has an output of machine guns that is far below the output of high-shelf machine guns at the Daqingshan Base.

The three battalions of Victor's air defense regiment were equipped with a total of 115 anti-aircraft machine guns. According to the deployment before the war, the three high-shelf battalions of the air defense regiment centered on the city defense command and deployed in an equilateral triangle. For local bombing, the air defense regiment can form a cross-fire network over Xinghe County.

Compared with other units, the Air Defense Regiment is a new branch of the 222nd Division. It took no more than ten days to form, and the training time was shorter. Although the Air Defense Regiment has been groping for training every day for nearly a week, as for the effect Victor Both Chen Feng and Chen Feng didn't know what to do.

The huge airflow from the propeller of the "hum" aircraft blows the thick smoke over the urban area into all directions. While the soldiers of the anti-aircraft regiment were waiting excitedly and nervously, a Japanese military plane passed through the clouds and smoke, heading towards the county town swooped down.

Before Victor could give an order, nervous machine gunners opened fire.Different from the 'da da da' sound of light and heavy machine guns, the Type 75 high-speed machine gun makes a 'bang bang bang' sound, which is somewhat similar to that of a mortar, but much lighter than that of a mortar.

Seeing someone firing, more than 100 high-end machine guns in the city opened fire quickly, making Victor, who was about to give the order, look helpless. In terms of profession, they are still very immature. After this battle, they have to train these guys well. They can't even do the minimum order and prohibition, and they are so elite.

Although they did not fire uniformly, these gunmen did not shoot indiscriminately. More than 30 Japanese military planes were fatally hit as soon as they emerged from the smoke. Due to the training before the war, even though it was the first battle, the air defense regiment The fight was still very good, the first round of firing caused eleven Japanese planes to disintegrate in the air, and another fourteen planes were damaged. The remaining Japanese army had no choice but to raise their fuselages without seeing clearly , to avoid the blow of the anti-aircraft regiment.

Takeo Matsushita, commander of the First Regiment of the Third Brigade of the Third Brigade of the North China Front Army's Army Flying Division, watched the fighter planes of his subordinates disintegrate in the air, and there were more fighter planes swaying with black smoke Flying out of the battlefield, I was terrified and inexplicable.

He didn't see very clearly just now, and he didn't see clearly what weapon the Chinese were using. He saw with his own eyes that the fighter plane of Major Yamashita, the leader of the First Flying Squadron, was hit and disintegrated in the air, but it wasn't the one who hit Major Yamashita's plane. Anti-aircraft guns are more like machine guns.

But he knows the power of machine guns, not to mention the usual light machine guns and heavy machine guns, even high-shelf machine guns will not have such great power, what kind of weapon did the Chinese people use that can have such an impact on the sky warriors of the empire? big threat.

"Cancel the ultra-low-altitude flight order, drop bombs at a safe altitude, drop bombs, throw all the aerial bombs!" Colonel Matsushita roared frantically.

But Panasonic obviously underestimated the anti-aircraft regiment, or underestimated the performance of the Type 75 high-speed machine gun. The altitude of 3000 meters is indeed a safe altitude for the anti-aircraft machine gun of this era, but for the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun, even 5000 meters is still its attack range, and it is also an effective range with a very high hit rate.

What's more, the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun is an anti-aircraft weapon developed for jet aircraft that is more advanced than old-fashioned aircraft. For the old-fashioned skinned aircraft of the Japanese army, it is like a heavy machine gun hitting a wooden shield, and the effect is self-evident.

When the Japanese military plane was about to dive, Victor ordered the troops in charge of the smoke to extinguish the smoke immediately, so when Panasonic was about to drop the bomb at a safe altitude, the thick smoke over Xinghe County had become very thin and faint.

"bang bang bang"

More than 100 high-speed machine guns fired at the same time, and the crossfire formed a death line over Xinghe. The remaining eleven Japanese fighter planes were quickly shot down at what they thought was a safe altitude. So far, the 222nd Division Air Defense Regiment has completed its mission. In the first show, with 82 casualties and the loss of 2 high-shelf machine guns, an entire company of the Japanese air force was wiped out. Except for three of the 37 Japanese planes that barely returned to Zhangjiakou Airport, 34 were shot down, of which 22 were shot down. Shot down on the spot, and the remaining 12 crashed on the way back after being injured.
