Anti-Japanese Jedi Player

Chapter 294 Investigation
Fifty kilometers north of Beiping, the Devils built a new airport here. Hundreds of aircraft of various types from the North China Flying Wing are parked here, mainly attack aircraft and bombers, supplemented by a small number of fighter jets and a small number of reconnaissance planes. The main combat mission of the airport is to support the North China Front Army.

Originally, several flying squadrons of the North China Flying Wing were planned to be stationed separately. After all, the combat radius of the current aircraft is only a few hundred kilometers, and distributed stationing will help improve combat efficiency.

This was indeed the case at the beginning of the battle, but in the second year, the situation changed. After suffering a few losses, the devils could only honestly gather the flying wing, because the guerrilla attack was really serious. It's too annoying, especially the armed guerrillas, which makes the devils protecting the airport very anxious.

Today, in order to ensure the safety of this large airport, a strengthened full-strength wing of the army is stationed around it. There are more than 4000 devils in the army and more than 2000 guard brigades of the flying wing itself. There are more than 6000 teams stacked on top of each other. Surrounding and protecting the airport, three layers of diffuse bunkers, earthworks, and secret posts extend to five kilometers away from the edge of the airport, ensuring that no guerrilla can approach the airport for five kilometers.

To set up such a huge protective circle, the devils really had no choice but to do it, because the guerrillas were too rampant.

At the beginning of the war, the location of the airport was random, as long as it was close to the road to facilitate transportation. Security only needed to build a few high watchtowers to ensure the safety of the airport. The security range only needed to reach about 500 meters. The range of meters, after all, the airport is generally in the rear, very safe.

But the situation is different now. The guerrillas have very strong firepower. They have mortars in their hands. Mortars with a range of five kilometers, five kilometers. In the next few minutes, hundreds of shells were bombarded.

This and that airport have suffered.

After being covered by long-range artillery fire and losing hundreds of planes, the devils could only organize all the planes, clear out the residents within a five-kilometer radius and set up a five-kilometer warning sentry line.

At first, after the implementation of this plan, the devils thought that they could sit back and relax, but they did not expect that the guerrillas changed their strategy after suffering several losses. They stopped shooting planes and shelled the guards instead.

After losing nearly a hundred people, the devils had no choice but to dig earthworks, shivering in the fortifications all day long, and had to be careful of the guerrilla cannons when they went out.

One day, sunny, light wind, few clouds.

At the airport, the service personnel began to inspect and maintain several newest reconnaissance planes that had just transferred from China, lubricated oil, checked the condition of the engine, checked the operating status of the reconnaissance equipment, and checked the landing gear...
After more than an hour of inspection, the plane was filled with fuel, and finally the pilot boarded the plane, started the engine, and the reconnaissance plane began to take off slowly with the rotation of the propeller.

This is the latest reconnaissance plane from China. It is fast, far-reaching, flexible, and has the most advanced reconnaissance equipment. The purpose of mobilizing these planes is to scout the enemy's most mysterious area... Niuya Valley.

"Gentlemen, this mission is to investigate Niuya Valley, where is the most mysterious area in the place, this mission is very difficult"

The propellers were spinning at an accelerated speed, the tire brakes had been released, and in the communication channel, the flight captain of this reconnaissance mission had a serious tone.

"This time we need to descend below 1000 meters for reconnaissance, using the latest cameras to detect the hidden warehouses in Niuya Valley, but where the enemy has deployed a large number of anti-aircraft firepower, the danger within 1000 meters is very high, so we need to maintain high-speed maneuvering Passed, and at the same time completed the photo of the ground warehouse group”

"The investigation is divided into three times in total. Fly around Niuya Valley three times. The first time is 2000 meters at a speed of 3000 per hour, the second time is 900 meters at a speed of 520 per hour, and the third time is [-] meters at a speed of [-] per hour."

"We are the best pilots in the Army Air Corps, I believe we can get the job done"

In the "Hi" channel, the three devil pilots spoke confidently.

They are all old devil pilots, and they have many times of experience in exchanging fire with the air defense forces in the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army. The anti-aircraft machine gun at the top of the highland is only about 1000 meters away.

The first two flights they will be disguised as high-altitude reconnaissance, in order to cover the third low-altitude reconnaissance.The combination of surprise and the high speed of the new reconnaissance aircraft made the mission less dangerous.

"Fortune lasts forever"

"Long Live the Great Japanese Empire"

The plane left the ground, retracted the landing gear, and the three devil pilots shouted slogans.

······
Niuyagu Air Defense Brigade.

This is a super brigade with more than 2000 people, no less than any division, equipped with more than [-] dual-mounted large-caliber heavy machine guns, including dual-mounted air-cooled models loaded on small trucks, and loaded with anti-aircraft fortresses The double-packed water-cooled type on the board, and their main task is to defend the sky of the Niuyagu warehouse and transportation line.

This brigade has been formed for two years, and it has also guarded the sky of Niuya Valley for two years. More than 120 Japanese aircraft have been shot down and injured.More than 70 of them fell on the spot.

It is true that there were not many victories, but their biggest role was to prevent the bombers of the Devils from bombing at low altitudes, and could only bomb at altitudes higher than one kilometer. This altitude of bombing would cause little harm to Niuya Valley in the mountainous area. .

And three months ago, the air defense brigade was reorganized and divided into five air defense regiments, each equipped with two hundred of the latest anti-aircraft guns. 40 mm twin anti-aircraft guns.The effective shooting height is 3500 meters and the range is 4300 meters. It uses prefabricated explosive shells, which can form a dense fragment barrage at an altitude of 3500 meters.

The rest of the machine guns were distributed among the air defense battalions and companies of the various brigades and regiments.

The highest commanding height of No.19 road in Niuya Valley, Highland 657, an air defense company is deployed here. This is the most important highland with the best view and the best shooting range. The best air defense company in the air defense brigade is stationed here.

The company commander is a veteran. He walked all the way from the old base, walked across the grass, climbed over the snow-capped mountains, and has extremely rich combat experience. He was originally a machine gunner and applied to become an air gunner when the air defense unit was formed.

He is also the only gunner in the entire air defense brigade with a record of shooting down five aircraft.

It is the trump card in the air force. Originally, the division headquarter asked him to become the regiment commander, but he refused to do it. He insisted on operating the cannon on the front line, but he still agreed to the division headquarter. Teach it to the soldiers.

"The quality of this gun is very good, and its shooting height and range far exceed the previous 12.7mm heavy machine guns. However, the initial velocity of the shells is not much higher than that of the heavy machine gun bullets, but the firing range is more than three times that of the machine gun. Therefore, the flight time of the shells Longer, it also requires us to predict the aircraft to be more accurate.”

In the early morning, on the square of Heights 657, a cannon was placed on the square. The ace shooter sat on the running position in person, commanding his artillery squad to control the rotation and pitch of the huge anti-aircraft gun like arms and fingers.

The muzzles of the two gloomy guns pointed straight into the sky.

Afterwards, he stepped down from his running position, pointed to a long telescope on the cannon, and said.

"There is an optical gyro sight on the cannon, and there is a scale in it. Through the size of the plane in the mirror, we can estimate the flight speed and high speed of the Devil plane, which is more accurate than our previous ring sight."

"This greatly reduces the difficulty of aiming"

"Just put the plane on the center of the circle, keep track, and then aim at the flying nose to fire"

"So, what we need to improve most is the ability of anti-aircraft guns to track aircraft"

In this era when there was no artillery sighting radar, or an era when it was impossible to equip it. After all, in this period, the Yankees had already researched it, and there were also a few hunting suits. Enough professionals to play around.

The sight that comes with the anti-aircraft gun is produced by the system and is of excellent quality. There is a gyroscope inside. The optical sight has precise and complicated scale lines, just like the previous circle sight, but the gyroscope has improved the accuracy by several grades.

Facing propeller aircraft flying at medium and low altitudes, as long as the pointing can keep up with the Devils, the aiming can be completed. Of course, the accuracy must be relatively poor, but the 40mm anti-aircraft gun itself does not rely on accuracy. Can ensure sufficient firepower density.

Rely on numbers to pile up devils and devils and planes.

"We don't have a plane, so we can't train in the usual way, so I designed a training method, which is to hollow out the charge of the mortar shell, and then tie a sharply reduced tail fin to practice the artillery squad by tracking the shell direction and pitch control of the cannon"

The ace gunner continued.

In the past, for the training of the air defense brigade, everyone was very worried. There were no planes or target drones. In order to train the ability of anti-aircraft shooting, they tried every means, such as kites, and sky lanterns... all kinds of methods are endless.

But these things are slow, have poor maneuverability, and cannot simulate the flight of an aircraft. In the end, the ace gunner came up with the idea of ​​using shells and decelerating tails.

The mortar shell itself has a very high speed, and after adding the decelerating tail, the speed is comparable to that of an airplane, and the tail will disturb the aerodynamics, which will cause the shell's flight trajectory to be chaotic, and it will fly more like an airplane, and the huge tail is also very similar to an airplane. .

The only disadvantage is that it consumes a bit of shells. After all, the space between shells in the air is too short, and training takes time, so nearly 60 modified [-] mortar shells are consumed every day.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of Niuyagu shells. Today, tens of millions of 60 mortar shells, the most widely used, are stored in the warehouse.

Suddenly, a phone rang, which was the ringing of the phone in the fortress.

Everyone was immediately refreshed, and when the phone rang, then... it could only be the Devil Plane.

Sure enough, a squad leader came out and gave the information.

"The devil's reconnaissance plane has already set off, and it will arrive at Niuya Valley in one hour."

The guerrillas and reconnaissance posts everywhere make the devil's plane invisible, and there are also a large number of guerrillas stationed in the mountainous area near the airport, which has the advantage of light firepower. Now the devil dare not enter the mountainous area. The guerrillas are inside Mixed smoothly.

"Disband, everyone returns to their running positions"

The head of the group who was also here gave the order.

"It has been training for more than two months, and this is the first time that the 40 anti-aircraft guns have participated in the battle"

The commanders of the third regiment were a little nervous. One piece of equipment needed a break-in period. The 40 anti-aircraft guns did not immediately go into battle after they were first equipped.

Now after three months of hard training, everyone has been able to exert the performance of 40 guns. This is the first time this medium-caliber anti-aircraft gun has been put into battle.

"Two hundred 40 guns are enough for a devil to eat a pot"

The only ace gunner who shot down five devil planes looked at the sky. He was waiting for the devil to come to his death. He could shoot down five devil planes with a heavy machine gun. Now that the shotgun is changing, he is most looking forward to the devil's arrival.

·····
"The distance is 360 kilometers, the high speed is 8, and the speed is [-], and it is expected to reach the predetermined position in [-] minutes."

In the devil's reconnaissance team, the captain holds the flight data.

"Start to lower the altitude. The first investigation altitude is 2000 meters. There is basically no danger. Pay attention to maintaining the formation and try to capture the whole picture of Niuya Valley."

While maintaining the speed, the Devil's plane began to slowly lower its altitude. Three minutes later, the Devil's plane reached an altitude of 3 meters, and it was only 2000 kilometers away from the center of Niuya Valley.

"Open the Camera Door"

On the abdomen of the Devil reconnaissance plane, a slide plate opened, revealing a deep camera lens.

"Distance fifteen kilometers, altitude two thousand"

The head of the third regiment also received the devil's flight data obtained from the forward reconnaissance post. He chuckled and spoke coldly.

"The devil is confident, thinking that the sky here is the same as before, come and go whenever you want?"

"Notify all anti-aircraft artillery squads, prepare"

Under his order, two hundred double-mounted 40-caliber anti-aircraft guns, four gun barrels pointing in the direction of the devil's flying at the same time, five rows of shells have been filled in the shell clips, and six loaders are also ready , everyone held a row of five 50mm shells in their hands.

These elite artillery squads can achieve a rate of fire of [-] rounds per minute.

"fire"

When the devils flew over the position of the third air defense regiment, two hundred 40 artillery pieces fired at the same time. In an instant, thousands of shells exploded at a height of 2000 meters in the sky, forming a dense wall of fragments.

"Anti-aircraft gun, Baga, take off soon..." It was too late when the devil realized something was wrong.

boom boom boom

Three densely formed reconnaissance planes turned into fireballs in an instant, and one of them was even hit directly by a 40mm shell and exploded on the spot...

"The sixth frame..."

In front of the gun position that Ace was in charge of, the ace gunner shook his fist fiercely, and the plane that was directly hit was his masterpiece.
