Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

“Sure enough, in this kind of chapter it is very easy to be ganked by the jungle.”

 April 17, 1942, in a very hot city.

 There was no wind, the sky was clear blue, and there were almost zero clouds in the sky.

This kind of combat environment is enough to be included as a classic case in major aviation academies. Even an average novice navigator can find the aiming entry point effortlessly. It is an excellent scene to play "Good Day" on a loop.

  ·······

 Benefiting from the slight recovery of the country's economy, some of the upper class in Benzi have once again seized the opportunity to make their wallets richer.

At this time, Ginza, the commercial center, was bustling with traffic. You can see men and women wearing kimonos or dresses everywhere with smiles on their faces, walking hand in hand from shop to shop.

With such a prosperous scene, if it weren’t for the patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time, it would be hard to tell that this place was one of the eye of the storm in this world war.

Just as the men and women were immersed in the warm spring breeze and preparing to spend a pleasant afternoon, a sharp and ear-piercing air raid siren suddenly broke the joy and peace in the city.

At the same time, the sirens installed on various main roads also began to flash wildly, trying to use dangerous red to remind the crowd to evacuate in an orderly manner.

 What’s interesting is that most of the dwarfs in the business district did not take any action to dodge immediately, but just chose to look left and right.

Since the war has never reached our homeland, and the navy just won a great victory in the Pacific some time ago.

 This means that at the current point in time, the people of the island country are extremely safe.

No matter what the reason is, they are unwilling to believe that enemy aircraft can invade the airspace here unimpeded.

Is it possible that the army and navy, which consume a lot of money every year, are just doing nothing?

Facts have proved that the above ideas are by no means groundless.

A man in a suit even stopped in his tracks. He first looked up at the clear sky, then lowered his head and cursed softly:

 “Is this? An air defense exercise?”

“It’s such a boring trick. If you have this free time to waste money and energy, you might as well think about how to plunder more resources! Let’s solve the domestic tax problem quickly!”

As soon as these words came out, the men nearby nodded, obviously agreeing with each other's point of view.

But just when they ignored the warning and were about to continue their recreational activities, the city's radio station suddenly stopped its afternoon entertainment program.

Just a few seconds later, the female announcer began to use a nervous and trembling voice to warn citizens that enemy planes were approaching at high speed, and played a loop of the specific location of the air raid shelter to guide them to evacuate.

Those military policemen wearing uniforms and armbands have also lost their former calmness and calmness.

They held wooden clappers in their hands and rushed through the streets and alleys, driving away the citizens who were standing still.

By now, even the most arrogant people have realized the seriousness of the matter. The bustling business district was in chaos, and the dwarfs scattered one after another, trying to escape into the nearest air-raid shelter.

 “Boom! Boom! Boom!”

 The cannon sounds and the battle begins.

Dark clouds that were not dense exploded over the city. On various positions inside and outside the city, Japanese anti-aircraft firepower began operating at almost the same time.

 While escaping, some bold citizens looked to the sky.

I saw a group of huge fighter planes with olive green upper surfaces and light gray surfaces, dragging long trail clouds into the airspace of their own city.

The feeling of oppression that hits the face makes many people think of two words at the first time: heavenly soldiers!

  ·······

Since the strategic bomber group set off from the Jiaodong area, the soldiers have had a smooth journey.

On the way to the destination, although thousands of dwarfs looked up and saw their own large troops, the other side did not report to the military police immediately. Instead, they waved and saluted the fighter planes.

 Because these days I am sure that all the planes overhead are their country’s own planes.

However, when it was about to reach the end of the trip, the Third Air Division was inevitably discovered by the enemy. Ordinary people may not be able to see or distinguish the machine emblem, but professional soldiers can definitely tell the difference between friend and foe.

 After all, the difference between ointment and red five-star is not that big.

 “Oh, what a pity, we have lost the advantage of fishing in troubled waters.”

"It seems that the Japanese army's defense forces are not all idiots. Our whereabouts have been exposed. Anti-aircraft fire is coming, everyone should be careful."

After finishing speaking, Fang Ziyi took the lead in the Lancaster bomber, rushing towards his target with an unstoppable momentum.

 Other squadrons of the 3rd Air Force Division also understood this. They scattered according to the tasks assigned before departure, and plunged into the black clouds ahead under the leadership of their respective pilot crews. But just ten seconds later, all the bomber pilots showed puzzled expressions.

 No other reason, just because the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower is too weak. Those seemingly dense barrages were actually without any structure, and they couldn't even actively force the sitting bomber to change its flight path.

 “Ah, this is too easy.”

“I finally understand that the advanced textbooks used by our border aviation school are definitely based on the situation on the Eastern Front of the European War.”

"Before executing the mission, I had imagined the black and red clouds in the sky countless times. I even thought that the enemy would be planning some big move. The result? Why did the Japanese just pull the big one?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Ziyi, who was sitting in the main driver's seat, laughed out loud.

But unlike when he just flew over the coastline before, this time he was not surprised at all.

 In the entire battle sequence of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, the 2nd Air Division can be regarded as the unit that knows the Japanese air defense system best. After all, in close combat support missions, you have to face enemy anti-aircraft guns almost every time.

As the supreme commander and an ace pilot, Fang Ziyi can pat his chest and assure the soldiers that the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery unit is such rubbish.

 In fact, in 1937, this book even divided the local air defense forces into different responsibilities.

 In the vision of the base camp, the Army needs to assume the air defense of major cities, locations, and key fortresses. The overall mission area of ​​the navy will be lighter, and it will only be responsible for the air defense of military ports and major ports.

 So there is no doubt that this very hot city is fully defended by the Army Red Deer.

So the question is, let’s take a look at what weapons the many anti-aircraft artillery regiments and independent anti-aircraft artillery squadrons deployed by the Japanese on internal and external positions are equipped with.

 The first equipment to bear the brunt is naturally our old friend the Nine-Liu Artillery.

Whether it is a single installation or an enhanced version of a double or triple installation, it cannot cause any damage to bombers in the high altitude.

  After all, you can’t expect a 25mm gadget to knock down a big, hard strategic bomber.

 The next one is the Type 98 20mm cannon imitating the Oerlikon.

Hmm, the maximum effective engagement distance of 5,500 meters is not powerful enough. Let's not talk about whether we can touch Lancaster. Even if we succeed in hitting it, it will take more than ten shots to shoot down the target.

Of course, the Army still has a small number of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns with partial pressure, such as the Taisho 11-year-old 75mm anti-aircraft gun, the 88-year-old 75mm anti-aircraft gun and the Taisho 14-year-old 105mm anti-aircraft gun developed more than 20 years ago.

However, these weapons, which are known to be antiques just by their names, have long been eliminated by the tide of the times at this point in time, and they are not even considered obsolete weapons.

Without an advanced computer commander, with its slow aiming speed and muzzle velocity, there is basically no chance of intercepting high-speed aircraft, so how can it carry the banner of the main air defense force.

What's more, the local air defense forces in their early days lacked actual combat experience.

 In previous battles, some independent squadrons and anti-aircraft artillery regiments failed to determine the firing elements in time even if they discovered traces of the 3rd Air Force Division.

 So when facing the attack of the 3rd Air Force Division, their anti-aircraft firepower was basically in a state of random firing.

In addition, the comrades had a solid foundation and adopted evasive maneuvers to change the flight direction after entering the air defense circle. This made the hit rate of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns even more difficult.

  ·······

 “Arrived at the starting point of the bombing route! Prepare to start automatic driving!”

While Fang Ziyi piloted the Lancaster and continued to avoid the enemy's anti-aircraft fire and black clouds, the sonorous voice of the bombardier came from the internal communication system.

As soon as he said this, he immediately adjusted the flight path and altitude according to the pointer on the instrument panel until the pointer was completely back to normal.

 After completing the above steps, the current course will roughly point in the direction of the crosshair of the Norton sight.

“Maintain a straight and stable flight! The speed is 175 knots indicated airspeed! Turn on the autopilot, and you will have control of the aircraft before reaching the bombing zone!”

"clear!"

 After receiving the instruction, the bombardier activates the linkage device on the sight base. At this time, turning the sight left or right can control the pilot, thereby accurately adjusting the aircraft's heading.

 “Open the bomb bay door!”

 “Drop the bomb!”

As the button on the Lancaster was pressed, napalm bombs and high-explosive aerial bombs left the magazine one after another, and they fell to the ground like dumplings!

Without waiting to check the results of this attack, Fang Ziyi piloted the bomber and began to climb up. At the same time, he said to the radio commissioner on the communication channel:

“Immediately send a signal to the border area, headquarters and Chief of Staff Liu: Climb Mount Everest!” (End of this chapter)
