Rise from the sword

Chapter 532

"we discover."

On the runway behind Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory, the person in charge pointed to the three planes and said:

"Because of the speed of the flying platform, the hit rate of frontal shooting is not high. If you want to increase the hit rate, you can only lower the altitude, but this will increase the danger of the flying platform."

Flying platform, this is naturally a term heard from the mouth of the master.

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong nodded in agreement.

It has been half a year since the formation of the flight brigade.

Unlimited aircraft, unlimited supplies, and the number of pilots is steadily expanding.

In the previous battle between Henan and Central China, the flight brigade carried out large-scale air support, and took off more than 1 sorties, dropped more than 30 tons of bombs, and fired more than 300 million rounds of [-]mm cannon shells.

But the actual combat effect is not good.

Especially for machine gun fire, the liaison officers observing on the ground responded that the fire effect was very poor, and most of them just heard a sound.

Although the effect of heavy fragmentation bombs is good, steel balls sweep a large area, but the persistence is too poor. An aircraft can carry at most a dozen bombs, and it is difficult to guarantee the continuity of firepower.

Also.

According to post-war statistics, the vast majority of downed aircraft occurred during dive attacks.

Thanks to the extreme scarcity of the little devil's anti-aircraft weapons, and the fact that the domestic troops are particularly hip, and even most of the First Army's wing level is not equipped, so the number of planes shot down is not too many.

"But shooting from the side is a whole different story."

The person in charge continued:
"Put the ground support firepower on the side of the aircraft, and the accuracy of the ground attack will be greatly improved."

"Take the 2000mm machine gun as an example, install it on the side of the transport plane, and test it in the actual shooting range. Even at an altitude of [-] meters, an excellent shooter who has been trained can prepare to hit a target with a radius of one meter."

"And the hit rate is as high as one in seven."

"2000 meters, 12.7 heavy machine gun, one-seventh hit rate?"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was shocked.

What does the one-seventh hit rate mean? That is to say, for every seven bullets fired, one will hit the target. Putting it on a target spot with a radius of one meter at a distance of 2000 meters, and a machine gun with a high rate of fire, this is quite the top shooting effect.

You must know that the straight range of the 12.7mm heavy machine gun is only 800 meters.

"Great."

Li Yunlong couldn't help waving his hands fiercely.

The 12.7mm heavy machine gun is a meritorious weapon in the regiment.

The power is huge, as long as any devil hits a shot, he will either die or be disabled, there is no second possibility, and it can also penetrate standard sandbag bunkers, with extremely strong suppression.The firepower is fierce, the rate of fire is as high as 800 rounds per minute, the trajectory is straight, and the maximum range is [-] meters.It is the most effective timely suppression firepower for infantry.

But now, this weapon is a bit embarrassing on the front line.

The reason.

The total weight of this thing is more than 60 kilograms, and the split is nearly [-] kilograms. It is not a big problem to have a big mule during the march, but it can only be carried by the soldiers on their shoulders during the battle, and it is very inconvenient to move the front line.

The range of 800 meters is not enough when compared with the range of more than ten kilometers of long-range howitzers and the range of two to six kilometers of mortars of various calibers.With the recoilless gun, anti-tank and anti-sandbag bunkers are also not available.

As a result, during front-line battles, this thing is actually not as popular as general-purpose machine guns, and the number of equipment is gradually decreasing. Although armored vehicles are also equipped with such machine guns, they can provide fire support for troops at any time, but armored vehicles are limited in action and cannot shoot. boundaries are also severely limited.

Now, this machine gun can be equipped on transport planes.

Condescending vision, perfect shooting range, timely support, one-seventh hit rate for a target with a distance of one meter at a distance of 2000 meters, extremely high accuracy, a load of more than five tons, and long-lasting firepower.

The perfect infantry support weapon.

And the little devil still lacks anti-aircraft weapons. When the time comes, let the attack plane destroy the little devil's poor anti-aircraft gun, and then let this thing enter the arena.

Thinking of this scene, Li Yunlong couldn't wait.

"How many units can be produced before NO.15?"

"Can you put other weapons on it?"

Li Yunlong asked quickly.

In the ensuing campaign to wipe out the First Army, three or five of them will not help, there must be a certain number, preferably dozens, and the 12.7mm machine gun is not good enough, if you can move 20, 40 or even 75 guns Come up, that's perfect.

Heavy bunkers can protect against 12.7mm machine guns, but there is nothing to do with 20 and 40 guns.

"This one is very simple. If we work hard, we can refit five planes a day."

The person in charge continued:
"As for other weapons, we have tested them. Except for the 105 guns, which cannot be installed on accidents due to too much recoil, the rest of the 20 anti-aircraft guns, 30 machine guns, 40 anti-aircraft guns, and 75 mountain guns can be installed on the aircraft."

"it is good."

Li Yunlong was overjoyed.

Then the two arrived at the airport in Heyuan County.

Here Huang Quanzheng leads the team to organize training, and the training subject is dive bombing.

The five best pilots of the Independence Regiment, of course, are also the best pilots in the entire army. The average flight time of these five people is as high as [-] hours, and the flight time is still after they came to the Independence Regiment.

At this time, five people were driving a bomb truck loaded with more than one ton of ground-penetrating bombs, dived from a height of more than 2000 meters, and then accurately hit the fortress.

The intelligence department has recently found out that near Taiyuan, the devils have built many solid concrete bunkers, the maximum thickness of which is three meters, and the devil seems to be determined to defend it.

At that time, this kind of ground penetrating bomb will be needed to solve these permanent fortifications.

In Li Yunlong's sight.

Five planes took off one by one, flew to an altitude of several thousand meters, and then began to dive towards the ground. Finally, the bombs accurately hit the three-meter-thick concrete bunker on the ground.

Visible to the naked eye, the bomb went straight into the fortress. There was a brief silence at first, which made people suspect that it was a dud bomb, and then the explosion suddenly rose, setting off concrete debris all over the sky.

"good."

Li Yunlong was overjoyed upon seeing this.

The training of the independent regiment, of course, has to be live ammunition training.

The bunkers are real, and so are the bombs.

The all-concrete bunker is three meters thick, and the amount of cement marks and steel bars is only a lot more than that of the devil. Since the fortress in front of him can be directly overturned by the ground penetrator, the devil's will have no problem.

"Then I will prepare the manpower and the location to accept the six factories and master masters."

Zhao Gang also said with a smile.

Now not only in Ping'an County, Heyuan County, Pan County, Shou County, and Zhaojiayu, there are many independent regiment sites, dozens of counties, large and small, belong to the independent regiment bases, and the railway roads between It is also under construction.

These factories can be well planned and planned.

Finally, he even urged:

"Hurry up."

"Row."

Li Yunlong laughed.

······
Time passed, and soon came June NO.14.

During this period of time, Kong Jie has established a firm foothold in the south, expanded the base area with the local guerrillas, built a runway, and began to transport materials on a large scale.

At the beginning, the independent regiment dispatched 54 transport planes to transport materials at a rate of 250 tons per day. After the airport was expanded, it gradually increased the transport volume, and finally maintained the size of a transport brigade, that is, [-] transport planes, [-] tons per day. tons or so.

Of course, taking into account the influence of the weather, it is actually about [-] tons per day.

But not less.

Since there are no decent enemies, there is basically no shortage of weapons, equipment and ammunition. Most of the transportation is food and supplies, mainly food, which is more than 150 tons per day.

During this period, food is the uncle.

In the face of the high-quality grain brought in by air, plus other living materials and commodities produced in the base area, as well as the strong combat effectiveness of the troops, the influence of the local tyrants and gentry was not to be feared at all, and they were quickly trained to be obedient.

The territory of the base area expanded rapidly, and the influence of the troops also greatly increased, and soon won the strong support of the local people.

Kong Jie did not take the initiative to make troubles, but slowly expanded the territory, expanded the influence, expanded the airport, built warehouses, stored supplies, and expanded the number of troops. He planned to form a [-]-strong army before going out.

At the same time, the entire land of the Republic of China is still in full swing.

In the south, under the command of Yong Shanyong, the devils were like a broken bamboo, and captured Ruanjiang, Yiyang, Liuyang and other places all the way, and began to mobilize troops again, preparing to attack Chang|sha.

But before attacking Chang\sha again, Yokoyama hesitated:
"A group of powerful guerrillas appeared? And there were traces of a large number of transport planes taking off and landing."

"Suspected to be a unit of the Independence Regiment!"

Looking at the news in the telegram in front of him, he immediately frowned, and his heart jumped even more.

Heng Shanyong and Gangcun have a good personal relationship. During the call not long ago, he learned about the tragic situation of the North China Front Army at this time.

After the Henan-Central Battle, although the North China Front Army had few casualties on the surface, it was actually disabled. Most of the recruits were recruited, heavy equipment was lost, and the overall combat effectiveness dropped by [-]%.

All this was caused by air strikes by the Air Force of the Independent Regiment.

According to post-war statistics, the Independent Regiment carried out more than 1 air strike missions in just one month and dropped more than [-] tons of bombs. Huge casualties.

But now, in his rear, that is, in the northeast of Hunan and northwest of Jiangxi, there is an air force suspected of being an independent regiment, which makes him highly vigilant.

Although his recent offensive has been overwhelming, and the base camp has received successive telegrams of rewards, there is a hidden danger in the great victory.

Not long ago, the Royal Air Force was hit hard by the Independence Regiment, many airports were bombed, and the planes were also blown up. The air power was almost destroyed. As a result, he now has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, with few aircraft capable of combat.

Therefore, during this period of time, the Sino-US joint flight team dispatched wantonly, although it failed to affect the overall battle situation. After all, the number of aircraft was too small and the supplies were insufficient, but under the air raid, his losses were not small.

Of course, it is far less serious than the North China Front Army.

But if the independent regiment is dispatched at this time and gives him air support equivalent to that during the Battle of Central Henan, with 1 sorties and [-] tons of ammunition, then...

Thinking of this, Heng Shanyong's fat face trembled.
