Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1119 What a "Seven Injury Fist"!
Captain Sasaki is not the supreme commander of the fleet of 48 fighter jets this time!

It's not that he is not capable enough, but that his military rank is too low to be an aviation brigade-level commander.

Therefore, Captain Sasaki directly commanded a squadron!
However, before the expedition, Takuma Kanta, who was the supreme commander of the air, specifically found Sasaki and asked him for advice.

No way, since the last Jindongnan battle fleet was ambushed by Chinese ground firepower, the Japanese North China Front Army Aviation Corps has realized that, whether they want to admit it or not, it is a fact that the Chinese have certain air defense capabilities.

The sky is no longer just a playground where imperial fighter planes can run unscrupulously, danger will come at any time.

And a pilot who has killed countless teammates in no fewer than ten sorties but still returns intact, even though he is shrouded in the so-called "Lone Star of the Devil" halo, he still has enough life-saving experience.

"In the battlefields I have experienced, the enemy has machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and the number is extremely large, and the attack radius is not less than three kilometers!" After thinking about it, Sasaki told his boss cautiously and frankly.

"If you want to reduce losses, my personal suggestion is that after arriving in the theater, all fighters can drop bombs at an altitude of 2000 meters. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they must not drop below 1500 meters."

If it were someone else, especially after having a huge number of 48 fighters, they would definitely scoff at Sasaki's timid suggestion!
But this Tuo Zhen Kuan Tai Shao Zuo Ben is an extremely cautious person, and he likes to study battle cases. This year, the battle cases with slightly larger losses on the North China battlefield are the focus of his study.

"Not maintaining a sufficient altitude is the main reason for the heavy losses of the fighter fleet!" His conclusions are very consistent with Sasaki's suggestions.

Therefore, when 20 minutes passed, the Chinese and Japanese infantry at Niangziguan saw a spectacle that they would never forget.

The Japanese aircraft fleet composed of 48 Japanese fighter planes did not cover the sky and the sun, but the sound of aircraft engines resounding through the sky and the ground was enough to shock everyone's hearts.

Even Tang Dao, who was mentally prepared enough, didn't expect that the Japanese North China Front Army would be so generous, launching so many fighters at once.

The stern Tang Dao was even ready for a major sacrifice at that time!

Unlike the navy, the Japanese army was not equipped with many professional bombers, especially in the Chinese battlefield. The so-called air support was actually carried by the [-] fighter planes directly carrying aerial bombs, and then shooting at the ground with machine guns after dropping the bombs.

To be honest, compared with the upcoming war in the European battlefield where both sides will throw hundreds of bombers at every turn and drop dozens of tons of bombs on the opponent's head, this kind of tactical support from the Japanese is like child's play.

However, regardless of the average amount of bombs carried by Type 800 fighters, one fighter can carry at least nearly 48 pounds of bombs, and 4 fighters, that is, nearly [-] pounds of bombs.

Once these things are accurately thrown on the head, the casualties will be heavy!
But to the surprise of the cheering Japanese and the silent Chinese on the ground, it seemed that they had almost arrived at the Niangziguan area, and the Japanese fleet in the sky had no intention of diving down and dropping bombs.

"Baga! What is the aviation team doing?" Yin Tangxiuer held the binoculars and watched the leading Japanese planes pass by the main battlefield without lowering their altitude at all, and couldn't help complaining angrily.

"Fuck! What kind of tricks are these bastards playing?" Cheng Tieshou, who had already sat on the seat of a Suluotong twin-mounted anti-aircraft gun, also gritted his teeth and scolded.

The fleet of Japanese aircraft in the sky is almost kept at an altitude of 2500 meters. Not to mention that the 24 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns are out of reach, it is difficult for the 20mm anti-aircraft gun in his hand to get close to the small ass of the Japanese aircraft.

However, the commander of the air defense company, who has been through battles, remained calm enough, holding a telescope and continuing to stare at the small black spot that was about to pass overhead, and at the same time ordered: "Order the entire company, no attack without my signal! In addition, except for the main and deputy shooters who stood firm, all the other personnel withdrew into the fortifications! I think the little devil came prepared this time!"

It was as if Master Tuo Zhenkuan in the sky sensed the doubts of his colleagues and opponents on the ground, picked up the radio and ordered: "Masters, drop bombs freely! Also, please note that no one should lower the altitude at will! After the bombs are dropped, you can return to the voyage! Understand? "

"Hi!" The Japanese pilots took orders from the radio communicator.

Sasaki was relieved. If there were no accidents, the situation that he would lose his teammates every time he played would completely change today.

At an altitude of 2500 meters, although for a non-professional bombing fighter, the accuracy of bombing has become a joke, but it can guarantee safety, unless the opponent is equipped with the kind of 88mm German air defense that was used on the southeast battlefield. Anti-aircraft guns, if they really exist, can only be said to be bad luck.

So, as the Japanese fleet passed by at high speed, aerial bombs, large and small, were dropped in the air.

In an instant, the earth shook!
Under the bombardment of aerial bombs, the mountains around the main position of Niangziguan raised clouds of gunpowder smoke!

The Japanese infantry stopped cheering now, and all lay down in the trenches in cold sweat!Including Yin Tangxiuer, who is still complaining about his teammates in the air team.

The reason is simple, the accuracy of bombing at an altitude of 2500 meters is really bad!

Although the Japanese fleet also took into account the problem of the ground troops, the bombs were specially dropped into the mountains, so most of the bombs did not fall on the positions built according to the mountains, but fell on the hills and valleys within the defense line. .

However, there is no guarantee that there will be times when the hand slips!
A 250-pound aerial bomb was dropped just at the foot of the mountain, only 300 meters away from the Japanese trenches!
The power of this large aerial bomb is really not small. Even at a distance of hundreds of meters, shrapnel and blown stones hit the roaring 89 tanks in front of the trenches. The terrifying blast even overturned a small Douding!

The Japanese infantry shouted and cheered for the group of 'big idiots' in the sky. Aren't they idiots?
This is completely a posture to flatten the enemy and us together!

On the ground, I don’t know how many Japanese infantrymen used words to have sex with the female close relatives of the Japanese pilots in the sky.

On the other side of the Sixing Regiment's position, except for the three infantry battalions hiding in the trenches, the rest of the units, such as the medical company, artillery battalion, and supply battalion, were either hiding in the mountains covered by dense forests or had camouflage nets. From a high altitude, it is almost impossible to distinguish.

The bombing formation composed of 48 Japanese planes was actually an indiscriminate Sharkey bombing, relying on luck and probability.

To use the words of Tuo Zhenkuan Tai Shaozuo: As long as we drop enough bombs, we can kill some Chinese no matter what, so why not support the infantry?

This logic is very established!

In fact, if all the four elements of the regiment were not fully prepared, there would be trenches to hide in the last time, and the battlefield is also widely distributed. Only the medical company is divided into several places, otherwise the 4 pounds of bombs will be thrown on the head. , hundreds of casualties are light.

But even so, there were more than 40 casualties reported after the war!
The damage range of the 500-pound aerial bomb was too large. Although one aerial bomb did not hit the trench of the supply camp head-on, it exploded on the edge of the forest where 200 pack horses were hidden.

The huge air wave directly swept over a dozen pack horses on the far side and killed them, and even shocked the rest of the pack horses!
Hundreds of pack horses rushed out of the woods and ran wildly on the mountain road. In order to stop these precious pack horses, the soldiers who were reluctant to shoot and kill the startled horses paid the price of five deaths and 13 serious injuries.

Among them, the disabled veteran who served as the squad leader was directly trampled to death by the startled horse.

Tang Dao, who received the casualty report, was furious. At the evening battlefield summary meeting, he angrily reprimanded Zhuang Shisan, the commander of the supply battalion, and the company commander of the supply company.

That was the first time that Zhuang Shisan was criticized by Tang Dao for not giving face since he became the chief officer of the Four Elements Battalion.

"I told you a long time ago that no matter how important the equipment is, no one is important! If the pack horse is gone, we can buy it again, but if the person is gone, this person will never come back. We want to see them again , you can only touch his tombstone in the martyrs cemetery!

Yes, in the face of the Japanese invaders, the whole regiment of our four-element regiment can make sacrifices, from me and all of you here, down to the cattle and horses of our regiment, no one has nothing to sacrifice, but this does not mean that we can Sacrifice for nothing.Especially with such a sacrifice!

My brothers, one life, parents have to raise them for 18 years!Those of you who are battalion commanders and company commanders, let me go back and think about it!

After the war, if you think clearly, you can talk about your thoughts at the regimental meeting. If you still can’t think clearly, then go to the company for a month and spend time with your soldiers. Don’t be an official. After a long time, I have forgotten how I lived before. " Tang Dao was so angry that even Tantai Mingyue didn't dare to stop him.

Only those closest to Tang Dao knew where his anger came from. The three disabled veterans who were trampled to death by the startled horse were all soldiers who followed him out of the encirclement from the Sixing Warehouse. On the Japanese battlefield, but because he was reluctant to kill those startled horses, he chose to stop them with flesh and blood.

They have done their duty faithfully, but as their chief, Tang Dao can hardly accept that they died in this way!
Even if time goes back, these soldiers will still make the same choice.

Because, I am used to being poor.

No bullets, no food or drink, that was their daily life.

And that is more than 100 pack horses!In normal times, thousands or even tens of thousands of oceans are needed to buy them. In this kind of wartime, it is even more important. Their platoon is responsible for transporting ammunition and supplies to several highlands. All of these need the help of pack horses. .

The formation of 48 Japanese planes stayed at a high altitude and the Sharkey Ba bombed, causing 18 deaths and 25 injuries to the Sixing Regiment.

But at the same time, it also caused 21 casualties to the 12st Division.

Nine people were injured by stones falling into the trenches from bombs blown too close, and three unlucky people were injured in the overturned little bean tank, and the little bean tank was also injured. Lost out of battle.

When they left, they came with their heads held high, and when they returned, more than 20 Japanese infantrymen pushed them back hard, let alone the bad luck.

But if you want to think that the typical seven-injury punch of the Japanese aircraft formation ends here, then you are completely wrong, they will not let themselves go.

In fact, Captain Sasaki's trait of "Sky Sha Lone Star" is simply too strong.

The bombing order of the Japanese aircraft formation is like this, two squadrons form a group, bombing in turn!A wave of bombing passed, and then the formation of fighter planes circled back from the other side of the battlefield, observed through the telescope, and saw that the place was not covered by gunpowder smoke, so the second group of two squadrons dropped bombs and bombed again.

That is to say, strive for full coverage without showing any dead ends!
Since the Japanese planes were at high altitude, all air defense positions were basically huddled without receiving an order from Cheng Tieshou to fire.

Exceeding the range of anti-aircraft machine guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns, firing is not only meaningless, but also exposes strength. Temporary forbearance is for the purpose of beating opponents more violently and violently in the future. Knife Approval.

However, there are still mistakes in the busy schedule!

A 30-pound aerial bomb exploded in an area less than 20 meters away from a 50mm cannon. A piece of shrapnel just hit the lead shooter's leg. In response to pain, the lead shooter stepped on the gun and launched it. pedal.

And the cannon's emplacement has already been ready for battle, the springboard is inserted, and the safety has already been opened, "Boom, boom, boom!" ' A series of four shells were fired into the air.

Because the main combat duty of the air defense company is air defense, all 20mm anti-aircraft guns are equipped with flower bombs!

Four shells broke through the sky and were detonated at an altitude of about 2300 meters!
It happened that a Japanese plane had just dropped the 500-pound aerial bomb under its belly, and the whole body lightened and jumped up at least 30 meters. The distance between the four clouds of smoke and the Japanese plane was no more than 4 meters.

Although the pilot who controls this Japanese plane is not a rookie, and has at least several air support missions, he was transferred from another aviation brigade. Captain Sasaki's reputation as the "Lone Star of the Devil" has always made him jealous .

In future terms: I grew up listening to the legend of Captain Sasaki.

To put it bluntly, since he got on the fighter plane and set off with Captain Sasaki, his heart has been hanging all the time. After finally relaxing, the Chinese anti-aircraft shells came. Who would not panic?
Slam on the accelerator, and the fighter jet shoots out like an arrow!

Don't get me wrong, although the size of the Japanese aircraft formation is not small, the distance between individual aircraft is more than hundreds of meters, and there will never be a mid-air collision incident just because of a single acceleration!

But this kind of spacing does not mean that all fighters are on the same level. Maintaining an altitude of 2500 meters is only a standard height, and it fluctuates by 2-300 meters.

Nervous and sweaty, the pilot of the Japanese plane instinctively pulled the bomb release brake, and his psychological reaction was to leave the battlefield after dropping the bomb.

But he forgot that there was a fighter formation just below him looking for an area to drop bombs!
So, the two aerial bombs mounted on the wings of the 30th fighter were dropped with the shaking of the wings, and one of the 200-pound aerial bombs swayed like this and smashed stiffly on a Japanese plane [-] meters below. .

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the plane exploded into a ball of fire that day!
The violent blast wave almost failed to engulf the two Japanese planes at a distance of 200 meters from the Japanese plane.

"Haha! I've hit it! I've hit it!" The sergeant, whose leg was dripping with blood, was so excited that he almost didn't jump up.

The soldiers of the cannon squad who raised their necks and looked at the sky were stunned!

The four clouds of gunpowder smoke in the sky clearly proved that their squad leader had fired an empty cannon, but the fact is that a Japanese plane that was hundreds of meters away from the gunpowder smoke exploded in the air.

Could it be that it was a barrage attack?
If this is the case, is the Japanese machine too easy to fight?

If it wasn't for being sane enough, the fact that the wreckage of the plane was still falling in the sky would stimulate the anti-aircraft artillery squad, and immediately started to burst into the sky with the cannon.

The result of this battle was unbelievable, but according to the post-war statistics, except for this anti-aircraft gun, which lost four shells, the rest of the gun positions had not fired a single shot, and the results of the battle can only be recorded under the name of this anti-aircraft gun squad.

The so-called 'frightened bird' refers to this kind of thing!

As for the Japanese aviation formation, I am afraid that except for the instigator, no one would have thought that there would be such a strange incident where their own fighter jets dropped bombs and accidentally bombed their own people. After being puzzled, they can only blame it on the ground of the Chinese. Caused by anti-aircraft fire.

As for why the fighter plane was blown up to pieces, explanations can be found for being hit by the fuel tank or the bomb under the wing!

Moreover, after returning to the voyage, faced with the accusation of the 21st Division that the aircraft fleet did not play a corresponding tactical support role at all, the supreme commander of the fighter formation at the time, Tuo Zhenkuan Taishao, resolutely refuted the fact that one of his fighters was destroyed!

Therefore, both China and Japan had a tacit understanding that the fighter plane was destroyed and placed it on the sergeant squad leader who accidentally fired four shells.

Such a thing as pie in the sky!I'm afraid no one thought that it was literally!
Sasaki. Lao Tzu is really poisonous!

How about next time, 3000 meters?
But no matter how angry the Japanese infantry made accusations, for the Japanese Army Aviation, they at least went to 48 and returned to 47, and successfully dropped the bomb.

But the Japanese infantry who were sprayed with ashes by their own aerial bombs had to continue to attack the Chinese positions with their heads up!
In order to reassure the infantry, the Japanese artillery stepped up another round of 20-minute artillery coverage!

The mountains were still filled with gunpowder smoke, and the tanks at the foot of the mountain were bursting with black smoke, but groups of Japanese troops followed closely behind.

This time, due to the participation of 89 tanks and 94 armored vehicles, Lieutenant Yin Tangxiuer invested two and a half squadrons and 8 squadrons with 420 infantry, plus an infantry artillery squad borrowed from the wing headquarters, a total of 4 infantry artillery and 12 infantry soldiers. All the heavy machine guns are in battle!

This is only on the side of the second company, and on the other side of the first company, hundreds of Japanese infantry followed by more than 10 tanks began to attack!
On the first day of the Niangziguan War, the largest Japanese attack began.
