Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 179 AA People: The Anti-aircraft Artillery Team is on Full Alert
The shelling was perfect this time, and it took only 1 minute to kill the devils on the high ground. Everyone present showed expressions of joy and shock.

For the current Eighth Route Army, field artillery is still a bit unfamiliar.

After all, in the past, troops were mainly engaged in mobile warfare. Even in the first two stages of the Hundred Regiments War, there was no scene of intensive use of barrel guns.

After the shock, Li Datuan quickly raised the binoculars on his chest.He looked at the high ground in the sea of ​​flames in front of him, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

"It has to be a French girl. In terms of lethality alone, the 82mm mortar has to stand aside. The explosive power of ten salvos is really too strong."

"This scene and the movement, thinking about the richer life in the future, our old Li can't believe it."

"It's a pity. Originally, I wanted to fight the devil Zhongzuo, but now I'm afraid I can't even find a hair. I haven't fought hand-to-hand combat for a long time, and my body and sword skills are a bit rusty."

Li Yunlong's words sounded very Versailles, but fortunately Ou Liang and Cheng Xiazi were in a good mood, so they didn't bother to complain about him.

Unlike others, Wang Chengzhu had mixed feelings in his heart at this time.

The position is different, and the angle of view of the problem is also different.The three regiment leaders were all infantrymen, and they only saw exaggerated scenes in this shelling.

He became an artilleryman in the second month of his enlistment, and he was extremely talented.

Coupled with studying hard during non-combat periods and constantly improving one's combat skills, one can quickly get used to new weapons.

The emptiness just now is a man's nature, and everyone likes more powerful weapons.But after calming down, a sense of powerlessness emerged from the bottom of my heart.

Through fairly systematic study, he knew that the artillery system of the New Second Regiment and even other fraternal units was not complete, and there was still much room for improvement.

Ten 75mm field guns are only two and a half companies on the European battlefield.

But the division of labor is clear, there are company headquarters, communication detachment, artillery detachment, ammunition detachment and logistics detachment.More than a hundred people served the four artillery pieces, bringing the power of heavy weapons to the extreme.

The New Second Regiment was far behind. Wang Chengzhu was required to observe positions, measure parameters, command gunners, support logistics, and even drive.

In the shelling just now, no one in the entire company could control the new weapon except him, and he needed to check one by one before firing.

"Hey, there is a long way to go, our troops are still far behind."

Feelings of loss come and go quickly.

Although Zhuzi is only an artillery company commander of a cadre regiment, he has a high level of consciousness and a strong willpower, so if there are shortcomings, continue to learn.

He firmly believes that one day in the future, through his own efforts, the status quo can be more or less changed.

Withdrawing his messy thoughts, he trotted to Li Yunlong's side.

The word "stable" has always flowed in the blood of this round-faced man. It seems that there is no danger on the battlefield now, but there is nothing wrong with moving the position after the shelling.

"Head, our company is going back first, it's not safe here."

After hearing this sentence, Lao Li nodded, patted the other party on the shoulder and praised:
"You did a good job this time. I'll see if I can get you a Zuoguan knife later. Come to the regiment headquarters in the afternoon. Last time I bought a good bottle of wine from Vice Minister Huang."

What the two of them didn't know was that good habits saved the lives of the ten 75 girls.

----

10 minutes later, at an altitude of 57 kilometers from the logistics department.

The sixteen fighters that took off from Taiyuan Qinxian Airport headed towards the coordinates sent by Yamazaki in a neat four-plane formation. This is the incomplete version of the 29th Independent Flying Team led by Asakawa Masamune.

The Army Aviation of the First Army was already dissatisfied with the establishment. For a long time, there were only 23 Type [-] fighters.

When this flying team was supporting Katayama Shotaro in Shinao Mountain, one of them was shot down by Li Yunlong with a Type [-] heavy machine gun.

In the early stage of the second stage of the Hundred Regiments War, the New Second Regiment also experienced a night attack on Taiyuan Airport. After being bombarded, it was once faced with the embarrassing situation of having no planes to use.

Fortunately, Toshi Tada hadn't given up on Yoshio Shinozuka. Before the raid officially started, he transferred a squadron to the First Army from the headquarters of the North China Front Army in Beiping.

Coupled with the devil's superb repair technology, they demolished the east wall to repair the west wall and repaired four more.

Only then did the 29th Independent Flying Squadron formed, consisting of six Type [-] fighter jets and ten Type [-] light explosives.

In order to completely destroy the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army with no future troubles, Shinozuka Yoshio spent all his money and took out all his family assets at once, and sent all fighter planes to carry out combat missions.

From a quantitative point of view, the strength of the 29th Independent Flying Team has weakened.But Army Aviation can't just look at how many planes it has, it has to look at the types of planes.

Different from the poor bomb load of four 4kg aerial bombs of the Type 25 fighter, the 400 Light Explosion is a specialized bomber, which can have a range of 1700 kilometers with a [-]kg aerial bomb.

In terms of ammunition load, the ground attack power of the 29th Independent Flying Squadron has increased.

During the flight, Asakawa Masamune looked at the fighter planes of the surrounding team members, and he exhorted in a solemn tone:
"Gentlemen, this time we are going to bomb the military factories and hospitals of the Eighth Route Army. In key areas like this, there are usually more or less anti-aircraft weapons."

"Recently, the enemy has appeared a lot of French weapons. The staff boldly predicted that the enemy is likely to be equipped with a certain number of Hotchkiss 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine guns."

"We must be careful, and we must not underestimate the enemy."

The Army Aviation Major first saw his wingman shot down with his own eyes, and then experienced the shelling of Taiyuan Airport by the New Second Regiment.He had already put away his contempt for the Eighth Route Army, leaving only a stomach full of anger.

"Hi!"

"We will definitely drop bombs on the enemy's heads! Blast them to pieces!"

"This time, we must destroy the enemy."

For what their immediate superiors said, the Army Aviation pilots are very respectful.

What's more, a few of them have the same experience as Asakawa Masamune. Those colleagues who despise their opponents are either lying in the hospital or have seen the locust.

As the survivors after that attack, these devils were bombarded at least hundreds of times, and even their precious cars were destroyed.Apart from the task assigned by Shinozuka Yoshio, they attacked with injuries this time, and they wanted revenge more.

The other batch of migrants were also very obedient, and they put away their domineering behavior as soon as they arrived in Jin Province.

Although he had never been severely beaten by the Eighth Route Army, he knew what to do when he saw the aborigines of the First Army Army Aviation in such a miserable state.Besides, when we set off from Beiping, the former superior also told us to face the enemy squarely.

Prudence and self-confidence are not contradictory, and those who can become pilots are elites.

All members of the 29th Independent Flying Team firmly believe in one thing, that is, they will complete the mission and return safely.

For the next 10 minutes, Masamune Asakawa kept discussing tactics with the players.These devils have no radio silence at all. After all, the Eighth Route Army is not high-end enough to monitor radios.

Soon, sixteen planes arrived and approached their destination.These devils never expected that their whereabouts had been exposed.

When deputy head Han built the air defense position, he considered very comprehensively.Although I don't know where the enemy will come from, it is right to set up more observation posts and cast more nets.

When the 29th Independent Flying Squadron appeared in the field of view of the observers, the soldiers informed the rear positions through portable radios.

The moment the enemy plane entered the security circle, Deputy Commander Han immediately roared through the radio.

"Fire! The anti-aircraft battery is on full alert!"

The advantage of anti-aircraft guns lies in concealment and firepower, and the advantage of aircraft lies in maneuvering.If the aircraft enters the effective range of the anti-aircraft artillery without knowing it, then it only needs to test the professional level of the anti-aircraft artillery.

After all, the initial velocity of the shell is not slow, and the pilot may be shot down and injured before he realizes it.

After a period of training, the soldiers have mastered the skills of using ring sights.

Although this thing is essentially a mechanical sight, it does not have a fire control and guidance system, so it can only be locked by the naked eye.

But fighters can use the speed circle to predict the flight speed of the enemy plane and make an advance.Moreover, the ring-shaped front sight helps to track the target's trajectory and quickly capture enemy aircraft.

When the communication system heard Deputy Head Han's roar, the soldiers on the battlefield immediately started to act!
The 150 Hotchkiss 25mm anti-aircraft guns that had already been ready to go were fully fired, and traces of tracer bullets appeared in the originally calm sky.

Like hidden poisonous snakes, they suddenly attacked from the shadows and bit the devils in the sky.

As the saying goes, air defense and air defense are ten defenses and nine air defenses.

In addition, the Hotchkiss 25mm anti-aircraft gun uses 15 rounds of fixed clips to feed the ammunition. Every time the clip is changed, the shooting must be stopped, which greatly reduces the efficiency of air defense.

Moreover, it was the first time for many fighters to deal with the devil's plane in actual combat. Under the nervousness, the advance calculation method that they had memorized in practice was a bit stretched now.

but!All these problems do not affect the effect!

In today's 1940, the number of 150 anti-aircraft guns is too large, and there is no place in the entire Republic of China that has this level of air defense.

In addition, the actual rate of fire of the Hotchkiss anti-aircraft guns is not bad, and the soldiers can maintain 100-110 rounds per minute.

On average, an aircraft faces more than 1000 shells per minute. Even if we are blind cats, we can shoot down a few of them.

In just the first round of attacks, five Devil bombers were blown up in the air by a sneak attack that was intentional or unintentional.

It's a pity that this gun uses a touch fuze, which requires the warhead to hit the target directly, and the explosion can only be triggered by impact.

If there is a proximity fuze or time fuze, the effect of black clouds can be played.At that time, scaring can scare these grandchildren to death, even Best will have to run away on this occasion.

"!!!"

"idiot!"

Asakawa Zhengzhan was really suffering and couldn't tell. They had already guessed that the enemy would have anti-aircraft weapons before attacking, and they had made sufficient preparations.

At the current flying altitude, as long as the capital of the southwest is not bombed, the entire Republic of China can travel unimpeded.

The air defense weapons of the Eighth Route Army are indeed products of Hotchkiss.

But no one thought that it wasn't an anti-aircraft machine gun, but a fucking anti-aircraft gun!They are too familiar with this thing, "Type 25 [-]-inch high-angle machine gun", the army and navy have a lot of equipment.

After the brother country was introduced, there were almost no major changes.

Only the casting process was changed, which made it easier to simplify the production of some parts manufactured by machining. The muzzle suppressor was replaced by the design of Rheinmetall in Germany, and the sight style was changed.

Now this number is really outrageous. Anyone who comes with dense tracer bullets will feel guilty. Asakawa Masamune even has a feeling of leading a team into the inner circle of the United Fleet's air defense.

When did the Eighth Route Army acquire these weapons, and why didn't they use them before?Could it be that these anti-aircraft guns were given to myself for the first time?

This Major Lu Hang kept scolding his mother in his heart, but the speed in his hands was not slow at all.He immediately raised the altitude and loudly reminded other surviving team members!
"Pull up! Pull up!"

Under normal circumstances, aircraft generally do not use anti-aircraft guns as an important combat target.

Unless he has lost his mind, whoever is fighting the anti-aircraft gun will be done as soon as he finishes the task.

Aircraft attacking ground targets often choose high-value targets, such as ground transportation hubs, command posts, artillery units, armored units, transport units, and so on.

If the opponent has a large number of anti-aircraft guns, it is only at this time that flexible aircraft are needed to attack and harass the ground anti-aircraft guns, creating opportunities for the bombers behind.

Now Asakawa Masamune is facing this kind of choice. His gratitude to Yoshio Shinozuka for his kindness and his loyalty to the locust made him make a choice that was close to suicide.

"Re-choose the angle to attack! Fighters follow me, our task is to attract the attention of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns! Create loopholes for the bombers to break through!"

"Samurai! It's time to sacrifice your life for your country! Black card! On board!"

In the case of fortification bunker camouflage, even if the anti-aircraft guns fire, as long as the gun flames and gunpowder smoke are not obvious, there is a certain probability that the pilot will not be able to tell where the gun positions are.

After hearing the order, the six Type [-] fighter jets immediately adjusted their direction and rushed towards the densest anti-aircraft artillery position with their middle assistants.

Time: October 1940, Location: Southeast Shanxi.

Now!It's a duel between anti-aircraft guns and fighter jets!
Although it is not 37 guns, we have more numbers!There is no need to ignite the cornfield to attract the enemy, the devil will run to die by himself.

Facing the fighter jets rushing up, Deputy Head Han showed a sarcastic expression.Although he has never piloted a plane, it is not the first time he has used anti-aircraft guns to confront a plane.

The position he set up has fortifications, and the small 7.7mm water pipes of the Type [-] fighter jets are difficult to cause damage unless they are directly hit.

Anti-aircraft guns hit fighter jets, because the line of sight is almost unchanged, so you only need to keep firing at one point.

When the fighter jet dives, the anti-aircraft gun looks at the fighter jet like this:
-
(o)——
The fighter jet looks at the anti-aircraft gun like this:
"*"

What's more, because of the aerodynamic shape of the fighter jet, the line of sight will definitely change when diving.This means that when Asakawa is firing, he has to fine-tune the angle of the machine gun according to the speed.

Everyone is machine sighting, I don't need to adjust the bombardment parameters, and you have to fine-tune the fuselage all the time, so it goes without saying whoever is stressed in this situation.

Anti-aircraft gunners just need to overcome their fear and keep firing, and God will do the rest.

There was no accident in the final result. Asakawa watched his teammates get blown up one by one in the air, and his eyes turned red.

During the dive, he kept maneuvering to avoid the anti-aircraft guns.From time to time, small water hoses were used to straf the position, but the effect was always limited, and even the original purpose of attracting firepower was not achieved.

At a position of 300 meters above the ground, a 25×153mm shell hit the nose.

The Type [-] fighter without armor protection directly turned into sparks in the air, and Deputy Head Han provided a one-stop service for Asakawa Zhengzhan.

As for the [-] light explosions that were given high hopes, they were also finished. They miscalculated the data of anti-aircraft firepower.

After seeing such a dense firepower network, the devils immediately decided that these anti-aircraft guns should be installed in double or triple installations. They never thought about the possibility of a single gun.

The even-mounted version has a slightly slower turning speed, and they want to use this to avoid shells and increase the probability of success.

These days, I subconsciously believe that the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft guns are the same as the Jiuliu Cannon, with an effective range of 3000 meters.So I tried to get stuck in the range and start diving to increase the efficiency of the attack.

But Hotchkiss is a Gallic chicken, and even anti-aircraft guns can be drugged.

The huge charge and 60 times the diameter of the barrel allow a 25mm small-caliber gun to have a maximum range of 8000 meters and an effective range of 3500 meters.

It was not the first time that the empiricism had suffered. When these devils were about to continue their attack, they unexpectedly discovered that the Eighth Route Army's artillery could still hit them.

The purpose of the original air defense position was mainly to drive away enemy planes and interfere with enemy planes dropping bombs through intensive firepower.As long as the aircraft is allowed to waste the scarce ammunition, the purpose of air defense can be regarded as completed.

After all, when all kinds of shells hit, the pilot faced a lot of pressure from the barrage, and if he was not careful, the plane would be destroyed,

But because the devils killed themselves, only two of the last five bombers successfully dropped bombs at a distance of 700 meters.

Due to the bad mentality and unstable flying posture, and the angle of dive was not enough, these aerial bombs did not hurt the logistics department at all.In the end, only one plane fled the battlefield and flew to Taiyuan alone.

------

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army.

A staff officer ran into the combat conference room with sweat on his face, and he reported to Yoshio Shinozuka in fear: "General, our plane is back."

"How is the result?"

"The specific results are unknown, but..."

The staff officer faltered: "The airport reported that only one fighter plane came back."

"Nani?"

"what happened?"

Seeing that the staff officer couldn't answer why, Shinozuka Yoshio immediately went to the airport.

At this time, the logistics department also knew that the Devil's plane was ambushed. It wasn't that someone deliberately notified it, but the sound of the air-to-ground duel was too loud.

Anyone with binoculars has seen the Devils planes being shot down one by one.

All are cheering now, celebrating the feat of the flak units.Since entering the war, everyone has been bombed by the Devil's plane.

They killed so many people this time, and they were shot down from the sky, which made everyone exalt and let out their depression.

　Sneak attack and kill five

　　The devil sent six by himself, and five by himself, isn't it too much?
