I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 908: How much ammunition do they carry for each battle?
The sudden cessation of fire from dozens of anti-aircraft guns at the east gate position of Qubei County confused both the enemy and us.

However, Xu Erfei of our army quickly reacted and shouted:

"Comrades, hold steady, aim and shoot!
Our company, without the support of anti-aircraft guns, is not afraid of these little devils!"

After the battle and crazy bombardment, the Japanese army was reduced to only about 2500 people out of the original 1500 people.

At this moment, there were more than 300 people from the first company of the second battalion and more than 300 people from the third company of the first battalion on his position. The contrast in strength between him and the Japanese was no longer as great as it was at the beginning.

Not to mention, the beating they just received had already brought the Japanese's morale to rock bottom.

……

On the Japanese side, Kumagoro Hashimoto also discovered that more than half of the opponent's original intensive artillery bombardment had disappeared.

Although he didn't know the reason, it didn't stop him from yelling crazily:

"Warriors, the Tubalu's artillery is out of shells, victory is at hand!
It's a black card! Onboard!
Kill to—"

Hearing his order, a group of young and inexperienced men in the Japanese army immediately stood up and charged forward.

However, the next second, they were beaten into bloody messes by the hail of heavy machine gun bullets.

Angered, Kumagoro Hashimoto yelled:

“Bagya Road!
It's been so long, why haven't the Eighth Route Army run out of bullets yet? ? ?

How many basic ammunition do they carry for each battle?"

Of course, no one could answer his question.

However, a few minutes later, he discovered that the mountain artillery shells that the opponent had just been firing continuously had disappeared.

The most surprising thing was that within a few minutes, the five tall tanks parked in the distance also began to emit black smoke and rumbled away.

No longer use the heavy machine guns on the tanks to fire wildly at them.

Seeing this, Kumagoro Hashimoto was suddenly overjoyed.

He knew that something huge must have happened.

Or maybe the enemy’s artillery shells and bullets have been almost used up.

Or maybe our reinforcements have arrived!
The opponent had to divert troops to respond.

……

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted again:
"Warriors, our reinforcements have arrived, and the Tubalu are doomed!

Hurry up, rush forward!
Kill to—"

However, at this moment, where are the young and inexperienced people like those just now under his command?
He shouted for a long time, but not a single Japanese soldier got up and rushed forward.

Instead, a captain came over and questioned him:
"Sir, where are our reinforcements?"

When Kumagoro Hashimoto saw this, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

He immediately slapped the captain in the face and roared:
"idiot!
Didn’t you see that the Eighth Route Army’s artillery fire has stopped?

Is it our reinforcements that have arrived, or what?"

The captain was beaten and could only lower his head in grievance.

But he was not convinced, and still muttered:
"Sir, the casualties among the warriors are too great. We cannot charge forward rashly.

If reinforcements arrive, we should first tie up the Eighth Route Army and wait for them to surround us!

Besides, don’t they have eight large-caliber indirect-fire artillery pieces firing?”

As soon as he said this, Hashimoto Kumagoro wanted to draw his sword and chop someone on the spot.

Isn't this just cowardice?
Fortunately, he knew that this was a battlefield and if he acted recklessly he would only get shot.

——Although the Japanese officers often beat and scold the soldiers, there were also many soldiers who shot the officers in the back!

So after a little thought, he nodded and said:

"Yoshi! Order the warriors not to stand up and charge, just crawl forward faster!
The Tubalu's artillery fire is just this little bit left, this is our best chance!"

Seeing him compromise, the captain naturally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

Then he went back and gave orders to his men.

……

At the position of the 1st Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion.

Feng Shuanglin received Yang Yuanshan's telegram and immediately shouted at the cadres to recheck the arrangements of their artillery positions.

For each gun, only the necessary gunners and ammunition handlers were retained.

The others all hid in anti-artillery caves, valleys and other places.

Soon, the Japanese planes came within the range of their anti-aircraft guns.

Feng Shuanglin observed carefully and found that the opponent's flying altitude was at least 4000 meters, and his brows were immediately frowned.

Such a height almost exceeded the maximum firing height of the anti-aircraft guns in their hands, and there was no way to achieve the accuracy of the artillery fire.

The maximum firing height of the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun is usually around 4600 meters!
The cannons in their hands were produced by Yang Yuanshan’s system. They were of very good quality, but their firing height could only increase by two or three hundred meters at most, and definitely could not reach 5000 meters!
So he could only order:

"Company One, fire with two guns to lure the Japs down!"

Company commander Ding Xiaohua immediately received the order and directed the two guns at the edge of the position to open fire.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two gunshots were heard, and two 40mm shells flew into the sky.

……

At this moment in the sky, Lieutenant Colonel Shiro Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese 20th Flying Squadron, was flying a fighter plane at the front of the formation.

His expression was very serious, and he kept giving orders on the intercom:

"Keep your altitude, be careful of the anti-aircraft guns of the Eighth Route Army!"

Some of the Japanese pilots answered loudly:
"Hi!"

Some, however, joked:

"Captain, you are too cautious!
The Chinese regular air defense forces cannot fight against our Imperial Army Air Force, let alone the Tubalu!"

However, the next second, someone saw something flying in the sky below and immediately cried out:
"Baga! The Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft guns!"

Hearing the scream, the Japanese pilots instinctively pushed the joystick hard to pull the plane higher.

At this time, Yamamoto Shiro's order was issued:

"Don't panic! The anti-aircraft guns of the Eighth Route Army don't have enough effective firing height!

Warriors, hurry up, spread out and dive, bomb their anti-aircraft gun positions!"

Hearing his order, the pilots immediately agreed.

He suddenly pushed the joystick in the opposite direction, changing the plane that had just been pulled up violently into a downward dive.

Because the changes were too rapid, and the Japanese bombers were loaded with aerial bombs and were extremely heavy.

As a result, the wing of one of the bombers suddenly broke apart due to the damage caused by the sudden ascent and subsequent impact.

At this point, the pilot could no longer control the plane. He felt himself falling down and the world was spinning around him. He immediately shouted in horror:

"Baga! What's going on?

I lost control of my plane!"

At this time, the pilots of the planes behind him saw his situation and shouted:

"Kumada-kun, your wing is broken!

Quickly, drop all the bombs, pull up the plane again, and find a place to make an emergency landing! "

When the pilot Ryuken Kumada heard this, he felt hopeless.

The wing is broken. How can we find a place to make an emergency landing?
He's a freshman who just graduated from aviation school!
What you are driving now is a bulky bomber!
Immediately scolded:

"Baga! Damn the ground crew! They let me take off without even checking the condition of the plane!!!
Everything must die! "

Little did he know that the ground staff were not to blame.

It is entirely due to the lack of resources in Fuso, which leads to the poor quality of materials used in producing aircraft.

Of course, now it’s useless for Ryunosuke Kumada to curse the ground staff’s ancestors.

Seeing the plane getting closer and closer to the ground, he hurriedly tried to press the bomb button to reduce the weight of the plane.

But at this moment, the huge bomber had lost control in the air and rolled over. He fumbled around but couldn't find the bomb-dropping button.

Finally, a few minutes later, it crashed onto a hilltop with a loud bang, making an earth-shattering noise.

"boom!"

Then there was the sound of an aerial bomb exploding.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, the huge impact force stirred up dust and wreckage all over the sky, and plane fragments flew everywhere.

The scene is terrible!

……

A bomber was lost at the beginning, and the team leader Yamamoto Shiro was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and roared:
"Baka! Kumada Ryuken is such an idiot! Waste of shit!!"

Then he angrily scolded the captain of the first squadron, Major Nobusumi Takeshita:

"Takeshita Nobusumi!
What a bunch of rubbish you have under your command!
Such a waste of the Locust Army’s bombers!

Don't you know that every one of our bombers is very valuable?"

Takeshita Nobusumi felt very wronged and quickly retorted:

“Sir Captain, Kumada-kun’s flight time is just 100 hours, and he’s still a flight student!
It's all because of the First Army of Jin, which has consumed too many of our Army Aviation's experienced pilots!"

Hearing this, Shiro Yamamoto almost vomited blood.

Immediately roared:

“Bagya Road!
Why did those bastard politicians assign these trash who are not qualified to fight in the battlefield to my team???"

After hearing what he said, the other pilots were speechless.

Many people secretly cursed: Do you think we are willing to go to the battlefield? Bastard!
