Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The "Militia Training Manual", one of the three great books, contains some ground air defense operations. For example, how to shoot down airplanes with rifles requires finding an advance amount.

Of course, you can also do what the quick reaction company does now, set up an anti-aircraft shooting area in advance, arrange it in front of the enemy aircraft's flight route, and then calculate the time node of the intersection of the two sides based on the aircraft speed and the speed of the bullet, and open fire at the predetermined time.

Without anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft missiles, the only way to defend against the air is to use this low-end and inefficient method.

Da da da... 30 Qi Lali light machine guns, 30 assault rifles, 30 submachine guns, and 30 semi-automatic guns fired at the same time, forming a bullet array with a span of more than 300 meters square in the air.

At the four corners of this array, there were four Min-4 heavy machine guns, which also aimed their bullets at the oncoming planes and fired strings of bullets in front of the noses of the planes.

As the bullets on the ground flew up, the Japanese plane flew over, and the two sides finally met in the air! Ding ding dang dang... On the plane, amid the roar of the engine, the Japanese bombardier heard the sound coming from under his feet, and there was also vibration coming from the fuselage. One unlucky person suddenly felt a shock under his buttocks, and then a sharp pain came from his abdomen...

To be honest, bullets from the ground hitting an airplane are not that fatal as long as they don’t hit important parts. After all, airplanes, especially bombers, have a certain degree of protection! Look at the reconnaissance plane in the lead. There were clearly several strings of bullet holes on its wings, but the plane still took off.

Some planes, however, had bullet holes all the way from the nose to the belly, but they were not shot down, and continued to fly and rise! Of course, there were also unlucky ones, such as a certain plane, whose left engine was fortunately crossed by two bullets, and then the engine caught fire and smoke, and the entire plane lost half of its power.

There was another plane that did not have any mechanical failure, but the spilled fuel indicated that the plane's fuel tank had been punctured!

The sudden attack caused the formation to be in a state of chaos! The planes flew over the mountain village, some of them pulled up, some deviated from their course, and some were trying to pull up and suddenly crashed into the distant mountain top, causing a violent explosion.

In the air, the formation of aircraft was finally reorganized, but one plane headed directly for Taiyuan Airport. There was fuel leakage along the way, and it was unclear whether it could return safely.

"Damn it! The Eighth Route Army actually has anti-aircraft firepower. We must fight back, we must fight back!" Hysterical roars came from the radio of the Japanese bomber formation in the sky.

"Mr. Sasaki, I have to remind you that one of our bombers has crashed and the pilot failed to escape! If we retaliate on the ground, we will probably have casualties! The key is that we have run out of bombs and our onboard machine guns are not loaded with bullets!" A helpless voice came from Sasaki's headphones.

"Damn it! It's all because of those idiots in the navy. They stole the military funds and built some weak ships, which were all wasted in the sea! Damn it..."

"Ahem, what I want to say is that our altitude is too low, which gives the Eighth Route Army a chance to counterattack us! So, we must pay attention to this!" "Baga, we are dive bombers, not horizontal bombers! Damn it, dive bombers are also used to improve the accuracy of the navy's bombing ships, baga..."

"Baga, return, return, we have done enough and suffered losses, there is no need to fight here! Also, Sakuragi's plane's fuel tank has been pierced, we need to accompany him to protect him!"

After the pilots exchanged ideas for a while, the Japanese plane flew away and did not stay in the air. At this time, in Shouyang City, the explosion of the bomb caused a large fire, many houses collapsed, and thick smoke filled the sky over the entire county. On the hill outside the county, the bomb craters stretched from the west end of the hill to the east end, and there were also bullet holes from the reconnaissance plane's machine gun in a row...

"Fortunately we evacuated, otherwise the bombing just now would have killed at least 7% of our artillery battalion!" On the stone ridge in the north, Wang Zixian was looking at the original position with a telescope, feeling extremely scared.

"You know what, it's pretty good to hide in a safe place and watch the Japanese planes lay eggs! But our old captain will probably suffer some casualties!" Zheng Changfeng turned his gaze towards Shouyang City.

"The casualties shouldn't be too great. He only has less than a company of troops there, so the losses shouldn't be too high! But the next step is the Japanese's official attack! We just received a telegram from the New Second Regiment. Several trains have arrived behind the Japanese, bringing in more Japanese! It seems that the intelligence from the headquarters that more than 5000 Japanese have gathered in Yuci is true!"

"Yes, the Japanese sent the vanguard first, but they dared to bring the mountain artillery here in advance. This clearly shows that they want to have a big fight with us, and they are also sure that we dare not take the initiative to attack!"

"The devils didn't use the tactic of adding fuel to the fire, but instead pulled their main force over. This is difficult to deal with! With more than 5000 devils and puppet troops, their strength is already equal to ours!"

"The new Second Regiment plus the county battalion have a total of more than 2000 soldiers. Our main regiment, the First Battalion, the quick reaction company, and the artillery battalion have a total of more than 2000 soldiers. There are also more than 2000 soldiers from the two local regiments coming from Mafang. The number of the Japanese plus the puppet army is a little more than ours, right? So in the next battle, we can only let the Japanese make the move, and we can't take the initiative to attack!"

"Fortunately, as long as we hold on for a day or two and wait for the supplies to be delivered to the rear, we can take the initiative to retreat and fight a mobile war with the Japanese..."

While the officers of the Beishan detachment were talking, the enemy planes had completely disappeared, and only the one that crashed into the mountain was still smoking. However, they had no time to care about the plane that crashed into the mountain, because after the commotion of the plane, the enemy in the south had already reached the attacking distance, and a war was imminent.

More than 800 Japanese soldiers gathered over 800 meters away from the county town, carrying sacks and filling the riverbed of the Baima River with sand. Then, some Japanese soldiers carried sandbags forward and placed them more than 600 meters away from the south gate of the county town. Soon, a curved sandbag wall spanning more than 400 meters was formed, with shooting holes and other facilities on it.

After the sandbag wall was formed, the Japanese did not sit idle, but continued to swing the engineer shovel and engineer pickaxe to dig behind the sandbag wall. With the continuous flying of dirt and gravel, the Japanese planned to dig another trench behind the sandbag wall. (End of this chapter)
