The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The Japanese army, which was terrified by the rockets and heavy artillery, was already in a mess. The few people who had fled from the other side of the river were lying on the riverside as if paralyzed, covered in muddy water, panting, like a group of people who had left the water. It was the first time in my life that I saw such a terrible shelling, and all of them were left half dead.

The sudden roar of the artillery fire on our side at least saved a little face, and at the same time, it also revived the frightened soldiers a little bit. Under the encouragement of the excellent junior officers, they regained their courage and self-confidence and waited for the troops behind. After arriving, he launched an attack again to wash away his shame.

But the situation is not as optimistic as they thought. The 152-gallon howitzer, which has been extending forward with a range advantage, is bombarding steadily and continuously along several passages from the north, making them restless and always have to be careful. And at this moment, disaster fell from the sky!

The posture of the twelve JF1 "Peregrine" bombers attacking from low altitude was too arrogant, too brutal, and too ostentatious!The anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese army, which has many precautions against this, does not rely on the complete cover of the air force. It opened its posture early and waited for the opponent's arrival. At least 12 25mm anti-aircraft cannons and 12 precious Oerlikon original 20mm cannons, with the help of The FL18 37mm anti-aircraft gun produced by Germany's Rheinmetall, and a large number of triple-caliber double-mounted anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, form the main force of an air defense brigade, specializing in dealing with enemies who show their might from the sky.

As soon as the peregrine falcon came, the anti-aircraft firepower distributed on both sides of the river crossing force within a radius of two kilometers began to play a role.For a while, various sounds of "chug" and "bang bang" on the ground were mixed with the roar of shells, which sounded amazing!

However, the peregrine falcon, whose height was less than 200 meters in the middle of the day, didn't take it seriously at all. It still swooped leisurely at a speed of less than [-] kilometers, as if it was willing to be a target!

But in fact, if you look closely, you will find that the so-called powerful anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese army has little impact on them!

The Type 25mm machine gun developed by the Japanese Army uses a painful 15-round magazine. It takes a few seconds to fire at a low firing speed of 220 rounds per minute. Not to mention the persistence and density; the imported 20mm Oerlikon cannon can reach an astonishing 450 rounds per minute.With twice the shooting speed, the available ammunition is actually 20 rounds of magazines!One pull of the trigger "chug chug" is gone, and then reloading, you have to aim again!

Germany's Rheinmetall's fake FL18 caliber is large enough to completely threaten the belly armor of the Peregrine bomber, but the terrible thing is that the gun is manually loaded, and the theoretical speed is 80 rounds per minute.Even if it is accurate enough to be used as a sniper rifle, how can it be possible to shoot a single shot at a target flying at high speed in the sky? !Even if the doors are assembled, so what, the "bang bang bang" tossing and tossing slowly like knocking on an oil hammer, what luck it is to be able to bring down the plane!

The only good thing is probably the twin-mounted imitation of the Hotchkiss heavy machine gun.The shooting speed is as high as 450 rounds per minute, which is not a small caliber. It seems very ideal, but it is also painful, yes.It uses a 30 round magazine....

God knows how much Ri himself likes to use magazines!On the surface, the caliber is a bit larger than the American Browning heavy machine gun, and its armor-piercing ability and muzzle velocity range are all behind. It can't even penetrate the 20mm carburized steel armor of its own thin-skinned light tank. Not to mention dealing with the thick composite armor layer of the "Peregrine"!

So a very gratifying scene appeared!The swarms of anti-aircraft fire on the ground sounded like intense shooting, and the shirtless and sweaty soldiers next to them were constantly changing magazines, and the shooters had to adjust their direction and aim at any time.Occasionally, I was hit by a few bullets, only to find that he was shaking his wings and continued to fly forward as if he didn't feel it at all... What a cruel humiliation!

There are countless soldiers clenching their teeth, clenching their fists and jumping their feet. Every time they see a small shell exploding on the enemy's fuselage or next to it, they can't help cheering loudly, but they are rushed past safely The enemy plane teased him and trembled all over, as if he had malaria.

Even under such a strange battle situation, 12 peregrines flew over the battlefield unharmed and directly over the Japanese army, each aimed at a slightly denser crowd below, and unceremoniously dropped all the bombs!

The aerial bombs tumbled and scattered in the air.The appearance of spreading more than 200 meters forward and backward, accompanied by the seemingly aimless scattering of fighter jets, but if you really look at their landing points, you will find that they can actually form an angular explosion circle with a diameter of 200 meters!

The explosive power of each aerial bomb weighing 100 kilograms is greater than that of a 152mm plus howitzer. When dropped in such a circle, the explosion radius reaches 400 meters, which is equivalent to an area with a radius of nearly one kilometer being completely covered by crazily surging flames. Sweeping in, there was a deafening roar, and a thick column of fireworks rose from the ground. The nearby Japanese soldiers, whether they were alone, in vehicles, or in tanks and tanks, were all blown to zero without exception. Falling, as if being attacked by a tornado, the sky is full of splinters and splashes!

With such a spectacular explosion as the background, twelve "Peregrine Falcons" dived leisurely to 3 meters, and the 19 tubes of 70mm rocket pods mounted on the two wings steadily aimed at the noteworthy targets below, especially those that were not bombed. Then, still "bang bang bang" slowly firing the guns with anti-aircraft ammunition, and the "chi chi chi" bursts of price shot up!

Thanks to the work achievements of the rocket propulsion laboratory with extremely high research progress, rocket weapons have been widely installed in the current task force, sea, air and army, and the air force rocket nest is an indispensable and important part.

The ultra-light and strong rocket nest made of glass fiber as the main body has an empty weight of only tens of kilograms, which can be easily carried by a big man. The total weight after being filled with 70mm rockets is also completely within the tolerance range of various fighter hangpoints. Specially designed The aerodynamic shape will not affect the air-to-heavy maneuvering of the fighter too much, and the unified standard mounting unit is suitable for any kind of ground attack fighter.The complexity of logistical work is simplified to the greatest extent.

The small and exquisite 70mm rocket with a round head and a round body spouts smoke and smoke, and its trajectory bends straight to the ground target. At such a low altitude, it can clearly and unmistakably take care of every slightly larger unit. The first thing that suffers is that it is sweaty. The anti-aircraft soldiers, rockets pierced directly next to or in the middle of them as if they had eyes, and "boom boom" explosions sounded in succession. The combat department had more charges than the 75mm field artillery, including steel ball One shot of high-energy explosives sweeps across the area, and all machine guns and cannons are wiped out, and shields are useless!

The air defense force was blown up first, it was horrible!

But that's just the beginning!Each fighter carries a full 38 rockets.Experienced pilots can control fighter planes at the same level as high-altitude target shooting, and overturn a group of targets with two shots at a time. Those on the route are all given priority!

The scattered air defense positions swept past, leaving a piece of rising fireworks and shattered flesh and steel, and the artillery who were desperately firing at the rear came into view immediately!

The air defense team directly under the Artillery Wing, who had already seen something was wrong, hastily turned its guns and launched a violent bombardment.But at this altitude, the speed of fighter jets passing by is much faster than their turning around, and at a distance of one kilometer, the cunning bomber suddenly releases rockets, and the anti-aircraft guns waiting for the target to approach and aim It was blown into scrap iron, followed by targeted killing of the scattered artillery. Strike with precision!

The ear-piercing shots of "嗤嗤嗤" happened one after another, and it was barely audible to be covered by the continuous explosions, but the rockets that shot down rapidly with their tail flames were so shocking that the terrified Japanese artillery would not notice It's all difficult!

However, it was useless to find out.They had no way to stop the raging rockets. The lightest 75mm field artillery was first blown away by the paired rockets, and the shells piled next to it were even exploded. A series of "rumbling" explosions swept across the entire area. In the inner area, some artillery pieces that were farther away were also blown to pieces!

The low-altitude performance of jf1 "Peregrine Falcon" is excellent!The wide wings and huge deceleration flaps allow it to hover at a very low speed, and the 1600-horsepower engine ensures that the body weighing more than three tons can be stably supported.Calmly tidy up the objects one by one!

Major General Guan Yuxun was dragged away from the command tank by his subordinates, so he survived without being targeted. Under the forcible cover of two soldiers, he could barely poke his head out of the ditch, staring at Ao Ran Going north, the fighter planes that were bombarding the heavy artillery position roared unwillingly, with a big tendon sprouting on their foreheads.Booming and bouncing, his face couldn't tell what color it was, anyway, it looked so distorted that it didn't look like a human!

But no matter how he shouted, it was useless. For the "Peregrine Falcon", shooting out all the ammunition mounted in the shortest time was the only thing they had to do.The ammunition capacity of each plane is as high as 25 ton, and it is only mounted. The two 1200mm cannons juxtaposed in front of it have [-] rounds of ammunition that have not been used yet!

On the fertile plains, all the troops and equipment of the Japanese army were invisible, and the 150 heavy artillery that was constantly roaring in retaliation for the opponent's bombardment was the most conspicuous. With twelve bombers swarming up like locusts, beating their heads and brains, and shooting out all the rockets as if they didn't need money, the fighters that immediately relaxed speeded up and surrounded the Japanese army with a width of 20 kilometers. The wanton sweeping and massacre in the rear continued to empty all the ammunition before ascending to the sky and walking away, leaving behind a billowing smoke billowing into the sky!

At high altitude, 24 fighter planes that had never been seen before were mixed with groups of Japanese fighter planes and bombers. The ability is stronger than all the enemy planes he knows!

This is an extremely ferocious fighter. It looks like a great white shark from the side. Under the sharp mouth of the engine guard, a huge air intake is painted in the shape of a shark's mouth. The smooth body transitions smoothly. There is no obtrusive structure on the top except for the protruding curved cockpit, the slightly upwardly curved wings are obviously swept back, and the thick cannons are deeply buried in the middle, with only a little firing hole exposed to make their existence noticeable!

The brand-new air combat platform that has never been revealed to the outside world, the p24 "Flying Shark", which is regarded as the second general-purpose fighter, has shown its extraordinary performance for the first time!

From the successful design in 1934 to the successful test flight in 1935, this fighter has been continuously improved. The airframe has been repeatedly optimized. The engine started from 1600 horsepower to the latest 2000 horsepower version, and the ceiling is more than 12500 meters. Continue to maintain Consistent high range, high armor features.What is particularly commendable is the improvement made to the relatively low maneuverability of the original p21. With the accumulation of experience of the design team, there have been earth-shaking changes. It is guaranteed to be as high as 615 kilometers (at 1600 horsepower) and 668 kilometers (at 2000 horsepower). At the same time as the maximum level flight speed, it also has an instantaneous disk and climb rate far exceeding that of a Japanese fighter.

What's even more astonishing is that while it has two 25mm machine guns and two heavy machine guns, it can also reach a minimum range of 2 kilometers and a maximum range of 1500 kilometers!And in addition to the basic bomb mount, it can also mount the conventional 3000-tube rocket pod, and the 19-tube cannon pod that is under development!

The superior aerodynamic layout and the stable and reliable 18-cylinder piston engine endow it with various inherent advantages. The air combat type p24a, the bombing type p24b, the shipborne type p24c, the two-seater p24d, and other special-purpose modifications, Now it has become a series, just wait for the right opportunity to take it out, and use it as an empty victory equipment to surprise the opponent by surprise!

Now, after suffering a major defeat, the Japanese Air Force has once again encountered such a troublesome opponent, who is more difficult and dangerous than they know!

A face-to-face meeting, the p24a formation that completely surpassed the opponent gave the opponent a blow!When the Japanese fighter planes found that the two sides were approaching and tried to fight dogs with high mobility, tragedy happened again!The opponent's body, which is obviously a full circle larger than his own fighter, is actually more maneuverable!

The speed of approaching is staggering. The key is that when fighting close to the body, the heavy machine guns in the front of the cockpit and the fully buried cannons built in the wings alternately fire. The density is unreasonable and short. It seems that there are four fighters fighting around at the same time, easily sending out a spiraling rain of terrorist bullets. If one is inattentive, it will be a series of weak Japanese fighters. Before they even have time to protest, they directly collapse and explode!

"This is unscientific!" Dozens of Japanese pilots yelled like this, otherwise it would not be enough to express their inner anger and despair!

How could it be like this, every time he strikes out, he encounters an unpredictable opponent, and every time he is tossed without warning, this beating is too cruel, too cruel, not even given a chance, even worse than The army and navy are even more ugly. How did they offend them? They must be so unwilling to stop and suppress the Imperial Air Force!To be continued. .
