Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 52 The st Guards Brigade was forced to make a tactical shift!

"The army is just a bunch of useless people. They fought for three days but still failed to take down a position. In the end, they had to beg us for mercy."

They are affiliated with the 5rd Joint Air Force of the Navy's 3th Fleet, with a total of fighter jets. This is the maximum support provided by the Navy to cooperate with the Army's operations.

Originally their mission was quite easy. They just had to conduct reconnaissance every day and then send out fighter planes to carry out bombing.

According to the usual practice, it was their turn to rest today, but something unexpected happened.

Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando called the 3rd Air Group and requested support from the Naval Aviation Group.

This made the captain of the naval aviation team stunned for a long time. Although he was confused, he still obeyed the order and sent twelve Type 96 carrier-based fighters to support the position of the 1st Guards Brigade.

In fact, Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi did not want to make this call. It was Major General Sakurada Takeshi who called him personally and asked him to send air force support.

After a moment of silence, Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi asked a soul-searching question.

It’s been four days, and we still haven’t taken the Shankouxu position?

According to the plan, Binyang would be captured in seven days.

As a result, more than half of the time had passed and they hadn't even taken down Gan Tang.

This is a bit of a letdown of the name of the Imperial Guards Division.

Upon hearing this, Major General Sakurada Takeshi fell silent. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said that the Chinese troops on the Yamaguchixu position were all equipped with German weapons. Not only that, they were also equipped with 150mm heavy howitzers. His troops were suffering from heavy artillery bombardment and suffered heavy losses.

After saying this, Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi was shocked. There had been 150mm howitzers at Kunlun Pass before, but later the shells were used up and they became completely useless.

Why does it appear again now?

After consulting the reports from various brigades, they also discovered that the firepower of the Chinese army on the front had increased significantly, and a large number of German equipment had appeared.

This made Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi feel something was wrong.

Even if an arms dealer had stockpiled weapons and equipment in advance, there wouldn't be so many, right?

However, it was impossible to figure out what was going on for the time being, so the only thing they could do was to send out fighter jets from the naval aviation force to help the 1st Guards Brigade out of the predicament.

The naval aviation forces, who were unaware of the truth, thought that it was the incompetence of the army and naturally made all kinds of ridicule.

"Once you arrive at the Chinese army's position, immediately lower your altitude and prepare for bombing." The Japanese naval aviation officer in charge took one look at the position on the ground and issued a combat order.

"Hay."

As for the worry about being shot down?

Are you kidding me?
Does the Chinese army have anti-aircraft weapons?
Not to mention anti-aircraft guns, there weren't even many anti-aircraft machine guns.

And most of them are equipped in mountain cities to protect the security there.

Therefore, Japanese fighter pilots were very brave and flying at low altitudes was common for them.

To put it bluntly, they are bullying them because they have no anti-aircraft weapons.

If there were anti-aircraft guns, do you think the Japanese pilots would dare to be so arrogant?
"The Japanese fighter planes are so arrogant, flying at a low altitude." Long Wenjian had been gnashing his teeth in hatred for a long time. Seeing that the other party was flying at a low altitude again and trying to bomb the frontline positions, his tone was naturally not very good.

"It's okay. If God wants to destroy someone, he must first make him crazy." Lu Yuhua still said calmly, seemingly unmoved.

"What do you mean?" Long Wenjian looked at him blankly.

"What it means is that when God wants to make someone suffer, he always makes him forget himself. Before the Japanese devil gets into trouble, he must let him show off for a while. To put it simply, the villain dies because he talks too much." Lu Yuhua glanced at him and explained casually.

In the sky, the pilots of the Japanese Naval Aviation Force strafed the frontline positions and then increased their altitude. As a result, they saw the heavy artillery positions firing in the distance.

"Yo, find the Chinese army's heavy artillery position." After hearing the report from his team members, the captain of the Japanese naval aviation team immediately ordered the destruction of the Chinese army's artillery positions.

Little did they know that while they were flying towards the artillery position, the anti-aircraft artillery company, which had been waiting for a long time, was calculating the altitude of the Japanese fighter planes.

When he saw the enemy entering the ambush range, Company Commander Wu Yi revealed a cruel smile.

"Fire!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

It is jokingly called the 37mm hand-operated machine, although it is pretty bad.

But it is still effective against these low-flying Japanese fighter planes.

Not to mention, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun next to it provided auxiliary shooting.

The flames flew out from the ground and chased after the Japanese fighter planes. In the first round of attack, a Japanese fighter plane was shot down directly.

boom!
The Japanese pilot inside was carried away by the debris produced by the explosion before he could react.

"Damn it, how come the Chinese army has anti-aircraft weapons?" The Japanese captain who came to his senses shouted loudly.

But it's too late!

Because the speed was too fast, there was no time to brake.

"Climb, climb."

Unfortunately, the climb also takes a while.

If forced to climb, the high speed will cause the fighter to disintegrate directly.

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Although the 37mm hand-operated machine gun is weak and its firing rate is also average, the speed is still acceptable if more than ten guns are fired at the same time.

Not to mention the 88mm anti-aircraft gun next to it, which has a better air defense effect.

boom!
A fighter plane was directly blown up in mid-air.

"Captain, I've been shot, baka, I'm crashing."

"Baga, these damn Chinese soldiers, climb, climb."

"Pull it up, pull it up, keep pulling it up."

Unfortunately, no matter how high you raise the target, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun will be able to catch up.

"boom!"

Another Japanese fighter plane was shot down with accuracy.

"It's the fifth one." Lu Yuhua watched another fighter plane being shot down through the telescope, and the smile on his face became even wider.

Long Wenjian, who was standing next to him, instantly understood what that meant.

The Japanese army, which had always been rampant, finally suffered a great loss.

The remaining seven fighter planes climbed madly, but the high-explosive bombs behind them kept biting them.

The hit rate of the air defense troops upgraded by merit is still very good.

"Wow, five thousand merits for a fighter plane. Wow, it's quite valuable." Seeing the merit value jumping again, Lu Yuhua's smile became even wider.

There was laughter and joy here, but Major General Sakurada Takeshi and other Japanese soldiers felt a chill in their hearts.

They were looking forward to the air force's performance and destroying the Chinese army's heavy artillery positions with great joy.

The results of it?
The other side actually has anti-aircraft guns.

This is incredible.

Since when did the poor Chinese army have anti-aircraft guns?

Is this still a ragtag army?

This is probably the reappearance of the German-equipped division of that year.

When he thought of this, Major General Sakurada Takeshi felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

He felt like he was finished.

"Mr. Commander, should we make a tactical shift?" a staff officer asked cautiously.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the so-called air support is useless.

Whether the remaining fighters can survive is another matter.

Now we must consider the future of the 1st Guards Brigade.

Thinking of this, Major General Sakurada Takeshi roared with gritted teeth.

"Transfer to the 18th Division Tactics."

"Hay."

I actually made it into the new book list, which is really unexpected. Thank you all for your support. Although there are few updates, there is nothing I can do. This is how it is during the new book period. Once it is on the shelves, I will update 10,000 times!
