Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 578 Large-caliber anti-aircraft gun!

in the afternoon.

Southeastern Shanxi.

Headquarters.

"good news."

The Chief of Staff came from the telegraph room to the war room, holding a telegram in his hand and smiling:

"Li Yunlong just sent a telegram saying that around 1:60 this afternoon, more than Japanese planes attacked the Northwest Shanxi Arsenal."

The commander was staring at the map and didn't notice the chief of staff's expression. He asked seriously, "What are the losses?"

Unlike the Huangyadong Arsenal, the Northwest Shanxi Arsenal was built in the open air and is located in an open area.

The construction of the arsenal would inevitably escape the eyes of the Japanese reconnaissance planes, and it was only a matter of time before it was bombed.

Japanese planes also came to the Huangyadong Arsenal to bomb it, but even the heavy aerial bombs could not hit it.

However, the concrete buildings of the Northwest Shanxi Arsenal could be shaken by the Japanese's heavy aerial bombs.

If the Northwest Shanxi Arsenal were to be suddenly attacked, the losses would be considerable.

"The Japanese suffered about 30 casualties, and two parachuting Japanese pilots were captured. The New st Regiment suffered very little loss."

As he spoke, the chief of staff handed the telegram to the leader.

"Oh?"

The leader looked up in surprise, took the telegram and started reading it.

"Well done."

After reading the telegram, the leader looked excited and praised from the bottom of his heart.

"How did this guy manage to shoot down and damage about 30 Japanese planes?"

The weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi were no less than those of the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi.

The Japanese air force had attacked the Huangyadong Arsenal several times before.

The 129th Division only shot down two Japanese planes.

But Li Yunlong shot down about 30 of them in one go.

Although the results were somewhat different from the shelling of Datong Airport and Zhangjiakou Airport.

But this time it was shot down by anti-aircraft guns.

This record is indeed a bit surprising.

"I don't know. If you want to know how Li Yunlong won, you can only wait for Li Yunlong to submit his battle report."

The chief nodded. Although he was a little curious, he was not in a hurry.

Anyway, since Li Yunlong achieved such great results this time, the headquarters will definitely benefit from it.

"Send a telegram back to Li Yunlong, commending him and wishing him prosperity."

"clear."

The chief of staff smiled and quickly drafted a telegram.

There is no need to say much else. Li Yunlong will understand it immediately when he sees the words "Congratulations and get rich".

The chief of staff then walked to the leader and looked at the hand-drawn map on the table. The map showed that both sides of the major traffic arteries were filled with large and small Japanese strongholds.

The chief said.

"The Japanese army built a fortress in Jingxing County."

"Concrete fortifications were also built on the main and small roads leading from Taihang Mountains to Hebei Province."

"In addition, the Japanese have also strengthened Niangzi Pass a lot, building some tunnels and concrete bunkers and artillery towers."

"It seems," the Chief of Staff said, "Tada Shun wants to cut off our connection with the Hebei-Central Military Region and the Hebei-South Military Region."

"not only that."

The commander shook his head. "The Japanese intend to use this cage plan to first cut off the connection between our headquarters and the secondary military region. Then, using the transportation lines and strongholds, they will cut the enemy into several pieces like a pancake, and then concentrate their forces to defeat them one by one."

The chief of staff then asked, "What is the meaning of this method?"

"Humph." The commander snorted coldly: "Times have changed. Our troops are no longer the same as they were two years ago when they crossed the Yellow River to the east."

"Each second-level military region has sufficient weapons and ammunition. We can launch a counterattack based on the situation in each military region to break the enemy's cage plan."

"As for the Shanxi battlefield..."

"Once we have air superiority, we can launch a campaign to annihilate the Japanese First Army."

The chief of staff had an idea: having air superiority means the Eighth Route Army has planes.

"There is still about half a year before the first batch of pilots graduate. It will be soon." The chief of staff smiled slightly.

Air superiority is very important in modern warfare, especially in large-scale troop operations.

The balance of war will tilt towards whichever side has air superiority.

"That's right." The leader nodded, his eyes full of anticipation. "It will be soon."

……

"Haha, Brother Lin, why are we meeting at the airport this time?"

The jeep braked suddenly and stopped on the secondary runway. Li Yunlong jumped out and rushed towards Lin Feng impatiently.

After the battle at the Northwest Shanxi Arsenal, Li Yunlong couldn't wait to contact Boss Lin to receive the goods.

"Meeting at the airport, of course there will be surprises."

Suddenly, Lin Feng changed the subject and said:

"Brother Yunlong, you did a great job this time. Not only did you find the high-ranking agent lurking in the arsenal so quickly, but you also shot down 21 Japanese planes and killed 36 pilots."

This time, Li Yunlong's air defense forces shot down a total of 6 fighters and 15 bombers.

A fighter plane is flown by one pilot, while a bomber plane is flown by two pilots.

Although there were other crew members on the bomber, these devils were not worth much, so their price was calculated together with the plane.

With a chuckle, Li Yunlong looked at his companion Wei Dazhong in confusion: "Wei Dazhong, didn't we shoot down 18 planes? Is your damn statistics wrong?"

Wei Dazhong pondered and said, "Captain, I'm sure the statistics are correct. There are only so many crash sites for the Japanese planes. It's impossible that I counted them wrong."

Lin Feng explained: "On the way back to Taiyuan Airport, three Japanese planes crashed, and that was also blamed on you."

"Haha." Li Yunlong was delighted. "So that's how it is."

The crash of three Japanese planes was a surprise.

However, Li Yunlong guessed that this was not the surprise Boss Lin was talking about. Rubbing his hands, Li Yunlong asked, "Brother Lin, where's the surprise?"

Lin Feng: "The surprise will be here soon."

A few minutes later, a tapping sound was heard in the sky.

Li Yunlong immediately raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the sound. His eyes widened immediately: "This is..."

In the field of view of the telescope, four heavy helicopters, with four twin-mounted cannons mounted under their bellies, were flying towards the airport.

Around the heavy helicopter, there were Boss Lin's jet fighters escorting it.

Not long after, four heavy helicopters arrived and placed four twin-mounted cannons on the secondary runway.

After the helicopter left, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao, Wei Dazhong and others rushed towards the cannon impatiently.

Lin Feng followed up: "Your New 250st Regiment has destroyed more than 8 enemy aircraft. I will reward you with eight 128mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns and an automatic air defense system."

"hiss!"

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others couldn't help but gasp.

It turned out to be a 128mm anti-aircraft gun, and it was also equipped with an automatic air defense system.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang thought that the surprise that Brother Lin mentioned must be a good thing, and the quantity would not be small, but 8 128mm anti-aircraft guns, and they were all twin-mounted, which was equivalent to 16 128mm anti-aircraft guns, was indeed a bit beyond their expectations.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang exchanged a glance, and a thought flashed through their minds at the same time:
"nice one."

"Hahaha, thank you, Brother Lin."

Li Yunlong couldn't close his mouth.

This was just the reward for shooting down more than 250 Japanese planes, not the price for shooting down 21 planes and 36 pilots this time.

This means there’s more good stuff coming up!
