Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

Su Zheng looked at the time. It was 12:54.

According to this time calculation, the Japanese fighter planes should have taken off from the airport and are flying to Ping'an County.

The Japanese air raid is coming...this is a big trouble.

Because this is a field operation, it is difficult to build an air defense firepower network.

Su Zheng said solemnly to Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Zhao Donghai and others beside him: "Stop attacking Ping'an County, all soldiers are ready to withstand the airstrike!"

"Also, all troops should quickly set up machine gun positions and prepare to deal with the Japanese air raid!"

"Yang Zhihua, your artillery company should go into hiding immediately. We don't have many artillery pieces left. If they are bombed by the Japanese planes, we will lose our siege weapon!" (Qian De)

Zhou Weiguo, Yang Zhihua, Lei Zifeng and the others all responded loudly: "Yes!"

Afterwards, Su Zheng arranged relevant response measures one after another to minimize casualties.

For example, evacuating soldiers from their positions and hiding in other places.

Stop the attack!

Set up anti-aircraft firepower points.

At the same time, strengthen fortifications, etc.

Everything is proceeding in full swing.

After Su Zheng quickly deployed the relevant tasks, he returned to Dongling Village.

Obviously, Su was preparing to personally fly a P51 Mustang fighter to deal with the Japanese fighter planes.

Seeing Su Zheng coming back, Xiao Ya went up to him and asked, "Captain, why are you back?"

Su Zheng: "Get ready to fly fighter planes to fight the Japs!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ya said with some concern: "Captain, this is too dangerous, isn't it? We only have one fighter plane, but we don't know how many fighter planes the Japanese will send out. This is really too dangerous!"

"You are the soul and spiritual leader of our independent battalion. Nothing can happen to you!"

Su Zheng naturally knew that Xiao Ya was concerned about him, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry...it's okay...Now I am the only one in the entire independent battalion who can control the fighter planes and fight against the Japanese fighter planes."

The independent battalion has trained five pilots in the first batch, the most outstanding of whom is He Wenjian.

However, because the training lasted less than ten days, even He Wenjian only knew how to fly and control the plane.

It would be even more dangerous for He Wenjian to fly a P51 Mustang fighter to engage in an air battle with the Japanese fighter planes.

It is estimated that within a few rounds, the P51 Mustang fighter will be shot down by the Zero fighter or even the bomber.

After all, there is a big difference between being able to fly a plane and air combat.

Many aircraft tactical maneuvers or air combat techniques...these are things that He Wenjian cannot do.

Now only Su Zheng can maximize the role of the P51 Mustang fighter.

Xiao Ya knew Su Zheng's character very well. Since Su Zheng had made his decision, there was no way to change it. So she could only nod and say, "Then be careful!"

Su Zheng: "Don't worry!"

After saying that, Su Zheng headed to the temporary airport in Dongling Village and prepared for voice-controlled combat.

Looking at Su Zheng's back, Xiao Ya could only pray for Su Zheng silently in her heart.

When He Wenjian learned that Su Zheng was going to fly a P51 Mustang fighter to engage in an air battle with the Japanese, he was very worried about Su Zheng. He volunteered to fight without fear of life and death, but was rejected by Su Zheng.

Because He Wenjian is not yet a qualified pilot.

time flies.

Around 2:10pm.

The Japanese fighter planes appeared in the sky outside Ping'an County.

buzzing...

Huhuhu......

The roar of engines rang out.

A group of bombers and fighter planes arrived in the airspace outside Ping'an County, making waves of roaring engine sounds.

This time, Yoshio Shinozuka and the old devil Okamura arranged a total of 15 fighter planes to support Ping'an County.

The 8 fighter planes were 2 Type 2 bombers, 3 Type medium bombers, Type heavy bombers and Zero fighters.

The Type 37 heavy bomber is a large red fighter aircraft manufactured by Mitsubishi Corporation based on the Junkers K twin-engine light bomber. It is an all-metal lower-wing aircraft.

In the early days of the Japanese invasion of China, the Type 93 heavy bomber was the main fighter-bomber of the Japanese bombers.

However, because it was developed at a relatively early time and was improved on the basis of imitation, the Type 93 heavy bomber also has many problems, such as low speed, low deployment rate and so on.

It can be said that although the Type 93 heavy bomber has a large bomb load, it is not a heavy bomber with very excellent performance.

It is fine to use it to bully anti-Japanese forces that have no air defense weapons and air superiority, but if you really encounter a force with air combat capabilities or air stay capabilities, the Type 93 heavy bomber will be a sitting duck.

九三式重型轰炸机最大速度是220千米/时；重量为8100千克；航程可以达到1100千米；乘员是4人；输出功率是2×691千瓦；载弹量达到了1000千克炸弹，另外还有三挺7.7毫米MG机枪用于自身防身。

As for the Type 99 bomber, Type 96 medium bomber and Zero fighter...the independent battalion had encountered them before.

This time, the Japanese urgently mobilized 15 fighter planes to reinforce Ping'an County. There were only three Zero fighter planes for escort, and the rest were bombers. It can be seen that their combat purpose was very simple, which was to bomb the independent battalion's position to death.

Soon, a group of Japanese bomber fighters appeared over the independent battalion's position and began to drop bombs one after another.

swish swish...  

Aerial bombs kept falling.

It landed on the independent battalion position outside the city, and immediately there was a deafening explosion.

Rumble...

Boom boom boom...

The fire suddenly appeared, very dazzling.

Puffs of smoke rose up.

The shock waves and air waves generated by the explosion continued to attack the surroundings.

At the same time, the shrapnel produced by the explosion is also very powerful.

The power of aerial bombs is very great.

Continuously bombing the position and the surrounding area.

Fortunately, Su Zheng knew in advance that the Japanese were going to launch an air raid, so he was prepared and evacuated most of the soldiers in the position in advance to avoid greater casualties.

At the same time, M134 Gatling machine guns, Type heavy machine guns, Type light machine guns and other machine guns mounted on the positions and around them opened fire at the Japanese fighter planes.

Da da da......

clap clap clap...

chug chu...

For a moment, the firepower was fierce, and flames continued to spurt out of the muzzles. They wanted to rely on dense anti-aircraft firepower to attack the Japanese fighter planes, but the effect was not very good.

It is very difficult to use machine guns for air defense in this battlefield.

The reason why the air defense firepower network of the Xinzhongcun base was effective was that the relevant air defense firepower points were deployed in advance at high altitudes, and the number was large and dense enough, giving it a great home advantage, which enabled it to shoot down the Japanese fighter planes many times.

But now we are fighting outside Ping'an County, which means we are definitely fighting away from home.

The positions, terrain and existing conditions at the scene make it impossible to build a dense air defense firepower network, so naturally the air defense effect will be much worse.

After all, light and heavy machine guns are not professional air defense weapons and cannot form a very good air defense effect.

When the light and heavy machine guns fired at the Japanese fighter planes, this also exposed the machine gun positions, so the Japanese bombers bombed these machine gun positions.

Rumble...

Rumble…

Under such fierce bombing, the anti-aircraft machine gun positions were constantly destroyed and the soldiers died heroically.

Seeing that the independent battalion had no way to stop their bombing, the Japanese pilots became even more unscrupulous and lowered their flying altitudes one after another.

This provided an opportunity for the independent battalion's machine gun air defense!

"Hit me!"

Light and heavy machine guns in the positions and on the commanding heights opened fire one after another.

Da da da......

chug chu...

clap clap clap...

These machine guns continuously spewed out tongues of flame, forming a dense firepower network, flying towards the Japanese bombers.

The Japanese bombers were relatively slow and could not rise in time, which directly resulted in the shooting down of a Type 99 light bomber and a Type 96 medium bomber.

Ordinary machine guns may not have much effect on these fighter planes, but the independent battalion’s M134 Gatling machine gun can still penetrate the fuselage of the Japanese fighter planes.

If you can hit the key parts of the aircraft, you can shoot it down.

Huhuhu......

Boom boom boom...

The two Japanese fighter planes exploded in the air instantly, and then turned into a fireball with black smoke and fell rapidly.

When the other Japanese fighter planes saw this situation, they felt that something was wrong and quickly increased their altitude.

Once the Japanese fighter planes gained altitude, light and heavy machine guns would have no way to deal with them.

The Japanese pilots had seen the power of the independent battalion's machine gun air defense, so they decided to carry out medium and high altitude bombing instead of low altitude bombing.

There are a total of 12 bombers. If all the bombers' shells could be poured onto the independent battalion's position, it would definitely cause a huge bombardment and sea of ​​fire.

enough!

However, they overlooked one thing, that is, the independent battalion also had fighter planes.

buzzing...

Huhuhu......

At this time, Su Zheng was flying a P51 Mustang fighter towards the Japanese fighter group.

high speed.

After locking onto a Type 96 medium bomber of the Japanese, Su Zheng directly pressed the fire button of the onboard machine gun.

Da da da......

chug chu...

For a moment, the onboard machine guns continuously spewed out tongues of flame, accurately hitting the Type 96 medium bomber in front.

Rumble...

Huhuhu......

In an instant, the Type 96 medium bomber exploded.

At the beginning, Su Zheng drove a P51 Mustang fighter to shoot down a Type medium bomber, achieving a good start.

After shooting down a Japanese bomber, Su Zheng quickly locked onto the Japanese Zero fighter.

Su Zheng knew very well that the only opponent of the P51 Mustang fighter in the air was the Zero fighter.

If the three Zero fighters were shot down, the other bombers would become sitting ducks.

Bombers are no match for fighters.

After locking onto a Zero fighter, Su Zheng quickly pressed the shooting button of the machine gun.

Da da da......

chug chu...
