Chapter 171, The principle of anti-aircraft guns hitting aircraft
At this time, along the Yuliao Highway, a team of trucks arrived, dragging four cannons.

"Hey, big guy, such a big gun! It must be the American howitzer that the brigade commander has talked about many times."

"It seems that the caliber is indeed, but I remember that it seems to be two doors. How did it become four doors, and it still looks like two?"

The onlookers saw Zhu Risheng getting off the car, "Hey, Chief of Staff Zhu, tell me!"

Staff Officer Cui, who came back together, gave him a look: You are the artillery staff officer, so the job of explaining is naturally up to you.

Staff Cui first went to the brigade commander to report, and Zhu Risheng explained to the melon-eating crowd around the cannon the difference between the American howitzer and the German anti-aircraft gun.

Especially when it came to shooting down three planes with anti-aircraft guns, everyone was amazed.

"Staff Zhu, from such a distance, how did the anti-aircraft artillery shoot down the plane? Does it have to hit the plane directly? That's too difficult!"

Most people don't have an idea of ​​how to shoot down a plane with an anti-aircraft gun.

They thought they had to hit a plane with a cannonball just like they would hit a target with a bullet.

Several thousand meters away, the speed of the plane is so fast, and the probability of directly hitting it with a shell is too small.

After listening to Yuan Lang's explanation, Staff Officer Zhu relayed to everyone: "That's not the case, the chance of the anti-aircraft artillery shells hitting the enemy plane is very small.
Usually it is detonated near the aircraft, and the shock wave generated by the explosion will cause fatal damage to the aircraft or the pilot, so as to achieve the purpose of shooting down the aircraft. "

There is a delay fuse inside the shell of the anti-aircraft gun, and there is a dial inside. This dial will default to the time when the fuse is detonated.

If you want to use anti-aircraft guns to shoot down the enemy's high-speed aircraft, you need the operator to have very high experience.

When they lock the enemy's aircraft, they need to judge the aircraft's flight trajectory, speed, altitude, distance and other factors, and then use it in conjunction with the lead wire inside the shell to predict the launch.

And to complete these calculations, it usually only takes a dozen seconds, otherwise it is very likely to miss the best shooting position, resulting in failure.

"Then this is too difficult! Ten seconds is so much time, I can't do it."

"I can't do it, we can't do it. Staff Zhu, who shot down three planes with anti-aircraft guns, that's amazing."

They would not think that Zhu Risheng has this ability, although he speaks clearly and logically.

"It was called by Consultant Yuan." Staff Officer Zhu glanced back, and was about to introduce Yuan Lang, but found that he was gone.

"Oh, it turned out to be him!"

There is no need for Zhu Risheng's introduction, Yuan Lang's name is already making cocoons in people's ears.

People were not so surprised when they heard that it was him.

They had heard too much about Yuan Lang's deeds, and they said that two days ago in Dongying Village, he killed thirty or forty little devils by himself.

Is that what ordinary people can do?

And who can get so many guns, ammunition, weapons, cannons, and military supplies.

Yuan Lang is very mysterious in their hearts, and it is not surprising that he can skillfully use anti-aircraft guns and shoot down three planes.

They just surrounded the two anti-aircraft guns, touching and looking at them in amazement.

The brigade commander of the command post was very surprised when he saw Yuan Lang coming: "Hey, the hero who shot down the plane is willing to come."

His attitude was extremely warm, the treatment Yuan Lang received from the brigade commander was not comparable to that of Li Yunlong.

After a while of greetings, Staff Officer Cui gave a detailed report on the situation.

Compared with the cavalry communicator, he was more like the eyes of the brigade commander, and he had a clearer and more detailed understanding of what happened in the new second regiment these days.

The brigade commander nodded frequently after hearing this, and finally said: "Li Yunlong has indeed brought out the new second regiment, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

However, the casualties were not small. Next, let their regiment retreat and take a good rest. "

After finishing the business, the brigade commander asked Yuan Lang why he came.

Are you tired from fighting and don't want to be with the combat troops?
Or is there something else?
Yuan Lang's arrival really surprised the brigade commander, he couldn't figure out Yuan Lang's pulse, let alone the roundworm in his stomach.

"That's right, the new second regiment is going to rest, and the next battle may need me more, so I'm here."

Yuan Lang's reasons are very bright and stalwart, and people can't help but respect them.

It was a surprise, and the brigade commander was very happy to hear that, "You came at the right time, and there is still a big battle to be fought, and it must be you."

The evaluation that must be done by you is a bit ridiculously high.

But it is indeed the brigade commander's sincere words.

To ambush the Japanese Yokono Wing, it can be expected that the Japanese air support will not be less.

The Eighth Route Army is currently extremely lacking in air-to-air capabilities. Even if it has anti-aircraft guns, it cannot be used without professional personnel.

Yuan Lang is indeed irreplaceable at this time, which is one of the reasons why he himself came here with the anti-aircraft artillery.

"Report."

An officer knocked on the door and walked in: "Brigade Commander, everything is packed."

The brigade commander stood up and said, "Let's go then."

Target, Ya Village.

……

Early in the morning, the First Army of the Japanese Army stationed in North China was at the base camp in Taiyuan.

An extremely bad news has spread, and everyone who hears it is extremely sad.

"The teaching brigade is gone. In the farewell telegram, the only remaining imperial army detonated a grenade and committed suicide."

"My God, it's over, it's over..."

The fall of Dongtuanbao and the destruction of the teaching brigade were no less than the fall of Yangquan, and far more shocking than the fall of Yushe by the Eighth Route.

There are more than 170 people in the teaching team of Dongtuanbao, all of whom are backbones and backbones.

Just fill in some new and old soldiers, and it can become two full-sized infantry brigades.

Recruits are easy to recruit, but veterans are hard to find.

The combat effectiveness of an army mainly depends on the backbone of veterans at the grassroots level.

As long as the backbone is still there, most of the combat power can be restored by recruiting new recruits.If the backbone is gone, double the number of recruits will be recruited, and the combat effectiveness will be pitifully weak.

The total sacrifice of the teaching brigade is equivalent to the loss of two infantry brigades.

For the th Independent Mixed Brigade, which had already suffered heavy losses, it was even worse.

"General."

Kazuki Yamamoto, who was standing outside Yoshio Shinozuka's office, respectfully greeted the person who came towards him.

Major General Hashimoto Gun, Chief of Staff of the First Army, a short old man with gray temples.

His voice was extremely loud: "How long has the commander been standing?"

"It's been two hours," Yamamoto replied.

Since the fall of the East Mission Fort and the news of the destruction of all members of the Teaching Brigade, Shinozuka Yoshio stood by the window, silently looking outside.

It seemed that the destruction of the teaching brigade had shocked him quite a bit.

Hashimoto Group's resonant voice seemed to startle him.Shinozuka Yoshio turned his head and glanced at them: "It's Hashimoto-kun! What's the matter?"

Qiao Benqun, chief of staff, stepped in and said in a loud voice, "Commander Hoshino from Liao County has sent a telegram.

The Shixia stronghold was captured by the Eighth Route Army. Only seven people broke through and escaped, and the remaining 47 people sacrificed their lives for the country.

It was the closest stronghold to Liao County, and it was said to be a surprise attack launched by the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

He believed that the Eighth Route Army would launch an attack on Liao County before reinforcements arrived.So call for help. "

The dead have passed away, and it is unqualified to indulge in sadness and grief. More attention should be paid to the living.

As expected, Shinozuka Yoshio's attention was diverted, he was talking about the stone box stronghold, and his eyes swept across the map.

"Where is Yokono-kun?"

"I have arrived at Maokou Village, and I expect to arrive in Liao County tonight." Qiao Benqun replied.

Shinozuka Yoshio's gaze drew a marching route on the map.

His brain is working.

Lieutenant Hoshino of Liao County is worried, but he has to prevent the Eight Routes from encircling the spot for help.

An infantry brigade, plus a regiment of the Imperial Association Army, the Eighth Route Army does not have such a big appetite.

But you have to be careful, the Eighth Route Army has done too many things in recent days, maybe it has such a big appetite!

The most important thing is that Liao County cannot afford to make mistakes.

As a nail inserted into the base of the Eighth Route Army, Shinozuka Yoshio did not allow him to fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army again.

As for the entire Yuliao front line, the strength of an infantry brigade has already lost more than half.

There can be no more losses.

After figuring it out, Shinozuka Yoshio immediately issued an order for the captain of the Yokono Alliance to speed up his pace to reinforce as soon as possible.

At the same time, you should also be careful to avoid falling into the ambush of the Eighth Route.

Chief of Staff Hashimoto Group brought bad news, but also good news.

Two brigades transferred from Hebei have entered Shanxi and are heading towards Datong.

"Hashimoto-kun, this is really good news for me to sit down and have a cup of tea."

Yoshio Shinozuka relaxed his brows, stomped on his slightly stiff legs, ordered someone to cut a pot of tea, and wanted to talk to Qiao Benqun in detail.

The troops dispatched from various places were gradually sufficient, so he didn't have to feel stretched like before.

In the Hundred Regiments War, the shame imposed on him by the Eighth Route Army finally ushered in the opportunity to wash away.

These days, statistics of casualties and losses everywhere made Yoshio Shinozuka frown.

But what made him even more stressed was the reprimand from the North China Front Army Command.

If he still can't do something, he, the commander of the first army, may be finished.
