Chapter 388, Blind Fighting

"Baga, these army red deer don't understand the magical function of aircraft. Letting them command our air force is simply a waste."

Mizuya Zhangyi, who was driving the pilot plane, cursed unceremoniously, waking them up from their sleep, the army desperately needed support.

On the one hand, there is the inherent pride of the Air Force.

All their pilots are selected from among the best young people.

It takes a long time to train a pilot, and there are high requirements in terms of technology, and the salary can be compared with that of the navy, but far from that of the army.

On the other hand, it was because of this confused order.

The night is the enemy of the pilot, and it is very difficult to find the direction in the vast darkness.

If you are not careful, you will get lost and you will not be able to return to the airport. The result will be a forced landing or even a plane crash.

Shui Yezhangyi discovered just now that they had lost their way, and they found their way again by relying on the firelight illuminating the sky in the distance.

After taking a longer detour, the result is that the plane may not have enough fuel. He and the bombers behind must finish dropping the bombs and return home as soon as possible.

And wanting to drop a bomb on the target's head in the dark is no less than accurately throwing a stone into a water glass on a -story building.

Shui Yezhang looked through the window and looked at the fire in the city below: "Bastard, it's so dark, how do I know who the target is?!"

The plane flew through the sky, and the loud sound of the engine reminded the people below.

"The plane is coming, the plane is coming..."

"General General, our plane is here!"

The Japanese army, who had been suffocated all night in the city, looked up at the sky.

Although they couldn't see clearly at all, they still danced and cheered happily.

At this moment, only the planes of their Empire of Japan can soar in the sky of North China.

The arrival of the plane means that the enemy can also taste the feeling of being beaten but not fighting back.

This taste is not good!

Major General Maeda Jiro had a deep understanding, and a smile finally appeared on his face after a long night.

"Quickly, notify the three regiment leaders on the front line that the bomber is coming, immediately specify the target for it, and launch a counterattack against the enemy."

Chief Inobe, who was the first to receive the news, was overjoyed and wanted to dance to express his excitement.

Finally, he waited to come, and if he didn't come again, he didn't know what to do.

Hit, can't beat.Retire, also cannot retreat.

Now that the plane is here, there is a solution.

Commander Inobe ordered: "Quickly, turn on all the searchlights, and let me aim at the enemy's position."

To indicate the target for the aircraft in the dark, it is necessary to use high-power searchlights.

For this reason, several diesel generators were brought in to provide power for the searchlights.

After the order is passed on.

quickly,

The searchlight casts a circular beam, drawing a straight white line in the dark night.

Although it could not completely illuminate the positions of the Eighth Route Army, it was enough to point out the target for the pilots.

As soon as Shui Yezhang saw the target illuminated by the army's lights, he finally stopped his cursing, and led the seven bombers behind him to fly towards the target.

When bombers drop bombs at high altitude at night, the accuracy is several levels lower than during the day.

"The plane drops in altitude, 6000 meters, 5000 meters... 3000 meters, 2000 meters, ready to drop bombs at low altitude."

on the ground.

At first, Zhang Dabiao wondered, why did the devils get a few searchlights?
Lao Tzu's position is here aboveboard, you just illuminate it, dare to fight?
Zhang Dabiao suddenly realized when he heard the engine sound of the plane in the sky, and immediately shouted loudly: "It's the plane bombing, let me hide in the bomb defense hole."

After all, he also got into the hole.

Although the anti-bunker hole is simple to dig, it can resist small-caliber shells at most, and it will collapse if it is bombed by an airplane.

But it's better than being outside and facing the explosion of aerial bombs.

The former is easier to survive than the latter.

Ordinary soldiers hid in the anti-aircraft holes, but a group of special fighters had to face the enemy's planes.

The air defense company was set up by Yuan Lang alone. At the beginning, it was only equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns for land and air.

The effective shooting height is about 2000 meters, which is only useful for ultra-low-altitude targets.

Later, in order to further deal with the threat of Japanese aircraft, Yuan Lang obtained four Bofors mm anti-aircraft guns.

This gun was a very powerful anti-air weapon during the air defense operations of the navies of the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany in World War II.

When the Americans later responded to the suicide attacks of Japanese aircraft, this anti-aircraft gun played a very good effect.

At this time, the soldiers of the air defense company were very nervous, staring at the sky intently, listening to the sound of the huge engine of the plane, and judging the distance of the enemy from them.

"bomb."

Shui Yezhang ordered loudly.

The bomber in the middle of the belly opened the belly of the bomber and pushed the aerial bombs one by one down from the bombing port.

Bombers, like immoral birds, picked up feces in the air and flung them on the ground.

The rumbling explosion occurred in front of the front line.

Shui also gave the order early, but this is the limitation of bombing in the dark.

Then the flames ignited by the explosion, and the bright moonlight in the sky, made the silhouette of the plane faintly visible.

The air defense company commander shouted: "Hit me!"

For a time, more than 20 anti-aircraft machine guns fired together, and the four anti-aircraft guns also fired crossfire into the air.

A firepower net made of bullets appeared in the sky.

There is a tracer bullet in every five bullets, which adds a lot of brilliance to the night sky.

Bullets rattled through the plane, leaving bullet holes.

"Bastard, how come there is anti-aircraft fire?"

Shui Yezhang quickly raised the plane, in order to keep the plane away from the enemy's anti-aircraft fire.

The seven bombers behind him spotted the enemy anti-aircraft fire and made emergency evasive maneuvers.

Also without further ado, pull up the height to avoid the blow of the anti-aircraft fire below.

Although the sight of the aircraft is not good in the dark night, the sight of the enemy on the ground is also limited.

Like two blind men fighting, the net greets the air.

"Sir, there are still half of the aerial bombs that have not been dropped."

Shui Yezhangyi snapped back angrily: "Then throw it out now, we don't have enough aviation fuel to go around again."

Facts have proved that all eight bombers have made the same decision. In any case, the bombs were dropped first, which is an explanation.

As a result, there were very lively explosions on the ground, but few bombs were actually thrown to the place and had an effect.

Holding up his binoculars, Li Yunlong looked at the wasteland attacked by aerial bombs, turned his head and asked Yuan Lang beside him: "Is the kid blind?"

Yuan Lang put down the binoculars and said speechlessly: "Don't take them for fools, it is because of our anti-aircraft firepower that disrupted the plan of the little devil's plane and forced them not to drop bombs at low altitude.

Otherwise, even if it is dark night, bombs will definitely be dropped on our position. "

As for the hit rate of high-altitude bombing, he did not go to find out.

But as you can imagine, that is very low.

You can't even see where the enemy is, how can you recognize it accurately?

Is it by chance?
Li Yunlong didn't understand those things, but after thinking about Yuan Lang's words carefully, he still felt quite reasonable.

Just because the air defense company didn't shoot down the plane, we can't deny their achievements.

Nor can it be denied that the enemy is powerful just because the Japanese army did not drop the bomb accurately this time.

Usually the air defense company is very accurate, and the bombs thrown by the enemy planes are also very accurate.

This time, because of the darkness, the two sides played a - split, and neither of them won.

to the opposite.

At this moment, Inobe Colonel was so angry that he jumped.

How excited I was before, how annoyed I am now, it is still double.

"Bastards, the bastards of the air force, they are simply a bunch of young soldiers. When encountering the slightest difficulty, they will retreat.

Are they worthy of the cultivation of the empire, and are they worthy of the food they consume?These shameful bastards. "

Colonel Jingbian searched his guts, looking for swear words, and greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of the Air Force, as well as the female relatives within three generations.

After a long time, I was tired of cursing before I slowed down.

The staff officers around did not dare to take a breath. They actually agreed with the captain.

Originally, they were counting on the air force to help them bomb the enemy and create opportunities to come back.

Who would have thought that these guys have silver guns and wax heads, but they are not useful.

A little anti-aircraft machine gun blocked it, so it didn't dare to bomb at low altitude.

The bomb was dropped at grandma's house, who are you fooling?

Going to the grave and burning newspapers to paste... What a ghost!

bang bang bang...

Accompanied by the deep sound of anti-aircraft guns, the searchlights that emitted beams were all smashed,

Even the surrounding soldiers were also affected, causing many casualties.

This reminded everyone.

Eight Routes are still on the opposite side, the battle is not over yet, and now is not the time to crusade against the ineffectiveness of the Air Force.

The chief of staff of the wing said: "Commander, we can't retreat in a big way at this time, but we can send one or two squadrons to continue to harass the enemy until dawn."

"Then what if the enemy's artillery fires at our army again?"

Inobe Colonel asked hesitantly.

He didn't want another wave of shells, either his subordinates would suffer heavy casualties, or more likely, he would die as well.

Either way, he couldn't accept it.

The staff officers of the alliance next to him nodded approvingly.

They were really terrified of being bombed by 150mm caliber grenades.

With one shot, anyone within a radius of ten meters will surely die.Basically a minced meat treat.

Within a radius of 20 meters, even if you don't die, you will be disabled.Possibly missing arms and legs.

Within a radius of 100 meters, there is a high probability of being killed by explosive fragments.

The point is that the enemy's artillery shells come one hundred rounds at a time, even if they have two lives, they can't hold them back.

The chief of staff of the wing did not despise the cowardice of everyone, anyone would be afraid in such a situation.

He just had some analysis and a little courage in his heart.

"Boss, just now the plane dropped the bomb at high altitude, but didn't drop the bomb on the enemy's position. I just realized that the dark night is not only the enemy's cover, but also our cover."

He believed that one should not be deceived by the illusion of repeated accurate hits by enemy artillery.

In the city, as the headquarters of the command, the station of the artillery wing, and the railway station.

The coordinates of those three places are all dead. As long as the enemy's artillery gets the coordinates in advance, they will basically not miss them.

But in the wild it's different.

They were hit by the enemy's artillery just now because they actively attacked the enemy's position and were exposed to their vision.

In addition, the th Infantry Battalion was hit by the enemy, not their wing headquarters.

This has already explained the problem.

As long as the enemy cannot judge the position of their troops, it is impossible to shoot precious large-caliber shells without sight.

Chief Inobe let out a long sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "So that's how it is."

He was stunned by the beating, and then stunned by anger, without any logic in thinking about it.

It's just that the troops have never attacked the enemy's position, and the enemy has never attacked him, which gave him an illusion.

If you don't hit the enemy, you won't be hit.

It turned out that the enemy did not find them and was unwilling to waste large-caliber shells.

Colonel Inobe suddenly thought: "That is to say, once it is dawn and the enemy finds us, they may use large-caliber artillery shells again?"

Speaking of this conjecture, he trembled all over, his legs went limp and he almost collapsed.

At that time, wouldn't he be aiming at his wing headquarters to fight?
"Your Excellency, you are right, there is indeed such a possibility."

The personal confirmation of the chief of staff of the wing made everyone in the headquarters almost panic.

A staff officer even gave a weak suggestion: "Sir, can we retreat to avoid the enemy's direct sight and prevent the enemy from bombarding our headquarters?"

"It makes sense, Yoshida-kun, what do you think?"

Colonel Jingbian agreed very happily, and at the same time he did not forget to drag the chief of staff into the water.

In case the higher-ups blamed it, there would still be someone to share the responsibility.

The chief of staff was completely speechless, he rubbed his forehead: "General, at dawn, the enemy will be surrounded by us in all directions in the field, cutting off their supply lines.

It is impossible for them to hoard a large amount of shells, let alone bayonet the cannon.

Therefore, this heavy howitzer regiment must be withdrawn before dawn, otherwise it will only become a piece of fat for us.

If the enemy is really so stupid, I will be lucky instead. "

His meaning was very clear, the enemy would definitely leave with one shot, and would not entangle with them here.

There is no need to worry about being bombarded by the heavy howitzer regiment after dawn.

This analysis and conclusion gave Colonel Inobe a little confidence.

He immediately changed his face and said impassionedly: "Yes, we must not let the enemy go.

Send a squadron from the th Infantry Battalion, entangle the enemy with small-scale probing, hold on till dawn, victory is ours. "

"Hi!"

Many officers also cooperated with each other.

The analysis and judgment of the chief of staff of the wing immediately filled them with confidence.

They feel that as long as they don't get bombed, it's fine.

As for the Sixth Infantry Battalion, which squadron will die has little to do with them.

Anyway, they are all dedicated to the empire, low-level officers and soldiers at the bottom,
What is the difference between dying one day earlier and dying one day later?
