Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 81 100mm Anti-aircraft Guns Achieve Success (Subscription Request)
At the same time, at a secret base on the southeast coast, the soldiers were excited and busy pulling the six anti-aircraft guns in front of them, which were slightly different from their big brother's KC-19M2 100mm anti-aircraft guns, back to the gun platform and hiding them.

"The higher-ups actually created Cassi 19?"

When the chief of the anti-aircraft artillery base received the order to receive a batch of new equipment, although he had some guesses, he couldn't help but smile when he saw the six anti-aircraft guns pointing toward the sky.

In January this year, we just recaptured the coastal islands in the east.

Although we won the battle, the other side was unwilling to accept defeat and launched a large-scale retaliatory bombing against us afterwards, which also caused us huge losses and seriously threatened the security of the southeast coast.

During this period, the enemy used the B17 bombers, which were about to be retired by the Eagle Sauce, for both bombing and reconnaissance.

The maximum altitude of this aircraft is 11000 meters, and the altitude during mission execution is over 8400 meters.

Although we have some Casillas supported by Big Brother, but faced with the air defense needs of millions of square kilometers, the support from Big Brother is just a drop in the bucket and will not be of much use.

Now, facing the retaliatory bombing from the opposite side, the only thing we can use to fight back, apart from the aircraft and anti-aircraft guns supported by Big Brother, is the 37mm anti-aircraft guns we just developed last year to carry out low-altitude harassment.

The 37mm anti-aircraft gun was originally scheduled to be equipped to the troops in the middle of this year, but due to the surge in steel production and the severe prevention and control situation, the authorities ordered the large-scale production of this artillery and its equipment to the troops at the beginning of this year.

However, the firing height of this anti-aircraft gun is only three thousand meters, and it is still helpless against enemy aircraft at an altitude of eight thousand meters.

Now, the big guy Cassi XIX, which can hit targets at an altitude of 10,000 meters, is also out.

"If the enemy dares to come today, we must give them a good beating."

Their base is located at the forefront of the confrontation, in one of the coastal provinces with the most developed industrial economy, and is also a key bombing target of the enemy.

During this period, they could only rely on the only Casillas XIX that was previously supported by Big Brother to make the enemy's aircraft cautious, but their weak firepower also made it impossible for them to do anything to the enemy.

It is said that the pilots of the opposing team were more afraid of death. Facing our low-altitude anti-aircraft firepower, they just hurriedly dropped their bombs at an altitude of 8,000 meters and left.

"Big Brother is really good to us. He has given us the technology of this big guy."

The chief of the base stroked the chassis of the 100mm anti-aircraft gun that had already entered the position and said with gratitude.

"Tsk!" His partner glanced at the leader with disdain: "Big Brother is not so open-hearted to us. This anti-aircraft gun was developed by our researchers themselves, without any help from Big Brother."

"Is this true?" The head of the base was in disbelief after hearing his partner's words. Haven't we always relied on Big Brother's support in industrial weapons? When will we be able to develop and produce such heavy equipment ourselves?

"Can I still deceive you?" The chief's partner also looked at the replica of Cassi 19 in front of him with a slightly excited expression.

"We originally requested Big Brother to support our artillery technology several years ago. However, Big Brother directly refused because the combat airspace of Big Brother's main fighter MiG-17 was also within the firing range of Cassi- at that time."

"Our own comrades are reliable. They have researched this thing themselves."

"After thinking about it, it turns out to be true. Big Brother is guarding against us." The head of the base thought for a while and finally understood.

"In the final analysis, we have to be strong ourselves..." The base commander was about to say something when suddenly a shrill air defense alarm sounded rapidly.

"Reporting to the two leaders, the radar has detected that two enemy planes have entered the radar detection range at ten o'clock in the southeast direction." After a while, a soldier ran over to report.

"They really don't take us seriously and just barge in so brazenly. It's just right that we should have some fun today. We must wait for them until their wings are broken!" "All units, prepare for battle, and take up the artillery positions immediately."

After giving the order, the two leaders also entered the command room.

The soldiers immediately entered the artillery position, quickly adjusted the gun positions, stared closely at the sky in the distance, and were ready to open fire at any time.

After a while, three small black dots slowly flew towards them from the sky.

When they entered the firing range of the 100mm anti-aircraft gun, they simply made an evasive action, and when they saw that there was no movement below, they continued to fly forward in a level flight posture.

At this moment, the leader immediately gave the order: "Fight!"

The six newly delivered anti-aircraft guns plus the existing one, a total of seven 100mm anti-aircraft guns opened fire instantly.

The shells flew towards the three enemy planes overhead like seven fire whips.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of artillery fire was incessant, and soon two enemy planes emitted black smoke and staggered like drunkards, as if they were about to fall from the sky at any moment.

As for the last remaining plane, after seeing that the situation was not good, it turned sideways to avoid the shells, hurriedly dropped the bombs it was carrying, and then flew south without looking back. After a while, it turned into a black dot.

"Damn it, they even let a plane escape. How did they fire this cannon?"

The chief looked at the fleeing plane through the telescope, slammed the table hard, and said unhappily.

"Haha..." His partner looked at him disdainfully and said, "Just be happy. Shooting down two enemy bombers at once is an amazing achievement in our history!"

"Haha..." Seeing that his thoughts were seen through, the leader could no longer hold back his joy and laughed: "The soldiers did a good job, let's celebrate for them."

Although the B17 could not match the later U2's achievement of one gold bean for one plane, shooting down two at one time is indeed an amazing achievement.

After a while, the two enemy planes emitting black smoke finally couldn't hold on any longer, and one of them rushed directly to the ground. After a while, a loud noise was heard in the distance.

As for the other plane, when it was about to lose control, a white parachute flew out of the plane. It was obvious that the pilot had completely given up struggling and parachuted out of the plane.

"Damn, this is a huge loss. There is only one pilot left."

The chief looked at the black smoke rising in the distance and said with regret.

"That's about it." His partner couldn't stand his greed and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

"How can it be almost the same? If we can capture both pilots alive, it would be a huge credit." The chief said with a look of regret.

Then he shouted, "Hurry up and get the ground troops out to find the parachuted pilot immediately. Don't let him get away, or there will be trouble again."

"Yes!"
