You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

With Li Yunlong's order to fire, all 12 85mm anti-aircraft guns opened fire simultaneously!

next moment--

"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump—!!!"

The twelve 85mm anti-aircraft guns roared almost simultaneously!

The muzzle brake spewed out a huge burst of flame and thick smoke, and the enormous recoil caused the heavy cannon to lurch backward!

Twelve long, slender 85mm anti-aircraft shells equipped with proximity fuses roared toward the Japanese bombers.

However, just as the shells were rapidly approaching the formation of aircraft—

A bizarre and shocking scene unfolded!

Unlike conventional anti-aircraft artillery fire, which needs to hit directly or explode at a predetermined point, those shells seemed to be triggered by an invisible force when they were still tens of meters away from the aircraft.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!"

Huge fireballs suddenly exploded without warning in the formation of Japanese aircraft!

The large amount of high explosives loaded inside the 85mm anti-aircraft shell was perfectly detonated by the proximity fuse at this moment.

Thousands of pre-made fragments, centered on the explosion point, form an absolute death zone with a radius of over fifty meters!

At this moment, the Japanese pilots in the sky were still immersed in the excitement and contempt before their dive-bombing.

Futo Kobayashi had even placed his hand on the bomb release button, calculating where to drop the first wave of bombs for a more spectacular effect.

They had no idea what they were about to face, or rather, they didn't think those "country bumpkins" on the ground posed any threat.

"Baka! What's that?"

The Japanese pilot only had time to let out half a scream of terror before his plane was completely engulfed by the shrapnel storm!

"Baka! It's artillery fire?! How is that possible..."

Kobayashi Futo was completely stunned!

He instinctively tried to pull the control stick to avoid it, but it was too late!

"BOOM—!!!"

A fireball suddenly erupted less than 20 meters to the left of his plane!

The violent shockwave instantly threw the plane off balance, and then countless high-speed fragments tore through the wings and fuselage as easily as a hot knife through butter!

The next second, the entire plane turned into a fiercely burning fireball in mid-air!

One, two, three...

A full ten!

In this death zone woven by twelve proximity bombs, they were all destroyed!

Everything happened so fast!

Almost in an instant!

The Japanese didn't even have time to drop the bombs!

The ten-ton aerial bombs they had prepared to drop on Yangcun have now become sacrificial offerings for their own demise!

Ten bombers, all in perfect formation, not one missing, were all blown to pieces in less than a few seconds.

Twelve shells shot down ten enemy planes!

The hit rate is as high as 120%!

However, this is not the end!

The ten tons of munitions detonated continuously at low altitude, and the resulting superimposed shock waves crashed to the ground!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Even though it was thousands of meters away, the loose soil on the ground was shaken and jumped high into the air.

Many soldiers were blown backward, their ears ringing, and they temporarily lost their hearing!

However, everyone stared blankly at the sky!

Even though the shockwave stung my cheeks!

Li Yunlong grinned widely, his mouth agape.

They were completely unaware that even some sand had gotten inside.

He stared blankly at the ten wisps of black smoke in the sky that hadn't completely dissipated, only one thought running through his mind:

Ten!

A single salvo! Ten Japanese bombers! They were all shot down?!

Is this fucking real?

Could it be a hallucination before death?

On the other side, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, and the others were not much better off.

Everyone was stunned. The shock of what they saw was greater than that of ten tons of explosives!

The brigade commander, who was watching from the rear, completely lost his composure at this moment.

Ten!

A full ten bombers!

Their entire 386th Brigade, from its establishment to the present, has experienced countless battles, large and small, and killed thousands of Japanese soldiers, but did they shoot down more than ten Japanese planes?

You could probably count them on your fingers!

But today, right before his eyes, in that brief moment, ten heavy bombers, symbolizing the Japanese's absolute air superiority, were wiped out so easily, like swatting flies!

This victory, once it gets out, is enough to shake the entire World War II zone!

No, it shook the entire Chinese battlefield!

This is not an exaggeration at all!

In those days, shooting down any Japanese plane was a major achievement!

The brigade commander turned his head and looked intently at Shen Wang.

Is this... the power of a proximity fuse?

Shen Wang was actually a little confused at this moment.

He knew the proximity fuse was powerful, but he didn't expect it to be this effective—a single salvo wiped out an entire flight squadron!

He touched his chin and thought about it carefully.

"Brigade Commander, the reason we achieved such a victory this time is largely due to the Japanese being too arrogant and careless, and flying at too low an altitude!"

At a height of over a thousand meters, even a rifle could potentially shoot it down!

"If the Japanese had increased their flight altitude to three or four thousand meters, the shells would have taken longer to fly and become more difficult to aim, and it would have been hard to achieve such a terrifying hit rate as we have today."

The brigade commander came to his senses and realized that what Shen Wang said was indeed reasonable.

"Mr. Shen is right! The Japanese aren't stupid; they'll definitely learn their lesson, but—"

Even so, this near-detonation fuse is truly remarkable!

"It has also completely changed the mode of air defense operations! It has transformed shooting down enemy aircraft from a low-probability event into a predictable and organized tactical operation! This...this is of paramount importance!"

The brigade commander's heart was pounding.

He instantly realized that the strategic value of this disruptive technology was probably even greater than that of the incredible 107 Fire!

If the Eighth Route Army had equipped itself with more anti-aircraft battalions like these and established an effective regional air defense network, would the Japanese planes still dare to straf and bomb so arrogantly?

At that time, the Eighth Route Army's room for maneuver and initiative will be significantly enhanced!

As for the Japanese ground forces' offensive—

There were over 2000 machine guns, 14 invincible heavy tanks, and 20 107mm guns...

They may struggle offensively, but their defense is more than enough!

That's enough to establish a base!

At this moment, the brigade commander thought of the arsenal that Shen Wang had brought with him...

"hiss--!"

Could this young man have taken all of this into account?

To establish an arsenal, a stable base is needed, and to have a stable base, it is necessary to defend against the Japanese invasion!

Whether the attack comes from the sky or from the ground!

In the past, the Eighth Route Army really couldn't have done that!

But now...

The brigade commander's heart was burning with passion!

However, after the initial excitement, the brigade commander was immediately faced with a dilemma!

Previously, those fourteen tanks alone had almost emptied the headquarters of all available working capital and previously captured antiques.

Now that Shen Wang has brought such incredible technology, what can they offer in exchange?

107mm guns, proximity anti-aircraft guns, three anti-aircraft battalions, two artillery battalions, four infantry battalions, more than two thousand Type 56 assault rifles, hundreds of light machine guns, and that strategic-level arsenal...

"No, we must contact headquarters!"
