"discharge!"
"Quick! Quick! Quick!"
A mediocre transport ship brought the 37mm anti-aircraft gun.
But there are only twelve doors. This is the limit of what the system can provide.
There are a lot of cannonballs. A boat full of them.
Organize personnel transportation.
Quickly deploy positions.
It's still the same as before. A group of three doors, forming a "pin" shape.
Unified command.
Unified shooting.
Zhang Yong personally commanded one of the groups.
The other three groups are also nearby. When necessary, he can command each group.
30 kilometers…
10 kilometers…
The Japanese planes were approaching fiercely.
It's a crazy attack.
"Chi chi chi..."
"Chi chi chi..."
The aviation machine gun took the lead.
This Type 96 land-based attack aircraft is equipped with three 7.7mm machine guns.
Although the caliber is not large, it still has great lethality when shot from high altitude and the bullets fall in a parabola.
"Puff puff puff..."
"Puff puff puff..."
The ground was filled with dust. Bullets were flying wildly.
Accidentally, someone was hit. Blood and flesh spattered. Some of them died on the spot.
Vaguely, Zhang Yong saw that it seemed that Lei Xinghu had been hit. However, he could not be sure for the time being.
Assisted aiming.
Lock onto an incoming enemy aircraft.
"Height 47!"
"Direction 065!"
Zhang Yong reported the data.
The twin 37mm anti-aircraft guns were quickly adjusted.
"put!"
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The muzzle spurted out fierce flames.
A string of cannonballs circled fiercely towards the target.
Soon, the target pulled out long black smoke.
Hit. First hit.
"mock up……"
The corners of Zhang Yong's mouth turned up slightly.
Come on!
Come if you are not afraid of death!
He watched coldly as the Japanese bombers struggled in the air.
hehe……
Still want to rescue?
Do you have that ability?
After being hit by a Sanqi anti-aircraft gun, is there any chance of rescue?
childish……
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
The Japanese bomber suddenly hit the ground hard.
Grass……
What to do?
Turn back quickly.
It was discovered that the Japanese bombers were going to hit the position of the 10th Artillery Regiment.
Those 150mm howitzers, when viewed from a high altitude angle, are almost undisguised. They are very obvious and can be seen at a glance.
Damn Japanese invaders!
Do you want to die with the howitzer?
Do you want to be so brave...
If I had known earlier, I would have continued to fire and shot it down completely.
It was too late to say anything now. I could only watch helplessly as the Japanese plane hit me. Fortunately, it did not hit me in the end.
An out-of-control airplane cannot be controlled so precisely.
It hit the ground and turned into a ball of fire. It was more than a hundred meters away.
"Rumble..."
Violent explosion.
The Japanese aircraft were completely destroyed.
Zhang Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But his nerves quickly became tense again. He had already sensed the madness of the Japanese invaders.
In one sentence, the Japanese pilots would blow up the howitzers of the Chinese army even if they died. The pressure immediately increased.
Sure enough, the ensuing battle directly entered a fever pitch.
"call!"
"call!"
The Japanese aircraft swooped down from high altitude.
What they were focusing on were indeed howitzers.
There is no way to hide a large-caliber howitzer. Planes can easily identify it at high altitudes.
"call!"
"call!"
Aerial bombs fell heavily one after another.
All fell on the position of the 10th Artillery Regiment. The bombs were dropped very accurately.
"boom……"
"boom……"
Violent explosion.
A howitzer was seen destroyed with the naked eye.
The gun mount broke on the spot. The gun barrel fell heavily to the ground. The gunner suffered all casualties.
It is judged that they are all 200 kilograms of aerial bombs. They are full of destructive power.
Within a range of tens of meters, it can cause fatal damage to the howitzer, let alone the gunner.
Oh, forget it.
The Japanese invaders were so crazy when they got on the plane.
Judging from their actions, it was obvious that they had received a death order. They must blow up the heavy artillery of the national army.
If you can't complete the task, you probably don't have to go back.
Therefore, the Japanese aircraft dived desperately without any hesitation.
As a result, it was Zhang Yong's turn to be difficult to deal with. The artillery fire he could control alone was limited.
No matter who it is, once they become crazy, their combat effectiveness will be doubled.
"boom……"
"boom……"
There were continuous explosions again.
Another howitzer was destroyed. The gunner also suffered heavy casualties.
Well……
Sure enough, it's coming in a menacing way. The one who comes is not evil!
"Height 77!"
"Direction 256!"
Target the second Japanese aircraft.
The target is diving fiercely.
Also swooping down at the same time were other Japanese aircraft.
The Japanese Type 96 land-based attack aircraft that attacked this time had different bombs than before.
All of them carry four 200kg aerial bombs.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Six muzzles ejected flames at the same time.
Six strings of artillery shells burst out towards the target, enveloping the target.
Soon, a long line of black smoke pulled out of the sky.
Obviously, the Japanese aircraft was hit.
good!
good!
Hit another one!
I think you are fierce!
I'll make you fierce!
Have the ability...
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
Seeing the Japanese aircraft being hit, it actually accelerated and then crashed hard into the ground.
Subsequently, a howitzer was hit.
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
A violent explosion covered everything.
The Japanese aircraft are definitely gone, and so are the howitzers.
Including the Japanese pilots and the howitzer artillery, they were all gone. All that was left on the scene was scorched black.
Grass……
Zhang Yong was a little confused.
No. Do you want to be so cruel?
Are you going to play kamikaze as soon as you come up? It’s only 1937!
You committed suicide just now. Now are you doing it again?
What a hell today.
The battle had just begun, and the 10th Artillery Regiment suffered heavy losses.
Just after the encounter, four howitzers were lost.
Mud...
I used to think that the Japanese Navy Red Deer were not as crazy as the Army Red Deer.
Now I find that this is completely wrong.
As long as they are Japanese invaders, they are crazy.
Each one of them didn't take their own lives seriously.
To actually use land-based bombers and howitzers to kill each other, is this something a human being can do?
How much does a Type 96 land-based attack aircraft cost?
How much does a 150mm howitzer cost?
It seems like the Japanese invaders suffered a huge loss...
but!
The Japanese invaders' aircraft losses can be replenished.
However, there is no way to replace the losses of the national army's 150mm howitzers.
This is the fundamental difference.
Therefore, the Japanese invaders went crazy.
No matter what the cost, these howitzers must be killed.
Grass……
However, the more uncomfortable thing is yet to come.
During the fierce battle, the air command map prompted another Japanese aircraft to appear due east.
A quick check revealed that there were eighteen more.
They are all Type 96 bombers.
Grass……
besides?
Do you want to keep going like this?
Damn, airplanes are amazing.
but……
There are so many planes, which is really amazing.
If Zhang Yong had 100,000 J-16s, he would be more arrogant than the Zenith Stars.
It's a pity that there is no...
I can only hold it in...
A moment later, the air map indicated that another Japanese plane appeared in the direction of Hangzhou.
They are also Type 96 land-based bombers. There are also eighteen aircraft.
Zhang Yong:……
My grass.
This one is a big deal.
The 10th Artillery Regiment really touched the heart of the Japanese invaders.
Actually, so many planes were dispatched to attack desperately. And they were all from the Navy Red Deer.
No, what are you Navy Red Deers doing so actively?
All I bombed were Army Red Deer...
However, resentment is of no use.
Japanese aircraft continued to arrive, and it was obvious that they would not give up until the 10th Artillery Regiment was killed.
Whatever!
Just come!
Who is afraid of whom!
"Takahiro!"
"arrive!"
"Shot all the cannonballs!"
"ah?"
"Repeat bombardment back and forth at the place where we were bombarded before! Until all the shells are used up!"
"Commissioner..."
Takahiro immediately realized the danger.
This requires hard work!
Use all the artillery shells and never leave them to the enemy!
Doesn't that mean that the last time for the 10th Artillery Regiment has come?
The Tenth Artillery Regiment...
They are all 150mm howitzers!
The only remaining howitzer! It seems that it cannot be saved.
"Commissioner..."
"More Japanese planes are arriving."
"Understood."
Gao Hong nodded.
Send someone to inform the regiment leader Peng Mengji.
Right now we are being attacked by so many Japanese aircraft, and we have suffered heavy losses.
If more Japanese aircraft arrive, the 10th Artillery Regiment will be finished.
"Commissioner..."
"Save as many people as possible."
"us……"
"Save the men! We'll have new howitzers soon!"
"real?"
"certainly!"
Zhang Yong answered affirmatively.
In fact, he didn't know whether there would be new howitzers in the future.
I don’t know if there is one in Su Yuan.
If we had to wait for U.S. aid, we would have to wait until 1942.
A full five years later!
A very long time.
However, at this moment, it is of course impossible to say no.
Even if it is a white lie, it must be said.
If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. What if one day the tank factory suddenly can provide howitzers?
Maybe the system suddenly goes crazy and even has a 155 self-propelled howitzer?
"knew."
"Order the cars and logistics to go first!"
"yes!"
Peng Mengji agreed.
Immediately order all non-combatants to evacuate.
Especially those trucks that pull cannons, they are also treasures. If they are blown up, it will be difficult to replace them.
All heavy-duty trucks need to be imported.
At present, the heavy howitzer cannot be moved. But the car can.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Here, the anti-aircraft artillery regiment continues to fight.
A dazzling fire broke out in the sky. A Japanese aircraft exploded in the sky.
The wreckage fell gorgeously from the sky with fireworks.
There is no chance of hitting the ground again.
However……
"boom……"
"boom……"
The deafening explosions continued.
Two more howitzers were damaged and could no longer fire.
It was not completely damaged. It just blew up a certain component, causing it to temporarily lose its function.
what to do?
Keep fighting.
Japanese aircraft dive bombed.
Anti-aircraft guns firing in the air.
Howitzers were bombarding the south bank.
Busy……
Everyone has his own life.
From time to time, Japanese aircraft were shot down...
From time to time, anti-aircraft guns were destroyed...
From time to time, howitzers were blown to pieces...
That's how fighting is.
Both sides are spending money.
Equipment consumption.
Personnel consumption.
What the Nationalist army lost was heavy artillery.
What the Japanese invaders lost was the plane.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Zhang Yong had no worries in his heart.
Didn't think about anything else.
Just one word:
beat!
Fight until the Japanese aircraft retreat.
Or shoot them all down.
The Type 96 land-based attack aircraft was the Japanese navy's Red Deer bomber with the longest range and the largest payload, and its cost was also extremely high.
Since the Japanese invaders were willing to exchange them for these 150mm howitzers, Zhang Yong did not feel that he was at a disadvantage.
In fact, as the national army continues to retreat to the west, those 150mm howitzers can play less and less roles.
The west is full of mountainous areas, making it difficult for heavy artillery to operate.
In the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Shanggao, the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, Kunlun Pass, etc., heavy howitzers were not used.
They are all mountainous operations. The 75mm mountain cannon plays the leading role.
It is also difficult for the Japanese invaders' 105mm heavy cannon to enter the battlefield.
Without heavy artillery cover, the Japanese invaders were finally unable to crush the Chinese army in terms of firepower.
Fighting...
continue……
Smoke filled the air.
"Report! The shells have been fired!"
"withdraw!"
"Commissioner..."
"This is a written order signed by me. I order you to immediately abandon your heavy artillery, save your personnel, and evacuate the battlefield!"
"Commissioner..."
"Execute the order!"
"yes!"
Peng Mengji received the written order.
Gritting his teeth, he quickly retreated with the remaining personnel.
Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
Keep up the good work!
A ball of fire broke out in the sky again. Another Japanese aircraft exploded in the sky.
Which Japanese aircraft is this?
have no idea.
Forgot.
Is it possible to exchange a howitzer for a Japanese aircraft?
Oh, the air map shows that there are nine enemy planes in the sky.
eighteen……
Nine……
Oh, nine were shot down?
Haha. The record is not bad! I can win another National Guangguang Medal...
If medals could be issued repeatedly...
"Lei Xinghu..."
Zhang Yong shouted.
The result was no response.
A heart sank.
Did Lei Xinghu die?
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Where's Captain Lei?"
"Reporting to the commissioner, Captain Lei was seriously injured and was carried down for treatment."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong looked numb.
Sure enough, what I saw before was true. Lei Xinghu was really injured.
Fortunately. He was only injured and did not die for his country.
However, serious injury...
well……
Facing the crazy strafing by Japanese aircraft, the anti-aircraft artillery regiment actually made great sacrifices.
While the howitzers were destroyed, a large number of anti-aircraft guns were also destroyed. The loss of personnel was estimated to be several hundred people.
In front of the aircraft, all ground firepower is a vulnerable group!
what to do?
Just keep fighting.
Until the Japanese invaders plane left.
Or die in battle yourself.
People, it’s actually easy to get hot-headed.
He has always felt that he is cowardly, timid and cowardly.
However, when you get to the battlefield, once the fighting starts, you immediately attack. Put aside all the greed for life and fear of death. All you can think about is doing it.
For example, at this moment, instead of being afraid, he was worried that the Japanese invaders plane had escaped.
What the hell. As long as the Japanese planes don't escape, he will fight to the death with the other side until one side can't bear it anymore.
"Click..."
"Click..."
Vaguely, I seemed to hear the sound of a camera shutter.
Huh?
What's going on?
Who is taking the photo?
Taking pictures at this time?
Are you sick?
I turned around and saw that it was a female reporter.
I have no impression. I don’t know who it is. I don’t know why the other person is so brave and dares to come here to take pictures.
The only thing that is certain is that the other party is not afraid of death.
By the way, the journalism industry is really complicated. For first-hand information, you may even risk your life.
Ignore.
Continue to direct the battle.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The artillery fire turned the sky red.
The Japanese invaders went crazy.
The anti-aircraft guns are also crazy.
"Commissioner, we are here to help you!"
Someone rushed up. It was not a soldier from the anti-aircraft artillery regiment.
In his head-scratching state, Zhang Yong couldn't remember who the other party was.
The other party did not continue to explain. Instead, they braved artillery fire and were about to carry ammunition, carry the wounded, and transfer the bodies of the martyrs.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Anti-aircraft fire continued fiercely.
Another Japanese aircraft was shot down and hit the ground hard.
Of course, the howitzer was not hit.
However, howitzer losses continued.
Three doors...
Two doors...
finally……
The last howitzer was destroyed...
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
The howitzer was completely blown to pieces and was completely gone.
At this point, all twelve howitzers that Zhang Yong once owned were lost.
well……
The end of an era!
From now on, it is estimated that there will be no chance to use the howitzer for a long time.
[Chariot factory construction progress 5%]
The system suddenly sent a prompt.
Zhang Yong:???
Feeling refreshed.
Is the tank factory making progress again?
What new weapons are there? Is there a 75mm Italian cannon?
Check quickly.
Found no.
No new weapons are provided.
The largest caliber weapon is still the 37mm twin anti-aircraft gun.
Well……
Bai was happy.
But, after all, there is a little more hope.
5% don’t have it. Maybe 10% have it? Hope must be there. What if it comes true?
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The anti-aircraft guns continued to fire. Strings of shells shot into the air.
However, Zhang Yong unexpectedly discovered that the Japanese aircraft actually retreated. The remaining Japanese aircraft actually ran away.
There are still five Japanese aircraft left. They have begun to leave the battlefield.
Huh? There are five left?
That means shooting down thirteen aircraft?
Not a loss...
Twelve howitzers were exchanged for thirteen Japanese aircraft...
Not a loss...
real.
Where were the other Japanese aircraft?
I found that they were also starting to return, flying towards Shanghai Longhua Airport.
ah……
The battle is over.
Enemy situation is lifted.
My whole body went limp.
The whole person was paralyzed on the ground.
[To be continued]
Chapter completed!
