Chapter 258 This new type of shell is really fucking useful. It’s a great start right after the batt
Lin Zhenhua was making the final adjustments before the decisive battle. As he intentionally opened a gap, the Japanese bombers came in one after another and were falling into the trap he had set. This finally made Lin Zhenhua feel at ease, thinking that his previous sacrifices and efforts were not in vain.
When all 24 Japanese bombers entered the encirclement, Lin Zhenhua shouted excitedly: "All anti-aircraft gun positions must be equipped with new shells, shoot down the Japanese fighter planes, and the anti-aircraft rockets must immediately adjust the firing angle and wait for the order to fire!"
Li Yunlong immediately took the loud speaker in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, immediately replace the new artillery shells. The first company is responsible for the inner circle, the second company is responsible for preventing the Japanese fighter planes from escaping, and the third company is responsible for suppressing the Japanese fighter planes. Beat them all hard and knock down all the damn Japanese bombers!"
As the order for the decisive air defense battle was issued, the soldiers immediately began to replace the new artillery shells. One minute later, the new artillery shells began to roar into the sky. After only two minutes, the new artillery shells achieved results. A Type 96 bomber was directly hit and exploded in mid-air. None of the Japanese pilots on board survived.
The new artillery shells got off to a good start, which boosted the soldiers' confidence. As more and more new artillery shells were fired, the results achieved became even more gratifying. Five minutes later, two Type 96 bombers were shot down again.
After seeing the power of the new shells, Li Yunlong couldn't help but sigh: "College student, this radio-assisted shell is really damn useful. In less than ten minutes, we have already shot down three Japanese bombers!"
A loud bang interrupted Li Yunlong's words, and another Japanese Type 96 bomber was shot down. Lin Zhenhua also decided to seize this favorable opportunity to quickly expand the results of the battle. He gave an anxious order: "Notify the anti-aircraft rocket company to immediately launch a round of salvos. According to my visual observation, the Japanese bomber is about 3,000 meters high. This time we will get rid of the annoying flies first, and let the anti-aircraft rocket company and the third company join forces to defend at low altitude, and let the first and second companies bombard the Japanese bomber with all their strength, so as to achieve greater results!"
Li Yunlong did not expect Lin Zhenhua to change the previous battle plan, and he did not object to this, and immediately passed the order down. After receiving the order, the anti-aircraft rocket order was immediately ignited and launched. 60 rockets exploded in the air. The results were not as good as expected, but three Japanese fighters were shot down, including a Type dive bomber and two Zero fighters!
The Japanese Type 96 bombers always flew at an altitude of 3,000 to 4,000 meters, which was completely beyond the range of anti-aircraft rockets. Otherwise, using anti-aircraft rockets to deal with them would definitely be very effective. Another reason is that the power of anti-aircraft rockets is not as great as imagined. In order to make the rockets fly higher, the warhead is made very small, and its power is about the same as that of a mortar shell, but it is loaded with a large number of iron beads, which are scattered over a very large area, and the lethality is still amazing.
Major General Fujita knew that he had been tricked by Lin Zhenhua this time, so he immediately ordered the bomber group to flee quickly. He also gave a death order to Colonel Sasaki, requiring him to cover the bomber group and leave the battlefield as soon as possible!
"Baga Yalu! This is all a trap. No wonder our losses were so small at the beginning. We fought for so long but didn't lose much. This is all a trap set by the enemy. The Chinese commander on the opposite side is really patient. This time we have met a real opponent. We must evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"
However, they could not retreat at all now. With the anti-aircraft firepower of two companies all aimed at the bomber groups in the sky, the Japanese bombers were shot down one by one like dumplings. Bombers were not as flexible as fighters. After half an hour of fighting, a total of ten Type 96 bombers were shot down.
As the stalemate between the two sides lasted longer and longer, the bomber became more and more dangerous. Major General Fujita could only ask for help from Ichiro Katayama. He no longer had any hope in Colonel Sasaki. Just now, the fighter brigade had lost another fighter, and they could hardly save themselves. Expecting them to rescue him was harder than climbing to the sky!
After receiving the telegram for help from Major General Fujita, Ichiro Katayama did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. The reason why he was able to suppress the Independent Regiment was because he had the help of the air force. Once the air force was completely destroyed, he would have no choice but to retreat. However, this road was also a dead end for him. The headquarters gave him a death order, requiring him to break into the base of the Independent Regiment.
"Hatoyama, immediately mobilize all our troops to push forward. We will not leave any reserves in this battle. We must capture Xiaoyunling position at all costs. Major General Fujita just sent me a telegram for help, asking us to break through Xiaoyunling position. You should understand the weight of this telegram for help. We have lost the bargaining chip to continue the stalemate. We can only go all out for a decisive battle. As long as we can occupy Xiaoyunling position, things will turn around!"
There is already a problem with Ichiro Katayama's thinking, which shows how anxious he is now. Junichiro Hatoyama understands the hidden meaning in Ichiro Katayama's words. They have reached the moment of a do-or-die battle.
Under the command of Katayama Ichiro, the Japanese infantry launched a desperate charge, and the Japanese artillery also moved forward with artillery to provide artillery support for the infantry's charge. At this time, they had no way to retreat, and the decisive battle of the air defense position was in full swing. The decisive battle of the Xiaoyunling position also really kicked off at this time.
Seeing the Japanese soldiers rushing up with roars, Kong Jie and Ding Wei had no time to watch the show any longer. They directly mobilized the reserve troops. This time it was a real decisive battle. If they could not hold the Xiaoyunling position, even if Li Yunlong won the air defense battle, it would be of no avail. For a moment, the pressure on the two of them doubled!
"Captain Wang, increase the intensity of the artillery fire. We must suppress the enemy's artillery fire! Lao Kong, be careful of the traps in the fortifications. What is this guy Li Yunlong doing? He actually let the enemy dig tunnels in front of the position. He didn't tell us before. We have to be careful. I always feel that Li Yunlong has set an ambush in front of the enemy's tunnel fortifications. We must not fall into our own trap!"
"I'll go ask Captain Wang later. Let's repel the Japanese' attack first. I didn't expect to arrive in time for the decisive battle. We have all the equipment in hand. This is a good opportunity to vent our anger!" Ding Wei said with a smile on his face.
Kong Jie agreed with this very much. They had suffered a lot from the Japanese these days. They were beaten by the Japanese every day, which was really frustrating. This time they could take revenge for their dead brothers.
"Old Ding, I never thought that the independent regiment had so many artillery pieces. Wang Chengzhu has completely suppressed the Japanese artillery and even allocated some artillery pieces to attack them. If there were not enough people on the battlefield, more artillery pieces could be deployed. I have fought for so many years, and if I had one or two Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery pieces, I would have treasured them every day. But who would have thought that Li Yunlong is now using heavy artillery? The two of us really can't compare to him!"
"I never expected that the independent regiment had changed its personnel three times in less than a year since I left. Many old faces are gone and should have been sacrificed. This shows how fierce the fighting was in recent days. Even with the help of heavy artillery, Li Yunlong almost couldn't hold the position. The two of us have to be careful and don't capsize in the ditch!" Kong Jie finally reminded worriedly.
"Lao Kong, the Japanese are coming. You are responsible for the left wing, and I am responsible for the right wing. We must repel the Japanese attack this time. As long as we can hold the Xiaoyunling position, Li Yunlong can fight the Japanese fighter planes without any worries. The two of us can't hold back this time, otherwise we really won't be able to explain to Li Yunlong and the brigade commander!"
Ding Wei picked up two submachine guns and handed one to Kong Jie. The two of them, one in charge of the left wing and the other in charge of the right wing, began to command their troops to fight the Japanese.
Compared with the front line of the Xiaoyunling position, the air defense operations in the rear were more intense, and the battle had reached a white-hot level. The balance between the two sides had been completely broken and was developing in a direction favorable to Lin Zhenhua and Li Yunlong.
As one Japanese bomber after another was shot down, Major General Fujita realized that if he continued like this, he would be dead. He decided to send out three bombers to launch a desperate charge to find a way out for the fleet.
"Mr. Nakamoto, your First Bomber Squadron now only has three bombers left. I need you to sacrifice for the entire air wing. I don't need to explain the specifics. You should understand. Just follow the order!"
Ippei Nakamoto did not refute. He also knew that this was the only way at the moment. If it were not for the small number of bombs carried by the dive bomber, the Major General of Aerospace would never let him take the risk.
Ippei Nakamoto and the three remaining planes of the 1st Bomber Squadron fell rapidly towards the ground. They had only one thought in their minds at this time, which was to find ways to destroy part of the anti-aircraft firepower and create a safe passage for Major General Fujita to escape!
Li Yunlong had been keeping a close eye on the Japanese bomber. When he saw the nose of the bomber lower, he immediately ordered: "Fire anti-aircraft rockets immediately. We must not let the Japanese fighter planes land on our air defense positions. Hurry up, we are racing against time!"
Lin Zhenhua also noticed the movement in the rear. He was very satisfied with Li Yunlong's arrangement. He took over the quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft gun from Xiao Zhongyuan and rejoined the battle.
"Old Li, your command is good. Our victory today is certain. As long as we lock down the Japanese in the air defense circle and don't let them escape, we can shoot them down one by one. It doesn't matter if it takes longer. As long as we can keep all the Japanese fighter planes, we don't have to be afraid of more Japanese coming. We can kill them all with ammunition alone!" Lin Zhenhua said boastfully.
Li Yunlong did not expose it. He felt really sorry for the ammunition used in today's air defense battle. Half of the special shells had been used up, and the remaining shells could only last for half an hour. After that, they could only continue to fire ordinary shells. Fortunately, victory was already decided!
