Chapter 729 Li Yunlong: I succeeded (second update)
Author: 574981
Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Huang Yu all stood at the lookout, staring at the sky with wide eyes.
There was gray smoke everywhere above our heads, and we couldn't see anything. We could only judge by the roar of the engine that the plane had been hovering above everyone.
"Old Li, Xiao Huang's method works..." Kong Jie said with excitement.
"Creating thick smoke to prevent air strikes is useful here, and it can definitely be used on other battlefields."
"There are many plains in the center of the wing and almost no mountainous areas. Air defense has always been the biggest problem for us in external operations."
"Now that this big problem has been solved by Xiao Huang, the benefits to the Yizhong Eighth Route Army will definitely be huge."
"Inform the troops to prepare for air defense..." Huang Yu suddenly interrupted.
"Captain, Commander Li."
"The Japanese Air Force will definitely not give up and will always be used as decoration in the sky."
"That old devil from Kawasaki will not allow us to build offensive positions outside the city."
"We just used mortars to bombard the offensive position."
"It's supposed to stop us from creating smoke here."
“In the end, Kawasaki stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice.”
"Not only did it fail to achieve its goal, it actually made the smoke above our heads thicker and thicker."
"The infantry has no choice but to let the planes risk low-altitude bombing."
Li Yunlong understood this and immediately ordered his chief of staff: "The troops should be prepared for air defense."
"All the heavy machine guns are mounted on the anti-aircraft shooting racks. We are not greedy for more and concentrate our firepower on one aircraft."
"It's up to them whether they can fly a plane."
…………
The Duyi Regiment has nine main companies, each of which has a fire platoon and is equipped with two heavy machine guns.
The anti-aircraft machine gun racks were completed last night and are scattered in every corner of the offensive position. The heavy machine gun is mounted on top. The machine gunner lies on the ground and can shoot in the air while aiming at the target.
The light machine gun works in teams of two, with one person holding the bipod and the other operating it, ready to fire at any time.
"Buzz buzz..."
The roar of the aircraft suddenly became louder, and a plane was faintly seen getting through the smoke and diagonally descending towards the offensive position.
"The Japanese plane has indeed come down. The gunner is ready..." Li Yunlong was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground. He stared at the increasingly clear fuselage above his head with wide eyes, preparing to wait for it to dive to its lowest point before firing.
"Captain Li, it's almost done..."
Huang Yu understands combat aircraft of this era better than Li Yunlong.
Knowing when to attack can give the machine gunner the longest shooting time.
Although the plane has not dived to its lowest point yet.
However, due to the limited flexibility of the aircraft, the Little Devil pilot still needs time to react. Even if he is attacked, he cannot climb immediately.
Shooting three or four seconds in advance will not affect the aircraft's continued dive towards the position at all, but it can fire hundreds more rounds of bullets.
Li Yunlong believed Huang Yu's words and immediately ordered: "Start robbing..."
“Dong dong dong… da da da…”
More than 40 light and heavy machine guns fired into the air together as if they were discussing it.
Rains of bullets flew into the sky from different locations, and in the blink of an eye they enveloped the Japanese planes that suddenly appeared above their heads.
The fuselage of the fighter plane was beaten loudly, and the wings on both sides were instantly drilled into a hornet's nest.
Although these injuries did not affect the aircraft at all, they really frightened the little Japanese pilot and quickly positioned the aircraft to climb.
Little did they know that doing so would completely expose the plane's most vulnerable fuel tanks and cabin to the only group.
"Hit me hard, aim hard..." Li Yunlong stared at the little Japanese plane, fearing that the piece of fat would slip away from his mouth, so he ordered in a hurry.
"If you don't believe me, you can't fly on a kid's plane."
"Dong dong dong..."
The gunfire on the position suddenly became louder, and everyone was staring at the fuel tank and cabin of the aircraft and firing wildly.
The pilot's nerves were tense, his heart was in his throat, and he kept praying that the plane would climb faster.
"Rumble..."
The climbing aircraft suddenly turned into a ball of fire, and a violent explosion followed.
Li Yunlong's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he said excitedly: "We've beaten him down..."
"I, Li Yunlong, really shot down the Japanese plane..."
"Without planes, that old devil from Kawasaki can't do anything to our offensive position."
"All machine gunners remain on standby."
"If the little Japanese planes in the sky still dare to bomb us at low altitudes, just like before, let me do it."
"Damn it, I've been bombed by Japanese planes for so many years."
"I can finally take a breath today."
…………
Above the east gate of Baoding, the smoke obscured the figure of the aircraft, but it could not block the sound of light and heavy machine gun fire, let alone the sound of aircraft explosions.
When I saw the plane about to break out of the thick smoke, it turned into a ball of fire and crashed towards the city.
Major General Kawasaki was so frightened by the scene before him that he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Rumble..."
A more violent explosion sounded not far away.
The plane turned into a ball of fire and hit the city wall fifty meters away.
Fireballs shot into the sky, countless aircraft parts were blown away, flying everywhere, and hot air waves quickly swept around.
Major General Kawasaki could feel it even standing fifty meters away.
Although he had already thought of the huge risks that aircraft would face during low-altitude bombing.
But when the danger really came, he was not prepared and his face became very ugly.
"Rumble..."
There was also an explosion in the west of the city.
Major General Kawasaki quickly raised his telescope.
About two kilometers west of the city, a cloud of black smoke suddenly rose up, rising to an altitude of tens of meters before spreading around, forming a huge mushroom cloud.
The roar of planes coming from the west of the city stopped at the same time.
No matter how stupid Major General Kawasaki was, he would have known that something had happened to the plane that was reinforcing Josai.
The aviation force sent three planes, and two of them had accidents under their command. If the news spread, the aviation command would definitely be dissatisfied with itself.
The subsequent air support will be more or less affected.
"Boom boom boom..."
Another explosion suddenly sounded in the south of the city. Major General Kawasaki thought something had happened to the last plane in the sky, so he quickly raised his telescope.
"General, the aviation force is bombing the Eighth Route Army's offensive positions south of the city!" a combat staff officer reported.
"Didn't the Eighth Route Army in the south of the city create smoke to attack the aviation force?" Major General Kawasaki asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Made..." the combat staff quickly said what he had just learned.
"But the aircraft successfully climbed to a high altitude and got rid of ground anti-aircraft fire."
"In order to prevent the aircraft from being attacked again, the aviation force decided to conduct indiscriminate bombing at high altitudes."
Major General Kawasaki became anxious when he heard this: "Bagya Road..."
"How could they do this?"
"There are Eighth Route Army offensive positions everywhere outside the city. They can't even locate the target and are bombing blindly. Isn't that a waste of ammunition?"
"Six aerial bombs dropped on one plane were probably all in vain."
"The pilots were too timid. The anti-aircraft firepower of light and heavy machine guns scared them like that. It is simply a shame for the imperial soldiers."
The second update is delivered today, please order it all!
