The two commanders, Yoshio Shinozuka and Kong Jie, are both full of confidence.
Time quickly passed by for an hour and a half.
The order from the Japanese Army Command was issued, and the little Japanese soldiers of the flight team that had been waiting at the airport flew fighter jets, bombers, and reconnaissance planes in a unique combat formation toward the base area of the Independence Regiment.
More than twenty minutes later, in the sky above the Independence Regiment base area, the huge roar of the Japanese aircraft engine was heard.
Nowadays, the air defense construction of the independent regiment base has been increasingly improved.
The air defense lookout towers are erected high, and soldiers on 24-hour alert are always on guard with binoculars looking into the sky to beware of incoming Japanese planes.
There are seven or eight of these high-erected lookout towers.
Each tower is more than 500 meters apart. Once a Japanese aircraft is detected nearby, the guard post on the observatory will immediately transmit the message with a military flag.
Then through multiple observation towers, the information is transmitted at the speed of light and quickly transmitted to the interior of the base area.
This speed is much faster than the Japanese plane.
At this time, the flying speed of the Japanese aircraft, even the most excellent Zero aircraft, was only about 540 kilometers per hour, which was only about 150 meters per second.
Therefore, the air defense warning within the independent regiment's base area can basically lead the Japanese aircraft by about one minute, and sometimes it can even gain two or three minutes of preparation time.
At the base of the Independent Regiment, soldiers and civilians have been conducting air defense drills for a long time. What is required is that all personnel must move to the nearest air defense fortification within 30 seconds.
Dang Dang Dang——
The anti-aircraft warning sentry sounded the anti-aircraft hand bell in more than one place.
The loud ringtone spread quickly.
In the detachment headquarters, just a few minutes ago, Kong Jie had expressed his prediction.
"Based on the false information passed by the War Ignorance Bureau, plus the recent investigations by the Japanese spies lurking inside our base area.
I think the specific locations of the various fake military buildings we built in the base area have already been communicated to the Japanese military headquarters."
"If I were that old devil like Yoshio Shinozuka, when I sent troops to raid Dafengzhuang, I would definitely choose to send flying squadrons to bomb the opponents."
"Strive to provide a certain cover for the ultimate goal of raiding Dafengzhuang in the chaos."
When the air defense siren rang, Xu Guoan's expression changed slightly: "Old Kong, you are really right."
Kong Jie had a smile on his face, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about it first after entering the air-raid shelter."
As an important military site like the detachment headquarters, it is natural that air defense measures have already been taken. The air raid shelter is even underground a few steps outside the hospital.
As soon as Yu Yong, deputy commander of the guard company, heard the air defense siren, he rushed into the house with several guard soldiers.
"Regiment leader, political commissar, chief of staff, please transfer immediately!"
"Let's go!"
Kong Jie said, grabbing the map on the small wooden table and moving towards the nearby air raid shelter.
At this time, if you look down from the sky above the Independence Regiment base area, you will find such a shocking scene.
If the original independent group base was compared to an ant nest, there would be countless ants busy going back and forth outside the ant nest, which can be seen everywhere.
After the air-raid alarm suddenly sounded, in less than 20 seconds, the ants that were still moving outside the ant nests quickly entered the burrows in an orderly manner.
In the blink of an eye, there were no more people to be seen in the entire ground.
In such a scene, one has to admire the efficiency of the Eighth Route Army soldiers in conducting air defense evacuation.
After waiting in the air-raid shelter, listening to the roar of Japanese planes coming from the base area, Kong Jie judged:
"Judging from the sound, the flying height of the Japanese plane is not low. I guess the little Japanese were also frightened by our anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns."
"It looks more like a reconnaissance plane."
"I guess I came here to get a feel for it first. The main course will be served soon."
The words just fell.
Rumble——
It seems that the only thing left in the world is this frightening roar.
In order to cope with the bombings of Japanese planes from time to time.
Kong Jie has already prepared everything at the base, and even specially built a war neglect bureau, and built camouflage buildings for all aspects of military construction.
I know clearly that the kid's bombing this time is mostly aimed at those camouflaged construction areas.
After being beaten so passively, he could only hide in the air-raid shelter in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Commander Kong couldn't help but cursed with anger in his heart:
"In the past, the Japs had machine guns and artillery, and we were useless in battles. Now we also have machine guns and artillery, but the Japs also have planes. Every time the Japs' planes arrive and the bombing starts, I feel aggrieved."<
/p>
"It has always been the little devils who bombed us with planes. When can we use planes to fight back?"
"Just fly on two planes, bring enough bombs and run to the sky above Taiyuan City, and blow up that old devil Yoshio Shinozuka directly."
"How happy would that be?"
Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie looked at each other and smiled bitterly, neither of them could say anything.
Kong Jie continued minding his own business: "It seems that the plan to build the airport will be accelerated. I will have to find a way to get Duan Peng and the others to get me a few planes back later."
Boom——
The bombing was still going on. As Kong Jie judged, the two previous Japanese reconnaissance planes quickly flew over the high altitude of the independent regiment's base. After preliminary reconnaissance, the Japanese fighter jets and bombers arrived immediately.
The target has already been determined.
In order to complete this bombing mission perfectly, the Japanese pilots even memorized the locations of the construction targets in various parts of the Independence Regiment base in the previous combat plan training.
This bombing made the Japanese pilots scream in their hearts.
They looked down from the plane and saw that every important military building in the Independence Regiment's base had been blown up.
Factories collapsed one after another; the cannons on the artillery positions were blown to pieces; a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and cars parked at the edge of the spacious training ground were bombed to pieces.
There are watchtowers, air defense forts, and even headquarters...
The Japanese commander who led the team held a telescope from the plane and looked at the indiscriminate bombing of the Eighth Route Army's base. He couldn't help but daydream in his heart.
If Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment, is unlucky and is killed in this bombing, the general's commendation may not be far away.
In the bombing zone shrouded by the Japanese flying squadron.
The soldiers of the independent regiment, who quickly entered the air defense fortifications in the base area, also used the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns at hand to launch a counterattack.
The military skills training courses within the independent regiment also include air defense combat teaching.
How to carry out air defense operations and destroy Japanese planes is also a matter of knowledge.
In addition to anti-aircraft weapons such as anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, which are specially used to fight aircraft.
The light and heavy machine guns and even rifles in the hands of soldiers can also be effectively used to deal with low-flying Japanese aircraft.
In the course, soldiers will learn how to choose the advance amount and how to seize the perfect opportunity to shoot at the aircraft.
I have also learned about the structure and key points of Japanese aircraft, such as engines, fuel tanks, pilots, pipes, circuits, etc. As long as these fatal parts are hit, the Japanese aircraft may be shot down.
In addition, Kong Jie also asked the air defense forces in the base area to formulate corresponding air defense shooting teams.
Therefore, the soldiers currently conducting air defense operations in the base area can even be said to be quite professional air defense troops.
Even with the limited anti-aircraft weapons at hand, the Japanese aircraft cannot be destroyed efficiently.
However, under the fierce counterattack of anti-aircraft fire, the little Japanese tried a low-altitude flight in Jin and was destroyed by two aircraft.
No matter they are fighter jets or bombers, they no longer dare to fly at low altitudes. They just follow the established bombing missions and bomb targets they are familiar with in advance.
It's just that they were too far away, so they could only roughly see that the target was completely destroyed, but they couldn't observe the specific situation.
In the end, the Japanese flying team, which had been roaring back and forth over the independent regiment's base for more than ten minutes, left behind the wreckage of two planes that crashed into the mountainous area, mixed with three or four damaged planes, and evacuated in a rather embarrassing manner.<
/p>
Until the Japanese planes withdrew, the sound of bombing echoing in the mountains and forests gradually subsided and the smoke dispersed.
The soldiers who participated in this air defense operation suffered very few casualties because the Japanese were focused on bombing camouflaged targets.
"It's so irritating. How come it's so hard to shoot down these damn Japanese planes? We have so many machine guns and artillery pieces, but we only shot down two planes!"
Some soldiers who participated in this air defense operation were very depressed.
At this time, Kong Jie, who confirmed through the air defense guard post that the Japanese plane had completely left, arrived with Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie.
Just when he heard the soldier's complaint, Kong Jie smiled and cursed:
"If planes were really that easy to fight, the little devil would have been driven back to Japan long ago."
"What we lost this time was just some disguised factories and various bases."
"According to the air defense equipment of our Chinese army, if we count it, thousands of artillery shells or even tens of thousands of bullets can bring down an aircraft."
"Now we have shot down two planes in about ten minutes. What else do you have to be dissatisfied about?"
"Hey, Captain, when you say that, it really is what it is."
The little warrior scratched his head, making everyone laugh.
