Chapter 84 How can there be anti-aircraft firepower
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and the expansion of the militia has been basically completed.
Today, the militia has five infantry battalions. The commanders of the first to fifth battalions are Wu Chengfeng, Xiao Zhankui, You Tianliang, Nong Tiancai, and Yan Xiaofu.
Gao Hongming thought long and hard before letting Dabao serve as the commander of the guard camp. Although this smelled a bit of nepotism, the special nature of the guard camp made it necessary to hand it over to the person he trusted most, so Dabao, who was loyal to him, became an indispensable person.
Two choices.
The commander of the 1st Artillery Battalion was still Geng Changshun, while the commander of the 2nd Artillery Battalion was an officer named Zhuang Mancai who was poached from the Jinsui Army.
The air defense company originally attached to the artillery battalion was also upgraded to an air defense battalion, and the battalion commander was still Hu Dahai.
Finally, there is the supplementary battalion. This battalion has a rather special mission. Its mission is to provide supplementary soldiers for other troops, so it has the largest number of people, with more than 800 people.
When the expansion was completed, Gao Hongming made statistics and was shocked. The number of people in the expanded militia group had exceeded 8,000. This was not a militia group at all. It was clearly the size of a Type B division.
Moreover, due to the surge in the number of militiamen, Xiaocao Village could no longer accommodate so many people. In addition to transferring the supplementary battalion to Liantai County to serve as garrison troops, Gao Hongming dispersed the remaining five battalions to several other villages on the outskirts of the county for covert dispersal.
So as not to attract too many people's attention.
At this time, Gao Hongming had a feeling of being afraid of being discovered by others after launching a violent attack. He was quite uneasy, fearing that Yan Laoxi, who was far away in Kenanpo, would cause trouble for him. After all, he had been a bit ruthless in his expansion.
But something happened next that threw his original guilt out of the sky.
The weather in June has become hotter.
This morning, the soldiers of the First Battalion stationed in Wuli Village were resting after completing a 5,000-kilometer armed cross-country trip. They would conduct assassination training later.
On a training ground that had been leveled off from a piece of wasteland, the soldiers formed a circle.
Wu Chengfeng stood in the middle and introduced the assassination essentials to the new recruits.
"The terrain of the battlefield is diverse, and under various terrain conditions, there are different principles for assassination actions.
First, the mountainous terrain is complex and steep, making it difficult to stand firmly and maneuver.
Therefore, when stabbing Chinese medicine on opposite sides, seize a favorable position, rush up and avoid down, stand firm on both feet, and strive to take the initiative.
The second is ice and snow stabbing. Due to the slippery ground, it is difficult to stand firmly and move. The wind and snow are strong, and the reflection of the snow will also affect the vision. Therefore, when preparing to use the gun, the range of slight bending of the knees should be slightly larger, and the toes of the right toes should be slightly pointed inward.
combine.
The forward and backward steps of the thrust should not be too large. When drawing the gun, the main force is required with both arms. In order to prevent slipping, you can also step on grass or uneven objects to stabilize the body for accurate thrust.
The third is stabbing at night. Since the visibility at night is poor, the first priority is to observe from a low posture and timely detect the enemy, and take the initiative to attack and eliminate the enemy with sudden and brave movements.
Note that when there is moonlight and lighting, try to use the shadow of objects to hide yourself..."
After finishing speaking, Wu Chengfeng was about to call the two soldiers out for a sparring session when he heard a low roar coming from the sky.
Soon, the soldiers saw a group of dark planes flying over their heads toward the southwest.
"That's a Japanese plane!" a soldier suddenly shouted.
"The direction they went to seems to be Wild Wolf Valley, where the armored battalion is stationed."
"Not good..." Wu Chengfeng's expression suddenly changed, "Tuanzuo... Tuanzuo... Tuanzuo just went to the Wild Wolf Valley for an inspection this morning."
As soon as Wu Chengfeng finished speaking, everyone's faces turned pale.
At the same time, Gao Hongming, who was inspecting the Wild Wolf Valley, also heard the shrill air raid siren. When he raised his head, he saw planes roaring down from the sky towards the Wild Wolf Valley.
Several hundred kilograms of bombs were falling from under the wings of the plane and landed on the ground with an earth-shattering explosion.
"Hurry...hurry...start the vehicle for evacuation..."
"Evacuate quickly..."
The sudden air raid plunged the newly formed armored battalion into chaos, with many soldiers running around like headless flies.
Fortunately, officers at all levels came out in time to direct the evacuation, and further casualties were avoided.
"Air defense company... what is the air defense company doing... hurry up and enter the gun position..." Gao Hongming was shouting loudly.
"Tanzuo...it's dangerous here, please take cover quickly!"
Upon seeing this, Li Changan quickly came over and hugged Gao Hongming, dragging him to run back.
Gao Hongming got angry and pushed him away, "Li Changan, why the hell are you holding me? Hurry up and command the troops. If the armored battalion is destroyed, I won't be able to spare you."
Looking at Gao Hongming's red eyes, Li Changan also knew how much effort the regiment had placed on the armored battalion, so he could only helplessly run towards a Dongfeng self-propelled artillery parked aside.
At this time, in the sky 1,500 meters above the ground, sixteen Type 97 heavy bombers were hovering in the air, surrounded by six Nakajima Type 1 fighters escorting them.
Taking this bombing seriously, Colonel Fujino Shigeharu, the captain of the 21st Air Force, personally led the team.
At this time, he was sitting on a Type 97 heavy explosive aircraft, looking at the soldiers running around on the ground, with a sneer on his lips.
"Yo Xi... These Chinese people are definitely doomed. The first squadron dropped to an altitude of 800 meters and continued bombing. This Chinese armored force, which is still in its infancy, must be wiped out."
"Hi!"
The voice of the first squadron leader came from the headset, and then the noses of the six Type 97 heavy bombers suddenly lowered and roared towards the ground. As the hatches opened wide, bombs detached from the hatches one by one.
It falls rapidly towards the ground under the influence of gravity.
"Yoshi!"
Looking at the continuous explosions on the ground, Fujino Shigeharu nodded with satisfaction. This time the bombing was completely beyond the Chinese people's expectations. When the bombing was completed, I dare not say that they could 100% destroy their tank troops, but they could destroy them.
He was still sure of more than half of the vehicles and personnel.
While Fujino Shigeharu was happily admiring the results of the bombing with a telescope in the sky, his sharp eyes suddenly saw an orange-red fire coming from the ground, and then the fire rushed towards a Type 97 heavyweight that was conducting low-altitude bombing.
Explosive machine.
The heavy-explosion aircraft suddenly emitted a burst of thick black smoke, followed by fire, and the entire aircraft rushed to the ground like a heavy weight.
"boom……"
An explosion that was several times louder than before was heard, and the Type 97 heavy explosive aircraft was destroyed.
"Bagayalu...how do the Chinese armored forces have anti-aircraft firepower?"
