Chapter 322 The annihilation of the sixth heavy artillery brigade
The b-24 "Liberator" bomber is the main bomber produced and used most by the US military in World War II in another time and space. Its performance is very powerful. Not only does it have a range of more than 5,000 kilometers, but its bomb load is also
It reached an astonishing six times.
What does a six-ton bomb load mean? A six-ton bomb load means that a "Liberator" can carry thirty 200-kilogram aerial bombs at a time, and it can also carry twelve 500-kilogram bombs.
Heavy aerial bombs or six one-ton super-heavy bombs.
However, what we were bombing today was the Japanese heavy artillery position. Carrying more than 200 kilograms of bombs was simply a waste. Therefore, today the Liberator Squadron carried only 100 kilograms of bombs.
Therefore, when the thirty Liberators lined up in a dense formation and poured all the 1,800 aerial bombs they carried, totaling 180 tons, on the head of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade
tragedy.
The high-explosive bombs falling like a downpour from an altitude of eight thousand meters completely blew up the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade. Looking down from the air, you will find that the entire ground is like a dense network.
Suddenly, the black fireworks kept flashing the light of death on the ground, like a sickle of death that crazily reaped the lives of Japanese soldiers.
Under such overwhelming bombing, the Japanese anti-aircraft fire had no time to react, but even if it could react, it was useless, because the eight thousand meters altitude where the liberators were located was in the sky that they could not reach, but they could reach
The number of Taisho 14th-year-old 105mm anti-aircraft guns was too small, and their accuracy was extremely poor. When they fired the shells to an altitude of 8,000 meters, the plane had already run away.
The Liberator bomber squadron came and left just as quickly. The total process of arriving, dropping bombs, and leaving took less than five minutes. By the time they left, the Japanese positions that had been arrogant a few minutes ago were already in ruins.
The hole is a mess...
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, Your Excellency, wake up quickly!"
When Major General Takada Daisuke slowly woke up from his coma, what he saw was a face darkened by gunpowder smoke.
Listening to the familiar voice, Daisuke Takada shook his head and recognized that it was Hirano Nagano, the commander of the 2nd Heavy Artillery Regiment. Then he said with difficulty: "It turns out to be Nagano-kun. How is the position now?"
Nagano Haoran said with a cry: "Your Excellency, our position... our position is almost destroyed by the bombing!"
"What? Our position is gone?"
Daisuke Takada suddenly sat up in desperation, but as soon as he sat up, he felt a sharp pain in his right leg. The pain made Daisuke Takada groan involuntarily. He looked down and saw that his right leg
His leg had been thickly wrapped with a first aid kit. He immediately understood that he had been injured just now.
He ignored the pain. He grabbed Nagano Haoran and asked urgently: "Nagano-kun, tell me, how is our position? What are the losses?"
Nagano Haoran said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, your right leg is injured. You can't move around yet. As for the position..."
Daisuke Takada's heart sank and he struggled to stand up. Nagano Hiran quickly supported him, and he turned his head and looked around. The scene in front of him made him, a general known for his calmness, feel dizzy.
The several Taisho 11-year-old 75mm anti-aircraft guns that were around him just now have disappeared. The only traces they left were a few twisted iron pipes, several curved shell shells and various shapes. corpses of Japanese soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms.
"What about the other positions? How are they doing?"
Seeing such a scene, Takada Daisuke couldn't support it anymore. He collapsed on the ground, a look of despair flashed across his face. After a while, he asked sadly: "Nagano-kun, tell me, the whole Was the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade destroyed?"
Nagano Haoran sighed and said: "No. But the round of Chinese bombers just now destroyed at least 50% of our heavy artillery and more than half of our anti-aircraft artillery, and also lost nearly half of our personnel."
Daisuke Takada felt his vision go dark. He almost fainted again. In just a short time, half of the heavy artillery and more than half of the anti-aircraft artillery were lost. What could he use to resist the menacing Chinese armored force?
There is a Chinese saying that good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortune never comes alone. Just when Daisuke Takada was about to speak, there was another buzzing roar in the sky. When everyone looked up, the Chinese bombers that had just retreated flew back again. .
The black vultures were like a group of the most annoying ghosts. After flying in, they slowly circled in the air three thousand meters away, as if they were carefully observing their prey. At this time, the scattered anti-aircraft fire on the ground could no longer be seen. There was no threat to them anymore, so they were able to observe their targets so boldly.
Suddenly, the two leading vultures lowered their heads and swooped down from an altitude of three thousand meters at an angle of 90 degrees like ospreys pouncing on food. Soon, two bombs fell from the sky with them.
"boom……"
Two loud noises sounded almost at the same time, and two straight columns of black smoke rose into the sky. Following the violent explosion, balls of gravel and mud flew around.
Daisuke Takada closed his eyes in pain. As his understanding of the 300th Army deepened, many Japanese officers and soldiers knew that the main dive bomber of the 300th Army was a terrible thing. Not only could it fly at ninety degrees He flew at an angle to dive bomb the ground, and the bombing was extremely accurate. But what frightened the Japanese officers and soldiers even more was that this guy also made a scary siren sound when bombing, so the Japanese officers and soldiers called It's a screaming vulture from hell.
Looking at the dark group of bombers and hearing the approaching explosions and gunshots, Daisuke Takada knew that his ground guard position was about to be breached. He slowly closed his eyes and faced Nagano Haoran said sadly: "Nagano-kun, it seems that we are all going to be crushed here today. You should quickly order the soldiers to blow up the remaining artillery. As an emperor, we must not let the empire's precious artillery fall into the hands of the Chinese people." After blowing up the artillery in your hand, you... just lead the people to fight a bloody path and escape."
Nagano Haoran couldn't help but shed tears, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, what about you?"
Daisuke Takada smiled bitterly, "I am the commander of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade. Now that the Heavy Artillery Brigade no longer exists, do you think I still have the dignity to return to Japan?"
Nagano Haoran cried loudly: "Then I won't leave, I will also accompany you to have a caesarean section to apologize!"
"Shut up!" Daisuke Takada got the strength from nowhere and cursed loudly: "Although the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade is gone, our gunners are also a valuable asset of the empire. It is not easy for the empire to train a qualified gunner. You The mission now is to blow up all the heavy artillery and take them out of here, and then look for opportunities to avenge us later, do you understand?"
"Hai!"
Nagano Haoran knew that Daisuke Takada had made up his mind, so he reluctantly bowed heavily to the respected brigade commander, and then ran to the side with more than a dozen soldiers around him. Watching Nagano Haoran leave, Daisuke Takada sighed slightly. He dragged his injured leg and turned around with difficulty. He knelt down towards the east and bowed a few times. Then he took out the command knife from his waist and slowly pointed it towards his abdomen. Stab it in...
When Li Chenzhe led the armored regiment and infantry regiment to the position of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, all he saw was corpses that had been blown into grotesque shapes and piles of twisted steel.
"Fuck...how could these little devils be finished so quickly? I'm addicted to beating them."
Li Chenzhe looked at the place around him where green smoke was constantly rising, and he felt a sense of regret and joy at the same time. Although the raid on the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade had some twists and turns along the way, and he encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese army several times. When the heavy artillery brigade fired artillery shells at them just now to block them, they lost a lot of tanks. In the end, bombers arrived in time and blew up a lot of artillery for him. Finally, the mission was completed. Now he could finally attack the army. It's a great success.
Leaning heavily on the hard leather seat behind him, Li Chenzhe let out a long breath. He finally completed the task, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain it to the military headquarters and Commander Bai.
Before Li Chenzhe could take a breath, a rapid voice came from the headset, "Gecko, Gecko, I'm staring. I have observed that there is a group of Japanese troops coming towards you from behind your troops. The number is about two troops." Team, the first wave of Japanese troops will contact your troops in about ten minutes, please be prepared to engage the enemy!"
"What, so fast?"
Li Chenzhe didn't have time to lament, so he quickly cheered up and opened the public channel: "Attention, all units, attention, all units, the task of destroying the Japanese heavy artillery brigade has been completed. Now there are two regiments of enemy troops rushing towards our headquarters. Each battalion quickly formed a formation, with the infantry behind, we are ready to break out backwards!"
After giving the order, Li Chenzhe connected to the channel of the bombing squadron that was hovering in the sky: "Bombing Squadron, I am Gekko. A large number of Japanese infantry have appeared behind us. Now our troops are about to break out backwards and request air cover. Repeat, request air cover!"
Soon, the reply came from the air: "I am the bombing squadron, request received, you can break out, we will try our best to cover you!"
"Gecko understands, break out now!"
With the guarantee of the bombing squadron, Li Chenzhe felt relieved. He believed that with the strong armor and fierce artillery fire of his tanks, it would be a pipe dream for the Japanese infantry to stop him!
