The regimental commander's words further confirmed to Li Xiongbing that the air defense company had a mission.
Without a word of nonsense, he answered directly: "Captain, please rest assured that the machine gunners of the air defense company are all veterans drawn from each battalion. They only need some adaptive training to form combat effectiveness. Now that the air defense company is ready for combat, just wait
Commander, give me the order!"
"I really have a mission for you!" Wang Ping answered directly without being polite.
"According to the intelligence, within an hour at most, the Japanese bombers will come over our heads to bomb the original headquarters. I asked the air defense company to ambush around the battlefield. When the Japanese bombers start to carry out low-altitude bombing, they will suddenly open fire and kill the Japanese planes!"
"The air defense company only has nine heavy machine guns that can shoot into the air. The firepower density is definitely not enough. I will transfer the light machine guns equipped by all the security forces around the station to you. The effective range of the light machine guns for anti-aircraft shooting is more than 500 meters. It is suitable for shooting Japanese aircraft.
It’s definitely no problem, how about it, do you have confidence?”
"Captain, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission!" Li Xiongbing ordered directly without saying a word.
When the Ono Brigade Headquarters in Laiyuan City received the information from the intelligence office, Ono didn't even think of asking about it. He directly ordered the newly arrived Chief of Staff to contact the Army Aviation Corps and request the dispatch of at least three bombers to bomb the independent regiment command.
department.
Although the Independent Regiment was only a regiment-level unit, it was honored to be on the blacklist of the Japanese Army Headquarters in North China because the number of Imperial Army troops it wiped out after its formation was even one division greater than that of other troops.
If the headquarters of the Independent Regiment can be destroyed in one fell swoop through bombing and the soul of the Independent Regiment, Wang Ping, can be eliminated, that will definitely be a result that the Japanese army would like to see.
Therefore, the North China Japanese Army Command immediately issued an order to Army Aviation, requesting the air force to be sent to reinforce the Ono Brigade and strive to destroy the independent regiment headquarters.
Commander Nie and Yang Chengwu were protected by a guard company. Less than twenty minutes after they moved to the air-raid shelter, the huge roar of the plane reached their ears.
Several people immediately ran to the headquarters and raised their binoculars at the entrance.
Three bombers came directly into their field of vision, but because they were too far away, they did not look as big as flying birds.
But not long after, the huge figures of three bombers appeared in front of them.
"The little Japanese spies are starting to smoke!" Suddenly, an exclamation sounded in their ears.
Sure enough, the forest at the foot of the mountain, which was green just now, suddenly emitted three strands of red smoke distributed in a perfect glyph.
When such smoke appears, you don't have to guess that it was released by Japanese spies to guide the bombers in the sky to their bombing targets.
"Director Deng, the Japanese spies have appeared, we must kill them this time!" Political Commissar Cheng Xiao ordered with a serious face.
You know, if all this was not a conspiracy of Director Deng, the independent regiment headquarters would probably be razed to the ground in less than a minute.
The ones who caused all of this were a few little Japanese spies. At this time, it would be hard to describe Cheng Xiao's hatred for these spies with the words "hatred to the core."
Deng Hongtao, who was standing next to him, quickly replied: "Don't worry, political commissar, I've deployed a whole company below. As long as they show up, I guarantee they won't be able to escape!"
"Bang bang bang!" As he spoke, a burst of gunshots rang out in the forest. It lasted less than ten seconds and ended. It didn't take a guess to know that several Japanese spies must have been eliminated.
The spies were solved, but three streams of red smoke attracted the Japs bombers.
Perhaps in order not to give the independent regiment command too much time to move, the three finished bombers, distributed in a zigzag pattern, dived down to the ground together, preparing to throw more aerial bombs at the target at once. Through the density of the bombs, they could destroy the independent regiment command at once.
department.
The little devils are destined to pay a heavy price for their arrogance.
The three bombers dived until they were three to four hundred meters above the ground without any intention of raising their bombs, and continued to dive toward the ground with a scream.
Two hundred meters away, there are still two hundred meters from the ground. It only takes a few seconds for the three bombers to hit the ground. The three bombers finally began to pull up, and the doors of the belly ammunition compartment also began to open, preparing to drop bombs.
.
Just as Commander Nie held up his binoculars and stared at the battlefield motionlessly, more than twenty tongues of fire suddenly appeared in the green forest.
The bomber flying at high speed crashed into the middle of a fire net composed of more than twenty tongues of flame.
A total of six aerial bombs fell from the sky and hit the ground with a screaming sound.
The three bombers panicked at this time. As soon as they were blown up and thrown out, they began to evade the bullets coming from the ground, and then quickly climbed up, trying to get out of the range of ground anti-aircraft fire.
"Boom..." The bomber on the far right was so unlucky that its bullet hit the fuel tank directly.
The fuel quickly caught fire under the action of the hot bullets. The sudden flames quickly enveloped the entire bomber, and then an explosion rang out in the air. The bomber that was just showing off its power was instantly blown to pieces.
The pilots on the remaining two bombers were directly frightened, and they controlled the plane with a look of horror on their faces, trying to get away from here as soon as possible.
However, the whizzing bullets seemed to have eyes, always staring at them.
Holes were drilled one after another in their plane.
"Ah...Baga, I've been shot!" Suddenly, a bullet penetrated the protective layer of the aircraft and entered the cabin of the aircraft, and then directly entered the pilot's stomach.
The intense pain suddenly caused the pilot to sweat profusely, and the movements of his hands were also very unfamiliar due to the injury.
The air defense company didn't know that the pilot had been injured, but the plane that had been able to evade flexibly just now suddenly slowed down, and Li Xiongbing still noticed something unusual.
Then he pointed at the plane on the right and shouted: "Aim at the plane on the right, there must be something wrong with the plane on the right!"
The firepower of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns immediately enveloped the aircraft. The pilot, who was unable to make skillful evasive maneuvers, could only watch as more and more bullets penetrated the aircraft and hit the aircraft engine.
Soon, a plume of thick black smoke came out of the aircraft engine, and the rapidly rotating propellers turned slower and slower. The rapidly climbing bomber suddenly lost power and then glided into the woods not far away.
Although the last Japanese bomber finally broke out of the effective range of the heavy machine gun, the dense bullets directly turned the wings on both sides of the bomber into a hornet's nest.
One of the wings on one side was in a shaky position under the huge blocking force and could fall off at any time.
Perhaps because of the good luck of the Independent Regiment, the Japanese bomber that had escaped the disaster subconsciously wanted to retreat. However, less than two minutes after flying, the shaky wing broke, and then the plane began to stagger toward the ground.
Float down.
Wang Ping, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, immediately ordered: "The Japs must want to make an emergency landing. Order the nearest battalion to keep an eye on the Japs plane. No matter whether it is good or not, keep it hidden for me. The Japs planes are everywhere.
They are all treasures. If we can capture them, we will make a lot of money!"
