As the commander of this bomber formation, the Japanese Army Aviation Captain has always been very responsible. Whether bombing or flying, he is always at the forefront.
Therefore, he was also the first to see the dazzling sparks blooming from the firepower point on the ground.
Because of the roar of the aircraft engine, he did not hear the dull shooting sound from the machine gun, but the explosion of the artillery shells that exploded hundreds of meters away after being fired made him sweat. That sound, except for anti-aircraft guns, would not
There is a second weapon.
There is no time to think about why the Chinese put anti-aircraft guns in this mountain village and wilderness. The wanton bombing and machine gun fire on the Chinese ground troops just now have left the six 96 fighter planes with almost no combat effectiveness.
‘Damn it! You really shouldn’t have lowered your altitude so low!’ The Japanese Army Aviation Captain regretted extremely at that moment.
Zweig said: All the gifts given by fate have been secretly marked with a price! This sentence is most suitable for this Japanese army aviation captain. He acted recklessly along the way and vented the suffering of war on the weak.
body, thereby gaining pleasure, but also putting oneself in danger.
A fighter plane is an eagle soaring in the blue sky, but when it takes the initiative to lower its altitude, it has given the vicious beasts on land a chance.
But the Japanese Army Aviation Captain did not accept his fate and tried his best to find a way out for himself and his colleagues.
After all, at this time, the speed of the fighter plane was as high as 230 kilometers per hour. Not everyone could easily hit such a high-speed target, even if the altitude was already so low.
So, although I was very frightened, I behaved quite calmly!
While desperately reminding his colleagues on the radio, the Japanese Army Aviation Captain, who already had a 2,000-hour flight record, instinctively pulled the rudder and stepped on the accelerator. The entire nose of the aircraft instantly rose up, and the aircraft engine, which was originally working in low-speed cruise mode, also erupted with huge power.
Roar.
If the Chinese anti-aircraft gun fails to hit within 10 seconds, he can pass over the anti-aircraft gun firepower point at high speed and raise the altitude to more than 600 meters. The probability of escape can be as high as 70%.
Unfortunately, Mo Songzi, who had always been highly focused, did not give him this time.
The first round of five shells was used to correct the ballistics. When he stepped on the pedal again, five more shells were swept out. Three of the shells hit the fuselage of the leading Japanese plane, and one shell hit the wing, knocking the plane down.
A hole the size of a washbasin exploded in the wing, and another one hit the belly of the plane. Black smoke rolled out instantly, but these were not fatal. The fighter plane with intact engine could still maintain speed. The experienced Japanese Army Aviation
The captain still has an 80% chance of driving the damaged fighter back to the airport 200 kilometers away.
But the last shell hit the cockpit of the aircraft. The shell that was specially replaced with explosive shells exploded instantly after shattering the windward glass of the cockpit. The flying shrapnel directly turned the Army Aviation Captain into a bloody gourd.
However, there was no blood mist visible, and the high temperature caused by the explosion instantly dried the blood that shot out!
The man was dead, but his foot still kept pressing the accelerator with the same strength as before, and the rudder was fixed and kept upward.
The nose of the fighter jet dragging thick smoke kept maintaining its elevation angle, and the engine continued to roar. The 96 fighter jet pulled up at an amazing 70-degree angle at high speed, facing the rain of bullets in the sky, playing a game similar to the famous one in the future.
'Cobra' maneuver!
If Tang Dao were here, he could only widen his eyes and give a "Xiu'er" emoticon.
This is not a future jet, but an old propeller aircraft. Are you sure the engine power is enough?
Of course, no matter how impressive this action is, for Mo Songzi, if he fails to blow up the Japanese plane on the spot, it is a failure!
"Made!" Mo Songzi yelled angrily, and continued to lock on the Japanese aircraft behind him. Without releasing the firing pedal, all the last ten shells that had been loaded were poured out.
The Japanese aircraft, which was hit by a shell in the fuel tank, exploded into a ball of scattered fireworks in the air!
Until then, something was wrong with the Japanese aircraft that had been pulling up like crazy. It crashed into another friendly aircraft of its own without dodge.
The Japanese aircraft was on the flank and was not hit hard by the two machine guns. Although the fuselage was hit by more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine gun bullets and left many bullet holes, it was not fatally injured and managed to pass over the ground firepower point.
After breaking away from the fire net and reaching an altitude of 600 meters, the Japanese pilot encountered such an unexpected situation before the cold sweat on his forehead had dried!
For this Japanese pilot, that moment was absolutely confusing. He never expected that he had finally escaped the Chinese bullets, and his teammates would come to teach him a lesson. What was going on?
You know, because of the need to accelerate and pull up, the power of the 500-horsepower engine of the 96 fighter has been squeezed to the extreme by the pilots, and the instantaneous speed has almost reached the upper limit of the 96 fighter - 340 kilometers per hour. Then
That’s equivalent to a high speed of 95 meters per second!
If the two Japanese planes were in tandem and their relative speeds were almost constant, it wouldn't matter. But unfortunately, the fighter plane belonging to the Japanese Army Captain, who was the best at maneuvering, was completely out of control!
The current fighter plane is like a missile that is fired and ignored. It doesn't matter who you love or the direction. What matters is that the engine roars desperately under the urging of the accelerator and explodes to the maximum power. It is almost bursting.
.
Therefore, he rushed towards the Japanese plane whose pilot was stunned from the side!
If nothing else, nothing unexpected happened. Two Japanese planes collided in an area about 700 meters above the air defense position, causing an air traffic accident.
The three remaining Japanese planes in the air were all dumbfounded. Now, half of them are gone?
Zuo Zuomu...
He wanted to cry a little. He really didn’t want to be a mascot! But his teammates were too stupid. They lowered the fighter plane to an altitude of 300 meters on the battlefield. Wasn’t it a dung beetle lighting up a lantern—looking for death?
Lieutenant Zuo Zuomu, who has already raised the fighter plane to an altitude of 1,000 meters and is still rising, is absolutely qualified to call his colleagues below stupid.
Except for the two machine guns and the bullets from the anti-aircraft machine guns, they couldn't even hit his hair.
In fact, the Chinese soldiers on the ground didn't have time to cheer, and the Japanese plane crashed into a ball of fire on top of their heads. They were also stunned!
The Japanese plane shattered into pieces, and all kinds of steel parts were thrown down. It was no less than a terrifying attack.
Fortunately! When they were building firepower fortifications, they used trees as roof bunkers. Otherwise, the risk factor would still be quite high just by relying on steel helmets.
This may also be the last counterattack of the Japanese bomber formation!
He is really stubborn, using his own body and fighter parts as bombs!
In this battle, five members of Mo Songzi's cannon platoon were injured, all of whom were injured by the Japanese pilot's "last stubbornness".
After the war, Mo Songzi even wrote a review for this!
But his combat achievements were outstanding. His cannon platoon alone destroyed three Japanese aircraft, which was a good blow to the 769th Regiment!
The Regiment Headquarters of the Fourth Army also awarded first-class collective merit to the cannon platoon, and the entire platoon was awarded 200 yuan!
The general of the 769th Regiment specifically found Mo Songzi, the junior lieutenant platoon leader, at the celebration party organized by the 683rd Brigade after the war, and gave him a notebook signed by the names of several chief officers of the 769th Regiment!
"Heroes fought in the sky, and the Japanese invaders were defeated! Special thanks!" This is the thank you handwritten by the general on the title page.
At the time, I saw that this small book was useless except for allowing Mo Songzi, who was originally from Yunnan Province, to practice the few words he knew.
"Keep it!" At Tang Dao's reminder, Mo Songzi took this meaningful notebook with him no matter where he went on the battlefield, and recorded every battlefield he experienced in simple words.
It was not until many years later that Mo Songzi truly realized the importance of this book. Even the most evil words of thanks written on it could only retreat in front of it.
That is the best proof that soldiers fought hard for their country. The extraordinary achievements of that general, not to mention the darkness that was artificially induced, even the initiators who fueled the situation, do not dare to slander it easily.
That was really the best reward that the Army second lieutenant who took advantage of the situation and took the initiative to attack and knocked down the Japanese aircraft received at that time!
But if you want to think that this battle is over, then you are really wrong.
Lieutenant Zuo Zuomu ascended to an altitude of 1,200 meters in less than half a minute, which perfectly demonstrated that Amaterasu chose to side with him at this moment.
But his other two colleagues did not have his foresight and luck. In order to prevent the Japanese army from bombing the transportation team on the road, Cheng Tieshou had more than one air defense position.
Mo Songzi's machine gun platoon is paired with an anti-aircraft machine gun squad to form a core air defense position. With this core air defense position as the center and a straight line distance of 800 meters as a large arc with a radius, there are three other anti-aircraft machine gun squads with 6 anti-aircraft machine guns and 3
A firepower point!
Seeing that the core position was firing wildly, the other six machine guns could still hold back. At the moment when two Japanese planes passed over the core air defense position at high speed and turned to the west while pulling up, the six anti-aircraft machine guns also fired at full speed.
Open fire and rain down bullets in the air!
The speed of the propeller plane was still too slow. After all, it still failed to dodge the anti-aircraft machine gun with an anti-aircraft range of only 900 meters!
Most of the two Japanese planes were hit under the fuselage, but the destructive power of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets was limited. Unless they hit key positions, the two Japanese planes that were still trying to pull themselves up had a high chance of escaping from the range.
It was the stinginess of the Japanese military industry that harmed them. There was no bulletproof steel plate installed under the cockpit, and the aluminum skin was as fragile as an eggshell in front of the bullets of anti-aircraft machine guns. The crazy bullets hit the Japanese pilot.
The severely injured Japanese pilot relied on his strong survival instinct to drive the plane dozens of kilometers before falling into coma!
But after all, the fainting caused by excessive blood loss could not be resisted by will. After running for 50 kilometers, the Japanese plane crashed into a high mountain under the eyes of Lieutenant Zuo Zuomu and turned into a ball of fireworks!
The other damaged Japanese plane had much better luck. The pilot was shot through the leg. With the desperate encouragement of Lieutenant Zuo Zuomu on the radio station, he gritted his teeth and drove the fighter plane back to the airport on the outskirts of Hara City.
!
It can be said that if the last two battle planes land safely, it will definitely be an inspirational drama for this year, and it can also cover up the ugly damage of several fighter planes to the Army Aviation Group.
As a leader and psychological counselor, Lieutenant Zuo Zuomu, who drinks chicken soup for the soul, can not only enjoy the glory, but also get rid of the notoriety of his 'mascot'.
However, the heavy machine gun bullets of Chinese soldiers not only injured the pilots, but also the 96 fighter jets, which were of good quality, were also scarred.
Just as it was landing, the Japanese airport tower discovered a fatal problem through the telescope. The landing gear of the Japanese aircraft was damaged!
The wheels had been blown out, with only a little bit of rubber still attached to them. They landed on the concrete road, undoubtedly smashing the aircraft to the ground.
Of course, the speed of propeller aircraft in this period was far inferior to that of jets, but with a landing speed of 200 kilometers, as long as a suitable lawn was found and enough buffer was provided for an emergency landing, there might still be a 30% chance of survival.
But what was terrible was that the Japanese pilot had fallen into a semi-coma state due to extreme pain and blood loss. He was controlling the plane entirely by instinct. No matter how desperately the tower called, it was too late.
So, under the stunned gaze of all the soldiers in the Japanese Army Aviation Brigade, the landing gear of the roaring landing Japanese aircraft broke off directly because there was no tire buffer at the moment it landed, and the entire fuselage hit the concrete runway heavily!
Perhaps the Japanese have never regretted their pursuit of excellence so much. If it were a dirt track, at least the chance of friction and fire would be much smaller.
Do you know how many airports in China are that simple, with a dirt runway and a few straw sheds, and fighter planes not participating in the war? Perhaps the biggest disadvantage is that the life of the fighter planes is shortened a lot.
But then, what's so big about the weak Chinese Air Force? Every time they go into battle, they fight with less and more. For them, every time they go out, it's a decisive battle and a fight to the death!
With all the pilots gone, does it matter how long the fighter planes last?
This mentality is obviously something that the Japanese, who have a huge advantage in equipment, cannot understand.
At this time, they were only annoyed and nothing else.
Although the Japanese are stingy, their engineering quality is excellent. The Japanese fighter planes gliding on the ground at high speed were filled with sparks, lightning, tilts, and rolls...
In the end, the completely out-of-control 96 fighter jet turned into a ball of fire!
This was because it was not satisfying enough for the Japanese aircraft to die in the war zone, and they had to die in front of the Japanese. The mood of the Japanese Army Aviation Brigade of the North China Front was absolutely terrible at that moment!
The key is that they haven't been able to retaliate immediately. It's not a problem of oil, but that it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw!
The Battle of Xuzhou has already begun, and the battle between China and Japan is in full swing. Most of the fighter planes at Yuancheng Airport have been requested by the North China Front Army Headquarters to support the Battle of Xuzhou.
After all, it was a large-scale battle in which both sides invested more than 800,000 people. Compared with that, a small battlefield like Licheng was simply not worth mentioning. If Xiong Yuan had not personally called General Indoor Shroud for help, there would have been bombers there.
To support them?
But no one expected that this small and inconspicuous battlefield would cause them to lose five fighter planes!
"Fortunately, there is another one!" A center left from the Army Aviation Brigade on the ground gave himself an indescribable comfort!
"Baga! That's Zuo Zuomu!" Daizuo Noyama, then captain of the Army Aviation Brigade, left such a famous saying that was widely circulated in the Japanese Army Aviation Brigade!
Although he didn't explain it very clearly, but based on the context, what he wanted to express was: it seems like there is one, but it seems like there isn't!
Zuo Zuomu, his strength deceives his teammates!
However, the good news is that whenever Zuo Zuomu goes on an expedition, the Army Aviation Brigade will never be wiped out!
Lieutenant Zuo Zuomu, who was still hovering in the sky, looked at the burning wreckage of the plane on the ground, and he was actually quite desperate.
He doesn't want to do this, but this is war, and it will not depend on anyone's willpower!
The Army Aviation Brigade of the Japanese North China Front was ordered to reinforce the 108th Division this time. It hit the iron plate and wiped out half of the squadron. In extreme anger, it observed that all 1,500 infantrymen on the Shentou Ridge battlefield had been wiped out.
The news was not passed to Xiong Yuan until half an hour later.
And it was because of this half-hour time difference that the main force of more than 2,000 Japanese troops starting from Lucheng had already engaged in a full-scale exchange of fire with the Chinese army, and they were already unable to stop.
Like the sad Zuo Zuomu, war is not based on anyone's willpower!
The main force of the 769th Regiment, which was bombed by Japanese bombers, was forced to take a detour. Although they decisively abandoned all their baggage and rushed to the battlefield lightly, they still rushed to the battlefield later than the specified time.
The first ones to rush to the battlefield were only 460 people from an infantry battalion of the 769th Regiment!
What they have to face may be more than 2,000 Japanese troops, and these 2,000 Japanese troops have light tanks and artillery.
And the most powerful firepower of this battalion is two civilian 20 heavy machine guns!
There are no mountain cannons and no mortars. Even the two domestic heavy machine guns, which are imitations of Maxim, only have 600 rounds of ammunition, and each machine gun has 300 rounds!
The strength of the two warring parties is like the contrast between a strong man and a child.
This was also the best opportunity that the Japanese Army Aviation Group of the North China Front secured for the 108th Division at the cost of five damaged fighter planes.
If they can devour this Chinese infantry battalion before the main force of the 769th Regiment arrives, even if they lose this battle, their mortal enemy the 921st Division will be in pain to the bone!
Brigadier Cheng, who was rushing to the battlefield frantically, was also sweating profusely!
Not tired, but surprised!
This is war!
No matter how wise a general is, he cannot take all accidents into account.
Perhaps, they will be forced to swallow the bitter pill of losing an entire infantry battalion! When all advantages are taken.
