    Over Bengbu, Lieutenant Colonel Yamashita was feeling a little excited at this moment. This was the 17th bombing mission for his squadron. The previous 16 missions had all been successfully completed, and it will be the same today.

    Looking at the army on the ground that was fighting with that army, Colonel Yamashita couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. The aviation force was indeed the eagle of the empire, and was definitely not comparable to those cheap infantry.

    As usual, after arriving at the battlefield, they first dispatched two fighter planes for ultra-low-altitude bombing. After finding no anti-aircraft artillery on the other side, Lieutenant Colonel Yamashita knew that the following army/that army was the same as the defenders they had encountered before.  Without anti-aircraft weapons, they can attack with confidence now.

    Commander Yamashita immediately ordered: "All fighter planes immediately lowered their altitude and carried out ultra-low altitude dive bombing through the clouds."

    "The first team received it!"

    "The second team received it!"

    "The third team received it!"

    "Team 4 received it!"

    As the name suggests, ultra-low-altitude bombing is to lower the flight altitude below the warning line and then bomb the ground targets.  Although this has certain risks, after all, if flying at ultra-low altitude, the light machine gun of that unit may pose a threat to the fighter planes, but it can ensure the bombing effect.

    The loud noise made by the aircraft engine made the Chinese defenders on the front line very nervous. Facing the Japs' aviation force, neither officers nor soldiers could do anything. They could only watch helplessly as the Japs' fighter planes swooped down.  Aerial bombs were dropped.

    "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

    As the aerial bombs landed one after another, violent explosions resounded from the forward positions, resounding throughout the entire battlefield.

    The violent air waves overturned the fortifications on the forward position one by one. The defenders on the position were blown away one by one, and what fell was a bloody storm.

    As far as the bombing effect is concerned, it is still very good. Both the Yamashita squadron that is performing the bombing mission and Numata Shigetori and others who are watching the battle are very satisfied. As long as the aviation force can continue to provide air support, the troops on the ground should be very fast.  You can capture the opposing garrison position.

    However, what they did not expect was that just as their fighter planes were wreaking havoc on the defenders' positions, at a position one kilometer away from the front-line position, the officers and soldiers of the third battalion of the air defense regiment under Li Guoyao were excitedly  Installing anti-aircraft mounts for all anti-aircraft machine guns.

    In order to carry out horizontal shooting before, they dismantled the anti-aircraft rack. Now that the Little Japanese fighter planes have arrived, the anti-aircraft rack can be used.

    And they are very confident in using anti-aircraft machine guns to shoot down the Japanese planes. Every time they see the Japanese planes being beaten down one by one, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is really indescribable.

    A few minutes later, all the overhead racks were installed. Battalion Commander Hu Zhong said loudly: "Brothers, the little devil's plane is about to raise its flight altitude. The moment they stretch the fuselage height, its belly will  Face us and give me a hard beating when the time comes!"

    "yes!"

    "Order: Load all machine gun bullets and fire freely!"

    "yes!"

    Following Hu Zhong¡¯s order, the 24 anti-aircraft machine guns on the defender¡¯s position were all ready to fire. The black muzzles of the guns met the Japanese fighter planes that were dive bombing on the defender¡¯s position.

    The Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun is divided into two types: single and double. However, since the weight of the double anti-aircraft machine gun is a bit heavy and is not conducive to the march of the troops, all the ones Li Guoyao exchanged are single.

    Although the power of a single link cannot be compared with that of a double link, in Li Guoyao's opinion, it is still possible to deal with those backward Japanese fighters. After all, the difference between the two types of equipment is more than half a century.

    "Buzz buzz"

    The huge airflow from the propeller of the aircraft blew the smoke over the battlefield flying in all directions. After dropping aerial bombs one after another, these Japanese fighter planes had to increase their flight altitude and then conduct a second dive bombing.

    However, just as they raised the nose of the plane and prepared to ascend, the soldiers of the air defense battalion ambushing behind the battlefield opened fire.

    "Bang bang bang"

    The unique sound of the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun sounded on the battlefield again. It was somewhat similar to a mortar, but it was much lighter than the sound of a mortar.

    24 anti-aircraft machine guns fired at the same time, instantly forming 24 tongues of flame in the sky. Those Japanese aircraft were fatally struck just as they tried to raise their fuselage.

    Since the Fang Kong Regiment had already fought against the Little Japanese fighter planes in Quanjiao before, it can be considered that it has a lot of actual combat experience, so all the officers and soldiersThey were all calm. Although they were extremely excited when they fired, their hands were very steady.

    The anti-aircraft regiment achieved good results in the first round of shooting. Three Japanese planes were broken up in the air and two more planes were damaged. In the first round, five Japanese fighter planes were destroyed.

    This time, the Japs only dispatched a total of 18 fighter planes. Unexpectedly, nearly one-third of them were destroyed in the first encounter, and the remaining Japanese troops had not yet figured out what was going on.

    Lieutenant Colonel Yamashita was a little confused. What happened just now was really weird. They didn't even see how the other party attacked, but they found that three Imperial Type 96 bombers exploded in the air, and there were two more that were dragging them.  Black smoke flew towards Nanjing.

    Fortunately, Nanjing is not very far from here, and the injured parts of the two fighter planes are still on the wings, so they should be able to survive until they return.

    Lieutenant Colonel Yamashita was inexplicably horrified. He did not see clearly what weapon the man was using. It was probably not an anti-aircraft gun, but more like a machine gun.

    But he knew the power of machine guns. Not to mention ordinary light machine guns and heavy machine guns, even anti-aircraft machine guns would not have such great power. What kind of weapon did that person use? It could actually have an impact on the empire's sky warriors.  Such a big threat.

    "Cancel the ultra-low-altitude flight order, drop bombs freely at a safe altitude, and throw all the aerial bombs down!" Lieutenant Colonel Yamashita roared crazily.

    But Yamashita obviously underestimated the air defense regiment, or the performance of the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun.

    The height of 2000-3000 meters is indeed a safe height for anti-aircraft machine guns in this era, but for the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun, even 5000 meters is still its attack range, and it is also an effective range with a very high hit rate.

    Moreover, the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun is an air defense weapon developed for more advanced jet aircraft. Although the air defense effect of this anti-aircraft machine gun is very average for jet aircraft, for the old-fashioned skinned aircraft of the Japanese army, it is  It's like hitting a wooden shield with a heavy machine gun, the effect is self-evident.

    After the Japanese aircraft raised their altitude again, Hu Zhong immediately ordered the troops to adjust their shooting heights and conduct cross-firing in pairs.

    Just as the little Japs were preparing to drop bombs a second time after reaching the so-called safe height, they did not expect that the air defense battalion on the ground opened fire again!

    "Bang bang bang"

    24 anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the crossfire formed a line of defense over the battlefield. The only thirteen remaining Japanese fighter planes suffered another devastating blow at what they thought was a safe height, and three more were shot down.  Wounded.

    So far, 6 of the 18 fighter planes sent by the Japanese army have been shot down, 6 have been damaged, and only 6 are intact.

    However, even the Japanese fighter planes that were not shot down were frightened half to death at this time. They encountered a damn ghost. They were bombers. How could they be like shooting fixed targets? The defenders were destroyed after just two firings.  Having lost two-thirds of their combat power, Lieutenant Colonel Yamashita, who was lucky enough not to be shot down, was shocked. He no longer dared to stay over the battlefield. He did not even have time to order the remaining aircraft to drop their bombs, and immediately ordered a return flight.

    In fact, without orders from Lieutenant Commander Yamashita, the remaining Japanese fighter planes had already raised their flight altitude by a large amount again, just for fear of being shot down by the Chinese defenders on the ground. This altitude was no longer suitable for dropping bombs, and the effect of dropping them was unknown.  No, it's a waste of ammunition.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
