Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1135

Chapter 1135: For the sake of brothers, let's stop pretending and let's show off!

Li Jiujin's prediction was absolutely correct!

The focus of the Japanese heavy artillery attack was Highland 209.1.

After the Japanese artillery test firing, the ground on Highland 209.1 was no longer exploding with artillery shells one by one, but a large area.

There are less than 5,000 square meters of positions on high ground in 209.1. If only one missile falls on it, nearly one-tenth of the area will be covered by shells, let alone four artillery shells in one salvo.

Looking this way from the tunnel hundreds of meters away, you can't see the original appearance of Highland 209.1 at all. You can only see gunpowder smoke, dust and flames.

And people inside it can't actually see what the area they are in actually looks like.

It was a purgatory with fire everywhere, gravel and wood flying everywhere in the gunfire, and terrible air waves that picked up everything on the surface and then slammed it down!

The army sergeant who was still swearing just now didn't care about the curse now. He was shaking like he was sitting in the shell hole of a boat in the rough sea. The only thing he could do now was to cover his ears with his hands and huddle up. Lie on the ground and use your elbows to prevent your chest and abdomen from touching the ground.

Otherwise, even if the two of them were lucky enough not to be hit by artillery shells in the bunker, the violent concussion caused by the grenade explosion would shock their internal organs and die quietly.

Boss Cao also copied the gourd, which was not trained in the training ground, but one of the life-saving skills taught by the veterans to the recruits. It was gained by the veterans with their lives. If the movements are not standard, the veterans will not get hurt. Scolding, if you don't value your own life, then who can you blame?

The postures of the two people are very correct, but as for whether they can survive, it only depends on God.

However, it was not only the Chinese soldiers on the highlands who suffered in this shelling.

The dozens of remaining Japanese troops who had just been ordered by Li Jiujin to block the retreat with mortar barrages were miserable!

They were too close to the high ground. When the first grenade streaked across the sky and exploded on the hillside, the Chinese artillery fire and machine guns stopped, leaving them with a way to escape.

But, do you have enough time?

In modern times, all artillery has a reasonable error value, which is about 2% to 3% of the range. In other words, at a range of 10,000 meters, the artillery shell will land about 200 meters away from the target, which is reasonable.

Artillery is not a sniper rifle. It is unscientific to expect a cannonball to hit your head when fired from 10 kilometers away.

However, this is the error value given by the major arms dealers in the West who have precision machinery. However, Japan's precision workmanship at that time was a level lower than that of the Western world that had entered the industrial revolution early.

Therefore, the 75MM mountain gun with a range of 6,500 meters has an error value of close to 150 meters, not to mention the 105 howitzer with a range that is nearly twice the difference, which can almost reach 300 meters or even further.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers were running extremely fast, rolling and crawling with all kinds of firearms, like a group of frightened chickens!

Even though they were more than 400 meters away from the top of the mountain at this time, the hot air waves generated by the explosion of the shells two to three hundred meters away still seemed to burn their buttocks.

"Baga, stop all of them, find a bunker to avoid the bullets!" A Japanese second lieutenant roared angrily to stop his subordinates from being stupid.

It is true that the rocks on the hillside can block Chinese bullets and even mortar shrapnel, but in the face of 18 kilograms of projectiles, it is false!

But the key point is that after squeezing out their potential under the crisis, everyone actually came together and moved forward together. With the density of their current personnel, it only takes one shell to fall and hundreds of people will fly together. Almost no one can do it. Survive.

It's better to take a gamble and find bunkers to hide for the time being. Bet that the level of the division's artillery is not that bad and bet that they are lucky enough.

The Japanese Army Second Lieutenant's point of view is actually correct. After all, it is more than 400 meters away from the top of the mountain, right?

But human nature has always been complicated and changeable. Especially when the ground is shaking violently and the air waves are so hot that it burns the buttocks, almost no one still obeys the military orders and continues to rush downward in a swarm.

Let's bet! I want to take my destiny into my own hands! This should be the inner monologue of most Japanese infantrymen.

Brainwashed by the so-called bushido spirit, they have always shouted "board" and launched brave charges against the enemy. The infantrymen known as the Imperial Army of Japan, after losing all their courage in the hail of bullets from Chinese soldiers, faced their own artillery shells. They were just like a group of frightened rats, and their escape speed could completely break the record in the history of the Japanese army.

The expression on Colonel Yokoyamazawa's face was unclear as he looked through the telescope at the battlefield that had been completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke. No one knew whether he was grateful that the defeated soldiers were able to escape quickly enough, or whether he was frightened by the defeated soldiers. He looked extremely angry.

Then, there was still a kind of pretentious style that broke the defense because of a shell on our side with a slightly larger error value.

As if it had eyes, a grenade pierced the sky and hit the bottom of the hillside!

The group of 'ground mice' that were still running wildly were swept up into the sky by the air waves!

In the field of vision of the stiff-faced Japanese Army Colonel through the telescope, many elements are missing from the dynamic picture!

According to statistics from the 62nd Infantry Regiment after the war, as many as 42 Imperial infantrymen were accidentally injured due to howitzer errors!

The power of the 105 howitzer is so terrifying!

While the Japanese artillery fire was still raging, one minute, two minutes, five minutes

Not to mention Highland 209.1, which was the focus of artillery fire, even the high ground hundreds of meters away where Li Jijin was located was trembling.

Sitting in the tunnel behind the high ground, Li Jijin lowered his eyebrows. He pulled out the triangular thorn and placed it on his leg. He wiped it with his own towel over and over again. No one knew what he was thinking, and no one dared. ask.

The second lieutenant of the Sharp Knife Platoon sat at the entrance of the tunnel, looking with red eyes at the small high ground several hundred meters away that was trembling in the firelight.

His Class 4 is there!

Except for the 6 wounded soldiers who were sent back to the rear medical team for rescue, only the 5 were left.

As for the situation of the six wounded soldiers, the health soldiers he sent to inquire had already brought back bad news. Two of them had died due to excessive blood loss before even being able to survive the surgery. The other two people whose limbs were cut off by shrapnel were seriously injured. It was too serious. Although he was bandaged in time, it was still unclear whether he could survive the night.

Then his Class 4 can basically announce the cancellation of its establishment.

In fact, the tunnel entrance is very dangerous. If a cannonball explodes nearby, shrapnel and air waves can cause damage to this area.

But no one dared to pull the second lieutenant platoon leader whose pupils were already red. He just wanted to get closer to his brothers.

But everyone still underestimated Nagano Kameichiro's determination!

Ten minutes later, an air defense alarm sounded at the main position of Niangziguan.

The long cry of "Woo! Woo!" resounded throughout the mountains and fields.

Amid the distant rumble of artillery, the roar of Japanese aircraft engines in the sky gradually reached Tang Dao's ears.

The Japanese army actually dispatched a group of bombers, and the timing was so well connected, which means that they have already formulated a tactical plan!

"Very good! We have such a small high ground. It doesn't matter if the mountain artillery is fired. If the howitzer is fired again, now we actually want to use heavy aerial bombs!" Tang Dao looked up at the sky, reflecting the autumn sun in his eyes. The light is very bright, but there is no warmth.

“Do you really want to see my trump card? Then I'll let you see it!” Tang Dao murmured to himself.

The body was like a solidified statue, but a metallic voice came out: "Order the air defense company positions, no need to reserve strength. As long as the Japanese aircraft group dares to enter the 2000-meter airspace, all anti-aircraft guns will fire with full force. 1600 meters, the anti-aircraft machine guns will fire! 1200 meters, All MG34 heavy machine guns and 12.7mm heavy machine guns on the position are replaced with anti-aircraft machine gun mounts and open fire!”

Cheng Tietsou's heart trembled after receiving Tang Dao's order. The regimental commander was really fired up! Not only were the air defense company's 24 20mm machine guns and 48 12.7mm machine guns required to fire, but the 27 MG34 heavy machine guns carried by the three infantry battalions were also required to fire. This was to weave a bomb net over Niangziguan. ah!

Nagano Kameichiro gave the 62nd Infantry Regiment under his command the greatest support. Not only did he use 4 105 howitzers, but he also personally called Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Saburo Okabe, who was commanding the Shanxi East War, to request 12 fighter planes to drop aerial bombs!

This is because Tang Dao underestimated him, but then Tang Dao made his strongest counterattack. All the anti-aircraft machine guns, heavy machine guns, and machine guns of the Four Lines Regiment that could shoot in the air opened fire with all their strength.

Both China and Japan almost used their most powerful firepower, and all of this was due to a small mountain with an altitude of only 200 meters, a radius of only 5,000 meters, and a defensive force of no more than two infantry squads at its peak!

The Japanese aircraft formation came with a mission this time, but it did not mean that they would launch a low-altitude dive bombing.

All this is because their opponent is the Four Troops, and their commander is Captain Sasaki!

The Japanese aircraft formation did not enter the airspace from north to south, but made a special detour and entered from the direction of the original city, that is, from west to east. This purpose is self-evident, staggering the main battlefield of Niangziguan.

Anyone with some military common sense will place the main air defense force on the main battlefield. After all, the flanks are only auxiliary forces. Moreover, the 12 Japanese planes were divided into three waves, four of which entered the 2,000-meter airspace. Until the first wave of Japanese planes entered the 1,500-meter bombing area, the other two waves of eight Japanese planes were still in the airspace of about 2,000 meters. .

But this is enough!

Tang Tuanzuo said, fire with all your strength! It doesn't matter how many fights his mother has, let's do it first.

This time, the air defense company did not have many tasks to destroy the enemy, and did not need any tactics to show the enemy's weakness. They only needed to prevent Japanese planes from dropping heavy aerial bombs on their own positions.

If you have the ability, just drop the bomb in the rain of bombs. Either you will throw the bomb and get out, or you will be hit and exploded together with the aerial bomb.

There are as many as 4 air defense positions 1,000 meters away from the flanking high ground, consisting of 8 20mm anti-aircraft guns and 16 12.7mm heavy machine guns. The firepower of these 4 air defense positions is already comparable to the previous four lines. The entire regiment's anti-aircraft firepower was strong, not to mention supplemented by the MG34 heavy machine guns and 12.7 mm heavy machine guns set up on several highlands of the third battalion.

“Hit!” followed an order.

In the sky on the flanking high ground, clearly visible streaks of red whips were waving across the sky!

The four Japanese aircraft that bore the brunt were like frightened little rabbits. They immediately dropped the bombs under the belly of the aircraft, turned the rudder to the right, turned the fuselage sideways, and fled away from the battlefield.

With the current maximum speed of propeller-driven aircraft being only 360 kilometers, if you want to escape from such powerful anti-aircraft firepower, unless Amaterasu really appears.

●The smoke formed by the 'explosion bombs' is like mushrooms that suddenly grow in the air, but the fragments that cannot be seen by the naked eye can extend the destructive power to more than 20 meters away.

The two Japanese planes were unable to hold on at first. Thick black smoke came out of the tail of the plane. The Japanese plane whose speed dropped below 300 kilometers was finally bitten by a 12.7mm machine gun that could shoot up to 1800 meters. The thick machine gun bullets were not Maxim. That 7.92mm bullet, with a muzzle velocity of up to 900 meters per second and a thick warhead, can even penetrate a 7mm steel plate. It only takes a dozen rounds to punch large holes visible to the naked eye in the body.

The two Japanese planes made a weird scream, and in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers on the ground who looked in pain and fear, they hit the mountain and erupted into two bright **** of fire.

The other two were not much better. They were hit by machine gun fragments while climbing to escape. They dragged two smoke ribbons and fled southward in embarrassment.

This scene was even seen by Chinese and Japanese officers and soldiers of the 921st Division, 104th Division, 18th Division, and 21st Division who were still fighting fiercely.

In other words, the two Japanese pilots who had fled for tens of kilometers finally woke up. There was still a war zone over there, and they quickly turned and continued HD to escape in the direction of Xingtai. Otherwise, the Chinese troops on the ground would not mind beating up the drowned dogs.

Although the 921st Division does not have a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, the 683rd Brigade secretly possesses six Oerlikon 20mm machine guns that Tang Dao secretly sent to him. It was difficult to shoot Japanese aircraft at an altitude of 2,000 meters, but the attack was due to engine damage. The power is weak and the speed can only reach an altitude of 1,000 meters, but the Japanese aircraft with a speed of 260 kilometers per hour should not be too relaxed.

The two 96 fighter jets with a full fuel range of only 600 kilometers seemed to have avoided the ground firepower of the Chinese soldiers while circling around, but they wasted nearly 100 kilometers of flight. This was really bad.

They still have HD and Xingtai in their hands, but they do not have an airport. The nearest airport is in Baoding, 200 kilometers away.

The plane can still fly, but there is not enough fuel.

What? Crash landing?

In a wheat field or on a road?

Wheat fields There are many roads on the North China Plain, but there are too few, especially standard roads that can accommodate fighter jets with speeds of more than 200 kilometers.

Poverty is China's flaw in winning this war, but at this time it has also become the despair of Japanese pilots.

The two Japanese planes that ran out of fuel had to make an emergency landing in the fields. The two Japanese planes that had no bombs and fuel did not explode, but this does not mean that the Japanese pilots could save their lives.

Two unlucky children, one drowned alive because the nose of the plane plunged into a pond, and the other was a high-speed taxiing plane that encountered a field. The whole body jumped high and then had a fight with the earth to see who could win.

The nose of the plane was not as hard as the ground, and the pilot's head was obviously a bit worse. The flight hat, which was only used to keep warm, did not provide much protection. The whole head seemed to be pinched by the six door panels of the aircraft, and it was so flat that the Japanese soldiers who came to collect the body were The gendarmerie couldn't find a suitable container to load it into.

However, the loss of 4 Japanese aircraft and the death of 4 Japanese pilots were by no means the last losses of the Japanese North China Front Army Provisional Aviation Regiment this time.

Captain Sasaki's reaction was already extremely fast. He had already given the order when the air was full of "little mushrooms", and the fleet immediately dropped the heavy bombs and left low altitude.

He has escaped from the anti-air firepower of the Fourth Line Regiment countless times. He knows that the maximum height of the Anti-aircraft Firepower of the Four Lines Regiment is only a little over 2,000 meters. At the current height of their eight fighters, as long as they can quickly raise it, there will be no big problem.

This is a misjudgment caused by habit. In the past, it was only a little over 2,000 meters. That was because the firing height of the Oerlikon single-barreled machine gun was that high. However, the four-line regiment is currently equipped with 20mm Suloton twin-mounted machine guns. , although the 12.7mm heavy machine gun of the American cowboys has a shooting height of 1800 meters, that does not mean that the metal bullet will fall down when it reaches 1800 meters.

What's even more deadly is that Captain Sasaki's name as the "Tiansha Lone Star" resounded throughout the entire Provisional Aviation Regiment. Seeing him Xia Jiba dropped the bomb and raised it, regardless of whether the bomb was dropped on the Chinese head or his own head. The "upright" Japanese pilots expressed disdain.

Especially, visible to the naked eye, there are still many Chinese people active on the high ground below. How could the great Imperial Army Air Force pilots be so cowardly?

Still, two Japanese planes did not rise but landed instead. Not only did they break through the clouds and fog and lowered to an altitude of 1,300 meters, they even pulled the triggers of their machine guns. A series of whips fired out clouds of smoke on several mountain tops of the Third Battalion.

A heavy aerial bomb landed less than 30 meters below a high ground, shaking the ground for a while.

This is really a good guy. The four anti-aircraft positions and the 12.7mm heavy machine guns and MG34 machine guns belonging to the third battalion that were just chasing them all aimed at these two heroic Japanese planes!

"These two idiots!" Sasaki glanced melancholy at the two companions who were "fighting bravely" below him, and decisively ordered: "All the bombs have been dropped, the mission is over, let's go!"

“But, Captain Sasaki, Inoshitkun and the others.” The voice coming from the wireless intercom hesitated to speak.

"My mission is to bring disaster to the Chinese and bring outstanding young men home. Inoshitkun and others, let them be loyal to the empire!" Sasaki's slightly vicissitudes of voice sounded on the radio.

“Bring the good boys home!” later became a catchphrase of the Provisional Aviation Group.

But everyone knows that the most gorgeous coats and the best ones used to escape have actually been left on the battlefield!

The two Japanese planes were exploded by eight machine guns and more than 20 heavy machine guns of various types in the second minute after the six Japanese fighter planes left quickly, turning into brilliant fireworks that stung Colonel Yokoyamazawa's pupils.

But the ground-to-air battle cannot determine the outcome on the ground. At most, it can sprinkle some pepper on the **** wounds of the Japanese.

This battle for the highlands, after the end of the air combat and artillery bombardment, reached the final decisive moment.

The Japanese sirens and the iron whistles of the Fourth Army Regiment sounded almost at the same time.

Nearly 200 Japanese troops, including 40 men from the 7th Company, almost all rushed towards the battlefield still shrouded in smoke from 500 meters away!

Except for the second lieutenant platoon leader of the 7th Company's Sharp Sword Platoon, and Zhou Dapeng, whose heart was filled with sadness, no one thought that anyone could survive on that position.

But the miracle happened tragically like this.

In the smoke of gunpowder, a figure whose whole body was burnt black moved!

PS: Brothers, take a day off tomorrow! Tomorrow I will drive to Jiangnan. The whole journey is 800 kilometers and takes 10 hours. Do you have any brothers from Jiangnan? Let's make an appointment for dinner!
