Chapter 1167: Bad Air Defense
The appearance of this low-altitude reconnaissance plane was regarded by the vast number of military and civilians as a provocation, while the officers regarded it as a harbinger of future air strikes. In short, the plane had to be beaten down.
However, the Soviet army, with a total strength of 15,000 troops, was spread over a large area, and the current troops in the blacksmith village, although the largest number, were only about 5,000 people.
At present, the troops are also in a state of three-level combat readiness, that is, the ammunition and firearms are separated, and only some units that are trained in live ammunition have ammunition in their hands.
The appearance of the plane alarmed too many people, and the soldiers rushed to the ammunition depot to collect the ammunition, especially the machine gunners, who went to pick up the MG34 cartridge box with a chain of 300 rounds, and in this situation, it was a good time for the MG34 to play its essence as an anti-aircraft machine gun!
The strange noise in the sky made Podovich very angry, and now he can only look at the blue sky and stomp his feet and curse!
Since the crash of his car, he has been completely idle. Such an excellent pilot cannot be used as an ordinary soldier. However, there were no new planes left for the troops to operate, so he and several technicians were transferred to the blacksmith village. Podovich also has some abilities outside of flying airplanes, such as repairing machinery and repairing machine guns, and he can even drive trucks, so he can temporarily do what he can as a technical consultant for the arsenal.
Doing these tinkering things is not his liking at all, this is a man who longs for blue skies.
"Since forty-nine of my comrades-in-arms have fallen, I have to shoot down forty-nine enemy planes to avenge you!"
These dreams of his have become almost impossible to achieve with the wreck of his car.
Standing in the empty field outside the arsenal, he raised his arms to shoot, and shouted even more loudly.
His actions drew the resentment of the former aircraft mechanic who smoked.
"Hey! What are you yelling about! Don't rub it any further, let's go to the weapon and get the machine gun! ”
"Nothing! Damn it, if my fighter is not finished, this enemy aircraft will not dare to make another attempt. ”
"What's the use of saying that?! Could it be that we still need to build an airplane?! ”
"Forget it! It may be possible to build a wooden glider that can fly, but I don't want to fight anymore. Podovich spat and looked at the buzzing black shadow: "I have a few records as a pilot!" What use do I have now? I'm living a real life. ”
His whining pilot Sergei heard it clearly: "Forget it, you are at least alive, as long as you live you have a chance." When our army counterattacks on all fronts, you will be able to fly planes to fight sooner or later, and even be the squadron leader! ”
"It depends on the ability of our commander Berekov, maybe I can really be the squadron leader of our 63rd Army Army Army?! If I live to see that day. ”
The arsenal was responsible for modifying a large number of captured MG34s, that is, modifying the barrel structure and spring strength, thereby reducing the rate of fire and allowing for longer fire continuity in real combat. Now the arsenal still has more than a hundred to be refitted, and they are just in time to be used as anti-aircraft machine guns.
The Arsenal also stocked some standard heavy machine gun rounds, which were used to test the effectiveness of modified guns.
Podovich and his men quickly got their weapons, and he quickly shoved the chain into the chamber of the gun, propped the bipod on a wooden shelf, pulled the bolt, took aim at the target, and began to shoot.
The sound of the machine gun was like tearing sackcloth, and the short, sharp burst fire was actually more than a dozen bullets. There are also some green tracer bullets in the chain, and even in the morning, these "green lasers" are clearly visible.
At this moment, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Soviet army has increased a lot, and in the face of increasingly fierce resistance, the German pilot Paul also began to run away.
After all, this is a reconnaissance aircraft, and it is set to fly at a slower speed, and the climb speed is even worse.
Most of the bullets whizzed past the plane, and Paul panicked when he saw the green flashes around him. "Oops, this is our weapon, if we get hit by these, I'm really finished!"
Suddenly, there was a strange shaking of the body, and Paul knew that he must have been shot. He looked at the wings on both sides in horror, and was shocked to see that there were more than a dozen terrifying holes in the left wing! The only thing that made him happy was that the wings of this plane were made of aluminum alloy after all, and the bullet could only drill a hole like a punch machine, and could not cause much damage.
He knows that the vulnerable part of the plane is still the nose, where the engines and fuel tanks are located!
"Oh! Bless me, O God! Don't try to hit me, these damned Russians! ”
In contrast to the frantic strafing of other machine gunners, Podovich maintained a rhythmic burst of fire. That's what he did when he flew the fighter, believing it to be the key to his ability to shoot down enemy planes. In fact, it was he who caused the damage to the reconnaissance plane in the first place.
Moving away from the plane, Podovich's shots gradually failed.
"Damn! This is a new type of aircraft, maybe it is equipped with armor, and our bullets can't penetrate it yet! Unless, we have here a real anti-aircraft machine gun of 14.5 mm caliber! ”
His complaint could only become a whining, and the pilot Sergei inserted a cigarette into the barrel heat dissipation hole, and soon a puff of green smoke came out. "Stop complaining, smoke a cigarette to suppress the fright. Look around you, it's full of bullet shells! And this barrel, this cigarette is burned by the barrel! ”
In this era, the Soviet air defense forces achieved great results in shooting down enemy planes in the defense of Moscow, and finally only 300 of the 8,000 bombers used by the German army to bomb Moscow flew over the city of Moscow. During the battle, the air defense forces simply shot down 900 German aircraft!
Such results were achieved thanks to the relatively good anti-aircraft weapons of the Soviet army. This is the era when the VT fuse is about to be invented, and although anti-aircraft guns can kill a bomber in seconds with a hit, the rate of fire is still too slow. The Soviet army was equipped with four or even eight 12.7 mm Deshka heavy machine guns, which could achieve lethal damage to enemy aircraft.
Some anti-aircraft aircraft with a caliber of up to 14.5 mm after the magic change have even the same ammunition as anti-tank grabbing, and in war, it is not inappropriate to use anti-tank anti-aircraft shooting to grab anti-aircraft fire.
And that's exactly what Natasha is doing.
When there was a strange buzzing sound in the sky, the majority of the children in the junior camp who were training stopped shooting. They searched for voices and held their heads high, searching for suspicious targets in the blue sky.
"It's like an airplane, is it an enemy reconnaissance plane?" Kharkov guessed vigilantly.
Natasha was even more alert: "Maybe it's a reconnaissance plane!" Oops, the enemy is trying to bomb us with bombers! ”
As soon as he heard this, Kharkov immediately panicked.
"We ...... We must take down the enemy planes! Assemble and get ready to shoot in the air! ”
The junior battalion reacted quite quickly, and when that reconnaissance plane appeared, anti-aircraft shooting began. The scene was a bit chaotic, and a large number of young soldiers relied on their training bullets in the chamber of their guns to shoot, but they did not achieve anything, and the bullets skipped behind the target, and finally only heard a sound.
Natasha remained calm, and now the only weapon that could knock the plane off the plane was that weapon.
The girl glanced at the strong Igor, and then at the anti-tank that had put it aside for the time being, the barrel of the gun was snatched by the cloth sheath......
