Chapter 284: Hit One Get One Free
The results speak for themselves. X
Even if there is no experience in fighting "airplanes", but at such a close distance, it is almost like putting the plane under the muzzle, and the five machine gun shooters who have not fired a single bullet for two days swept out nearly 200 rounds of ammunition in one go.
Liu Lang, who was on the position thousands of meters away, did not have any pressure, but Tang Yongming and several major battalion commanders were nervously holding binoculars and paying attention.
If you don't pay attention, you can't do it! There were two big guys hanging under the wings of those two Japanese soldiers. No one could see the bells and whistles of the bells and whistles worn by the independent regiment rolling through the withered grass, but the dark blue clothes of the 2000 men under their hands were too conspicuous. The four big guys threw them down, even if the big guys were far away, and they were all hiding in foxholes or ravines, but dozens of dead and wounded would definitely not be able to escape.
This is a very optimistic estimate, and during the Battle of Rehe, there was a case of a regiment being strafed back and forth several times by a Japanese plane, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded.
At the moment when the Japanese plane flew to the top of the hill, a few tongues of fire suddenly swept out of the woods on the top of the mountain, and a plane trembled a few times in the field of vision of several ** school officers, and a thick white smoke came out, and it flew forward for less than two seconds, becoming a ball of fire, and then exploded into a fireball, which was more brilliant than the fireworks set off during the New Year.
"Boom" followed by a loud bang.
The loud noise that can be heard by everyone thousands of meters away is naturally not a simple aircraft explosion, in fact, even if the MG42 is very bullish, five machine guns are gathered in one place to sweep the fuel tank of the plane piloted by Hanase Nakata and the second lieutenant in the front, making it a fireball in the strong wind, and the propeller aircraft with a relatively simple structure cannot blow up such a brilliant color.
In fact, the explosion on the wings of the Japanese aircraft was caused by the explosion of an aerial bomb that had not yet been dropped, and what was the experience of an aerial bomb exploding in the air with nearly 200 kilograms?
The one who realized the most was probably not Hanase Zhonghe, who let out the last exclamation, who was knocked into a sieve by a dozen bullets and fell into a deep coma the moment the plane was swept away.
The plane, which could fly seventy or eighty meters away every second, had already flown nearly 200 meters at the moment of the explosion, but the air wave of the aerial bomb still swept down the trees on the top of the mountain, and if it were not for the protection of fortifications, several machine gun shooters would definitely be thrown high by the air wave and become the last victims of the independent regiment in this battle.
Rao was like this, and several machine gun shooters were also bleeding from their ears with a loud noise, and they almost became deaf.
Even the soldiers who were hiding in the tunnel were so shocked that they even thought that the Japanese planes had dropped bombs overhead.
The initiator was unlucky, but Tomo Uranaka, who had the deepest experience, actually had the most right to speak.
The daring shooters who were shocked by the huge air wave did not even have time to shoot at him, because they were afraid of drinking the northwest wind, the five machine gun shooters decided to concentrate their firepower on the next one to ensure that there was white rice at night, so it was unlucky to neutralize the Hanase flying in the front, and half of the hundreds of bullets fired by the five machine guns in an instant were left on his plane.
But by no means that Uranaka Yuo escaped this catastrophe. It's so miserable on the ground at a distance of 100 meters from the air, let alone in the air.
Seeing the wingman a hundred meters away in front of him explode into a ball of salutes, Uranaka Tomoo's face not only changed, but was extremely frightened.
In his field of vision, it was not only the wingman that exploded, but also the clouds in front of him. I am afraid that the ups and downs are not enough to describe the changes in the sky in Lieutenant Pu's field of vision.
It's just that the high speed of the explosion didn't give Lieutenant Pu Zhong time to think about the idiom at all. Like a small wooden ship sailing on the vast sea and encountering a Category 12 typhoon, the Type 4 fighter lasted only two seconds before completely disintegrating.
Tomo Uranaka and the fragments of his plane fell along with the valley behind the ancient mountain.
No one knows what Tomo Uranaka was thinking at the last moment of his life, and it shouldn't be a good mood to go bungee jumping without a safety rope.
The star pilot of the Japanese army, who had already been smashed into a ball of meat sauce when he landed, did not have to worry about feeding his body to the beasts in the mountains, and the violent explosion caused by the two aerial bombs that landed completely blew him into flying ashes, and it was impossible to find even a piece larger than a fingernail to represent a human body.
In fact, for a long time after this battle, the Japanese Kwantung Army could not determine the location of the two fighters, and the independent regiment cleaned the battlefield very patiently, and collected all the parts that could represent the slightly larger identity of the Japanese aircraft.
Liu Lang didn't want the commander of the Eighth Division to know that the Independent Regiment had the strength to shoot down planes, at least not before the battle.
The two Japanese Army Air Corps planes could only be judged missing in the records of the Kwantung Army for a month, and some bold and radical army leaders even believed that the two air captains had defected to the enemy.
Because no one can believe that two fighters will crash together, it is as incredible as two being shot down by the squadron at the same time.
Typical death is not blind, for two Japanese air forces with dreams of loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.
Although the two unlucky Japanese pilots were sad, they were naturally ecstatic for the machine gun shooters who dared to die on the ancient mountain.
In order to eat white rice, the shooters didn't expect to bring such a buy one get one free, not only the mutton hot pot is available, but there is also a record of a Japanese plane in the merit book, which is too important for the soldiers of the Death Company who are extremely eager to change their former identities with military exploits.
"Commander Liu, I'm convinced, I'm really convinced, the brothers of the Independent Regiment just want it, and they knocked down both planes at once." Tang Yongming could only express his admiration for Liu Lang with heartfelt admiration.
In just a few seconds, two Japanese planes were smashed to pieces, which is almost beyond the reach of a bull.
Zhou Shiyu's luck on the dog day was really good, and Yu Xiancheng couldn't help but wipe his sweat.
At the same time, the two lieutenant generals and one general who received Liu Lang's telegram had been in a daze for more than ten minutes with the telegram in his hand.
"Independent Regiment of the Second Division of the Central Army? Where did it come from? Admiral He stayed for a while and asked Xiong Bin, the director of the general staff headquarters of the committee, who was also incredulous.
"This was established according to the principal's decree, and the head of the regiment was Liu Lang, who won the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War last year." Xiong Bin obviously did some homework on the independent regiment.
"Liu Lang? Oh, I remember that kid, Liu Xiang's cousin-in-law, was promoted to colonel for accumulating merit in the headquarters of the 7th Wing with one shot. He Yingqin nodded suddenly and remembered the little person Liu Lang.
His gaze returned to the telegram and said, "Director Xiong, how credible do you think this telegram is?" ”
"It's a bit unbelievable, it's unbelievable that one brigade of the enemy was completely annihilated, or three regiments were accomplished. But who would dare to falsify such a thing? Xiong Bin replied with a toothache.
"The closest to Luo Wenyu is Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army, and the troops participating in the battle also mentioned the two regiments under his command, so that Song Zheyuan was quickly verified. If this matter is false, the consequences of lying about the military situation do not matter whether he is an anti-Japanese hero or not. He Yingqin frowned.
From the bottom of his heart, this bigwig of the Ministry of Military Affairs never dared to think that the 4th Brigade would really be completely annihilated.
