In the radar control room of the 'Beijing' aircraft carrier, the black dot representing the Japanese attack aircraft group was getting closer and closer to the formation, and everyone's faces showed a solemn look. Because, the next air defense battle will completely decide the orders of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

As the commander-in-chief Liu Hua, it is impossible not to be nervous. However, even so, Liu Hua's face always showed a calm and confident look.

Seeing the people with different expressions behind him, in order to boost everyone's morale, Liu Hua asked directly.

"Commander Chen, seeing that everyone is so nervous, you can first introduce to you the anti-aircraft firepower of my escort naval fleet, so that everyone can have a bottom in their hearts...."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."

Liu Hua asked himself this question at this time when the Japanese army was pressing, and the smart Chen Shaokuan immediately understood the reason and said directly.

"Commander-in-Chief, comrades. Not counting some of the anti-aircraft weapons that the individual ships added on their own. Our "Beijing" aircraft carrier is equipped with a total of 17 quadruple 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns and 56 single-barreled 20-mm Erley anti-aircraft guns. It can be said that once all these anti-aircraft weapons are fired, all the airspace within a radius of 3,000 meters, with the aircraft carrier as the center, will be shrouded in a rain of bullets.

"On the cruiser side, each light cruiser was armed with four quadruple 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns, six twin 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns, and 10 single 20-mm Erley anti-aircraft guns....a total of four light cruisers escorted around the aircraft carrier. It is enough to ensure that the aircraft carrier is the center. All airspace within a radius of five kilometers is within the striking range of our fleet's anti-aircraft fire.

"Let's talk about the dozen or so destroyers around and the dozens of gunboats that act as makeshift firefighters: each destroyer is armed with three quadruple 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns, and 20 single-barreled 20-mm Erly guns. Each gunboat was armed with two quadruple 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns, 10 single-barreled 20-mm Erly anti-aircraft guns...."

"You can think about it, with so many ships covered in hedgehogs roaming around our perimeter, what else do we have to worry about?"

"In addition, I can tell him for sure that what I just told you is only about the anti-aircraft weapons of the warship itself. In order to cope with the possible air strikes launched by the Japanese army, we have increased the number of army anti-aircraft artillery by one-third of the original anti-aircraft fire on each ship, so as to make the air defense density of our fleet. That's a one-third increase due to..."

After Chen Shaokuan's introduction, everyone was moved. The people who were worried just now immediately showed a look of expectation on their faces. Looking forward to the tragic scene after the Japanese plane crashed into me on such a dense anti-aircraft fire network.

At this moment, Liu Hua spoke again: "Comrades, what Commander Chen said just now is only the air defense weapons equipped on each ship. Now, I would like to ask the Chief of Staff to tell you about the anti-aircraft equipment carried on ten 10,000-ton transport ships ...."

"Commander-in-Chief, Commander Chen, comrades. At the request of the commander-in-chief, before departure, we fixed two anti-aircraft artillery regiments on each transport ship. Among them was a 36-gun M290-mm heavy anti-aircraft artillery regiment. A 54-gun Bovers 40-mm light anti-aircraft artillery regiment. ”

"That is, in addition to the anti-aircraft fire on the warships, our ten transport ships are equipped with a full nine hundred large-caliber anti-aircraft guns."

"In addition, in addition to anti-aircraft guns, we should not forget the American Browning heavy machine guns that are in the hands of the army. It should be clear that every Browning heavy machine gun that we are equipped with, with its effective range of up to two thousand meters, can be used as an anti-aircraft machine gun in an airspace of two thousand meters. form an impenetrable network of anti-aircraft fire...."

"Large-caliber anti-aircraft guns with a range of 10,000 meters, 40-mm Bofos anti-aircraft guns and Bofors guns with a range of more than 5,000 meters, 20-mm Erlikong guns with a range of more than 2,000 meters, and several thousand Browning heavy machine guns that can dominate the entire battlefield within 2,000 meters..."

"Comrades, count it that way. We were able to deploy four dense anti-aircraft fire nets throughout the fleet. And our adversary, the little devils, want to attack our ships during the movement of our fleet. There is only one possibility, and that is to break through these four anti-aircraft fire networks and carry out a dive attack. However, with just a hundred bombers of the little devils, is it possible. Therefore, all of us must have confidence in this air defense battle...."Zuo Quan said affirmatively.

After the explanation of the two people, everyone's faces unconsciously showed a confident look. Liu Hua also felt that at this moment, the 'military heart is available' did not hesitate, and ordered directly and decisively.

"The battle is about to begin, time is pressing, all personnel, immediately enter the combat position....Commander Chen, ordered all ships, according to the original air defense plan, each ship must defend its own air defense range. Once the first line of anti-aircraft fire network is breached, the follow-up anti-aircraft fire will be immediately replenished. ”

"Although, theoretically, as long as the Japanese bombers did not deliver low-altitude bombs, it was impossible to hit our ships in motion. However, if you are not afraid of anything, you are afraid of 10,000. We must do everything we can so that the Japanese bombers do not break through the two-thousand-meter anti-aircraft fire network ...."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

sp; "Buzz buzz..."A huge engine roar slowly reached everyone's ears from far and near. The defense line in the northwest of the entire formation, more than a hundred faint black spots, finally appeared in everyone's telescope....

"Radar soldiers, immediately determine the elevation of the Japanese bomber group...."Seeing that the long-awaited Japanese aircraft group finally arrived. While Liu Hua was excited, he decisively ordered....

"At an altitude of 5,000 meters, it is completely within the range of the M290 mm heavy anti-aircraft gun and the Bofos 40 mm light anti-aircraft gun..."

For a while, everyone's faces showed a smile of long-lost expectation. Commander Chen Shaokuan of the Navy said directly: "Commander-in-chief, the little devil must think that we are not equipped with any other air defense weapons except for ship-based air defense weapons. Otherwise, the whole fleet would not have just been out of range of shipborne anti-aircraft weapons ...."

"Hmm...."Liu Hua's face also showed an expectant smile and said.

"The little devil did a lot of calculations, but he didn't count that we also fixed a large number of land anti-aircraft artillery on the transport ship and various ships. However, such a low-altitude flight is just a good lesson for us to teach the little devil pilots, and the army anti-aircraft artillery can also be used on warships, so let them pay us some tuition first,..."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were all focused on him, Liu Hua ordered directly.

"Order, all heavy anti-aircraft guns and army light anti-aircraft guns, as soon as the Japanese aircraft group sails into the sky directly above our fleet, launch an attack and take the Japanese aircraft group by surprise...."

Hearing Liu Hua's order, Chen Shaokuan, who had just been a little embarrassed about Liu Hua's direct takeover of the air defense command, immediately became admired and shocked.

Only when the Japanese aircraft group is directly above the fleet will the density of anti-aircraft fire that they can hit in a short period of time be the largest, and at the same time, the Japanese aircraft group will be attacked for the longest time, and correspondingly, the results they can achieve will be the greatest......

While shocking Liu Hua's vicious eyes, Commander Chen Shaokuan immediately conveyed Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's final combat order to the ears of every officer and soldier participating in the battle word for word through the radio station....

"Buzz...."

In the blink of an eye, a group of more than 100 fighters flew over the formation like a dark cloud. According to the tactics of war, the Japanese aircraft group did not immediately attack, maintained a tight formation, and began to skim over the formation, on the one hand, to hit the morale of the opponent, and on the other hand, to look for a breakthrough......,

Looking at the group of Japanese planes above his head that was getting closer and closer to the formation, Chen Shaokuan's hands scooping up the wireless telephone microphone couldn't help but tremble. And just when the Japanese fighter plane flying at the forefront had just swept directly above the formation. Chen Shaokuan's order was directly transmitted to the ears of all officers and men participating in the battle through the radio.

"Start attacking..."

"Knock knock knock..." As soon as Chen Shaokuan's words fell, together with the various anti-aircraft guns specially reinforced on each ship, more than 1,300 anti-aircraft guns, all let out an angry roar.

The Army's anti-aircraft guns, which had a rate of fire of 30 rounds per minute, fired more than 3,000 shells into the middle of the dense Japanese attack cluster in just five seconds.

Suddenly, the smoke from the explosion of a group of artillery shells quickly resounded between the Japanese formations. As for the dense formations of the Japanese army, all those who were touched by artillery shells, without exception, were all hit into the airspace and exploded.

Suddenly, the sound of artillery shells, explosions in the airspace of aircraft, and the roar of engines quickly intertwined. In just the blink of an eye, dozens of huge fireballs rang out in the middle of the dense formation of the Japanese army......

Just now, it was still a tight flight formation, facing a sudden ground strike. In order to survive, in order to dodge the dense rain of shells around him, it immediately became chaos. The fighter plane that was lucky not to be hit, and regardless of any order, directly pulled up the fuselage and increased the power of the aircraft to the maximum, wanting to get rid of the range of ground anti-aircraft fire as soon as possible......

More than a hundred fighters, like frightened rabbits, quickly fled in all directions....
