Chapter Forty-Four: Just an Air Defense Company!

Zhao Jiayu.

In the morning.

Fumino, the commander of the air defense company of the independent regiment, walked out of the room and prepared for the daily training of the troops.

With the large-scale construction of the base area, the independent regiment was faced with an increasing demand for air defense, and after feeling the price of shooting down the devil's plane in the air, Li Yunlong exchanged it for a large number of air defense weapons and carried out a large-scale expansion of the air defense company.

The requirements for air defense shooters are high, and although the independent regiment itself can come up with so many excellent machine gunners, this will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the three main battalions, so Commander Li Da rolled his eyes and paid attention to the new 1st regiment and the new 2nd regiment.

He knew very well that the loss of key personnel during the sweep of the two regiments was very small.

So, he telegraphed to Kong Jie and Ding Wei, saying that he planned to help the two regiments form an air defense company to deal with the future bombing by devils, and asked the two to send excellent shooters to come over to study.

Grand Master Li has a clear heart.

Although Kong Jie and Ding Wei have earned this matter, and they have earned a lot, he himself is definitely made by blood.

The two of them must be elite machine gun shooters, the top ones, these guys have extremely high shooting talents, and have a certain level of education, can quickly master anti-air shooting, and cooperate with each other tacitly, and can efficiently compile anti-air firepower networks.

It would not take much weaponry to help the new 1st and 2nd regiments form an air defense company, and weapons and ammunition would be dozens of tons at most, but if you shoot down a devil fighter, it will be 2,500 tons of food and 150 tons of weapons and ammunition.

As long as you shoot down one, you will make a small profit, and if you shoot down two, you will make a lot of money.

This group of shooters, if you want to say that three months of training time, you can't kill two devil planes, then Li Yunlong can't believe it.

Moreover, during the training period, the independent regiment will equip these shooters with shooting squads, and they can also take the opportunity to train excellent shooter seedlings, and after several actual battles, the problem of insufficient shooters will be completely solved.

Another earning head!

Ding Wei and Kong Jie naturally knew that Li Yunlong would not be so kind.

He provided them with weapons, equipment, and ammunition to form an air defense company, and also trained them to be anti-aircraft shooters; even if the three regiments were now one base area, it would be absolutely impossible for Li Yunlong to do such a good thing as a good person.

But after thinking about it, they were taking advantage anyway, and they wouldn't suffer a loss no matter how they thought about it, so the two didn't dig deeper, and immediately organized dozens of excellent machine gun shooters to be sent to the independent regiment.

The end result was that the size of the air defense company was once again expanded.

"What the fuck..."

"It's still a company."

Wen Ye looked at the air defense company gathered in front of him, although only half of it, and the remaining half were on guard on the air defense position, but he still couldn't help but complain, this time, his complaint had the flavor of bringing you Grand Master Li.

With the addition of the new 1st and 2nd regiments, a total of 87 shooters, plus more than 300 other auxiliary personnel, and the influx of a large number of soldiers from the new battalion, the air defense company suddenly expanded several times.

Today's air defense company is equipped with 20 single-barreled 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, 50 single-barreled 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, 100 M2 heavy machine guns, and a total of more than 2,000 people, including the ammunition transport group.

A company of more than 2,000 people!

That's more than fifteen hundred people in a boot camp.

It's outrageous.

Even if many of them will leave after the two-month training, there are still more than 1,000 people left in the end, and a company of 1,000 people is still outrageous.

In order to manage this company, in order to effectively command the anti-aircraft fire network, he had to set up a group under the squad to facilitate command.

After sighing, Fumino shook his head, shook off his heart, and threw himself into the training of the air defense company.

Although the air defense company has more than 80 outstanding marksmen from the new 1st and 2nd regiments, as well as veterans transferred from various battalions, the vast majority of the 2,000 men are still new recruits.

These recruits, who used to be militiamen, have a certain military foundation, and even some cultural foundation, but the aircraft is not so easy to fight, and it is not a joke to fight ten defenses and nine airs in air defense operations.

Moreover, he also plans to train some excellent shooters from these recruits, and the training cannot be relaxed in the slightest.

Suddenly...

Woo woo woo · The terrible air raid siren sounded, and the entire surrounding area of Zhao Jiayu, including the workers who built the road, neatly put down the tools in their hands and drilled into the air-raid shelter that had been prepared long ago.

Within a few minutes, everyone was hidden.

At the same time, a communications soldier quickly reported to Fumino:

"Fifteen devil planes are flying from the direction of Taiyuan, and they are expected to arrive over Zhao Jiayu in six minutes."

"Everyone, get into position at once."

Fumino was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his troops to enter the position and prepare for battle, and he himself entered a place and quickly took a motorcycle to an air defense position on the top of a single hill, where there was a 40 anti-aircraft gun, and a telephone line connecting all the air defense positions.

Air defense, not only the stacking of gun barrels, but also the weaving of the fire net, is very demanding on the commander.

"Fifteen!"

Looking through the telescope, Fumino saw the devil plane flying in the distance, and couldn't help licking his lips.

He has excellent qualifications, he is still the commander of an air defense company, and he directly accepts Li Yunlong's command orders, so he naturally knows very well how lucrative it will be to shoot down a devil plane in the air.

Not to mention thousands of tons of grain, there are 150 tons of weapons and equipment alone.

After all, you can exchange it for thirty 40 anti-aircraft guns.

The new 40 anti-aircraft guns have a long range and great power, and are also equipped with sights with gyroscopes, which have extremely high shooting accuracy and many advantages, and Zhao Jiayu, who has built a highway, and the nearby base areas can also maneuver at high speed under the traction of the big jeep.

It can also lower the flat shot, and the flat shot distance is even farther than the ninety-two type.

The only drawback is that its own weight is also large, the total weight with the base is more than 1.6 tons, the total weight of all parts and other accessories is 5 tons, there is no way to quickly disassemble and install, the ammunition consumption is also very terrifying, the combat rate of fire per minute is also 100 rounds, and a shell weighs more than 2 kilograms.

The whole regiment was equipped with only twenty guns.

As for the 20 anti-aircraft guns, which included spare parts and packaging with a total weight of only one ton, Li Yunlong changed quite a lot.

This 20 anti-aircraft gun can shoot with a high-precision and high-reaction speed base crank, as well as a highly maneuverable hand-operated aimed shot.

Moreover, its gun body only weighs more than 60 kilograms, which can be used for squad maneuvering, and can even be used as an infantry fire point, and is also equipped with tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells, which is equivalent to a strengthened version of the heavy machine gun.

"At least five of them."

Taking a deep breath and exhaling heavily, Fumino cheered himself up.

As the person in charge of the air defense command of the independent regiment, although he complained about only 2,000 people and a company, he was still happy about the strength of the independent regiment's air defense force.

The stronger the troops, the happier he became.

He is a person who has read the list, and knows that Boss Chen has a kind of twin and quadruple 40/20 anti-aircraft guns, which have more fierce firepower, faster rate of fire, fewer manpower required, and higher air defense efficiency.

The disadvantage is that the weight is large, the mobility is also lower, and for the independent regiment, it is only suitable for fixed defense, and it has not yet started.

"Attention to all positions..."

Seeing that the devil's plane was approaching Zhao Jiayu's sky, he picked up the phone.

At this time, on the cave-type air defense position next to the regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang was also holding a telescope and looking at the fifteen devil planes in the sky, his eyes did not blink, and even his guards found that there was a faint saliva at the corner of the political commissar's mouth.

······

Air.

"Group 1, offense."

The devil pilot in charge of the command gave the order.

The five Type 97 dive bombers, which were originally hovering on the edge, flapped their wings, began to reduce their altitude, and finally dived to bomb various buildings and bridges on the edge of Zhao Jiayu.

The Independent Regiment built a lot of warehouses in Zhao Jiayu to store supplies, as well as soldiers' dormitories, as well as canteens, etc., without further information, these are the bombing targets of the little devils.

Because it was a feint, the dive angle of these planes was not large.

"The second group prepares."

Seeing that the altitude of the first group gradually dropped to 1,000 meters, the commander of the devil pilots gave another order.

Five more planes began to reduce their altitude and gradually moved closer to Zhao Jiayu's airspace.

Compared with the surrounding bridges and warehouses, with Zhao Jiayu as the center, the buildings near the independent regimental headquarters are obviously denser, not only can you see more cylindrical warehouses, but also many newly built two-story and three-story small brick houses.

It is clear that the bombing value here is higher.

At this time, the first group of bombers of the devils had reached an attackable altitude, and the anti-aircraft company of the independent regiment also opened fire, and dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns and 20-caliber anti-aircraft guns sprinkled a dense rain of bullets on the five aircraft on the edge.

Back then, with a Czech-style, he fought wits and courage with the little devil plane for more than three years, Fumino naturally knew what the devil was planning, and he only used a part of the machine gun and a small number of 20-caliber anti-aircraft guns this time, about half of the firepower.

"Yo West"

The current situation made the devil commander on the plane very satisfied.

"The first group pays attention to maintaining the height, and the second group starts to attack."

Giving a new order, the devil commander even sneered at the following independent regiment:

"Stupid, I actually exposed most of the firepower in the first place."

The main purpose of the flank attack is to attract anti-aircraft fire, this tactic is obvious, as long as a commander can see it, but he didn't expect that it was the Eighth Route Army below that actually used most of the anti-aircraft fire at the first time.

Even the new 20 anti-aircraft guns were shot.

"It seems that they are all novices, and they can only know how to guard against dive bombers."

The devil commander led his third flight group, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and sneered at the air defense war below.

In his point of view, at this time, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army had used all its anti-aircraft firepower, twelve 20 anti-aircraft guns, two more than in the intelligence, plus fifty anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, ten more than last time.

Sixty-two firing points weaved a fairly good network of anti-aircraft firepower.

As soon as an Imperial bomber tries to lower altitude, it will be greeted with a rain of bullets, forcing it to pull up and abandon the attack.

But the experienced commander of this old devil saw the situation clearly.

The following air defense shooters of the Eighth Route Army are obviously novices, or inexperienced, and there are a lot of overlapping firepower networks, and there are also many loopholes in the blockade of ballistics, resulting in the actual effect of only 30 air defense fire points.

Moreover, as the two groups continued to probe and attack, these holes became bigger and bigger, and the firepower network became more and more chaotic.

"Group 3, prepare."

"Target, anti-aircraft artillery position on the left."

Taking a deep breath, Weimi's eyes looked at an anti-aircraft position that was shining with muzzle fireworks.

The goal of his third group was not to bomb the buildings of the Independent Regiment, but to prepare for the anti-aircraft positions.

·····

Below, on the air defense position.

"It seems that the little devil already knows that we have 20 anti-aircraft guns."

Looking at the ten planes that had always maintained a certain altitude on the edge, a thought flashed in Zhao Gang and Wen Ye's hearts at the same time.

The little devil plane kept a sufficient distance from the beginning, always testing high and low on the edge of the 20 anti-aircraft artillery anti-aircraft range, and it was obvious that the other side knew the news that the independent regiment had 20 anti-aircraft guns.

Even Zhao Gang could guess where the devil knew about it, the independent regiment was equipped with 20 anti-aircraft guns, and his own training was usually a blockade of the training ground, and ordinary people were not allowed to go up to the position, only Chu Yunfei and his 358th regiment had seen it.

"Qian Bojun?"

Zhao Gang thought of the information he had received before, the battalion commander of the 358th Regiment who had been in close contact with the devil many times.

"Everybody ready."

At the same time, Fumino also raised the phone, and his voice followed the phone and reached the ears of every air defense squad leader.

Forty 20 anti-aircraft guns that have not yet fired,

·····

At the same time.

Pan County.

Outside the city, Wang Chengzhu had already set up two 120 mortars of his second artillery company, and behind the gun position, boxes of artillery shells were stacked, and the muzzle of the gun pointed at the barracks of the Panxian Devil Brigade four kilometers away.

Lady off.

Railway station.

Yan Sheng also set up an artillery position ten kilometers away from the railway station, and beside him, the muzzles of the six Bofors Mountain guns pointed diagonally to the sky, and behind the gun emplacements, there were also boxes of neatly placed shells.

Taiyuan.

Inside the headquarters of the 1st Army.

Yoshimoto was smiling at the papers in his hand.
