However, none of these are the key.

Whether the second Yinjiang Battle can be won and whether the second Zhejiang-Fujian Battle can achieve the effect formulated before the war depends largely on the performance of the 3rd Flying Regiment’s special condemnation team!

In order to blow up Zhaobaoshan Fortress and Jinjishan Fortress, Okamura Yasuji instructed the 3rd Flying Regiment's leader, Guandaohara, to recruit volunteer pilots and form a special condemnation team.

So, Okamura Yasuji turned his attention to Tubehara.

Guan Daoyuan immediately took a step forward and said, "Mr. Commander, Bei Zhi has recruited twenty volunteers from the expatriates in Shanghai and is conducting flight training for them. Four of them originally had a certain flight foundation, so they have made great progress and can now fly alone."

"Yoxi, that's enough." Okamura Yasuji nodded happily and asked again, "Is the plane ready?"

"Hayi." Pipeline Dao paused his head again and continued, "The Navy provided six Type 96 dive bombers that were about to be scrapped, plus the four original bombers of our 3rd Flight Regiment, and now it has ten bombers. It should be more than enough to destroy the two fortresses at Yinjiangkou."

Okamura Nishi asked cautiously: "Is there any problem with the plane?"

"There is no problem with the plane." The original pipeline Avenue, "After repairs, there is absolutely no problem in performing a flight mission."

"It is enough to be able to perform a flight mission." Okamura Nishi nodded happily again and said to Mitsurou Usa, "Mikun Usa, everything is ready, I'll wait for your order."

"Hayi!" Usami paused heavily, then walked to the side and picked up the phone, took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her chest, and said in a deep voice, "Order, the first echelon of the 3rd Flying Team Special Condemnation Team, ready to attack! Then call the Third Navy Fleet that its aviation special condemnation team can attack."

...

Yinjiang, Zhaobaoshan Fortress Position.

Li Ziren and his adjutant Li Sanmu were patrolling various anti-aircraft artillery positions.

Today, Li Ziren is already the commander of the garrison brigade of Zhaobaoshan Fortress.

Yes, after the Second Detachment was reorganized into the 203rd Division, Zhong Yi recruited another 5,000 people from the militia and formed a fortress garrison brigade alone.

The only responsibility of this fortress garrison brigade is to guard the two fortresses.

Because he shoulders heavy responsibilities, Li Ziren is very concerned about defense work.

Especially Li Ziren is even more concerned about the number of anti-aircraft guns, which is not large in number.

Due to the high price, Zhong Yi purchased a lot of anti-aircraft machine guns from abroad, but the number of anti-aircraft guns was very small. The only twelve anti-aircraft guns were all concentrated at the forefront of the two fortresses in Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan.

Although the construction standards of the two fortresses are very high and the latest technologies similar to reaction armor are used, Zhong Yi still strengthened the defense of the fortress as much as possible, including spending a lot of money to purchase twelve dual-mounted anti-aircraft guns, which were hidden and deployed at the fortress front as the first line of defense.

Twelve Erlikon 20mm dual anti-aircraft guns were deployed in Zhaobao Mountain and Jinji Mountain on the north and south sides of the Yinjiang River.

Now Li Ziren is inspecting the artillery position in Jiangbei.

As a result, when I inspected the third gun position, I found that the camouflage covering the top of the gun position was actually damaged, and the platoon leader where the gun position was located did not repair it in time.

结果李子任一下就怒了.

Li Ziren asked his adjutant Li Sanmu to call the artillery platoon leader to the front and scolded him.

Just as the artillery platoon leader was about to lead people to repair the disguise, a buzzing roar suddenly sounded from the eastern sky.

When Li Ziren, Li Sanmu and the artillery platoon leader looked back, they saw a large area of ​​Japanese aircraft emerging from the east sky. At least thirty Japanese aircraft lined up into a combat formation and were rushing towards Yinjiangkou.

Almost at the same time, the alert troops deployed on the front island also discovered the rushing fleet and then sounded a harsh air defense alarm.

The artillery platoon leader suddenly became anxious and shouted sternly: "Tell me the order and prepare to shoot..."

However, before the words were finished, the artillery platoon leader was kicked to the ground by Li Ziren and scolded sternly: "Shut up!"

He kicked the artillery platoon leader over, and Li Ziren rushed into the shelter of the artillery position as fast as possible, then grabbed the phone and shouted sternly: "I am Li Ziren, listen to me in each artillery position!"

After pausing, Li Ziren growled again and again: "No one is allowed to open fire without my order!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Ziren returned to the surface position and said to the artillery platoon leader who had just gotten up: "I open my eyes wide and look carefully. As long as the Japanese bomber did not launch a suicide dive impact on the main building of Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan Fortress, fire will never be allowed, do you know?"

"Yes." Although the artillery platoon leader didn't understand, he still agreed without hesitation.

Li Ziren did not explain, but he knew the reason, because Zhong Yi told him that the engineering design standards of Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan Fortresses were extremely high, and they were enough to withstand general bombings. Only the Japanese suicide dive impact could pose a fatal threat to the two fortresses.

As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. The fortress garrison brigade has only twelve anti-aircraft guns in total, so of course it must be used to block the Japanese suicide dive bombers.

...

After receiving Li Ziren's order, the twelve artillery positions on the north and south sides immediately fell into silence.

On the contrary, the other sixty-four anti-aircraft machine gun positions opened fire violently, pouring a slalom of bullets into the air, like a whip of flames, waving around the air and sweeping across it, which looked very beautiful.

However, the role of anti-aircraft machine guns is actually very limited.

The first is that it is difficult to hit the Japanese plane that is flying at high speed.

Another thing is that even if you hit the pilot or fuel tank directly, it is not enough to shoot down the Japanese plane if you just hit the fuselage or wing.

Therefore, although the anti-aircraft machine gun was very lively, even a Japanese plane was not beaten down.

More than 30 Japanese bombers lined up in several echelons, launching wave after wave of dive bombings at the defensive fortresses of Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan, but they all came from the periphery positions. Almost no Japanese bomber came from the main project of the fortress. Obviously, the Japanese were not fools. They knew that this level of bombing was just a tickling for the main body of the fortress, so they simply did not bomb the main body, but only bombed the fortifications on the periphery.

After a few minutes, the entire fortress was covered by thick smoke.

Because the vision inside the observation post was seriously disturbed, Li Ziren simply walked out of the observation post, went up to the hill where the gun was located, and held up a telescope and searched in the sky.
Chapter completed!
