Chapter six hundred and ninth cannon fire
On the periphery of Siping, a large number of soldiers from the 4th Column and the ** Division were facing a great enemy. Many machine guns, even 30mm cannons on armored personnel carriers, pointed to the sky.
The 30mm cannon on the Type 39 armored personnel carrier can shoot at high elevation angles and also has strong air defense capabilities.
In the sky.
The Japanese aircraft group hovered at high altitude, as if they were looking for something. Yes, the Japanese aircraft group was looking for the soldiers' artillery positions. The Japanese aircraft's mission was to destroy the soldiers' heavy artillery groups.
The Japanese devils were condescending and learned in advance the approximate location of the soldiers' artillery positions. Soon, the Japanese discovered the artillery positions of the 4th Column in the western suburbs of the city.
The heavy artillery brigade, a total of 72 155mm howitzers and nearly 200 trucks, form a huge artillery position. Although nearly half of the heavy artillery has been evacuated, there are still 30 to 40 cannons and nearly 100 large trucks on the huge position. The soldiers are rushing to transfer.
The Japanese Aircraft Group discovered the positions of the heavy artillery brigade. Many Japanese Air pilots were ecstatic and drove the plane and rushed towards the sky above the heavy artillery brigade.
Siping western suburbs.
The temporary joint command of the 4th Column and the ** Division is also located in the western suburbs of Siping. Whether it is Luo Jihua, the commander of the 4th Column, or Liao Yaoxiang, the commander of the ** Division, are paying attention to the small Japanese in the sky.
"Old Liao, the Japanese aircraft group headed straight for our heavy artillery brigade." Luo Jihua, commander of the 4th Column, looked solemn, and watched the Japanese aircraft group flying over the heavy artillery brigade. He couldn't help but worry.
Liao Yaoxiang also looked serious and comforted: "Lao Luo, don't worry too much. Look, your mechanized infantry regiment is next to the heavy artillery brigade's position."
Liao Yaoxiang pointed at the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the First Infantry Division of the 4th Column in the distance, and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment was just near the heavy artillery brigade. The three mechanized infantry regiments of the 4th Column did not participate in the attack of the Siping peripheral positions. The task of these three regiments was to be responsible for air defense, especially the air defense of each heavy artillery group.
Seeing several Type 39 armored vehicles, hundreds of off-road vehicles, and a total of more than 100 combat vehicles from the Mechanized Infantry Regiment, Luo Jihua was a little relieved.
In the sky.
A large number of Japanese aircraft were unscrupulous and began to lower the altitude. Obviously, Japanese bombers were preparing to drop bombs on the positions of the heavy artillery brigade.
On the positions of the heavy artillery brigade, many soldiers saw the Japanese plane approaching. The soldiers accelerated their movements and worked together to hang the heavy artillery onto the towing truck.
The brigade commander of the heavy artillery brigade saw that the Japanese aircraft were getting lower and lower, and the altitude might be only more than one thousand meters. It won’t take long before the Japanese aircraft began to drop bombs.
I looked at my huge artillery position. Seeing that the artillery position was much empty, about half of the artillery had withdrawn from the position, and the truck carrying artillery shells had already withdrawn from the position. Seeing these, the brigade commander of the heavy artillery brigade felt a little relieved.
"Brig Commander, soldiers from the First Mechanized Infantry Regiment rushed over."
At this time, soldiers from the First Mechanized Infantry Regiment were driving off-road vehicles or Type 39 armored personnel carriers, and many off-road vehicles or armored vehicles had already entered the depths of the positions of the heavy artillery brigade.
Many off-road vehicles and armored vehicles drove into the depth of the heavy artillery brigade and stopped one after another. The 30mm cannon and the muzzle of each door was aimed at the sky.
The war is about to break out.
The first commander of the Mechanical Infantry Regiment saw that the Japanese aircraft was only about one thousand meters high and had completely entered the best range of the 30mm cannon, so the first commander was ready to take the initiative.
"Comrades! Open the fire!!!"
Suddenly, many 30mm cannons began to shoot violently, with a mechanized infantry regiment, a total of more than 100 combat vehicles, each car had a 30mm cannon, a total of more than 100 30mm cannons.
With a command, nearly half of the 30mm cannon fired violently at the Japanese group of aircraft, and the rest of the off-road vehicles and armored vehicles were also preparing to fire in the shortest time.
Dozens of 30mm cannons fired at the same time, catching the Japanese off guard. The Japanese pilots absolutely did not expect that there were so many anti-aircraft guns on the ground.
The Japanese are in a tragedy.
With so many cannons, many Japanese aircraft were shot, especially those bombers, with large targets and poor maneuverability, and were accurate by the soldiers.
More than 20 fighter jets escorted by the Japanese were also shot. Nearly half of the planes escorted by the Japanese were Zero fighter jets.
In order to pursue good maneuverability at low speed, Zero fighter jets have abandoned many protective devices. Even if they are hit by machine gun bullets, they are fatal, let alone being hit by a 30mm cannon.
Suddenly, two Zero fighter jets that were shot were exploded in the air and turned into fireballs that splashed everywhere, looking very beautiful.
The Japanese bombers also had several aircraft hitting bombs, emitting thick smoke, and some could see obvious flames. The 30mm cannon seemed to be very powerful for targets with a height of only about one thousand meters.
The Japanese crew were almost stunned by the sudden shooting. After a minute or two, most Japanese pilots realized that the Japanese began to lift up urgently.
However, at this time, one or two minutes later, more and more machine guns joined the ranks of shooting. At the beginning, only dozens of 30mm machine guns were fired. Now, at least hundreds of 30mm machine guns are shooting fiercely at the Japanese group of aircraft.
Several Japanese aircraft have been shot down. In a short period of time, there were five fighter jets and three bombers, and there were also several aircraft that were shot down.
As more and more machine guns joined the ranks of shooting, the Japanese's more than 40 aircraft were facing more than 100 30mm cannons, and almost at least two or three guns were aiming at one Japanese plane and firing fiercely.
"Baga! How could this be the case?" On a bomber, a Japanese gangster shouted, unable to believe how could the ground troops of the 36th Army have such fierce anti-aircraft artillery fire?
No one answered the Japanese Grandpa's shouts, but several consecutive 30mm cannons hit the Japanese bomber. The Japanese plane suddenly shaked and smoke emitting thick smoke.
"Master! We were shot."
A pilot of an Japanese bomber screamed in horror. Through the glass windows on the plane, you could see the thick smoke rolling on the plane's fuselage outside.
"Drop bombs, drop bombs quickly."
Seeing that he would be shot down sooner or later, the Japanese Grandmaster was full of fierce expression and shouted, the Japanese Grandmaster wanted to put on some cushions before he died.
However, soon, several Japanese bomb droppers said helplessly: "Master, our bomb drop device has failed and cannot drop bombs."
"Baga!" The Japanese devils almost vomited blood in anger. At the critical moment, his plane's bomb drop equipment was destroyed.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Several shells hit the Japanese bomber in a row. The Japanese bomber was knocked into two pieces and fell to the ground. The Japanese on the plane were either bombed to death or fell to death.
The battle over the heavy artillery brigade was closely watched by both China and Japan in Siping.
In the city, many Japanese Japanese looked at the sky.
Originally, with so many of their own planes coming, many Japanese devils seemed to see hope, and many Japanese devils were full of energy and confidence.
The same is true for the division of the 112th Division of the Japanese. Seeing the arrival of a large number of planes, the Japanese division commander swept away the decadence in front of him. His originally gloomy face suddenly turned bright.
However, the development of the situation was much beyond the expectations of the Japanese. The situation turned sharply. The Japanese's dozens of aircraft were only slaughtered before the fierce anti-aircraft artillery fire of the 36th Army.
In just a few minutes of the battle, at least nearly twenty planes were shot down, and most of the remaining planes were more or less shot.
"Baga!" Seeing his planes being shot down one after another, the Japanese division commander turned pale and could no longer watch. He hurriedly said: "Hurry! Send a report to Shenyang, the planes that reinforced Siping suffered heavy losses under the fierce anti-aircraft artillery fire of the 36th Group."
"Secretary Commander, what should we do if we don't have aircraft reinforcements, just based on our ten thousand people? Secretary Commander, we may find it difficult to stay until tomorrow."
The Japanese Chief of Staff looked sad and desperate. Ten thousand people were confronted with 50,000 or 60,000 people in the 36th Army. It was too difficult for the Japanese.
The commander of the Japanese Division had a gloomy face and knew his situation. After a long time, the commander of the Japanese Division said slowly: "Send a report to Shenyang again, plead for reinforcements and ask our reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible. Otherwise, our 112th Division will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."
All of them are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor? The Japanese officers around him, after hearing the words of their division commander, felt cold and began to despair again. Many Japanese officers even remembered their wives and children far away in Japan and their elderly parents.
The commander of the Japanese Division looked around at the Japanese around him and saw that many Japanese were in a low morale and many Japanese were full of despair. The commander of the Japanese Division sighed helplessly and thought to himself that his 112th Division would be difficult to escape this disaster.
