Chapter 68 Beautiful shelling

It has been three days since Ye Feng returned to Shannan County. On the first day he returned, Ye Feng met Wang Xueying. When Ye Feng returned safely, Wang Xueying almost rushed into Ye Feng's arms without thinking.

Ye Feng's clear telegram also had a good effect. According to Sun Yang's report in Nanjing, the Japanese army was relatively regular and there was no large-scale massacre.

However, the explicit telegram also brought bad news to Ye Feng. The third war zone sent a stern-worded telegram to criticize Ye Feng. If Ye Feng had not made great contributions in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek temporarily let Ye Feng go, and Ye Feng might have been removed from office and investigated.

However, Ye Feng just curled his lips and did not take it seriously. Compared with saving the lives of 300,000 compatriots, what is this criticism?

Three days after returning, Ye Feng visited all parts of Shannan County. Ye Feng had only been away for a dozen days, and the entire Shannan County changed a lot. The training of various troops was in full swing, with brand new barracks, neatly tidy, spacious and bright.

The defense line east of the county town was also completed and was extremely strong. On the hills on both sides of the highway, there were bunkers of reinforced concrete structures, large and small, staggered in an orderly manner.

As for Asakamiya Hikari, he was temporarily detained in the special forces base Kyuroshan.

Today, Ye Feng was inspecting the east defense line of the city.

This line of defense is very important for Ye Feng. If Hangzhou falls, Shannan County, so close to Hangzhou, will rely on this line of defense to resist the Japanese attack. Because of its importance, Ye Feng has invested a lot of money on this line of defense. Not only did it consume a lot of steel and cement during construction, but it also equipped with a total of 100 Maxine machine guns and 50 Browning heavy machine guns.

"Host, this is our main fort."

Liang Xiaolong, who was accompanying him, began to introduce to Ye Feng that Liang Xiaolong was a civil engineer from the system and the chief designer of this defense line.

Standing in this main fort, looking into the distance, the view is wide in the distance, the road at the foot of the mountain is clear at a glance, and further away, there is a large field in the direction of Hangzhou, which is very flat.

The space inside the main castle is about two meters high, and it is round and has a wall thickness of about one meter. The wall thickness can be seen through the shooting hole. This is no longer called a shooting hole, because each shooting hole is about five to sixty centimeters high and about one meter wide, which can be called a shooting window. In front of each shooting hole is a machine gun.

"Xiaolong, how many main bunkers do we have like this?"

"Report to the brigade, there are eighteen main bunkers like us built in total. Each main bunker has a diameter of 30 meters and a wall thickness of more than one meter. Half is in the soil and half is exposed on the ground. Every main bunker we built can withstand the violent bombing of heavy aviation bombs,..."

Liang Xiaolong began to introduce the situation of each type of bunker to Ye Feng in detail. In addition to the main bunker, there are more than 100 auxiliary bunkers of all sizes, which are as large as ten meters in diameter and only a few meters in size. They are equipped with a heavy machine gun, two and three shooting holes.

In addition to the bunkers, many traffic trenches and cement-reinforced traffic trenches have been built, and everyone can move between each bunker through the traffic trenches.

In order to worry about the Japanese blasting from the ground, many monitoring holes were built to monitor the situation underground. Once the situation was discovered, measures could be taken immediately.

At noon, Ye Feng basically completed his inspection and was about to leave and return to Shannan County.

Suddenly, the roar of an airplane came from the sky. Ye Feng looked up at the sky and saw several Japanese bombers flying towards this side.

The Japanese plane!

Ye Feng looked at the planes and said disdainfully that several planes also came to play the fun, and he really didn't know how to live or die.

"Jinxian, take those planes down for me."

Sun Jinxian is a major battalion commander of the First Infantry Regiment. He is mainly responsible for the defense of this area. He is also one of the people accompanying Ye Feng for inspection today. Sun Jinxian was a leader of Shizhuzhai before. He participated in the battle in the Puxi Warehouse. He performed well and was loyal to Ye Feng. He was entrusted with important tasks by Ye Feng and promoted to the major battalion commander.

"Yes, I'll go and arrange it now."

The Japanese Japanese planes have always been to Shannan County, sometimes one or two, sometimes three or five, sometimes reconnaissance, and sometimes small-scale bombing.

However, due to the Nanjing Defense War, the Japanese army focused on Nanjing. The scale of each aircraft dispatched to Shannan County was very small, and it was mainly reconnaissance. This was the first time that seven or eight bombers were dispatched today.

The Japanese devils regarded themselves as a dish too much. They dared to come and bombard them with just seven or eight bombers.

In the past, Ye Feng exchanged ten German 88mm anti-aircraft guns, four of which were arranged on the east defense line of the city. Each anti-aircraft gun was located, and circular cement fortifications were built, which could play a good protective role for anti-aircraft guns.

With Ye Feng's order, the four anti-aircraft guns immediately took action, were pushed out of the bunker, removed their camouflage, and aimed at the sky with their long gun barrels. The observers also estimated the approximate height of the Japanese aircraft, and the ammunition operators also adjusted the time fuse of the shells.

Small-caliber anti-aircraft guns are used to directly hit the bullets to destroy the aircraft, while large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are used to destroy the aircraft by shrapnel generated by shells explosions in the air or to release bullets. Therefore, large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are used to delay fuzes.

When an enemy plane attacks, first measure the direction, speed, and altitude of the enemy plane to inform the anti-aircraft artillery troops. The loader first calculates how long it takes for the shell to fly to such an altitude, and sets the time for the shell to be installed in advance, so that it can be launched when the plane reaches the range.

Not far from Ye Feng, there was an 88mm anti-aircraft gun. Ye Feng in the main bunker could see the situation of this anti-aircraft gun. Seeing the orderly loading of several soldiers who operated the anti-aircraft gun, Ye Feng nodded.

In the sky, several Japanese bombers were flying towards this side. The commander of this anti-aircraft gun immediately took the lead in firing when he saw the Japanese plane entering the range.

"boom!"

A shell roared out and headed towards the enemy plane in the distance. When the shell approached the enemy plane, it exploded violently, and a large number of shrapnel hit the plane. Soon, the black smoke of the Japanese plane emerged and was shaking.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The other three 88mm anti-aircraft guns also began to roar and fire shells at the Japanese group of aircraft. The Japanese aircraft never expected that the Independent Brigade would even be equipped with anti-aircraft guns.

With several sounds of cannons, one by one, the shells bloomed in the sky and bloomed in the Japanese group. Suddenly, nearly half of the plane was shot, and one plane was even more smoke came out, and it fell down.

These Japanese bombers were hit head-on before they had time to drop bombs.

"Wonderful!"

Seeing the beautiful shelling, Ye Feng also secretly applauded.
