"We have anti-aircraft guns! Load them!" Wei Mingyang ordered loudly.

"The camp! The target is too small and the distance is too far. It's impossible to hit it!" He Zheng was too anxious.

These artillerymen all graduated from the artillery school.

I know very well how difficult it is to hit a small balloon from such a distance.

If it were really that easy, the Japanese planes would no longer be able to fly in the sky, and they would fight one after another.

Seeing no one taking action, Wei Mingyang's face darkened: "Execute the order!"

"Yes!" The military order was like a mountain, and He Zhengtai had no choice but to agree no matter how reluctant he was.

Immediately ordered: "Load!"

Five anti-aircraft guns were installed.

Wei Mingyang personally walked to the cannon and carefully adjusted the cannon's shooting angle and direction.

"Camp seat! The balloon is floating in the air, and it is constantly moving. It can't be hit, it can't be hit at all." He Zhengtai persuaded him earnestly for the last time.

Wei Mingyang said impatiently: "If you miss, you will waste five shells. What's the big deal?"

Captain Liu also felt that these two gates were too conspicuous and exposed on the top of the mountain.

I came up with three battalion commanders and wanted to persuade them, but I heard Wei Mingyang say this.

My foot slipped and I almost fell!

Five cannonballs are not worth anything. But what does it mean if you do something you know you can’t do?

After loading the artillery shells, Wei Mingyang personally operated it and sat on the gun position.

A minute passed and he didn't move.

Two minutes passed and he still didn't move.

Five minutes or ten minutes, he seemed to be an old monk entering samadhi.

Looking straight at the fluttering balloon in the distance, the balloon was swaying in the air like a small flower swaying in the wind.

"Captain Wei!" Commander Liu took a step forward. He saw that Wei Mingyang had not fired for such a long time.

I think he was put on stage and can't get off stage.

I decided to help him and persuade him to let Wei Yingzuo get off the anti-aircraft gun.

After all, Commander Wei's men are quite capable, and his assassination skills just now were pretty good.

Just then: "Boom!"

Suddenly there was a loud noise and a shell flew out from the anti-aircraft gun.

7300 meters, the projectile velocity is 830 meters per second.

This means that the cannonball needs to fly in the air for more than eight seconds. During these eight seconds, the observation balloon swaying in the wind has changed several positions.

This is why no one has ever exploded a Japanese observation balloon.

I hate it so much, but I can't stare it to death or blow it up!

This is a true portrayal of the National Army's observation balloon of the Japanese artillery.

Captain Liu quickly picked up the telescope and looked at the balloon and the hanging basket. He had been staring at it for a few minutes just now, and then he raised his eyes and looked over.

The balloon was clearly seen swaying.

"Bang!" They didn't hear the sound of artillery shells exploding in the air.

But we can see that the Japanese balloon is intact.

"The camp seat! It's useless!" He Zhengtai said.

"Wei Yingzuo, it's better to withdraw these two cannons! Keep these two cannons and give the Japanese a hard blow at the critical moment." Captain Liu finally set up the ladder.

At this time, Wei Mingyang should just get off the ladder without losing face at all.

Wei Mingyang ignored everyone's words and fell into trance quietly.

But this time, his quiet time was much shorter, five minutes later.

"Boom!"

The balloon is still swaying in the wind!

The national army’s anti-aircraft artillery fires balloons!

Yamada Shunsuke sneered: "I'll be here all day! If I can fight, I lose."

Captain Takeda Seiichi heard three gunshots in the air and looked up at the sky.

The shells obviously fired by anti-aircraft guns exploded in the air, and it couldn't help but laugh: "How afraid of the imperial heavy artillery is the national army!

They actually used anti-aircraft guns to hit observation balloons. Isn’t this a cannon used to fight mosquitoes? Isn’t it overkill and overkill?”

The key point is when the cannon hits mosquitoes, can it hit it?

Don’t say you won’t win one out of a hundred, you won’t win even one out of ten thousand.

"We can't hit him, we can't hit him at all!" Zhang Peiqing shook his head helplessly.

This camp is a bit clumsy. I really don’t know why Shangfeng specially equipped it with two cannons and what it means.

"Boom!"

When the fourth shell was fired, Commander Liu, He Zhengtai, and Zhang Peiqing no longer looked at it.

The outcome was already doomed: miss!

As an observer, Shui Ningzhang couldn't help but see!

This time he saw: the Japs' observation balloon suddenly exploded in the air, and the gondola containing the Japs fell rapidly to the ground.

That devil is dead, if he can survive! I am willing to eat Xiang directly!

Thinking this, Shui Ningzhang was stunned, his mouth opened wide, unable to breathe or make a sound.

On the other hand, the two followers, Lu Fei and Yang Dazhu, were never disappointed with the camp.

Yingzuo will not be disappointed either: "It's a hit! Yingzuo is a hit!"

In their eyes, isn't it just playing ball?

Could it be more difficult than blowing up the Japanese "Izumo"? From the very beginning, these two were ready to cheer.

Now I can finally shout it out.

Captain Liu was shocked when he heard their cheers.

I quickly raised the telescope and saw that there was nothing in my field of vision: I was not looking in the right direction.

Commander Liu's telescope scanned the sky but could not find the Japanese observation balloon.

"Where did the ball go?"

"Team seat! The ball has fallen! It fell to the ground. You can't see it!" Shen Wenhu, commander of the third battalion, said.

He Zhengtai and Zhang Peiqing looked at each other in confusion.

The two of them are definitely not idiots, otherwise they would not have been specially deployed to help blockade the Yangtze River and Huangpu River.

"This is definitely not luck!" Everyone in the camp had seen what he had just thought and observed.

"Yingzuo! How did you hit it? Can you tell me?" He Zhengtai changed the title, and the honorific title of yours came out.

"Just waiting! The balloon is swaying in the wind, although it is constantly moving.

But there is always a line below that pulls it, and it moves with the wind.

The wind movement is regular. Although it becomes very fast, it is still regular.

Find the right opportunity and fire when the wind direction and speed have not changed.

It was also my first time to hit a balloon. I had no experience and I wasted three shells. What a pity!" Wei Mingyang still felt a little distressed.

Three artillery shells! You can knock out three Japanese planes!

"Barracks! Do you want this?" Not to mention the four shells that knocked down the Japs' observation balloon, even forty shells were able to knock down the balloon, and it was a profit.

Wei Mingyang really felt that he was wasted, and everyone on the entire fort felt that Wei Yingzuo was just faking it.

This time, no one persuaded him to move the artillery position. People who can use anti-aircraft guns to hit balloons are still afraid of confronting the Japanese?

Wei Mingyang ordered: "Li Cheng!"
