Chapter 172 New Type 99 Heavy Land Explosion
Qiang Wentu's laughter continued as three of the latest Type 99 heavy-hitting aircraft (bombers) roared and dived towards Zhou Tai's troops. At this time, Zhou Tai had replaced the machine gunner of the tank he was riding in and sat in the machine gun tower. Inside, he looked coldly at the three enemy planes roaring down, and calmly commanded: "214, 215, 218, disperse immediately." Then he said: "Brothers, speed up and rush over. As long as you rush into the Japanese position, that's it. victory."
The appearance of this wave of enemy planes was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Second School Division. Zhou Tai knew that his unit would definitely be the priority bombing target of the Japanese. Moreover, if the enemy planes were really coming for them, then after carrying heavy weapons, In the case of a pound bomb, the outcome of his unit was already doomed, "Mom, if you pull the strings, you will die anyway, so let's pull some more Japanese to support you." With this plan in mind, Zhou Tai calmed down and under his command Next, all the tank drivers stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. They first opened the distance between each other, and then roared and rushed towards the Japanese army.
Behind the tank regiment, Wang Changyun looked up and saw the three enemy planes approaching rapidly. He raised his arms and shouted wildly, leading about two companies of trainees gathered around him, holding Wei Qing assault rifles and sniper rifles, and rushed towards them. ,
In front of the tank regiment, Sato Ken had already stabilized the morale of the army. At this time, he saw the intention of the tank troops of the Academy Army, and waved his hand without hesitation: "Withdraw, withdraw to the high ground in front of the headquarters."
On the other side, Qiang Wentu ran towards this side with two regiments of soldiers, Sayazi. At the same time, Gao Yunan's tribe was divided into two, each leading an infantry regiment, crossing the battlefield on both sides.
In just ten seconds, three enemy planes flew above and in front of Zhou Tai's troops. The next moment, the three enemy planes opened their magazine, and black bombs fell from inside.
"Huh..." The artillery shell fell into the air, and then screamed. At almost the same time, with Zhou Tai's "fire" sound, at least half of the tank-mounted machine guns fired violently, and then hundreds of students commanded by Wang Changyun fired. The various types of Wei Qing styles in the soldiers' hands roared at the same time,
Shooting between infantry and fighter planes, unless they have efficient anti-aircraft weapons, is no different from committing suicide.
As for tanks, although they have certain air defense capabilities, if they want to win, it requires a certain amount of luck and an absolute advantage in numbers.
During the Battle of Nanjing, during the defensive battle of Jiangyin Fortress, the Xuebing Army used ground air defense forces to severely defeat the Japanese aviation force. In that battle, a battalion commander named Xue Ming under the Second Xuexi Division led a mere company of The air defense force became famous in the first battle. It was thanks to a few anti-aircraft tanks that it took down as many as three enemy planes.
The professional air defense force was once an indispensable member of the Cadet Army's establishment when the Cadet Army Air Force was still immature. But now, as the Cadet Army Air Force begins to emerge, Ouyang Yun has replaced it with a force with certain capabilities. It cannot be said that this is Ouyang Yun's mistake. It is just that for the Second Xue Division at this time, how much they need a professional air defense force.
Although the number of the second wave of incoming enemy planes did not change much, there were only a few more, but the quality changed drastically.
In that time and space, the Japanese army had always had a major misunderstanding in the development of fighter planes. They valued speed and attack output, but almost ignored the armor of fighter planes. This allowed their aviation forces to gain a suppressive advantage against China on the battlefield. , but almost completely lost in the air battle against the United States in the late World War II,
The arrival of Ouyang Yun and Koizumi Toshiichiro through time and space gave the Japanese the opportunity to correct this mistake in advance. In terms of numbers and overall combat power, although the Xuebing Army Air Force was not enough to challenge the Japanese aviation force, it had several small and medium-sized In the air battle, the Baiji Dolphins and the Sky Fortress of the Xuebing Army had all the advantages. This reminded Japanese aircraft researchers. When Koizumi appeared, he bluntly pointed out some mistakes of the Japanese in the design concept of fighter aircraft. point of view, so there are new "Falcon" and new "Type 99" fighters with enhanced engine output and armor protection capabilities.
This wave of enemy aircraft led by Kenzo Tokugawa, whether they are fighters or bombers, are all the latest Type Nine-Nine. The biggest difference between this new Type Nine-Nine and its predecessor is that it has strengthened armor, thereby enhancing its battlefield survivability,
Not long ago, Wang Changyun led his troops to shoot down two enemy planes and injured one. At this moment, although he knew that the enemy planes were carrying bombs, even if his troops could repel the enemy planes, they would inevitably pay a huge price in casualties, but he He still seemed confident and felt that he could lead his troops to drive away the enemy planes again.
Liu Zheliang must have thought so too, so he pinned his hopes on the two infantry brigades and made the biggest mistake in his military career.
After the three Type 99 bombers dropped all the bombs they carried, they did not immediately lift up to escape from them. Instead, they continued to dive. While the belly of the aircraft was being hit with a "bang bang" sound, they used one of their cannons and Two 7.7mm machine guns fired at the cadets.
This wave of enemy planes carry 150-pound heavy bombs. Once these bombs fall, each one can produce an explosive mushroom cloud with a destruction radius of about fifteen meters. There are a total of eighteen bombs. They exploded along the way in a Z-shaped pattern. The three "Mandrill" heavy tanks numbered 214, 215, and 218 were the first to bear the brunt. 218 was directly hit by a bomb in the middle of the tower. After a loud "bang", the turret was blown away, and then the shells inside were blown away. An explosion occurred. After the continuous explosion, the entire tank's body cracked and turned directly into a pile of scrap metal. 214 had the best luck, but it was also overturned by the air wave generated by the explosion and fell to the ground. The machine gunner on board was crushed to death on the spot, and other crew members inside also suffered varying degrees of damage. 215 did not move during the explosion, but the armor at the back was penetrated. As a result, the crew inside except the driver's car Except for the elder, no one was spared and all died.
In addition to these three heavy tanks, two other Platypuses were affected. Both Platypuses were overturned to the ground. In the end, only the gunner of the crew of one of the Platypuses survived.
As for the students who were affected by the explosion, except for a few who fell down in time and suffered injuries of varying severity, the other thirty or so people were all engulfed by the fireworks produced by the explosion and left this world unwillingly.
This wave of enemy planes led by Tokugawa Kenzo gave the Second Academy Division a powerful impression as soon as they took action.
