The Dragon Boat Festival telegram was very timely. After Zhou Weiguo received the telegram, he began to deploy his defenses.
Zhou Weiguo is also a top student who graduated from the International Military Academy. Although he knows that he does not have many artillery shells, he must teach the little devils a lesson: China's airspace cannot be entered just as you want.
It has two 88mm anti-tank guns and four 37mm anti-tank guns.
Two anti-aircraft machine guns, six anti-aircraft machine guns, 30 heavy machine guns, more than 100 light machine guns, plus Czech light machine guns, and other heavy weapons were deployed from the city wall of Baijia Town to the inside of the city.
More than a hundred firepower points.
The remaining people dispersed and hid to reduce the casualties caused by the Japanese bombing.
At the same time, on the east side of Baijia Town, Japanese aircraft had already flown over the Japanese camp.
The Japanese cheered at the plane and shouted long live.
The captain of the Japanese flight group made an OK gesture to the imperial soldiers below the plane, meaning leave Baijia Town to us. We can blow Baijia Town into ruins in seconds.
Then the flight commander ordered: "Keep altitude and prepare for dive bombing. I want this small Baijia Town to be razed to the ground. The soldiers of the empire are watching us. We must not live up to their expectations. Do you understand?"
?”
"Hi!"
All the Japanese soldiers responded excitedly, but they never expected that in Baijia Town, the Chinese soldiers had prepared a death feast for them.
The Japanese plane was still flying at an altitude of 3,000 to 2,500 meters. It was less than five miles away from Baijia Town.
The flight altitude is still decreasing because they are flying dive bombers.
If this kind of bomber wants to hit the target accurately, it can only fly at ultra-low altitude.
The plane dived downward from an altitude of three thousand meters, and the huge roar was deafening.
But the most terrifying thing was the number of planes. In a mere Baijia Town, the Japanese used nearly 40 planes.
Planes roared past the light of the corona, and their huge figures almost blocked the sun's light.
Zhou Weiguo stood on the city wall and lamented Japan's military power. With so many planes dispatched to bomb a little-known Chinese town, it can only be described as rich and powerful.
But this is just right. If the Japanese army had fewer planes, this wave of strikes would probably waste a lot of bullets and artillery shells. But it is different if the Japanese have more planes. The more planes there are, the greater the probability of being hit.
Zhou Weiguo showed an excited expression, because this time, he would definitely be able to catch a few big fish.
But he was not in a hurry. If he opened fire now, the Japanese army would quickly increase their numbers after learning that Baijia Town had been prepared.
At an altitude of about two thousand meters, except for the 88mm and 37mm combat anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns, the other weapons could not damage the Japanese aircraft at all.
In movies and TV dramas, shooting with rifles and machine guns were all done when the Japanese aircraft were flying at ultra-low altitude. If the Japanese aircraft was hit by a rifle bullet while flying at an altitude of several thousand meters, then
If it falls, it would be very unlucky.
So that's not realistic at all. The little devil's plane rarely flies to such a low altitude.
The Chinese defenders would be thankful if the Japanese aircraft could descend to 300 meters. Because flying at such a low altitude, light machine guns can come in handy.
Therefore, Zhou Weiguo did not expect the Japs' plane to fly so low, because between 800 and 500 meters, the Japs would inevitably drop bombs.
When a kid drops bombs at an altitude of more than 800 meters, he is trying his luck. The accuracy of bombs dropped at 800 meters will be greatly improved.
And this is also the reason why the little devil's plane takes risks and flies at low altitude.
Zhou Weiguo was waiting for this moment. When the little devil's plane descended to about 1,200 to 1,000 meters, he suddenly raised a bright red flag.
This is a large signal flag. With the signal flag as a command, once the flag is raised, they are ready to attack. The direction of the flag is the direction of their attack.
At this moment, all the soldiers corrected their firing range, pointed their machine guns and muzzles toward the east, and were ready to fire at any time to attack the Japanese aircraft.
At the same time, the Japanese pilots could only see the terrifying silence of Baijia Town bathed in the sun.
There is no smoke and no trace of popularity, as if the entire Baijia Town has become an empty city.
And if it weren't for the dozen or so Chinese soldiers surrounding a flag on the east wall, they might have thought that the Chinese defenders had escaped long ago.
At the same time, the Japs' flight captain also noticed this. He seemed to feel something was wrong. There was a 0.01 chance that he felt that the Chinese knew in advance that the planes were coming to bomb.
But think about it, this is unlikely. Even the Botian detachment doesn't know when they will bomb, so how can the Chinese know?
It turned out that their bomber formation was temporarily transferred. After bombing the Ma'anshan area on the southern line of Nanjing, they were supposed to rest and recuperate. However, they were temporarily transferred to the battlefield in Changzhou.
Another bomber formation was already involved in the bombing of Changzhou, and they only conducted a carpet bombing of Baijia Town before returning to rest.
Therefore, in this case, the Captain of the Japanese Flying Group felt that the chance that the enemy would know that the Imperial planes were coming to bomb was extremely low.
Of course, he would have never expected that the Chinese madman would see them on the way here, guess their intentions, and send the news to Zhou Weiguo in advance that the Japanese army would bomb Baijia Town.
Zhou Weiguo was also a man with extremely high military literacy. After receiving the information about the Dragon Boat Festival, he immediately dispatched troops to deploy and control firepower points throughout Baijia Town.
At this time, everything is ready and all we need is the east wind.
Although the stupid Japanese captain was suspicious, he still did not believe that his bombing plan would be leaked.
He ordered the Japanese aircraft to lower their altitude to one thousand meters and drop bombs from a distance of 500 to 300 meters from the ground. They then quickly raised the plane and evacuated the fleet.
"Hi!"
All Japanese pilots responded, and then thirty-three Japanese bombers, except for fighter jets, all roared and swooped down.
The roar of the plane shook the earth, and the harsh engine noise made everyone on the city wall feel dizzy and sick.
But under the roar of Japanese aircraft that was so bad and overwhelming, Zhou Weiguo held the red flag and began to wave left and right.
This was the signal to open fire. The machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the walls of Baijia Town, as well as six combat artillery pieces, two machine guns, etc. scattered in the city, fired into the air at the same time.
At this time, the Japanese planes had not arrived, but the artillery shells, machine guns, and bullets from machine guns and heavy machine guns had already been shot out of the barrels.
Dense barrages filled the sky above Baijia Town in an instant! ...
