The reason why the first wave of strikes caused so much damage to the Japanese fighter planes was that Anjiajun's secret weapon radar played a powerful role. Since they were in a pursuit state, most of the Japanese fighter planes moved forward in a straight line, so there was a trajectory to follow. The plotter said
In the clear markings, the forward direction of almost all Japanese fighter planes has been calculated in advance. The first thing that the ground forces have to attack is the Japanese fighter planes, creating conditions for the Chinese Air Force's counterattack, so the targets are also the first to be targeted.
Japanese fighter group.
After the enemy planes entered the ambush circle of ground artillery fire, all the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, under the command of the dispatchers, assigned their strike targets and pointed the strike points in front of the route of the Japanese fighter planes they were responsible for. Then,
The moment the command was issued, more than 200 anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns fired thousands of rounds, giving the Japanese fighter planes a powerful start.
Of course, once the Japanese fighter planes are in chaos, the radar's support for ground air defense forces will be extremely limited. Unless the Syrian government's research department develops a targeting radar air defense system that organically links radar, computers and anti-aircraft guns in advance, otherwise it will
We can only rely on the experience and bravery, tenacity and unafraid of sacrifice of the soldiers to attack the Japanese fighter planes.
As Japanese fighter jets, bombers and reconnaissance planes dispersed and avoided, the hit rate of ground anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns was greatly reduced, but Japanese aircraft were still hit from time to time, bursting out brilliant sparks in the air. At this time, the Japanese fighter group finally returned
After thinking about it, I realized that I might have fallen into a trap carefully set by the Chinese army. However, due to the usual arrogance of the Japanese army, the Japanese fighter planes did not retreat, but began to look for targets and violently hit the ground fire points, especially
Japanese light and heavy bombers poured bombs one after another.
In a short period of time, the Japanese bombers dropped tens of thousands of kilograms of bombs on the fire points they considered threatening. The ground shook and roared continuously. The air shock waves set off when the aerial bombs exploded were very frightening.
The sky was covered with mud and sand, and the entire ground was shrouded in gunpowder smoke.
Fortunately, the design of Anjiajun's ground air defense positions is extremely clever. Anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns are organically combined, all of which are set up in permanent fortifications built in a triangular shape. This kind of semi-open bunker made of reinforced concrete cannot be used unless
A direct hit, otherwise neither the air wave caused by the aerial bomb nor the shrapnel splashed up would cause fatal damage to our ground air defense personnel.
Since the Japanese Army Aviation Group is not currently equipped with dive bombers such as the German Stuka, and coupled with the threat of strong ground firepower, the Japanese bombers can only drop bombs at high altitudes, which is very problematic in terms of accuracy. Therefore, the current casualties of ground air defense forces
Still able to bear it.
Bullets rained down from the sky and the ground in Baoding City, and explosions and flames could be seen everywhere. During the melee, a Japanese fighter plane was hit by ground artillery fire and rushed straight towards the residential areas of Baoding City, causing a huge fire. In the current tragic situation
During the open air war, no one dared to risk their lives by rushing out of the shelter or hiding place to put out the fire. Seeing the thick smoke rising into the sky in the distance, many people who were worried that their homes would be devoured by the fire could not help crying.
stand up.
"Look! What is that? An Jiajun, it's An Jiajun!"
Suddenly someone pointed at the street facing the Tibetan Soldier Cave and shouted loudly. Everyone turned around and saw a team of more than a hundred people in camouflage uniforms. They didn't care about the Japanese fighter planes raging in the sky, holding buckets and porcelain.
Basins and other water-holding utensils were rushed towards the fire point in the city.
Some young people who were deeply touched by the scene took courage and quickly joined the fire-fighting army amid the scoldings of their parents and relatives.
At this time, seven more Japanese fighter planes were hit, four were blown up in the air, and the remaining ones smoked, screamed shrilly, and raised high columns of smoke when they landed.
The battle in the open air outside the city became increasingly fierce. The Japanese pilots were well-trained. Although they suffered huge losses under the intensive anti-aircraft fire, their fighting spirit remained unabated, making various thrilling evasive maneuvers and then concentrating their firepower.
, to attack the ground air defense forces. At this time, the Japanese fighter groups had already given up the plan of chasing the fleeing Chinese Air Force. They found targets one after another and swooped down to the ground. The two 7.7 mm caliber Type 89 machine guns on the nose were like spitting fire.
Like a whip, it whipped at ground anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, and machine gun positions.
In a bunker outside the east gate city wall, a sergeant major ignored the machine gun bullets that passed over his head and hit the concrete wall behind him. He raised his head to observe and shouted loudly: "Eleven o'clock direction, direction.
At a visual distance of three hundred meters, the Nichujima Type 97 fighter jet is approaching... launching!"
The main fire output point of this bunker is a 20mm four-barreled anti-aircraft machine gun. The loader quickly loaded the shells, the aiming hand stirred the steering gear and the height machine, and the large cross-ring direct sight was aimed at the menacing aircraft.
When the fighter jets heard the sergeant's firing order, they immediately stepped on the firing mechanism under their feet. With the sound of "bang bang bang bang", the shells were rapidly fired at the enemy aircraft.
The Japanese fighter pilot was probably an experienced old pilot. He dived and fired while continuously swinging left and right. Several times the shells passed by the fuselage of the opponent's aircraft. The sergeant major and the loader in the bunker were hit by machine gun bullets.
He fell down with a stream of blood. He gritted his teeth and continued shooting, finally hitting the tail of the enemy plane. The Japanese pilot was also a ruthless character. Knowing that the plane could not be saved, he just controlled the fighter plane and crashed straight into the anti-aircraft gun position.
passed.
The four warriors were instantly smashed into pieces by the fighter planes that rushed straight down. "Boom--", a violent explosion sounded immediately. The flesh and blood of the hero was mixed with the flesh and blood of Little Japan. In the continuous explosions and the sky-high flames, the four warriors were instantly smashed into pieces.
Zhonghua turned into fly ash...
...
Faced with the madness of the Japanese fighter planes, the ground air defense forces also deliberately increased their firepower output. Thirty-six 88mm Flak 18 towed air defense artillery purchased from Germany were all used with high-explosive bombs equipped with time fuses, striving to
Destroy the arrogance of Japanese fighter planes.
This high-explosive bomb has a total weight of 14.7 kilograms and a shell weighing 9.5 kilograms. It explodes in the target area after being launched into the air, and the flying shrapnel has terrifying lethality.
Ye Ziquan, who was directing the operation in an underground bunker, saw with his own eyes that when a high-explosive bomb exploded in the air, it happened to destroy two Japanese fighter planes at the same time. He was stunned and immediately gave birth to a thought. After the battle, he suggested to An Yi to purchase a large amount of this kind of bomb.
Anti-aircraft guns or simply buy production lines from the Germans and produce them yourself.
Since almost all ground firepower was aimed at the Japanese fighter group, which was almost going crazy, this provided Japanese bombers with the opportunity to drop bombs at low altitudes.
Japanese fighter planes, including several reconnaissance aircraft groups that had already entered the battlefield, began to drop aerial bombs like raindrops. The ground was filled with flames and explosions that pierced people's eardrums came one after another. In the thick smoke, dirt and gravel were thrown down.
Mixed with broken limbs and broken arms, they were scattered everywhere.
Violent air waves surged everywhere, and mud pillars rose into the sky, as if the end of the world was coming.
For the first time since the war, the air defense force suffered large-scale casualties, and nearly half of the firepower went out of action. However, in this close-quarters battle, the Japanese fighter losses were also extremely heavy. The 77 main fighter planes are now only
There are twenty of them left, and they are still launching attacks on the ground tirelessly, having long forgotten that their responsibility is to deal with the powerful enemy in the air.
"Let's do it!"
Hidden in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters, Captain Gao Zhihang of the Fourth Battalion of the Central Air Force received the order from the ground command center to attack. He shouted into the intercom and immediately swooped down like a tiger out of its cage, towards the unconscious people.
Japanese fighter planes pounced.
Gao Zhihang was born in a poor family in Tonghua, Northeast China. In the spring of 2005, he was selected as a pilot by Zhang Xueliang and sent to France to study. At that time, his name was not Gao Zhihang, but Gao Zhiheng. Before going abroad, he approached Zhang Xueliang and asked to be his pilot.
He changed his name. He said: "To defend the motherland and become an air hero is my goal." From then on, "Zhihang" was both his name and his motto that inspired him. In 2006, he graduated with honors and continued to work in the military after returning to China.
Further studies in Shenyang. On the day of September 18th, Gao Zhihang actively requested a fight and asked to take off to kill the enemy, but what he received was an order of "no resistance". Gao Zhihang got on the train in a rage and went to Peking to ask Zhang Xueliang face to face, but the same thing happened.
Reply. Under such circumstances, Gao Zhihang left the Northeast Army and went south. He preferred to be demoted one level and finally stayed at the Central Aviation School. Due to his hard training, strict requirements, and superb flying skills, he soon became a member of the Fourth Aviation Group
Captain, he led three fighter squadrons and was stationed at Baoding Airport until the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, competing with Japanese aircraft for dominance in the skies of North China.
When he was still more than 2,000 meters away from the enemy planes below, Gao Zhihang said to the intercom again: "Attention, everyone, first destroy any enemy planes you see. If the Japanese fighter planes come up to fight, destroy the Japanese fighter planes."
As the main target. Although the enemy bombers are also equipped with aviation machine guns, their air movements are extremely clumsy, their ceilings are very low, and their flight speeds are extremely slow. As long as we eliminate the Japanese fighter jets, these bombers will become our meat.
Fish! Do you understand?"
"yes!"
Soon a lively reply came from the earphones. Gao Zhihang nodded. It seemed that he had listened to the tragic battle below through the radio system. All the brothers could no longer hold back and were eager to vent their gushing desires and passions.
In an instant, circling Japanese fighter planes appeared in front. Gao Zhihang yelled: "Brothers, kill!" Then he pressed the cannon and machine gun firing buttons. In an instant, a Japanese Mitsubishi Type 92 heavy bomber was hit and exploded.
The remaining twenty-four fighter planes swooped down and opened fire in unison, firing cannons and machine guns. In almost one encounter, the Japanese fighter planes lost thirteen fighter planes. Except for some that directly hit the volley and set off fireworks, the rest were dragged down.
A long plume of thick smoke hit the ground, and the flames of the explosion rose dozens of meters high.
It was only then that the Japanese fighter jets discovered the shadow of the Chinese Air Force and panicked. Almost all bombers and reconnaissance planes hurriedly dropped the remaining bombs in order to reduce the load of the aircraft as much as possible and tried to rely on their onboard weapons.
, fight to the death with the Chinese Air Force.
The sudden attack just now caused another reduction in the number of Japanese fighter jets.
Among the sixteen remaining fighter jets, only one Nakajima 97 fighter jet with the most superior performance is left. The Japanese fighter group has woken up from the previous madness and quickly adjusted its course. After confirming the position and number of Chinese fighter jets,
He frantically raised his altitude, trying to find an opportunity to flank the Chinese fighter plane and carry out a sneak attack.
