Life in the world of film and television

Chapter 427 Air Defense and Situation

In the next few days, Li Mu still flew to the front line every day in a Hawker 75 fighter jet equipped with cameras.

This time his purpose is not to wipe out the enemy, but to collect intelligence and survey the terrain.Although I encountered two Japanese planes again, I got rid of them easily.

At other times, most of the time is spent studying the videos taken every day.

This serves two purposes:

One is to be familiar with the terrain, terrain and cities. These days, when flying a fighter jet, there is no navigation, no radar, and no recognition of the road.Not to mention night raids, the vision at night is not as good as that during the day, and it is more necessary to be familiar with the terrain.

While watching the actual ground conditions in the video recorder, he compared the map, studied the layout of mountains, rivers and cities, and tried to remember it in his mind.Try to remember to memorize melons thoroughly, know the coordinates, and close your eyes to be able to clearly understand the surrounding situation.

On the other hand, through the video recording, it is also possible to observe the situation on the battlefield from another angle, combined with the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department, and the materials seen before.Strive to grasp the dynamics of the battlefield and the movements of the small book, and wait for the opportunity to dispatch.

In the past few days, many things have also happened. Because the little devil has recently invaded Xuzhou, the eastern Henan area is under great threat and is in danger of falling.

Local middle schools have also organized staff and started to move inland.Nanyang, the rear of Yu Province, has such good conditions now that it has become the first choice.

Li Mu attached great importance to this matter, so he went back to Nanyang City specially, called a meeting with various departments, and asked them to do a good job in accepting and resettling them.

After dealing with this matter, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the increasingly tense situation.The stability of the Nanyang area is hard-won and must be preserved.

Back at the foreign-style building at the airport, I immediately contacted the Singapore Far East Trading Company to generate electricity and asked them to order weapons on their behalf.

After flying a fighter plane for a while, he realized the huge threat in the air. He can attack the enemy by air, and the enemy can also attack him by air. With Nanyang's current prevention and control situation, there is no way to stop it.

After communicating several times, Li Mu finally chose two anti-aircraft weapons.

One is the Su Luotong ST-5 20mm machine gun. In China, it is generally considered that a gun with a caliber of less than 20 mm is called a gun, and anything with a caliber of more than 20 mm is called a cannon.

The Surothong machine gun is nominally made in Switzerland, but in fact it is a German technology.After World War I, the Treaty of Versailles imposed strict restrictions on the production of German-made weapons.The German Rheinmetall company and the Swiss company Su Luotong carried out a series of cooperation, bypassing the relevant regulations, and achieved the purpose of laying eggs through the backdoor.

The Suluotong ST-5 cannon weighs 80 kg, has a maximum range of 5600 meters, a maximum firing height of 3600 meters, and a rate of fire of 220-300 rounds per minute. It is easy to operate and has a fast rate of fire. It can penetrate 500 mm at a distance of 30 meters. steel plate.It is said that the armor of Xiaobenzi's armored vehicle is only 6mm thick.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Su Luotong ST-5 cannon participated in almost every major battle and achieved certain results.Although the shooting height is not enough to deal with high-altitude fighters, it still poses a great threat to low-altitude targets.

Not only can it defend against air, but it is also a powerful weapon against armored vehicles and tanks. As for the thin-skinned tanks and chariots in the small book, it is accurate.

The second is the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun, which is a well-known ground anti-aircraft weapon in World War II. During World War II, the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun was widely equipped in the armies and navies of the Allied countries, with extraordinary results.Arguably the best medium-caliber anti-aircraft gun of World War II

Li Mu wanted to rely on these two weapons to form an air defense battalion to defend against Nanyang's air threats.

In addition, in order to improve the firepower of the troops, Li Muhua plans to purchase a batch of heavy weapons, heavy artillery and armored vehicles.

The export of these two weapons is currently very strict in various countries, especially heavy artillery.But it is not impossible. For international arms dealers, as long as the money is in place, it is no problem to buy a batch in the name of a small European country.

There were not many targets for the heavy artillery. Li Mu finally chose the Rhine-style 150mm heavy howitzer. The principal seemed to have purchased this type of heavy artillery.

After several telegram exchanges, the quotation given by the international arms dealer is [-] US dollars each, which is more expensive than fighter jets. However, it is normal for middlemen to offer this price.However, the number that can be obtained is not many, no more than twenty.

This kind of heavy artillery is really difficult to get, and sometimes it can't be bought with money.Since there could not be more than [-] doors, Li Mu directly ordered [-] doors.

This gun is equipped with two kinds of shells, high-explosive grenades and armor-piercing shells, and the price of each shell is 40-50 US dollars.

Regardless of the high price, the weight of these shells is really heavy, like high-explosive grenade, each shell weighs about 43.5 kilograms, and there are less than 23 shells per ton. Calculated, one ton of shells is worth about one kilogram of gold.

I know that this kind of shell is not easy to make, and it is quite difficult to imitate it compared with ordinary shells.

After thinking about it for a moment, I spent 45 US dollars and directly ordered [-] rounds of shells. There are a total of four to five hundred tons, which is enough for several years.

When the goods arrive, a heavy artillery battalion can be formed.

Currently, there are not many targets for tanks to choose from. Li Mu chose the Praga LT-38 light tank. As the standard light tank of the Czech Army, it is relatively easy to buy, and the Czech Republic also welcomes exports.

Another advantage of this light tank is that it is relatively cheap.

坦克全重9吨。乘员3或4人。装备一门37毫米炮，与2挺7.92毫米机枪。使用一台普拉加125马力汽油液冷发动机，最高速度42公里/小时。

This kind of data is very common in Europe. Compared with the small tanks, it is still quite strong.

One set costs around US$1.8, and Li Mu ordered [-] sets to try out in an armored battalion first.

Li Mu ordered another batch of aerial bombs.

In addition, militia reserve personnel are trained in rotation without weapons. Even if several people have a gun and hand it in again after training, they must have a gun.

Through the Far East Commercial Bank, Li Mu ordered another 98 Mauser 25k rods, this time without bullets, at [-] dollars a rod.

Machine guns, heavy machine guns, and mortars were also ordered as reserves.However, it can also be given to the reserve militia for training and learning.

……

In this way, after studying and memorizing the terrain for a few days, I can almost recognize Lunan and Subei even with my eyes closed, and then I gave up.

Next, Li Mu began to look for a suitable target.However, after all, the Military Intelligence Department was established not long ago, and the information is relatively rough.The materials I have seen before, as well as the images taken by the plane, are relatively one-sided.Moreover, due to his participation, there may be a butterfly effect, and the information seen in the real world may not be accurate.

After thinking about it, someone called the Military Intelligence Department.

"Pei Ming!"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Peiming said, "The staff department is here."

Li Mu said: "You should contact the north side. There is a strict underground organization in northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong. You can ask them if they can provide us with some information about the fifth war zone, especially the specific situation of the war against Japan."

Liu Peiming didn't hesitate at all: "Yes, I'll get in touch right away."

Li Mu said: "Don't worry, I'll write you a note later, you go and get a batch of gasoline, steel, and gunpowder raw materials. Take two radio stations and send someone to send them there. It's not surprising that there are so many people."

……

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu continued to study the information in front of him. Soon, Liu Peiming sent a message that the North agreed.

After collecting all kinds of information, Li Mu also had a clearer understanding of the dynamics of the battlefield. It is now the early stage of the Xuzhou Battle, and the Taierzhuang Battle is about to start.

First of all, the surnamed Han in Lu Province fled without a fight, and the small book on Jinpu Road could go south at any time. Qingshi has become an isolated point strategically, and has no value in defending.

So the defenders went south and defended along the north bank of the Huaihe River in order to block the enemy's northward advance. The defense of Qingshi could only adopt a negative attitude.

Subsequently, the Fifth Division of Xiaobenzi Itagaki forcibly landed at Laoshan Bay and Fukushima in Qingshi.After occupying Qingshi, they marched west along Jiaoji Road, turned south to Weixian County, passed through Gaomi, followed the line of Zhucheng and Juxian, and entered Linyi.Responding to the Isoya Division on the Jinpu Line, they advanced together.

The two sides took Taierzhuang as the target of the meeting and responded to the enemy's offensive in the southern section of Jinpu Road in an attempt to jointly attack Xuzhou.

The Itagaki and Isoya divisions are both veteran troops in the small book.Almost all the officers and soldiers were fanatics, and the young faction who launched the [-] coup were almost all within these two divisions.

As the Fifth Division of Banheng went south, Linyi was in a hurry.Linyi is [-] kilometers away from Taierzhuang, which is the barrier to the northeast of Xuzhou.If Linyi is not protected, the Banyuan Division can go directly from Qingshi to Tai and Xu, threatening the safety of Longhai and Jinpu Roads, and its strategic position is extremely important.

It is an important town that must be fought for in the military, and the gains and losses are related to the overall situation.

The [-]th Army of Pangbu, which was originally guarding Haizhou, was transferred to Linyi to hold on and block the enemy's advance.

Although the Fortieth Army is one army, it actually has only five regiments, and it is still a miscellaneous army.Even so, in the face of the Banheng division, the momentum was not lost at all.

From the end of February, the two sides had a fierce offensive and defensive battle in Linyi.Xiaobenzi used the superior force of the first division, and attached the first mountain artillery regiment and the first cavalry brigade, to pounce on the [-]th army.The soldiers of the [-]th regiment of the [-]th Army occupied the city to the death.Xiaobenzi fought repeatedly for days and nights, but he couldn't move forward.

Commander Li of the Fifth War Zone is in Xuzhou at the moment, and there are many war reporters there. They heard that the old Banheng Division of the small book was frustrated by a little-known miscellaneous army, and many people wrote reports.

Since the invasion of Xiaobenzi, the war has been going smoothly, and the various ministries have become more and more arrogant, and they value face very much. How could they bear this, and began to supervise the battle and attack.

Regardless of weapons or numbers, the [-]th Army is far behind, and they all rely on perseverance.Facing Xiaobenzi's desperate onslaught, the situation is in danger.

Accidentally, not to mention losing Linyi, the whole army does not know how many people are left.

A few days ago, Commander Li of the fifth war zone sent General Zhang to lead the 59th Army from eastern Henan to the Jinpu line for reinforcements.However, in the face of the enemy's bombing and blocking, it will take at least three days, and NO.12 will arrive in Linyi in March.

Li Mu looked at the time. Today is March [-]th. He found more detailed information and began to study it.

……

At four o'clock in the morning on March [-]th, it was dark outside, Li Mu woke up early, got up, dressed and washed.

At [-]:[-], the ground crew had already refueled the fighter jets, made maintenance and various preparations.

Li Mu took a deep breath, stopped his excitement, and climbed onto the fighter jet.

Soon, the plane started slowly, flew into the blue sky, and galloped towards Lunan, Xuzhou.

More than an hour later, the plane arrived near Linyi, and the whole county was quiet, with traces of the war everywhere.

He didn't stop, and flew to Tangtou Town in the north of Linyi.

Soon arrived near Tangtou Town, at an altitude of 5000 meters, Li Mu slowed down slowly, opened the hatch, took out the binoculars, and kept adjusting the angle of the plane while hovering to the left and right, and looked down with the binoculars.

I don't know whether the little book is too arrogant or too confident. There are many lights on the ground, and the deployment of the army can be seen clearly. Is it really not afraid of air strikes? What a goal this is.

To be honest, I'm really not afraid.

Since the invasion of Xiaobenzi, they have always carried out air strikes. How many times have domestic planes carried out air strikes?Most of them are used for defense and reconnaissance, which has also made Xiaobenzi a habit, and he rarely cares about threats in the air.

Although, recently, some army planes were attacked, and a military supply station was bombed, which was only an accidental incident, and it has not been encountered a few times since the invasion.

Xiaobenzi's plane searched several times a few days ago, but found no clues, thinking that the Guofu occasionally made a bold move, and let it go.

This time, Li Mu was lucky. There were not dozens of planes, so the noise was not very loud, and at an altitude of 5000 meters, it took more than ten seconds for the sound to reach the ground, so the noise was even smaller.

Even if people on the ground can hear it, if they don't distinguish it carefully, they may not be able to recognize the sound of the plane.

As for seeing with eyes, this is night, even if there is starlight, it is okay for short-distance targets, but it is really not good for targets 5000 meters away.

After circling for a few weeks, Li Mu finally used his binoculars to see clearly the situation below. The devils were stationed in Tangtou Town and its surrounding areas except for one infantry stationed in the position.

In Tangtou Town, I don't know if there are any residents. Li Mu was a little scrupulous about bombing, but there were a few good targets outside the town.

One was the Artillery Regiment, with about thirty to eighty guns.The exact number is unclear, and many places are dark, even with a telescope, it is hard to see clearly; another target is armored vehicles, there are more than 30 armored vehicles and tanks.

The last target was the cavalry brigade, which was stationed far away from Tangtou Town. This brigade seemed more vigilant because of its horses. Li Mu didn't dare to approach it. He just observed it with binoculars from a distance, which could be used as an alternate target.

Among these targets, the artillery is the most threatening to Li Mu, because they have several antiaircraft guns for dealing with air targets, so they can naturally attack him first.

Li Mu flew over the artillery position and looked down. It was too high and it was easy to miss.

After circling in a circle and descending to a position of more than 2000 meters, the soldiers on duty below seemed to hear something, and stretched their heads to look into the sky, but found nothing.

Li Mu smiled, and stretched out his fighter plane with one hand. In an instant, a piece of wool appeared in his hand, and a 250 kg aerial bomb appeared more than seven meters away.

The next moment, the aerial bomb, carrying wool, fell straight down.

Half a second later, the space opened up again, and another 250kg aerial bomb fell down.

Seeing flying out of the artillery position, Li Mu circled for half a circle.In the next second, the space was opened twice in a row again, and two 250 kg aerial bombs fell down one after the other.
