Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 155 True! Eighth Route Army Superman Li Yunlong!

 At 6:30 in the morning on August 21st, the sky was sunny with few clouds.

 Although today was generally a good day for flying, the state and mood of Army Aviation Major Masaki Asakawa could be said to be extremely bad.

 In order to support the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, every pilot in their flying team dispatched at least once.

But even after achieving this level, the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, severely reprimanded Asakawa Masato and warned everyone to stop their passive attitude.

When twenty-three Type 97 fighter jets passed over the Zhengtai Railway, every member of the Army Aviation showed a serious expression.

 The two previous attacks were at night. Due to the lack of vision, no one noticed the small movements of the Eighth Route Army. It's dawn now, and the fragmented Zhengtai Road can be seen at a glance.

As a member of Army Aviation, Asakawa Masaki is not worried that his team will be punished. After all, no matter how much the blame is divided, they cannot be blamed.

But in this situation, I definitely won’t be able to think about resting in the next few days.

As the only air force available to the Shanxi First Army, whether these people are willing or not, they have to become model workers and fight throughout the game.

As if he was making plans for his career, Asakawa Masaki looked at the blue sky in trance.

 But at this moment, the wingman on the lower left suddenly changed his flight trajectory. The opponent held their machines parallel and signaled to him with tactical hand signals and blackboards.

Facing the somewhat comical performance art, the Army Aviation Major shook his head helplessly, and then turned on the communicator on his plane.

 The Type 97 fighter jets of the First Army were all refitted two months ago.

Those B-type aircraft equipped with Type 96 Flying No. 3 wireless aircraft completely freed them from the dilemma of flying primitives.

Although there are shortcomings in the country's electromagnetic technology, spark plugs and generators seriously interfere with radio devices, causing frequent noise when members of the Army Aviation Corps communicate.

 But overall, Asakawa Masaki still likes this new gadget. After all, they didn't need to lose weight, and they could even lick the ground gracefully in the comfortable combat environment of the Republic of China.

“Akiyama-kun, you are a noble member of the Army Air Force, how can you use primitive communication methods like those Navy Red Deers?”

“Technology is the most powerful force. I heard that the Type 1 Fighting Falcon has already been put into production. It is a faster fighter. Do you still need to rely on gestures to communicate with your teammates at that time? It will be difficult!”

“Okay, let’s get down to business. Do you see any target?”

There was silence in the communication channel for a few seconds, and then an electric voice came out. It seemed that the other party was really not good at this new way of communication.

 “Major! I just saw the enemy, please follow me!”

Without waiting for his parents to reply, Akiyama Chuntian manipulated the fighter for half a circle and flew towards the place just passing.

Even though he really didn’t want to go, Asakawa Masaki still said hello to the other people in the team, and then followed the opponent’s flight path.

 A minute later, the two arrived at their destination, where a team of several hundred people was destroying the railway.

 Obviously the Eighth Route Army below also knew that they were exposed. When they saw the Japanese fighter jets coming back again, they quickly dispersed and hid in the mountains.

 Encountering such a rare opportunity, Akiyama Haruta was naturally unwilling to give up.

On weekdays, the Eighth Route Army is as slippery as loaches. The opportunity to gather in such a dense mass is too rare.

 He was sure that even if he threw two bombs at random, as long as they were not too far off, he could definitely kill many enemies. When the time comes to use his ancestral skills to lick the ground, he may achieve more results in one go than last month.

Thinking of this, the devil raised a cruel smile and said to his superior: "Asakawa-san, let's take turns to cover and send these bandits who destroyed the property of my brother's country to hell."

A few seconds later, Masaki Asakawa’s calm voice came from the communicator. Akiyama Haruta never expected that his proposal would be rejected without mercy.

"Don't think too much and leave quickly. Don't waste time here. I won't allow you to do such a thing."

ˆ “.”

"knew."

If this matter had been done before, Asakawa Masaaki would have been happy to participate in this kind of thing, but now they have more important tasks.

 The most important point is that his flying team is entirely composed of fighter jets. In addition to a thousand rounds of 7.7mm machine gun rounds, there were only four 25kg bombs.

 This weapon is also due to the fact that the straight-line distance from Taiyuan to Yangquan is only 115 kilometers. The Type 97 fighter jet with a basic range of 800 does not need to carry an auxiliary fuel tank.

  If all the ammunition in the inventory is used up, you can only go back to the base in despair. After being found out by Shinozuka Yoshio, there will definitely be abuse and big fights.

Originally, the First Army had a certain number of light and heavy explosives, but after the Battle of Zaoyi, Yichang fell, and a large number of bombers were deployed to carry out the mission of bombing the capital of Preserved Fruit.

After figuring out the whole story, Akiyama Haruta left here unwillingly. The two quickly returned to the team and arrived near Shi Nao Mountain in just half an hour.

　　————————

 At the temporary command post of the 385th Brigade, Li Yunlong scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Several people present praised him to the point of ecstasy.

Although everyone still doesn’t know that Katayama Shotarō has been killed by a pillar, there is a consensus that the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade will not be able to attack again in a short time.

After the small talk, Brigadier Chen looked at the three regiment commanders in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he expressed his thoughts.

“Next, I am going to attack Yangquan County. I have already asked the headquarters for instructions. It is estimated that the reply from the headquarters will come in a while.”

 “Hit Yangquan?”

The person who exclaimed was Captain Zheng of the 769th Regiment. He stood up with his arms almost written on his face.

In this battle, their regiment was extremely aggrieved. The Japanese mountain artillery brigade was as disgusting as a dog.

Li Yunlong and the commander of the 14th Regiment are also gearing up and looking eager to try. As a regiment-level commander, how could he not be interested in attacking the county town?

 Seeing the three regiment commanders who were high-spirited in fighting, Brigadier Chen and Political Commissar Xie nodded with satisfaction, and then spread out the battle map on the wooden box.

"We will discuss who will take charge later. You should listen to my battle plan first."

 But at this moment, a heart-rending exclamation suddenly came from the distant position! "Japanese plane! Hidden!"

 After hearing the warning, everyone in the command room immediately ran out of the cave. In the distant sky, twenty-three monoplane fighters were rapidly approaching.

These enemy planes flew over the Lion Brain Mountain and then casually dropped the bombs they carried.

 Luckily among the misfortunes, Army aviation is accustomed to using horizontal bombing. This method of bomb delivery requires precise sights and quick planning. If operated by a Type 97 fighter jet, the effect can only be said to be very average.

As we all know, the relationship between Navy red deer and Army horse manure is particularly bad. If there is no middleman to mediate, it is definitely a level where a civil war can break out.

 In order to pursue the hit rate of bombing and maximize the survival rate of pilots during the attack, IJN aviation has already begun to use dive bombing tactics on a large scale.

After all, the enemies that IJN has to face are much more powerful than those of the Army Air Force. From time to time, they have to attack fleets that are no different from hedgehogs. If they don't practice this skill well, they will die in vain.

 But just because the Navy used it first, the top brass of the Army Aviation believed that they should avoid using similar tactics.

 After all, the pilot can die, and the worst thing is to be retrained. But if you are laughed at by the navy, it will be a lifetime of humiliation.

 Such a result led to the fact that on the Songhu battlefield that year, the efficiency of naval aviation was much higher than that of army aviation.

 But Lu Aviation also has its own reasons. Who is your imaginary enemy of Red Deer? It's the British, the Chou, or the Gallic chicken. Who among these three can't use one move to put the anti-aircraft battery on full alert.

 Your IJN aviation forces are determined to find a hard nut to gnaw on, while our Army Aviation forces are all soft-boiled.

 What kind of anti-aircraft power does preserved fruit have? Except when the fight first started, there was also a bit of Oerlikon and Bofors. The quantity was originally very small, but now that the ammunition has been used up, it is not a concern at all.

Our Army Aviation bombers can drop to an altitude of several hundred meters to carry out low-altitude bombing of the preserved fruit army. After that, he would fly back to the airport slowly and confidently, reload the bomb, and fly to the battlefield again.

Even fighter planes are invincible. What kind of fighter can preserved fruit be? Except for Mao Zi's volunteer air force, there is nothing to worry about. For these relatively well-off military aviation, no dog can learn dive bombing tactics.

However, we still have to thank the captain. After all, he helped the Eighth Route Army suppress the Japanese Army Aviation's innovation in ground attack tactics, turning these days of flying in the sky into a self-righteous aristocratic army.

Although the horizontal bombing effect was not good, after the 92 bombs were dropped on Shinao Mountain, it was a little bit louder than the rain. But the Japanese pilots were not disappointed, but turned the plane's nose and circled back again.

For fighter pilots like Masaki Asakawa, they are not professional in playing with bombs. As long as they do not hurt their own people on the battlefield, success is considered a success.

Aviation machine guns are their specialty. Hunting enemy infantry with a 7.7mm machine gun is one of their few pleasures.

 The soldiers of the 385th Brigade and the New Second Regiment will not sit still and wait for death.

 It was different from the air raids encountered at night. After all, at the speed of the Japanese fighter jets at that time, the soldiers often ended before they saw the target.

 But it was broad daylight now, and everyone could see the Japanese plane clearly. Moreover, some comrades who have walked across snowy mountains and grasslands have mastered at least three calculation methods.

 Theoretically, it is possible for rifles and machine guns to fight against aircraft. There are two main reasons.

 First, because at this point in time, the iron sheets of many aircraft fuselages are not thick, and small weapons may have a chance to penetrate them.

What's more, the Japanese's Type 97 fighter jet is the product of strict implementation of the light machine design idea. Although the fuselage is very light, it also results in particularly poor defense.

 There is a serious lack of ballistic steel plates and self-sealing fuel tanks to protect pilots.

 The second reason is that the Japanese army aviation is very arrogant and often chooses to fly at low altitudes without the threat of professional air defense weapons.

They are doing this to observe the target more carefully in order to improve the accuracy of bombing or shooting.

 The above two situations give the infantry a chance to shoot down the aircraft, but this still depends on fate and the enemy must be mentally retarded.

But for the Eighth Route Army now on Shinao Mountain, our position has been exposed anyway, so we can't fight back without retaliating.

Moreover, even if the bullets of the soldiers are all wasted, they can still have the effect of disturbing and driving away, and the enemy cannot be allowed to fly at low altitude so arrogantly.

 After all, the enemy is sitting on your head and shit, so why don't you order yourself not to resist?

 After coming out of the command post, the three regiment commanders immediately ran towards the area where their troops were located.

 The performance of the New Second Regiment under air strikes was relatively worse than that of the two brother units.

 It was the first time for many recruits to see a Japanese aircraft with their own eyes. If it were not for the help of veterans, there would probably have been some unnecessary casualties.

On the way back to the position, Li Yunlong casually dragged away a new recruit who was somewhat at a loss. He slipped the recruit to a heavy machine gun position.

"Recruit Danzi, remember this. You can never just be passively beaten on the battlefield. You must use all the weapons at hand to fight back. Even if the enemy is really strong, you must break his front teeth!"

 “Even if you only have a **** box in your hand! You must attack together with me!”

“Every day we say that when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Today I will show you what this sentence means! Prepare to change my ammunition!”

 Commander Li Da pre-adjusted the shooting angle of the Type 92 heavy machine gun to a range of 40 degrees to 60 degrees, and then started aiming using the method learned during the Red JUN period.

There are many factors to consider when using a heavy machine gun to fight an aircraft. First, you must have a certain understanding of the speed of bullets. After all, it takes some time from firing to hitting.

 Secondly, you need to know the performance of the aircraft, and lastly, you need to know the speed of the opponent. Because during the time the bullet is flying, the aircraft is also in motion.

 The calculation of lead time is a very troublesome process.

  Commander Li Da formed a triangle based on the starting position of the aircraft, the starting position of the gun muzzle and the impact point, and came up with an approximate advance amount.

While the Japanese Type 97 fighter jets were flying toward the New Second Regiment again, he calmly pulled the trigger of the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

The recruits on the side were holding several springboards, and because of their nervousness, they did not even realize that their hands were scratched.

There are only 500 meters between the heavy machine gun position and the enemy aircraft. At this distance, the bullets of the heavy machine gun can completely destroy the thin-skinned and large fighter jets.

 Seeing the distance between the two sides getting closer, Li Yunlong could not suppress his emotions and shouted:

"Come on! Let's see who among us can survive to the end! I just took a step back today! I will never be your father again!"
