Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

"Captain, let me go first in this attack."

"It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment to use it. I have trained a lot for today."

"What's more, I am the person with the highest hit rate of dive bombs in our entire Air Force Division. Use me in the first battle! Use me to win!"

This mission is extremely difficult. After all, the pilot not only has to fly at ultra-low altitude, but also has to throw aerial bombs into a fixed area on the city wall.

Once the wrong flight route is chosen, the fighter plane will definitely not have time to rise after the bomb is dropped. At that time, the bombed city wall will become a board-mounted city wall.

But Fang Ziyi's situation is very special. In a sense, he is a warrior born to attack the ground.

During World War II, when the aviation force used uncontrolled guided missiles, the hit rate was not as high as expected.

Even the most elite Stuka formation in Germany's third division can only maintain a hit rate of about 70%. This is the data from the blitz against Poland.

The efficiency of horizontal bombing will be lower. If you want to destroy targets in a certain area, you must use large-scale carpet bombing.

The main problem is that the attacker cannot aim accurately. Even if there is a corresponding and matching sight, it may not be able to reduce the circular probability error of airborne weapons.

Destroying the USS Arizona battleship with an aerial bomb required not only strength but also luck, and there was almost no possibility of duplication.

There are currently five types of aerial bombs commonly used by the First Air Division. Although they have different weights and powers, they are all high-resistance aerial bombs.

This results in the soldiers' hit rate being easily affected by weather factors. Especially on windy days, the efficiency of air force ground support is extremely poor.

But even under such difficult conditions, Fang Ziyi's aerial bomb hit rate was still astonishingly high.

Let’s take the Red Sun Rocket, the anti-sun weapon that is loved by the whole army, as an example. Compared with its future descendants, its accuracy can definitely be regarded as the level of a goddess scattering flowers.

If put in a certain game, walking would probably be no better than the secondary gun-style big monkey.

According to statistics, during the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, when the Kongyi Division attacked moving ground units, it required an average of thirty rockets to hit the target once.

This is still under the premise of shallow dive at 20 degrees and launch at close range.

But Fang Ziyi seemed to be a big step ahead of his comrades. His hit rate was 30% higher than the average of the entire division.

Without the assistance of professional sights and computers, such a record and hit rate are like monsters, and the whole person seems to have a ballistic calculator.

This is why the six fighting heroes are extremely optimistic about Fang Ziyi.

After thinking for a moment, Captain Wang Hai said in the communication channel:

"Okay, I'll leave the first siege to you. I have only one request. Safety is the priority in all actions."

"If you find that there is a problem with the angle of entry midway, you must immediately throw away the bomb and climb again. Don't force yourself. The commander-in-chief has given us plenty of time. If it doesn't work, just try a few more rounds."

"Let's go! Good luck!"

After getting permission from his captain, Fang Ziyi slowly pushed the stick, causing the fighter jet to continue to drop in altitude.

In this operation, he did not fly the Spitfire of his comrades, but chose the Hurricane that he was most familiar with. After all, changing uniforms before the war was taboo.

The pointer on the altimeter slowly swings to the left, gradually changing from 4000 to 1700.

When there was only one kilometer left from Taiyuan City, the Hurricane Fighter No. 192 dived down quickly, giving the Japanese on the wall no time to react.

Fang Ziyi felt as if all the blood in his body was concentrated in his legs in an instant.

However, this feeling of walking on the edge of a knife made him extremely excited, so he only needed a few more anti-aircraft guns as an atmosphere set to add to the fun.

The distance between the fighter jet and the city wall and the ground is getting closer and closer, as if it will crash in the next second.

If it were an ordinary pilot, perhaps at the moment of entering a rapid dive, he would choose to give up the action because he could not bear the strong visual impact and psychological pressure.

On the ground, the soldiers of the Southern Group were all staring intently at the friendly forces above.

Although most people don't know who is flying the fighter jet, they all silently pray for the unknown warrior in their hearts, hoping that the other person can return safely.

At this moment, Fang Ziyi could only see the city wall, as if time had stood still.

Now is the most critical moment, and attention must be maintained. Any unnecessary operation will put you in a situation of no return.

After reaching the ultimate safe height, he pressed the bomb release button.

The moment the bomb was thrown out, even the weight of the fighter jet became a little lighter.

Fang Ziyi took the opportunity to retract the throttle valve and at the same time pull the joystick with all his strength. Because of the excessive force, his expression looked a little ferocious.

"rise!"

"Good brother! Fly quickly!"

As if hearing the call of his comrades, the Hurricane fighter's nose tilted up and began to climb a hundred meters away from the city wall.

It is worth mentioning that the enemies on the city wall were not panicked by the sudden air attack.

Under the leadership of their respective commanders, the Japs actually started to fight back with their 38 guns and light and heavy machine guns. I really don’t know if it’s the effect of Bushido brainwashing, or if it’s the fearlessness of those who don’t know.

After the crisis was over, Fang Ziyi relaxed a lot and was even in the mood to tease the enemy.

"It's such a pity. I just focused on controlling the plane. It would be great if I could fire a few shots from the aircraft's machine gun."

"Bushido? It's just common man's courage. My after-school homework at the Border Aviation Academy is more difficult than killing you."

Although intelligence indicates that the First Army does not possess large-scale air defense weapons.

But he was still very vigilant and kept zigzagging during the climb to prevent any accidents from happening.

It's always right to be cautious. After all, the current altitude is still within the effective range of the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

A few seconds later, two modified 227-kilogram aerial bombs hit the city wall at a 45-degree angle with a harsh rotating blade sound. Under the action of dive inertia, they kept a 45-degree angle.

Only then did the Japs of the First Army know that doom was about to come.

"Click × 2!"

The steel bars carried the aerial bombs and were smoothly inserted into the city wall.

"boom!"

The first one exploded first, and the southern city wall of Taiyuan was immediately shrouded in black smoke, and a large hole was blasted out of the originally solid wall.

The power of the 227 kilogram aerial bomb instantly cleared the defenders' organizational level. Those Japs who were relatively close to the center of the explosion were even coughed up blood by the shock wave.

Flesh and blood cannot resist the power of technology.

"boom!"

The second aerial bomb exploded immediately. The two explosion points were only thirty meters apart, and the city wall had become precarious.

Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, Fang Ziyi pushed the throttle to climb quickly. The hurricane fighter's flight trajectory was somewhat like pulling onions on dry land.

Obviously, the Japanese did not want to let the culprit go. On the rooftops of the city, several machine gun emplacements opened fire.

It's a pity that the maximum effective range of the Type 92 heavy machine gun is not enough. Maybe 2,700 meters is a chasm for infantry, but the hurricane's combat power can reach a safe height in only ten seconds.

Those incompetent and furious heavy machine guns were like a salute to send off guests.

What's more, the Hurricane has a metal structure fuselage, and there is a bulletproof steel plate on the belly.

Compared with a fragile little fighter like the Type 97, its defensive capabilities can be described as incredible.

When the distance between the two sides exceeds one thousand meters, the bullets from the Type 92 heavy machine gun pose no threat at all. At most, they will leave a few bullet marks on the fuselage.

"192! Please reply when you receive it!"

"How is your condition? Are you injured? I saw you were hit. Can you return?"

After hearing his captain's inquiry, Fang Ziyi replied while checking.

There were no abnormalities on all the instruments on the instrument panel, and the warning lights did not flash, indicating that the key parts of the aircraft were intact. It was most likely that the wings or tail had been hit a few times by the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

"Captain, I am not injured and everything is normal on the plane."

"I am now preparing to return to the aircraft carrier and replenish the aerial bombs before returning to the battlefield."

After hearing Fang Ziyi's energetic voice, Captain Wang Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief. The attack just now was too thrilling from his perspective.

Once an accident occurs, the opponent will not even have a chance to parachute.

If his subordinates died in front of his eyes, he would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Just as Captain Wang Hai was about to reply, a deafening explosion came from the direction of the Eastern Group's attack, and even the two people in the sky could hear it.

"Okay! Go and come back quickly."

"The hole is not big enough now, we have to come back for a few more rounds."

"There seems to be a harvest in the east. Be careful that Wang Tianbao and Jiang Daoping steal your first achievement."

······

Southern Group, field command post.

After an hour of indiscriminate bombing, nineteen large holes were blown out of the east and west walls of Taiyuan. It only took one more blast by engineers to open up a passage into the city.

It's not that Yoshio Iwamatsu never thought of sending people to block the opening, but the fighters of the Sora Division didn't give him any chance at all. In the turn-by-turn combat mode, rushing to repair fortifications means that infantry and engineers will die in vain.

Looking at the tattered city wall, the brigade commander showed an advantage in my smile.

The battle can basically be declared a victory now. Even the law of cause and effect weapons cannot save the First Army.

"Report to the commander-in-chief that the bunkers, bunkers, firepower points, barbed wire fences, deer villages and mines outside Taiyuan have been cleared."

"The four groups have prepared for battle according to the original plan! All ten breakthrough points designated before the war have been cleared by our army."

"Please give me your instructions if we can launch a general attack!"

After hearing the question from the thin man's chief of staff, the brigade commander put down the telescope in his hand.

At present, the biggest obstacle to the 129th Division's attack on the city has been arbitrarily cleared by the Kongyi Division. The next stage of the task is to break through the moat.

After the Hundred Regiment War, Yoshio Shinozuka not only built a fortification complex surrounding the city, but also transformed a moat nine meters wide and three meters deep based on the moats of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

It's a pity that Japan is a small country after all, and has never seen much of the world.

Even if the old Japanese could build the moat to one-tenth the size of Xiangyang, the 129th Division would not have the slightest idea of ​​attacking Taiyuan.

"Pass my order! The two major groups in the east and south attack at the same time!"

"I'm going to let Yoshio Iwamatsu know today that there are so many people that you can do whatever you want!"

"Order the artillery to shoot at the city wall! If any Japanese dares to block the progress of our infantry, we will send them to meet their own locusts."

Following the brigade commander's order, the loud charge horn sounded throughout the positions of the East and South Groups.

Under the cover of more than 300 M18 cannons, the soldiers launched a group charge towards Taiyuan City.

For the First Army, which lacked heavy weapons, it was impossible to keep the Eighth Route Army outside the city wall.

It is worth mentioning that in this battle, in addition to a large number of infantry and artillery, more than 3,000 engineers participated in the breakthrough.

Under the cover of the artillery and the First Air Division, the two engineering regiments quickly removed all kinds of remaining obstacles outside the moat.

They also carried various river-crossing equipment such as reed bridges, loose-leaf bridges, ladder bridges, and ladders, preparing to help the infantry cross the river.

These tools are inseparable from the strong support of the people of Shanxi.

Having been oppressed by the Japs for so many years, as soon as they heard that the Eighth Route Army needed reeds to attack Taiyuan, the villagers sent more than 500 carts of reeds that day, almost plucking out all the reeds along the Fen River.

After the general attack began, it took the infantry and engineers only half an hour to rush to the moat.

Facing a river more than two meters deep, the engineer regiment leader took the lead and rushed in with the river crossing equipment.

"Get out of the way! I'll go first!"

"Comrades behind, keep up, no one should be left behind!"

"Even if we die in the river today, we must let all the infantry rush over!"

"It's ×1337!"

After the deafening roar, all the soldiers in the regiment did not hesitate at all, carrying the pontoon and jumping into the river so that the friendly forces could attack smoothly.

Although the three artillery regiments were fully firing, they provided sufficient fire support. However, some Japanese soldiers were forced by their superiors to take up arms in an attempt to fight back.

During the crossing of the bridge, the Eighth Route Army had almost no power to fight back.

Naturally, the enemy will not let go of such a good opportunity.

Facing the attack of bullets and grenade launchers, infantrymen were hit and fell into the river from time to time. The casualties of the engineers were not optimistic either, but they gritted their teeth and carried the pontoon on their shoulders.

The river water gradually turned red with blood.

Under this situation, the soldiers crossed the river faster and faster, and everyone was filled with anger.

All comrades understand one thing. If you want to protect your comrades, you must rush into the city so that the Japanese have no chance to threaten the following troops.

With the coordinated operations of multiple arms of our army and the extended firing of powerful artillery fire, soldiers from a brigade of the Southern Group quickly arrived at the gap in the city wall.

After fixed-point blasting, several large holes tens of meters wide were blown open.

As the main force of the 129th Division, the 386th Brigade rushed to the front without giving up.

The comrades were not afraid of sacrifice and rushed into Taiyuan City to build a bridgehead for the following fraternal troops.

After the infantry entered the city, the artillery temporarily stopped shelling.

The situation in the city is complicated, and no one can guarantee that there are ordinary people in any building.

If you want to avoid accidental damage and even support the infantry, the artillery must enter the city, which means that the soldiers need manpower to carry the artillery over long distances.

After a while, the three artillery regiment commanders of the Southern Group came to the combat command room together. They slapped the letters of determination and guarantees signed by the soldiers of each regiment on the table.

"Commander-in-Chief! Our artillery is also going into the city!"

"The enemy has set up a large number of firepower points in Taiyuan City. Mortars and 40-gun fire alone are definitely not enough. The infantry will definitely suffer heavy losses without fire support."

"We promise not to fall behind, even if we don't have horses and trucks, we will keep up with the army!"

"Okay! Let's go!"

Alas, life is not easy, Cat sighed.
