Predator Reborn

Chapter 334 Air Raid

"All anti-aircraft machine guns are ready... to fire..." At the moment when the three aircraft quickly dived towards their machine gun position without any warning, company commander Wang Kai did not hesitate at all.

, gave a decisive order to the soldiers around him.

"Da da da..." Just as the voice of the company commander Wang Kai fell, there was a burst of intensive machine gun fire, which reached everyone's ears. Six anti-aircraft machine guns, and six tongues of flames sprayed out, all of a sudden

The plane flying at the front was completely trapped in the dense barrage. In less than five seconds, the plane flying at the front was hit by a huge explosion.

It turned into a huge fireball.

"Ah, Baga, anti-aircraft machine guns, how come the Eighth Route Army has anti-aircraft machine guns..." Because an aircraft flying in front completely blocked the view of the pilots on the two wingmen during the attack. Just behind the six anti-aircraft machine guns

At the moment of firing, the two wingmen behind him did not notice the sudden dense fire net. They still closely followed their squad leader and continued to dive, preparing to drop bombs. Until the plane driven by the squad leader exploded in the sky, and the two wingmen behind him

Only then did he suddenly react from the shock. He couldn't help but exclaim, and wanted to raise the fuselage to avoid the dense fire net fired by the anti-aircraft machine gun.

However, under the command of a platoon leader, the six tongues of flames quickly concentrated on one of the planes that was preparing to flee. The Japanese army hugged the plane with a layer of iron tightly, and was quickly shot out amidst intensive strafing by anti-aircraft machine guns.

There were countless bullet holes. Although the Japanese pilot controlled his plane and tried his best to flip it back and forth to avoid the flying bullets. However, in less than half a minute, the tail of the plane

There was billowing smoke.

"Baga...the plane's engine was hit..." Seeing that the plane's engine slowly stopped running, and the plane itself began to descend rapidly. The little Japanese pilot was shocked and exclaimed loudly, thinking

He wanted to parachute to escape. However, the soldiers on the air defense position did not give him this chance. At the moment when the plane lost power, all six tongues of flames concentrated in the cabin of the plane. After a hail of bullets, the pilot who had just prepared to escape had not yet escaped.

As I was doing this in the driving position, bullets fired from anti-aircraft machine guns made two bloody holes in my chest as big as the mouth of a bowl...

Just after the soldiers saw the second Japanese plane rushing towards the woods outside the city with billowing smoke, they immediately turned their guns and aimed at the last remaining plane. However, at this time,

More than ten seconds have passed. More than ten seconds are enough for the little Japanese pilot to raise the fuselage.

Just as six tongues of flames swept toward the last plane, the plane had climbed to an altitude of nearly a kilometer above the ground, quickly got into the thick smoke, and disappeared from the sight of the soldiers.

Six dense tongues of flames only left a few bullet holes in the wings of the plane.

The air battle just occurred only in a corner above Taiyuan. The other three Japanese attacking teams did not have such good luck, because not only did they have to face the dense barrage of the remaining thirty anti-aircraft machine guns.

What's more important is that the low-flying Little Japanese plane has to face the fire of nearly a hundred light and heavy machine guns from the infantry.

In the end, among the remaining 9 aircraft, amid the dense rain of bullets from the soldiers, only one aircraft managed to escape the firepower range of the soldiers and got into the clouds. The formation of 12 aircraft was just a few seconds away from the enemy.

Within ten minutes of the attack, all were lost. Seeing that their captain and comrades were shot down one by one by intensive anti-aircraft firepower on the ground, and in the end no bones were left. The remaining two pilots no longer had the courage to rush into the clouds and continue

Fighting. Finally, outside the city, they hurriedly dropped the bombs in the belly of the plane and fled back to Shijiazhuang Airport in a hurry.

Less than half an hour after the two planes escaped, Shijiazhuang's second batch of planes, totaling two squadrons and 24 planes, under the personal leadership of the captain of the Shijiazhuang Flying Brigade, once again visited the place that had just experienced the war.

Taiyuan.

Since there were only two planes left in the enemy's first wave of aircraft, all officers were killed. Plus the two pilots, at this time, they only remembered to escape, so during the escape process, they did not report to their superiors.

The situation in Taiyuan. Therefore, the 24 aircraft of the two squadrons showed almost no vigilance. They again underestimated the enemy and got into the thick smoke and entered the range of the soldiers' various machine guns.

There is no doubt that a fierce air battle started again. However, this time because there were two squadrons of escort fighters, the pressure on the soldiers was significantly increased. Six Japanese fighter jets strafed back and forth above the heads of the soldiers, although

It may prevent soldiers from strafing the air and provide bombers with an opportunity to drop bombs.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the prevention and control company must have gone through several real prevention and control battles. They did not have any fear when facing the bullets fired by Japanese aircraft. Instead, they used their anti-aircraft machine guns to fight back ferociously. However,

Infantrymen who have not experienced any air combat do not have such good psychological quality when faced with powerful aviation bullets.

Although the infantry soldiers are not afraid of death, when faced with the fact that as long as they are hit by bullets fired from Japanese aircraft, blood holes as big as the mouth of a bowl will appear on their bodies. Many soldiers began to panic, and then the Japanese manipulated

The hands holding the machine gun also began to tremble. Over time, the accuracy of the machine gun was also greatly affected.

Nearly a hundred light and heavy machine guns not only did not play any role in killing the enemy, but instead became the target of Japanese aircraft. However, their presence relieved a huge burden on the soldiers on the six anti-aircraft machine gun positions. Let

The 36 anti-aircraft machine guns had more time and energy to eliminate the densely packed Japanese aircraft in the sky one by one.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Amidst the bursts of explosions, planes emitted thick smoke, fell to the ground, and exploded. The planes were hit by flying bullets and exploded in the air. However,

The soldiers also paid a high price. Many positions were either strafed by Japanese fighter jets or bombed by the Japanese army.

Facing every Japanese aerial bomb weighing hundreds of kilograms, the soldiers had no chance to escape. Almost as long as the position was attacked by an aerial bomb, there was only one final result, and that was all the soldiers on the position.

At the moment of the explosion, the entire army was destroyed.

Finally, the fierce air battle slowly came to an end after about ten minutes. Of the 24 Japanese aircraft, 14 were shot down and 2 were damaged by the soldiers. The remaining 8 aircraft had to fear

They got into the clouds and discussed countermeasures. Similarly, the soldiers responsible for prevention and control also took advantage of this time to treat the wounded and move the prevention and control positions...

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is a telegram from the Second Flying Squadron..." Just as the supreme commander of Shijiazhuang was sitting in the office of the airport headquarters, anxiously waiting for the success report of the flying group. A staff captain, holding a

After receiving a telegram, he even forgot to knock on the door and hurriedly ran in and said.

"Nani Baga, look at what kind of lie you are telling, do you still look like an imperialist?" Seeing the captain's staff hurriedly rushed into his room, the commander cursed loudly.

"Hi, your commander's criticism is very correct. I will correct it next time. Report to your commander, the emergency telegram from the Second Flying Squadron, please make your decision." Seeing the angry commander, the captain's staff officer

He couldn't help but feel scared about what he had just done. However, as a soldier, he quickly reacted to the shock and loudly reported to the commander.

"Yo Xi, do you have any urgent telegrams from the Second Flying Squadron? Has the Eighth Route Army that besieged Taiyuan been repelled by our air force under the attack of our air force?" After hearing the words of the captain's staff, the commander nodded with a smile on his face.

asked confidently.

"Your Excellency, Commander, no. The Second Flying Squadron reported that the entire Taiyuan has been completely occupied by the Eighth Route Army at this time, and the General is missing... In addition, when the entire flying squadron was performing a bombing mission, it was attacked by the Eighth Route Army over Taiyuan.

The fierce attack by anti-aircraft fire caused heavy losses to the entire flying group." Seeing the commander's confident smile, the captain's staff still told the shocking news.

"Nani? Bagya Road, impossible, absolutely impossible. How could the Eighth Route Army capture Taiyuan in one night? It is absolutely impossible to know that there is a regiment of imperial soldiers in Taiyuan City." Originally, it was still impossible.

The extremely confident commander, after hearing the words of the captain's staff, his whole face seemed to turn black instantly. He asked in disbelief.

"Hi, Commander, I have sent a telegram to confirm that Taiyuan is really occupied by the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, our flying group was hit by the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft firepower and suffered heavy losses. The captain of the Second Flying Squadron requested that the entire flying group retreat immediately."

The staff captain continued affirmatively.

"Baga... where is their captain? Why didn't the captain send back the telegram..." the commander asked with a frown.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the captain of the flying group was hit by the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft fire in the sky over Taiyuan a few minutes ago and sacrificed his life for His Majesty the Emperor. Now there are only ten aircraft left in the entire flying group that can continue to fight, and there are still two aircraft

He was hit by the enemy's anti-aircraft fire and suffered heavy damage, and is in danger of falling at any time."

"Bang... Baga, there are only 10 aircraft left. How is it possible? When did the Eighth Route Army have such powerful prevention and control firepower? Impossible, the captain of the second squadron must be lying about the military situation." The commander heard.

After this shocking news, he slammed the table in front of him and said in disbelief.

"Hi, Commander, these are the battle losses reported personally by the captain of the 2nd Squadron. Please take a look at them..."

"Commander, please calm down. Now that Taiyuan has been lost, our air reinforcements have lost any effect. I suggest that the remaining ten aircraft be withdrawn immediately to avoid unnecessary losses. Otherwise, our air force in Shijiazhuang will really

We are going to lose everything..." Seeing the commander who was about to get angry, the chief of staff quickly reminded him.

"Bang... Baga... *** Division, give me back my plane..." The commander clenched his fist, smashed a cup in front of him, and cursed loudly.

road......

"Chief of Staff, immediately order the remaining ten planes to withdraw, and do it quickly. We must keep the remaining planes, and send the report quickly..." A few minutes later, the commander's mood slowly calmed down.

When he came down, he suddenly saw the anxious look of the chief of staff next to him. The Japanese commander finally reacted from the shock and gave a loud order to the chief of staff next to him.

"Hi, Commander. I'll send the report right away..."

With the telegram from the Shijiazhuang headquarters, all the pilots of the Japanese aircraft hovering over Taiyuan breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time. The ten aircraft, under the leadership of the captain of the second squadron, protected two aircraft that might fall at any time.

The plane flew out of the sky over Taiyuan in a hurry.

"Long live...Long live..." As the roar of the plane overhead became weaker and weaker. In Taiyuan City, both ordinary people and soldiers poured into the streets almost at the same time and began to vent their excitement. At the same time,

Doctors from various hospitals in the city also rushed to the streets at the same time and began to actively treat the injured soldiers and ordinary people.

"Report to the division commander, the Japs' plane has flown away..." Soon, Wang Kai, commander of the air defense company, ran to Liu Hua, who was still standing at the top of the city, observing every move of the entire air battle.

"Well, I saw it. How about it? Have the results been calculated..." Listening to the cheers of the people in the city, Liu Hua was also extremely excited and eager to know the results of his air defense company.

"Division Commander, we have made statistics. We shot down 10 of the first batch of 12 aircraft of the Little Japs. In the second batch of 24 aircraft, we shot down 14 and damaged two. We shot down 24 enemy aircraft in total.

A victory for damaging two enemy planes." When Wang Kai mentioned the results of his air defense company, his face was full of excitement.

"Haha, yes, the soldiers are all good. This time your air defense company has made a great contribution. When the time comes, I will personally ask you for credit from the headquarters and Yan'an, and mark your air defense company as a collective special merit." Listen.

Liu Hua said with excitement when he saw that two squadrons of Jaap aircraft were left behind in Taiyuan by his own air defense company.

"Commander, this is all because of your brilliant plan. You even thought of using thick smoke to make the Little Japanese plane fly low. Without the thick smoke, we would not have achieved such great results. If you want to record the merits, you have to

Remember the greatest contribution." Wang Kai replied loudly, and explained the key to why he was able to achieve such a great victory in this air battle.

"Well, I'm not arrogant. That's good. A good commander must remember that no matter how big the opportunity is, he can't be arrogant or underestimate the enemy. But you are wrong. The reason why you can achieve such great results is because

On the one hand, it is because of the thick smoke. On the other hand, the soldiers, facing the bombing and strafing by enemy planes, are not afraid of sacrifice and bravely fight against the enemy planes. How about the casualties of the soldiers...

"Hearing Wang Kai's answer, Liu Hua nodded and then asked.

"Division Commander, this air defense company has basically lost half of its force. Especially the two air defense positions in the east direction of the city were attacked by Japanese aerial bombs, and almost the entire army was destroyed." Speaking of the casualties of the troops, Wang Kai could no longer see the look on his face.

Instead of looking excited just now, he replied with a sad face.

"Well, tell me the specific data..." At this time, Liu Hua also felt sad. Because he had seen everything about the air battle just now. The air defense company suffered heavy casualties, and he also

Be mentally prepared.

"Yes, division commander. According to statistics, a total of 126 soldiers of the entire air defense company died, and 24 soldiers were seriously injured. Of the more than 150 soldiers left, basically everyone was injured. In addition, 8 of the 36 anti-aircraft machine guns

The machine gun was completely damaged and cannot be used anymore. The four machine guns have varying degrees of damage, but they can be repaired by the arsenal and continue to be used." Wang Kai immediately told the casualty data in his hand.

"Well, where are the casualties of other troops?" Liu Hua nodded and continued to ask.

"More than 360 machine gunners, 110 died and 49 were seriously injured. In addition, due to the bombing of the Little Japanese planes, 210 civilians and 38 soldiers died in the city under the enemy's bombing. However, all the wounded have now been

All arrangements have been made to various hospitals in the city, and rescue operations are underway. The injured should basically be able to be rescued..."

"Okay, the soldiers are all good, and the people of Taiyuan are also good. Company Commander Wang, now I officially tell you that due to the excellent performance and fruitful results of your air defense company, starting today, the air defense company will be officially expanded.

It is an air defense battalion with two anti-aircraft machine gun companies and one anti-aircraft artillery company. You will immediately take the remaining troops and withdraw for rest and reorganization. The specific reorganization matters will be unified by the staff after returning to the base area." Liu Hua said loudly.

commanded.

"Ah...air defense battalion...thank you, division commander, for trusting us. I will definitely lead the air defense battalion and let the little devils know how powerful our *** division's air defense battalion is..." I heard that in an instant, I changed from the company commander to

He became the battalion commander. Wang Kai, who was still full of sadness, answered excitedly like a pie falling from the sky.

"Well, I believe in your ability. From now on, the task of prevention and control of our military division will be handed over to you. I hope you will not disappoint all of us' expectations of you." Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, Commander, Wang Kai promises to complete the mission..."
