Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 600 Let’s Create a Peaceful County That Never Sleeps (1)

More than 150 Japanese planes roared past in the sky. Not only had the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi never seen such a dense and exaggerated formation, even the Japanese themselves had never seen such a dense formation.

In the previous operations of the Japanese, even in the large-scale bombing of Chongqing in the southwest, they did not use so many bombers.

This was a record-breaking achievement both for the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and for the Japanese Army Air Force.

The enemy used the reconnaissance plane's onboard machine gun to suppress the enemy, but the Japanese onboard machine gun was only 7.7mm caliber and posed no threat to the air defense tower itself. It only left a few shallow white marks on the tower.

The damage caused by the Japanese aircraft-mounted machine guns to the anti-aircraft tower shelter itself was as ridiculous as an ant trying to shake a tree.

However, although the damage to the bunker was not very obvious, the suppressive effect on our artillery was very obvious. It was obvious that the firing rate of some of the twin anti-aircraft guns operated by humans had slowed down significantly.

Many of our soldiers were so eager to attack that they ignored the Japanese reconnaissance planes approaching, and many of them were slightly injured. Fortunately, there were no casualties for the time being.

The firepower density of the twin artillery operated by the fire control radar has not stopped, and the firepower is still violent.

25mm caliber shells, tracer armor-piercing shells, and VT proximity fuze shells were fired over the sky of Ping'an County one after another. The whistling sound produced by the violent friction between these anti-aircraft shells and the air never stopped, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers behind the bunker on the top of the air defense tower were somewhat intoxicated by the sound.

When has our Eighth Route Army ever fought such a prosperous war? According to the firing rate of the twin anti-aircraft guns, 500-1000 rounds per minute, how many shells were fired in just half an hour?

Even if so many shells were piled up, they would be enough to kill the Japanese, right?

I have never fought such a heroic battle in my three lifetimes.

At the beginning, the soldiers were a little restrained and felt sorry for the use of these artillery shells, but later they found that no matter how they fought, there were a steady supply of artillery shells delivered to them from under the anti-aircraft tower, so they completely let go and decided to use this massive amount of artillery shells to deal with these little Japanese devils.

During the more than half an hour that had just occurred, due to the lesson of Yoshida Kihachiro, the Japanese who joined later were very cautious and often used kite-flying tactics. In addition, with the suppression of the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft, the two sides actually reached a delicate balance and the rate of Japanese aircraft damage was reduced.

In the first two rounds of the charge, Kihachiro Yoshida lost nearly 40 aircraft, but now with the addition and suppression of subsequent fighters, only 6 aircraft were lost in more than half an hour, and another 11 aircraft withdrew from the combat airspace because they were damaged.

When the enemy and our side were in a balance of power, the brigade commander became a little anxious. After all, a huge amount of artillery shells were consumed every minute of fighting. Even if there were some artillery shells in stock, they could not withstand such consumption.

The brigade commander had always known that wars were fought with industrial levels and production capacity. This time he saw with great clarity that our side and the Japanese were competing in industrial consumption capacity. Once anyone could not withstand the consumption, they would be pounced on and torn into pieces by the other side.

The brigade commander trotted out of the underground passage and found Yu Ye: "Old Yu, you designed this anti-aircraft tower, and this twin anti-aircraft gun is also your masterpiece.

We have achieved some results, but we are still not optimistic.

If we can’t cripple the Japanese flying formation this time and injure them, I’m afraid we will be harassed by them constantly in the future.”

Yu Ye nodded. He knew that what the brigade commander said was right. If they wanted to strike the right blow with one punch to avoid a hundred blows, they had to injure the Japanese and make them feel pain.

During the fierce battle just now, Yu Ye was also observing the changes in the entire battle situation. It must be said that the Japanese were really cunning and tenacious enough.

In a very short period of time, the Japanese had mastered the strategy to deal with the air defense tower, which was the kite-flying tactic, which was to launch a sudden sneak attack from a long distance. During the sneak attack, other wingmen would cooperate to suppress the firepower of the air defense tower.

With such tactics, the Japanese really succeeded several times. They dropped several heavy bombs on many factory bases in the county, and a corner of the air defense tower in the northwest corner was also blown down. If the tug of war continued for a long time, it would definitely not be very advantageous to our side.

The Japanese were able to quickly adjust their tactics during this bombing and still used guerrilla tactics, but this time we were the ones being attacked.

"In fact, this time our shells..."

Yu Ye wanted to say, don't worry, there are enough shells, but he took back his words halfway through. He did prepare nearly 10 shells this time, but if he continued to fight in this way, he was afraid that after this battle, the entire Jin area's Eighth Route Army's air defense ammunition reserves would be completely emptied. Given the current tight production capacity, it would be impossible to recover without half a year to a year.

What's more, there are 3000 VT proximity fuze shells among them, which are real money. If they are sold outside, they will cost a lot of money each. The cost of making them by ourselves is not low either.

Even if you want to be a spendthrift, this is not the way to do it.

Yu Ye looked at his watch and said, "It's a little after five now. It will be dark in an hour or so. The Japs don't have radar, so their sight line is definitely not enough. In order to achieve the best bombing effect, they will definitely shorten the bombing distance again. By that time, our hit rate will definitely increase a lot.

Then we will end it all in one fell swoop and completely defeat these bastards."

After hearing this, the brigade commander understood Yu Ye's plan. This was the same principle as letting the Japanese get closer before attacking them in the previous ambush.

The brigade commander frowned and said, "Old Yu, you have to think carefully. If we let the Japanese get closer before we attack them, the probability of us being bombed will be greatly increased, and your danger will increase a lot.

We can’t play with the lives of these top scientists.”

"No, don't worry. This three-meter-thick reinforced concrete structure is not so easy to blow through. I am confident that our artillery can destroy all the Japanese before they blow through the anti-aircraft tower.

However, the danger to our artillery soldiers will increase significantly..."

"Don't worry. Our soldiers have a will of steel. I will go up to join them in a moment. As long as we are there, the tower will be there!" This time, the brigade commander was also very ruthless. He was determined to bury the more than one hundred Japanese planes here completely.

"Since this has been decided, then convey my order. Instruct Shu Dalin to suspend the fire control system and let the Japanese in.

All artillery soldiers in the army maintained half-speed firing to pin down the enemy and prevent them from escaping!

When it gets dark, we will create a peaceful county town that never sleeps."

Yu Ye looked solemn and gave the order decisively.
