Chapter 157 The Japs must be made to pay with blood!
Regiment Headquarters.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were a little worried.
In order to avoid the Japanese's occasional air raids, the independent regiment has moved its headquarters into the mountains and forests. With the help of tall trees, it is not easy for the Japanese to find the traces of the independent regiment soldiers and civilians.
"Lao Zhao, it's not a good idea for us to stay here all day. Look at these damned Japanese soldiers. They don't dare to fight us on the ground anymore. They fly these damn planes over our heads every day.
We can’t even hit him, it’s so frustrating.”
Li Yunlong looked at the plane circling in the distance with a worried look on his face.
"Yes, these little devils are really inhumane. Not only did they target our troops, but they also shot and killed ordinary people.
Now it is autumn harvest time again, and the villagers have to find a way to harvest the crops.
If it rots in the fields, everyone will starve.”
Zhao Gang felt worried when he saw the crops in the fields in the distance that no one was harvesting.
"Ugh!"
Li Yunlong sighed and was about to smoke a cigarette, but when he heard the sound of Japanese planes in the sky, he felt upset and put the cigarette back.
"Old Zhao, do you think it's possible that we can bomb the Japanese Yangming Airport again this time, just like we did last time?"
Li Yunlong said with a frown.
"Haven't we thought of a solution for this? The Japanese have learned their lesson this time. All of their planes flew in from Taiyuan and didn't stop at the frontline at all.
Where are we going to bomb their airport?
Lao Li, we can't just go and attack Taiyuan, right?"
Zhao Gang put his hand on his forehead and said as he looked at the Japanese bomber in the distant sky.
Li Yunlong was choked. Although he often talked about attacking Taiyuan, he also knew that at least at this stage, attacking Taiyuan was just a dream for him.
"According to what you said, Lao Zhao, we can only passively take the beating? We have to use our heads to block the enemy's aerial bombs?"
Li Yunlong said angrily, and was almost about to curse Zhao Gang. After enduring for a long time, he could only squat there and sulk.
"I say, Lao Li, are you born in the Year of the Dog? It was the Japanese who irritated you, why are you angry with me? I was spoiled by you."
Zhao Gang couldn't stand Li Yunlong's temper anymore and started to fight back.
Li Yunlong was disappointed and didn't dare to mess around anymore.
"Who says we can only passively take the beating? Who says we can only use our heads to receive the enemy's aerial bombs?"
A voice was heard from not far away. Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong turned their heads to look, and their faces were immediately filled with joy.
"Old Yu, you finally came out of your hole."
When Li Yunlong saw Yu Ye coming, the gloom on his face immediately disappeared.
"Yes, Lao Yu, you have been in the Liaoyuan Arsenal for more than half a month. Lao Li and I went there several times but never saw you. Everyone said that you were busy in the workshop.
We didn't dare disturb you.
Are you done now?"
"Of course, otherwise how dare I come out to see you?"
Yu Ye's face was almost filled with fatigue, but in this fatigue, he was actually quite energetic.
This is not surprising. Anyone who works day and night for more than half a month will become like this.
"Hahaha, Lao Yu, come and show us what good stuff you have prepared for us this time? These little devils are hovering over our heads every day, and we really can't stand it anymore."
"I have brought it to you."
Yu Ye pointed at the various parts that several comrades behind him were working hard to move. Since there were no good tractors and wheels of suitable sizes, the anti-aircraft guns that had just been developed were very troublesome to move.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked eager, and Old Li was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands, looking forward to this weapon.
Led by Yu Ye, the group found a location with a wide firing range, which happened to be the route that the Japanese planes had to take to enter the village or the independent regiment's base.
With the witness of everyone, Yu Ye quickly completed the assembly of the anti-aircraft gun.
The movements are extremely smooth, like flowing water.
Half an hour later, a twin anti-aircraft gun appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow! Lao Yu, your cannon is really impressive. With such a long barrel, it can only be described in two words: beautiful!"
Yu Ye sat on the gun mount, controlling the cannon in his hands. Under the gaze of everyone, the cannon quickly turned in various positions, and one circle took less than a second.
Exceptionally silky.
Before Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang could utter words of admiration, under Yu Ye's control, the two gun barrels quickly turned their angles from horizontal to vertical in an instant, and there was no delay in the angle change.
"Old Yu, your cannon is pretty good!"
Li Yunlong couldn't find any words to describe this weapon, so he could only use these words to express his inner amazement.
Li Yunlong touched and looked around, and even asked Yu Ye to roll down the gun barrel so that he could see the rifling of the barrel.
Every time he looked at the rifling of these cannons, Li Yunlong felt a special sense of beauty.
It seems like what Lao Yu always said, the more beautiful the weapon, the more powerful it is.
"Old Yu, would you like to introduce this cannon to us?"
Zhao Gang was able to remain calm when facing the cannon. At least he did not pounce on it like Li Yunlong did. However, Zhao Gang's trembling hands exposed him.
"it is good!"
于业坐在炮座上拍了拍炮管说道:“25mm双联高射炮,有效射程为4000-6000米,有效射高为1000-3000米。
The rate of fire is 360 rounds per minute."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were stunned. With their battlefield experience, they could naturally see that this cannon was a powerful anti-aircraft weapon.
Yu Ye originally planned to manufacture the Type 65 37mm anti-aircraft gun, but due to the limitations of the casting process, Yu Ye did not dare to make the gun barrel too thin.
After all, there was no flaw detection equipment at that time, so he could only change the caliber to 25mm as a second choice. However, this also saved a lot of copper and allowed more shells to be made.
At the same time, Yu Ye also made modifications to the gun's ammunition supply system, changing the original magazine design to ensure that the firepower could last long enough.
"Old Yu, why don't you try firing two shots at them first? The Japanese are so rampant, we must teach them a lesson."
Li Yunlong's heart was pounding with excitement, and he wanted to pull Yu Ye down, sit on it himself and fire a few shots to try.
"There's no time to rush, Lao Li. To effectively defend against the enemy's aircraft, we need to form a dense firepower network. Now, one anti-aircraft gun is not enough. At least two guns are needed to form crossfire.
If we act now and alert the devils, it will not be worth the loss."
Yu Ye advised.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." There was some disappointment on Li Yunlong's face.
"By the way, Lao Zhao, how many casualties have we suffered in our base due to the Japanese bombing during this period?" Yu Ye asked.
"Three soldiers died, 3 soldiers were injured, more than 16 civilians died, and hundreds of people were injured," said Zhao Gang with a sad face.
Yu Ye's eyes fixed, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "The debt owed by the little devils must be paid with blood!"
Everyone present looked at the anti-aircraft gun and nodded heavily.
"But, Lao Li, before we shoot down the enemy's planes, there is one thing you need to do."
"What?"
"Ask the brigade commander to borrow his battery."
