Chapter 153 The defeat of the Japanese fighter planes!
"Wei Min, do you still have this German 88mm anti-aircraft gun?"
"And this German 88mm anti-aircraft gun and those cars, are you selling them?"
Sun Chu looked at the anti-aircraft gun that was firing continuously and liked it very much, so he turned to Zhou Weimin beside him and asked.
As for why Sun Chu wanted to buy a car.
That’s because the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun is huge in size and heavy in weight.
The German 88mm anti-aircraft gun weighs about 11 tons, which means that people and livestock cannot move the anti-aircraft gun.
Anti-aircraft guns can only be towed by heavy trucks.
Therefore, if Sun Chu wanted the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun, he had to buy the heavy truck in Zhou Weimin's hands.
"Uncle Sun, I don't have many of these German 88mm anti-aircraft guns. I spent a lot of money to buy these dozen or so."
"It's not easy to get these dozen anti-aircraft guns to Jindi."
"These dozen or so German 88mm anti-aircraft guns are the secret weapons of our Tiger Guard Division."
"So I have no intention of selling these German 88mm anti-aircraft guns."
"But we still have some of those heavy trucks in the Tiger Guard Division. If Uncle Sun wants them, I can sell some, but not much."
After hearing what Sun Chu said, Zhou Weimin thought for a while, and then said to Sun Chu.
In fact, Zhou Weimin lied.
Although the Tiger Guards Division did not have many German 88mm anti-aircraft guns, it still had dozens of them.
But Zhou Weimin did not want to sell it to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Because the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's attitude towards resisting Japan was too bad, they did not dare to confront the devils head-on.
Zhou Weimin believed that as long as he sold the German 88mm anti-aircraft guns to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Maybe those Commanders Yan will turn around and sell them to the Central Army or other troops.
Of course, it is also possible to sell one or two to the Japanese.
"That's fine, but if you have any extra in the future, you can keep them for me."
"As for those heavy trucks, they're useless without the German 88mm anti-aircraft guns."
After hearing what Zhou Weimin said, Sun Chu smiled bitterly and said.
In fact, Sun Chu was just asking and didn't hold much hope.
After all, the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun is a good thing, and Sun Chu doesn't quite believe that Zhou Weimin can get so many.
And just when Sun Chu and Zhou Weimin were talking about anti-aircraft guns.
The fighting on the battlefield also reached its peak.
The Japanese escort planes were seen circling the anti-aircraft artillery positions, and the guard battalion's heavy machine gun positions were constantly diving and firing.
The anti-aircraft artillery positions and the heavy machine gun positions of the guard battalion also fired crazily.
The air was filled with the thick smell of gunpowder.
Then Zhou Weimin, Sun Chu and others who were farther away from the battlefield also surrounded them.
"Adjust the angle...fire!"
Jiang Lin, the commander of the third company of the guard battalion, personally operated the heavy machine gun and fired at the sky.
The guard battalion has the best and most weapons.
So this heavy machine gun position has dozens of heavy machine guns.
Dozens of heavy machine guns firing into the air at the same time will create dozens of tongues of fire, which can form a fire net.
Every time the Japanese escort aircraft made a low-altitude dive and strafing attack, they would face a fire network attack.
And basically one plane is lost every time.
After several low-altitude dives and strafing attacks, only four Japanese escort planes were left, one of which was still smoking.
But this plane can still fly.
Of course, the Japanese escort aircraft suffered heavy losses, and the heavy machine gun positions of the guard battalion suffered even more heavy losses.
The casualties have exceeded more than half, even Jiang Lin has died.
All three of Jiang Lin's heavy machine gun crew members were killed, and their bodies were not intact.
The Japanese escort aircraft looked at the few remaining heavy machine guns of the guard battalion and launched another low-altitude dive and strafing attack.
"Beat him! Beat him hard and avenge the company commander."
"Da da da da da..."
"Da da da da da..."
After this incident, there were only two Japanese escort planes left.
There were only about twenty living soldiers and seven heavy machine guns in the guard battalion's heavy machine gun position.
More than one hundred soldiers have been killed in the heavy machine gun position, and there are basically no intact bodies of the soldiers.
At this moment, the Japanese escort pilots and the soldiers in the heavy machine gun positions had no intention of living.
But just when the Japanese had only two escort planes left and were preparing to dive and strafe at low altitude again.
Ichiro Nakajima ordered the Japanese escort planes to return to high altitude.
Because at this moment Ichiro Nakajima had calmed down and saw that only two of the twelve escort planes were left.
Ichiro Nakajima was anxious, angry, and heartbroken.
Ichiro Nakajima never imagined that the soldiers of the Tiger Guards Division were so difficult to deal with, nor did he expect that the Tiger Guards Division had so many weapons.
Ichiro Nakajima had never seen this kind of firepower output in China.
The losses suffered by the Air Aviation Brigade this time were greater than those in the previous years combined.
At this moment, Ichiro Nakajima was already thinking of retreating.
But Ichiro Nakajima was somewhat unwilling to retreat like this. After all, the losses were too great and the mission had not been completed.
Ichiro Nakajima was also afraid that after retreating, Yoshio Shinozuka would blame him.
"Boom boom boom..."
And just when Ichiro Nakajima was hesitating.
Two more Type 88 bombers were hit by German mm anti-aircraft guns.
However, only the wing was hit and the plane did not completely crash. The pilot's skills were also good and he could barely control the plane.
There were sixteen Type 97 bombers, but now there are only seven, and two of them may crash at any time.
Seeing this, Ichiro Nakajima knew that the mission could not be completed.
Moreover, if his own air aviation brigade did not return, it might be completely destroyed.
So Ichiro Nakajima gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
"Everyone, please drop the bombs and return immediately..."
As Ichiro Nakajima's voice sounded in the headsets of each pilot, the Japanese pilots had different expressions.
Some secretly breathed a sigh of relief, some were filled with resentment, and some were afraid...
"Boom boom boom..."
The Japanese bombers did not have a clear target, so some of the bombs they dropped hit the target and some did not.
In this battle, the Japanese air force lost nine Type 97 bombers and ten Nakajima Type 1 fighters.
Only seven Type 97 bombers and two Nakajima Type 1 fighters returned.
Two of the Type 97 bombers were hit on the wings. One returned and the other crashed midway.
Of course, the Japanese air force brigade also gained something. These Japanese caused the air defense company to lose six 88mm anti-aircraft guns.
And dozens of heavy machine guns in the guard battalion.
Hundreds of soldiers from the air defense company were killed or wounded, and more than 200 soldiers from the guard battalion were killed or wounded.
The logistics troops also suffered hundreds of casualties.
In total, Zhou Weimin lost more than 500 men, and the casualties were huge.
But in Sun Chu's view, this was a huge victory.
In fact, not only Sun Chu, but also the soldiers under Zhou Weimin felt that this was a huge victory.
Only Zhou Weimin felt that he had suffered heavy losses.
