There is no term for anti-aircraft guns yet. How to use machine guns for air defense? The Japanese came up with the idea of ​​placing the machine gun on an iron tripod and using bearings to assist it. The machine gun can shoot in the air and change the angle at will. It is a bit troublesome to turn.

The iron tripod needs to be moved. The heavy machine guns equipped by the Japanese army were learned from the French Haruka Kai

The Sm1897 uses 6.5x50mm Arisaka bullets, which is more convenient for logistics, but the threat of small-caliber bullets to the air is also much reduced. The bullets fired do not go very far before they start to float, with obvious arc trajectories. It’s a shame.

I have an anti-aircraft machine gun, and I have no experience in shooting airplanes, so the effect is terrible.

The key deployments of anti-aircraft machine guns were at the heavy artillery positions and near the headquarters. When the locust-like fleet of aircraft flew over the sky, the Japanese machine guns fired wildly. Whether it worked or not was another matter.

It was a mess, and the momentum fired by dozens of machine guns was also quite astonishing. The aviation team discovered this situation and did not dare to lower the altitude easily. The brave ones lowered it to 500 meters, and then they dropped bombs in a hurry and then raised it. The brave ones didn't dare to lower the altitude easily.

Just drop bombs at about 800 meters. Even though I had practiced a lot in advance, the results of such bombing were not particularly ideal. However, since the birth of the aviation team, the luck has been very good, and it is easy to survive.

Several bombs flew away from the Japanese heavy artillery position and headed for a forest. Unexpectedly, this was a Japanese ammunition storage point. One bomb hit a pile of 280 howitzer ammunition. After a bang, continuous explosions followed.

At this point, the ground was shaken violently. The American pilot Ram, who had such bad luck, dropped the bomb at about a thousand meters. This bastard planned to just throw it away, but he never expected to be so lucky.

But this boy's good luck came to an end. He saw the ammunition pile being detonated. The explosion was so powerful that a small mushroom cloud was formed. The plane was carried by the shock wave at an altitude of one thousand meters like a small boat in the stormy sea. It seemed that it was about to explode at any time.

It was falling apart. Ram tried his best to control it. The bombing companion was also an American cowboy named Jack. He held the cross in both hands and prayed desperately, saying that he would fly lower and drop the bomb next time and never cut corners again.

After finally escaping the shock wave, the plane's engine stopped running, so Ram had to make an emergency landing in a wilderness. This kid was lucky. This wilderness was within the control of the National Defense Forces.

Looking at the loud noise from the Japanese artillery positions after the plane bombing, and the mushroom cloud that followed. The morale of the National Defense Forces was greatly boosted, and the divisional artillery regiment was even more enthusiastic. The shirtless soldiers did not consider the possibility of being burned at all.

, launch as quickly as possible, reload, and launch again.

The tenacious Japanese army refused to retreat in the face of an opponent with high morale. Until the order to retreat came from the rear, the Japanese army was slowly retreating while fighting. Fang Zhenwu, who was unreasonable and unforgiving, ordered the artillery battalion to pursue the enemy.

The .120 mortar has a range of eight thousand meters, chasing the Japanese army

They were beaten hard. Compared with the attack, the retreating Japanese troops suffered a lot of casualties. After escaping from the range of the machine guns, the Japanese troops ran faster, shelling and chasing them, and 75 mountain artillery chased them. The bombing continued, and the Japanese troops

It is rare for a heavy artillery position to be peaceful. Naturally, there is no mention of suppressive fire.

Fortunately, when dusk came, China and Japan, who had been fighting fiercely all afternoon, had no intention of continuing the fight. So they retreated their troops, and the Japanese army sent people with white flags to collect the corpses. Shen Tongwu said it was okay.

After holding on for an afternoon, Shen Tongwu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Japanese army was far more ferocious than the civil war. When the fierce fighting reached its most critical moment, Shen Tongwu threw all his reserves into the battle. The troops suffered heavy casualties. , even though he was mentally prepared in advance, when the statistics came out, Shen Tongwu still felt terribly distressed.

The number of casualties in each unit was nearly 2,000, including more than 600 killed in action, which means that the strength of a battalion was lost.

Of course, the Japanese army didn't ask for any favors. Three to four hundred corpses could be seen, not to mention the wounded. It was estimated that the casualties of the Japanese army were more than 1,000. Shen Tongwu was preparing for a meeting to study how to fight tomorrow. , Weifang's general headquarters called and asked all the defenders of Ye County to withdraw westward overnight and get out of the way of the highway.

This telegram came a bit suddenly, and Shen Tongwu was somewhat surprised. The original plan was to persist for forty-eight hours, but it has only been half a day. Why did the former enemy headquarters make this decision? If there is an order, then execute it, Marshal Fang But those who were stationed in front of Weifang would definitely die ugly if they disobeyed orders. Although I was still very unconvinced, I felt that I could still fight the Japanese army.

The reason for this sudden order was that the battle situation had changed. The Japanese 23rd Mixed Brigade and the 29th Brigade arrived in front of the Willow Tree Formation and conducted a tentative attack.

After learning the information, Fang Jianxiong and Cai E discussed it and believed that it would be too dangerous to attack in Ye County. Ye County is still too close to the coastline. Once the Japanese army finds something wrong, it is likely to withdraw. Cai E advocated that the two divisions in Ye County should move towards each other. On the surface, they retreated westward, but the actual purpose was to detour behind the enemy's rear. Pingdu's Li Qianyu then blocked the attack, and then withdrew while fighting, heading towards Jimo, and reached the east bank of the Dagu River before holding on. In this way, the Japanese troops on the left were deep enough. Moreover, it is between two rivers and cannot advance or retreat freely, which makes it easier for our army to encircle. Willow Tree Terrace on the right has become a core turning point in this battle. Once lost, the Japanese army will turn back and forth, and it will be too difficult to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army. .So Liushu Terrace must be defended, and the courage on Xu Chongzhi’s shoulders is even heavier.

While the two were planning and discussing, Qi Erzhu at the door reported: "He Haiming, the commander of the 43rd Division of the National Defense Force, has been ordered to arrive."

He Haiming was stationed in Bengbu, so it was normal and timely for him to arrive first. Fang Jianxiong and Cai E looked at each other and smiled and said: "Reinforcements are here." Fang Jianxiong asked Qi Erzhu to bring He Haiming in, and He Haiming came in to report after a while. Looking at his appearance, He Haiming does not look like a soldier, but more like a scholar. As one of the famous masters of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School in history, he has no energy to create in this time and space. After the defeat of Xuzhou, He Haiming went to Wuhu and studied in the advanced class of Mainland University. After half a year of training, the National Defense Forces were reorganized and expanded, and He Haiming got a position in the B Division.

He Haiming's division is stationed in Bengbu. Its members mainly come from the original Northern Expeditionary Army of the Sichuan Army. The division has 12,000 people. Its configuration is basically the same as that of the New Army in Beiyang. However, there is only one company of cavalry, and the extra personnel are technical and Firepower. He Haiming is very satisfied to be called the commander of a B division. The Sichuan army is hard-working and obedient. No matter how hard the training is, there are no complaints. The equipment of the troops can also keep up, although it is not the 7mm rifle of the A division. , but Japanese weapons, but it has added a lot of light machine guns, mortars, infantry guns, and the artillery also has a Japanese 75 mountain artillery regiment. Compared with the A division, the B division does not lack too many things, submachine guns and 120 , the 81mm mortar is just not in the field. It’s not that Marshal Fang is stingy, it’s just that the production is not enough. If it weren’t for the Germans, the B Division would never have been so fully equipped.

"Brother Yiyan came just in time!" After Fang Jianxiong returned the greeting, he did not put on any airs of majesty as a commander. There is a sense of differential treatment. For all senior officers who came from the original teaching team, Fang Jianxiong was always very serious in front of them. On the contrary

, not an officer of this system, Fang Jianxiong is always very easy-going.

In the second revolution in history, He Haiming was the only bright spot in Nanjing. The Hunan Army he led fought hard and was glorious in defeat. In another time and space, He Haiming was finally suspected of being a traitor. In this time and space, there is no such chance.

.(Whether He Haiming is a traitor is still controversial. Historically, he did not hold any actual position in the puppet Nanjing government, so it can only be said that it is unclear.)

He Haiming is ambitious and wants to show it off. Moreover, the equipment and personnel of his current B division are much better than those in the Kuomintang before. The troops are stationed in Bengbu, so He Haiming feels that he still has a chance to advance.

It was a struggle. Sure enough, after the Qingdao incident, He Haiming was guarding Jinpu Road and watching the trains whining and coming all day long. He Haiming felt like a cat scratching his head. His subordinates were doing all the hard work all day long, and he was looking forward to the superiors to take care of him.

Once Qingdao needs to increase its troops, he will be the most convenient force to guard the key points of the Jinpu Line.

"Brother Yiyan, how is your health lately?" Cai E stepped forward to speak. He knew that He Haiming was not in good health and he was so thin that he didn't look like a martial artist.

"Brother Songpo is interested. I am in good health." He Haiming quickly responded politely. Cai E is a big shot now. Besides, he can't compare with Cai E, who is one of the three outstanding non-commissioned officers.

"You still have to pay more attention and don't be too tired." Fang Jianxiong answered. After He Haiming was polite again, Cai E said: "How is the situation of the troops?" He Haiming said: "The troops are still at the station, and the personnel of each department have not got off the car. Those who came first

There is only one brigade, and there is another brigade that will arrive tomorrow morning."

Fang Jianxiong smiled and said: "Brother Yiyan has stored a lot of train skins in Bengbu. I thought you wanted to do some transportation business."

He was speaking in a joking tone, so naturally he couldn't take it seriously. He Haiming looked embarrassed and said: "Commander Fu is just laughing at me. When the Qingdao war started, I wanted to take the initiative to ask for a fight. However, the discipline of the National Defense Force is very strict. I..., I really don't dare to take the risk." Originally.

He wanted to say, "It came from the Democratic Party, but now it cannot be tolerated by the Democratic Party." So he temporarily took it back.

"Brother Yiyan, you are too worried. Brother Keqiang mentioned you many times and said that you are a talent. Since you are a talent, the country must use it. By the way, you came at the right time. Let Songpo tell you about the tasks.

." Fang Jianxiong's words made He Haiming feel warm in his heart. He took a step forward and stood up to Cai E and said, "Commander Cai, please give me your orders!"

Cai E led him to the map, explained the current battle situation, and finally solemnly said: "Liu Shutai is related to the overall situation of Qingdao, so there must be no carelessness."

"Please help me, Commander-in-Chief, rest assured that I will do my best for my humble position. Although I am not absolutely sure of success, I am determined to be benevolent!"

He Haiming answered firmly!
Chapter completed!
