Rise from eight hundred

Chapter 56: It will be counted (new January, please guarantee the monthly pass at the end!)

Why did the Japanese planes arrive so early?
In fact, Tang Dao also felt a little surprised.

In the past time and space, after the Japanese army could not attack itself for a long time and suffered heavy casualties, they finally used the plane, but instead of dropping bombs, they flew straight to the edge of the concession and shot at the roof with machine guns.

That did not frighten the Chinese defenders in the warehouse, but frightened the Western 'gentlemen' in the concession, and repeatedly put pressure on the Chinese government, forcing them to order the Sixing warehouse defenders to retreat into the concession.

Yes, it was not the warring parties between China and Japan that ended the Battle of the Four Elements Warehouse, but a melon-eater audience on the edge of the battlefield who was worried that they would be accidentally injured.

But now, although the Japanese army suffered setbacks in two consecutive wars, it was only a small loss, and it did not reach the point where they could use fighter jets to drop bombs regardless of the warnings of the Western world.

unless
"Sir, if the Japanese can call fighter jets to bomb the edge of the concession, then I am really impressed by the decentralization of the Japanese command structure." Tang Dao replied firmly.

"You mean bluff?" The lieutenant colonel's brows furrowed deeper.

Tang Dao's words are not unreasonable, but as the top commander in the warehouse, he must be responsible for the more than 400 brothers under him.

Obviously, if it was bombed and killed by a Japanese aircraft in the warehouse, it would not only be worthless, but it would even contribute to the arrogance of the Japanese army to a certain extent.

"Brother Tang Dao, how sure are you?" Lei Xiong was stunned. "Why did the Japanese do this?"

He also heard what Tang Dao meant, that is to say that the Japanese fighter jets were just here to scare people around. Do you think the Japanese jet fuel is blown by the strong wind?

"The Japanese dispatched fighter planes, of course not for useless work." Tang Dao listened to the faint humming in the air, his eyes were cold: "I am afraid they want to see our machine guns!"

At this point, the lieutenant colonel of the army finally made up his mind:

"Lei Xiong, send someone to the roof to observe the height and distance of the enemy plane.

Also, follow the order and then act, whoever dares to act without authorization, engage in military law. "

Although Lei Xiong was a little unwilling, the military order was like a mountain, and it was no joke in the military to say that military law was engaged in, especially in this kind of wartime, breaking the military order was an instant thing.

"Report, the height of the enemy plane is about 1200 meters, and the straight-line distance from my warehouse is about 1000 meters. It has begun to hover in the air and may enter the battlefield to drop bombs at any time." report down firmly.

Hearing the machine gunner's report, Lieutenant Colonel's grim face became much lighter. He glanced at Tang Dao, whose expression remained unchanged, and snorted softly, "Platoon Commander Tang is right, The Japanese pirates are really playing with their minds."

"What do you mean? Lao Lei, do you understand?" Deng Ying, who had not spoken for a long time, quietly poked Lei Xiong, who was a little confused. "Why is it that the deputy of the regiment can be sure that the devil is playing with his heart?"

Lei Xiong rolled his eyes at him, and replied angrily: "How many directions are there in our Sixing warehouse where the devils can drop bombs without being thrown into the concession?"

"Let's go from east to west!" Deng Ying thought about it carefully and answered somewhat uncertainly.

"That's okay. The Devil's fighter jets are already flying from the sea in the east, so they're still circling a bird! If there is a bomb, it will be over." Lei Xiong spread his hands in frustration.

"The little devil of the dog day is just a flower stand. It seems that he will not lower his height, and I will not be addicted to living."

"Hey, Captain Lei, I don't think so." Tang Dao smiled faintly.

"The devils have made their move. If we don't play with them, won't they be lonely?"

"Haha, that makes sense!" Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel laughed loudly, but his eyes showed determination.

"Order, the No. 1 position of the machine gun company will drag the machine guns and heavy machine guns from the traffic trenches out of the roof and enter the fortifications to shoot at the enemy aircraft, but you must remember that the shooting should not exceed 30 seconds, and immediately retreat back to the building. , everyone must not be in love with war. Violators engage in military law.”

"Brothers, work!" As soon as he heard that he could get over the addiction to dry planes, Lei Xiong didn't bother to continue talking with Deng Ying, and he took big strides and rushed towards the roof.

And a cannon squad that had already been on standby carried a 200-kilogram cannon along the traffic trench and entered the fortification. It took almost only 2 minutes for the cannon to be ready.

First, the heavy machine gun made a speech, and then Lei Xiong, who took the battle position himself, controlled the machine gun and started shooting. However, this time, Lei Xiong was not like before. Two Japanese planes are circling in the sky shooting.

The two Japanese planes didn't lower their altitude very much. Immediately after being attacked, they raised their noses with conventional tactics to raise the altitude, and passed over the roof of the Sixing warehouse at high speed.

Lei Xiong was not reluctant to fight, and immediately jumped out of the battle position after hitting a bullet plate, shouting for a brother to carry the machine gun and run away.

Lei Xiong was strong in his own right, and he stayed in the cannon company for two or three years, and his prestige was extremely high.

Although the soldiers had a lot of criticism about running away with heavy machine guns after a few shuttles, no one dared to talk nonsense, and the speed of running was no slower than that of taking up positions.

The role of strict military orders on the battlefield has finally been reflected.

The soldiers who had just carried the bulky things back and forth and still complained a little, after hiding in the building for 1 minute, they knew how wise their officers were.

The Japanese plane just flew not far from the building. The Japanese army's mountain artillery fired, almost no test firing. In a round of extremely fast shelling, nearly 30 shells fell on the building in just 20 seconds, and the entire roof was blown up. A sea of ​​fire.

This is what Yin Teng Zhongji calls "hitting the grass to startle the snake".

Taking advantage of the threat of bombs being dropped by the plane, the cannons and heavy machine guns that can be used for air defense are drawn out of the warehouse, and then covered with artillery fire, so as to destroy the cannons that the Chinese defenders feared for the chariot squadrons, for the infantry's attack. Pave the way.

Tang Dao's judgment is correct. The Japanese in this period still have scruples about the Western world that used to knock open the Edo Bay with strong ships and cannons. One trick.

And the reason why Lieutenant Colonel of the Army finally made up his mind to believe in Tang Dao was right. The altitude of the Japanese plane was too high.

If the Japanese are really stunned at that moment, they have to risk the world to drop bombs. In order to increase the accuracy, the flight altitude must be lowered to at least 500 meters.

Because, from a height of more than 1000 meters, the smallest error is also 200 meters, and 100 meters away is the concession.

Drop bombs at that height, unless they can be as shameless and self-confident as they would declare war four years later, after jabbing the American cowboy in the ass in the Pacific.

Otherwise, they may face the front of the Western world without being able to justify themselves.

Westerners look down on poor and backward China, can they look down on Japan?
That's really overthinking it.

In this era, even a hundred years later, there is still a gap that is destined to be insurmountable between Eastern and Western cultures and perceptions.
