my bright sword career

Chapter 325
Facing the siege of Type Zero, Pan Dingguo's aircraft fleet still lined up neatly, using dense firepower to form firewalls to prevent Japanese aircraft from attacking.

Although four Zeros were shot down, the Japanese army did not lose anything. The last B25 was hit on the right wing. I don't know if it was the electric circuit or the oil circuit. Thick black smoke burst out from the right wing instantly.

Although injured, the B25 still gritted its teeth and followed closely behind the group, and the shooter on the plane used more violent firepower to prevent the Japanese plane from approaching.

But all the crew members of bombers will be told when they enter the army on the first day that when the bomber group is attacked by enemy fighters, any behavior that tries to escape from the group is the most stupid behavior. There is no use for dragging teammates down.

And at a high altitude not far away, Kosuke Fujikawa was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he saw that his own attack not only failed to achieve the goal, but also lost four Zero Types.

At this moment, Kosuke Fujikawa discovered that the bomber fleet had begun to lower its altitude, which was in preparation for the bombing... Looking at the long marching team faintly visible below, Kosuke Fujikawa desperately pressed down on the joystick and dived towards a bomber. Go, press the button desperately after approaching the shooting distance, and three fireworks flashed immediately on the nose and wings.

The attack lasted for a few seconds, but to Kosuke Fujikawa's despair, although he shot desperately, his bullets seemed to have no effect on the opponent's fuselage, and the bomber was still flying firmly. When I was desperate, I saw a cloud of black smoke from the left wing of the bomber... When Kosuke Fujikawa pulled it up again, a bright fireball rose in the air, and the left wing of the bomber caught fire.

Pan Dingguo turned his head and saw the left wing of a B25 behind him on the right. The left wing was on fire. He quickly asked through the radio: "2435...2435, the left wing of your plane is on fire, can you continue to fly?"

After a while, a heavy breathing sounded in the headset, which seemed to be mixed with a bit of pain: "Report sir, my machine is seriously damaged and can no longer move forward. I request immediate bombing."

"The request is rejected!" Pan Dingguo said without hesitation: "My bomber fleet has arrived at the destination, and your plane immediately changed its course to stay away from the Japanese marching team, and parachuted immediately after breaking away from contact."

Pan Dingguo's order made sense. Now that they have arrived over the 33rd Division, if they parachute after dropping the bombs, the crew members will most likely fall into the hands of the Japanese army and land in the Japanese army's position. With the brutality of the Japanese army, the entire The crew must be in danger, so Pan Dingguo vetoed the other party without hesitation.

After receiving Pan Dingguo's order, the plane could only turn its course and start to leave the formation, but just as it left the formation, several Zeros immediately rushed over like hungry wolves. In the flames, the right wing of the B-25 There was also a raging fire.

"The engine of 2435 is also broken!" A sad voice sounded in the communication channel, and everyone felt sad.

"2435, get out of the battlefield immediately... parachute immediately... skydive immediately!" Pan Dingguo shouted anxiously.

This time, 2435 did not reply, but swooped down towards the Japanese army on the ground.

Tens of seconds later, a cloud of black smoke hundreds of meters high suddenly rose from the ground, as if seeing lightning first and then hearing thunder. It took several seconds before there was a violent "bang" explosion. The plane, loaded with heavy bombs and fuel, exploded like a giant bomb.

Seeing the thick black smoke rising from the ground, everyone felt as if they were being weighed down.

While the air fighters were desperately attacking, the air defense forces of the 33rd Division were also desperately raining bullets into the air. The only six 6-type 75mm anti-aircraft guns were desperately firing at the air, and this was the only time the 33rd Division Some anti-aircraft firepower.

But there is an old saying that goes well, if the quality is not enough to make up the quantity, it doesn't matter if the anti-aircraft guns are not enough, we have other machine guns.

Due to the preparations made in advance, Shigetaro Amakasu, the head of the 33rd Division, even mobilized hundreds of Type [-] heavy machine guns, put them on high stands, and switched them to air defense mode. For a while, countless bullets rained towards the sky.

"Altitude 2500, bearing 4567"

The air observer buried in the ground had seen the belly of the bomber group through the binoculars, and began to shout in a trembling voice. He suppressed his fear and shouted out various indices. The antiaircraft artillery unit needs to correct the shooting height and trajectory.

"Delay 5 minutes."

The ammunition hand standing next to the ammunition immediately adjusted the timing fire plate of the shell fuze after hearing the 5-minute-delayed roar. Compared with the technically complex anti-aircraft gun, the anti-aircraft artillery shell is very simple, nothing more than a delayed grenade.

At this time, the 75-type 22mm anti-aircraft gun was raining bullets into the air at a rate of fire of 360 rounds per minute. It is currently a relatively advanced anti-aircraft gun in Japan. empty shot.

In the face of the incoming bomber fleet, the people of the 33rd Division were also in a hurry. In order to hit the bomber fleet as much as possible, the anti-aircraft artillery unit even ignored the Zero fighters that were intercepting the bomber fleet in the air, and desperately poured bullets into the air to try to disperse the bombers. Or shoot down bombers.

Although the high-explosive bombs fired by the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery exploded, it is difficult to cause fatal damage to the hard exterior of the B-25 bomber with only steel projectiles, but if it hits the engine, it is very likely to destroy it or force it to withdraw from the formation and return. .

However, the bomber fleet at this time was bearing double blows from the ground and the air. Even so, they still flew towards the target tenaciously. The hatches of all the bombers had been opened, and even several bombers could be described as riddled with holes. Inside is a mess.

Pan Dingguo, who was sitting in the cockpit, heard a crisp sound from the armor outside the cabin, and he could even feel his legs tremble. How many times was this hit?Pan Dingguo didn't take the time to calculate. He just held the joystick desperately to keep the plane stable. Japanese fighter jets could be seen circling and attacking in front of him. Obviously they had noticed that it was the leader of the fleet.

At this time, the Japanese pilots obviously realized that relying on the machine guns on the planes could not prevent the bombers from reaching the sky above the 33rd Division, and then began to change their strategy, speeding up and rushing towards the bombers. Just now, several Zero fighters tried to destroy the bombers by collision, but they were all forced back by the fierce firepower of the fleet, and even two were shot down.

"Attention...attention...the fleet has reached the sky above the target" Suddenly, the voice of the observer came from the headset.

"Target found, azimuth at 1:1200, distance... [-] meters."

At this time, Pan Dingguo's forehead had already seen a layer of sweat, and his eyes were fixed on the target. When he heard the sound of the observation hand calling out to reach the sky above the target, he moved his stiff hands vigorously, feeling his fingers Not as jerky as before, before opening the red safety lock of the bomb release button.

In the observation mirror, antiaircraft guns were firing at the air. Next to the antiaircraft guns, trucks and artillery were evacuated to the side of the road. These targets were pressing into the middle of the crosshairs one by one.

Three seconds before the meeting point met the crosshairs, Pan Dingguo began to count down, sweat streaming from his forehead, dripping down his eyebrows onto his frost-covered eyes and sights.

"Enter the target...drop the bomb!" The moment the voice fell, Pan Dingguo pressed the bomb button...

As the pilot aircraft, Pan Dingguo dropped a 1000-kilogram high-explosive bomb. The smoke cloud from the explosion of the high-explosive aerial bomb will serve as an indicator of the target.

The bombs falling freely in the air became bigger and bigger in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers who were not in a hurry to dodge on the ground, and finally passed over their heads at a very fast speed, and landed on a truck with a huge shock wave. Countless steel fragments swept across the ground suddenly, overturning a large group of people around them. In an instant, there was a loud noise from the whole ground, and gravel, dust and various small objects poured down overwhelmingly. For a while, smoke and dust filled the entire road. Before he could react, several bombs fell on both sides of the road one after another. With the explosion, the ground seemed to be trembling.

The bombs dropped by the plane detonated the artillery shells carried by the artillery regiment trucks, causing the martyrdom. In this massive explosion, at least six artillery pieces were destroyed.

However, this is not over yet. After Pan Dingguo dropped the bomb, the 22 B-25s that followed also dropped the bomb.

It took less than 5 minutes for dozens of tons of aerial bombs to be dropped. When the bombs were dropped, the air defense positions and artillery wing of the 33rd Division were already in flames.

"All return!"

Looking at the Japanese army's position, which was billowing in thick smoke and couldn't see its original appearance, Pan Dingguo gave the order to return.

But in the face of the bomber group that started to return, the Zero fighters behind them could only stare blankly this time.

There was no other reason, because they had already emptied all the bullets they carried in the interception just now, and the Japanese pilots could only yell at the bombers as they watched the group of bombers going away.

The impatient pilot even planned to rush over with the bomber group, but was stopped by Kosuke Fujikawa.

"Baga, Lu, are you all idiots? It's not uncommon for you to know the powerful firepower of the Chinese bomber. Just now, when you had enough ammunition, you couldn't do anything to the opponent. Now that you have run out of bullets, what's the use of flying the plane over there?" Use? Make them a target?"

There was a feeling of grief and indignation in the hearts of the people. The snack fighters were armed with two 7.7mm machine guns of the 20th type and a [-]mm cannon of the [-]th type.

To be honest, the power of the 7.7mm machine gun is far from enough for the more and more robust bombers. It is a miracle to shoot down just now, and the Type 20 [-]mm machine gun is not to mention the second floor.

The rate of fire is slow, the ballistics are loose, and the ammunition capacity is only 200 rounds. Whether it can hit depends entirely on faith.
