my bright sword career

Mandalay

After the bombing the day before yesterday, Mandalay seems to be much depressed, and there are fewer pedestrians on the street, and you can often see

"Your Excellency, would you like a cup of coffee?"

Chief of Staff Major General Sawamoto Rikichiro walked up to the 33rd Army Commander Lieutenant General Tomoto Masai with a tray, and put a cup of coffee next to him without waiting for his answer.

Duoben Zhengcai took a sip of the coffee, frowned slightly and put down the cup: "I still prefer tea to coffee."

Rikichiro Sawamoto smiled, "But this thing can refresh the mind, and it is very convenient to carry and brew, which is much more convenient than tea.

And don't you think that after drinking it a few times, the taste of coffee is actually not so bad? "

"Hehe... maybe."

After Duoben Zhengcai finished speaking, a look of worry flashed across his face, "Mr. Zemoto, you must have seen it too? Since the Chinese people received assistance from the Americans, their strength has improved rapidly.

The current China Expeditionary Force has not only begun to change into American equipment, but even its logistics materials have been greatly improved.

According to the intelligence from the front line, we can often find coffee and cigarettes on the corpses of Chinese soldiers, which is not good news for us. "

Sawamoto Rikichiro suppressed the smile on his face and sighed softly: "Senior generals like them certainly understand the importance of logistics to the army.

Even non-combat supplies such as coffee and cigarettes can be distributed to soldiers. Such a sufficient supply of supplies is even worse than that of the Japanese army. "

Perhaps because he didn't want to discuss this matter any more, Duoben Zhengcai quickly changed the subject, "By the way, where are those Allied prisoners of war now?"

"According to Li Linqiaolong's report, they stopped yesterday 160 kilometers west of Shan State to rest.

By the way, Kuribayashi Hashiryu also specifically reported something. On the way, they encountered a brigade sent by the No.18 Division. It is said that Mutaguchi Renya, the commander of the division, specially sent to escort the prisoners of war to Shan State. "

"And this? How come I don't know?"

Due to the sensitivity of the soldiers, Duoben Zhengcai was keenly aware of something wrong, and he immediately said: "Send a report to Mr. Mu Tian immediately, ask about this matter, and report to me immediately after you get a reply."

"Hay!"

The Eighteenth Division was very efficient, and the call back from the Eighteenth Division came within half an hour.

"What... Mutaguchi-kun didn't dispatch the escort?"

Masai Tomoto's complexion immediately changed, and Rikichiro Sawamoto's complexion, who was standing opposite him, also turned pale.

"No, this army must have been sent by the Chinese... Hurry up... Send a report to Lilin Qiaolong immediately and ask him to wipe out the fake imperial army!"

In desperation, Tomoto Masai didn't realize whether the defense team led by Kuribayashi Hashiryu could beat the opponent.

However, his order could not be sent out immediately, because there was a buzzing sound in the sky, and then the anti-aircraft artillery deployed in various places in Mandalay began to blare.

As the head of an army-level force, Mandalay still has air defense forces, but in view of the Japanese's historical contempt for air defense forces, its investment in air defense forces is actually relatively small.

There are less than sixty anti-aircraft artillery in the whole of Mandalay, most of which are Type 96 25mm anti-aircraft guns, and a small number of Type [-] anti-aircraft guns.

When the gunfire sounded, Tomoto Masai and Sawamoto Rikichiro rushed towards the door almost at the same time.

When the two of them rushed out of the headquarters building and came to the open space ahead, they happened to see a plane painted black like a huge pirate with a pair of inverted wings swooping down towards the ground.

Accompanied by the low roar of the 12-cylinder engine, Wu Huajian, who was flying at an altitude of 4000 meters, felt suffocated.

As a rookie participating in actual combat for the first time, Wu Huajian was naturally very nervous.

Seeing the three-story building on the ground getting bigger and bigger, his heart beat faster and faster.

However, he did not miss the ten-month aviation school. Although he was excited, he still adjusted his course slightly and began to rush towards the tall buildings on the ground. After completing a beautiful left lateral turn in the air, Stuka swooped down. The bomber began a downward dive.

Wu Huajian then adjusted the angle of his dive, and the angle was approaching the red critical point, 60 degrees! 65 degrees! 68 degrees! 70 degrees...

Wu Huajian, with his eyes on the mechanical sight, opened the speedbrake at the same time. The extremely exaggerated multi-hole speedbrake on the wing was opened and stretched at a 90-degree angle, which can obtain an acceleration of minus 6G, decelerate the aircraft, and improve the dive performance and speed. Bombing accuracy, this is what the instructor has repeatedly told.

After all this was done, the plane began to make a shrill whistling sound, and Wu Huajian knew it was the sound of Stuka's dive.

There is an air-driven sounding device at the cooling air intake of the Stuka's nose, which emits a shrill scream similar to an air raid siren during a dive. Before the bomb falls, it can have a great psychological impact on the people on the ground. Shock, strengthening the blow effect.

It has to be said that the Germans who invented this thing know psychology.They know that the piercing roar of the dive bomber can sometimes even deal more psychological blows to the enemy than aerial bombs.

At the same time, Tomoto Masai and Sawamoto Rikichiro on the ground looked at Stuka who swooped down from the sky at an almost vertical angle, frightened and frightened.

"Run!"

Duoben Zhengcai sprinted forward at the fastest speed in his life when he only had time to make such a sound.

In fact, without mentioning the two Masai Takamoto, when Stuka rushed to the ground at an almost vertical dive angle with a piercing scream like a hell monster, all the Japanese soldiers on the airport were stunned by what they saw and heard. They all stared dumbfounded at the devil-like plane headed by it.

"600 meters, 500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters!" The machine gunner sitting behind kept reminding his ears.

"Drip, drop, drop" dived to the standard bombing height of 300 meters, and while the red warning light was on, Wu Huajian looked at the growing building on the ground, finally adjusted the angle, and quickly pulled down the bombing handle .

At the moment when the bombing handle is pulled away, the belly pylon is stretched out. This is to avoid that when the bomb is dropped at a large angle, the aerial bomb may collide with the propeller. The front of the pylon is connected to the fuselage by a hinge, and the rear When the bomb is dropped, the bomb leaves the fuselage, but it is still connected to the pylon. The pylon rotates forward and downward until it is about 90 degrees away from the fuselage, so as to avoid contact with the propeller when the bomb is dropped. The possibility of a collision.

Then a [-]kg aerial bomb broke away from the hook and hit the ground heavily with inertia...
