Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 229: I have fought for so many years and never lost to anyone! 3-character chapter

Lin Zhenhua knew that he must not be timid at this time. He had once again operated the quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft gun, and dozens or hundreds of 1000mm shells were fired frantically. In the next three minutes, he directly fired more than 300 shells. Finally, he blew up the Japanese bomber in mid-air when it was only meters away from the ground.

Lin Zhenhua had no time to cheer. He immediately turned his gun around and fired fiercely at another Type 100 bomber. But it was too late. The bomber was only 30 meters away from the ground. He had just fired a dozen shells when the Type bomber fell rapidly from the sky. When it was only meters away from the ground, it was destroyed by the anti-aircraft machine gun team that rushed over for emergency reinforcement.

The flammable aircraft wreckage continued to fall rapidly from the sky, causing considerable casualties to the air defense positions. Lin Zhenhua had already foreseen how heavy the losses would be. Only by shooting down the Japanese outside the air defense positions could the safety of the air defense positions be guaranteed.

"Xiao Zhongyuan, hurry up and load the ammunition for me. Three of the Japanese fighter planes have successfully attacked our air defense positions. There is a gap in our air defense firepower. We must step up now!"

"Li Gousheng, sound the air raid alarm again. Don't stop sirens until the battle is over!"

As the air defense alarm sounded again, the soldiers who were conducting air defense operations were shocked and their hands moved much faster than before. The muzzles of the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns had already turned red, but in order to shoot down the Japanese fighter planes, they could only cool the barrels by constantly pouring water on them.

In order to fill the air defense gap, each anti-aircraft gun position began extreme firing when the third air defense alarm sounded. Few gun positions could do this during normal training, but under the pressure of the battlefield, 90% of the gun positions reached the level of extreme firing. Even the remaining layer reached 80% of the level of extreme firing, which was unimaginable before.

With the more intense firepower output and the courage of the soldiers to face death, the last three diving planes began to be surrounded and suppressed by the anti-aircraft artillery positions. Hundreds of shells and tens of thousands of bullets flew towards the Japanese planes. In order to avoid the flying bullets and shells, the Japanese pilots actually completed the transformation of their driving skills at the last moment of their lives. The pressure of life and death made them concentrate, and they miraculously passed through the dense firepower network and continued to advance towards the independent regiment's anti-aircraft positions.

When Ichiro Takahashi and Colonel Yoshimoto saw the scene below again, different ideas had arisen in their minds. Only pilots who had experienced life-and-death crises could become truly elite pilots. It was precisely because he valued talents that Ichiro Takahashi planned to let them evacuate from the battlefield. In this way, the Empire would have several excellent pilots. Even if some fighter jets were lost, the impact on the Empire would not be very large. On the contrary, with several excellent pilots, the Empire would make a fortune.

Just as Takahashi Ichiro was about to issue a retreat order through the radio, Colonel Yoshimoto stopped him directly and said, "Takahashi, don't disturb them from fighting for the empire. They should be like cherry blossoms, blooming their glory at the last moment of their lives. It's no use calling them back now. The reason they were able to break through the interception network of China's air defense firepower is because they put life and death aside and had no fear in their hearts. In addition, they were determined to die, which made their flying technology have a qualitative leap!"

"This is a courage that can be encouraged but not discouraged. Once they become timid and have the thought of living, they will be doomed. If someone really wants to survive, he will disobey orders and find a way to escape the enemy's air defense circle. I can guarantee that as soon as your order is issued, none of these pilots will survive!"

Ichiro Takahashi knew that what Colonel Yoshimoto said was very reasonable. He was indeed a little lacking in controlling people's hearts. He took a deep breath and regained his spirit. He quietly watched the battle in the distance. He would not leave until the battle was decided. Colonel Yoshimoto also held the same idea. These heroes deserved his respect!

Two Zero fighters and a Type 96 bomber flew through the rain of shells and bullets like flying birds. At this time, they were less than one thousand meters away from the anti-aircraft position. The moment of the real decisive battle had arrived.

Li Yunlong tightly gripped the trigger of the anti-aircraft machine gun, and hundreds of bullets were continuously fired from the ammunition belt. While firing, he shouted angrily: "Brothers, fight hard for me, and beat down these damn Japs. Our independent regiment has fought for so many years, but we haven't shot down as many fighter planes as we did today. Since the Japs want to fight us to the death, let's fight them. Killing a Japs pilot is harder than killing a Japs squadron. We have already killed five Japs squadrons today. If you count the bombers, we have killed at least a Japs regiment this morning!"

"Even if we are killed by the devils now, we will not lose. When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Cheer up, everyone. I have not admitted defeat yet, and you must not admit defeat either. There has never been any coward in our independent regiment. Even if we die, we will die upright and let the devils see the integrity of our independent regiment. In terms of fighting for life, I have fought for so many years, and I have never been defeated by anyone."

Even Zhao Gang, who was in charge of the light and heavy machine gun fire group, was personally operating a Maxim heavy machine gun, shooting desperately at the diving Japanese fighter planes, and shouting loudly: "Comrades, I am your political commissar Zhao Gang. I have been fighting with you. We have shot down 13 Japanese fighter planes today. It can be said that we have won a great victory. Now the dawn of victory is just around the corner. Comrades, hold on a little longer!"

"As long as we take down these three Japanese planes, the Japanese will be scared and will not dare to attack our independent regiment again in a short time. In the future, when comrades meet the brother troops, they will have material to brag about. I, Zhao Gang, will not say any dirty words. Today, I must say one thing, beat up those damn Japanese devils for me, let these bastards know how powerful our independent regiment is!"

Lin Zhenhua was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the situations in other air defense positions. His eyes were fixed on the last Type 300 bomber of the Japanese. Compared with fighter planes, bombers posed a greater threat to air defense positions. Just now, Lin Zhenhua discovered that the Japanese bomber still had bombs left. After landing, a violent explosion occurred, which indeed caused considerable casualties to the soldiers. This made him determined to shoot down the Japanese bomber before it descended to an altitude of meters.

Lin Zhenhua operated the quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft gun and kept firing at the last Type bomber. He adjusted the lead to one and fired dozens or even hundreds of shells. As his shooting speed became faster and faster, Xiao Zhongyuan and Li Gousheng's ammunition supply could not keep up with his shooting speed. Now even Li Shitou joined in to barely ensure the supply of shells.

"Come on, you damned little devils! Don't you want revenge? Don't you dare to face death? Come to me now! I have something good for you. I guarantee that after you eat it, you will want to eat it again in your next life!"

"Hehe, you damn little Japanese bomber, I finally caught you. Today I must shoot you down, otherwise my Northwest Artillery God will be destroyed by you. Today I will let you see how powerful I, the Northwest Artillery God, really am."

Lin Zhenhua took a deep breath, roared, and began to slowly rotate and shoot. This time he blocked all the dive routes of the Japanese bomber. The final showdown between the two sides began. Lin Zhenhua took the lead and fired a 20mm shell directly at the tail of the Type bomber, blowing it off. This immediately caused problems with the control of the Type bomber, and it immediately fell into the anti-aircraft fire circle filled with bullets and exploded in the air.

"Haha, you little damned Japs, you're too naive to fight me. I finally beat down your damned bomber. Otherwise, I would have lost my reputation as the God of Northwest Artillery!"

Lin Zhenhua turned the muzzle of the gun while complaining inside. He began to look in the other two directions. The other two Zero fighters were also intercepted, but the interception altitude was too low, one was only 50 meters from the ground, and the other was more than 100 meters from the ground. The two Zero fighters almost broke through the firepower of the anti-aircraft position and succeeded in the suicide dive. This made everyone sweat. Fortunately, the two Zero fighters were successfully shot down. Although there were some losses, compared with the losses caused by the suicide dive, this was really nothing.

"We can finally take a break, but there are still two fighter planes in the sky, so we can't completely relax our vigilance. We have to wait until they leave completely before we can arrange for the soldiers to rest!" Zhenhua said, staring at the sky in the distance.

Ichiro Takahashi and Colonel Yoshimoto did not expect that the last three fighter planes still failed to break through the blockade, but before they died, they also caused some damage to the independent regiment's air defense positions, which made them feel better.

"Mr. Yoshimoto, there is no need for us to stay any longer. Before we came here, we didn't expect that the Chinese army's anti-aircraft firepower would be so powerful. It seems that the intelligence we got before was very inaccurate. It can even be said that it has greatly misled us. The last bombing operation launched by Taiyuan Airport against the Independent Regiment was not only due to the weather factor. We were deceived by Major General Yoshihara before. He must have concealed a lot of important information. I plan to report this matter to Commander Tada Shun after I go back and ask him to do justice for us!" Takahashi Ichiro said angrily.

After all, his Takahashi Squadron was basically wiped out in this battle, and even Colonel Yoshimoto's Yoshimoto Bomber Squadron was in the same situation. The two sides had a common experience and could just unite!
