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

Chapter 225: Damn little devil, I caught you, don't try to escape this time! 3-word chapter

"College student, I have fought in wars for so many years and made many mistakes, but I have never been vague on matters of principle! But you are different from me. Even if you do something out of line, the brigade commander won't say anything. After all, you are a guest!"

"Actually, the incendiary bomb you made before was pretty good. It made the Japanese scream in pain. It was creepy to me. It was more powerful than the Japanese's poison gas bomb. You should hurry up and make more of them. That incendiary bomb will definitely give the Japanese a hard time!" Li Yunlong joked with a smile.

Lin Zhenhua almost couldn't help laughing when he thought of the miserable plight of Yamamoto's special forces last time. He replied cheerfully, "Old Li, the incendiary bomb you mentioned is mainly difficult to make because of two materials. But once our arsenal is on track, I will be able to make it in two months at most. By then, I will definitely be able to give the Japanese a good beating!"

"This time the Japs' attack was fierce, and we suffered such a big setback yesterday. I estimate that the Japs' revenge will soon follow. I have no idea at all. I really don't understand why the Japs are interested in our independent regiment. Each time they send out more troops than the last time. It's as if they won't stop until our independent regiment is destroyed!"

In fact, on this point, Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang had the same question. They simply couldn't understand what was wrong with the Japanese devils. They kept biting the independent regiment, from a battalion in the beginning, then a regiment, and now a brigade. If that didn't work, would they send out a division next time?

"Old Li, we have lost contact with the brigade headquarters. We should quickly send out a signalman to contact them and ask the brigade commander to bring people to support us. The Japanese are determined to destroy our independent regiment. With our current strength, we may not be able to withstand it. I think it's better to be safe!" Zhao Gang suggested seriously.

Lin Zhenhua did not come out to object. The two battles yesterday were actually very dangerous. Once the Japanese air support arrived, they would only have a dozen artillery pieces at their disposal. This was thanks to the artillery positions built before. Otherwise, they might not dare to use even one heavy artillery piece. After all, the Japanese used fighter planes to deal with their heavy artillery, which was a complete dimensionality reduction attack. Even with the help of the anti-aircraft battalion, it would be useless!

"Old Li, the previous battle can only be considered a warm-up. The next one will be the formal battle. We need to prepare for the worst. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese is indeed much weaker than it was two or three years ago, but our independent regiment is not much better. The problem of insufficient training of the soldiers has not been solved, and the consequences of blind expansion have already become apparent. Don't underestimate the enemy just because we have a large number of artillery. That would be a big loss!" Lin Zhenhua said with a worried look on his face.

Li Yunlong listened to the advice of the two men completely. If it were a few days ago, he would have underestimated the enemy, but the two battles yesterday poured a bucket of cold water on him and made him regain his previous calmness.

"Lao Zhao, college student, I will arrange for Duan Peng to go to the brigade headquarters in a while. I also plan to send monks to meet Lao Kong and Lao Ding's reinforcements. The more troops we have now, the more chances we have of winning. As for Lao Xing, let him continue to recruit soldiers. Even if he rushes back now, I estimate that the battle will be over by the time he returns. There is no need to let him bring people back. If we really fail to defend the base, Lao Xing can also evacuate early to retain more vitality for our independent regiment!"

"Zhu Zi, you must immediately arrange for someone to withdraw the heavy artillery. I estimate that the Japanese will not launch another attack today. As for whether the Japanese fighter planes will come, I am really uncertain. However, we must prepare for the worst and hide our heavy artillery first. We cannot use heavy artillery to attack the Japanese during the day, but we can let the Japanese have a taste of the power of our heavy artillery at night."

"I've finally figured it out. We'll stall for time with the Japs during the day, and beat them up at night. After a few days of fighting, we'll wear out their patience. Then we'll organize a large-scale counterattack and completely eliminate the threat of the Japs' Second Mixed Brigade to our base!"

At 24 a.m., the heavy artillery and most of the mountain artillery of the independent regiment were evacuated from the artillery positions, leaving only 48 artillery pieces in the artillery position to guard against the enemy! Two anti-aircraft companies were deployed at the front line, with 36 anti-aircraft guns and 108 anti-aircraft machine guns ready to fight, and light and heavy machine guns formed three anti-aircraft firepower groups as a supplement to the air defense force.

Lin Zhenhua was observing the distant sky through the artillery observation equipment, and suddenly found several black spots in the northeast direction, which made him alert immediately. He immediately adjusted the observation manually and found a total of 18 black spots. They were approaching at a very fast speed. It can be confirmed that they are the Japanese fighter planes. The models are nine Zero fighters and nine Type 18 bombers. He immediately shouted loudly: " enemy planes have been found, heading southeast, start air defense preparations immediately!"

Sanwazi immediately sounded the air defense alarm. As the shrill air defense alarm sounded on the position, the soldiers immediately hid in the air-raid shelter. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also hurried to the front-line command center and called to ask all troops to enter the air-raid shelter immediately. No one was allowed to go out before the air defense alarm was lifted!

"Lao Zhao, when it comes to air defense command and operations, neither of us can compare to the college students. I will be in charge of the anti-aircraft machine guns' air defense, and you will be in charge of the air defense of the three ground anti-aircraft firepower groups. The anti-aircraft guns' air defense will be commanded by the college students. The three of us will work together to try to shoot down more of the Japanese fighter planes!"

"The Japanese suffered a great loss last time, and they will probably be very vigilant this time. We must be prepared for a tough battle! But don't worry too much, we have enough ammunition, and I am still very confident that we can shoot down the Japanese planes! Only when the Japanese pilots are hurt and scared, will they dare not come to our independent regiment's base to make trouble again!" Li Yunlong said seriously.

Zhao Gang knew what the second half of Li Yunlong's sentence meant, although he understood that it was very difficult to achieve that effect. After all, if the Japanese fighter planes really wanted to engage in air guerrilla warfare, the Independent Regiment would really have no good way to deal with it. After all, if they really ignored it, it might really cause huge losses to the Independent Regiment.

"Old Li, we don't have any good solution now. Let's take it one step at a time. Some things are not up to us to decide. After all, we don't have wings and there is no way we can duel with the Japanese pilots. We can only shoot down a few more planes and intimidate the Japanese into retreating!" Zhao Gang said seriously.

Lin Zhenhua had no time to pay attention to Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong at this moment. All his attention was now focused on the incoming Japanese fighter planes. Just now, the Japanese nine fighter planes had completed their pre-war formation. One Zero fighter was responsible for protecting the bomber group, and the remaining eight Zero fighters formed four two-plane formations, launching raids on the independent regiment's defensive positions from the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest directions.

"Old Zhao, you will be responsible for fighting the two Zero fighters of the Japanese attacking from the east. Old Li, you will be responsible for the west. Sanwazi, you will be responsible for the south. I will be responsible for the north. We estimate that the Japanese are about 30 kilometers away from us. We will prepare for the battle in six minutes. Immediately adjust the angles and directions of the air defense firepower. After the adjustment is completed, immediately start firing into the air. We must resolutely shoot down the attacking Japanese fighters!"

Lin Zhenhua put down the phone in his hand and went directly into the position of the first anti-aircraft company. He wanted to personally operate the anti-aircraft gun to fire into the sky. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were no exception. They also entered the anti-aircraft positions according to Lin Zhenhua's pre-war deployment and began three minutes of pre-war preparations!

As the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were adjusted, 108 light and heavy machine guns began to turn their muzzles, completing the triangular firepower deployment. After all the preparations were completed, Lin Zhenhua pulled the gun rope hard, and an anti-aircraft shell was fired directly. It exploded in the air a few dozen seconds later, not far from the Japanese. Lin Zhenhua immediately changed the lead time and fired another anti-aircraft shell for a test shot. This time the distance to the Japanese plane was very close. He immediately ordered each gun position to start firing into the air according to the lead time he gave.

Lin Zhenhua came to the 20mm anti-aircraft gun position next to him and began to aim at the sky. He had thought that there were no 20mm anti-aircraft guns at all, but he didn't expect that he found eight of the large pile of junk sent by General Bella. After emergency repairs, he finally repaired one. What made Lin Zhenghua most curious was that General Bella actually sent him more than 20 mm anti-aircraft gun shells. Now he really couldn't understand how the other party sent the goods. It was a complete hodgepodge.

Lin Zhenhua skillfully operated the 20mm quadruple anti-aircraft gun. Since its maximum range was only 2200 meters, it could only hit low-altitude targets. However, this made Lin Zhenhua more suspicious. He thought that this should be the junk of the Third Reich Navy, or even their test product, because he had never heard that the other side's army had ever been equipped with this quadruple anti-aircraft gun. But at this point, what else does it matter? As long as it can be used, it's fine.

Lin Zhenhua operated the quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft gun and completed the aiming at the Japanese Zero fighter. The loader had already loaded the shells. Lin Zhenhua stepped down hard, aiming at a Zero fighter that was diving at low altitude, and madly poured out firepower.

"Come on, you damned little Japs! Grandpa has prepared thousands of shells for you, just waiting for you to come and eat them. Today, I will fight you. Even if I have to consume more ammunition, I will shoot you down!"

Lin Zhenhua cursed, but his hands and feet did not move. He adjusted the shooting angle and direction while pouring shells at the Japanese Zero fighter in the air. Some of the shells hit the side of the Japanese fighter. Lin Zhenhua changed the lead again, this time directly to two, and shouted with a grim smile on his face: "Damn little Japanese, I've caught you, don't try to escape this time!"
