Chapter 159: Smash the Japanese reconnaissance plane in mid-air!
Since the Independent Regiment and the Eighth Route Army had almost no air force at that time, and even had no air defense force at all before, the Independent Regiment was almost at the mercy of the Japanese Air Force for some time before.
Therefore, the Japanese Air Force is quite arrogant.
"Tanaka, after we finish this flight, how about I treat you to a drink when we get back?"
Of the two reconnaissance planes flying in front, the one chatting with its wingman using the onboard radio. Since there were no Chinese troops and almost no planes in this airspace, they unscrupulously used the combat channel as a means of chatting.
"Okay, Nishimura-kun, I heard that there is a new batch of girls near our army, and they are specially supplied...our..."
The wingman's pilot was also chatting with Nishimura Rokusuke on the combat channel.
Due to the limitations of the Japanese's industrial level, the wireless communication between different aircraft was not very effective at all, but they had become accustomed to it.
In most combat situations, they often rely on lights and mutual signals to understand the intentions of other aircraft in the formation and form coordinated operations.
Although it is completely inferior to air force powers like the United States, Germany and Russia, the Japanese Air Force still has a considerable advantage on the battlefield in China.
"Tanaka, look..."
As the lead plane in the double formation, Nishimura Rokusuke obviously had more combat experience. Through the porthole he saw a bonfire burning wildly in the valley.
He wanted to contact his wingman Tanaka Akira via walkie-talkie, but the damn walkie-talkie was disconnected again. Nishimura Rokusuke was so angry that he smashed the phone away.
"Nishimura, what's the west, what's the west?"
Just when he was about to give up, Tanaka's voice came from the phone again.
Nishimura reluctantly picked up the phone he had thrown away and said, "Tanaka, look in the valley below us, is there a big bonfire?"
"Yes!"
In this age when there is almost no light at night, a bonfire in the valley is particularly eye-catching.
"I suspect this is the Chinese army holding a party. I'm going to shoot them!"
"Nishimura-kun, what if this is an ambush by the Independent Regiment and it lures us in?" There was obvious worry in Tanaka Akira's voice.
"Ambush? Their idea of ambush our Locust Army's air force is simply stupid and ridiculous!"
After saying that, Nishimura Rokusuke hung up the phone and dived directly towards the bonfire.
Tanaka Akira was a little worried and hesitated for a moment, but still followed the leader and dived towards the bonfire.
Just a moment of hesitation saved his life.
on the ground.
As soon as it got dark, the Second Battalion was ordered to light a bonfire in an open area in the valley as bait to attract the Japanese, and then quickly retreat far away.
The ambush position of Captain Yang was on the hillside closest to the campfire, with a very wide air firing range. No matter which direction the Japanese planes came from, he could aim and shoot at the first moment.
Nishimura Rokusuke's dive speed was pushed to the extreme, and he started to lay fire before his altitude reached the minimum.
The reconnaissance plane did not have any heavy firepower, only two onboard machine guns, but its dense firepower was extremely fierce.
Bullets rained down on the campfire, which collapsed and scattered into sparks all over the sky.
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
When Nishimura Rokusuke's plane opened fire, he himself became a target.
When the Japanese reconnaissance plane poured out bullets like a rainstorm, sixteen gun barrels were just putting the bullets into their crosshairs. At this time, he could no longer escape.
Almost at the same time as the Japanese opened fire, Captain Yang stomped hard on the pedal of the anti-aircraft gun, and a sharp roar shot out from the barrel.
blah blah blah!
A series of shells poured out from the twin gun barrels, carrying with them the endless anger of the soldiers and pouring out all the frustration they had experienced during this period of time.
When loading, there is a tracer bullet between every five shells. With the intense friction between the shells and the air, the white phosphorus coated on the surface is instantly ignited and lit up.
Like a sharp sword, it directly split the darkness and stabbed the arrogant figure from a very long distance.
Because the Japanese reconnaissance plane had already descended to its lowest altitude at this time and was in the process of adjusting its posture, it had no ability to resist the sudden downpour of shells.
Nishimura Rokusuke watched helplessly as a series of bright lights roared towards his plane. He was almost frightened to death. Even though he tried to use all his strength to adjust the plane's attitude, it was of no avail.
too late.
Nishimura Rokusuke widened his eyes and watched dozens of shells grow bigger and bigger in his eyes.
boom!
boom!
boom!
A series of shells hit the Japanese plane, causing it to explode instantly.
The Japanese planes, especially the Japanese reconnaissance planes, can be said to have abandoned everything for the sake of mobility. Even the armor of the planes was extremely thin.
Under such powerful artillery shells, this layer of steel is as good as paper.
It was torn apart in an instant.
Nishimura Rokusuke watched helplessly as the shells penetrated the armor of the plane and then exploded in the cabin. Several shells even exploded directly in front of it!
The powerful force tore his sinful body into pieces.
The moment before he lost consciousness, Nishimura Rokusuke suddenly felt extremely regretful. He regretted why he came to China and why he underestimated the enemy.
After being hit by more than a dozen shells, Nishimura Rokusuke's plane broke into several pieces. One of the shells hit the plane's fuel tank, causing it to explode on the spot.
The entire plane exploded into a fireball and then flew apart in the explosion of the shells.
Just now, Nishimura Rokusuke used a machine gun to shatter the bonfire on the ground into sparks all over the sky. Now his own fate was the same as that of the bonfire, and it really turned into sparks all over the sky.
Tanaka Akira saw the miserable state of Nishimura Rokusuke's plane through the glass. Before he could lower the altitude to the minimum, he pulled the joystick with all his strength, and the entire plane was forced to change its flight trajectory.
Tanaka Akira could even hear the creaking sound of the drive shaft. It was obvious that the forced twisting of the flight attitude had caused huge damage to the aircraft, but he could no longer care about so much at this time.
He just wanted to escape from this dangerous trap as quickly as possible.
But it was too late, he had been targeted by anti-aircraft guns on another hill.
There was also a gorgeous belt of bullets coming straight towards his plane.
Hearing the artillery shells whizzing past not far from the plane, Tanaka Akira felt as if his soul was about to burst out, and cold sweat kept breaking out all over his body.
At this moment, he felt like he was dancing on the edge of a knife, or as if he was a small boat in the raging sea that could capsize at any time.
