    Chapter 717: Bombing Nanjing (3)

    In the underground shelter of the Air Defense Command, the bright spots representing Japanese aircraft became increasingly clear on the radar screen. All the communications staff, holding the microphones tightly, stared at Tang Qiuli. However, Tang Qiuli did not give the order to all fire. Shen  The voice said: "Firepower points from high places in the eastern defense zone opened fire, knocking out the Japanese leader's aircraft, and other artillery groups continued to stand by. (_-< Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work >-)"

    This was an obvious tactic of catching the thief first, because on the radar screen, a Japanese aircraft was far ahead of the fleet. It entered the bombing position without waiting for the other Japanese aircraft to deploy. It looked as arrogant as if it was in an uninhabited land.  , Tang Qiuli could tell at a glance that this was a Japanese army leader's plan, and killing this arrogant little devil would help him get some luck.

    The Japanese navy's aircraft fleet bombing Nanjing was so arrogant that there were more than 180 aircraft and only 30 fighter jets escorted them. Tsuki Eigoro's bombers had already set the target in the sights, and the bombardiers had a sinister smile on their lips.  , the target became clearer and clearer, the fuselage trembled slightly, and the two heavy bombs separated from the fuselage and fell towards the target.

    "It's very unchallenging. It's like a tall and strong man dealing with a five-year-old child." Tsuki Eigoro curled his lips disdainfully, and was about to climb up and drop the bomb again. Suddenly, on the roof of the building below, something appeared.  Out of Venus, tongues of flames flew towards each other. The bomber's fuselage made a soft sound, followed by violent tremors. A black smoke came out and filled the cabin instantly. Tsuki Eigoro was shocked. Oh no, the plane was hit.

    However, he was not too panicked yet. Based on experience, he judged that this was an infantry heavy weapon shooting into the air. The Chinese did not have specialized anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft machine guns. With their rich experience, they drove the less seriously damaged aircraft back to the aircraft carrier.  It wasn't a problem. He thought wrongly. The anti-aircraft firepower on the ground had no intention of letting him escape alive. A rain of bullets that was more than twice as violent as before suddenly came over him.

    Tsuki Eigoro's chest was penetrated by two heavy machine gun bullets. His last consciousness was full of unwillingness and doubts. He wanted to warn the fleet, but was unable to do so. He could no longer make a sound, and the bomber fell down whiningly.  , The rain of bullets refused to let go, and the fire whipped on the fuselage. A black firework exploded in the air, and the broken fuselage collapsed. The captain of the first wing of the Japanese Naval Air Force, captain of the first wing, Jin  Air Force Commander Ki Eigoro died in the sky over Nanjing, becoming the first Japanese air commander to lose his wing in the brutal Nanjing air defense battle.

    This just happened in an instant. It was too sudden. All the Japanese pilots were stunned. They had just flown over the target and before they started dropping bombs, the leader was shattered into pieces. This was so unexpected. With the first Japanese bomber  The volley explosion sounded the clarion call for the Nanjing air defense war. The city of Nanjing, which had been deathly silent just now, suddenly came to life. Following Tang Qiuli's order, sparks erupted everywhere in the city.

    All the fixed anti-aircraft firepower points were firing fiercely. The careless Japanese bombers were like crows falling into the flames of shells and bullets. One after another they exploded into fireworks that filled the sky. The anti-aircraft firepower on the ground was so  Dense, like a layer of meticulous metal fire net, covering from the ground to the air.

    In the first round of shooting, dozens of Japanese bombers were shot down. The Japanese fighter pilots, who were hovering at high altitudes on alert, panicked and hurriedly followed the escort orders and, under the leadership of the commander, swooped down from high altitudes, preparing to destroy the ground.  The anti-aircraft firepower point eliminated the threat to the bombers. The Japanese fighter pilots considered the problem too simply. As soon as they entered low altitude, they were immediately greeted by a dense fire net, and it was impossible to escape.

    Japanese fighter commander Major Kuroki Nakazawa regretted so much that he wanted to slap himself in the mouth. This was almost like throwing himself into a trap. Why did he pretend to be a hero? He looked around in a hurry and saw that the fighter jets had been beaten up by shells and bullets flying all over the sky.  Out of formation, one fighter to the east and one to the west were scurrying all over the sky. They could only use the light speed of the fighter jets to avoid the deadly shells and bullets. In this moment of distraction, little sparks appeared on the wings of his own plane.  His body was shaking violently, "Baga, you cunning Chinese," the Japanese fighter commander cursed viciously.

    He tried hard to adjust the balance of the plane, trying to get out of the fire net and lower the flying altitude. He cunningly wanted to use the tactic of low-altitude sneak attack to knock out several nasty Chinese anti-aircraft fire points, open an escape channel for the fleet, and turned around a high-rise building.  In the tall building, Kuroki Nakazawa's eyes suddenly cramped violently, and his mouth opened wide enough to stuff a goose egg. Several heavy machine guns with black muzzles pointed at the sky suddenly appeared in front of him. The muzzles of the guns at a close distance were almost touching him.  on the fuselage.

    Kuroki Nakazawa desperately pulled the joystick, climbed higher, climbed higher, and escaped from the terrifying gun. This was his only thought. His hands and feet were so scared that he wanted to cover the bomber. It was His Majesty the Emperor's divine blessing that he would not turn into a roast chicken.  It's a good idea, the plane also passed over the firepower point, but unfortunatelyFortunately, a heavy machine gun forced his plane to open fire, and a string of bullets entered his fighter jet from the tail. Kuroki Nakazawa didn't even have time to exclaim, and the little birds instantly turned into clouds all over the sky.  fragments.

    Wang Genbao, sergeant of the heavy machine gun company of the Second Regiment of the 38th Division of the Army and the main heavy machine gun shooter, wiped his nose habitually, put down his hand on the trigger, looked at the black smoke gradually dissipating in the air, and smiled with a simple "hehe".  He took out his cigarette bag, leaned against the sandbag fortification, and started smoking happily, looking quite enjoying it.

    The two deputy shooters were busy pressing the bullet belts, while looking at Wang Genbao with admiration and envy. The fire chief also came over, patted him on the shoulder, and extended his thumb, "Genbao, good job, kill the little guy."  The Japanese have two planes." He was praising in his tone, with obvious jealousy. This guy is usually so weak that he can't even produce half a fart under a shoulder pole. He was unlucky. Less than twenty minutes after the battle started, he lost one after another.  If you succeed, report it, and you won't be able to escape if you make meritorious deeds and receive awards.

    It's strange, because he was very agile with his hands and feet. He fired several times and didn't even hit the edge of the Japs' plane. The fire chief shook his head while searching the sky with wide eyes, thinking unconvincingly: "I am also a commander after all."  , If you don¡¯t shoot down a little Japanese plane, where will you save your face?¡±

    Wang Genbao's anti-air firepower point has a total of five heavy machine guns. It is located on the top of the Nanjing Central Bank building. It is almost the commanding heights in Nanjing. It can overlook the whole city. Since entering the battle position, Wang Genbao has not been idle.  Although he is usually taciturn, he is a very talented person. In terms of crane gun shooting ability, he is among the top three in the whole group. He usually likes to ponder some truths.

    This heavy machine gun¡¯s air-to-air shooting is definitely different from usual ones. Besides, how can the plane shoot accurately with such a fast speed?  After working hard for two or three days, I actually figured out a set of home-made tools. I added a hand-made sight in front of the heavy machine gun and marked out squares. Then I practiced repeatedly by pointing at the birds in the sky, regardless of the firepower.  After long and other companions' ridicule, he practiced hard until his eyes were sore, and finally figured out a set of rules. Tested in actual combat, the effect was obvious. It was two little devils' planes that shot him. He certainly did not expect that the one he just shot down  The fighter is none other than Japanese fighter commander Kuroki Nakazawa.

    More than thirty minutes later, there were more than 150 Japanese bombers and 30 fighter jets. There were only thirty or forty aircraft left in the air, and there were still more than a dozen of them puffing out black smoke.  It could not be sustained for much longer. Due to carelessness and arrogance, the Japanese aircraft fleet suffered heavy losses from the beginning. In addition, at the beginning of the battle, the bomber commander and fighter commander were the first to be shot down one after another. The Japanese aircraft, which lost their command, were in chaos.  The position cannot form a unified attack echelon, and can only be passively beaten.

    Compared with the number of Japanese aircraft, Tang Qiuli prepared anti-aircraft firepower to deal with 400 aircraft sorties. As a result, only half of the Japanese aircraft came. Such dense and fierce anti-aircraft firepower could only be used by these Japanese troops.  The planes endured it. The sky above Nanjing was full of exploding smoke and fragments of shrapnel, roaring and flying around, cutting all objects they could encounter. Anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine gun bullets spit tongues of fire into the sky. The Japanese army  The planes were flying in that direction with deadly firepower.

    An hour later, more than two dozen Japanese aircraft fled over Nanjing in panic. Most of them were fighter jets. The anti-aircraft firepower also stopped shooting. The violent city of Nanjing finally calmed down. In the sky, black smoke was like a layer of clouds.  The bright sunshine in June covering the south of the Yangtze River made people feel that it was a cloudy weather. The bombs dropped by the Japanese bombers in a hurry ignited several fires, which were quickly extinguished.

    Tang Qiuli sat down heavily on the chair, closed his eyes, and a wave of fatigue hit his heart. Just now, he put all his energy on commanding the air combat. It felt like it was more troublesome than going into battle in person. He fought well in the first battle.  The Japanese left at least 156 aircraft, and they did not know the casualties of the troops and the loss of weapons and equipment. This was just the beginning. After a while, he opened his eyes and ordered: "Commanders in each region, take all  Send the wounded to a safe place for treatment, immediately count the casualties and weapon losses, and quickly replenish ammunition to prepare for the next round of battle."

    The situation was quickly summarized. One hundred and twenty-seven soldiers were killed, more than 400 were wounded, 11 anti-aircraft guns were destroyed, and 26 anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns were destroyed. Judging from the losses, with such few casualties,  , and equipment were damaged, and more than a hundred Japanese aircraft were shot down, which can be said to be a brilliant result.

    In any anti-air combat, ground firepower always suffers. In the first Nanjing air defense battle, such results were inseparable from Tang Qiuli's careful arrangements before the war, as well as the combat effectiveness of the Huangyadong Air Defense Brigade of the Army Division and the temporary  Equipping a large number of air defense radars is directly related.

    Tang Qiuli put down the loss report and ordered the communications staff, "Send a report to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Wuhan to inform the results of today's first round of air combat."The old man took some reassurance, which gave him enough confidence. After thinking about it for a moment, he added: "Report the loss situation, plus twice the figure," the communications staff officer was confused. Looking at the division commander's face, he didn't know.  Dare to ask more questions.

    At this moment, an outside phone on the table rang rapidly.
