"Zero Zero Two Seven, keep your altitude."
"Zero zero three, you've yawed."
"Zero Zero Yaliu, pay attention to the six o'clock direction. There is a UFO approaching you... Sorry, the alarm has been cancelled. It is a group of geese returning from the north."
The communication channel immediately burst into laughter.
Shima Katsuzo was not angry when he misjudged the target. He continued to command the entire squadron in an orderly manner. The twelve Zero fighters maintained a combat formation and continued to fly south.
By the way, in previous battles with the Soviet Air Force, the Zero fighter squadron commanded by Shima Katsuzo achieved extremely impressive results.
The Zero Fighter Squadron was temporarily incorporated into the 5th Flying Regiment directly under the Far Eastern Front. It participated in more than 20 air battles, destroying and damaging more than 100 Soviet fighter planes. However, it was not shot down, and only one was shot down. The tail of a fighter jet was destroyed. After replacing the tail, it immediately returned to normal.
After this battle, the Zero fighter had become a star.
Now almost all newspapers in Japan are reporting on the impressive performance of the Zero Fighter in the Far East Battle. Even the twelve pilots who flew the Zero Fighter including Shima Masaru have become stars, so now the entire Zero Fighter The morale of the squadron was very high.
Including Shima Shengzo himself, the pilots of the entire squadron were gearing up, waiting to give the pilots of the Chahar Independent Regiment Flying Group a blow.
However, what disappoints Shima Shengzo and the others is that they have already passed Siping and are about to reach the sky above Tieling, but they have not encountered even a single fighter from the Chahar Independent Regiment. They were almost all over the Liaodong Plain before. The IL-15 and IL-16 fighter jets suddenly disappeared.
At this time, the communication channel became lively again.
"Captain, I don't think there's any need to go around. Let's go directly to Fengtian."
"Haha, I'm afraid that when we get to Fengtian, we still won't see Chinese fighter jets."
"The Chinese are a bunch of cowards. When they heard that our Zero Battle Squadron had returned, they hid immediately."
"Just hide. Our Zero Combat Squadron is a wandering god of death in the air. Can the Chinese not be afraid?"
"Captain, there is not much fuel left. If we still can't encounter the Chinese fighter jets within half an hour, we will have to return."
Shima Shengzo glanced at Tieling City not far away through the port window, then looked around and found that the surrounding airspace was empty. Not to mention the Chinese planes, not even a bird could be seen. It seemed that Tieling was impossible. Having discovered this, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Okay, let's go directly to Fengtian!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire squadron's communication channel immediately burst into cheers: "Onboard!"
The next moment, the twelve Zero fighter jets accelerated all of a sudden, slicing through the air like sharp swords, roaring straight towards Fengtian in the south.
…
At the same time, inside Fengtian City.
Wang Husheng was leading people to ease the traffic at the north gate. In the past two days, there have been too many supplies and vehicles coming from Siping, Kaiyuan, Tieling and other places, because he had made up his mind from the beginning to fight the Japanese in Fengtian. Therefore, after occupying the towns around Fengtian, all materials that may be used, such as steel plates, wood, wires, etc., were all loaded and transported back.
All these large trucks carrying supplies enter the city through the city gate. In addition, underground fortifications are being built in Fengtian City itself, and the roads are almost all dug out, so it is easy to cause congestion. Of course, as the political commissar of the Chahar Independent Regiment, Wang Husheng has a lot of work to do, and he is only temporarily staying to help.
By the way, the Communist Party’s organizational capabilities are really great.
In this regard, the Kuomintang is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Communist Party!
It has only been five or six days since the Chahar Independent Regiment occupied Fengtian. However, with the efforts of Wang Husheng and a group of political cadres, not only all the factories have resumed production, but the strong labor force in the city has been organized and is intensively carrying out defense in the city. The construction of fortifications, especially the construction of underground tunnel fortifications, is in full swing.
Xu Rui built the fortifications in Fengtian completely in accordance with fortress standards, using a large amount of steel bars and cement.
In a word, the people in Fengtian City and surrounding towns and villages, as long as they are unwilling to be slaves of the subjugated country, have been mobilized. Regardless of men, women, old and young, they have all participated in the construction of fortifications. At this moment, the entire Fengtian The city has turned into a busy construction site.
The cruel and high-pressure rule implemented by the little devils in the three northeastern provinces finally triggered a backlash. Many nearby people did not even need the mobilization of the Communist Party, and took the initiative to give up their yards to store various supplies, even if they were provided by the provisional government. The wages were very small, and they were still willing to participate in the construction of fortifications.
There are reasons why Chinese civilization can last for five thousand years without interruption. The main reason is that whenever faced with a life-and-death crisis, the Chinese people can always unite into a group and unleash powerful force. The people in Fengtian City and surrounding towns Their active participation is the best proof.
Besides, Wang Husheng was directing traffic when a commotion suddenly broke out in front of him.
Wang Husheng immediately took guard Tian Yan to the scene of the accident, only to find that an ox cart transporting coal overturned, knocking down an anti-aircraft gun of the army, and then the anti-aircraft gun fell down and crushed an artilleryman. At this time, the rest of the artillerymen The fellow soldiers were busy rescuing the suppressed artillery soldiers, so the scene was a bit chaotic.
With more people and greater strength, the anti-aircraft gun was quickly lifted up by everyone, and the artilleryman who was pinned underneath was also rescued. Fortunately, it was nothing serious, except for some contusions and bruises on the soft tissue of the leg.
Seeing Wang Husheng approaching, all the artillerymen quickly stood at attention and saluted.
Wang Husheng's eyes fell on the injured artilleryman, and when he discovered that it was Li Dan, he said with concern: "Li Dan, is everything okay?"
Li Dan stood at attention and saluted: "It's okay, it's just a little scratch."
"Is everything okay?" Wang Husheng asked again, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"It's really okay." Li Dan said while patting his legs hard twice.
Seeing that Li Dan was fine, Wang Husheng left with guard Tian Yan.
When Wang Husheng walked away, Li Dan suddenly hissed and took two breaths of cold air. He was indeed fine, but the place where he was pressed still hurt a lot. Those two slaps just now hurt him to death.
An artilleryman next to him asked with concern: "Batalion Commander, are you okay?"
Forgot to mention, Li Dan has been promoted now, because Xu Rui has just established a separate anti-aircraft artillery battalion. Li Dan, the former commander of the first company of the second battalion, is the battalion commander, who is responsible for the establishment of the anti-aircraft artillery and air defense firepower network in Fengtian City. Just now , Li Dan took an artillery platoon to transport a twin anti-aircraft gun to the preset position.
A little hiccup in the middle did not stop the construction of anti-aircraft firepower.
Soon, Li Dan led his people to transport the 30mm caliber twin anti-aircraft guns to the north city gate and installed them under the wall on the right side of the city gate building. This location was specially chosen by Li Dan. Although the shooting range was not very wide, it was The thick city walls can be used to block the Japanese attack dive bombing, at least the little Japanese cannot dive bomb from outside the city.
As for the issue of firing range, the killing principle of anti-aircraft guns is originally range killing, not precision killing, so whether the firing range is wide is not a problem. Anyway, most of the time, anti-aircraft guns will only fire intermittently in one direction, not like anti-aircraft guns. Like machine guns, the plane chasing the Japanese fired continuously.
After the installation of the anti-aircraft guns was completed, Li Dan excitedly climbed to the top of the city and observed the anti-aircraft gun positions from a high position. However, he saw six anti-aircraft guns spread out along the base of the north city wall. Their long and straight barrels were as straight as standard Huai. Of course, this is only what appears in the field of vision. In the streets and alleys that cannot be seen in the city, and at the base of the city walls in the other three directions, there are no less than a hundred anti-aircraft guns of different calibers and specifications hidden.
Moreover, in addition to more than a hundred anti-aircraft guns, there are also 300 anti-aircraft machine guns!
In order to make the sky above Fengtian City a no-fly zone, Xu Rui really spent a lot of money this time. Because the number of anti-aircraft machine guns was not enough, he even removed the machine guns on the T-34B tanks of the tank battalion. All in all, the density of air defense firepower in Fengtian City has now reached an extremely terrifying level!
While Li Dan was admiring his masterpiece, a shrill air-raid siren suddenly sounded from the city gate building behind him.
"Huh?" Li Dan's expression suddenly became serious. When he turned his head to look around, he saw a dozen Japanese planes with plaster patterns on their wings already piercing through the clouds in the northeast. Judging from the model and size of the planes, they should be fighter jets. Or a reconnaissance plane, and there were no aerial bombs mounted under the belly of the plane, so I was relieved immediately.
But the next moment, a fierce light flashed across Li Dan's eyes.
Li Dan immediately went downstairs in three steps and two steps at a time, quickly entered the gun position, adjusted the shooting angle and ordered to reload.
Almost at the same time, six other anti-aircraft guns under the North City Wall and dozens of other anti-aircraft guns hidden in the North City District were also ready to fire.
After getting ready, Li Dan raised his head and stared at the city gate building for a moment.
At a certain moment, more than a dozen Japanese reconnaissance planes flashed out from above the city gate tower like sharp swords. The speed was quite fast, and Li Dan pressed the launch button of the twin anti-aircraft guns without hesitation. Turning around, seeing that Li Dan had fired his cannon, the flag soldiers guarding the tower immediately waved the red triangular flag.
The next moment, six other anti-aircraft guns under the wall and the anti-aircraft guns hidden in Beicheng District fired at the same time. More than fifty rounds of artillery shells were launched into the air at the same time, and then exploded in the air, forming a large and dense three-dimensional barrage. A dozen Japanese reconnaissance planes roared over and were immediately enveloped in it.
Immediately afterwards, anti-aircraft machine guns also opened fire fiercely.
