The devil Tanaka Akira was extremely scared at this time. He was worried that if he wasn't careful he would follow in Nishimura Rokusuke's footsteps.

Fortunately, this plane hesitated for a moment and failed to keep up with the speed of the lead plane, and did not dive low enough, which gave Tanaka Akira some time to react.

Almost by instinct, Tanaka Akira escaped from the crossfire formed by the two anti-aircraft guns.

Tanaka Huang was sweating profusely. He gritted his teeth and quickly moved up to get out of the firing range of the two anti-aircraft guns.

But this does not mean that Tanaka Akira's reconnaissance plane did not suffer any damage in this round of attack. Half of his plane's wing was blown off, and there was even a big hole in the cabin. The plane kept making creaking sounds during the flight.

Tanaka felt his scalp tingling. He was extremely worried that his severely damaged plane would instantly disintegrate in the next second. He doubted whether he could make it to the nearest airport.

All he could do was pray that the locusts in heaven would protect him.

When the second enemy plane struggled to escape the blockade of two anti-aircraft guns, Captain Yang punched the gun barrel in front of him in annoyance and grimaced from the burn.

He forgot that the temperature of the gun barrel after firing hundreds of shells was not something that an ordinary person could withstand with his hands.

"Oh, it was just a little bit off. If we had acted more decisively, we would have shot down the second plane!"

Captain Yang was very upset.

"Captain, don't be upset. If we really shoot down the second plane, Minister Yu will scold us.

I have heard from the comrades of the Independent Regiment that although Minister Yu is an educated man and a college student, his scolding is very harsh. "

An artilleryman nearby reminded.

Captain Yang suddenly came to his senses and slapped his forehead, "Right, right, right, before this ambush, Minister Yu specifically told me that this time we were just practicing and that we could only expose two artillery pieces.

And they asked us to let one plane go so they could bring more planes in."

This time, the ambush position consisting of several anti-aircraft guns was the original base of the Second Battalion, which was some distance away from the regiment headquarters and even farther from the Liaoyuan Arsenal, so there was no risk of being exposed.

Therefore, after Yu Ye, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang made their assessment, they decided to ambush the Japanese twice here.

Now this time is called luring the snake out of its hole.

After Captain Yang realized what was happening, he told the soldiers, "You guys keep on guard and guard against any incoming enemies. I will lead the Ghost Team to search for the Ghost's crashed plane."

In fact, when the first Japanese plane crashed, the soldiers of the Second Battalion who were ambushed in the surrounding mountains and forests were so happy that they almost jumped for joy.

During this period of time, we were under pressure from the Japanese planes, and the regiment had strictly prohibited any counterattacks without reason that would expose our firepower configuration, so we were very angry.

The independent regiment's series of great victories during this period have brought out the unique pride of this team. Being suppressed by the Japanese during this period is a great shame and humiliation for them.

The Japanese finally felt relieved after their plane was blown up.

Even the Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan took off his hat and threw it to the ground after seeing the Japanese plane explode in mid-air: "Damn, I finally vented my anger.

Comrades, come with me to check out the wreckage of the Japanese plane. If there are any surviving Japanese, we must capture them alive!"

Although it was a mountain road, the soldiers were extremely familiar with the area, so they quickly found the wreckage of the Japanese plane.

When the torn bodies of the Japanese soldiers and the wreckage of the plane were carried to the regiment headquarters, Yu Ye was dumbfounded: "Why did you bring the bodies of the Japanese soldiers to me? This thing is disgusting. Just find a place to throw it away."

Captain Yang and Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan were extremely embarrassed. After seeing that they had actually shot down the Japanese plane, they were so happy that they didn't know what to find to display, so they brought back the Japanese corpses and the wreckage of the plane.

"Old Yu is right. You have seen a lot of Japanese corpses recently. You still treat this dirty thing as a rare item."

Li Yunlong also started to criticize these two people.

But despite the jokes, Yu Ye still quite recognized their achievements.

"Captain Yang, it has been proven that our current anti-aircraft guns are still effective in defending against the Japanese air force. Our arsenal is currently stepping up production of a new batch of anti-aircraft guns and more shells.

It’s just that the yield rate of gun barrels is not very high now. This batch of 16 anti-aircraft gun barrels for you were selected from my 40 gun barrels, and the yield rate is only about 40%.

But don't worry, our production speed is constantly accelerating. Please train more artillerymen who can operate anti-aircraft guns skillfully.

Our Liaoyuan Arsenal is open to supplying you with anti-aircraft guns!"

Yu Ye waved his hand and said with great pride.

He had not expected that the twin 25mm anti-aircraft guns he built would work so quickly. Now he was finally no longer under the pressure of the Japanese and he felt relieved.

Zhao Gang reminded, "Old Li, Old Yu, should we report to the brigade commander and the division commander now and tell them the good news that we shot down a plane?"

Yu Ye and Li Yunlong finally reacted and quickly arranged for someone to notify the brigade headquarters.

When the news reached the brigade headquarters, it was already late at night. The brigade commander was so overjoyed when he received the battle report that he almost couldn't control himself and went to knock on the doors of the division commander and the commander, just like he did the second time he bombed Yangmingbao Airport.

Since he was scolded by the commander for doing the same thing last time, although the brigade commander dared to do it again this time, there was no need for him to take the initiative to seek scolding.

The brigade commander took a document that read "The independent regiment built a new anti-aircraft gun. In its first encounter with the enemy, it shot down one enemy plane and damaged one enemy plane" and read it over and over again under the dim kerosene lamp.

For the Eighth Route Army at present, there is simply no good way to deal with planes flying in the sky. Apart from bombing the planes when they are parked at the airport, they can do nothing.

This time, the Japanese plane was shot down in a fair and open battle against the enemy.

This is a rare achievement!

It’s exciting to think about it.

......

When everyone in the Eighth Route Army was feeling extremely excited, the Japanese soldier Tanaka Akira flew his plane, which was already stretched to its limit, and landed in Heyuan County.

Unable to control the direction of flight, Tanaka Akira directly crashed into two houses next to the Japanese barracks and finally stopped.

The moment he stopped in the open space, his reconnaissance plane completely fell apart, burying the guy alive in it.
