Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

In the air near the nine Japanese planes, two or three hundred proximity fuses exploded one after another, like flowers scattered by fairies from heaven, weaving a dense net of destruction in front of the Japanese.

In order to reduce the weight as much as possible, the Japanese aircraft would like to use wood as the truss and then cover it with iron sheets. Although it is not so exaggerated, the actual protective effect may be just like this.

Under such dense shrapnel attacks, the nine Japanese bombers were almost defenseless.

Countless shrapnel penetrated the skin of the Japanese plane, many shrapnel shattered the plane's glass, and some shrapnel tore open the Japanese's body. The entire cockpit was filled with blood foam.

In full view of both sides, these nine Japanese bombers were riddled with shrapnel. Two of the Japanese planes were unlucky as the shrapnel happened to hit the bombs in the ammunition bays, causing them to explode on the spot and the entire planes were blown to pieces.

The remaining seven planes were not much better off. After being hit by the shells, they instantly lost control and plummeted towards the depths of the mountains. It was not until much further away that the extremely terrifying explosion was heard.

Yoshio Shinozuka saw the tragic condition of the Locust Army's planes very clearly through a telescope in his front-line command post. He was also very troubled because he did not expect that just a single encounter would result in nine Locust Army planes being destroyed in an instant.

Faced with such a result, Yoshio Shinozuka's paws went numb for a moment, and a huge pressure instantly enveloped him.

Not only it, Prince Asaka Naruhiko and Ningji Okamura at the headquarters of the First Army of the North China Expeditionary Army also felt their scalps tingling. Originally, they had expected that this round of bombing could at least turn the situation around and make the independent regiment outside the city less arrogant.

But they never expected that they would be destroyed on the spot before even a single bomb was dropped. What should they do?

As a veteran Japanese officer, Yoshio Shinozuka knew that he must not be cowardly at this time. Even if he was defeated, he had to show his momentum, otherwise the morale of the Locust Army would plummet and it would be detrimental to subsequent operations.

So, it gritted its teeth and shouted, "Notify the flight squadron, send the second wave of bombers. This time, let the reconnaissance planes and fighter planes take the lead and cover the bombers' bombing!"

Although he knew that such an operation might result in heavy losses, Yoshio Shinozuka had no choice but to let these reconnaissance planes and fighter planes take the lead, using their crashes to provide opportunities for the bombers behind.

When the reconnaissance planes approached, they were no different from the previous nine bombers. They were torn into pieces by proximity fuses in mid-air or turned into a hornet's nest on the spot.

All these scenes of battle results were displayed in front of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment. In the previous few years, when facing the Japanese planes, they felt that it was difficult to defeat them. But now, under the anti-aircraft guns of the Independent Regiment, they were completely unable to fight back. All the frustration in their hearts was instantly relieved.

Li Yunlong was tracking the Japanese planes with a telescope in the temporary shelter. Although he shot down 9 Japanese bombers in the first wave and 3 reconnaissance planes in the second wave, Li's face did not relax at all. Instead, it became more serious, because he knew that there were definitely more than these two waves of Japanese planes in Taiyuan City.

The soldier in charge of telegraphs beside Lao Li was almost pressing his hands until they started smoking, and his speed was so fast that it left a series of afterimages.

"Captain, I have already observed the location of the Japanese airport. I just asked the communicator to send the coordinates to the comrades operating the heavy artillery in the rear. Should we launch an attack on the Japanese airport?"

"Do you even need to ask this? Just blast him!"

Li Yunlong said angrily.

After the second wave of three Japanese reconnaissance planes were shot down, the second wave of nine bombers had already reached the edge of the independent regiment's position and had even begun to dive, ready to drop bombs at any time.

The Japanese bombers were still unable to carry out accurate bombing at this time, but their preferred target was still the location of the heavy artillery.

These Japanese soldiers were really ruthless. They did not choose to blow up the anti-aircraft artillery cluster first, but chose to blow up the heavy artillery instead. It was obvious that they were planning to use bombers to exchange for the heavy artillery of the independent regiment.

After shooting down the second wave of reconnaissance planes, the soldiers of the independent regiment operating the anti-aircraft guns instantly pulled the gun barrels and chased the second wave of nine bombers in the sky. It was an extremely thrilling battle, and every second would affect the outcome of the battle.

The artillery soldiers of the independent regiment who were operating the heavy artillery below heard the Japanese planes getting closer and closer and their noises getting louder and louder. Their hearts were shrouded in a haze. Almost all the soldiers operating the heavy artillery were facing the test of death.

Perhaps in the next moment, tons of shells will be dropped around them and blow them to pieces.

However, these artillery soldiers of the independent regiment knew that they could not retreat. If they failed to blow up the Japanese airport according to the address just sent by the surveying personnel at the front, then more planes would take off, and then more comrades of the independent regiment would die in the Japanese bombing, so they could not retreat at all.

Even if countless bombs would blow them to pieces in the next moment, they could not retreat a single step before the shells were fired. Their only choice was to leave their backs to their comrades.

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!

Four 4mm howitzer shells were fired almost at the same time. After the shells were fired, the soldiers operating the heavy artillery did not pay attention to whether their shells hit the target or not. They immediately opened the breech block to load the next round, and then fired the second wave of shells at the fastest speed.

When loading the third wave of shells, the soldiers in charge of the anti-aircraft guns poured out a series of shells, which exploded around the plane almost at the moment the Japanese bomber opened its ammunition bay.

Countless shrapnel penetrated the bombers again. The shells that were about to be dropped were hit in the ammunition bay. The explosion of the bombs in the ammunition bay caused a chain reaction, and 9 planes exploded one after another.

The nine exploded planes formed the most spectacular fireworks in the sky. It was a pity that it was not at night, otherwise the soldiers of the independent regiment would have witnessed an even more spectacular sight.

A total of 12 155 heavy artillery shells in three waves roared towards the airport in Taiyuan City. The fourth wave of Japanese planes was just about to take off when they were hit head-on by the first wave of shells.

The first wave of four shells directly penetrated a Japanese plane and then exploded on the ground. The blast generated by the explosion blew away several nearby planes.

The other three shells landed on the Japanese runway. A huge explosion sounded, raising rubble and soil all over the sky, and leaving behind a large hole on the ground.

The runway of the Japanese airport was completely destroyed.

This was just the first wave of heavy artillery bombardment, and the second and third rounds of shells followed one after another.

Due to the lack of precise calibration, the dispersion of the shells was somewhat shocking, but this was a more terrifying thing for the Japanese. The planes in the hangar and the fuel depot in the distance were all in danger.
