Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

About an hour later, a roar was heard in the sky. When the Japanese soldiers heard it, they immediately cheered. In the minds of these Japanese soldiers, as long as their planes arrived, all problems would be solved.

Seeing this, we did not panic at all. The soldiers of the defense company acted quickly and poured kerosene on the firewood pile. Then the whole position was filled with thick smoke.

The Japanese infantry were also confused by this situation. There was a breeze blowing at this time, and thick smoke was blowing towards them, choking the enemy to death.

When the Japanese planes arrived, their pilots saw the thick fog below and were speechless. How could they complete the mission successfully under such circumstances?

You know, aerial bombs and aviation gasoline are extremely precious. In this situation, if they just drop the bombs indiscriminately without achieving any results, they will probably be severely punished when they return.

Suddenly, the Japanese flight squadron leader discovered an area behind our position. Although it was also covered by thick smoke, it was still possible to see from the sky that it should be an artillery position.

Upon seeing this, Captain Ozawa was overjoyed and immediately led four bombers towards that place. In order to increase the hit rate of the bombs, the Japanese pilots even deliberately lowered the altitude of the planes.

When the New Second Regiment saw the Japanese planes attacking their positions, they also became very panicked, with many people running around, as if a disaster was about to happen.

When the Japanese planes descended to a certain altitude and prepared to drop bombs, the air waves generated by the aircraft engines even blew away the surrounding smoke, revealing the shapes of various artillery pieces on the artillery positions.

Although the Japanese pilots were also very puzzled, as the intelligence they obtained before departure showed that this was just a regimental combat unit of the Eighth Route Army and that there should not have been so many artillery pieces, they did not have time to think too much about it as this was a great military achievement.

Once this artillery position is destroyed, great military merit will be achieved, which is what the Japanese pilots dream of.

So in order to increase the hit rate of the bombs, they lowered the bombing altitude to a very low level, just to take advantage of the fact that our troops did not have anti-aircraft weapons.

For a moment, our artillery positions were engulfed in flames. The powerful aerial bombs fell to the ground and even blew the artillery below into the air.

Just when the Japanese pilots were proudly thinking that they had destroyed our artillery positions, suddenly from all around, six anti-aircraft machine guns and sixteen heavy machine guns that had been modified to fire at the sky opened fire.

One of the enemy bombers did not anticipate that we had anti-aircraft machine guns, and there were so many of them, so it was unable to dodge and was directly hit by dozens of large-caliber machine gun bullets, crashing into an open space nearby with thick smoke.

Two more were damaged and their wings were smoking, which scared the Japanese pilots. The remaining three bombers and one fighter quickly gained altitude and got out of the range of our anti-aircraft machine guns.

It was not until this time that the Japanese realized that their target was not the kind of troops that could only take a beating and not fight back. Fortunately, the mission had been completed and they could report back after returning.

As for the loss of a bomber and the destruction of an artillery regiment's artillery, whether this deal is worthwhile or not will have to be judged by the higher-ups.

When Kong Jie saw the Japanese plane fly away, he immediately felt relieved. At the same time, he was also happy that the anti-aircraft unit had won the first battle and shot down an enemy bomber, which was a great achievement in any army.

After this battle, the Japanese planes will definitely not come here again in the short term, which can be regarded as solving a big problem for our troops.

In fact, this plan was also a trap set by Li Yunlong for the Japanese planes based on the current actual situation of our troops. The purpose was to hurt the enemy so that the enemy would not dare to bomb our positions wantonly.

As long as the Japanese don't understand the number of our anti-aircraft weapons, even if they want to bomb again in subsequent battles, they will probably be afraid and can only choose high-altitude bombing, which will be much less effective.

As for the artillery positions blown up by the Japanese, the artillery inside were actually just fake ones. Kong Hao specially asked the arsenal to produce them. They were made of wood and stone inside and covered with a layer of iron sheet. The iron sheet was also smelted in a small workshop.

Not to mention that nothing abnormal can be seen from high altitude, even if you observe closely with a telescope, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find the flaws in a short time. After all, the artillery we produce has special wheels to pull it, and it is also covered with steel on the outside. The wood and stone inside are also quite heavy, and the size is almost a one-to-one replica.

If you want to put on a show, you have to do it completely. There will be many opportunities to use this fake artillery in the future. If it is made entirely of wood, it will be easy for the Japanese intelligence personnel to discover the clues.

In response to this situation, Kong Hao set up a special department called the Military Camouflage Department, which is responsible for researching various camouflage techniques.

Artillery position camouflage is only one branch of it. In fact, the most important thing is to camouflage the entire industrial area. This is the top priority. However, the workload is too large, and only a small part has been completed so far.

At the beginning, the Japanese soldiers were cheering with guns in their hands. After all, the planes in the sky were their most powerful attack force. As long as the planes were dispatched, it would be a serious blow to the morale of both sides.

Although Kong Jie had mobilized the soldiers of the New Second Regiment in advance and explained the various measures the troops should take against enemy aircraft, he also assured everyone that there would not be any major problems.

But when the soldiers actually saw the planes roaring across the sky, most of the new recruits, except for the veterans, were so frightened that they turned pale and their legs were trembling. Some of them even collapsed on the battlefield.

The main problem with airplanes is that no one has ever seen them before. Every time the enemy takes action, they cause heavy casualties. They are even more terrifying than the Japanese tanks. The most important thing is that our weapons are difficult to reach.

But when everyone saw that our air defense forces actually shot down a Japanese plane, no matter whether it was a bomber or a fighter, it didn't matter. Even if we poked the enemy plane down with a bamboo pole, it was still our ability.

Then it was our soldiers' turn to cheer. It was not easy, it was really not easy. We finally got rid of the anger that we had been holding in our hearts. Now let's see if the Japanese devils on the opposite side can still be so arrogant.

As expected, when the Japanese soldiers of the Shuitian Regiment saw that one of their proud bombers was shot down and the rest fled in panic, dropping their bombs indiscriminately, the morale of the entire unit immediately fell to the bottom.

Especially Captain Shuitian, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, which made people scared at first sight.

The plane was his trump card, and the basis for him to break through the New Second Regiment today, but now it was easily resolved by the opponent.

However, he had already reacted by then. While sending a telegram to his superiors requesting tactical guidance, he was also preparing to launch another attack. If he still failed to capture the city, he would have no choice but to retreat.

He could no longer take care of other places for the time being. Now he only had to defend the county town, which was the material transfer center. As for the rest, Commander Shinozuka would surely find a way to send troops to rescue them.
