White smoke rose up and quickly attracted Yamazaki Jia's attention, causing her blood to boil.
"Attention all units, attention all units!”
"Please maintain the formation, please maintain the formation!”
"Bombing target! Bombing target! One o'clock northeast! One o'clock northeast!”
"Roger!"
"Roger!"
After the order to bomb was given, Yamazaki Kaiichi changed his direction and flew towards the ambush site of the guards. The other Japanese bomber planes followed closely behind and soon arrived at the ambush site.
Why did the Japanese people rush to the ambush site impatiently when they saw the white smoke?
This was not without reason!
Although the Eighth Route Army did not have an air force, they had experienced a lot and slowly figured out a way to deal with the Japanese bombing.
If it was a battlefield between two armies, they would charge forward. As long as they were entangled with the Japanese army, the Japanese's bomber planes would be useless. After all, they would not bomb their own people.
Normally, if they saw the Japanese bomber appear, they would light up fireworks and use the thick smoke to confuse the Japanese pilots.
As mentioned before, there was no GPS, aircraft radar, satellite positioning, etc. during the Anti-Japanese War.
When the Japanese planes bombed, they mainly relied on their eyes to see. With the firewood lit and the thick smoke enveloping them, no matter how powerful the Japanese planes were, they could not see anyone.
Chen Qi and the others took advantage of this. They didn't know the Japanese's target, but they could use the smoke to attract the Japanese.
As soon as Yamazaki saw the thick smoke rising into the sky, she fell for it. After all, Yanzhou had been bombed dozens of times. The local soldiers and civilians had a wealth of experience in dealing with Japanese bombing. It was usually very difficult to hit people.
Now that they finally saw some people on the ground, they used all their strength to pilot the bomber to the ambush site. They planned to bomb the 8th Route Army on the ground before the smoke completely enveloped them.
Do you think this is an ambush?
Yamazaki laughed. How could an old man like him not know the standards of the 8th Route Army? Not to mention anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons, if they had a heavy machine gun, it would be a regiment-level force. If that was the case, he would be overjoyed. Why would he be afraid?
Ambush? What kind of ambush would they use? Would they rely on that Hanyang guy or a few crooked guys?
What a joke!
Charge! Charge! Charge! He had to charge!
Yamazaki Yoshiichi piloted the bomber and dived down at a low altitude. Just as he was about to drop the bomb, he suddenly saw black dots appear from the ground and shoot towards him.
"Cannons?"
Yamazaki Jia was stunned and could not believe her eyes. Before she could react, the plane she was piloting was hit by a rocket. Then, there was a loud explosion and it exploded instantly. Even the bomber she was piloting was destroyed!
For this ambush, Chen Qi had asked the guards to bring all their assets. There were sixty-seven rocket launchers, and each rocket launcher was equipped with five rockets.
As a result, the Japanese pilots were caught off guard. In just one round of attacks, four out of the 12 bomber planes exploded in the air. Both the planes and the Japanese in the planes were instantly obliterated.
Apart from that, there were five other planes that did not explode, but they were hit by rockets. They fell from the sky like kites with broken strings. The fate of the pilots inside was needless to say.
Although the remaining three had managed to escape, their luck had come to an end. They were all scared silly. Before they could take off, the second round of rocket attacks from the guards had already arrived.
67 rocket launchers against three low-flying bomber planes was simply too easy.
Without any resistance, the three Japanese bomber planes stepped into the backstage of the previous four and disappeared into the sky with three brilliant fireworks.
"Good, good, very good!"
"Twelve bomber planes were destroyed in such a short time. Not a single one escaped.”
"Comrade Chen Qi has really given us a big surprise!”
On Wanhua Mountain, the Bureau Chief was watching the battle from afar with his men. When he saw the Japanese planes being destroyed in less than two minutes after entering the ambush point, he was extremely excited and repeatedly said yes.
With such a weapon, the entire Eighth Route Army would no longer have to fear the Japanese planes.
"Haha, not bad. Let's see how arrogant the Japanese will be in the future!”
"That rocket launcher is a good thing. Not only can it hit tanks and armored vehicles, but it can also hit airplanes. I suggest mass production immediately and equip the entire army as soon as possible so that all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army can learn to use it!”
"Good heavens, 12 bomber planes. This is a squadron of the Japanese. If we lose them here all of a sudden, the Japanese will be heartbroken!”
After the other comrades recovered from their shock, they were also excited and happy as they laughed.
"That's right. The rocket launcher is a good thing. It must be promoted throughout the army!”
"Comrade Chen Qi is also a great talent. One person is equivalent to an entire army!”
Someone commented. Everyone present agreed with his words. After all, Chen Qi's contributions in the past few months in Yanzhou were obvious to all and had received everyone's approval.
After the Bureau Chief heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head in agreement. He turned around and looked at everyone. He smiled and said,"Everyone has seen Comrade Chen Qi's contribution. What do you think of my previous proposal?”
" I have no objections. There's no need to talk about Comrade Chen Qi's ability. He can definitely take on more responsibilities. It's really a waste of talent to only manage the Phoenix Mountain Munitions Factory!”
" That's right. I think that not only can we put the few factories near Yanzhou under the management of Comrade Chen Qi, but we can also put the oil factory and the iron mine under his charge. After all, the efficiency of these units has increased significantly after adopting Comrade Chen Qi's method.”
"I agree too!"
The other leaders of the Eighth Route Army expressed their opinions one after another. They only had one meaning: Chen Qi was fully qualified to be the person in charge of Yanzhou's military management.
The changes in the Phoenix Mountain Munitions Factory were obvious to everyone. Not only had they developed steam engines, gasoline engines, and diesel engines, but they had also developed a production line for guns and ammunition, which had increased the output of the Munitions Factory by more than a few times.
The rocket launchers developed today played an irreplaceable role in the entire war.
With such a meritorious service, not to mention managing the few arsenal factories near Yanzhou, even being responsible for the logistics of all the military supplies of the Eighth Route Army was nothing to scoff at.
If not for Chen Qi's age, someone would have suggested that he manage the entire Eighth Route Army's logistics.
Of course, Chen Qi did not know about the decision of the Eighth Route Army leader. He was currently commanding the workers of the arsenal to pick up the trash.
Although the Japanese plane had been destroyed, the parts that were scattered around were valuable, especially the alloy parts of the bomber. These were things that the arsenal could not produce. If they collected them, they might be able to use them to make some big killing machines.
Apart from the alloy parts, the steel plates of the bomber were also good stuff. If the steel plates of the 12 bomber planes could be recycled, the arsenal could at least make hundreds of guns or rocket launchers.
If you don't take charge, you don't know how expensive rice is!
Ever since he became the manager of the Munitions Factory, Chen Qi finally knew how to spell the word 'poor'.
Therefore, the materials left behind by the twelve bomber planes were not mosquito meat but a real feast. It would be strange if they gave up!
