Three hours before the battle began.
In the command center of the new division.
"Commander, a new troop has arrived at Shanhaiguan. The commander said that they are here to reinforce us.”
Huang Huanran frowned.
Reinforcements? Wasn't it already deployed? And he didn't ask for help from the headquarters.
"What troops?"
The officer's face did not lose its joy." Reporting to the division commander. It's an anti-aircraft artillery regiment. This is the name list."”
Huang Huanran stood up abruptly and took the name list from the officer.
"Anti-aircraft artillery regiment? Haha, this anti-aircraft artillery regiment came at the right time. Tell them to immediately choose a place to spread out and hide. If the Japanese army can't attack the position, they will definitely send planes to bomb.”
Although the regiment had an anti-air battalion, they were all equipped with single-barrel, double-barrel, and four-barrel 12.7mm machine guns.
It was a little weak in terms of air defense.
However, the anti-aircraft artillery regiment that came this time was not ordinary. They were all big guys.
Zhang Xueming had signed in for this anti-aircraft artillery regiment in the early hours of the morning.
It was a standard German Artillery Regiment.
It had three artillery battalions, a searchlight company, and a transport company.
Each anti-aircraft artillery battalion was equipped with Flak36/37 88mm anti-aircraft guns.
It was the so-called all-purpose 88 anti-aircraft gun. It could not only defend against air, but it could also hit tanks.
This anti-aircraft artillery regiment was equipped with a total of 54 Type 88 anti-aircraft guns.
Using this thing to deal with the current Japanese Army aircraft was like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
Therefore, when Huang Huanran saw the strange behavior of the Japanese's first wave of attacks suddenly retreating, he had a hunch that the next wave of attacks might be accompanied by Japanese air firepower.
"Get the anti-aircraft artillery regiment and anti-air battalion ready. The Japanese planes are coming.”
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, more than ten black spots appeared in the sky.
12 Kawasaki 87 Bombers belonging to the Second Independent Flying Squadron of the Kwantung Army appeared in the sky above the battlefield.
The modified bomber had a maximum speed of 180 kilometers per hour, a range of 660 kilometers, and a bomb load of 1000 kilograms.
Looking at the approaching bomber planes, the Japanese army launched a second wave of attacks.
The Second Artillery Squadron, which had already lost three cannons, began to roar again.
Perhaps it was because of the arrival of air support, but their cannoneers were even more energetic than before, and their firing speed had increased by a notch.
In their eyes, the Chinese Artillery Corps was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. They wouldn't be able to jump around for long. Victory still belonged to them.
"Kill, give, give!"
The 76th regiment, which was full of morale, launched an attack under the cover of artillery fire.
After learning from the 73rd Regiment's previous experience, their troops were more dispersed, which could avoid casualties from the bombardment to the greatest extent.
"Regiment Commander, the Japanese planes are here. Should we ask the artillery to move and hide?”
The regiment commander shook his head and said calmly," No need. Let them continue to suppress the Japanese artillery fire according to the original plan. Someone will take care of the Japanese planes."”
The Japanese's Type 87 Bombers were very slow. When the fierce battle broke out again, they had just arrived above the camp.
"Why is the firepower of this group of Chinese people so fierce?”
When the bomber squadron saw the difference in firepower between the two sides, they could not help but be shocked.
However, they did not take it seriously.
Under the fierce ground firepower, their bombs would turn into a pile of spare parts.
"Lower the altitude. This time, we brought small bombs to increase the accuracy of the bombing.”
The pilot plane took the lead and lowered its altitude. At this moment, it was only about 2000 meters above the ground.
At this height, even an anti-aircraft machine gun would not pose much of a threat to them.
Just as the Japanese bomber fleet was preparing to drop the bombs.
The anti-aircraft artillery regiment on the ground lifted the white canvas covering the 88 cannon.
The black muzzles were aimed at the sky.
At an altitude of 2000 meters, the Type 87 Bomber, which had a maximum speed of 180 kilometers per hour, was no different from a target in their eyes. In fact, it was even slower than a target.
Not to mention, it was a big target like the bomber.
"Shoot."
The 54 88mm anti-aircraft guns began firing in unison.
One by one, artillery shells whizzed out of the barrels and enveloped the 12 Japanese bomber planes.
Suddenly, among the Japanese bomber group, shells with time-delay fuzes exploded.
In an instant, a Type 87 Bomber was hit by two shells, one of which hit the left wing.
Before the bomber could drop its bomb, it fell to the ground, emitting thick smoke.
"Anti-aircraft cannons, they actually have large-caliber anti-aircraft cannons.”
The Japanese bomber squadron panicked when they felt the shaking of the airship due to the explosion.
In less than ten seconds, two Type 87 Bombers were hit and fell.
Right now, the Japanese's flight team could not care too much. They hurriedly dropped the bombs in the magazine and began to pull up to avoid them.
Many of the bomber planes directly threw bombs at their own people.
This scene stunned Kimura Buntaro.
"Nani? This was impossible, this was absolutely impossible! Where would a Chinese get an anti-aircraft gun?"
Seeing the fourth bomber crash, Kimura Buntaro's heart bled.
He knew that Lu Hang had probably lost this time. The next battle would depend on them.
At this moment, the 2nd Aerial Unit couldn't even protect themselves, so they couldn't care less about supporting the ground.
After losing the threat from the air, the pressure on the ball was greatly reduced.
The concentrated firepower continued to reap the lives of the Japanese army.
Their charge seemed powerless in the face of such fierce firepower.
