Chapter 261: Intensive anti-aircraft firepower, repelling the Japanese air force
Pingan County.
The independent column was set up in an outer observation post in the mountains.
A squad of seven soldiers were conducting daily training outside the outpost.
There are dozens of outposts like this in the entire base.
These outposts are cleverly set up in the mountains and are very secretive, as if they were eyes hidden in the forests.
Their main task was to observe the sky to prevent Japanese planes from suddenly bombing the base.
Since there was no radar, this method was the only way to ensure that the base could detect the Japanese aircraft in the shortest time possible.
No matter from which direction the Japanese planes entered the base, they would be discovered by the outposts, thus buying the air defense forces 10 minutes of precious time to organize air defense firepower.
A soldier in the outpost suddenly noticed a group of small black dots appearing in the distant sky, and his eyes instantly became alert.
He immediately picked up the telescope and looked up at the sky, only to see dozens of Japanese planes flying quickly in the sky, heading towards the base.
A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, and he immediately shouted: "Squad leader, it's not good.
We spotted Japanese planes in the sky, they are flying towards the base area."
When the squad leader heard this, he immediately looked up and saw dozens of small black dots in the sky.
His face instantly became solemn, and he quickly ran to the sentry post, picked up the radio and contacted the air defense forces.
"Air Defense Battalion, Air Defense Battalion.
This is observation post No. 3. We have discovered a formation of Japanese aircraft flying towards our base. Please sound the air defense alarm immediately." The squad leader shouted anxiously.
"Air defense brigade received, sound the air defense alarm immediately."
There came a response over the radio.
After the call ended, a shrill air defense alarm suddenly sounded above the Lijiazhuang base.
The sharp sound seemed to announce the coming of danger to everyone.
As soon as all the soldiers heard the air raid alarm, they led the crowd to the air raid shelter.
Everyone immediately put down their work and began to organize people to enter the air-raid shelter.
When Gundam heard the air raid alarm, his face changed drastically and he rushed out of the command center without hesitation.
He quickly gave orders to the guards: "Go and collect the important information!"
at the same time.
Qi Tongwei ran into the headquarters anxiously, found Gaoda, and said anxiously: "Commander, we have to go to the air-raid shelter quickly!
The Japanese planes are flying towards Lijiazhuang."
Gaoda frowned and responded seriously: "Political Commissar, the Japanese planes attacked on such a large scale this time, they must have discovered some important target."
Suddenly, he realized the problem and said anxiously: "Oh no, the Japanese are likely to bomb the power plant."
After saying that, Gundam immediately rushed into the command center, picked up the phone and called the guard regiment.
The call was quickly connected, and Gao Da shouted into the microphone: "Captain Gao, according to my judgment, the target of the Japanese aircraft this time is most likely the power plant in Yelang Mountain.
You must immediately organize personnel and deploy all anti-aircraft guns to ensure the safety of the power plant."
"Yes, Commander!"
Captain Gao answered firmly on the other end of the phone.

Wild Wolf Mountain air defense position.
As the alarm sounded, the soldiers rushed to their respective posts as quickly as the wind.
They skillfully removed the camouflage covering the anti-aircraft guns, revealing the black muzzles, ready for the upcoming battle.
Some soldiers are responsible for making precise adjustments to the anti-aircraft guns to ensure that each gun can exert its maximum power.
Most of the soldiers quickly ran to the nearby cave and carried out boxes of artillery shells stored there, making full preparations for the fierce battle that was about to begin.
"Comrades, speed up!" a company commander shouted loudly.
He knew that time was running out and enemy planes could attack at any time.
"We must not let the Japanese planes destroy our thermal power generation facilities!"
at the same time.
The observers stared at the sky intently, trying to find any trace of enemy aircraft.
The company commanders at the air defense positions were also quickly issuing combat orders, directing the soldiers to act in an orderly manner.
The various arms work closely together to form an efficient fighting entity.
They completed the deployment of the air defense positions as quickly as possible.
Near Wild Wolf Mountain, the independent column carefully arranged nearly 8 anti-aircraft positions, each equipped with 40 anti-aircraft guns.
These anti-aircraft guns formed a solid line of defense, sufficient to provide comprehensive fire coverage over the entire Wild Wolf Mountain.
It was basically impossible for the Japanese planes to fly through the dense anti-aircraft fire network.
..............
After 5 minutes.
All anti-aircraft firepower around Wild Wolf Mountain was ready, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese planes.
The soldiers were on high alert, staring at the sky nervously, ready to attack any Japanese planes they spotted.
The observer is constantly watching the movements in the sky.
Suddenly, an observer shouted: "We have spotted a Japanese flying formation in the southeast, they are flying towards us."
All air defense forces observed the Japanese aircraft at the first moment.
The company commanders shouted, "Comrades, we have spotted a Japanese flying formation in the southeast. Everyone, get ready. Once the Japanese planes are within range, open fire immediately."
The Japanese flying formation in the sky was flying rapidly towards Wild Wolf Mountain, unaware that hundreds of anti-aircraft guns were aimed at them.
As the Japanese planes descended in altitude and prepared to launch a bombing, hundreds of anti-aircraft guns on the ground opened fire in unison.
Countless shells flew towards the Japanese planes. The soldiers operated the anti-aircraft guns and fired frantically, while the loaders worked hard to load shells.
The Japanese planes in the sky had no time to react and six of them were shot down in an instant.
The soldiers cheered happily as they watched the Japanese plane being shot down, but they did not stop their actions.
“Comrades, well done.
Just fight like this and destroy these Japanese planes."
A company commander shouted loudly.
"Don't stop the loader, and hit the gunner hard."
The Japanese planes in the sky began to dodge desperately and increase their altitude.
No matter how good their skills are, it still takes time for the plane to climb.
In just over 10 seconds, three more Japanese bombers were shot down.
The extremely dense artillery shells formed a tight firepower network over the entire Wild Wolf Mountain.
The Japanese flight squadron leader immediately issued an order to retreat, as the anti-aircraft firepower of Wild Wolf Mountain was simply terrifying.
Nine planes had been lost before entering Wild Wolf Mountain. If they continued to carry out the mission, the entire aviation brigade would probably be wiped out.
