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

Chapter 452 The Japanese reconnaissance plane is coming

After hearing what his leader said, the Japanese lieutenant officer really didn't know how to respond.

If I give feedback that they might be shot down, wouldn't that be a curse on my own leader? But if I let Tanaka Kyuichi go and he was shot down, I would be responsible for not trying to dissuade him. Moreover, the lieutenant has been with Tanaka Kyuichi for so many years, and if such a strong supporter is gone, it will not be easy to find him again.

Seeing the officer's hesitation, Tanaka Kyuichi also understood that the officer was doing this for his own good, and said, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but how can I, Tanaka Kyuichi, explain to General Gangcun if I go back like this?

Furthermore, I had previously made some harsh remarks in front of those senior officers of the Locust Army in Jin. If I were to go back in such disgrace, wouldn’t I be looked down upon by them?

The last point is also the most important. Seeing that the Eighth Route Army is so powerful at present, I am really worried about the upcoming battle situation.

Therefore, I must go to Ping'an County today."

Tanaka Hisaichi was able to become a senior officer in the Japanese army, so he was naturally not a fool. He could see clearly the thoughts and concerns of his subordinates, and he also had his own judgment on the situation in Ping'an County.

For the sake of his face and the locust army's upcoming battle, he had no choice but to go this time.

"General! You..."

Tanaka Kyuichi waved his hand to interrupt the officer's words: "As long as the pilot you assign to me is the best pilot in our Locust Army, it will be fine.

I believe in the ability of our Locust Army's ace pilots. Even without the advantage of terrain, I will definitely return safely.

You calm our troops down, and when I come back from reconnaissance, we will re-launch the attack on Ping'an County."

"Hai!"

The Japanese officer bowed and saluted.

Tanaka Hisahi strode towards the temporary military airport in the camp without even finishing his unfinished battle report.

Obviously, his worries about the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army and his fear of the Liaoyuan Arsenal had reached an extremely high level, and he did not want to delay any longer.

The lieutenant watched Tanaka Hisaichi fly away. For some reason, he felt that one more look would be one less.

......

Ping'an Industrial Zone weapons testing ground.

Yu Ye and Zhang Ying were still carefully watching Li Yunlong and Yang Xing test the effectiveness of the new anti-aircraft gun. Whether it was a single shot or continuous fire, they were able to successfully complete the close-range bombing.

A total of more than a dozen missiles were fired, and no matter from what angle they were fired, they could explode within 3-5 meters of the target.

After firing more than a dozen shells with proximity fuses, the wooden target board was already riddled with holes. A slight pull would probably turn the target board into a pile of wood chips.

"Well, this new type of shell is good, but it's not very interesting to hit this dead target. It would be great if there were large, movable targets for us to try."

Yang Xing said with some regret after firing four shells in a row.

"You idiot, we don't have any planes, right? If we had target planes, we would definitely shoot you down."

"Yes, if you can have a fight and practice your skills in advance, then when you shoot down the enemy planes, you will be able to kill one with just two or three shots. Then you will just watch the enemy planes falling down in a line!"

Yang Xing rubbed his hands excitedly and said.

Zhang Ying, who was listening nearby, curled his lips and said, "Captain Yang, you're still practicing your skills in advance. Do you know how much this shell costs?"

Yang Xing was stunned: "Tell me, how high is it?"

"10 silver dollars a shot."

Zhang Ying said unhappily.

"How many?"

Yang Xing's voice rose several degrees involuntarily. He had never expected that the shell he had just fired would be so expensive. It was beyond his imagination.

"10 silver dollars per shot, that's just our cost price. If one day we decide to sell this new type of proximity fuze, the price will be at least 100 silver dollars."

Yu Ye explained that as the director of Liaoyuan Arsenal, the purchase of these raw materials and electronic components had to be approved by his signature, so he was very familiar with the price.

"hiss!"

Li Yunlong and Yang Xing both gasped at the same time. This price was far beyond their expectations.

Not to mention the selling price of the goods, even the cost price of 10 yuan per shot is not enough. Only the Liaoyuan Arsenal with sufficient wealth can afford it. Other teams in the Eighth Route Army may not be able to afford it.

Seeing through the thoughts of Li Yunlong and Yang Xing, Yu Ye smiled and said, "You can use these anti-aircraft shells with proximity fuses as you like. As long as you don't use them to shoot birds, I will approve as many as you want."

So arrogant!

Li Yunlong looked at the shell in his hand, then looked at Yu Ye, his eyes full of the look of a local rich man.

Yu Ye glanced at Li Yunlong and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a roar coming from the distant sky.

This is the sound of the Japanese reconnaissance plane!

Type 97 headquarters reconnaissance aircraft.

The Japanese are coming?

Looking in the direction where the sound came from, there were several black spots in the sky far away flying towards Ping'an County, and these black spots were still getting bigger.

"Damn the little devils, they are here to sneak attack our Ping'an County."

Li Yunlong sat on the gun mount of the 25mm twin anti-aircraft gun and cursed angrily.

"Monk!"

Before Li Yunlong's rough roar finished, the monk knew what the commander wanted him to do.

Without saying a word, the monk picked up Yu Ye before he could react and ran towards the factory building next to the test site, where there were air-raid shelters that had been dug in advance.

The other soldiers of the Liangshan detachment were not idle either. They grabbed Zhang Ying and several elite soldiers escorted Yu Ye and Zhang Ying towards the air defense fortifications in the factory.

At the same time, a shrill alarm sounded in the Ping'an Industrial Zone. Zhao Gang and Guo Shoujue were organizing the air defense evacuation of these factories. At the same time, they were also guiding the anti-aircraft artillery teams ambushed around the core factories to be ready to immediately fight back if the Japanese intended to bomb the core factories in the Ping'an Industrial Zone.

We don't ask to shoot down the Japanese, but at least reduce the damage caused by their planes to the Ping'an Industrial Zone.

Li Yunlong sat upright on the gun mount and began to direct the soldiers of the artillery company to adjust the inclination angle and be ready to engage the enemy at any time.

"Captain, the Japanese planes are coming, why don't you go and hide? We are here to help."

The soldiers in the artillery battalion who were in charge of loading the ammunition advised Li Yunlong to hide quickly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've been waiting for the Japanese for so long that my hands are itching. Now I finally have the chance, and you want me to hide for a while?

How can this be?

If I don't break these two front teeth of the devil, I won't be called Li!"

Obviously, the independent regiment had no part in this war, which made Lao Li very angry. Now that he had a chance to vent, he naturally would not let it go.

When Yang Xing saw the regiment commander's expression, he knew that he could not persuade him, so he simply stopped talking. He focused all his attention on how to shoot down the three reconnaissance planes.

As long as the Japanese reconnaissance plane is shot down, the regiment commander will naturally be safe.
