Chapter 3092 Aftermath
If the wings of the plane were simply broken by a shot, the flight control was destroyed, and the black smoke was swirling and falling to the ground, this would actually be considered a relative disadvantage to these Japanese pilots who drove their classic aircraft to the kamikaze board. Not a bad result.
What's even more terrible is that it was hit and exploded in the air. The destructive power was so terrifying that one blow could make the bombed Japanese aircraft itself and all the surrounding Japanese aircraft that had not been killed be sacrificed to the sky on the spot. .
The power of at least 500 kilograms of explosives combined with aviation fuel to explode in the airspace is no joke. It is also a force that these old Japanese aircraft, which are already over-limited and overloaded and fly slowly, cannot bear.
With well-coordinated and well-coordinated anti-aircraft gunfire to block air routes, the roof-mounted machine gun firepower, which is almost free to shoot from the air, can kill everyone.
It sounds like machine gun firepower, but the caliber is larger than the last.
There are not only time-tested comrades like Deshka 7, but also the concentrated firepower output of KPV 5, which is specially designed to strengthen air defense capabilities.
The background of the initial birth of KPV was that the front-line troops of the Red Army wanted a high-level dual-purpose machine gun with better performance, and focused on improving performance in terms of anti-air firepower.
The design and R&D department saw that the 5mm ammunition had good effects when used on anti-tank rifles. The ballistic trajectory was straight and high, the initial velocity was high, the effective range was long and the damage was great, and the accuracy was relatively good. It basically has the advantages of being a heavy-duty firearm and ammunition. All are available.
He simply made a rounded-off "repeating anti-tank rifle", and the KPV, which was as terrifying as a machine gun beast, came into being.
This behemoth of a machine gun, which has more than twice the amount of ammunition fired by the US military's Lao Ganma, can be described as terrifying in terms of the damage it causes to the aircraft.
The structural resistance of the Japanese aircraft's body seemed to be non-existent in front of this thing. A 5mm armor-piercing bullet could directly penetrate the entire engine at the front of the nose, setting off a large number of warheads and engine fragments to further damage the interior of the aircraft and the pilot.
This is true even for the engine part, which has the best structural resistance of the entire aircraft. The other parts of the Japanese classic aircraft, which were designed to run naked without armor protection in the early days, are even less able to withstand the terrifying destructive power of KPV.
If hit on the wing spar, a big hole will be made, which is close to breaking. If hit on the cockpit, the whole cockpit can be skewered with the glass.
This is true for armor-piercing bullets. 5mm ammunition with a large enough caliber and a high-explosive warhead with a mixed bullet chain. Although the charge is small, it is absolutely fatal to Japanese aircraft with thin skin and large stuffing.
The remaining Japanese fighter planes, which were already being chased by the anti-aircraft barrage, had lost all their energy, their altitude was not very good, and their speed was not good. The explosives installed in the fuselage and converted into special attack aircraft could not be removed or thrown away.
A barrage of 5mm machine guns aimed at the fuselage with red fire, and immediately opened a long series of neat gun holes on the unlucky Type 97 fighter jet.
The hot warhead not only penetrated the fuselage and tore the skin, but also fired the 5 mm high-explosive warhead that penetrated into the fuselage and exploded. It also detonated the fuel tank and the airborne explosives on the spot.
Boom——
The power and movement of this explosion in the sky was so great.
It was so big that the Japanese Type 97 fighter jet was directly torn into pieces in the air. From the engine to the main structure of the fuselage, there was no intact part left, and everything was turned into a rain of garbage and fire and flames.
The explosive fireball, which exploded very quickly and spread extremely quickly, also detonated another nearby Type 97 within the blast radius.
Rumble——
The final result of this was that the explosion of the first Type 97 had not disappeared, and the loud noise of the explosion of the second Type 97 had already been heard.
Two huge flames almost merged into one in the air, and countless body fragments were thrown by the explosion, and a scalding garbage rained down everywhere.
A gust of wind happened to blow by, and the large fireball was blown directly into a wall of fire in the air, and its range was instantly expanded to more than two or three times its original size.
"Suka! He fell out of the car! It's hot, oh oh! It's so hot!!!"
It was also because the scope of the rain of garbage in the sky was so large that it almost covered the entire combat airspace.
Part of the high-temperature debris fell directly into the open-top ZSU-37-2 anti-aircraft vehicle. The crew members could feel the extremely hot thing through their clothes, and they quickly yelled and screamed to get the thing off their bodies. Pull it apart.
The loader, wearing Tongfa's heat-insulating gloves, picked up the thing and threw it out of the car, and then continued to load ammunition and go into battle.
There are only 9 suicide planes that are unlikely to be successful. Their performance is inherently poor, not to mention that they are overloaded and have almost no maneuverability at all.
The final result was that they were beaten violently by more than a dozen anti-aircraft vehicles on the ground, plus more than twice the number of roof-mounted machine guns.
Except for the two Japanese suicide planes that quickly ran away when the situation was not right, they turned around and turned back. The remaining seven Japanese suicide planes that were unwilling to leave, or were too late to leave, were all volleyed into fireballs, or It just hits the ground and explodes with a loud noise.
As for the casualties on the leader's side,
Two air defense vehicle crew members were burned by falling high-temperature debris. An IS7 was affected by the shock wave of an enemy plane crashing to the ground and exploding. As a result, the outer wall of the main gun barrel, which was far less protective than armored steel, was damaged and was scratched out by large high-speed fragments. A pretty deep gash.
To be on the safe side, it is best to go back to the field repair shop and change the barrel, so as not to turn around and fire the barrel to blow up the barrel and endanger the lives of the crew.
The leader army has enough heavy lifting equipment to replace the 130mm main gun barrel in the field environment. It only needs to lift and remove the IS7 gun shield and the gun barrel together.
The previous batch of heavy cranes converted from the IS2 chassis are still in service in the logistics support troops. It is not a problem to lift and replace the 130mm main gun barrel with a 40-ton self-weight.
In addition, the vanguard of the leader army did not suffer any other losses in this bizarre suicide airstrike that made people want to laugh. No one was killed and no vehicle was completely damaged.
It was the consumption of ammunition that would definitely be heartbreaking for the Japanese army.
But what Malashenko cares least about is the consumption of ammunition. In other words, in Malashenko's view, if you don't consume ammunition, do you keep it for reproduction?
"These Japanese devils are really crazy. Not even one of the seven planes shot down was able to parachute alive. This is a pilot, and they just used him as ammunition. Even now I still find it unbelievable."
Malachenko understood Lavrinenko's feelings after seeing this scene. In fact, any normal person would feel the same way.
Only crazy militarists who have lost their minds will take the initiative to use this trick as a skill, hoping to turn defeat into victory.
"Be more careful in the future. If there is a first time, there will be a second and third time. The leader's army is now the fastest advancing Red Army unit on all fronts, and it is also a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the Japanese devils."
"In order to stop us from advancing further, these crazy guys will do whatever it takes and use all means."
Malachenko, who was thinking for a while before he finished speaking, looked a little solemn. Now he is indeed facing a very difficult problem, and then he continued to speak to Lavrinenko frankly.
"I really didn't expect that the Japanese devils could use the same method to deal with American warships to deal with us. I once thought that as long as our ground offensive went smoothly, there would be basically no problem."
"But now it seems that this is not the case. The situation is more complicated and difficult than expected."
"Although we won this time, we discovered the threat in time and quickly organized field air defense, causing the Japanese devils to lose soldiers and planes without getting anything."
"But what if they repeat the same trick? What if they not only repeat the same trick, but also replace it with aircraft with better performance, faster speed and larger load? What if the number next time is several times more than 9? "
"As long as these human-guided bombs succeed in one attack, they can wipe out more than a dozen vehicles and hundreds of people in our marching column in one go. Those crazy Japanese devils can not care about life and death, and try again and again, but we are different. The soldiers of the leader's army are not meant to be sacrificed in such attacks and buried with the enemy."
""
Riding in a GAZ jeep with Malashenko, they were on the way back after inspecting the vanguard.
Looking out the window at the main force still marching cross-country, I heard Malashenko's worried analysis.
Lavrinenko seemed to be able to foresee that once the Japanese devils realized that such tactics were really effective against the leader's army, they would take unimaginable crazy actions to drag people to their deaths.
The same low tone of words came out immediately.
"What are you going to do next? Do you have any good countermeasures? You can always predict the enemy and find a way, I hope it will be the same this time."
""
To be honest, facing such crazy tactics of the Japanese devils.
Even the US Navy, which is equipped with VT proximity fuze anti-aircraft bombs and has an air defense effectiveness that is one level ahead of the times, has no good way.
Not to mention that the destroyer was directly killed and sunk by the Japanese devils' suicide attack, even the serious large fleet aircraft carrier was hit and lost its combat effectiveness, and was forced to withdraw from the battlefield and return to the port for repairs.
Therefore, pure defense is definitely not a solution. The Americans can't stop the crazy suicide attacks with VT bombs and fleet air defense. Although there is field air defense, it is limited to the leader army at short range and low altitude. Don't count on it. Air combat is not the strong point of the Iron Torrent.
Thinking of this, Malashenko, who knew that this matter was no longer something he could solve and had to report to the leader, spoke in a deep voice.
"There is no way. The leader army alone can't solve such a problem, and pure defense is not a solution."
"Report to the front headquarters, and if necessary, the commander will report to the military district headquarters. The only way is to take the initiative to attack, destroy and continue to suppress the aviation operation capabilities of the Japanese devils' land airports, and strengthen the airspace patrols in the war zone and send more fighter patrols."
"With the overwhelming absolute strength of the Red Army Air Force, it can be done, and only in this way can it be prevented before it happens. Even if the hidden dangers of suicide attacks cannot be completely eradicated, at least Minimize it."
"Otherwise, if we are bombarded with 500 kg, 800 kg, or even 1 ton aerial bombs by human flesh every day, there is no need to fight this war. The leader army should just find a position to stay and prepare for air defense to protect itself."
"I will report this matter in person and explain its seriousness. It must be resolved. This is the only tactic of the Japanese devils that can pose a fatal threat to us. We cannot pin our hopes on the enemy not expanding the use of this tactic. The opportunity for victory can only be in our own hands. "
