Chapter 342: Air Defense Awareness


Zhang Wei finished formulating the tactical training plan and called several squadron leaders.

Zhang Wei would let them see any decisions and plans after he formulated them.

Zhang Wei could not act alone.

After reading the training plan, the three squadron commanders all put forward their opinions in a timely manner and helped Zhang Wei correct some details, while Mu Chao focused on the issue of air defense.

"Captain, I think our air defense awareness needs to be strengthened.

This time in the Luoshan area of ​​​​Xinyang, we were bombed by planes, and there were also bombs by Japanese planes on the way back.

In this regard, shouldn't we practice?"

Mu As soon as the super words were finished, both Qiu Wei and Zheng Yiqun agreed.

"That makes sense.

The Japanese planes bombed too hard.

When we were in southern Henan, if we hadn't been guarding secondary positions, we would have been blown up by the Japanese planes long ago."

Qiu Wei said, with a smile on his face.

With a hint of fear.

What he was talking about was that when he was in southern Henan, the preparation battalion deployed behind the Xinzhuang position where the friendly First Army was stationed.

The Japanese army launched an air raid on the defender's position.

Xinzhuang and the Longshan position, the commanding heights on the left wing, were badly bombed.

The Longshan position was bombed at that time.

The flames of the explosion soared into the sky, and could be seen clearly by the preparation camp several miles away.

The damage caused by the Japanese yellow phosphorus arson bombs to friendly troops at that time is still fresh in Mu Chao's memory to this day.

"I was negligent, Mu Chao said it right."

Zhang Wei patted his head.

Almost all his energy was focused on the infantry battle, but he neglected the air defense.

In this battle of Lanfeng, the preparation camp suffered The bombing was mainly concentrated in the Battle of Xinyang.

In fact, the bombing was not miserable.

Several arson bombs fell on the position, and they were strafed by two fighter jets.

The real tragedy was for the friendly forces.

Zhang Wei probably forgot about it when making the training plan because he did not have a painful bombing experience in the Battle of Lanfeng.

Now that Mu Chao mentioned it, Zhang Wei felt that this was really the case.

This is a big problem.

The preparation battalion was not bombed in the Battle of Lanfeng, but it is not certain whether the teaching brigade will be bombed in the future.

Air supremacy on the battlefield is controlled by the Japanese army most of the time.

It is necessary to strengthen air defense awareness.

"Air defense, we don't have air defense weapons now.

The heavy machine gun under Captain Li Shaoyan has an anti-aircraft tripod.

With this, we can shoot down Japanese aircraft."

Zheng Yiqun said, from the heavy firepower squadron of the teaching brigade There are three heavy machine gun platoons.

These nine imported Czech heavy machine guns that Zhang Wei pulled out from the equipment warehouse, each of them came with a used anti-aircraft tripod and a disc-shaped anti-aircraft sight when it was imported, which can shoot in the air. .

However, Li Shaoyan, the leader of the heavy firepower squadron, did not attend the meeting.

He is a lieutenant, and the nature of the leader of the heavy firepower squadron is the same as that of the former commander of the heavy machine gun company of the battalion.

It focuses on management.

In fact, he is the same as the engineer platoon leader He Jinhai. level.

"It's not very useful.

There are only nine machine guns in total.

Our teaching brigade has more than 800 people.

We can't protect it and form an air defense net."

Mu Chao poured cold water on Zheng Yiqun.

He had more combat experience, and Zheng Yiqun had It still looked a little tender when it came to it.

These Czech-made ZB37 heavy machine guns are indeed equipped with special anti-aircraft tripods and disc sights.

However, machine gun air defense is originally the next choice.

It belongs to the end of the air defense method.

The role of machine gun shooting in driving away and threatening is less than the actual The killing is more significant.

Moreover, with only nine machine guns, it is impossible to provide a safe shelter net for the entire brigade.

Equipping heavy machine guns with anti-aircraft tripods has been attempted before.

Before the war, the troops were armed with German weapons.

At that time, the model unit of the National Army Adjustment Division was the teaching corps.

Each battalion of the teaching corps would be equipped with a heavy machine gun company and a mortar platoon.

The heavy machine gun company was equipped with six civilian type 24 heavy machine guns.

Two guns are arranged in a row, and three platoons are programmed.

In one of these three platoons, the two heavy machine guns are equipped with special anti-aircraft tripods and sights, which have also been used in exercises and actual combat.

The conclusion is that it is of no use at all.

Not to mention that two heavy machine guns equipped with anti-aircraft tripods cannot form a dense firepower network at all, and the anti-aircraft effect of the 79-caliber heavy machine gun itself is unsatisfactory.

Whether it is range, accuracy, or lethality, the national army There are not so many heavy pointed bullets and incendiary bombs for heavy machine guns.

The teaching brigade now has nine heavy machine guns with anti-aircraft tripods.

The air defense effect can only be said to be very limited.

Even if all nine heavy machine guns are in anti-aircraft mode, they cannot provide effective air defense cover for the entire brigade.

At most, they can only be used to drive away The shooting method protects the strength of a squadron.

It is difficult to shoot a plane with a small-caliber machine gun.

It is okay to face scattered Japanese troops and planes looking for death, but it is of no use against large-scale bombing.

"The heavy firepower company will let them train anti-aircraft fire.

Regarding air defense issues, the brothers have to strengthen their own training and learn to proactively avoid air attacks.

When setting up defense at the station, the sentries should pay attention to the sky and send people to act as air defense sentries. , When building a position, you need to have anti-air raid fortifications.

These things must be summarized into air defense regulations and added to the training plan.”

"Okay, this should be done.

Not only the recruits, but also many veterans have not experienced many decent air raids.

They also have no awareness of air defense in their minds.

They have never suffered losses or been bombed."

Qiu Wei added.

The veterans of the teaching brigade have good infantry combat abilities, but they do not have much awareness of air defense and "experience in being bombed."

They have experienced small-scale bombings in the battles near Xinyang, and their knowledge of aircraft and bombing may not be the same.

How much better than those new recruits who came in later.

"What Qiu Wei said is, in fact, the bombing we suffered in southern Henan was just drizzle, and the bombing we suffered in Nanjing was called a serious air raid."

Zhang Wei recalled the air raid.

The most severe air raid he suffered was actually in Nanjing.

It was more than a year ago.

It was a carpet bombing by dozens of bombers that lasted for tens of minutes.

At that time, if it were not for the Purple Mountain The fortifications are good, and it is estimated that there is no residue left from the bombing long ago.

Air defense is divided into field air defense and strategic air defense.

Needless to say, strategic air defense is a fixed air defense network deployed in big cities or strategic points.

This type of air defense basically relies on heavy air defense weapons, such as various calibers, including 100 Large-caliber anti-aircraft guns with a diameter of over 1 mm are used to fire, as well as a full set of supporting facilities such as searchlights and observation towers.

What the teaching brigade needs to use is field air defense.

In theory, field air defense also requires anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to form a field air defense network.

However, the Chinese army does not have this condition.

Those anti-aircraft guns and a small number of large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns cannot be divided into field troops. in hand.

Therefore, the prevention and control measures of the teaching brigade are to strengthen air defense awareness, dig air defense stoves when cooking, and guide the smoke generated during cooking.

When building fortifications, special preparations must be made to prevent air attacks.

When stationed, one must be alert to the sky and fire blank guns when the situation is discovered.

For the teaching brigade, these are practical and effective methods of air defense
