61: Chapter 61 Let's have some fun with a plane!

Anti-aircraft guns?

Brigade Commander, Li Yunlong, and the others flickered their eyes, but couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

Could there be more to this?

Anti-aircraft guns... aren't they just anti-aircraft guns?

At most, they just have a larger caliber!

Besides, Shen Wang just said he brought three Anti-Aircraft Battalions, a full 12 85mm anti-aircraft guns.

An 85mm caliber is indeed terrifying!

But compared to the 107mm rocket launchers in front of us, does it seem worth mentioning separately?

The few exchanged glances, seeing similar thoughts in each other's eyes, but no one spoke it out.

Since Shen Wang said to look, then let's go take a look.

Brigade Commander put on a smile and said politely: "Great! The anti-aircraft guns brought by Mr. Shen must be the best of the best! Let's go and open our eyes!"

Thus, everyone moved to another open space.

When those 12 85mm anti-aircraft guns, 36 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and a full 54 12.7mm dual-purpose machine guns appeared before them, the slight "contempt" in their hearts vanished instantly.

"My goodness!" Li Yunlong's eyes widened.

"Damn it... our Eighth Route Army wouldn't have dared to even dream of this before!"

"If we had had these earlier, would the Japanese Soldier's planes have been so arrogant?"

Kong Jie and Ding Wei also exclaimed repeatedly, their faces full of excitement.

Brigade Commander was even more emotional; he had subconsciously "looked down" on the anti-aircraft guns just now, and now it seemed he had been getting ahead of himself!

Let alone these large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, the entire Eighth Route Army might not even be able to scrape together 50 of those 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns!

"Mr. Shen, this... this truly solves our urgent need!" Brigade Commander said sincerely.

"Yes, yes! Mr. Shen has helped us a lot!"

"Let's see if the Japanese Soldier's planes dare to bomb us as they please in the future!"

Everyone spoke words of gratitude and praise, and the atmosphere was warm.

The Eighth Route Army especially lacked heavy weapons, and among heavy weapons, they especially lacked anti-aircraft weapons!

These three battalions of anti-aircraft equipment were even more important than those 14 99A tanks!

However, standing to the side, Shen Wang frowned slightly.

He was in a bind.

These anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns themselves were not particularly impressive!

But what truly made them impressive were the shells and bullets equipped with "proximity fuzes"!

But this thing, unlike the 107mm rocket launchers that could show their power intuitively by shelling a hilltop, was different.

Without an aerial target, how could he demonstrate the "intelligence" and terror of the proximity fuze?

Seeing Shen Wang suddenly fall silent and frown, the enthusiastic atmosphere instantly cooled down.

Everyone subconsciously closed their mouths, afraid of disturbing him.

Brigade Commander stepped forward with concern and asked tentatively: "Mr. Shen, are you exhausted from the journey? How about we go to the regimental headquarters to rest and drink some hot water?"

Li Yunlong and the others also hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, yes, Mr. Shen, rest first, no rush to look!"

Everyone crowded around Shen Wang.

However, just then—

"Whoosh—whew—!!!"

A sharp whistle suddenly rang out from the southeast direction of the village!

Air defense alert!

Everyone's expression changed instantly!

Brigade Commander, Li Yunlong, and the others looked up at the sky almost reflexively.

I saw a black dot under the clouds approaching from afar, accompanied by the low roar of an engine.

It was exactly the Japanese Soldier's Type 94 reconnaissance plane.

It flew low over Yang Village unscrupulously!

"Not good! It's the Japanese Soldier's reconnaissance plane!" Li Yunlong's face changed drastically.

Brigade Commander's face was even uglier to the extreme.

"The enemy must have received word; we've been exposed!"

With over a thousand transport trucks, could the commotion be small?

The Japanese Soldier isn't blind or deaf; they must have received intelligence, which is why they sent the reconnaissance plane.

And the appearance of this reconnaissance plane meant that the massive supplies of over a thousand trucks stretching at the village entrance had been completely exposed!

Before long, I'm afraid the Japanese Soldier's bomber fleet will come roaring in!

By then, all the 56-series assault rifles, 107mm rocket launchers, and anti-aircraft guns would become a pile of scrap metal!

"Li Yunlong!" Brigade Commander made a prompt decision.

"Immediately organize all personnel of the regiment! Mobilize the villagers! At all costs, move the supplies at the fastest speed and disperse to safe areas in the mountains! Hurry!"

"Yes!" Li Yunlong's eyes were red as he turned to deploy.

Brigade Commander hurriedly said to Shen Wang: "Mr. Shen, it's too dangerous here! Please follow us immediately to the regimental headquarters' air-raid shelter! The Japanese Soldier's bombers will be here any moment!"

Kong Jie, Ding Wei, Zhao Gang, and the others all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, anxious and burning with impatience.

Among all the Japanese Soldier's branches, the one they hated most and felt most helpless against was the air force.

They couldn't hit them, they couldn't run away, they could only passively take a beating and hide everywhere!

That feeling of being stifled and helpless was incomparable to ground combat!

If they couldn't win on the ground, at least they could use guerrilla tactics!

But those planes in the sky, they really had no way to deal with them!

However, in this tense and even slightly desperate atmosphere, Shen Wang smiled.

The Japanese Soldier came at just the right time!

He was just worrying about not having a way to demonstrate the power of the proximity fuze!

Thanks to the Japanese Soldier for sending the big plane!

He raised his hand gently, stopping everyone who was about to act.

"Brigade Commander, Regiment Commander Li, everyone..."

"We have anti-aircraft guns now, why do we need to retreat?"

"Why not try shooting down a plane?"

At first glance, this sounded very reasonable!

We have three Anti-Aircraft Battalions now, why run?

However, this was the thinking of an absolute layman.

Brigade Commander patiently explained to Shen Wang: "Mr. Shen, you might not know, but this anti-aircraft gun... is not something an ordinary person can use!"

"It's even harder to use than a howitzer; you have to be able to set the fuze time based on the enemy plane's altitude and speed, which requires years of experience!"

"To put it bluntly, in our entire Eighth Route Army, not many people know how to use this!"

"Time is pressing, I'll explain it to you in detail later, let's hurry up and hide!"

Li Yunlong and the others also urged Shen Wang to leave quickly; now was not the time to show off.

Li Yunlong was especially anxious; no one knew Shen Wang's boldness better than he did!

The Japanese Soldier's plane was right overhead, yet he didn't change his expression or miss a beat; he was a real man!

At this time, they heard Shen Wang say: "What if I said our fuzes don't need to have an explosion time set?"

"What?"

Everyone was a bit confused for a moment.

"Impact... impact fuze? Wouldn't that be like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Shen Wang shook his head; time was tight, and there was no time to explain too much.

"Like this, for safety's sake, I'll have them disperse and move these supplies first, lest an accident happens and the Japanese Soldier wipes them all out at once."

Brigade Commander and the others nodded; this was the sensible thing to do.

Next, they saw Shen Wang turn to look at Li Yunlong:

"Regiment Commander Li, dare to do another big job with This humble one Shen?"

Li Yunlong swallowed his saliva:

"How... how big?"

Shen Wang smiled slightly:

"Shoot down a few planes... for fun."
