U.S. Army M2 90mm anti-aircraft gun, maximum effective horizontal range: 17,823 m, maximum firing height: 10,380 m, rate of fire: 20 rounds/minute.

The role is similar to that of the German 88 mm anti-aircraft gun, with a gunner team of 8 to 10 people.

It was replaced by the "Hawk" surface-to-air missile in the early 1960s.

This time for air defense, Liu Feiyang quickly assembled an anti-aircraft gun battalion with the twenty-eight M2 90mm anti-aircraft guns he received as a reward.

This anti-aircraft artillery battalion is mainly responsible for dealing with bombers hiding in the sky. Today is also the first battle that Liu Feiyang sent this anti-aircraft artillery battalion to prevent Japanese air raids.

One by one, 90mm high-explosive bombs equipped with wireless proximity fuzes are also ready to go, piled up around the gunner.

The gun uses a vertical wedge-type breech block, a hydraulic-pneumatic brake, a spring-loaded balancer, and large shields on both sides of the gun body. The fire control system includes a search radar, a tracking radar, a commander and a special trailer for fire control equipment.

.

The 90mm anti-aircraft gun was very effective in knocking down many enemy aircraft during World War II.

Artillery shells are not cheap at all these days. For example, the high-explosive shells of the 155 howitzer fired by the artillery battalion Liu Feiyang just commanded cost fifty US dollars each.

Moreover, during the Battle of Songhu, there was still a market, but no country was willing to sell it to the national army for use in killing Japanese troops. Even if a shell sold for more than 250 yuan, there was no channel to sell it.

The troops responsible for operating these M2 90mm anti-aircraft guns for air defense consist of a battalion.

The commanding officers are Northeast Army platoon leader Shen Jingbing as the overall commander, Sichuan Army platoon leader Zhang Junjie and Gui Army platoon leader Fang Liang as deputy commanders.

"Da da da, da da da!!!"

"Thud, tug, tug, tug!!!"

“TOM, TOM, TOM!!!”

Gunfires were heard one after another, and the little Japanese and Liu Feiyang's reconnaissance company were fighting fiercely.

However, the air defense situation on this side of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion was very calm, and we didn't see even half a Japanese plane coming.

"Smoking is not a brother?"

Northeast Army platoon leader Shen Jingbing took out one of the five Marlboros given to him by Liu Feiyang, handed it to Sichuan Army platoon leader Zhang Junjie and Gui Army platoon leader Fang Liang, who were also a little idle around him, and asked.

At this moment, the official positions of the three of them have not changed, but Liu Feiyang has handed over the command of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion to the three of them.

Because they were able to learn anti-aircraft artillery quickly, and they were originally artillerymen. In addition, the three of them also fought together with Liu Feiyang and killed the Japanese together.

Therefore, Liu Feiyang did this deliberately to prepare for provoking the three of them.

"Did the company commander give you the cigarettes?"

"I heard that the cigarettes he gave are all good goods!"

"All the officers and soldiers who have tried it love it with their hands and feel the same taste and texture as dogs!"

Zhang Junjie, the Sichuan Army platoon leader, accepted the offer unceremoniously. He came over, opened and pulled out a mint-flavored Marlboro, and lit it with a lighter to try it.

Marlboro has a total of five types of packaging, red and white hard and soft packaging, yellow and white hard and soft packaging, and green and white hard packaging (all short), with three flavors: strong, light, and mint.

.

“This mint tastes great, very refreshing and good for sore throats!”

"Our company commander really understands taste!"

"I'm afraid that high-end products like this may not be available in Songhu!"

"If our company commander takes these goods to Songhu and sells them, I'm afraid he will definitely make a lot of money!"

Sichuan Army platoon leader Zhang Junjie narrowed his eyes, blew out a smoke ring and smiled.

"Yeah! You're right!"

"This Marlboro will definitely be a bestseller!"

"But you just called our commander by the wrong military title. You have to do it right!"

"He is now the battalion commander. If you still call him company commander, be careful he doesn't mention you!"

Northeast Army platoon leader Shen Jingbing said with a joking smile.

"Hahaha! Thanks for reminding me!"

"I am so tired of killing Japanese that I have forgotten that our young and promising new officer has been promoted and made a fortune recently!"

"But do you think the Japanese plane will attack us tonight?"

"They have already made many sorties during the day, so they probably won't come at night too!"

"And the sight at night is not good. Their pilot must have poor sight! He can't see clearly at night!"

"Will we wait in vain for the Japanese planes to attack?"

Sichuan Army platoon leader Zhang Junjie said a little worried.

Because he really wanted to try out the dazzling array of M2-type 90mm anti-aircraft guns in front of him, and the power of anti-aircraft artillery to attack Japanese aircraft.

Ever since he fought with the Japs, he has always wanted to shoot down more Japs planes.

But his wish has never been realized.

It wasn't until he met Liu Feiyang that he controlled an anti-aircraft machine gun to shoot down a Japanese aircraft some time ago, but there was no follow-up.

So this time he wanted to control these M2 90mm anti-aircraft guns no matter what, and give the Japanese a big surprise.

Because Liu Feiyang told him that these M2 90mm anti-aircraft guns could definitely shoot down many Japanese planes.

So he believed it without any doubt.

Because in front of him, Liu Feiyang killed many national army troops one after another, but he couldn't achieve a record of killing Japanese troops.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment provided by Liu Feiyang are also really new and very powerful.

He has personally manipulated and killed Japanese.

One of the true witnesses.

"It will definitely come!"

"Since our commander said the Japanese will come, we believe it!"

"We'll just have to bombard the Japanese planes with all our strength later!"

Northeastern Army platoon leader Shen Jingbing also responded with an unwavering gaze.

He also trusted Liu Feiyang very much.

"Da da da!"

"Da da da!——"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang bang!——"

While the two of them were chatting, the Sichuan Army reconnaissance troops were still engaged in a life-or-death battle with the Japanese soldiers of the Ninth Regiment.

The sound of gunfire still echoed through the starry night sky.

"Da da da——"

"Da da da——"

"Da da da——"

At this moment, dense tracer bullets and illumination bombs were suddenly fired over the position of the Japanese 9th Infantry Regiment.

When these single species bloom and illuminate the entire battlefield,

"No! It's a group of Japanese planes. The Japanese planes are coming!"

Guijun platoon leader Fang Liang, who had been silently smoking a mint-flavored Marlboro, immediately threw away the cigarette butt and stamped it out, then rushed back to the anti-aircraft gun position where he was responsible. Yelled loudly.

Hearing this, Northeastern Army platoon leader Shen Jingbing and Sichuan Army platoon leader Zhang Junjie were also startled. They quickly raised their heads and stared at the bright night sky illuminated by tracer bullets and flares.

"No! The Japanese planes really came to attack us at night!"

"Everyone, quickly enter combat mode and prepare to bombard the enemy's aircraft group!"

Northeast Army platoon leader Shen Jingbing looked at the sky in the distance. A dense group of Japanese aircraft were flying and circling over Liu Feiyang's artillery position, preparing to drop bombs on the more than 20 M40s nicknamed "Long Legs" left by Liu Feiyang. Tom"'s self-propelled artillery, he also exclaimed immediately.

Then he quickly ran back to his anti-aircraft gun position and prepared to direct the artillery attack.

As for those cigarettes, he quickly burned them out and threw them away.

People who acted like him include Sichuan Army platoon leader Zhang Junjie.

...

"Buzz!"

"Buzz buzz!——"

"Buzz buzz!——"

"Buzz buzz!——"
