On September 19, carrier-based aircraft finally took off from the deck of the Kaga, which had been silent since its arrival in China, but they did not attack the resistance forces in Shanghai together with Long Xiang and Xiangfeng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Izumo's wound made Hasegawa desperate to find an opportunity to make the Chinese army pay, but the battle of Shanghai was bogged down. Naturally, he saw a great opportunity, and China's weak naval fleet gathered on the Jiangyin defense line. Defense? In his eyes, it was a fragile paper wall.

Not only for revenge, but also to solve the unsightly force of the Chinese Navy and open the entrance to the Yangtze River. Kaga was ordered to destroy all enemy ships in all sections of the Gangyin section, and at the same time to send the air force of Yizhou as her support. She herself could have sat firmly at the mouth of the sea, escorted by a mine team led by Yura.

"Lord Kaga, we can't take it lightly, the Army Air Force tried to attack 3 days ago, but it was counterattacked by the enemy's stubborn anti-aircraft fire, and many fighters were shot."

"I know that this place is more than 200 kilometers away from Jiangyin, which is within my control."

Kaga stared at the gray sky, but her gaze had shifted to Lieutenant Iizuka's landline.

"How's it going?"

"The weather conditions are okay, there is mist on the river, which has an impact on the hit rate of the bombs. It is expected to arrive in operational airspace in 10 minutes. ”

"The soldier is very fast, once it enters the combat airspace, accelerate the flight, and the target is the enemy's light cruiser. Ignore the other boats. ”

After Kaga gave the order to Iizuka and continued to remain in a state of distraction. Before the two teams of carrier-based aircraft took off, she had already released a reconnaissance plane as her eyes, and it was still an unmanned "unmanned" aircraft. If she were to be replaced by another aircraft carrier, she would definitely not do such a dangerous thing, as long as she made a slight mistake, the plane would fall to the ground.

In order to stop the attack of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the Chinese scuttled many civilian ships and old ships and blocked the mouth of the river, waiting for the attack of the Japanese Third Task Force Mobile Fleet with the momentum of a broken boat.

It's a pity that Vice Admiral Hasegawa didn't plan to send the main force to storm Jiangyin, not because he was afraid of the Chinese fleet, but because the blockage of the river really made him have nothing to say, and the towed working ship had to clear the channel first. The original plan was to wait for the capture of Shanghai, and the army would seize both sides of Jiangyin, so that the Chinese navy would have to retreat, and then the working ships would clear the river.

But Izumo's injury angered Hasegawa, and Kaga arrived a little later a day to take over the task of "single-handedly" the Chinese fleet. Vice Admiral Hasegawa was not optimistic about Kaga, but only hoped that the Kaga would be used to strike a blow at the Chinese Navy's will to resist and facilitate the implementation of the original plan.

"If they were also ship girls, they should be able to spot reconnaissance planes at this distance."

Ship Niang is only available in the Japanese Empire, and it is a powerful weapon that the people of Amaterasu are qualified to become. Of course, it is impossible for the Chinese warship to stand on it with a young girl, nervously looking at the sky, alerting the enemy to attack. Even if it is, Kaga can get a dead hand!

There is no word for mercy to the enemy, and the greatest mercy is to make them "martyrs" in an instant, martyrdom in an instant, gain prestige, without torture, and avoid the last suffering. This is true mercy!

In Kaga's eyes, the so-called full strength of the Chinese Navy is so fragile and insignificant, as if it will immediately ignite a raging fire under the planes in the sky.

"Report, Kaga-sama. The first echelon has already spotted the enemy fleet and is preparing to attack. ”

"Good, no mercy. The first target, the flagship of the enemy's fleet, the Pinghai. ”

Kaga flew a reconnaissance plane over the fleet, and at this time, the Chinese crew also spotted a lone plane flying in the sky.

Immediately, several small boats with anti-aircraft machine guns launched fire on the reconnaissance plane, and their poor range and firepower certainly did not hit the reconnaissance plane. It was only at this time that Kaga controlled the reconnaissance plane to dive vertically, aiming directly at the sister ship "Ninghai" next to the Pinghai. Since it was an unmanned aircraft, Kaga did not leave the cockpit empty, but stuffed it with ********.

The entire reconnaissance aircraft is a large armor-piercing projectile, no less powerful than 500 kg of TNT equivalent. Needless to say, the small Ninghai is a Nagato-class battleship, and one of them is enough to escape back to the military port for overhaul.

"That plane was falling too fast for an anti-aircraft machine gun to hit it!" The machine gun leader outside the Ninghai shouted to the captain inside, "Quickly order the crew to evade." That plane is about to strafe the deck! The Japanese were so crazy that even reconnaissance planes dared to storm the air defense circle. As this experienced machine gunner put it, even if the reconnaissance plane fired a round with a machine gun, the small-caliber firepower would at most injure and kill a few crew members, and then it would be shattered by anti-aircraft fire because of the slowdown.

"No, there's no one in the cockpit......" Strangely, the captain of the Ninghai said his last words. It's over......"

The reconnaissance plane controlled by Kaga crashed headlong into the bridge of the command ship of the Pinghai, and in an instant, it exploded violently, blowing the bridge of the Ninghai into pieces. When the machine gun leader lost his sense of hearing and turned his head to look, all he saw was the wreckage of the bridge shrouded in black smoke and fire.

The accident before the start of the war not only hit the morale of the Chinese fleet, but also successfully abolished the command capability of the Ninghai, and the Ninghai, as the capital ship, became an air defense stronghold, and the dragons were leaderless, and a big flaw suddenly appeared in the air defense circle.

Lieutenant Iizuka saw the smoke rising from the Ninghai, he did not know what was happening, but according to the original plan, he began to approach the Chinese fleet.

The commander of the First Fleet of the Chinese Navy, who was standing in the command room of the Pinghai, never expected that the Japanese side would destroy the bridge of the Ninghai by virtue of a suicide attack by a reconnaissance plane. However, when he found that there were more than 15 enemy planes flying in the sky, he immediately gave the order to counterattack. There is no time to grieve for the sacrifice of comrades-in-arms, and on this battlefield, one more second of hesitation may cost you your life.

Switching to the Type 97 naval attack piloted by Lieutenant Iizuka, Kaga estimated the anti-aircraft fire ahead, and then used her control skills to make all the carrier-based aircraft suddenly accelerate. In many cases, speed is enough to turn into an advantage.

10 Type 97 ships attacked, and then dropped shipborne torpedoes. Despite their bulky size, only three aircraft were slightly damaged due to their excellent piloting skills. After that, six fighter jets swept over the fleet and launched strafing fire on the periphery of the Chinese fleet.

At this moment, all 10 torpedoes hit, and three torpedo boats and two old gunboats turned into balls of fire in an instant. The two ships of Yatsen and Yingrui were damaged. The six Type 96 fighters were like wolves entering a flock of sheep, and more blood dripped on the water surface of Jiangyin.

In a completely one-sided battle, even if three fighters were shot and crashed due to proximity, the battle loss ratio was enough to be boasted about in the military newspapers.

"The first echelon returns, don't fall in love. The second echelon listened to the order, and the goal was 'Pinghai'. After Kaga conveyed the new order, 13 planes quickly flew away from the battlefield, and on the clouds, the 10 Type 99 ships that were quietly approaching exploded in formation, locking the Pinghai in sight.

Kaga didn't let the three fighters go to waste, and from the perspective before one of them crashed, she noticed that there were quite a few officers with military ranks in the command room of the Pinghai. Most likely, the Chinese fleet located its headquarters there.

Even if she had misjudged, the sinking of the flagship of the Chinese fleet would have been enough to quench the Chinese Navy's hopes of fighting.

The roar of the engine was undoubtedly the beginning of a nightmare for the officers and men on the Pinghai, but this nightmare would not last long.

Ten dive bombers withstood anti-aircraft fire and forced their way into the sky over the Pinghai. After the explosion of one Type 99 shipburst, the remaining nine broke through the outer air defense.

"That's not right! All take to the air and retreat! ”

Sensing that something was wrong, Kaga immediately issued an order to calm down the 18 pilots who were in high blood.

A group of 13 Soviet-made fighters launched a surprise attack from the side on the Type 99 ships that were trapped in the air defense circle, giving them a few seconds of opportunity, and once the Japanese carrier-based planes flew over Pinghai, a single bomb could inflict heavy damage on Pinghai.

Due to the lack of time to evade, only four Type 99 shipblasts successfully broke away. Kaga can only precisely control one carrier-based aircraft at a time, and she cannot save more lives.

Originally, it was expected to use the sacrifice of three fighters to rush with the second round of ship explosions and achieve victory. But she did not count the Chinese fighter plane protection, which caused Kaga to lose the first battle.

"Chinese fighters, did not pursue the ship?"

Kaga switched his gaze, only to realize that the first echelon did not know that six ships had fallen into the river, and that Chinese fighters had chased after them. The Type 96 fighter could speed up the evacuation, but the cumbersome Type 97 ship attack was caught up by the Chinese fighter in the blink of an eye.

Kaga, who was standing on the deck and personally commanding the battle, no longer knew what to do. The strength of the Chinese army should be fragile and weak. How could they have relied on stratagem to inflict heavy losses on their aviation power?

"The first echelon is scattered! Disengage at full speed and don't get entangled with the enemy! ”

Lieutenant Iizuka's roar on the public channel had little effect. Even if it was controlled by Kaga, the extreme speed of the Type 97 ship attack was there, and the Soviet-made fighters could easily catch up.

The defeat was decided, and the bow and arrow in Kaga's hand fell on the deck without realizing it.

……

The next morning, Kaga didn't sleep all night and sat in the command room.

"Kaga-sama, Commander Hasegawa's phone number."

"Take it."

Kaga's weak answer was met with the accountability of Lieutenant General Hasegawa on the other end of the phone.

"Miss Kaga, the First Air Combat Air Force, which you are so proud of, really fought a beautiful battle yesterday? Of the 26 carrier-based aircraft dispatched, only 14 returned home wounded, and you paid half of the sacrifice of the carrier-based aircraft in exchange for the sinking of six old ships? If this is the strength of the First Air Battle, please return to Kure Harbor as soon as possible to recuperate. I can't afford to lose that! ”

"It was just a mistake. I despise China's aviation power too much. ”

"Don't explain it to me! You are a first-class aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy, since the enemy's defense is very strong, there is no preparation in advance. Why not change tactics and attack tentatively? Why not wait for the air fleet in Yizhou to wipe out the airfield near Jiangyin in China? Do you want me to teach you this kind of thing?! ”

Ending the call, Kaga smashed the microphone to the ground. "The air force of China! Just a group of Chinese! I'm going to make you pay even more! ”
