23rd Battle of Yingtian (4)
Eiji Kondo had already experienced the Battle of Wuhan, so he still had some foresight for the current defeat in the air war. "Commander of the Uemura Brigade, the failure of Dashui Dazuo still has their suffering. Don't you see? There were many small rockets flying from a distance, and the planes that hit the big water brigade could not win the battle even if they were replaced by others. ”
"Why?" Mikio Uemura is an army commander, and of course he does not know as well as Eiji Kondo about the complex weapons of air and naval warfare.
Eiji Kondo explained to him: "As far as our navy knows, these small rockets are an advanced weapon, not only powerful in attack, but also able to turn. Until these small rockets are cracked, China's air force will not be able to defeat. ”
"So, what's the name of these little rockets?" Kamimura asked again.
"The Chinese call it a missile, let's call it a missile." Our 95-1 fighters have not even installed machine guns, but Chinese fighters have installed missiles, how can this battle be fought? I'm afraid that even General Yamamoto Fifty-six is coming, and I am afraid that this battle will not be won! ”
"Oh-" Kamimura said with a deep sigh, "so what do we do?" ”
Eiji Kondo cried and frowned and said: "I estimate that the Chinese Air Force will launch an air raid in the next step, so let's think about how to deal with China's air raid!" ”
While he was talking, the air raids of the Chinese army really came.
The Japanese fighters fled, and at this moment the sky over Dongting Lake became the world of the Chinese Air Force.
These Yi-15 and Yi-16 fighters, each of which could carry 50 kg to 100 kg of aerial bombs, roared and dropped these bombs mercilessly on the 11 Japanese troops on the lake.
"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-" The sky-high column of water rose into the air, and these 25-kilogram bombs and 50-kilogram bombs fell into the water, raising a column of water of several tens of meters. In this huge column of water, the fish and shrimp that were killed and the silt in the lake were tossed to the surface of the water with the water column.
The Japanese soldiers on the ship were panicked, because there were so many people on board, so many soldiers had no place to hide.
Eiji Kondo also issued a loud order: "All anti-aircraft weapons, all shoot-shoot-"
As a result, all the ship's heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and small guns all shot into the sky, forming an anti-air fire network.
In the contest between heaven and earth, the sky seems to have an absolute advantage.
A 25-kilogram bomb exploded next to a warship. Although the huge column of water did not blow up the warship, it swept dozens of Japanese soldiers on board into the water, and the Japanese soldiers struggled and fluttered in the water. Fortunately, the water was not too deep, and some of them could reach the silt at the bottom of the lake while standing, and if the water was deeper, I am afraid that most of the Japanese officers and soldiers would have drowned.
"Da ......" from the Yi-15, Yi-16 fighters and then tilted down the dense bullets.
These Japanese soldiers, who did not drown, were killed many more at once. The 7.62 mm bullet mercilessly harvested the lives of these Japanese soldiers, and the blood stained the water of the nearby lake red at once.
With a "boom," there was a 25-kilogram bomb, which was dropped directly on a small warship. A large number of Japanese soldiers on the warship were killed in one fell swoop, and those who were not killed were swept into the lake by the shock wave at once.
For a while, the corpses killed in the lake, the living and wounded Japanese soldiers helplessly, and the somewhat deranged Japanese soldiers who were not injured and tormented by the fear of death were shouting loudly: "Ambulance team, ambulance team--health soldiers, health soldiers-"
The desperate, hoarse cries seemed so faint in the explosion of the aerial bombs.
When the planes of the national army were over, they then pulled up on their toes, sang cheerful songs, and went home to rest. It was the turn of the planes of the Southern Expeditionary Army to take the stage.
Four large Y-8-transport planes slowly descended from high altitude. Of course, Xu Da had already given instructions to the Y-8 transport plane, which had to be at least 3,000 meters higher than the guns and heavy machine guns on the gunboats.
The small guns, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns of the Japanese ships were still bombarding and firing into the sky, counting on these weapons to contain the air raids of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
However, the range of these weapons was limited, and the dense bullets arced through the air before falling into the already disturbed lake.
The Y-8-transport plane was originally an airplane for transporting goods, but since Han Xing designed the bomb-dropping assembly line, the Y-8-transport plane has become a bomber. The minimum flight speed of the Y-8 transport aircraft is 248 km / h, that is, it can fly 68 meters per second, and the bombardier only needs to drop one aerial bomb per second, so a 70-meter-wide unmanned zone is formed.
The bomb volume of the Y-8 transport aircraft cannot be calculated in terms of 100 kilograms, they can be calculated in terms of tonnage. Because the maximum load capacity of the Y-8 transport plane is 20 tons, the load bomb capacity designed for it by Hanhang is 15 to 18 tons, and the large cargo hold is filled with bombs on the assembly line, just like a bomb warehouse.
The bomb-dropping tactics of the Y-8 transport planes were also very simple, that is, to demarcate a bombing area along the Japanese "mixed fleet" and a bombing line of 70 to 80 meters, and then move it out again and again like a plough until the Japanese army had completely bombed this area.
This is similar to the carpet bombing of country U, and strive to give it all over again.
"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-" Aerial bombs one after another exploded around the Japanese army's "mixed fleet" in an orderly manner.
Coming up first, there were also Japanese light weapons firing at the air, and in the end, even the sporadic sound of shooting could not be heard. The Japanese army had abandoned this useless anti-aircraft shooting.
The Y-8 transport plane ran out of bombs, then flashed to the side to rest, the next one came again, and then the previous one had not yet finished bombing the area, and then continued the unfinished work.
At this time, there was another cheer on the shore, and the officers and soldiers of the 70th Army and the Southern Expeditionary Army watched another good show.
When the 70th Army saw this scene, they were no longer as excited as they had just been, and they felt as if this victory was already an old lady blowing her nose - clutching her inside. Some even forgot the pain after the scars, and shouted loudly when they got the cheap sales: "Big brothers of the plane, take it easy, leave us a little, and our infantry." "Leave a seed for little Japan, don't give them a dead finish." If they are gone, who will we fight with? ”
The four Y-8 transport planes all dropped their bombs, and then, singing cheerful songs, also flew back to the Hengyang base to rest.
At this time, there was a deathly silence on Dongting Lake. The lake was littered with the corpses of Japanese officers and soldiers, as well as crimson blood. Then there are the bombed motorboats, tin boats, and those small warships. There are really not many of them, and most of them have either been blown up and sunk, or they have been blown up so that they can't move.
Due to the shallow water of Dongting Lake, the warships that were sunk by the bombing were still poked there and could not sink into the water. Many officers and soldiers who were not killed by the bombing still swam towards them. In a short time the ship was full of wounded soldiers, a pile here, a pile there, but much more spacious than when they first came.
It is really a fish over a thousand layers of nets, and there are big fish in the nets, and under such intensive bombardment by the Southern Expeditionary Air Force, there are actually some who are safe and sound. The flagship of the 11th Sentai "Qifeng" is one of the lucky ships, and of course it is inseparable from the skill of the pilot, who dodged left and right to dodge the air attack of powerful and dense aerial bombs.
Uemura was very embarrassed at this time, and his head was broken, which was hit by a small piece of shrapnel. Although he had already been bandaged, blood was still oozing through the bandage. Then there was the fact that his brand new uniform was very dirty, stained by the stirring waters of the lake.
Kamimura Kamio's mood was very bad at this time, he was bombed by the Chinese Air Force just now, and he was still praying vigorously: "Emperor bless, Emperor bless, don't up, don't up." "It's a bit of a fog in the head.
At this time, he regained his strength, like a frightened beast, and regained his wildness, and he said to Eiji Kondo: "Commander Eiji Kondo, what shall we do?" What are we going to do? ”
Eiji Kondo was no better at this moment, he was injured in the shoulder and couldn't move, so even his arm hurt, and his arm and shoulder were wrapped in a thick bandage. The clothes were also dirty, and they were also stained by the splashing water.
Eiji Kondo seemed a little old-fashioned at this time, because he had already experienced such a scene, so he said to Uemura Mikio: "The mission of our navy is to transport troops and provide fire support. As for what to do, that's a matter for your Army. ”
"That's good!" Kamimura gritted his teeth and said, "Our 3rd Division is a team of heroes, even if we fight to the last person, we can't insult our title of hero." Ask Commander Eiji Kondo to arrange fire support! ”
Eiji Kondo said, "Okay! He shouted to the side: "Big male staff officer." ”
At this time, Staff Officer Xiaozheng ran over and stood aside respectfully.
"Where's the big male staff officer?" Eiji Kondo asked.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the big male staff officer has been killed." Staff Officer Xiaozheng said cautiously.
Eiji Kondo faintly felt a heartache. In the morning, the male staff officer was still standing majestically by his side, helping him take care of everything in the army. But just now, an enemy bomb flew, and in order to protect himself, the big man bravely protected his body with his body.
It's okay to be there, but the big man paid the price of his life.
Eiji Kondo sensed that Oio was not dead yet, and he was standing by his side.
