Chapter 180: Kill them all
Looking west and east, more than 30 kilometers south of the harbor.
After one last lap around the sinking troop carrier, Du Kang pulled back the joystick and flew south of the Exocet.
After giving the order to return, Du Kang glanced at his watch
It was almost eleven o'clock, and in less than half an hour, the swarm of 40 or so "Exocets" and "Wasps" sank all the troop carriers.
There are also only five troop carriers and three bulk carriers.
At first, Du Kang waited and watched the last one.
It's just that the battle isn't over yet.
As Du Kang began to climb in the Wasp, two Typhoons swooped down with a roar and machine-gunned the lifeboats at sea.
High in the sky, there are still more than a dozen fighter jets hovering, hesitating and refusing to return.
In fact, he was waiting for the leader's long plane to leave.
With the prefect here, many things are not so convenient.
Although Du Kang has never objected to beating Narrows to death, as the acting commander of the Air Wing, he must not leave military regulations and military discipline behind.
"It is forbidden to kill and torture prisoners of war" was a military law enacted by Emperor Shiwu.
Du Kang was not nosy.
Not only did they hate the enemy who started the war, but in a few days, after the fleet returned to the Imperial mainland, the 3rd Carrier Air Wing had nothing to do with Du Kang.
He was only a temporary commander.
Although the official letter of appointment has not yet come down, after this battle is over, Li Yunxiang will definitely stay and continue to partner with Bai Zhizhan.
At that time, there will be nothing to do with Du Kang.
Of course, Du Kang did not hold a grudge, after all, he owed Li Yunxiang a great favor, and he also followed Li Yunxiang to the navy back then.
He just felt that if he didn't do anything, he would leave the 3rd Carrier Air Wing. That's a shame.
As a result, he sneaked into a bomber with a bottle of sweet wine.
The same cannot be said, because on the "Accompanying Beijing", he has the highest military rank, and even the captain is not qualified to care about him.
Fortunately, Li Yunxiang not only did not get angry when he found out, but asked him to go to the front line to command the battle.
Du Kang is not stupid, he knows that Li Yunxiang arranged it this way, so that he wants him to focus on the battle, not to think about useless things, and not to miss a big thing just because he drank a few sips of yellow soup.
As for bombing the convoy, it was not challenging at all.
Because carrier-based planes arrived in batches, one squad at a time, and could only bomb one troop carrier, so after the first two troop carriers were bombed, the enemy on the next few troop carriers had already been prepared, put on life jackets in advance, and prepared lifeboats.
At least three troop carriers lowered their lifeboats before they were bombed.
In addition, there are many enemies who jump into the sea wearing life jackets to escape.
As a result, the convoy was finished, leaving behind a dozen lifeboats and many more enemies in life jackets, none of whom surrendered.
They can't surrender either.
The warships of the Imperial Navy are hundreds of kilometers away, and these enemies want to surrender, but they don't know who to surrender to.
Surrender to bombers flying from the sky?
If it's in the open sea, there's not much to say. It won't be long before the blood of the wounded will attract back the sharks that had been scared away by the explosion. Even if they are not eaten by sharks, they will die of thirst and hunger after a few days, or dozens of days.
But the problem is, it's not the far sea.
The harbor is about thirty kilometers to the north.
Not to mention that the enemy has lifeboats, it is not difficult for a small number of people with good water skills, especially after wearing life jackets, to swim 30 kilometers away.
Don't forget, it's noon, the water temperature is around 10 degrees Celsius, as long as you keep warm, it's not a problem to float out for 30 kilometers.
Under the domination of the desire to survive, many people can burst out with the potential of the far and ordinary world.
According to Du Kang's judgment, those fighters arrived to prevent such a thing from happening.
What's the matter?
The soldiers swam to the port and landed at the port.
Even if it was just some stragglers, it was not a landing at all, at most they were swept up on the beach by the waves.
But the question is, do those who want to find fault care about this?
Having spent a few months in the Third Air Task Force, and having worked with Liu Xiangbin before, it was impossible for Du Kang not to know how much Liu Xiangbin hated Bai Zhizhan. If he wasn't from the army, and he relied on Li Yunxiang's connections, I'm afraid Liu Xiangbin would have driven him away long ago.
Even so, he did not wear the small shoes given by Liu Xiangbin.
Not to mention anything else, in the past few months of the Third Air Task Force, Du Kang's alcohol consumption has increased significantly, and he will feel uncomfortable mixing without drinking a few glasses every day.
If a small number of remnants of the army were defeated and left in that port, Bai Zhizhan threw away the black gauze hat, then it would be a great injustice.
It was precisely because of this that Du Kang felt that it was those fighters sent by Bai Zhizhan who came over and gave the pilots the task of preventing the remnants of the enemy from going to Naqiu Harbor. As for the solution, it is actually very simple, sink the lifeboat and cause some casualties to the enemy by the way.
Without a lifeboat and injured, the probability of floating alive to the port is basically zero.
Thinking of these, Du Kang was also very emotional.
If he had known, he should have climbed into a fighter jet at that time, and he would not have chosen this bomber.
In fact, after Du Kang piloted the "Wasp" into the air, he found that the aviation crew was too busy to load the heading machine gun.
Do not forget that the engine fairing of the "Wasp" had two 8-mm course machine guns on it.
Although it is a little less powerful to deal with enemy aircraft, it is definitely more than enough to deal with lifeboats.
As for the self-defense machine gun, it is mounted at the back of the cockpit and can only fire from the rear, and cannot be used to strafe targets on the sea surface, let alone operate by the machine gunner.
Thinking of this, Du Kang took out the small wine bottle and took another sip.
He likes to drink, it must be genetic, Du Kang's father and grandfather are both alcoholics, and it was given this name after he was drunk.
Perhaps, after going back, I will have to talk to Li Yunxiang to see if there is any possibility of returning to the army.
Even if you are too old to go to the front, you can be an instructor in the rear.
In the flight academy, there is no one to discipline the daily life of the instructors, and as long as you go to work on time, you can drink as much as you want.
On the battleship, let alone drink openly, you usually have to hide and hide, sneaky, and feel like a thief.
To say, it's better to say that the army is better, at least the army's wine is stronger.
The Navy's liquor is probably too heavily influenced by the West, and it has a soft and fluffy feeling, which is not refreshing no matter how you drink it.
Of course, it is not only Du Kang who knows this, but also many people.
Li Yunxiang has proposed more than once at naval banquets that he hopes to learn from the army in terms of drinking taste and get more spirits such as Erguotou.
It's just that Li Yunxiang also admitted that the navy's wine is full of stamina.
After taking another sip, Du Kang remembered that he had forgotten something very important.
Report the results of the attack to the flagship.
The battle is over, it's not a big deal to delay a little time, anyway, the next thing is to turn back, there is no other task.
At this time, the "Imperial Capital" was in the sky.
The fleet of the 1st Carrier Aviation Wing has arrived, the fighters have landed, now it is the turn of the bombers, and finally the slowest torpedo planes.
