When the Japanese bomber group really wanted to run, it was too late.

When these heavy aerial bombs approached an altitude of 3,000 meters, nearly 100 750-kilogram bombs, as if they had ignited large fireworks, exploded in volleys one after another, and with the continuous dispersion of huge sound waves, more than 20,000 fragments of shrapnel were scattered in the airspace of several tens of square kilometers.

In an instant, in the sky above Songhu, a gorgeous and cold field of death was formed.

Most of the enemy planes were enveloped in the forbidden area, and the Japanese army's proud Type 96 land attack and Iraqi-style heavy violence were photographed like swatting flies, and even the bombers outside the restricted area were hit by one or two "stray bullets", which also exploded, triggering a new round of life and death speed.

At this time, the Japanese fighters that took off from the aircraft carrier happened to fly over Songhu, and when they saw such a spectacular and tragic scene, they were all frightened and screamed.

In the face of such a tragic explosion in the air, they couldn't help but want to retreat immediately.

Fortunately, they are all tried and tested "samurai", and this little scene does not deter their samurai spirit.

Even if you don't need to count it, you know that the bomber group suffered heavy losses, and the truth is often even more cruel, a total of 50 or 60 bombers were blown up, and another 70 or 80 were injured.

The newly baked box-shaped tactics were a complete failure.

But the battlefield is the battlefield, and there is no room for chivalry.

Nearly 300 Chinese fighters roared down from the sky, and their target was the half-disabled Japanese bomber group.

In just one encounter, dozens of enemy aircraft were shot down.

The Japanese carrier-based aircraft group was also furious, and it was also blind to no one, and regardless of the tragedy of the battle and the danger of a melee between the enemy and us, it crashed headlong into the chaotic airspace like a red-eyed wild boar.

I don't know if the Huaxia Air Force had a grudge against the Japanese bomber group, completely ignoring the threat of carrier-based aircraft, and singled out the Japanese bombers to fight.

With the assistance of ground antiaircraft artillery units, after getting rid of the pursuit of Japanese fighters, the Chinese fighters often regained their altitude and launched another dive attack, and so on.

With such a crazy way of fighting, the Japanese bomber group was really afraid.

The enemy planes threw away their bombs one after another and prepared to return one by one, but the Huaxia Air Force was not willing to let them escape easily, and kept chasing and fighting, even if they were hit by the Japanese carrier-based planes, they would continue to attack their bombers.

In this frantic pursuit, the Japanese bombers were shot down one after another, and the center of the air battle began to deviate, moving from the sky over Songhu to Hangzhou Bay, and later from Hangzhou Bay, to the sky over Hangzhou, until this time, most of the Japanese bombers have been completely annihilated.

The remaining dozens of Japanese bombers flew in a hurry in the direction of Taiwan.

The carrier-based planes escorting them also returned one after another, because the Huaxia fighters had already begun to withdraw and no longer continued the pursuit.

Because the ground forces of the Japanese army, a landing operation has been launched.

With the long-distance pursuit of the Huaxia Air Force, the air supremacy over Songhu has been gradually seized by the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and the Japanese army's 100,000 reinforcements have begun an amphibious landing, while the heavy artillery units in Huaxia have been hit by the double blow of naval guns and fighters, and there is nothing to be done about this large-scale landing.

At this time, the Huaxia Air Force also reached a limit.

Faced with the challenge of more than 200 carrier-based aircraft, even if they wanted to regain air supremacy, they did not have the ability to do so, so they had to return en masse.

Fortunately, the Nanjing Air Force had already made preparations, and by replacing the pilots of the second echelon without changing the planes, they would put the pilots of the second echelon into positions and compete with the Japanese planes again, compete for air supremacy over Songhu, go all out to suppress the crazy momentum of the Japanese landing, and strive to drive them out to sea together with the ground troops.

At 11:24 a.m., the anti-landing war officially began.

Due to the lack of protection from the air force, hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops had to withstand the double bombardment of naval guns and fighter planes, and use their flesh and blood to build a new Great Wall of steel.

In Shanghai's Pudong, Yuepu, Luodian, Baoshan, Wusongkou and other strategic places, more than 200,000 Japanese troops fought to the death, and the Chinese and Japanese soldiers fell in pieces, and the entire Songhu battlefield became the second Verdun.

Many war correspondents in Western countries, while praying for God's forgiveness, truthfully reported the brutality of the battlefield, and branded the war with a unique symbol - the "flesh mill" of the Far East.

James Jones, a reporter for the Washington Post, sent a telegram to the newspaper's headquarters about "Shanghai, a beautiful modern city, that has become very dangerous now," that "whether you are yellow or white, as long as you are here for a day, you must ask God for forgiveness," and "because you don't know when you were killed by a fragment falling from the sky."

"However, compared with the battlefield at Wusongkou, the downtown area of Shanghai is simply a paradise, which has become a paradise for the devil", "Only three short hours have passed since the landing operation of the Japanese army, and the pale and neurotic Chinese officers have already called up citizens to devote themselves to the flesh mill for the third time."

The fierce air battle in the morning certainly caused the Japanese army's long-range bombers to be almost completely lost, but Huaxia's own fighters also suffered heavy losses.

After receiving the news of the defeat and retreat of the Chinese Army in Wusongkou, Lao Jiang and others also went crazy, so they had to desperately let the air force units in various places urgently reinforce the Songhu battlefield, and even the air force units in Wuhan and Xuzhou were concentrated on the Shanghai battlefield one by one.

It was not until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon that the Nanjing Air Force, which had recovered its breath, began to launch a counterattack against the enemy planes in the Songhu area.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late, the ground forces of the Japanese army had already established dense air defense positions, and the most fatal thing was the establishment of a temporary field airfield in the Pudong area, which was specially used by the Third Flying Regiment, so they still had to face the Japanese army aviation fighters.

The 200 fighters that Nanjing had barely managed to muster with great effort were only able to fight with the Japanese carrier-based planes over Songhu, and they were only on par, and they could not win or lose for a while.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the defeat of the Huaxia Air Force is imminent.

At such a critical moment, reinforcements from all over the country have arrived, although there are only dozens of fighters, and most of them are Hawker III. or Leopard I fighters, but at this time there is not much to worry about, seeing that the Japanese army is about to break through the Songhu defense line.

Major General Liu decided to personally lead the team into the battle.

This guy decided to repeat the old tricks, and still used the tactic of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", and went straight to the combined fleet that attacked the Japanese army.

Therefore, more than 50 Flying Bear bombers were also dispatched together, and thanks to the navigation of the air defense radar network, this vulnerable group of sneak attack planes was able to quietly bypass the huge combat area and sneak attack the Japanese battle group that jumped the most happily, and they were shelling the defensive positions in China.

Well-known battleships such as Mutsu and Nagato were listed one by one.

Mutsu and Nagato are sister ships, both belong to the "Nagato-class" battleships, and the No. 1 ship is the Nagato, named after the old Nagato country, the initial design was completed in 1916, and based on the experience of the Battle of Jutland, Dr. Hiraga Jean presided over the modification.

In August 1917, construction began at the Kure Naval Yard in Hiroshima, Japan.

In November 1920, the ship was completed and delivered at a cost of 45 million yen.

Before the launch of the battleship "Yamato" in 1940, for 20 years, the Nagato-class battleship has been the flagship of the United Fleet, and it is also the symbol of Japan's "Yamato soul".

The Nagato-class battleship is 224.9 meters long, 34.59 meters wide, 9.5 meters draft, 39,200 tons of displacement, 42,800 tons of full load, using fuel oil and coal mixed fuel, with a maximum power of 82,000 horsepower, a practical speed of 25.3 knots, a cruising range of 8,650 nautical miles, and a rated crew of 1,335 people.

The ship has 4 twin 410 mm caliber / L45 main guns, 18 single 140 mm / L50 secondary guns, with 4 twin 127 mm / L40 anti-aircraft guns, and 10 twin 25 mm anti-aircraft guns, the turret armor thickness is 457 mm, while the deck is 70-127 mm thin.

In the face of such a terrifying Nagato-class battleship, not to mention a sneak attack, it is clearly there, let the ordinary Chinese air force bomb it casually, and for a while, it will not be withdrawn, if this ship is fully firepowered, it will be like a super steel hedgehog, or a nearly invincible war fortress.

Moreover, the firing range of the ship's main guns is also extremely terrifying, when using a standard bullet weighing 1.02 tons, the maximum firing range is 38.73 kilometers, and when using a light bullet of 0.38 tons, its range is close to 60 kilometers, which is also one of the reasons why the heavy artillery group of the Chinese Army is suppressed.

If you want to sink such a tricky battleship, ordinary bombs are of little use.

However, Major General Liu had ant robots in hand, and used the raw materials of the Jinling Arsenal to quickly create 1,800 kg of super aerial bombs, and in order to prevent the power of these bombs from being insufficient, he also let the ants add some compressed air.

Once it explodes, it is three points sharper than a normal bomb.

The Japanese lookouts who were tied to the mast thought that the reinforcements were flying from aircraft carriers in the depths of the East China Sea, and they did not react for a while, until the Flying Bear bombers launched a dive bombing, and they realized that the situation was wrong, so they hurriedly sounded the air defense alarm.

It's a pity that all the idle sailors before were busy carrying the shells of the ship's guns.

What's more, the Japanese army had already gained air supremacy, and they did not expect the enemy to launch an air attack at this time, and they had no time to run to the gun position in a hurry, so they had to watch the Chinese fighters roar over.

Fortunately, there were a large number of ships accompanying Nagato and Mutsu, the total number of which was as high as 37, especially the fast and fierce destroyers, and the cruisers, which claimed to be all-rounders, were even more agile and reacted sharply, and quickly set up an air defense net around the battleships.

However, it was still not possible to curb the bomber dive.

Major General Liu Yicheng's fighter was modified from the Phantom mecha, so it was the most powerful all-round fighter, so he served as the leader of the bomber group and became the first fighter to launch a dive attack.

The dive speed of the fighter was very fast, descending from an altitude of 5,000 meters to 2,000 meters in just 3 minutes and 15 seconds.

Not only is the bending chimney, the distinctive symbol of the Nagato, visible, but even the foremast near the chimney can be seen in full view, and the Japanese lookout on it is watching the end in horror.

If you dive any further, the bomber group will be planted in the fire net of the enemy ships.

As soon as the weight of 1,800 kilograms was gone, the bomber group suddenly became much lighter, and the plane group pulled up the height in a V-shape and fled to the northwest land.

When the gravity-accelerated bombshell flew over a vertical distance of 2,000 meters, it only took more than one minute for it to fall, and the speed of its fall had already exceeded the speed of sound, and "Nagato" and "Mutsu" only barely moved one or two positions in the process of desperately struggling.

You must know that these huge steel monsters are as long as more than 200 meters, even if they move one or two positions, they look as if they have not moved, and dozens of bombs roared and crashed into the Japanese fleet.

In an instant, several enemy ships exploded and caught fire, stirring up a monstrous wave of sea water.

Due to the height of the bomb, the time was slightly too long, and the battleship itself did not turn off the fire, so when encountering an air attack, the hull itself could move a little bit.

This little difference resulted in nearly fifty bombshells, of which only seven or eight hit.

Nagato was hit by three and Mutsu was hit by four, plunging the two battleships into a sea of fire, and the entire deck was completely deformed, and the sailors and crews suffered heavy casualties, and the speed of the ship dropped by half sharply.

However, what is even more terrifying is that there are more than a dozen near-misses.

These 1,800-kilogram misses were actually no worse than direct hits, not only causing the battleship's underwater armor to fall off, but also causing dozens of sealed cabins to be flooded in large quantities, as well as the deformation of the propeller in the tail, especially the "Mutsu" battleship, the starboard side has been tilted by about 15 degrees.

Whether these two sister ships can float back to the Japanese mainland really requires a little luck.
