Seeing that the group of 10 fighters led by Wei Xu arrived in time, Luo Dong, who was fleeing in embarrassment, laughed excitedly: "Wei Xu, you bastard, you're finally here!" Oriental little radish heads, just now I chased you Grandpa Luo so coolly, now it's your Grandpa Luo's turn to fight back! ”

Immediately, Luo Dong manipulated the fighter plane to make a difficult 180-degree turn to the left, and reflexively pounced on the group of Japanese planes that were chasing him just now. Four other Fokker DR.1 fighters accompanying Luo Dong also followed closely behind Luo Dong and launched a counteroffensive against the Japanese seaplanes.

Wei Xu, who had just arrived with the fighter group, understood what Luo Dong meant as soon as he saw Luo Dong's reflexive action of rushing towards the Japanese plane, so he tilted his left wing and rushed towards the Japanese plane group that had planned to intercept Luo Dong and others.

Fierce air battles soon broke out, with 15 Fokker DR.1 fighters and more than 30 seaplanes engaged in fierce combat in the air.

Although the Fokker DR of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army. The 1 fighter was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, but it was far superior to the Japanese seaplanes in terms of flight flexibility, stability, and speed. More importantly, the Fokker fighter can be controlled by the pilot to shoot in the nose, which is not only extremely convenient, but also greatly accurate, and by no means comparable to the Japanese seaplane carried in the back seat of the cabin and controlled by the machine gunner.

The battle was almost one-sided, and it was precisely the Japanese planes that were overwhelmingly superior in numbers that were crushed.

As the air battle progressed, Japanese planes were constantly destroyed and fell, falling into the sea one after another like dumplings. Lucky enough people were forced to land and be towed back to the carrier for emergency repairs or to replace the injured pilot.

"How...... How could it be like this? How can the 42 seaplanes of the air force be so vulnerable, aren't there only 15 planes in China, why haven't the air forces shot down a single one so far? Kato Dingyoshi watched in amazement as the Naval Air Force's huge fleet of planes was strangled one by one, and even if he witnessed it with his own eyes at this moment, he could not believe such a one-sided battle.

Shimohira Eitaro on the side was completely stupid, in his original imagination. It should be the fleet of the Imperial Air Force that besieges the planes of China from all sides, and then easily strangles them. But now, ...... Now how does it seem that he sees the fleet of the Imperial Air Force being frantically pursued by the China planes?

Luo Dong drove the fighter jets to rush wildly, always rushing towards the place where the Japanese planes were the most. It was often extremely thrilling to avoid the siege of the Japanese planes, and then frantically strafe the Japanese planes. It's just that Luo Dong's wingman suffered, and he worked hard to follow his footsteps, and he had to go to great lengths to help him cover.

However, Luo Dong is obviously crazy. While piloting the fighter jet to wantonly slaughter the Japanese plane, he shouted excitedly: "Wow - Oriental little radish heads, a few more, your grandfather Luo's machine gun has just been hot, make sure to go down to a plane with a shuttle!" ”

The lethality of the Fokker DR.1 fighter was really amazing, and the Japanese aircraft group was able to counterattack a little by virtue of the large number of people at the beginning of the air battle, but as the air battle progressed, the casualties of the Japanese aircraft gradually increased, and the Japanese aircraft group could not even find a chance to counterattack, and only scattered and fled.

Just when Wei Xu and Luo Dong led the fighter group to pursue the scattered and fleeing Japanese aircraft group. The bomber formations of the first group of air raid aircraft also rushed over the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy.

The Eco DH.4 bomber is a two-wing, two-seat model, and the appearance is very different from the three-wing single-seat Fokker DR.1 fighter, so the officers of the Japanese Navy can still distinguish it at a glance.

"Your Excellency General, this is most likely a group of bombers of the Chinese people, what should we do?" Shimohira Eihachiro panicked and asked Kato for instructions.

Kato Dingji was also panicked, and it was too late to start the warships at this time, except for the scattered and fleeing seaplanes that were currently being pursued, the Second Fleet had no other means of air defense.

Although the Shina bomber group may not have been able to acquire a heavy-tonnage capital ship such as the "Zhoufang", the old coastal defense ships such as the Okinoshima and Mijima will absolutely not be able to withstand the bombing.

Kato Dingyoshi replied to Shimohira Eihachiro, and he didn't know how to answer. He just stared at the group of bombers that were coming straight in. It looked as if he was able to stop the bomber group from diving with his mind.

"Your Excellency General, the group of bombers in China is about to dive and bomb, please enter the command cabin immediately and temporarily avoid the bombing of the people of China!" Shimohira Eihachiro anxiously persuaded Kato Dingyoshi.

Perhaps it was really Kato's idea that played a role. The targets of the bomber group's dive bombing were not coastal defense ships, light cruisers, and destroyers, which were the most easily destroyed by the Japanese Second Fleet, but Japanese seaplanes that had been forced to land for various reasons, as well as seaplane transport carriers such as the "Wakanomiya Maru."

One after another, the Eco DH.4 bombers launched dive bombing, bomb after bomb slammed into the remnants of the Japanese Air Force's seaplanes and transport carriers.

Boom-boom-boom

Violent explosions rang out one after another, and the bombs dropped by the unarmored Japanese seaplanes and transport carriers were absolutely only blown into parts.

At this moment, the air force of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy can be regarded as a virtual existence.

However. Kato Dingji not only did not have the slightest frustration, but laughed out loud: "Haha...... Xia Pingjun, it seems that the people of China are really a group of pigs, so many coastal defense ships, light cruisers and destroyers of greater value are not bombed, but they should bomb seaplanes and transport ships that are not worth mentioning, it is really ridiculous! ”

Shimohira Eitaro also laughed in agreement and said, "Shina is a country without a navy, how can Shina know the value of warships?" Perhaps in the eyes of the Chinese people, those seaplanes were much more important than warships. ”

The stupid people of China do not understand at all that a country without a navy can never become a real power!

Kato Dingji smiled contemptuously, waved his hand, and said: "Order, all ships immediately add coal to make fires, start warships, and temporarily evacuate to the sea off Jiaozhou Bay, away from the range of the Chinese bombers." ”

Shimohira Eitaro asked puzzledly: "Your Excellency, since the bombers of the people of China have already gone to bomb seaplanes and transport ships, then why are we in a hurry to evacuate to the sea off Jiaozhou Bay?" ”

Kato shook his head. said: "Xia Pingjun, don't forget, the people of China have hundreds of bombers. Now there are only 20 bombers here, and there are 80 that I don't know ......."

Kato's words came to an abrupt end. The whole person stared blankly at the sky in the distance to the west, and his mouth remained open and speechless, motionless.

Shimohira Eitaro turned his head to follow Kato Dingyoshi's gaze, and the scene in his sight made the pupils of his eyes shrink a little, and the blood on his face faded. Trembling in horror, he said, "Zhi...... Boom ...... China Bomber swarm! ”

I saw that in the far west where the sea and the sky met, an incomparably huge metal cloud gradually emerged, and the black pressure approached the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy, and an almost suffocating sense of oppression came to my face.

Kato Dingji reacted suddenly, and roared loudly: "Quick, order all ships to immediately evacuate the waters of Jiaozhou Bay at full speed, and evacuate at full speed!" ”

With the order to evacuate at full speed from Kato Dingyoshi, the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy quickly refueled coal and started fires and activated the main steam engines of warships. Billowing smoke began to pour out of the huge towering chimneys, and dozens of long columns of smoke appeared all over the sea at once.

However, the evacuation of the ships of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy was still too slow, and the main steam engines had just begun to be launched, and the second batch of 80 bombers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance had already rushed to the sky above the Japanese fleet and launched a dive bombing of the Japanese ships in formation.

In the last unsuccessful air raid against the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy, Wang Mo told the Blue Eagle Flying Group which type of warship was easier to blow up, and asked the personnel of the Special Service Department to give a general introduction to the appearance and size and characteristics of various types of warships of the Japanese army.

Among the ships of the Japanese Navy's Second Fleet at present, the heavy tonnage main warships such as the Shuho, Iwami, and Tango, as well as armored cruisers such as the Iwate, Yakumo, and Tokiwa. There are also protective cruisers such as Chitose, Akitsuzu, Chiyoda, and Tone, all of which have thick armor, and they are not at all easily damaged and blown up by the bombs carried by the Eco DH.4 bombers.

Therefore, in order to achieve the greatest results, Wang Mo specially instructed the Blue Eagle Flying Group to mainly focus on ships with weak armor, such as coastal defense ships, light cruisers, and destroyers. Thus inflicting maximum damage on the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy.

Coastal defense ship is a type of ship classification that specifically refers to the Japanese Navy, which is the Japanese Navy's downgrading of the old main battleships and cruisers to serve as coastal defense and training missions.

A light cruiser was generally used for patrolling and breaking diplomatic relations, and could not participate in large naval battles with the participation of battleships, because its weak armor was definitely a one-shot sink.

The destroyer is actually an upgraded version of the torpedo boat, originally designed to deal with torpedo boats, and the British called it the "torpedo boat destroyer". Abbreviated as "Destroyer". Because of the translation, China originally translated it as "destroyer", and this title has been used to this day. During World War I, most of these ships had a displacement of only about 1,000 tons, and their armor was naturally very weak.

Although these three types of ships are not worth mentioning at all for the Western powers, and hundreds or hundreds of ships can be built casually, for the current Japanese Navy, these ships are also a very important strength component of their fleet.

As 80 bombers descended and bombed in small groups, ships of the Japanese Navy's Second Fleet were constantly hit by bombs dropped in the air.

Boom-boom-boom

The fierce bombing continued, and high columns of water could be seen everywhere on the sea, and the Japanese ships that were damaged and blown up, and even some destroyers with weak armor and small tonnage were violently blown in two, and countless Japanese naval soldiers sank to the bottom of the sea with the ships that were blown up.

The tragic situation of the bombing of various ships made Kato Dingyoshi feel as if his heart had been slashed with a thousand eight hundred knives. This is all the ships that all the people of the Great Japanese Empire have tightened their belts, and His Majesty the Emperor has even worked hard to save up on food and clothing, and now it is so easily destroyed by the Chinese people.

"Quick, let the ships evacuate the range of the Chinese bombers as soon as possible!" Kato Dingyoshi gritted his teeth and roared, watching the Japanese ships sink with billowing smoke, his heart dripping blood. (To be continued.) )
