Chapter 128: The Bomber That Shocked the World

Koji Suzuki, who was next to Sadao Matsumura, saw the scene of the Eagle being blown up, and his face was also full of disbelief: "Impossible...... It is impossible for the plane to ...... How can an airplane blow up a gunboat? That's impossible...... It is absolutely impossible to ......" as if to hypnotize himself, he muttered to himself over and over again.

Buzz - Buzz -

With a loud noise, the bomber flew back from the riverside and once again whistled over the heads of Matsumura Sadao and others.

This time, in the face of the plane gliding overhead, the Japanese in the dock area were no longer curious and interested, but panicked, fearing that the plane that had just sunk one of their gunboats would suddenly drop a bomb.

It wasn't until the plane flew far away that the hearts of everyone in the dock area who were hanging in mid-air fell to the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

By this time, the gunboats had all sunk into the river, and only groups of Japanese naval soldiers were struggling to pounce and swim towards the riverbank.

Even after seeing the whole process of the Eagle being blown up and sinking, Matsumura Sadao still couldn't believe that the Empire's mighty gunboat could be sunk so easily by a single plane, or that he couldn't convince himself to accept such a cruel fact.

"Your Excellency, this supply is still ...... Do I still need to ship it? A Japanese consulate staff member who supervised the loading of Chinese coolies came over to Matsumura and asked.

"Yaga!" Matsumura Sadao immediately slapped the Japanese consulate staff member to the ground.

Matsumura Sadao didn't answer this question in the end, the Eagle sank, the Cloud Eagle and the Lucky Eagle were in danger, and it was obviously meaningless to reload the ship with supplies, but he was unwilling to admit this extremely cruel fact.

Not only were the Japanese shocked in disbelief, but everyone who saw this scene near the Yangtze River in Wuhan was stunned.

The first reaction of the vast majority of people was that they were dazzled, how could the Japanese gunboat, which was so powerful, that made the entire three towns of Wuhan tremble a moment ago, could be sunk so easily?

And Ge Fu on the balcony on the third floor of his house was also dumbfounded, although he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but he could see it from the violent explosion. The action of the plane diving back and forth. And the scene of the Cloud Eagle frantically fleeing at the end, he vaguely guessed part of the truth.

Colonel Will, who was beside Graford, was much more certain and professional, swallowed his saliva, and said with great difficulty: "The smoke that rose after the violent explosion just now. It was supposed to be caused by the damage to the Japanese gunboat, and now the smoke column has completely disappeared. Also...... That is, the Japanese gunboat should have sunk. ”

Hearing this, Ge Fu's face was full of shock, and he looked at the bombers flying by in the sky in disbelief. muttered: "The Japanese gunboat sank? Could it be that this plane did it? No, it can't be. How could an airplane sink a gunboat? ”

However, judging by the plane's circling and diving maneuvers on the Yangtze River, as well as the timing of the explosion. Most of the sunken Japanese gunboat was done by this plane.

Colonel Will easily deduced this, but he still had no way of convincing himself of it.

Even all over the world. The concept of the bomber is only just emerging, not to mention the specific models and applications. A truly mature bomber would not emerge until the outbreak of World War I, when an explosive breakthrough in aircraft technology appeared. And applied to the battlefield.

Just when everyone was shocked, Wang Mo drove the Aike DH.4 bomber to land again on the playground of the Hubei New Military Academy.

呲呲――呲呲――

There was a violent friction between the plane's pulleys and the ground in the playground, and the resulting drag gradually slowed down the plane, which eventually came to a halt.

Wang Mo did not get off the plane, but signaled to the logistics unit of the Sichuan army, which had been waiting in the playground for a long time, to immediately reload the bomber with bombs and fuel.

Obviously, many people in the military academy ran to a high place just now, and saw the scene of Wang Mo piloting a bomber to sink a Japanese gunboat through a high-powered military telescope.

"My God, this plane is so powerful that even a gunboat the size of an Oriental can be blown and sunk!"

"Wang Dudu's demeanor in piloting a plane to sink a Japanese gunboat is really handsome, oh my God, I want to learn, I must learn to fly an airplane!"

"Haha, the young marshal is right, what power is within the range of the ship's guns, it's all fucking bullshit, the power is within the range of the bomber!"

"I really want to see what the expressions of those little oriental radish heads are now."

"Needless to say, of course they all watched their gunboats sink with sad faces, haha!"

……

Seeing that not only the officers of the Sichuan Army in the military academy, but also the vast majority of the Hubei officers cheered and saluted him, Wang Mo, who was still sitting in the cabin, gave a thumbs up in the direction of the crowd, which immediately attracted more excited and admiring cheers from the officers.

After the bomb and fuel were loaded, Wang Mo started the plane again, pulled it up and rushed into the sky.

Compared with the joy and excitement on Wang Mo's side, the Japanese gunboats were panicked and frightened.

In this era, the air force has not yet really taken shape, so naturally there is no air defense weapon. In the absence of means of defense and counterattack, the Japanese army could think of only one word, and that was -- withdraw!

Fortunately, the Yunying said that after being bombed by planes, it immediately started its gunboat and quickly evacuated outside the waters of the Yangtze River in Wuhan. But the Fuying, which was seriously injured and stranded on the bank of the river, was in trouble, and there was no way, so the Japanese could only step up the repair of the gunboats on the one hand, and prepare for the evacuation of the gunboats on the other.

However, a gunboat stranded on the bank of the river was not much of a threat, and it could easily be captured by ground troops.

Therefore, Wang Mo, who flew the bomber over the Yangtze River again, did not pay attention to the Fuying, but chased after the Yunying, which was fleeing frantically.

Discovering that the fierce god who blew up the Fearful Eagle chased after him again, the Japanese naval officers and men of the Cloud Eagle were all extremely frightened.

The captain of the ship, Kobayashi Nobuyong, was even more panicked and asked Kato Masaga for instructions: "Your Excellency, the speed of the plane is too fast, with the speed of the Cloud Eagle, there is no way to ask it to pursue, what should we do?" ”

Buzz - Buzz -

The roaring noise of the plane was getting closer and closer, and the Japanese soldiers were like the howls of resentful spirits in their ears, and they were all frightened to the point of bloodlessness.

Suddenly, the nose of the plane sank and swooped towards the Cloud Eagle.

"Quick, tactical evasion! Tactical evasion! Kato Masaga yelled in horror.

However, before the Cloud Eagle could make tactical evasive maneuvers, the bomber dived and glided past.

Kato Masaka's pupils shrank a little, and he watched as a huge bomb fell on his head, and then a burst of fire and waves of air submerged him, and then the whole person completely lost consciousness.

Boom -

A violent explosion sounded, and the hull on the right front side of the Yunying seemed to be smashed by a huge hammer, and the river water rushed into the cabin frantically.

The Yunying began to sink slowly, and one after another Japanese naval soldiers jumped into the river like dumplings.

In this case, the sinking of the Cloud Eagle is also a matter of time.

However, perhaps it was impossible to confirm that the Yunying must have sunk in the air, or perhaps out of the evil taste of whipping corpses, Wang Mo drove the bomber around, turned back again, swooped over, and completely sank the Yunying with the last bomb.

After seeing the Yunying sink to the bottom of the river with billowing smoke, Wang Mo shook his wings with satisfaction and drove the bomber back.

Wang Mo's side was finished, and Ge Changchun's side also quickly launched an operation, and with an order, an elite battalion of nearly thousands of soldiers rushed towards the Fuying stranded on the bank of the river.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-

Dada-

Countless rifles and machine guns suddenly fired, and the Japanese naval soldiers of the Fortune Eagle were almost overwhelmed by the swarming Sichuan soldiers.

After the attack, the captain of the Fortune Eagle originally wanted to rely on the naval guns to resist stubbornly, but he did not expect that the Sichuan army's movements were too fast, and the Japanese naval soldiers rushed to the Fortune Eagle before they could react and completely controlled the situation.

At this point, the five river gunboats of the inland river detachment of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet were all wiped out.

This battle not only caused a huge sensation in Hubei and even the whole of China, but also shocked the whole world.

From war, no, perhaps not to war, but only to armed conflict. In terms of the scale of the current Sino-Japanese conflict, it is not at all conspicuous in the world, and what really shocked the countries of the world was the appearance of bombers and the tremendous results achieved.

The epoch-making idea of bombing warships with airplanes has struck the world's minds, and many elite military commanders have a vague sense that the air force will rise rapidly and completely change the pattern of future warfare.

When learning about the bombers, Wilhelm II of Germany excitedly shouted on the spot: "Tell Traun in the Far East that the German Reich needs bombers!" No matter how much it costs, he must get the bombers from the Chinese! ”

At this time, the situation in Europe was already very tense, almost everyone understood that war was inevitable, and every country was preparing for it with all its might.

In terms of naval strength, Germany is undoubtedly a few cuts behind Britain, and Germany has a headache about how to close the disparity in naval strength between the two countries. And in this case, the appearance of a bomber in China in the Far East that can blow up and sink warships does not make Germany excited.

Although the bomber may not have a long range and may not be able to bomb warships at sea from a distance, there is a confidence in Germany to continue to improve this bomber. As long as a longer range and more powerful bomb could be developed, it would be impossible to destroy Britain's mighty naval fleet with a huge bomber fleet.

If Germany can think of this, the British side will not be unexpected. Therefore, the British Cabinet of Ministers also quickly made a decision to make every effort to acquire this bomber technology.

Like sharks smelling fishy, representatives of the great powers poured into Wuhan, all targeting the bombers that had emerged. (To be continued.) ), the house of reading! Unique URL:
