Chapter 645: Let the Chinese Imperial Air Force teach you to play night battles
In the dark night sky, there was a dense humming sound.
The German soldiers hiding in the bomb shelters were already shivering, and they could not forget the night bombardment a few months earlier, which directly shattered their souls.
Although it was an oolong of the German Imperial Air Force, these German soldiers believed that if the Chinese Empire, which was more powerful than the German Empire, came to bomb at night, the scale would be far greater than imagined.
Under the control of the lights, the whole of Monrovia was dark, and the German soldiers pinned their hopes on this dark cover, and the bombers and fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force could never find ground targets, and finally had to return in vain.
Shi Lifen still couldn't help but come to the watchtower, although he trusted his own judgment, but for some reason, there was always a faint sadness in his heart.
"It was God who took pity on us and gave us cover for the night!"
Shi Lifen felt that this faint sadness was that God was taking pity on them, so he would let the night attack of the Chinese Imperial Air Force return in vain.
However, at this moment, the sudden sound of breaking the air instantly shattered Shi Lifen's dream.
"Bang bang bang!"
The fighter group of the Imperial Chinese Air Force suddenly shot a large number of flares, and the dark night sky was instantly illuminated.
Groups of flares kept falling from the sky, burning like fireworks under the night sky, illuminating everything in a hundred miles of Monrovia.
"Haha, don't guess, look at the German devils below must be stupid, let's let the Chinese Imperial Air Force teach them how to play night battles! Wowhaha! ”
"Target found!"
"A squadron begins to dive!"
"The second squadron begins to dive!"
……
The buzzing sound rushed to the ground, and thousands of F17 and F18 fighters were divided into more than a dozen squadrons, and under the leadership of the squadron leader, they piloted the fighters to turn to ground targets and began to dive.
Click! Click! Click! Click!
The lower padlocks of the fighters were opened one after another, and the aviation eggs weighing 100 kilograms broke away from the fighters and flew towards the target with the force of inertia.
Each squadron leader had in his hand a map of Monrovia's defense system, and the German army's key anti-aircraft artillery positions, artillery positions, airfields, oil depots, ammunition depots, command posts and other targets were all marked during the daytime air raids.
At this moment, it is only necessary for the squadron leaders of each squadron to lock on to the reference object, and then they can start attacking independently.
With a loud "boom", the leader of the third squadron threw the first aviation bomb egg on the anti-aircraft artillery position of the German right line of defense.
I saw a 100-kilogram aviation egg explode violently, raising a fiery red mushroom cloud, which instantly lit up the sky.
The violent explosion instantly blew up a German twin anti-aircraft gun, sparks burst out, and sand flew up.
The leader of the third squadron was closest to the target and was the first to drop the bomb, while the other pilots of his squadron, who followed, threw aviation bombers at the target position.
"Bang bang!"
A series of explosive eggs exploded like thunder, and the power was incomparable, instantly leveling the German anti-aircraft artillery position and turning it into a sea of fire.
Who said that night light control can avoid air raids?
And who said that fighters cannot fight at night?
Who says the night in Monrovia is safe?
Nima!
Shi Lifen instantly felt that the whole person was not good.
"Damn it! Let the anti-aircraft artillery regiment open fire! ”
Schrifen howled, and the German soldiers also came to their senses in an instant, rushed to the position, and took up arms to counterattack.
More Imperial Chinese Air Force fighters swooped down, reached the target location, and threw aerial bomb eggs.
"Bang bang!"
"Bang bang!"
"Bang bang!"
……
The explosion was incessant, earth-shattering, and a cloud of fiery red mushrooms rose into the sky, and the entire Monrovia fortress was instantly in flames.
German anti-aircraft artillery positions and airfields were the primary targets, and more than half of the Chinese Imperial fighters flew towards these two targets.
At Monrovia Airport, more than 500 German fighter planes were parked on both sides of the runway or on the tarmac, while the German pilots were still sleeping in the barracks.
They were so tired that they were harassed by the Imperial Chinese Air Force throughout the day, and they flew at a high intensity for twelve hours, even the iron people could not stand it.
When the terrible air raid sirens sounded, they didn't even wake up in the first place, until the barracks shook violently, and they were woken up.
"All fighters will take off at once?"
The German pilots who got up in a panic were all furious when they heard a very ridiculous order.
"What? Take-off at night? ”
"What are you kidding?"
"Taking off at night, isn't that killing us?"
These German pilots had not been trained to fly at night, and at this moment they were allowed to take off at night and take to the air to fight, as if they were sent to death.
"Sober me up and tell you that the Imperial Air Force of China is bombing our airfield, and if you can't fly the fighter planes into the air, all the fighters will be destroyed on the ground."
A German officer with a black-and-gray face that could not see clearly rushed in and shouted.
The explosion was getting closer and closer, and through the windows you could see the entire airport in flames, and a large number of German fighters were blown up, and for the pilots, the fighters were their companions, their lives.
Suddenly, some of the German pilots carried out the order, and frantically rushed to their fighters, and they wanted to fly their fighters before they were blown up.
The same remaining German pilots were still standing stupidly, looking at the explosions and fires everywhere outside, indifferent.
Dada!
The dense sound of bullets broke through the air, and even drowned out the sound of explosions, indicating that it was very close to the barracks of the German pilots.
The wooden wall of the barracks was pierced by rows of bullets, and the glass shattered instantly, and the German pilots who were standing stupidly suddenly flew with flesh and blood.
"Ahh
Amid the screams, the surviving German pilots frantically rushed out of the barracks, some looking for resistance, and some scattering and fleeing.
After the bombing of the Imperial Chinese Air Force fighter group, the pilots did not leave immediately, but began to sweep the ground with airborne machine guns.
In the sea of fire, the German soldiers who fled in all directions became the live targets of the fighters, and they were torn to pieces in an instant, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The entire sky of Monrovia was completely taken over by the Imperial Chinese Air Force.
On the ground, the Germans had anti-aircraft artillery to resist, and several German fighters successfully took off, but unfortunately they were useless and could not change the overall situation.
"Report to the general, the airfield is gone, our fighters are all destroyed!"
"What?"
Poof......
Shri vomited blood in anger and was sent to a bomb shelter with the help of Tirpitz and Governor Perrault.
"I'm afraid that our ground positions will be difficult to preserve, but fortunately we have built a large number of bomb shelters, as long as the personnel and materials are withdrawn in time, it will be fine."
Tirpitz persuaded Schriefen that Schriefen was also needed to support the soul of the German army at this time.
It's a pity that Shi Li is old, and this kind of tossing almost kills him.
"Be careful of the coastal direction, I'm afraid the Chinese Imperial Navy is about to attack!"
The severe pain made Schrifen wake up and command Tirpitz weakly.
Tirpitz frowned and said, "Don't worry, the coastline direction can block at least one night!" ”
At this moment, the telephone in the bunker rang, and Governor Perrault answered, and then relayed: "The Imperial Chinese Navy has begun to attack!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the whole earth shake violently, cracks appeared in the ceiling, and mud and sand leaked, causing the entire air-raid shelter to be filled with smoke and miasma.
"This kind of power is undoubtedly their eighteen-inch cannon!"
Tirpitz, who had tasted it once, said with a bitter face.
Shi Lifen asked rhetorically, "Are you sure the coastline position is okay?" ”
Tirpitz nodded: "Our water radium area blockade area is huge, if the Chinese Imperial Navy wants to get close, it must at least eliminate water radium for one night, even if they launch a beach landing operation, it will have to wait until after dawn." ”
This time, under the defense of Tirpitz, the Gulf of Monrovia has strengthened the deployment of water radium, layer after layer, the number of which is as high as 100,000, and the density is unprecedented.
At this moment, on the sea, hundreds of warships of the Chinese Imperial Navy did not dare to directly break into Monrovia Bay, so they could only send a sweep of radium and destroyers to oppose submarines, and the main fleet could only line up in turn from a distance and use large-caliber main guns to carry out fierce shelling of the Monrovia fortress.
The fortress of Monrovia has already been attacked once, so in the past few months, the German army has targeted the repair work of the fortress, avoiding the deployment of heavy artillery and troops on the front line, and preventing the large-caliber main guns of the Chinese Imperial Navy from being turned in the first place.
In this way, although the naval artillery firepower of the Imperial Chinese Navy was fierce, especially the two Imperial-class super battleships, every salvo made the Germans weak and peed their pants, but at night, in the absence of target guidance, it was difficult to cause a large number of casualties to the Germans.
Half an hour later, the Imperial Chinese Air Force fighter group ran out of ammunition and all withdrew, the F17 fighters returned to Roberts Port, and the F18 fighter group returned to their respective aircraft carriers.
It took a long time for the aircraft carriers to recover their fighters at night, and 480 of the 500 fighters came back, losing 20 of them, and when they landed, they lost another 10 planes, and finally recovered 470 of them.
"Where is the bomber group?"
Zhenyuan aircraft carrier, Vice Admiral Chen Jinkui suddenly asked.
The adjutant replied, "I contacted five minutes ago, and the call back arrived two hours later, and it was already dawn by then." ”
Chen Jinkui said with a smile: "This air force is really cowardly, and in the end it gave up night bombing!" ”
According to the original plan, the Chinese Imperial Air Force would dispatch thousands of F20 bomber groups to participate in the night raid bombing of the Monrovia fortress, but in the end, the African Theater Command was still worried that there would be too many accidents at night and that the losses would be too great, so it slowed down the bomber group and delayed the time until around dawn, when the sky was cloudy and it would be much easier.
The adjutant explained: "This can't be blamed on the cowardice of the Air Force, after all, the F20 bomber is expensive, and one top ten F18 carrier-based fighters." It doesn't matter if we lose a carrier-based fighter, at worst, the pilot of this fighter will be wasted, and if the Air Force loses an F20 bomber with seven or eleven personnel on it, the loss will be a lot. ”
Chen Jinkui didn't care about these either, anyway, this wave of attacks basically crushed the Luftwaffe and air defense forces in Monrovia, so he was happy, and he didn't care about the late arrival of the bomber group.
"Okay, it's better if they arrive before dawn, just when we launch a full-scale attack before dawn, attract all the Germans from the bomb shelters and underground, and then let the bomber group directly blow them all to dust, then the results will be greater."
The adjutant smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid Lin Yongsheng can't do it over there, he was crazy just now, the Germans have buried a large amount of water radium around, and all the minesweeping teams of our navy have been dispatched, I heard that they are half dead of exhaustion, and they have not cleared a channel until now." ”
Chen Jinkui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Haha! Now Lao Lin is playing big! Before dawn is the beginning of the general attack, if our side cannot effectively launch a full-scale beach landing operation, it will not be able to play a role in restraining it, and the army's main attack on the line of the Bomi River will encounter a counterattack by the main German army. ”
The adjutant nodded, "That's right! The purpose of this campaign was to prevent the main German army from escaping inland, and if the encirclement of the main German force could not be completed, the hard preparation of these months would be lost. If the war drags on into a protracted war, the imperial court will definitely blame it and hold it accountable. ”
Just as Chen Jinkui judged, at this moment, in the bridge of the battleship of the First Emperor, Lin Yongsheng was already so angry that he was thundering.
"Rubbish! Rubbish! Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! ”
"Let the German army bury dozens of square kilometers of radium under our noses!"
"If you don't open up a safe channel for Lao Tzu before dawn, if Lao Tzu is masturbated because of the delay of the fighter, he will feed all of you to the fish first!"
At this moment, the officers and men of the mine-sweeping fleet are tired like dogs, and they can be said to be lying on their guns.
It was the Navy's destroyer fleet that was responsible for reconnoitring Monrovia Bay, and their contempt for the Germans had led to the recent neglect of the Germans' determination to cloth them with tarpaulin.
But at this moment, Lin Yongsheng was furious, but no matter whose fault it was, the people of the minesweeping team must clear a safe route before dawn, otherwise they would delay the fighter plane and go to the end.
"Captain Liu, this radium speed can't be distributed! There are so many thunders that it is impossible to clear a safe route before dawn! ”
The officer called Team Liu smoked fiercely, and he also looked helpless.
"Death has to be cleaned up! If it doesn't work, just go straight to radium! ”
"Captain, take the lives of your brothers!"
"What can I do! The military order is like a mountain! ”
"Why don't you use Xiao Yang's method and use fish and radium to open the way?"
"Damn, I'm not the captain of the Fish Ray Boat, where did a minesweeper captain get the Fish Ray for you to use?"
"Ask the captain of the Fish Ray Boat Captain?"
"Xiao Fatzi's dog doesn't deal with us on weekdays, and he won't help this time!"
"Captain, you are stupid! Won't you wear the tiger skin of Commander Lin? Anyway, Commander Lin will look at the results, as long as we clear a safe channel on time, we will make a great achievement! ”
"Damn, yes! How could I not have thought of it! Or you're still smart! ”
Captain Liu suddenly turned from worry to joy, but the next moment he immediately came back to his senses.
"Fuck your uncle, who do you say is stupid!"
