[109] The Xinyang retreated

Ma Jizhuang jumped up comically from the mud after panting, and his fingers almost poked the nose of the signal soldier: "Send a telegram to inform Captain Qi Min that the Xinyang and the battalion slogan will lead the gunboat formation away from the mouth of the Yangtze River to the eastern sea to avoid air raids, and then retreat south." Now that the air raid on our wharf has been successful, the Shenjiamen wharf is no longer safe, so they are told to go far from the shore to the east, drive southward, and retreat to Dachen Island to stand by. ”

After Ma Jizhuang finished speaking, he wiped the cold sweat on his head with his hand, and stared at the smoke-filled dock in the distance in despair, and suddenly, he seemed to have some spirit:

"Hurry up and bring people to fight the fire, rescue the ship, there is no delay, if the shipwreck is called to block the dock, it will be bad, this is how to retreat the hundreds of thousands of people on the island, this is how to transport supplies in the future!"

The adjutants listened to Ma Jizhuang's orders and ran to carry out the order one after another, leaving the commander of the Kuomintang First Fleet standing on this rocky knoll in a daze, with remorse and chagrin.

When the Kuomintang First Fleet was in chaos, the Second Air Regiment arrived at this moment, and threw bombs into the ships anchored in the dock as if adding fuel to the fire.

It's not that the Kuomintang army doesn't want air defense, but it has never planned to do air defense in the first place, and it thought that the island secession tactics were impregnable, but now in the air raids of our army, this monkey's ass was completely exposed.

After the Northern Capital Headquarters received the telegram on the latest battle situation at the Qingdao base, all the leaders were unabashedly overjoyed.

"This two comrades, Han Tingfeng and Dong Chuncai, have a very good appetite, they ate half of the old Jiang Xiao's fleet at once, if the next battle situation can develop according to this situation, our steps to liberate the coastal areas can be greatly accelerated, and the battle to liberate Taiwan can start ahead of schedule, Mr. Zhu, should you say yes?" The chairman said happily with a cigarette in his left hand and a war report in his right hand.

Mr. Zhu showed his simple smile, squinted and smiled: "This expression means that it is wanted, but this battle is not over yet, and when the battle is over, I will go to Qingdao to celebrate their achievements." ”

Xiao Qiang followed with a smirk, and a hanging heart was also put down, two to nine, it was indeed a great battle of annihilation, considering that the 608 boats and 610 boats had no casualties, it was a remarkable achievement, it can be said that it was completely one-sided.

Mr. Nie looked at the battle report carefully and asked, "I don't know if their retreat route is safe now, does the enemy have any chasing troops?" The front was all small gunboats, and once they encountered the enemy's large ships, I was afraid that there would be a hard battle. ”

Xu Xiang, the former chief of staff, said: "At this time, the air force in Puhai should have arrived soon, and when the time comes, the sky will be bombed like this, and I see that the enemy is too busy to take care of himself, and our navy has a very high security factor." ”

The chairman nodded with a smile and got up to say goodbye: "It's really a last resort, I still have a lot of documents to read, and then let Xiaoqiang accompany you old guys here on behalf of me, I'll go back first, remember to notify me immediately if there is news, let me be happy with you." ”

Everyone stood up and watched the chairman leave.

Before, the formation of the Second Air Force Regiment led by Qu Yong had not yet reached the sky above Shenjiagang in the Zhoushan Islands, and from a distance in the sky, he saw thick smoke billowing in the blazing harbor, and the sound of explosions was ringing one after another.

"Comrades, there are still five kilometers to go to the target airspace, a large group of three squadrons, you will first disperse and rush up to escort the escort, everyone concentrates and prepares for battle."

Then Qu Yong transferred to the radio channel of Wang Hai of the First Regiment of the Air Regiment: "Commander of the First Regiment, I am Qu Yong, Deputy of the Second Regiment, we are still less than five kilometers away from Shenjiagang, please give an order from the regiment commander." ”

Wang Hai replied with a smile due to the smooth battle situation before: "Don't call me the head of the regiment, you kid, I am the deputy head of the regiment, do you want to show my foreign appearance as the big master?" The air raid of our first regiment went very smoothly, the bombing has ended, and several big guys have been blown up, and now we have to escort the "Air Reconnaissance No. 5" to conduct ground fire reconnaissance, and then this Shenjiamen wharf will be handed over to your second regiment. ”

As he spoke, under the command of Wang Hai, the 1st Air Regiment continued to spread out to the surrounding airspace as a squadron, escorting the 5th Air Reconnaissance Group to conduct photographic reconnaissance.

Qu Yong was organizationally and decisively promoted to the newly established Second Air Regiment as the acting deputy head because of his brave and outstanding performance in the previous air battle in Puhai. The newly formed Second Air Regiment Flight Brigade and the First Air Regiment Pilots Squadron still had problems running in, and the formation had been formed for a long time.

Qu Yong was a little anxious, and muttered in his heart, he won't mess it up this time, right? Hearing Wang Hai say that no enemy planes had yet been discovered to take off and intercept them, and that the ground anti-aircraft fire on the wharf was extremely weak, he hurriedly ordered a bomb-laden group to immediately dive and drop bombs in the harbor. He took the lead and rushed down first.

The bombing capability of the J-5 is relatively general, as the first generation of jet fighters, the J-5 has a limited field of vision, and there is no ground fire control radar, all rely on a very simple set of optical aiming equipment installed in the seventies to drop bombs, open the speed brake during the dive, and basically rely on prediction and luck to bomb when approaching the target, of course, the closer the dive is to the ground, the higher the bombing accuracy, but this also requires the pilot's superb skills and extraordinary courage. In general, in the absence of numerical superiority, it is not recommended that the J-5 replace light bombers for bombing.

Although the luck of the 2nd Air Regiment was average, although it was not as outstanding and prominent as the 1st Air Regiment, a large group of 12 fighters also damaged five or six gunboats under the turn of diving, and the wharf was in a mess.

On the mouth of the Yangtze River, the Xinyang and the battalion rushed out of the dock with six gunboats before, and after waiting for the six gunboats to follow, they were forming a formation and cruising in all directions. This meal full of vanity ended until the telegraph operator came in and stuffed a telegram note to Qi Min, and Qi Min was dumbfounded after reading the telegram. Heavy losses for the First Fleet? The supply army already has the ability to carry out air strikes? The supply army actually has the ability to carry out air strikes!? At this moment, Qi Min suddenly felt a chill on his back spine penetrate his chest, pressing him unusually depressed.

Qi Min knew that the air force in those years was almost fatal to ships, and the Japanese fleet was exhausted by the continuous air raids of the US military, and he also knew the fate of the Kuomintang warships of the People's Liberation Army, most of them were blown up and sunk by the Kuomintang planes that immediately went to retaliate for the bombing, and even cruisers like the Chongqing could not escape death. Could it be that this fate will also fall on the head of the Kuomintang Navy in a reincarnation?

Qi Min gasped and drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp, and a heat came up from his stomach, temporarily driving away the wet and cold of the winter sea, and he exclaimed: "Return!" ……”

He slyly slipped away.
