The one hundred and eighth round of Dong Hongjun's throw
[108] Dong Hongjun's vote
Ma Jizhuang, the captain of the Taicang and commander of the Kuomintang First Fleet, was waiting for the news of the Xinyang and other ships at the temporary headquarters of the First Fleet not far from the pier at the moment.
He was greatly stimulated, and said indiscriminately:
"For bandits dare to sneak attack, dare to sneak attack, Taicang, my Taicang ......"
In addition to this lucky bomb that hit the Taicang hard, several bombs dropped by the bomb fell into the water in the dock, so the water bulged, the water column soared into the sky, and the sea water splashed down like rain.
Yang Dezhi, the machine gunner sitting in the tail gun compartment of the H-5 plane, was very excited, this explosion was the most real from his point of view, and he could never forget that scene in his life. In the past, I served in the army, so how could I have this opportunity to overlook the battlefield from the air.
He shouted into the intercom in the plane, "Captain, we hit a warship, the target was shot in the tail and caught fire." ”
Captain Ma Weiming and navigator Hao Liang laughed when they heard the report, after the bomb was dropped, Hao Liang and the captain Ma Weiming were no longer nervous, but a little unconfident, God knows what the effect of Zuihou's bombing was, if the battle report told them that all the bombs fell into the sea, they would not be too surprised, Bi Jin, the bomber originally scheduled to be commissioned at the end of February, was transferred to actual combat before the end of January, and the quality of this urgent effect is not good.
I didn't expect to be able to bomb the Chinese warship, it was really a surprise, and the three people on the plane called for good luck. Captain Ma Weiming reported to Wang Hai, commander of the 1st Air Regiment, that the bombing had been completed, and Wang Hai ordered him to return immediately.
Wang Hai could vaguely see the wharf and the Taicang that were on fire below, and his mood was extremely haode at this moment, he exhaled lightly from his mouth, and after a little relief, he vigilantly scanned the surrounding airspace, and continued to order the rest of the escort fighters of the air regiment to continuously expand the warning range.
The Jian-5 who dived with bombs followed the H-5, and the H-5 walked on the front foot, and they arrived on the back foot.
Like birds of prey culling, they rushed towards the ships in the docks. Some of the unprepared ships in the docks were busy lifting anchor and igniting the steam engines in order to set sail out of the docks; Some saw that the "Taicang" was blown up, thinking that this was the prelude to the beginning of a large-scale air raid, and directly abandoned the ship and fled to the shore, it didn't matter if it was not next to the wharf, many sailors chose to jump into the sea to escape, and for a time the wharf was like dumplings, and the Kuomintang sailors jumped down in an uproar, and then fluttered towards the shore.
The Jian-5 uses the method of hanging a 250-kilogram aerial bomb under each of the two wings to dive and drop the bomb diagonally, and the sight has only one optical presight equipment installed in the 70s according to the airspeed and angle, and the bomb delivery accuracy is not high, and the pilot's feeling and prediction play a great role in the bombing results. In order to train fighters to deliver bombs, the new Chinese Air Force has been working overtime lately, and has finally mastered it, but it cannot be said to be proficient.
After the eight aerial bombs of the first squadron's four Jian-5s were dropped, the explosion sounded, and the two 25-ton small gunboats were directly overturned by the waves of the near-bombing, but they failed to bomb the three 1,000-ton Japanese coastal protection ships berthed in the harbor, namely Tong'an, Cheng'an, and Tai'an.
The second bomb-carrying squadron saw this situation and discussed with Wang Hai to make adjustments, anyway, the enemy had no anti-aircraft firepower at all, and there was no reinforcement from the enemy planes, so they ordered the four planes to disperse and select targets, and try to reduce the bomb dropping height.
Squadron leader Dong Hongjun took a fancy to the Cheng'an sandwiched between the three big ships, seeing that the ship was still full of supplies, if these materials were blown up, Lao Jiang's army would starve, Dong Hongjun's thoughts in his heart were so simple.
He dived, pressed to a height of 200 meters, and dived and dropped bombs in the direction from the bow to the stern, this throw, and finally made a good start to the bombing of fighters, one of which smashed into the pile of materials on the middle deck of the Cheng'an, the intensity of the explosion made everyone unexpected, Dong Hongjun on the Jian-5 only felt a wave of air rising from the back and below, and the Jian-5 he piloted was like a paper plane blown by the wind from the bottom of the Xiangshang to fly up violently, and the entire fighter was swaying, Shocked, he grabbed the joystick, slammed the accelerator and rushed out desperately.
Even Wang Hai, who was escorting the sky in the sky, was admiring, this bomb was too powerful, with the continuous rumbling sound of martyrdom, a small mushroom cloud could be seen after dispersing, this explosion not only blew Cheng An almost from the middle, but also seemed to seriously blow up the two boats on the side. Wang Hai suspected that if it wasn't for the bomb depot of the ship in the middle that was blown up, it was because of the strange materials piled up on the ship.
Their observation was correct, the bridges on the decks of the Tong'an and Tai'an were tragically blown up by the shock wave, and even the mast of the Tong'an toppled over, and the chimney was blown off. The sides of the two destroyers near the side of Cheng'an were seriously damaged, and the Cheng'an itself, the middle of the hull was torn open and blown off from top to bottom, and it seemed that no one on the ship was spared.
Considering the inconvenience of transportation between the islands, the logistics of the national bacteria piled up a large number of shells and explosives on the deck of the Cheng'an, and some of them were stored in the cabins of some landing ships, which could be transported to the garrisons on the islands by sea at any time, as for the defense of the army's air raids...... haha...... No kidding...... haha…… You're so funny......
Ma Jizhuang and his First Fleet staff rushed out of the temporary headquarters and lay on their stomachs in a pile of rubble on a hill near the dock. He cried with a sad face, looking at the pier with fire, the Taicang was obviously unable to move, the tragic situation of the Cheng'an's two ends, I am afraid that it will not last long and will sink, not to mention the bridge on the deck of the Tong'an, the turret has been blown over, and even the mainmast has fallen crooked, which is only one step away from sinking, the Tai'an is not clear in the firelight, but from the perspective of the bridge that was blown up, there is not much hope for survival.
"It's over, it's all over......" Ma Jizhuang's face was like dirt, he jumped up like a corpse, and was about to take out his pistol to commit suicide with a hula, and all the staff adjutants around him rushed up, hugged him to death, and snatched his pistol.
"Commander, Commander, Commander, Commander must not be like this...... The green mountains are here, and I'm not afraid of no firewood......"
Everyone snatched Ma Jizhuang's gun, and while persuading with nonsense, they were calculating in their hearts: Seeing that this big fiasco is coming, Ma Jizhuang has to go out and carry a black pot, if he dies, who will report this defeat to Lao Jiang at that time?
Ma Jizhuang sat on the muddy ground, panting for breath, he now understood in his heart that the Xianning and the ten-gunboat that went out to lay mines were estimated to be more than lucky. He guessed the result correctly, but in the process, the Xianning gang was not defeated in the air attack, but in the naval battle.
