(537) The bravery of Chinese land-based attack aircraft

I saw that this enemy plane flew over like lightning and bit the "Caiyun" reconnaissance plane again!

Jiro Hirakawa flew up and down in the "Saiyun" in an attempt to avoid the enemy plane's artillery fire, but Motojo Ken looked back and stared closely at the enemy plane that was constantly spitting flames at him.

When he saw the appearance of this enemy plane, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

It was a weird plane that was completely different from all the planes he had seen before. It had a slender fuselage, but the fuselage was a pair of wide, triangular wings that had never been seen before, and below the junction between the wing and the fuselage, there were two cigar-like tubes that spewed faint flames from their mouths.

And at the slightly pointed nose of the oval, a long tongue of fire is constantly spewing out!

Seeing the machine cannon shells fired by the other party constantly passing by his side, Ben Shangqian was not possessed for a while.

Of course, he understood that these were 20-millimeter aviation artillery shells fired by enemy planes, and as long as one or two rounds were hit, this "Caiyun" would definitely be useless.

"Hurry up and send a telegram! Here is the enemy's fleet! Jiro Hirakawa's roar brought him back to his senses.

Ben Shang Qian glanced down, and his eyes suddenly widened.

On the surface of the sea, there are white tracks everywhere!

And in these tracks, he clearly saw at least four large aircraft carriers!

Ken Bengami hurriedly began to send telegrams, and just as he sent out the location of the enemy fleet where he had discovered, misfortune happened, and the enemy plane that caught up with the delta wing with a fire-breathing tail fired a series of shells accurately.

The second long burst of the 20-mm cannon of the Chinese fighter that dived down hit all. In an instant, Jiro Hirakawa and Ken Motogami and the "Saiyun" reconnaissance plane were smashed to pieces.

"It has been confirmed that the Japanese reconnaissance plane has been shot down." Yu Yunwen, who got the report, smiled bitterly and said, "It was shot down by a 'fire crow' that flew on the ship for a test flight." ”

"It seems to be a success, which means that we are going to have jet fighters on our aircraft carriers." Tang Haisheng smiled, "Good thing! ”

"Those jets are fast, have strong firepower, and are very strong in all aspects, but this 'short leg' problem is not solved. Nothing is useful. Yu Yunwen looked at his watch, shook his head helplessly, and said, "The Japanese reconnaissance plane must have sent a wireless telegraphy, and we have been exposed." ”

"Looks like we're going to have to hurry." Tang Haisheng tapped the position of the enemy's fleet on the chart fiercely. "It seems that it is possible to recover the attack aircraft group of the 1st Carrier Squadron, but it is not possible to allow the escort fighters to rise again," he said. If we wait for the Japanese attack planes to come, they will already have the ability to fight in the air for more than 10 minutes, so we can prepare for another sortie as soon as possible after the recovery, and we can completely strengthen our air defense strength before the Japanese attack planes arrive. ”

"Now that's all we can do, and hopefully the blow to the Japanese will have the desired effect." Yu Yunwen said.

"Boss, the mothership wants us to go back."

Wingman Lin Zhenxuan shouted in the microphone, "It seems that he is reluctant to let us wander outside for too long!" ”

"Alright, call it a day!" After speaking. Wu Letian shook his wings, increased the throttle, and the wingman accelerated almost at this time, and the two "Wind Thunder" fighters accelerated quickly in an instant, for them, the remaining fuel in the fuel tank at this time was enough for them to rush back.

By the time Wu Letian's two fighters returned to the airspace over the aircraft carrier, 10 fighters had landed smoothly before them, and Wu Letian's wingman soon had also obtained the consent of the "Qiulong" aircraft carrier's flight control center to land. …,

"Boss, it's time for us to land!"

"Got it, be careful."

When it was Wu Letian's turn to land. He didn't forget to give a word of advice to Lin Zhenxuan, the weapon system officer in the back seat. It is said that it is easy to take off on this aircraft carrier and difficult to land, and Wu Letian is in favor of this statement. It is not difficult to catapult and take off on an aircraft carrier, but to land on a flight deck that is smaller than a matchbox when viewed from high altitude is a test of wisdom, skill and courage.

Don't think too much, Wu Letian drove a fighter plane with little fuel left to reduce the flight altitude. From the starboard side of the aircraft carrier "Qiulong", at an altitude of about 250 meters and a speed of 600 kilometers per hour. Flew in the direction of the stern, and he lowered the capture hook of the "Wind Thunder" fighter, and the crew of the aircraft carrier signaled that he was ready to land.

Wu Letian cheered up and entered the flight deck at a height of almost fifteen meters, at this time the throttle of the fighter had been closed, and he had used the elevator to raise the nose of the aircraft, so that the speed of the fighter was almost the minimum speed when it was about to stall, and the flight altitude was further reduced, and the capture hook at the tail of the fuselage instantly hooked the third steel cable in the landing area of the flight deck, and at the same time as feeling a slight shock, Wu Letian suddenly increased the throttle to the maximum, which was in case the fighter failed to hook the steel cable or the steel cable was broken, Then five to six seconds before rushing out of the diagonal deck of two hundred meters, he had enough time for the fighter to accelerate back into flight.

The hooked plane instantly fell to the ground from the height of a five-story building, and the fighter plane seemed to hit the flight deck, and the main landing gear that was the first to be impacted absorbed most of the impact of the ship, and the two sophisticated main landing gears with super-large diameter tires withstood the huge impact force of the moment, and then the nose wheel that touched the deck also suffered the impact force, and the impact force transmitted to the crew through a good shock absorption system was also very strong. So Wu Letian only felt that the plane shook when he hooked the steel cable, and then the fighter plane sank suddenly, especially the whole nose of the plane nodded suddenly like a hen pecking rice, and they were also about to rush forward due to the huge inertia, if they really rushed, their heads would definitely be in close contact with the cockpit cover, but fortunately, the seat belt tied him tightly. The whole landing was considered to be dangerous, and after the steel cable was lifted, the fighter plane quickly came to the maintenance area under the instructions of the guide. After a brief examination, he was sent down. Lotte Wu's landline will be in the hangar for a quick check and preparation for departure.

"Every time I land, I have to sweat all over." Wu Letian, who was rushing to the aviation combat command center, shook off the sweat on his face with his flight helmet, looked at Lin Zhenxuan, who was relaxed, and said teasingly: "It feels good, right?" ”

"I don't feel anything anymore." Lin Zhenxuan said with a smile.

Took two cups of hot and thick chocolate from the staff. Instead of the cheap cocoa powder you find in supermarkets today, this chocolate is made from a whole chocolate chip melted and thick enough that the spoon in the middle of the cup can stand upright. Lin Zhenxuan handed Wu Letian a cup, everyone knew that the entire aircraft carrier was very busy at this time, they went to the aviation combat command center to accept the mission, and then when they came back, they would take off to fight, so even if they were hungry, they could only fill it in so-so.

"The group of ground-based attack aircraft has arrived. Attacks are being started. Someone said.

Wu Letian, who was drinking hot chocolate, heard the news, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

Xu Fenglu, the leader of the 1st Attack Squadron, who was sitting in an N3 "Sky Attack" land-based attack plane, looked at the sea below the cracks in the clouds, and at this time he could not hear any roar of the sea, nor could he feel the sea breeze. There were rolling dark clouds everywhere, the whole sea and sky were dark, and there were only 56 N3 "Sky Attack" attack planes left, and these 56 killers had already sharpened their knives at this time, and of course they did not know what the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet was doing at this time. …,

The N3 "Sky Strike" is the world's first professional land-based attack aircraft, which began to be developed in 1935, and this type of aircraft is an excellent design of the Aviation Power Laboratory of Peiyang University, and the design has been faster than the design of several other competing companies. However, the technical immaturity did not maximize the excellent aerodynamic design of the model. It was only later, with the upgrade of the main parts of the engine. This model is gradually getting the most out of it. Although it is not a success in nature. However, the double-engine backup power configuration, solid armored defense, and powerful offensive firepower advocated by the "Sky Attack" have laid the design standards for land-based attack aircraft in the future.

The "Sky Attack" attack aircraft adopts a built-in bomb bay, capable of carrying 2,000 kg of bombs, with a wing weight of 2,500 kg, and can be equipped with rocket launchers of various calibers, and its self-defense armament is one 20-mm twin-mounted machine gun on the top of the aircraft and one 12.7-mm twin-mounted machine gun in the tail position of the belly, as well as one 37-mm cannon in the nose and forward belly positions.

"The enemy's fighter planes are facing off against our escort planes." Someone said.

Through the cracks in the clouds. It seems that you can see a little red light. It was an escort fighter group engaged Japanese fighters.

Xu Fenglu didn't care about the sudden appearance of Japanese fighters, his eyes were firmly fixed on the Japanese fleet on the sea.

Xu Fenglu is the youngest son of Army Marshal Xu Yuanjin, and his father originally had high expectations for him and hoped that he could develop in the army. But it backfired, Xu Fenglu was the same as several brothers. Either they entered the army and air force, or they came to the navy.

At this time, the Japanese fleet had already discovered that the enemy was coming to raid, and was busy adjusting its formation, and one warship after another broke the waves and sailed, drawing eye-catching white tracks on the sea. Due to the low visibility, it was difficult for the Japanese to see the Chinese attack aircraft group, so the tracks looked noticeably chaotic.

Xu Fenglu raised his binoculars, and he quickly recognized the figures of two large Japanese aircraft carriers.

"Send a telegram to the enemy's aircraft carriers: 'Soryu', 'Taiho', two light aircraft carriers, six light cruisers and sixteen destroyers, a total of twenty-eight ships. We immediately began to attack. ”

"There are two big guys, haha! Lao Tzu has only shot target ships before, and he has never hit such a big and expensive target, but this time he made a lot of money! Ha ha! I don't know who was laughing in the microphone.

It took Xu Fenglu almost twenty seconds to think clearly about the strike plan, and soon, several other squadrons sent a message that they were ready.

"Attention all, one minute to prepare. Targets, aircraft carriers 'Soryu' and 'Taiho', two light aircraft carriers, six light cruisers, sixteen destroyers. ”

"One squadron, the attack begins!"

Almost at the same time as the first squadron, several other squadron leaders also gave orders, and the 56 "Sky Raid" attack planes cruising at low altitude and low speed in the sky quickly raised their bulky bodies. Raised his head and flew towards the Japanese fleet. And all the fighters increased the throttle, and the moment they flew over the enemy ship, all the attack planes opened the bomb bay quite tacitly and threw huge bombs.

The Japanese aircraft carrier fleet is in the shape of an ellipsoid, with two large aircraft carriers as the center, other warships scattered around it like stars and moons, and light cruisers in front and behind are like ellipsoidal apexes.

"Boom!"

The sudden sound of an explosion startled the captain of the "Soryu" aircraft carrier, Yanagimoto Yanagisaku Daisaku, and the sea like night was instantly illuminated as bright as day by the fire of the explosion, and before he could understand what was going on, all the ships in the Japanese fleet were like time bombs planted. The whole fleet seemed to sail into a place full of heavy mines, and the huge bombs that fell from the sky showed their deadly figures, one by one burrowed into the fragile flight deck of the Japanese aircraft carriers, facing these huge bombs. The flight deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier, which was tens of millimeters thick, was as fragile as a newspaper, and almost all the bombs that hit were deeply penetrated into the cabin of the aircraft carrier, exploding violently near the keel. …,

The fireworks and flying debris from the explosion of the warships were like the scorching magma emitted by the volcano, and Yanagimoto Yanagimoto felt that the aircraft carrier under his feet had been hit by four bombs one after another, and they all crashed into the cabin of the "Soryu" like torpedoes, and exploded inside the "Soryu" almost at the same time.

After Yanagimoto Yanagimoto felt the violent shaking of the aircraft carrier, four brilliant flames and blooming steel shards suddenly exploded, and he himself was almost shocked to the ground.

When his body was still in the air. Yanagimoto Yanagisaku felt a few pieces of steel shards flying into his body, but his life did not end quickly, he also looked around in the short time of flying, the huge aircraft carrier is now a rolling flame hell, the former majestic battleship, at this time was completely dismembered, everywhere there were violent explosions and all-devouring flames, the once powerful Japanese fleet has been flying in the fireworks at this moment, Yanagimoto Yanagi also saw a cruiser hit by several bombs, It was no longer visible. The entire hull was engulfed in flames.

The whole sea was filled with the sound of violent explosions, the whistling of sharp fragments, the creaking of the keels of battleships, the popping of sailors diving, and many, many strange sounds, which flew apart along with the breaking, dismemberment, and sinking of battleships.

Perhaps none of this was something that Yanagimoto Yanagi could remember, because he had lost consciousness after a faint glance at the hell on earth. It doesn't matter where his wreckage falls, what matters is that he is no longer conscious and in pain. I will no longer endure the wind and sun for the sake of fighting, and I will not care if the people will insult themselves, because everything is over, and the "Canglong", which was hit by four high-explosive bombs, is hopeless.

And at this moment, the most painful person is not Yanagimoto Yanagisaku, nor those Japanese officers and soldiers who are about to die in the fire, but Rear Admiral Yamaguchi Tawen.

When the alarm sounded, he suddenly had a sense of foreboding in his heart, and when six huge things suddenly fell from under the dim sky, his adjutant instinctively reacted and pushed him to the ground, and at the moment when he lay on the floor, a lot of thoughts suddenly flashed in his mind, he was very angry, very puzzled, very puzzled, of course, in the end, he was only very depressed, and when despair flashed in his eyes, he already knew that everything was over, and it was too late.

Four of the six bombs penetrated into the middle of the flight deck of the "Canglong" aircraft carrier with a rather tacit understanding, and the rapid fall of more than 200 kilograms from a high altitude was enough to penetrate the fragile flight deck, not to mention such high-explosive bombs, and the four bombs that were almost about to cut off the "Canglong" were not cut in half in the end, but they soon burst into a violent explosion together with the two bombs that smashed into the rear of the bow 20 meters and the stern of the ship more than 30 meters in front. The aircraft carrier became a hell of fire.

Standing in the command tower, Tashi Yamaguchi looked into the distance with dull eyes, and saw Japanese warships that had been hit and caught fire.

The violent explosion and powerful shock wave made the Japanese warships feel like countless tons of explosives were planted in the stomach of the enemy, and after the strong fire and gunpowder smoke rose, they were broken into several pieces and some parts of the ship could also be shocked and flew out, such as the main gun turrets of light cruisers, these turrets were directly separated from the hull, and between the explosion of the bombs and the explosion of the ammunition depot, the turrets and gun mounts of all sizes flew up like snowflakes, slid across the sky and smashed heavily on the sea, splashing countless water columns.

"The results look good!"

Hearing the words of his comrades-in-arms, a smile appeared on Xu Fenglu's face.

"This time, let those guys on the aircraft carrier envy it!"

"It's a pity that we have too few planes. Otherwise, you can give them something awesome. ”

"Holy! Over there! There are more Japanese warships over there! ”

"What to do? The bombs have been dropped! ”

Xu Fenglu looked at his watch, then at the fuel gauge, and said, "The rest, leave it to our aircraft carrier!" As he spoke, he decisively gave the order to "withdraw from the battle and land at the island airfield." (To be continued.)
