Section 261 Sudden Rush to Tokyo
After issuing a warning to the airships of other countries, Yang Chao was the first to evacuate the battlefield, not because he was afraid of accidental injury, but in fact, it was the airships of other countries, and it was unlikely that they would be injured by mistake, after all, they were all some distance from the battlefield, and Yang Chao's warning was not so much for their safety, but as a courtesy.

The reason why Yang Chao ran away was not because he was afraid that Japan would send an airship to intercept him, but because he couldn't bear to see the heavy casualties.
"Liu Guanqun's navy must fight until the last moment, and then return home with their ship and our airship crew."
Before leaving, Yang Chao gave Liu Guanxiong one last order.
It stands to reason that Yang Chao is not qualified to give orders to Liu Guanxiong, because he is the Minister of National Defense, and in terms of establishment, he is a civilian official.
In peacetime, the Minister of National Defense may still be able to play a role in formulating national defense strategies and developing military forces, but in wartime, according to regulations, it is actually the commander-in-chief and the chief of the general staff who are in charge, and the nominal supreme commander is the president.
However, a country's politics is absolutely inseparable from culture and tradition, and the role played by Yang Chao, the Minister of National Defense, is actually not a civilian official in the West, but the duty of the military department in ancient China, and it is not the commander of the armed forces or the chief of general staff who directly reports to the president, but he, the minister of defense, and no one thinks there is anything wrong.
Yang Chao sighed and left the battlefield.
And Dongxiang Hei Ba Hao ushered in the airship with a kind of lost soul and a collapsed mood.
He can't accept it, he has already done this step, has clearly occupied an absolute advantage, the result is still a failure, he should have thought that the Chinese will not be so easily fooled, because China is the core of the Eastern nation, and it is impossible for a nation that pays attention to power to fall for this kind of fool, of course, he did not think that the Chinese would be fooled at the beginning, what he thought was that the Chinese were too arrogant and arrogant, and they were specifically challenging the Japanese Navy in such a way, telling the Japanese that they were not afraid of Japan's ambush, They are the only ones who can break through the Japanese Navy after bombing Tokyo.
But Dongxiang Heibachi did not expect that in the end it was the Chinese who let them fall for it.
Looking at drilling out of the clouds, with the help of the energy of the swoop, this type of question is not big, sixty meters long, with floating boards on both sides, close to the small wings on both sides of the airship, Dongxiang Ping Ba Yan is very familiar, this is China's most advanced airship, the widest part of both sides is only three meters of wings, from the middle and front of the airship, all the way to the tail end of the airship, this design allows the Chinese airship to obtain very good aerodynamics.
But Togo Hei Hachiro didn't know that when this kind of airship dived down, the fastest speed could reach 300 kilometers per hour.
Now Togo Heihachi still doesn't know, he only knows that it is very fast, these airships are very fast.
The first airship drilled out of the clouds, dived downward and stabbed obliquely into the sky above a Japanese warship, and dropped a bombshell at an altitude of 300 meters, not that they did not dare to get close to the bombing, but this is an airship, telling the dive to descend to 200 meters can not pull up, no matter how good the small wings on both sides are aerodynamic, he only plays an auxiliary role, and cannot really be used as aircraft wings.
As a result, the first bomb of the first airship did not blow anything, it went directly into the sea, and there was no explosion, but it was an airship, and he did not pull up as fast as the plane, but drew an arc at an altitude of more than 200 meters relatively gently, and the airship dropped more than a dozen bombs in the process, all aimed at the battleship, and as a result, he blew up and sank a cruiser.
In the midst of the huge cheers of the airship crew, cheering that when they accidentally blew up and sank a cruiser, they themselves were shot, and the Japanese anti-aircraft guns tore a big hole in the shell of their airship, and the airbags were immediately broken, and there were air leaks everywhere, and the airship uncontrollably rowed an irregular curve over the sea and landed.
This was only the first one, and the next three airships flew down from the sky like vultures smelling blood, and threw down bombs one after another with the momentum of not tearing off a piece of Japanese flesh and never giving up.
One Japanese fleet after another was sunk, and one airship after another was shot down.
The tons of large bombs equipped on the airship are not pleasant to hit on any warship, even the most solid super-dreadnought, and if they don't get the deck right, they will be lifted up, and if they hit a cruiser of several thousand tons, they will be broken directly.
But the airship's thin-skinned stuffing couldn't bear the Japanese anti-aircraft guns, and it was torn open directly when it hit the aluminum alloy shell, and it was easy to cut through the covered rubber airbag with a single piece, but as long as it didn't hit the cockpit directly, the people inside were very likely to survive and crash down on the sea with the airship.
Liu Guanxiong looked at these battle conditions, and he understood what Yang Chao meant by the telegram he sent him at the end, it turned out that Yang Chao was ready to sacrifice these airships, airships can be sacrificed, but people should try to save them as much as possible, so let the navy hold on to the last moment, and then save people and leave.
In fact, the navy can't talk about insisting on it now, because with the advent of airships, the Japanese are more and more inclined to air defense, but they neglect the artillery battle with the Chinese navy, but Liu Guanxiong did not underestimate the Japanese navy, on the contrary, he knew that in terms of training, it was still stronger than the Chinese navy, just encountered the Japanese torpedo boats, the Chinese navy was a little overwhelmed, and the Japanese were faced with airships that suddenly dived from the air at high speed, but they were able to carry out air defense operations at the fastest speed, and the Chinese navy would never be able to do it.
The Japanese sank far more airships than their battleships lost, but the Chinese airships seemed to have no number, like dumplings, constantly drilling out of the clouds and flying down, two or three airships, for the Japanese one warship, and even in order to sink one battleship, five airships were sunk.
However, as the warships were sunk one after another, the firepower of the Japanese Navy became more and more sparse, and it was no longer possible to form a dense firepower network.
In an hour, two hours, three hours, one, two, three battleships, for three hours, three Japanese battleships were sunk by airships, and at the same time two were sunk by the Chinese Navy, which seized the opportunity, and the results of the naval battle were more and more skewed in favor of the Chinese.
The psychology of the Japanese soldiers also produced a feeling of despair, and some soldiers saw no hope at all, gave up the battle, climbed onto the deck and shouted at the airship in the sky, and then fell headlong into the sea.
Togo Heihachi also felt desperate, when he saw a bomb that seemed to fall towards his battleship, Togo Heihachi even had a sense of relief in his heart, but when the bomb exploded on the sea and did not blow up his battleship, he suddenly felt that he had calmed down, and reason was born out of despair, which was not easy.
Can't die here.
Dongxiang Hei Bazai's heart moved.
"Order all ships to start their horsepower, go straight to the Chinese Navy, break through them, and enter Tokyo Bay!"
In the flash of light, Togo Heihachi thought of the best way to deal with it, only to go forward, only to break through the Chinese fleet, and then break through to Tokyo, the rear of the Chinese fleet, relying on the support of a large number of anti-aircraft weapons from the Dongjiang seaport, his navy could survive.
Now Togo Heihachi has understood that the Chinese's airship is definitely not transferred from other places, but has been hiding in the sky over Tokyo, has been waiting for an opportunity, the dense clouds over Tokyo is their best hiding place, thinking that the Chinese have even calculated the weather over Tokyo in recent days, Togo Heihachi can't help but feel a sense of admiration.
What he didn't know was that in order to do this, Yang Chao collected countless data, and even managed to get the meteorological data near Tokyo in the past ten years from the Tokyo Meteorological Observatory, and asked the most experienced meteorological experts of the airship company to predict that there would be five days of clouds and fog over Tokyo, and it was very rare that there would be no wind.
However, the fact that the Japanese were able to cooperate in fighting this battle in Tokyo can only be said that the Japanese did not expect that they could not imagine that Yang Chao's airship had been in the skies over Tokyo for a day and a night.
I didn't expect that during the seemingly normal daytime bombing yesterday, when the final return voyage, a large number of airships flew into the clouds, and some of them flew out of the clouds and fog, and some of them hid in and hid directly, and no one paid attention to the situation at an altitude of 10,000 meters, so no one found that these airships were hiding in the sky.
In war, any slight mistake can lead to the defeat of a war.
Still making up for the dead, Togo Heihachi had this wisdom and a desperate spirit, and under his orders, the Japanese fleet began to stop shelling, started horsepower and began to rush towards the Chinese fleet.
The distance between the two fleets is about 10 kilometers, and only by crossing such a long distance can they avoid the bombing of the airships, whether they are entangled with the Chinese fleet, or if they break through the Chinese fleet to Tokyo, they can avoid being blown up and sunk by the airships one by one.
However, at a distance of up to 10 kilometers, the Japanese fleet will basically not be able to fire completely, and only the three heavy guns in the bow can return fire, so it is the best target for the Chinese fleet that has already set up a T-shaped formation and opened fire with all its might, but what can you do if you don't do this?
Scattered and breaking through, can a warship outrun an airship?
The assembled air defense network could not take down all the airships, and when the scattered warships faced the airship swarm, there was nothing but sinking them.
Only by forcibly breaking into Tokyo is the only chance, the only chance to save the Japanese Navy, of course, it may also make the Japanese Navy temporarily lose the opportunity to compete with the Chinese Navy, but as long as the seeds are left, it can always recover.
"All warships stick to their posts, do not give in an inch, and if the enemy is entangled, they will die with the enemy!"
Sa Zhenbing's flag came over, and Liu Guanxiong knew that Sa Zhenbing's decision was to rather die with the Japanese navy, but also to leave all the Japanese navy here.
He also endorsed the order. (To be continued.) )
