In the jungle, on a field airfield set up by the Ming Empire on Luzon Island, a Lei Gong 1 dive bomber staggered and landed on the runway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The propeller slowed down a little, and the pilot couldn't wait to push his canopy back and take off his leather hat.

The pilot of this dive bomber was Li Haoran, who had just carried out two bombing missions on the southeast peninsula before he was stationed on Luzon Island.

Wang Jue actually carefully selected the pilots to be stationed on Luzon Island, because he hoped that these pilots would help him delay the landing operation as much as possible.

"There are too many targets, and the other side has assembled a large number of transport ships on the sea." Throwing the fur hat to the ground staff, Li Haoran complained a little tiredly.

As he flew over the sea, he saw a dense crowd of Ceylonese transports, as well as some escort destroyer cruisers, all of which were horizontal on the water and looked spectacular in the air.

"How many targets were sunk?" The ground crew opened their mouths to ask Li Haoran, they couldn't see the battlefield in the distance at all, and they couldn't imagine what Li Haoran said too much, what it was.

"I dropped all the bombs on the ship!" Li Haoran opened his mouth a little depressed and replied to the ground crew's words: "It's a pity that I don't have time to watch them sink into the water." ”

In the case of a large number of bombs, in fact, the attack distance of the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber is not long, which means that the time in the air is not long.

What made Li Haoran even more depressed was that the bombs he carried could only attack the surface part of the ship, and the damage to the ship was not huge.

You must know that he attacked all temporary troop carriers, which were not protected by armor, and in this case, it was not satisfactory to achieve results.

Two apprentice pilots approached and began to carefully inspect the exterior of the aircraft, making sure that the plane had not been hit by enemy bullets so that they could determine the repairs later.

"Armament scheme with 4 bombs...... The attack against enemy ships was simply too limited. While walking towards the lounge, Li Haoran said to the staff in charge of ground handling.

"If the enemy's warships, the kind with armor...... We carry small bombs, which do nothing at all. Li Haoran looked at the 500-kilogram large bomb that was being pushed out, nodded, and continued to walk towards the lounge.

The sound of explosions could be heard in the distance, and the shelling of the defenders of Ceylon was destroying the beachhead of the Ming Empire. The battle between the two sides continued there, and everything there was drowned in a sea of fire.

Ground crews are loading heavier bombs on their planes as quickly as possible to attack large warships on the surface.

The initial attack, due to lack of experience, did not cause fatal damage to the Ceylonese side. This time, the ground crew heard the pilot's feedback and chose the largest bomb.

"Load a 500-kilogram bomb! Make sure to sink the enemy's ships! With one command after another, the ground crew operated a simple machine and hung the large bomb under the plane.

If a 500-kilogram bomb is used, the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber can only carry one large bomb, in which case it will only have one chance to drop the bomb.

Of course, a bomb of this level, as long as it hits the target, it seems that it can achieve good results. Li Haoran closed his eyes tiredly and took a nap in the sound of shells exploding in the distance.

Li Haoran prefers to attack targets such as cities rather than attacking surface ships, and he likes to see his bombs destroy houses and intuitively see the results of his attacks.

He had just attacked a transport ship on the water, and although the bomb exploded on the ship, he didn't see that the ship had the intention of sinking, which made him a little depressed.

Soon, the 10 Lei Gong 1 dive bombers parked in the field airfield were all hung with the largest 500-kilogram aerial bombs. The refueled cars have also helped the planes fill up with fuel, just waiting for the pilots to take to the air again.

"Ready! Wake up the pilot and take to the skies right away! Because he received a call from General Rui Mouguo, the air force commander anxiously gave the order to fight again.

His troops were a weapon of delay in the attack, and it was evident from the first attack that the enemy's lack of air defense meant that his troops suffered very little losses.

Li Haoran heard the shout and opened his eyes. He didn't even change his flight suit when he took a nap, so he stood up and walked out. The pilots around him were all the same, and everyone wanted to fly a few more times to strike at the enemy who landed.

"This time, all the bombs were loaded...... The stock is running out, so I hope you can get results! The ground officer stood next to the plane and explained to every pilot who was going to get on the plane.

After all, the planes were temporarily transferred to the Luzon area, and there were quite a few small bombs on the islands, but the large bombs were all temporarily transported, and the number of reserves was not large.

"Attack a warship, or attack a troop carrier?" None of the pilots knew which ships they would hit and which would do the most damage to the enemy. So Li Haoran could only speak, wanting to determine his target for a while.

"Prioritize attacking transports full of soldiers...... Isn't that more killing? An Air Force officer squinted his eyes and spoke.

Neither of them had combat experience in sea attacks or anti-landing operations. In this case, all the response is a matter of guesswork, or other experience on a daily basis.

"Do not attack the enemy's battleships, which have been shelling our positions and causing us a lot of trouble." The other officer asked rhetorically, frowning.

The air force commander who first said that he had bombed the troop carrier stopped speaking after hearing this question, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Then attack the warship?" ”

Li Haoran buttoned up his hat, and then climbed into his plane -- he understood that the officers in front of him were actually about the same as the battlefield situation he understood......

Ask them, it's better to feel for yourself! This is how Li Haoran felt, he started the plane, aimed the nose of the plane at the take-off runway, and then waved his hand to the ground crew around him and released the brakes of the plane.

With a large 500-kilogram bomb, the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber took off at the end of the runway and slowly flew into the distant sky.
