Chapter 187, Japanese Fleet
Four kamikaze-class destroyers, with four 4.7-inch (inch) guns, fired indiscriminately at the ports of Guangdong, Foshan, and Zhongshan. The ports were long gone, but the Japanese Navy was not going to rest on their laurels and still dumped shells on the ports, and they wanted to bomb all these ports.
Because of the movement and the waves, you don't have to think about the target, but it doesn't matter, you don't need the head anyway, just hit the cannonball on the opposite port.
They also knew that the 41st Army had conquered the ports, mainly to trade with Germany, but they had nothing to do with Germany, so they could only use these ports to vent their anger.
Compared with the Japanese Army, the Navy was much richer, and it bombed the ports over and over again, completely destroying them. So that not a single ship can dock, and not a single ship can go to sea.
Here in the Humen Fort, after the Battle of Guangzhou, it has long been beaten and dilapidated by the Japanese army, (the Humen Fort of later generations was only rebuilt later) no one noticed, after this ruin, twenty-four 130mm cannons aimed at the Pearl River, the Japanese army was also a little carried away, the first time to attack the port, because of the fear of being shelled by the 251st Division, so just some artillery was withdrawn, but until the exit from Haikou was not shelled, this time, they were more presumptuous, along the Haikou, has been bombarding, He has not encountered any resistance, but his behavior has made Hong Kong next door very unhappy, and at the same time a little worried, although they do not think that the Japanese army will attack Hong Kong.
"Turn left 5 degrees, high and low 3 degrees, fire!"
"Boom!"
With an order, the gunner suddenly pulled the gun rope, and the 130mm caliber shells flew down the spiral barrel towards the Japanese destroyer.
"Boom!" The shell hit a slowly walking kamikaze-class destroyer directly, penetrated it, and then exploded, fortunately hitting the crew's rest pod and not causing much damage.
However, the sudden explosion also startled the Japanese soldiers on board, and the alarm bell rang out, and the speed of the ship increased with a clanging sound.
"Keep firing, using cap-piercing shells."
On the shore, twenty-four cannons opened fire vigorously, they were less than 1,000 meters away from the Japanese destroyers, and they were still on the shore at such a close distance, so the hit rate was extremely high, and in an instant, there were a few more bullet holes on the four ships, and the armor-piercing shells easily penetrated the armor of the destroyers, and the shells exploded in the hull. A few shots hit the waterline, and suddenly made several big holes in the hull, and the rushing river water kept pouring in.
"Quick, plug the gap!" The captain heard someone below say that the ship was leaking, and said unhurriedly. Well, he had an experience, and last time he was accidentally injured by his own fleet, and he was hit by a battleship and almost didn't break in two.
Naturally, the four destroyers would not be next to the guns, and the sailors turned the four main guns and opened fire on the batteries, which were already mostly in ruins.
Although the batteries were almost destroyed, they were still strong in some places, which gave the artillery a good cover.
The 4.7-inch barrel of the kamikaze-class destroyer, converted to 119.38mm, is more than 10 mm smaller than the caliber of the artillery's 130mm cannon, so it is almost so powerful and will not cause much damage to the battery, after all, the Humen battery was originally under the Japanese army's sea and air attack, so that most of it became ruins, and now with the 119.38mm gun, there is almost no danger at all.
Under the fire of the artillery team, the Japanese destroyers were full of bullet holes, and in the later period, because of the replacement of high-explosive shells, the result was that the four destroyers were bombed in pitch black, the deck was in tatters, and the Japanese sailors were also killed and wounded, but they escaped, and one of the destroyers named the Hurricane had begun to tilt, so if it went on like this, if it was a little later, it would definitely be sunk.
"The devil's ship is gone, stop fighting." The commander told the artillery to stop and look at the surface of the Pearl River, only some of the garbage that had been blown off the surface of the water had been blown off from the four destroyers.
Twenty-four cannons, there are curling white smoke on the barrel of the cannon, and there is a lot of water vapor at the water's edge, and these transpiring white smoke are evaporated after the water vapor comes into contact with the hot barrel.
"The Japanese army always comes to bomb the port from time to time, and there is no way to go on like this." An artilleryman sat on a hoe, a little distressed.
"Rescue has been sent to Dawang Village, and it is estimated that there will be a countermeasure over there soon." The gunner, who was crouching to the side and wiping the shells, said unconcernedly.
In Dawang Village, artillery pieces were loaded into Mi-26 helicopters and prepared to be transported to Guangzhou, where a fire defense line would be built on the shore of the Pearl River to prevent Japanese warships from entering the river and destroying the port.
Fifty Jian-5s set off again and took off from Dawang Village, targeting the Japanese fleet off the Pearl River.
I don't know how many ships the Japanese army has come, whether there are aircraft carriers, this matter is worth paying attention to, and now I can only rely on the fifth master to investigate. There are cameras under the fifth master, and in addition to attacking, they are taking pictures of the Japanese fleet and bringing them back to Lu Qiang to analyze which warships the Japanese army has this time.
This time to the Pearl River is a little far, so after the capture of Guangzhou, the original airport west of Baiyun will be repaired, paved with cement, but it can also be used, but the scale is not large enough, only two planes can take off and land at a time, so in the later international Baiyun Airport that location, rebuild a large airport, for some of Lu Qiang's large planes to stop.
After flying for more than an hour, the Jian-5 landed at Baiyun Airport, and the flight crew was transferred from Dawang Village.
After landing, a wave of flight crews came up to inspect it, filled it with fuel, hung up ammunition, and let the plane take off again.
After taking off, the five masters flew towards the beach in groups of two.
The sky was clear and there was not a single cloud.
"I've never seen the sea when I'm so big." Pilot Shui Yixia looked at the clear sea level outside through the cover door, and said to his companion Wu Jiangyou.
"Then you can take a good look now." Wu Jiangyou replied casually, "I don't think there's anything to look at, except for water, it's still water." ”
"Cut, how can you, a warp one, understand the beauty of the sea, landlubber."
"You know, then why are you in the Air Force, how good it is to be in the Navy."
"Damn, if our 41st Army has a navy, I'll be the first to do it."
"But you'd better wait for the navy to say that."
"Hmph, now that there is a port, will the navy be far away?"
The two of them each drove a fifth master, and kept searching the sea with their eyes while talking in the sky. The sea surface without any obstacles can be seen at a glance, flying 5 or 6,000 meters high, and you can still see the sea surface clearly.
"There will be, pay attention to the front, there seems to be black smoke." Shui Yixia's eyesight is 5.0, plus a telescope, and he can see the black smoke rising from the sea level where the water and the sky meet, although it is already very faint, but he still captures it.
"Where? Why didn't I see it? Wu Jiangyou picked up the binoculars and looked ahead, but he didn't see anything.
"Your eyes are like a blind dog, how can they compare to my eagle eyes." Shui Yixia mocked mercilessly.
"You're a dog-eyed, you're blind."
As the plane flew forward, the black smoke became clearer and clearer, and Wu Jiangyou also saw it, if he couldn't see it at this time, he was really blind. "Prepare for battle!" Wu Jiangyou shouted.
"I know without you saying it." Shui Yixia said unceremoniously, "You left and I right, left and right." ”
"Yes." General Wu responded, and as soon as the plane deviated, it flew to the left. Shui Yixia's plane also wrapped up towards the Japanese army.
"More than one!" As the several battleships that came into view were slowly exposed, there was a thick chimney in front of it that was spewing black smoke and polluting the environment.
Before the plane arrived, the noise came first, and many Japanese soldiers were a little confused, staring at the sky, and then they saw two Wuye flying towards them from two directions.
"Brush!" When the Japanese soldiers saw the five masters in the sky, their faces suddenly changed, the alarm bell on the ship sounded, and the originally leisurely Japanese soldiers immediately rushed to their respective posts.
The sound of the alarm bell and the sound of the air defense siren made the Japanese troops on the ship startle and start air defense according to the training. The anti-aircraft weapons mounted on the side of the ship were all shaken up and pointed at the sky.
Several other warships, two kilometers away, were also on alert.
After waiting for the two Wuye to break into the range of the anti-aircraft weapons, bullet marks were sprayed out and scattered into the sky.
20mm anti-aircraft machine guns, 37mm anti-aircraft guns, all over the sky.
However, the speed of the fifth master was beyond their imagination, even with the information provided by the army, they still underestimated the Jianwu as a result.
The two Wuye crossed left and right, and one accelerated to break through the anti-aircraft barrage of the Japanese fleet, and then pulled up the plane and dived again.
The shrill jet engine and the loud sound brought a lot of psychological pressure to the Japanese soldiers on board.
Shui Yixia dropped the bomb first, a 250kg bomb broke away from the hook and roared towards the ship below, and he piloted the nose of the plane and flew again, followed by Wu Jiangyou also dropped bombs on the battleship below.
"Woo~~~" The sound of the aerial bomb rubbing against the air made the Japanese soldiers on the ship white.
"Wow!" A bomb grazed the side of the ship and smashed into the water, and a huge splash swept the deck of the ship, and many Japanese soldiers were slapped to the ground by the waves. Immediately after the second one also fell, the bomb that was supposed to hit the stern of the ship should have turned a corner for the battleship and did not blow it up, but it accidentally blew up its propeller, and the battleship shook all over, and the speed gradually slowed down.
However, Shui Yixia and Wu Jiangyou did not pay attention to it anymore, but continued to fly forward, and after going around, they found that there were only seven warships here, four destroyers, one light cruiser, one heavy cruiser, and one suspected to be a supply ship. However, the four seriously injured destroyers mentioned by the 251st Division were not found, and it is estimated that they are returning, after all, the bend is not far away.
