Seven twenty p.m.

Although the Pacific sank a Japanese destroyer, the remaining heavy cruiser and a destroyer of the little devil were like maggots on the tarsal bones, and the distant guns kept harassing them.

As if attending a banquet, the nine water reconnaissance planes of the Japanese army, the four water reconnaissance planes of the Maritime Resistance Army, and the nine transport planes of the Maritime Resistance Army arrived over the battlefield almost simultaneously.

For the water reconnaissance aircraft of the devils, the battleship Pacific was not afraid at all. In terms of bomb load and maneuverability, it is simply difficult for a water reconnaissance aircraft to compare with a fighter-bomber. Li Guang had no intention of wasting the water reconnaissance planes of the Naval Resistance Army in vain, and immediately ordered the entire air force to stay away from the battlefield and not to get entangled with the devil's fighters.

Looking at a group of devil water reconnaissance planes like flies, frantically circling around the Pacific Ocean, quite arrogant.

These little devils did not see the fate of the Japanese bombers on the aircraft carrier Fengxiang, and a few of them even wanted to carry out a sneak attack on the Pacific without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

The gunners of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Army in the pickup truck, seeing the Japanese fighters approaching, were full of excitement and shouted: "Good come." ”

These Japanese water reconnaissance planes did not dive bombing, nor did they approach horizontally and at low altitudes, and they actually used the most stupid small-angle bombs. A water scout swooped towards the Pacific Ocean at an angle of more than 30 degrees. Obviously, the devil's aircraft carrier pilots had no communication with these water reconnaissance pilots at all, and these little devils knew nothing about the hardships suffered by the aircraft carrier pilots dozens of minutes ago.

The Japanese water reconnaissance planes were still greeted by flashing searchlights, followed by a torrential rain of anti-aircraft artillery fire.

After being beaten by a stinky beating, the little devil was now honest, and he no longer dared to approach the Pacific, but only dared to hover in the distant sky.

With the calibration of these water reconnaissance planes, the guns of the heavy cruisers of the little devils were obviously much more accurate, and the shells rained down around the Pacific Ocean.

At such a distance, it is impossible for the 203MM gun to hit the Pacific hard, but if the shell hits the superstructure of the Pacific, it is not without harm. At this moment, Li Guang was very calm, he did not order the seaplane of the Naval Resistance Army to join the battle group, but said to Zheng Xuechang: "After ten minutes of resistance, the air is our world." ”

Ten minutes, only ten minutes, Liu Gensheng's air force squad, intact twelve fighters will arrive on the battlefield.

Li Guang has enough confidence in Liu Gensheng's squad, it is not a rookie squad led by Tu Yuanchao, but the "elite" of the Naval Resistance Army, if the twelve P40 fighters can't deal with the seven Japanese water reconnaissance planes, Liu Gensheng is afraid that he will stay in the position of the leader of the fighter squad for a day.

In ten minutes, the devils had a considerable advantage, and the Pacific hit two shells in ten minutes. One of the side guns did not cause the slightest damage to the battleship, and one on the rear deck destroyed an anti-aircraft gun, causing a little casualty to the naval resistance forces.

With Liu Gensheng's voice coming from the radio, Li Guang knew that the fighter had approached the battlefield, and immediately ordered Liu Gensheng: "Kill the little devil's seaplane, and then return immediately." ”

For Liu Gensheng's team, the fighter jets didn't have much time in the air, and if they couldn't end the battle in a few minutes, the fighters probably wouldn't have enough fuel to return to Yemen.

The ensuing battle was like a show, Liu Gensheng led twelve fighters to kill six Japanese water scouts in the first round of diving, and in five minutes, the only one water scout was also beaten into a fireball.

The P40 may be comparable to the Japanese army's 96 carrier-based aircraft, and it may not be able to deal with the Japanese army's Zero fighters, but it is simply easy to deal with the Japanese army's one-type water reconnaissance.

Seeing the results in front of him, Li Guang wondered if it would be better if he had assigned a task to switch positions between Liu Gensheng's team and Tu Yuanchao's team? As soon as this thought came to him, he quickly shook his head. At first, he had no idea which aircraft carrier the Japanese army was dispatching and how many planes it had. Even if Liu Gensheng's team was dispatched, there was no certainty of absolute victory at that time.

Liu Gensheng's mission was successfully completed and he immediately returned home.

Liu Guobang and Shi Shiran took the stage.

Among the 12 fighters of the bomber squadron, a total of 12 heavy dexterous bombs were carried, ranging from nearly one ton to 500 kilograms. But more than two hundred and fifty kilograms of dexterous bombs.

In the battle just now against the Japanese aircraft carrier formation, the bomber squad consumed six bombshells. The fighter plane piloted by Liu Guobang now has only three 250-kilogram bombs on board. According to Li Guang's arrangement, the six fighters without heavy bombs were to deal with the two Japanese warships in front of them, while the transport planes carrying heavy bombs retained their strength and were ready to deal with the main fleet of the Japanese army.

As soon as Liu Guobang made a move, he was immediately extraordinary. The Pacific was completely liberated. The two Japanese warships could no longer afford to fire their guns, and desperately avoided the bomb attack on the sea.

In peacetime training, the bombardiers (video game masters) of the Naval Resistance Force have not trained with live ammunition to bomb warships at high speeds of more than 35 knots. In the battle just now, the Japanese destroyer Shiyu was able to escape and ascend to heaven, which has a lot to do with this. Against high-speed targets, the requirements for bombardiers are higher, and a battleship with a speed of seventy kilometers per hour is definitely not so easy to hit.

Six fighters bombed nearly 20 dexterous bombs for 20 minutes in a row, and the overall results were not good, hitting only one heavy cruiser of the Japanese Kumano. The hit rate was only five percent.

The outcome of the battle depends not only on whether it hits or not, but also on the impact on the battle situation. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Liu Guobang's team, the battleship Pacific had once again distanced itself from the heavy cruiser Kumano. Half an hour later, the distance of the fleet was already forty kilometers upward.

Liu Guobang led six bombers to quickly return home, while the remaining six bombers continued to carry out air strikes on the Japanese heavy cruiser Kumano.

This was an extremely important part of Li Guang's plan, because the continuous bombing of these six bombers could support up and down for 30 minutes, which was enough time for the battleship Pacific and the Japanese battleship to open up the distance of another 10 kilometers.

After Liu Guobang ran out of bombs, he stupidly withdrew from the battlefield. In Liu Guobang's opinion, it was not cost-effective, you must know that in the battle to take out the Japanese aircraft carrier, the twelve bombers were almost intact.

The devil's Kumano heavy cruiser is not weak in air defense firepower, and the most threatening thing for the bombers of the Naval Resistance Force is the four 127mm flat-height dual-purpose guns, which can easily shoot at an altitude of 7,000 meters, which is quite a threat to bombers who drop bombs at an altitude of 4,500 meters. Due to the irregular maneuver of the heavy cruiser Kumano at high speed, the accuracy of the artillery fire was reduced, otherwise the losses of Liu Guobang's team would have been even greater. After this war, the bombers and fighters of the Air Force of the Naval Resistance Army formed a joint combat mode. Without the interference of fighters, the danger of bombers increases exponentially.

The remaining six fighters of the bomber squad continued to bomb the Japanese heavy cruiser Kumano in turn. Even if these fighters could not kill the Japanese heavy cruiser, they could intercept the heavy cruiser for half an hour. This half hour was crucial for the Pacific, with which the battleship Pacifica could once again pull twenty kilometers away from the Japanese fleet.

Time is squeezed out little by little. Li Guang was not sure whether he would be able to gradually reverse the situation at this time, but if he could buy a little more time, it would be more beneficial for the Naval Resistance Army.

The strike of the Kumano by six bombers finally achieved a decisive result at 6:53 a.m. A five-hundred-kilogram dexterity bomb hit the front turret of the cruiser Kumano.

THE 500-KILOGRAM BOMBSHELL OF THE NAVY RESISTANCE FORCE WAS MODIFIED FROM GERMAN 280 MM NAVAL ARTILLERY SHELLS, AND THIS KIND OF ARMOR-PIERCING SHELL WEIGHING 380 KILOGRAMS WAS SO POWERFUL THAT IT BLEW UP THE 203 MM TWIN TURRET WEIGHING MORE THAN 100 TONS OF THE KUMANO CRUISER INTO THE SEA WITH ONLY ONE PIECE.

The heavy cruiser Kumano immediately rose into the air of wolf smoke. Although it was not sunk, the heavy cruiser with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons had completely lost its combat effectiveness and became an iron coffin floating on the sea.

After this blow, the heavy cruiser Kumano immediately slowed down. The bomber squadron of the Naval Resistance Army struck more accurately, hitting five bombs in succession in the following ten minutes, and the superstructure of the cruiser Kumano was like a forest ravaged by a hurricane.

IT IS A PITY THAT THE REMAINING 250 KILOGRAMS OF DEXTERITY BOMBS OF THE MARITIME RESISTANCE FORCES ARE NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH, AND ORIGINALLY THIS DEXTERITY BOMB WAS ONLY MODIFIED FROM 203MM NAVAL ARTILLERY SHELLS, AND THE WEIGHT OF 203MM NAVAL ARTILLERY SHELLS IS ONLY LESS THAN 100 KILOGRAMS, AND THE CHARGE IS ONLY MORE THAN 10 KILOGRAMS. Otherwise, just these five bombs would have been able to easily send the Kumano into Ryugu.

With the withdrawal of all the bomber squads, only four water reconnaissance planes remained in the air power of the Shanghai Resistance Army on the sea.

The staff officers quickly gave an analysis of the battle situation, and for two full hours, the naval resistance force would have no other air force to protect it. Even if Tu is the first to return to the fighter team, it will take two hours to return to refuel, reload and then rush to the battlefield.

In two hours, if it goes well, the Pacific will be able to enter the Gulf of Aden. Although there is no more military force there, once they enter the Gulf of Aden, it is difficult to say whether the Japanese warships will dare to chase after them. You must know that the width of the Gulf of Aden is only more than 200 kilometers, which is a dead land for the Japanese army.

In fact, this is what he said, but Li Guang is not sure whether the British fleet in the Indian Ocean will come to support. The entry of the Japanese fleet into the Indian Ocean was a provocation for the British Empire, and the entry into the Gulf of Aden was a threat to Britain. But the British Empire is now worthless, and it is very unlikely that Churchill will rashly start a war with Japan. However, in any case, once the Japanese warships enter the Gulf of Aden, they will definitely be psychologically affected, which is a little favorable situation for the naval resistance forces.

War is done in every possible way, and even such a little bit of favorable situation Li Guang will not let go of taking advantage of it.
