Yongyu Fumichi Shaozo was shot down by dense anti-aircraft artillery fire even before entering the attack route. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although the commander was killed, the rest of the Japanese pilots had no fear, and they controlled their fighters to dive at high speed towards the Poyang Lake aircraft carrier.

These Japanese pilots knew very well in their hearts that their oil needles had already been pointed at the danger zone. Perhaps there was only enough fuel left in the tank for them to carry out this attack maneuver. Since there is one death on the left and right, then simply put on some more cushions before you die.

The Japanese pilots ignored the guidelines for dropping bombs at an altitude of 800 meters, stepped on the accelerator to the end, and then pounced directly on the larger and larger aircraft carrier in front of them.

At least three 99 shipblasts disintegrated in the air because they could not support the huge dive pressure, and at the same time, many Japanese fighters were shot down one after another under the intensive fire attack. The Japanese 99 ship, which finally completed the bomb dropping, exploded and hit four bombs on the Poyang Lake!

After the Japanese pilots dropped the bombs, they subconsciously turned the fighters into orbit, but because the altitude was too low and the speed was too fast, three of them successfully changed out, and the other fighters plunged headlong into the sea. The three fighters did not escape, and were shot down by intensive artillery fire from all directions before they ran out of fuel and crashed into the sea.

The formation of 84 attack aircraft led by Shozo of Yongyu Fumichi was finally wiped out. Their biggest failure was that they did not bring enough escort fighters, which directly led to the loss of most of their combat strength when they broke through the defense network of powerful air defense fighters. Fighters fight bombers, that's really terrifying.

There is also the black technology equipped by the Ming Navy, radar. Although only a generation of primitive, very prone to various failures of the radar. However, the early warning range of more than 30 nautical miles is enough time for the air defense forces to maneuver.

Coupled with the advanced anti-aircraft firepower that is massively equipped on the ships, especially the specially designed anti-aircraft cruisers with strong firepower. The Poyang Lake aircraft carrier squadron has been training for a long time, and the officers and men have tacitly cooperated. In this case, the Japanese were able to complete the attack and hit four bombs, absolutely because their pilots were all elite!

Being hit by four bombs sounds scary, especially for an aircraft carrier. However, if it hits a high-explosive shell that explodes at the slightest touch, and it hits an aircraft carrier with an armored deck, then the matter will be another story.

The flight deck of the Poyang Lake aircraft carrier is laid with an armored deck, which may not be able to block time-delayed fuze armor-piercing shells, but it is still no problem to deal with high-explosive shells sensitive to fuzes.

The 250-kilogram high-explosive bomb looked incredibly powerful and caused severe damage and damage on the flight deck. Numerous personnel and anti-aircraft gun emplacements, and even sensitive equipment such as some antenna radars were damaged by the violent explosions.

The sturdy flight deck was blasted open with four huge holes, and if it had been a huge breach caused by the torpedo near the waterline, it was estimated that the Poyang Lake would have sunk.

Fortunately, there was not a single plane on the flight deck of the Poyang Lake, not even in the hangar. There was no ammunition from the ammunition depot, and there was no equipment such as tanker trucks that were extremely dangerous. This reduces the possibility of secondary injury.

Although the high-explosive shells caused a fire on the deck, killing and injuring many people in the anti-aircraft gun emplacement, even the bridge was affected, and many people on the bridge were injured. However, the four high-explosive bombs that destroyed the flight deck were unable to sink the Poyang Lake. Not even the speed has slowed down.

"Sir!" Han Dongwen suddenly pounced on Tong Haifeng, who fell to the ground and injured his head due to the shock wave generated by the explosion, and shouted with an eager expression: "Medic!" Medic! ”

"I'm fine!" Tong Haifeng pushed Han Dongwen away vigorously, struggled to stand up, ignoring the blood flowing on his forehead, and suddenly pounced near the porthole, "How is the battleship?" Report the loss! Immediate Tube Loss! ”

A large warship that costs a lot and is in service in wartime is of great significance. No country, even the Ming Dynasty, could afford to bear the loss of such a warship. Not to mention the commander. Where can Tong Haifeng take care of his head, his heart is now full of worries about the Poyang Lake, don't sink.

The terrible sound of alarm bells resounded throughout the battleship, and countless officers and men rushed out to pounce on the blazing bombing point. Wearing heavy asbestos fireproof suits, the team members threw themselves into the thick black smoke to rescue their warship. The Poyang Lake also began to slow down gradually, and the warships around it leaned over to provide power support or directly use high-pressure water cannons to help extinguish the fire. Even the Fighting Falcon in the sky kept circling back and forth on the Poyang Lake after shooting down all the Japanese planes, worried about their aircraft carrier.

In fact, although the injuries of the Poyang Lake looked serious, the core was not damaged. The power system, ammunition and oil depots, as well as oil pipelines, are safe. All the damage is on deck.

After nearly 30 minutes of hard work, the huge fire on the Poyang Lake was finally brought under control. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally extinguished." Tong Haifeng, who was sitting in the chair, breathed a long sigh of relief. Raising his hand and wiping his forehead, which had been wrapped in gauze, he could finally feel the headache. When the battleship was hit and caught fire before, Tong Haifeng's heart was cold. The fire was so great that he thought the huge battleship would be burned to ashes.

"It's a stroke of luck that the Japanese don't use armor-piercing bullets." Han Dongwen walked to Tong Haifeng's side, took out a cigarette case and handed him a cigarette. At this time, no one cares about the ban on smoking on the bridge.

"Hmm." Tong Haifeng lit a cigarette and showed a rare satisfied smile on his face. After all, it was a beautiful 0-4. This has an irreplaceable effect on changing the balance of attack and defense between the two sides in the western Pacific at this time. After the Japanese started the war, the current violent attack is bound to be a pause, and then it is time for the Ming Navy to pull back the resounding slap with a backhand.

"The Surabaya shore-based flight team reported that they were going back and that they didn't have enough fuel to stay on." Han Dongwen took the telegram handed by the staff officer on the side and spoke softly.

"Oh." Tong Haifeng patted his head, he was busy fighting the fire, and he actually forgot about those war eagles in the sky. Surabaya is not close to this sea, and these shore-based aviation units have been here for a long time. Combined with the rapid attrition of the previous series of fierce battles, they were still stuck on the battlefield at this moment because the Fighting Falcon's fuel tank was large enough.

"Let them go back and replenish it, and send another batch of fighters over as soon as possible." Tong Haifeng was originally going to let these fighters land on the aircraft carrier to replenish it, after all, they are shore-based pilots and planes of Hainan Airlines, and landing on the aircraft carrier is not something that cannot be done.

It's just that no one wants to land on the Poyang Lake now. The only way to do this is to let the shore-based air forces, which have been there for a long time, leave first. As for the carrier's original carrier-based fighters, they will continue to hold out until the air defense fighters that flew from Coconut City to Surabaya and then from Surabaya arrive before leaving.

As for the Taihu Lake, which was already dozens of nautical miles away, Tong Haifeng was unwilling to let the intact battleship encounter any danger. In the days when the deck of the Poyang Lake was broken, and it took a month to replace and repair it (the armored deck was not a wooden deck, these decks had to be flown from the local factory to the Lion City, and engineers and mechanics were required. The Taihu Lake was the only force he could wield. Tong Haifeng was reluctant to expose the location of the Taihu Lake. He had already received information that there were many Japanese submarines operating in this area.

Seeing most of the battle falcons in the air fluttering their wings and flying in the direction of Java Island, Tong Haifeng suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead wrapped in gauze, and took a deep breath of his cigarette.

It didn't take long for the fleet to begin to accelerate again, continuing to run at high speed in the direction of Coconut City. He didn't want to be overtaken by the two Japanese aircraft carriers that hadn't been spotted by the dense reconnaissance net. By this time, the support planes coming from all over the country had been deployed or were on their way to the skies over the fleet, and Task Force 11 would soon be safe.

Ten minutes later, the hatch of the bridge was suddenly pushed open, and Tong Haifeng, who had fallen into a comfortable fantasy, turned his head to look over like everyone else. A panting staff officer looked at Tong Haifeng and shouted, "Enemy plane! Planes of the Japanese! ”

Let's talk about the situation on the battlefield in general. In the ever-changing and intricate battlefield, especially in the three-dimensional chaos of naval and air battles. Two groups of Ming fighters launched an attack on the Japanese fleet. And their reports are chaotic and contradictory.

It's like the Kaga has been attacked by two waves of aircraft, and so has the Soryu. On a battlefield full of bullets, it is almost impossible for a pilot to carefully discern which battleship the opponent is, let alone stop there and wait to see if the enemy ship is sunk. The second attack wave reported attacking the Wyvern, but did not say whether it had rendered it incapacitated! This requires the commander to make a judgment.

The two waves of attack aircraft in front and behind actually reported that a total of five aircraft carriers were sunk! This directly caused Tong Haifeng to not know that the Flying Dragon was not attacked! Tong Haifeng has been worried about the two missing aircraft carriers that have not been found. Unexpectedly, the Japanese fleet, which was still within the range of the attack, and had been reported to have lost its combat effectiveness after the attack, still had the strength to counterattack.

This wave of Japanese fighters was the Flying Dragon attack aircraft group led by Fuchida Mitsu Yunakasa. Before, they were busy putting out the fire, and everyone didn't pay attention. By the time the shore-based aviation units in Surabaya left, the radars of each ship regarded the Japanese aircraft group approaching in the distance as their own. By the time they realized something was wrong, the Japanese were already very close.

Nearly 20 Fighting Falcon in the sky above the fleet desperately accelerated forward to meet the battle, and the anti-aircraft gun positions of each ship also quickly entered a defensive state. It's just that compared to the previous wave of attacks, this time Task Force 11 is obviously inadequate.

Mitsuo Fuchida quickly broke through the Fighting Falcon's defenses with his fleet. The Fighting Falcon had already used up most of its ammunition in previous air defense operations, and they were unable to land and replenish the Poyang Lake because of the damage to its deck, so it was a little powerless to deal with the Japanese attack aircraft this time.

After losing some of their fighters, the Japanese fleet quickly broke through the outer defensive circle and went straight to the Poyang Lake aircraft carrier that was surrounded at the core. (To be continued.) )
