This air raid by the Naval Resistance Army really hurt Japan.

The Japanese army has now begun a complete madness. The fighters of the Naval Resistance Army have withdrawn, and the devils on the ground are still firing wildly, machine guns and even rifles are firing, shooting down countless air, and occasionally a few sparrows.

The Naval Resistance Army really stabbed the hornet's nest this time. Just look at the performance of the Japanese army, you can see how angry the devil is: not only almost all the Japanese fighters around Tokyo took off, but also a few cities a little farther away, all kinds of Japanese fighters also took off.

In the early hours of the morning, the number of warplanes taking off from Japan even exceeded 1,000, and almost all the planes on the Japanese mainland were lifted into the air, like mad dogs, scurrying in the surrounding seas.

There are all kinds of fighters, including advanced Zero fighters and old-fashioned 96 fighters. There are also training biplanes, army fighters, army bombers, navy bombers, and miscellaneous aircraft that can barely be named, which can be called a hodgepodge of Japanese air power.

These fighters took off from all directions, and most of them were still somewhat conscious, and they flew into the sea one after another. The devil is desperate, whether he has experience in flying at sea or not, he is frantically looking for a target.

It was really terrible for the devils to go crazy, and many planes ran out of fuel and continued to search aimlessly, and finally crashed into the sea and died in the belly of the fish. Some of the old Japanese fighters were not equipped with long-distance communication equipment at all, and the pilots did not know how to find the target, but they kept blindly tracking them.

After the war, it was said that more than 80 planes crashed in Japan that day.

In the entire operation of the Naval Resistance Force, it was not difficult to get close to the Japanese mainland and the bombing mission itself, after all, it was calculated by heart or not, and although there were risks, it was not the highest difficulty. The greatest difficulty focused on the safe evacuation of the fleet.

The first contributor to the evacuation of the 1st Task Force was Qi Chang. This guy did not participate in the bombing of Tokyo. Instead, he flew the Zero fighter and circled around Tokyo.

He did drop something, but instead of bombs, thousands of leaflets.

These leaflets were all handwritten by the brothers of the Navy.

Such as rhetoric: horses in Tokyo. Mt. Fuji raised the Tang flag.

If there is a lewd point: wash your ass and wait.

There's a gray wolf: we'll be back.

There is Zhen Huan-style: Tokyo has beautiful scenery, and it must be very good with a little firelight.

There is also the XX style: Emperor Hirohito, prepare the concubine, prepare the princess, wait for me to be lucky. There are also many blunt intimidations: hanging Hirohito. These flyers. They are all over the place. Seeing that some leaflets had drifted into the fire and turned into ashes, Qi Chang shuddered twice and quickly turned his head, but he didn't see it. This thing cannot be said if some of the brothers know about it. The leaflet that he had worked so hard to write was burned by him, and I am afraid that a few drops of saliva will be missed.

Wait for the Japanese fighters to just start taking off. The devil pilot heard it on the public channel: "The position of the enemy ship." North-East (Japanese custom) direction, 30 degrees, 400 km. ”

The Tokyo accent is ha, and the taste is very positive. Qi Chang has practiced for a long time, and this sentence is very skillful and smooth.

Originally, these devils didn't have a godly direction. Since there was someone in command, they were very obedient, and for a time they all began to pursue in the northeast direction.

In other words, this is the most elite air force left in Tokyo by Japan. More than 100 fighters were fooled into the cold wind of Hokkaido by Qi Chang in this way.

Qi Chang was addicted to flickering and commanded such a large number of fighters, and he continued to fly around Tokyo without getting enough of it. Japanese fighters continued to gather in the sky over Tokyo from all over the country, and Qichang continued to flicker in full swing. However, Qi Chang encountered a new problem:

Sometimes when encountering Japanese fighters, the channels are different and cannot communicate. Qi Chang had a flexible brain, opened the hatch, and gestured to direct the devils to fly northeast.

Qi Chang is more and more happy, and he gives orders in the public channel with a mouthful of babes, making the devil's ground command confused. After playing Tokyo, Qichang began to fly towards the coast and continued to flicker and make trouble. On this morning, Qi Chang encountered two or three hundred Japanese fighters, but not a single Japanese plane doubted him. The aircraft of this year does not have a friend or foe identification system, and this aircraft of Qichang is definitely an original and genuine Nissan Zero fighter. And the outfit is the most authentic leather suit of a Japanese aircraft carrier pilot. Looks, Qi Chang has a pair of eight-character eyebrows, and everyone says that they can't see the difference between him and the Japanese. As for the voice, Tokyo flavor.

In fact, if Qichang does not make trouble, it is difficult for the devil's command system to bear the command of more than a thousand aircraft.

The little devil has no life, and he flies together from airports in various places and begins to fly to the sea in the east. There are smart people who still want to get the credit of a "diligent king" and fly over Tokyo, of course, which adds to the burden of Tokyo's air command system.

The air defense command system of the little devils was in disarray all morning, and even if the troops of these "Qin Wang" made contact with the ground, it would be difficult for the Tokyo side to obtain unified command at all. The devil commander had never seen such a chaotic scene, and his shouting voice was on fire, but he had no way to give orders, only to add to the chaos.

Qi Chang circled around Japan until about 10 o'clock in the morning, and then determined his position and began to return to the east. During the five-hour flight, Qichang had enough opportunity to shoot and kill several Japanese planes. However, this Zero fighter has already been ordered by Admiral Nimitz of the US Pacific Fleet, and there is absolutely no room for failure. Once damaged, it will not only be Li Guang's distrust of General Nimitz, but more importantly, how to get antiaircraft artillery shells from the United States in the future. Qi Chang's biggest gain was that he used up all the film in the automatic camera, and the tragic situation in Tokyo was recorded one by one.

Qi Chang made great contributions, but even Qi Chang led away the most elite Tokyo Garrison Air Force of the Japanese army. The evacuation of the naval resistance fleet was not easy either. At 5:40 a.m., the fleet of the Maritime Resistance Army returned home. After recovering the fighters, it was already more than six o'clock in the morning. The structure of the aircraft carrier Indian Ocean has considerable advantages, and it can be used to release fighters while recovering fighters. However, this time the Indian Ocean aircraft carrier made an all-deck sortie. Moreover, the Indian Ocean carried one hundred and four fighters, and it was impossible to put all of them in the hangar, so the entire refueling and bomb hanging work was quite complicated. Not to mention that all fighters are combat-ready, even if only twenty Wildcat fighters are combat-ready, at least after 6:40. Therefore. From 5:40 to 6:40, a whole hour, the safety of the Naval Resistance Fleet completely depended on the 24 Wildcat fighters on the aircraft carrier Liberty Dragon. This was the weakest stage of the Naval Resistance Army, but it was the long-awaited moment for Liu Gensheng, the flight captain on the Liberty Dragon. Liu Gensheng is an old pilot, but he has been training on Shixiang Island in the second half of 42 years, and has not had the opportunity to participate in the war, and his record so far is still to shoot down four Japanese fighters. You must know that Tu Yuanchao, the deputy captain of the Liberty Dragon aircraft carrier and the current captain of the Army Air Corps, had eight records before the end of the year, and still occupied the first place among the ace pilots. Liu Gensheng is really anxious. He who wants to fight. The morning sun was not bright, and there were many dim clouds in the sky. In such weather, the visibility is not bad, and it is not very difficult for the Japanese fighters to reconnoitre. The alert circle of the Maritime Resistance Army is not large. Only a radius of eighty kilometers. Half of the 24 radar-equipped reconnaissance planes are patrolling in the air at any given time. The fleet to the west is guaranteed. That is, an early warning from the direction of the Japanese mainland. The 12 water reconnaissance planes on the battleship Atlantic had also taken off and began to reconnoiter a fan of 180 degrees to the east. The Navy's style of attaching importance to reconnaissance has penetrated deeply into the hearts of every commander, and the Navy's resistance to combat has dispatched 24 fighters just to guard against it, and 12 of them are ready to be replaced at any time. Setting the circle of air alert at 80 kilometers is justified by the Maritime Resistance Army itself. The reason is that the effective radius of the air defense radar on the Liberty Dragon is one hundred and fifty kilometers. But in fact, in such not very bad sea conditions, at a distance of 80 kilometers, the radar operator will not lose his aircraft. Of course, at this distance. Radar is also relatively easy to detect anomalies. The reconnaissance planes of the Maritime Resistance Army, which are equipped with radars, can completely guarantee the detection of Japanese fighters in advance within this range. The shipborne radar, together with the airborne radar, can provide the aircraft carrier with an early warning at a distance of a hundred kilometers, creating about twenty minutes of preparation time for the aircraft carrier. If a reconnaissance plane is not equipped with radar, it can completely control the sea surface, but it cannot completely control the sky. After two months of exploration, the Maritime Resistance Force has gained a certain amount of experience, and under such weather conditions, as long as the radar does not malfunction, such a warning radius is absolutely tight. Although the power of science and technology has not yet reached the level of complete control of the battlefield, it has become a channel for improving combat effectiveness. However, this distance is still quite far from Li Guang's expectations. A warning distance of 100 kilometers is really not enough. Five forty-five minutes. Reconnaissance plane No. 7 spotted a Japanese fighter for the first time. On the aircraft carrier Liberty Dragon, six Wildcat fighters quickly rose into the air. At 5:55, the first air battle of the 13th broke out in the sky. Every fighter of the Naval Resistance Force has the advantage of a telecommunications guide. In a short air battle, the Japanese fighters were cut off without even seeing the warships of the naval resistance army. The Liberty Dragon was victorious, and the knife was tried, shooting down three Japanese planes, and none of them were damaged, Liu Gensheng added to his achievements and was one step closer to the five victories of the ace pilots. If this little battle is the first round, then from six o'clock, the battle is no longer round. The Japanese planes did not have a unified command at all, and they appeared inside and outside the early warning circle of the naval resistance fleet. At this time, the Naval Resistance Army could only passively see the moves, and the rhythm of the fight began to become chaotic. Although the rhythm was a little chaotic, the Japanese army did not have a unified command, and the air power could not form a joint force at all, but only appeared in groups in the sky. This is cheap Liu Gensheng and a group of fighter pilots who were holding their stomachs, and during the battle, the Japanese planes were cut down by the superior air power of the Naval Resistance Army almost in a single round. From six o'clock to seven o'clock, an hour of fighting, the Naval Resistance Army killed 24 Japanese fighters of various kinds at the cost of crashing one and wounding one. In just such an hour, the Maritime Resistance Army added two ace pilots, and Liu Gensheng was one of them. Beginning at seven o'clock, Japanese fighters began to gradually become scarce. However, this is not the end of the battle, but the beginning of the big war. The whereabouts of the First Task Force of the Maritime Resistance Army have been discovered by the Japanese army, and Zheng Xuechang, as the commander of the fleet, knows this very well. In the densely guarded areas of Japan, it is not easy to escape without being detected. In just over an hour, the 12 water reconnaissance planes on the battleship Atlantic had already taken out two Japanese patrol boats in succession. Presumably, after the initial confusion, the unified command of the Japanese army has been established (in fact, Zheng Xuechang looked down on the command system of the Japanese army). Zheng Xuechang continued to calculate: At seven o'clock, the 1st Task Force was about 400 kilometers away from the Japanese coastline. Under normal circumstances, Task Force 1 would need to sail 300 kilometers to get out of danger. At a speed of thirty knots, it would take about six hours. Six hours, that is, thirteen o'clock in the afternoon. Or even seven hours, maybe longer. --- silence on the battlefield did not last long. It's past eight o'clock. The first organized group of Japanese troops was spotted by reconnaissance aircraft. A full sixty-five Japanese fighters. Crazy pounced on the naval resistance fleet. Forty Wildcat fighters quickly struck from two aircraft carriers. Not only that, Zheng Xuechang also sent twenty-four dive bombers to reinforce him.

Although the dreadnought dive bomber was no match for the Japanese Zero fighter, its performance was not bad, surpassing almost all the light bombers of the Japanese army. More importantly, the bombers of the Naval Resistance Force did not need to hang bombs, their movements were flexible, and they also had considerable survivability under the strikes of Japanese fighters. And the Japanese bombers and torpedo planes, as long as they were hung with bombs or torpedoes, were definitely not opponents. In this fierce aerial strangulation, the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft once again scored a record of 6 to 35. Especially the Wildcat fighter with rocket thrusters. The performance was even more brilliant, killing fourteen Zero fighters of the Japanese army, while losing only one of them.

The pilots of the Naval Resistance Army at this time were not highly skilled, but thanks to their familiarity with the Japanese Zero fighters, all the pilots without exception had conducted confrontation training with the Zero fighters. Plus there are more rocket boosters. It's just one more chance to survive. What's more, the devil has begun to weaken. The quality of pilots has deteriorated sharply. In such a large group of fighters, there were extremely few Japanese air combat masters. In the fierce battle, there were still quite a few loopholes in the air defense of the Maritime Resistance Army, and the problem of the close warning distance appeared. The distance of 100 kilometers is enough time for the fighters of the Maritime Resistance Army to take off, but once the fighters intercept and fail to shoot down the enemy planes in the first round, it is possible that the opponent will quickly break through to the sky over the fleet.

Six Japanese fighters broke through the interception of the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army. However, they were all shot down by the powerful anti-aircraft fire of the Naval Resistance Army.

DURING THE BATTLE, THE 127MM CLOSE-FIRE ANTI-AIRCRAFT ARTILLERY SHELLS PROVIDED BY THE US MILITARY BEGAN TO SHOW THEIR POWER. SIX 127MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS ON THE BATTLESHIP ATLANTIC, TWO 127MM GUNS ON THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER LIBERTY, PLUS SIX 127MM NAVAL GUNS ON THE DESTROYER PINGWEI. A total of fourteen large-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

The anti-aircraft firepower of the Maritime Resistance Force itself is strong enough, and with these fourteen large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, the capital ships protected are like an impregnable wall. Two of the downed Japanese fighters were the result of these 14 127mm guns.

In terms of quantity, the 127MM gun was less than one-thirtieth of the fleet's anti-aircraft fire, but the result was one-third, and the effectiveness of the proximity fuse can be seen.

At 8:45 a.m., the remnants of the Japanese fighters withdrew, and the First Task Force of the Naval Resistance Army withstood the first wave of organized air strikes by the Japanese army.

Although it is not perfect, the tactics and techniques planned by the Naval Resistance Force have achieved initial results, and with the pilots of the existing quality, it is already quite good to play such a record, and Zheng Xuechang feels a little relieved. This tactic has been practiced many times by the Naval Resistance Army, but it is the first time that it has been used in actual combat. There is a lot of planning, and it seems perfect on paper, but when it comes to actual combat, it becomes a joke. This tactic of the Naval Resistance Force has been tested on the battlefield and is effective. However, there are also considerable problems, such as the slightly larger number of enemy aircraft in the presence of telecommunications guides, and there will be confusion.

In the North Pacific, it is the season when the southeast wind blows, and the warm ocean air flow blows from the southeast to the northwest.

At nine o'clock, the naval resistance fleet was already 450 kilometers away from the coastline of the Japanese mainland. Out of the most tightly controlled strike range of the Japanese army. Such a distance can basically avoid the strike range of most Japanese fighters.

However, this is still not out of danger, you must know that the combat radius of the Japanese Zero fighter reaches 700 kilometers. The Japanese air force, which was already frenzied, could strike even a thousand kilometers without considering the return of fighters.

The naval resistance fleet began at nine o'clock, adjusted its course slightly, and began to sail against the wind. If you look at the route extension, it is exactly in the direction of Midway. Such a course angle is not very advantageous for breaking away from the 700-kilometer air strike circle of the Japanese army, but it can ensure that the aircraft carrier can fly fighters at any time. If the naval resistance fleet wants to break out of the strike circle of Japanese fighters along such a route, it will not be able to do so until at least 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

－－

It was only at nine o'clock that Japan's chain of command gradually changed from disorder and chaos to a slight adjustment. By the time one of the most elite aviation units of the Japanese army returned, it was already more than ten o'clock. This air force, which has more than 100 fighters, was fooled by Qi Chang to Hokkaido, drank cold wind for several hours, and has already missed the best fighters.

This group of Japanese air forces had just landed. was scolded by the commander for a bloody sprinkler.

The flight commander, whose face was scarred, was furious, and his mouth was constantly cursing viciously.

Counting on this group of aviation troops to defend the emperor, defend a piece of, and fly north in a daze, and it is still unclear who gave the order. What is even more infuriating is that the fighters that returned at 10 o'clock made less than a hundred sorties. The rest either wandered around the sky or ran out of fuel, and when they landed at other airports, there were also angry young people who ran out of fuel and planted themselves in the sea, in the company of fish and turtles.

Right now. A Japanese naval officer with the rank of rear admiral stopped the guy who was spewing feces all over his mouth, this was Rear Admiral Takijiro Onishi, head of the Japanese Navy's logistics department. Among the Japanese air forces, Onishi Takijiro has a considerable reputation, and the perfect installation of the Zero fighter has considerable credit to Onishi Takijiro. And the Japanese flight commander with burn scars on his face, don't even think about it. Definitely burned in the Battle of Midway, among the Japanese pilots. It's not uncommon to have such a burn mark.

Takijiro Onishi brewed his emotions. With tears in his eyes, he said to a dry pilot:

"His Majesty the Emperor is frightened, and this is a disgrace to my generation of soldiers. It's up to you to wash away your shame today, warriors, the Empire's air pride, attack. Be sure to blow up and sink the enemy ships and make the ghost animals pay. Let the oni beast gate tremble in front of His Majesty the Emperor's warriors. ”

If Onishi Takijiro's words can be regarded as a means of encouragement before the war, the latter sentence is the focus of what he wants to say today: "I will send you a word, if the bombing misses, it will collide, and one plane will be exchanged for one ship." Anameasu will bless you. You will endure your name. ”

Onishi Takijiro is well aware of the level of this group of aviation. Although it is already a very good group in Japan, most of them are novices, and they cannot be compared with the elite who attacked Pearl Harbor, and their quality in all aspects is seriously insufficient. If you want to inflict heavy damage on the American ghosts, you must play self-destruction tactics.

The bombing of Tokyo by the Naval Resistance Army actually made the Japanese army's most famous death attack, the kamikaze attack, come out ahead of schedule. When the devil pilots heard about this method of sending them to death, they were not afraid, but screamed and stepped onto the fighter. These guys who have the spirit of bushido, but they are self-aware, and they know that their level is insufficient, and after Onishi Takijiro made a move, it seems that he suddenly saw the light. Crazy shouted: "Kill them, one machine for one ship." ”

－－－－－

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the 13th, the naval resistance fleet was already nearly 700 kilometers away from the Japanese mainland, and just when Zheng Xuechang thought that it was basically out of danger, the alarm sounded again. The vigilant fighters of the Maritime Resistance Army once again discovered that a large number of Japanese fighters were approaching.

The Naval Resistance Force has exercised that if there are not more than twice the number of fighters, it will be difficult to intercept enemy fighters approaching the fleet. Zheng Xuechang estimated that this may be the last batch of fighters to see off the Naval Resistance Army.

The battlefield intuition told Zheng Xuechang that this was also the most dangerous batch.

As a result, Zheng Xuechang sent all the fighters and dive bombers of the Naval Resistance Army at one time. A total of seventy-six aircraft were lifted into the air. As for the TBD torpedo machine, its performance was too poor to be suitable for combat duty, so it remained in the hangar.

This was the fiercest air battle experienced by the pilots of the Naval Resistance Army. After a day of intense fighting, the pilots of the Naval Resistance Army were extremely exhausted. Similarly, the little devil's pilot also flew for seven or eight hours, and his muscles were sore.

During the battle, both the naval resistance army and the Japanese army made many mistakes. But the Maritime Resistance Army is relatively better,

The pilots had chocolate to replenish their stamina. And the little devil was miserable, not only did he not eat breakfast, but even when he took off from the Tokyo airport again, he only cared about catching a few cold rice balls to satisfy his hunger, at this time many devils were dizzy from hunger, and their flight movements were seriously deformed.

After half an hour of aerial entanglement, the Naval Resistance Army shot down 54 Japanese fighters at the cost of nine fighter planes crashing and 21 fighters being injured.

During the battle, rocket boosters were used on all forty fighters. This shows the intensity of the battle. Rocket boosters, for Wildcat fighters, are the last means of life, and fighter jets generally do not use rocket boosters unless they have to.

The vigilance system of the air ring of the Naval Resistance Force once again worked wonders, and many dizzy Japanese pilots who were hungry and dizzy actually swept past the fleet from a distance without being shot down by the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army. Just by searching the sea surface with eyesight, the naval resistance fleet was not visible on the battlefield of air combat at all, and it was not surprising that it lost its way. This is a harvest that the Naval Resistance Army did not expect.

The performance of the pilots of the Naval Resistance Army was impressive, but there were too many Japanese fighters, and more than a dozen Japanese fighters still approached the fleet.

Zheng Xuechang was frightened by the madness of the devil in the bridge, and he broke out in a cold sweat one after another. The madness of the Japanese army was beyond his imagination, and he actually drove the fighter plane straight into the naval resistance warship. The last means of air defense of the Maritime Resistance Army exerted their might, and they evaded the kamikaze attack of the Japanese fighters in every danger.

In less than an hour, almost 2,000 proximity fuse shells were used. At the height of the battle, the battleship Atlantic was forced to fire from its main guns, blasting a jungle of water columns on the sea.

Onishi Takijiro hurriedly sacrificed a kamikaze special attack tactic, which was very imperfect. If the Zero fighter is playing kamikaze, the movement is more flexible, the body is smaller, and the chance of success is greater. And these devil pilots are all playing special attacks with various bombers, and in the face of the dense wall-like bullet rain of the naval resistance army, there is almost no possibility of survival for the gods.

After withstanding this wave of Japanese attacks, the naval resistance fleet was truly out of danger. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Xuechang ordered the fleet to change direction again and sail eastward.

After a night of direct high-speed sailing, the First Task Force of the Naval Resistance Force was already more than 1,500 kilometers away from Japan, returned to the sea, broke the waves and rode the wind straight to the South Pacific.
