Chapter 227: Attack on Kaga

Li Zhi piloted his Stuka bomber, compared to a few months ago, at this time Li Zhi has become the leader of the first squad of the Stuka squadron, and his car was also painted by him with four small stars, more than five stars represent the ace pilot, and the most painful thing for him is that he piloted the Stuka bomber, not to mention how difficult it is to shoot down the enemy fighter.

This seems to be an impossible task at all, and there are very few examples of Stuka shooting down fighters or bombers in history, but in order to increase the interest of various units of the Air Force in participating in the war, Su Dao had to formulate a rule for drawing stars for the bomber squadron and the Stuka squadron.

Of course, Su Dao only put forward a rough idea, and the specific rules are still formulated by their own air force, and the fighter squadron can draw a star on its own fighter if it shoots down a fighter, and the fighter squadron has so far produced five ace pilots, ten four-star quasi-ace pilots, and more than ten three-star, as well as a few two-star and nearly a dozen one-star, and a few without stars.

On the other hand, on the side of the Stuka squadron, there is not a five-star one, only one four-star one, only one Li Zhi, no three-star one, three two-star ones, five one-star ones, and the rest are all starless. Of course, this is not to say that the strength of the Stuka squadron is not good, but when the rules were first formulated, the pilots of the Stuka squadron agreed that only those who have destroyed more than 100 enemies are qualified to draw a star.

After all, it is too simple to dive bombing to kill the enemy, if you are lucky, you can solve dozens of people with a shell, and you can add one or two stars to a mission, and the original rule was to destroy 50 enemies, or 5 cars or tanks, due to the high professionalism of the pilots, this rule was successfully upgraded to destroy 100 enemies or 10 cars or tanks.

So there is today's situation, since this period of time, many of the tasks carried out by the Stuka squadron are to follow the bomber squadron to bomb the railway, or to hit the enemy's supply lines, but the railroad has been blown up a lot, and the enemy's supply lines and shadows are difficult to see, and he himself has learned to be smart, basically marching at night and hiding during the day, or there is the cover of aviation, they can't find any chance to attack at all.

"Captain, it seems that we are almost in Kanto Prefecture (now Dalian, then Lushun), what should we do?" One of the pilots said as he looked at his current position.

"Get around." The captain of the Stuka squadron, Bi Hai, replied lightly, the task of this trip is to sneak attack the aircraft carrier of the Stuka, if it flies over the Kanto Prefecture with a swagger, it will definitely startle the snake, and it will not have the effect of a sneak attack, if the fighter plane that has flown out comes back to intercept them, whether the Stuka squadron can successfully find the aircraft carrier of the Stuka army is one thing.

Moreover, they did not know the location of the aircraft carrier, and after taking off from Jinxi Airport, they first flew along the area of Xingcheng and Suizhong, and then flew close to the coastline, and only then began to fly towards the sea when they almost bypassed the Japanese fleet. Although Stuka also has firepower for self-defense, it still has no advantage in fighting fighters.

And the configuration of Stuka's double can only play some role in a pinch, as for fighting fighters, don't think about it at all.

"It's not good, captain, the military fighter plane was found in the rear." Suddenly, one of the team members panicked.

The number of air forces of the 99th Army was not much, and the number of fighters was even less; in order to prepare for the attack on the naval aviation, all the fighters were on standby at the airport, although they took off at about the same time, and the fighters were heading straight for the battlefield, but it was not a good thing that the military aviation suddenly appeared here at this time.

And how did this group of military fighters appear here? How did they know that the Stuka squadron was here? After thinking about it carefully, Bi Hai could only treat this situation as a coincidence, because even he didn't know where he was going to fly to the next moment, and there was no specific destination, until he found the aircraft carrier, or the fuel was not enough to support a safe return.

Bi Hai looked back at the fighters behind him, and found that there were only more than a dozen, and judging from the volume of the fighters, they should be the carrier-based aircraft of the naval aviation.

"Eagle Eagle, I'm an old cat, where is your fleet?" Bi Hai adjusted the radio band in a few ways, and then began to call.

"I'm an eagle, and my fleet has just collided with a warship-based aircraft, and it's about to start." Soon, the eagle's reply came over the radio.

"I said, how did your squadron do it, how did you let the little devil's carrier-based aircraft run away more than a dozen planes? Hurry up and send fighter planes to support us, or you will most likely hear my last words today, we are close to Lushun. Bi Hai said hurriedly.

"Understand, our distance is not too far, it is estimated that they don't know how to find you, so I will send fighters to support you." The eagle smiled and replied.

At this time, they were indeed not far from the position of Lushun, and it would only take about 20 minutes for the fighters to run at full power, and according to this time, it was very likely that the military aviation would find them while passing by, but this also indirectly told them the location of the aircraft carrier.

After the news of the support fighters, the Stuka squadron had no worries, and directly circled the little devils at a maximum speed of 410 kilometers per hour, as long as they waited for the support fighters of the fighter squadron to come, they could continue to carry out the mission, anyway, it was a little difficult for the little devils at a speed of 410 kilometers to catch up with them.

More than ten minutes later, five fighters of a fighter squad that came to support appeared in front of everyone, and when they learned that the Stuka squadron was targeted by the army, they rushed over at a maximum speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, with the surname of the BF109E3 fighter, as long as the is done properly, the ten fighters that deal with the little devil are not a problem at all, and the sworn enemy of the BF109 fighter, the Spitfire, is still playing in Britain, and the little devil has no hope of getting it.

After the arrival of the fighter team, the Stuka squadron also slowly withdrew from the battlefield, and with the entanglement of their own fighters, although the little devil has the advantage of the number of fighters, it is difficult to withdraw and continue to pursue the Stuka squadron, and a lot of fuel was wasted when going around with them just now, so at this time, the Stuka squadron did not have time to continue to circle with them, but directly turned around to find the aircraft carrier of the Japanese army.

After about half an hour of flight, the aircraft carrier formation of the Yue Army finally appeared in front of the eyes of the Stuka squadron, facing the fighters that suddenly appeared, until the signs on the planes could be seen clearly, the Yue Army reacted, but all preparations were too late, when they began to defend the aircraft, several Stuka fighters had already begun to dive, and it was a fool's dream to hit him at this time.

After 34 years of major refits, the Kaga aircraft carrier has a capacity of 90 fighters on board, including 15 Type 90 fighters, 45 Type 89 attack aircraft and 30 Type 94 dive bombers.

On the aircraft carrier docked here, there are only 30 Type 94 dive bombers that are preparing to take off at this time, as for the fighters and attack planes, they are all sent out to fight the fighter squadron, 50 against 60, and it can even be said that the 99th Army has an absolute certainty of victory, after all, the fighters on their side are much more advanced than the little devils, if the little devils have the Zero now, it is estimated that the two sides can still fight.

'Ming! Toll! Toll! ’

As soon as the Stuka bomber entered the bombing range, without saying a word, it directly entered the dive state, which startled the Yujun Type 94 dive bomber that was about to take off, but also had to sigh at the quality of the pilots, even if they were facing the fate of being blown up, they still tried their best to fly the fighter before the bomb fell on the aircraft carrier.

The Kaga aircraft carrier, which had lost the protection of the fighter plane, was simply unable to resist the attack of the Stuka dive bomber at this time, perhaps due to nervousness or something, the first 250 kg to fall from the Stuka dive bomber did not hit the Kaga aircraft carrier, and this also gave the Japanese carrier-based aircraft that was about to take off more time to take off.

However, there is not much time left for the little devils, when the first bomb fell into the water, the second bomb followed, and this bomb also gave the little devils a headache, no one thought that Su Dao still had the ability to send dive bombers to sneak attack the army fleet, originally thought that their carrier-based aircraft could completely contain Su Dao's fighters.

It is precisely for this reason that it led to the destruction of the little devil this time, and the army told the navy about the strength of the 99th Army earlier, but these guys in the navy were self-righteous, thinking that it was normal for the army to not be able to fight, and they also mocked the army because of this matter, but when they really encountered it, they knew how true the army's words were, but unfortunately it was too late.

'Boom! ’

A 250-kilogram aerial bomb directly hit a Type 94 dive bomber that was about to take off, and the military fighters loaded with fuel and bombs instantly burst into greater power, and a fire instantly burned on the deck of the aircraft carrier, and the bombs on this fighter plane also affected several fighters in the vicinity, and the two fighters closest to each other also caught fire, and the surrounding ground crew members were even more killed and wounded.

Seeing the two fighters on fire, the officer hurriedly ordered the soldiers to quickly take down the bombs from the two fighters, or push them directly into the sea, because he had clearly seen the location of the fire, which was the fuel tank of the fighter. If they are allowed to burn for a while, it is estimated that it will affect other fighters.

'Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ’

Although only one bomb landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier of the 99th Army for the time being, it was very unfortunate that the ground crews of the Army did not choose to directly push the fighter into the sea in order to rescue the bomb, because this could not completely solve the danger caused by the bomb, and the bomb would definitely hit the aircraft carrier at the same time that the fighter plane fell into the sea, and it would still explode if it was not good, so they decided to take down the bomb first and then push the fighter into the sea.

But what they didn't expect was that the fire was getting hotter and hotter, and even the bomb couldn't continue to endure it, and it exploded directly. In an instant, the surrounding little devils were killed and injured again, and the explosion of this fighter plane eventually affected several fighters around, and according to the situation in front of them, except for the two fighters that took off smoothly just now, the other fighters seemed to have lost the conditions for taking off.

Yoshifu, the captain of the Kaga aircraft carrier, said that the three major Sasa looked at their aircraft carrier, and suddenly felt extremely desperate in their hearts, they had the most experienced pilots in combat, but they were still careless. (To be continued.) )
