ps: Okay, **Xiao Chao made a mistake again...... Chapter 1062 was uploaded, but it was not released...... I had to make up for it today...... I'm sorry everybody......

The Japanese fighters were crazy, and after the Wehrmacht fighters appeared, they randomly dropped airborne bombs on the positions. Then rush back to the vicinity of the carrier as fast as possible, trying to prevent the Wehrmacht fighters from attacking the carrier.

Once there is a problem with the aircraft carrier, then their fate can be imagined. They soon discovered that the primary target of these Wehrmacht fighters was not their own aircraft carriers, but landing ships of the Army.

The Japanese fighters who discovered this problem had no choice but to rush over and try to help. Although they dropped the bombs to reduce their weight, they did not carry much ammunition because it was a bombing mission.

But they did not get as close to the transports as they had imagined, because the Wehrmacht fighters intercepted them. After the air battle on the Weijiang front line and in the waters of Annam, although the base camp gave a certain supplement, the Japanese army still did not have more than 150 fighters.

Among these fighters, there are more than a dozen reconnaissance planes. More than 30 are under repair for various reasons. In other words, there are only more than 110 fighters that can really participate in the battle.

......After the Japanese fighters approached, the Wehrmacht fighters launched the first attack, four heavy machine guns. The flying bullets tore through the air at high speed, and the bullet holes the size of fists burst out on the Japanese fighters that were hit, and even several Japanese fighters that were hit exploded into a cloud of smoke and flames on the spot, and fell miserably with the wind......

These navy fighters are not only equipped with heavy machine guns, but even the ammunition is the latest tungsten core armor-piercing incendiary bomb developed by the National Defense Force Research Institute.

This ammunition was developed by the National Research Institute of the National Defense Forces on the basis of Gao Zhihang's report on the continuous strengthening of the armor of Japanese fighters. In fact, steel-core shells and armor-piercing incendiary bombs were developed very early.

However, the two were not combined at the time, and even the Mauser 13.2mm anti-tank rifle, developed by the Germans during World War I, was used separately.

At that time, the Mauser 13.2mm anti-tank rifle was standard. It is steel-core armor-piercing shells and armor-piercing incendiary shells.

After Gao Zhihang strengthened the protection of the Japanese fighters, the researchers of the National Defense Forces Research Institute began to consider how to deal with it. The earliest proposed plan was to strengthen the 20mm caliber cannon to deal with the Japanese fighters.

However, if you carry a cannon, the weight of the aircraft will increase a lot. And the ammunition is not as much as the heavy machine gun, because researchers began to turn their attention to armor-piercing shells.

After many trials and modifications, this ammunition was developed with a tungsten core with armor-piercing incendiary function. It was used exclusively for aviation operations, and for the first time it was assigned to troops in actual combat.

"Boom!!" In terms of actual combat effect, this kind of ammunition is definitely worthy of the high price of developing and manufacturing it. Any Japanese fighter plane that was hit as long as it was hit. The only fate is to be ignited and fall.

They didn't even have the strength to fight back, and even if the Japanese fighters were hit, as long as it was not a critical part, they could still struggle crookedly for a while. They were even able to make a forced landing.

But now, they don't have that chance. This newly developed airborne machine gun bullet not only ensures its own power in terms of armor penetration. At the same time, it also showed its power in terms of destruction.

An armor-piercing incendiary bomb is a warhead that wraps a layer around a tungsten core. The warhead is evenly coated with aluminum and magnesium powder, and then wrapped in a layer of bullet clothing. When the warhead collides with the fighter at high speed, the outer bullet armor will break and shatter the armor of the aircraft, while the magnesium powder and aluminum powder inside will instantly burn under the high-speed impact.

Finally, the bullet armor wrapped in the tungsten core will be shattered, and the extremely penetrating tungsten core will directly penetrate all the possible protection of the fighter, and the burning aluminum powder and magnesium powder will unceremoniously ignite the inside of the fighter at once!

The inside of the fighter plane burned up. Then the fate of this fighter was decided. In particular, this combustion is caused by aluminium and magnesium powders, which directly melt the steel. And then ......

"Boom!!" A Japanese fighter plane burst into flames after being hit, and soon the flames spread to the fuel and ammunition tanks. In the end, the entire fighter exploded and disintegrated directly in the air.

The Japanese pilots could not even parachute, and they were already shattered by the bombing of the fighter planes.

"Red Deer Noro! Annihilate them! Annihilate them!! Captain Rin Fujioka, who was directing operations in the air, didn't care whether the pilots below would be able to hear his commands. Crazy and constantly roaring in the fighter.

But the Japanese pilots were now fighting very reluctantly, after first experiencing a fight with the Wehrmacht war eagles on the Wei River, and then a life-and-death struggle in the waters of Annam.

In these two battles, the Japanese army did not take advantage of anything. Opposite. Their losses are not small. At the same time, on the way to Manila Bay, Yamamoto Isoroku kept asking them to be in combat readiness. These pilots don't have much time to rest.

Exhaustion, which leads to slackness. Having just experienced more than an hour of high-intensity bombardment, it can be said that the Japanese pilots have reached the brink of collapse, and what they need most now is rest.

Of course, there were also some Japanese pilots who could rest permanently. The navy's sea eagles will send them to hell for a permanent rest.

"Avoid! Circumvent!! "Those Japanese fighters had a hard time, and the landing ships of the Japanese Army were even more troublesome. Having lost the protection of the cruisers, their massive hulls were the biggest targets.

Despite their best efforts to avoid the Wehrmacht bombers, they were unable to completely avoid the bombs......

"Put all the small ships down at once, and everyone will attack the beach with small ships!" As the commander of the Japanese Army, Yamashita quickly analyzed the situation facing the Japanese army now.

He needs to immediately start using the small boats on the landing ships to carry out landing operations, otherwise it will definitely be too late to let the landing ships sail to a fixed area and then log in according to the predetermined plan.

"Chirp...... Rumble!! "A heavy rocket-booster bomb accurately hit a Japanese Army transport ship, and the bomb used the dive throwing force of the bomber and the rocket thrust force to penetrate the battleship's overtime at once.

Then a violent explosion sounded on the sea, and the transport ship was directly blown into two parts in the explosion. Countless fragments of the corpses of Japanese soldiers flew on the surface of the sea. Wailings, screams, and explosions rang out.

The Japanese transport ship, which was broken in two, quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, and at the same time, the whirlpool caused by the wreck continued to suck away those who had just been put down by the whirlpool, and the Japanese soldiers turned into corpses floating on the sea before they could scream......

"Quick! Start logging in now! Fast!! Yamashita roared as hard as he could, and the Japanese officers also knew the seriousness of the problem, and began to put down the small boats on the landing ships in an attempt to start a landing operation on the tidal flats.

What Yamashita Fengwen didn't know was that the tiger roar at the gate at the other end of the beach was assembled, and it was Yamashita Fengwen's small boat unit that was directly opposite.

"One round, change positions immediately after the launch!" The commander next to Tiger Roar looked at his watch, then looked at the Japanese boat from a distance, but did not give the order to launch.

These tiger roars have just arrived here from inside Manila. The detachability of the Tiger Roar gives it good maneuverability. As a result, these Tiger Roars can be transported here and assembled very quickly.

The Tiger Roar rockets are simpler, and basically a soldier can carry two rockets on his back for transportation. Many large families in Manila were exterminated, and their demise left behind a lot of assets.

And a large number of ploughing cattle. is one of those assets. These cattle have now been requisitioned by the Nanyang Army Division and used to pull artillery shells and send them to the positions.

And a lot of carts were also improvised and used to transport artillery shells to the position.

"Chirp...... Rumble!! "This heavy bomb exploded next to Yamashita Fengwen's ship, and although it didn't hit the transport ship directly, the huge waves and impact of the explosion still made the transport ship shake uncontrollably.

Many of the Japanese soldiers on the ship screamed and fell from the transport ship into the sea.

Yamamoto Isoroku was very anxious about the current war situation, but he was helpless. Their own fighters were dragged over the mudflats by Wehrmacht fighters.

And although the cruiser force wanted to rush to the side of those transport ships as an aviation escort, they were powerless. Aircraft carriers also need escorts. It was impossible for Yamamoto Isoroku to send all the cruisers to protect the transports.

"Hold on...... Now as long as we hold on to ......" Yamamoto Fifty-six muttered to himself, staring closely at the bridge window and watching the battle outside.

What the Japanese army needs most now is to support it. As long as the landing of the army is successful, then the task of the navy is half completed. When the time comes, they will be able to call at the port. And let the army occupy airfields to ensure the temporary take-off and landing of naval fighters.

At that time, the Wehrmacht saw that they were unable to prevent the Japanese landing, so they would naturally retreat. Otherwise, they will be greeted by a recovering Japanese counterattack.

"Chirp...... Rumble!! "Another Japanese Army transport ship was hit directly, the bomb penetrated the deck and exploded in the hull. The entire transport ship was directly blown in two. The boats around the transports were either sunk by the debris of the explosion or sucked away by the whirling of the sunken ship.

At this time, Manila Bay had been dyed in blood, and countless Japanese soldiers were constantly wailing and screaming on the sea. And the Japanese soldiers who had already boarded the dinghy did not care at all to rescue the people who had fallen into the water. Their task now is to land on the tidal flats as quickly as possible.

The Japanese Navy fighters in the sky originally did not carry much fuel and ammunition, and after a short period of high-intensity combat, they had reached the end of their crossbows.

Fortunately, at this time, the second echelon of the Wehrmacht Navy arrived, and those Wehrmacht fighters with little fuel and ammunition left also chose to return to replenish fuel and ammunition.

The Japanese were able to breathe, and a large number of fighters returned to the Japanese aircraft carriers to begin replenishing ammunition and fuel. In order to replenish the fighters with ammunition and fuel as soon as possible, the Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet chose to have the aircraft carrier ground crew send both fuel and ammunition to the deck to replenish as soon as possible.

At this time, several Wehrmacht bombers suddenly appeared in the sky above these aircraft carriers, which caught all the Japanese troops off guard. No one noticed when these bombers came, they came so suddenly, so quickly.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" These fighters dropped heavy bombs extremely quickly, and then flew away without looking.

And the damage they inflicted was terrible, two of these mace heavy bombs hit the deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier. At this time, the deck of the aircraft carrier was piled with a large amount of ammunition and fuel, and after the bomb hit, the flames and explosions paralyzed the entire aircraft carrier at once.

The scariest thing is. The fighters and ground crews who had just landed on the aircraft carrier were instantly engulfed in explosions and flames. The violent explosion even threw aerial bombs high on the deck, and some of the bombs actually fell on the cruisers and battleships escorting the aircraft carrier, causing ripple damage.

"Boom, boom, boom......" explosions one after another, and the corners of Yamamoto's eyes continued to twitch. And the Japanese naval officers on those battleships were pale-faced and ordered each ship to start stopping losses. Some of the Japanese fighters who did not land tried to pursue these Wehrmacht, but on the one hand they found themselves running out of fuel and on the other hand, they did not have much ammunition.

"Let Yamashita Fengwen speed up the landing, I only have this one chance now! I don't care what the price he pays, I must take the port and airport of Manila right away! Right now! Right away!! Yamamoto Fifty-six ordered in an almost roaring manner.

As soon as the telegraph officers responded loudly, they immediately sent a message to Yamashita Fumi's ship.

"Quick! Stop lowering the dinghy, and immediately start landing if it has been lowered. The rest of the landing ships immediately moved to the predetermined area. Immediately after arriving, the boat below will start a landing operation! Yamashita Fengwen choked and pulled out his command knife and roared loudly: "Gentlemen! The fate of the empire is here! Kill the enemy with me!! ”

Why doesn't Yamashita want to complete the landing as soon as possible?! But firstly, the landing ships did not reach their intended positions, and secondly, due to the bombing of the Wehrmacht, a large number of small boats were knocked over by the shock wave or knocked out of direction.

It takes time to adjust these things, and what the Japanese army lacks most now is time. They must complete the landing operation as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the army forces are lost here, then the navy will not be able to fight again.

The high-intensity air fighting in the Annam area has consumed a lot of ammunition, fuel and energy of the Japanese army, and if the time here drags on, then the Japanese navy can only choose to withdraw to Thailand as soon as possible to preserve its strength.

No way, they no longer have the fuel and ammunition to support them in a pursuit. Unless they can take the Philippines, or withdraw to Thailand. Otherwise, a ship without fuel will be no different from a steel coffin at sea.

"Let them start! Show the Japanese some fireworks......" And on the positions behind the tidal flats, it had been discovered that the Japanese landing ships and boats were beginning to enter the firing range, Jensen sneered and ordered.

"Yes!!"

"Ready...... Put!! Zeng Le, commander of the First Artillery Division of the Nanyang Army Division, personally went into battle, and his face was flushed with excitement and he roared loudly.

With his roar. A "whooshing ......" scream sounded from the position. But I saw countless flowing fires dragging the tail flames towards the Japanese landing ships on the sea.

"Boom, boom, boom......" After a while, a crazy explosion suddenly rang out. The surface of the sea was suddenly stained red with blood, and the broken corpses, mutilated hands and feet, and parts of the ships surged high into the air with the blasted waves, and then sank to the bottom of the sea......

In the past. So much blood is bound to attract bloodthirsty animals like sharks. Today, however, there is not even a single shark in sight.

The mutilated corpses and shattered entrails just floated on the surface of the sea......

The explosion continued, and the Japanese boats were constantly blown up and continued to advance towards the tidal flats. The Japanese landing ships in the rear were not much better, and they were also hit by a lot of rockets within range.

The rockets that exploded on the deck not only destroyed a large number of Japanese ships. A large number of Japanese soldiers who were about to board the boat were also blown up and scattered.

Several landing ships were blown up, and shattered internal organs and corpses floated on the landing ships with blood and broken fragments of the ships.

"Go ahead and land! Don't stop! They are already at the end of their crossbows. As long as we climb the tidal flats, they will lose!! Go ahead and land!! Yamashita jumped to his feet on his bridge and shouted, and the retreating Japanese soldiers were forced to start boarding the dinghy again to prepare for the landing.

The Japanese Navy also discovered the Wehrmacht's shelling, and they adjusted their naval guns to prepare for a bombardment of the Wehrmacht artillery positions they had calculated.

"Transfer now! Fast!! At this time, Zeng Le had already commanded the soldiers to quickly dismantle the tiger roar and move towards the second artillery position predetermined.

These had been planned for a long time, and Jensen and others had long expected that once the Nanyang Army Division launched an artillery bombardment, the Japanese would definitely use naval guns to return fire.

Therefore, Tiger Roar can only use his excellent mobility and rate of fire to compete with the Japanese army for time.

"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ...... "Sure enough, as soon as they withdrew from the artillery positions, the retaliatory shelling of the Japanese army came. The large-caliber naval guns bombarded the Wehrmacht artillery positions that had just been shattered.

Zeng Le couldn't help but be afraid for a while, if he was so late, maybe now he and his soldiers would be left without bones under these large-caliber naval guns......

"Buzzing ......" At this time, the second group of Wehrmacht fighters had already arrived over Manila Bay. Although the Japanese fighters were not filled with fuel, they were forced to take off and prepare for the battle.

"Quick!! Drop the dinghy and land! Landing!! Yamashita couldn't care about anything else, and he rushed down the bridge and roared madly at the Japanese soldiers......
