Chapter 729: The Japanese have also tasted the air raids

At 10 o'clock in the morning of March 10, 1909, 80 Seagull fighters, 80 Seahawk bombers, 16 Sea Eagle dive bombers and 16 Puffin torpedo bombers took off from the four mythical aircraft carriers of the Fourth Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

After the Imperial Chinese Navy added Sea Eagle dive bombers and Puffin torpedo bombers, the number of carrier-based aircraft on the Mythic-class aircraft carriers changed, and the number of 96 carrier-based aircraft equipped with each Mythic-class aircraft carrier remained unchanged, but the type of carrier-based aircraft changed to 40 Seagull fighters, 40 Sea Eagle bombers, 8 Sea Eagle dive bombers and 8 Puffin torpedo bombers.

In order to ensure the continuous effect of the bombing, Xiao Zhengda, commander of the aircraft carrier formation of the Fourth Fleet, divided the 384 carrier-based aircraft on the four aircraft carriers into two waves, with an interval of about 20 minutes, and two carrier-based aircraft groups will be formed to carry out air strikes on the Japanese Navy in the port of Yokohama in turn.

Seeing the Japanese Navy warships gathered together on the sea, the pilots of the first wave of carrier-based aircraft were not afraid and directly launched a dive towards the Japanese Navy warships on the sea.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! Aim at those fighters of the Chinese Empire and fire! Shoot them all down, and don't let them drop bombs on our warships of the Great Japanese Empire! ”

"These fighters of the Chinese Empire, don't want to wreak havoc on the head of our Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy. We are not those soft eggs in Europe, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns hit hard! ”

"Maintain the anti-aircraft fire network around the Dreadnought battleship Hyuga. Even if our fast protection cruiser was blown up and sunk, we must also ensure the safety of the dreadnought battleship Hyuga! ”

A Japanese naval officer on a Japanese Navy warship. Seeing the fighters of the Chinese Empire swooping down from the sky, they shouted loudly, ordering the anti-aircraft fire of their warships to fire fiercely, and from time to time a dazzling fireball appeared in the sky, which was the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, in the process of diving into the warship on the sea, was hit by the anti-aircraft fire above the warship, and exploded in the volley.

Warships of the Japanese Navy, as well as warships of the former Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Navy. All of them have replaced the new anti-aircraft weapons developed by Britain, France, and Germany, so they are not powerless against the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and many carrier-based aircraft were destroyed by the anti-aircraft fire on the warships before they could drop bombs.

However, quite a few carrier-based planes of the Imperial Chinese Navy successfully dropped aerial bombs or aerial torpedoes on the head of the Japanese Navy, and violent explosions soon sounded one after another on the sea outside the port of Yokohama.

"Boom-boom-boom-" A violent explosion sounded above the Japanese Navy's Hanoi-class dreadnought battleship Settsu. One Sea Hawk bomber flew to an altitude of about 2,000 meters above the sea surface and dropped two 800-kilogram aerial bombs on the Dreadnought battleship Settsu, and luckily all of them landed on the Dreadnought battleship Settsu.

This brought great misfortune to the Dreadnought battleship Settsu, as one of the 800-kilogram aerial bombs penetrated the deck armor. It took several layers of steel plates to explode inside the Settsu's hull, instantly blasting a large hole several meters square in the underwater armor on the right side of the Setzu, and seawater almost poured into the inside of the Settsu's hull. And this was not fatal, another 1 800-kilogram aerial bomb that hit the Dreadnought battleship Settsu. For this dreadnought battleship with a full load displacement of 22500 tons, it was the deadliest.

The 800-kilogram aerial bomb also landed on the deck of the Dreadnought battleship Settsu, and immediately pierced the deck armor. After penetrating several layers of steel plates, it landed in a power compartment before exploding, and at once several boilers in the power compartment were detonated, and the power of the explosion of several boilers blew the bottom of the Settsu hull to shreds, and the gap was more than ten times larger than that of another aerial bomb.

With such a serious injury, no remedy could save the fate of the sinking of the Setzu dreadnought, and the Setzu dreadnought battleship then did not last long on the sea, and then completely disappeared without a trace, leaving only more than 200 Japanese naval officers and sailors waiting for rescue on the sea, and nearly 700 Japanese naval officers and sailors entered the icy seabed with the Settsu.

The former U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet's Delaware-class dreadnought battleship Dakota was hit by an 800-kilogram aerial bomb dropped by a Seahawk bomber, and a fire broke out. Directly detonated hundreds of 305 mm main gun shells inside, the Dakota dreadnought battleship with a full load displacement of 22,352 tons, in a violent explosion, was blown in two, quickly sank to the sea, more than 900 Japanese naval officers and sailors on the Dakota, in the end, none of them were spared, all with the Dakota dreadnought battleship, disappeared into the sea.

A large fast armored cruiser of the Pacific Fleet of the former US Navy was directly hit by an aviation torpedo with a caliber of 533 mm, and a huge hole was blown out in the underwater armor on the left side of this large fast armored cruiser.

Soon the first wave of aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes carried by the carrier-based aircraft group of the Imperial Chinese Navy were all thrown, and the whole process took about 13 minutes. The first wave of carrier-based aircraft immediately flew in the direction of the four mythical aircraft carriers, but the first wave was nearly 200 carrier-based aircraft. At this time, there are less than 150 aircraft that can return home. The new anti-aircraft weapons installed on the warships of the Japanese Navy and the warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet were not given in vain; more than 40 carrier-based planes were destroyed by anti-aircraft fire during the first wave of air raids, and many of the nearly 150 carrier-based planes that returned home were wounded and insisted on returning home.

The losses of the first wave of carrier-based aircraft groups of the Imperial Chinese Imperial Navy were not in vain, and the losses inflicted on the Japanese Navy were absolutely staggering. In an underground bunker in the port of Yokohama, just after the first wave of carrier-based aircraft groups of the Imperial Chinese Navy had left, one of the Japanese Navy Osa said to the Japanese Minister of the Navy and Commander of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy, Heihachiro Togo: "Commander, the losses have been roughly calculated!" ”

Togo Heihachiro's face was pale, although the Japanese Navy Osa had not yet said the specific loss data, but Togo Heihachiro saw through the periscope in the underground bunker that after the end of this wave of air raids, many warships of the Japanese Navy were sunk or were about to sink. For the first time, the Japanese Navy saw the air raids of the famous Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and how it was despairing.

Heihachiro Togo finally understood why the second joint expeditionary fleet, which was equipped with new anti-aircraft weapons and was extremely powerful. It will be defeated in the hands of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and under the blow of such indiscriminate bombardment, those new air defense weapons will only play to the point where they are not powerless to fight back. Don't want to rely on these anti-aircraft weapons on the warship to completely block the Chinese Imperial fighters in the sky.

The taste of air raids by the carrier-based aircraft group of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire. The Japanese finally tasted it, but Japan was the same as the Entente, the Allies, and the United States. The taste is definitely bitter.

Heihachiro Togo said in a deep voice: "How about the loss? ”

The Japanese Navy Osa continued to say in a sad voice: "Our combined fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy was blown up and sank 1 Hanoi-class dreadnought battleship, 1 Fuji-class all-steel battleship, 1 large fast armored cruiser, 2 fast protection cruisers, 2 destroyers and 1 torpedo boat. The warships of the Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Navy that we captured were sunk 1 Delaware-class dreadnought, 1 Florida-class dreadnought, 1 Chishach-class all-steel battleship, 1 Illinois-class all-steel battleship, 1 ironclad battleship, 1 large fast armored cruiser, 3 fast protection cruisers, 2 destroyers, and 2 torpedo boats. ”

Heihachiro Togo sighed secretly in his heart, all of them have added up to 3 dreadnought battleships and 3 all-steel battleships that have been blown up and sunk, and 6 capital battleships have been lost at once, if the Japanese Navy has not captured the warships of the entire US Navy's Pacific Fleet, Heihachiro Togo can die in distress, but now Heihachiro Togo's heart is also distressed.

Now Togo Heihachiro can already be sure that the number of aircraft carriers owned by the Imperial Chinese Navy must have exceeded the expectations of many people, and according to the calculation of time, the aircraft carriers of the Imperial Chinese Navy participating in the Battle of the Arabian Sea will definitely not be able to reach Japanese waters at this time, and the aircraft carriers of the Chinese Imperial Navy that appear at this time must have been hidden near Japanese waters for a long time.

Do you say Japan is easy? Don't be ashamed to directly attack your allies and take possession of the warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, which has more than doubled the strength of the Japanese Navy in an instant, but these warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet have not yet been warmed up in the hands of the Japanese Navy, and your Chinese Imperial warplanes have flown over and bombed indiscriminately.

Although the Chinese Empire and Japan have a deep blood feud, you must know that the Chinese Empire owes Japan, and as a result, the Chinese Empire has intensified this time, and it seems that the blood debt between the Chinese Empire and Japan will be added again.

Togo Heihachiro doesn't have time to think about any blood debt now, he knows very well that the air raid of the Chinese Imperial Navy will definitely not be on this wave, the danger faced by the Japanese Navy is not over, and the Japanese Navy in Yokosuka Port has sent a telegram, Yokosuka has found another group of Chinese Imperial fighters, flying in the direction of Yokohama Port, Togo Heihachiro said to the Japanese Navy Daisa: "Order all warships to continue to maintain speed, ready to meet the next wave of air raids by Chinese Imperial fighters, Order those other types of warships around the sunken main battleship to immediately strengthen the fire and air defense network of the nearby main battleship, the danger is not over! ”

As soon as Togo Heihachiro's words fell, one of the Japanese Navy lieutenants in the underground bunker fortifications ran to Togo Heihachiro's side with a telegram in his hand, and said hurriedly: "Commander, Yokosuka Port reports that an unusually large Chinese Imperial Navy fleet has appeared outside Tokyo Bay, and it is currently heading straight for Tokyo Bay, and Yokosuka Port is ready to resist the attack of the Chinese Imperial Navy fleet." ”

Heihachiro's face changed drastically, and he asked urgently, "Has the port of Yokosuka reported back on the size of this Imperial Chinese Navy fleet?" How many super dreadnoughts are there? How many dreadnought battleships were there? How many aircraft carriers are there? ”

The Japanese Navy Lieutenant shook his head and said, "Commander, the specific data of the Imperial Chinese Navy fleet has not been transmitted from the port of Yokosuka. ”

Heihachiro Togo immediately said: "Immediately order the Yokosuka side to find out the specific situation of this Imperial Chinese Navy fleet, especially the number of capital battleships and aircraft carriers." ”

Nakasa of the Japanese Navy nodded and said, "Hi! Then he turned and ran to the radio station inside the underground bunker.

Togo Heihachiro's heart was even more nervous at this time than when he was attacked by the air raid, he knew that the sudden appearance of the Imperial Chinese Navy fleet was definitely coming towards the port of Yokohama, and now the Japanese Navy not only had to endure the indiscriminate bombardment of the Imperial Chinese fighters, but also faced a head-to-head duel at sea.

Soon, the Japanese Navy Nakasa returned to Togo Heihachiro and said: "Commander, there is another telegram from the port of Yokosuka, this fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy that suddenly appeared has about 4 super dreadnought battleships, about 15 to 17 dreadnought battleships, about 22 to 26 all-steel battleships, and 2 or 3 hundred warships of other types.
