The 813th longest three days of the seventh

At this moment, the 10 Japanese Soryu-class aircraft carriers on the sea are galloping in the wind, and rows of Type 96 carrier-based fighters begin to turn their engines.

Nishizawa sat in the cockpit of a Type 96 warship with rough workmanship like a Russian cargo, and gave a thumbs up to Iwamoto on a plane next to him, the two of them were classmates from the flight school, and they had just graduated at the end of last year, and because their flying skills were not bad, they were assigned to fly the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft on the Flying Dragon aircraft carrier.

"Iwamoto-kun, martial arts have been lucky for a long time!"

Nishizawa sat in the cockpit and shouted loudly, now that the Yasukuni Shrine is gone, no one has said the parting words of "Kudansakami" as if it were a curse. However, Iwamoto, who was born in Osaka Prefecture, still prefers to talk about "Oshiki Okiri", so he beckoned: "Nishizawa-kun, you should be careful." ”

Towed by a 1,000-horsepower engine, the Type 96 fighter plane, which was just over 2,000 kilograms, quickly broke away from the flight deck, and when Nishizawa and Iwamoto began to climb the plane, the rumbling sound of cannon was already heard from the Japanese cruisers and destroyers on the periphery on guard.

"Baga, there are so many violent planes......

On the light cruiser Naka, Onoda Sejiro, who was in charge of commanding a patrol group to guard the outermost part of the First Air Fleet formation, held a telescope and opened his mouth wide. Because from the eyepiece of his telescope, the sky was already covered with black spots, like a demon descending from the sky, making a piercing whistling sound. Hung with a damn reactionary bomb, suddenly flashing from the blue sky and white clouds.

Before he could give the order, all the anti-aircraft fire on the light cruiser Nako opened fire in full force. Immediately after that, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the five Japanese destroyers around the Nako also quickly spewed out tongues of fire.

These Japanese light cruisers and destroyers have been modified in different ways between operations, and the anti-aircraft firepower has been greatly strengthened, taking the Kawauchi-class Naka light cruiser as an example, it has 2 76.2mm anti-aircraft guns, 44 25mm twin anti-aircraft guns, and 6 13mm twin anti-aircraft guns! When the six Japanese light warships opened fire with all their might, a net of fire was immediately raised between the Japanese aircraft carriers and the Chinese military aircraft group.

Facing the rain of bullets that came like a torrential rain. The Chinese fighters did not choose to break through, but divided into three teams in the air, and one team made a detour to the left. One group made a detour to the right, while the other team pulled up sharply, temporarily avoiding the anti-aircraft fire fired by the Japanese ships. The J-4E Dragon Eagle is a fighter cameo dive bomber, although the fuselage is relatively solid. But in order to reduce weight to improve aerial combat performance and range. There is only the thinnest armor on the key parts of the fuselage, which is indeed not suitable for breaking through the enemy's bullet rain.

"Brothers, be patient, the enemy's anti-aircraft fire will not last, wait until their firepower is weakened before we rush!"

Liu Tianyun's voice sounded again in the cabin of every J-4E Dragon Eagle. What every Chinese pilot had heard of was information obtained from an American ally -- the Yankees discovered in a contest with the Japanese navy that there was a very strange phenomenon in the use of anti-aircraft fire by Japanese ships, that is, the firepower at the beginning was particularly strong. It can shoot a rain of bullets that cover the sky, but this kind of firepower can't last long. At most, a little more than a minute passed. Then, for some reason, the anti-aircraft fire will be weakened by more than half, and it will be difficult to pose much of a threat to the enemy forces that penetrate the defense.

Sure enough, after a while, the rain of bullets in the sky became sparse, Liu Tianyun laughed, and ordered loudly: "The little Japanese anti-aircraft artillery is really impotent, now let's rush over!" ”

"Let little Japan often bomb the taste...... The 401st Brigade and the 402nd Brigade will take out the Japanese light cruisers and destroyers on the periphery! ”

"The 501st Group, go and take out the three heavy cruisers of the Japanese."

"The rest follow me to bomb the Japanese aircraft carrier!"

"Rush!"

More than 400 J-4E Dragon Eagle engines of the three large groups in the air began to roar violently at the same time, and large puffs of green smoke suddenly rose from the exhaust pipes on both sides of the nose, and the Dragon Eagles, which were hanging 500 kilograms of armor-piercing bombs, rushed to the fire net composed of the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower that had been thinned out at a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour.

"Quick, change magazines, move fast......"

The anti-aircraft gun positions of the Japanese light cruisers and destroyers on the water were already in chaos at this time, and everyone was eager to tear themselves in half to use them, and every gun commander was urging his subordinates to change the magazines at the top of their voices...... It turned out that the reason why the anti-aircraft fire of Japanese ships was difficult to sustain was that the speed of replacing the magazine was too slow! The most important anti-aircraft guns used by the Japanese Navy today are the Type 94 25mm anti-aircraft guns, and most of them are twin or triple. However, this anti-aircraft machine gun has a big disadvantage, that is, the magazine capacity is small, the reloading speed is slow, and the firing speed in real combat is not high. Therefore, a large number of Japanese ships equipped with such anti-aircraft guns only had a large firepower density in the first salvo, and due to the need to change magazines frequently during continuous firing, the firepower density was only one-third or one-half (the remaining one-third of the triple-mounted and one-half of the double-mounted anti-aircraft guns, which was basically about the same as the firepower density of the single-mounted Type 94 25mm anti-aircraft guns).

"Captain, they're rushing in, they're coming at us!"

Of course, Onoda Shejiro did not encounter the matter of the anti-aircraft fire network being easily broken by enemy aircraft, but in the past, the Yankees generally did not waste limited bombs on targets with little attack value such as light cruisers -- the Americans' attack aircraft groups are usually composed of fighters, dive bombers, and torpedo bombers, unlike the Chinese, who are all fighters with heavy bombs, and there is no case of throwing more than 500 aircraft at one time, so the number of bombs that can be dropped is limited. There is no room for waste.

"Bombs dropped, three planes dropped bombs at the same time!"

Screams of horror rang out in the bridge of the Nako light cruiser, and everyone saw three J-4E Dragon Eagles diving from three directions at the same time, and three black bombs whizzing out from under the belly. Slammed down on the deck of the light patrol!

"I can't hide from it!"

Three bombs fell on the bow, stern, and amidships at the same time, and they were not in a straight line, two of them were to the left. There is a right-sided ......

That's a 500-kilogram armor-piercing projectile! Onoda Shejiro, who personally operated the ship, slapped the steering wheel hard, came to a left full rudder, and then closed his eyes, because he knew that he couldn't dodge three bombs at the same time, and even if he was lucky enough to dodge, there were still so many planes in the sky, and this time it was really over!

Two violent crashes rang out. Two 500-kilogram armor-piercing bombs pierced the Nako's thin horizontal armor, one of which penetrated through the deck behind the aft turret No. 5, and the other between chimneys No. 3 and No. 4. Then two loud bangs rang out almost simultaneously, and blinding flames swept over the deck of the Nako light cruiser like waves. With a full load displacement of 7,100 tons, this warship, which is considered a large light cruiser of the Japanese Navy, exploded like a balloon that had been blown up, and was torn apart in the explosion.

It's too late. That's fast.

From the Chinese military aircraft group appeared. From the time the patrol formation opened fire, and then to the penetration and attack of the Chinese army's aircraft group, in a total of a few minutes, a light cruiser with strong anti-aircraft fire completely turned into fragments and disappeared on the sea. Nishizawa and Iwamoto, who had just taken off from the aircraft carrier, witnessed this scene at the same time, and even their eyes were dumbfounded, they never thought that a big fighter with a 500-kilogram bombshell could fly so flexibly and quickly, knowing that the Type 96 fighter piloted by the two of them could fly at a speed of less than 500 kilometers per hour even if it did not carry any bombs. And the speed of the Chinese J-4E is close to 600 kilometers per hour......

So what is their top speed after dropping the bomb? 700 km? 750 km?

Before they could figure it out, two J-4E planes painted blue had already swooped down on them at high speed from not far away.

"Baga. Fire! ”

Nishizawa immediately pulled up the nose of the machine and opened fire against the opponent, and although the two 7.7mm machine guns quickly erupted tongues of fire, the opponent's speed was too fast, and all the bullets were empty. However, the Chinese J-4E did not fight with Nishizawa, who almost passed by, but rushed straight towards the Flying Dragon aircraft carrier behind Nishizawa.

"Leave the Japanese fighters alone, speed up and rush over, fly over the Japanese aircraft carriers, and pay attention to keeping the altitude above 5000 meters."

Liu Tianyun carefully controlled the plane while directing the operation through the airborne radio.

"The 102nd Brigade is going to attack the Canglong-class ship in the direction of 10 bells."

"The 502nd Brigade is going to get rid of the aircraft carrier at 12 o'clock."

"Brigade 601 went to attack the ...... at 1 o'clock"

……

"Boom ......"

"Comrade Commander, be careful......"

A bombshell fell into the sea almost close to the starboard side of the Wyvern, and the column of water that exploded even hit the fleet command center on the Wyvern's island. If this bomb had been dropped on the right track, the Wyvern's ship island would have suffered!

"Commander, there are too many violent planes, and I can't resist it at all!"

Takijiro Onishi, who escaped death, looked up into the air, and one after another J-4E Dragon Eagles discharged a dive bombing formation at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, and the three began to dive and drop bombs in waves! The planes that had dropped the bombs quickly pulled up and engaged the Japanese carrier-based planes.

"you grandma!"

Captain Chen Ruitian, the ace pilot of the Chinese army, who had just dropped the bomb, pulled the control stick fiercely, and the J-4E Dragon Eagle, whose fuselage was huge among single-engine fighters, quickly climbed into the air to find the bad luck of the Japanese fighters. After dropping 500 kg of bombshells, the aircraft could reach a top speed of 680 km / h. Almost 200 km / h faster than the Japanese Type 96!

Facing this roaring dragon eagle, Nishizawa knew that he was about to be in trouble, and immediately deflected the fuselage to circle with the other party. However, high speed and large size do not mean poor flexibility! In fact, the J-4E Dragon Eagle is a very agile fighter that can perform extreme horizontal maneuvers in dogfight, and the Chinese pilots flying these Dragon Eagles are more skilled than their Japanese counterparts.

"Click......

Before he had made a few turns, Nishizawa found himself already wound in, and the Chinese plane had bitten its own tail. I'm shooting myself with two 20mm cannons and two 12.9mm heavy machine guns!

"I'm really going to die now." Nishizawa knew that he had no chance of surviving, because he did not carry a parachute before he got on the plane - I don't know when it became a symbol of loyalty for the Japanese air force to take to the air without a parachute! Because there is a risk of being captured by parachuting. To be captured is to betray the party and betray the country! Therefore, every Japanese pilot, in their organizational life (Japanese pilots were GCDs), would repeatedly claim that if the plane was damaged in battle, they would fly the plane into an enemy plane or an enemy ship, seeking a common outcome.

However, can a Type 96 fighter that has been beaten and smoked be able to catch up with a plane that is 200 kilometers faster than itself and die together? Just when Nishizawa was desperately thinking about dying with the enemy, he suddenly felt a violent shake of the fuselage, and then lost his balance. Tumbling and falling downward. Before he finally lost consciousness, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of half of his plane's right wing.

……

"Draco! The USS Draco was shot ......"

A terrible cry rang in the ears of Takijiro Onishi. He turned his head to look ahead to the right, and saw a huge and dazzling fire rising from the aircraft carrier Tianlong not far away.

"Look, look. The Red Dragon is also ......"

In the trembling voice of the Black Island Turtle Man. In the distance, two large flames rose on the deck of the Red Dragon aircraft carrier, which had just been in service for less than a year, almost at the same time, and everyone swirled around the entire warship, this aircraft carrier was finished!

"Oh my God, they're too strong, they're so strong! Japan is over, it's over, woo woo ......"

I don't know who actually cried loudly in the command center of the aircraft carrier Wyvern, and in just a few minutes, a light patrol was blown up and sunk. The two aircraft carriers turned into "fireships", letting everyone know that their Z operation turned out to be a complete joke. Because the enemy, with such a powerful air power, is in any case invincible to the current Japanese Red Army!

However, the officers and men on the aircraft carrier Feilong still seem to be unwilling to accept their inevitable fate, or try their best to struggle, the captain of the ship Ryuzo Takenaka is also worthy of being a meritorious captain who has won three "Golden Sun" medals, and the ship's handling skills have reached the point of being as pure as fire, and the 19,800-ton giant ship is as flexible as a torpedo boat in his hands, avoiding five waves of bombing in a row, and letting 15 500-kilogram bombshells miss. Liu Tianyun, who was commanding the battle in the air, scolded.

"Stupid, all stupid, all go and give me a Japanese plane...... This aircraft carrier is Lao Tzu! In Liu Tianyun's roar, the two wingmen quickly approached and formed a three-plane formation with him.

At this moment, all the Chinese pilots in the air knew that Boss Liu was going to take action in person!

Liu Tianyun's military rank is that of a naval colonel, but he is a double ace pilot from the Air Force -- not only an ace in air combat, but also an ace in ground attack! Before turning from the Air Force, he was the commander of the aviation regiment, and if it weren't for the fact that he didn't study the Navy, I'm afraid he would be an aircraft carrier captain now! However, although he did not become a captain, his ability to fly an aircraft is recognized as the first in the navy and the trump card among aces!

So this Japanese aircraft carrier is dead......

"Three machines cross, follow me, kill ......!"

Three-plane crossing is the most standard tactic of dive bombing in this era, that is, from three different angles, the dive is carried out at the same time, the purpose is to disperse the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower, as well as increase the probability of hitting. All Chinese fighter pilots can play, but there are very few who can play well. In particular, it is more difficult to fly this J-4E Dragon Eagle fighter to play the crossover of three planes, because there is no bombardier on the Dragon Eagle, and the pilot has to be responsible for driving the plane and throwing bombs, which is inevitably a little scrambling, and it is good to be able to take into account the accuracy of bomb dropping, and then require the three planes to drop bombs at the same time at a similar altitude, and it is too difficult to attack different parts of the enemy ship. Although there were no times when Chinese fighters dive-attacked, they were always three planes in a wave, but the timing and altitude of the bombs were often not well grasped, and the time when the three bombs fell was different, and the accuracy was slightly lower, which also gave the Japanese ships more room to evade.

However, Liu Yuntian and the pilots of his two wingmen were able to cooperate perfectly and drop bombs perfectly! Three planes rushed down from an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, and the indescribable death howl broke through the air, instantly filling the entire heaven and earth.

Three dragon eagles, from the east, west and north, swooped down at an angle of more than 60 degrees along three tracks that almost intersected each other. In the blink of an eye, the three 500-kilogram bombs, with a piercing scream, slammed towards the starboard side of the bow of the Wyvern, the port side of the stern, and the island of the ship's amidships.

Looking at the three bombs that were falling rapidly, leaving him with nowhere to hide, Ryuzo Takenaka's hands holding the steering wheel trembled, and he didn't know where to turn the rudder, because there was no way to avoid it......

Boom Boom!

Three bombs hit almost simultaneously and exploded at the same time! Liu Tianyun and his two wingmen also almost brushed the sea, staggered at a very low altitude, and then slammed into the sky.

"Hooray! Hit! ”

The cheers reached Liu Tianyun's ears through the on-board radio, and he turned his head to look at it, only to see that there was already thick smoke billowing on the sea, and the three huge Japanese aircraft carriers were floating on the surface of the sea like three burning fireships. (To be continued......)
