God, it's a mess here!

Forty-year-old Captain Chennault's first feeling after flying into the sky was chaos! It's a mess! Hundreds of planes on both sides have been mixed together, and the sky is full of black fireworks, which are M1918 76.2mm anti-aircraft guns firing, the artillery fire is very dense, but the organization is very poor, the fixed height fuse does not seem to be set, and the shells are exploded under the black pressure of the two sides' fleets, which is a complete waste of ammunition...... Fortunately, there is no accuracy, otherwise who knows if it was an American plane or a Japanese plane that was shot down? At this time, more than a dozen white I-18 fighters seemed to have spotted Chennault and his comrades, and roared like lightning towards them from high altitude.

"Hell, it's a dive attack!" Chennault cursed, leaned up and fired at a rapidly passing Il-1, two 7.62mm aviation machine guns sprayed a series of tongues of fire, but unfortunately he didn't have time to aim accurately in a hurry, and all the bullets were missed.

"Baga!"

Piloting this Il-1 was the squadron leader of the second squadron of the fighter group of the Shenlong Flying Regiment, Isamu Yamada, who joined the Japanese GCD in 1923, was originally an army sergeant, and after the victory of the revolution, he was the squadron leader of the infantry squadron, and later transferred to the naval aviation, studied in the Soviet Union, and his piloting skills were very good. Seeing that the opponent actually dared to fire first, this Japanese GCD was so angry that he shouted and also pulled the firing button of the machine gun and machine gun. Four strings of flames of varying thicknesses flew towards Chennault's landline

20mm cannon!?

Seeing two obviously thick tongues of fire passing over his head, Chennault immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The firepower of this Russian fighter is too perverted, right? There are actually 2 20mm cannons. If your plane hits a few shots, it won't be blown to pieces? Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled the joystick, and the 7,000-pound P35 made a deft sideways flip, dodging the four tongues of fire that his opponent hit.

It's actually empty! Flexibility in the face of adversary aircraft. Yamada couldn't help but scolded again: "Baga, what kind of plane is this!" From the appearance of the plane, he could already tell that it was not an F2A and a P26, and the performance of this aircraft seemed to be significantly higher than that of the "most advanced" Yi 18 he was flying. Knowing that his flexibility was not as good as that of the other party, Yamada immediately pulled up the nose of the plane and rushed high into the air, trying to launch another dive. And at this moment, the American plane did not know when it flew behind him. The two 7.62mm machine guns roared at the same time, and Yamada only felt that his I-18 plane was in a raging storm of bullets, and there was no way to dodge. The fuselage trembled violently for a while, and I don't know how many bullet holes have appeared on the wooden wings and fuselage, but the motor of the plane is still roaring, and there is no intention of crashing at all.

"This guy is so fucking sturdy!"

See this scene. Chennault's eyes were red. He didn't expect the firepower of the two machine guns to be so useless, and in a fit of rage, he chased after his opponent's ass and fired, and the bullets poured out like rain.

"Baga, why can't you get rid of it!"

The situation of Japanese GCD man Isamu Yamada is obviously worse than Chennault, he is about to cry, the climb performance of the opponent's plane is obviously better than that of the Yi 18, and it seems that there is no hope for him to play a pull up dive. It's not an opponent to play in circles than flexibility, is it really going to be sacrificed here? Fortunately, I threw away the parachute when I got on the plane. Isamu Yamada, who knew that he was dead, actually thought like this: "There is no parachute...... As long as he didn't go back, he could be sure of the sacrifice, not an unknown 'missing' person. And your own family can enjoy the treatment of the families of martyrs! ”

With a loud bang, a large amount of black smoke suddenly rose from the nose of Yamada's Yi 18, and the propeller, which was originally spinning rapidly, also rotated slower and slower, and finally stopped completely. "It's over! It's the engine that has failed! Yamada smiled bitterly, even if he was in despair, he didn't control the plane to make a forced landing, but closed his eyes and waited for death. In other words, the quality of the M35 engine of the Yi 18 is really terrible, the maximum output of 1000 hp sounds not small, but the time it can last is very uncertain, uh, not short, but uncertain! No one knows when this engine will suddenly strike when it is running at a rapid pace!

"That's ...... Fell? Chennault, who chased after Yamada's ass and beat him for a long time, was also a little speechless in the face of such a result. As a veteran who has been dealing with airplanes for more than ten years, of course he can see that the other party fell headlong because the engine overheated and caught fire and shut down, can this be regarded as his own down? Forget it, just put this credit in your own pocket! Happily deciding to take credit for the Soviet aircraft engine manufacturing plant, Captain Chennault increased the throttle, quickly pulled the plane to an altitude of 6,000 meters, and then began to look for the next opponent.

But the sight that appeared in front of his eyes made him gasp! Pearl Harbor was filled with fires and plumes of smoke, and at least a dozen warships of various sizes were burning on the water! The oil depot on the shore seemed to have been blown up by something, and it was exploding one after another, and the flames were at least a few hundred meters high, and it seemed that the millions of tons of fuel there were all gone. The situation in the air is not much better, most of the fighters on Oahu are P26 and F2A, the performance of the latter is a little better, but under normal circumstances, it is not the opponent of the I-18, as for the former, it is even worse, whether it is fighting or diving, it is not the opponent of the I-18, and the black smoke is falling down one by one!

At this time, another Yi 18 appeared in his sight, and Chennault swore and scolded, and as soon as he pressed the nose of the plane, the 7,000-pound plane swooped over, and then there was a rain of bullets......

……

A modified Ford Model T sped along the roads at the Pearl Harbor base, driven by the beautiful spy Natalie. Lesinskaya, this chick is so good at driving that she almost made this open-top Ford fly. Bai Siwen stood in the carriage, holding the handrail in one hand and holding a camera in the other to shoot scenes in the air and in the port. Behind them is the headquarters building of the US Pacific Fleet, which is on fire!

An Il-1 dive bomber that was about to crash after being hit in an air battle actually rammed the building with a bomb! If it weren't for the fact that American houses are built more sturdily. Bosven and Leshinskaya would have gone to see God long ago.

However, Major General Bai Siwen, who was immortal, was no longer in the mood to thank God and the blessings of the gods and Buddhas, and the battle in the sky and on the sea made his heart almost rise to his throat.

As an admiral of the Chinese Navy, he disliked both the Americans and the Japanese. He wished that both sides would end up together, but this time he was extremely shocked by the power of the air strikes launched by the Japanese carrier-based aircraft.

Although the Americans had long anticipated this day and thought they were fully prepared, they underestimated the changes that the increasingly mature aircraft would bring to naval warfare, and the gap between an army that had been in a state of war for a long time and an army that enjoyed a peaceful life every day.

The battle in the air was generally one-sided, and the American F2A and P26 and the pilots who flew them were clearly inferior to their opponents. Most of the American planes had already been shot down, and only a dozen or so new fighters that Bai Sven had never seen before were desperately resisting.

The new aircraft is still good, although not as good as the BF109. However, it is no worse than China's own J-5 Tiger Hunter (an improved version developed on the basis of the Fokker D.21 to replace the J-3 and J-4, which have not been finalized for a long time). But the number is too small to resist the group fight of Yi 18, but in a 1-1 situation. Yi 18 is clearly no match. It seems that the I-18 of the USSR was not as powerful as they themselves boasted. At best, it is slightly better than the Fokker D.21 series.

The situation on the sea is not ideal, the Il-1 seems to be a good dive bomber, although it is inferior to the German Stuka, but it is still much stronger than the HS123, and I don't know how such a large plane took off from the aviation deck of the Soryu-class aircraft carrier that is only 216.9 meters long? It is estimated that those who can fly this kind of aircraft are elite! Just look at the graceful posture and coordination of these Il-1 dives.

The Il-1 dive bombers were all in three or three formations, launching a surprise attack on a US ** ship from three different directions at the same time, and at the same time, there was also a five-plane formation of Il-1 torpedo bombers penetrating from a low altitude. When these torpedo bombers flew to a distance of less than 1,500 meters from the US ** ship and began to drop torpedoes, the bombs of the dive bombers also happened to drop! The two work together seamlessly. It seems that he has worked hard.

There was another loud boom, this time it was the massive Maine (Nagato) that was shot. Two aerial bombs pierced the top of its No. 2 turret and exploded inside, completely scrapping the turret, and at least four torpedoes crashed into the tall and mighty hull, and the battleship of more than 38,000 tons began to tilt slowly.

"Although it won't sink, it will take at least half a year to repair such damage, right?" Bai Sven muttered in a low voice. In his opinion, the biggest weakness of these steel monsters of giant ships and cannons compared to aircraft carriers is that they are too easy to be injured. Today's planes can only carry more than 400 kg of bombs and torpedoes at most, and it is not easy to sink a well-protected battleship.

However, as long as any battleship is hit by a few torpedoes or a few bombs, it will have to be repaired in a large dry dock for several months and cannot go to the battlefield again, and it is very difficult for a battleship to attack an aircraft carrier, and the aircraft lost by the aircraft carrier in battle can be quickly replenished, which is the biggest weakness of the battleship against the aircraft carrier.

When the car came to a stop, he found himself on an unknown hillside, still overlooking Pearl Harbor, only a little further away. He held up the binoculars he had around his neck and began to observe the results of the Japanese air raids. There were 8 battleships/battlecruisers on fire in the harbor, and although none of them were sunk, all of them were staggering and did not look very good. Several of them have run aground in the shallows, and as for the heavy cruisers, they have already left the port with the other 8 battleships, I wonder if they have escaped this victory? The light cruisers, destroyers, and submarines in the harbor did not seem to have been attacked. However, a large oil depot at the Pearl Harbor base seems to have been blown up, and it is not known how much oil is stored there? Looking at the scale of this explosion and burning, maybe there are millions of tons, right? Moreover, explosions are still occurring, and the fire is also burning more and more. It seems that the damage caused by the explosion of this oil depot to the Pacific Fleet is probably worse than the damage to several battleships, right?

It's just not known what the Americans did with the air strikes on the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet?

……

"Boom ......"

Large masses of water columns. It rose again from near the port side of the USS Tenryu, then slammed into the hull and deck, rinsing a twin 127mm high-level dual-purpose gun inside and out. The four Red Navy gunners were even more soaked in the cold seawater.

"What a fluke......

Nagumo Tadaichi, who witnessed this scene on the island of the ship, had his heart hanging in his throat, and now he no longer cared about commanding his second team, but was personally operating the Tenryu aircraft carrier to dodge left and right to avoid the Yankees' bombs and torpedoes. As the 7th top student in the 36th phase of the Navy, and successively served as the captain of destroyers, gunboats, light cruisers, heavy cruisers and battleships, Nagumo's ship handling level is definitely one of the best in the Japanese Red Navy, and the nearly 20,000-ton aircraft carrier is as flexible as a torpedo boat in his hands.

Of course, the Americans' bomb-dropping skills also seemed to be unusual, and there was no way to compare them with those elite pilots aided by the Soviet Union. However, the difference between the two is not in the level of training. But in terms of actual combat experience, the former was a rookie who went to the battlefield for the first time, and the latter mostly made German pilots abuse into masters for the rest of their lives on the Polish-German battlefield. It is never possible to panic at the sight of the opponent's anti-aircraft fire. can't even play the level of thirty percent of the usual training, this is probably the difference between a veteran and a rookie, right?

In the sky, seeing the scene of a group of rookies under his command dropping bombs and torpedoes around several Japanese aircraft carriers in an orderly manner, Colonel Sampson was so anxious that tears were about to come out. My God. There are 6 Japanese aircraft carriers here! As long as you can blow up and sink one. The rank of brigadier general is in his bag, and perhaps President Roosevelt will be able to promote himself to commander-in-chief of the US Army Air Forces as soon as he is happy! But why didn't these lads dare to rush into the enemy's fire? Could it be that their instructor, the United States, told them that the anti-aircraft fire only looked scary, but in fact the density was not high, and there was no accuracy? At this time, Sampson, who was once an air hero of World War I, couldn't wait to replace his B10 with a BT1 to dive and drop bombs.

"Colonel, we're dying, the Japanese fighters are too powerful!"

"Colonel. There are only 3 Buffaloes left in the 39th Fighter Squadron of the Navy......"

"They're coming up, Colonel. 1 I-18 bit me, I'm done......"

"I was shot, I was shot, I was hit by anti-aircraft fire, God ......"

Hearing the constant bad news on the airborne radio, Colonel Sampson's eyes turned red, and an urge to fly a plane to ram a Japanese aircraft carrier suddenly came to his mind, but before he could put this feat into practice, his B10 bomber was entangled in two I-18s. The agility of the I-18 is not good compared to that of the P35, but it still has an obvious advantage over bombers like the B10, and the two planes did not make much effort to go around behind Colonel Sampson, and four 20mm cannons and four 7.62mm aviation machine guns opened fire almost simultaneously, and the B10 was immediately enveloped in a rain of bullets.

"Boom ......"

With a loud bang, the B10 bomber just shook violently, and then trembled violently.

"The engine of the left wing was shot and caught fire! God, we're done! ”

Hearing the co-pilot's cry, Colonel Sampson glanced at the left wing out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, there was an orange-red fire on the engine, and the propeller had stopped. Losing half of its power, the speed of the aircraft suddenly dropped to less than 200 km/h, which is simply not enough to get rid of the pursuit of two Yi-10s!

"Give up the plane! Parachuting ...... for all crew members Fast! Sampson gritted his teeth and ordered his men to parachute to escape. However, there are all Japanese warships below, and it is easy to parachute, but it is even more difficult to escape, I am afraid it is less than 1%!

So, Colonel Sampson wasn't going to fight for this 1% chance of survival. After seeing that the other crew members had jumped out of the cabin, he turned on the plane's communicator and shouted in a trembling voice:

"I'm Colonel Sampson, the air commander of this air raid. Now my landline has been damaged and will soon fall, so ....... I decided to fly the plane into a Japanese warship! ”

"God bless America!"

After a loud shout, the B10 bomber, which had lost half of its power, suddenly lowered its nose and roared down from an altitude of 5,000 meters, launching a deadly assault on the nearest aircraft carrier of the Fire Dragon!

The officers and men on the Fire Dragon also seemed to sense the approach of death, all the anti-aircraft guns roared angrily, and the huge ship with a full load displacement of nearly 20,000 tons writhed desperately on the sea, trying to avoid this American suicide plane that incarnated as a grim reaper, but it would be in vain.

"God bless the American ......"

Amidst loud reactionary slogans, the B10 bomber, numbered 023, plunged headlong into the center of the flight deck of the USS Fire Dragon. The weight of almost 7 tons combined with the huge impulse of the dive from an altitude of 5000 meters is not something that this poorly armored aircraft carrier can withstand. And when the impact occurred, the fuel stored in the fuel tank of the aircraft detonated on the spot, and the fire instantly spread on the deck and inside of the aircraft carrier at the same time, followed by a series of explosions, and it is not known whether the ammunition depot or the oil depot exploded. The massive steel behemoth was constantly trembling, burning, and exploding, and the huge hull of nearly 20,000 tons had turned into a life-devouring hell.

Everyone on the battlefield knew that the Japanese aircraft carrier Fire Dragon was finished! (To be continued......)
