Chapter 251: The Bombing of Kure Harbor

The huge bombing formation killed the Yellow Sea violently, and when it flew over the Korean Peninsula, it had been discovered by the Japanese army below, and now the whole of Japan was nervous and waiting for Yang Feng's bombers, since Ryokari had to come up with hostage tactics in the northeast, the Japanese have already understood that Yang Feng must bomb their homeland next, and these guys also want to take this opportunity to take a good breath of resentment, and the hundreds of bombers in Beiping have been pressing on their heads like a heavy mountain over the years. The ghosts of the hundreds of thousands of victims in Sendai are roaming the skies of Japan day and night, and even middle school students are doing military training and pasting pictures of Yang Feng on targets.

Of course, what they don't know is that there will be more unjust souls wandering in the future.

Before the bomber formation approached the coast of Honshu, it had already been discovered by the Japanese land-based radar, although their radar skills were very rubbish, but they were not garbage to the point where two hundred planes flew over and did not know the road, of course, if they wanted to distinguish what kind of plane, don't count on this, as long as their radar did not look at a flock of birds, it was already good, how could they distinguish between bombers and fighters.

As the air defense siren sounded, all the airports in Shimonoseki, Hiroshima, Kyushu and other places were all in chaos, and one after another double-engine moonlight fighters flew into the sky in the bright lights, and their airborne radar could be found at about ten kilometers for such a behemoth as the Liberator, of course, it could not be used to guide the attack, and the distance must be shortened to about one kilometer, and then the target was locked on after the searchlight was irradiated, and the firepower of this aircraft was powerful, with a total of three aerial guns mounted on the nose of the aircraft, To be honest, it is not easy for the Japanese to make this thing in four or one years, and even Yang Feng himself can't help but admire them a little.

Unfortunately, the premature night fighter itself was a little worse and did not have the iconic oblique gun.

Because there is radar guidance. A total of more than 80 moonlight planes climbed to an altitude of 9,000 meters with great ambition as the Chinese bullied them in the past, ready to wait for the arrival of Chinese bombers, and then dive down to attack, but their whereabouts lost any meaning in front of the two AWACS planes in the bombing formation.

After getting the position of the Japanese plane, the night combat twin demon who was escorting the escort threw off the auxiliary fuel tank and accelerated to climb to 15,000 meters, such a height is simply unbelievable for Moonlight who uses a piston engine. And because the radar performance is not an era at all, it was not until the hundred escort twin demons began to dive that the Japanese suddenly discovered that there were still enemies overhead.

"Enemy planes!" With a series of exclamations on the radio, the prelude to the first large-scale night air battle in the history of war was opened, and the huge moonlight was in the eyes of the twin demons equipped with night vision devices and radar sights, it was simply a group of well-placed targets, and before the Japanese searchlights were turned on, the artillery on this side had already fired, and countless fire whips were pulled out in the night sky in an instant. In the first round of attacks alone, more than 20 moonlight planes were blown up in the air, looking like blooming flowers.

The Japanese army was directly stunned by this ferocious attack, and the remnants of the moonlight desperately held their heads high one by one in the hope of being able to illuminate the enemy with searchlights, but unfortunately they were at their own limit altitude, if they could maintain altitude in level flight, they would immediately start to fall down after a little maneuver, and at this time the Japanese pilots also understood that the best way now was to accelerate and dive to a low altitude. Maybe he can still have the qualifications to fight, and the moonlight is desperately diving towards the low altitude. The fragile mechs were even a little overwhelmed, and one of them actually flew off one of its wings along with the engine.

But even so, they still couldn't get rid of the enemy above their heads, the turboprop version of the twin demon had a maximum speed of more than eight hundred, and it was impossible for these little moonlights to get rid of them at the fastest speed of more than five hundred, and these black ghosts in the night sky roared and pounced. With the flames of the machine guns, a series of red long whips were whipped on the Japanese planes below, and one blow passed through the air and then circled and fell again, and in just a few minutes, the Japanese army's moonlight had lost more than half.

And until now, the Japanese have not even been able to fire a single shot.

The battle left a jaw-dropping command in the Japanese command. They couldn't figure out why they had worked hard for so many years, and in the end it was still like this? Is that demonic opponent really too invincible to defeat?

Of course, now is not the time to study this problem, such an air battle has no meaning, although after entering the low altitude, the moonlight has been able to carry out a certain resistance, but the problem is that the opponent's speed is too fast, the searchlight just hit the target, and before aiming, the other party disappeared into the night, and then you can see it hovering at a very fast speed from the radar, and then it will be overhead, in the face of such an opponent, the pilots of those moonlight fighters feel like they used the ninety-seven style to face the old twin demons, This three-headed monster is simply a nightmare that they can never get rid of.

The order to retreat finally came from the radio, and the remaining less than thirty moonlight returned with tears of humiliation, but fortunately the opponent did not pursue, which is understandable, it takes more than 1,000 kilometers from Yantai to here, which is almost close to the limit of their combat radius, naturally they cannot continue to waste fuel, after such an air battle, maybe they will have to return directly.

As soon as they thought of this, the Japanese couldn't help but rejoice in their hearts, although they suffered heavy losses, they were able to force the escort fighters away, so the remnants of the moonlight still had a chance.

However, this time they were wrong again, and not only did the twin demons not go, but they continued to fly back and follow the bomber group to continue to pounce on Kure Harbor.

"Bastard, how much fuel do these planes really carry?" In the angry roar of the Japanese commander, the bombardment of Kure Harbor began, but the first to attack was not the bombers, but the twin demons who escorted the escort, these lightning-fast black ghosts appeared and disappeared between the light pillars of the searchlights, with advanced night vision devices with advanced performance, from thousands of meters in the air, with aircraft guns specifically attacking the searchlights on the ground, because the speed was too fast, the anti-aircraft fire on the ground could not lock on to them.

Just when the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery was exhausted under the attack of the twin demons, the liberators in the sky began to drop bombs, and the bombing radar screen was based on the different echoes, even at high altitudes outside the range of night vision devices, everything below was vividly visible, factories, docks, docks, and even battleships under construction, especially those large aircraft carriers, which were very eye-catching on the radar display, and with the order of the formation commander, the bomb bay in the belly of the aircraft opened, The bomber handed over the Norton sight to autopilot and dropped the bomb in the most suitable position.

The whistling sound of the 500-kilogram bomb resounded in the night sky, and it was particularly piercing in the dense explosion of anti-aircraft artillery shells, and soon a dazzling fire exploded on the pitch-black earth, and then a large number of fireballs tore apart the night, the earth, and the life.

The Japanese army shot into the sky like crazy, the importance of this port, no matter how to describe it for them, since the Meiji era this is the base camp of the United Fleet, Japan's largest warship manufacturing base, more than half a century of accumulation has become a strong backing for them to dominate the world, if this place is destroyed it will be the heaviest blow to Japan.

It is a pity that the bombs of those bombers are all dropped at an altitude of 8,000 meters, and there is nothing else that can be done except for those large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and as for those large-caliber anti-aircraft guns that want to lock on to the target with searchlights in the night sky, it is also more difficult, not to mention that the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery uses time fuses and the effect of radio proximity cannot be compared.

They are also helpless at this point, the Sino-Japanese friendly people in Nanjing have tried many times but have not been able to get this thing, Nanjing's anti-aircraft artillery units are all directly sent from Beiping, except for the bald guys and the direct orders of Beiping, they will not care about anyone at all, even He Yingqin can't touch those mysterious shells when he goes, and Yang Feng controls this thing more strictly than anything.

Just when the bombing of Kure Harbor began, thirty bombers flew directly over the city, their target was Etajima, the Japanese Naval Academy, anyway, Yang Feng's goal was to fight for more than three years, and it wouldn't have much impact if he wanted to blow up these students, so the order given to the bombers was that Kure Harbor could be bombed casually, but Etadao Island must be razed.

Thirty Liberator bombers, in a desperate gaze, dropped a full 150 tons of napalm on this small island, which was less than 100 square kilometers, and looking at the sky-high fire in the direction of the Naval Academy, the commander of the Wu Zhen Guard, Vice Admiral Toyoda, burst into tears.

A hundred Liberator bombers quickly dropped all the bombs, and in the eyes of the Japanese hatred, they walked away with the pride of the victors, leaving behind a devastated city, and the twin demons who escorted the escort, and even some reluctantly, strafed the Japanese who were fighting the fire on the ground, and then accelerated to catch up with the bomber formation.

The bombing caused heavy losses to Kure Harbor, two docks, more than a dozen factories were blown up, and even an aircraft carrier under construction was severely damaged, the most tragic was Etajima, where thousands of students were killed in the flames, and more importantly, it shredded the confidence that the Japanese had managed to accumulate in the face of Yang Feng. The gap between the night fighters made them understand that in front of this enemy who had been cursed by them for countless days and nights, their status had not changed in the slightest, and Yang Feng could still play as much as he wanted, and this bombing even shook their confidence in conducting a war, but what made them other than Tao Deman brought them good news.
