Chapter 730: The Rookies' Outstanding Achievements

As soon as the Japanese Minister of the Navy and Commander of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy, Heihachiro Togo, learned the approximate size of the Imperial Chinese Navy's fleet entering Tokyo Bay, the second wave of carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Navy flew over the heads of the Japanese Navy outside the port of Yokohama and began to continue to dive bomb the warships of the Japanese Navy on the sea.

Heihachiro Togo ordered to one of the Japanese Navy Commanders beside him with a gloomy face: "Send a telegram to the captains of the warships, the Navy of the Chinese Empire, there is a large fleet approaching, so that all the warships of our Imperial Japanese Navy are ready to withdraw to the port of Yokohama at any time, relying on the shore defense guns in the port to resist the naval fleet of the Chinese Empire." ”

When Heihachiro Togo heard that this Imperial Chinese Navy fleet had 4 super dreadnought battleships, more than 15 dreadnought battleships, and more than 22 all-steel battleships, he knew that the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy must not be allowed to face each other head-to-head on the sea.

If it weren't for the buzzing fighters of the Chinese Empire, Heihachiro Togo would still have the confidence to fight with the upcoming fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, after all, the warships originally owned by the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, plus the hundreds of warships of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, are not inferior to the fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy in terms of scale, but with those fighters of the Chinese Empire, everything is different.

In the first wave of air raids, the Japanese Navy lost 3 dreadnought battleships and 3 all-steel battleships, a total of 6 capital battleships were sunk by the fighters of the Chinese Empire, and now the second wave of air raids has begun, I don't know how many warships the Japanese Navy will lose in this wave of air raids!

Heihachiro Togo now only hopes to rely on the numerous shore defense guns in the port of Yokohama. Cooperate with the warships of the Combined Fleet to block the attack of this Imperial Chinese Navy fleet and keep as many Japanese naval warships as possible.

Time quickly passed by with the sound of incessant explosions. The second wave of air raids by the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group of the Imperial Chinese Navy ended in about 12 minutes, and only 142 of the 192 carrier-based aircraft in the second wave were able to return home, and a full 50 carrier-based aircraft were destroyed by the Japanese Navy's anti-aircraft fire in the second wave of air raids.

However, the Japanese Navy did not have a good time, and in the second wave of air raids, the original warships of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet. Another 1 Kagu-class dreadnought, 1 Kongo-class all-steel battleship, 1 large fast armored cruiser, 2 fast protection cruisers, 2 destroyers, and 2 torpedo boats were sunk.

The Japanese Navy captured the warships of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet, and in the second wave of air raids, 1 Wyoming-class dreadnought, 1 Virginia-class all-steel battleship, 1 Connecticut-class all-steel battleship, 1 large fast armored cruiser, 2 fast protection cruisers, 2 destroyers, and 2 torpedo boats were also sunk by carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

Faced with the bombing of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, Heihachiro Togo was extremely frustrated. In the second wave of air raids, five more main battleships were sunk, and the next wave of bombing by the fighters of the Chinese Empire did not know how many waves of bombing, perhaps the fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy that suddenly appeared had not yet arrived in Yokohama. The main force of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy. It's going to be blown up.

However, to Togo's relief, until 2:30 p.m. on March 10, 1909, the huge fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy that entered Tokyo Bay appeared in the sea outside the port of Yokohama. There were no more warplanes of the Chinese Empire.

During the third wave of air raids, a Sea Eagle dive bomber was making a dive against a Japanese Navy dreadnought battleship on the surface. This dreadnought battleship is the Delaware-class dreadnought battleship Münster of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet captured by the Japanese Navy, and around the dreadnought battleship Münster, there are 2 fast protection cruisers, 2 destroyers and 5 torpedo boats to provide anti-aircraft fire support for it, and just now 1 Seagull fighter and 1 Seahawk bomber were destroyed by dense anti-aircraft fire in the process of diving.

The pilot of this Sea Eagle dive bomber is called Li Zheng, who is only 21 years old this year, and has just undergone more than three months of pilot training; before this air raid on the Japanese Navy, Li Zheng only flew the plane in the sky for a little more than nine hours, and even 10 hours of training flight time was not enough, so it can be said that he is a rookie among rookies.

Li Zheng piloted this Sea Eagle dive bomber to participate in the first wave of air raids, but when the aircraft carrier took off, Li Zheng was nervous, so he did not plant this Sea Eagle dive bomber directly into the sea, Li Zheng finally pulled up this Sea Eagle dive bomber, flew with other carrier-based aircraft to the sea outside the port of Yokohama, and bombed the warships of the Japanese Navy. It is a pity that none of the 500-kilogram aerial bombs suspended under Li Zheng's Sea Eagle dive bomber and the two 100-kilogram aerial bombs suspended under the wings on both sides of the aircraft have blown up any warships of the Japanese Navy, which makes Li Zheng feel very depressed.

Li Zheng's Sea Eagle dive bomber did not suffer any damage in the first wave of air raids, so he flew the fighter plane to participate in the third wave of air raids.

Now Li Zheng is nervous, clenching his teeth, the green tendons in his temples are tensed, sweat continues to flow down his forehead, and the dense anti-aircraft fire can turn Li Zheng's sea eagle dive bomber into a fireball at any time, but the firmness in Li Zheng's eyes did not waver at all, he kept looking at the height of the dive descent in the instrument, as well as the position of the dreadnought battleship on the sea, and calculated the angle of the bomb.

"All the gods bless! Let little Japan's shells and bullets not touch my plane, I haven't had a girlfriend yet! ”

Finally, Li Zheng drove the Sea Eagle dive bomber to a height of 1,800 meters above the sea, and then Li Zheng did not hesitate to throw 1 500-kilogram aerial bomb and 2 100-kilogram aerial bombs at the dreadnought battleship on the sea. The damage that can be brought is not great, but Li Zheng, who is extremely nervous, has no place to take care of this, and quickly drops all the aerial bombs. Then control the sea eagle dive bomber to quickly climb into the sky.

Li Zheng's luck was good this time, 3 aerial bombs all fell on the top of the Münster dreadnought battleship, although the 2 100-kilogram aerial bombs did not bring much damage to the Münster dreadnought battleship, but the other 500-kilogram aerial bomb directly penetrated the deck armor of the Münster dreadnought battleship, and then penetrated several layers of steel plates, and fell directly in the ammunition compartment of a main gun shell. The 500-kilogram aerial bomb then detonated hundreds of 305-millimeter shells in the ammunition compartment, and the Dreadnought Münster did not last long before disappearing into the sea.

"Hahaha! Hit the mark! I hit it! It looks like the ammunition compartment of this dreadnought battleship has been detonated! Hahaha! I, Li Zheng, am going to be developed this time! I sank 1 dreadnought! Li Zheng saw the Dreadnought battleship Münster on the sea in a violent explosion. Being blown in two and sinking towards the sea, I couldn't help but shout excitedly, as a rookie pilot of a Hainan Airlines dive bomber, I was able to blow up and sink 1 dreadnought battleship in the first battle. Definitely couldn't have been more perfect.

In this third air raid. The original Japanese Navy's combined fleet of 1 Hyuga-class dreadnought, 2 Kongo-class all-steel battleships, 1 large fast armored cruiser, 2 fast protection cruisers, 3 destroyers and 1 torpedo boat were sunk, and the warships of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet were captured, including 1 Delaware-class dreadnought, 1 Florida-class dreadnought, 1 Virginia-class all-steel battleship, 1 Chishaji-class all-steel battleship, 1 ironclad battleship, 3 fast-protection cruisers, 3 destroyers and 2 torpedo boats were sunk.

In the third wave of air raids, Xiao Zhengda, commander of the aircraft carrier formation of the four mythical aircraft carriers of the Imperial Chinese Navy, saw that the carrier-based aircraft of the four aircraft carriers suffered great losses in the first two waves of air raids, so he did not continue to carry out the combat plan of the bombing in turns, but carried out the first two waves of air raids. Safely returned to the aircraft carrier, again without a damaged carrier-based aircraft. A carrier-based aircraft group of the third wave of air strikes was formed.

The third wave of the Royal Chinese Navy's carrier-based air fleet consisted of 115 Seagull fighters, 103 Seahawk bombers, 22 Sea Eagle dive bombers and 24 Puffin torpedo bombers, although the third wave of air raids also brought very large losses to the Japanese Navy, but another 52 carrier-based aircraft were destroyed by anti-aircraft fire in the process of air raids, and some of them barely flew back to the aircraft carrier and landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier, but without thorough repairs, they could no longer continue to take to the skies.

In this way, the four mythical aircraft carriers with damaged carrier-based aircraft were removed, and the four mythical aircraft carriers of the Imperial Chinese Navy were less than 180 carrier-based aircraft that could be lifted into the air for combat, and it was not impossible to continue to carry out the fourth wave of air raids, but Chen Ming, commander of the Fourth Fleet, and Xiao Zhengda, commander of the aircraft carrier formation, discussed with a radio station and decided to cancel the fourth wave of air raids, and the first three waves of air raids had already achieved the effect of severely damaging the Japanese Navy.

The Japanese Navy, including the warships of the US Navy that they captured, at least 15 or more of the main battleships were sunk in the air raid, and the remaining remnants of the Japanese Navy in the port of Yokohama were handed over to the other warships of the Fourth Fleet, as well as the Fifth Fleet, the Sixth Fleet, the Hakodate Port Garrison Fleet, and the submarine fleet to be destroyed!

It is not easy for the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire to train pilots for the Navy, this time for the Great War in the Arabian Sea and the Great War in Tokyo Bay in Japan, the 13 aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire have almost used all the pilots that can be used, and there are many pilots who are very pink rookies, and before they officially participate in the battle, the training flight time is even only a dozen hours, or like Li Zheng, the training flight time is not enough for 10 hours.

And in order to deal with the powerful second joint expeditionary fleet, most of the experienced pilots were transferred to the top of the 9 Emperor-class aircraft carriers, and the top of the 4 myth-class aircraft carriers, most of them were rookie pilots, that is, the crew members on the Seahawk bombers, and most of them were newcomers.

Therefore, under the attack of these rookie pilots, they can achieve such good results, Chen Ming, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, and Xiao Zhengda, the commander of the aircraft carrier formation, are already very, very satisfied, and now it is better to reserve some more seeds for HNA!

In the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan, Emperor Meiji has been restless since he learned that the fighters of the Chinese Empire launched an air raid on Yokohama, you must know that the port of Yokohama not only has most of the main forces of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, but also the warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet that Japan has just plotted to seize. Head straight to the port of Yokohama.

At this time, Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang held a piece of paper in his hand, walked to Emperor Meiji's side with a gloomy face, and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the fighters of the Chinese Empire have carried out three waves of air attacks on the combined fleet of our Imperial Japanese Empire in the port of Yokohama. ”

Emperor Meiji couldn't help but nervously ask, "Loss...... Is the loss big? ”

Prime Minister Saionji Gong nodded with a heavy face and said: "In the three waves of air raids, the original warships of our Imperial Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, including 1 Kagu-class dreadnought battleship, 1 Hyuga-class dreadnought battleship, 1 Hanoi-class dreadnought battleship, 1 Fuji-class all-steel battleship, 3 Kongo-class all-steel battleships, 3 large fast armored cruisers, 6 fast-protection cruisers, 7 destroyers and 4 torpedo boats were sunk by the fighters of the Chinese Empire, and the American warships captured by our Imperial Japanese Navy, 2 Delaware-class dreadnought battleships, 2 Florida-class dreadnought battleships, 1 Wyoming-class dreadnought, 2 Chishach-class all-steel battleships, 1 Illinois-class all-steel battleship, 2 Virginia-class all-steel battleships, 1 Connecticut-class all-steel battleship, 2 ironclad battleships, 2 large fast armored cruisers, 8 fast protection cruisers, 7 destroyers, and 6 torpedo boats were sunk. ”

According to the data of Prime Minister Saionji Gong, Emperor Meiji roughly calculated in his mind that the Japanese Navy had lost 18 capital battleships and dozens of warships of other types in the air raids, and this loss was also too great, and Emperor Meiji couldn't help but shake his body a little.
