Chapter 376: Objectives of the Chinese Air Force

Mitsuo Fuchida was the captain of the aviation flight on the aircraft carrier "Akagi". This time, he followed the "Akagi" to the south in order to "annihilate" the Chinese Air Force. It can be said that he is full of confidence in this fight. Because he had led a team to shoot down an unknown number of Soviet planes in the skies of the Far East. There are several "ace pilots" in his ranks, and he himself is known as the ace of aces.

Therefore, when he saw the Chinese fighters that looked new on the surface, but were bloated and extremely slow, he was not even interested in attacking...... Fighting this kind of plane, there is no sense of accomplishment at all, are all the rumors about the Chinese Air Force that I heard before fake? But when the enemy came, he could not fail to fight, so he quickly ordered an attack, and gave the order to the whole team to have dinner in half an hour. He even thought that the battle might not take more than half an hour...... They outnumbered the enemy, and their performance was several times greater than that of the Unknown Tunnel, and after engaging the enemy, the battle should be over in ten minutes.

However, the legendary extremely cunning and insidious enemy has played tricks again this time.

When their Zero fighter swooped down with an extremely arrogant stance, the opponent's speed suddenly increased...... Although it can only be visually inspected, Mitsuo Fuchida can still see that the other party's speed is faster than them! Or even much faster! At that moment, he knew that his orders could not be fulfilled, and that perhaps his team might not be able to continue to be fully staffed after the battle. However, although the opponent's speed is faster than his own, Mitsuo Fuchida still has a certain amount of confidence...... He believed in his own skills, and even more so in the superior performance of the Zero he was driving. If the speed can't be compared, then we will compare with others.

But the reality once again dealt a serious blow to his confidence.

Because they despised each other too much at the beginning, the Japanese air forces did not form a battle formation, and when the other side suddenly accelerated. After arousing their vigilance, it was too late to form a formation. Almost instantly, several Zeros were smashed to pieces in the air by a dense rain of bullets. After that, the Chinese fighters began to climb rapidly. Faced with this situation, Fuchida and others, who had rich experience in air combat in the Far East, were very clear about the other party's intentions, and immediately climbed up. But it didn't take long for the problem to arise...... They couldn't climb to each other's heights. In other words, they can only let the other party rain bullets at them from high altitudes, and they can't run yet...... Because the speed can't be compared.

"This can't be, this can't be—"

Fuchida was yelling. He could not accept this fact. He had already been targeted by the enemy twice in a row, and he finally managed to dodge it with his super high flying skills. But now, as there are fewer fighters on their side, more and more enemies are targeting him...... IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE FLEXIBILITY AND LIGHTNESS OF THE FUSELAGE, THE ZERO WAS ONLY EQUIPPED WITH TWO 20MM CANNONS, BUT AFTER THE CONTACT JUST NOW. He found that each fighter of the opposing side was equipped with at least five or six machine guns. Navigating through such a dense net of bullets is simply fatal. Even the Soviet pilots who were hunted by them in the skies of the Far East did not have such an encounter...... When did the Chinese become so generous and rich? Fuchida even suspected that he was having a nightmare.

"Evacuate. Evacuation is necessary. ”

Japan's air forces were far less focused on the spirit of bushido than the army. Fuchida Mitsuo was later known for his madness, and was appointed by Yamamoto 556 as one of the members of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Tiger! Tiger! "It was from him. But now he can't go crazy at all...... He just wanted to run for his life. Especially after seeing the signal from the ground, he couldn't care a lot, and he wanted to get out of the battle circle with a swing of his tail. Escape to Guangzhou Airport. However, at this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly swept into the sky in the distance, and a group of small black dots appeared, and the visual speed was not slow, but the other party was obviously not coming towards Guangzhou City. The goal seems to be......

"At sea!? Go to the sea to do ...... Not good—"

At sea, isn't that direction where the naval fleet is anchored? There were the "Akagi" in his service, as well as the "Soryu", as well as the battleships "Yamashiro" and "Ise", as well as a number of other warships. The "Akagi" and "Soryu" secretly sent them to Guangzhou, and the reason why the "Yamashiro" and the "Ise" came together was not only because of the increasingly tense relations between the empire and Britain and the United States, but also because of the increasingly tense relations between the empire and Britain and the United States, and the escort of the two aircraft carriers, but also because of the deterrence of the British and American forces in Southeast Asia, and at the same time to publicize the great force of the empire to the countries of Southeast Asia, so as to win the refuge of the local forces of each country. According to the original mission, this powerful fleet should have secretly sailed into Hainan first, and after the battle of Guangxi began, on the one hand, it would transport troops to the Beibu Gulf, and on the other hand, it would begin to "patrol" the South Seas! However, because the Chinese had already known their plans in advance, the fleet simply appeared in public, hoping to deter the enemy and the Chinese in Guangdong and other places who still had a bad attitude towards the empire. But now the group of planes that suddenly appeared flew in the direction of the fleet...... Mitsuo Fuchida suddenly had a bad premonition, and this premonition made his heart tremble. But he only had time to shout "not good", and then because of this momentary distraction, he was targeted by four or five Chinese fighters at the same time, and then torn to pieces by the machine gun.

……

"Fleet, immediately notify the fleet, let them pay attention to air defense, air defense-"

Mitsuo Fuchida could see it from high altitude, and Toshikichi Ando also spotted the "unclear" flight formation on the ground...... However, he was luckier than Mitsuo Fuchida, because there were no enemy planes around him, so it gave him enough time to judge the path of the group of planes. This didn't take him much time, and in less than two seconds, he had already judged that the group of planes was the bomber formation of the Chinese Air Force that had disappeared earlier!

The other side is heading towards their naval fleet.

But the problem is that the navy is simply unprepared.

"It's too late!"

Yamaguchi couldn't take care of his plane anymore, and he sat on the ground...... As the commander of the fleet aviation, he was well aware of the Navy's view of the battle. Those people did not think that this battle would be "involved" in themselves, they only thought that they were just here to transport planes, transport troops, and show their existence. Navy officers were not even as concerned about the Guangxi Campaign as a small army soldier, and what they were most concerned about was which routes they should take to "inspect" the South Seas! Therefore, even though it was already known that the Chinese Air Force was attacking Guangzhou, the naval fleet did not issue a summoning order, and most of the naval officers and men were still resting on the shore, and the commander of the fleet, Vice Takeshi Toyoda, even attended a drinking party in Guangzhou last night, which was still nearly 200 kilometers away from the fleet he was going to command! What's more, even if the officers and men of the Navy are at their posts, what can they do? No matter how slow the bomber is, it can definitely fly to the sea before the battleship is fully activated, and then drop the bomb......

"Amaterasu is above, I just hope that the Chinese's bombs are not so powerful!" Yamaguchi looked up at the sky, ignoring the glare of the sun, and muttered pleading. Most of the battleships are rough and thick-skinned, especially aircraft carriers and battleships, which are not something ordinary things can shake at all. Even if the battleships bombarded each other with naval guns of three or four hundred millimeters for several hours or even a day, they might not be able to sink each other. Although the Chinese Air Force was able to drop bombs, the damage to the warships was not greater...... Therefore, even if it is defenseless, the losses of the fleet should not be too great. After all, the Chinese bomber group can only come once, and it is impossible to bomb back and forth without stopping.

"I remember...... The Chinese seem to have thrown torpedoes when they attacked Sasebo, right? Hearing Yamaguchi's much-smelling prayer, Toshikichi Ando suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Torpedo?"

Yamaguchi couldn't help but shudder.

"Do you still have the leisure to play chess?"

Chongqing.

No. 151 Zengjiayan, Dai Mansion.

Dai Li looked at Qin Wei, who was standing in the living room and constantly looking at the decoration in the room, his face was full of depression...... This guy has a thief's face all over his face, shouldn't he want to take a few things?

"I'm doing this for your good, stealing half a day's leisure! Do you want to be like the guys over there, worrying about this and that, and even hearing a knock on the door? Qin Wei stretched out his hand and picked up a porcelain vase on the shelf on the side, "What age?" ”

"Qianlong blue and white!" Dai Lian replied casually, and said, "Can you not worry?" What if that 'Hellcat' isn't as good as you say? In the face of the Japanese fighter group, it will not be completely annihilated? Half of them were Americans...... There is also a mixed formation of bombers and fighters following them, which is also more than half of the strength of our air force. If they can't stop in front of them, there's a good chance they won't even be able to run. In that case, if we encounter the Japanese air force again, we will have no power to fight back. ”

"How about this bottle for me?" Qin Wei played with the porcelain bottle for a while and asked.

"Do you still have the leisure to come to me to fish?" Dai Li said angrily, "You don't worry about the war ahead? ”

"What's the use of worrying?" Qin Wei didn't ask anymore, he directly held the bottle in his arms, and continued to search for it on the shelf, "Worry, the battle can be won?" ”

"Then you'll have to at least behave a little bit of that, right?" Dai Li smiled bitterly, "You're on the cusp right now." Although you have cleaned up Long Yun, everyone can see that the chairman of the committee is becoming more and more jealous of you now...... Now they are sending you to the Yunnan-Guizhou Pacification Office, ostensibly to guard the party, but in fact they are throwing you out of the central government. If you've been doing well, that's fine, but once you've lost the battle...... Some people have fallen into the well for you, do you believe it or not? ”

"I believe it." Qin Wei nodded, "But it's because of faith that we have to fight...... By the way, you said that if I don't go to Yunnan and Guizhou, go to the northwest instead, or simply go to the second war zone to have a companion with Yan Xishan, can Lao Jiang agree? ”

"What do you want to do?" (To be continued......)
