Chapter 829 Eagle strikes the sky
When Hong Kong and Macao were completely lost, neither Henry nor Churchill was powerless to urge the advance army, and they knew that even if the advance army arrived, Hong Kong would fall.
They knew that the advance army had enough time to block the Japanese attack and intercept them from landing. It's just that what we're waiting for is falling.
In the port of Macau, Anteng Liji stood on the deck with great ambition, looking at Macao where the smoke of gunpowder had basically dissipated, and he could really say that he was full of spirit and was very.
His picture will soon appear in the local newspapers, and he is the star of the day, the focus of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Dipti.
As the warships approached the dock, the Japanese troops were greeted in a procession. Among them, there are also those yellow people who make up the numbers, holding small sun flags, acting as local welcome people.
With a steady wave of his hand, he stepped off the gangplank, walked onto the dock, and walked to the podium prepared for him.
He was going to give a speech here, condolences to the hard-working soldiers, and receive cheers and photos below. Today, shoot the moment he went down in history.
He walked steadily, step by step, steadily towards the podium.
At this moment, a sudden gunshot rang out from a distance, followed by a terrible siren. At the moment when the crowd panicked, the roar of a motor was heard in the sky.
"Air strikes by enemy aircraft !!"
Amid the terrible shouts, the dock was in chaos. The top brass of the Japanese army rushed to Antenliji, surrounded by guards, and rushed to the building behind the podium. Almost at the same time, on the sea outside the harbor, a field of planes rushed towards the sea, and rushed towards several light warships in the harbor.
At the mouth of the river leading to Guangzhou, a group of warships that covered the sky and the sun flew straight there, and Hong Kong was the same, the sea to the sea. There are planes in the port.
Macao is the focus of attention here, and it is blocked here, and it will be difficult for troop carriers to escape from those warships and transport ships that enter close to Hong Kong.
When the chaotic crowd on the dock ran and the shouts of the air defense rang out everywhere, helicopters flew close to the sea.
Da Da ......
The nose of the attack aircraft was sprayed with three tongues of fire, and dense bullets covered the crowd at the dock.
The rain of bullets caused the Japanese troops to fall in pieces, and blood and debris fluttered all over the sky. But the helicopters were clearly not aimed at them, this wave of planes flew from the north side, and their target was the North African dock crowd, but the warships that were panicking at anchor, the three light warships and troop carriers, the transports.
Standing on the pole love you, the Japanese army ran in a panic. They rushed to their respective positions, anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns quickly swayed, and the chains of bullets rushed towards them.
Behind them, that is, on the sea, the same plane pounced, and the bullet chain was drawn from afar, heading straight for the battleship.
There was no air defense on a light cruiser. Before several anti-aircraft machine guns could be aimed at the oncoming fighters, they were struck by the chains that pounced on them first.
Jingle in the sound. The Japanese soldiers who operated the anti-aircraft machine guns were torn apart by the bullets, and the anti-aircraft machine guns also fell to one side. The anti-aircraft artillery, almost the same fate, in a few strokes of several bullet chains, roaring flames rose and debris flew indiscriminately. Hit by machine guns from helicopters, completely scrapped.
The battleship was like a trapped hungry wolf, braving smoke and trying to highlight the harbor. But where do they still have a chance? While the Cambridge commander was locked by the helicopter and shot inside, one helicopter after another watched the deck. In the sound of da-da, the Japanese soldiers who rushed out desperately and strafed with the German-made flower machine guns in their hands were cleaned up, and their flesh and blood were splashed, and it was difficult to get close to the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.
Helicopters, of course, will not let these anti-aircraft weapons work, and a sneak attack will lead to them being controlled, but once they are powerful, the helicopter will not be able to withstand the penetration of anti-aircraft machine guns. So, it must be destroyed.
In the strafing fire, helicopters locked onto those anti-aircraft weapons, and the machine guns fired accurately, and in the roar, completely destroyed the few anti-aircraft weapons.
In this way, these three light battleships became toothless tigers, except that with thick smoke, the cannons on the ships were erected and tried to hit the planes with the cannons.
But this was useless, the moment the attack aircraft completed its mission, the transport planes behind it had already accelerated, and when the helicopters pounced on the Japanese troops who were fleeing, they roared towards the battleships that had begun to accelerate, and then the bomb oil barrels fell one after another.
The battleships without anti-aircraft weapons could do nothing but flee for their lives, and at this moment they cursed loudly at the attacking troops, why they destroyed the anti-aircraft positions of the Portuguese army, and blew up those anti-aircraft weapons. Or is there still a weapon to deal with an air attack?
But these were useless, one bomb after another fell, the loud roar sounded continuously, and clusters of fire came out on the battleship, and the battleship, dragging the smoke in the firelight, still accelerated, desperately struggling to leave the harbor.
The bomb fell, followed by oil drums, barrels of thickened gasoline heads fell with the battleship's pocket, burst with them, and ignited one after another.
The firelight surrounded the battleship in a short moment, and the fire wrapped the battleship without a single gap. The tumbling wamen licked everything, setting the corpses on deck on fire and blasting those munitions.
With the sound of banging, the Japanese soldiers in those ship guns howled and escaped from the turret, but where could they escape from the flames everywhere? Anyway, I can't do without the cabin.
At the moment when the tower command was lost, a light cruiser lost its direction to the voyage while encircling the battleship in flames, and had just turned around, but before it could be in the right direction, it stabbed obliquely at another battleship.
But no one saw this situation, two big fireballs accelerated, one lazy collided, and no one saw them dozens of meters apart, so they collided together with a bang, hugged intimately, and burned fiercely.
They are destined to sink, but it is only time to sink.
The fate of those troop carriers and transport ships was the same: in the rain of helicopter shells, rudimentary anti-aircraft weapons were destroyed one after another, and then the oil drum bombs fell and shattered with a bang, igniting a skyrocketing fire.
The harbor, in just a few minutes, turned into a sea of fire, the battleships, none of the three ships, all slowed down in the fierce burning, and two of them made a squeaky steel tearing sound, burning in a group, exploding, it was only a matter of time.
Taking control of the port, the helicopter group completed its mission in just about ten minutes, leaving behind all the troop carriers, and then rushed to the next target, which was the outlying positions of the city and the warships in Hong Kong to intercept them.
As for the Japanese troops who were in a hurry to find and dodge, it was not for their wave of planes to take care of, they just wanted to rely on the planes to leave the battleships close to the shore, all the troop transports, and transport ships, so that the Japanese troops who landed would become lone soldiers and let them stay here completely.
On the sea, the commander-in-chief is still three books and fifty-six, and he takes a new type of destroyer to sit in the fleet. When he heard the air raid by the enemy planes, he was shocked and ordered all the attack planes to take off and go straight to Hong Kong and Macao to provide support.
Their planes had just finished forming and had not yet flown ten nautical miles before they pounced on them.
There were only more than 100 attack planes in the four aircraft carriers, and at the moment when the three formations had just taken shape, the Japanese saw the black and oppressive aircraft group in the distance, and they were immediately shocked.
There were only a hundred of them, but there were three hundred helicopters, and before they could get closer, the rain of bullets on the opposite side blocked all the space to move forward.
Finished......
Almost all Japanese pilots had this idea in mind.
While they saw the enemy plane clearly, they knew that this was an advance force plane that they could not defeat, and it was unknown whether they could escape back to the battleship, let alone fight.
As a result, one plane after another swooped and climbed, flipped and dodged, and no one met the battle at all, and those who escaped the chain volley fled in the direction of the aircraft carrier without looking back, and in the midst of the flames blooming in the sky, dozens of Japanese planes that had blown up the group fled back.
Looking at the fleeing fighters, the handheld ordered to stop moving forward and wait for the submarine to confirm whether the fleet had left. They are all attack aircraft, with limited fuel and limited fuel, so they cannot pursue them from a long distance and cannot stay in the air for a long time. Even if they catch up, it won't help, they don't have bombs.
At the same time, he ordered the fleet to besiege the city to prevent enemy planes from attacking the air, and ordered light destroyers and frigates to form an assault fleet to use air defense to assist the only dozens of attack planes to disperse and defeat this air force, so that the warships could support Hong Kong and Macao. There were more than 100,000 troops there, and once they were gone, all those soldiers would be wiped out by the advance army. The most crucial one more person is there, and that is Antengliji.
He was preparing for a game here, but the fleet at the mouth of the river was dying.
Here were one of the main targets, there were a dozen light battleships, there was a battleship, a cruiser, and they were attacked the hardest, of course.
But there was no such thing as a sneak attack here, and the moment the helicopter flew low and approached the battleship, it was already out of range and was spotted. As a result, fierce battles broke out, and one after another helicopters sprayed tongues of fire and fired at the anti-aircraft weapons on the battleship, and flexibly dodged, climbed and flipped over.
At the same time, transport planes dropped bombs vertically at high altitudes, directly bombarding the battleships below.
In the loud bang and clattering roar, the bombs set off a column of rushing water on the sea, and some bombs fell on the battleship, but after all, they were a few, and they did not hit the vital point.
In the barrage, one plane after another was shot down by the Japanese warship, and the transport planes no longer dropped bombs, but dropped oil drums one after another, and then the sea was surrounded by fire.
The flames and smoke not only blocked the sight of the Japanese troops, but more importantly, the anti-aircraft weapons close to the side of the ship could not be approached, and the scorching waves baked all the weapons hot in a few minutes, and people could not operate them.
The reduction of anti-aircraft weapons is tantamount to the death sentence of these warships, and how much they can escape depends on luck. (To be continued......)
