Chapter 1307: Old Ben Loses His Light
Now that the fleet has made preparations, Lieutenant Colonel Tang Yunfei, chief of staff of the First Carrier-based Aircraft Flight Regiment of the fleet and commander of the air formation, is completely relieved that the Second Regiment has taken off to meet the enemy, and the number of planes alone has surpassed that of the Japanese bombers.
Without worries, Tang Yunfei gave the order to hunt freely, one after another Japanese bombers, volleyed into pieces, Nakajima Kenji Daisa, his heart was like a knife, those pilots who turned into the sky over the South China Sea were all excellent descendants of the Yamato nation, and they had not seen the shadow of the target, so they disappeared.
Five minutes later, Kenji Nakajima, who was covering several bombers at the cost of his own bones, finally saw the huge fleet under the sunset, and also saw the mighty figures of two aircraft carriers, Nakajima's goal was one of them, he wanted to turn himself and the bomber into a super bomb, and use the sound of his life to realize his will to serve His Majesty the Emperor.
In another five minutes, you can approach the Shina fleet, at that time, it will be fiercely blocked by the anti-aircraft fire of the Shina fleet, in order to ensure that his attack is smooth, Nakajima Kenji issued an order: "The third brigade covers me," the so-called cover, is to use the price of several other bombers to crush the bones to attract the anti-aircraft fire of the Shina fleet, and take the opportunity to rush in.
The third group, with only five bombers left, immediately rushed to the front of the bomber piloted by Nakajima and took on the mission of opening the road to death, Nakajima said almost to himself: "Your Majesty the Emperor." The samurai of the empire are invincible, and I will use my flesh and blood to be in the Chinese fleet. Blow up the soul of the Yamato nation! β
In Nakajima's blood-red eyes, there was only the huge figure of the aircraft carrier, which seemed to be an illusion, and at the line between water and sky, a group of planes appeared out of thin air, and this group of planes flew almost face-to-face with his own bomber group, and it was not yet close. First, a dense rain of bullets poured over, and the bombers that rushed to the front of Nakajima were the first to bear the brunt of the ferocious blow.
A large-caliber machine-gun bullet shattered the glass of the porthole of the bomber. Drilling into Nakajima's body, Nakajima, whose consciousness had gradually been lost, looked at his fleet with difficulty, and a wave of despair hit his heart, "There are only more than forty planes." And there are so many fighter planes from the other side that Amaterasu doesn't favor me, and he doesn't even give me a chance to die with the Shina warship. β
Nakajima's co-pilot was even worse. He was covered in large-caliber machine gun bullets and was beaten like a hornet's nest. "Hold on, hold on!" Nakajima struggled with the last shred of strength. Piloting the bomber, continuing to rush towards the target, a carrier-based aircraft, almost at a vertical angle, dived down from a high altitude, the nose of the plane flickered, three chains of fire, straight on Nakajima's bomber, a loud bang, Nakajima with his mortal wish, turned into pieces of fragments over the South China Sea.
The location of the explosion of the Nakajima bomber was less than three minutes away from the air defense fire network on the periphery of the fleet, and Tang Yunfei's fighter plane passed through the smoke of the explosion of the bomber piloted by Nakajima, and pressed his finger on the firing button again, breaking a Japanese bomber with flames on the fuselage into pieces.
"It's already the sixth plane," Tang Yunfei said secretly in his heart, pulling up the fighter, in his field of vision, he could no longer see the existence of a Japanese bomber, he climbed the fighter a little higher, turned on the radar and searched carefully for a week, but found nothing, "The command center, Tang Yunfei, the air commander of the First Carrier-based Aircraft Flight Regiment, reported that after one hour and fifteen minutes of fierce fighting, all the Japanese bombers that had come to attack had been annihilated, one hundred and sixty-two Japanese bombers, none of them had missed the net, and there were no casualties in our aircraft group, and the report was completed. β
Before hearing the instructions of the command, a fighter plane flew horizontally with Tang Yunfei's fighter plane, and in the earphones, the voice of Colonel Wu Ziming, commander of the second regiment of carrier-based aircraft, came: "I said, Chief of Staff Tang, your first regiment is too ruthless, just leave such a little leftover soup for the second regiment, isn't it interesting enough!" Sixty-four fighters of our regiment were lifted into the air, and each of us didn't catch a single little devil bomber, no, we have to talk to the commander about it when we go back, and the benefits can't all be all of you, right? β
In the tone, there were a lot of complaints, Tang Yunfei pursed his lips and smiled, and did not sneer at each other, he had nothing to say, and he didn't think so much at the time, he just cared about fighting with his head bored, more than 160 Japanese bombers, from seventy or eighty kilometers, to more than ten kilometers, his own regiment killed more than 120 planes, an average of two per pilot, and he ate too much at this time, no wonder Wu Ziming complained.
In the command room of the fleet flagship "Canglang", there was a burst of laughter, the atmosphere was very warm, the conversation between Wu Ziming and Tang Yunfei, everyone in the fleet headquarters heard it clearly, Tang Qiuquan shook his head with a smile, and said secretly in his heart: "Yunfei, this little guy, did a great job, with zero casualties, shot down more than 120 Japanese bombers, and the fleet's first battle got off to a good start!" β
As for Wu Ziming's whining words, Tang Qiuquan appreciated it very much, soldiers, should have this momentum of being competitive and not admitting defeat, especially the officers and soldiers of their own fleet, if they want to say that it is strange, they will blame the Japanese bomber group, and they want to play a little trick, so that Yunfei's aircraft group can pick up a big bargain, "All the air aircraft groups, return immediately, and each unit will make a battle summary and report to the fleet staff." Akiquan gave the order.
Then, he said to the communications officer: "Send a report to the division commander immediately, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, our fleet has completely annihilated the attacking Japanese bomber group, and the fleet has not lost a single one, whether it is carried out according to the original plan, please instruct!" In addition, in order to seize the opportunity and avoid unexpected variables, the opinion of the fleet command is that it should pass through the Strait of Malacca overnight. β
The original plan of the fleet was to pass through the Strait of Malacca tonight and arrive in the waters of the Andaman Sea tomorrow, that is, at about 9 o'clock in the morning of 19 November, to encircle the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, which was already seriously damaged.
However, there was an unexpected situation in which the Japanese bombers on Hainan Island came to attack, and it was delayed for more than four hours, if it had been according to the original plan. Crossing the Strait of Malacca overnight, when the dawn came, the fleet could not all be cleared, and it would be exposed to the Japanese shore artillery, and if it waited, it would have to stay in the eastern waters of the Strait of Malacca for a day and a night.
Within 24 hours, no one could predict any unexpected changes in the Japanese Third Fleet, and the Japanese command organs on Hainan Island would not fail to report this situation to the Japanese base camp, and if the Third Fleet intended to return to the mainland from the Strait of Malacca, it would have encountered the fleet in the strait according to the time calculation.
Sinking all the warships of the Japanese Third Fleet is not a problem at all for the current strength of the fleet, but the purpose of his younger brother is to capture rather than destroy, and Qiuquan has not thought about it, in the waters near Kalimantan Island, to solve this problem, to wait for work, the Japanese Third Fleet just out of the Strait of Malacca, it will collide head-on with the fleet that is waiting for battle.
However, there is another problem with this: if the Japanese Navy's First Fleet rushes to its aid, it will reach the waters of the South China Sea within 24 hours, and it will be an inevitable big battle if the fleet is cut off from returning to the Zhanjiang base, and returning with the spoils of war and engaging the Japanese Navy's First Fleet is a result that Qiuquan does not want to see.
Even if the fleet does not suffer much damage and the captured Japanese warships, the Japanese will never let themselves be brought back to the Zhanjiang Naval Base smoothly, therefore, Qiuquan will have that Jianyì, however, he knows his brother's temper and ability, he should be able to think of this, he is just a reminder, casually explain his thoughts.
After receiving the telegram from the fleet, Tang Qiuli was not as excited as others imagined, the result of the battle was already in his expectations, without fighter escort, the bombers were dispatched to bomb the fleet with aircraft carriers, which was similar to looking for death, except for the crazy and brainless and unreasonable Japanese, who would make such a ridiculous move.
The problem he considered was the same as Tang Qiuquan's, that is, he was afraid that the fleet would take too long to reach the waters of the Andaman Sea and that unexpected changes would occur, and in addition, he would give the Japanese troops holding the Strait of Malacca ample time to prepare.
Having lost all the planes on Hainan Island, the Third Fleet was beaten to the brink again, as long as the Japanese commander with a little brains would judge who the independent division fleet was heading for when it went west in the Malacca Strait, this was the only place and opportunity for the Japanese army to block the fleet, shore artillery, the Japanese shore artillery was a big threat, Tang Qiuli thought.
Time was pressing, and he couldn't allow him to hesitate too much, and said to Liu Xinlan: "Xinlan, call back to Commander Tang of the fleet, according to the original plan, the fleet will pass through the Strait of Malacca tonight, and Le Yiqin's Southern Flight Group will cooperate with the fleet's actions." β
Then, he said to Liu Xinlan: "Order Le Yiqin to return immediately, and prepare for an air attack on the Japanese shore artillery positions in the Strait of Malacca in the early morning of tomorrow, the Japanese bomber group has been eaten up by Brother Qiuquan's fleet, and it is not interesting for him to stay there," When he finished speaking, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but smile, he could guess Le Yiqin's reaction.
Still in the airspace south of Hainan Island, waiting to intercept and kill the returning Japanese bombers Le Yiqin, at this moment, the mood is in a hurry, bringing three fighter regiments, and planning to give him all the money of Nomura, the *** old devil, can fall from the red sun, and wait until the sunset is full, and he doesn't even see the shadow of the Japanese bomber.
At this moment, he received an order from the division commander, "The troops participating in the Southern Flight Group, the mission is completed, and they will return immediately," Le Yiqin was in a state of rage at that time.
