It is not surprising that the Japanese destroyers and frigates in charge of air defense around the "Izumo" and the planes that escaped from the direction of Shanghai were like frightened birds and fish that had slipped through the net, and they had only one mind to run back quickly, and there was no formation at all, let alone a group of planes.

This doomed the fate of the "Izumo", and when it was discovered, it was too late, the Chinese planes were all over the Izumo, and the anti-aircraft guns on these warships hurriedly turned their muzzles, but they could not shoot, and there were their own people who did not land.

The aviation commander on the Izumo was also panicked, and hurriedly ordered the fighters who had not yet landed, immediately intercept the Chinese planes, take off for the fighters on the mothership to meet the battle, buy time, and be sure to ensure the safety of the mothership, even if it is all jade pieces, at any cost, it is okay, he has a bright brain, knowing that the value between an aircraft and an aircraft carrier is different.

The Japanese fighter pilot who received the order, almost cried, you got your head in the water? An order, to put it lightly, the plane ran out of fuel, indeed, after the bombing of Shanghai, and then a struggle with the Chinese Air Force, the fuel can support the return to the Izumo aircraft carrier, which is already quite a good technology, and still have to fight? Airplanes don't blow up.

All favorable conditions are in favor of Gao Zhihang and his comrades-in-arms, the Japanese fighters can still support a few circles, but the bulky bombers cannot, they are about to fall into the sea, followed by the Chinese who are asking for their lives, the bullets hit the wings straight out of sparks, ignoring the commander's order not to allow landing, the nose of the aircraft is aimed at the flight deck, and a head is pounced.

The plane jumped violently a few times, crookedly twisted, and finally taxied smoothly, the pilot had the joy of picking up a life, but was not happy enough, the aircraft carrier aircraft that was ordered to take off was also taxiing on the runway at high speed, preparing for an emergency takeoff, the two planes collided head-on, "boom" a loud bang, a huge fire broke out on the flight deck of the Izumo, and it affected many planes parked on the side.

The consequences were catastrophic, the planes filled with fuel and bombs became powder magazines, a series of explosions and fires, uncontrollable, leaking fuel, like a series of cheerful, meandering fire snakes, leaking from the top deck of the Izumo to the next level, and the flames flew wherever the fire snakes swam.

This was not a bomb or torpedo hit from the outside, with the displacement of more than 10,000 tons of the Izumo aircraft carrier, as long as it was not a fatal part, it could not sink, but it was burned from the inside, and the fire quickly spread, and the Izumo smoked everywhere and caught fire everywhere, like a huge fireworks.

This situation is so bad that the Chinese war eagles are stunned, and this is the end of it? Before a few shuttle bullets were fired, let's chase down those Japanese planes without fuel, and the frigates around could only watch the flames of the object they protected soaring, helpless.

The Japanese planes, which finally ran out of fuel, had no place to stay, lost power, swirled like iron bumps and planted on the surface of the sea, umbrella flowers burst out in the air, and the Chinese war eagles, with good martial virtues, did not shoot the Japanese pilots who were floating in the air and parachuted, but instead of Japanese pilots, they would definitely not let go, and they would definitely pounce like mad dogs, this is the essential difference between the Chinese and the Japanese.

The fire finally ignited the Izumo's fuel tank and ammunition compartment, and with two thunderclaps, a huge mushroom cloud rose up, and the huge explosion force blew up the second half of the aircraft carrier, and the Izumo aircraft carrier, the bow of the ship jumped out of the sea, fell heavily, and sank into the blue waters of the vast Pacific Ocean, and only a little of the mast could be seen, and it quickly disappeared.

The floating base on which the Japanese naval aviation relied to commit murder in Shanghai, the soul and core of the Japanese Third Fleet, the "Izumo"

The aircraft carrier, right on the surface of the East China Sea, died in the belly of the fish, and together with its famous name, it became a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, perhaps, this is the best ending for the "Izumo" and thousands of Japanese sailors.

Gao Zhihang witnessed the spectacular scene of the sinking of the Japanese Navy aircraft carrier, and whistled happily, "Brothers, the work is done, go home J"

The other Japanese ships were crazy, the pride of the navy, the heart and soul of the Third Fleet, were killed by these Chinese planes, they could not be let go, it was best to catch the live Chinese pilots, peeling the skin and cramping, all the anti-aircraft artillery fire, forming a dense fire net, determined to leave Gao Zhihang and them.

This is what Gao Zhihang had long expected, the first to rush in the direction of the relatively weak firepower of the Japanese ships, while rushing, they opened fire fiercely, and the bullets did not need to be brought back, they were all sent to the Japanese, and the other fighters also concentrated their firepower, and finally opened a gap and broke away from the Japanese air defense fire network, Gao Zhihang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brethren, are you all alive?" He hurriedly contacted him, only thirty-four people answered him, Gao Zhihang pulled the nose of the plane, and saw a scene that he will never forget, two Chinese war eagles, with billowing smoke, slammed into a Japanese destroyer, one of them, drilled into the chimney of the warship, and in the violent explosion, the Japanese destroyer slowly sank and became the funeral object of the "Izumo".

Gao Zhihang's tears couldn't stop flowing, he was proud of his brothers' bravery, he already knew who they were, one was called Yan Haiwen, the other was called Shen Chongxue, they were all good young men, compared to the old pilots of the four teams, they belonged to novices, but today's feat proved that they were fearless war eagles.

With the pride of victory and the nostalgia for the sacrifice of comrades-in-arms, Gao Zhihang's fourth destroyer team, facing the bright sunshine of the south of the Yangtze River, returned victoriously, this adventure, at the cost of two comrades-in-arms, killed the "Izumo" aircraft carrier, rammed and sank a destroyer, such a record, enough for them to carry the history of the Chinese Air Force.

The boundless blue water, quickly receded behind him, saw the coastline of the motherland, the group had flown over Shanghai, Gao Zhihang opened the call channel, and immediately heard the call of the Jianqiao Aviation School Tower, followed by Zhou Zhirou's eager voice:

"Gao Zhihang, is that you?"

"Report to the chief, the four destroyer groups have completed the task of raiding the Japanese aircraft carrier formation, the Izumo aircraft carrier and a destroyer have been sunk, but they are ......" Gao Zhihang groaned for a moment, and the plane covered in fire and two young faces appeared in front of him.

Zhou Zhirou was ~ shocked first, kill the Japanese aircraft carrier? He couldn't believe it a little, and then he was shocked, Gao Zhihang's "just" made his heart sink, Zhou Zhirou was already mentally prepared, Gao Zhihang, a madman, committed suicide, I hope he can bring back a few more planes, and it would be good if he was not wiped out.

"Tell me, just what?" He asked eagerly, "It's just that the pilots of our brigade, Yan Haiwen and Shen Chongzhi, drove the fighter plane that was injured by Gong Shi, rammed and sank the Japanese destroyer, and died a heroic martyr," Gao Zhihang's voice was full of grief.

"Is it the loss of only two people and two planes?" Zhou Zhirou asked, and after getting Gao Zhihang's affirmative answer, Zhou Zhirou sat down in the chair again, what day is today? His mind was a little lacking, a series of huge surprises, and the relaxation after extreme worry, made his heart beat wildly.

Shot down more than 100 Japanese planes, sank the main aircraft carrier of the Japanese army, "Izumo", and a destroyer, and only paid the price of two pilots killed. Let them achieve earth-shattering results as soon as they shot, and Zhou Zhirou, who is familiar with the history of air combat in the world, knows that this is an unprecedented record.

He calmed down his mood and instructed the staff officers to immediately report the latest results of the Air Force to all the members of the commission and the military committee.

The Air Force has won a big victory and a beautiful battle, and he, the supreme commander of the Air Force, can raise his eyebrows and have a clear face, and in the long run, it will make the Commission and the Military Council attach more importance to the Air Force, and the Air Force will also usher in opportunities for development.

Thinking of Gao Zhihang, a madman, Zhou Zhirou couldn't help but have a headache, he was also embarrassed, how to deal with this guy who had won a big battle, but openly violated military orders and made his own claims, this is a wild and untamable, bold and reckless, extremely difficult to control, with the character of a gambler, but he has won many battles and made a name for himself for the entire Air Force, and has become the pride of the Chinese Air Force.

"Gao Zhihang, you bastard, you just want Lao Tzu's life!" Zhou Zhirou muttered to himself as if he had a toothache, and then walked around the room again, seeing that the staff officer was inexplicable, "Shut down first," Zhou Zhirou really didn't have a proper way to deal with it, he received a notice from the military committee that he would rush to Nanjing to attend the military meeting in a while.

On November 5, 1937, the Japanese Emperor Hirohito and the base camp of Japan, the long-planned Second Songhu Campaign began, in the direction of Songhu, the Japanese army dispatched 310,000 troops, the third and fourth fleets of the navy, from the three main directions of Wusong, Chuansha estuary, and Shishilin on the periphery of Shanghai, from Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, and from Baishakou in Taicang, Jiangsu, to attack the Songhu area in a big way.

After a day of fierce fighting, the Chinese defenders of Songhu, with the Sulu Mobile Corps of the North China Independent Division and Zhang Zhizhong's Shanghai Garrison as the backbone of their defense, suffered heavy losses on all three routes, with more than 50,000 Jinshan Guards losing more than 50,000 soldiers, Taicang losing more than 80,000 soldiers, and more than 40,000 troops on the periphery of Shanghai, losing a total of more than 100,000 soldiers, more than 130 planes shot down, and the aircraft carrier "Izumo" and a destroyer were sunk.

Yanagawa Heisuke, commander of the 10th Army, the main attack force of the Japanese army, was killed by the shelling of the Chinese defenders, and the rest of the Japanese army retreated to the direction of the open sea, while the Chinese troops who participated in the battle also paid huge casualties, with more than 20,000 casualties among the Shanghai garrison troops, more than 9,000 casualties among the Sulu Mobile Corps, and the entire army of the Eighth Army was defeated, with more than 50,000 casualties, 20,000 people missing, and the formation was disabled.

The Second Battle of Songhu launched by the Japanese army ended in a crushing defeat, and at that time, less than seven days had passed since the signing of the Sino-Japanese Armistice Agreement in Nanjing.
