Chapter 459: It's all a rookie
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Y Little Pig 40", and continue to ask for recommendation votes =. =
Of course, these devils are not stupid, at least they know how to let the fighters go up together to attract the anti-aircraft fire of the enemy ships, but Ye Fei couldn't help but smile when he saw their battle formation, "Such a plane dares to attack us, I thought it was so powerful, but I didn't expect it to be just some rookies." ”
The term "rookie" was naturally learned from Hu Weidong, but Ye Fei's basis for making such a judgment was very simple: the enemy planes were still far away from his own ship and had not even entered the firing range of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Ye Fei couldn't help but wonder why these Japanese pilots did not adopt the new tactics that they had generally succeeded in the Northeast and North China battlefields, and the conclusion was that either they despised themselves too much, or they did not have the ability to implement the new tactics, no matter what the reason, it was that most of the incoming enemies were rookies who had just entered the battlefield, and who would they bully if they were not bullied?
Dozens of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns invariably let out a deafening roar, and countless anti-aircraft shells equipped with the latest transistor proximity fuses were fired into the Japanese aircraft group in the distance and exploded violently, and the raging metal storm directly knocked the neighboring Japanese planes into a sieve, and unlike the previous battles, the Japanese planes have now been generally installed with advanced airborne radios provided by the Americans. This allowed the devil's pilots to leave Zuihou's last words
"My plane is out of control, completely out of control. Yes! A Type 96 carrier-based fighter that had been hit by shrenching shrapnel crashed to the sea with the frightened screams of the pilot, and due to the huge kinetic energy generated by the fall, the sea surface became almost harder than cement, and the plane and its controller fell directly to pieces
"I can't do it anymore, I hope you will continue to fight, long live the Emperor!" , naturally, there are fanatical militarists who do not regret until death, but then again, everyone is dead. Does he regret it or not?
And the sane people began to arrange the aftermath. "If you can survive, Wanwang tells Apricot that she is still young, find a good man to marry. But please make sure she raises Taro well! ”
Walk through the dense barrage of barrages created by the explosion of countless large-caliber anti-aircraft guns fired by enemy ships in the air. Of the more than two dozen aircraft involved in the attack and cover, less than half survived. Although the captain of the Kaohsiung Air Force was lucky not to die, he also knew that the operation was a certain failure, and he wanted to go back to accept the verdict of the military court. It's better to fight to the death, whether you succeed or not, you can fight for a little more pension for your family. But out of the desire to cherish talents for the country, he still ordered the only young but talented fighter ace in the team to say, "Sakai, you are still alive, evacuate immediately with the fighters, there is no more business for you below!" ”
“weishenme? We didn't even touch the side of the enemy ship, and just ran away? ", replied in a stiff tone in a young voice.
"The responsibility for the failure of this operation lies with me, you are all the future trump cards of the Imperial HNA, don't give your life for nothing." At this time, the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the two enemy ships roared again, and suddenly several Japanese planes were shot down and damaged, and at the same time he was horrified by the terrifying rate of fire of the enemy's large-caliber anti-aircraft guns that was a salvo in almost two or three seconds, the captain couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, and shouted regardless of his identity, "Sakai run!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the two heavy cruisers that had been newly installed shortly before the departure of the many 57mm medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns also opened fire one after another because the enemy planes entered the firing range, and the rod warheads of the shells they used also showed strong lethality for the first time, as long as the planes of the devils were not directly hit by the anti-aircraft shells, there were still whole corpses before the crash, and now the planes destroyed by rod shrapnel often disintegrated directly in the air, which gave Saburo Sakai and other remnants of the Japanese pilots a great shock, and finally stopped disobeying orders and immediately fled. But where could they escape so easily if they were still within range of the anti-aircraft guns of the task force formation? In the end, except for the three fighters, because of their small size and relatively small probability of being hit by shrapnel, they avoided the doom of being shot down and successfully escaped (the reconnaissance plane and the remaining planes were also spared, but the Kaohsiung Air Force was still shot down more than 20 planes, and all the pilots on board were killed, which can be described as a serious injury). The rest of the planes, especially the bombers, were all shot down, and the pilots of the devils did not even have a chance to experience the horror of the two heavy-duty rapid-fire guns on board, and as for the delusion of the captain of the Kaohsiung Air Force, who had died with the enemy, he was also smashed in the air like himself and the plane
However, it is worth mentioning that Saburo Sakai, the super ace of the Japanese Navy in history, although he did not make any achievements in this battle, he still relied on his superb flying jishu and his innate strong sense of crisis (otherwise this guy in history would not have survived the war) to get out of the big disaster, and the landline was injured and the lightest of the several planes that were lucky to fly back, and his trump card road was also opened, in response to the old saying "failure is the mother of success"
It must be noted that because the center of gravity is now in the north, all of Taiwan's Japanese fighters add up to only 300 planes, and the fighters responsible for air defense are the mainstay, and the total number of bombers is less than 100.
As a result, when the Japanese air force in Taiwan was all ready, the task force had successfully used the cover of night to get rid of the tracking of the Japanese reconnaissance planes, and when the Japanese army in Taiwan spent several days locking on the target again, the task force had already increased the results of breaking the diplomatic relationship to 250,000 tons, nearly half of which were tankers of great significance to the Japanese Navy
At this point, the Japanese Navy's command could no longer sit still, and on the one hand, they urgently dispatched no less than 150 (Note 1) bombers from the mainland and Okinawa to Taiwan to assist in the war, and on the other hand, they had to prepare to form a fleet strong enough to deal with this threat
Note 1: The strength of the Japanese Navy in World War II is mainly due to the high quality of the pilots and the better performance of the HNA aircraft compared to the Army Airlines (due to the influence of the butterfly effect in the book, the Type 1 fighter of the Army Airlines has been put into service in advance, while the Type Zero has not yet been finalized and produced, so the performance of the aircraft of the HNA is not as good as that of the Army Airlines for the time being. In terms of numbers, it was inferior to the army aviation until the Pacific War turned to defense, not to mention that now the Japanese army's operational focus is concentrated in the northeast and South Manchurian regions, and it is really not possible to draw too many planes in a short period of time.
