Chapter Ninety-Seven: Bombing
(Thanks to the book friends for the rewards ^_^ of the three armies, Tiancangye, and 090828053456543)
Since this time it was a rough and barbaric and uneducated army job, everyone was not very motivated, and even the ground staff seemed lazy, and the work that could have been completed in a few minutes at the earliest was actually delayed for more than an hour. A certain bored pilot was leaning back to the fuselage in a daze at this time, when suddenly he saw a small black dot that looked like an airplane, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, he thought he was dazzled, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but after a while, small black dots appeared in that direction again, and this time it was twelve
"It turned out to be the broken plane of the army's stupid guys", the pilot named Koji Yamashita was relieved, but he was also a little puzzled, "What are the army's planes doing at sea?" Are they here to pick up their troops, or are they coming to the ground of our navy to show their prestige? ”
"Where is the prestige of the army's aviation? I heard that they were ambushed at the Tianjin airport, and there was no news after landing, which is really a shame for the Imperial Air Force! The squadron leader, who was born in the aristocracy and knew some inside information, said with a smile.
“haha。” , Yamashita Koji laughed a few words, and suddenly his heart tightened, "If those planes are captured by the Shina people, and they fly those planes over"
"Yamashita-kun, are you sick? Why is your face so ugly? Although Japan has a strict hierarchy and the nobility often looks down on the commoners, Yamashita Koji is brave and resourceful, and has always won the love of the squadron leader, and now when he saw that his face was different, he immediately asked with concern.
"There may be something wrong with those planes, maybe the people of Shina drove over", although Yamashita Koji was anxious in his heart, but probably he also felt that this statement was really a bit strange, and his tone was somewhat unresolute, after all, after so many years, the Japanese contempt for the Chinese has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it is difficult to believe for a while that the Chinese can fly Japanese planes to bomb themselves in turn.
"Yamashita-kun, the biggest shortcoming of you smart people is that you are easy to worry about the sky, how many people can fly planes? What's more, even if they can find pilots, they will not dare to do anything to our Imperial Navy! ", the leader of the devil squadron said disapprovingly.
"The devil didn't fire, we succeeded!" , The bombardier said excitedly, Shen Chongzhi was also happy, but he knew that anything would happen before the bomb was dropped, so he immediately did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered, "Aircraft No. 2 and No. 3 will bomb the small (aircraft carrier) with me, and the rest of the planes will bomb the big one, everyone get on!" ”
Seeing that the ten Type 93 heavy bombers suddenly split into two ways and attacked his two aircraft carriers, Yamashita Koji immediately confirmed that his worries were correct, and immediately rushed to the captain's room and shouted, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”
"Where is the enemy?" , The captain of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier angrily walked out of the captain's room and asked, listening to Yamashita Kojii's explanation, he noticed the three Type 93 heavy bombers that were rushing towards the Fengxiang at full speed, and he was just about to reprimand Yamashita Koji and said, "Are you dazzled?" That's our own plane! But to be able to be the captain of the aircraft carrier, there is always a little ability, before the words came out, he understood the problem, immediately ordered the fighter to take off to intercept, the anti-aircraft artillery immediately loaded and ready to shoot, but in order to avoid misunderstanding, he still asked his subordinates to ask the three planes not to approach, if the other side continued to approach, the anti-aircraft guns were allowed to fire. However, even if it is a slow 93-type heavy bombardment, after all, it is also an airplane, once it rushes up at full speed, this distance is simply a little instantaneous, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft has not left the deck, and the No. 1 aircraft piloted by Shen Chongzhi has already rushed to a low altitude of less than 300 meters above the Longxiang aircraft carrier, only to see the fuselage shake, and a black high-explosive bomb weighing a ton fell down and smashed heavily into the flight deck of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier...,
Although the Type 93 heavy bomb is a Japanese bomber with a very low evaluation in history, as a land-based bomber, its bomb load is beyond the reach of the carrier-based bombers of the same era, you must know that in 1939, before the famous "Dreadnought" dive bomber of World War II was put into active service, the carrier-based bombers of various countries, including Japan and the United States, could only carry a 250-kilogram bomb, and the one-ton bombshell smashed on the Fengxiang, a light aircraft carrier of just over 10,000 tons, and the result can be imagined
I saw a dazzling flash of light, accompanied by a deafening explosion, several planes on the flight deck were suddenly overturned, and the aerial bombs that had just been hung were also detonated, and in an instant, the huge hull was already shrouded in monstrous fire, and at this time, the second plane also fell unceremoniously, and dropped a bombshell, accurately hitting the Fengxiang light aircraft carrier whose hull had begun to tilt, and immediately caused a more violent explosion, almost immediately the structure disintegrated and sank into the sea, On the contrary, the bombs on the No. 3 plane were saved
At this time, the Japanese officers and men on the Japanese flagship, the Longxiang light aircraft carrier, were finally awakened, and several anti-aircraft gunners who reacted quickly had already begun to shoot at the air, but the performance of the Japanese Navy's small-caliber anti-aircraft guns was very problematic (Note 1), and the rate of fire of the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns was too slow, making it more difficult to hit the approaching enemy planes, not to mention that at this time, the nine Type 93 heavy bombardments were too close to the Longxiang, and the anti-aircraft guns on this aircraft carrier had just fired a few shots, and black bombshells were whizzing and falling
"Boom!" The first bomb fell right in the middle of the Longxiang, only to hear an earth-shattering loud bang, all the anti-aircraft guns on the Longxiang stopped firing, and there was a dead silence on the huge aircraft carrier. However, two or three seconds later, another bombshell fell to almost the same position, only to see that after a burst of gunsmoke, the huge hull of the aircraft carrier Longxiang made an earth-shattering noise and then broke into two and sank to the bottom of the sea, followed by 752 people from the commander of the fleet and below
Note 1: The similar products developed by the army are quite excellent, but because of the huge contradictions between the Japanese navy and the army, the top brass of the Japanese navy in history resolutely did not use the weapons and equipment developed and produced by the army for the sake of face, and as a result, they suffered a lot in the Pacific War, and the air defense basically relied on aircraft, and after losing a large number of excellent pilots in the Battle of Midway, the Japanese warships were blown up and sunk by American planes one after another, and many ships did not even shoot down a single American plane before sinking. The difference in the performance of the anti-aircraft guns equipped by the Japanese Navy can be seen, but until the day of defeat and surrender, the Japanese Navy still did not bow to the army and ask for help. So, the Japanese are far from being as united as we think
