Chapter 1772: The Air Battle in Liaodong Bay (I)

"Report to the air point, our echelon has found the traces of the Japanese fleet, in the sea area about 200 kilometers south of Huludao, the Japanese fleet is fleeing in the direction of Lushun at full speed, please instruct, whether to start the attack immediately!" The air commander of the first echelon of the mixed fleet of the Northern Flight Group reported.

Jinzhou, the air command of the Northern Flight Group of the Air Force, Liu Cuigang was draped all over his body, and ordered: "You can attack, pay attention to the rhythm of the battlefield, the main task of your echelon is not to sink the Japanese warship immediately, but to draw out the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army, pay attention to the air radar search!" ”

Putting down the intercom, Liu Cuigang ordered the communications staff officer again: "Order the ground radar stations along the coast line to make every effort to capture the movements of the Japanese fighter group!" Then, he ran out of the command post and ran towards his own fighter plane parked on the runway.

On the sea surface of Liaodong Bay, Yamada Osa looked in horror at the independent division aircraft group that rushed up under black pressure, according to the order he had just given, all the anti-aircraft artillery fire of the Japanese fleet began to shoot, but the sparse anti-aircraft fire could not form a tight anti-aircraft fire network at all, and in addition, the Japanese warships were in a state of full-speed retreat, and from the sky, the Japanese warships were basically in a state of independent counterattack.

Colonel Lin Zhixian, the air commander of the first echelon of the Northern Flying Group and the commander of the first fighter regiment, muttered dissatisfiedly: "The commander is really troublesome, just a dozen warships of little devils, and they still have to fight, it's not happy!" "Complaining is complaining, he doesn't dare to disobey Liu Cuigang's order.

Standing up his own fighters, circling in the sky above the Japanese fleet, looking at the scattered and unthreatening anti-aircraft artillery fire on the sea, similar to the fireworks released, Lin Zhixian ordered: "The bombers are the first to attack and start attacking." Catch a few little devil warships that are left behind, and beat these bastards hard, brothers, a reminder, don't get addicted, kill all the little devil warships in one go, the commander blames it, none of us can escape! ”

In the earphones, there was a whining sound, and Lin Zhixian thought with a wry smile: "Think I'm willing to fight like this?" Who doesn't want to let go of their hands and feet! ”

1st Bomber Regiment. As the first attack wave, it took the lead in attacking the six Japanese warships that were lagging behind, several bombers besieged one target, and several fighters deftly shuttled through the weak anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese warships. Strings of bullets rained down on the Japanese warships. The Japanese sailors were knocked on their backs. Hit the deck of the warship, and sparks jumped.

The bombers entered the bombing channel, and one after another, heavy aerial bombs, with a scream, fell from the sky, under the stunned gaze of the Japanese sailors. Gradually getting bigger, "Boom boom! "A deafening explosion sounded, and smoke and flames rose from the Japanese warship. The shrapnel that exploded scattered in all directions, cutting the bodies of the Japanese sailors, thick smoke billowed and flames flashed, and the Japanese warship was like a huge smoke canister, and tongues of fire were bubbling everywhere on the hull!

Although the combat missions of Liu Cuigang's bomber unit of the Northern Flying Group were not as frequent as those of Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group, the results of the training in peacetime were undoubtedly displayed in actual combat, and none of the bombs deviated from the target, and the hit rate reached 100 percent!

After the first attack wave finished dropping bombs, it was immediately pulled up, and the bomber group of the second attack wave immediately began to bomb, and on the sea, there was another explosion scene of smoke and fire, and after two rounds of attacks, dozens of heavy aerial bombs were dropped, and six Japanese warships, with fire and smoke, and the Japanese officers and sailors who had no time to jump into the sea to escape, soon sank into the waves of Liaodong Bay, and on the sea, there were only a few broken Yellow Dragon Flags, floating helplessly.

Yamada Shingonori Daisa, trembling all over, sat down on the chair, the battle process just now, he saw with his own eyes, the entire six warships of the Great Japanese Empire, together with the imperial samurai on the warships, after a while, disappeared, the sad thing is that the loss of six warships, even a single plane of the Chinese people, did not land, the death of the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, did not exchange for any casualties of the enemy.

This is Yamada Dazuo's most fearful and sad place, only in the face of battle, he really knows that he thinks, can be rampant in the Liaodong Bay fleet, in the face of the large number of people in China, how fragile and vulnerable, the first round of attacks on the group of people, the fleet lost more than one-third of its strength, Yamada Dazuo does not think that with his warships, can escape back to the Port of Arthur safely.

As for why the commander of the Shina would come up with such a big deal in order to deal with the so-called fleet with only fifteen warships, more than 200 fighters and bombers, Yamada Osa is quite self-aware, and his own weight is not enough, it should be that for a long time, what happened to the Shina fishermen in Liaodong Bay aroused the revenge of the commander of the Shina army.

Yamada Osa regretted that he almost jumped into the sea, commanded the fleet himself, shelled the Shina fishing boat, and shot the Shina fishermen, why didn't he think that behind the Shina fishermen, there was such a behemoth, and it was useless to regret it.

"Damn, that guy Qiujin, why haven't you called back, if he drags for a while, he will go to the bottom of Liaodong Bay to feed fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs, in the end, he can't even find a corpse, and his soul can't return to his homeland, so he can only be a lonely ghost in a foreign land.

"Quick, send another telegram to Commander Akitsu stating the danger that our fleet is currently encountering!" Yamada yelled.

The communications staff officer timidly replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, in accordance with your order, within thirty minutes, we have sent eight telegrams to Major General Akitsu, commander of the Third Air Force, asking for tactical guidance!" ”

Yamada Daisa's eyes widened, and then he shouted, "Did Commander Akitsu call back?" ”

The communications staff officer replied very honestly: "So far, we have not received a call back!" ”

Yamada was furious, and gave the unlucky communications staff officer a big mouth, and scolded viciously: "Yaga! Pig! Since you haven't received a call back, continue to send reports, do you still need me to remind you? Sue that guy Akitsu, if he doesn't save him when he dies, I will report the truth to Commander-in-Chief Minamijiro before the Imperial Jade is shattered! ”

In just a few moments, three more Japanese warships sank to the bottom of the sea in a burst of fire and smoke, and Yamada Daisa's fleet began to attack the first mixed aircraft group of the Northern Flying Group, and in less than an hour, more than half of its combat effectiveness was lost.

In other words, all the bombers to be bombed are warships of the Japanese Navy of more than 10,000 tons, and now they are used to deal with old Japanese warships of only a few thousand tons, which are tantamount to killing chickens with knives, and two or three heavy aerial bombs are enough to send Japanese warships to the bottom of the sea.

At present, there are five or six heavy aerial bombs that have fallen on the Japanese warships and have not been blown to pieces on the spot, and it is already Asunasu who is blessing these Japanese warships, and moreover, the bomber unit, for the purpose of actual combat training, consciously makes each bomber take turns to go into battle, and after the heavy damage, they use small-power bombs, so that the death pain of the Japanese officers and sailors on the warship is infinitely stretched.

Colonel Lin Zhixian piloted the fighter plane, and had flown over the "True Dragon" many times, and on the mast, the flag of the fleet commander hung on it, so that he could catch it at a glance, this was the flagship of the Japanese fleet, if it were not for the need to lure out the little devil's land-based aviation, Lin Zhixian would definitely have recruited a few bombers and bombs to send this little devil's flagship to the bottom of the sea.

The commander of the commander of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army, Major General Qiujin, looked at the several telegrams in his hand with a gloomy face, all of which were sent by the so-called commander of the Bohai Sea Patrol Fleet of Manchukuo, Yamada.

Rear Admiral Akitsu was hesitant about whether or not to dispatch fighter planes to rescue Yamada's fleet, and he had been stationed on the Liaodong Peninsula for several years, but he knew very well that the strength of the Third Air Force's opponent, the Independent Division's Northern Flying Group, was a formidable air force in the western Liaoning region and even in the entire Liaodong Bay, including the Liaodong Peninsula.

Fortunately, in the past few years, except for sporadic conflicts, no large-scale air battles have broken out, and the Third Air Force has given priority to avoidance, and Major General Akitsu can interpret it as forbearance.

Major General Akitsu comforted himself that he was not alone in adopting such an attitude toward the troops of the Independent Division currently in the northeastern Liaoxi area, and that the entire Kwantung Army was tolerant of the troops of the Independent Division in every possible way; not long ago, the Army lost several key points in a row and was forced to retreat about 30 kilometers along the entire line, and there was no retaliatory move from the Supreme Command.

If it were possible, Major General Qiujin would never want to have any kind of conflict with Liu Cuigang, the fierce tiger in the air across Liaodong Bay, and in the end, it would be himself who would suffer, and Liu Cuigang's fighter group alone would be able to drown the Third Air Force.

However, not now, the guy Yamada, who was making trouble everywhere in Liaodong Bay with a few broken warships, has already forced himself into a corner where he can't turn around, especially the telegram at the end, which is full of threats.

If he really doesn't make a move, Yamada's fleet will definitely end up being scrap iron on the bottom of Liaodong Bay, and if he goes to the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, his responsibility will not be small, Rear Admiral Akitsu sighed and shouted: "Come on!" ”
