Chapter 833: A bloody battle all the way
With more than a day to go, the fleet was about to pass through the Korean Strait, and Akiizumi's fears became a reality, and the fleet was discovered by the Japanese navy's planes taking off from the Kyoto base, and a fierce battle was inevitable. )
The Japanese naval air force Zhongxin Daisa, commanding thirty-six fighters, swooped towards the fleet, looking at the enemy planes hovering over the fleet, there was no intention of coming over to intercept, Zhongxin Daisa almost laughed off his big teeth, that naval aviation is like this?
Instead of carrying out interception operations on the periphery of the fleet's vigilance, they are like the old mother Jī protecting the little Jī, waiting to be beaten, the Soviets are not as powerful as the legend, they look like a bunch of rookies, plus a few stupid commanders, there will be such passive tactics, and I should CITIC win the jackpot for today's meritorious service.
Liu Cuigang, who was hovering at high altitude, looked at the twelve Japanese anti-submarine patrol planes and pounced directly on the fleet, and the other thirty-six "Zero" fighters pounced on the escort formation.
"Detachment Commander Tang, please note that the 12 anti-submarine patrol planes of the Japanese army are about to arrive over the fleet, please organize fire interception, and the 36 fighters have returned to the escort formation," Liu Cuigang briefly reported the situation, and at the same time, he also put forward a combat plan.
Xiuyan Zhenzhao Shaozuo's squadron led by the first to appear near the fleet, and he, like Zhongxin Dazuo, thought the same as Zhongxin Dazuo, and came up with childish and ridiculous tactics to deal with the air attack in order to escape the fleet, and rushed to the incredible, and then, six fighters of Xiuyan's squadron, on the side of the nose, outflanked the left flank.
The eyes of all the Japanese pilots were nailed to the increasingly clear figure of the warship, because of the upcoming battle, and Jī's body trembled slightly, this group of rookie-like Soviet pilots was just right for the appetite of the great Japanese air warriors, and bullying the soft and fearing the hard was the xìng style and style of the Japanese.
Liu Cuigang gave a simple order: "Two to one, end the battle within fifteen minutes, clear the airspace for the next escort formation, attack" more than 60 fighters, swoop down from a high altitude, this escort formation, flying Soviet-style fighters, although slightly inferior to the Japanese "Zero" fighters, can accelerate and firepower and protection, absolutely surpassing the Japanese fighters.
The 18.8 mm machine guns equipped with fighter planes can blow up small zero birds in the air with just one shell, while the 7.8 mm machine guns equipped with Japanese fighters can only leave a few holes in the rough skin of the Soviet-style fighters, and do not want to shoot down the Soviet-style fighters without firing a dozen bullets.
The first thing Liu Cuigang found was CITIC Dazuo who rushed to the front, this guy's unique livery on the plane, and his identity as the commander of the formation, Liu Cuigang's fighter plane, almost at a vertical angle, pressed down on the head, and the fighter plane that fell at high speed collided with the airflow, and the fuselage trembled slightly.
CITIC's fighter jet is getting clearer and clearer in the scope, Liu Cuigang pressed his thumb on the hair button, and a chain of fire came out of the nose of the plane, jumping fiercely towards CITIC's landline, a black smoke ball, with broken metal fragments, burst in the air, and the commander of the Japanese naval air force, Zhongxin Daisa, was blown up by Liu Cuigang's volley without even having a chance to parachute.
The air group of the independent division, with two to one, surrounded the Japanese fighter group, rushed up and slammed it, flew up and down, almost biting the bullets, in the sky, from time to time burst a smoke huā, ten minutes, only ten minutes, thirty-six Japanese fighters, the whole army was annihilated, Liu Cuigang escorted the fighter formation, with three wounded and none of them were shot down, and the air battle ended with a sharp end.
The remaining twelve Japanese Navy anti-submarine patrol planes, taking advantage of the opportunity of fighter fighting, have already approached the fleet, just as Liu Cuigang thought, these planes that are specially used to deal with submarines really don't know how to deal with these behemoths on the surface, circling around aircraft carriers and other ships, and have not yet figured out what to do.
The silent ship suddenly became furious, the high shè machine guns on the warship, spewing out a stream of metal, weaving a dense net of fire in the sky, to say that the warships of the Soviets, the anti-aircraft fire is not bragging, the quadruple high shè machine guns, the bullets fired out, is a fan with a huge killing radius.
The Japanese Navy's anti-submarine patrol planes were immediately caught in a net of fire, and eight of them were blown up on the spot, while the remaining four hurriedly threw away the depth charges on the planes and fled.
It may be that the Japanese pilot was in a panic and did not set the depth of the explosion, or did not turn on the explosive device at all, this guy was on the deck of the battleship for a while, and happened to reach the feet of Chu Tian, who was holding a quadruple high shè machine gun and was fighting vigorously, feeling that his heel was slammed.
Looking back, good guy, such a stupid big black guy, swaying as the warship sailed, Chu Tian had never seen such a depth charge, but by feeling, he knew that this was not a good thing, and the surrounding Soviet sailors were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they immediately fell down with a brush, and shouted wildly, all of which could be spoken in Russian, where could Chu Tian understand.
It was still the interpreter of the rebel group, and he shouted quietly in a changing voice, reminding Chu Tian, "Captain Chu, that's a bomb, lie down quickly" Chu Tian reacted, such a big guy, if it exploded on a warship, he didn't know how much damage it would cause, he almost didn't think about it, it was like rolling a gasoline barrel, and he pushed this big guy into the sea in a few strokes.
There was a burst of water on the surface of the sea, for a long time, there was no movement, the Soviet sailors lying on the deck, got up with palpitations, looked at Chu Tian with a calm face like a monster, their eyes were full of awe and admiration, they saw for the first time that at this moment, Chu Tian became a hero in their hearts.
Chu Tian didn't have time to look at the strange eyes of the Soviet sailors, turned around to look for the little devil's plane, where was there a shadow of the plane in the sky, it had long been broken to pieces by the Gao shè machine guns on other warships, and went to the sea to see the dragon lord, Chu Tian scolded in annoyance, and put down the Gao shè machine gun very unhappily.
The first battle encountered by the fleet ended unscathed, Liu Cuigang escorted the fighter formation, it was already time to stay in the air, and after seeing the shadow of the next escort fighter, he piloted the fighter plane, circled around the fleet, and shook his wings a few times towards the autumn spring on the deck of the aircraft carrier, and drove the fighter plane away with the formation.
When he passed by the group of escort planes that rushed over, he saw Le Yiqin's fighter plane at a glance, "This guy, unwilling to be lonely, just flew back to refuel, and came again, why is he not like this, he flew two combat duty in a row," Liu Cuigang thought with a smile.
On his way back to the Jinan airport, he received a report from the Shidao radar station in the Huanghai Sea from the command post of the Jinan airport: "Twenty minutes ago, Japanese planes took off from the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese mainland, with a total of more than 320 planes, divided into two directions in the north and south, and attacked our fleet. ”
Liu Cuigang's heart tightened, he knew that there were only one hundred and fourteen fighters in the echelon of Le Yiqin, and in the face of more than three hundred and twenty little devils' planes, it must be a bitter battle. ”
This is his only thought at the moment, the other pilots behind him, seeing the deputy commander's fighter, rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, although they didn't know what was happening, they were not to be left behind, and raised the speed to the highest, and the group of planes flew in the direction of Jinan Airport like an arrow.
On the way to the fleet, Le Yiqin received information from the command post of Jinan Airport, and according to the time calculation, his escort fighter formation could reach the sky above the fleet in front of the Japanese aircraft group.
Immediately, he called for sea and air contact with the fleet: "Captain Tang, according to the report of the radar station, the Japanese planes have taken off from the north and south, and it is estimated that more than 320 of them will arrive at the fleet's warning range in 30 minutes, and our escort fighter formation will arrive over the fleet in 20 minutes." ”
Tang Qiuquan, who received Le Yiqin's report, immediately told Colonel Margotrovsky, the captain of the aircraft carrier who commanded the fleet, the colonel's eyes flashed, muttering a Russian word, and the interpreter hurriedly told Qiuquan that what he said was "fight resolutely", Qiuquan was amused by him, because the pressure of the Japanese army's large aircraft group was also greatly reduced, and he told the captain, "We fight side by side." ”
Not only Colonel Margotlovsky, but almost all the Soviet sailors were shocked by the air battle just now, although the Chinese pilots were in a numerical advantage, but in terms of tactical arrangements, pilots' flight skills, and courage in the course of air combat, these Soviet soldiers felt incredible.
In particular, those who were colleagues, carrier-based pilots, were even more shocked, and they asked themselves what was the chance of victory if they were to fight with the Chinese pilots, and did their commanders have such superb tactics? Is there a brave battle jīng god and will of these Chinese pilots?
At the same time, their will to fight was also aroused, and several commanders of carrier-based aircraft got together to discuss, and asked Qiuquan to participate in the battle, Qiuquan looked at Margotrovsky with an inquiring gaze, and the colonel thought nervously for a while, and nodded affirmatively.
On the deck of the aircraft carrier, it was suddenly busy, and one after another carrier-based planes rushed into the sky, and more than 20 minutes later, the Japanese Navy's combat aircraft group appeared in the telescopic lens of Autumn Springs in black and pressed.
