Chapter 59 Missiles Make Another Contribution

There is no suspense about air raids, on one side are troop carriers with almost no air defense combat power, and on the other side are air fortresses armed to the teeth. Not to mention the "Alligator" torpedo machine specially modified for large ships.

As the ace unit in the Japanese Army, the Guards Division is naturally first-class in quality, whether it is an officer or a soldier, and its weapons are also the best among the seventeen standing divisions, but even so what? This time, only five dive bombers and torpedo attack planes were converted from white-sided dolphins, and these eight fighters really needed to dive to a low altitude of about 300 meters when they attacked, but because the fuselage of the white-sided dolphin was even made of aluminum alloy, and many key parts were also equipped with armor, not only could the 38 big covers not be penetrated, but even the bullets of the Type 92 heavy machine gun could not be effective.

The devils of the Guards Division were fierce, and after finding that there was no way to escape, they rushed to the deck in groups, or three or four of them operated a Type 92 heavy machine gun, or hundreds of people raised the 38 big covers in unison, and they used hoarse shouts to vent their fears, hoping to find a ray of life through their own desperate efforts to join the fleet.

All in vain.

The purpose of the "capsizing" operation is to kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent, so the bombs loaded with the Flying Fortress are all general-purpose bombs with huge lethality and a wide blasting area, rather than armor-piercing bombs that seek to sink enemy ships.

Under the dispatch of Xue Changkong and Xia Quanyong, the bomber formation was divided into five small formations and rushed towards their respective target sea areas. Behind them, there are dozens of white-sided dolphins and the eight white-sided dolphins converted into special fighters.

The air fortress is maintained at an altitude of about 2,500 meters, which is already more than the range of most Japanese anti-aircraft weapons, and even if there are anti-aircraft guns that can hit such a high, the power of the shells fired by them is not enough to threaten the heavy armor of the air fortress. Amid the howls of thousands of devils, and the sound of gunfire as rain down on the roof, dozens of air fortresses let you sail, slowly reduce your altitude, and then fly in front of your target ship. The next moment, dense bombs fell, and then, a series of explosions sounded, and many warships were instantly engulfed by the fireworks and explosions of the giant Lang, in the explosion, the cry of the little devil was earth-shattering, and many people were lifted by the explosion of the explosion, exclaiming, dancing, and the body in mid-air was broken into several pieces and fell into the waves.

Muto Akira and Toyoshima have been forcibly dragged into the computer room of the "Jinjiang Maru" by their subordinates. At this time, only the engine room at the bottom of the ship is relatively safe. Because there were only four front-to-back flat-air guns on the "Jinjiang Maru", there was no need for them to take command at all.

In the first round of air raids, the "Jinjiang Maru" was hit by at least two dozen bombs, and the explosions occurred in a row, even though Muto Akira had been transferred to the engine room, they still felt the terrifying power brought by the serial explosions - the explosion was deafening, the hull shook violently, as if it would capsize at any time, and the heart-rending cries of the wounded soldiers made them feel like they were in hell.

When the group of enemy planes began to fly towards the troop convoy, Tsukahara 243 had already issued an order ordering all cruisers and frigates to rush to the vicinity of the "Kinko Maru" to protect the ship. After a few rounds of strafing, the attacking enemy planes abandoned the "Canglong" aircraft carrier and rushed to the sea area where the troop transport fleet was located, which made Tsukahara feel relieved and finally realized Ouyang Yun's sinister intentions. Originally, I thought that they were coming for the "Canglong" aircraft carrier, but now I realized that the Lu Daoist family had a bigger plan, and they actually wanted to defeat the Guards Division before entering Taiwan - the empire regarded Taiwan as a forbidden territory, and the Cadet Army was also bound to win Taiwan.

Seeing that one troop carrier after another was hit by dozens of bombs, the superstructures of many ships were lifted off, and many soldiers were on fire and jumped directly into the sea after burning, Tsukahara gritted his teeth but could not do anything.

The sight of several white-sided dolphins flying towards the mountain parachute sea once made Tsukahara anxious, but when he found out that the Guards Division had suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of enemy planes, he no longer cared about it.

Suddenly, Yamada shouted, "Your Excellency, look! ”

Tsukahara looked up, followed the direction of his finger, and saw the white-sided dolphin that shot down 1003. He gritted his teeth and said, "What new weapon has the Cadet Army invented, this weapon is really evil!" ”

The unnumbered white-sided dolphin piloted by Gao Jian only had two missiles hanging under its wings, in addition to the two machine guns and a 20-millimeter cannon that were always used for air combat. The missile under the right wing had just performed a miraculous feat, ignoring the mountain's amazing flying skills and directly blowing up its plane by chasing it back and forth. When the missiles on the left flank were fired several times, dragging white smoke and flying out, many well-intentioned people turned their eyes to the past and stared at it for a moment.

The missile is not the first new weapon sacrificed by the Xuebing Air Force, as early as Ren Qiu's time, Ouyang Yun once imitated the early style of the Soviet Air Force in that time and space, and installed a rocket under the wing. The rocket pod also shined in the air battle of Renqiu, but it cannot be compared with missiles. Rockets rely on quantity and transportation to kill the enemy, while missiles rely on forward-facing techniques. Comparatively, the reliability of missiles is much higher.

This time, Gao Jian aimed at a troop carrier of about 3,000 tons, and the reason why this troop carrier was able to attract his attention was because more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns were actually installed on its left and right access decks. Seeing that the orange color of this troop carrier is quite new, Gao Jian estimated that this is a newly designed ship of the Little Devil Navy. The ship with a displacement of about 3,000 tons is not too big or small, and the distance between him and it is exactly about five kilometers away is just right for him to test the performance of the missile.

"Oh my God! The bomb that shot down the 'Kaga Eagle' was coming at us," shouted a few seconds later, as the devils on the deck of the ship spotted the missile's trajectory.

"Left full rudder!" The captain of the ship reacted quickly and immediately gave the helmsman the order.

The speed of the ship is the fastest of all troop carriers, reaching about 30 knots per hour, and if it were just an ordinary shell, the ship may have dodged. However, this is a missile. As a result, under the attention of several thousand people on both sides of the enemy, the "bomb," which had been dragging white smoke at first and only a red orange tail flame later, suddenly turned around when it was still about a kilometer away from the ship, and then actually pounced directly on the starboard side.

With a loud "boom", a mushroom cloud rose into the air, and the missile hit a battery on the starboard side, directly lifting the battery and more than a dozen devils in the vicinity. At the same time, the building attached to the fort was also torn open.
