Chapter 55 Target Canglong
The exact time is 7:53 a.m., and the location is about 60 kilometers northeast of the Diaoyu Islands.
A frigate with a displacement of about two thousand tons that was in charge of opening the way spotted a phantom in the sky - "Your Excellency Kawamura, Your Excellency Kawamura!" Lookout Yamada shouted loudly, standing on the deck an artillery ensign.
"Yamada, what did you find?"
Yamada's voice trembled a little, the Japanese Navy suffered too much from the student army and air force, and even many devils had a phobia, once they found a group of fighters, they subconsciously thought that this was an air attack on themselves, and he hissed and shouted: "There! Fighters, a lot of fighters! ”
"What?" Second Lieutenant Kawamura also panicked. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Yamada's finger, first he saw nothing, then he saw a black dot, then several black dots, and then a silver dot of light, and his breathing became heavier unconsciously, he turned to the captain's room and shouted: "Your Excellency Riverside, enemy plane, enemy plane!" Air raid! ”
The captain of the ship, Taro Kawabe, had already heard Yamada's shout, and at this time, he was holding a telescope and looking at the northwest sky, and the next moment, without hesitation, he ordered: "Sound the air defense alarm!" Signal men, quick, warn the fleet! ”
Tsukahara 243 received a report from Yamada Yamada, the commander of the "Soryu" aircraft carrier, who said that he was doing war games with several of his subordinates when he discovered that a large number of enemy planes were rapidly approaching the fleet. Wargame deduction was invented by Koizumi Tonichiro, and Tsukahara became addicted to it immediately after he came into contact with it, and he never tired of it. It can be regarded as a great irony, at this moment, he and several of his subordinates are doing a war game deduction project, that is, he led the combined fleet to attack Fujian, and then started a big battle with the Cadet Army Air Force over the Taiwan Strait, at this time, the United Fleet Air Corps led by him is defeating the Cadet Army Air Force - defeating the Cadet Army Air Force has become Tsukahara's long-cherished wish, so even if it is just a victory in the deduction, he is also grinning happily. Okay! Joy and sorrow, Yamada's words were finished, he threw away the chess pieces in his hand and stood up, shouting, "Really? Then he ran away.
When he went up to the top of the bridge and looked in the direction of Fujian, he saw a flash of silver light, he was angry and shouted at Yamada: "Then why are you still standing, hurry up and fight!" "The silver light is dense, I don't know how many fighters there are in the road, Rao is Tsukahara is very conceited, and he also knows that the big thing in the road is not good. After roaring Yamada, he rushed off the bridge, stood at the end of the flight deck, and shouted Yamabegawa three keys in a loud voice.
Yamabegawa Sanjian was specially asked by Tsukahara to come to Yamamoto, just to prevent this scene from happening. When Yamabe heard the air raid siren, he immediately began to dress, and when Tsukahara shouted a few times, he appeared in front of him in full clothes. Yamanbe's face was calm, and he shouted respectfully, "Your Excellency! You call me? ”
Tsukahara pointed to the increasingly conspicuous silver light and said, "See, the Shina people have seized the opportunity again." Eight grids, I really can't figure it out, this Ouyang Yun, can he know the legendary deduction technique? ”
Yamabe: "Your Excellency! Please stop being angry. It's not a big deal, I'm sure that at least half of the incoming enemy aircraft are bombers. Hehe, if all our fighters were to keep an eye on the bombers, this would not be our chance. ”
"Yamabe, do you have confidence?"
"Yes! Your Excellency, please rest assured, this time, we will definitely teach the people of China a painful lesson. Hehe, this time, we're all Type 99 and Falcon, although it's still not as good as the White-sided Dolphin, but it's enough to deal with the Flying Fortress. Unless they abandon the operation! ”
"Good! Go and fight, I'll be here to cheer you on! ”
When Tsukahara and Yamabe were full of confidence to deliver a heavy blow to the Xuebing Army, Xue Changkong had already given the order to attack: "The target 'Canglong', start!" Xue Changkong selected the first target of the air attack as the "Canglong" aircraft carrier, precisely in order to stifle the air force of its reinforcement fleet before it took off.
In view of the fact that more than a dozen fighters have been flown on the "Canglong". The first formation, led by Wang Hai, pounced first. "Xiu Minghai, you are responsible for intercepting enemy planes, and the others will strafe and bomb the deck with me," Wang Hai shouted on the public channel.
Xiu Minghai was a group leader of the 1st Air Division, and he led 12 white-sided dolphins to meet more than a dozen enemy planes, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle in the airspace about five kilometers away from the "Canglong" aircraft carrier.
We have to admit the quality of the Japanese air force, and the time between sounding the air defense siren and the enemy planes flying over the aircraft carrier did not exceed 10 minutes, but 14 fighters had already completed their flights.
Of the fourteen fighters, nine are Hayabusa, and the others are all Type 99.
Yamabe was piloting a Type 99, he flew in the first echelon, and when he saw that the front formation of the attacking aircraft group was suddenly divided into two, he immediately judged its intention, and then made a gesture, ordering several fighters behind him to disperse to the left and right to prevent enemy planes from attacking the aircraft carrier from both sides. Then, he pulled the nose of the plane and headed towards the white-sided dolphin flying in front.
It was Xiu Minghai who drove this white-sided dolphin. Among the white-sided dolphin pilots, Xiu Minghai belongs to the part that has the longest flight time. Seeing an enemy plane rushing towards it with great momentum, he did not panic at all, and while pulling the nose of the plane slightly to maintain the suppression altitude, his eyes stared at the enemy plane for a moment, waiting for it to enter the firing range.
Opposite him, Yamanbe sneered: "This person has two hits," Then, he suddenly pressed the lever to the left, and his landline turned into a sideways flight, and in the violent roar of the fighter engine suddenly accelerated because of the speed, he crossed a beautiful arc and rushed towards a white-sided dolphin on the right side of Xiuming Road.
The cadet who piloted the white-sided dolphin was calm in the face of the mountain's provocation, he pressed the nose of the plane, accelerated to meet it, and pressed the fire button when he entered the firing range. Then, with a pull of the pusher, the fighter is pulled high.
As soon as the fire appeared under the nose of the white-sided dolphin on the opposite side, Yamanbe pressed the actuator to the ground completely, and his plane avoided the string of shells after several consecutive rolls.
Several more enemy planes rose into the air, and at the same time, Wang Hai had broken through the blockade of a Falcon fighter and appeared in the upper right of the aircraft carrier. As soon as he pressed the nose of the plane, he avoided the strafing of a Type 99 fighter plane, and at the same time, he pressed the fire button, and in an instant, a Falcon that had just risen from the deck was hit continuously, and thick smoke immediately came out of the fuselage, and after a second, it exploded with a "boom" and turned into a ball of fire.
The "booming" cannon sounded, and several frigates and anti-aircraft guns on the cruiser around the "Canglong" aircraft carrier opened fire one after another, and one cloud of smoke exploded in front of the other white-sided dolphins in Wang Hai's department, and one white-sided dolphin failed to pull up in time, and the left flank was blown off by a bullet, and then dragged the smoke and rolled headlong into the sea -- the battle did not take about an hour, and the two belligerents each lost one fighter, and the first to achieve the result in the reinforcement fleet was actually a frigate of only about 3,000 tons.
The "overturning" operation did not start well.
