Chapter Seventy-Five: Operation Thorn Cloud (Part II)
It was the first time Chen Yuanyang had experienced such a surprise attack. The reaction was a little slower, if he hadn't been reminded by Ouyang Yun, but had ordered to cut off the main power supply of the base and light up the camouflage of Pier 3 when he rushed out of the city for the first time, then it would have been impossible for them to see the slightest flaw.
When he ordered to cut off the main power supply of the base, several fighters in front of Asakura Ying and others had already seen the brilliant panoramic view of the base from a distance.
As a naval base, Dongshan Island will soon build a large radar station, so there are certain requirements for power security. It is precisely because of this assumption that Dongshan Island has complete power facilities. This gave Asakura Eagle a chance to take advantage of, but what made him feel strange was that he only blinked his eyes, and Dongshan Island, which was still as bright as stars just now, suddenly went dark. Then, somewhere it became brightly lit. "Strange, what's going on, could it be that the people of China have already discovered us, and this is preparing for an air defense war?" Thinking like this, Asakura didn't suspect that this light was actually just a decoy for the time being.
Once the rice soaked in gasoline burns, it is difficult to extinguish, Guo Hai and Chen Yuanyang did not order to extinguish it in the first place, and now there is no chance to extinguish it. The blazing flames pointed the way forward for the Cangying, and the forty-eight fighters were divided into four formations and roared over, and all the patrolmen hid according to the order, not daring to reveal their whereabouts easily.
Guo Hai was put into the Japanese spy because of his soft heart, and he was so remorseful in his heart at this time that he was going to die. He and dozens of soldiers lay behind a huge rock about thirty meters away from the campfire, listened to the neighing of fighter engines with bated breath, clasped their hands, and silently prayed in their hearts: I hope that the Japanese do not know that the commander-in-chief of Ludao is here, and hope that they just want to destroy the Dongshan base.
If Chen Yuanyang could hear his prayers, it must have been another boss who came up with an ear scraper.
While the bonfire gave the day a direction, it also caused them doubts. The place where the bonfire was lit was a little far from Pier 3, and in between, looking down from the night sky of seven or eight hundred meters, it was impossible to find the houses and other man-made structures. Asakura Eagle was confused again, he lowered the nose of the plane and swept low over the campfire, and did not see the person who answered, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart: Was the answering agent discovered by the Shina people? Or was this bonfire not lit by them at all? He subconsciously felt that something must be wrong on the ground, and maybe it was right to bomb around the campfire. However, he also couldn't ignore the brilliant lights not far away. What he never imagined was that the ultimate goal of the "Thorn Cloud" operation was actually close at hand at this time. "If they don't make it to the base, then it's normal for these two campfires to exist here," he said, finally finding a suitable reason for himself, and immediately decided to faithfully carry out the battle intentions of the commander of the carpenters. It was rare for the magong to give him an order in a stern tone, so he was deeply impressed by his last few words—the commander of the magong emphasized that one or two bombs must be thrown where there is light, so the reverse means that bombs must not be thrown where there is no light? Instead of bombing, put the obvious target and drop the bomb into the darkness? Asakura Eagle didn't have the courage - he didn't know that Ouyang Yun was on the island at this time, otherwise it would definitely be even more difficult to choose. He scolded hatefully: "Cunning Shina man! "The last one pressed the nose of the plane, and took the lead in swooping towards the brilliant lights.
At this time, the Japanese fighters were not equipped with a radio communication system, and the fighters could only communicate with each other through sign language and flag language. It is impossible to see sign language clearly at night, so the command of a large formation can only rely on the command plane to give correct guidance. As soon as Asakura began to dive, the other fighters immediately followed suit. After the fighters and fighter squadrons of the four formations obediently dispersed around, the three bomber formations began to disperse their formations and prepare for the dive and bomb dropping. At this moment, the sound of gunfire rang out on the ground, and it soon became dense - the defenders' anti-aircraft fire began to counterattack.
The sound of gunfire was so dense that Asakura Eagle couldn't help but secretly hold his heart in his hand. The air defense level of the people of China is really not good, and the air defense at night is not even equipped with strong lights, which makes Asakura Ying can't help but bare his teeth and taunt: Stupid people of China. If you don't have a strong light, you always have to have some tracer bullets, right? However, two minutes passed, and Asakura Eagle did not find a trace of a tracer bullet, which made him a little relieved.
On the ground, the tongues of fire spewed out by anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were very dazzling, and the stars made people can't help but worry that the seat would be very unlucky to break into the rain of bullets. "This should be the main base of the Zhi Na people, otherwise there would not be such a strong anti-aircraft firepower!" Asakura thought secretly, and the little uneasiness before was gradually disappearing. He began to wonder if he had been dazzled before—or was it just a hallucination? With so many lights, what a vast area it is, and with the technological level of the people of China, can they completely turn the entire Dongshan Island into a city that never sleeps? Asakura expressed serious suspicions. The area under him is about three square kilometers, which is right, with the ability of the people of China, it is still possible to build such a limited area into a central location. Well, let's blow it up first.
Asakura Taka took the lead in pouring a few shells into the ground with a cannon, which was the most direct bombing order. Immediately, a squadron of bombers roared and dived, and hundreds of bombs rained down, soon turning the center of the area into a sea of fire.
Explosions followed, and tall buildings were destroyed one after another, then turned into a raging flame. The explosion was so violent that the entire island seemed to tremble......
The bombardment lasted for a quarter of an hour or so, and after a quarter of an hour, only a few lights remained below, replaced by a raging fire that covered almost the entire area. Asakura was initially quite satisfied with the results, but when the explosions stopped completely, his face became difficult to look at - what puzzled him was that although the tongues of fire spewing on the ground had almost disappeared, the sound of gunfire was still loud and dense. Even, some guns rang out unscrupulously in the fire.
"Eight squares! What's going on? "Asakura Taka realized that he had been fooled, because he soon discovered a new situation, that is, after fighting for a long time, under such intensive anti-aircraft fire, not a single fighter on his side was hit." No, we have to put off the bombing, but the fuel is limited, and we can't delay it for too long," Asakura thought as he pulled the fighter up and took the bomber group out of the bombing area. Later, he suddenly pushed the lever all the way to the ground, pressing the nose almost perpendicular to the ground and diving straight down.
Chen Yuanyang looked at the raging sea of fire opposite, and couldn't help wiping his sweat. Now he knows what those four devils do, and their feelings are here to guide the direction of the Japanese machine. But fortunately, the camouflage of Pier 3 was well organized, and the Japanese were deceived, otherwise I don't know what would have happened to Lu Dao. Once something happens to the commander-in-chief here, the student army will inevitably be torn apart, and at the end it will only be cheaper for the Japanese. He suddenly heard a somewhat strange sound, looked up, and saw a black shadow smashed vertically towards Pier 3, and just when he thought that a Japanese plane crashed and crashed, the black shadow almost passed by Pier 3 - in the raging firelight, Chen Yuanyang saw clearly that it was a Japanese fighter plane that he had never seen before. "No, the little devils are doing reconnaissance, did they find something?" Chen Yuanyang thought about it, in addition to the roar of fighter planes, there was also the sound of anti-aircraft guns that could be fake. He immediately understood what the problem was - there was a problem with the sound and light effects of the electronic control, because the monitoring room was directly hit by a bomb, and the officer on duty inside must have died, but the controller was not damaged, so the current situation was created. The entire Pier No. 3 was almost engulfed in flames, but the "air defense forces" were still firing fiercely - "His grandmother's!" Let's hope the little devil doesn't have many bombs left! At this moment, Chen Yuanyang can only think like this.
After playing an extremely thrilling and difficult move, Asakura Eagle did not have the slightest smugness, on the contrary, one of his faces turned iron blue. He risked his life to get close to the reconnaissance, and finally discovered the true face of this Dongshanchina naval hub - the entire position was almost blown over, and he didn't find the body of a single person in China, which was too abnormal. Besides, the houses that were blown down were very problematic, and they were suddenly set on fire so easily. Also, what about warships? And what about the warships of the Chinese people?
Of the 36 bombers, 12 have dropped all their bombs and have returned home. In order to prevent these 12 old Type 97 bombers produced by Nakajima from crashing into the sea due to lack of fuel, Asakura asked them to bomb first and return first. Some of the remaining 24 more advanced bombers had run out of bombs, but they were armed with at least one machine gun and had plenty of fuel to keep fighting. Asakura Takashi silently calculated and found that the remaining fighters alone could still wipe out the Chinese fleet if they did not pay for the bombs, so they no longer entangled in Pier 3, but began to search for the warships of the Xuebing Army along the coastline of Higashiyama.
There are more than 20 warships of various types in the Dongshan Department of the Navy, of which only one-third of them have entered the anti-aircraft bunker, and the rest are moored at Pier No. 1, which is about five kilometers away from Pier No. 3.
The Japanese planes suddenly stopped bombing Pier 3 and flew along the coastline in two groups, and Chen Yuanyang immediately guessed their plan. He secretly shouted in his heart that the devil who led the team was powerful, and ran to the nearest office to call Pier No. 1, asking the officers on duty to distance themselves from the warship as much as possible.
The expected bomb did not fall, and everyone in the conference room gradually stabilized their minds. Many people walked to the door and watched Pier 3 being hit by bombs one after another, and then a raging fire ignited, and they were as happy as watching fireworks during the New Year. It was Ouyang Yun's idea to build the third pier into a camouflage main base, and when the third pier first started to be built, almost all the people in the Dongshan Department were not optimistic, thinking that it was a loser's move, but the facts were presented in front of them, and they had to admit that the commander-in-chief's move was really high. Although the lights were turned off in the meeting, with the help of the moonlight outside, many people looked at Ouyang Yun again, and their eyes were scorching.
Ouyang Yun behaved calmly, in his opinion, this was really nothing. And when the Japanese planes suddenly stopped bombing, he listened attentively and scolded: "This Chen Yuanyang, I really don't know how he told the staff on duty at Pier No. 3 that at this time, the anti-aircraft artillery fire should have been diverted, and if you go to the horn a little more, you will be able to consume more devil bombs - there are still problems in the arrangement of details!" ”
"What's that?" The white tassel suddenly screamed. Her eyes were sharp, and she saw the thrilling action that Asakura Ying had made.
"The little devil found out that something was wrong!" Ouyang Yun was worried.
Many sharp-eyed people saw the action made by Asakura Eagle's fighter plane, and they were stunned one by one, and a captain named Zhu Hailiang asked: "Commander-in-chief, what should we do now?" Will the little devils come over? ”
"I don't know what their specific goal is, the Japanese air raid was premeditated, and it should be related to the few spies we killed before. If that's the case, they're supposed to target me. Well, if that's the case, how many bombs would have to be used to kill a person in such a vast area. In that case, our ships will be safe......" Ouyang Yun calculated as carefully as a peddler, not realizing that if things really developed in the direction of his calculations, then his life would be greatly threatened.
The officers of the Dongshan Division, you look at me, I look at you, and through the moonlight that spilled in from outside the door, they all found the incredible look on each other's faces. Obviously, they were shocked by Ouyang Yun's words - they had all heard rumors about the commander-in-chief slamming the door, but they didn't expect him to slam the door to such an extent, even counting his own life, and actually thinking about using himself to attract the attention of the devil and consume the devil's bomb. This young commander-in-chief, is he really looking at death as home? Or do you not know the power of the road at all? Doesn't he know that once he dies, then the Cadet Army will really be finished, and such losses, let alone hundreds of bombs, will not be able to offset even the Japanese Combined Fleet.
Zhu Hailiang said: "Commander-in-chief, the account can't be calculated like this. If the ship is gone, it can be rebuilt, but if the person is gone, it will be gone forever. As the old saying goes, stay in Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood, hehe, so, we will never approve of you doing this," he said and gestured to the group of officers from the Dongshan Department around him, and more than a dozen people acted immediately, and soon blocked the door of the conference room with a tacit understanding.
Seeing them like this, Liu Kui, who was originally nervous, was relieved and smiled.
