The aviation unit of the Yamabe River Sanjian originally carried out two tasks: after breaking the artillery of the Guanmei defenders, it would escort the landing fleet, help them destroy the coastal defense fortifications in Fuzhou, and strengthen the army air force. The Combined Fleet Air Force, which has surpassed itself in manpower tactics and attrition tactics, and hard technical and tactical capabilities, has achieved good results. The training and growth cycle of pilots is long, resulting in a shortage of pilots in the cadet army and air force. In the past week or so, the two sides have been engaged in frequent battles, and the fighters of the aircraft carrier fleets of the combined fleet have almost been rotated, and although the losses are very heavy, they have also shot down dozens of fighter planes of the Cadet Army, and the most crucial thing is that the fighter pilots of the Cadet Corps do not have enough time to rest, and the fighters cannot be routinely maintained, and even if Tie Linfei wants to launch a long-range attack, it is necessary to transfer fighters and pilots from Baiyunshan Airport.

The air battle in Fuding was definitely an accident, but the occurrence of this accident completely changed the trend of the war in southern Fujian and southwestern Zhejiang. Not to mention the troops on the southern front of the South China Front, not to mention the failure of the offensive, they are still facing the risk of being encircled and annihilated. However, Gu Shoufu's strategy of attacking from both the land, sea, and air forces also failed when the landing fleet withdrew from the coast of Fuzhou.

The main force of the landing fleet was the battleship "Ise" and the heavy cruisers "Kako" and "Nachi". These three ships were arranged by Yamamoto 56 into the landing fleet, originally to sabotage the coastal defense fortifications of Fuzhou, but now they have become Qi Minghao's priority targets.

A total of 34 Swordfish successfully broke through the blockade of the Japanese heavy artillery, and after entering the three-kilometer range, the Japanese heavy artillery lost its effectiveness and could only be bombarded by close defense artillery, at this time, their threat to the Swordfish was much smaller.

The combat characteristics of torpedoes determine that the cadets will give preference to ships with larger targets for attack. The battleships "Ise", the heavy cruisers "Kako" and "Nachi", as well as three troop carriers converted from large merchant ships, were naturally the targets of the first round of strikes.

The Swordfish unit launched an attack with squadrons as units, and Qi Minghao personally commanded a squadron to first target the "Gagu" heavy patrol. The three ships are 001 with Qi Minghao personally in charge, 002 with Chen Zhonghe as the captain, and 003 with Ding Maogen as the captain. The numbers of each Swordfish ship are added according to the launch time, and these three ships are the first three Swordfish to be launched, of which 002 and 003 were launched on the same day. And they also lived up to their expectations, and all passed through the blockade of the sea area by the heavy artillery of the Japanese ships.

Ignoring the sniper fire of the two frigates on the right flank, the three speedboats plunged into the ocean between the "Gagu" and the frigate. The speed of the swordfish was too fast, and the captain of the frigate closest to the "Gagu" saw that something was wrong, and immediately turned the course to try to block their advance, but he was a step too late, and could only watch as the three ships appeared on the left flank of the "Gagu" with a bright waterline, and then turned around one after another, and the bow of the ship was aligned with the "Gagu".

As the second ship of the Furutaka-class heavy cruiser, the "Gagu" heavy cruiser now has a displacement of more than 8,000 tons after later refit, which is definitely a behemoth compared to the Swordfish of less than 100 tons. However, just as the lion was defeated by the wolves, at this time, the "Gagu" faced the attack of the three swordfish, just like the lone lion fell into the wolf pack, with sharp claws, but there was no way to take the three wolves.

"All to the port side, anti-aircraft guns! Machine gun! Use them all! In the face of the three Swordfish that were getting closer and closer, and had already revealed their claws, the captain of the "Kagu" Suzuki Taibo Osa, was frightened, and he walked out of the captain's room and grabbed the railing and shouted loudly down.

There was a complete mess on board the "Gagu". The devil soldiers didn't have the insight of the commanders, and they didn't take the attack of the swordfish school seriously at first. Also, the total tonnage of the attacking enemy ships is not as good as the "Gagu" ship, which is not at the same level at all!

However, when they saw that the nozzles of the torpedo launchers of the three Swordfish began to tilt towards the sea and get closer and closer, they finally realized that this kind of tusked boat could also kill the big guy under them, and they immediately panicked.

"Da ......" machine guns rang out - the "Gagu" was armed with eight 25 mm caliber fixed base machine guns, three of which were capable of being put into the left flank defense. The three machine guns fired wildly, and some bullets hit the target, and the cadets on the Swordfish were immediately killed and wounded.

001 was also fired at by the Devil's machine gun, and a bullet hit the hull of the boat, making a loud "poof" sound. Qi Minghao grabbed the handrail in front of him with his left hand, and pinched the microphone with his right hand, fearless. Torpedo attack, the closer the distance, the better the effect. Although the maximum range of the "Pebble" heavy torpedo equipped with the Swordfish this time exceeded 4,000 meters, considering that the speed was only about 14 meters per second, Qi Minghao still wanted to get closer and fight again. A thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters - "Boom! An explosion sounded from the back of the boat, and the giant Lang took off and almost threw 001 into the air - this was a frigate three or four kilometers away that realized the danger faced by the "Gagu" and fired at the risk of shooting the "Gagu" by mistake.

At this moment, Qi Minghao, who was already sweating on his forehead, finally shouted with all his might: "Launch!" ”

"Bang!" The sound of the explosion was almost negligible as the torpedo was launched, and 001, 002, and 003 fired two torpedoes almost simultaneously.

Six torpedoes were launched, the electric motors roared, and the water splashed behind the torpedoes, and then converged into two bright trails and pounced on the "Gagu".

With a distance of less than 300 meters, with a speed of about 14 meters per second on the "pebbles", it only takes 21 seconds to complete. Six torpedoes, which almost completely locked onto the massive hull of the "Gagu".

"Eight grids!" One of the goblins screamed, lowered the machine gun, and fired desperately at the oncoming torpedoes.

Suzuki Taibo was already sweating profusely, and he ran back into the microphone and shouted, "Right full rudder!" Hurry, hurry! ”

Suzuki's decision was right, if he wanted to match the speed of the "Kagu" and the "Cobblestone", then at least four torpedoes. And if you turn to the left, you might be able to dodge four torpedoes. In addition, if you get shot, you will be shot in the stern, so you can avoid being hit in the boiler room or ammunition depot.

The decision is right, but it doesn't mean it will be effective. Because before the turn, the "Gagu" was moving at high speed.

The six torpedoes were successfully activated and galloped towards the enemy ship, Qi Minghao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he ordered: "Turn right and rush over!" "Six torpedoes in a salvo, he was not at all worried about whether he would be dodged by enemy ships. He was now thinking about how to make persistent efforts to sink another big ship. You know, they still have six torpedoes in their hands.
