The continuous huge explosion woke up most of the Chinese who were sleeping, and some of them were indeed having a good dream of the Japanese army being beaten, obviously this sudden real explosion reminded them that the dream was not illusory, judging from the fact that the Japanese lost face in Shanghai one after another, coupled with the rumors that Izumo was sunk, maybe one day, those Japanese soldiers and the diaspora will really roll up and get out? Caring people turned over and got up one after another, and looked in the direction of the smoke from the explosion, and sure enough, it was the direction of the Dagong Yarn Factory, where there was a Japanese airfield. Sharp-eyed people can even see planes flying in the air, not knowing whether it is a national army bomber or a Japanese fighter.

After dropping bombs, the two bombers immediately turned to the southeast. This is the hardest time, because the altitude and speed were low before, and now the altitude and speed must be increased immediately. The sun has leapt over the horizon and there is no longer cover for night.

"1104, fly towards the sun together."

Squadron Leader Jin Wen instructed another plane in the rear to fly eastward, so that the dazzling sunlight could be used to block the view of the pursuing enemy. Although those Nakajima 97 are extremely dexterous and difficult fighters, but the weapons are quite weak, if you want to rely on two machine guns to overturn a bomber, the fastest way is to shoot one engine accurately and continuously, any interference of light and shadow will affect such a precise work. Not to mention the fact that there was also a 12.7mm machine gun with 360° steering above the bomber, and its firepower was even stronger than that of these Japanese fighters.

The Japanese naval pilots began to regroup and charge, and in the harsh sunlight, tracer bullets from the opposing machine guns became indistinguishable, while the enemy could clearly see them. The 97s began to climb one after another, and then dived down from a high altitude, but since the machine gun was forcing them 200 meters away, none of them could cause fatal damage, and the bombers were slowly climbing, and after reaching 2000 meters, they leveled to increase speed.

As Captain Jin Wen expected, after the enemy's third attempt to launch a condescending attack failed, they gradually couldn't jump up to catch up, and finally even the flat flight chase was a little difficult, they couldn't keep the throttle to the maximum, so there was a danger of bursting.

However, the machine gunners of the two bombers reported separately that they saw two other black dots on their heads, suspected fighters, who had been watching and did not come down to participate in the melee, but they were never thrown off.

"1104 report, see Zero fighter in the sky." Ouyang Shou said.

"No, that's not Zero," Jin Wen looked up, and could see two planes slowly flying in front of her from the glass cockpit, "but it's enough, it's Zero's cousin Nakajima's Hayabusa." ”

It is difficult to distinguish the Zero and Hayabusa from 1000 meters away, but since it appeared in a group with the 97, it must also be an army aircraft.

Sure enough, see 97 exit. The two Japanese planes descended with a sharp tumbling dive, apparently to challenge the twin 7.62mm machine guns in front of the bombers head-on.

The bombers were forced to turn to Hangzhou Bay and engage with a larger caliber top machine gun. However, the enemy did not seem to attack in the expected way, and the two enemy planes quickly fell from the side and drilled into the blind spot of the pilot and machine gunner. It seems that they are indeed veterans, and they are well aware that this medium bomber has a defensive blind spot below, so they dive deeper.

Those fighters with insufficient power usually don't dare to play like this, because the attack is too violent, which means that the maneuver route that is then pulled up on the vertical is longer, and more energy will be lost, and if the attack fails, it is easy to be thrown off by the faster enemy, so those 97 attacks can only go close to a straight line, a relatively shallow arc.

The bombers began to clumsily turn sideways, in order to give the pilots and machine gunners some angles, but the enemy attack was already unfolding.

The 7.7 mm machine gun instantly opened more than a dozen transparent holes in the belly of bomber No. 1101. For the time being, there is no vital injury, and if they use 2 20mm guns, I am afraid that it will be the first round of attacks, and the winner can be decided.

The two fighters pulled straight into the blue sky from Jin Wen's side, and the terrifying climbing speed impressed everyone. The machine gunner seized the opportunity to hit a few short points, and the enemy could be seen rolling a few times, quickly passing through the effective range, and then a somersault came down again. Again drilled under the bomber from hundreds of meters away.

"You see, these little Japan's formations are good. When attacking, double-click the formation is completely out of order. ”

"Captain, what are we going to do?"

"It's hard to pass this pass today, tell 1104, let him go in the direction of Ningbo, we continue to fly to the sea, they can only pursue one of us in a formation."

"That ......"

"Ouyang, no matter who they bite, they must be prepared, we are here for this."

"I understand."

When Ouyang Shou called with the radio, the energetic enemy plane pulled up from 200 meters below again and calmly fired from the back, this time hitting the wing, and it could be seen that one side of the engine began to emit black smoke, but the output was normal for the time being. As the enemy climbed at a frightening pace, the defensive machine guns did not go off, as if the machine gunners had encountered an accident, while the other bomber turned southwest and was not pursued by the Japanese.

"Looks like it bites us, and it's not bad. You're ready to skydive. I tried to fly the plane over Hangzhou Bay and get close to our guerrilla zone. ”

The Japanese pilot, who had a beard, smiled and passed by, this time he flew closer with impunity, because he saw that the glass cover of the machine gun tower was broken, and the machine gunner had fallen in a pool of blood. For him, it was only a matter of time before he shot down the bomber captain, and out of the consideration of insufficient firepower and the need for repeated attacks, he did not disband the formation and divide his troops to pursue another bomber, but used gestures to tell the wingman that they would only attack this plane today, because from the bomber number, he deduced that it was an officer's chief plane, which was the result of the unremitting efforts of Japanese spies who had penetrated deep into the interior.

The enemy plane again crossed over from the top and entered a somersault, as if in a cycle of tricks. Relying on the absolute advantage in performance, losses are inevitable today.

The Japanese planes came down for the third time, no longer afraid of the 12.7mm machine guns, and dived too deep, they slowed down and launched strafing from the flank, aiming at the smoking engine. The shot left him completely scrapped and burned.

The Japanese troops in the garrison position below all saw the bomber dragging black smoke downward, and immediately cheered. These days, the Japanese army suffered too much loss in Shanghai, and finally regained face.

In the cockpit of the bomber, the captain of the group was not alarmed, and opened one side of the flap to stabilize the course. However, the altimeter was rapidly reversing, and it fell 1,000 meters in the blink of an eye.

"Ouyang, I can't cross Hangzhou Bay, you and Gao Chuanxian jump first, and Pudong also has our guerrillas."

"Captain, what about you?"

"I then jumped, remember, save the last minute bullets, don't be a prisoner."

"Understood."

Captain Ouyang Shou turned around and moved towards the rear with difficulty, he went to the side hatch and pushed it open hard, and at a glance he saw that the machine gunner Gao Chuanxian was still tied to the seat of the machine gun tower, blood was bubbling in his chest, and a strong wind blew across his pale face, obviously he had been sacrificed for a long time. He jumped out of one of the hatches, pulled the parachute lines, and watched as he rapidly fell to the ground a stone's throw away, until he was pulled upward by a tremendous force and his descent slowed.

As far as the eye could see, the captain was driving the bomber towards the sea, where a Japanese transport ship flying the plaster flag was slowly sailing. He knew he was saying goodbye to the captain. He took out the TT33 pistol from the holster, which was given to him by Lieutenant Vasily when he left, and he remembered the words of the captain of the brigade to leave a bullet and must not be taken prisoner.

The Japanese fighters did not give Lieutenant Colonel Jin Wen the last chance, they circled from the other side again to find an opportunity, and still attacked the side wings like crazy, tilting all their fire to the wounded parts, this almost rogue attack almost coincided with their overall strategy of invading China.

This time they succeeded, finally breaking the wing completely. The bomber fell headlong and landed in an area of several hundred meters in front of the Japanese merchant ship.

Lin Xiuxuan and his special team hid in the reeds and saw this scene, and the national army pilot seemed to have landed somewhere in a kilometer to the west.

"Team leader, are we going to save people?"

Ma Qiang was the first to hold back and say his thoughts.

"But it's daytime." Lu Qingshan reminded.

"I can search for a location in 30 minutes, definitely faster than the enemy."

Xu Chong obviously didn't agree with Lu Qingshan's opinion.

Lin's mind was a mess, and as the one who wanted to make an idea, he had to think about a lot more than the team members. If you save this person, what should you do next, with some equipment by your side, you can't show people; But if you don't save it, what's the difference between it and a cold-blooded beast. There is also damage to the morale of the group, which must be taken into account. All these ideological struggles were finally weighed in 5 seconds.

"Xu Chong, Ma Qiang. You leave your equipment, go and come back quickly, we will meet in the old kiln, remember not to be reluctant, if the pilot is seriously injured, give up decisively, we can't carry the wounded. ”

"Yes."

After leaving some restrictions, he took Lu Qingshan and Chu Aiyun with extra equipment on his back, and still moved along the original route. He sent the two guys with the strongest reconnaissance and combat skills out to save people, which was fully considered, and the nearby puppet army was only equipped with bicycles, which meant that it would be at least 1 hour before they arrived. Of course, this is not to say that it will not cause problems for 419, in a way, if the pilot is too low to parachute altitude, or for other reasons, it may not be a bad thing, so that it will not interfere with the operation, and the pilot will not be brutally tortured by the enemy because he is captured. Lin Xiuxuan estimated that the local enemy must have attached great importance to the issue of how the national army could accurately attack the army headquarters at night, which also played a certain adverse role in whether 419 could continue to hide. So at least someone should have been sent to confirm that the pilot was dead.

Since the landing was expected to be quite simple, 419 did not release a single drone, and both drones are currently undergoing routine maintenance, which also brought considerable trouble to Xu Chong's search work.

Around the same time, the Japanese military port of Yokosuka.

Since it was a time zone earlier than China, it was already a lot of sky at the moment. The front class of the huge battleship Nagato was full of seats, and the main officers of the Combined Fleet were seated in different ranks, and today they will discuss the difficulties of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and various considerations.

After the Battle of Taranto in July 1940, the Commanding Department was inspired to work on a completely new plan that would break away from the old way of thinking about battleship battles. However, the more specific plan did not take shape until the first half of '41.

The plan was to focus on aviation, with sneak attacks as a surprise approach. The draft came from the ideas of the commander of the Combined Fleet, as well as a small circle of several senior staff officers, including Takijiro Onishi. At present, the plan has been repeatedly discussed and sharpened, and the technical research on * and micro submarines has been gradually resolved. But there are still some, such as replenishment at sea, getting rid of enemy submarine reconnaissance, and the problem of retreat that needs to be solved.
