Twenty-six eight burning Yokosuka

In the sky, the waning moon had gradually set, and the ground beneath his feet was pitch black, and when you looked down from the sky, the mountains were stacked and the water was hazy, and the entire Tokyo Bay was in chaos. (Vertex Hand Hit)

The shortwave radio station on board still ticks every ten seconds, receiving signals from the submarine force and three portable radio stations carried by the Nighthawk, these stations scattered in specific corners provide the most important navigation signals for the air force, and he also believes that there is nothing wrong with the new radio navigation calculation method, after all, this is something that the young master has concentrated Tesla and many experts from the Academy of Sciences, and the fleet has also relied on it to locate the Japanese returning fleet in the vast Pacific Ocean, and it has been tested.

The problem was that the Japanese were unable to provide accurate guidance because they had strictly blocked access to the port of Yokosuka and were afraid that the radio would be secretly discovered

The port of Yokosuka is not very large, according to intelligence, there are only four docks and eight berths, and there is also a two empty docks left over from the last emptiness, as well as some warehouse barracks, so finding this harbor accurately at high altitude has become the most important part of whether or not the bomb can be successfully dropped this time.

If it was daytime, then Xue Muhua could guarantee to find there, but it was the early hours of the night, the clouds were thick tonight, and the moonlight was not too bright, although not long ago the Gray Spine Shark reported that the Japanese were cleaning up the wounds of four battleships overnight, but Yokosuka Port was covered by mountains on three sides, and it was not as bright as Ryukyu Port, so it really took some thought to find it.

Where the hell is Yokosuka?

Xue Muhua looked at his watch, his face full of eagerness.

The most worrying thing is the noise of the humming engine, which can travel far in this silent night, and if it is not found and located as soon as possible, it will be discovered by the Japanese sooner or later, and if they rush to the port first to inform the garrison to evacuate the warships and troops, it will be in vain

The observer and bombardier next to him was also full of anxiety, holding a telescope and looking around in general directions, just wanting to find the damn Yokosuka as soon as possible and drop the heavy bomb in the magazine

Just when Xue Muhua had gradually lost his patience and was about to use the last resort to throw out flares to find the target, "Boom." An earth-shattering loud bang came from several miles away, as if the heavens and the earth were shaking, and even the airship seemed to stagnate suddenly.

Xue Muhua suddenly raised his telescope to look at the sound, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, but before he could close his mouth, several loud noises came from a continuous manner, making him and all the sailors who saw this scene stunned.

On the other side of the lens, a cruiser of about three or four thousand tons docked at the berth, still emitting faint gray smoke in the chimney, seemed to have been stabbed by something from underwater, and the middle of the hull of several thousand tons arched violently, like a balloon that had been blown up, suddenly cracked from the middle, and a huge splash of water rushed straight into the sky from the middle of the two hulls, and smashed down on the water, causing the lifted hull to turn over violently, revealing the bulging bottom of the ship.

Before this strong picture disappeared from his eyes, a few thousand meters away from the berth, there were several loud noises, and the explosion brought up a wave of huge water masses, directly overturning the three warships, and when the water splash gradually dissipated, he saw the huge hole in the bottom of the ship with a diameter of several meters, and stared blankly at the palpitating wound, even he, the commander of the Air Force, was stunned by the Navy's methods.

"Commander, Yokosuka"

The sky-high flames brought by the explosion made Yokosu Port, which had been searching, suddenly appear in front of him, and without the need for observers to shout, Xue Muhua had already seen clearly that less than a kilometer outside the anchorage where the explosive cruiser was stationed, four huge battleships slowly climbed into the camera from behind the hillside.

"Ten degrees of left rudder"

"Signaling"

"Ammo Unlock"

"Three-Three Formation"

"Preparing to drop the bomb"

Xue Muhua's roar made the pod chaotic all of a sudden, and after the correspondent sent out one command after another by telegram, he immediately grabbed the heavy storage signal light and played a light signal of different rhythms to the formation behind him.

The bombardier had already dropped the binoculars, got into the bomb compartment and stood next to the three stacked bombs, and after pulling out the bolts with the conspicuous white rope attached to the tail of the bombs, he began to check whether the bomb window brackets protected by a thick steel plate were normal.

The pilot pulled the steering gear hard, so that the two huge rudders on the tail swung with it, and little by little formed a three-three formation with the partner group next to him, and rushed towards the port of Yokosuka a few kilometers away.

As the suddenly brightly lit Yokosuka Port got closer and closer, the hearts of Xue Muhua and all the officers and soldiers beat violently, and whether the newly formed air force would raise its eyebrows or be short-lived, it would be decided in the next few minutes-

When Suzuki Zirconium wore shorts and led his shirt and pushed the door and rushed out of the dormitory, there was already a mess next to him, and at the same time that countless figures rushed towards the dock, more disheveled and sleepy-eyed soldiers walked out of the barracks in a daze, looking around blankly, as if they didn't know what was going on.

Suzuki Zirconium did not run with the soldiers, because he did not belong to the Navy, he was just a technician temporarily sent by the Yokohama Shipyard, and he was afraid of war.

Bucking the flow of people, he retreated to the former site of the Yokosuka shipyard and ran towards a low wall.

At the age of thirty-four, he was once sent to France to study shipbuilding, but now he is one of the few ship technicians in Japan who still stick to his post, and most of his companions who were in high spirits and vowed to revitalize the Japanese shipbuilding industry were dismissed because of the lack of operation of the shipyards, and many of them are now living the most miserable lives, and some have even joined the growing begging team in order to survive.

Ten years of reform, the whole people are united, once known as the sun rises and vigorous empire, but now it is twilight, he is not a soldier, nor is he a high-ranking official in the base camp, he only wants to end this senseless war as soon as possible.

In his view, since the last naval battle was lost, we should not rush to gamble and gamble on the national fortunes again, borrowing money to build ships and rearm to provoke the opponent, but should base ourselves on the long term, first go all out to do a good job in domestic affairs, and then challenge the opponent when the economy recovers.

But it is clear that the base camp and the upper echelons did not think so, believing that the empire had been insulted, and that Japan was once again armed, fueled by the arms trade of the great powers for high profits.

Of course, the cost of arming is also enormous, and for ten years or even for a long time to come, Japan will become the enslavement of others and pay off a huge amount of foreign debt.

But even so, when the four capital ships returned to Yokosuka, when the news of the huge return fleet set sail from England came, he rejoiced like all the people, regardless of whether it was right to mortgage the country, at least the emperor and the base camp had done their best, and many people even began to fantasize about the idea of paying off their loans and building a super-empire after defeating the Pacific Fleet and capturing Hawaii and the Ryukyus, as well as Korea and the entire northeastern part of China

But all of this was shattered this afternoon, and the pier in the distance was like a mirror of connoisseurship, when the four wrecked and smoky capital ships leaned and approached the dock with the help of tugboats. When the four capital ships that had arrived to meet him lost one after a few hours of journey, dragging his tired body back to Yokosuka, he felt like he had been slapped in the face

He couldn't imagine what would happen to a country that was still waiting for the fleet to return, immersed in the clamor of the base camp to defeat the enemy and establish a new Japan, and was only covered by the dream of the return of the huge fleet, to hear the fact that the fleet had been crippled again.

Of course, this scene may never happen, because the headquarters has issued an order that no one, including a shipyard technician like him, is allowed to talk about the return and defeat of the fleet. Obviously, some people want to keep it covered.

But can it really be covered?

Suzuki Zirconium sighed and climbed the wall, after the shipbuilding equipment purchased at the foot of the land had been pulled out three years ago to pay off the debt, although the base camp was interested in restoring the prosperity of the place, but under the embarrassing financial and economic pressure, the order was finally issued to suspend the new construction.

After he struggled to climb the brick wall, before he could straighten up and catch his breath, he was stunned by the scene in front of him

What happened?

He only saw that in order to make room for the four battleships, the Azuki had chosen to anchor outside the harbor, and the Azui, which had pinned the hopes of Japan, had been lifted to expose its bulging belly as if it had encountered a tsunami, and the horizontal deck had become 90 degrees vertical.

Flames erupted from all over the 10,000-ton battleship, explosions erupted below deck, and torn steel plates and parts like the magma of Mount Fuji were pushed into the air and then smashed down. There were countless figures in the firelight, clinging to the railings, gun barrels, and everything he could see, trying to maintain their balance, and the cries for help and shouts could be heard very clearly even from a few kilometers away.

And the Satsuma next to it, the Izumo can no longer even see the bow, the stern is high and sinking rapidly, as for the Austro-Hungarian built Gausha second-class cruiser, it is as if it has been torn apart by a giant beast, and the two hulls cross and sink a little bit.

What's going on?

Suzuki zirconium searched the surface of the sea diligently, but no matter how hard he tried, he didn't see a single shadow of the enemy ship, could it be that the ammunition depot exploded? But why do four warships have this problem at the same time?

The chaotic sea suddenly gave Suzuki Zirconium a terrifying feeling, as if it was a dark devil's mouth, which was swallowing Japan into the abyss little by little.

Soon, four or five tugboats rushed out of the dock and headed towards the soldiers shouting at the anchorage, but Suzuki Zirconium, who was familiar with ships, knew very well that even if they could save these warships, they would no longer be able to serve, and the only way to wait for them was to return to the furnace.

Suzuki Zirconium jumped off the wall quickly, although he was tired of this life, he couldn't let himself stand here and stand by, after all, it was his own people who shouted and screamed in the firelight.

When he had just jumped off the fence and found that his clothes had fallen on it at some point, he hurriedly reached for it, but his fingers had just touched his shirt, and his whole body seemed to freeze.

I saw a dozen giant egg-like things in the sky in the distance, and they flew very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of them, and the buzzing sound like a few swarms of wasps around their ears continued to burrow into their brains.

Suzuki Zirconium watched in a daze as the giant black eggs swept overhead and headed quickly towards the dock, and a strange throbbing of sadness suddenly surged in his heart, as if something was going to happen.

As the buzzing sound continued to spread, the crowded Yokosu Port suddenly exploded, and everyone looked left and right, trying to find the source of the sound, but when everyone finally locked on the source of the sound and raised their heads, three "giant eggs" had already swept neatly across the port area, and at the same time, a series of black spots were also sprinkled under them.

The soldiers stared blankly at the black dot, watching it grow little by little in its eyes and then land on the crowd.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Bomb"

Suzuki Zirconium was not a fool, and the sound of the explosion was still clear, but he didn't realize why those "big eggs" spit out bombs, and saw clouds of white smoke in the port area as the explosion began to spread, turning into smoke and dispersing in all directions.

"What kind of bomb is this?" Suzuki Zirconium subconsciously stopped, wanting to see what kind of bombs they were, and why they brought not fire and smoke, but these white fogs.

But the scene that frightened him soon appeared, only to see those bursting white fog suddenly brightened, and turned into sparks in the air, and the blast wave of the explosion pushed these tiny sparks in all directions, and soon these sparks were contaminated with the soldiers' bodies, houses, and warehouses.

The flames spread at an incredible speed, and countless soldiers and workers who had just been preparing to save people screamed in the flames, their hair and clothes disappeared in the blink of an eye, and their bodies were burned to char almost instantly.

What made his eyes widen in disbelief was that after several soldiers covered in flames jumped into the sea, the flames attached to them had not been extinguished, and they were still stubbornly glowing orange on the surface of the sea.

What kind of flame is this?

Suzuki's scalp exploded suddenly, and a cold current rushed down his spine into his brain, causing his whole body to tremble, and he hurriedly ran to the barracks in the distance.

In just a few minutes, all the soldiers who were ready to save people were charred, but it wasn't over yet, three after three, and when these big eggs kept passing through the port area, when they kept spitting out bombs, the whole of Yokosuka was set on fire

Turning his head to look at the burning harbor, Suzuki's face turned even whiter, and he ran desperately to the barracks built on the mountainside, because he knew that there were thousands of newly returned naval soldiers, soldiers who had been ordered to be stationed, and cannons and rifles that could protect him.

Suzuki Zirconium gasped heavily, and it was no longer possible to tell from the cold sweat from the strange flames or the heat from the running on his forehead, but when he was about to arrive at the barracks, a buzzing sound above his head suddenly stopped him.

The sound made all his cold hairs explode, and a burst of gunfire immediately exploded from the barracks, but the dense gunfire not only did not reassure Suzuki Zirconium, but made him even more uneasy, because he knew better than anyone that the sparks coming from the muzzle of the gun would attract more bombs -

In the telescope, a 250 kilogram incendiary bomb with a charge of 120 kilograms landed, first exploded suddenly, and then released white phosphorus smoke, and then the phosphorus powder with a very low ignition point did not land, it burned one after another, spreading outward along the shock wave, and when all the Mars landed, tens of thousands of square meters were already a sea of fire.

Three rows of airships swept past the target, threw down a series of incendiary bombs, and then pulled up and returned to the air under the strong wind, when this scene continued to repeat in Xue Muhua's eyes, he seemed to feel that his whole body was about to explode, there is no doubt that this is the perfect first battle so far

Before Xue could shout excitedly, hundreds of fires suddenly lit up on the mountainside in the distance, and the burst of gunfire frightened him, although the airship was at an altitude of thousands of meters, and the bottom of the pod had also undergone special treatment, but the huge hull could not dodge the bullets, especially the hull was filled with flammable hydrogen, although the bullets hitting those leather and cotton cloth would not cause sparks, but there were some steel wires used for reinforcement there, what if?

"Drop the bomb, pull it up"

Looking at the No. 7 airship that flew into the barracks area, he stomped his feet and shouted, but before he could shout a few words, the most heart-wrenching scene appeared, only to see a series of bombs flying out of the No. 7 airship pod violently, and the thin steel plate of his own pod was also splashed with bullets, although the airship began to run up violently after throwing away the six-ton restraint, but in the end there was still a bullet hit the engine, and a ball of flames immediately appeared in the engine compartment on the right.

Suffered

After the engine compartment was hit and burst into flames, the No. 7 boat pulled out a large puff of smoke, but fortunately, the captain also knew that nothing could happen here, so he hurriedly flew to the sea.

As soon as the airship reached the surface, the flames suddenly burst onto the skin, and the hull full of hydrogen suddenly turned into a huge fireball and fell headlong towards the sea.

"The submarine passed."

The fall of the No. 7 airship made everyone's hearts flutter, and everyone rushed to the porthole after the pod fell rapidly and suddenly smashed a huge splash on the sea.

Fortunately, the fire ball caught the attention of a mackerel-class submarine, and it immediately accelerated towards the crash ground.

The first time he was put into actual combat, he lost an airship, which made Xue Muhua's eyes red, and he pushed the pilot away, and personally drove the No. 01 boat to the barracks that hit the No. 7 airship.

"Bomb Dropping"

After Xue Muhua shouted, the bombardier pulled the handle hard, the bottom hatch burst open, and twenty-four incendiary bombs rushed out of the ammunition compartment like raindrops.

In an instant, six tons of restraint were missing, and the airship suddenly swooped upwards under the strong wind, as it had just untied the cable, and quickly broke away from the barracks area.

Before the joy of hitting an airship had not spread, Suzuki Zirconium saw a series of black dots fall above his head again. Suddenly, countless white mist rose and turned into sparks and scattered all around, and the small barracks, which was made entirely of wooden materials, was ignited almost instantly, and a pungent and unpleasant smell began to fill the air.

The explosion occurred a few hundred meters away, and Suzuki Zirconium finally saw a lot more clearly, but the more it happened, the more frightened he felt, because those orange-red flames didn't know what kind of fire they were, and they actually attached to the brick wall that they couldn't burn even if they were thrown into the fire, and this scene only made him feel creepy.

He didn't know what kind of fire it was, he only knew that these terrible flames burned whatever they encountered, and they stuck to the surface for a long time, and not far away, a few sentries who were still shooting with guns just now were stained with flames, and rolled on the ground several times in a row, and one of them even grabbed a basin of water and poured it on it, but the flame was not extinguished, and still emitted a faint light, until it burned out the clothes, melted the muscles, and finally scorched the bones.

Standing on a high place, the entire barracks was shrouded in this terrible flame, countless soldiers screamed, rolling and hiding in the middle of the flames, but no matter where they hid, as long as they were stained with even finger-sized fire points, in the end there were only piles of charred bones left.

Suzuki Zirconium had forgotten to run, and watched as a steel barrel slowly melted in this flame, and his scalp seemed to explode, and when he raised his head, those "eggs" were still dropping this terrible bomb.

Looking back, the entire port of Yokosuka seemed to be covered with a layer of flames, which seemed to come alive and spread to a wider area with the strong wind.

Houses were charred, warehouses were reduced to ashes, and buildings filled with bamboo and wood structures fueled the fire, and screams rang out from every sea of fire, and when the last stored shells erupted in the flames, Japan's last naval port was completely gone

Looking at this hellish scene depicted in the middle, Suzuki Zirconium finally couldn't help it, and ran towards the top of the mountain as fast as possible, but the pungent smell of the wind made him feel more and more uncomfortable, and when he stepped again and was about to run down the mountain, the corners of his mouth were already flowing white foam, and after shaking his body a few times, he suddenly rolled down from the top of the mountain, and fell into the sea of fire that began to fill the mountain.

"Report to the commander, the boats have finished dropping bombs."

"Also." The communicator paused and slowly lowered his head: "The mackerel sent a signal, and the seventh boat was all sacrificed. ”

The sound made the pod quiet, Xue Muhua also squeezed his fist hard, and walked to the small window, and the Yokosuka Port in the distance was still a sea of fire.

"Ask the Navy to help find their bodies as much as possible and blow up Boat Seven."

"Yes."

"Send electricity to the boats and tell everyone that we are the Air Force and I am proud of Boat Seven"

"We are the Air Force, and I am proud of Boat 7," the fighters responded, their eyes sparkling.

Twenty minutes later, when a violent explosion was heard on the sea, seventeen airships had been assembled and slowly flew towards the outside of the Uraga waterway. At the same moment, the fleet finally drilled out of the Uraga waterway, led by the Duke and the Prince, who were on fire
