Chapter 927: Attack the Aircraft Carrier Xianghe!
Yokosuka Military Port is located on the east coast of the entrance to Tokyo Bay on the island of Honshu, Japan, and is connected to Yokohama City to the north and the east coast of Yokosuka City to the south.
The harbor is blessed with berthing facilities, ship repair capacity, oil and ammunition storage equipment, and personnel rest facilities, and is known as the first military port in the East.
When Japanese planes defending the Yokosuka military port learned that Tokyo had been bombed, they took off to support the city of Tokyo.
Tokyo, Japan, and its vicinity, have become a mess at this time.
This was the third bombing of the Japanese mainland.
The first was a bombardment of leaflets dropped on the Japanese mainland by planes of the Nationalist Army.
The second time was the bombing of the Japanese mainland by B25 bombers dispatched by the United States.
However, the first two bombings were very small in scale, and even the bombing of pieces of paper did not cause any losses to Japan at all.
But this time, the Eighth Route Army carried out a large bombing of Tokyo, which made the Japanese feel panic.
Since the commander of the Japanese air defense did not know how many enemy planes were coming, and whether there would be bombers in the future, he ordered the Japanese fighters around Tokyo to rush to reinforcements.
At this time, the defense of the Yokosuka military port was relatively empty.
More than a month has passed since the Battle of Midway.
Although the Japanese navy suffered a crushing defeat at Midway, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the strength of the current Japanese navy and the U.S. navy returned to the same running line.
In the Yokosuka Military Port, in addition to the newly repaired aircraft carrier Shozuru, there is also its direct frigate Yukikaze, as well as more than a dozen light cruisers, destroyers and other small ships.
Some of these small ships were damaged during the Battle of Midway and brought to Yokosuka Naval Port for repair.
However, there were no heavy cruisers.
At present, although the little devil suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Midway, he still has a lot of family background.
Twenty minutes ago, the captain of the aircraft carrier Shozuru, Masafumi Arima, received a telegram from the Air Defense Command saying that Tokyo had been attacked by air.
As a result, Arima Masafumi angrily canceled the plan to go to sea for training at noon.
In the Battle of the Coral Sea, the aircraft carrier Xianghe was heavily damaged, and the aircraft carrier Xiangfeng and 1 destroyer were sunk.
At present, the aircraft carrier Xianghe has been repaired, but it will take a period of inspection and training before it can be put back into battle.
In the Battle of Midway, the Japanese Navy lost 4 aircraft carriers in World War I, but for the aircraft carriers Shozuru and Zuizuru, it was a blessing in disguise.
After the Battle of Midway, the maintenance progress of the Xianghe aircraft carrier was significantly accelerated, and in addition to the addition of several 25mm anti-aircraft guns, a No. 21 anti-aircraft reconnaissance with unstable performance was also installed on the top of the bridge.
Moreover, a large number of crew members have been added to the flight team, and the combat effectiveness has been enhanced.
"Your Excellency, why did you cancel your training plan?"
Shigeji Murata, the captain of the aircraft carrier Shozuru wearing a flight suit, walked up quickly, bowed his head, and then asked Arima Masafumi.
Next to Arima Masamune, stood the captain of the Shozuru, Hiroshi Shirane.
Shigeharu Murata and Shirane were originally the captain of the Akagi's attack team and the captain of the ship combat detachment.
Since the Akagi was sunk by the U.S. Navy during the Battle of Midway, most of these men were added to the Shozuru.
Arima Masafumi's face was gloomy: "I just received a call from the Home Command that Tokyo was hit by an air raid, so the training plan was canceled. ”
The enemy is actually bombing Tokyo again, and the old devil has realized that something is wrong.
"It must have been the Yankees!"
Shigeharu Murata showed a look of hatred on his face:
"Your Excellency, please allow my flight team to go to Tokyo to support and shoot down the American plane!"
In the eyes of this devil, the only one who has the ability to attack Tokyo is the Yankees.
But the Yankees' aircraft carriers are thousands of kilometers away, how did they fly the bombers to Tokyo?
"Not American bombers."
"The bomber that encountered Tokyo this time came from China."
Arima Masamune said.
"Nani, China?"
Shigeharu Murata's face was full of disbelief.
Just with the poor countryside of the Republic of China, a group of mud legs, they also have the strength to bomb the Japanese mainland, and it is Tokyo?
A few years ago, Chinese bombers came to Japan once.
But that time, the Chinese bombers dropped not aerial bombs, but leaflets.
Not surprisingly, that bombing became a laughing stock for the Japanese people and the Japanese Navy and Army.
This time, the Chinese come really?
"That group of army red deer, even the Chinese army can't defeat it, it's a shame for the locust army, and it doesn't deserve to be called the locust army."
Shirane Fief, the captain of the naval combat detachment on the side, was furious.
The US Navy is strong, plus it is overshadowed, and it is normal for the Combined Fleet to be defeated.
But what kind of troops are those Chinese people?
It can be said that it is called the Hanako Army, why can't the army red deer be defeated?
"Army red deer!"
Captain Arima Masamune also scolded angrily.
But at this moment, the sound of aircraft engines and propellers humming in the sky sounded.
In the beginning.
Arima Masafumi and Murata Shigeharu also thought that their own planes from nearby airports had taken off and headed for reinforcements in Tokyo.
But as time went on, the buzzing grew louder and louder.
"Captain, northwest direction, enemy aircraft spotted!"
A ghost lookout soldier who was in charge of observation ran in and reported to Arima Masafumi.
Masafumi Arima, Shigeharu Murata, and Fifu Shirane immediately raised their binoculars and looked in the northwest direction.
In the field of view of the telescope, more than 10 huge bombers suddenly appeared, flying towards the Yokosuka military port.
"It's a Chinese bomber!"
Arima Masakumi quickly made a judgment in his mind, and his face was gloomy:
"They're going to bomb the military port!"
At this time, more than 10 Chinese bombers appeared here, apparently trying to bomb the military port.
"Shirane-kun, order the air defense alarm to be sounded, and all the air defense guns will fire immediately."
Arima Masafumi looked at Shiranefifu.
"Hey."
Shiropenfeff bowed his head, turned around and went to order.
With the order of the fleet commander issued, the devil navy on the aircraft carrier Xianghe took action one after another, carrying ammunition and anti-aircraft guns.
These are all Japanese navies who are fighting against the US military in the Pacific Ocean, and they have a lot of combat experience.
In the face of the enemy bombers that came by sneak attack, the Japanese Navy soldiers did not show panic on their faces, and they all calmly took their positions.
The action is perfect, like a thousand tempers.
The operation is as fierce as a tiger.
"Enemy bombers did not have escort fighters."
Arima Masato picked up the binoculars and glanced at the sky, then looked at Shigeji Murata, and ordered in a fierce tone:
"Murata-kun, the Zero fighters of your flying team will attack immediately and shoot down all the enemy bombers for me!"
The U.S. Navy beat us, and the Chinese air force also came to join in the fun.
Then hit!
Shoot them all!
"Hey!"
Shigeharu Murata bowed his head suddenly, turned away murderously, and walked quickly to the flight deck.
Dare to bomb without fighter escort, I don't know how to write dead words!?
……
At the same time.
High in the air.
Responsible for leading the Eighth Route Army to bomb the 2nd formation was Wang Hexin, an instructor of the Independent Regiment Flight Brigade.
"Ahead is the Yokosuka Military Port."
"Attention to the crews, immediately descend to an altitude, but only to a height of 4,500 meters."
Wang Hexin was calling in the current electricity while controlling the elevator of the plane and driving the plane down to an altitude.
At this time, Tokyo had just been bombed, and almost all the devils in the country were attracted by this bombing, and the devil planes from the nearby airports went to Tokyo to support.
At this juncture, Wang Hexin led 11 "Flying Fortress" bombers and quietly approached the Yokosuka military port.
After approaching the target area, Wang Hexin decisively ordered all the bombers to descend in altitude and prepare to drop bombs.
"Discover the target."
Soon, one of the bombardiers spotted the aircraft carrier Shozuru docked at Yokosuka Naval Port through his field of vision, and said on the radio:
"The target is in the middle of the military port, is it a bomb?"
"I see the target too!"
"Wait!"
The bombardier No. 003 also reported to Wang Hexin on the radio that he was Zhou Zikai, the leader of the 4th Squadron of the 23rd Air Group of the National Air Force.
Although Zheng Shaoqiang sent him as the pilot of one of the bombers.
But he was rejected by Zhou Zikai, he wanted to be a bombardier, how could he be comfortable driving a bomber to blow up the main aircraft carrier of the devil with his own hands?
At this time, Zhou Zikai saw the target they were going to bomb, but he also saw the devil's plane:
"There are enemy planes taking off on the aircraft carrier, it's a Zero fighter!"
"Zero?"
Wang He Xinwen said, his face suddenly changed slightly.
They were not escorted by Sabre fighters, and although the Flying Fortress bombers had great firepower, the danger would soar if the Zero fighters were to bite them.
However, this was also expected by Wang Hexin and the pilots.
There may be enemy aircraft in the vicinity of the Yokosuka military port.
If it weren't for the bombing from Tokyo's side, more enemy planes might have taken to the skies to attack them.
"Drop the bomb immediately after aiming, and immediately pull the bomber up to more than 7 kilometers after dropping the bomb!"
Wang Hexin quickly regained his composure, and then gave the order to fight.
At this time, the dashboard showed that the bomber was already only about 5,500 meters above the ground.
In fact, the best bomb dropping altitude for bombing the devil aircraft carrier is 4,500 meters, and then hovering at this height, let the bombardier control the gyroscope, and control the defense line where the goblet bomb falls, so as to hit the devil aircraft carrier.
But now, the devil's Zero fighter is taking off, and it needs to change the way it drops bombs.
Of course, along with this, the accuracy of bombing will drop a lot.
Looking down from a height of 5,500 meters, the Devil's aircraft carrier Xianghe is only a little larger than an ant.
But in order to protect the bombers and the pilots on the bombers, Wang Hexin had to do the same.
And this was also done with Li Yunlong's permission.
The mission can be completed best, and the most important thing is that all the flight crew members should go back with a lot of people.
The effective combat altitude of the Zero fighter is 5 kilometers, and the ultimate altitude is 6,500 meters.
As long as the bomber can fly to an altitude of more than 7 kilometers, it can effectively evade the attack of the Zero fighter.
At this time, the Devil fighters such as the Xianghe and the Snow Wind, as well as the Devil anti-aircraft guns deployed in the military port, began to fire at the bombers of the Eighth Route Army at high altitude.
From time to time, shells exploded around, raising black smoke.
But it's a pity that the devil's anti-aircraft fire is really stretched, and it is impossible to carry out an effective attack on bombers at this altitude.
"Bomb dropping!"
The bombardiers lined up in battle formation aimed at the devil's battleship, and then opened the magazine one after another to drop the super aerial bomb under the belly of the plane.
In the first wave of attacks, at an altitude of 5,500 meters, 8 goblet bombs were dropped.
Immediately, the pilots of these bombers immediately pulled the bombers upward, and the bombardiers used binoculars to observe and watch the bombs dropped by them, and controlled the gyroscopes to correct the trajectory of the falling goblet aerial bombs.
"Boom!"
The first super aerial bomb fell into the sea from a position of several tens of meters on the right flank of the aircraft carrier Xianghe.
Arima Masamune Daisa and the devil navy looked at the rapidly falling aerial bomb, and they were really taken a big jump just now.
Because this seemingly large aerial bomb came directly at the deck of the aircraft carrier and almost hit the deck.
"Dud?"
After the aerial bomb fell into the sea, it did not explode.
But in the next second.
"Boom!"
With the sound of explosions that shook the mountains and mountains, a huge column of water dozens of meters high rose into the sky, and then the sea goddess fell down like a flower, sprinkling the devil navy soldiers.
Arima Zhengwen's pupils shrank, and the powerful aerial bomb was so powerful!
He held up his binoculars and looked, although the Zero fighter took off on the deck at a fast pace, more than 10 Zero fighters had already taken to the air.
But.
It took more than 7 minutes for the Zero fighter to climb to an altitude of six thousand meters.
"Here we go again!"
A devil navy soldier next to him shouted in horror.
Arima Masato immediately raised the telescope to look, only to see another super-large aerial bomb falling rapidly in the sky.
But judging from the direction in which the super-large aerial bomb fell, it seems that it could not hit the aircraft carrier Xianghe.
"Nani?"
But soon, Arima Masa's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly found that this aerial bomb actually changed the trajectory of the fall, and turned around in the air and smashed down on the aircraft carrier Xianghe.
"Yaga!"
Arima Zhengwen Dazuo's face changed greatly, and he suddenly roared, and at the same time fell to the ground:
"Prepare for the shock!"
But.
This aerial bomb still did not hit the aircraft carrier Xianghe, but it hit a light cruiser not far away, and in the huge explosion, the light cruiser was blown up by the waist.
Seeing this scene, Arima Masa, Dazuo and the devil navy's faces changed drastically, and their expressions were solemn.
Seeing this scene, the Snowwind and the other cruisers' devil anti-aircraft guns opened fire even harder.
"The third bomb is coming!"
Looking at the black dots that were rapidly attacking from the heights, there were devils who exclaimed loudly.
"Boom!"
This time, the devil's Xianghe aircraft carrier was not so lucky.
The third goblet bomb hit the flight deck of the aircraft carrier Xianghe directly, burrowed into the interior of the aircraft carrier Xianghe, and made an earth-shattering loud noise.
In the loud explosion and the flames of the explosion, the aircraft carrier Xianghe was almost blown off by the waist, and the blown up anti-aircraft gun turret flew 3 kilometers away, almost hitting another devil's warship.
This shell was dropped by Zhou Zikai.
The fourth aerial bomb did not hit the aircraft carrier Devil Xianghe, but the fifth aerial bomb hit the tail, and there was another earth-shattering bang, and the aircraft carrier was almost blown into three.
The devils on the aircraft carrier suddenly suffered heavy casualties and directly lost their ability to attack the air.
Several goblet bombs in the back also failed to hit the Devil Shozuru, but the bombs created a huge shock wave near the Shozuru, causing the aircraft carrier's hull to bend and begin to capsize.
Similarly, there were crew members of the Eighth Route Army who carried cameras and cameras to record this scene.
High in the air.
The Devil's pilot is climbing up in a Zero fighter.
But looking at the aircraft carrier Xianghe, which was hit by a bullet on the sea and ignited a fire and thick smoke, the devil pilots were stunned for a moment, their faces full of disbelief, and their expressions were sad and indignant.
"Nani?"
The enemy is at an altitude of five or six thousand meters, and the aerial bombs dropped can also hit the aircraft carrier?
How is this possible?
