Chapter 1071: Intercept and kill Yamamoto Seven and Eight!
Although the radar performance of the devils in World War II is very stretched.
However, during World War II, the radar performance of the US Navy was still very advanced.
Moreover, the US Navy has set up many lookout posts and observation posts along the coast of the islands.
In order to avoid complications, this flight combat mission must be more cautious.
But fortunately, Boss Chen provided detailed information.
These detailed intelligence materials demarcated the radar range of the Devil and the Mi Army, as well as the location of the lookout posts and observation posts of the Devil and the Mi Army on the coastline.
Based on these detailed intelligence information, Wang Hexin and Li Shaorong formulated a perfect flight plan.
Arguably.
Without Boss Chen's intelligence and technical support, Li Yunlong would not have been able to complete the task of killing Yamamoto's seventh and eighth generals.
I don't even know the itinerary information of the old devil Yamamoto.
The ground staff and engineers of the Eighth Route Carrier do the final aircraft overhaul, fuel and ammunition checks.
Soon.
The time came to 7:25.
"Let's go!"
With the order given.
Wang Hexin and Li Shaorong, as well as a group of ace elite pilots, got into the jet carrier-based aircraft one after another.
The flight deck of the eight-way Yunlong ship adopts a new design, and the whole deck forms three operation areas of landing, take-off and standby, which can take off and land at the same time.
And!
The take-off of the carrier-based aircraft is a steam catapult, which is coordinated with the four elevators on the side to greatly improve the take-off efficiency.
In less than three minutes, all 15 carrier-based jet fighters of the Eighth Route Army had taken off.
As the ace and elite pilot of the Eighth Route Army, every pilot took off on the deck this time, and every pilot was smooth and perfect, as if tempered by a thousand tempers.
When training at Boss Chen's military base.
Each pilot has undergone extensive carrier deck landing and take-off training.
Captain Song and the crew of the Eighth Route looked in the direction where the carrier-based aircraft had left, and saluted solemnly.
It wasn't until the fighter formation disappeared from view that the fighters lowered their hands and withdrew their gaze.
……
At the same time.
Guadalcanal.
Mi Army Henderson Airport.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air.
On the runway of the airport, 18 P38 Lightning fighters of the 330th Group of the United States Air Force were neatly arranged on the secondary runway, ready to attack.
Rear Admiral Mitchell wore a long-tongued combat cap and a bronzed face, staring at the fighter plane that was about to take off.
Then, Mitchell glanced at the handsome young men who were about to leave, and said in a fierce tone:
"On December 7, 1941, I hope that all the people of the United States will remember that day, because that day is the day of national shame for our United States!"
"On that day, 4 of our warships were sunk by the devils, and 3 of our warships were damaged by the devils!"
"More than 2,000 of our comrades-in-arms were killed and more than 1,000 were wounded!"
"And the initiator of all this is none other than the commander of the Devil Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Shichihachi!"
Not surprisingly, as soon as Major General Mitchell's words fell, the pilots standing in two rows opposite immediately became excited.
"Kill Yamamoto Shichihachi!"
"Kill all the little devils!"
「……」
Looking at the pilots whose emotions were aroused, Rear Admiral Mitchell showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
It's good, there is no pilot timidity, everyone is good.
Major General Mitchell glanced at his watch, 7:30.
"At this time, that old devil from Yamamoto is already in the air."
Major Mitchell will continue to give orders in a fierce tone:
"Let's go, boys, let's kill Yamamoto and avenge Pearl Harbor!"
With the order of Major General Mitchell was given.
P38 Lightning fighters, laden with fuel and ammunition, took off one after another.
However, two P38 fighter jets malfunctioned and failed to take off, and only 10 of the planned 12 aircraft took off.
……
The clock quickly came two hours later.
That's 9:30 a.m.
The Japanese flight formation has come to the sky over an island.
Yamamoto looked down from a height of 2,000 meters, and below was a lush rainforest.
The gray-haired Yamamoto sat in a precarious position, wearing white gloves in both hands, holding the general's sword given by the Locust Emperor, and carrying three gold cherry blossoms on his epaulettes.
At this time, Yamamoto Nanhachi's face showed a leisurely look.
He recalled the battles he had commanded the Japanese Navy and the United States Navy in the past few years.
Although the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor failed to completely destroy the Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy, it also gave the other side great trauma.
Immediately, the Japanese army and navy attacked Southeast Asia, and the Anglo-Milane forces in Southeast Asia had no support, and were beaten by the locust army and lost their armor.
As a result, the locust army obtained a large number of oil fields and strategic materials such as rubber, as well as occupied millions of square kilometers of land.
It was a glorious moment.
But everyone has glory for a while, don't take a moment as permanent.
Just as Yamamoto Shichihachi planned a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor worried, the real strength of the Mi Army lies in its strong industrial strength.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Mi army did not return to the negotiating table as expected, but chose to stand up to the Japanese army.
And the war potential of the United States was completely stimulated, and the warships went down into the sea like dumplings.
Thereupon.
Yamamoto planned Operation Midway to further destroy the Mi fleet so that the Japanese Navy could concentrate on consolidating its defenses in the Pacific island chain.
The process of developing the battle plan for the Battle of Midway was fraught with compromise and haste.
But in Yamamoto's opinion at the time, the plan itself was quite thorough, well-organized, and the timing was well managed.
The Japanese army planned to put into the decisive battle 4 fleet aircraft carriers, 2 light aircraft carriers, 11 battleships, 16 cruisers and 46 destroyers, but the US Navy was able to get only 3 aircraft carriers, 8 cruisers and 15 destroyers, which shows the huge disparity in strength.
When Yamamoto formulated the battle plan, he looked at the disparity in strength between the two sides, and said in his heart: The advantage is mine.
If nothing else, Yamamoto will have a huge advantage in one fell swoop.
If nothing else, the unexpected will happen right away.
Because the U.S. Navy deciphered the Japanese Navy's D code and completely mastered the Japanese Navy's battle plan, coupled with the erroneous command of Nagumo Tadaichi, a pig teammate.
In the Battle of Midway, Japan lost 4 aircraft carriers, 1 heavy cruiser, 322 aircraft and 3,500 officers and men, and 1 battleship and 2 destroyers were damaged.
Of course, the defeat at the Battle of Midway was not enough to put the Japanese Navy at a disadvantage.
In the next few naval battles, Yamamoto gradually felt that something was wrong.
In particular, in the Battle of Kuah Island, the Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat with a casualty ratio of 10 to 1, which made Yamamoto know that he must fight quickly and destroy the main force of the US Navy as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if such a cruel war of attrition continues, the locust army will be defeated.
At this time, the Japanese Navy could only be on the defensive.
So at this time, Yamamoto Shichihachi decided to inspect the Rabaul military base to boost the morale of the front-line troops.
The results of this inspection were very encouraging, and the aviation units of the Rabaul military base were stimulated and their combat effectiveness soared.
Several air raids destroyed more than 50 warships and more than 300 aircraft of the US Navy.
The navies of New Guinea and Kuah are all about that.
Seeing that the effect of his inspection of the troops was so obvious, Yamamoto Shichihachi stubbornly decided to inspect all the front-line bases to improve the morale and combat effectiveness of all the troops!
Then, in one fell swoop, defeat the main force of the United States Navy and seize the island of Kuah and New Guinea.
From then on, it was time to attack and defend the aliens!
Thinking of defeating the Pacific Fleet as soon as possible, Yamamoto Shichihachi looked forward to this visit to the front-line military base more and more.
With a smile on his face, Yamamoto Nanhachi looked at the accompanying staff officer Osa, and asked, "Where are you?"
Staff Officer Osa, too, didn't know, so he went to ask the navigator, and then returned to Nanahachi Yamamoto and replied, "General, we've arrived on Bougainville."
At this time, Yamamoto Nanoha and several staff officers were on the No. 1 plane, escorted by 3 Zero fighters.
Yamamoto Shibachi's chief of staff, Lieutenant General Yu Hengtang, and several other staff officers were on the No. 2 plane, which was also escorted by three Zero fighters.
After a pause, Staff Officer Daisaku continued, "There are about 15 minutes left to reach Buin Airport."
"Yo Si."
Yamamoto nodded with satisfaction.
After having lunch at Bouin Airport and inspecting the troops, we will take a 15-minute flight to Shortland Island, the final destination of the trip.
In the past few days, Yamamoto has not been idle, and has already begun to formulate an operational plan and emergency plan for the elimination of the last navy of the United States.
In this operation, he not only personally formulated the battle plan and emergency plan, but also prepared to go to the front line to command the locust army and navy to fight.
He is on the front line, and he will be able to inspire all the officers and men to defeat the US Navy in one fell swoop and complete the turnaround.
This is a battle of national fortunes.
Yamamoto was a little excited when he thought about it.
The fighter formation of the United States had also arrived over the rainforest on Bougainville Island at this time, arriving at the intended location about 50 seconds earlier than expected.
Lieutenant Ranfil, who served as the leader of the attack group, was the first to discover the flying formation of the devils.
Lieutenant Ranfil exclaimed excitedly over the radio channel, "Hey, what do I see?"
"Lanfil, you idiot, you have to be silent during flight, do you want to go to court-martial?"
Major Michel, the leader of the cover group, was concentrating on searching for the devil flying formation, and a sharp voice sounded in the headset, and he immediately replied with some unhappiness.
"Wait, did you find a target?"
In the next second, Major Michelle's voice sounded again in the channel, and his tone was full of impatience.
"That's right, sir!" Lanfil said loudly, "The target was found at 10 o'clock, two Type 1 land attack aircraft, escorted by 6 fighters, it was the Zero!"
"Sure enough, it was, like an agreed party, and it came as promised."
Major Michelle, according to the direction indicated by Lanfil, quickly spotted the devil flying formation.
At this time, the devil's flight formation obviously had not yet discovered the Mi Army formation.
"Go according to the plan." Major Michelle immediately gave the radio an order, "The cover group follows me."
Major Michel piloted the P38 fighter, and together with the other 5 P38 fighters, immediately pulled the plane gradually to an altitude of 3,000 meters to lure the devil's escort fighters.
"The attack team is coming with me, send a secret! Secret!"
Lanfil also gave the order on the radio channel, leading four fighters to quickly reduce altitude.
After the cover group lures away the devil's fighters.
Lanfeier's attack group suddenly rushed out from below, killing the two Type 1 attack planes of the devils.
It was well planned.
……
But at this time.
An interception formation of 15 jet fighters of the Eighth Route Army also arrived.
Wang Hexin, the leader of the cover group, took the lead in discovering the flying formation of the devil.
"Spot the target 30 degrees in front of the left!"
Immediately, Wang and Xin looked overjoyed, and said loudly in surprise on the radio.
Yamamoto seven or eight, this old devil really appeared, and it was in vain that they crossed six or seven thousand kilometers and rushed to intercept!
In this air interception, the air force units of the Eighth Route Army were also divided into a cover group and an attack group.
6 fighters in the cover group, led by Wang Hexin; The attack group consisted of 7 fighters, with Li Shaorong as the leader.
Two other pilots were responsible for filming and leaving evidence.
The pilots of the Eighth Route Army looked towards the location conveyed by Wang Hexin, and sure enough, they saw the flying formation of the devils.
At this time, two Type 1 attack planes with plaster icons on their black fuselages flapped their wings and sped forward under the escort of six Zero fighters.
"The cover group covers, the attack team follows me!"
Li Shaorong, the leader of the attack group, laughed fiercely and gave an order in a fierce tone on the radio.
"Wait, there's another plane!"
But the next moment, the voice of an elite pilot sounded:
"The upper right and lower right of the devil formation, two aircraft formations have been found!"
Li Shaorong and Wang Hexin raised their binoculars to look, and sure enough, above and below the devil's flying formation, they found two formations.
"It's the U.S. Air Force, they arrived before us, and they're ready to do it!"
Wang Hexin said on the radio in a hurried tone.
Once the rice guys kill Yamamoto Seven or Eight, their trip will be in vain, and the business of killing the devil admiral will be gone.
"Oh yes!"
Li Shaorong scolded:
"Don't be tactical, go full throttle, the attack team is responsible for the one on the right, and the cover group is responsible for the one on the left."
"You must kill Yamamoto in front of the rice guys!"
"Anyone who dares to stand in the way will be killed!"
In a word, Yamamoto Seven Eight can only be killed by our Eighth Route Army!
The rice guy is not easy to make.
Time is pressing, and Li Shaorong can only make a long story short.
But fortunately, all pilots can understand Li Shaorong's words.
The attack group is responsible for taking out the Devil 1 bomber on the right, and the cover group is responsible for taking out the Devil 1 bomber on the left.
Yamamoto Shichihachi, the old devil, must be on one of these two Type 1 bombers.
As he spoke, the fighters had quickly changed their flight formations and approached the flight formations of the devils at high speed.
……
At the same time.
Japanese flight formations.
The pilot of Yamamoto's seven- or eight-seater Devil No. 1 was cautiously piloting a land bomber.
In the engine room behind sat the Navy's No. 2 man, Admiral Yamamoto Shichiba, so he couldn't be careless.
Yamamoto is the soul of the Combined Fleet, and his safety is definitely a top priority.
Suddenly.
The pilot of the Devil No. 1 saw an unusual movement of an escort Zero fighter.
The escorting Zero fighters suddenly broke away from the flight formation, and actually jumped in front of the bombers with one acceleration.
And the Zero fighter also swung its wings at him, while the pilot pointed to his right rear.
The pilot of the Devil No. 1 looked in the direction pointed by the pilot of the Zero fighter, and his heart suddenly sank.
I saw several US planes P-38 chasing after me quickly, about 500 meters higher than the No. 1 plane.
At this time, the pilot of Devil No. 1 didn't have time to think about it at all, and immediately operated the lifting lever to descend urgently.
The six Zero fighters escorting the escort pulled the control stick to climb quickly and rushed into the flight formation of the Mi army.
Da Da...
Tom tom ...
The sound of cannon and machine gun shells rang out, and tracer bullets fired by fighters on both sides flew in the air like the long whip of death.
The bite of the Devil Zero fighters was the 6 P38 fighters of the Michel cover group.
"Nani?"
At the same time.
In the cabin of the Devil No. 1 plane, it felt that the bomber was descending rapidly, and hearing the sound of machine guns and machine guns coming from the side and back, Yamamoto's face changed suddenly:
"What happened?"
"Shogun, no
Panic."
Staff Officer Osa's gaze retracted from the plexiglass, and immediately reported to Yamamoto Nanhachi:
"There are 6 Mi Army fighters, but the Locust Army's Zero fighters have already gone to intercept them."
"That's good."
Nanabachi Yamamoto quickly regained his composure, but he still felt very bad in his heart.
The appearance of Mi Army fighters here, has his itinerary been exposed?
……
Just when Yamamoto was in a nervous mood.
The position is more than 800 meters below the back of the Devil No. 1 machine.
Seeing that the Zero fighter had been successfully seduced out of the devil flying formation, Lieutenant Lanfil couldn't help but look happy.
"Enough, enough, enough!"
Lieutenant Lanfil led the attack group to quickly climb and fly towards Yamamoto Shichihachi's No. 1 plane.
He was followed by his wingman, Lieutenant Babar, and the second detachment leader, Lieutenant Moore, and his wingman, Lieutenant McLanahan.
It didn't take long for Lieutenant Ranfil to lead the attack group to approach Yamamoto's No. 1 aircraft at great speed.
At this time, the pilots of Yamamoto's seven or eight Zero escort fighters also spotted the Mi fighters that were quietly climbing, and they were all shocked.
The Devil Zero fighter swooped down with all his might, trying to protect General Yamamoto's No. 1 plane, but was bitten by the Mi fighter and couldn't get over it in a short time.
"Yamamoto, go see God!"
Lieutenant Lanfil shouted excitedly over the radio as the main engine he piloted approached Yamamoto's No. 1 aircraft.
The devil's bomber was like a target in front of the Mi fighter without fighter escort.
Lieutenant Ranfil was able to fire at the Devil Bomber as soon as he adjusted the firing angle.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
I saw that several tracer ballistics suddenly appeared in front of me, like the whip of death, winding towards the devil's No. 1 landline, and in the next second, the dense sound of "tom tom tom" machine guns also reached Lieutenant Lanfeier's ears.
These tracer ballistics nearly hit his precious landline.
"Fack! Who's firing?"
There was no time to adjust the angle to shoot the devil's No. 1 landline, and he didn't even have time to check the situation of the devil's No. 1 landline, Lieutenant Lanfil scolded while urgently pulling the joystick to evade, and he thought that it was the wingman who fired first.
