Chapter 34: The Last Flagship of the Combined Fleet

In the sky off the coast of Wu City, a lonely 96 warship was struggling to climb towards a higher airspace.

Hearing a huge explosion from the sea, the HNA pilot seemed to realize something terrible, and then turned his head sharply to look down.

"Masaka! How is this possible! ”

In the devil's field of vision, the entire Fengxiang was already shrouded in smoke and flames.

Based on the current tragic situation, it is speculated that the aircraft carrier will be swallowed by the icy sea water for a few more minutes at most, and finally disappear like a bubble without a trace.

With such serious damage, I am afraid that after the war, there will be no need to even salvage the wreckage of the ship.

As soon as he thought of this, the face of the devil pilot was instantly filled with despair and remorse.

"I knew I should have submitted an application to the Akagi to be a member of the carrier-based fighter detachment over there. It's really not good, Xiangfeng is also a good choice! ”

"But if I can be transferred away at the beginning of the year, how can I encounter such an unbelievable thing!"

If the above is heard, the captain of the Mutsu, Yamasumi Sadajiro, the two may have a feeling of sympathy.

It's a pity that even if they can change the ship to take office, they can't change the fate of the ending, at best, they just choose a way to die.

After muttering to himself and expressing the bitterness in his heart, the devil pilot quickly adjusted his mentality and pushed the rudder, preparing to break into the opponent's formation alone.

That's right, this guy really didn't plan to run away.

Although he could fly to the anchorage of Zhudao in the southeast for an emergency landing, the accountability of the commander and the top management of the HNA after the incident was definitely not a pressure that he could withstand as a mere lieutenant.

Adhering to the principle of early death and early superlife and escapism, the last survivor on the Fengxiang aircraft carrier launched a suicidal attack on the mosquito group not far away.

"It's dark! Onboard! ”

······

The beautiful scenery of the explosion of the semi-armor-piercing aerial bomb was naturally seen by the comrades on standby.

Looking at the raging Fengxiang, the faces of all the soldiers were full of excitement and joy that could not be concealed, and everyone was clenching their fists and secretly applauding.

"The fifth group sinks the target!"

"Repeat, Group Five! Sink the enemy aircraft carrier! ”

As soon as these words came out, the communication channel of the 1st Air Force Division suddenly exploded, and everyone sent their blessings to the meritorious crew.

Listening to the boiling cheers on the radio, the combat hero Zhao Baotong did not open his mouth to spoil the fun at the first time, but listened silently with a smile on his aunt's face.

In a peaceful era without war, the young men in his team who were just in their early twenties would probably still be carefree college students.

Nowadays, it is normal to take out an enemy aircraft carrier and not be able to control the situation in your heart.

However, considering that the operation was not completely over, he first counted in his mind for half a minute, and then ordered his comrades in the communication channel:

"Crew with cameras, take pictures of our results, and don't forget to record films. When we get home, they're all the best promotional materials. ”

"Navigator, take your crew and look for the cruiser Oyodo. The ship was not very well finished, and should now be hiding in a dockyard. ”

"By the way, and submarines, don't let those damn underwater villains go. Once they are successfully completed, our navy will be in trouble. ”

"Roger!"

The shipyard in Kure is mainly tasked with developing and producing a range of combat units such as battleships, cruisers and submarines for the Combined Fleet.

The Yamato and the most famous surface ships were built here.

In mainstream military thought, such an operation against the enemy's shipyards has a low priority.

After all, based on the current level of craftsmanship in the book, it often takes three to four years to build a medium and large surface ship.

In the case of an undecided battle, it is obviously a very cost-effective arrangement to use the surprise attack opportunity that is not easy to find to destroy the enemy's unformed combat power.

Of course, if there are ships in the dockyard that are about to be completed, then this is a different matter.

The main purpose of the deputy general staff officer and others in arranging for the comrades of the 1st and 3rd Air Divisions to attack Kure Gang and Zhudao was to protect their own navy, which was still in its infancy, as well as the new military region that had just been established.

If his base camp is attacked, there is a high probability that the devil navy will put pressure on the coastal areas.

Although the Eighth Route Army is no longer the current bitter haha, the bigwigs don't want to fight with the army and navy at the same time in 1942.

As long as the enemy's idle fleet and submarine forces can be wiped out in advance, then it will naturally be able to gain valuable time for the development of the new services and military districts.

What's more, the Chinese have a very classic saying, called to come. We've traveled thousands of miles, and we've only come here once, so we must leave some gifts.

With the idea of taking revenge and winning glory for the country, the comrades of the 1st Air Force Division drove their respective fighters to the skies above the coastline of Kure Harbor.

"Discover the target! Start the offensive or not! ”

Hearing the energetic report in the communication channel, the combat hero Zhao Baotong immediately came to his senses.

When he just attacked the Fengxiang, in order to train the young soldiers in the formation, and also to avoid robbing this rare military feat, he did not choose to lead the team to dive at the first time.

After all, an enemy aircraft carrier in a mobile state is a rarity no matter what era it is.

Let the comrades launch an offensive is more or less a precautionary measure, and the first wave of talent for the future naval aviation.

But that's no longer the case.

The cruiser Oyodo will indeed become the last flagship of the Combined Fleet in the future, but no one knows about it now.

Even if he personally destroys her, he will not rob a comrade of the credit.

What's more, bombing a warship that cannot move is actually no different from the daily bombing training in the aviation school in the border area, and naturally it will not play a role in training.

After his thoughts were clear, Zhao Baotong took the initiative to speak in the communication channel:

"The old rule, two planes in a group, launch a dive bombardment on the enemy's dock! I'll go first, and the rest of the crew will wait for my orders! (End of chapter)
