Chapter 1141 Air Strike Operation
"Old Xue, do you think the commander made a big fuss?" Xia Quanyong, commander of the Second Air Division, looked at the Japanese supply fleet not far away, and said loudly in the public channel.

It is not an exaggeration to say that 60 new fighters are dealing with such a fleet with only three main battleships.

Xue Changkong ignored him, but calmly began to issue orders.Under his dispatch, 24 Baiji and 24 other medium-sized bombers separated to the two sides, and 12 aerial fortresses rumbled towards the Japanese ship.

"What a big plane!" On the Japanese ship, the devils who witnessed this scene looked at the rapidly approaching air fortress cluster, and many people exclaimed in despair.

Before the swarm of enemy planes appeared, Chengshang still held a sliver of hope in his heart—he believed that the sudden appearance of the enemy plane might be on a reconnaissance or cruise mission. was attacked.When dense fighter planes appeared in the northern airspace, his heart beat wildly, and his emotions became hysterical because of despair.

"Is that the sky fortress of the Chinese people?" Sakurai murmured as he looked up at the 12 enemy planes approaching the fleet first.

"Order all the ships to prepare for battle and attack at all costs..." Chengshang stood at the door of the captain's room and roared at the signal soldiers. In his roar, the signal soldiers frantically waved semaphore.Then, the ships began to move.

Just as the Japanese ships were about to disperse, Xue Changkong had already given the order to attack.Immediately, the twelve sky fortresses lowered their fuselages, and began to press down on the supply fleet below in a Mount Tai style.

Of the supply ships organized by Kobayashi, the largest tonnage is only about 1 tons, while the smallest tonnage is only [-] tons.Among them, there are nearly [-] merchant ships he temporarily recruited.

The Japanese navy has dominated the South China Sea for a long time. Relying on the powerful force of its own navy, Japanese merchant sailors never thought that any country or organization would dare to attack them.When the Taiwan Governor's Mansion's call-up order was delivered, the merchant ship, from the boss to the sailors, was all proud and proud of being able to contribute to the country. Now, when the scythe of death has been placed on their necks, this huge psychological contrast It made a lot of people feel heartbroken, they ran back and forth on the ship like ants on a hot pot, or pointlessly raised the small naval guns that were originally used for naval battles...

"Shhh—" One Sky Fortress after another opened the belly magazine door, and immediately, hundreds of bombs fell down like a hailstorm.

In order to increase the accuracy of bombing as much as possible, the Sky Fortress dropped from a cruising altitude of 8000 meters to about 3000 meters before it began to drop bombs. At an altitude of 3000 meters, nearly 12 bombs dropped by [-] sky fortresses instantly set off a tsunami in the sea area where the supply fleet was located.

The sound of "rumbling" explosions sounded one after another, and huge mushroom-shaped fireballs rose from the ships that were directly hit. Suddenly it tilted up, and soon, only the bow of the ship was exposed on the sea.

During this round of bombing, one of the three escort ships was hit by four bombs. Many devils were torn to pieces.Then, in the continuous explosion, one-third of the ship's air defense armament was destroyed, and the control system was damaged, losing the ability to turn.

Compared with this unlucky frigate, the "Jago" was much luckier. Although it was hit by a bomb, it only lost one anti-aircraft machine gun and three devils.

A round of bombing by 12 aerial fortresses sank [-] supply ships, including the largest tonnage merchant ship "Xu Mo" originally used to carry coal.In this round of bombing, only three small merchant ships were almost unharmed.

Nineteen supply ships sank slowly, and hundreds of devils struggled on the burning sea.

12 aerial fortresses flew over the burning sea, Xue Changkong observed the results carefully, and said in the public channel: "It's not ideal, it's only achieved this little result."

Fang Jiyun, the captain of the Second Brigade of the First Air Division, continued: "Master, what you said is a bit too much! You can't just let us make a trip for nothing because of your own happiness?"

Xue Changkong laughed loudly, and said, "Okay, let's see what you guys do next. Don't talk fiercely, show some real skills."

"Hey, look at it!"

After the 12 aerial fortresses dropped their bombs, except for the 0008 piloted by Xue Changkong who served as the command plane, the other 11 began to return.Immediately after them, 24 baiji scattered in twos, and began to conduct precision strikes around the "Kago" and two other battleships.

Each Baiji carried only two bombs, and these fifty-pound bombs had little ability to directly sink any of the ships below.Therefore, their main combat mission is to smash the air defense capabilities of the three capital ships through machine gun and machine gun shooting, and create a safe environment for the bombing cluster behind to carry out dive precision bombing.

In the round of bombing just now, nearly a quarter of the nearly fifty anti-aircraft weapons of the three capital ships were damaged, and the remaining ones were not enough to completely block the airspace on one side.

24 Baiji dolphins shuttled back and forth, and swooped down once they found a gap in the anti-aircraft artillery fire.The two machine guns and one machine gun equipped on the fighter plane fire at the same time, and often a single dive can kill all the devils in an air defense position.In this way, the battle lasted for about 5 minutes. Although most of the air defense armaments on these capital ships were intact, there was a serious shortage of soldiers. Many battle positions were not replenished, and some sailors and even officers began to devote themselves to the battle.

One after another, the fighter planes shone silver in the sun and shuttled back and forth, looking from a distance as if a flock of seagulls were looking for eating opportunities around the fish-flooded sea.

So far, the battle has been going well, and none of the fighters were even injured.But after counting the time, Xue Changkong became impatient. He suddenly shouted, "Fang Jiyun? Can you do it? It's been 10 minutes? If you can't solve the battle in 15 minutes, drop the bomb and go back!"

Among the 60 fighters, 12 sky fortresses and 24 new bombers of various types have the longest time in the air, while the time of the 24 Baiji dolphins is relatively shorter.And considering that they have been adopting frequent maneuvers in combat, which will increase fuel consumption, Xue Changkong had to limit their combat time in order to avoid an oolong incident in which they could not return to Baiyunshan Airport due to exhaustion of fuel.

Fang Jiyun was obviously greatly stimulated by Xue Changkong's words, and he yelled, "Brothers, did you hear what the teacher said, show me your housekeeping skills! We only have 5 minutes."

On the "Kako", Narumi Jogami and Tetsuaki Sakurai were worried that the towering bridge target would become the priority target of enemy planes, so they all moved to the deck to command the battle.

Under the continuous attack of 24 Baiji dolphins, the air defense personnel were severely damaged. Knowing that as long as they persisted for a while, the enemy plane would have to return due to lack of fuel. Narumi Jogami and Tetsuaki Sakurai had already rushed to the air defense battle position.The two people plus an adjutant on the city personally operated a pair of 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and the city himself was responsible for aiming and shooting. He frantically pulled the trigger while shouting something, completely looking like a desperate murderer.

"Your Excellency, left, left!" Sakurai suddenly screamed.

He had just shot a baiji in the city and "ran away" (his own feeling), and immediately turned the gun around when he heard that, and then, he had just found the target that Sakurai reminded him with his sights, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shot down. For a moment, he was hit by more than a dozen bullets in the chest, and the whole person flew backwards...

Fifteen minutes passed, and groups of baiji dolphins had to leave the battlefield one after another.Fang Jiyun didn't know that the round of shooting he had just killed killed the commander of the supply fleet, so when he suddenly realized that the bomb hadn't been dropped, he regretted it too late, and repeatedly sighed: "Grandma, it's a shame! Big hair."

The 24 Baiji did not achieve the task assigned before the war - to completely destroy the air defense armament of the capital ship. However, compared with the 24 bombers, the only remaining ten air defense weapons on the three Japanese ships that can still maintain a fighting state , but it is not enough to pose any threat to Wang Yong and the others.

After 10 minutes passed, as the ammunition bay of the "Kako" was ignited by an explosion that penetrated the armor, the "cooking off" operation was over.

In the battle, 46 of 31 Japanese ships were bombed and sunk on the spot, and five more sank in the following days.In the end, only one armed supply ship of more than [-] tons arrived in Hainan Island.
