Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 781 Broken Wing Ningbo
At 06:30 in the morning, Quzhou Airport, together with nearby buildings, anti-aircraft artillery positions, oil depots, and barracks, had become a sea of ​​flames.If you add the power plant not far away, within three square kilometers around Quzhou Airport, the fire is raging and the smoke is soaring into the sky, which is a scene of desolation.

Compared with thousands of other Japanese soldiers, Major Kawaguchi was undoubtedly lucky, because after more than half an hour of bombing, he was just licked away by the fire in the downstairs of the pilot dormitory in the airport Just some hairs.Of course, from another perspective, he is also the most unfortunate, because this situation is more unacceptable to him than death.Sometimes, the seemingly innocent death is not a bad thing.

When the United Fleet suffered heavy damage from the air strikes, Kawaguchi had just been transferred to Quzhou Airport. When he first heard the news, he believed the propaganda of the base camp for granted, thinking that it was malicious slander by the Chinese, and it was definitely a rumor.It's not just because of the general arrogance and short-sightedness of the current Japanese. In fact, what the combined fleet symbolizes is the highest military power of the empire.Based on Kawaguchi's understanding: In front of the United Fleet, let alone hundreds of fighter planes, even if all three armies of the army, sea, air and army are sent out, it will not take much advantage, right?What is the strength of the United Fleet? There are six battleships alone, including two Yamato-class giant battleships with a main gun diameter of 460 mm.Although due to various reasons, there were only two Nagato-class battleships accompanying them at the time, but that was not something the Chinese could deal with—

It is not surprising that Kawaguchi had such an idea. In fact, all Japanese at that time, whether they were members of the military, the so-called anti-war alliance, or ordinary people, all held this view.

As a rank-and-file officer, it is not difficult to break through the blockade of the base camp and obtain real battle reports. After obtaining the confirmation from the senior officer, the first thing Kawaguchi thought of was not the strength of the student army, but the reason at that time. Combined Fleet Commander Minai Mitsumasa.It is believed that it was the mentality of the "Three Musketeers" of the Navy headed by Mitsumasa Minai to compromise with China that caused the tragedy.

When the Japanese launched the war of aggression against China, there was not only one voice in the government from beginning to end.In order to gain the support of the people and even the government, the Japanese are used to reporting good news but not bad news. In this way, their blockade of failure information ultimately just fooled themselves.

Kawaguchi was undoubtedly one of those who were fooled. Therefore, he has always looked down on the Chinese army, and he has only a few impressions of the Xuebing Army.In this way, when the Xuebing Army Air Force showed its super strength in this air strike and shattered his sense of superiority of the Yamato nation in one fell swoop, he seemed to have been struck by a thunder, and he was stunned all of a sudden.

The two Falcon fighters were Kawaguchi's last hope. When the two Falcon fighters each shot down an enemy plane, he once had this fantasy: the two Falcon fighters were like Amaterasu possessed, one shot left and one right shot Suddenly, the Chinese fighter planes in the sky fell down like dumplings.Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Although the two Falcons are very brave, it is a pity that the first school is like a primary school student fighting an adult. The opponent cannot cause effective damage.

Kawaguchi looked up and saw that the somewhat huge China fighter plane was hit by the Sasaki ship, and there were sparks on the fuselage. He was so excited that he wanted to shout loudly, but he opened his mouth but couldn't close it.After the Chinese fighter plane blew up the Falcon in front, it pulled up as if nothing had happened, then performed a beautiful flip, turned its nose to face the Sasaki ship, and the blow it received just now failed to cause it any damage. harm.

"How could this happen? The Type 5 fighter is our newest fighter!" Kawaguchi murmured, and then looked helplessly and painfully at the fighter piloted by Sasaki Taijiu being chased by three China fighter planes like a wild pheasant. Fighting, after persisting for [-] minutes, finally because the left wing was blown off, he fell headlong in a whirl.But the nasty Chinese still refused to let go, one of the fighters chased after it, fired several shots in a row, and directly smashed the Falcon into the air.

Kawaguchi had no memory of what happened after that, and when the devil soldiers in Quzhou City came to find him, the devils found sadly that Major Kawaguchi had gone mad.He murmured inwardly: "God Amaterasu has possessed him, shot left and right..." He didn't know what he wanted to express.

The air attack on Quzhou Airport was the most successful. The Xuebing Army only lost three fighter planes in this battle and blew up all 47 Japanese planes parked at Quzhou Airport to pieces, and also wiped out 78 Japanese pilots.The battle between Xiaoshan Airport and Ningbo Airport was much more intense. In the battle over Ningbo Airport, the Xuebing Army suffered a big loss. Of the 44 fighters dispatched, in addition to two air fortresses, there were four Xue-1 fighters. , All other old-fashioned fighter jets and bombers were shot down. In this battle, the number of pilots lost reached 37.When the news was sent back to the Baiyunshan Air Force Command, Tie Linfei's first reaction was to freeze in place, without speaking for a long time.

"Commander in Chief," Tie Linfei later reported the news to Ouyang Yun with tears in his eyes.

At that time, Ouyang Yun and Ji Xingwen were in the Army Staff Headquarters watching the staff lay out war chess.He heard Tie Linfei's strange accent from the microphone, and a bad thought arose in his heart, and he asked, "Lin Fei, what happened?"

Tie Linfei took a deep breath before he could finish his sentence: "The air raid on Ningbo Airport failed."

Ouyang Yun was silent.Perhaps because he was used to victory, when he suddenly heard the news of defeat, his initial reaction was actually very flat.After a while, he realized what happened. He couldn't help raising his heart, and asked a little nervously, "How about the battle damage?"

"Of the 44 fighters dispatched by the third division, only six new fighters returned safely, and the division commander, Kong Xiangjun, also died in battle!"

"Ah!" 38 fighter planes were lost at one time. This kind of blow was too huge. Ouyang Yun only felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and his body couldn't help shaking. He took two steps back and almost fell down.

Ji Xingwen was talking softly with a staff officer, Ouyang Yun's unusual behavior attracted the attention of him and the staff staff, Chen Shichang walked over, saw Ouyang Yun's pale face, was surprised, stepped forward to help him, and asked Said: "Commander-in-Chief, what's wrong?"

Ouyang Yun waved his hand at him, gasped for breath, put the microphone back to his ear stiffly, and said, "Have you verified it?"

"Yes. Commander-in-Chief, I'm sorry!" Over there, Tie Linfei finally couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure and began to cry in a low voice—he was still too young to bear this blow.

Ouyang Yun's blow was not inferior to his.Although as the commander-in-chief, he thinks that the three armed forces should be equal, but because of the irreplaceable importance of the air force in this time and space, he still prefers the air force from the bottom of his heart.For now, despite the fact that the navy is the smallest, it seems that it needs to be strengthened the most, but Ouyang Yun knows that at this moment, what the student army really needs to strengthen most is the air force.Why is he not afraid of the possible evil consequences of the butterfly effect and wantonly develop new fighters? The fundamental reason is that he hopes to change the huge disadvantage in quantity through quality. It can protect the local airspace of Fujian, Yue and Qiong.Because only in this way can the army troops of the Xuebing Army be able to fight, so as not to become cannon fodder under the indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese aviation.

There are many ways for the student army to make money, but because of geographical restrictions and the policy of raising troops with high salaries, the money that can really be used to strengthen the air force is actually limited.According to Ouyang Yun's vision, most of the fighters that Chen Jitang purchased when he took power were to be eliminated, but the reality forced him to make concessions. These outdated fighters may be dispensable for Western countries and even Japan , but it is a real help to the student army.That's why he will find ways to improve those old fighters.

It was fine to lose so many fighter planes, but what Ouyang Yun couldn't accept was the sacrifice of so many pilots at once.Airplanes can be rebuilt when they are gone, but people can’t be brought back when they are gone.It is not easy for the student army to train a pilot. The current level of education in China is like this. It takes a lot of effort just to get qualified seeds, and it takes a lot of effort to train. It is difficult, not that the family members can't understand it.

"The thing has already happened, tell me, what happened? Why did it happen?!" Ouyang Yun forced himself to calm down, and then asked in a deep voice.

Tie Linfei on the opposite side wiped away his tears, and whispered what happened to the third division in Ningbo.

When Kong Xiangjun led the third division from Fuzhou Airport to Ningbo Airport, he was discovered shortly after entering Fujian.Ningbo is a bit far from Fujian. In order to ensure the correct course, multiple city groups of Fox Tong Foreign Affairs Department set up telecommunication signals in the cities where they are active.Relying on the guidance of these telecommunication signals, the air strike fleet of the third division entered Zhejiang territory smoothly, and then flew towards Ningbo.But because all the territory is controlled by the Japanese, the loud noise from the aircraft fleet inevitably alarmed the Japanese, so the devils with intentions reported upwards layer by layer, and soon stabbed Iwane Matsui.Ouyang Yun didn't know that when Matsui Iwane first received the news, his face turned pale with fright.Because of the lessons learned from Kaohsiung Airport, the old devil immediately guessed that the air strike target of the Xuebing Army must be the airport, and then he quickly notified all the airports to make them more vigilant.And if Xiao Yi and the others hadn't destroyed the telephone line of Quzhou Airport, Xue Changkong's actions would not have been so smooth.

Both Xiaoshan Airport and Ningbo Airport were prepared, so why did the third division alone suffer heavy losses?It turned out that the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy happened to be docked in Hangzhou Bay at that time.The Fourth Fleet has an aircraft carrier, and it was the participation of this aircraft carrier that completely changed the comparison of the number of fighters on both sides, which caused the third division's disastrous defeat.
