Chapter 656 East China Sea War (13) Intensive Bombing
Wang Wenda has the temperament to do something or do it. Now that he has decided to start work, he must not give up halfway. Otherwise, does he, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, have the integrity to speak? If I say I will hit you, I will hit you. I will never give up.
Don’t lie and fire cannons!
Of course, he was also worried that if his intentions were discovered by Chiang Kai-shek, twelve gold medals would come up to chase him back and force him to stop, which would be boring. Before such a thing happened, the bigger the better!
The "Flying Shark" wall was in front, and the A-1 bombers were behind. The mighty formation came across the sky and reached the front in less than twenty minutes. Under the command of the early warning aircraft, the four who arrived later
The squadrons dispersed forward, each using air-to-air missiles to clear
Clearing out a piece of airspace, they killed or dispersed all the Japanese aircraft cruising around. Then the A-1s of the two squadrons rushed in and first directed the heavy "Meteorite-1" gliding bomb towards the most conspicuous aircraft on Kume Island.
Throw the fort down!
Under the control of the
will overwrite
The two-meter-thick reinforced concrete on the upper part of the fort passed through, and the main warhead with a charge of up to 230 kilograms erupted immediately. There was an earth-shattering "boom" and huge mushroom clouds rose into the sky!
One-third of the anti-aircraft guns hidden among the lush woods were destroyed on the spot, and the rest could no longer be hidden. They hurriedly took off their camouflage, pushed out the guns of various calibers, and fired them blindly into the air. Regardless of what they saw with their eyes.
Whether what you have reached is the target or not, let’s wait and see!
But this behavior simply marked the target for the bombers. The twelve A-1s shook their wings and each dropped the "Little Sparrow" precision-guided bombs. After more than ten seconds, dozens of explosions followed one after another.
The chaotic explosive projectiles sprayed into the sky suddenly stopped and became mute!
The fleet turned in the air, and a squadron turned left to attack Aguni Island. In the same way, Hulu used heavy gliding bombs to destroy the forts and anti-aircraft artillery fire. Under the cover of the "Flying Shark" fighter planes, it dived from low altitude and repeatedly passed over the top of the mountain, and the total number was no more than 7.
Any suspicious targets on the island of more than an square kilometer were plowed with rockets. It was not until thick black smoke and fire pillars were rising from everywhere that it was impossible to see anymore. Then they stopped and left. They rushed forward.
!
However, the main force continued to move forward, first blowing up one side of Tonaki Island regardless of whether there were any suspicious targets, and then searching and sweeping all the Kerama Islands until they were sure that there were no buildings that could threaten them.
Suddenly forced into the main island of Okinawa.
This lap took almost half an hour!
During this period of time, the Japanese army finally stabilized its position and reorganized its air and ground forces to prepare for the attack. Since pure air combat cannot be dealt with for the time being, it depends on how to break through this solid fortress that has been in operation for many years! The countless anti-aircraft firepower
, it cannot be solved by simple bombing!
The "Wall of Flying Sharks" began to advance forward. The attack front for the expansion of the A-1 fleet was gradually revealed, between the port below and the plains. I don't know how much power is hidden in the dense vegetation waiting to bite. And the Japanese army seems to have
Aware of the danger, he actually refused to take the important step
The air defense firepower points were exposed, and they began to fight tenaciously with the numerical advantage of the fighter planes. Once the bombers dived, they used small-caliber cannons and machine guns to tenaciously block them. When the number was too large, they actually formed a formation at an altitude of one or two thousand meters.
Criss-crossing like fishing nets to block the fire!
The A-1 fleet does not specifically look for suitable targets. For them, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. Naha Port, which bears the brunt, is undoubtedly the best choice. So the four squadrons scrambled to be the first and divided into four waves.
Each of them threw away all the mounted bombs, and then fired uncontrolled rockets at the building facilities below. It was not until the port facilities with a diameter of five kilometers turned into a sea of fire that Shi Shiran turned around.
leave.
Then within ten minutes, a wave of twenty-four bombers arrived one after another, and they continued to drop bombs along the coastline. This time they were all uncontrolled aerial bombs, most of which were one hundred or two hundred pounds each.
Fighters can carry them in bundles, and some are even bundled with five. After being smashed down from a high altitude, the straps break apart during the fall and they fall freely. They are scattered randomly. I don’t know where they will explode, but that one
Is it important?
Half an hour later, the first wave of reloaded bombers came again and continued bombing with ordinary aerial bombs mixed with a few heavy gliding bombs. After two rounds, basically there was nothing intact in the entire port.
Regardless of whether the ship belongs to the navy or not, the battle has basically been sunk, and most of the shore-based forts have been destroyed. Everything exposed has not escaped their hands!
At this time, the fleet has moved forward thirty nautical miles, and is still far away from entering the range of the main gun!
The news of the East China Sea Fleet's attack had already reached the Nanjing base camp first. Especially when the heavy bomber formation returned precariously covered in smoke, the scene left the Zhoushan garrison and the ships from various countries cruising nearby stunned.
In the past, these big guys would either hide in caves or sunken hangars, or they would discredit their takeoffs and climb to high altitudes so that no one could see their true colors. This time, they all returned seriously injured, with seven or eight even
I almost couldn't control myself and hit the mountain. The appearance of smoke all over my body was so scary, and it could be clearly seen from a distance. This whole group of defeated soldiers was defeated! Could it be that Zhu Bin's army finally lost the battle?!
Old Chiang Kai-shek was rarely in high spirits, and his eyebrows stood up, worried and happy at the same time. What he was worried about was that if Zhu Bin couldn't defeat Japan, then he would have to make plans early, and peace talks were not out of the question.
.But what can make this guy lose his hands and feet, he must be furious, so when dealing with the Japanese, are you still pushing back and forth like this?
In addition, it is said that this kind of bomber is extremely expensive, with the production cost of each one being no less than half a million US dollars. The cost of this dispatch is equivalent to tens of millions of US dollars! If they can't be used, I wonder if this kid will be so distressed that he can't sleep.
Sleep!
Dai Li noticed the true state of mind of the principal, and reported the summary information happily: "It is reported that the heavy bombing regiment directly under the East China Sea Fleet tracked the first batch of enemy planes that broke into our country's airspace and arrived in Hsinchu, Taiwan, and carried them along with dozens of them at the airport.
Japanese planes were blown up together
; and successively bombed Yilan, Hualien and other airports, causing heavy losses. Then when they went to bomb Ryukyu, they were suddenly besieged by Japanese planes and were defeated. Fortunately, they were able to escape after being rescued by the fleet's fighter planes, but they were too damaged.
I’m afraid it won’t be put into use in a short time!”
"Well, I still have some credit!" Lao Jiang nodded, not sure if he was really satisfied.
However, Dai Li knew that in these three hours, at least the Japanese army did not have more fighter planes rush into the mainland battlefield. The previous waves lost more than one-third after fierce fighting, fled in panic, and failed to successfully attack Shanghai or Hangzhou.
, a total of more than a hundred were shot down, which can be said to be a great victory.
The Central Air Force suffered losses of more than 130 aircraft, while the shore-based fleet of the East China Sea Fleet only lost a dozen aircraft. The two sides could be said to be tied. At this time, the remaining Japanese aircraft had been completely expelled.
Almost all of them flew towards Taiwan---the number of airports built by the Japanese army there was huge!
This morning's tossing left Lao Jiang exhausted and still frightened. At this time, he heard that Zhu Bin's main force in the East China Sea bombing had been damaged, and he didn't know what to say.
Dai Li continued: "In addition, the East China Sea Fleet has discovered the incoming Japanese fleet, which is hidden more than 40 kilometers east of Ryukyu Island. It is sending a powerful air force to compete with it for air supremacy, and will quickly move in to look for opportunities to annihilate the enemy!
"
Lao Jiang was a little distracted and nodded repeatedly, but at the end he suddenly thought about it, raised his eyebrows and said: "Hmm?! You said they have already sent the fleet over?! How can they launch an attack in such a place? Shouldn't they first
Are we going to launch a war against the Ryukyu Islands?!"
Dai Li grinned ugly: "I'm afraid so!"
"How is this possible!" Lao Jiang stood up and yelled sternly, "The commander of the East China Sea Fleet is called Wang Wenda, isn't he? How can he change the battle plan without my approval? Go and inform Zhu Hanchen, I want to ask him who he is?
How to lead troops!"
He was trying to find an excuse to get angry! Dai Li knew it well and only said yes, but he didn't dare to pretend to be a bully to give orders. He was asking for trouble. He just conveyed Jiang's unhappiness tactfully.
At this time, Zhu Bin had already gotten up. He had already understood all aspects of the combat situation and was very satisfied with Wang Wenda's emergency decision. However, the news that the bomber group had been hit by a suicide bomber made him frown and point his fingers.
Ba Ba reported while playing: "The air force's combat methods must be changed, and the equipment also needs to be updated! As for the bombers, it is better not to go out alone like a fighter jet, there must be an escort force!"
Bombers should mainly transport various bombs, missiles and the like. There is no need to have so many guns that take up tonnage and destroy the aerodynamic shape. The professional point is to be professional.
Old Jiang's dissatisfaction seemed to Zhu Bin to be just unreasonable and he ignored it. He glanced at the chart and nodded to confirm: "Let Wang Wenda free his hands and feet. If he can take the Ryukyu Island
After defeating them all, it's not impossible to make him the governor of Ryukyu!"
If we can really occupy the Ryukyu Islands, it will be equivalent to cutting off the Japanese army's huge island chain and peripheral supply lines, which will greatly affect their maritime supply chain. This is a strategic result. The East China Sea Fleet alone may not be able to do it.
The Japanese army will do this at all costs. The result is not something they can bear.
