The black and red mushroom clouds soared into the sky in the center of Sasebo Bay shocked every pair of eyes. High-quality updates. For pilots and soldiers of China and Japan, they had never seen a battleship with more than 30,000 tons explode in front of them. The dense wreckage of fine particles sprinkled down from the top of the mushroom cloud, hitting the sea and causing countless ripples. On the sister ship Yamashiro, the closest to the Fusang, the sailors were chilling all over and even forgot to shoot in the air. No one expected that they would get the order to set off in the afternoon, and the fleet flagship was sunk in front of them in the evening! And... this seemed to be the second bomb, right?

Zhou Zhikai clenched his fists hard, and the cabin was even more jubilant. The crew members all knew the power of "Rolling Thunder", but they could achieve such brilliant results in the first actual combat! They were still very excited. It was not until the ground fire became more and more dense that he ordered the two bombers behind to drop bombs and attack. "Phot them down! Fire artillery!" Sasebo's air defense fire became increasingly dense, and the officers finally woke up from the chaos and desperately called for the nearest fighter to support. While thousands of shells were dazzled the sky, Rolling Thunder II also entered the bombing passage. "Rolling Thunder II called the knights, entered the bomb drop passage, and helped me divert the anti-aircraft artillery fire." After the second Sea-Hongqian called the fighter, four Tianquan dropped flares again, and then used six machine guns to strafuse the port and the sea surface, luring some Japanese troops to chase them.

"Baga, this is a bait tactic! Don't be fooled." On the Shancheng, the captain Yuan Ding, the third captain, saw Tianquan swept out a string of fire points on the warship first, and then quickly scattered around. He knew that he wanted to deliberately disperse his air defense firepower, so he climbed up to the top of the pagoda bridge to command the air defense. From here, the Shancheng's air defense firepower was fully opened, with four double-connected 127mm anti-aircraft guns and eight double-connected 25mm machine guns desperately spraying shells into the sky. But compared with the new warships from all over the world, the Japanese Navy's air defense capabilities were really unsatisfactory. Moreover, the two types of anti-aircraft guns had poor firepower. However, compared with the new warships from all over the world, the Japanese Navy's air defense capabilities were really unsatisfactory. Moreover, the two types of anti-aircraft guns had poor firepower.

At the beginning, not to mention the hundreds of air defense weapons of the Yanjing-class, the air defense firepower is not even comparable to the light cruiser of the Republic of China Navy. "Shoot, don't stop, let the destroyer...boom!" The third colonel Yuan Ding was still desperately commanding, but the warship under his feet suddenly trembled violently, and the bow seemed to be pressed by something, and then a loud bang was lost. The eyebrows were put on the sharp corner of the bulkhead. "Colonel, how are you?" "I'm fine, where was shot?" Yuan Dingsan endured the severe pain, held the railing with blood on his face and found that there was a sea of ​​fire in the direction of his bow.

The first thunder dropped by the No. 2 aircraft hit the bow of the Shancheng ship. Fortunately, the bomb was still a distance away from the turret, otherwise the Shancheng would have followed in the footsteps of the Fusang. But even so, the bow of the Shancheng ship was still directly blown off, and the thick steel plate rolled outward and bloomed, a large amount of sea water poured in here, and the waterline descended to the naked eye.

"Sir, the bomb penetrates the bow and has seven compartments in water, and is losing balance."

"The high-pressure tube breaks and steam is leaking..."

"Fill water into the stern of the ship to maintain balance. How long will it take for the power cabin No. 1 and 2?"

"boom......."

When the third colonel Yuan Ding and the sailors tried hard to save themselves, the second bomb followed one after another, and the Yamachi, which had extremely poor air defense capabilities, had become a target! Fortunately, because the thick smoke affected the sight, the second bomb fell more than ten meters away, and the splashing waves almost overturned a destroyer. "Bad bastard, we became the target! Let Ise and Yu Xiang leave quickly! Concentrate all the anti-aircraft guns to protect them to break through." Due to the sinking of the Fusang, the command of the second team was taken down. Therefore, when the bomb was so powerful, the third colonel Yuan Ding immediately assumed the responsibility of the flagship and ordered his full efforts to protect the two Ise-class battleships that had not been attacked.

At this moment, Japan's Ise-class battleship was not a follow-up ship of Fuso class in history, but two lion-class battleships sold and given by Britain half-sold and half-given after the European War. At that time, Japan bought it because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was because it was better than the King Kong class. It also helped Japan save the funds to continue to build two historical Ise-class battleships. Therefore, before the war, Japan used the King Kong class as a template to roughly upgrade the two Ise-class, and basically it could be comparable to the King Kong class after the major reform. The old foundation of the Battle Patrol made the two Ise-class react faster than the Yama Castle. At the same time as the Shancheng was hit, thick smoke came out of the chimney and began to slowly maneuver to the waterway. High-quality update

Seeing that the two Ise were about to run away, Ganglei No. 3 had to give up the opportunity to bomb Shancheng and aim at the leader Yuxiang. "Let it go!" Under the command of the captain, the fifth Rolling Thunder rushed out of the bullet cabin, but not long after the bomb left the belly, the bomber found that half of the red light of the tail guide was not on, and it was impossible to guide it. Rolling Thunder radio-guided bombs were never allowed to fall into Japan's hands, so he immediately activated the radio self-destruction device. With a loud bang, Rolling Thunder exploded about a thousand meters above the head of the Rolling Thunder, and the shock wave swept across.

On the deck, the sailors on the stern were swept around. "The second..." Seeing that the first one failed, the third plane could not wait to drop the last "Rolling Thunder". The bomb did not disappoint and hit the stern of the stern. It can be clearly seen from the sky that while the fireball rose, the two carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft at the stern were lifted hundreds of meters away by the shock wave, and dozens of sailors were swallowed by the fire ball. The explosion also destroyed the oars, causing the stern to stall instantly and could no longer move forward.

Six consecutive rolling thunders achieved the result of one sinking and two injuries, which made the rolling thunder squadron unable to suppress it. Unfortunately, due to the insufficient number, not only the Ise was speeding up, but most of the warships in the harbor had already started to fire, and some began to rush out of the port. "Be careful, enemy planes!" Just when Zhou Zhi was anxious and didn't know what to do, several Japanese 96 ships rushed into the harbor from the darkness. The long flames dragged out of the machine gun swept on the evacuated rolling thunder 3. "I was shot! I was shot, cover me..." When the pilot of the rolling thunder 3 saw that he was shot, he immediately climbed up to try to shake off the 96 ships battle, and at the same time he called for the fighter plane to protect him.

The 96-Six battle, which bit the No. 3 aircraft, took advantage of its small size and flexibility in maneuverability. After successfully attacking, he saw that the bomber did not respond and was still flying towards the sea, so he immediately went back and prepared to attack again. But this time his luck was not good. The HQ was the same as the B24, equipped with ten self-defense 12.7mm heavy machine guns, so he was attacked by four heavy machine guns before he could get close. In order to identify the direction and correct the ballistics, the machine gun bullets had a tracer bullet every five rounds. So after the HQ was fully fired, ten blazing lines of fire were sprayed out from the left and right of the fuselage. The Japanese pilot did not expect that the bomber's firepower was so strong, and he hurriedly dodged and tried to detour the tail of the aircraft. At this time, a Tianquan rushed from the side, and the six lines of fire flashed, and the 96-Six battle turned into a ball of fire that exploded in the air.

From the beginning, the J-8 was a fighter jet designed for air supremacy, so the Northern Thunderstor Company specifically named it Tianquan. Compared with the 96-ship battle, Tianquan's advantage is too great. If it weren't for the night, even bombers would not be close to them. But there were too many Japanese fighters, and more and more 96-ship battles and Type 97-Seven-Sea Fighters joined the battle from all directions. Zhou Zhikai suddenly felt that the pressure increased. Just when he ordered to retreat, a hurry called came from his headphones.

"The wild boy called Rolling Thunder, the wild boy called Rolling Thunder, please answer when you hear it."

"I heard the rolling thunder, I heard the rolling thunder. We were attacked by Japanese aircraft, with about twenty nine six-ship battles and more than a dozen nine-seven-seaters...." Zhou Zhikai heard the call and quickly explained the situation roughly. "Captain Zhou, let us leave the rest. Wild boy! Prepare to clear the airspace. One team dealt with ships, the second team bombed the harbor, and the third team prepared to lay mines. Repeat..." After hearing the situation, Gao Zhihang immediately deployed an offensive mission. In order to achieve the greatest result, the wild boy squadron he led was divided into three groups, carrying torpedoes, bombs and magnetic mines, hoping to destroy Sasebo to the greatest extent. After the order was issued, twenty-four night battle-type double-headed dragons were the first to accelerate into the battle circle.

Although Tianquan has strong combat power, because there is no radar, it may not be able to surpass the double-headed dragon in night battle. Especially after the night battle-type double-headed dragon was changed to two-seat, the pilot can finally get rid of the complex radar control and exert all the power of the fighter. Because radar is installed at the head, the night battle-type double-headed dragon moved four machine guns to the wing while ensuring two 25mm cannons on both sides of the head. Although the range is much reduced, it ensures the firepower required as an interceptor. Since the radar does not have an enemy-to-me recognition device at this time, the twelve Tianquans immediately accelerated and avoided it in order to avoid accidental injury. The high-quality update of the speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour instantly left the Japanese aircraft behind. When the Japanese aircraft discovered a large number of attacking aircraft, the Japanese aircraft had already roared into the combat circle. The firepower configuration of the two cannons and four machine guns was extremely powerful, and six or seven Japanese aircraft were shot down in the blink of an eye.

After the Japanese fighter was entangled, Gao Zhihang immediately led a team to descend. "Three hundred meters! The bomb drop height of 300 meters must be guaranteed. Your speed is too fast, and it must be reduced to 180 kilometers!" Qiu Han knew that the critical time was coming, and if the heavy torpedo could work, he looked at it, so he rushed to the cockpit regardless of the danger and shouted loudly. "Shut up! I know!" Gao Zhihang was also nervous at this moment. If it was daytime, he could easily deal with it even if it was 100 meters. But now it was night. It was more than 20 tons in the glimmer of light and two heavy torpedoes with a total weight of more than four tons were hung. It was really an indiscretionary task.

After shouting that his friends were shut up, Gao Zhihang was already sweating all over. As the altimeter pointer continued to approach the red zone, he and the crew both bit their lips nervously. Because Sasebo did not go straight into and out of the waterway, but was in the shape of an S-shaped waterway, so while the two groups of Hai Hongqi were close to the sea surface, they also had to be careful of the obstacles on both sides. In just a few minutes, time seemed to solidify, and the shells rushing from both sides of the waterway made everyone experience what it means to raging bullets. "See, I saw it!" When the two Hai Hongqi passed by the last bay, Port Sasebo suddenly jumped into his eyes. "Look, it is a battleship, it must be a battleship!" As the co-pilot shouted, Qiu Han vaguely saw a huge black shadow rushing towards the waterway, and excitedly shouted that Gao Zhihang would open fire.

"Unlock the torpedo and launch!" Gao Zhihang's shouting, two Sea Hoc Qi dropped torpedoes three thousand meters away from the Ise. As Qiu Han told Bingwen, it was very difficult to airdrop heavy torpedoes, so in order to minimize the depth of water, he installed a small parachute on the head and tail of the torpedo. The moment the four torpedoes left the pylon, the parachute was opened to protect the torpedoes into the water at a relatively small speed. At the same time, he also increased the air compartment to provide more buoyancy. However, Gao Zhihang couldn't wait to see the torpedo enter the water, and the moment he dropped the torpedo, he pulled the lever and soared into the sky at the maximum angle. While the two aircraft were climbing rapidly, the anti-aircraft artillery on the Japanese destroyer hit the No. 2 aircraft. With a ball of flame, the stalled No. 2 aircraft suddenly hit the mountain next to the waterway and exploded, and all eleven crew members died.

"Torpedo! Discover the torpedo!" Before we could celebrate the shooting down of the bomber, a scream sounded from the battleship of the Ise. If it was open water, Ise could find a way to avoid it, but at this moment the power of the warship had not reached its maximum value, and the steam pressure was only half. Therefore, while the bow was tilted at a high angle, two 550mm fish-5 thermally-powered heavy torpedo hit the starboard side at a speed of 45 knots. Compared with Japanese oxygen torpedo, the Fish-5 is not very powerful, and the 350-kilogram warhead is not as powerful as the 93 oxygen torpedo. But even so, it is not something that a battleship cruiser like Ise can withstand! Two huge water balls rose from the port side of the Ise at the same time, and the modified hull was lifted up by nearly 30,000 tons. In an instant, the explosion opened two five-meter holes at the same time in front of the warship, and the sea water rushed into the adjacent seventeen.

The cabin. Even the new battleships before the war could not be safe under two heavy torpedoes, let alone the old ship with poor underwater protection. So the battleship Ise began to tilt quickly, and a large number of sailors slid down from the deck, and even the propeller on the left was slowly exposed. The Hai Hongqi following behind did not waste torpedoes on this warship that was bound to overturn, and aimed at Yuxiang and Shancheng, who were still flying on the sea. The two ships that had lost their ability to move became targets, one torpedo after another passed the feet of the Japanese sailors who fell into the water, impacting the underwater lightning protection compartment of the warship. In less than five minutes, Yuxiang and Yasuo were hit by five and four torpedoes respectively. The steel ship trembled and disintegrated in the explosion, and the collapsed and torn Yuxiang was broken into two pieces from the middle. Yasuo only persisted for less than ten minutes before it exposed its belly.

After destroying four battleships, the remaining Sea-Hongqi fired all the torpedoes at three Sichuan-class light cruisers. Although this old light cruiser with a displacement of only more than 5,000 tons was flexible and fast, it could not show its ability in the narrow bay. Just two 76mm anti-aircraft guns were air-proof, so they quickly entered the footsteps of the main ship. At the same time, dense explosions came from the direction of the military port, and 240 250 kilograms of napalm bombs fell freely from a height of one thousand meters. "Boom, rumbling..." The earth kept shaking, and terrifying flames soared into the sky, instantly

Instantly engulf everything and human body in the radius. Napalm bomb is a cheap and simple tactical large-scale killing weapon. A large amount of napalm explodes instantly to produce high explosions and high temperatures and vacuuming, which is enough to kill all people and animals within the radius. The most terrifying thing is that the fire will spread around like water, and it will not be extinguished for a long time after entering the water. Therefore, under this indiscriminate napalm bomb bomb, Sasebo's sky seemed to be burned red, with fireballs and suffocating smoke everywhere, and the flames flowing into the sea water burned a large number of sailors who escaped from the warships.

Looking down from the sky, the whole of Sasebo was burning.

Finally, the eight sea-7 also spread forty-eight magnetic mines in the waterway, completely blocking this most important naval base in Japan.

The war broke out!

In the Japanese Korean Army Command in Seoul, Colonel Mudaguchi Ryoya stood in front of Itagaki Seishiro with a fanatical expression, and behind him were all middle- and low-level army officers staring at blood-red eyes. The low roar and excitement filled the air with fanaticism. "This day has finally come! The Chinese people provoked a war in the Sogo Strait. We should take decisive action, and it is time to take the initiative to seize the North Korea and

Manchuria and Mongolia re-establish the Eastern Continent barrier of the Empire and prove the capabilities of the Great Japanese Imperial Army to allies and ghost animals! Now, it is the best opportunity to unite allies to defeat the Chinese people! They were dragged by millions of main forces in the northwest, so North Korea did not even increase one soldier. General, please give an order immediately. We will work together to break through the Yalu River, kill all the new Chinese soldiers, and build the Great East Asia Royal Land of Manchuria and Mongolia."

"Although Tokyo's order has not come yet, we can't wait! China has a very complete railway network in the Manchuria region, and Manchuria is also their most important and their second largest industrial area. It has strong mobilization capabilities! We must take precedence and take decisive actions! As long as we control Manchuria and Mongolia and seize the industrial facilities here, the empire will be invincible!" Nakajima Imasa, behind him, Tokusa Morita and Konaga Ichiki Kyonaga also stood up one after another. They were both the most active war faction in the Korean army against China, so after learning that a conflict broke out in the Soya Strait, they immediately rushed to demand to take action in advance.

"You are all right, but..." After the conflict in the Soya Strait broke out in the afternoon, Seishiro Itagaki sent a telegram to Tokyo to ask about the situation. However, the order was delayed, so he was also very anxious. The fighter plane was fleeting. If China was allowed to deploy troops calmly, he believed that at least ten divisions would cross the Yalu River at most forty-eight hours. You should know that this was not the Qing army. The Chinese army began to gradually mobilize a year ago. Although the country sneered at their achievements in the northwest and said it was forged and fictional, he himself believed it quite.

Therefore, if Japan wants to win, it must attack him unexpectedly, but the delayed order made him hesitate.

The leader of Colonel Mutian was very dissatisfied with this hesitation and did not dare to get angry openly, so he had to continue to petition loudly: "General, I have been to China Manchuria and Mongolia three years ago. There is very complete industrial capacity here, which can make all equipment including aircraft, combat vehicles and warships, and a population of 80 million! If China is given time to mobilize, more imperial soldiers will sacrifice and bleed! So please make a decisive decision and try your best for the empire!"

Seishiro Itagaki took a deep breath. This petition made him a headache. Senior Japanese officers like him were already feeling a little panic about the grassroots officers below, and were very afraid that the situation of improper operation would appear again. So he could neither clearly reject the officer nor do he want to violate the order. What should he do? Just when he was in a dilemma, a sharp scream suddenly came from outside the window, followed by a buzzing sound that penetrated into his ears from all directions.

"Who is flying at night?" Itagaki Seishiro and the officers were very surprised and opened the windows and looked out. "General! Incheon Port report and found the Chinese bomber..." Before they could see the fleet, several officers rushed in yellingly. "No! Hurry up, get the air defense alarm." Itagaki Seishiro realized that something was wrong and quickly ordered the air defense preparations. Then he swept the officer in front of him and gritted his teeth and shouted: "Just as you said, go attack!" Colonel Muda and others heard the order, and ran out without hesitation.

But his orders were still too late, or the Tokyo senior management was too hesitant. Because when the air raid alarm shattered the peace of Seoul, the Air Force's Ninth Strategic Bomber Brigade led by Xu Huansheng had already flew over Seoul from Huludao. As one of the two bombing brigades put into Tonight, his mission was to bomb Seoul and destroy the airport. Seoul Airport is the largest airport of the Japanese Korean army, with nearly 200 aircraft, so as soon as the aircraft group passed Incheon Port, he opened the bullet bay.

Inside the bullet casing are twenty-four neat "snake eggs"!

"Snake Egg" is a special mother-child bomb that resembles a "lazy dog". It first started with the killing mother-child bomb in the First Afghanistan War. After the war, technicians were still not satisfied with the bomb at that time, so they changed the steel balls to triangular nails. However, the appearance of the triangular nails caused unstable flight, so they changed it to a small bullet with a length of 4.5 cm, a diameter of 1.8 cm, and a solid steel cast with a tail. Unlike high-explosive mother-child bombs, snake eggs are directly killed by bullets. So each one is changed to a bullet.

There are 2,877 bullets hidden in the standard 250 kilograms of bombs. After the air explosion, the "bullets" will spread rapidly, and the maximum killing area for unprotected targets exceeds 20 square kilometers! This kind of bomb is mainly used to deal with large-scale personnel and outdoor targets. Later, the military discovered that it has a good effect on destroying airports. Because most airports are open-air and without protection, the bullets can easily penetrate the aluminum and wood fuselage and destroy the internal oil tanks and engines of the aircraft.

When Xu Huansheng arrived at Seoul Airport, many shells had already emerged on the ground. A large number of Japanese pilots were rushing towards the plane, and ground crews were also racing against time to launch the plane. "Keep the altitude of 2,000 meters, form the 44th, and continue to drop high-explosive bombs after the snake egg exploded." For Xu Huansheng, who had experienced the founding of Saudi Arabia, the Afghanistan War, the Persian landing war and the Soviet war, the Japanese army's air defense firepower was too bad compared to the Soviet army, so he ignored the bomb rain and issued a bomb drop order.

Due to the special surname of "Snake Egg", in order to prevent "bullets" from hitting ordinary bombs, Xu Huansheng and the other seven HQs were the first to lower the height. "Boom Boom..." Shortly after 192 snake eggs were dropped, they exploded one after another in the air. More than 30,000 solid "bullets" instantly spread into a piece of steel rain under the impact of the explosion wave. The Japanese army on the ground was still wondering why bombs exploded at a height of 1,000 meters, and their ears were filled with sharp whistling sounds.

"Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao

As soon as Oshima Shinji, who rushed into the cockpit, had just put on his helmet, the hatch cover glass above his head suddenly exploded. Turning his head, a strange bullet penetrated deeply into the instrument panel in front of him, and the four-piece tail wing was still rotating. What is this? Oshima subconsciously wanted to pull it out with his hands, but when he reached half of it, his head seemed to be hit hard by a few hundred kilograms of iron hammer, and he suddenly tilted to the right, and half of his head splashed out from the cockpit. "Master...ah!" The ground crewman who was preparing was so scared that he was scattered, but after running two steps, he was cut off from his waist by a bullet, and his upper body was hung with his intestines flying far away.

Thousands of bullets splashed and jumped among the crew and personnel. Everything was smashed and penetrated wherever they passed. Several Zero Warfare was directly hit and exploded. Almost every plane was hit by dozens of bullets and was paralyzed on the ground in an instant. As for the exposed soldiers and pilots, they seemed to turn into scarecrows in the wind, and they cried in pieces, and their broken limbs and internal organs and blood filled the apron instantly.

Before the Japanese army could figure out what bomb this was, the strings of high-explosive bombs followed closely.

Rumble, rumbling... In just a few minutes, explosions sounded everywhere in Seoul. Warehouses, military camps, docks, harbors, power plants, oil storage depots, etc., all targets that could be vaguely identified in the dark were bombed. Although no powerful ammunition such as napalm bombs were used, the sea of ​​fire and shock waves rolled up by the high-explosive bombs still destroyed the city, blew the surface into a pothole, and large areas of buildings collapsed in the explosion.
