"I have arrived at the port, everyone is more alert and will see the air balloon soon." Several of the commanders of the team leader told their pilots.
When the first night mission was carried out, it was a sneak attack on a military port where the guards were so vigilant, all pilots were inexplicably nervous, but no matter how nervous they were, these excellent pilots who had undergone rigorous training were not messy at all, and everyone followed the orderly
The original plan has begun to take action.
The flying fish reconnaissance aircraft flying in the front first first lifted the altitude and flew to the southeast. Their mission was to provide nighttime lighting for the bomber group to help them avoid obstacles. With the advantage of high-altitude and high speed, several flying fish were
The reconnaissance plane quickly rose to an altitude of 6,000 meters, and it is impossible to reach the balloon at this height.
The planes drove at full speed and flew over the entire naval base at the fastest speed. Then they dropped flares from several directions at a height of 6,000 meters in advance in the order they had agreed in advance.
The residents of Tunisia Port who had just fallen asleep suddenly felt that the window was as bright as daylight. They stood up in surprise to check, but found that several huge fireballs as dazzling as the sun were hanging in the sky, and the rumbling sound of the engine was already resounding.
Night sky.
Sun Xiaohu closed his eyes slightly and sat in the bridge of the aircraft carrier "Zheng Ming". On the surface, he looked very calm. Only the knuckles that were slightly white due to clenching their fists could reveal that he was also very nervous at this moment.
.
The staff members judged the current location of the aircraft group based on the messages sent back from the radio. "Commander, the surprise attack was successful." A staff officer said to Sun Xiaohu excitedly. Sun Xiaohu sat on the chair straight and heard the staff officer's words.
He did not open his eyes, but just nodded slowly. Although his expression seemed to have not changed, his clenched fists had already relaxed, and it was obvious that his mood had relaxed.
The reconnaissance plane dropped flares in the southeast direction, illuminating the way forward for the bomber group. The pilots entering Tunisia Port from the northwest were flying their own planes, taking advantage of the light to dodge left and right, and bypassing one steel cable after another.
Passing through the gap, I quickly entered the harbor and quickly approached the warship berth.
The leading swordfish attack aircraft finally highlighted the balloon blocking area. They quickly lowered the height and almost swept towards the huge ship shadow against the water. Before the Allied Navy could react, the huge torpedo under their fuselage.
It was removed from the hook, and the torpedo entered the water and caused huge splashes of water.
Losing the heavy torpedo, the swordfish attack aircraft is steep and light. With this force, the pilot operated the attack aircraft to climb quickly. Just as the attack aircraft left the attack position and climbed the height, a waterline was already fast.
Drive towards your goal.
Not only was this torpedo launched, a large number of attack aircraft lined up in neat attack formations, passing through the sea one by one, and torpedoes drew straight water lines, and rushed straight into the berthed warships in the port from all directions.
.
As bursts of explosions sounded, the Allied warships anchored in the port were hit and caught fire. The explosion was deafening, and huge columns of fire-prone smoke slowly rose, indicating the target to the subsequent attack aircraft.
The flying fish reconnaissance aircraft with bombs and some swordfish attack aircraft without torpedoes were not to be outdone. The attack aircraft with torpedoes captured the warships in the port, and they became land killers.
Some aircraft first threw bombs at the hidden anti-aircraft guns and destroyed most of them. Then the remaining attack aircraft were dispatched one after another, braved the anti-aircraft firepower of the ground, and boldly flew at low altitude, and under the belly of the aircraft.
The bomb was accurately dropped into key areas such as oil depots, ammunition depots, barracks, etc. in the port. The huge explosion sounded through the sky, and Tunisia Port suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
Forty minutes later, the first wave of attack aircraft used up all their ammunition, and the remaining fuel was not much, and the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy began to return one after another.
But the nightmare in Tunisia Port has not ended yet. The first wave of aircraft fleet has just left for ten minutes. The sailors in the port are still busy putting out the fire. The roar of the engines came from the sky again. The same flares lit up again.
Then the second wave of attack began again.
The second wave of aircraft was smaller and there were no torpedo aircraft, but this could not at all reduce their attack capabilities. With the continuous explosions, the injured warships who survived the death suffered heavy damage again. Under the focus of the pilots
Some large warships that survived the last bombing had to start slowly sinking helplessly.
Many Sars and Nantes have fallen into a state of stagnation. They no longer put out the fires, nor use few anti-aircraft machine guns and remaining anti-aircraft guns, but are foolishly watching the raging Chinese naval shipboards.
The plane, such a violent blow had exceeded the limit they could bear. When these people woke up and began to look for anti-aircraft machine guns to counterattack, the second wave of attack had ended and they had returned successfully.
"Old Sun, the battle results are so good. Should we let the first wave of planes that have landed refuel and hang up bullets immediately, and strive to take off before the second wave of planes come back and carry out the third bombing? If we don't prepare now, the second
The plane that Bo came back occupied the runway." Wan Yong rubbed his hands excitedly, reminding Sun Xiaohu.
Sun Xiaohu finally opened his eyes, stood up slowly, looking at the gradually white sky, and said: "We have achieved enough results, but don't forget that the Allies still have dozens of submarines in the Mediterranean, and there are also Allies on the shore.
Land-based bombers, and this is their main activity area. Our mission is not to bomb the destroyed port of Tunisia, but to return to our port safely."
After saying that, Sun Xiaohu turned his head and smiled, "Lao Wan, we can't win and be complacent. We must keep a calm mind at all times and remember to save ourselves when we attack the enemy."
Wan Yong nodded: "Yes, we can't lose the main warship, so wait for the second wave of planes to come back and we will return immediately."
Sun Xiaohu nodded and looked into the distance and said, "I believe this result can make the young master feel more at ease. This combat report will be easier to write."
The surprise attack on the Tunisian military port became a turning point in the change of sea power in the entire Mediterranean during the world war. In this battle, Sun Xiaohu created an unprecedented feat with the carrier-based aircraft of three aircraft carriers.
