The exact time is 7:53, and the location is about 60 kilometers northeast of Diaoyu Island.
A frigate with a displacement of about 2,000 tons, which was responsible for opening the way, discovered the phantom in the sky, "Your Excellency Kawamura, Your Excellency Kawamura." Watchman Yamada shouted to an artillery ensign standing on the deck,
"Yamada, what did you find?"
Yamada's voice was trembling a little. The Japanese navy's cadet army and air force were at a huge disadvantage, so many Japanese soldiers developed phobias. Once they found a group of fighter planes, they subconsciously thought they were coming to attack them. He hissed. He shouted: "There are fighter planes there, there are many fighter planes."
"What." Lieutenant Kawamura also panicked. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Yamada's finger. First he saw nothing, then he saw a black dot, then several black dots, and then silver light dots. Suddenly, his breathing became heavier unconsciously, and he turned to the captain's room and shouted: "Your Excellency, enemy plane, enemy plane, air strike."
The captain of the ship, Taro Kawabe, had already heard Yamada's call. At this time, he was looking at the northwest sky with a telescope. The next moment, he ordered without hesitation: "Sound the air defense siren, signal troops, hurry up. Warn the fleet."
Tsukahara 243 received a report from Colonel Yamada Shii, the captain of the aircraft carrier "Soryu". The latter said that when a large number of enemy planes were rapidly approaching the fleet, he was doing a war game with several of his subordinates. The war game was played by Koizumi Toshiichiro. After being invented, Tsukahara became addicted immediately after being exposed to it, and he has never tired of it since then. It is also a great irony. The war game project he and several of his subordinates are currently doing is that he will lead the combined fleet to attack Fujian, and then fight with the Xuebing Army Air Force in the Taiwan Strait. A battle broke out in the sky. At this time, the Combined Fleet Air Corps led by him was defeating the Cadet Army Air Force. Defeating the Cadet Army Air Force had become Tsukahara's long-cherished wish, so even if it was just a victory in the deduction, He also grinned with joy, well, great joy brings sorrow. After Yamada finished speaking, he threw away the chess piece in his hand and stood up, yelling: "Seriously." Then he ran out,
He went up to the highest level of the bridge and looked towards Fujian. Sure enough, he saw a flash of silver light. He was furious and shouted at Yamada: "Then why are you still standing? Hurry up and fight." The silver light was densely packed, and there were no one knows how many there were. Fighter, even though Tsukahara was very conceited and knew something was wrong, after yelling at Yamada, he rushed down the bridge, stood at the end of the flight deck, and shouted loudly to Yamabekawa Sankey,
Tsukahara specially requested the Yamabekawa Three Keys from Yamamoto in order to prepare for the possibility of such a scene. Yamabe heard the air raid sirens and immediately began to dress. After Tsukahara shouted a few times, he appeared in front of him fully dressed. , Yamabe's face was very calm, and he respectfully shouted: "Your Excellency, please call me."
Tsukahara pointed to the increasingly conspicuous piece of silver light and said: "Did you see it? The Chinese people seized the opportunity again, Ba Ge, I really can't figure it out, this Ouyang Yun, does he know the legendary deduction technique? . ”
Yamabe: "Sir, please calm down. It's no big deal. I'm sure that at least half of the incoming enemy planes are bombers. Hey, if all our fighters only focus on bombers, this might not be our chance."
"Yamabe, are you confident?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, please rest assured. This time, we will definitely teach the Chinese people a painful lesson. Hehe, this time, we are all Type 99 and Falcon. Although we are still not as good as the Baiji Dolphin, we can deal with the air The fortress is sufficient unless they abandon the operation."
"Okay, go and fight to your heart's content, I will be here to cheer you on."
Just when Tsukahara and Yamabe were full of confidence to deal a heavy blow to the Xuebing Army, Xue Changkong had already issued an attack order: "Target 'Canglong', start." Xue Changkong selected the first target of the air attack as " The "Sanglong" aircraft carrier is precisely to kill the aviation force that joins the fleet before it takes off.
In view of the fact that more than a dozen fighter planes had been released on the "Canglong", the first formation, led by Wang Hai, rushed over first, "Xiu Minghai, you are responsible for intercepting the enemy planes. Others, follow me to strafe and bomb the deck. "Wang Hai shouted on the public channel,
Xiu Minghai was a captain of the 1st Air Division. He led twelve Baijis to meet more than a dozen enemy planes. The two sides immediately started a fierce battle in the airspace about five kilometers away from the "Canglong" aircraft carrier.
We have to admit the quality of the Japanese aviation force. The time from sounding the air defense alarm to the enemy plane flying over the aircraft carrier was no more than ten minutes, but fourteen fighter planes had already completed the takeoff.
Among these fourteen fighters, nine are Falcons, and the others are all Type 99s.
Yamabe was flying a Type 99. He was flying in the first echelon and saw the front formation of the incoming aircraft group suddenly split into two. He immediately judged its intention, then made a gesture and ordered the following fighters to disperse left and right. He opened the aircraft to prevent enemy planes from attacking the aircraft carrier from both sides. Then, he pulled the nose of the aircraft and flew towards the Baiji flying at the front.
The person piloting this Baiji was none other than Xiu Minghai. Among these Baiji pilots, Xiu Minghai had the longest flying time. When he saw an enemy plane coming at him menacingly, he did not panic at all and pulled up the nose of the aircraft slightly. While maintaining a suppressive altitude, keep your eyes fixed on the enemy aircraft, waiting for it to enter the range.
Opposite him, Yamabe sneered: "This Chinese guy is really good at it." Then, he suddenly pressed the lever to the left, and his plane immediately flew sideways, and flew across the fighter plane amid the sudden violent roar of the engine due to acceleration. In a beautiful arc, he rushed towards a white-finned dolphin on the right side of Xiu Ming Road.
The student piloting the Baiji Dolphin acted calmly in the face of Yamabe's provocation. He pressed the nose of the aircraft, accelerated to meet it, and pressed the shooting button as soon as he entered the shooting range. Then, he pulled the push rod and fired. Fighter planes pull up,
As soon as flames appeared under the nose of the Baiji aircraft on the opposite side, Yamabe pressed the pushrod completely to the bottom, and his aircraft rolled several times in a row to avoid the series of shells.
Several more enemy planes took off. At the same time, Wang Hai had broken through the blockade of a Falcon fighter and appeared on the upper right side of the aircraft carrier. He pressed the nose of the aircraft to avoid strafing by a Type 99 fighter and pressed down Pressing the shooting button, in an instant, a Falcon that had just taken off from the deck was hit continuously. Thick smoke immediately appeared from the fuselage. Seconds later, it exploded with a "boom" and turned into a ball of fire,
"Rumble" sound of gunfire sounded, and the anti-aircraft guns on several frigates and cruisers around the "Sangryu" aircraft carrier opened fire one after another, and puffs of smoke exploded in front of the other white-tailed dolphins in Wang Hai's department. One white-finned dolphin failed to do so. He pulled it up in time, and the left wing was hit by a bomb and was blown off, and then he plunged into the sea dragging thick smoke.
The war started within about an hour, and both warring parties lost a fighter plane each. The first achievement of the reinforcement fleet was actually a frigate of only about 3,000 tons.
Operation "Overturn" did not get off to a smooth start.
