Chapter two hundred and seventieth battle of wits and courage
While Liu Yuqing's ground troops were engaging in an artillery battle with Matsui Iwane's Japanese troops on the southern front, the air battle over Fujian was coming to an end. In night air battles, without radar, an operational error may accidentally damage a friendly aircraft, or even happen. The two planes collided. Therefore, although the two waves of Japanese fighter planes were all bombers, Wang Hai and the others could not let go, so they could only play the role of expulsion.
The Japanese's second wave of bombers fled over the war zone after four were shot down and two were damaged due to pilot misoperation. What they left to the Chinese people in Fuding and Fujian were several burning towns. , an air raid was carried out on New Year's Eve, no matter how much the loss of personnel and property was, it would have a huge impact on the morale of the army and the people. However, the army had no effective preventive measures, which made Wang Hai and others quite powerful. You can imagine the feeling of having nowhere to go and the depression in your heart.
"Grandma, you're such a bastard, you ran away again." Some students couldn't help but cursed in the public channel, and just when they were about to return home in frustration, Tielin Fei's order came: "Commander Wang, please report The fuel consumption of your brigade."
Wang Hai, a shrewd man, immediately realized that there was an article in it. After conducting an internal investigation, he replied: "Report to the commander, the average loss is no more than one third, and it can still fly about a thousand kilometers."
"Didn't I see the attack aircraft group taking off from Nanping?"
Wang Hai adjusted the radar radiation direction and replied excitedly: "I saw it, I saw it." He then asked: "Commander, are you going to air attack the Japanese aircraft carrier?"
,,"Sink it" is the eternal pride of the Air Force students, and it is also what the pilots yearn for the most. I don't know how many people have the extravagant hope of doing it again. Now it seems that I am expected to catch this bus.
"Contact Geng Changkong. He will command this air strike. He will bite the Japanese bomber group. Even if the 'Canglong' cannot be sunk this time, he will be unable to participate in the air strike in the next few days."
"yes."
A few minutes later, Wang Hai contacted Geng Changkong, "Old Geng, I am Wang Hai. The commander asked us to follow your command. Our current position is...Old Geng, what does the coastal radar say, 'Canglong' 'How far is it from us?"
Geng Changkong: "The 'Canglong' has started to run away. Lao Wang, you kill the enemy plane in front."
"Don't worry, the little devil can't fly against us."
"Okay, let's catch up first and then talk."
Compared with Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, Yamada's definition is much more interesting. Every time he suffers, he gains wisdom. After the Japanese experienced a "sinking", they became much more wary of the Xuebing Army Air Force, and after having radar , Yamada Shiji also had the resources to grab a handful and leave. Therefore, as soon as he took back the first wave of bombers, he ordered a retreat towards the waters of the Diaoyu Islands.
When the communications staff of the South China Front sent him a telegram requesting assistance according to Matsui Iwane's instructions, the main force of the Soryu aircraft carrier fleet had already sailed about fifteen nautical miles and was already more than 60 kilometers away from the Fuding coast. When the "Soryu" When the communications officer sent the telegram to him, he was having a heated discussion with several of his subordinates about the night attack he had just invented tonight.
"This is just the beginning. When the tactics mature, we can go deeper and even directly bomb Guangzhou." He said with excitement,
"Your Excellency, a telegram from Commander Matsui."
"Oh, let me take a look." Yamada said, taking the telegram, glanced at it, frowned, raised his head and said, "Those guys in the Army are getting more and more helpless. They actually lost the artillery battle." He handed the telegram over. To his chief of staff, he said: "Commander Matsui said that he would lure the Chinese artillery to fire again later and asked us to dispatch bombers for a sneak attack. Hey, do you think our navy's aviation is a god? This is the first time for everyone to conduct night operations. It's okay to bomb towns and military fortresses with relatively large strategic targets, but what if we participate in ground troops' support operations and accidentally bomb one of our own people."
The chief of staff read the telegram carefully and reminded him: "Sir, have you noticed that the wording of this telegram is both a request and an order? I see."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud shout. It was a signal soldier. He stood up and said to Yamada: "Your Excellency, the early warning ship in the rear reported that a large number of enemy planes were discovered."
"What." Yamada said, striding over, taking off the headset on his head and putting it on his head, then holding the microphone and said: "I am Captain Yamada, please report your findings in detail."
"Sir Yamada, we found a fighter jet cluster in the northwest direction. Now there are two, and there will be more in the back."
"I got it, continue to monitor." After Yamada finished speaking, he took off his headset and said to everyone: "The Chinese people are very evil. Gentlemen, please implement plan No. 2."
"Hai."
The walkie-talkie currently used on the "Sangryu" is naturally the invention of Koizumi Toshiichiro. Compared with the one used by the Xuebing Army, the Japanese-style walkie-talkie is much larger in size, but its performance in other aspects is almost the same. This is also the case with the Yamamoto Five. One of the reasons why Sixteen dares to play this kind of hide-and-seek game with the Army Air Force,
"Your Excellency, how should you reply to Commander Matsumoto?" the chief of staff asked,
"Just say that our aircraft carrier fleet is being pursued by superior enemy aircraft and cannot cooperate with them in combat."
"Would you like to ask Mr. Yamamoto for instructions?"
"It's not necessary. I will explain this matter to him personally after we meet up."
"Hai."
Ten minutes later, the "Canglong" aircraft carrier released the thirty-one fighter jets it carried. Five minutes later, the Baiji brigade led by Wang Hai began to line up in a long snake formation and use the airborne weapons on his fighter jet. When the radar was attacking the Japanese bombers ahead, a second lieutenant on duty at Fuding Coastal Radar Station No. 2 suddenly exclaimed: "I asked where the other two Japanese aircraft carrier fleets were hiding. They used to be docked along the coast of Taipei. , the little devil is getting more and more cunning."
A few minutes later, Geng Changkong was informed of this information by Tie Linfei. Tie Linfei ordered all the "tiger sharks" and white-tip dolphins to return to their original places except Wang Hai's white-tip dolphin brigade, while the Sky Fortress fleet continued the pursuit. Then he turned to Taipei, used high-altitude bombing, and destroyed two military docks in Taipei.
Tielin Fei: "Without the dock, I would like to see how Yamamoto Isoroku can hide his aircraft carrier."
Yamamoto Isoroku's single-carrier fleet harassment plan caused the Xuebing Army Air Force to suffer a lot. Tielin Fei and others were planning ways to crack this tactic all the time. But now, because of the latest discovery of Fuding Coastal No. 2 Radar Station, They finally found a feasible way. Without the dock, how could the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet get so close to the island to avoid being tracked by radar?
