The attack target of Li Shengguo Squadron was originally the submarine force headed by the Min-02 and Min-03 submarines, but Morikawa saw the opportunity quickly and ordered all submarines to dive immediately. Therefore, the one who finally bore the wrath of Li Shengguo Squadron was the heavy cruiser Kaohsiung. The assault fleet's floating ships, eleven Tiger Sharks, each carried ten 300-kilogram aerial bombs, and one hundred and ten aerial bombs roared and smashed down one after another. Although most of them were hit empty, they only produced The seascape is filled with huge waves, but once it hits the target, it immediately brings disaster to the Japanese soldiers on the target ship. The heavy cruiser Kaohsiung was hit by two aerial bombs in this round of bombing, one of which hit the ship. The tail signal tower, with the rumbling explosion, the signal tower and the sun flag on it were torn into pieces. Several Japanese soldiers were blown away by the air waves and fell into the blue waves with screams. The three hundred kilogram aircraft Unless the bomb hits key parts such as ammunition depots and oil depots, it is difficult to cause fatal damage to the Japanese ship. Of course, if the bomb delivery technology is superb, it can also tear the hull apart by hitting the side of the ship and cause serious damage to it. Li Shengguo The naval aviation cadets of the squadron have obviously not reached this level, so even if the bombs they drop can hit the Japanese ships, they are limited to the structures on the ships. Even so, for those lightweight destroyers, such a blow It was still devastating. Three Japanese destroyers were hit by bombs in this round of bombing. One of the ship's islands was hit by three aerial bombs in a row, causing the main building of the ship, including the more than thirty Japanese inside, to be destroyed. torn into pieces and flattened directly,
Twelve Tiger Sharks attacked, one was shot down, one was injured, and eleven completed bombing, but in the end they only hit four enemy ships, and the other bombs were all fed into the sea. This made Li Shengguo very dissatisfied. You know The Tiger Shark is a dive bomber, and it is known for its accurate bombing. "Ge Lao Tzu, failed." He muttered, and Li Shengguo dejectedly ordered to climb back.
Feng Aokong didn't know if he noticed this, but encouraged him through the intercom: "Li Shengguo, you did a good job."
"Ten percent hit rate, Commander, please stop mocking me." Li Shengguo was still very frustrated.
Feng Aokong shook his head and said: "This is the first battle. It's really good to be able to fight like this. When you go back, please immediately ask the commander-in-chief to send a seaplane to rescue Wang Shilin and Jiang Fangyou."
"yes."
It makes sense that Li Shengguo was dissatisfied with the results of the bombing, because after this round of bombing, Goto Ichiro breathed a sigh of relief and said to his men: "If it was a bombing of this level, then most of us should be Able to leave alive."
Feng Aokong praised Li Shengguo for doing a good job, but in his heart he was very dissatisfied with the effect of their bombing. Before ordering the second squadron to attack, he thought for a while and found the reason for the ineffectiveness of the first squadron. Li Shengguo and the others were still too cautious. , perhaps timid is more accurate, the key to dive bombers is the word "dive", which ensures the accuracy of bombing by shortening the distance to the bombing target. At this reasonable distance, the Tiger Shark Marine Corps of the Pacific Aviation Corps During training, three hundred meters was used as a reference distance, but actual combat proved that this distance was obviously too conservative.
Xu Sidong was obviously aware of this. After Feng Aokong ordered the Second Squadron to attack, he reminded: "Let the brothers get closer, so as to ensure the bombing accuracy."
Feng Aokong originally had this intention, but he was worried that it would cause greater battle losses, and even lead to more losses than gains. He could not afford this responsibility, so he responded to Xu Sidong: "This is the first actual combat for brothers, it is inevitable I'm nervous, why don't I be more conservative?"
Feng Aokong's words aroused Xu Sidong's dissatisfaction. He sternly said: "There are no immortals in a war. We can't even defeat a Japanese partial division without an aircraft carrier. How will we fight against the Japanese combined fleet in the future? Don't forget to formulate the commander-in-chief." The original intention of the Pacific Fleet, think about it, we learned from patients when they were afraid of Japanese soldiers."
Xu Sidong's words made Feng Aokong very ashamed. He responded loudly and then informed Meng Xiaojing, the squadron leader of the second squadron, that he would personally command this round of bombing. "Now I will command the battle. Keep the distance. Listen to me. Do not get into the two squadrons." No bombs are allowed to be dropped within a hundred meters." He shouted loudly on the walkie-talkie, and then flew out of the formation of the third squadron.
After entering the formation of the second squadron, he shouted: "I will be the first to attack. Everyone is watching to see how I attack."
"The captain is angry." Meng Xiaojing murmured, and couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.
As the captain of the Huangdi bomber group, Feng Aokong was naturally among the best in the Pacific Air Force in terms of flight skills and combat literacy. He took the lead and flew at the forefront. The fire net woven by the anti-aircraft firepower of more than ten enemy ships fell on his plane. It exploded frequently next to it, and it seemed to hit it several times, but in the end, he managed to pass through it without any risk.
His heroic performance was a great encouragement to Meng Xiaojing and others. Meng Xiaojing rushed down immediately and also started dancing on the fire.
Feng Aokong also guided his brothers while flying: "Don't just focus on the target, pay more attention to the muzzle pointing of the anti-aircraft guns of nearby enemy ships... Don't blindly pursue speed, stabilizing the fighter is the first element, so as to ensure bomb delivery." The accuracy...Liu Liang, be prepared."
Liu Liang was his bombardier. Black smoke exploded around the aircraft, and he felt the fuselage tremble. This made Liu Liang feel excited and nervous. Before he knew it, his body was completely wet with sweat. ,
Feng Aokong had the same mentality as him when he first entered the enemy ship's anti-aircraft fire blockade. But as the fighter plane dropped to an altitude of about 800 meters, he could clearly see the fireworks from the enemy ship's anti-aircraft gun muzzle, and he became calmer. When he came down, he was originally going to let Liu Liang drop the bomb when he dropped to a height of 200 meters. However, as he entered a magical state and his self-confidence greatly increased, he became persistent and said to Liu Liang: "No. My orders are not to drop bombs."
"Yes." Liu Liang replied, his right hand on the bomb release button was already covered with sweat.
Feng Aokong stared closely at an anti-aircraft gun on the Kaohsiung heavy cruiser below him. There were nearly ten Japanese soldiers there, two of whom were dressed as officers. The sight of the bombsight was still some distance away from the anti-aircraft gun. He kept steady. Control the fighter jet to rush downwards, with your eyes on the sight and the altitude instrument panel next to it, five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, Feng Aokong felt the sound of his heartbeat, and he suddenly shouted: "Start." Then he pulled the joystick back hard and at the same time increased the accelerator to the maximum.
Liu Liang's seat was slightly higher than Feng Aokong's pilot's seat, which allowed him to see the sight without much effort. He was too close to the heavy cruiser Kaohsiung, and the whizzing sound of the anti-aircraft shells fired by the Kaohsiung was almost right there. There was a ringing in his ears, which made him so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe. At this time, his face was covered with sweat, and the sweat seeped into his eyes, making them sore. However, he did not dare to wipe them, so he kept them open and dropped the bomb. The safety had already been turned on, the hydraulic pump had been started, and everything was ready, but there seemed to be something he hadn't thought of. At this moment, Feng Aokong's words began to reach his ears, and he was like a taut clockwork. Likewise, my heart contracted violently, and my whole body pressed forward, causing my right palm to hit the bomb release button heavily.
