When Feng Aokong was eyeing the two Japanese commanders, they were also eyeing him. Feng Aokong was flying at the front, and his flying attitude was very well controlled, which naturally attracted their attention. "There, aim and fire." "Ba Ge, where are you fighting? Did you see that fighter plane? Yes, it's him." A major and a captain pointed at Feng Aokong's Tiger Shark and directed the two anti-aircraft guns around them to bombard them, which made them extremely dissatisfied. Unfortunately, dozens of artillery shells were fired, but none of them could hit the target. As Feng Aokong controlled the fighter plane to get closer and closer to them, the two Japanese officers became more and more angry and felt deep fear at the same time. Finally, that Unable to bear the incompetence of his subordinates, the Major kicked the Japanese shooter away from the anti-aircraft gun position, took his place and began to operate it himself.
Under the command of Captain Goto Colonel, the Kaohsiung has resumed its forward motion. The Kaohsiung moved forward slowly to facilitate the destroyers behind it to get closer. After the Min-02 and Min-03 submarines successfully dived into the seabed, the Kaohsiung The two heavy cruisers such as the No. 1 became the key protection targets of the raiding fleet. Those destroyers were obliged to protect them even at the risk of being blown up. With the anti-aircraft firepower provided by these destroyers, the fire net over the two heavy cruisers suddenly became The increased concentration made this round of bombing by Feng Aokong and his team look even more dangerous.
When Feng Aokong's Tiger Shark had penetrated less than 500 meters away from the Kaohsiung, from the perspective of the two Japanese officers, they were able to determine that the center of its bombing was the anti-aircraft battery where they were located, which made the major go crazy. , he shouted: "Come on, come on." His face was ferocious, his eyes were wide open, and he used his crosshair to hunt Feng Aokong's tiger shark while firing shells fiercely. The confrontation between him and Feng Aokong was very tense. It quickly attracted the attention of other people on both sides of the war. Both of them were the top commanders of their respective fighting units. Moreover, under Feng Aokong's active attack, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, which made it easy for others to associate with each other. that this was a deliberate confrontation,
From the perspective of the HNA cadets, Feng Aokong's Tiger Shark seemed to be flying through fireworks, and was surrounded by danger at every moment. From the perspective of the Japanese air defense soldiers, every time Feng Aokong's Tiger Shark got closer, they were in danger. It added one point. Some people even couldn't help but worry that even if Major Kameda could hit the target at this time, the China fighter plane would crash on the Kaohsiung. This would definitely be a disaster for them.
Feng Aokong himself did not think so. The closer the distance, the more clearly he could judge the trajectories of most of the enemy ship's anti-aircraft shells, so he could choose the most appropriate maneuver to avoid them. After feeling the obvious vibration in the fuselage, Then after the fuselage became obviously lighter, and knowing that the bomb was successfully dropped, he shouted loudly: "Okay." Then he pushed the control stick to the left, "Woo," the tiger shark suddenly turned 90°, and then made contact with the sea surface. The vertical posture flew past the Kaohsiung against the backdrop of violent explosions and booming fireworks.
Ten heavy aerial bombs smashed down with a whistling sound. The first one landed on the sea in front of the bow of the Kaohsiung. There was a loud "rumbling" sound and stirred up a water column dozens of meters high. The second one landed on the sea in front of the bow of the Kaohsiung. The third one followed and fell side by side, hitting the artillery position that the major was holding on to. Amidst the thunderous explosion, two groups of flames rose up. The major and the men around him only had time to instinctively let out a scream. Together with the two anti-aircraft guns, they were torn into pieces...
Major was not fighting Feng Aokong alone. In the captain's room, Goto saw a huge hole suddenly opened in the belly of Feng Aokong's Tiger Shark, and then a black bomb rolled down. His heart tightened suddenly and he immediately gave in. The deputy gave the order to dodge with the left rudder full. Goto's reaction was quick, but the distance of 100 meters was only a little more than four seconds for a free-falling bomb, which was not enough time for the Kaohsiung. The huge ship made a big directional adjustment, so continuous explosions exploded on the Kaohsiung. Seven of the ten bombs dropped by Liu Liang actually hit the Kaohsiung, which directly turned the Kaohsiung into a sea. sea of fire,
Feng Aokong set an example for his brothers with his outstanding performance and made them forget their fear. Most importantly, he made them understand the essence of dive bombing. One Tiger Shark dived down one after another, although three of them were successively attacked. The Japanese ship's anti-aircraft fire hit the ship and crashed into the sea. Four cadets lost their young lives as a result. However, the other Tiger Sharks successfully completed low-altitude bomb drops, which directly caused heavy damage to the surface ships of the raiding fleet. Three were hit. Among the Tiger Sharks, one of them crashed directly into a destroyer under the control of pilot Yu Hua. The destroyer's ammunition depot immediately exploded, directly blowing the ship into two pieces. The ship also became the first A Japanese ship that was directly sunk,
The Huangdi bomber group was originally tasked with weakening the anti-aircraft firepower of the enemy fleet, but they still had one squadron left. Four Japanese ships had already been sunk, which made the captain of the torpedo plane group Xiang Chenggong suddenly anxious. , there are only eleven floating ships in the raiding fleet, and four ships are suddenly missing. If the bomber group is allowed to attack again, then the torpedo planes may not have a chance to participate in the battle. Xiang Chenggong angrily asked Xu Sidong for a fight on the intercom: "Commander, Let us go, if we don't attack, Feng Aokong will eat all the meat."
The reason why Chen Shichang sent a group of fighters, bombers and torpedo planes to participate in the battle this time was because he hoped that they could all get actual combat training. Xu Sidong, as the commander-in-chief, naturally had the responsibility to complete this combat deployment, so he ordered the bomber group to stop the attack and instead let the Towards the successful torpedo plane group,
Twelve fighter planes attacked, but three were shot down. The battle damage ratio was 25%. This also made Feng Aokong realize the shortcomings of the troops in training and actual combat. There were still seven enemy ships left, and the torpedo aircraft force was enough to deal with them. He did not Insisting that the Third Squadron continue to participate in the battle, he ordered the Second Squadron, which had completed the bombing, to return immediately, and led the Third Squadron to attack the successful brigade.
Compared with large ships such as heavily armored heavy cruisers, although bombers can cause great damage to their personnel and equipment, they are not fatal. Therefore, when Feng Aokong led his troops to bomb the raiding fleet, Goto Shang was able to If you stay calm, you can survive, but the torpedo planes are different. When Xiang Chenggong personally led a squadron of Chinese sturgeons to dive into the attack, Goto's expression changed drastically. He looked around and found that almost all the ships were on board. Everything was filled with fireworks, and the anti-aircraft weapons of each ship suffered great losses. He realized that their doom was coming.
At this time, the Japanese sailors on the seven Japanese ships that had not suffered fatal blows had to stick to their posts. The others were either putting out fires or rescuing the drowning victims of the sunk friendly ships. After the heavy damage and the sinking of four friendly ships, no one among the Japanese sailors believed the captains' lies anymore. They were indeed new recruits to the navy following the Pacific Fleet and its naval forces, but this definitely did not mean that they would not fight. Why is the Pacific Fleet just a super toy of Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Yun? Such words can also deceive the ignorant people in the country. The roar of fighter planes sounded again and became clearer, and the sound of anti-aircraft artillery sounded again and became louder and louder. The denser the crowd, the Japanese sailors who were putting out fires or rescuing people looked up and saw the torpedo mounted under the belly of the Chinese Sturgeon. Many people exclaimed and lost their voices, their eyes full of despair.
"It's a torpedo plane."
"Torpedo, it's a torpedo."
...The Japanese soldiers passed the news to each other, and panic spread among the ships, even affecting the self-rescue of each ship.
Unlike Feng Aokong's bomber brigade, the Hainan aviation cadets who lacked actual Tiger Shark bombers had to pay tuition because they did not understand the difference between actual combat and training. Feng Aokong had to take risks to demonstrate to the success of the torpedo aircraft.
The navy cadets followed the tactical steps during training. After paying special attention to the range, they easily got started. They found the target, calculated an advance based on the speed of the torpedo and the sailing speed of the Japanese ship, and lowered the dive to the range.
Within the bombing height, press the launch button, one after another torpedoes fell into the sea from the belly of the Chinese Sturgeon, and then rushed towards the target Japanese ship through the waves, and bright water traces appeared on the sea, ending in
is destruction,
Twelve Chinese sturgeons were followed by twelve more. When the first torpedo that entered the water had hit the Japanese ship and exploded violently, the last twelve Chinese sturgeons also joined the attack.
All heavy torpedoes, for those destroyers of two to three thousand tons, as long as they are hit, whether it is the stern or the bow, it will be a devastating disaster. The captains of the surviving Japanese ships began to become hysterical.
They shouted desperately: "Left full rudder, right right rudder..." trying to avoid it by changing directions. Destroyers and light cruisers were fine. After all, they were smaller and relatively more flexible, so they evaded when faced with single-shot torpedoes.
It is relatively easy. Of course, this is when they can dodge freely. However, for the heavy cruiser Kaohsiung and another heavy cruiser, it is too difficult to avoid the kiss of torpedoes through this method.
,
The Kaohsiung was Xiang Chenggong's key attack target. In the first round of attacks, four Chinese Sturgeons took a fancy to it, including the one driven by Xiang Chenggong. Seeing that Goto could not avoid it at all, he had to order a block to his right.
The two destroyers on the side helped block the glare, "Tatemura-kun, I order you to speed up." "Oshima-kun, what are you doing, eight squares, don't turn, come sideways."...
The poor two destroyers had a chance to escape this first round of attacks, but under Goto's strict orders, instead of being able to dodge, they had to meet the torpedo's trajectory.
These two destroyers became the first two victories for the Ministry of Success.
