The air battle also started. The two Zeros flying on routine reconnaissance and shock missions finally discovered the enemy's situation. The good mood of the two little devils was ruined in an instant. They frantically rescued them, but ended up surrendering themselves.
Luo, crashed into a siege of six Whiteback Dolphins. With two against six, although the two little devils performed very bravely and showed off their flying skills, that was all. Haikou Aviation Corps
After experiencing the battle to defend Hainan Island, the student pilots have accumulated considerable experience. Faced with the death struggle of the two Japanese soldiers, they were not afraid.
Seizing the opportunity, he struck a fatal blow, turning the two Zero-type warships into a pile of tempered metal parts.
The Kisarazu Air Force is the leader of the Japanese naval aviation force, and every air force can be regarded as the elite of the Japanese air force. However, except for these two Japanese and Sato, others did not get a chance to fight a fair duel. The wooden flight on the Hosho aircraft carrier
The deck was simply not strong enough to withstand the bombardment of cluster bomb bullets dropped by the empty fortress. After the flight deck was destroyed, the Fengxiang aircraft carrier flight deck and the fighter planes in the hangar became decorations. Like their owners, their only fate was
Either it was blown up or swallowed by the sea.
The power produced by the cluster bomb explosion is not comparable to that of heavy aerial bombs, but it is superior in strike density, so it is particularly lethal to soldiers. Three aerial fortresses flew by, and more than 30 tons of bombs were poured onto the Fengxiang aircraft carrier.
Over an area of about three square kilometers in the center, rumbling explosions rang out one after another for about five minutes. Five minutes later, the Fengxiang aircraft carrier and several nearby Japanese ships were in mourning, and died from this round of bombing.
There were no more than five hundred Japanese soldiers. At the most dangerous moment, Souma was forcibly dragged into the captain's room by his subordinates, and was pressed down by several subordinates layer by layer. Only then did he escape. However,
, when he stood up staggeringly in the reverberation of the explosion, and saw the dilapidated ship island and several bloody men, the old Japanese suffered a heavy psychological blow, and his legs were weak as he sat on the bloody men.
On his body, he murmured: "Ba Ge, is this the end?"
No wonder the old devil is so depressed. For him, if the Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet will not escape a devastating blow this time, then his career will be over. Yamamoto and Koizumi have given him two chances, and this time even if he survives the disaster
, then someone must take responsibility for the destruction of the Hosho aircraft carrier fleet. Ordinarily, as the active supreme commander of the Western Expedition Fleet, Koizumi Toshiichiro should bear certain responsibility for this attack. However, Souma, who knew Koizumi's role in the empire, was
I don't even dare to hope.
The old Japanese was lost in thought and thinking about what happened after his death. The second wave of bombing came again. It was still the three overhead fortresses, but this time the bombing targets were changed to other Japanese ships.
When two Zeros and six Belugas were engaged in a fierce battle over the western suburbs of Manila, Gunat finally realized that the air raid was unusual. He immediately ordered the driver to stop the car, then took out his binoculars and looked up. The air battle
The results soon came. Witnessing the fall of the two Zeros with his own eyes, Gunat breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time couldn't help but yearn for it - if he had such an aviation force, then the tug-of-war in Manila would be over.
What are the development prospects?
At the headquarters of the US military in the Philippines, Wainwright IV also noticed something strange - intensive explosions came from the direction of the Cavite Naval Base more than ten kilometers away. No matter how stupid he was, he could guess that an attack was coming.
The target of the fighter jet cluster should be the Japanese Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet parked there. Looking deeper, now that the surrounding forces have the ability to air attack the Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet, who else will come besides the Xuebing Army? "It's the Xuebing Army again -
"The American thought bitterly, and asked his staff to find him a high-precision telescope, then climbed up to a tall building and watched the air raid with concentration.
Five minutes after the air raid took place, the Japanese officers in various land camps of the Japanese army finally realized that something was wrong. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the barracks and trenches. They looked up and saw groups of Japanese soldiers.
The fighter planes, which were obviously on the enemy side, all looked ashen, feeling the threat of death so close for the first time.
Of the twelve air fortresses, Ferro only dispatched nine, followed by Chinese Sturgeon torpedo attack aircraft. At this time, the air defense force of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet had been greatly weakened and was simply not enough to attack the Chinese Sturgeon torpedo attack aircraft.
Clusters create resistance.
Sato saw the opportunity quickly. After rushing into the sky, he saw that there was nothing he could do. He immediately flew towards the sea area where the Ryujo aircraft carrier fleet was located. The Japs officers brought out by Yamabegawa Mikansu all had a common characteristic, that is, they would never do anything.
Making unnecessary sacrifices. His decisiveness saved his life and brought detailed battle reports to Koizumi Minichiro. Of course, to a certain extent, this was equivalent to incising a deeper wound on Koizumi Minichiro's wound.
One knife.
There were thirty-six Chinese Sturgeon torpedo attack aircraft, each carrying two torpedoes. The Fengxiang aircraft carrier was the first to receive intensive care. Four Chinese Sturgeons successively dropped eight torpedoes on it. After a series of violent explosions,
, the Fengxiang aircraft carrier began to tilt outward, and it slid into the cold sea water with the remaining 600 Japanese soldiers and more than 30 fighter planes on it.
At the most critical moment, Huangcun, the captain of the Hosho aircraft carrier, led his men to find Soma Masaru and tearfully asked him to abandon the ship in order to avenge them in the future. As the captain of the Hosho aircraft carrier, Huangcun was buried with the ship.
His obligation. The little devil must have been mentally prepared, so he spoke very sincerely.
Souma politely refused: "When the air defense radar was damaged, I should have insisted on asking Mr. Koizumi to send someone to repair it. It was my fault that caused this scene to happen - someone should bear the responsibility for this attack.
The person responsible should also be me. You should leave as soon as possible. If you can still see Mr. Koizumi and Mr. Yamamoto alive, please help me bring a message to them——" At this point, Souma's heart overflowed with grievances.
The disaster made him shed tears. He took a deep breath to calm down and said loudly: "It is Xiangma who is incompetent. The Chinese people are really too cunning! The empire can no longer raise tigers to cause trouble!"
"Your Excellency——" Huang Cun's eyes welled up with tears again and he choked with sobs.
"Get off the ship quickly—what? Do you want to disobey my order?"
"No, no, Your Excellency, then goodbye!"
The Fengxiang aircraft carrier slowly sank. When Ferro saw this scene, his eyes flashed with light. He looked at the time and ordered: "Huang Meng, you should return."
The straight-line distance between Haikou Airport and Manila Bay is nearly 1,300 kilometers. Given the maximum one-way flight range of the baiji dolphins of 1,500 kilometers, if the baiji dolphins do not return, the remaining fuel will not be enough to ensure that they can return to Haikou Airport safely. It will cost a lot of money.
Luo had made preparations for this before. At this moment, in the southeastern coast of Hainan Island, the rescue fleet sent by Chen Ce was already on standby. Now, since there are no enemy planes in the air raid area, it is not too difficult for the white-tip dolphin group to stay here.
It's a big use, just in case, it's better to let them return first.
Huang Meng is the commander of the 401st Fighter Division. He also knew that this kind of thing should not be done carelessly. He immediately executed the order and took all the Baiji dolphins on their way home.
