Chapter 231 Great Victory

Before departure, every pilot received an order personally issued by President Fang Jianxiong: If the aircraft encounters an irreversible situation, they must parachute to survive. Talents come first. There will still be wars, so stay useful.

Looking forward to the future.

This order not only did not damage morale, but instead brought the morale of all pilots to a peak.

Carrier-based aircraft from the four aircraft carriers came out in full force, with a total of 120 Swift-5 fighter escorts, 160 Osprey torpedo planes, and 156 Stuka dive bombers. After all the fighter planes took off, the Second Fleet began to accelerate towards Taizhou.

At this time, 120 Mustang fighter jets are on their way to escort us. They will arrive in half an hour at most.

The attack fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet is much smaller, with 102 Zeros, 88 torpedo planes, and 87 dive bombers. Level bombers are no longer used by everyone. The accuracy of this thing is too problematic, especially when bombing moving objects at sea.

Battleship. The fighter planes on both sides took off at the same time, and each deliberately circled, trying to avoid the other side's carrier-based aircraft from intercepting it head-on.

At 8:05 in the morning, the attack aircraft group of the Second Fleet caught up with the Japanese Combined Fleet and should have collided with the 80 escort Zero aircraft flying from Miyako and Ishigaki Islands. Seeing the densely packed aircraft group in the sky, Yamamoto Isoro was then

Six couldn't calm down anymore. Yamamoto knew that the opponent had rushed out regardless of the cost, which completely violated the combat rules of aircraft carriers. The problem was that Yamamoto also did the same thing. It is conceivable that the actual commanders of the two fleets were crazy.

Gamblers. One is that he must bet, and he cannot see the victory of the Japanese navy without taking a gamble. The other is that he is not willing to let the Second Fleet play the role of soy sauce, blocking his own future and the fate of the fleet. What is the dark side?

The tiger is so worried that he can't even care about it now.

She Zhenxing's courage came from the first battle. At that time, the two navies, which used carrier-based aircraft to attack each other, could be said to be equally matched, and the Chinese navy even took a slight advantage. A feeling that the Japanese navy had just that.

.So we decided to launch a battle to show off! Interestingly, this plan was approved by the Navy Command, which meant that it was approved by Marshal Fang.

Is the Japanese navy strong? Strong! But in Fang Jianxiong's view, a single sea duel made the Japanese navy's strength a thing of the past. Yamato and Mutsu have no place at all. In the face of advanced radar

, battleships basically have no chance to exert their firepower in naval battles. If compared with battleships, Fang Jianxiong has no confidence. But compared with aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, President Fang has already demonstrated his confidence.

At 8:10, the Japanese navy's attack aircraft group discovered the main force of our second fleet. The Mustang fighter group, which had already arrived one step ahead, immediately rushed to intercept it. A sea-air battle began.

Facing the Chinese aircraft fleet coming out in full force, Yamamoto knew that something was not good. It was difficult to do anything good today on this scale. He could only hope that the attack aircraft fleet could make some gains. 80 escorted Zeros, let alone block them.

, faced with the overwhelming number of Swift-5s, they could only risk their lives and attack the dive bombers regardless. In the last battle, the Japanese Type Zero found that the risk was too high when attacking torpedo planes, because the torpedo planes were in a dense box formation.

, when using its own four machine guns to defend itself, the Zero's skin is too thin. It cannot withstand beatings at all. And it is difficult to break up a group of torpedo planes.

A puzzling scene appeared in the sky. The Zero ignored the own safety and chased the dive bomber, while the Swift chased the Zero. Planes were constantly hit by bullets, and some were dragging black smoke whining towards them.

When they fell, some were disintegrated directly in the air.

In front of the six heavy machine guns of the Mustang fighter, the fragile body of the Zero was hit nine times out of ten and then exploded and disintegrated in the air. Most of the ones that were hit and fell down with black smoke were Stuka dive bombers.

, this Sino-German cooperation bomber, when faced with the Zero, has a strong spirit of resistance but a little less ability.

The torpedo fleet was completely ignored and allowed to fly over the Japanese Combined Fleet. The only thing they could count on was the anti-aircraft firepower of the Combined Fleet. This kind of all-or-nothing dispatch was honestly too unscientific, that is, the East China Sea.

It's a little too small. Anyone who dares to play like this in the Pacific Ocean will definitely die in an ugly way.

At 8:22, eight torpedo planes that successfully broke through the anti-aircraft fire network targeted the Hiryu and dropped eight torpedoes one after another. The Hiryu tried its best to avoid it, and actually dodged six torpedoes, and the remaining two were hit by a destroyer.

Blocked, it's really good luck. Luck has a certain number of times, use it less and less. When the Stuka that escapes from the Zero and kills it appears in the sky, the Dragon's good luck ends. At 8:33,

Three bombs hit the Hiryu, slowing it down. Upon seeing this, the attack fleet immediately concentrated all their strength to attack the Hiryu. At 8:40, the Hiryu, whose luck had come to an end, was hit by two torpedoes, causing a huge explosion.

After the sound, the Hiryu began to stop and circle on the sea, and began to sink slowly at an eye-catching speed. Yamamoto Isoroku ordered to abandon the ship. After receiving the order, Yamaguchi Wen let the others leave and sat in the command cabin.

, said to the adjutant: According to the tradition of the navy, as a captain, it is your duty and you dare not leave.

General Yamamoto Wen became the first general of the Japanese Navy to die on a ship since the outbreak of World War II.

After sinking the Hiryu, the attack swept away the Zero attack fleet and began to desperately attack another aircraft carrier, the Kaga. Although at this time, more than half of the Second Fleet's torpedo attack fleet had been lost, there were still more than thirty torpedoes.

The aircraft did not find a chance to drop bombs, and at this time, a group of dive bombers also entered the battle group. There were nearly a hundred aircraft of the two types of aircraft. Staring at the Kaga was a beating. The escorting Swift fighter jets also did not do anything.

Lonely, split half of it and use machine guns to dive and shoot, reducing the pressure on the torpedo planes and dive bombers as much as possible.

At 9:10, the Kaga was hit by a torpedo and her speed slowed down. Dive bombers swarmed in and dropped more than 40 bombs, eight of which were direct hits. Then two torpedo planes found the bomb.

With the opportunity, two torpedoes hit, and the Kaga could not avoid the fate of being sunk.

When the Chinese Navy's attack aircraft group was frantically attacking the Japanese Combined Fleet, the Japanese Combined Fleet's attack aircraft group was also frantically attacking the main force of the Chinese Navy's Second Fleet. Although the proximity fuze bomb is a nightmare for enemy aircraft, it is not a panacea.

The Japanese pilots with plasters tied on their heads came here to fight. When they saw the fleet, they started to attack regardless of anything. At 8:30, the Guangdong aircraft carrier was hit by a 500-kilogram bomb on the front deck, causing a big hole. Emergency treatment

After that, they slowly left the battle group, but luck seemed to be taking care of the Japanese navy. A torpedo plane broke through the anti-aircraft fire network and launched a torpedo at the Guangdong aircraft carrier. The dog's one actually hit it, and it was still alive.

It went off. Forget it, this torpedo actually caused two boilers to explode. Not counting the more than 20 casualties caused by Chengren, the entire Guangzhou was basically crawling in a barely stable state.

Of course, the Japanese attack fleet would not miss this opportunity. They desperately escaped from various pursuits and then launched an attack on the aircraft carrier Guangzhou. Until the end of the battle, the Guangzhou was hit by three 500-kilogram bombs and two torpedoes.

.Finally unable to save, She Zhenxing painfully ordered to abandon his base and escape.

Compared with the toughness of China's escort fighter jets, the Japanese attack fleet has a harder time. The Mustang fighter jets faced off against the Zero, regardless of their ability or tactics, they completely destroyed the Zero. The entire Japanese navy's attack fleet, in more than an hour and a half,

After the fierce battle, only 26 Zeros returned. All the remaining aircraft were shot down.

When the battle on the side of the Chinese Second Fleet ended, the battle on the side of the Japanese Combined Fleet continued. The Nagato became the target of attack. More than thirty torpedo planes and dive bombers surrounded the Nagato and attacked it.

It is a pity that the god of luck today is really standing next to Yamamoto Isoroku. After half an hour of siege, although the Nagato was hit by one bullet, the hull was still basically fine. However, there was a heavy cruiser in order to

The flagship was sunk after fending off torpedoes.

This sea-air battle lasted for two hours and ten minutes. The Japanese Navy's combined fleet lost two aircraft carriers, one heavy cruiser, one light cruiser, and three destroyers. A total of 182 Zeros participated in the battle, and 100 were lost.

, all 88 torpedo planes were shot down, and all 87 dive bombers were shot down.

The Second Fleet of the Chinese Navy lost one aircraft carrier, one torpedo-blocking light cruiser, two destroyers, 15 Swifts, 20 Mustangs, 64 torpedo planes, and 55 dive bombers. The pilots parachuted according to the order.

As many as 135 people were rescued. Most of the Japanese pilots had no chance to parachute.

It was a desperate battle between the two sides. In the final comparison of the results, China had a slight advantage. But in terms of casualties, Japan obviously suffered greater losses, especially those excellent pilots. The training mechanism of the Japanese Navy is obviously not as good as China's.

investment.

After Fang Jianxiong, who was in Shanghai, received the news, he let out a long sigh. There was basically no suspense about the contest between the Chinese and Japanese navies. Because at that time, the Chinese Navy's Third Fleet, after three days of continuous sailing, was already close to

It is less than 600 nautical miles away from Naha, and we will be able to reach Naha early tomorrow morning, Duanyamamoto Isoroku's home base.

At five o'clock in the morning on April 6, the Naha military port was quiet. The observation post soldier on duty, Ishihara Saburo, was taking a nap in front of the telescope absentmindedly as usual. He felt an uncomfortable need to urinate. Ishihara hesitated again and again, but got up and walked outside.

, standing in front of a stone facing the sea to urinate. The sea breeze was a bit strong, and Ishihara, who was holding it in too hard, failed to notice that the wind blew his pee and wet his trousers, but he did not care about it at all. The reason is simple and confusing.

A thick smoke suddenly appeared on the sea.

At this scale, it is impossible to build one or two warships. The Japanese Navy's combined fleet was still fighting China in the East China Sea yesterday. It was said on the radio that it would sink three Chinese aircraft carriers and sink two of its own aircraft carriers.

China's losses were greater than the tonnage. The Japanese are used to deceiving themselves and others, and they have always been good at deceiving others.

So the navy has won a great victory, and the whole country is celebrating. Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya are not among them. Everyone has almost fled. Without the threat of napalm bombs from cannons, who has the heart to celebrate? Only people in some small and medium-sized cities have not been visited by bombs.

, I still don’t know what the hell-like fire on earth is.

The fleet that appeared in Naha at this time must not be the fleet of the Japanese Navy, not to mention the buzzing sound of fighter jets already appeared above the head. Ishihara Saburo was stunned for three to five minutes before he remembered to return to the small lookout

Whistle, sound the alarm with all your strength.

The creator of the thick smoke on the sea is naturally the Chinese Navy's task force. In the morning light, the task force is already setting up an attack formation. The first wave of carrier-based aircraft has been released, targeting the surrounding areas of Naha.

of several airports.

On the flagship aircraft carrier Shanghai, Chen Ce's face was full of murderous intent, and he said to the staff beside him: "Send a telegram to the headquarters. All our task forces have arrived at the scheduled location, and the carrier-based aircraft have already flown over Naha. Victory is certain."

Will belong to China!"

The gun jacket was pulled open, revealing two to three hundred black gun barrels. Once the carrier-based aircraft killed the Japanese planes on the airport, the naval guns could begin to exert their full effect. The rumbling explosions quickly created a cloud of clouds.

The smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the three aircraft carriers released 36 Swifts, 50 level bombers, and 72 dive bombers. Considering that there were not many big fish in Naha Port, the torpedo planes were not even brought out, and the extra ones were Swifts.

The plane's sneak attack went smoothly. More than a hundred Type 97s and more than sixty Type Zeros parked at the airport were killed before they could take off. The dive bombers also focused on taking care of the artillery shells on Naha Island. One

After many hours of raging, dozens of plumes of thick smoke rose across the island.

The carrier-based aircraft returned successfully, and the fleet was approaching Naha Port. Three main battleships, 18 305 cannons, and 9 380 cannons, took the lead in tilting their ammunition toward Naha Port.

The battleships that cherished the warships were not even willing to play salvo fire, and they only fired three guns at a time. The other battleships also started firing, with more than a hundred cannons with calibers of more than 200, and they destroyed Naha in just ten minutes.

The military port turned into a sea of ​​fire. The Black Tiger's heart-breaking plan was successfully completed. At this time, Chen Ce didn't know the outcome of the East China Sea War, he only knew that he was having fun.

The bombardment lasted for two full hours, and the Naha naval port was reduced to ruins. Not to mention, after the bombardment stopped, the fleet immediately sent out a second attack wave from the aircraft carrier, and then took a stroll and dropped bombs on valuable targets.

.This second wave of attacks sank two light cruisers and two destroyers in Naha Naval Port. Then they left with satisfaction and went to chase the main force of the fleet.

During the retreat, Chen Ce received a telegram from the headquarters, saying: Our army has won a great victory in the East China Sea War, and your troops can return normally.

This news calmed Chen Ce. At that time, he thought that he would simply block the Combined Fleet. After thinking about it carefully, the risk was too great. The Combined Fleet also had several large battleships. If they were not under control, they would be fired with artillery shells.
Chapter completed!
