Chapter 868 The first practice of air-to-ship

    ??

    The focused Japanese sailors also discovered the Chinese military plane.  But it was just a "discovery", because they had no good way to deal with these roaring objects above their heads.

    At this time, the air forces of all countries in the world, including major military powers, are still in the reconnaissance and transportation stages. The real air combat will be ten years later.

    Because this new branch of arms was born late in World War I, there was no chance to verify some of the opinions of some "supernatural minds" in the peaceful 1920s. Therefore, it had very little understanding of the damage caused by aircraft bombing, and had little understanding of air defense.  , then there is no way to talk about it.

    The anti-aircraft guns that had been born during World War I were almost never used in the war. At that time, everyone was focused on studying how to make the cannon more powerful and have a longer range, and there were few opportunities for anti-aircraft training.  As for air defense, they are all paper bombers¡ª¡ªin Asia, no navy can pose a real threat to Japan.

    The same goes for China.  This was the first time that an aircraft bombed a warship. Although some pilots had previously bombed the Chinese army on the ground, this was the first time for them to launch powerful torpedoes against moving warships at sea.

    So when the leading "Yohon-1" drew a graceful arc in the air, and then crawled towards the "Yura", the sailors on the ship watched in fear as this aerial monster became more and more serious.  At a close distance, some people instinctively raised their rifles, while others simply closed their eyes.

    The fish and mines were far away from the warship and I don¡¯t know where they drifted.  At this time, the accuracy of fish and mines and the level of pilots, cough!

    "However, the Japanese Navy is indeed rich in experience. When both sides were stunned, it quickly recovered its good military literacy, loading, aiming, and shooting in one go.  The urgently activated ship-borne anti-aircraft guns fired continuously regardless of the cost, and the second "Yuhong-1" was tragically destroyed. It exploded in the air with thick smoke and the regret of unrealized ambitions.

    "Yura" has 36 25mm anti-aircraft guns, which is quite powerful. In addition, there are 6 13mm anti-aircraft guns, which is no less powerful than an air defense regiment.

    However, the other two aircraft that arrived almost immediately had a chance. They took advantage of the fact that they were "attracted" by the firepower and made a dive to get close to the "Yura". At the same time, two torpedoes were shot out like arrows.  .  They fell into the water, splashed a little, and then lurked like snakes, arriving in an instant.

    I have to say that thanks to the sacrifice of the second plane, we got such a good opportunity.  You must know that in that era, due to the lack of precise guidance capabilities, aircraft bombs were dropped by the pilot's naked eyes and a pair of "iron hands" - let's call it clutch.

    Due to the inertia of the aircraft and air resistance, basically the farther the distance, the worse the accuracy of bombing.  To maximize the chance of destroying a target, the aircraft must be as close to the target as possible.  Under the guidance of this idea, the dive bomber came into being and became one of the main models of the Navy in World War II.

    Unlike the Navy, the Air Force favors horizontal bombers because of its different combat ideas.  This is a national responsibility, and the Air Force's position is to provide firepower support to the Army.  For dive bombers, because they carry a small amount of bombs and are easily shot down by ground fire, their entire body begins to be filled with a certain amount of defensive armor, and important parts of the body are protected. Later, they can withstand the impact of 12.7mm bullets.

    Although there are advantages, the disadvantages are also obvious: due to its own weight, it cannot carry more bombs, and its range is also relatively short.

    The Fish|Thunder bomber is one of them.  Due to technical limitations, Yuh-1 only carries one torpedo.  In other words, regardless of whether the target is still destroyed, once the button is pressed, it basically has nothing to do with it.

    The trajectory of the two fish mines in the water was quickly discovered by the lookout soldiers of the "Yura".  After a flurry of commands, the "Yura" rushed to avoid danger. The two torpedoes were actually bypassed, and their hollow explosions sounded in the distance.

    Not allowing the "Yura" to be more beautiful than the others, the "Tanikaze" also sounded the sharp sound of anti-aircraft machine guns at this time.  However, its firepower is much worse than that of the "Yura": only four 7.7mm machine guns.  This is purely for decoration, unless the fish gets into the center of its fire net.

    However, the bullet hitting the cockpit also surprised the Yuhong-1 pilot who was pressing the button. With just one evasive action, the torpedo being fired did not know where to hit.  In this way, even though he suffered no losses, this trip was in vain.

    ?? 12 Yubo bombers dropped bombs one by one, and there were loud explosions on the sea, but after the smoke passed, the two Japanese warships still stayed there alive

    Huang Shewang, who led the team, flew around the Japanese ship unwillingly. He was an overseas Chinese and was originally a pilot. Zhang Hanqing specially poached Qinhuangdao from the Yunnan Aviation Department.  First, he organized the Water Bombing-1 Squadron, then the brigade, and finally became the commander of the first water bombing aircraft wing of the Chinese Navy.After joining two new Yuh-1 brigades, he became the commander of the naval aviation arm of the Bohai Fleet and the first pilot general among the three fleets.

    He was originally supposed to take command of this battle, but in order to observe the effect of aircraft on warships at a nearby location, he personally participated in the battle.  The young marshal has always believed that the cannons of giant sea ships will give way to naval aviation in the future. As his most loyal supporter, he firmly thinks so.

    It¡¯s just that this time I¡¯m afraid the young marshal will be disappointed: a squadron of 12 torpedo bombers was beaten by an already wounded light cruiser and ¡°fleeed¡±, and also lost a pilot and a fighter plane!

    There is indeed a huge gap between the static targets and dynamic targets dealt with in daily training, and the interference of enemy anti-aircraft firepower also has a great psychological impact on pilots.  If you have the opportunity, you must strengthen the training in these two aspects. It is best to find some target ships for live-fire drills. You cannot save this money and this step cannot be omitted!

    The Yuh-1, which has no weapons, can only be used as a reconnaissance aircraft.  In fact, there was no need to conduct reconnaissance. The black smoke rising not far away told him that the detachment of the first destroyer fleet of the Bohai Fleet was speeding towards here.  Although there was no result in the previous battle, the Japanese ship's evasive actions interfered with its normal escape speed and attracted the Chinese navy.

    There was no point in staying any longer, Huang Shewang signaled to return.  This is not far from the base. Fly back quickly and let the second group of bombers come again!

    Ling Xiao looked at the fish bomber that returned without success, and thought calmly: "War at sea still relies on cannons. It's difficult to take advantage of others!"

    As the captain of the "Hai Chen" armored cruiser, China's largest surface ship, he does not quite agree with the "air victory theory" instilled by Zhang Hanqing.  Why should a plane costing about 10,000 yuan want to sink a warship worth millions or even tens of millions of yuan?  No, didn¡¯t the Japanese squadron sink a few ships by relying on our destroyers?  The remaining two ships are still up to us!

    As one of the two largest warships purchased by the Qing government after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the "Haichen" carried the navy's hope and responsibility to avenge its old disgrace.  Although there are many studies on the original Sino-Japanese War, thirty years later, when the warships of China and Japan meet again, will they repeat the same mistakes or can they avenge their past humiliation?

    History is watching him.  ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
