Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Based on the experience of the last naval battle, water jets have no way to deal with well-prepared warships, especially large ships like the "Hiei". Water jets equipped with machine guns will at most cause a certain degree of damage to the warships.  riots, and when faced with warships that have updated or added anti-aircraft machine guns, their own vulnerability is undoubtedly exposed.

    However, the Yuh-1 dealt a fatal blow to the Japanese warships, and its power was astonishing. Therefore, after the war, the officers and soldiers participating in the war and Huang Shewang, the commander of HNA, believed that fish and thunder bombers should be vigorously developed in the future. Water planes can be used for rescue and logistics.  Support and reconnaissance purposes.

    But this is something that will happen in the future. Solving it now is the top priority.  The strategy of using water planes as cover and disruption and using Yuh-1 as the main attack force was passed on to all pilots participating in the battle. According to the reconnaissance results, the fleets assembled in Dalian, Yantai, Penglai, and Weihai all locked on the attack target: "Izumo"  Armored cruiser.

    It is the flagship and the leader in breaking into the Bohai Bay. The key is that its firepower and protective armor are inferior to battleships and the heavy cruisers "Hiei" and "King Kong" similar to battleships. It has a certain degree of certainty in fighting.  After all, you have to pick the soft persimmons and pinch them.

    There is no need for greater results, as long as one ship is wounded, other warships will be taboo.

    In the early morning, the three submarines of the 11th Brigade of the 1st Detachment were quietly staying on the seabed in a "pin" shape.  The water jets and fish bombers that had been concentrated the night before were all ready to go.

    In the early morning at sea, there was a slight mist, and the visibility was not particularly good, but it was not blinding.  The Japanese ship "Izumo" and the nine destroyers accompanying it moved forward cautiously in the mist.

    The heavy artillery buried on the islands and shores on both sides of the waterway has been avoided. As long as it does not move too far to both sides, the Chinese artillery can only watch from a distance.  According to intelligence, there are three adapted China cruisers capable of combat in the entire bay.

    Although its guns are not as powerful as its own ships, its speed will be very fast because the wealthy China Navy has replaced it with oil-fired boilers.  If you encounter it head-on, you must hit it with one hit, otherwise it will be very inconvenient if it slips away. After all, its 150mm naval gun is still very threatening against your own destroyers.

    As for my taller self, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not included. Isn¡¯t that asking for abuse?

    After passing the Laotieshan Waterway, the front suddenly becomes clear.  At this distance, there are no shore guns to threaten, and the Japanese ships will be like fish in the sea, without any opponents.  The officers and soldiers on the "Izumo" ship were jumping on the deck, preparing to attack various ports along the coast.  The Bohai Bay coast is so long that it is impossible to have naval guns everywhere. The undefended sea will be a place for the Imperial Japanese Navy to gallop.

    However, a violent roar came from a distance.  Captain Kakuji Tsunoda raised his head in surprise and saw a group of crow-like floating objects floating in the sky from far to near.

    "Compared to the arrogant army, the Japanese navy generals have received the most systematic training, so their personal military qualities are extraordinary.  Such an aircraft group is definitely not our own, because in accordance with the spirit of this battle, the "Chicheng" carrying carrier-based aircraft was used as a backup and did not go into battle-this is also the embodiment of the Japanese army's "big ship decisive victory" thinking.

    "Izumo" is not equipped with many anti-aircraft weapons.  The air force of this era has not seen any examples of serious threats to ships, so not only the Japanese army, but also maritime powers such as the United Kingdom and the United States - it is practical to equip a limited hull with a few more guns.

    This is also one of the reasons why the Bohai Fleet Headquarters decided to use the "Izumo" as the first battle target.

    A few anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are not enough to deal with the aviation aircraft all over the sky, right?  Not to mention that early anti-aircraft artillery used hot air balloons, reconnaissance aircraft and other relatively slow objects as attack targets, and the development lagged behind in suppressing artillery fire. Even though its hit rate was higher, how many anti-aircraft artillery shells can a warship carry?

    The siren sounded, and the other destroyers aimed their weapons as high as possible into the air.  I never imagined that such a day would come. How useful would these weapons with extremely powerful horizontal fire be in the air?  While the Japanese soldiers were avoiding the explosions ringing around them, all the sailors raised their rifles and fired into the air.

    This group of aircraft came from Dalian. According to the plan, they were used as interference tools to attract the attention of the Japanese ships and consume as much firepower as possible.  Although guided by Zhang Hanqing's advanced thinking, the specific battle arrangements were inevitably influenced by "human defense" tactics.

    The Shuihong-1 is operated by two people, one is driving, and the other is responsible for dropping bombs and shooting.  It has been fully explained before the war that each aircraft is designed to kill as many people as possible on the ship and use anti-aircraft firepower.  Although it will not cause actual damage to enemy ships, as long as the enemy is distracted or the defense strength is weakened, then it is the time for Yuh-1 to show its talents.

    ????????????????????Due to the load limit, the Water Bomber-1 can only carry 6 bombs that are pitifully weak, not even comparable to the explosive power of a 75mm howitzer, and the accuracy is extremely poor. Only a few bombs fell on the Japanese ship, and the others  They all fell into the water, causing huge waves to hit the sky.

    As for the target "Izumo", because its protection is relatively stronger than other destroyers, once its naval guns spit out tongues of flame, the Water Bomb-1 becomes a living target.  First it was one, then another, and then it was so close that the Japanese rifles could shoot it down.

    Therefore, the Japanese army was extremely arrogant. Kakuharu Tsunoda also found it unbelievable: "Are the Chinese people crazy? What's the use of rushing over like this? Even if you lie down and let you explode, the 'Izumo' with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons will not  It¡¯s nothing you can do!¡±

    However, he still admired the bravery of the Chinese pilots: "Although the Chinese have simple tactics, their fearlessness of death is still frightening. The Bushido of our Empire of Japan is nothing more than this, right?"

    In the clouds not far away, 12 Yuh-1s have slowly flown in and are waiting quietly.  Their comrades had blocked countless artillery shells and bullets for them. They would emerge from the clouds at just one command and deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese ship.  But when the order was actually given, they accelerated to the battlefield and saw a tragic scene.

    36 Water H-1s were damaged to varying degrees: it was lucky that they fell into the water. After all, they were water planes and had a different landing advantage than the army.  Those pilots who were disintegrated on the spot by artillery fire in the air could only return to the sea with their passionate souls holding their unrealized ambitions.  There was almost no blood to be seen, but the rumbling sound of artillery fire and the non-stop smoking aircraft in the sky seemed to express the intensity of the battle.

    There is no need for more confessions or sensational words. The Yuhong-1 pilots know that it is the death of their comrades that gives them a chance to win unexpectedly. If this opportunity is not grasped, the hard work, blood and lives of those comrades will be lost.  All wasted.  They also held the belief that they would die - if they were afraid of death in such an air battle, they would not be able to rush into such a barrage.

    The aircraft in the sky were basically cleared, and the entire Third Fleet was in jubilation.  Not to mention the Army's successive defeats, the Navy has also been losing troops and generals in the previous stage. Now, it has finally turned the page and it is our Third Fleet!

    They were still trying to target the Chinese planes struggling in the air. Some sailors even set up anti-aircraft machine guns and hunted the water planes and pilots that fell on the sea, regardless of the fact that the Chinese pilots who fell into the water were unarmed.

    So, when the Yuhong-1 Squadron suddenly appeared from the clouds, it was the Japanese Navy's turn to be shocked.  There had just been a burst of fierce shooting, which almost wiped out all the shells in the gun emplacement. While I was enjoying myself, I didn't expect that the real killer weapon had just arrived.  They screamed and hurriedly took bullets from the magazine, while trying to resist with their remaining strength.

    This opportunity is not to be missed.

    Zhang Chao swung the plane's nose fiercely, and right below him was the huge "Izumo".  Maybe its tonnage is not comparable to the "King Kong" class, but in the entire Third Fleet, it is the largest and the most recognizable.

    He is the squadron leader and the final commander of this operation.  Before departure, aviation commander Huang Shewang had explained to him the seriousness of the battle, and he was determined to die.

    In view of the previous experience that the accuracy of the fish bomber was very poor, they decided to fly the aircraft as close as possible to the Japanese ship before taking action. In this way, although the risk factor increased, the hit rate would be greatly improved. As the saying goes,  If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.

    The Japanese troops on the "Izumo" relied on their relatively strong anti-aircraft firepower to bite a torpedo bomber trying to approach it.  As navies, they are well aware of the power of fish and mines.  If it is hit by such an inconspicuous thing, it will be paralyzed directly; if two or more are hit, it will be scrapped or sunk. This is a choice between life and death, and you must fight for it.

    The Yuh-1 was destroyed nearly 300 meters away.

    Zhang Chao¡¯s eyes seemed to be bursting with anger. He waved his tail calmly, and two more planes rushed forward.  The target of this round is the "Izumo". The few fish bombers cannot disperse the bombing, otherwise not only will there be no results, but they will also be defeated by the Japanese fleet of numerous warships.  Only by fighting the loss of the entire squadron and the entire cover brigade and attacking this target with all our strength can we have a chance.

    The two planes rushed forward, one on the left and the other on the right. The pilot on the front of the plane had even seen the proud body of the "Izumo".  However, tongues of fire came out, and sharp shells exploded next to his ears. His vision began to shake, because the wings of the plane were hit again and it tipped over irregularly.

    At the last moment, he also saw the "Izumo" maneuvering in a snake shape to avoid a torpedo launched by the wingman.

    Alas, failed again!

    The somewhat enlightened Japanese destroyers began to fully support the "Izumo". They used barrages to firmly hold the last line of defense around it, and four more Yuh-1s were hit one after another.

    If we continue to fight like this, is it possible that the entire army will be wiped out?  But are you unwilling to go back?  The opportunity that Hainan Airlines gained by using dozens of aircraft as bait cannot be lost in such a hurry. Even if it is to die, it must be backed up!

    Zhang Chao decided to go aboard himself. With his skillful skills, he would seriously injure the Japanese ship even if it hit him!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Supporting the "Izumo", they used barrages to firmly hold the last line of defense around it, and four more Yuh-1s were hit one after another.
