"Commander! Our reconnaissance plane discovered that the Japs have a river fleet coming up along the Yangtze River. They are expected to arrive at us in another hour!"
Just when Zhou Weiguo and Yang Jie were planning some things in the future, He Yuchen ran up from behind and said loudly.
Zhou Weiguo and Yang Jie looked at each other, but they didn't expect the Little Japanese's third fleet to arrive so quickly!
"Do you know how many ships they have?"
Zhou Weiguo asked.
"About twenty. Among them are eight frigates of eight to nine hundred tons, and the rest are gunboats."
¡°Obviously, the Air Force reconnaissance planes have already collected all the information.
Actually, the little devils wanted to send destroyers up, but because it was not the water-telling period yet, it was a bit difficult for destroyers to come up, so they finally sent frigates and gunboats up.
And in their understanding, frigates and gunboats are enough to solve this matter.
"Haha! These little devils are really rampant! If they were on the sea, I really wouldn't be able to do much with them, but in the Yangtze River, I'm still sure to eat them! Yuchen, give me the order to order the dive bombers Of the three brigades, except for the first brigades that continue to support the frontline ground troops and cover the ground troops¡¯ attacks, the other two brigades are all going to attack. Be sure to keep all the little Japanese ships in the Yangtze River for me!¡±
"Yes! I'll go and deliver the order right away!"
Dive bombers, especially Stuka dive bombers, which were the most accurate dive bombers in World War II, were absolutely accurate against these frigates and gunboats.
When normally supporting ground troops, dive bombers can target a heavy machine gun position for bombing.
??????????? Can Stukas still be able to blow up such large frigates and gunboats?
At this time, in the east of Zhenjiang, a piece of the Yangtze River in the north of Jiangxinzhou, there was a river fleet heading west along the Yangtze River.
The sun flag hanging above is telling the world that this is the Japanese fleet.
At this time, the commander of this small fleet is called Kuroda Kato, with the rank of Colonel, and is the commander in charge of this squadron.
His chief of staff is named Heisuke Aoki, with the rank of Major.
"Kuroda-kun, we will arrive at our destination in an hour! Division Commander Tanisuke is so incompetent! He actually wants our navy to come to help. Don't they say they are invincible?"
It¡¯s funny to say that Tani Shoufu couldn¡¯t win the battle and scolded the navy for being incompetent, which actually delayed the war.
"The navy scolded Gu Shoufu for being incompetent.
"Aoki-kun, be careful! The commander of the Tanishou division is the empire's lieutenant general division commander after all!"
Kuroda Kato glanced at Aoki Heisuke reproachfully. After all, no matter how big the conflict between them was on land and sea, they were just a major and a colonel. They were talking about an imperial lieutenant general behind his back. This was really inappropriate.
"Hmph! Kuroda-kun, you are too cautious! They previously boasted of being invincible in Asia, but they were actually eaten up by a Chinese army for several divisions in a row. It really brings shame to the empire!"
It seems that Aoki¡¯s resentment towards the army is really extraordinary!
"Okay! We're afraid we'll have to return home after this battle is over!"
Kuroda Kato shook his head. He was very helpless towards his deputy, but he also knew that the current conflict between land and sea in the empire was relatively serious.
Especially when we entered the wartime system some time ago, the navy and the army had been arguing for a long time about whether to favor the army or the navy first.
"Enemy attack!"
Suddenly, a little Japanese sailor looked at the fighter planes flying over in the sky and shouted.
When Kuroda Kato looked up and saw the blue sky and white sun badge under the belly of the aircraft flying in the distance, he immediately knew that it was a Chinese aircraft and immediately ordered the fleet to conduct air defense.
Air defense!
This term is a joke for Stuka dive bombers, especially since they are small ships.
The only relatively good anti-aircraft firepower was the frigates, but they were in vain.
When these Stuka dive bombers flew over their heads, they dived down at a nearly vertical angle. Anti-aircraft firepower had no way to deal with them.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
¡°It all happened so fast. Kuroda Kato didn¡¯t expect these fighters to move so quickly. Less than ten minutes after they met, there was a bombardment.The bombers began to dive, and the results were self-evident.
Three Stuka dive bombers, carrying 500 kilograms of aviation armor-piercing bombs, launched a dive towards these gunboats and frigates.
Three Stuka dive bombers dived and dropped three 500 kilogram aviation armor-piercing bombs. The result was that the three frigates burst into flames, and the eight to nine hundred ton frigates looked as if they were about to sink.
This is the first time that the Little Japanese Navy has been attacked by such a dive bomber, and it was also a Stuka dive bomber.
"Eight~ga~air defense! Full air defense firepower! Also contact Hainan Airlines and ask them to rush to support immediately! We are being attacked by the Chinese Air Force!"
Kuroda Kato was furious when he saw this scene. The largest of their ships was a frigate of eight or nine hundred tons.
How can a frigate with such a displacement withstand a 500 kilogram heavy aviation armor-piercing bomb?
Their air defense was useless, to be precise, in vain.
One hundred and fifty Stuka dive bombers aimed at these more than 20 small ships. I don¡¯t know if Kuroda Kato was unlucky.
"Bang~"
"Boom~"
There was another loud noise. Kuroda Kato turned his head and saw that a gunboat not far away from him was directly bombed and sunk.
This gunboat is only over 300 tons, and it is pitifully small. A 500-kilogram aviation armor-piercing bomb directly blew it into two pieces. The sailors above are constantly jumping into the river.
"Order all ships to evade as soon as possible, and also go and fish out those sailors!"
Kuroda Kato¡¯s face was terrifyingly gloomy, but it was useless no matter how gloomy he was.
The attack by one hundred and fifty Stuka dive bombers has doomed them to destruction!
?? Continuous explosions continued to be heard, and gradually, more than 20 ships were reduced to the last seven or eight.
When Kuroda Kato saw this scene, and then looked at the group of bombers in the sky that looked like hungry wolves, he knew that he could only escape as soon as possible, otherwise he would not escape. I'm afraid I'm going to die here.
Um! Kuroda Kato was still self-aware, but what he didn't expect was that it was not possible that he would die here, but that he would definitely die here.
¡°Woo~wu~wu~¡±
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from above his head.
As soon as Kuroda Kato looked up, he saw a dive bomber diving towards their frigate. Its purpose was self-evident, naturally it was to kill them.
"Kuroda-kun!"
Aoki Heisuke also saw it, and he was shocked and wanted to push Kuroda Kato away.
But it was too late. A 500-kilogram aviation armor-piercing bomb was thrown from the belly of the Stuka dive bomber.
"Boom~"
In Kuroda Kato¡¯s eyes, a huge aerial bomb kept getting bigger and bigger, and finally exploded! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
