    At 1:50 sharp, Japanese fighter planes appeared in the drizzle. They were so densely packed that they blocked the sky and the sun!

    In the command cabin of the battleship, Chen Shaokuan felt sad when he saw this scene. With so many achievements, even if the bombers were only half, it would be enough for their fleet to drink a pot.

    This time Chen Shaokuan brought a total of 8 warships, including two light cruisers, four frigates, and two gunboats. These are the only assets left by the Chinese Navy. Once they are sunk by the Japanese army, the Chinese Navy will  It ceases to exist.

    Thinking that the mighty navy would end in such a tragic ending of being used as bait, Chen Shaokuan was heartbroken!

    It has been more than thirty years since the Sino-Japanese War. As an older generation of naval officers who was born in the navy and grew up in the navy, no one has more affection for the Chinese navy than Chen Shaokuan.

    Chen Shaokuan dreamed of building a powerful navy to compete with the Japanese army in the sea and avenge the shame of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.

    Especially after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, his navy was crippled almost overnight. From that time on, Chen Shaokuan never smiled.

    ??For nearly a year, he has been struggling in pain, but while struggling, there is always a faint fire of hope in his heart, which is the pillar of his entire life.

    As a naval officer, Chen Shaokuan is even a little afraid of the sea. He is not afraid of the danger of the waves, but of the loneliness of the open sea, because the shame of the Chinese navy is floating in the sea, and his brothers are also buried.

    For more than a year, Chen Shaokuan has been suffering from tremendous pain. It is a kind of twisted depression, a kind of pain that cannot be achieved, and it will gnaw at his heart mercilessly.

    He was covered in layers of skin and sweat. He worked hard to train himself and his soldiers.  He believed that one day he would lead his soldiers to fight the Japanese army on the sea with burning fire and blood, show off the power of the sea, and show the majesty of the Chinese navy.

    "However, today it all seems to be coming to an abrupt end. When these few remaining ships are finished, the navy will also be finished.

    But even so, Chen Shaokuan did not give up. He was not a weak person who would surrender, nor was he willing to sit still and wait for death.

    Subsequently, Chen Shaokuan issued an order for air defense operations to all naval vessels!

    Following Chen Shaokuan¡¯s order, all members of the naval warships entered combat positions, weapons and equipment were all ready, and the warships dispersed one after another!

    Speaking of which, the Japanese aviation commander Miki Osaka who arrived at the battlefield saw more than a dozen Chinese ships parked at the Wuhan pier. It could be vaguely seen that several of them were cruisers that they had been looking for for a long time. Judging from the tonnage, they should be  And the Chinese Navy flagship.

    Overjoyed, Colonel Miki issued the order for dive bombing!

    Following Miki Osaka¡¯s order, 46 bombers loaded with aerial bombs descended from the sky and dived towards the Chinese ships on the water.

    At this moment, the four air defense regiments under Li Guoyao's command located at the docks and on both sides of the Yangtze River were also ready for battle.

    Seeing the Japanese fighter planes swooping in, Zhu Haoming, Xu Youyan and others immediately ordered the troops to remove their camouflage. Then, anti-aircraft guns and a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns exposed their black barrels and aimed at the arrogant Japanese fighter planes.

    "Da da da"

    "Bang bang bang"

    The first to open fire was the naval battleship "Zhongshan". Several twin anti-aircraft machine guns and several anti-aircraft guns on this battleship opened fire at the same time. The intense firepower was directed at the swarming Japanese fighter planes.

    However, the Zhongshan ship itself was very old and had very weak firepower. It did not pose much of a threat to the Japanese fighter planes. Soon a fighter plane passed through the Zhongshan ship's firepower network and directed a heavy aerial bomb at the Zhongshan ship.  The stern of the ship was thrown down.

    Fortunately, the Zhongshan ship was still moving, and the aerial bomb eventually fell into the Yangtze River and did not hit the Zhongshan ship.

    However, the Japanese bombers had a full 46 bombers, and there were also 18 fighter jets. They were very powerful. The Zhongshan ship could dodge one aerial bomb but could not dodge the aerial bombs dropped by other fighters.

    With a loud "boom", the bow of the Zhongshan ship was struck by an aerial bomb. Two anti-aircraft machine guns on the bow were blown away. More than a dozen soldiers were killed and injured, and a raging fire suddenly broke out on the deck.

    The violent explosion also attracted Chen Shaokuan's attention. When he saw that the Zhongshan ship was damaged, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

    The Zhongshan ship was originally called the "Yongfeng ship". It was customized from Japan in 1910 by the Qing government at a cost of 680,000 silver dollars. After it was completed and returned to China in 1913,The Zhongshan ship successively participated in the movement to protect the country and fight against Yuan Dynasty. Later, it experienced major historical events such as the "Defense Movement", "Eastern Expedition to Counter the Rebellion", "Sun Yat-sen's Disaster", and "Zhongshan Ship Incident".

    At this time, the Chinese Navy had more than 130 ships. In addition to 25 self-sinking ships used to block river channels, 82 ships had been sunk by the Japanese army before.  Therefore, any warship is very valuable, even an old warship.

    What¡¯s more, the Zhongshan ship is still an important battleship. If this battleship is sunk, the consequences will be serious.

    In view of this, Chen Shaokuan immediately ordered: "Immediately cover the Zhongshan ship and fire at the Japanese fighter planes!"

    However, Chen Shaokuan also knew that in the face of such intensive bombing by Japanese fighter planes, their firepower was still too weak. Especially in order to strengthen the air defense firepower of Wuhan City, many cannons on warships were removed some time ago, so he thought  The possibility of escaping unscathed from the indiscriminate bombardment by Japanese fighter planes was extremely slim.

    However, just when Chen Shaokuan was anxious, he suddenly heard fierce gunfire from the shore, and then he saw the most shocking scene in his life.

    Almost at the moment when the gunfire sounded, those arrogant Japanese fighter planes disintegrated in the air as if they had encountered their nemesis!

    In an instant, more than a dozen fighter planes turned into burning fireballs and then fell from the sky. The fighters that disintegrated in the air were like giant bombs. When they exploded, they also implicated nearby Japanese fighter planes.

    Soon, several more fighter planes were tricked by their teammates. Some were beaten and fell to the ground, while a few others flew into the distance with black smoke and evacuated the battlefield directly.

    Suffering from this blow, the Japanese aviation troops were shocked and raised the flying altitude of the planes one after another.

    At the same time, those Japanese fighter jets also discovered the national air defense forces on the ground, and turned their noses to fire at ground targets.

    However, how could they know that in order to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese aviation force, Li Guoyao directly calculated the entire nearby area, and then deployed his troops according to the ballistic trajectories of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.

    As long as the Japanese fighter planes enter this area, as long as the defending soldiers fire at the same frequency, an airtight fire network can be formed in this airspace, whether it is a fighter jet or a rough-skinned bomber.  Don't even try to escape.

    Although the soldiers of the air defense regiment have not been trained for a long time, their cooperation with each other is still very unfamiliar, and they are inevitably a little nervous when facing so many Japanese fighter planes at once, but the results are still amazing.

    These Japanese fighter jets suffered a devastating blow as soon as they dived down. The powerful firepower network composed of more than 80 anti-aircraft guns from four air defense regiments, nearly a hundred Type 75 anti-aircraft machine guns, and dozens of ordinary heavy machine guns, forcibly  Shoot down half of the fighters and damage them.

    At the same time, the naval ships on the water were not far behind and opened fire to fight back. The Japanese aviation force suffered unprecedented heavy losses on the outskirts of Wuhan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
