Chapter 239 Nanjing Defense Battle of the Jereland Light Rider

With the sad alarm of the Japanese aircraft carrier, the nearby Japanese destroyers began to sail towards the flanks of the aircraft carrier. While using anti-aircraft guns to carry out aimlessly to stop shooting, they drove themselves to the flanks of the aircraft carrier to prevent torpedo attacks by the torpedo planes of the Chinese Air Force. It is known that the destroyers of the Japanese military defense aircraft carriers have been on standby during the boiler boost.

However, heavy aircraft carriers need to be fueled and boosted, and it takes at least an hour to maintain the lowest speed. At this moment, for Chinese pilots, the Japanese aircraft carriers are simply standard projectile fixed targets.

The Chinese pilots piloted 21 "Northpro" light bombers of the second team and the 12 "Douglas" light bombers of the sixth brigade, the 8th brigade dispatched nine "Hengger" light bombers, and the Flying Tigers dispatched all 37 BF-109F multi-purpose fighters, plus the flight. The strike was popped up, and 32 I-5 light bombers of the Soviet Union's aid to China support air force formed five attack waves.

The roaring "Douglas" light bombers and the "Northpro" light bombers formed the first and second wave of attack formations. The "Northpro" light bombers and "Douglas" light bombers were produced by Boeing in the United States in the mid-1920s, and the other in the early 1930s. Products, these two light bombers are not the main models of the U.S. Air Force. They are transitional products developed by Boeing and McDoor. The U.S. Army Air Force and Naval Air Force have only made a small number of purchases and have not been installed on a large scale.

The system of the U.S. Air Force is different from the Japanese version. The Japanese air force has no reading ability. It only has army aviation and naval aviation. Before the large-scale intervention of the United States in World War II, the air force had a reading air force system. However, the army also has a reading ability aviation unit, and the navy also has a reading ability aviation force, equipped with There are two types of similar models of road-based and sea-based fighters.

During World War II, the U.S. P-40 fighters, P-47 fighters, P-51 fighters, B-17 air fortress, B-29 super fortress, etc., but it does not mean how good the surnames of the "Nospro" light bomber and the "Douglas" light bomber can be.

The bombers of "Northpro" light bombers and "Douglas" light bombers are less than two tons, and the bomb racks in their cabin can only hang four 500-pound aerial bombs. For large Japanese ships such as aircraft carriers and battleships, 500-pound aerial high-explosive bombs are still insufficient.

Moreover, these two light bombers are basically land-based and are used for scattering bombing. For bombing maritime targets, both the "Nospro" light bombers and the "Douglas" light bombers are very suitable.

Because the "Northpro" light bombers and "Douglas" light bombers are neither horizontal bombers nor dive bombers, and the Chinese Air Force pilots who attack sea targets are also extremely inexperienced, why it is always popular in countries around the world to separate land-based air forces from sea-based air forces, army and navy The combat conditions are different, and there is a big gap between the models and abilities of the deployed models.

Therefore, the bombers of the Chinese Air Force should try their best to break into the Japanese army's close-range anti-aircraft fire circle, and this pair of light bombers with weak protection break into the anti-aircraft fire network composed of Japanese aircraft carriers and destroyers, light cruisers and heavy cruisers, which is almost as dangerous as suicide.

In the distance, the Japanese warships also began to make fires. As more and more Japanese warships entered the battle positions, the Japanese anti-aircraft fire also began to intensify. Due to the excessive sea breeze, coupled with the fierce anti-aircraft fire of the warships, the first two waves of the attack " Less than ten Northpro light bombers and Douglas light bombers entered the attack position.

However, the light bombers of the Chinese Air Force, which broke in with the hot anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese army, were immediately shot down by the Japanese army and injured one.

The injured Chinese Air Force "Nospro" light bomber is the No. 1029 "Nospro" light bomber of Captain Gao Haitao and co-pilot Zeng Hongbo and correspondents, the bomber Li Ji, and the rear machine gunner Hao Huaide.

One of the two engines has stopped. The tail machine gunner Hao Huaide and the projectile Li Ji have been sacrificed. Gao Haitao turned around and looked at the co-pilot and correspondent with farewell eyes. Zeng Hongbo, who was hit by shrapnel in the chest and stained with blood and red flight suit, pointed to the warship with his finger and nodded vigorously.

Nospro light bomber No. 1029 rushed to the heavy cruiser Yaeyama with rolling black smoke.

The captain and first mate of the Japanese navy on the bridge of Yaeyama have been stunned? Looking at the larger and larger light bombers, the Japanese army shouted in despair!

1029 "Nospro" light bomber directly hit the Yaeyama viaduct bridge and the first main chimney with four 500-pound high-explosive bombs. The violent explosion directly destroyed the Yaeyama bridge, which also severely damaged the Yaeyama boiler system. Four of the six rotary fuel boilers The station cracked and stopped, and the anti-aircraft heavy gun on the Yaeyama immediately stopped rotating. The Yaeyama, which had lost its power, ignited a fire. The powerless water pump could not be pumped. In addition, with the effect of a large amount of fuel combustion of the aircraft, the Yaeyama emitted thick smoke.

The aircraft carrier Kaga was the first target of the Chinese Air Force's attack. After several close-range losses, a 500-pound high-explosive bomb directly hit the rear fighter of the Kaga elevator. The Kaga immediately emitted thick smoke, and several fire-in-strike troops jumped into the sea.

The target of the BF-109F multi-purpose fighter belonging to the Rehe Legion Flying Tigers hit the Fengxiang. The 100-pound bomb could not hit the Fengxiang at all, but the BF-109F fighter's bomb hit rate was extremely high, and the 37 BF-109F continuous swarm bombs would The Fengxiang was bruised all over, and the Fengxiang sank the slogan of the eleventh expulsion team in the evasion.

Originally, the BF-109F fleet came to compete for air s control, but after the six Type 9-6 carrier-based attack aircraft guarded over the Japanese aircraft carriers were shot down, the Japanese aircraft carriers did not turn around one after another to prepare to release the aircraft? And there are no fighters on the deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier? In addition, the firepower of the air defense of the military fleet reacts very quickly? Where did my plane go?

What did Gao Zhihang, the commander-in-chief of the attack, suddenly realize? It is said that all my planes have been dispatched? According to the calculation of the time when his fleet attacked the Japanese army, Gao Zhihang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. All BF-109F multi-purpose fighters were equipped with radios. Gao Zhihang immediately called the command aircraft and reported to Nanjing and various field airports. The Japanese military group would surprise attack our army's field airport around Nanjing.

After calculating the wind direction and time, Gao Zhihang simply estimated the fuel of his fighter plane. After the report, Gao Zhihang decided to return all the fighters immediately and intercept the return fleet of the Japanese army.

Zhang Xuewu, who was anxiously waiting for the telegram of the attack group in front of him, closed his eyes with a cup of tea. Huang Feier looked at the very tired Zhang Xuewu and hesitated for a moment, or called softly, "Commander Zhang? Commander Zhang? Zhou Zhirou, the commander of the Air Force, telegram.

Zhou Zhirou's telegram? Zhang Xuewu received the telegram inexplicably, and it said that the 8th Brigade of the National Government Axe was approved to send nine "Hengger" light bombers to attack the military aircraft carriers.

Zhang Xuewu raised a telegram doubtfully and said to Huang Feier, "Is Zhou Zhirou the commander of the Air Force? What does he mean by giving me this telegram? Do I still need my approval for how many planes and models are dispatched? Or let me know?"

Since Zhang Xuewu's gaffe after drinking that day, Huang Fei'er deliberately avoided Zhang Xuewu. Huang Fei'er looked at Zhang Xuewu with strange eyes and shook her head helplessly and said, "You put forward this plan. You are the commander of the highest garrison guarding Nanjing. At this moment, Chairman Jiang has done everything you put forward. I support you all."

Zhang Xuewu frowned and looked at Zhou Zhirou's telegram again. Huang Feier continued: "The nine "Hengger" light bombers of the eighth brigade are said to be a kind of short-range bomber. In order to increase the bomb load, they dismantled the defensive weapons and auxiliary fuel tanks, and the nine "Hengger" light bombers of the eighth brigade. The plane only had one-way fuel. Their fighters were damaged in previous operations and were not taken off, but all the pilots decided to attack forcibly in violation of the order, including Commander Zhou's two nephews.

"Exterr other light riding?" Zhang Xuewu slowly put the telegram back on the table. It was more than millions of ordinary people who sacrificed their loved ones in this war. The nine "Hengger" light bombers of the Eighth Brigade of the Air Force are undoubtedly the modern anti-level light cavalry against foreign humiliation and invasion! They deserve this name.

As the middle [***] team that resisted the invasion of the Japanese invaders in history, the Chinese Air Force was the only arms whose no one was captured and surrendered. The four heavenly kings were all stained with blood in the sky, tragic and tragic and tragic. In a desperate situation, the heroes of the Chinese Air Force rose up to resist until they died without regret, for this numbness and decaderence. The era of waste is injected with a stimulant. An era needs heroes, and a nation needs heroes!

Zhang Xuewu knows very well that he is sticking to Nanjing, which is a land of golden fans, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, which must be strategically but tactically, is almost untenuable.

Nanjing City has been full of powder and beautiful women since ancient times! However, Zhang Xuewu is determined to recreate Nanjing's steel spirit with noble sacrifices. The enemy has steel bombs, I also have flesh and blood, Kou has samurai, and I also have a Chinese soul!

The telegram from Gao Zhihang shocked Zhang Xuewu's spirit, but he immediately became nervous and immediately issued a warning and evacuation order to Nanjing and all field airports!

I don't know if it's too late? Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath. Is there really such a coincidence? I chose the same tactics as myself? Even implemented on the same day?
