Chapter 240 The Battle of Nanjing: The Battle of the Battle of Nanjing

On June 7, 1937, it was an extremely appetizing morning for His Excellency Prince Hatohiko, the substitute commander of the army dispatched by the middle branch of the Japanese Empire. The aircraft carriers of the Japanese navy moored outside Wusongkou were attacked by the overwhelming Chinese air force.

When Hatohiko Asamiya heard the news, he was having breakfast and was preparing to completely destroy the victory of the battle of air force in order to attack the *** airport in order to attack the ***. Hatohiko Asamiya was extremely satisfied with his surprise attack plan. The BF-109 of the Rehe Army Isn't the F multi-purpose fighter powerful in the air? Then we said that the imperial army would destroy all of you on the ground. As long as we have the air sizing power over Nanjing, the initiative of the Nanjing campaign will change hands.

However, what surprised Hatohiko of the Imperial Palace was that he had just sent all the fighters to attack the four main field airports and two standby airports in Jiangbei. As a result, the fleet moored outside Wusongkou was attacked by the Chinese Air Force, which had an absolute advantage and almost poured out. It was said that the war situation was abnormal. It's so tragic that even Chinese bombers loaded with bombs directly hit their own warships?

For the crazy behavior of the Chinese Air Force, Hatohiko Chaoxiang Palace can understand, because in his memory, during the Shanghai War, a Chinese pilot who jumped by a skyd was blown by the wind and fell to the Japanese military position. The renamed pilot killed four imperial soldiers in a row with a revolver, with the last bullet. After killing himself, Hatohiko Chaoxiang Palace even remembered the name of the Chinese pilot, his name was Yan Haiwen.

Hatohiko Asakamiya decided to immediately convene the head of the army aviation unit belonging to the 3rd and 4th flight divisions and the liaison chief of staff of the naval aviation to hold an emergency meeting.

The 3rd and 4th Flying Divisions are all expanded from the former Shanghai Dispatching Army Flight Force. It is under the command of the First Joint Air Force of the Army Air Force, under the command of Commander Dotaro Totsuka, the Second United Air Force, the commander of the commander, the commander of the three majorsada Sanlizhen, the 21st Air Force, the commander of the commander, Colonel Hasegawa, the second The 13th Air Force, Commander, Colonel Okada, Adding the 22nd Air Force, Commander Sōyuki Shinnosuke, and the special Twelfth Battle Team for the synthesis of the battle, Commander Major General Yoshiichi Miyata, the First Air Force of the Land Aviation Headquarters, the Commander Major General Shiro Takasu, the Second Air Force of the Land Aviation Headquarters, Commander Major General Naie Jiang Liulang and others were summoned by Hatohiko Asakamiya from his own headquarters and even from the airport command tower to the luxurious headquarters of Asakamiya Hatohiko to attend the emergency meeting.

As a result, everyone arrived for 20 minutes, but Hatohiko Asamiya, the convener of the "emergency" meeting, did not show up. Many senior officers of the Japanese aviation forces couldn't help but look at each other. Major General Takasu Silang, the commander of the First Air Force of the Land Aviation Headquarters, said coldly to Digging River Liulang beside him, "It's all our three. I don't know if the prince always does some angry things. Now it seems to be true? In such an important military operation today, the Chinese Air Force's warplanes attacked our warships in Wusongkou, but what are we doing? As commanders, we absurdly waited for an idiot to give us a meeting? That's not true."

Dig Jiang Liulang sighed helplessly and said, "I really don't know what His Majesty is thinking. If it was General Matsui Ishigen, I'm afraid that our army would have invaded Nanjing City at this moment. I heard that we have fought for 12 days, and the troops in front of us suffered heavy casualties. The troops only advanced to the walls of Nanjing and fought like this. If you go down, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight against Nanjing when you reinforce the five divisions.

Hasuegawa, who was sitting aside, looked around and whispered in a low voice, "Those cowards on the front line have lost the battle. I heard that the one who reported our air force is not, saying that we can't control the air spower and can't destroy the artillery in China. This is the real bastard. Chengde's time The Chinese people don't have any planes yet. Our army has fighters, heavy artillery and chariots, but it's the same, isn't it that bullet town? Now that we have lost the war, we don't review our own faults, and we still have to smear us.

As soon as Hasegawa's words fell, the substitute commander came to His Royal Highness Prince Hatohiko of Kamiya! The senior officers of the Japanese army present immediately stood up and saluted one after another!

Hatohiko looked at the rumble of cannons and explosions in the direction of Wu Songkou, and looked around the people here carelessly and said, "Those arrogant guys of the navy always think they are superior to us. Now it's all right. In front of the bomb, whether it's the army or the navy, everyone is equal.

Because all the people present were army generals, Toshiichiro Nishida, the liaison chief of staff of the navy, had not arrived yet, so everyone present laughed heartlessly. The following Japanese generals were also shocked by the off-line of Prince Hatohiko of Asamiya, a guy who never spoke through his brain and always used his buttocks to think about problems. Shocked.

It's like it's not the warships of the Empire that have been bombed outside, but the Chinese!

The five aircraft carriers of the Japanese army's Chinese fleet were attacked by more than 300 Chinese air force fighters, and many of them, together with the destroyers, light cruisers and heavy cruisers escorted them, were severely damaged. However, the Chinese air force was not equipped with torpedo attack aircraft, and it was very tolerant to hit the Japanese aircraft carrier with 500 pounds of shells. Yi, as long as there are two or three flying decks hit by them, the Japanese aircraft carrier hit by 500-pound high-explosive bombs on the deck will need at least six or eight months of emergency repair to fully restore combat effectiveness.

However, it takes a lot of luck to sink the Japanese aircraft carrier, because the Chinese Air Force and the Rehe Flying Tigers, and even the Soviet Volunteer Air Corps to Aid China are not equipped with corresponding types of bombs suitable for attacking large surface ships, such as spiral tail armor-piercing blasting bombs, sharp armor-piercing incendiary bombs, etc.

Ordinary high-explosive bombs can only cause heavy casualties on the surface and personnel of the ship, but it cannot sink the ship. You should know that when designing the surface combat ship, the survival ability of the ship should be placed before its fire projection and combat effectiveness, so the fuel tank, oil station, and ammunition depot of the military aircraft carrier should be separated. It is difficult to be easily hit by the ground.

Although more than 20 warships of the Japanese fleet outside Wusongkou have rolled out thick smoke, not many of them can really be sunk. Many Chinese people in Shanghai are climbing high to look up to the restoration of the Southern Division. Some journalists from various countries in the British, French and American concessions have also seized the highest point one after another. The wanton shooting made me extremely angry. The photo.

However, many foreign journalists have gradually found that although the offensive of the Chinese Air Force has been wave after wave, the bomb that really hits the Japanese warship has not posed much threat. That is, although it is very lively, the real damage to the Japanese warships is not great? And it's very strange that the warplanes of the Army Air Force in the direction of Hongkou have not yet come to reinforce? And where did the fighters of the naval aviation that kept taking off go? Is the Japanese navy completely relying on the ship's anti-aircraft firepower to passive defense?

With the concentration of nearly 70 warships of the Japanese army outside Wusongkou, and the formation of a tight fire blockade network through coordination, the losses of the Chinese Air Force suddenly increased.

The nine "Henger" light bombers of the 8th Brigade of the Air Force, which have been hovering at high altitude, have been hovering at high altitude looking for appropriate opportunities to enter the battlefield. In order to increase the bomb load, they only have one-way fuel. One is to give up the fighter parachuting after bombing, and the other is to drive the plane to hit the ship.

Most Chinese pilots have estimated that it may be difficult to sink the large surface ship of the Japanese ship with only 500 pounds of shells. The No. 1029 "Northpro" light bomber hit the Japanese ship Yaeyama, and the Japanese ship Yaeyama almost sank, making the nine "Hengger" light bombers The pilot's eyes are bright.

You should know that neither the "Nospro" light bomber nor the "Hengger" light bomber is a horizontal bomber. Its 1,500-foot bomb hit rate on dynamic targets on the sea is only about 2%, that is to say, a hundred aerial bombs can only hit two or three.

So most of the Chinese bombing crews ventured into the anti-aircraft fire circle of the Japanese army, increasing the hit rate by diving and dropping bombs, and severely hitting the Japanese army's aircraft carriers, which can give the morale of the whole Japanese army a great deterrent and blow. The pilots of the Chinese Air Force understand that the Japanese army understands better.

Li Hao, as the leader of nine "Hengger" light bombers, found that a large aircraft carrier of the Japanese army seemed to have full horsepower while rolling black smoke, and the anti-aircraft firepower on it was much more fierce than that of Kaga, Fengxiang and other ships. Li Hao immediately decided that this kind of military heavy aircraft carrier should be the emperor. The new heavy aircraft carrier "Kamifu" of the National Navy.

Therefore, because the "Hengger" light bomber is not equipped with a radio like the BF-109F multi-purpose fighter, Li Hao shook the wings of the aircraft, pointed the head of his bomber at the heavy aircraft carrier, and pushed open the side window and launched one to Kamifu. Red flare.

Nine "Hengger" light bombers suddenly began to climb, and aimed their fighter noses at the aircraft carrier Kamikazu. The Kamikado, which was the first to start to avoid, also found the offensive intention of the "Henger" light bomber formation of the Chinese Air Force, so the Kamikao began to contact with radio and lights. Nearby destroyers and cruisers carry out anti-aircraft fire blocking.

Boring the army's dense anti-aircraft fire network, the nine "Hengger" light bombers belonging to the Eighth Brigade of the Chinese Air Force, like generously died in the air knights, went straight to the Japanese army's "Shenfeng" air carrier.

The Japanese soldiers in the anti-aircraft gun position on the aircraft carrier Shenfeng of the Japanese army howled and fired desperately under the command of the gun officer. A hit "Hengger" light bomber rolled on a Japanese destroyer, causing a series of explosions.

Boom! The "Hengger" light bomber piloted by Li Hao hit the command tower of the Kamifu with thick smoke, bombarding! In the orange explosion flame, the lives of the Chinese Air Force warriors have been sublimated in the fierce explosions! Honor will be with them.
