The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 690 It's Incredible

Hudson and the chief of staff of the fleet really did not expect that Gao Jiu would personally fly a plane to attack the Japanese flagship.They were taken aback and stood up involuntarily.

Gao Jiu's status is really very important. When he came to the Guam base this time, the senior officials of the Mi Army specifically told Hudson and others that within the scope of their control, they must ensure Gao Jiu's safety and provide him with relevant information. Serve.

If Gao Jiu had an accident in their fleet, Hudson and the chief of staff would have to bear heavy responsibilities.

Hudson said: "Mr. Gao, your status is so important, how can you let you do this kind of thing like ordinary soldiers charging into battle?"

The chief of staff also said: "Yes, Mr. Gao, these things can be done by the soldiers of our rice army."

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "It's okay, I haven't beaten the Japanese for a while, my hands are itchy, and I just went there to enjoy myself. Don't worry, I will be back soon."

Hudson and the chief of staff still disagreed, and they really couldn't bear the consequences of Gao Jiu's accident here.

Gao Jiu said solemnly: "According to your current tactics of attacking the Japanese army, it is very difficult to destroy the Japanese flagship. Doing so will cause more bombers to be lost in vain, and most importantly, more pilots will be sacrificed.

In order to sink the Japanese flagship as soon as possible and minimize the casualties of the soldiers, it is up to me to complete this task. "

Hudson, the chief of staff and others are currently facing an embarrassing situation. The Japanese task force is retreating to the Coral Sea at high speed. It is certain that the reinforcements of the Japanese Navy are also rushing to the No. [-] sea area.

If the Japanese task force cannot be wiped out as soon as possible, the US Navy will not only miss a great opportunity to destroy the Japanese task force, but may also suffer heavy losses due to the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.

The key to solving the Japanese fleet as soon as possible is to destroy the Japanese flagship and destroy the command system of the Japanese task force.

In order to achieve this goal, many pilots of the Mi Army had been sacrificed. Therefore, Gao Jiu's proposal made Hudson and the chief of staff very tempted.

Seeing that Hudson, the chief of staff and others were still hesitating, Gao Jiu said, "Time is running out, don't argue any more." After speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Hudson, the chief of staff and others were very moved. They immediately sent a transportation boat to send Gao Jiu to the aircraft carrier, and at the same time issued an order to the commander of the carrier aircraft to temporarily obey Gao Jiu's command.

Not long after, Gao Jiu came to the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier.Colonel Ayman, the commander of the Mi Army's carrier-based aircraft, was already there to greet him.

Colonel Aiman ​​had also heard about Gao Jiu's legendary deeds, but he still had some doubts about whether Gao Jiu was familiar with the Mi Army's carrier-based aircraft.He pointed to an A09 bomber and said, "Mr. Gao, have you ever flown this kind of aircraft before?"

Gao Jiu casually stated the technical parameters of this bomber, and Colonel Ayman and the Mi Army pilots around him believed that Gao Jiu was indeed familiar with carrier-based aircraft.

They no longer had any doubts, and expressed their acceptance of Gao Jiu's command.

Colonel Aiman ​​asked: "Mr. Gao, what kind of tactics do you plan to adopt to attack the Japanese cruiser King Kong?"

Gao Jiu said, "Bring a pen and paper."

Immediately, a flight staff officer from the Mi Army brought a flight logbook and a Parker pen.

Gao Jiu drew symbols representing the Japanese fleet on the paper, and then drew three small arrows, explaining his attack tactics to them.

Colonel Aiman ​​and others believed that Gao Jiu's tactics were feasible, but they were very worried that Gao Jiu would personally fly a plane to attack the Japanese flagship.According to Gao Jiu's attack plan, although the possibility of destroying the Japanese flagship is extremely high, Gao Jiu is definitely close to death.

Hudson has already explained to Colonel Aiman ​​that if they think that Gao Jiu's combat plan is not feasible or that Gao Jiu's mission is too dangerous, they have the right to refuse to execute Gao Jiu's order.

Colonel Ayman said: "Mr. Gao, we have already understood your tactics, and we will carry out this task by ourselves."

Gao Jiu said: "You don't have to worry about my safety, I am [-]% sure that I will be able to complete the attack mission and return safely."

Aiman ​​and the others still wanted to stop Gao Jiu, but Gao Jiu said firmly: "This matter is settled like this. I have been authorized, and you must accept my command. Make preparations immediately and start attacking in 15 minutes."

Aiman ​​and others knew that although Gao Jiu's tactics were ingenious, it was difficult for their pilots to complete this arduous task with confidence. Even if they completed the task, there was absolutely no possibility of survival.

Since Gao Jiu was so confident, they agreed with Gao Jiu's opinion.

Colonel Aiman ​​and the pilots of the Mi Army respected Gao Jiu very much. They stood at attention together and saluted Gao Jiu.

The commander of the Japanese task force led the fleet towards the Coral Sea at high speed. Every minute passed, they were one step closer to the safe area.

The commander of the Japanese task force is a senior naval general with rich combat experience. He knows that the Mi army is eager to destroy the task force, so they are also eager to sink the King Kong cruiser to destroy the command system of the task force.

Therefore, he deployed the cruiser King Kong in the middle of the escort ships to prevent the attack of the Mi Army Air Force.

So far, the King Kong cruiser has repelled two bomber attacks from the Mi Army, and he basically has a bottom line in his mind.He believes that the Mi Army can only organize one or two more attacks on the King Kong cruiser at most, because the Mi Army has a limited number of aircraft carriers, and they cannot withstand the loss of a large number of bombers, and they will no longer have the ability to continue to attack. King Kong is gone.

The commander knew that the next attack by the bombers of the Mi army would definitely be more violent.Therefore, he specially strengthened a destroyer behind the King Kong to increase the anti-aircraft firepower.

The Japanese commander's judgment was very accurate, and soon after, a large number of Mi army planes appeared behind the task force.The anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns on the Japanese ships were immediately ready to repel the attack of the Mi bombers.

The Mi Army's bomber fleet quickly approached the Japanese task force. Just as they were about to enter the Japanese air defense firepower network, the Mi Army's fleet suddenly divided into three parts, and the Mi Army's aircraft flew to the two sides of the fleet respectively. On the other side, it seems that the Japanese task force is going to be surrounded on three sides.

After the commander of the Japanese army received the report, he immediately ordered the escort ships to intercept the aircraft of the Mi army.

In this way, the Mi Army aircraft fleet flying to the two wings of the task force successfully attracted a considerable part of the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower, and the Mi Army aircraft following the Japanese fleet directly rushed towards the Japanese cruiser King Kong.

Soon after, three fleets of the Mi Army rushed into the Japanese air defense firepower net from different directions.

The Japanese anti-aircraft artillery immediately fired violently into the sky, intercepting the Mi Army's aircraft.For a while, the guns were rumbling, and the planes of the Mi Army were shot down in the sky.

Just as the Japanese army was shooting fiercely into the air, a Mijun H-2 torpedo attack aircraft flew close to the sea and flew towards the Japanese task force.

This torpedo attack aircraft is less than 3 meters away from the sea surface, and the color of the aircraft is very similar to that of the sea water, so it is difficult to spot from a distance.

This torpedo attack plane was piloted by Gao Jiu.He flew the plane to the front of the Japanese task force, and saw several Japanese ships scattered on the sea, blocking Gao Jiu's sight, and he couldn't see the location of the King Kong cruiser for a while.

Gao Jiu continued to fly, and even passed through several Japanese ships.

At this time, the attention of the Japanese naval officers and soldiers was all in the sky, and no one noticed that the plane piloted by Gao Jiu flew into the space between the task force.

However, the huge roar of the torpedo attack aircraft still alarmed the naval officers and soldiers on the Japanese ships. Soon someone discovered the torpedo attack aircraft and hurriedly tried to intercept it with artillery fire.However, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the ship are used for air defense, and it is impossible to lower the muzzle to a shooting angle lower than the height of the ship, and can only watch the torpedo attack plane fly past.

Among the weapons on the Japanese warships, there are also weapons that can hit aircraft flying close to the sea surface, that is, the small-caliber rapid-fire guns equipped on the warships, which can block the sea surface with artillery fire.

It is a pity that the torpedo attack plane driven by Gao Jiu was too close to the Japanese warship, and the hull of the warship blocked the sight of the rapid-fire gunner, forming a blind spot for shooting.

The other Japanese naval officers and soldiers were impatient, and they simply prepared to fire at the torpedo attack aircraft with rifles and other light weapons.It's a pity that they don't need these light weapons at all, and when they took them out of the warehouse, the torpedo attack plane had already flown over.

The Japanese commander on the King Kong cruiser received the report and hurriedly ordered a frigate close to the cruiser to stop in front of the cruiser in an attempt to use the frigate's hull to block the flight path of the torpedo attack aircraft.

So the frigate approached King Kong at high speed.

However, it was too late.The naval officers and soldiers on the King Kong cruiser saw a small black spot appearing on the sea ahead, and the small black spot rushed over quickly.

Gao Jiu drove the torpedo attack plane, quickly flew to a distance of only 500m from the King Kong cruiser, and launched the torpedo.

The torpedo fell into the sea, and then flew towards the King Kong cruiser.At the same time, driven by inertia, Gao Jiu's torpedo attack plane also flew towards the King Kong cruiser.

The commander of the Japanese fleet and the naval officers and soldiers on the King Kong watched the torpedo cut through the waves and plunge into the belly of the King Kong cruiser.

Almost at the same moment, the torpedo attack plane piloted by Gao Jiu also flew in front of the King Kong cruiser.

The torpedo exploded violently, and amidst the flames soaring into the sky, a large hole was blown out near the waterline in the middle section of the King Kong cruiser, and icy sea water poured into it violently.

The moment the torpedo attack plane was about to hit the King Kong cruiser, the plane lifted up, almost brushing against the King Kong's stern splint, and flew over.

The height of the torpedo attack plane from the deck was only more than 1 meter, and the strong airflow driven by the plane actually threw two Japanese soldiers on the rear deck into the sea.

The King Kong cruiser suffered heavy damage, and there was no possibility of repairing it. It tilted instantly, and the Japanese officers and soldiers on the cruiser jumped into the sea to escape.

The commander of the Japanese task force still stayed in the cockpit. Due to his misjudgment, the task force was ambushed by the Mi fleet. The USS cruiser lived and died together.

A Japanese naval officer persuaded the commander to take care of himself and command the remaining warships of the task force, but the commander was very stubborn and refused to leave.

A naval officer of the Japanese army made a sudden move, knocked out the commander, and carried him out with everyone, put a lifebuoy on him, and jumped into the water.

After Gao Jiu drove the torpedo attack plane over the King Kong, he lowered his altitude again, continued to fly close to the sea surface, passed through the gaps between the Japanese ships, and soon left the control area of ​​the Japanese task force, and then sent the plane Pull up and head back towards the aircraft carrier.

The attack fleet of the three Mi Army carrier-based aircraft did not go deep into the Japanese air defense firepower network. Most of the fighters they sent this time were fighter jets. They flew faster than bombers and were more flexible. They only played the role of luring the enemy. , After attracting the anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese army, they returned quickly without causing major losses.

The commander of the Mi Army's carrier-based aircraft personally drove a fighter jet and participated in this mission to lure the enemy.After breaking away from the anti-aircraft fire network of the Japanese warship, he did not leave immediately, but circled in the air.

When he saw with his own eyes that the Japanese cruiser King Kong began to sink after the explosion, he excitedly reached out and snapped his fingers, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Mr. Gao succeeded, the Japanese destroyer King Kong has been sunk." .”

Hudson, the chief of staff and others who had been waiting for the news couldn't help cheering when they heard the good news.

Hudson said with emotion: "It's simply unbelievable. Mr. Gao is as amazing as the legend says."

Hudson was concerned about Gao Jiu's safety and asked, "Is Mr. Gao safe?"

The commander of the carrier-based aircraft said: "The situation is unclear, the battlefield is too chaotic, and the torpedo attack aircraft driven by Mr. Gao cannot be seen."

The chief of staff said worriedly: "Mr. Gao, don't let anything happen to you!"

At this moment, Gao Jiu's voice came over: "I have returned safely and am about to land."

On the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, the officers and soldiers of the Mi Army watched the sky nervously.

When they saw the figure of the torpedo attack plane, they burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Soon after, the torpedo attack plane driven by Gao Jiu landed on the flight deck. The officers and soldiers of the Mi Army surrounded him and applauded warmly to welcome Gao Jiu's triumphant return.
