Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 164 Countdown to the sinking!
Without the protection of the air force, warships at sea are living targets.

Although the Izumo has a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft artillery and other anti-aircraft weapons.

But without the protection of the Air Force, it is still impossible to escape the fate of being sunk.

So fleeing is the wisest choice at this time.

Captain Wang sailed the boat, broke out from the mine, and then turned the rudder to the northwest.

Although at this position, it is very likely to encounter other Japanese warships, it will be more dangerous to go east.

Because the little devil's plane came from the east.

The Dragon Boat Festival guessed that there should be a small devil's aircraft carrier formation right at sea.

So it can be seen that at that time, the little devil's weapons and equipment were indeed several blocks away from China.The aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese army can compete with the old Americans.

The Type 40 carrier-based fighter, although slightly inferior to the Zero fighter designed [-] years later.However, he still performed well in the Songhu battle.

On September 1937, 9, two Type 5s fought three air battles with the Hawker of the Chinese Air Force, and the Japanese army claimed to shoot down three Chinese fighter planes.

On December 1937, 12, a Type 2 team led by Nango Mozhang shot down ten Russian-made I-16s without any loss.

1938年4月28日，28架九六式和18架九六陆攻轰炸机一起去轰炸武汉，中国空军和苏联援华航空队上前迎敌，日军宣称击落51架而自己损失4架。

Although later, China claimed to have shot down 21 fighters and lost 12 fighters.But it is clear that both sides are exaggerating the results.

However, this shows from the side that the Type [-] carrier-based fighter is definitely a carrier-based fighter with superior performance.

So when Duan Wu saw the roaring fighter jets in the distance, he began to frown slightly.

Because this kind of fighter is nothing in modern times.But in the early days of the War of Resistance.China does not have a fighter that can completely suppress the Japanese Type [-] fighter, and it is even worse.

"Tuan Zuo, what's the matter?"

Xie Jinyuan saw Duan Wu frowning.

Duan Wu seldom frowns, but every frown is a battle of life and death.

"It's okay, it's just a Type [-] carrier-based fighter jet of twelve devils!"

The Dragon Boat Festival pretended to be indifferent, and the soldiers believed it.

But Xie Jinyuan is not a fool.Seeing Duan Wu frowning, and then saying such words, it must be that the little devil's plane is difficult to deal with.

Although Xie Jinyuan's unit had never encountered a Type Zero fighter head-on, he had heard a little about a new fighter from the Devil.

An unprecedented pressure hit, but at this moment, there was a bang explosion. It turned out that the Japanese supply ship hit the mine that he had planted while chasing the Izumo.

In the continuous explosion and shock, the hull broke in the middle, and sank in a short while.

"Look, the little devil was blown up by his mine."

"Hahaha, you really deserve it. Grandma still wants to chase us?"

The soldiers were agitated, and being chased and intercepted by the little devils, they finally exhaled and raised their eyebrows.

It's just that they don't know that everything is done deliberately by Duan Wu.

He knew that the little devil had suffered such a huge loss, so he would not let him go easily.Therefore, the opening of the mine array was set at the opposite position of the little devil's supply ship.

If the little devil wants to pursue him, he must pass through the mine array he has set up.

And if the devils in the water are still there, they may open a safe passage for the supply ship.

But it is a pity that the little devil in the water was either eaten by a shark, or he was scared into the deep sea and drowned.

Anyway, all the devils will die in a bad way.

The devil's supply ship ventured through the minefield, but who knew it was so tricky, a wave hit, and a mine sank into the sea.

None of the devils on the boat saw it, so when the mine floated up again, it happened to hit the middle of the bottom of the little devil's boat.

So after an explosion, the little devil's supply ship broke directly and sank.

Of course, at this time, the crisis of Duan Wu and the others is still not resolved.

The little devil's Type [-] carrier-based aircraft is rapidly approaching, and it may be difficult for the Izumo to escape.

"All of them are there, ready to fight. The little devil's Type 7.7 carrier-based aircraft is nothing to be afraid of. There are only two [-]mm Type [-] machine guns on the fighter plane.

So far, I have only seen six bombers. Even if the bombs fall on the deck, don't be afraid.The Izumo cannot be sunk, and today we are going to create a miracle.Defeat a Japanese flying brigade with ship-borne weapons! "

The roar of the Dragon Boat Festival once again echoed throughout the Izumo.

The soldiers on the Izumo moved quickly, sounded the air defense alarm, and activated all the air defense weapons.

The Dragon Boat Festival stood on a high place and looked towards the east.

At this time, the sound of the little devil's plane's engine became more and more ear-piercing.That kind of ultrasonic vibration is enough to drive a person crazy.

Duan Wu stared at the other party firmly, with no idea in his heart.This may be the most uncertain battle he has ever fought.

The little devil's Type [-] carrier-based aircraft was very advanced at the time, and it was the first domestically produced all-metal monoplane fighter for the Japanese Navy.

In 1936, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' design defeated the Nakajima Airplane and won the bid, and then replaced the Nakajima Type [-] carrier-based fighter as the main fighter of the Japanese aircraft carrier. This aircraft can also be called the predecessor of the Zero-type carrier-based fighter.

Type Zero, that is the nightmare of the Americans, the devil in the eyes of the Allies.

Someone once joked that it was Type Zero, which gave the Japanese the confidence to go to war with the United States.

Therefore, as the predecessor of the Type Zero, the performance of the Type [-] carrier-based fighter will naturally not be much worse.Even in the early days of the Pacific War, the Type [-] carrier-based fighter jets were still the main force of the Japanese army, and they created brilliant achievements one after another.

In addition, the little devil's Type [-] land attack aircraft has also achieved brilliant results.

It not only played a key role in the war against China, but also acted as the vanguard of the Japanese army's attack on Nanyang after the outbreak of the Pacific War.

The Type 96 road attack aircraft took off from Taiwan Bend and violently bombed ground targets in the Philippines and Malaya. The Type [-] land attack aircraft that took off from French Indochina used torpedoes to sink the British Army in the Far East. HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales.

At that time, because the British army was used to the slow-moving biplane torpedo attack aircraft of the British army, when they suddenly saw the single-winged Type 96 Land Attack, it felt like a rush, and they panicked, but were easily attacked by the 96 Land Attack Sunk 2 battleships.

Therefore, in the early days of the Pacific War, the Devil's Type 96 land attack also played a major role, causing heavy losses to the British, American, and Dutch troops.

So when faced with such a fighter group of twelve devils, Duan Wu even predicted the future of the Izumo.

The Izumo will sink, and die ugly! .
