Age of Rebirth

Major Xiao Zhao, who has obtained the temporary command of the Manchukuo Bohai Cruise Fleet, obviously does not want these gunboats to ruin his plan. In his opinion, although the warships in his fleet are old and dilapidated, the power of the naval guns is not the same. What a small-tonnage gunboat can bear, "If you try to block the impact of our Imperial Japanese Navy fleet with a gunboat, the commander of China is either arrogant or mentally retarded!" Shao Zuo Xiaozhao thought coldly.

However, the sneer at the corner of Shaozuo Xiaozhao’s mouth has not dissipated. There was a scene where the muscles on the cheeks of the desperately determined Navy Major twitched uncontrollably. The more than 60 gunboats of the independent division fleet They lined up in a line and rushed forward, but just when they were about to enter the range of the naval gun fire, they suddenly made a neat big turn, drawing beautiful arcs on the sea surface, as if they were about to turn around and head towards the sea. run back?

Shao Zuo Xiaozhao looked puzzled, what are those Chinese people doing?Is it just to demonstrate? "Damn! You hateful Chinese people!" Shao Zuo Xiaozhao cursed viciously.

However, what happened next quickly gave him the answer he wanted. The speedboats of the independent division fleet did not run back, but turned into the fleet facing his own fleet. Immediately afterwards, a A tongue of flame spurted out from the opponent's gunboat, and immediately, there was a palpitating "chirp!" scream on the sea, and the sunny sky was immediately covered with ballistics.

"Hani?" All the Japanese officers and sailors asked in puzzlement. Naval battles were always a battle of naval guns against naval guns. How could there be such a way of fighting?What weapons did the Chinese gunboats use?

There was no time for the Japanese officers and sailors to figure it out. A hail of rockets enveloped the Japanese fleet in an instant, maybe one or two rockets.Why can't a warship of several thousand tons, although old, have a dozen or hundreds of rounds?

Shao Zuo Xiaozhao's command ship, because it rushed to the front, became the first target to be taken care of by the rockets, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" More than a dozen rockets landed on the deck of the warship, blasting into balls and rolling Fireballs of thick smoke, shrapnel whizzing and flying around, Japanese sailors on the gun emplacements.They became the targets of indiscriminate attacks, their bodies were torn apart by shrapnel, and they all fell to the deck screaming.

The gunboats of the independent division fleet and the naval battle-type "Thunder" rocket artillery shells prepared by the Dingbian Special Equipment Research Institute.Specially designed for use in naval warfare.In addition to increasing range and accuracy.The armor-piercing ability of the rocket is also specially increased. In addition, an incendiary agent is added. After the explosion, not only the broken shrapnel will kill the enemy, but also cause damage to the enemy warship.The burning flame can burn through the steel plate, and it is extremely difficult to extinguish.

This is the trump card in the hands of the fleet commander Tang Qiuquan, and it is also the confidence for him to dare to use gunboats to attack warships.Unfortunately, the junk warship commanded by Shao Zuo Xiaozhao became the target of the "Thunder" rocket launcher.

Accompanied by a huge explosion, thick smoke and flames rose into the air, Major Xiaozhao's command ship shook violently, like a drunken man, several rockets hit the position near the command cabin, roaring The shrapnel took away the lives of several staff officers around Major Xiaozhao. Major Xiaozhao was lucky, a piece of shrapnel took away half of his ears. However, at this moment, the Major of the Imperial Japanese Navy obviously couldn't care less about the pain. With an ugly face, he saw that clusters of flames were burning ferociously on his command ship.

"Damage control team! Immediately put out the fire, turn on the engine, and attack at the fastest speed!" Shao Zuo Xiaozhao issued a series of orders, but no one around him responded. He died, and on the deck in front of him, his soldiers were piled with corpses. Not only that, the communication with other warships had also been cut off.

Rows of rockets, like hail, covered the Japanese fleet. On the surface of the sea, a column of water was stirred up into the sky. The Japanese warships were shrouded in thick smoke and flames. These Japanese warships that were on fire continued to rush forward. However, he had already lost the ability to control himself, and only had inertia. Shao Zuo Xiaozhao watched helplessly as a row of huge cannonballs trailing flames rapidly enlarged in front of his eyes, and immediately he was engulfed by the violent explosion.

After more than 50 minutes, the sea was calm, and there was not even a shadow of a Japanese warship. It was a few torpedoes that ended these junks. The independent division fleet was not even interested in capturing these old-fashioned warships.

"Well, not bad, 53 minutes!" Tang Qiuquan looked at his watch, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Next, it's time for the escort fleet to enter the field. Xiguo, order the carrier-based aircraft unit to be ready to take off at any time!"

The Manchukuo Bohai Cruise Fleet was removed from the list, and even the edge of the troop carrier formation of the Independent Division was not touched. Under the all-round coverage of rocket shells, these Japanese officers and sailors who charged with suicidal thoughts even escaped. There is no hope. From the beginning to the end, the main battleships and carrier-based aircraft of the escort fleet did not make a move. The two fast gunboat brigades perfectly solved the problem. The encounter in the Snake Island Islands was just a small episode. For the sea-crossing combat troops, it has no effect at all.

With the will to die, hundreds of fighter jets and bombers rushed out to kill the formation of the independent division crossing the sea. Major General Haneda, the commander of the Kwantung Army Air Force on the Bohai Sea, came with murderous intent. When I didn't see the blue sea, I was intercepted and killed by the fighter group of the Air Force of the Independent Division in the airspace south of Fengtian.

When the fighter group of the Independent Division appeared in the sunny sky, even Major General Haneda, who didn't take his own life seriously, felt his scalp tingle and his hair explode.

Major General Haneda had no way of knowing why the fighter group of the Independent Division intercepted his route so accurately. This is the second thing. What made Major General Haneda stare straight was that the fighter group of the Independent Division was horribly large. According to his own estimation, the number of Chinese fighter jets should be more than double that of the mixed fleet under his command. Moreover, the opponents are all fighter jets. As for himself, there are more than 100 bombers fully loaded with ammunition in the formation. How to fight this battle?

Major General Haneda's eyeballs immediately became bloodshot, "Formation attention, all fighters, immediately go out to meet the enemy, entangle the fighters of the independent division, fight as much as possible, cover the bomber formation surprise attack, the air warriors of the empire, take out you For the sake of the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, attack the inferior Chinese!" Major General Haneda shouted hoarsely, and at the end, he did not forget to cheer up his fighter pilots!

It is easy to say, and the tactical deployment is also considered appropriate, but the reality is not the case. The desperate Japanese fighter jets rushed up with a stance of fearlessness, and in an instant, they were surrounded by the fighter group of the independent division with superior numbers. Among them, brute force can't solve any problems. The performance of the fighters of the two sides is basically similar, but the air combat experience of the pilots is not a star and a half!

What Major General Haneda's fleet encountered was the troops of Le Yiqin, the commander of the Southern Flying Group. They had been in the south for many years, and had fought against the Japanese Army, Navy and Air Force in India. Moreover, they won the battle. All the pilots , all stood out in the tragic air battles, with rich experience in air combat, no one in the world's air force at that time could match them, and in addition, they were commanded by the so-called "air warrior", who fought well. The Japanese and the British, including the Soviets, are invincible General Le Yiqin.

The combat effectiveness of such an aviation unit can be imagined. Colonel He Luming, the commander of the air formation of the escort fighter group and the head of the first fighter regiment of the Southern Aviation Group, looked at the Japanese fighter group and put on a desperate posture. Come on, he grinned helplessly at that time, "Damn it, the little devil hasn't made any progress. If he comes back to this trick again, can't he use other tricks?" He muttered to himself.

"Attention everyone in the formation. The little devil wants to fight hard. It's an old routine. Every regiment knows how to fight! The old rules!" Colonel He Luming said casually in the formation communication channel.

Since it is an old rule, the heads of several fighter regiments understood at that time, and immediately allocated a third of the fighters to rush towards the Japanese bomber fleet. Most of the fighters immediately found the Japanese fighters and began to entangle When they started fighting, the clear howling sound of machine guns resounded in the clear sky, the ballistic trajectory pierced the sky, and the air combat battlefield entered the bloody battle of hand-to-hand combat in an instant.

Major General Haneda flew a fighter jet and rushed to the front. Immediately, he realized how reckless and ridiculous his actions were. Around his plane, there were lights and shadows of independent division fighter jets flying up and down everywhere, and bullets everywhere The pale white trajectory piercing the sky, the sight of Major General Haneda's fighter, had just locked onto a fighter of the Independent Division, and before it entered the effective range, his plane was attacked by fighters of the Independent Division from behind, and, still two.

It was He Luming and his wingman who grabbed Major General Haneda's plane. He Luming was at a high altitude, and he recognized this unique Japanese fighter from the Japanese fighter group at a glance, "It must be the air commander of the little devil!" He concluded, then, he called his wingman, took advantage of the opportunity when Major General Haneda was busy shooting down the fighter in front, made a beautiful slide from high altitude, and put Major General Haneda's fighter in the sight at once.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please get out of the attack immediately, your plane is being bitten by a Chinese fighter jet!" Major General Haneda's wingman shouted loudly. At the same time, the wingman rolled sideways, and then, using the excellent maneuverability of the Zero fighter jet, turned the plane's head , pushing towards He Luming and his wingmen, the intention was obvious, even if it was a one-on-two, the commander must be freed from danger.
