Age of Rebirth

Chapter 480 Killing the Aircraft Carrier

It is no wonder that the Japanese destroyers and frigates in charge of air defense around the "Izumo" and the planes escaping from Shanghai were like frightened birds and fish that slipped through the net. A group of three came in a row, and a few planes came over at a time, which annoyed the Japanese sailors on these warships, so they simply opened a passage, and closed it after these guys passed through.

This doomed the fate of the "Izumo". When we found out, it was too late. The Chinese planes were all above the Izumo. The anti-aircraft artillery on these warships hurriedly turned their muzzles, but they couldn't shoot. My own people who didn't land.

The aviation commander on the Izumo was also panicked, and quickly ordered the fighter jets that had not yet landed to intercept the Chinese planes immediately, so that the fighter jets on the mother ship took off to fight, and bought time to ensure the safety of the mother ship, even if it was all broken. , It's not hesitating, it's okay, he has a good brain, and he knows that the value of an aircraft and an aircraft carrier is different.

The Japanese fighter pilot who received the order almost cried out, did your fucking head get flooded?An order, to put it bluntly, the plane is out of fuel. Indeed, after bombing Shanghai and fighting with the Chinese Air Force, it is already a pretty good technology that the fuel can support the return to the Izumo aircraft carrier. Do you want to fight?Airplanes don't blow up with air. [

All the favorable conditions are in favor of Gao Zhihang and his comrades in arms. The Japanese fighter jets can support and circle a few times, but the heavy bombers can't. Sparks were flying from the wings, and regardless of the commander's order not to allow landing, the nose of the plane was aimed at the flight deck, and it jumped down.

The plane jumped a few times violently, and after twisting and turning, it finally taxied smoothly. The pilot was lucky to have saved his life, but he was not happy enough. The carrier-based plane that was ordered to take off was also taxiing at high speed on the runway, preparing for an emergency takeoff. Hitting head-on, there was a loud "boom", and a huge fireball exploded on the flight deck of the Izumo, which also affected many planes parked aside.

The consequences were catastrophic, filled with fuel, filled with bombed planes, turned into gunpowder depots, a series of explosions and fires, uncontrollable, the leaked fuel, like a cheerful, meandering snake , leaking from the top deck of the Izumo to the next floor, wherever the fire snake swims, flames will fly.

This is not being bombed or hit by a torpedo from the outside. With a displacement of more than 1 tons, the Izumo aircraft carrier can maintain it without sinking as long as it is not a fatal part, but it is burning from the inside, and the fire spreads quickly. There was smoke and fire everywhere from the cloud horn, like a huge bouquet of fireworks.

This situation stunned the Chinese war hawks, so it's over?Haven't hit a few shuttles yet, so let's chase down those Japanese planes that don't have fuel. The frigates around can only watch the flames of the objects they protect rise, and they can't do anything.

The Japanese aircraft, which finally ran out of fuel, had no place to stay, lost its power, and spun like iron bumps and fell towards the sea. Umbrella flowers burst out in the air. The Chinese war eagles have good martial arts , did not shoot the Japanese pilots who were floating in the air and parachuted. If they were Japanese pilots, they would never let them go.

The fire finally ignited the fuel tank and medicine tank of the Izumo. Two thunderbolt-like bangs raised a huge mushroom cloud. The huge explosive force blew up the entire second half of the aircraft carrier. The Izumo The bow of the aircraft carrier jumped out of the sea suddenly, then fell heavily, and sank into the vast blue water of the Pacific Ocean. Only a point of the mast could be seen, and it quickly disappeared.

The floating base that the Japanese naval aviation relied on to be fierce in Shanghai, the soul and core of the Japanese Third Fleet, the "Izumo" aircraft carrier, was buried in the belly of a fish in the East China Sea, and together with its illustrious reputation, it became the Pacific Ocean. A pile of scrap copper and rotten iron on the bottom of the sea, perhaps, this is the best ending for the "Izumo" and thousands of Japanese sailors.

Gao Zhihang witnessed the spectacular scene of the sinking of the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier, and whistled happily, "Brothers, the work is done, go home!"

The other Japanese warships are crazy, the pride of the Navy, the heart of the Third Fleet, was killed by these Chinese planes, they cannot be let go, it is best to catch the live Chinese pilots, skin cramps, all The anti-aircraft artillery fire formed a dense fire net, determined to keep Gao Zhihang and the others behind.

This is what Gao Zhihang had expected a long time ago. He was the first to rush towards the direction where the Japanese ship's firepower was relatively weak. After concentrating firepower, a gap was finally opened, and Gao Zhihang heaved a sigh of relief when he broke away from the Japanese air defense firepower network.

"Brothers, are they all alive?" He quickly contacted, only 34 people answered him, Gao Zhihang pulled the nose of the plane, and saw a scene he will never forget in his life, two Chinese war eagles, with billowing smoke, flew towards a Japanese military ship. The destroyers slammed into it, and one of them got into the chimney of the warship. Amidst the violent explosion, the Japanese destroyer sank slowly and became the funeral of the "Izumo".

Gao Zhihang couldn't stop crying. He was proud of his brothers' bravery. He already knew who they were. One was Yan Haiwen and the other was Shen Chonghui. It is said that they are novices, but today's feat proves that they are fearless war eagles.

With the pride of victory and nostalgia for the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, Gao Zhihang's fourth destroyer squadron, facing the bright sunshine in the south of the Yangtze River, returned victoriously. This time, at the cost of sacrificing two comrades-in-arms, Gao Zhihang killed the aircraft carrier "Izumo" , crashed and sank a destroyer, such a record is enough for them to be included in the history of the Chinese Air Force.

The azure sea water beside him receded quickly behind him, and he saw the coastline of the motherland. The aircraft fleet had already flown over Shanghai. Gao Zhihang switched on the communication channel, and immediately there was a call from the control tower of Jianqiao Aviation School, followed by Zhou Zhirou's urgent voice. : "Gao Zhihang, is that you?"

"Reporting sir, the Fourth Destroyer Squadron completed the mission of raiding the Japanese aircraft carrier formation, and the Izumo aircraft carrier and a destroyer were sunk, but..." Gao Zhihang pondered for a while, and the plane covered in fire and two young men appeared before his eyes. face.

Zhou Zhirou was startled first, kill the Japanese aircraft carrier?He couldn't believe it, and then he was shocked again. Gao Zhihang's "just" made his heart sink. Zhou Zhirou was already mentally prepared. Gao Zhihang, a lunatic, committed suicide. I hope he can bring back a few more planes. , It’s fine if the whole army is wiped out.

"Quickly tell me, what is it?" He asked eagerly, "It's just that the pilots of our brigade, Yan Haiwen and Shen Chonghui, drove the wounded fighter plane, sank the Japanese destroyer, and died heroically." Gao Zhihang's voice was full of grief.

"Are only two people and two planes lost?" Zhou Zhirou asked, and after getting Gao Zhihang's affirmative answer, Zhou Zhirou slumped on the chair again. What day is today?His mind was a little slow, a series of great surprises, and the relaxation after extreme worry made his heart beat wildly. [

Shot down more than 100 Japanese aircraft, sank the main Japanese aircraft carrier "Izumo", and a destroyer, and only paid the price of the death of two pilots. Could it be that our ancestors blessed the Chinese Air Force with the spirit of heaven?Let them achieve an astonishing record as soon as they make a move. Zhou Zhirou, who is familiar with the history of air combat in the world, knows that this is an unprecedented record.

He calmed down and ordered the staff to immediately report the latest results of the air force to all members of the committee and the military committee. Hurry up!

The Air Force has won a big and beautiful battle. As the highest officer of the Air Force, he can be proud and proud. In the long run, the committee and the Military Commission will pay more attention to the Air Force, and the Air Force will also usher in opportunities for development. , All of this was created by Gao Zhihang.

Thinking of Gao Zhihang, a lunatic, Zhou Zhirou couldn't help but feel a headache, and he was also in a dilemma, how to deal with this guy who had won a big battle, but blatantly violated military orders, and made his own way. He has a gangster character, but he has won many battles and made a name for the entire Air Force. He has become the pride of the Chinese Air Force.

"Gao Zhihang, you bastard, you're killing me!" Zhou Zhirou muttered to himself as if his teeth were hurting, and then he walked around the room, making the staff baffled, "Put it in confinement first." Zhou Zhirou really didn't have a proper way to deal with it. He was notified by the military committee that he would rush to Nanjing to attend the military meeting in a while.

On November 31, [-], Emperor Hirohito of Japan and the headquarters, the long-planned Second Songhu Battle kicked off. In the direction of Songhu, the Japanese army dispatched [-] troops, and the third and fourth fleets of the Navy , From the three main directions of Wusong, Chuansha River Estuary, and Shizilin in the periphery of Shanghai, from Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, and from Baishakou in Taicang, Jiangsu, combined strong attacks and surprise attacks, and aggressively attacked the Songhu area.

The Chinese garrison in Songhu, with the Sulu Mobile Corps of the North China Independent Division and Zhang Zhizhong's Shanghai Garrison as the backbone of defense, after a day of fierce fighting, the three Japanese troops suffered heavy losses. More than a thousand people, more than 130 soldiers were lost in the periphery of Shanghai, a total of more than [-] soldiers were lost, more than [-] aircraft were shot down, and the aircraft carrier "Izumo" and a destroyer sank.
