blood feud

On Pyongyang's side, Bai Shujie has been busy on board the Feilong 301 destroyer, and he hasn't even celebrated the Spring Festival. He is indeed a hard-working man.

However, there are people in this world who are more miserable than Bai Shujie, and that is the dwarf from Monkey Island in the Pacific Ocean.While talking about the Spring Festival, even how to accommodate 10 people for the winter is a problem.

It turned out that during the last bombing, Bai Shujie forgot to explain one thing, which was to concentrate the bombing on the northwestern district of Tokyo, that is, the northwest of Kudan, Chiyoda District.

As a result, the main scope of the last bombing was concentrated in the areas of Hamamatsucho, Kamiyacho, Neihocho, and Shiodome on the west bank of Tokyo Bay, that is, the southern area of ​​Tokyo was bombed.

In the northwest of Jiudan, Chiyoda District, that is where the little devil's palace and the Yasukuni Shrine are located.Right now, Bai Shujie naturally doesn't know what exactly was bombed. In fact, it's impossible for the crew members who participated in the battle to find out.

In any case, the Hamamatsu-cho, Kamiya-cho, and Uchiho-cho lines were basically burned down that time. There is no information about how many people were burned to death, but the Asahi Shimbun reported in a very cryptic way: "A sudden fire, More than [-] people have been made homeless."

Although the three planes that caught up were killed on the sea and their tails were cut off.But the little devils are all soldiers, and as a result, the return direction of the bombing crew is still known by the little devils base camp.

First of all, a group of small devil fishermen returning to the voyage found the "imperial fleet" flying to the northwest; then the small devils defenders of Wonsan Port and Xingnan Port on the Korean peninsula discovered the formation of the "imperial large fleet" that was lowering their altitude. ".

After the huge fire broke out in Tokyo was notified to the No.19 and No.20 divisions, news about the transfer of large aircraft groups arrived in the base camp after they were discovered in different areas.

"The plane our soldiers saw was completely different from the imperial plane. They saw a monoplane, and judging from the brightness of the reflection, it should be an all-metal plane. Although there is an imperial flag logo under the wing of the bomber, it is not The exclusion is the work of hostile forces."

Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, head of the No.19 Division, said in a telegram to the base camp: "The humble job believes that these people should be related to the recent incident in southern Liaoning. Considering that there is no available transit airport in the northwest, the humble job infers The front line in Pyongyang seems to be out of control, and maybe something has gone wrong."

Because the base camp of the little devils is secretive, and at the same time they suspect that the long-haired men in the north may be playing tricks, so after the Southern Liaoning Incident, the order to the No. 19 Division not long ago was to closely guard the Soviet Red Army in the northeast.

Because of this, the search wing of the No.19 Division has never crossed the Langlin Mountains to the west, and the mountains are now covered by heavy snow, so they know almost nothing about the situation on the front line of Andong, Sinuiju, and Pyongyang.

This time, he suddenly found a huge bomber fleet flying over his airspace. Lieutenant General Odaka Kamezo, with the keen sense of an old soldier, had already smelled the danger, so he bluntly reported his views to the General Staff Headquarters.

Kiichiro Hiranuma had just been sworn in as the Prime Minister, and it was natural that such a bad incident happened in the capital.

After receiving the news that the southern area of ​​the capital was bombed, from the perspective of a politician, his first feeling was that he suspected that the Ministry of the Navy was embarrassing himself.

Because the general public has seen seven planes, the flags of the empire are all under the wings, and they are also new planes that the empire has promoted in the first half of the year.

The Ministry of War is concentrating all its efforts on attacking the capital of China, Nanjing, and the Yangtze River Valley, and it is impossible to come back and cause trouble.The only one who has an opinion on the cabinet is the Ministry of the Navy.

Major incidents occurred in southern Manchuria and southern Liaoning, and North Korea was in turmoil. The economic crisis of the empire deteriorated rapidly.So Kiichiro Hiranuma's third move after he came to power was to give a memorial to His Majesty the Emperor:

"In view of the current economic situation of the empire, in the "Eighty-eight Fleet Plan" reported by the Ministry of the Navy, the construction of 12 battleships and [-] aircraft carriers should be postponed. As for the construction of the large battleships 'Yamato' and 'Musashi' The supplementary plan should be terminated immediately."

Remembering that he didn't offend others, it was this memorial that offended the navy, Kiichiro Hiranuma immediately scolded angrily: "Haka! Could it be that the bastard Yamamoto 56, who just returned to the base camp and took up the post of vice-minister of the Navy, in order to threaten the cabinet, Are you actually using civilians to kill chickens and monkeys?"

There is not one person who has the same idea as Kiichiro Heimuma, but a large group.Because of the coup that broke out early last year, rivers of blood flowed.Almost all ministers who opposed the expansion of the scale of the war were spared.

This time, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet resisted all opinions and directly stated the need to curb the expansion of the navy. Many people doubted the consequences of this.Even Seishiro Sakagaki, Minister of the Ministry of War, has hinted on different occasions that the Ministry of the Navy cannot get away with it.

If there are too many doubters, it will naturally leak out.

At this time, Yamamoto 56, who had just returned from the Nanjing front line inspection, was re-elected as the Deputy Minister of the Navy, and it was a time of prosperity.Not to mention that he didn't order people to bomb his subjects, even if he had any opinions, he would fight for them at the court meeting.

Yamamoto 56 was originally an anti-war faction and has always opposed the infinite expansion of the China War.However, this time, the First Fleet was ordered to assist in the attack on Nanjing, and the results were brilliant.As he said: "The principle of non-expansion of the situation has been eliminated. If we go to Nanjing, the navy will do everything it should do."

Hearing rumors that others suspected that he was engaging in petty tricks in private, Yamamoto 56 secretly hated him.After some investigation, he was finally sure that the enemy who attacked Tokyo was on the front line of Pyongyang.Thus, a "S plan" was newly released.

赤城号航空母舰，是根据小鬼子帝国海军制定的“八八舰队计划”建造的。最初是作为天城级战列巡洋舰的二号舰于1920年12月6日在吴港海军船厂开工建造，由于1922年华盛顿海军条约的签订，1922年2月5日暂停。

In 1923, according to the provisions of the Washington Naval Treaty, Japan converted the suspended cruiser "Akagi" into an aircraft carrier.When changing from a battlecruiser to an aircraft carrier, everything above the main deck was rebuilt, with a double hangar.

The original "Akagi" was installed with 3 sections of flight deck and divided into 3 floors in a stepped shape.The upper deck is a take-off and landing deck with a total length of 190 meters and a width of 30.5 meters.The middle and lower decks are connected to the double-deck hangar for aircraft to take off directly from the hangar. The middle deck is for small aircraft to take off and is about 15 meters long. The lower deck is longer for large aircraft to take off, with a length of 56.7 meters and a width of 23 meters. .

In October 1935, "Akagi" was towed into the Sasebo Naval Shipyard for a modernization similar to that of the Kaga aircraft carrier.

Cancel the impractical middle and lower flight decks and turn them into hangars, and remove the two twin-mounted 2mm guns in front of the middle flight deck.

After refitting, the Akagi aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of 41300 tons, a main engine output power of 133000 horsepower, a maximum speed of 31 knots, and 72 aircraft (up to 91 aircraft, including 96 Type 16 fighter jets, 96 Type 51 attack aircraft, and Type 96 dive bombers. 24).

The aircraft carrier Akagi has just been remodeled, and Yamamoto 56 needs to find a place to test the results of the remodeling. Unexpectedly, at this time, some people suspect that he is making a small move.

In order to show that he was "upright", Yamamoto 56 issued an order to the aircraft carrier Akagi to "attack the Sea of ​​Japan and conduct reconnaissance bombing of Pyongyang Airport".

The Akagi aircraft carrier is now the flagship of Lieutenant Admiral Chuichi Nagumo's First Air Fleet.Now that it is time to test the results of modernization, Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi naturally dare not neglect.

Especially those guys from the Ministry of the Army, they always said that the Ministry of the Navy is good at spending money and not doing things, this time let them take a good look at the door!

1938年2月19日上午十点，赤城号航空母舰携带72架新式战机，抵达元山港以东洋面15公里的地方。

A shrill siren sounded in the air, and Bai Shujie was at the Black Ridge Weapons Research Institute.Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jinxi's call came after him: "Miaoxiangshan found an enemy plane flying from the east, about 60 kilometers away. How are you going to deal with it?"

No need to ask, it must be the little devil's plane.

Because there are only three companies with planes nearby: Little Devil, Long Maozi and myself.The long-haired boy still wanted to hold the little devil behind him, so there was no possibility of making trouble with him.Besides, there is a No.19 division in the middle, and the long-haired people can't get through.

To fight against the little devil's plane, the only advantage is the 24 bf108/h of the Dragon Squadron.

Now that the little devil has already attacked the door, it is impossible to hide any longer. Bai Shujie did not hesitate: "Order the Flying Dragon Squadron to take off in a three-aircraft formation, and go up to see what's going on!"

"Pyongyang Jiangnan Airport is ready for combat, and the air defense force is in a combat state and ready to fight. As long as the enemy planes enter the shooting range, they will all open fire without waiting for orders!"

It is said that Sun Dezhi of the Flying Dragon Squadron received the order to attack, because it was fighting around his own base, so there was no need to take off the air command plane. He directly drove his fighter plane into the blue sky, and roared eastward with two wingmen.

This was the first real lift-off operation, and Sun Dezhi shouted excitedly to the two wingmen: "Brothers, keep a distance and follow closely. From now on, I will play the commander-in-chief's explanation of the tactics and let the modified aircraft guns play their role." When it's mighty."

At this moment, the No. 2 (right) wingman suddenly shouted: "Two enemy planes are in our direction at one o'clock, about ten kilometers away!"

"No. 2 goes up, No. 1 immediately climbs up, ready to attack!"

Sun Dezhi pulled the joystick, and the plane suddenly raised its head and fired directly into the depths of the void. The advantage of bf108/h was manifested, leaving a wisp of green smoke in place, which had already disappeared into the clouds above the enemy plane.

According to the order of the lead plane, the No. 2 wingman accelerated with all his strength, and the speed of the fighter plane immediately increased to 650 km/h, and directly hit the two enemies head-on.

Pass!Pass!Pass!

At a distance of 4800 meters from the enemy plane, the two 2mm cannons of the No. 30 wingman had already fired at the enemy first, forcing the enemy plane to roll to avoid emergency.

According to the book, Bai Shujie replaced the bf108/h with two 30mm cannons, with a combat rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute and a range of 3200 meters. The No. 2 wingman kicked his right foot, and the two cannons fired three shells, and the little devil couldn't dodge it.

Whisper—the No. 2 wingman just passed between the two enemy planes, and then pulled the nose of the plane and rushed to the sky, acting as a battlefield guard.

Let the enemy plane evade urgently, and his first tactical goal has been successfully completed.It's three against two, so wingman No. 2 is not in a hurry.

woo-

Wingman No. 2 just flipped over and adjusted his course when he found that the lead plane in the clouds had roared down, and an enemy plane that rolled out to the right had its tail bitten!

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
