Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

"Stop landing, meet the enemy...meet the enemy." Onishi Takijiro howled hoarsely.

The returning fighter plane was running out of fuel, so it wouldn't last long, but he couldn't take care of so much anymore, and he could withstand it for a while.

The fighter jets circling over the fleet and waiting to land were forced to pull up again to meet the fleet. The aircraft carrier was also in chaos. Soldiers began to clear the runway, refuel and reload, hoping to release the planes on the deck as quickly as possible.

But it was too late. The "Giant Bird" formation was also escorted by fighter jets. The island army's fighter jets, which had run out of fuel and rushed to meet them, were not their opponents at all. More than half of them were damaged in the first round of attack, and many even fell into the sea by themselves.

In an instant, the bomber fleet rushed into the sky above the fleet, followed by a large-scale dive bombing. The screeching sound of the aerial bombs was horrifying, and the scene of the explosion was even more grand.

Harpoon anti-ship guided missiles flew recklessly, piercing into the hull one by one, followed by deafening explosions and soaring flames.

The Chinese aviation bomber fleet is all big guys, basically sky fortresses, super sky fortresses, and the aerial bombs they carry are all [-] pounds upwards, or they are harpoons.

The number of bombers is even more numerous, and there are even planes joining in a steady stream from the rear, basically rushing to wipe out the southern fleet of the island army.

Onishi Takijiro didn't know that for this battle, Jiang Haoran dispatched all heavy and medium bombers from the entire Indochina Peninsula, the Malay Peninsula, and the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, in order to ensure continuous bombing and never withdraw troops until the goal was achieved.

The entire sea was filled with flames, clouds of smoke, and jets of water.

The roar of machines above, the explosion below, and the screaming of aerial bombs merged with the anti-aircraft guns of the island army, and the entire Bashi Channel was not roaring.

The aircraft carrier Xianghe, the flagship of the Southern Fleet, is relatively far behind, and has not yet entered the threat of bombing. Several Gale fighter jets are circling in the sky, seeming to be desperate to ensure the safety of the flagship.

Onishi Takijiro stood on the bridge and witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes. Two lines of muddy tears rolled down his face, feeling powerless.

"Report, the Shinano was hit by two bombs. It was a harpoon... It was a harpoon anti-ship missile." The orderly stumbled to Takiro Onishi and reported in a panic.

Onishi Takijiro hurriedly snatched the binoculars from the guards around him, and raised them in a panic.

The Shinano was about ten nautical miles ahead of him, and its outline could be seen clearly with the naked eye.

With the help of binoculars, Onishi Takijiro had already seen thick smoke rising from the Shinano, and he could vaguely see the panicked and desperate soldiers on the deck.

The report came again, and the Zhina Air Force seemed to be eyeing the Shinano. In just 10 minutes, more than ten harpoons were continuously fired at the Shinano, and seven of them hit, all of which were on the right side of the hull. , the damage control of the aircraft carrier is ineffective, the water seepage is serious, it has already begun to tilt, and it is about to sink.

The Shinano aircraft carrier is the largest aircraft carrier in the world with a standard displacement of 64,800 tons, a waterline length of 839 feet, a flight deck length of 872 feet, a width of 131 feet, a speed of 18 knots, and an endurance of 10,000 nautical miles.

After the battle of Midway Island, the harpoon was born, and the island army paid more attention to the defense of the aircraft carrier itself.

In order to effectively defend against the high-altitude and dive bombing of the Chinese and Mi Air Forces, the flight deck of the Shinano was paved with 75 mm thick deck armor, and it was also covered with a 200 mm thick steel bone cement layer.

It can be described as steel and iron, and it is difficult for ordinary small and medium-sized aviation bombs to pose any threat to it.

It's a pity that the island army's painstaking efforts were still useless. The deck was strong, but the hull still couldn't stop the attack of the harpoon.

"Bageya Road."

Onishi Takijiro had already seen the future of the Southern Fleet from the Shinano, and he would be angry and anxious, but he couldn't come up with any effective defense plan at all.

The air defense is useless, and the coastal defense poses little threat to high-altitude bombers, so they can only be bombed passively.

"Retreat, Onishi-kun."

Ozawa Jisaburo finally woke up, and stood side by side with Onishi Takijiro on the bridge, watching the scene in front of him, his eyes full of sadness and helplessness.

Onishi Takijiro looked at Ozawa with angry eyes. Perhaps in his opinion, the warriors of the empire cannot easily admit defeat, which is a cowardly act.

"No one wants this. We must have a clear understanding of the situation and not make fearless sacrifices. The Chinese have a good saying, if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. So, let's go, I have prepared the submarine."

Ozawa comforted quietly, with the experience of last time, he became more shrewd, this time he will not take the speedboat, but take a safer submarine instead.

The anger on Onishi Takijiro's face slowly receded, then he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and walked back quickly, ignoring Ozawa.

From an official to the high position of fleet chief of staff, he can actually think clearly about any problem. What is the spirit of bushido and what is brave and fearless? A good step, so he also went down very cleanly.

……

It's night, Vientiane.

The national army headquarters was full of jubilation, and the officers and soldiers toasted together to celebrate the grand event of annihilating the southern fleet of the island army.

The battle lasted for more than five hours. More than a thousand fighter jets and bombers from the Air Force of the national army participated in the battle, and carried out a devastating bombing on the southern fleet of the island army. Even though a small number of them escaped, Jiang Haoran arranged an ambush for them .

The Seventh Fleet of the United States is still waiting for them behind Bashi Channel.

Of course, Nimitz will not miss this kind of beating the dog in the water. If there is no accident, tomorrow morning, the remaining fleet of the island army will meet with the seventh fleet of the rice army unexpectedly. exist.

The biggest suspense in this campaign is where the Chinese navy's carrier-based fighter jets came from.

In fact, to put it simply, this is a copy of the island army's shuttle bombing.

The plan was proposed by Zhuang Yingying, and the five aircraft carriers of the Third Fleet will be the main carriers, and they will be placed near the islands and reefs [-] nautical miles west of the Bashi Channel.

Using island reefs and some conventional means to avoid the reconnaissance aircraft of the island army, park in a static state, and clear all aircraft types on the aircraft carrier except fighter jets.

Then, he ordered all the fighters of the First Fleet [-] nautical miles away to take off, land on the five aircraft carriers of the Third Fleet, complete refueling and reloading, and cooperate with all the fighters of the Third Fleet to enter the air battle.

At the same time, all the fighter jets on the Second Fleet, which was [-] nautical miles away, also started to take off. Their first landing point was the First Fleet. After completing the first refueling, they continued to fly forward. The three fleets completed their last refueling and headed to the battlefield.

Therefore, the number of fighter jets invested by the national army aviation in the entire campaign is almost the sum of the three aircraft carrier battle groups.
