Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1031 Codenamed "Dragon Dragon"

Gao Zhihang, the commander of the port attack team of the first attack wave, was in the sky, and behind him, the carrier planes spread out in a three-dimensional array, like a flock of hungry vultures, eager to pounce on their prey.

Where is the prey?
What about battleships?What about the water machine?The inside of the breakwater was empty, not even a sampan was left.what to do?Search!
It's only been two hours, and it's fine if the plane can't catch up. The fleet probably didn't run very far. They circled around a few times, attacked if they found it, and returned to blow up the port if they couldn't find it.Hmph, the monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away.

Making up his mind, Gao Zhihang signaled "Follow me" and led the team to search east.The airport attack team also flew over the target. There was not a single plane in sight on either side of the long runway. Several anti-aircraft guns fired time-delayed fuze shells into the sky, exploding clouds of black smoke far away from the aircraft fleet.

Commander Lin Weicheng had no choice but to order the "Blue Sky" bombers to drop bombs on the airport facilities, while the "Storm" fighters used their machine guns to suppress the airport's anti-aircraft guns.Bombs fell like a hailstorm, and the entire airport was instantly covered in shining red light. Towers, hangars, oil depots, ammunition depots, and barracks were all turned into flames one after another, billowing thick smoke rising several hundred meters into the air.When Lin Weicheng flew to Panama City, more than ten kilometers away, he could still clearly see the smoke columns.

"Those crooked columns of smoke seemed to be mocking our failure. They were supposed to destroy the enemy planes, but in the end they didn't even catch the hair of the enemy planes," Lin Weicheng thought to himself.

Gao Zhihang was much luckier than him.After searching east for half an hour, his strike team finally found its target, the American fleet flying the Stars and Stripes.After careful identification, it was confirmed that the enemy fleet consisted of Connecticut-type battleships, 2 Tesburg-type cruisers, 3 St. Louis-type cruisers, and 10 destroyers.Surprisingly, the enemy fleet actually formed a wheel formation that was unique to the Dragon Army, with battleships and two Pittsburg-type cruisers as the core, and other ships scattered around, almost a word long. The snake's column is obviously more conducive to the formation of ships to avoid air attacks.

Without time to think about it, Gao Zhihang pulled out the signal gun and fired two red signal flares in a row. The large fleet that covered the sky and the sun quickly divided into several columns, and fixed on the six largest warships in the fleet, descended to a low altitude of more than ten meters, Launch an assault on the sea.

Liu Yun's [-]th Fleet Attack Squadron stared at the largest Connecticut-type battleship, and saw the four large smoke columns of the prey violently spewing black smoke and sparks like a volcanic eruption. On the bow of the ship, there are snow-white tracks twisting left and right like earthworms.

The squadron formed a group of three planes, passing by the left rear of the enemy ship one after another. While descending the altitude, the wings turned one and a quarter of a turn against the wings, and it happened to come to the front left of the enemy ship.

Each aircraft saw the signal of the leader aircraft, spread out into a fan-shaped array, and according to the advance calculated in real time, the nose of the aircraft faced the extension line of the enemy ship's course, and dropped mines one after another at a specified distance.Nine torpedoes are launched in a fan-shaped manner, which greatly seals the maneuvering space of the enemy ship and increases the success rate of the attack. This is the so-called "torpedo area attack method". Still relatively primitive naval forces, especially when attacking large moving targets.

At this time, the resistance of the enemy ship was also extremely fierce. As soon as Liu Yun pressed the mine-throwing button, he found that the surrounding area was almost filled with weaving light marks, and several holes had been conspicuously opened on the lower wing at some point.

"The squadron leader's plane is on fire!" Xiao Lu in the back seat shouted urgently through the sound transmission tube.

Sure enough, at the center of the fan, that is, at the front end, the squadron leader's nose was wrapped in thick smoke and fire, and it was obvious at a glance that it was hopeless.

"Squadron leader" Liu Yun clenched his fists, tears rolled in his eyes, but he was helpless.I watched helplessly as the squadron leader's landline crashed into the sea with a long trail of smoke.

"Little Lu salutes the squadron leader before leaving."

At the cost of the squadron leader's sacrifice, the torpedoes dropped by the [-]th Squadron exploded two huge water jets higher than the masthead on the port side of the enemy ship. This is also a unique way of mourning for the Navy.

Lieutenant General Schroeder climbed down the ladder and stepped onto the deck of the destroyer "Jensen". In front of him, the [-]-ton "New Hampshire" was half-turned, covered with red anti-rust paint and barnacle algae. The bottom is striking above the waterline.

"It's outdated after all, rest in peace." Schroeder crossed himself on his chest.

A thousand yards away, the armored cruiser "Pueblo" revealed its huge brass propeller. Its sharp bow had already been submerged underwater, and the surviving crew members were floating around like dumplings. "Campbell" The USS destroyer was heading for them.

Lieutenant General Schroeder still clearly remembered that a few minutes ago, the destroyer "Rodrigue" was broken into two pieces in front of him. Like suddenly evaporated.

A bearded major from the captain of the "Jensen" greeted him: "Your Excellency, where are you going to transfer? We still have 4 cruisers, but I want to remind you that I saw the starboard side of the Fort Peters was hit." Although he is still running happily there, like a humpback whale in heat, God knows when it will"

"What else did you see? For example, have you counted how many planes fell from the sky?"

"Four, I swear by the Bible, four dropped from start to finish."

Schroeder shrugged: "It doesn't matter, we did a much better job than at Pearl Harbor. There were so many planes at Pearl Harbor, but we killed 10 of our battleships in half an hour." I had no choice but to comfort myself like this.

"Because they were shooting dead targets at that time, and now we are not just letting them play dead fish." The captain did not forget to flatter his boss at such a time.

"They will come again. See the rain clouds over there? God hasn't given up on us. We're going to hide in the rain. Before that, please send me to the St. Louis."

"We are happy to help"

Schroeder raised his head and looked at the fleet of Longjun planes that were gradually receding in the southwest sky, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, everything was just the beginning, and he believed that the best show was yet to come.

"The enemy plane is coming again!" Suddenly someone shouted in panic.

Schroeder was startled, and grabbed the yelling person: "Where is it?"

The sailor pointed in the direction of Panama City.

Schroeder took a closer look, trembling with excitement.

"It's Mitchell, Mitchell's Army Air Forces strike! Let's cheer for them and pray for them"

There was a tsunami on the ship: "Long live Mitchell!"

"Long live the Army Air Corps!"

"Long Live America"

When the first attack wave returned, Gao Xinxin's No. [-] Fleet Battle Squadron was assigned to cover at the end of the formation. He gently shook the wings of the aircraft, probably worried that the wingman would fall behind. The strange plane is right behind the fleet!

Calm down, you have to report to the squadron leader first.

Gao Xinxin pulled down the accelerator, rushed to the right front of the squadron leader, and used gestures to remind him to look back.The squadron leader looked back and gestured back to her: "Go and inform the commander." Then he shook the wings violently and led the planes to turn around and kill them.

Gao Xinxin followed the order and rushed to the commander at the front of the formation, that is, her uncle Gao Zhihang's plane, and reported the situation with gestures.Gao Zhihang nodded to her, and quickly fired two signal flares, one red and one green, to indicate that "there are enemy planes in the sky", and the escort fighter jets should be put into battle immediately.

After Gao Xinxin finished her report, she stepped on the rudder and turned around to catch up with the squadron. She would never give up this good opportunity to kill the enemy.Gao Xinxin must use the feat of shooting down the enemy plane to wash away the shame of being shot down over Pearl Harbor. This is Gao Xinxin's idea.Pushing the accelerator to the end, he quickly caught up with the squadron, and before he had time to seize the position, he insisted on an enemy plane and rushed towards him!
Open fire!
When the trigger is pulled, the enemy plane seems to fill the entire field of vision ahead!
Gao Xinxin didn't close her eyes, but just pulled the lever in reflex, and the plane trembled suddenly, almost bouncing against the opponent's wing.She didn't let go of the stick, and at the same time pushed full throttle.The plane climbed along an arc, the nose was lifted higher and higher, and after passing the zenith, it sank back suddenly. Gao Xinxin felt that his eyes were flushed, and the plane was completely overturned!

Gao Xinxin performed a perfect roll before the plane turned into a dive with the sharp reflexes unique to women, and quickly returned from the inverted flight state to the level flight state. What is especially important is that after completing this series of actions, the nose of the aircraft was exactly pointing to the plane. The fuselage of the prey just now.

Less than two hundred meters!

In an instant, a string of tracer bullets came head-on, whistling past the flying cap.

"you lose!"

While roaring, the chain cannon mounted on the nose fired densely woven red lines!

The first round of long bursts knocked down the uninterested machine gunner at the tail, and at the same time pulled back the accelerator to lower the height slightly. When the distance was opened to fifty or sixty meters, the engine aimed at the left inner side fired again. With a string of tracer bombs, black smoke soon appeared on the opposite side.In order to avoid being smoked, she pushed the rudder slightly and swerved to the right side of the enemy plane.

Gao Xinxin aimed at the position of the enemy plane's cab and fired again, then the engine on the right. After firing one of them, he left the attacking position. This was to avoid the oncoming black smoke and debris.

The enemy plane that lost two engines fell quickly in a black arc in the blue sky. Gao Xinxin followed closely above it, ready to make up for it with a few shuttles at any time, until it was clear that the wings on both sides were completely covered by fire. , the remaining two engines also stopped rotating, and then they climbed up with confidence and began to look for new prey.

Eleven of the sixteen U.S. aircraft in the first attack wave were shot down in just a quarter of an hour, nine of which were the result of the [-] Squadron.Lieutenant Gao Xinxin, the deputy squadron leader, took over three planes alone, and the results of the battle were confirmed by the pictures taken by the camera.

The remaining U.S. planes dropped their bombs and fled into the cumulonimbus clouds to the east. The escort fighter jets of the first attack wave did not pursue because of insufficient fuel.
