Chapter 778: The Falling Sun-Fight Again in Tokyo Bay
This time, the Manchurian Air Force dispatched more than 200 planes of various types and took out all the family resources, which can be said to be pouring out of the nest. The types of aircraft participating in the war not only came to the practical types of dive bombers, long-range bombers, and attack planes, but also fighters, fighter planes, and transport ships, which were all unrelated to each other.
After the development of these cross-era equipment, the Air Force has done all kinds of experiments and trained a large number of pilots. Cao Meng and the entire Air Force Command felt that the new combat power had been formed, and it was enough to hide it well and wait for a big surprise to the British in the future. But Goxinga didn't think so, he not only had to produce planes on a large scale, but also trained a very, very large number of pilots, and as long as he could ensure that the battle was not leaked, he had to participate in the aircraft. This time, all the planes of the air force were assembled at the Busan airport, and it was Goxinga himself who gave the order to attack the Fuso.
There was no defensive firepower on the Fuso at all, high-velocity weapons, and only Gatling guns. The Fuso did not have the strength to fight back, and the fleets of the various formations were not polite. After some humility, the formation of ground attack planes took the lead in attacking the Fuso. They were already doing low-altitude work, and the firepower was relatively fierce, so naturally they were the first to do it.
The attack planes in North Manchuria were based on the Soviet Union's Il-2 attack planes, and 100 projects solved technical problems. Equipped with a 37 mm cannon, the Harrier Eagle 1 is equipped with a 12 mm thick nickel-molybdenum alloy steel armor plate, so although the fuselage is a mixture of metal and wood, the protection ability is also very strong, and ordinary machine guns are almost ineffective against him.
The main target of the Harrier Eagle formation was also the Gatling gun on the Fuso. The Fuso was armed with six Gatling guns, and although the rate of fire was low and the accuracy was not very good, it also had a certain lethality, and the air force did not want to damage the fighters in such a battle. When the harrier eagle roared, the Japanese did set up their machine guns and fired wildly into the sky. Fuso's guns of all calibers could not be lifted at such a high angle, so naturally they could only count on these machine guns.
The bullets are quite dense, although they can't form a barrage, but they really have a certain lethality. The Harrier Eagle formation, which rushed straight towards the Fuso, overtook seven planes and hit, leaving some craters on the wings more or less. But the effect of the nickel-molybdenum alloy steel armor plate is still very good, even if it took a lot of bullets, but the fighters were not affected by anything, and then the deck of the Fuso was washed by a three-seven-millimeter gun.
"Harrier Eagle Formation Returns!" The bomb load of the plane is very limited, and the dive is only a moment, but the Harrier Eagle formation has almost exhausted the ammunition. The radio heard the report of the formation leader, and the Harrier Eagle formation completed its mission and returned to the Busan airport to rest.
"Haidongqing formation attack!" In the reconnaissance airship, Cao Meng, who was in command on the front line, gave the order for the dive bomber formation to attack.
The dive bomber in North Manchuria was based on the German Stuka dive bomber. In fact, the Stuka and the Il-2 are very similar in terms of design concept, but Goxinga has made some adjustments, and it has become two different models. The Harrier 1 striker, which was adapted from the Il-2, had enhanced armor protection and was mainly armed with a 37-mm cannon to strike armored or soft targets on the ground. On the other hand, the Haidongqing-1 dive bomber, which was modified from Stuka, abandoned armor and cannons, and focused on aerial bombs as its main weapon, targeting ground fortresses, mobile convoys, armored targets, and heavy surface ships. This time, Haidongqing reprinted *, this type of airdrop*, which was originally prepared for the British battleships, and now it is just taking the Fusang to practice their hands.
Forty-two Haidongqing, divided into two groups, dropped on the Fusang at a distance of one kilometer*. Their position is coquettish, their figure is elegant, but their results are embarrassing. Of the forty-two*, only two hits, and all the others missed. The pilots who are training at fixed target positions are obviously not very suitable for actual combat, and they are too unfamiliar with the rough sea.
"Haidongqing's formation is back!" The voice on the air waves was full of embarrassment, and the Haidongqing formation left in a gloomy manner.
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Ito Yuhiro, Togo Heihachiro and others were already standing on the deck, although it was not clear how the Manchurians attacked them, but the Fuso had begun to sink, and the samurai could only prepare to be martyred.
"Saker formations attack!" Cao Meng looked at the sinking Fusang, and hurriedly ordered the fighter formation to be dispatched, and if he didn't fight, he couldn't fight.
The prototype of the Saker was the Zero, which was not what Goxinga wanted, but it was the only option. Goxinga would love to copy American fighters or German fighters, but he is not a Baidu Encyclopedia, and his memory is limited. During World War II, he only had a general impression of the American and German fighter planes, and he couldn't draw detailed drawings, and all that he could draw were post-World War II models. The only thing that Goxinga can draw drawings and do with 100 engineering technologies is the Japanese Zero fighter. I don't have a choice, so I can only use him. Moreover, the Zero fighter is a dual-use aircraft type, which is also in line with the needs of the future development of North Manchuria, so it is natural to choose him.
The Fuso had begun to sink slowly, and the Saker formation hurriedly came to attack. Twenty-millimeter naval guns and twelve-seven-millimeter machine guns cleaned the deck of the Fuso again, and even Heihachiro Togo was broken in two by the bullets from the large-caliber machine guns. A vicious wind was blowing, and the ferocious Saker was already soaring away, and many people didn't even know how they died.
"Amaterasu! How did the Manchurians develop such a terrifying weapon! Ito, who had only suffered a minor injury, fell to his knees on the deck and let out a feeble lament.
"Eagle Owl Formation Attack!" The formations of all aircraft types slipped around, and only the formations of long-range bombers and transport ships remained. The transport ship formation is here to join in the fun, and it is impossible to let them airdrop a group of poaching people to go down to fish for people, so naturally they don't need to participate in the war, and it is good to feel the atmosphere of actual combat. Cao Meng could only order a formation of long-range bombers to attack and end the battle as soon as possible.
In terms of long-range strategic bombers, Goxinga chose the B29 without hesitation, which was scrapped by Japan and is a treasure that Goxinga dreamed of. However, 100 projects are not a panacea, and many of B29's technologies and 100 projects cannot be solved for the time being. Guo Xing'a could only settle for the next best thing, and asked to design and manufacture a carved air fortress in Manchuria based on the B17. However, it still doesn't work, many technologies on the B17, and hundreds of projects are still under development.
Then Goxinga was embarrassed, there were only a few strategic bombers he remembered, and it was useless to say that no matter how awesome the model was, it was not as good as the B17 model, but he had forgotten it. Goxinga used to remember many drawings of bombers, but he had always been obsessed with the B29, so he drew the drawings of the B29 and B17 as soon as he crossed over, and there was no special record of the rest. Now that it has been more than ten years since Guoxinga crossed, the other models have long been forgotten, and where can they still be drawn. In desperation, only a simplified version of the B17 could be made for 100 projects, and the range was reduced, the bomb load was reduced, and the speed was also reduced a lot. Although it is not a wishful wish, it can be regarded as a four-engine heavy bomber. As for the B29 that Guoxing's obsession, hundreds of projects can only work overtime to tackle technical problems.
More than half of the 36 Eagle targets were already sunk in the water, but this did not affect the bombers' attack. More than 30 tons of aerial bombs accurately landed around the Fuso, which had lost power, and the splash caused by the conflict drowned everything. The Fuso's sturdy hull, which had left the First Yellow Sea Squadron helpless, finally turned into a scattered pile of steel debris in the explosion.
"Boom!" A loud bang was heard, and the hull of the Fuso completely disintegrated. A bomb pierced the deck of the Fuso and then fell into the ammunition depot of the Fuso, causing a chain reaction that killed the huge Fuso.
"All formations of the Air Force are back!" Cao Meng's airship has already returned to the north, and all the fighters are also flying to the north at high speed.
"Report, Commander, Changchun Urgent Telegram!" Five nautical miles away, Li Gen had been watching the excitement and at the same time admiring the terrifying power of aviation weapons. No sooner had the plane departed than the herald reappeared in his control tower.
"What's the matter?" Li Gen wondered why Changchun would cross the Busan Dispatch Headquarters and the Yellow Sea Fleet and give orders directly to himself.
"The great general's order, order us to search for the Japanese crew who fell into the water, and then ......" The herald saw that it was the general's order, like a eunuch who recites the holy decree, and it was extraordinarily serious.
"What? Search and rescue Japanese crews, engage in humanitarian aid? This is the order of the great general! Li Gen jumped up without waiting for the herald to finish reading, and the order seriously exceeded his expectations.
"No, the general ordered us to search and kill all the Japanese crew members to ensure that not a single one of them escaped the net!" The herald was a little stunned, he didn't expect the commander to interrupt the reading of the general's order.
"That's right, how could the general let go of these little Japanese!" Li Gen smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"Commander, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, interrupt the general's order, you have just been too rude!" Shao Shijie would never have had the opportunity to pick a Li Gen brush.
"Yes, yes, yes, I was in a hurry just now!" Li Genzhi was as good as a stream, and saluted respectfully in the direction of Changchun.
The 1st Detachment of the Yellow Sea began to search, they pulled up a large net, sent small boats, and resolutely carried out the orders of the great general, leaving not a single mouth alive. Not to mention the early attack of the fleet and the air force, but the more than 30 tons of aerial bombs dropped by the Eagle Owl formation blew up all the fish in the sea. Ito Yuhiro, Togo Heihachiro and other future famous generals of the Japanese army have been buried in the belly of the fish at this time.
Three days later, Changchun's order came again, requiring all ships of the Yellow Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet to rush to Tokyo Bay and cooperate with the Guards Brigade to launch an attack on Tokyo.
"How did the Guards Brigade come out?" After Li Gen received the order, he made another mistake of being disrespectful, but this time Shao Shijie did not correct him, and it was really strange for the Guards Brigade to leave Changchun.
