Wen Xuezhong looked up, and there were several more planes passing by, and he was very familiar with the model of this plane, and he immediately recognized that it was a "Tianshan Naval Attack".

Under the cover of the "Gale" fighters, the attack plane group swooped down on the Chinese [***] ships anchored in the harbor, and the Chinese [***] ships, which had been prepared for a long time, launched artillery fire one after another to counterattack while raising anchor; because the antiaircraft fire of the Chinese sailors was extremely fierce, the five "Tianshan Naval Attackers" that had just swept in front of them were intercepted by the antiaircraft guns of the cruiser and the destroyer when they were trying to approach a Chinese aircraft carrier, and they were all smashed by a volley in an instant.

"Where is the alert fleet? Where is the submarine? What is the radar station doing? Why aren't alerts provided! Wen Xuezhong threw himself in front of the table in anger and grabbed the phone, but there was a dead silence in the microphone, and there was no operator's voice.

Wen Xuezhong suddenly understood what was going on, he and Li Shicheng glanced at each other, and invariably said "Communication Center ......"!

As soon as Wen Xuezhong's words fell, there was a sudden sound in the corridor outside, "Bang bang!" "The gunshots! There seemed to be a beastly roar in between.

Li Shicheng realized that it was not good, he suddenly pulled out his pistol and blocked it in front of Wen Xuezhong, Wen Xuezhong rushed to the desk, pulled out a drawer suddenly, and took out the pistol inside.

The door suddenly shattered, Wen Xuezhong and Li Shicheng flashed to the pillars on both sides, only to see two guards covered in blood fly straight in and fall heavily to the ground.

Wen Xuezhong, who saw this scene, was taken aback, he poked his head out slightly from behind the pillar, and saw a tall strange man hunched over roared wildly and rushed in.

Seeing this ragged and hideous-looking stranger, Wen Xuezhong somehow had the feeling of seeing a beast.

The strange man rushed into the office and looked around vigilantly, as if he was searching for something, Wen Xuezhong raised his gun and wanted to shoot, but Li Shicheng waved his hand anxiously, signaling him not to act rashly.

Wen Xuezhong noticed that there was blood in many places on the strange man's body, which was obviously caused by the assault rifle of the [***] man, but the strange man seemed to be unconcerned about the injuries on his body, as if he was a monster that didn't know the pain.

The strange man stopped in the middle of the office, sniffing the air with his nose, and soon, as if he had discovered Wen Xuezhong's hiding place, he strode over to this side.

Seeing this, Li Shicheng, who was on the other side, suddenly raised his pistol and shot the strange man in the back three times, the strange man's body trembled suddenly, and he turned around and threw himself at Li Shicheng.

"General! Come on! Li Shicheng yelled, and while raising his gun fiercely to shoot, he greeted the stranger.

Li Shicheng's marksmanship is extremely accurate, the bullet bites the flesh, the bullet drills into the stranger's skin, splashing a little blood, but the stranger seems to be unaware, Li Shicheng's pistol quickly emptied the bullet, at this time the stranger has already pounced on the front and punched him violently, Li Shicheng rolled flexibly and hid to the side. Wen Xuezhong saw that Li Shicheng was in distress, and immediately raised his gun and opened fire.

Wen Xuezhong noticed that Li Shicheng's shot just now did not cause much damage to the stranger, so when he shot this time, he directly greeted the other party's head.

The two bullets drilled directly into the neck of the strange man, the strange man let out a piercing howl, turned around, glared at Wen Xuezhong angrily, and covered his neck with his hand, Wen Xuezhong saw the blood line spurting out from his thick fingers, and knew that he had hit the other party's vital point this time.

The strange man howled again, Wen Xuezhong saw a cold light flashing in the other party's hand, and there was a thin and long steel knife, he didn't think about it, the gun in his hand fired again, only this time the place he aimed at was not the strange man's neck, but the eyes.

Wen Xuezhong has always insisted on shooting practice, and this time at the moment of life and death, he brought his shooting skills to the extreme.

One bullet after another drilled into the strange man's bronze bell-like eyes, the strange man wailed loudly, his body stopped instantly, he threw away the steel knife in his hand, held his head with both hands, kept shaking, and finally fell down like a wall, not moving.

Wen Xuezhong threw down the pistol that had emptied the bullets, and at this time he didn't look at the dead stranger, but he and Li Shicheng each unloaded the useful equipment from the sacrificed guards and ran out quickly.

"Look! Fuchida-kun! What is that? ”

On the commander's plane, pilot Matsuzaki pointed to the huge figure of the Chinese fleet berth in the distance.

"That's the 'Yamato' of the Shina people." Mitsuo Fuchida held up the binoculars, looked at the huge battleship that made people feel awe-inspiring from the bottom of his heart, and said in a deep voice.

What appeared in front of him was the largest warship of the Chinese Navy, the super battleship "Fuxi"!

The "Fuxi" class super battleship is the largest steel fortress built by the Chinese since the beginning of the city, and like the German "Great Germany" class battleship and the "Yamato" class battleship of Yuben, it is the pinnacle of the battleship era and a witness to this crazy shipbuilding era.

For the displacement of more than 140,000 tons, with 16 460 mm guns of the "Fuxi" class battleship, has only existed in the description of the relevant report of the intelligence department, because its construction process is too mysterious, so that many people themselves denied its existence, until today, in the sky above the port of Truk, Fuchida Mitsuo for the first time to witness its true face of Lushan!

After the attack began, this giant ship became the main target of the plane, but what the pilots did not expect was that the anti-aircraft firepower of this giant ship was unprecedentedly strong, and with the escort of cruisers and destroyers, all the planes that flew close to it were destroyed without exception.

As the plane flew closer and closer, Fuchida was surprised to see that the four formidable barrels of the No. 1 main turret in the bow of the ship were rising high.

Fuchida understood what the Chinese were planning to do, and sitting in the small cabin, his heart suddenly tightened.

The huge cannon barrel suddenly erupted into a long flame, and Fuchida saw that four fireballs instantly bloomed in the group of Yueben attack planes in the distance, and several Yueben planes immediately emitted black smoke, and the two "Tianshan Naval Attackers" directly caught fire, pulling a long black smoke and falling into the sea.

"This is a shell specially used by the people of China to deal with air raids!" Mizuki Hyocao said in horror.

"The defenses here are much tighter than those in the Ministry of Intelligence say!" Matsuzaki also said, "This is Truk!" ”

Before the operation began, Fuchida and others received information that the port of Truk was well defended, with about 500 anti-aircraft guns, as well as artillery on the warship, mine nets, searchlights, and blocking balloons (blocking balloons are particularly dangerous for low-flying torpedo planes), and that the Chinese naval authorities were said to have been prepared for a possible attack on Truk, in addition to the equipment for setting off smoke screens. After analyzing all the information in detail, Yamamoto decided that Truk's defenses were not very strong, so he decided to attack on August 12, but the day before the fleet set sail, the aircraft carrier "Zuizuru" was damaged by a bomb dropped by Chinese planes that had exploded nearby, and seawater poured into the aviation gasoline tank, and the operation had to be postponed until August 14...... At nearly 6 o'clock, under the cover of the morning light, 275 planes of the first attack wave rumbled across the flight deck of the aircraft carrier and flew toward Truk Harbor, about 170 nautical miles away. The first attack wave was led by Mizu Yuosa Fuchida. On the way to attack, they encountered a powerful slipstream, and the planes slammed up and down like a school of fish in a daze. This is the price that had to be paid in order to effectively avoid the alert fleet of the Chinese. Because the Chinese were in a tight position, the first attack wave was detected by ground surveillance as early as far from the coast, so this attack was not at all unprepared. When Fuchida saw the flickering tongue of fire from the ground anti-aircraft guns, the plane was still 30 nautical miles away from the target!

"The people of China seem to know that we are coming." Mizuki Hyocao said.

"The Army's 'Special Infiltration Unit' is no longer in the driver's seat." Matsuzaki said a little depressed, "I don't think they completed the mission, the radar of the Shina people still found us, otherwise there would not be so many planes in the air." ”

"No, they're doing a great job." "The vigilant fleet and submarines of the Shina discovered us and reported our location very early, but the China's reaction was not swift enough, indicating that their radar station and communication relay warfare had been damaged," Fukita said. This greatly delayed the take-off of the Chinese plane, otherwise we would not have been able to get here safely. ”

"You're right, Fuchida-kun." "They've completed their mission, and it's up to us now." ”

Fuchida nodded, he opened the cockpit canopy and fired a flare, which was the signal to order the torpedo attack aircraft to start diving. Braving the volcanic eruption of fire formed by the explosion of artillery shells around them, the "Tien Shan" shipboard attack aircraft dived downward, 7,000 feet ......, 5,000 feet ......, and the fireball of the shell explosion fired by the [***] ship shook the planes, and although it was already dawn, the strong light from the Chinese searchlights still made people unable to open their eyes. At an altitude of less than 2,000 feet above the inky blue waters of Truk Harbor, planes flew through the blocking balloon. The wing of an attack aircraft on the "Tien Shan" ship almost hit the steel cable blocking the balloon. The plane dived to only 30 feet above the surface of the sea before firing a torpedo at a medium [***] ship in front. The torpedo swept past a Chinese destroyer and hit an even bigger target - a Chinese heavy cruiser. A large hole was blown by a torpedo in the rear of the warship's bow turret, and the sea rushed in, and Fuchida watched as the mid-[***] ship slowly tilted, but its deck was not swallowed by the sea. However, the "Tianshan Naval Attack" that successfully hit it could not get out, and a series of anti-aircraft shells slashed it to pieces.

The other two "Comet" shipboard critique planes passed through the stormy antiaircraft artillery fire and dropped bombs on the Chinese Navy's newest and largest battleship, the "Fuxi" with a displacement of 140,000 tons; the bombs hit the "Fuxi," but only caused two clouds of black smoke, and the two planes could not get out safely; although they successfully evaded antiaircraft fire with their superb technology, they were blocked by the two Chinese "Skylark" fighters that suddenly appeared, and they fell into the sea after being hit and caught fire. There were also two torpedoes fired by attack aircraft on the "Tien Shan" ship that almost hit the battleship "Fuxi". The torpedoes they threw exploded after hitting the nearby dock, and the violent explosion failed to shake the hull of the huge battleship. Some of the bombers were intercepted by Chinese fighters and could not attack the [***] ship, so they attacked the port facilities in Truk Harbor, although many bombs hit the target and exploded, but only destroyed some oil storage tanks, causing the Chinese seaplane hangar to catch fire, although the damage caused by these attacks was not large, but it restrained the Chinese fighter group and facilitated further attacks by torpedo attack aircraft.

He said that the results of the first attack wave were limited, but the second attack wave soon began, and hundreds of "Tianshan" and "Comet" attack planes easily broke through the ferocious crossfire network of battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and land antiaircraft artillery groups. About 30 more than 30 aircraft were shot down during this breakthrough, which was simply a huge disaster. Observer Hattori Navy Major (whose aircraft attacked the wounded Chinese battleship "Republic") reported: "The 'Republic' spotted us and opened fire on us. Its close-range guns fired one after another, firing flashes one after another, and the entire ship was filled with flashing light paths,...... They opened fire on us with all the weapons on board! "At a distance of 700 yards from the target, Hattori pulled the thunderbolt handle, but there was no movement! At this time, Hattori's eyes seemed to be filled with the huge shadow of the battleship. He frantically moved the thunderbolt handle. At the last moment, the torpedo was finally dropped and rushed to the towering side of the "Republic" with unerring accuracy. Immediately afterwards, another torpedo hit the battleship "Mingzhuo". After completing the mine-throwing maneuver, Hattori's "Tien Shan" attack planes desperately carried out evasive maneuvers, easily passing through the dense barrage and billowing smoke, and escaped by grabbing the road.

Despite a sudden and large-scale attack by the Chinese themselves, and the temporary loss of command due to the interruption of communications, the Chinese defenders did not panic and resolutely launched a counterattack according to the plan of response that had been prepared in advance. The vast majority of the planes were driven away by antiaircraft fire from warships and "Skylark" fighters. He said that his attack had caused serious damage to some of the warships, but none of them were fatal. Some of the Chinese [***] ships successfully sailed out of the harbor under the auspices of the sailors.

Upon learning of the poor results, Nagumo Tadaichi decided to go on the offensive, and soon 140 planes swooped down from the north at an altitude of 12,000 feet. Those officers who were unusually familiar with the plane quickly recognized it as a "Comet" aircraft. The dive bombers, divided into three groups, rushed at their main target, the USS Dragon King, with a shrill whistling sound. Under the guidance of the captain, Colonel Qu Shengwen, the huge aircraft carrier constantly changed course, performed evasive maneuvers, and shot a wall of fire to fiercely counterattack the attack of the plane. The "Dragon King" shot down 12 planes in succession, but the continuous bomb hits shook the aircraft carrier. In total, it hit 6 500-kilogram bombs, the ship caught fire, and only survived the sinking thanks to the protection of an armored flight deck. The "Dragon King" barely sailed to the edge of the island and carried out temporary emergency repairs.

At this time, on the super battleship "Yamato", Yamamoto Isoroku was listening to the battle report sent back from the front.

"At the moment it is determined to hit 2 enemy aircraft carriers, 3 battleships, 4 heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers, 3 destroyers......"

"How's the situation with the Fuxi?" Yamamoto asked, interrupting the staff's report with some annoyance.

"It has been determined that 12 bombs and 3 torpedoes hit the target......"

Seeing Yamamoto Fifty-six's face was very ugly, he probably didn't think that such a report had much meaning, and the staff focused their attention on General Yamamoto.

Everyone knows that as a superbattleship with a tonnage larger than the "Yamato", the damage caused by these bombs and torpedoes was almost negligible.

And to achieve such a result, a considerable number of aircraft and excellent pilots have already been spent!

"The people of China have already taken precautions, and now it is too difficult to defeat them." Yamamoto Fifty-six said with a little melancholy.

"This time, if we can achieve the goal of severely damaging its air force, it will be fine." Kuroshima Kametoshi said on the side, "As for the two super warships of the Chinese, they can be solved by a fleet decisive battle. ”

"What do you mean is that Ben needs a second battle in the Sea, right?" Yamamoto asked.

"We have four super warships, and there are only two in China, so we still have a better chance of winning." Kuroshima Kameto said, "There is only one super combat ship in the Shina Navy in Truk, and now we can fight such a battle." ”

"Do you think the Shina will drive their super battleship in front of us?" Yamamoto asked with some annoyance, "Would they be stupid enough to let their warships get out of the cover of the planes?" ”

"So I say that the purpose of this operation is to inflict heavy damage — and of course preferably destroy — the aviation forces of the Chinese in Truk." The Black Island Turtle Man said with a chewing word.

"Even if we can destroy the existing aviation forces of the China Navy, what can we do?" Yamamoto said, "Have you calculated? How many planes and pilots will we lose? ”

Hearing Yamamoto Fifty-Six's words, the Black Island Turtle Man suddenly understood what Yamamoto Fifty-Six was worried about, and couldn't help but close his mouth.

"The current aviation force is the elite that has been accumulated over many years! Once you lose it all, have you ever thought about the consequences? Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at Kuroshima Kameto, and the wrinkles on his face wrinkled even tighter.
