Chapter 168: Bombing Enemy Ships
On the surface of the Yangtze River estuary, the devil lookouts on the four devil cruisers suddenly found that there were flashing lights in the night sky in the southeast and came quickly, at first these devil lookouts thought it was the lights of other warships on the river in the distance, but then took a closer look and found that something was wrong, how could the warships on the river have such a fast moving speed?
The devil looked at the soldiers and took a closer look, only to find that those flashing lights were actually the night lights on the four large bombers, and they immediately became nervous, and immediately sounded the air raid siren to inform the ship: "The enemy plane is coming!" ”
The "woo" siren sounded violently, and the devil sailors on the cruiser immediately ran out of the cabin and ran to the anti-aircraft gun position, at this time, the devil soldiers watching from the ship finally found that it was the bombers of the Chinese army that flew over, because the appearance of those planes was different from the bombers of their own naval aviation!
The devil lookout immediately issued another wave of warnings, at this time all the anti-aircraft weapons on the three devil cruisers pointed at the dark night sky, as the small flag in the hand of a devil officer waved down, the cruiser's anti-aircraft guns took the lead in firing, and sprayed blazing flames at the bombers flying over in the night sky.
Immediately after that, all kinds of anti-aircraft machine guns on the ship opened fire one after another, and for a while, blood-red tongues of fire sprayed into the night sky, and the cannon roared, and the scene was very beautiful.
But the devil's anti-aircraft weapons had almost no effect on the bombers under Captain Gu's command flying in the air, and the four bombers immediately scattered in all directions, and after circling over the bow of the ship, they swooped down towards one of the devil cruisers from four directions!
The captain of this devil cruiser saw the bomber swooping down on his side, and hurriedly shouted at his subordinates: "Hurry up and move to avoid it!" ”
On the sea, when the ship is bombed by enemy planes in the air, what it can do is to desperately use all the anti-aircraft weapons equipped on board that can hit the enemy planes in the air to fire indiscriminately, forcing the enemy planes to evade the bullets and pull them up into the clouds in the air.
But the devil captain forgot that this is on the Yangtze River, not on the wide East China Sea outside, although the Yangtze River is very wide, but after all, it is an inland river, and there are three other cruisers of similar size to him near at this moment, there is no room for maneuvering, what else are you maneuvering to dodge? Isn't that?
The devil officer under his command reported: "There are ships around, and the river is too narrow to maneuver to evade!" ”
"Yaga! Then evacuate at full speed and rush out of the mouth of the Yangtze River! "The captain of the devil realized that the Chinese military plane in his head was about to dive down, and he couldn't care about the embarrassment, so hurry up!
A bomber with the "blue sky and white sun" emblem painted on its wings swooped down towards the bridge of the cruiser with a roar, and the devil artillery on the ship yelled and screamed, desperately trying to intercept and shoot with machine guns like crazy, but the bomber seemed to completely ignore these interceptive fire, and the moment it flew over the bridge, a huge thing fell from the plane and landed on the deck on the left side of the ship!
"Lie down!" The captain of the devil who was shouting on the deck knew that it was a bomb that had fallen, so he shouted and hurriedly fell to the ground.
It's too late, it's fast, I only saw a dazzling white light shining, a deafening explosion sounded, the shock wave of the explosion swept like a tide, and the devil soldiers on the deck who didn't have time to dodge were lifted by the shock wave like autumn leaves, and thrown into the river, some devils were hit by the shock wave on the bulkhead of the bridge, and all the internal organs were shattered, and the seven orifices bled to death!
The devil captain lying on the deck fortunately grabbed a pillar next to him, so that he was not swept out by the shock wave of the explosion, but at this time, the fire quickly burned on the side of the ship, and soon spread to the bridge and other cabins, the fire burned the ship's cables, emitting a pungent smell, thick smoke billowed and the fire soared into the sky!
The terrible sirens kept sounding, and a large number of devil soldiers with water pipes rushed to extinguish the fire, and the devil captain hurriedly got up from the deck, rushed to the cockpit, and asked the pilots to immediately retreat towards the sea off the mouth of the Yangtze River at full speed!
So the devil cruiser dragging the billowing smoke was like a bison that was suddenly bitten and desperately drove at full speed, escaping towards the mouth of the Yangtze River, in the process of escaping, this devil cruiser sank several nearby devil gunboats in a row, wiped off a corner of the cruiser next to it, and was so angry that the other devil captains scolded: "Baga! Fleeing for your life in a hurry and sinking friendly ships is a shame for the Navy! ”
Soon, the devil captains who cursed and fled immediately realized the state of mind of the captain who escaped just now, and after the other three combined bombers dropped aerial bombs on their ships and exploded on the deck, these three devil cruisers ran faster than one another, scrambling to escape towards the sea off the mouth of the Yangtze River!
They are not stupid, they know that in front of the bombers, although the cruiser has anti-aircraft weapons such as anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, it is almost useless, it is just a bombed cargo, if it does not run, it will definitely be blown up and sunk to feed the fish!
As soon as the bomber pilots under Captain Gu saw that the devil ship was fleeing in a hurry, they circled in the sky and flew over again, threw the bombs they brought, and then strafed them with the 20-millimeter cannon equipped with the plane's self-defense.
The cannon shells rained down like rain on the devil cruisers, hitting the decks and bulkheads, bursting out a series of dazzling sparks, this time, those devil cruisers ran faster, and constantly fired smoke bombs outward, enveloping the entire hull in dense smoke.
After the bomber used all the guns and ammunition, he pulled up the nose and turned around and went back, and Captain Gu received a report from his subordinates: four enemy ships had been bombed and fled from the mouth of the Yangtze River!
That's enough, as long as there is no long-range bombardment from the devil's naval guns on this side of Huishan Wharf, Haizi and Liu Ruye will be able to support the reinforcements brought by Han Fei to arrive!
At this moment, on the side of Huishan Wharf, Yamamoto Devil launched a new attack on the dock position, just when he confidently thought that after this shelling, the Chinese army on the pier had no resistance, but he and his men were greeted by more fierce firepower than ever, although Yamamoto Devil tried his best, but was still beaten down by Haizi and Liu Ruye, and suffered heavy casualties, many casualties!
