Chapter 204: The Air Force's Performance
The three whistles of the armored train were not a unified signal for battle, but a clarion call for a charge.
Six Niu soldiers continued to fill the boiler with coal, and the armored train rushed through several checkpoints in the Sifang District at high speed and rushed into the port of Qingdao.
But they were still a step too late, and at this time, the sky over the port of Qingdao was already covered by more than fifty aircraft.
At this time, Stuka's scream pierced the sky and rushed towards the Okishima moored in the harbor. When the devil soldiers on duty received the air defense alarm, they immediately ran to start the two single-mounted three-year 76mm L/40 anti-aircraft guns.
But three screaming Stuka D-1s had already swooped down. Rushed to the front and rear parts of the Okishima respectively, and the machine gun in the nose directly thought about the busy devils on the deck. Several gunners who had just sat on the anti-aircraft guns fell headlong with more than a dozen blood holes all over their bodies, and hurriedly tore them off by other devils and continued to replace them.
"Give you a chestnut to taste!" After Yi Fuen dropped the 500-kilogram bomb in the belly of the aircraft, he quickly stabilized the fuselage, shouted loudly, and pulled it up again. Behind him, a dull explosion sounded in his ears.
"Boom!" Another bang was heard from the rear of the Okishima.
"We hit it too!" Dong Changhe shouted. His companion Feng Seventeen didn't say a word, and directly swept the machine gun at the busy devils on the deck.
A loud "boom" came from the hull of the ship, and the bomb dropped by Yi Fuen just now detonated the boiler of the Okishima.
Only a 500-kilogram bomb of the Okishima, which is more than 4,000 tons, is enough to sink it, not to mention that Chen Zhiman, who was hit by two at once, followed by Chen Zhiman, hesitated slightly, but still dropped another bomb. Just now he was in charge of cover, and rushed directly to the devil's anti-aircraft artillery, and his companion used a twin-mounted MG17 machine gun to beat the gunner of the anti-aircraft gun to the back of the horse, and delayed for some time. With the newly installed one-ton armor of the Stuka D-1 to protect the vital point, it blocked the whirlwind of some shrapnel. Only the left wing was damaged a little by shrapnel, but it did not affect his work, and in order to reduce the weight of that side, he still dropped the 250 kg bomb hanging on the left pylon.
Another bang.
The Okishima, which was already a little crooked, directly burst a big hole, and a more violent explosion came from the inside, and the hundreds of mines carried by the Okishima were directly detonated.
"There's no need for a torpedo machine anymore!" Huang Chaoyang, who had just swooped down in the sky and was about to take some credit, looked at the five swordfish torpedo planes flying over in the distance, and couldn't help but smile.
As he spoke, he circled and swooped down toward a gunboat. In addition to the Okishima, there were five or six small gunboats in the harbor. Although there is less meat, it is still meat.
"Let go of me!" Jiro Koike struggled to break free from the dog that was biting his wrist in front of him. Inoue Zuoai was already lying on the ground and was silent, and a big yellow dog was about to bite him on the throat.
For the sudden attack of the dogs, the devils did not react, they were pounced, Koike because he has been on guard, so he dodged, but there were too many dogs, and after he stabbed the dog that pounced on him, he was bitten by another dog on the wrist holding the bayonet. The bayonet fell to the ground.
With great difficulty, Koike picked up the fallen bayonet with his other hand and stabbed the black dog in front of him. But before he could stab the dog, there was a gunshot like fried beans in his ears, and then he felt a pain in his back, and he didn't know anything.
"Rush forward!" As soon as Monkey Ba waved his hand, the five members of the special squad behind him rushed to the fort of Qingdao Mountain, where the dogs tore through the defense line.
Da Da, Suomy's submachine gun opened fire on the devil who was running towards the gun position.
The unprepared devils fell to the ground one after another.
Monkey 19 ripped off the light and powerful explosives bag he was carrying from behind, pulled down the strings, and threw it at the pile of ammunition that was on the swing, and with a quick greeting, the group quickly flashed back to the thick walls of the bunker and fell to the ground.
There was a loud bang, and a few stones fell on his back, and Li Changye, who was in pain, had already heard the impact of the huge fortress cannon landing.
"Alright, that's enough!" A big stone fell in his heart, this mission did not require occupation, only destruction, without the threat of fortress artillery, and the fortress alone could not stop the vanguard army from attacking in the urban area of Qingdao.
Smoke of explosives rose from the other three forts that posed a threat to Qingdao City.
"There's a battery, the attack plan fails, Stuka strikes!" Fan Chong is directing the dispatch of the front line at any time.
"Understood!" After Feng San received the signal, he personally led the three standby Stukas to swoop towards the battery.
"Da Da Da" took out the turret and set up a 20 mm anti-aircraft gun, and kept shooting at the planes in the sky.
The 210-mm fortress guns of the batteries there also turned the direction of their muzzles, began to roar, and directly bombarded the armored train more than 50 meters away, directly overturning the rails in front of it into the sky, twisting into a ball and falling in front of the armored train.
The 105-mm guns of the armored train turned their muzzles and began to return fire, but such batteries did not break through from the inside, and it was difficult to break through from the outside. Niu Shi also knew, but it was just a distraction.
Feng San's Stuka dodged the bombardment of the anti-aircraft gun, screaming and swept past the battery, the 500-kilogram bomb exploded behind him, although the fortress gun was temporarily fine, but the battery collapsed, and the anti-aircraft gun did not know where to fly. The smoke had not yet dissipated, and the Stuka driven by Zhang Heyang also arrived in front of the fortress gun, without the interference of the anti-aircraft gun, he easily dropped a bombshell, directly hit the fortress gun, and detonated the surrounding ammunition. Huge flames rose into the sky, and hot rubble flew out of it.
"The fortress cannon is no longer a threat!" Zhang Heyang whistled and shouted easily.
"Enemy attack!" Donghe Yangkou shouted loudly and ran quickly to the tarmac of the airport. But the planes of the vanguard army were already over their heads.
More than a dozen bombs fell in the air, and hundreds of small bombs exploded in the air, covering the entire tarmac for a while.
At this time, the explosion rate of cluster bombs was relatively low, but it was enough to detonate more than 30 planes on the tarmac. The devils were caught off guard, and a group of pilots who were boarding the plane also melted into the flames with the exploding plane.
"This kind of bomb is amazing!" Chen Rui looked at the sea of fire under him and sighed, if it was before, he would have to use a machine gun to strafe several times, but now there are only ten HS-123s throwing out a dozen butterfly bombs.
"This is the devil's naval aviation, and it's too vulnerable!" Sun Tonggang pouted.
Kumano Ryota looked sadly at the sea of fire under the plane, and couldn't help but redden. At the same time that the runway of the airport was also blown up, the planes of the entire flight team ran out of him and the two people in the well, and the others were either planted on the runway or died in the fire before they could start.
The planes of the vanguard army came too suddenly, they had just received the news that the vanguard army had arrived in Jiaozhou, and they were about to bomb after lunch, but the planes of the vanguard army appeared in the sky above the airport one step ahead.
At this time, four black dots came in the distance.
"Great, that's Ikeda's patrol team." Kumano's heart was excited, and he suddenly thought of something, and his face changed drastically, and he shouted in the communicator, "Ikeda, run!" But it was too late, and the clouds swooped down eight fighter jets and rushed towards Ikeda. One impact knocked out two devils' ninety-six types.
Kumano looked at the two BF-109 fighters that stopped in front of him, and couldn't help but be grief-stricken. Today it seems that there is no way out.
Before he could sigh, the plane rushing towards him had already opened fire.
"No need to fry the oil depot, we will take it there! The devils don't have many planes left. Li Guidan stopped his subordinates from planning to dive and attack the place marked on the map of the oil depot, and the battle was going well, and the oil depot did not need to be fried. Looking at the sea of fire on the airport, he was full of emotion, he used to fight with devils, although there were times when he had the upper hand, but it was also very difficult to win, where did he think it was so easy now. In addition to the two planes that were shot down by anti-aircraft artillery at the beginning, they dropped submunitions directly on the head of the devils, blowing up more than 30 planes.
The remaining period of fighting also became the stage of the air force, and the devils did not expect to be attacked by air raids, and the air defense force was at most a little stronger than that of the Central Army, and it was soon overwhelmed by the swarming aircraft group. The planes in the sky are like a swarm of wasps, and wherever there is a fierce resistance from the devils, they will swarm there and attack in turn.
Under the attack of the aircraft, the armored train was useless, and Li Tiexia decisively asked Niu Shi to continue to assault forward and occupy the railway station and various key institutions around it. Soldiers on a train behind had jumped out and taken part in the battle to retake the port. A battalion rushed directly to the quadrangular district to the east, where factories were particularly concentrated.
The other followed the armoured train and continued southward. Only this time the speed is much slower, drive a little way, stop for a while, and put down a group of fighters to occupy the surrounding area.
At this time, many important institutions in Qingdao were very close to the railway.
"Hurry up! Fence that customs. "The customs has been replaced, and the British have no choice but to hand over the power and give it to Yue himself.
"That Mitsubishi company was fenced off, and those who resisted were directly killed."
The Gas Factory, the China Navy Factory, the Sifang Machinery Factory, the Zhongxing Flour Mill, the Maochang Egg Refrigeration Factory, the Jilu Needle Factory, the Lisheng Iron Factory, the Huasheng Match Factory, and the Shandong Tobacco Factory, all of which are listed on the list, are all occupied. In each team, there are local people in Qingdao to lead the way, and they go directly to the destination.
There was only sporadic resistance along the way, and the devil's team was concentrated near the headquarters and barracks, and the armored train was already firing there, but the pilots seemed to be one step ahead.
"Don't catch them alive, shoot them directly!" Meng Xiang's rhetoric made the pilots' attacks unscrupulous.
250 kg of bombs were dropped directly on the complex of the command. 50 kg of small bombs are flying everywhere, cluster bombs are not good for construction, but they are effective for the few devils in the devil barracks.
The planes that had dropped the bombs fired directly with machine guns and ammunition. directly hit the devil to hide in the building and dare not take his head.
"It's up to us Army!" Li Tiexia said proudly with jealousy. For a while, I only watched the performance of the flying wing.
"Up, rush in!" Li Tiexia waved his hand, and the mortars carried by the soldiers came first to attack, and then under the suppression of the MG-34's bullet rain, groups of soldiers rushed into various buildings, and the Suomi submachine gun they carried with them rang non-stop. From time to time, there was the roar of grenades.
Without artillery support, the devil faced Suomi and the machine gun, and could only drink and bullet it.
"The first echelon withdraws, and the second echelon continues to attack!" Feng Yi commanded calmly.
"Roger!" Feng San replied.
The first wave of the attack vanguard flew more than eighty aircraft, the second wave had only more than thirty.
In order to ensure the smooth attack, Meng Xiang sent most of the pilots in his hands to the first wave.
Since the establishment of the training center, only nine training places at a time have been a headache for him, and there is a shortage of talent everywhere. Spies, gunners, tankmen, naval officers, doctors, and even logistics personnel need to be trained, but from beginning to end, Meng Xiang has done his best to train pilots. At this time, the number of Clone Troop pilots had reached 90, and 5 people died in air battles.
Including more than 40 pilots who were exchanged for the Central Army and gathered from all over the country.
The one hundred and twenty flight trainees who have completed the primary course in the new training can only complete some simple actions, at this time, as the pilots' deputies, to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, even if the ** one has made rapid progress, although he pilots the plane alone, he only follows the rear to deal with the infantry, and the air combat is still just some rookies.
"Good luck to you!" Huang Qiyang shouted to Liu Zhesheng and the others in the second echelon who had already flown over. He only harvested a small gunboat of less than 100 tons, which made him a little depressed.
"Don't have many goals, do you?" Liang Tiancheng also felt a little depressed, he heard about the battle situation, the large and small warships in the port were named, and even the half-sunken Moqiu submarine was blown up and sank and never came up again. A destroyer in the harbor that was being repaired was also directly blown apart, and the keel was completely finished.
"It would have been nice if the Ashigara and the 15th Destroyer had been there!" Meng Xiang also sighed. He didn't expect it to be so easy, the devil's carelessness about air defense made him miss a good opportunity to annihilate the devil's Fourth Fleet. In this air raid, only six aircraft were lost.
The Swordfish torpedo machine he specially produced turned out to be a soy sauce trip, and even the Moqiu submarine was due to Stuka.
Under such an attack, even if the Ashigara and the 15th Destroyer Fleet were in the second, I am afraid that they would not be able to change the fate of sinking.
