"Boom!" There was an earth-shattering loud bang, and a black and red mushroom cloud rose into the sky, which could be seen from afar.

After the earth shook like an earthquake, Seishiro Itagaki, who was trying to stand firm, looked at the place where the explosion exploded in the north, and said with some distraction: "That's Sasebo!" ”

At the same time, Yi Fuen was trying to stabilize the plane from the smoke that rose into the sky. He didn't expect that the explosion at the oil depot below would be so powerful.

His Tianlei crew only carried four 2,000-pound bombs, and this kind of 907-kilogram bomb could penetrate those thick fortifications when dropped from a high altitude, not to mention that he did not have much air defense oil depot.

Sasebo is a military port, and the warships there are equipped with anti-aircraft weapons, which pose a particularly great threat to bombers, so Meng Xiang is naturally not willing to attack these warships directly, and the targets of the thirty heavenly thunders flying to Sasebo are the oil depots of Akasaki, Ansaki, and Yokose, in addition to the ammunition depots of Maeyan and Pino.

The loud bang just now was that Akasaki's oil depot was detonated. The explosion at Nagasaki's largest oil depot set everything around it on fire. The sound of successive explosions continued, but they were far worse than the deafening one just now, which was one of the largest oil depot explosions in the Navy.

"What the hell are they trying to do?" Seishiro Itagaki muttered to himself.

"Then blow up the other oil depots!" Yi Fuen had just stabilized the blackened plane and broke free from the turbulence brought by the soaring flames, when Cao Zida, the bombardier on the plane, shouted loudly.

"Blow one more, blow one more!" Although everyone in the cabin was apprehensive, they couldn't suppress the excitement of lighting a cannon battle.

"Okay, that's ......" Yi Fuen smiled happily although there was a cold sweat behind his back.

But before he could finish speaking, there was another loud bang, and the plane shook for a while, but fortunately, everyone grabbed it just now, so they didn't fall.

Cao Zida touched a big bag on his forehead, and said excitedly: "This is another explosion." Where is this? ”

"The ammunition depot on Pintail Island has exploded!" Toyoda, who was worried about the explosion at the oil depot in Akasaki, felt a little dizzy when he heard the news, which was where Sasebo's largest ammunition depot was located.

"Where did the enemy plane come from?" He shouted.

The air raid sirens sounded in the military port, and the well-trained naval officers and men began to take their positions, and the anti-aircraft guns of the warships were raised high. The warships in Sasebo Harbor were preparing to set sail for the escort mission, and they were well prepared, and as soon as they heard the alarm, they immediately made arrangements. But the bombers didn't come to bomb the warship.

"It's the planes of the Vanguard Army, they're bombing the Nagasaki docks!" A staff officer next to him replied.

Vice Takeshi Toyoda couldn't help but feel dizzy in front of him, but he knew what it meant. Tens of thousands of soldiers were crammed into the docks waiting for the expedition. In the event of a sudden attack, they will have to go on an expedition to Hell.

"Why am I so unlucky?" Toyota's vice president felt aggrieved in his heart, he was captured by the vanguard army when he was in Qingdao, and even the flagship Ashigara was taken away by the vanguard army. Degraded and transferred to the mainland, through the connections of the upper echelons, they were preparing to recover, and not long after receiving the task of escorting the troop carriers, the planes of the vanguard army came to bomb again. The troop carrier had not yet gone to sea at this time, and the responsibility was not his, but the bombing of the oil depot and ammunition depot was definitely his responsibility.

"Akasaki, there's still 50,000 tons of oil, and it's all gone. There is also the ammunition of Pinbi Island, which has been accumulated a lot in preparation for the next expedition to the vanguard army of China, but now it has suddenly become a firework. How could I be unlucky when I ran into the Vanguard? Deputy Commander Fentian sighed.

"Don't panic! Ships went to guard key areas such as oil depots and ammunition depots, and organized personnel to fight fires to prevent the spread of fires. The fleets lined up and increased vigilance. Although he lamented, he still quickly gave the order to give the class, and after thinking about it, he added, "Go rescue Nagasaki!" ”

The bombardment of Sasebo was not very intense, and although the number of personnel deployed was limited, the situation in Nagasaki was only more tragic and needed to be rescued. As a naval port, Sasebo also received the duty of escort, and he had to go there.

"I wonder what's going on in Nagasaki?" After he arranged for two destroyers to go, he kept guessing while organizing the defense of the air.

"Bomb dropping!" Tiger Baibai calmly shouted.

Even if I used smoke to shield the sky above the pier, it still couldn't stop the bombs from pouring down.

Inside the smoke, ships can move around the harbor and escape direct bombardment from aircraft. But the dock couldn't be moved.

The target of the bomber was originally there, and at this time, it was constantly bombarded according to the already set coordinate parameters.

In the distance, his plane flew like a swarm, and his own P-47N rushed up to intercept it, and then the P-38L sniped.

At this time, the planes of the Japanese army were mainly old-fashioned aircraft, and those Zero Combat planes were not near Nagasaki, so they were naturally not the opponents of the more advanced aircraft of the Vanguard Army. One after another, they were knocked down, and then more planes poured in.

In the local operation, as long as the downed plane is not destroyed on the spot, someone will come to the rescue after parachuting. He also has the responsibility of guarding, so he reacted from the shock and said that his counterattack was particularly fierce.

"The little devil still doesn't grow!" Liu Cuigang smiled heartily, his P-47N had shot down two planes just now. The most important thing for a master's work is consciousness, and when Liu Cuigang's body slowly recovered, his master consciousness made him stand out quickly. In the selection of this mission, I was qualified to participate.

Bombing the homeland, even if it is an honor, is also a challenge. Without a certain strength, it will only increase casualties when the time comes. So the pilots who participated in the war this time were all selected. In particular, the fighter pilots of these escorts were all the elite of the Vanguard Air Force at this time.

Just like Liu Cuigang was injured, he had an ace record of 11 in just two years before he was injured. This time, it was two more in a row, and the record rose to 13, and it is still the first trump card in the vanguard air force.

"Their level is good, but the surname of the plane can be too much worse." Le Yiqin replied with a smile. His original record was 8, and he shot down 4 planes at once in the 815 air battle. Today's battle, like Liu Cuigang, was also the first actual battle after recovery, if it weren't for their superhuman performance in the practice competition, Meng Xiang didn't plan to let them come.

The master's consciousness is stronger than that of the average pilot, and he quickly got into one.

There were more than ten men in the vanguard at this time, and there were five of them. Liu Cuigang 13, Liu Zhesheng 12, Feng Wu 11, Chen Ruixi 10, Liang Tiancheng 10.

Although it may not seem like much, there are more than 30 of those with more than 5 planes. With the advantage of the surname of the aircraft, there are hundreds of people who have gotten rid of the problem of zero eggs. He said that he was shot down by the vanguard in the air, and more than 300 planes were shot down one after another. In addition to the planes destroyed at the airport, a total of more than 500 planes were lost in the hands of the vanguard army, which is also a reason why the shadow of the aircraft himself is almost extinct in front of the vanguard army. Even if they want to fight, there are no extra planes left. Elsewhere there was a need for aircraft to fight, and the Vanguard was only sent to the Vanguard as a target for their novice practice.

"It's open again!" Liu Cuigang joked lightly, his body had been cultivated and strengthened during treatment, coupled with superman's first-class consciousness, with the powerful P-47N, he shot down one after another. Make new contributions.

He hit three in a row and his overall record rose to 14.

Liu Zhesheng in the rear also followed closely, and his agility and calmness enabled him to roll over on one side to avoid the attack of a Type 96 ship-attack plane, and quickly shot down the rushing plane from behind. The second result of this battle was harvested.

Feng Wu, who had already determined the development of fighter pilots, also rose to 12 after shooting down one enemy aircraft. After shooting down another plane, Le Yiqin also entered the ranks of 10 records. The rest of the crowd more or less each had a shelf in the account.

"Two shots, I scored twice! Ten planes, I'm also an ace now. The P-47N piloted by Hu Wen quickly emitted a cloud of smoke and soared into the sky, and behind him, an enemy plane was spiraling down. In order to realize the ace dream in his heart, Hu Wen was directly selected for the operation from the Air Force Staff. In today's battle, he finally got what he wanted.

Regarding ace pilots, the standards are different from country to country. If the Americans shoot down five planes, they are ace pilots, and if they shoot down five planes each in the land-based and sea-based air forces, they are double pilots. Shooting down fifteen planes can be considered a super-ace pilot.

But by the standards of the Germans, shooting down ten is considered an ace pilot, and only a record of more than 100 is considered a super ace. It also has to do with their pilots, the Germans had dozens of superaces of more than 100 in WWII, and more than 15 pilots.

There are also some changes to the Ace standard in the Vanguard. The combat exploits of five aircraft can only be regarded as elite pilots, and the record of the same ten aircraft can be considered trump cards. The standard of a superpilot is not as perverted as that of the Germans, but at least fifty.

Hu Wen learned to fly an airplane in the United States, and by American standards, he was already an ace, but by the standards of the Vanguard, his record of 8 aircraft could only be considered elite. And there are many such elites, and today he finally shot down two planes in the first battle and officially stepped into the ranks of aces. After this battle, the number of pilots in the vanguard army who stepped into the ranks of aces reached 9 people. Li Guidan and Huang Xinrui are also among the nine trump cards.

There are seven or eight other elites of 8 or 9 planes. This time the battle was quite successful.

The reason why it is so easy is not that the devil's strength is not good, but mainly because the surname of the plane is too different.

The P-47N was the last Thunderbolt aircraft in World War II, and it was adapted specifically for the Pacific War, having escorted the B-29 from Saipan to the mainland of Japan on several occasions. Not to mention its weapons, its top speed alone reached 752 km/h. Although high-speed sailing was forbidden in the Vanguard, even its cruising speed was 483 kilometers, which exceeded the top speed of the older aircraft.

Thunderbolt has always been known for its thick skin, and most of the old devil planes are 7.7mm machine guns, and Thunderbolt is basically immune to it in most cases. And once the eight 12.7 mm large-caliber machine guns on the lightning fired, the devil's plane will be crippled next to each other. These devils who protect the territory are still just beginning to contact the vanguard army, and they can't help but have some thoughts of underestimating the enemy. So in this case, almost everyone has a new record to start with.

It wasn't just the P-47N that shot down the Devil plane, the Lightning P-38L was just as resistant to hitting, and there were examples of the P-38 returning with more than 100 machine gun bullet holes and 5 shell holes, losing 3 feet of wing.

"Boom!" In a ball of fire, Luo Yingde watched the enemy plane in front of him be quickly blown apart in front of the P-38L's 20mm cannon, and couldn't help clenching his fists tightly with excitement, and the second plane was defeated. The power of the 20mm cannon is enough to make the devil's plane scatter at the touch of it, and with 4 12.7 machine guns, all opponents are powerless.

Just now, it was a one-to-one swap, a single shot, and the devil's small-caliber machine gun and tickle like a tickle, he could clearly see the bullet holes in the wings, but his mount was not the slightest different.

The gap in weapons across generations makes the devil's fighters like dumplings, constantly being shot down, but more and more planes are swarming in. That's long enough time for the devil to fly planes from other neighboring areas. There were many enemy planes, and the planes to protect were somewhat insufficient, and immediately two planes crossed the interception line and, with the help of the cover of their companions, shook off the pursuit of lightning and lightning from behind.

"Knock out those bombers first! Eliminate the threat of the port. Squadron Leader Jiro Kameda shouted, and the plane next to him hurriedly followed. In their eyes, bombers who have lost the cover of escort fighters are fat cattle and sheep, at the mercy of wolves and jackals.

The two fighters swooped down directly on the B-17E Flying Fortress bomber group. But they didn't wait to get close to firing, and at least the tongues of fire of more than thirty large-caliber machine guns blocked their direction.

"Ahh No! Kameda Jiro shouted in horror, and the entangled fire snakes suddenly pumped into his fuselage, and before he could parachute, he was pierced through the chest by two large-caliber machine gun bullets. His hollow eyes could no longer see that his companion's fighter plane was also spewing black smoke.

The B-17E bomber formation has not been disrupted in formation, and it is arranged in three dimensions. The machine guns of dozens of bombers unanimously formed a dense network of fire. Those two devils' planes were directly beaten down by the dense fire of the bomber group.

"Rush up and continue to attack the bombers!" The devils still don't give up, no matter how strong the bomber firepower is, it is easier to deal with than the fighter. However, they converged from various places, lacked unified command, and the communicator was not working from time to time, so they could only count on the cooperation of a small number of people in a small area. On the whole, it is difficult to break through the defensive firepower network of more than 60 air fortresses.

"The pressure is mounting. The bombing is also coming to an end. You're ready to go home! Gu Jun looked at the time and reminded Feng Sandao. Although the operation was less than an hour, the bombing was nearing its end.

"Attention units, prepare to return." Feng San was also paying attention to the ammunition and fuel situation of each team, as well as the number of enemy planes. When the number of enemy planes grows like moths to a flame, he needs to carry out the next plan.

"These pilots are the elite of the Vanguard Army, and we need to bring them back safely." Meng Xiang instructed, "The advantage of this bombing is that it suddenly has a surname. It is said that when we are prepared, our losses will increase. Before I fully reacted, I had to evacuate there first, and don't be too rigid about the one-hour limit. ”

Although Feng San is a clone, the meaning of this sentence is also clear. will be outside, and the monarch's decree will not be affected. The situation on the ground is complex and changeable, and strategic deployment needs to be adjusted at any time.

Depending on the situation, you can arrange your own plan of action. For this reason, Gu Jun, a lieutenant colonel and staff officer of the Air Force, was also arranged on his command plane to help him plan the operation together.

"Throw away all the remaining bombs and get ready to go home!" Serchon, the deputy pilot on the No. 1313 Tianlei bomber, shouted back.

Next to him, the injured soldier Xiao was still steadily piloting the Tianlei to fly with the team. As a veteran pilot who flew 100,000 kilometers in Juncker's mother, the reason for being selected for the Tianlei bomber group carrying a thousand pounds of bombs this time was his stable performance. When he flew the transport plane, he went through many bad weathers and broke through calmly. His experience in dealing with harsh weather also added a lot of points to his selection.

In previous flights, they had already sunk a six-thousand-ton ship, but under the thick smoke, it was no longer possible to determine a specific target. A Sky Mine tried to descend in height, but was hit by anti-aircraft artillery and withdrew first with black smoke in tow. The Sky Thunder is not a Ju-88 universal bomber, it can dive bombing, and its advantage lies in high-altitude bombing.

According to the instructions, the bombs must be dropped, and the targets in the port are not easy to attack, so it is better to bomb the dock.

"Fan Fo, how many big guys are there?" The mechanic pickup leaned against the bulkhead and swayed to the bombardier Fan Har'er.

"Two!" Fan Ha'er smiled and shook a victory gesture.

"Follow the instructions of the pilot machine in front of you and drop these two powerful pills." Xiao Wounded Soldier turned his head and said lightly.

"No problem!" Fan Ha'er is confident that he is accurate, and among the army artillery divisions, his name of the cannon Buddha is not called in vain. Not only is he chanting Amitabha every time he fires a shot, but his shooting accuracy is also one of the best.

The pilot machine in front of him once again sent a signal, Fan Ha'er was just about to make a job, but the Buddhist bead bracelet on his wrist was hung up by the side of the stick, and the tinkling sandalwood Buddha beads rolled to the ground. Fan Ha'er hesitated slightly, but then finished the bomb first, and recited Amitabha Buddha before making the last step of bomb throwing. Two thousand-pound bombs continued to fall from the sky.

Fan Ha'er slowly picked up the beads that had fallen off, and felt a little regretful in his heart, the bomb was dropped a little later than others, and the target must have been a little off. However, the following are all places for me, and there will always be some results.

The bottom was also smoky, and he couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't see that the two bombs he had dropped had landed next to a building.

A bomb fell on the mud floor, and no one was injured except for a large crater. Another 1,000-pound bomb fell from a height of more than 2,000 meters and directly penetrated the entrance to the building's bunker.

"Boom!" The flames of the explosion poured down the tunnels of the underground bunkers, rupturing shrapnel flew everywhere, and the entrance to the tunnel was quickly buried.

"Quick, come and save people!" A few people not far away shouted loudly.

"Shout what? Don't you need help everywhere? A young man pointed to the dead bodies all over the ground and shouted viciously. Those who shouted also looked like soldiers, how could they panic like ordinary civilians?

"Help!" One of them saw that Shao Zuo was followed by a dozen soldiers, and immediately grabbed his hand.

"Yaga, let go!" The young man tried to shake his hand away, but the man's words froze him.

"King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace is down there!"

Fan Ha'er didn't know that he had a little mistake, and it happened to fall to the place where King Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace was hiding. Hearing the return of Xiao's wounded soldiers, he still had a little regret on his face at this time.

"Collective return! Fighters take cover! Feng San's calm voice echoed through the planes.

The escort fighters continued to block the devil's blockade, and the bomber formation began to fly towards the sky.

Whether it is the practical ceiling of 11,156 meters of the B-17E, or the P-47N and P-38L with an altitude of more than 13,000 kilometers, it is not something that those old aircraft of the devils can catch up. Even if the latest zero ceiling is only 10,000 meters, not to mention the others. They could only watch as the fleet of the vanguard army flew higher and higher, farther and farther.

Hearing that the people of the royal family were below, everyone hurried to first aid. The overburden was quickly dug up. There were already people falling on the ground in the passage, and a group of local accompanying officials followed King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace into the bunker, and most of the devil generals chose to command outside.

"I've found King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace!" Someone shouted in surprise, "He's still alive!" ”

After another violent explosion, the ground of the dock temporarily returned to calm, and the stench of burning corpses was everywhere, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of corpses. There was also a layer of corpses floating in the sea, and the schools of fish that came running to smell the blood began to bite the faces that still had expressions of horror and helplessness. Although the sea water can avoid bombing, in the cold water of winter, people can survive for a shorter time. They were either drowned or frozen to death in the sea.
