Chapter 1186: Blood spills in the blue sky

"Whew!" Fierce sirens sounded at the San Diego Naval Base and the airfields around San Diego, and groups of air defense troops were rushing to the air defense positions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSome of them are still young men who have just come of age, and the childishness on their faces has not faded. The terrible sirens gave them some panicked expressions on their faces. After all, the vast majority of them are on the battlefield for the first time.

At an airport northeast of San Diego, hundreds of P-36 fighter jets are parked on the apron. Large groups of ground crews are busy, refueling and reloading the fighters. On the runway, several fighters on duty were preparing for takeoff. They have long been refueled with fuel and ammunition and ready to take off at any time.

"Boys, get ready to take off, the Chinese plane has already arrived. Your task is to hold back the Chinese and strive for more planes to take off. "In the headphones of the American pilots, the sound of the conning tower came from the earphones.

"Yes, sir. For the sake of America, fight to the end. The pilots said.

The two P-36 fighters were the first to start gliding, and as they got faster, the nose cocked upwards and then rushed into the sky. After these two P-36 fighters, six more P-36 fighters are waiting to take off.

However, at this time, the carrier-based aircraft force of the Imperial Navy had already arrived. In the western sky, large groups of Imperial carrier-based aircraft appeared. The US military planes, which are preparing to take off, are undoubtedly facing a huge threat.

"Damn, the Chinese plane is coming, accelerate take-off." An angry voice came from the conning tower.

"Fighter squadrons 3 and 4, torpedo aircraft squadrons 3 and 4, attack target No. 1. The 5th and 6th squadrons of fighters, the 5th and 6th squadrons of torpedo machines, attacked target No. 2. Fighter squadrons 7 and 8, torpedo aircraft squadrons 7 and 8, attacked target No. 4. The remaining aircraft, attacking the San Diego naval base. Colonel Liu Tingsheng ordered.

"Yes, Captain!" Yes, General Liu! ”

In Colonel Liu Tingsheng's headphones, the answers of the squadron leaders came. Some even jokingly called him a general. Although, the order for promotion has not yet come down, everyone knows that this is almost a matter of ironclad.

A smile also appeared on Colonel Liu Tingsheng's face, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. He also wanted to be a general. However, it is not so easy to become a general, and it requires a lot of military exploits. In order to achieve war success, it is necessary to shoot down more American planes and destroy more American military bases and warships. It can be said that their promotion was entirely based on the disaster of the Americans.

After the order to attack was given, the entire fleet began to disperse. Under the leadership of their respective squadron leaders, an attack on the target began.

At the airport, U.S. military pilots were trying to speed up their takeoff. However, they no longer have a chance. As soon as the 3rd P-36 and the 4th P-36 took off, the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy began to drop bombs. The torpedo attack plane dropped bombs in the air 1,000 meters above the ground, and after the bomb magazine was opened, 20 50-kilogram aerial bombs fell like dumplings, and the US airfield was immediately shrouded in flames and gunsmoke. The long runway was blown out of craters, and it was no longer possible to take off and land planes.

The biggest loss is undoubtedly the capture of the neatly parked fighters. After the aerial bomb exploded, the planes were easily blown up. The shock wave blew the planes up effortlessly, as if a fallen leaf had been blown away. The flames from the explosion easily engulfed the planes. What's even worse is that before the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft attacked, the Americans were refueling these planes with fuel and ammunition, and the tankers and ammunition transporters were still parked on the tarmac, and the explosions of these tankers and ammunition transporters were even more powerful.

"Boom!" A loud explosion sounded, and an explosion occurred in a tanker truck. The oil reprinted in it burned, and the flames soared into the sky, spreading to the surrounding fighter planes. Some pilots who didn't have time to escape were even set on fire, became a fire man, and were burned alive.

"Oh God! It's a disaster. On the conning tower, an American officer watched in horror.

The next moment, though, he didn't have to worry about it anymore. Because, the conning tower is also a target for destruction by the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy. Several bombs landed on the conning tower, destroying the place.

Because they did not have to think about their own occupation and use, the bombing of these airfields by the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy was entirely aimed at destroying them. Not only the parked fighter jets will be blown up, but also the artillery shells, ammunition depots, oil depots, pilots' quarters, canteens, hangars, and maintenance workshops will all be bombed. The bombs carried by 24 torpedo planes of two squadrons may not be enough to destroy the entire airfield. However, there is a second, and even a third, batch of aircraft behind.

"Da Da Da!" An F9 fighter was firing at a U.S. P-36 fighter that was on a climb, and the powerful 30mm cannon shells easily disintegrated the clumsy fighter in the air. The pilot inside was even killed on the spot.

The P-36 fighters, which had finally taken off before the bombing of the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft, became the target of the Imperial Navy's F9 fighters. In terms of performance, the P-36 fighters were originally unable to compete with the F9 fighters of the Imperial Navy, and they also did not have any advantage in numbers, so it is conceivable what the consequences would be.

"Da Da Da!" An F9 fighter is chasing a P-36 fighter, the 12.7mm aviation machine gun on the wing is constantly firing, and the tracer bullet drags a long trajectory towards the P-36 fighter, but the P-36 fighter rushes left and right, and is able to dodge the bullet at the most critical moment every time. Despite the dangers, they were never hit.

However, because of the performance, it is obviously impossible for such a chase to last too long. Taking advantage of this opportunity, an F9 fighter has already locked on to this P-36 fighter from the other side. The 30-mm cannon in the nose opened fire, and several shells accurately hit the fighter. The powerful shell destroyed the engine in the nose and at the same time pierced the cockpit glass, killing the pilot inside.

Those pilots of the US military were technically inferior to the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy. In addition, there is also a gap in the performance of the aircraft, which makes the US pilots have to compete with the carrier-based pilots of the Imperial Navy in a very unfair environment. And the consequence of this is often that they are shot down.

"Knock knock!" Air defense positions around the airfield were also firing. Dense anti-aircraft artillery constantly fired into the air, wanting to hit those carrier-based aircraft. However, the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft appeared to be very nimble, navigating dense anti-aircraft fire networks and occasionally launching counterattacks.

"Da Da Da!" After evading the anti-aircraft fire of the American army, an F9 fighter began to strafe the air defense position with its wing aviation machine guns. Under the dense bullet fire, the American soldiers on this air defense position were slaughtered cleanly. The two anti-aircraft guns were completely unthreatening because no one was at them.

The same scenario played out at various airfields around San Diego in each Army Air Corps. Originally, each army aviation was not familiar with a whole five hundred P-36 fighters here. In their opinion, it is true that the P-36 fighter is inferior in performance to the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy. But such a large number is enough to narrow the gap between the two sides. Even if it is to exchange two P-36 fighters for one carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy, it will be cost-effective! It's a pity that the carrier-based aircraft forces of the Chinese Navy simply did not give them a fair chance to fight. Their plane was blown up on the tarmac before it even took off. This is simply a massacre for the US Army Air Corps.

Because of the surprise attack launched by the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Imperial Navy, the Americans were successfully caught by surprise. Without the preparation of the American forces, the offensive of the carrier-based aircraft units of the Imperial Navy was a great success. A large number of U.S. planes were blown up, pilots were killed, and the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft forces had completely taken air supremacy over San Diego and the surrounding area.

By the time the Torpedo attack aircraft of the Imperial Navy shelled the airfield of the US Army Air Corps, the bombing of the San Diego Naval Base by the rest of the dive bombers had already begun. The first to be attacked were the warships in the harbor. In particular, the aircraft carrier "Langley", the battleship "Washington" and the battleship "West Virginia" became the priority targets of the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft attack.

Of course, this attack is also a little more difficult. On the anti-aircraft gun emplacements on these warships, the US soldiers are already in place. In those air defense positions around the port, the US air defense troops were also waiting for the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft to attack.

"Fighters suppressed the anti-aircraft fire of the Americans, and dive bombers attacked, giving priority to the destruction of the American aircraft carriers." The commander gave the order to attack.

One fighter after another began to attack, and they used their wing aviation machine guns to strafe the US air defense positions, and even directly attacked with 30-mm machine guns, in an attempt to suppress these US air defense positions in order to create an opportunity for the dive bombers to attack. And the air defense of the US military also fought back desperately. They also know that this is a war to the death.

"Knock knock!" The US anti-aircraft guns continued to fire, an F9 fighter of the Imperial Navy was hit, the wing was broken, the fighter was planted directly in the military port, fell into scrap metal, and the pilot inside was also killed alive.

"Da-da-da-da." A fighter plane was firing at an anti-aircraft gun emplacement, and several American soldiers operating the anti-aircraft gun were torn to pieces by the dense bullets. (To be continued.) )
