Receiving the telegram of Lieutenant General Nagumo for help, Yamamoto Fifty-six's heart suddenly sank.

No one else could help him, because sending the Akagi out, Yamamoto Isoroku claimed that it was to test the effect of the modification, and he was not authorized by anyone. Now that he's in big trouble, he doesn't want outsiders to see the joke.

After thinking about it, I finally thought of the aircraft carrier Kaga, which suffered defeat in the Songhu battlefield in Shanghai last September.

On August 15, 1937, about 30 carrier-based planes of the "Kaga" attempted to attack the Jianqiao Airport, a Chinese Air Force school, but were intercepted by 21 Chinese planes.

As a result, on the first day of the battle, it suffered serious losses: 8 aircraft eight. Nine carrier-based attack planes and two 94 carrier-based bombers were shot down, and other minor and serious injuries were not counted, and this was the worst defeat since the birth of the "Kaga" aircraft carrier, which returned to the Sasebo shipyard on 26 September last year to continue major refits, and the most important thing was to update the aircraft.

However, the new aircraft has not yet been equipped, and Captain Yoshifu said that the three major sorcerers also took office last month, and they have not yet figured out their own ships.

Eight. The performance of the 9th carrier-based attack aircraft and the 94th carrier-based bombers was too backward, and they all belonged to the role of being unilaterally slaughtered on the battlefield of China, losing the face of the Great Japanese Empire, and they could not fight at all without replacement.

Thinking of his other old subordinate, Yamamoto Fifty-six hurriedly grabbed the phone and called: "Yoshitomi said three, your Kaga is urgently dispatched, and the target is the sea of Heongnam Port in North Korea, reinforce the Akagi, and rescue Vice Admiral Nagumo!" ”

There was no way, the aircraft carrier Kaga could only rush out of the harbor, with the original remnants of 31 old attack aircraft, as well as 24 Type 90 fighters, rushed to a water area that he was very familiar with.

However, whether it is familiar or not, it is difficult to say now.

The group of little devils discovered by Sun Dezhi took off from the Kaga aircraft carrier, 12 Type 90 carrier-based fighters.

To tell the truth, the little devil pilots on the Kaga aircraft carrier were very aggrieved, and everyone else had made meritorious contributions to the battlefield in China, but they were the only ones who went up and lost the battle, and more than a dozen pilots were shattered.

After returning to the Sasebo shipyard, the aircraft carrier Kaga has become the object of ridicule. Today I heard that someone was making trouble in front of their house, so these guys are full of energy.

If you want to talk about the Type 90 carrier-based fighter, it was obtained ten years ago when the little devils "copied" the Americans.

In 1928, the Boeing Company of the United States launched the P-12 fighter, mainly for the United States Army Air Force (the predecessor of the United States Air Force), and the United States Navy also changed this type of fighter to a carrier-based aircraft and called it F4B.

The little devil navy also took a fancy to the F4B, so it did not hesitate to buy two copies of the Nakajima flying plane, and the designer was Yoshida Takao who designed this biplane wooden fighter, which is the origin of the Type 90 carrier-based fighter.

However, this biplane wooden propeller aircraft, with a maximum speed of only 320 km/h, has long been outdated. The climb ability is even worse, it takes more than 4 minutes to go from flat ground to an altitude of 3,000 meters. The armament of the Type 90 carrier-based fighter is nothing more than a 7.7mm machine gun, and the firepower is insufficient.

"No. 1, No. 2, now is the time for us to attack the large aircraft group formation, and the commander-in-chief has just explained the tactics." When Sun Dezhi saw the enemy plane appear less than five kilometers in front of him, he immediately gave a loud order: "You immediately seize the commanding heights, and I will kill them directly from the center and break up their formation." ”

With the confidence of directly shooting down the enemy plane in the previous time, Sun Dezhi became much calmer, holding the joystick with both hands and keeping his eyes fixed on the mechanical rangefinder.

4,500 meters, 4,000 meters, 3,600 meters -- Sun Dezhi tiptoed a little, and the 30mm cannon roared angrily, and an enemy plane in the middle suddenly burst into flames!

At the same time as the six shells were fired, Sun Dezhi pulled the lever back violently, and the head of the landline began to climb rapidly, and with a "boom", it swept from the smoke of the explosion to the depths of the void.

Knocked out a leading plane head-on by the enemy, the little devils immediately panicked and took evasive measures one after another. On the one hand, you have to dodge the shells that come in, and on the other hand, you have to dodge the debris from the explosion of the aircraft.

As a result, the second plane, which was so close that the rope between the two wings was cut by a fragment, and the upper wing suddenly flew into the air.

Tail spin! The huge impact of the impact of the debris, coupled with the loss of balance, the second plane of the little devil went directly into a tailspin state and fell straight down!

The No. 2 wingman came out of the clouds, and just saw this scene, and immediately laughed wildly: "001 is majestic enough, kill two planes with one shot, good fight!" Look at me next, hit-"

Woo - all of it!

Wingman No. 2 made a sharp dive, just biting an enemy plane that rolled over, and was immediately smashed into a ball of fire.

Sun Dezhi adjusted the course, the No. 1 wingman was finally liberated, and the alert task was handed over to the long plane, and he also pushed the control stick and dived down, breaking an enemy plane into two!

A wooden plane is a wooden plane, and it looks like papier-mâché in front of a 30mm gun. Coupled with the fact that this kind of old-fashioned aircraft is not fast enough, the fuselage strength is not enough, and the maneuverability in the air is not good, in front of a new aircraft like the BF109, there is no way but to wait for death.

When three little devils saw their side's 12:3 absolute numerical superiority, they were actually shot down four planes in one shot, and they were so red-eyed that they didn't care about it anymore, and rushed directly towards the enemy plane, preparing to hit one and die together.

It's a pity that if you have the spirit of not being afraid of death, you may not be able to succeed.

The No. 2 wingman had just knocked out an enemy plane, and he was happy in his heart, but he didn't expect an enemy plane on the side to directly stop and crash into him.

"Number 2 immediately maneuvered to the left with scissors!"

Sun Dezhi, the long plane who was on guard, saw that the general situation was not good, and while yelling, he quickly pulled the rudder, the plane rolled down on its side, and the aircraft guns also opened fire at the same time, and finally knocked out the enemy's rudder in a dangerous way.

Sun Dezhi pulled up the nose of the plane and shouted loudly at the same time: "The little devils are too crazy, but their speed is too slow, we use a big triangle formation to surround them and destroy them all!" ”

At this moment, 6 biplanes suddenly swooped out in the clouds due west, Sun Dezhi hadn't seen who it was, the squadron leader of the Flying Tiger Squadron, Cao Mengjie's voice had already reached his ears: "Flying Dragon Squadron, don't eat alone, let us try it!" ”

Sun Dezhi saw that it was his own people who came over, and the situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant, and his side became 9:7 to occupy a numerical advantage, so he didn't talk nonsense: "You guys came at the right time, Lao Tzu didn't have many shells." The remaining seven will be handed over to you, and we will guard you on the periphery. ”

"We received an order from the deputy division commander to rush over for reinforcements nearby."

While answering questions, Cao Mengjie led the team to the core of the battlefield and took over Sun Dezhi's position. The seven remaining enemy planes saw that the momentum was not good, and they fled one after another.

It's a pity that their speed is so bad that giving up their ass to the enemy as soon as they run away is purely looking for death. Cao Mengjie led the team to chase out less than 100 kilometers, and finally killed all these enemy planes.

This is an unequal air battle, and the planes of the little devils are not at the same level in terms of performance or armament.

Even the Cao Mengjie squadron that was reinforced later, the Kawasaki 95 style was one level higher than those 90 styles just now.

Because the Kawasaki Type 95 was originally upgraded on the basis of the Type 90, plus the weapons they use now are two 20mm parallel aircraft guns, and the little devil has no way to survive except for the jade shatter.

By the end of the evening, the Kaga was late, and all that was left on the sea was the blackened aircraft carrier Akagi, and the debris of various shapes of planes floating on the sea.

It can be seen that the wooden airplane also has the advantage of being able to tell one's own people: "Where did I break jade!" ”

After slowly getting helped, Yoshitomi said that Sansa ordered his crew to board the Akagi, and found something extremely strange.

It turned out that the nearly 2,000 crew members on the Akagi were all dead. And the appearance of death is very weird, and many people are holding their necks with their hands.

The sailors were not stupid, these people were not burned, but suffocated. In other words, in the course of the previous fire, the vast majority of people were suffocated.

The strange thing is not here, but the 7 large holes that were blown out of the flight deck, which were actually "repaired" with the fragments of wooden planes!

Isn't that weird?

The people on the ship, including Lieutenant General Nagumo Zhongyi, have all been suffocated to death, and there is not a single living person, so who repaired these holes?

After careful investigation, the most severely damaged aircraft carrier Akagi was the second layer!

Because the enemy's armor-piercing shells drilled through the flight deck on the first floor and began to burn in the second hangar. So the 16 planes in stock here have been completely burned out. No, it was supposed to be caused by an explosion in the fuel tank.

The third hangar is intact and there are no signs of being burned, and two of the three-seater lifts are good, but the 16 planes inside are missing.

The artillery sights, rangefinders, and direction finders on both freeboard sides were all removed. Catapults, arresting cables, signaling equipment, searchlights, all gone.

The soldiers checked inside the fourth floor and found that it seemed to have been robbed by pirates, and everything they could have moved had been removed.

In particular, the communication equipment, compass, logbook, and charts that had just been replaced were all gone. Everything that could be unloaded in the engine room was unloaded, and everything that could not be unloaded was blown up.

In fact, it's true, someone really came up to rob it!

This person was none other than Bai Shujie himself, who personally flew the plane to board the aircraft carrier Akagi.

If it weren't for the fact that Hamhung and Wonsan were not in his hands now, he would definitely have sent a ship over to tow the Akagi aircraft carrier back!

As for the 16 Type 96 carrier-based fighters, they naturally flew back. Aircraft in this era are slow, it is not difficult to land on the deck, the main thing is to overcome psychological obstacles.

The first to eat crabs was Bai Shujie, who piloted a Kawasaki Type 95 biplane fighter and tested six takeoffs and landings at the slowest speed, and finally landed successfully on the deck.

Although he almost fell into the sea, his adventure finally succeeded, and the harvest followed.

Then he used a cable to make six pairs of simple blocking cables, and finally stopped a ninety-seven heavy bombardment piloted by Master Zhang Nianzu himself on the deck.

Zhang Nianzu, commander of the aviation division, personally piloted the plane, sent 27 pilots with excellent skills to come over on the 97 bomber, and then transported all the things that could be removed from the Akagi aircraft carrier by bomber.

It was transported by airplane, the distance was only 200 kilometers, and it took two trips in an hour.

By the time the aircraft carrier Kaga arrived here, more than nine hours had passed, and even ordinary pirates could do a lot of things, not to mention that Bai Shujie was still a high-level bandit at the level of a regular army!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
