Chapter 1206: The Terrifying Chinese
In the sky, the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy, which had completed the formation, flew overwhelmingly towards the US naval base and the army aviation base. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The Imperial Army has become accustomed to seizing air supremacy at the first time in every war. In this way, the Imperial Army, with the support of the Navy's carrier-based aircraft and air force, was able to defeat the enemy at a small cost.
A distance of one hundred kilometers would take only ten minutes for the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy. The first to be attacked was the US Navy's Subic Bay Naval Base. When the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy flew over Subic Bay, a terrible air defense siren was already sounding here. The sailors of the US Navy hurriedly ran to the anti-aircraft gun position, ready to shoot at the air to stop the attack of the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft. The same is true for other air defense positions in the base. Although, these American soldiers have also experienced many exercises. However, it is clear that exercises and real combat are not the same.
"Call the army aviation, the Chinese planes are coming, we need their fighters for support." The commander of the naval base in Subic Bay ordered loudly. Here, with only a few cruisers and destroyers of the US Navy, how can they deal with the overwhelming number of Chinese carrier-based aircraft?
"A squadron of fighters remained on alert at high altitudes, and a squadron of fighters suppressed the anti-aircraft fire of the Americans, covering the attack of dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft." The co-commander of the 9th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing gave the order to attack.
Suddenly, twelve fighters began to dive first. After discovering that the Chinese planes began to dive, the various anti-aircraft positions of the US military hurriedly opened fire, firing a dense barrage of bullets into the sky. However, the fighter is very fast and can easily get rid of the lock of the anti-aircraft gun position on the ground, so that the US air defense position is useless except for wasting a lot of ammunition.
"Stupid, stop firing for me. Those are Chinese fighters, not bombers. An American officer yelled with a frosty face.
It's just that before his roar was over, the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy launched an attack. Dive bombers began to dive and drop bombs, targeting the anti-aircraft gun emplacements around the Subic Bay Naval Base. They obviously intend to clean up these anti-aircraft firepower of the Americans, and then slowly deal with those American* warships in the military port, so that the resistance they will encounter will be much smaller.
"Woo! Woo! "A dive bomber dives at an angle of nearly ninety degrees, and the air currents disturb the sounders of the wings, emitting a high-pitched, piercing whistling. So much so that the American soldiers who had just entered the battlefield couldn't help but cover their ears and look in horror at the Chinese plane in the sky that was about to crash.
"Fools, fire up, they're going to drop bombs." An American officer commanded loudly.
But apparently it was too late, the dive bomber dropped the bomb at an altitude of less than six hundred meters from the ground, and an aerial bomb weighing 500 kg quickly fell, hitting this air defense position directly.
The huge explosion leveled this anti-aircraft position, the anti-aircraft guns were completely blown up, even the barrels were twisted, and as for those artillerymen, they had long since disappeared, and at the moment the bomb exploded, they were already torn to pieces. After the bomb exploded, the entire air defense position was wiped out.
The carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy, one after another, attacked. Combat cannons and aviation machine guns strafed the anti-aircraft positions of the American army, suppressing their anti-aircraft fire. Dive bombers took the opportunity to drop bombs and completely eliminate these anti-aircraft fire.
After heavy losses in the anti-aircraft fire of the American army, torpedo attack aircraft of the Imperial Navy also began to attack the American warships in the military port. Although, these warships have already lit a fire and can be started. However, inside the narrow military port, it was clearly impossible to hide from the fast planes.
A squad of torpedo attack planes dropped torpedoes, and four heavy torpedoes fanned out quickly towards an American cruiser. The cruiser desperately turned to avoid the torpedoes. However, it is useless at all. The speed of the torpedoes was too fast, and even though two torpedoes were avoided, two torpedoes still hit the hapless cruiser.
The torpedo exploded, and the tremendous force lifted the cruiser almost out of the water, and then fell heavily on the water. Some of the American sailors on the deck who did not stand firm were thrown directly into the water. Two heavy torpedoes, which blew off the keel of this cruiser, directly killed this cruiser. The cruiser, broken into three sections, quickly sank into the water.
The sinking of the cruiser caused panic among the other American warships in the harbor, who desperately tried to escape from the harbor. However, a squad of torpedo bombers surrendered their torpedoes directly at the entrance to the military port, and several torpedoes fired wildly, sinking the two destroyers that were trying to escape. This also frightened the other warships in the port.
Subic Bay Naval Base, under attack by carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy, is dying. However, this is not useful at all. The final result can only be completely destroyed by the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy.
At the same time, carrier-based aircraft from the Imperial Navy's aircraft carrier USS Culai Mountain bombed the U.S. military's Arbary airfield. Although by this time the US military had already taken off a dozen P-35 fighters. But the performance of this old fighter is not even as good as that of the P-36 fighter, and there is a huge generation difference with the fighter of the Imperial Navy.
When Imperial Navy fighters burst out of the clouds, they opened fire on the P-35s. Soon, these fighters were shot down one after another like firebirds. The fighter jet that fell from the sky stunned the ground crew at the airport. Many of them have seen such a scene for the first time.
Soon they won't have time to appreciate it all, though. Because the torpedo machines of the Imperial Navy, which were hordes, began to drop bombs horizontally. At an altitude of a thousand meters from the airfield, 24 torpedo planes dropped a total of 480 50-kilogram aerial bombs. The bombs destroyed entire runways, aircraft on the tarmac, hangars, ammunition depots, pilots' quarters and canteens, and oil depots.
The entire airport was shrouded in smoke and fire, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke spread far and wide.
"Knock knock!" The US air defense positions began shelling, trying to shoot down those Chinese planes. However, their actions attracted the attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy.
Fighter jets began to strafe these anti-aircraft gun emplacements, tearing them to shreds. The dive bombers dropped heavy bombs with a sharp roar, destroying all targets.
In the face of the attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy, the U.S. Army's Arbari airfield was completely destroyed, and most of the fighters were blown up at the airfield, but more than a dozen fighters were still shot down from the sky.
While the Abari airfield was desperately resisting the attack of the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft, the Clark airfield was also patronized by the heavy bombers of the Imperial Air Force. 72 H9 heavy bombers, under the cover of 72 fighters, forced their way into the airfield above this airfield. Although, dozens of US P-35 fighters are already in full standby. However, in the face of the 72 fighters of the Imperial Navy, these P-35 fighters were shot down one after another, as if an eagle had seen a chicken, and had no resistance at all.
The ground crews at Clark Airport only saw their own fighters being shot down one after another, which made them very worried.
"Oh God! The Chinese must be the devil, otherwise how could they make such a terrifying fighter? Our fighters are no match for them at all! A U.S. military ground crew member yelled in horror.
But what scares them even more is yet to come. After the Imperial Navy's fighters cleared the airspace, 72 H9 heavy bombers began to lose altitude. At an altitude of two thousand meters, they dropped bombs. Each H9 heavy bomber was capable of carrying 8 tons of bombs, and 72 H9 heavy bombers carried a total of 576 tons of bombs. There were enough bombs to raze the entire Clark airfield. The runway of the airport and various supporting facilities were all blown up. The ground staff at the airport suffered heavy casualties. Of course, those pilots were also lost. They bravely took off to meet the battle, but were shot down by Imperial Navy fighters. The pilots of carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy once again proved with facts that the Americans were simply not enough to see in front of them.
After dropping the bombs, the dozens of heavy bombers of the Imperial Air Force flew away, leaving behind the devastated Clark airfield. There were also the Americans who suffered heavy losses, as well as the frightened Filipinos.
After all, the Filipinos would certainly be able to see that the Imperial Naval Air Force and Air Force were attacking the US military bases in the Philippines with such fanfare. In the eyes of these Filipinos, the United States is the most powerful country in the world, and it can easily decide whether they live or die. However, now the Americans have been beaten so badly by the Chinese, which undoubtedly shocked them greatly.
Quezon, president of the Autonomous Government of the Philippines, witnessed the bombing of Clark Airport by the Imperial Air Force at the beginning of the bombing. The huge bombers, forming a dense formation, flew overwhelmingly, and even the sun in the sky was obscured. When these bombers dropped bombs, they razed the American military airfields to the ground. President Quezon even speculated that if the Chinese sent such bombers to bomb Manila, it was estimated that the Filipinos would suffer heavy casualties. At the thought of this, Quezon couldn't help but shudder.
"The Chinese are so powerful? Will the Americans really be able to defeat them? Quezon already had this question in his mind. (To be continued.) )
