Outside the Huangpu River, warships gathered together, and the disgusting Japanese navy's rising sun flag was almost torn apart by the strong winds of China;
The Japanese military flag is not a common plaster, it is a chicken pen flag. Military flags are generally divided into two types, namely the army flag and the navy flag.
What is flying on the Japanese warship is the navy flag, which evolved from plaster patches. There is a rising sun in the middle, which emits 16 red lights. This is the sixteen-petal chrysanthemum symbolizing the royal family. The difference from the army flag is that the rising sun in the middle is to the left. , the Army’s is in the center;
The navy's warship flag is just a symbol that can be changed at any time, and can even be used to wipe one's butt in times of crisis.
The Army flag is different, it is only awarded to the Army Regiment and the Cavalry Regiment, and is awarded by the royal family;
When the flag is there, the formation of the regiment is there. When the flag is gone, the formation of the regiment is cancelled. Therefore, the Japanese Army attaches great importance to the regiment flag. Each regiment has a dedicated flag protection squadron to protect the flag.
Since the Japanese warship flags were cheap enough to be used for wiping their butts, despite the strong winds on the sea, Hasegawa Kiyoshi did not let anyone remove these flags and continued to flutter in the air over China.
Vice Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa is drinking delicious afternoon tea on the bridge. He learned this habit from John Bull's Royal Navy. Although the situation is already tense, it does not affect him from enjoying a delicious afternoon tea. .
The war was far away to him. They were a noble navy, and the Chinese had nothing to do with him.
The person drinking tea with him was Admiral Kazuo Kojima, the captain of the cruiser Izumo, the flagship of the Third Fleet. The topic between the two was naturally inseparable from the Japanese-Chinese Songhu Battle, which has become an international hot topic.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Chinese government has issued a statement of self-defense and resistance to the whole world today, but they still do not dare to directly declare war on the empire;
The Imperial Red Deer has occupied the important town of Pingjin in North China. The whole of North China is about to become the empire's meal. The cowardly Chinese people don't dare to declare war on the empire. It's sad to think about it.
I heard that the Chinese also have some aircraft. Our Izumo flagship is within the combat radius of their aircraft. Do you want to retreat to the Tsushima Strait? "
Kazuo Kojima's real intention was to persuade Vice Admiral Hase to withdraw to the open sea. After all, the two sides were now at war, and no one could guarantee that the Chinese would not attack the Third Fleet. If anything went wrong with the commander, he could not bear the responsibility. .
Hasegawa Kiyoshi shook his head disdainfully and said:
"Xiaojima-kun, you think too highly of the cowardly Chinese people. They have lost half of the country and don't dare to declare war on the empire. How can they dare to sneak attack on the noble imperial navy!
As far as I know, those pilots in China are children from rich families who have been pampered since childhood. Those aircraft are just toys to them. They dare not go into battle. Even if they go into battle under the intensive anti-aircraft firepower of our fleet, they will only serve the Imperial Navy. It's just for military merit.
I really hope they can be like warriors——"
Hasegawa Kiyoshi was speechless as if he was choked by a large piece of shit. He could hardly believe his eyes because the slap in the face came so fast!
Since Kojima Kazuo's position was exactly opposite Hasegawa Kiyoshi, he did not see the group of black dots approaching at high speed in the sky. He really thought that Commander Hasegawa was choked by a black snack that he had just swallowed. , and quickly reminded:
"Your Majesty Commander, have some tea!"
"Bageya Road, drink your mother's tea, the enemy is attacking!"
Kiyoshi Hasegawa, who had been imitating the gentlemanly demeanor of John Bull just now, finally uttered a curse word and greeted Kazuo Kojima's wife in sequence.
Because it was related to his mother's chastity, Kojima Kazuo finally took it seriously. He turned around and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
They were really afraid of what they were going to get. Just now they said that the young soldiers from China did not dare to come and attack them, but now they came and slapped them in the face!
Obviously, the Chinese people are far more sophisticated than they imagined...
Kazuo Kojima took three steps and two steps at a time and quickly rushed to the command room to sound the air defense alarm;
A piercing siren suddenly sounded on the sea, and groups of black-skinned dogs ran out of the cabin and rushed to the anti-aircraft machine gun positions in a panic...
A group of dark fighter planes high in the sky pounced on them as excitedly as an eagle seeing a chicken. The pampered and well-off Chinese rich kids that Hasegawa Kiyoshi said were flying their beloved fighter planes to their faces!
With a confident smile on his face, Sun Tonggang, the deputy captain of the Second Battalion, led 22 Northrop-2E bombers of the Second Battalion and was ordered to sneak attack the Japanese Third Fleet. They also came here in the morning, but because the clouds were too thick, they did not The Izumo, the flagship of the Third Fleet, was not found and returned without success.
The Chinese Air Force did not give up and searched for the Japanese navy in the nearby waters in the afternoon. Perhaps it was the blessings of the Chinese gods that finally allowed them to find the Japanese fleet this afternoon. After seeing the unusually large hull of the Izumo below, Later, Sun Tonggang shouted excitedly:
“Guys, there’s work to do!
The one below is the Izumo. The Ninth Squadron is with me to kill Sun Tonggang and the others will find their own targets to attack! "
After Sun Tonggang gave the order, he pushed the steering column down and dived towards the Izumo. They had all had special training in attacking ship targets before. After receiving the order to attack, Captain Xie Yu of the 9th Squadron Begin the siege of the "Izumo" according to the tactics used during training;
The eleventh and fourteenth squadrons are responsible for attacking other ships, and their feast begins...
The 7 bombers of the Ninth Squadron and Sun Tonggang rushed towards the enemy ships in three directions: east, west, north and west. The Japanese warships were frightened and fired wildly in the air. Unfortunately, they did not have specialized anti-aircraft guns. Those short-range secondary guns could not reach the bombers in the air, and the anti-aircraft guns The number of machine guns was limited and they could not form a fire network, so the aircraft in the air had nothing to do but listen to the sound and be emboldened.
According to the tactics formulated by Sun Tonggang in advance, they did not rush to drop bombs on the Izumo. Instead, they first used harassment tactics to continuously consume the Japanese artillery shells and tear through the enemy's fire network;
Sun Tonggang flew his beloved plane back and forth between the sea and the sky, as if dancing in the enemy's fire net. When a large number of Japanese artillery pieces were attracted by his plane,
Xie Yu suddenly jumped out of the clouds in the east with another plane, and dropped two large series of bombs on the Izumo. One of the bombs hit the rear of the warship, blowing away two secondary guns. The Japanese artilleryman who fired wildly from the secondary battery position was killed and injured more than a dozen people. The ship's hull was also damaged to a certain extent, and black smoke billowed out.
Sun Tonggang became even more excited when he saw the hit, and continued to command the 6 aircraft of the 9th Squadron to besiege the Izumo.
"BaGeYa Road, the Chinese people's conscience is so bad that they dare to sneak attack the navy of Imperial High School! Beat them down quickly!"
Kazuo Kojima cursed while protecting Hasegawa Kiyoshi and escaping for his life.
Lieutenant General Hasegawa Kiyoshi no longer had the calmness he had before. He was rolling and crawling inside the bridge, praying to Amaterasu to protect the Chinese bombs from falling on the bridge, otherwise he would become the first person since the war started. A vice admiral reporting to Amaterasu is really not very honorable.
Just as the ninth squadron was besieging the Izumo ship, the other two squadrons were not idle either. They were besieging other ships of the third fleet and achieved good results, damaging many ships. It was just because of a lack of luck and The low power of the aerial bombs prevented them from sinking the warship, but it also killed a large number of Japanese ship personnel.
Half an hour later, the Ninth Squadron achieved another victory and hit another explosive, killing at least 20 Japanese sailors. The Izumo's stern was severely damaged after being hit by two bombs in a row, and the deck was damaged. It was covered with corpses of Japanese sailors.
The guns on the Izumo were firing wildly at the Chinese Air Force. Unfortunately, their luck was even worse. They didn't hit a single target. They just wanted to drive away the Chinese Air Force.
The two sides have been fighting fiercely for more than an hour. More than ten ships of the Third Fleet have been injured, including the Izumo, which has been hit by three bombs. Unfortunately, the Japanese warships have too strong protection, and the Chinese Air Force does not have specialized torpedo aircraft. Therefore, although more than a dozen ships were damaged and a large number of Japanese soldiers were killed and injured, there was still a lack of luck and the fatal position of the warship was not hit, allowing Old Japanese soldier Changgu to escape.
"Deputy Captain, the 9th Squadron's aerial bombs have been used up!"
"Squadron 11 has no more aerial bombs and damaged 5 enemy ships!"
"The Fourteenth Squadron has no more aerial bombs, and it damaged 6 enemy ships, large and small!"
Seeing that all the aerial bombs had been consumed, Sun Tonggang could only give the order to return as though he had not finished yet. The Chinese Air Force's first appearance blinded the old devil Changgu and almost beat his face into a pig's head. ——To be precise, he dropped it!
"Bagya Road, turn in quickly, call for support from the aircraft carriers Kaga, Ryujo, and Hosho. Let me bombard Shencheng. We must make the Chinese people pay a bloody price!"
Hase, who almost lost his front teeth, yelled angrily at Kazuo Kojima.
