In Tanggu Port, the crew of the Kyoto Maru had just set sail and left the dock to return to Tokyo. At this time, continuous rumbling explosions were heard from the direction of urban Tianjin. The crew and the wounded soldiers on the ship stopped in surprise. The movements in his hands looked towards the city in the distance.
It has been many years since I heard such a violent explosion in Tianjin. There is no doubt that fighting is breaking out in the urban area at this time.
Who dares to go deep into the hinterland to attack Tianjin?
Since 1937, Tianjin has long been the rear area of the Japanese army in North China. It is considered one of the safest places by the Japanese. Even some wounded soldiers of the Kwantung Army were transported to Tianjin for treatment.
The Kyoto Maru is a 4,000-ton mixed passenger and cargo ship. Its mission this time is to transport a batch of looted precious cultural relics and hundreds of wounded soldiers back from Tianjin. The ship has just set sail, and the result is... At this time, the sound of fighting came from the city.
Some crew members quickly climbed up the mast and looked toward the city with binoculars.
At this time, a group of dark planes in the sky were flying from the direction of the city. The crew members who were watching were shocked, but they didn't know whether to give a warning.
Chinese planes cannot fly here.
Furthermore, even if the crew gave warning, the Kyoto Maru would only be beaten and would have no ability to resist.
As early as a few years ago, Japan had implemented a policy of all-military operations. The use of civilian ships for military purposes has become the norm. Some large-tonnage cargo ships have even been directly covered with flight decks and turned into aircraft carriers that can carry Zero fighter jets.
This kind of temporarily restructured aircraft carrier has almost zero defense power. At best, it is a flying platform that can carry fixed-wing aircraft. However, even such a junk aircraft carrier can make the Japanese Navy become a naval military power in a short period of time. In China , made great achievements in Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
Shooting the natives with guns in their hands, their sense of superiority over others made the Japanese regard themselves as God, the invincible god of war, and they also blamed others.
Who allowed you to own land that is richer and broader than ours?
If you fall behind, you should be beaten, because you don't deserve to own these lands.
However, the arrogant and arrogant Japanese had already tasted the beating after Pearl Harbor and began to feel pain.
I'm going too far, let's get back to it.
When a fleet of aircraft flying from a distance dropped bombs on the Tanggu Port Oil Depot Pier, and the oil depot terminal instantly turned into a sea of fire, the crew member who climbed up to the mast to look out finally realized that he was under enemy attack, and he frantically sounded the alarm. : "Enemy attack!!! Enemy attack!!!"
Even if you scream, it will be useless. The Kyoto Maru was a civilian ship requisitioned by the military. The total number of long and short weapons on the ship is less than ten, and they are only a few old Sanba Daigai and Bastard Hezi. , posing no threat to the aircraft at all.
The Japanese have long regarded China's Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea as their inland seas, and ships sailing in the inland seas for transportation operations do not need to be equipped with weapons at all.
There were quite a few wounded soldiers on the ship, but the wounded soldiers had no weapons.
As the war continued to expand, the Japanese army had fewer and fewer weapons in their hands, and even the most powerful Japanese army, the Kwantung Army, began to lose its combat effectiveness.
Since 1943, with the continuous development of the Pacific War, the Japanese army has continuously transferred elite divisions from the Kwantung Army to support the Pacific battlefield and Japan. A total of 13 divisions have been transferred. The newly added Kwantung Army soldiers even include some elderly people. Children and veterans were also re-recruited into the army. The Kwantung Army, which had no weapons to use, even allocated weapons from the puppet Manchukuo troops to maintain the apparent strength of the Kwantung Army.
Now, to the Kyoto Maru, they are just fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
The only way was to speed away and pray to their sun god that those damn planes didn't see them.
But is that possible?
Such a large mixed passenger ship has long fallen into the eyes of Sansheng and others, but bombing the oil warehouses and docks is their primary goal of this trip, blowing up all the Japanese fuel, preventing the Japanese planes from flying, and making the Japanese planes unable to fly. The tanks lying on the spot are equivalent to losing the fangs of the Japanese.
A wolf without fangs is just a dog with its tail pinned between its legs, and can be beaten as much as it wants.
Seeing that the Japanese oil warehouses and docks had turned into a sea of flames, Sansheng, with a sinister smile on his face, slowly drove the B-17 to catch up with the Kyoto Maru and asked: "How many bombs do we have?"
The bombardier reported: "Reporting to the captain, we still have six 200 kilogram bombs and one cluster bomb."
Sansheng has now been promoted to the captain of the First Air Combat Group of the First Corps of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, and Xie Tian himself concurrently serves as the commander of the First Corps of the Air Force.
Fortunately, Xie Tian transferred that boy Tiedan away, otherwise Sansheng would have had enough headaches.
The command cannot move.
When Sansheng heard that there were so many bombs left, he couldn't help but yelled: "Why are there so many bombs left? Damn it, you don't know how to save it for me."
The bombardier quit his job and replied to Sansheng with his eyes wide open: "Third brother, you must be conscientious when you speak. Who just kept saying hello to throw one here and one there?"
"You bastard, you still dare to talk back, don't you? You see that Japanese ship below. If your two fucking bombs can't sink it, I will definitely treat you to a big shoe-soled roast meat when you get back."
The bombardier chuckled and said: "Just the broken ship, one is enough."
"No cluster bombs allowed."
"Then it's better to have two. You have to fly more steadily."
"Attention machine gunners, I will fly lower later. You use the machine gun to call out the Japanese on the ship. The bullets can be made with great force. The Commander-in-Chief ordered that no Japanese be left alive."
The bombers roared and swooped down, and the escorting fighter jets had already taken the lead and swooped down to shoot at the wounded Japanese soldiers everywhere on the deck.
Fighters can only carry one or two aerial bombs, and they had already been thrown out in the previous raid.
The reduced flying weight makes the fighter more flexible to maneuver.
The Geneva Agreement of Shenma prohibits attacks on humanitarian relief organizations, and Shenma is not allowed to torture prisoners of war, kill or kill wounded soldiers. None of this applies to Xie Tian.
I won’t beat you when you are fucking injured, but will you come back and beat me after you recover?
Whoever wants to settle this bastard's account will be settled. I won't argue with you about that bullshit.
If you're afraid of being beaten, don't come to other countries to burn, kill, and loot.
Facing the rows of bullets that hit the deck, the wounded soldiers were terrified and began to jump into the sea one after another.
It's not too far from the shore, and you might be able to swim back by luck.
"Boom", a 200 kilogram aerial bomb hit the main deck of the Kyoto Maru, directly penetrated the two decks from top to bottom, and a violent explosion occurred.
The Kyoto Maru lost power instantly, and a large hole was blown out of the bottom and port side of the ship. Cold seawater poured into the cabin like a surge, and the hull began to tilt to one side, making a cracking sound.
The ability of civilian ships to resist attack is really too weak, not to mention that what Sansheng dropped was a 200 kilogram aerial bomb.
Once the shot hit, the bombardier laughed loudly. Sansheng took a moment to raise his thumb at the bombardier: "You should catch up with Master Zhang Xingsheng soon. I will treat you to braised pork when I get back. Keep your word." .Stop dropping bombs and go find a machine gun to shoot the fuck out of."
The bombardier looked at the only free machine gun position on the top of the plane speechlessly, and asked: "Third brother, how about you fly upside down?"
