Chapter 400: The Japanese Fleet is Destroyed
400 Japanese fleets were annihilated
However, they were surrounded by ace pilots such as Meng Jifei, Johnson, and David.
The two Japanese ace pilots were ultimately unable to escape.
He was shot down by Meng Jifei and Johnson respectively.
In this air battle, Meng Jifei shot down four Japanese fighter planes alone, the one who shot down the most Japanese fighter planes.
At the same time, the first squadron of bombers returned after completing bombing.
At this time, they had already returned to the airport, reloaded their ammunition and flew back to the battlefield.
That's the benefit of fighting on your own doorstep.
With the speed of these fighter jets, it will take less than twenty minutes to fly back to the airport.
"There is still one Japanese destroyer that has not been sunk.
Don’t let them get away.”
Meng Jifei reminded the pilots of the returning bomber squadron on the communication channel.
“Haha, I didn’t expect that.
You left some meat for us!
That's great. "
“Brothers, let’s go.
Get rid of the last Japanese destroyer and don't let him escape."
The captain of the first bomber squadron said excitedly.
"Haha, don't worry, Captain.
The devil can’t escape.”
A squadron of bombers rushed towards the Japanese destroyer that had already escaped far away.
The reason why this Japanese destroyer was able to escape so far.
It was only because the bombers and torpedo planes of the National Army were sinking the Japanese battleships Ryujo and Haruna.
There was another destroyer behind.
All the bombs and torpedoes carried have been used up.
More than half of the bombers and torpedo planes have returned.
The first group of aircraft to return, such as the Bomber Squadron, are now able to fly back and participate in the battle again.
"Captain, the Chinese bomber group."
When the Japanese on the destroyer saw a group of bombers rushing towards them on the sea in the distance.
It is also extremely desperate.
"Baga, it's the new Chinese Air Force that came to support us.
We are done, we can't get away.
Send a final farewell telegram to the military."
The Japanese captain looked as pale as death. Under such circumstances, they had no chance of turning the situation around.
Soon, a squadron of bombers flew over the Japanese destroyer.
Bombs were dropped one after another.
Soon, the Japanese destroyer was also sunk.
At this point, the Japanese naval fleet was used to blockade the Wenzhou coast and completely cut off Ye Qingshan's access to supplies from the sea.
completely annihilated!
"it's over!
We won! "
The Kuomintang pilots cried with joy and cheered loudly.
"Haha, I win.
When the news of victory in this battle spread throughout the country.
Our aviation team will surely become famous throughout the country."
"Hey, Zhao An, did you take pictures of the Japanese aircraft carriers and battleships being sunk by us?"
someone asked.
"Don't worry, I took pictures of everything."
A pilot in the bomber cabin, holding a portable camera in his hand, also responded excitedly.
He held the camera in his hand tightly, considering it more important than his own life.
Because, inside this camera.
There was the footage he had just filmed of them sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo and battleship Haruna.
He wanted to send the photos back to China, have them developed and published in newspapers.
Let the whole country see it.
That was the photo he took.
At this time, there were several small boats on the sea below, and countless Japanese soldiers struggling in the water.
These happened after the Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo and battleship Haruna were sunk.
The Japanese soldiers who luckily survived and were not drowned or frozen to death.
But, in this cold weather in December.
If they didn't get medical treatment after half a day, these devils would inevitably freeze to death.
“It all held up.
Our fleet in Guangzhou has arrived."
On the sea, a Japanese captain who was floating on the sea holding a wooden board was still encouraging the Japanese soldiers who were also floating on the sea around him.
Da da da!
As a result, several Struggle bombers swooped down from the sky the next second.
Three 7.7mm machine guns were used to fire at the surviving Japanese soldiers on the sea.
After a series of bullets were fired, there were suddenly fewer Japanese soldiers on the sea.
They all turned into corpses.
The blood dyed the surrounding sea red.
"Hahaha!
These damn Japanese devils will one day become targets.
It's such a pleasure! "
The Kuomintang pilots who dived and strafed over all shouted excitedly.
These Japanese naval soldiers are all the elite in the Japanese navy.
We must not let them go back alive.
Otherwise, we have these experienced captains and sailors here.
As long as the Japanese launch a warship, they can immediately form combat effectiveness.
These captains and sailors with rich experience in naval warfare were not trained in a short period of time.
They are even more valuable than the Japanese warships.
These Japanese captains and sailors are all high-value targets.
Before the Kuomintang pilots set off, the rules had already been set that no one could be let go.
"Damn it, these despicable Chinese people.
How could they use fighter planes to shoot at our soldiers who fell into the water?
These cowards have no humanity.”
On the sea, I saw with my own eyes a Japanese captain who was surrounded by many of his companions and was just killed by a swooping Kuomintang bomber.
At this time, he couldn't help but curse at the Kuomintang bomber that was flying away.
It’s a pity that this Japanese navy captain forgot.
Compared with their wanton slaughter of civilians, this kind of thing is nothing.
He actually has the nerve to say such things.
Soon, more than a dozen Kuomintang fighter planes passed by, diving and strafing again and again.
Soon, there were no more Japanese survivors on the sea.
They all went down to accompany their sunk aircraft carriers and battleships.
On the Kuomintang side, the pilots whose planes were shot down and fell into the water were also caught by the fishermen who came by boat.
They were rescued one by one.
Not many actually died in the battle.
"You can withdraw!"
Meng Jifei gave the order.
Soon, they evacuated the battlefield in batches.
The last group to be left behind were the 1st Bomber Squadron that had just returned.
At this time, after sinking the last Japanese destroyer, they had already flown more than 20 kilometers to the east.
"Let's go, we're heading back too!"
Just as Fu Changning, captain of the 1st Bomber Squadron, was preparing to lead his troops away.
Suddenly, a pilot called out in the communication channel: "Captain, southwest.
There are Japanese aircraft groups."
"what?"
Fu Changning's face changed and he immediately looked towards the southwest.
Sure enough, they saw a group of planes appearing and flying towards them.
high speed.
"Oh no, it must be a group of Japanese fighter planes."
Fu Changning reacted immediately.
But he couldn't figure out that this group of Japanese aircraft were fighter planes flying from the airport on the other side of the river.
In the nearby waters, there is also a Japanese aircraft carrier fleet. These are the Japanese carrier-based aircraft groups coming to support.
But this did not prevent him from knowing that they were no match for these Japanese fighter planes.
"Return, quickly!"
Immediately, the five bombers of the first squadron turned around and flew west.
And at this moment, this fleet of aircraft suddenly appeared in this airspace.
Naturally, it was the Japanese support fighter group flying from Keelung Airport.
There were a total of 16 Japanese planes and 96 fighter planes.
It’s a pity that the distance from Jilong to the coast of Wenzhou is more than 300 kilometers.
In addition, they refueled, loaded ammunition, and took off at Keelung Airport, and it took them more than an hour to arrive here.
Come now, it's all over.
The battle is over.
At this time, on the entire battlefield sea surface, the Japanese battleship Haruna had sunk and disappeared without a trace.
Only the Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo was too large and sank slowly.
At this time, one third of the huge ship still remained on the sea and had not completely sunk.
Also, the last Japanese destroyer that had just been sunk had not yet completely sunk to the bottom of the sea.
This scene was also seen clearly by the Japanese air force that arrived at this time.
"Damn it, is that our Ryujo aircraft carrier?
It was sunk.”
The Japanese commander, Major Hideyoshi Nakamura, who was leading the navigation, was looking at the hull of the Ryujo aircraft carrier still exposed on the sea surface in front of him.
First there was shock, then there was immense anger.
"We were late, and our ships, the Ryujo and the Haruna, were both sunk.
How are we going to explain this to Commander Yamamoto?"
The Japanese lieutenant colonel also knew that they were too late.
At this time, the Japanese major's face looked very ugly.
Soon, the Japanese pilots also discovered the five retreating Kuomintang bombers.
"The Chinese fighter plane.
Catch up. "
Immediately, the Japanese lieutenant colonel made gestures to the Japanese fighter pilots on his left and right sides.
He accelerated and chased after a squadron of bombers.
The flying speed of the Japanese fighter planes is much faster than that of the Kuomintang's bombers.
As they accelerated their pursuit, the distance between them and Fu Changning's squadron was getting closer and closer.
Da da da!
Soon, the two Japanese fighter planes in front began to strafing the Kuomintang bombers in front.
A Kuomintang fighter plane was shot down shortly afterwards.
"Damn, the Japs' fighter planes fly faster than us.
If we keep flying like this, we will be caught up by the Japanese fighter planes sooner or later."
Fu Changning, the captain of the First Middle School, is very clear about this.
But it would not be wise to turn back and fight the enemy to the death.
If they turned back now, they would have to rely on their remaining four bombers to face so many Japanese fighter planes.
They won’t be able to hold on for long and will be killed.
“This can’t go on like this.
We can’t go back to the airport.”
Fu Changning continued.
He was worried that their four bombers would return to Jinxi and Wanshan airports at this time.
If these Japanese fighter planes followed them, the locations of their two airports would inevitably be exposed.
That would put their airport in danger.
The Japanese must have sent an air force to bomb and destroy their airport.
“We’re not going back to the airport, we’re heading northwest.
We are going to the Yandang Mountain area.”
Squadron leader Fu Changning suggested.
"Let's go around in circles with these Japanese pilots.
Waiting for our reinforcements."
Fu Changning was still very calm at this time.
I immediately came up with a solution in my mind.
(It’s been a while since I asked for a small gift! Thank you!)
