Without the protection of the air force, warships at sea are living targets.

Although the Izumo has a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft artillery and other air defense weapons.

However, without the protection of the Air Force, it is still impossible to escape the fate of being sunk.

Therefore, escaping is the wisest choice at this time.

Captain Wang drove the boat, broke out from the mines, and then turned to the northwest.

Although it is very likely to encounter other Japanese warships in this position, it will be even more dangerous to go east.

Because the Japanese plane came from the East.

The Dragon Boat Festival speculated that there should be an aircraft carrier formation of Japanese devils at sea.

So it can be seen that at that time, the Japanese weapons and equipment were indeed several streets higher than China. The Japanese aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft were able to challenge the United States.

Although the Type 96 carrier-based fighter is slightly inferior to the Zero fighter designed 40 years later, it still performed well in the Battle of Shanghai.

On September 5, 1937, two Type 96 fights with the Chinese Air Force Hawk three times, and the Japanese army claims to shoot down three Chinese fighter jets.

On December 2, 1937, a team of 96-style Russian-made I-16s led by Nanxiang Maozhang shot down the ten Russian-made I-16s without any loss.

On April 28, 1938, 28 Type 96 and 18 96 land attack bombers went to bomb Wuhan. The Chinese Air Force and the Soviet Air Force aid to China stepped forward to meet the enemy. The Japanese army claimed to shoot down 51 and lost 4 of them.

Although China later claimed that it would shoot down 21 and lose 12 fighter jets, it was obvious that both sides were exaggerating the results of the battle.

However, this indirectly shows that the Type 96 carrier-based fighter is definitely a carrier-based fighter with superior performance.

So when Dragon Boat Festival saw the fighter jets roaring from afar, they began to frown slightly.

Because although this type of fighter is nothing in modern times, in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, China did not have a fighter jet that could completely suppress the Japanese Type 96 fighter jet, and was even much inferior.

"What's wrong with the group?"

Xie Jinyuan saw the frowning of Dragon Boat Festival.

Dragon Boat Festival rarely frowns, but every frown is a battle of life and death.

"It's okay, isn't it just a twelve Japanese Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets!"

The soldiers believed it because the Dragon Boat Festival was not concerned.

But Xie Jinyuan is not a fool. Seeing Dragon Boat Festival frowning and then saying such words, it must be that the Japanese plane was not easy to deal with.

Although Xie Jinyuan's troops were in front of him, he had heard of a new fighter jet from the Japanese.

An unprecedented pressure came, but at this moment, a bang explosion came, and it turned out that the Japanese supply ship hit the mines it laid down while chasing the Izumo.

The hull broke down in a continuous explosion and shock, and then sank within a short while.

"Look, the Japanese were blown up by their own mines."

"Hahaha, I deserve it. Grandma's still want to chase us?"

The soldiers were excited and were surrounded and blocked by the Japanese, and finally raised their eyebrows.

But they didn't know that everything was done deliberately by Dragon Boat Festival.

He knew that the Japanese had suffered such huge losses and would not let him go easily. Therefore, the opening of the mine formation was set at the opposite position of the Japanese supply ship.

If the Japanese want to chase, they must pass through the mine formation they set up.

If the Japanese in the water were still there, they might have opened a safe passage for the supply ship.

But unfortunately, the Japanese in the water were either eaten by sharks or scared to go into the deep sea and drowned.

Anyway, all the Japanese will not die well.

The Japanese supply ship ventured through the minefield, but who knew that it was just that, a wave hit and a mine was sinking into the sea.

The Japanese on the boat did not see it, so when the mines floated up again, they happened to hit the middle of the Japanese's bottom.

So after an explosion, the Japanese supply ship broke and sank.

Of course, the crisis of Dragon Boat Festival and others has not been resolved at this time.

The Japanese's Type 96 carrier-based aircraft is approaching quickly, and the Izumo may be unable to escape.

"There are all, and we are ready to fight. The Japanese's Type 96 carrier-based aircraft have nothing to do with fear. There are only two 7.7mm Type 97 machine guns on the fighter.

So far, I have only seen six bombers. Even if the bomb falls on the deck, don’t be afraid. The Izumo cannot sink. Today we will create a miracle. Use ship-based weapons to defeat a Japanese flying brigade!”

The roar of Dragon Boat Festival echoed again throughout the Izumo.

The soldiers on the Izumo took action quickly, sounded the air defense alarm, and moved all the air defense weapons.

The Dragon Boat Festival stands on a high place and looks to the east.

At this time, the sound of the Japanese aircraft engine became more and more harsh. The ultrasonic vibration could make a person crazy.

The Dragon Boat Festival stared at the other party with no confidence. This may be the battle he was most unsure of.

The Japanese Type 96 carrier-based aircraft was very advanced at the time and was the first domestically produced all-metal single-wing fighter of the Japanese Navy.

In 1936, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' design defeated Nakajima flight aircraft and won the bid, and then replaced Nakajima Type 95 carrier-based fighter jets as the main fighter jets of the Japanese aircraft carriers. This aircraft can also be called the predecessor of the Zero carrier-based fighter jet.

Type Zero, that is the nightmare of the Americans, the demon in the eyes of the Allies.

Some people once joked that it was Zero, which gave the Japanese the confidence to go to war with the United States.

Therefore, as the predecessor of Type Zero, the performance of Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets will naturally not be much worse. Even in the early days of the Pacific War, Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets were still the main force of the Japanese army and created one brilliant record after another.

In addition, the Japanese's Type 96 land attack aircraft also had a brilliant record.

It not only played a key role in the war against China, but also served as the vanguard of the Japanese army's attack on the Nanyang after the outbreak of the Pacific War.

The Type 96 road attack aircraft took off from Taiwan Bend and violently bombed ground targets in the Philippines and Malaya. The Type 96 land attack took off from French Indochina sank the British counterattack battlecruiser and the Prince of Wales battleship deployed by the British in the Far East.

At that time, because the British army was used to the British slow torpedo attack aircraft, they suddenly saw the single-wing Type 96 land attack pounced on it. They felt that it was Feng Chi and Di Zhi. They were immediately panicked, and as a result, they were easily sunk by the 96 land attack and two main battleships.

Therefore, in the early stages of the Pacific War, the Japanese's Type 96 land attack also played a significant role, causing significant losses to the British, American and Dutch troops.

So when faced with such a fleet of twelve Japanese fighters, Dragon Boat Festival even predicted the future of the Izumo.
