The Japanese's shooting was very accurate, and several 20mm shells accurately hit the b-29 bomber. However, compared to the b-29 bomber, the power of the 20mm cannon was still somewhat insufficient. These few shells did not hit the b-29 bomber.

The 29 bombers caused too much damage and only reminded the B-29s that there were night fighters here.

"Night fighter! Fire flares!" Victor shouted, and immediately turned off the searchlight, and at the same time gently pulled up the nose of the aircraft and began to climb.

"Foxone! Foxone!" George, the weapons operator, shouted over the radio and pulled the launch handle.

The so-called glare bomb is actually modeled after the special flare used by the Germans. The light it emits at the moment of explosion is enough to temporarily blind people. In order not to accidentally injure other friendly aircraft nearby, Ron

It is stipulated that before launching such a weapon, nearby friendly aircraft must be warned by radio. When the staff asked Ron to determine a code name for this warning, Ron, who had a bad taste, gave it the name "U.S.

A codename that people are very familiar with from movies: "foxone".

Henglu adjusted the direction of the plane's nose, and at the same time turned on the searchlight to illuminate the B-29 in front. Just as he was preparing to continue the attack, suddenly his eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole world turned into a blazing white, and then,

He couldn't see anything anymore.

Victor pulled up the plane and climbed to an altitude of about 300 meters. At this time, machine gunner Mario shouted: "Here! There is an enemy plane at our 7 o'clock direction! He must have been stunned.

Where’s the searchlight on? Let’s move in and shoot it down!”

While controlling the plane, Victor turned his attention to Ron. When Ron nodded, he ordered: "Get all machine guns ready. Let's get closer and shoot it down!"

When the glare bomb exploded just now, Du Qiu was stretching his neck to look. As a result, just like Heng Lu, his eyes were completely white and he couldn't see anything. He only felt his eyes stinging, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

It flowed all over my face.

"Du Qiu, can you still see?" Captain Henglu's voice came to my ears.

"I can't see, I can't see anything!" Du Qiu replied desperately. From the captain's questions, he inferred that the captain must not be able to see anything either. Now the plane was flying on the dark sea, and the plane was flying on both sides.

When you are blind, you cannot judge the attitude of the plane at all. If this continues, the plane will easily fall into the sea. So is skydiving possible? Although you can't see your eyes, you can open the canopy and jump out.

It's not completely impossible. It's just... It's the end of October now, and it's already very cold. Although the sea area near Yokosuka is also affected by the Japan Warm Current, it is not on the main route of the Japan Warm Current, but the current water temperature is only

It is 13 or 14 degrees Celsius. If a person is immersed in such sea water, he will soon lose consciousness due to excessive heat loss, and will die over time. But at night like this, search and rescue personnel can evacuate the vast vast expanse of water in a short time.

The possibility of finding two skydivers at sea is almost zero. Therefore, there is almost no difference between the results of skydiving and crashing.

"This is just a strong light stimulus, and it will recover after a while! As long as we can stabilize the plane." Henglu said to Du Qiu as he stabilized the plane by feeling. However, Henglu was not sure at all whether he could stabilize the plane.

.

Victor controlled the B-29 bomber and approached the moonlight night fighter from the side. From this angle, more machine guns could be used to fire at the target. Victor noticed that the aircraft began to climb, and the climbing angle was getting higher and higher.

The bigger the plane, Victor knew that this was probably because the enemy pilots could not see the instruments and were afraid of crashing, so they unconsciously pulled the plane upwards.

"It seems that we don't have to waste the shells, the plane will crash on its own." Victor said.

Just as Victor expected, the climbing angle of the moonlight night fighter became larger and larger, almost becoming a vertical climb. The power of the moonlight night fighter was not enough to support the vertical climb of the fighter. In fact, at that time, there was no one.

This kind of aircraft can perform continuous vertical climb. During the climb, the speed of the moonlight night fighter became lower and lower, and finally the aircraft seemed to be hanging under the propeller. Then its nose tilted to the side, and it stalled directly.

It fell. Victor watched the Moonlight plunge into the dark sea. After a while, he saw a flash of fire on the sea. It was the crash and explosion of the Japanese night fighter.

"Okay, hurry up and take care of the remaining mines. It's time for us to go back." Ron said.

…

The Asahimaru transport ship is a 4,000-ton displacement transport ship affiliated with the Army. A few days ago, it set out from Borneo with five other ships, loaded with crude oil and iron ore, and headed for Japan. This small

The transport fleet does not have escort ships. This is because the Japanese simply do not have enough warships to escort the transport fleet. Secondly, it is also because these transport ships are affiliated with the army. The army is unwilling to bow its head and ask the navy for help.

They escort. The Navy has long been extremely dissatisfied with the Army's own transport ships, and of course it will not take the initiative to escort them.

It is not an easy task for a transport fleet with no escort force to survive a journey of thousands of nautical miles and through sea areas full of American submarines. This fleet has to survive.

When we were near Hainan Island, we were ambushed by a submarine, and two ships were lost. However, the Asahimaru transport ship and the other two transport ships were lucky enough to escape. But the good luck of the two ships also happened that night.

It was all used up. Later, after crossing the Taiwan Strait, the two ships were also attacked by American submarines. Only the Asahimaru was left to sail towards Japan alone. Now the port is right in front of us!

Captain Hirota stood in front of the steering wheel, looking at the faint traces of land in the distance, and smiled slightly. Hirota was not a soldier at first, but the first mate of a whaling ship. Later, after the China Incident began,

The Army felt that the Navy's transport fleet was too difficult to use, so it began to build its own transport fleet. Shipbuilding was easy, but staffing crews became an embarrassing task, because you can't expect the Navy to train people from Etajima.

It was handed over to the Army. So the Army recruited a lot of sailors from the private sector. It was at that time that Hirota became the captain of the Army's transport ship.

Today's visibility is very good, and there is no trace of power on the sea, which makes the waves particularly gentle. The slight waves gently rock the surviving transport ship, just like a mother gently rocking her child's cradle

Hirota likes this kind of weather very much, not only because this kind of weather makes people feel comfortable, but also because in such sea conditions, the lookout posts can more easily see the tracks of torpedoes launched by enemy submarines.

"Koizumi, you're not asleep? Have you noticed anything?" Hirota picked up the phone and spoke to Koizumi, who should be enjoying the sun and the wind on the observation deck at this time.

"Captain, everything is normal!" Koizumi's voice came from the receiver.

"Be careful and keep an eye on it. There's only so much road left, but don't let anyone give it to you at the door..."

Before Guangtian finished speaking, he was interrupted by a violent explosion. Guangtian felt his feet shake, then felt a pain in his head, and fainted.

The cool sea water poured on Guangtian's face, causing Guangtian to wake up slowly.

"What's going on?" Hirota asked.

"Our ship hit a mine just now." The person who spoke was the first mate Taro Hashimoto. "You were hit by a plank that fell from the explosion, and you fainted."

"How is the boat? Where are the others?" Hirota looked around and asked when he saw the lifeboat inside.

"Captain, the ship sank very quickly, and we were the only ones who had time to escape," another person replied.

"Hey, they almost died at home, but they still went to Kudanzaka. But why are there mines laid by the enemy here?" Hirota sighed. The enemy could even lay mines in such a position, which made him doubt the future of the war.

Getting more and more worried.

"Look, there's a ship coming!" Chief Mate Hashimoto's sharp eyes saw a ship heading towards them at a glance. The ship was coming out of the port. The people on the ship seemed to have noticed them and turned around.

direction, heading towards them.

"Hurry! Stop them! Keep them away! There can't be only one mine in our area." Hirota said anxiously.

Others also realized that it was indeed not far from the port. They could row the lifeboat back without rescue. The boat coming over was just a meaningless adventure.

"What can we use to send signals?" The crew member who was supporting the captain and preparing to pour him some water suddenly remembered this very troublesome problem. They don't have a radio now, how can they communicate with that ship?

"Who has a mirror? Come on!" shouted the first mate.

The sun is good at this time. If there is a mirror, you can reflect the sunlight to the opposite ship, and then shake the mirror in Morse code to send out relevant signals.

Everyone touched their pockets and shook their heads.

The first mate suddenly remembered something and took off his shirt: "Give me another piece of clothing!"

A man next to him quickly took off a coat and handed it to the first mate. The first mate took the two coats, stood up, and waved towards the boat.

The transport ship Heisei Maru had just been loaded with ammunition. After leaving the port for less than an hour, it discovered a lifeboat on the sea. From the telescope, it could be clearly seen that it was full of Japanese sailors. At first, the Heisei Maru's

The captain was also very worried that there were enemy submarines lurking nearby. So he ordered lookout posts to be set up in all directions of the ship, and then turned and headed towards the lifeboat. Well, although the lifeboat was not far from the shore,

Even though they knew how long it had been floating on the sea, the people on top still had the strength to row the boat across.

Captain Takeo Takeshita raised his binoculars and looked toward the lifeboat. He saw a man standing on the lifeboat waving two pieces of clothing to him.

"Well, I can still stand up. It seems that there is no problem. I wave it very powerfully, um...wait, it seems to be signaling to us...'mine area...danger...don't get close...'

Quick! Reverse! Quick!" Takeo Takeshi shouted.

…

Hashimoto saw that the boat was decelerating sharply, which was obviously the result of the propeller reversing at high speed. It seemed that the other party understood his signal. The speed of the boat was getting slower and slower, and at the same time, the boat was still moving rapidly.

Turn. Finally, the boat turned in another direction and began to move away from them. At this time, the lights on the boat flashed and sent a signal to them: "Thank you for the reminder, and I wish you great success!"

Hashimoto also sent greetings to them in flag language: "Wish you a safe journey!"

At this moment, the ship suddenly exploded. Then obviously, the explosion of the mine triggered a series of explosions. In just ten seconds, the ship had more than two big explosions.
Chapter completed!
