Chapter 386 Return

"Boom!" A earth-shaking sound, a cloud of mushrooms with red in black soared into the sky, and could be seen from afar.

As if the earth was shaking like an earthquake, Seishiro Itagaki, who was trying to stand firm, looked at the explosion in the north and said a little lost: "It's Sasebo!"

At the same time, Yi Fuen was trying to stabilize the plane from the smoke rising from the sky. He did not expect that the explosion of the oil depot below would be so powerful.

His thunder unit only carried 4 2,000-pound bombs. This 907-kilogram bomb fell from high altitude and could penetrate thick fortifications, not to mention that the Japanese did not have too many air defense oil depots.

Sasebo is a military port, where the warships are equipped with air defense weapons, which pose a great threat to bombers. Meng Xiang naturally would not be willing to attack these warships directly. The targets of the thirty thunders flying to Sasebo were Akasaki, Anzaki, and Yokose's oil depots, as well as the ammunition depots of the former smoke and needle tail.

The loud noise just now was that Akasaki's oil depot was detonated. The explosion of the largest oil depot in Nagasaki ignited everything around. The continuous explosions continued to sound, but these explosions were much worse than the deafening sound just now. After all, this was one of the largest oil depot explosions in the Navy.

"What the hell do they want to do?" Seishiro Itagaki whispered to himself.

"Go and blow up other oil depots!" Yi Fuen, who had just stabilized and was so smoked that it was so black, broke free from the turbulent flow that soared into the sky. Cao Zida, the bomber on the plane, shouted loudly.

"Fry one more, blow one more!" Although everyone in the cabin was still scared, they could not help but shouted loudly at the excitement of igniting a big firecracker.

"Okay, that's it..." Although Yi Fuen was sweating coldly behind his back, he still smiled happily.

But before he could finish speaking, there was another loud "boom" and the plane swayed. Fortunately, everyone grabbed it and did not fall.

Cao Zida touched a big bag that came out of his forehead and said excitedly: "This place exploded again. Where is this?"

"The ammunition depot on Needou Island exploded!" Toyota Masato Takeshi, who was upset about the explosion of Akazaki's oil depot, felt a little dizzy when he heard the news. It was the location of Sasebo's largest ammunition depot.

"Where did the enemy plane come from?" he shouted.

The air defense alarm sounded in the military port, and the well-trained naval officers and soldiers began to take their place. The air defense muzzles of each warship were raised high. The warships in the Sasebo port were preparing to set sail to participate in the escort mission. They were well prepared and arranged immediately as soon as they heard the alarm. However, the bombers did not come to bomb the warships.

"It's the Pioneer Army's plane, they are bombing Nagasaki Pier!" a staff officer next to him replied.

Toyota Juntake couldn't help but feel dizzy. He knew what this meant. Tens of thousands of soldiers were crowding at the dock waiting for an expedition. If they encountered a sudden attack, they could only go to hell.

"Why am I so unlucky?" Toyota Junta felt frustrated. When he was in Qingdao, he was taken away by the Pioneer Army. Even the flagship Atsue was taken away by the Pioneer Army. He was demoted and transferred to the local area. Through the relationship between the upper class, he was about to resume. Shortly after receiving the mission of escorting the troop transport ship, the Pioneer Army's planes came to bomb again. The troop transport ship had not yet gone to sea, so the responsibility was not counted as his, but it was definitely his responsibility to be bombed by the oil depot and ammunition depot.

"Akasaki still has 50,000 tons of oil, and it's gone. There is also the ammunition from Needou Island, which has accumulated a lot of accumulation for the next step of the expedition to the Chinese Pioneer Army, but now it has become a fireworks all at once. Why am I unlucky when I meet the Pioneer Army?" Mr. Taketo sighed.

"Don't panic! The ships go to guard key areas such as oil depots and ammunition depots, organize personnel to put out the fire to prevent the spread of the fire. The fleets line up and be vigilant." Although he lamented, he still quickly issued a gift order. He thought about it and added, "Go to rescue Nagasaki!"

Sasebo's bombing was not very fierce. Although the staff were limited, the situation in Nagasaki was probably even more miserable and needed rescue. As the navy's military port, Sasebo also received the responsibility of escort and had to go there for a walk.

"I don't know how Nagasaki is now?" He arranged two destroyers to go forward and then organized defense against the air while constantly guessing.

"Drop bomb!" Hu Yibai calmly shouted.

Even if the Japanese used smoke to shield the sky above the dock, they still could not stop the bomb from pouring out.

In the smoke, ships can move in the port and escape the direct bombardment of the plane. But the dock cannot move.

The bomber's target was originally there, and at this time it was constantly bombarding according to the already set coordinate parameters.

The Japanese planes flew in the distance like swarms of bees, and the p-47n rushed up to intercept them, and then the p-38l sniped.

The Japanese aircraft were mainly old-fashioned aircraft at this time. Those Zero Warplanes were not near Nagasaki, so they were naturally not opponents of the more advanced aircraft of the Pioneer Army. One by one, they were beaten down one after another, and then more aircraft rushed up.

In the local area, as long as the falling plane was not destroyed on the spot, someone would come to rescue him after parachuting. He also had the responsibility of guards, so the Japanese who reacted from the shock were particularly fierce in counterattack.

"The Japanese still won't make progress!" Liu Cuigang smiled heartily. His p-47n just now had shot down two Japanese planes. The most important thing for the master's operation is consciousness. When Liu Cuigang's body slowly recovered, his master's consciousness made him stand out quickly. In this mission selection, he was qualified to participate.

Even if it is an honor, it is a challenge. Without a certain strength, it will only increase casualties. Therefore, the pilots participating in the battle were selected. Especially these escorted fighter pilots are all elites of the Pioneer Air Force at this time.

Just like Liu Cuigang was injured, he had a record of 11 aces in just two years. This time he bought two consecutive aircraft, with a record of 13, and he is still the number one ace in the Pioneer Air Force.

"Their level is pretty good, but the performance of the aircraft is much worse." Le Yiqin responded with a smile. His original record was 8 aircraft, and he shot down four aircraft at a time in the 815 air battle. Today's battle was the first actual battle after recovery, just like Liu Cuigang. If it weren't for their first-class performance in the exercise competition, Meng Xiang wouldn't have planned to let them do it.

The master's consciousness is stronger than that of ordinary pilots, and he quickly recorded a flight.

There were five people in the vanguard army at this time. Liu Cuigang had 13 aircraft, Liu Zhesheng had 12 aircraft, Feng Wu had 11 aircraft, Chen Ruixi had 10 aircraft, and Liang Tiancheng had 10 aircraft.

Although there are not many, there are more than 30 of those more than 5 aircraft. With the advantage of aircraft performance, hundreds of people have escaped the trouble of zero eggs. More than 300 Japanese were shot down by the Pioneer Army in the air. In addition, the planes destroyed by the airport have lost more than 500 of them in the hands of the Pioneer Army, which is also one of the reasons why the Japanese almost disappeared in front of the Pioneer Army. Even if they want to fight, there are no extra planes. Other places still need to fight, and sending them to the Pioneer Army is just a target for their novice to practice.

"It's open again!" Liu Cuigang joked easily. His body was cultivated and strengthened during treatment. With superman's first-class consciousness, with the powerful p-47n, he shot down one more time and made new contributions.

He won three consecutive goals, and his overall record rose to 14.

Liu Zhesheng behind him also followed suit. His flexibility and calmness made him overturn and avoid the attack of a Japanese Type 96 ship attack aircraft, and quickly shot down the rushing plane from behind. He reaped the second result of this battle.

Feng Wu, who has been confirmed to develop into a fighter pilot, also shot down an enemy plane and rose to 12. After Le Yiqin shot down another plane, he also entered the ranks of 10 battle results. Everyone else had one more or less earned one.

"Two shots, I also scored twice! For ten planes, I am now ace." A piece of smoke quickly came out of the p-47n that Hu Wen drove, and soared into the sky. Behind him, an enemy plane was falling spiraled. In order to realize his ace dream in his heart, Hu Wen was directly selected from the Air Force General Staff. In today's battle, he finally got what he wanted.

Regarding ace pilots, the standards of different countries are different. Even if the Americans shoot down five aircraft, they will shoot down five aircraft on the land-based and sea-based aviation teams, which will be double-produced pilots. If they shoot down fifteen aircraft, they can be considered as super ace pilots.

But in the German standards, shooting down ten is considered an ace pilot, and only a record of more than 100 aircraft is considered a super ace. This is also related to their pilots. The Germans had dozens of super aces with more than 100 aircraft in World War II, and more than 15 pilots.

The ace standard in the Pioneer Army has also been changed. The military achievements of five aircraft can only be considered elite pilots, and the results of ten aircraft are considered ace. The standards for super pilots are not as perverted as those of the Germans, but at least fifty ones are required.

Hu Wen learned about aircraft flying in the United States. According to the American standards, he was already ace, but according to the standards of the Pioneer Army, his record of eight aircraft can only be considered elites. Moreover, there are still many such elites. In today's battle, he finally shot down two aircraft and officially entered the ranks of aces. After this battle, the pilots of the Pioneer Army entered the ranks of aces reached 9. Li Guidan and Huang Xinrui also ranked among the nine aces.

There are seven or eight other elites from 8 and 9. This time, everyone has won a lot of results.

The reason why it is so easy is not because the Japanese are not strong enough, but mainly because the performance gap between the aircraft is too large.

The p-47n is the leader in the late World War II and the last of the Thunderbolt aircraft in World War II. It was specially improved for the Pacific War. It has escorted the B-29 from Saipan to Japan many times. Not to mention its weapons, its maximum speed alone reached 752 kilometers. Although high-speed navigation was prohibited in the Pioneer Army, even though its cruise speed was 483 kilometers, exceeding the maximum speed of those old Japanese aircraft.

Thunder and Lightning has always been known for its thick skin. Most of the old Japanese aircraft are 7.7mm machine guns, and lightning is basically immune to it in most cases. Once eight 12.7mm large-caliber machine guns on the lightning are fired, the Japanese aircraft will be destroyed next to each other. These Japanese guardians who are protecting the locals are still in contact with the vanguard army, and they inevitably have the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy. So in this case, almost everyone has a new record.

It was not just the p-47n that shot down the Japanese plane, but the lightning p-38l, which was the same as the strike. There were examples of the p-38 carrying more than 100 machine gun bullet holes and 5 shell holes, and the loss of 3 feet of wings still returned.

"Boom!" In a fireball, Luo Yingde looked at the enemy plane in front of him being quickly bombarded in front of the 20mm cannon of the p-38l, and couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. The second plane was won. The power of the 20mm cannon was enough to make the Japanese plane disperse as soon as they touched it. It was equipped with 4 12.7 machine guns, which made all the opponents unable to resist.

Just now, he used one-to-one interchange and achieved success in one shot. The Japanese small-caliber machine gun was tickling and tickling. He could clearly see the bullet holes on the wings, but his mount was not at all strange.

The weapons gap between generations made the Japanese fighter planes constantly shot down like dumplings, but more and more planes flocked to them. Such a long time was enough for the Japanese to fly in other nearby areas. With more enemy planes, the protective planes were a bit insufficient. Two planes immediately crossed the interception line and with the help of their companions, they got rid of the pursuit of lightning and lightning behind them.

"Crash those bombers first! Eliminate the threat from the port." The squadron leader Jiro Kameda shouted, and the plane next to him hurriedly followed. In their eyes, the bomber that had lost the cover of the escort fighter was the fat cattle and sheep, allowing the wolf pack and jackal to bite.

The two fighter jets rushed directly at the B-17e air fortress bomber group. But they did not wait to get close to fire, at least thirty large-caliber machine guns fired their way.

"Ah! No!" Jiro Kameda shouted in horror. The tangled fire snake suddenly sucked on his fuselage. Before he could parachuted, he was penetrated by two large-caliber machine gun bullets. His empty and white eyes could no longer see that his companion's fighter jet was also planting in black smoke.

The b-17e bomber formation has not disrupted the formation and is arranged in three-dimensional manner. The machine guns of dozens of bombers have formed a dense firepower network to the outside world. The two Japanese aircraft were directly beaten down by the dense firepower of the bomber group.

"Stop and continue to attack the bomber!" The Japanese still did not give up. No matter how strong the bomber's firepower was, it was easier to deal with than fighter jets. However, they came from all over the place and lacked unified command. The communicators were sometimes effective and sometimes not effective. They could only rely on a small-scale cooperation of a few people. Overall, it was difficult to break through the collective defensive firepower network of more than 60 aerial fortresses.

"The pressure is getting stronger and stronger. The bombing is about to end. You can prepare for your return!" Gu Jun looked at the time and reminded Feng San. Although he had been in action for less than an hour, the bombing was coming to an end.

"All units are paying attention and ready to return." Feng San was also paying attention to the ammunition and oil conditions of each team, as well as the number of enemy planes. When the number of enemy planes is like moths to the flames, and more and more, he needs to implement the next plan.

"These pilots are all elites of the Pioneer Army, and they must be brought back safely." Meng Xiang instructed, "The advantage of this bombing lies in the suddenness. When the Japanese are prepared, our losses will increase. Before the Japanese fully react, they must evacuate there and not be too reserved for an hour."

Although Feng San is a clone, the meaning of this sentence is also clear. If you are outside, Jun Ling will not be affected. The on-site situation is complex and changeable, and strategic deployment needs to be adjusted at any time.

Depending on the specific circumstances, you can arrange your own action plans. For this reason, Lieutenant Colonel Gu Jun was also arranged to his command plane to help him plan the action together.

"Drop all the remaining bombs and prepare to return!" Sailshen, the deputy pilot on the No. 1313 Thunderbolt bomber, turned around and shouted.

Next to him, Xiao Xianbing was still flying the sky thunder with the team. As an old pilot who flew 100,000 kilometers by Aunt Junker, the reason for being selected as a thunder bomber marshal carrying a thousand pounds of bomb this time was his stable performance. When he flew the transport plane, he also came over calmly after many bad weather. His experience in dealing with the harsh climate also added a lot of points to his successful selection.

During the previous flight, they had already achieved the result of sinking a 6,000-ton ship, but the smoke filled the air, and they could no longer determine the specific target. A sky thunder tried to drop the altitude, but was hit by an anti-aircraft artillery and dragged the black smoke to evacuate first. The sky thunder is not a ju-88 universal bomber, it can dive bombing, its advantage lies in high-altitude bombing.

According to the instructions, the bomb must be thrown away. If the targets of the port are not easy to attack, then the dock will be blown up.

"Fan Fo, how many big guys are there?" The mechanic Picka held the bulkhead and swayed to the bombing thrower Fan Haer.

"Two!" Fan Haer smiled and waved a victory gesture.

"According to the instructions of the pilot machine in front, throwing down these two powerful pills." Xiao Xianbing turned his head and said lightly.

"No problem!" Fan Haer was confident of his accuracy. Among the army artillery masters, his name of the Buddha was not for nothing. Not only because he had to chant Amitabha every time he fired a shot, but his shooting accuracy was also among the best.

The pilot machine in front of him once again sent a signal. Just as Fan Haer was about to operate, the Buddhist bead bracelet on his wrist was hung up by the operating rod beside him. The jingling sandalwood Buddhist beads rolled to the ground. Fan Haer hesitated for a moment, but then finished the operation first, and then recited Amitabha Buddha to do the last step of dropping the bomb. Two thousand-pound bombs kept falling from a high altitude.

Fan Haer slowly picked up the rolling Buddhist beads, feeling a little regretful. The bomb was thrown a little later than others, so the target must be a little biased. However, there are Japanese places below, and there will always be some results.

There was also smoke below, and it was hard to see clearly. He could not see the two bombs he had dropped falling next to a building.

A bomb fell to the mud, and except for turning over a large pit, no one was injured. Another 1,000-pound bomb fell from an altitude of more than 2,000 meters and directly penetrated the entrance of the bunker tunnel of the building.

"Boom!" The explosion flames gushed into the tunnel of the underground bunker, and cracked shrapnel flew everywhere, and the entrance to the tunnel was quickly buried.

"Hurry up, come and save people!" Several *** shouted not far away.

"What are you shouting? Didn't you see that you need help everywhere?" A major pointed to the dead bodies all over the ground and shouted fiercely. Those who shouted seemed to be soldiers, how could they panic like ordinary civilians?

"Save people quickly!" One of them saw more than a dozen soldiers following the master, and immediately grabbed his hand.

"Baga, let go of your hand!" The tsunami planned to shake off his hand, but the man's words made him froze.

"King Hirohiko Asakaguchi is below!"

Fan Haer didn't know his mistake and just landed in the place where King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace was hiding. Hearing the call of Xiao's wounded soldier back, he still had a little regret on his face.

"Return collectively! Fighters are responsible for cover!" Feng San's calm voice echoed among the planes.

The escorted fighter planes kept blocking the Japanese, and the bomber formation began to fly towards high altitude.

Whether it is the practical ceiling of the 11156 meters of the B-17e, or the p-47n and p-38l with a ceiling of more than 13,000 meters, they are not something that the Japanese old aircraft can catch up with. Even if the latest zero ceiling is only 10,000 meters, there is no need to mention the others. They can only watch the vanguard army's troop fleet flying higher and higher and farther.

When they heard that the royal family was below, everyone was in a hurry to help. The soil was quickly dug up. The passage was filled with people falling down. A group of local officials followed King Hirohiko Asakagumi to enter the bunker, and most of the Japanese generals chose to command outside.

"I found King Hirohiko Asaka Palace!" someone shouted in surprise, "He is still alive!"

After another violent explosion, the ground of the dock temporarily returned to peace, with the stench of burning corpses everywhere, and the corpses were covered with a thick layer of the ground. There were also a layer of corpses floating in the sea. The fish that came smelled the smell of blood began to bite those faces with a look of fear and helplessness. Although bombing could be avoided in the sea water, people survived shorter in the cold winter sea water. They were either drowned or frozen to death in the sea water.
