Today's third update, a new week has begun. I beg you to recommend votes and Sanjiang votes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sea breeze blew away the clouds above the Matawutu Sea.

Eight Nakajima E6 Type 2 water reconnaissance planes roared across the sky and were providing air reconnaissance for Ono Shisani Fleet.

Lieutenant Shinichi Abe sat in the cockpit of his reconnaissance plane and looked down at the Japanese fleet advancing in a diamond formation. The core was the huge bodies of the four King Kong-class battlecruisers, the King Kong-class, Hiei, Hashima and Kirishima, like a small island on the sea.

In fact, the King Kong-class battlecruiser has just been modified and is classified as a battleship by the Japanese Navy. However, in fact, the armor protection of the King Kong cannot meet the standards of similar battleships. Instead, it is between the armor protection level of the battleship and the battleship, which is an inappropriate and embarrassing position. The Japanese military does not want international public opinion to say that they drive battleships to bully the weak Tang Empire, so they still claim to be a battleship.

Surrounded by the four King Kong-class battle cruisers are the six heavy cruisers, the Kagu, Aoba, Yika, Myoka and Nachi, and outside are the six light cruisers, Nagara, Kinfuri, Abukuma, Kawauchi, Shentong and Naka, while the 2,000 Japanese Marines are the troops carrying the Kirishima.

The two Japanese Iranian Type 13 submarines did not submarine, but were forced to float to the Shanghai surface to follow up in order to keep up with the speed of the fleet. Although they had already followed up with the fastest speed, the two submarines still could not keep up with the speed of the fleet and were landed in the distance.

The fleet commanded by Ono Shi Sannomiya may be the fastest fleet of the Japanese Empire Navy. There were several battleships planned to participate in the operation, but considering the huge cost of the battleships dispatch and the problem of too slow speed, it was unrealistic to travel across half of the Pacific Ocean to expedition the Tang Empire, and it did not meet the conditions for a military raid. Therefore, the Japanese military gave Ono Shi Sannomiya a fleet with the fastest speed, which almost included all the fastest speed battleships recently built by the Japanese Navy.

Looking down at this huge fleet, Abe Shinichi was proud of it from the bottom of his heart and couldn't help but hum a Fuji song from his hometown.

Suddenly, he found a large area of ​​small black dots in the air ahead. He thought that a large-scale fleet of aircraft would not be possible in this area, but it should be a flock of birds living on a certain island.

But when he got closer, he realized something was wrong. He hurriedly took out his telescope and observed it carefully and immediately found that it was not a flock of birds, it was indeed an airplane, and it was an American F11C fighter that he was very familiar with. When he saw the blue-backed white eagle logo spurted on the other party's fuselage, Abe was shocked. He knew it was a symbol of the Tang Empire.

After counting it quickly, there were as many as thirty aircraft. Abe Shinichi immediately realized that it was impossible for these thirty fighter jets to suddenly appear here, but it was obviously coming to the Japanese fleet.

In this era, the radio equipment developed by the Japanese themselves was too bulky and expensive. What made the Japanese pilots most collapsed was that the radio generator installed on the plane would be damaged nine times when used ten times, so the Japanese military, which was extremely short of money, temporarily gave up the idea of ​​installing radio equipment on the plane.

There was originally a radio transmitter on Abe's reconnaissance plane, but because of frequent failures, the captain of the King Kong battlecruiser, Colonel Keinosuke Ikeda, ordered that all three carrier-based reconnaissance planes, including Abe's aircraft, would remove the radio equipment not long ago. Therefore, Abe had to hurriedly return to notify the fleet.

But Shinichi Abe had no chance at all.

While he discovered the Tang Army fighter fleet, the Tang Army fighter fleet also discovered him.

As a pilot squad, the 7th Squad of the Yanjing Air Force flew in the front and was responsible for reconnaissance and clearing out enemy aircraft that threatened the Jinling Air Force bomber group. Although they knew that the Japanese fleet did not have escort fighter jets, the other party's reconnaissance aircraft also had certain threats. In order to ensure that the Japanese fleet did not have any air defense preparations and achieve the purpose of a sudden attack, it was necessary to kill the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft as soon as possible.

Each time the Japanese fleet released eight reconnaissance aircraft, which were divided into eight directions for reconnaissance. Fortunately, the Yanjing Air Force had 300 fighter jets. In addition to leaving two teams to guard the Jinling Air Force, the other eight teams flew out to find reconnaissance aircraft that destroyed the Japanese army.

In fact, to deal with a Japanese reconnaissance plane, you only need one fighter jet or a combat team of three fighters. There is no need to dispatch an aviation team of thirty aircraft at all. It is just a killing knife.

But this is understandable. After all, it was the first time that the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire carried out a practical operation. Putting aside the essential problems of lack of practical experience, it was more of a psychological factor. In order to ensure that the first battle was to win, of course, I had to spare no effort.

The seventh team of Yanjing Aviation Team is located in an airspace of 8,000 meters, while the maximum ceiling of Abe's Nakajima E6 reconnaissance aircraft is only 5,000 meters. In terms of speed, the F11C fighter of the seventh team is also far exceeding the E6 of Nakajima.

Therefore, when the Seventh Team discovered Abe's reconnaissance plane, it immediately dived down in a combat formation.

It takes a long way to turn the turn head to make a big turn. This time allows the seventh team to get closer quickly.

Seeing the Tang army fighter jet diving from above and approaching him at high speed, Abe Shinichi was frightened for no reason. The entire Japanese aviation force had no experience in air combat since its establishment, let alone Abe Shinichi, a reconnaissance pilot.

The tight nerves made Abe Shinichi lose his calmness, and the compass couldn't understand it. Before he could turn, he was bitten by the F11C fighter jet that dived down at a speed of 500 meters per second.

Tat! Tat! Tat!

The 7.92mm air-cooled machine guns on both wings of the F11C fighter opened fire, and rows of bullets fired at Shinichi Abe's reconnaissance plane.

Although the Tang army pilots were the first to do actual combat, because Zhang Meng attached great importance to the Air Force, the Tang Dynasty Royal Air Force was able to conduct practical training in daily air exercises. They usually use rubber bullets that charge one-third of the medicine. During air confrontation, they can simulate real machine gun firing without hurting their own people and aircraft, so they are very close to practical combat.

The two F11C fighters that dived only corrected the azimuth and advancement of the shooting, and hit Abe's reconnaissance plane during the third firing.

Abe's body was quickly beaten into a hornet's nest, and his flesh and blood were flying everywhere and even his mother could not recognize it. The 6E reconnaissance plane, which had lost control, fell to the sea with its head facing downwards.

Originally, the thirty pilots of the Seventh Team had agreed before. There was a rare opportunity to fight for a reconnaissance plane. The other party would definitely not be able to escape. Each person turned to him once to experience the stimulation of shooting down the Japanese devils. As a result, the first plane No. 24 and 33 that dived down suddenly forgot. When they saw the Japanese devils, they could not stop and directly killed Shinichi Abe to death. They did not give others the chance to ravage Shinichi Abe. The two of them were immediately besieged by their teammates.

"You two wolf cubs, didn't you agree that each person would turn to him once?"

"Sorry! Sorry!"

"Miss! Mistake!"

"You two are dead!"

"Wait for everyone to go back and burst your two of them!"

"Ahem..."

Just as the other members of the Seventh Team were complaining, the other seven teams also shot down the Japanese reconnaissance planes they locked down.

The Ono Shisani fleet will release reconnaissance aircraft to patrol every two hours, and there is still an hour before the next wave of eight reconnaissance aircraft will be launched.

Obviously, the Tang army had already mastered the Japanese reconnaissance methods. One hour was enough for the bomber group of Jinling Air Force to fly over the Japanese fleet to launch a sudden attack.

At 3:17 pm, the Japanese fleet pilot ship Kawauchi light cruiser was the first to discover a large number of Tang army aircraft in the air and immediately issued an emergency alarm to the flagship King Kong.

"Damn the special high school class, didn't it mean that the Tang Empire had no aviation troops and only had a dozen trainers?"

Shi Sanno Ono had already discovered the densely pack of Tang army fighter jets and bombers in the sky from his telescope, which was obviously very different from the information he received.

"God General, what should we do?"

The subordinates looked at Ono Shi Sanno and waited for his orders.

"What else can I do? Prepare for air combat!"

Ono Shi Sandian had no intention of retreating at all. He believed that his fleet's air defense was enough to repel incoming enemy aircraft, and no one could stop him from attacking the Tang Empire.

When Ono Shisanniao issued an air defense combat order, the Japanese troops on each ship seemed a little confused. No aircraft from any country could threaten the Japanese joint fleet, which caused the Japanese Navy to despise the air defense equipment and air defense combat training of warships, so that the Japanese Navy's air defense capabilities were extremely weak.

Since the Japanese Navy rarely conducts air defense combat training on weekdays, after the order of Ono Shisanji's air combat against the air, the King Kong battle cruiser took a full ten minutes to enter the air defense combat state, while most of the other Japanese ships completed in about fifteen minutes, which is more than ten minutes slower than the air defense combat preparation time of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

And these ten minutes were enough for the fighter jets of the Tang Air Force in the sky to fly over the Japanese fleet.

The three hundred fighters of the Yanjing Air Force are divided into 100 combat teams, each of which three fighters lock on one Japanese ship and concentrate their firepower to attack the anti-aircraft artillery parts on the Japanese ship.

Accompanied by the buzzing sound of propellers, the Tang army fighter plane dived down at high speed, and the pilots aimed at the Japanese gunners at the anti-aircraft artillery position of the Japanese ship.

"Tada!Tada!"

Rows of bullets were shot down densely like rain, specializing in the attack on Japanese commanders, shooters, bullet supplyers, and firefighters, paralyzing Japanese air defense artillery, reducing the pressure on the Tang army bombers to drop bombs in groups.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was bombed like rain on each day.

Since the Japanese ship's anti-aircraft artillery are all open-air platforms, the Japanese officers and soldiers operating the anti-aircraft artillery were exposed to the strafing of Tang army aircraft, and they immediately flew with heavy casualties.

The Japanese ships, which had originally lacked air defense firepower, were shot and killed under the strafing of Tang fighter jets, making the Japanese ship's air defense firepower even weaker, and only scattered air defense artillery were fighting back.

"No. 4 anti-aircraft gun needs gunners!"

"There are two more ammunition suppliers for the No. 2 anti-aircraft gun!"

"No. 5 anti-aircraft artillery has suffered more than half of casualties!"

"No one responded to the No. 9 anti-aircraft gun!"

...

Ono Shi Minomiya was located in the bridge of the flagship King Kong battlecruiser, where Shinnomi Ono was located, he could clearly hear the reports of various air defense combat positions on the ship. As the captain, Keikosuke Ikeda learned in just five minutes that 60% of the air defense artillery of the ship had been lost. They were either killed by Tang army fighter jets or injured by the jumping sky. In short, it is an indisputable fact that they suffered heavy casualties.

In addition, the battlecruiser of the USS King Kong can be imagined, and other heavy cruisers and light cruisers have dropped even more significantly.

"God of General, our air defense forces have suffered heavy losses and it seems that they cannot stop the Tang army's air strike!"

Keikosuke Ikeda meant to retreat, but Shisannomi Ono was a stubborn person and he could not stand the defeat of the powerful Imperial Japanese Navy by a newly established small Pacific island country.

"People are drawn from other locations to fill the losses of the anti-aircraft gun positions! The bullets fired by their fighters can only kill our personnel and have no effect on our anti-aircraft guns and warships!"

When Ono Shi Sannoya insisted on his opinion, the others could not stop him and had to do so.

However, even the Japanese army who had learned to fight against air could not stop the attack of Tang army aircraft, let alone those Japanese army who had not learned to fight against air.
