ps: Okay, ** Xiaochao made a mistake again... Chapter 1062 was uploaded but not released... I had to make it up today... I'm sorry everyone...

The Japanese fighter planes went crazy. After the Wehrmacht fighter planes appeared, they randomly dropped airborne bombs on the position. Then they rushed back to the aircraft carrier as quickly as possible, trying to prevent the Wehrmacht fighter planes from attacking the aircraft carrier.

Once there is a problem with the aircraft carrier, their fate can be imagined. And then they discovered that the primary target of these National Defense Force fighters was not their own aircraft carrier, but the Army's landing ship.

The Japanese fighter planes who discovered this problem had no choice but to rush over and try to help. Although they threw away the bombs to reduce their weight, they did not carry much ammunition because it was a bombing mission.

But they were not able to approach these transport ships as they imagined, because the fighter jets of the National Defense Force intercepted them. After experiencing air battles on the Weijiang line and in the Annan Sea, although the base camp provided certain supplements, the Japanese fighter jets still have no

More than one hundred and fifty.

Among these fighters, there are as many as ten reconnaissance planes. Another thirty are under maintenance for various reasons. In other words, there are only more than one hundred and ten fighters that can actually participate in the battle.

That's all.

"Thud, tut, tut..." After the Japanese fighter planes approached, the National Defense Force's fighter planes launched the first attack, four airborne heavy machine guns. The flying bullets tore the air at high speed, and the Japanese fighter planes that were hit exploded with bullets.

There were bullet holes the size of a fist, and several Japanese fighter planes that were hit exploded into a ball of fireworks on the spot and tragically fell down in the wind...

This batch of navy fighter planes are not only equipped with H-type heavy machine guns, but even the ammunition is the latest tungsten core armor-piercing incendiary bomb developed by the National Defense Forces Research Institute.

This kind of ammunition was developed by the National Defense Forces Research Institute based on the continuous strengthening of the armor of Japanese fighter aircraft reported by Gao Zhihang. In fact, steel core bullets and armor-piercing incendiary bombs were developed very early.

But the two were not combined at the time. Even the Mauser 13.2 mm anti-tank rifle developed by the Germans during World War I was used separately.

At that time, the standard equipment of the Mauser 13.2 mm anti-tank rifle was steel core armor-piercing bullets and armor-piercing incendiary bullets.

After General Gao Zhihang strengthened the protection of Japanese fighter planes, researchers at the National Defense Forces Research Institute began to consider how to deal with it. The earliest proposed solution was to strengthen the 20mm caliber cannon to deal with Japanese fighter planes.

However, if it carries a machine gun, the weight of the aircraft will increase a lot. Moreover, the ammunition carried is not as much as that of the H-type heavy machine gun, so researchers began to turn their attention to armor-piercing ammunition.

After many tests and modifications, this type of ammunition that combined a tungsten core with an armor-piercing combustion function was developed. It is specially used for aviation operations, and this is the first time it has been distributed to troops for actual combat.

"Boom!!" In terms of actual combat effects, this ammunition is definitely worthy of the high cost of developing and manufacturing it. As long as any Japanese fighter plane is hit, the only outcome will be to be ignited and then fall.

They didn't even have the strength to fight back. In the past, even if the Japanese fighter planes were hit, as long as it wasn't a vital part, they could still struggle for a while. They could even make an emergency landing if conditions allowed.

But now, they don't have this chance. This newly developed airborne machine gun bullet not only guarantees its own power in terms of armor-breaking, but also shows its power in destruction.

Armor-piercing incendiary bombs are warheads wrapped with a layer of tungsten core. This kind of warhead is evenly coated with aluminum powder and magnesium powder, and then wrapped with a layer of bullet jacket. When the warhead collides with the fighter at high speed

, the outer bullet jacket ruptures and shatters the aircraft's armor, while the magnesium powder and aluminum powder inside will burn instantly under high-speed impact.

Finally, if the bullet jacket wrapped with the tungsten core is broken, the extremely penetrating tungsten core will directly penetrate all possible protections of the fighter aircraft, and the burning aluminum powder and magnesium powder will unceremoniously ignite the interior of the fighter aircraft.

!

The inside of the fighter plane burned. Then the fate of this fighter plane was determined. Especially this kind of burning was caused by aluminum powder and magnesium powder, which would directly melt the steel. And then...

"Boom!!" A Japanese fighter plane burst into flames after being hit, and the flames quickly spread to the fuel tanks and ammunition boxes. In the end, the entire fighter plane exploded and disintegrated directly in the air.

The Japanese pilots couldn't even parachute, so they were blown to pieces along with the fighter planes.

"Malu Yero! Annihilate them! Annihilate them!!" Captain Fujioka Rin, who was commanding the battle in the air, kept roaring in the fighter plane like crazy, regardless of whether the pilots below could hear his instructions.

But the Japanese pilots are now fighting very reluctantly. Before, they first experienced a fight with the National Defense Force War Eagles on the Weijiang River, and then had a life-and-death battle in the Annan Sea.

In these two battles, the Japanese army did not take advantage. On the contrary, their losses were not small. At the same time, Yamamoto Isoroku kept asking them to be in a state of combat readiness on the way to Manila Bay. Therefore, these pilots simply

Not much time to rest.

Fatigue led to laziness. Having just experienced more than an hour of high-intensity bombing, it can be said that the Japanese pilots have reached the brink of collapse. What they need most now is rest.

Of course, some Japanese pilots can take a permanent rest. The Navy's sea eagles will send them to hell to enjoy a permanent rest.

"Evade! Avoid!!" Those Japanese fighter planes had a hard time, and the Japanese Army's landing ships were even more troublesome. Without the protection of the cruisers, their huge hulls were the biggest targets.

Although the pilots on the ship tried their best to avoid the Wehrmacht bombers, they still could not completely avoid the bombs...

"Immediately put all the small ships off the ship, and everyone will use the small ships to attack the tidal flats!" As the commander of the Japanese army, Yamashita Tomofumi quickly analyzed the situation facing the Japanese army.

He needed to immediately start using the small boats on the landing ship to carry out landing operations. Otherwise, it would definitely be too late for the landing ship to sail to a fixed area and then log in as planned.

"Chirp...boom!!" A mace-type heavy-duty rocket-propelled bomb accurately hit a transport ship of the Japanese Army. The bomb penetrated the battleship overtime with the help of the bomber's dive throwing force and rocket boosting force.

Then a violent explosion sounded on the sea, and the transport ship was directly blown into two pieces in the explosion. The corpses of countless Japanese soldiers were flying on the sea. There were cries, screams and explosions.

piece.

The Japanese transport ship that was broken into two pieces sank rapidly towards the seabed. At the same time, the vortex caused by the sinking ship continued to suck those who had just been put down into the vortex. The Japanese soldiers did not even have time to scream.

Corpses floating in the sea...

"Quick! Start landing immediately! Quick!!" Yamashita Fengwen shouted at the top of his lungs. The Japanese officers also knew the seriousness of the problem and started to put down the small boats on the landing ship in an attempt to start.

Conduct landing operations on the tidal flats.

What Yamashita Fengwen didn't know was that the Tiger Roars were being assembled at the other end of the tidal flat, facing Yamashita Fengwen's small boat unit.

"One round, change positions immediately after the launch!" The commander next to Tiger Roar looked at his watch, and then used a telescope to observe the Japanese small boat but did not issue a launch order.

These tigers have just arrived here from Manila. The disassembly of the tigers gives it good mobility. Therefore, these tigers can be transported here quickly and assembled.

Tiger Roar's rockets are even simpler. Basically, a soldier can carry two rockets for transportation. Many big families in Manila were wiped out, and their destruction left a lot of assets.

A large number of cattle are one of these assets. These cattle have now been requisitioned by the Nanyang Military Division and are used to pull artillery shells to the positions.

Many carts were also temporarily built, all of which were used to transport artillery shells to the positions.

"Chirp...boom!!" This mace-type heavy bomb exploded right next to Yamashita Fengfumi's ship. Although it did not directly hit the transport ship, the huge waves and impact caused by the explosion still made the transport ship shake uncontrollably.

Many Japanese soldiers on the ship screamed and fell from the transport ship into the sea. At this time, it was obviously dangerous to fall into the sea.

Yamamoto Isoroku was very anxious about the current battle situation, but he had no choice but to do anything. His fighter jet was dragged over the tidal flats by the fighter jets of the National Defense Forces.

Although the cruiser force wanted to rush to the transport ships as aviation escorts, they were unable to do so. The aircraft carriers also needed escorts. It was impossible for Yamamoto Isoroku to send all the cruisers to protect the transport ships.

"Hold on... As long as we hold on now..." Yamamoto Isoroku was muttering to himself. He stared closely at the bridge window and watched the battle outside.

What the Japanese army needs most now is support. As long as the Army's landing is successful, half of the Navy's mission will be completed. At that time, they can completely dock and let the Army occupy the airport to ensure the temporary takeoff and landing of Navy fighters.

By then, when the National Defense Forces see that they are unable to prevent the Japanese troops from landing, they will naturally retreat. Otherwise, they will be greeted by a counterattack by the Japanese troops after they recover.

"Chirp...boom!!" Another Japanese army transport ship was directly hit. The bomb penetrated the deck and exploded in the ship's hull. The entire transport ship was directly blown into two pieces. The small boats around the transport ship were not hit by

The debris splashed by the explosion was absorbed by the sinking ship due to the explosion.

Manila Bay has been dyed bloody at this time, and countless Japanese soldiers are constantly wailing and screaming on the sea. However, those Japanese soldiers who have boarded the boats do not care about rescuing those who have fallen into the water. Their current task is to

Land on the beach as quickly as possible.

Those JNA fighter planes in the sky originally carried little fuel and ammunition. After a short period of high-intensity combat, they had reached the end of their strength.

Fortunately, the second echelon of HNA's fighter jets of the National Defense Force arrived at this time, and those fighter jets of the National Defense Force that were running low on fuel and ammunition also chose to return home to replenish fuel and ammunition.

The Japanese army was able to take a breather, and a large number of fighter planes returned to the Japanese aircraft carrier and began to replenish ammunition and fuel. In order to replenish ammunition and fuel for the fighters as soon as possible, the chief of staff of the Combined Fleet chose to ask the aircraft carrier ground crew to send fuel and ammunition to the deck.

Replenish as soon as possible.

At this time, several Wehrmacht bombers suddenly appeared over these aircraft carriers, catching all the Japanese troops off guard. No one noticed when these bombers came, they came so suddenly and so fast.

"Chirp...Boom! Boom! Boom..." These fighter jets dropped their mace-type heavy bombs extremely quickly, and then flew away without even looking.

And the damage they caused was terrible. Two of these mace-type heavy bombs hit the deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier. At this time, the aircraft carrier deck was filled with a large amount of ammunition and fuel, and after the bomb hit, flames and explosions suddenly

The entire aircraft carrier was paralyzed.

The most terrifying thing was that the fighter jets and ground crews who had just landed on the aircraft carrier were instantly engulfed by explosions and fire. The violent explosion even threw the aerial bombs high on the deck, and some of the bombs actually fell on the escorting cruiser next to the aircraft carrier.

and battleships, causing ripple damage.

"Boom boom boom..." There were explosions one after another, and the corners of Yamamoto Isoroku's eyes kept twitching. The Japanese naval officers on the battleships ordered the ships to stop their losses with livid faces. Some of the Japanese fighter planes that had not landed wanted to

They wanted to pursue these Wehrmacht troops, but on the one hand they found that they were low on fuel and on the other hand they didn't have much ammunition.

"Let Yamashita Fengfumi speed up the landing. I only have this one chance now! No matter how much he pays, I must occupy the Manila port and airport immediately! Now! Immediately!!" Yamamoto Isoroku ordered almost in a roar.

After the telegraph officers responded loudly, they immediately sent a message to Yamashita Fengfumi's ship.

"Quick! Stop lowering the small boats, and those that have already been lowered will start landing immediately. The other landing ships will immediately move to the predetermined area. After arriving, the small boats below will immediately start landing operations!" Yamashita Fengwen pulled out his command knife with a cry and roared loudly.

: "Gentlemen! The fate of the empire is at stake here! Gentlemen, follow me to kill the enemy!!"

Why didn't Yamashita Fengfumi want to complete the landing as soon as possible?! But first of all, these landing ships did not arrive at the scheduled location. Secondly, due to the bombing of the National Defense Force, a large number of small boats were knocked over by the shock wave or knocked off course.

It takes time to adjust all these, and what the Japanese army lacks most now is time. They must complete the landing operation as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the army's troops are lost here, the navy will be unable to fight again.

The high-intensity air battle in the Annan area has consumed a large amount of Japanese ammunition, fuel and energy. If the time here is prolonged, the Japanese Navy will have no choice but to evacuate to Thailand as soon as possible to preserve its strength.

There is no way, they no longer have fuel and ammunition to support them in a pursuit battle. Unless they can capture the Philippines or withdraw to Thailand, ships without fuel will be no different from steel coffins at sea.

"Let them start! Show the Japanese some fireworks..." On the position behind the beach, Johnson, who had already discovered that the Japanese landing ships and small boats were beginning to enter the range, ordered with a sneer.

"yes!!"

"Ready... release!!" Zeng Le, the commander of the First Artillery Division of the Nanyang Military Division, personally went into battle, his face flushed with excitement and he roared loudly.

As he roared, a scream of "swish, swish..." was heard from the position. Countless streams of fire were seen dragging their tail flames towards the Japanese landing ship on the sea.

"Boom, boom, boom..." After a while, crazy explosions suddenly rang out. The sea surface was suddenly dyed red with blood. Broken corpses, mutilated hands and feet and parts of the ships surged with the blasted waves.

Flying high into the sky, but then sinking to the bottom of the sea...

In the past, so much blood would inevitably attract bloodthirsty animals such as sharks. However, today there is not even a shadow of a shark on the sea.
To be continued...
