"What's going on?" Many people around Oshima Yimasa looked in disbelief at the direction of the bay they couldn't see, murmuring.
"The war has started bad" Oshima Yoshimasa's face turned pale for a moment, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and he roared angrily: "The Chinese attacked us, damn, the war has broken out, hurry up Major Morita, Immediately order all the flying teams to dispatch, Major Nakagawa, quickly contact the third division on the front line and order them to be careful and alert; immediately send a telegram to the country and North Korea The war, the war has begun!"
Just when Oshima Yimasa hurriedly issued an order, the Raptor bombers loaded with a large number of high-explosive bombs at Lushun Port rushed towards several giant warships docked in the port without hesitation. Two of them were docked at the port. The quasi-dreadnought battleships Hanoi and Settsu were the first to bear the brunt, and received the focus of attention from the army aviation bomber group.
The butterfly effect brought by Li Han has become more and more obvious in the world. The battleship Hanoi, which was supposed to have sunk due to an explosion caused by a man-made accident in the seventh year of Taisho last year, is still docked in Port Arthur Bay intact. , but unfortunately its good luck has finally come to an end. Although it escaped a disaster due to the butterfly effect, this time, the Hanoi will not be able to escape the threat from the sky so easily.
A Raptor II bomber rushed straight towards the Hanoi battleship in the air less than thirty meters above the sea level. He had already discovered this giant battleship. However, several companions had previously targeted the battleship, and as a result, he flew in other directions to find prey.
For battleships, there is no doubt that torpedoes are one of the best methods. Unfortunately, due to the limited load-bearing capacity of the Raptor fighter, the Republic of China did not dare to bet on the one or two torpedoes that each aircraft could only carry. Therefore, most of the torpedoes they installed were high-explosive aerial bombs, and only a few A few carried some torpedoes. It was discovered that the battleship Hanoi was about to escape from the port. How could the pilot make it happen as he wished? He had already discovered a large number of explosion marks on the deck of the battleship Hanoi, which had caused some losses.
After remembering the structural drawings of several Japanese warships they had seen, he controlled the plane to hover for a while, and finally aimed at the direction closest to the ammunition depot, and dropped two aerial bombs one after another.
"Boom!"
A bomb dropped by a Raptor bomber accurately landed on the front of the battleship Hanoi near the main gun powder magazine on the starboard side. The shrapnel scattered by the explosion hit several people on the spot who were unable to escape and were struggling to put out the fire on the deck. Young Japanese sailors.
By the way, there was a small explosion first, and then a big explosion in the forward starboard main gun powder magazine. Yellow smoke poured out from between the first and second chimneys. Soon, brown smoke and flames began to rise from the forward starboard turret and each chimney. High-heat gas spewed out from the entrances, exits, portholes, and decks. The explosion caused a huge horizontal hole in the center of the main gun powder magazine on the starboard side. Sea water suddenly poured in, and the ship's hull quickly capsized to the right. The bottom of the ship, propeller and rudder on the port side were exposed out of the water. Since there was only 4 minutes from the explosion to the sinking, there was no way for effective emergency response inside the ship.
Japan¡¯s first domestically produced quasi-dreadnought-class battleship, the battleship Hanoi sank!
In the harbor, many people noticed this scene, so the morale of the party that attacked was so high that the party that was attacked could only passively rely on balloon cannons, machine guns, and rifles to fight back in an attempt to repel the attackers. At this time, the entire military port was in complete chaos. Since the attack came so suddenly, most people had no idea what was happening. They just ran to places with shelters driven by instinct. Some Japanese officers tried to organize Soldiers lined up near the pier to organize a counterattack, but soon several fighter planes rushed over and dispersed the Japanese soldiers with machine guns and small bombs.
The docks and warehouses were bombarded with bullets, and explosions occurred one after another, completely covering up people's shouts.
It was not just the port that was bombed. In fact, a group of bombers was also separated from the group to bomb the entire Lushun. Thanks to the Japanese, since they took over the fortress of Port Arthur, the Japanese have never regarded the Chinese as human beings. They even drove the original owners to live in several corners of the city like slaves.
However, since the past few years, the Republic of China has consciously dealt with the Japanese in the Liaodong Peninsula. The Republic of China government ordered citizens to evacuate the Liaodong Peninsula, blocking the possibility of Japan recruiting cheap migrant workers from the Northeast. After being enslaved for the past few years, the only people in the entire Liaodong Peninsula who still stubbornly stay there and refuse to leave are some lonely old people who cannot walk. The bomber group did not have to worry about damaging civilian residences. The order they received was to destroy as much as possible all Japanese buildings south of Lushun, whether military or otherwise, in order to reduce the siege resistance as much as possible for the brothers of the National Defense Force behind them.
Oshima Yoshimasa soon discovered that his Kanto Governor's Mansion was not safe either. Because it was too eye-catching, this building quickly attracted the attention of several aircraft. It would take multiple missiles to deal with those thick-skinned warships. High-explosive bombs that produce satisfactory results are perfect for dealing with these ground buildings. After only a few bombs exploded, the originally majestic Kanto Governor's Mansion was reduced to rubble. Thanks to his vigilance, he noticed a group of planes flying over and decisively escorted him under the escort of the guards. Next, he went to take shelter in other permanent military buildings.
And exploded in the basement. The powerful explosion almost immediately destroyed half of the building.
The roar of several types of engines gradually began to appear in the sky, and a dozen Japanese Heshi fighter jets roared over the streets, finally arriving for support. This flying team is the entire Japanese aviation force stationed on the Liaodong Peninsula. They are usually stationed twenty-five miles north of Lushun. It's not that Japan doesn't want to send more aircraft to the Liaodong Peninsula, it's just that the production cost of this thing is not low, and the Army is unwilling to spend more money on production from military expenditures. Secondly, since the Republic of China began to impose a soft blockade on the Liaodong Peninsula, although it cannot be said that all supplies have to be supplied from China, North Korea and other regions, it has also been a lot of trouble. Therefore, Japan has not deployed a large fleet of aircraft on the Liaodong Peninsula.
After discovering that the Japanese planes had arrived, the Army Aviation fighter group quickly separated a group of fighters to encircle and suppress the Japanese Heshi fighters.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the sky that was actually 100 meters high. Almost every fighter plane was chased by a sailing fighter plane whose performance completely surpassed theirs. The two sides launched a fierce battle in the air, and from time to time a fighter plane was shot down. on the ground.
Gradually, the incoming Japanese fighter jets were destroyed one after another, and the Republic of China also paid a heavy price for this. When all eighteen Heshi fighters were destroyed in the Port Arthur Fortress, the Republic of China also paid the price for this, with six fighters being destroyed or crashed due to other technical failures.
"It's over, we have lost the sky!"
When the last fighter plane refused to retreat and was shot down, Oshima Yoshimasa, who was hiding in a permanent military building somewhere in the fortress, put down the phone and muttered to himself. The city was in chaos. Hundreds of Republic of China fighter planes were roaring, pouring bombs and machine gun bullets into the fortress. Due to lack of preparation for sneak attacks from the sky and the Republic of China, they quickly lost their air supremacy and were now reduced to passively coping with condescending attacks from the sky.
Black smoke billowed in the military port, explosions occurred one after another, shrapnel fell from high altitudes, and water jets could be seen everywhere on the originally calm sea. Above the high and low water columns, fighter jets one after another flew close to the sea. However, they search for their respective targets. Once they find a suitable target, the pilot flying the plane will unceremoniously fire with all the weapons on the plane, even completely ignoring the bombs that are still falling from the sky.
If you want to ask the sailors of the British, French and other Allied navies what is the most depressing thing in battle 100% of them will probably answer that it is fighting the German submarines, because you don't know when they will be near you. , and then fires a potentially fatal torpedo while you're not prepared. However, the Japanese navy sailors obviously don't think so now. They might rather face those German submarines, because at least no matter how terrifying the underwater enemies are, they have the means to deal with them, such as depth bombs.
But for enemies in the sky, do they just rely on the balloon cannons or machine guns on the battleship? No matter how fast they were, they were still not as fast as the Army and Aviation fighter jets hovering in the sky that were constantly sprinting to clean up threats for their companions. Therefore, they could only accept this one-sided attack passively and aggrievedly.
After sinking the battleship Hanoi, several Raptor bombers had already dropped at least several thousand kilograms of bombs on the battleship Settsu, which was struggling to sail toward the deep sea outside the bay. Unfortunately, although the battleship had been scarred Tired, but they were all superficial injuries. It has thick armor plates and has not been seriously damaged so far, and is still trying to get out of the harbor.
A Raptor bomber circled around it for a while, and he kept looking for an opportunity. After seeing that the battleship Settsu had begun to move and thick smoke came out of the chimney. The pilot's eyes suddenly became serious. He found a gap near the starboard side, very close to a main gun ammunition magazine. However, the gap was too small, and there were thick armor plates nearby. If he could not hit it in one fell swoop, then once When the battleship Settsu leaves port, they will probably lose the opportunity to hunt this Japanese quasi-dreadnought ship.
There was no time for him to think too much. The pilot had bitten his lower lip at some point. After he made a shocking decision, he did not give any instructions to the comrades nearby who were covering him, but suddenly stepped forward.He increased the flight speed, drove the plane straight, and crashed into the gap he found.
"Boom!"
After a huge explosion, the violent explosion on the starboard side of the battleship Settsu stirred up a huge water column, and the entire hull was shaken.
