High-tech Warlords Volume 1 (731) Comfort Attack

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The first to take off were 36 "Tianshark" attack aircraft.  Subsequently, 19 Javelin attack aircraft took off, all carrying heavy bombs.  When this fleet formed over the aircraft carrier, 10 "Feng Lei" heavy-duty fighter jets and 15 "Tenzama" all-weather fighter jets took off one after another and flew to Yakushima.  All of these aircraft were slow and cumbersome, disproportionate to their power.  The aircraft used on the aircraft carrier must first be strong and durable. They must be stronger than the army's aircraft in order to withstand the emergency braking force when landing on the deck.

    As soon as the moon set in the west, a ray of morning light came out from the east, dyeing the sky golden yellow.  Looking from the stern of the aircraft carrier, the low profile of the destroyer is faintly visible.  On the "Xuanyuan" aircraft carrier, other fighter jets were still taking off.  Six fighter jets (without bombs) took off and flew towards Kagoshima.  The morning light is getting stronger and stronger, and dawn has arrived.

    Six minutes ago, the last plane left the deck.  Under the clouds, Kagoshima is far away.  Several people reported seeing several airplanes emerging from the clouds over Kagoshima.  A wisp of smoke curled up from the island, gathering thicker and thicker in the sky, followed immediately by another wisp.  Then there was a dull explosion: the cruiser began its bombardment.  People looked towards Kagoshima curiously.  Suddenly, they turned their heads and heard the pilot shouting, as if the aircraft carrier was in the middle of an air battle.

    I don¡¯t know who first suggested turning up the volume, listening to the radio calls between planes, and turning on the ship¡¯s broadcast loudspeaker.  Psychologically speaking, this was an unusually good idea in World War II.  From then on, although the air battle was carried out far away from the aircraft carrier, the crew could still watch the battle.  They watch the game much like radio listeners listen to sports reports.  However, listening to live air combat is not like listening to a show or exercise, this is combat with live ammunition!  There were planes crashing and there were casualties. It sounded more thrilling than any boxing or football match.

    Pilots are in close radiotelephone contact with each other both in and out of combat.  Broadcasting the live reconnaissance and patrol operations verbatim often makes people feel bored.  However, once the enemy is discovered, it is very convenient to broadcast.  This truth is not difficult to understand.  Pilots basically communicate with each other in code words.  Each aircraft is called by a name.  For example: "Hey, Fox, I'm a wild cat and I found a Japanese plane at a distance of three thousand meters." Actually.  In addition to addressing the pilot in code words.  Also using a jargon that is incomprehensible to outsiders.  When the battle was fierce, they didn't care about any code words or jargon, and just called them by their names, "Qiao. Get out of the way! This fat baby is mine Hit, this bad guy!" "Xuanyuan"  The people on board heard the shouts, and even heard the sound of bullets hitting the plane, as well as the "click-click" sound of machine guns and the booming explosion.

    People on the deck of the aircraft carrier heard it very clearly.  Their eyes were fixed on the bombing of Kagoshima.  My ears listened to the live broadcast of the battle over Yakushima.  People in the boiler room and engine room also heard it clearly.  When a modern warship is sailing, the people working in the engine room generally have nothing else to do except looking at the instruments, levels, and turning the control panel.  Chinese people are very knowledgeable in listening to radio broadcasts, and listening to radio has become a part of their lives.  Mechanics and drivers can listen to radio programs while working and stay focused without squinting.  Waiters working in the kitchen and pantry could also hear the air combat going on on Yakushima.  Whenever they heard that a Japanese plane was shot down or a Japanese warship was hit, they laughed.  Showing a mouth of white teeth; when the pilots were silent for a moment and could only hear the sound of fighting, they always turned their big round eyes anxiously.  In the sealed room farthest from the deck, there are the security team and the fire brigade.  These men had no fighting position as long as the ship was not damaged.  There is nothing to do but wait.  They gathered in small groups in a sealed room, with lights as dazzling as on death row, and wore special protective hats.  Wearing an asbestos suit, he looks like a robot.  They sat and lined up on the floor along the bulkhead.  I was also listening to the sounds of pilots participating in the war coming into the bottom of the ship from above the reefs 200 kilometers away.

    The six fighter jets sent by the "Xuanyuan" aircraft carrier to Kagoshima were tasked with containing the enemy. At the same time, the cruiser launched an artillery attack.  The sudden attack caught the Japanese army by surprise.  As soon as the fighter jets arrived, they first strafed eight or nine Japanese patrol boats anchored at the anchorage, and then strafed the airport.  The Japanese were beaten into panic and fled in all directions.  Fighters strafed back and forth over the airport. The Japanese struggled desperately and took off several "Gale" fighter jets.  The anti-aircraft gunners on the island also entered the gun position and started shooting in the air.  The ground shook beneath their feet: the cruiser's guns were firing.  Thick smoke rose into the sky.  All facilities were suddenly gone, and all warships were destroyed.  In the morning, the "Xuanyuan" sent eight more "Tianxia" aircraft to end the battle.  But when they arrived, they found nothing.  "They bombed everything that seemed to be standing.things on ?.  "Four Gale aircraft were shot down. China did not lose a single aircraft over Kagoshima. Generally speaking, the battle over the Japanese archipelago went smoothly. This battle was only for bombing Japanese bases, not for  Landing on these islands.

    The Second Task Force (commanded by Rear Admiral Fu Renxuan) did not encounter much Japanese resistance during the attack, but it fought a fierce battle with the storm.  The aircraft dispatched by the aircraft carrier "Cai Feng" encountered a storm on its way to the attack target.  A gust of wind came, and in an instant, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, the wind howled and the tsunami, lightning and thunder, and then there was a heavy rain.  The fleet operates in small groups and tries to keep in touch with each other.  After the storm passed, the flying teams reunited.  As we approached Tanegashima, we encountered another storm that was more violent than the last one.  Over the coast of Japan, there are often thunderstorms, which come quickly and violently and come and go erratically.  The fleet of "Cai Feng" was separated again in the violent storm.  Some planes flew at low altitude against the waves; some flew up to an altitude of 4,000 meters; and some were caught in a thunderstorm and flew blindly.  As a result, six torpedo planes never returned.  In the end, Kagoshima was razed to the ground as originally planned.  However, these targets were far less dramatic than those attacked by Regulus aircraft.

    The "Xuanyuan" cruised near the Kagoshima Islands for a whole morning.  At 12 noon, the cruiser and destroyer merged with the aircraft carrier, and the task force set sail for Dalian Port.  The officers and soldiers of the "Xuanyuan" felt that this victory was easy, so they were all relaxed and contented.

    At 13:00, a group of five Japanese bombers, arranged in a "herringbone" shape, emerged from the clouds 2,000 meters above the right front of the "Xuanyuan".  The anti-aircraft guns of each ship opened fire at the same time, and shells were seen flying.  Dancing across the sky, the fierce artillery fire built a pyramid towering into the sky.  The officers and soldiers on the "Xuanyuan" saw three Japanese planes immediately shattered into pieces.  The gunners were so excited during the actual battle that they forgot all about the essentials of shooting at a towed target.  The fighter jets escorting in the air were unable to go to the front to meet the enemy due to the firepower of their own fleet's anti-aircraft guns.  The deck of the "Xuanyuan" began to tilt left and right, sailing in a serpentine shape.  The escort ships also followed and yawed left and right.  The officers and soldiers of the "Xuanyuan" heard the sound of the Japanese aircraft's motor.  See bombs falling from the air like glittering balloons.  A forty-five-meter-high water column rose around "Xuanyuan".

    Several bombs dropped by the Japanese fell into the sea.  The bomb that landed closest to the ship seriously injured a first mate, and also burst an oil pipe and started a fire. Firefighters wearing asbestos suits immediately ran to the deck.

    After dropping the bomb, the Japanese plane flew over 500 meters above the aircraft carrier.  Suddenly, the leading Japanese plane made a left turn.  Then he made an "S" shape, flew over the aircraft carrier's bow again, circled to the stern, and swooped down. Several machine guns on the aircraft spit out tongues of fire.  The plane was seen swooping towards the aircraft carrier despite intensive artillery fire.  The plane was hit by several bullets and fell down like a stone.  At this moment, everyone who saw the bolide flying down was stunned. They all thought that this was a "suicide plane."

    Since the beginning of the war, there have been legends about Japan¡¯s ¡°suicide planes¡±.  The so-called "suicide plane" means that once the plane takes off, it will never return.  The pilot crashed his plane into the attack target and committed suicide.  These pilots are organized into special flying squadrons.  At the beginning of the war, there were no such special flying squadrons in the Japanese Air Force.  But there are also cases where individual pilots are determined to "fight to the death."  Some of them did this because they were wounded by bullets or saw that their plane had been damaged and knew that they could not return to the base; others were obsessed with it.  Dedicated to hit the target.

    That Japanese plane smashed down on the deck of the "Xuanyuan" like a stone.  The plane was about to hit the stern of the ship. It was so late that it was so fast that a few shells shattered the fuselage into pieces and the fuselage tilted.  Fell down.  The plane tilted and hit the sea not far from the stern of the ship, making a loud roar.  Debris flew everywhere, one of the plane's wings was blown off, the fuselage was broken in two, gasoline spilled out, burned for a while and then sank.  Navy Captain Mo Yunsheng, who was driving the "Xuanyuan" at the time, turned the steering wheel sharply just before the bolide hit the stern of the ship, thus avoiding a direct collision.  At the same time, a mechanic jumped into the back cockpit of a parked plane on the deck and shot into the engine compartment of the Japanese plane, hoping to kill the Japanese pilot (who was probably already dead at the time).  As the Japanese plane slid up the stern, it tore the fuselage off a Chinese plane parked in the last row.  Other than that, there was no other damage, not even a fire anywhere.  However, the shock caused by this incident did not subside for a long time.  After the Japanese planes were wiped out, some gunners were still in shock for a long time. They saw some target in a daze and suddenly started firing like crazy.

    The task force moved forward again.  At around 14:00, a Japanese float-type seaplane suddenly emerged from the clouds in the distance.  But the plane was shot down by fighter jets escorting it in the air before it could get close to the fleet.At this point, everything was calm.  The task force headed for Dalian Port at a speed of 25 knots.  The sun was gradually setting in the west, and the shadow of the fleet was swimming on the bright sea. At this time, the watch post on the upper level of the ship reported that two Japanese heavy bombers were spotted 5,000 meters above the stern of the ship.  The crew suddenly became nervous again.

    The anti-aircraft guns were aimed at the air, but the Japanese aircraft kept their flying altitude out of range.  The Japanese aircraft first maneuvered outside the clouds, then rushed from one cloud to another and began to approach the fleet.  It was obvious to the crew of the "Xuanyuan" that the fighter squadron escorting in the air tried to intercept the two Japanese aircraft, but was unable to catch up.  These were two fast heavy bombers.  They flew towards the task force very cautiously, aiming directly at the "Xuanyuan".  The ship's anti-aircraft guns fired, but still had no effect.  The fighter squadron leader began to want to intercept the Japanese aircraft. When he found that he could not catch up, he tried to use a wireless phone to correct the shooting deviation of the ship's anti-aircraft guns: "It's too low it's too high, ninety meters By the way  By the wayhit!" The two Japanese planes were still approaching.  The tail of one of them was smoking.  It trailed smoke, but it still followed a Japanese plane in front.  They dropped two bombs each, dropped far away from their targets, and then disappeared back into the clouds.  Anti-aircraft guns were ordered to stop firing.  Fighter squads formed in formation above the clouds to attack Japanese aircraft.  The officers and soldiers of the "Xuanyuan" watched the fighter jets rush into the clouds and then emerge from the clouds shaking like wasps.  As soon as the inter-plane wireless phone connected to the loudspeaker.  I heard the pilots shouting to each other.  Pilots exchange bearings.  Their excited shouts and the roar of machine guns could be heard on the ship.  I saw the Japanese plane that had been shot emerge from the clouds, with thick smoke trailing behind it, and it was getting thicker and thicker, like a wounded beast dragging its internal organs out of its abdomen.  It is clear.  This enemy plane couldn't run far, so the fighter jet simply left it alone and used all its strength to deal with the other enemy plane.  The machine guns roared closer and closer.  When the plane fell downwards, the roar of the engine was intertwined with the roar of extremely dense machine guns, followed immediately by Lieutenant Commander McKinley's surprised shout: "Look!" The officers and soldiers of the "Regulus" responded in response.  I saw fragments of the plane falling like raindrops from a thick cumulus cloud, and some seemed to be still spinning in the air. As I watched, several long objects suddenly appeared, neither spinning nor spinning.  It turned out to be the limbs of a Japanese pilot.

    The sun sank into the horizon.  After a while, the "Xuanyuan" took back the plane.  The task force returned to Dalian Port on July 4.  A battle report had been sent to Dalian Port ahead of the fleet, announcing that they had successfully completed the mission.  The new recruits in the harbor, who less than a month ago had cursed them for not catching up with the Japanese attack, were running to the top of the shelter.  Cheers to them.  On Dock No. 1, hundreds of arms were waving to welcome the return of the aircraft carrier.  Its first attack was a success, and the press gave it maximum coverage.  This is in sharp contrast to the previous newspapers' non-stop reporting on the Soviet battlefield. The Chinese public also keenly felt something from this change.

    After the Japanese invaded the West Coast of the United States.  At the same time, it continues to expand to the Central and South Pacific and advances into Australia.  The Chinese Naval Command decided to send a fleet to attack the Japanese mainland again.  This is small comfort to the traumatized American public.  Wu Qianlong accepted the mission on July 11.  On the 21st, he issued a combat order.  The task force was conducting shooting training between battles at the time, and after receiving the order.  We set sail for Tsushima Island.  In the early morning of the 24th, the battle began.  There's not much to say about this knockout.  It's just that taking off is particularly difficult.  In the early morning of that day, the sky was still dark, and the east wind blew the raindrops more and more fiercely. The "Xuanyuan" moved quickly against the strong wind.  The plane's propellers rotated rapidly, raising pieces of water mist that obscured the pilot's sight. An iridescent circular surface formed around the propellers, as shiny and bright as a mirror, masking the blue flames ejected from the exhaust pipe.  Taking off in this condition is simply impossible.  However, time was running out, and the cruisers sent to bombard the coast of Tsushima had to wait for the first round of aircraft bombing before they could fire.  Several dive bombers still took off forcefully.  A plane fell from the ship into the sea during takeoff, and the destroyer had to turn on its searchlight to search for the crew that fell into the water.  The pilot was saved, but the machine gunner drowned in the sea.  At the same time, several aircraft that had already taken off were hovering over the aircraft carrier. They could not see anything in the fog and rain. If they wanted to form a formation in this situation, they would be in danger of colliding at any time.  The anxious Wu Qianlong had to order a 30-minute delay in departure.

    The cruiser waited for no planes to come, but was afraid of being discovered by the enemy, so it opened fire without waiting for the planes to bomb.  The visibility gradually improved and the plane finally took off.  When the pilots saw Tsushima Island in the distance, they saw the smoke and fire caused by the shells.  There were no Japanese fighter planes in the air, and the island's anti-aircraft guns were weak.  The island, which had desperately resisted the invasion of the Yuan army, was bombed for 40 minutes.

    &nbOn a whim, the naval command's appetite grew, and it immediately ordered an attack on Iki Island in an attempt to expand the results of this consolation attack.  Wu Qianlong received this order when he led the fleet on its way back from Tsushima Island to Dalian Port.  As soon as the new attack target was announced, it immediately caused a sensation on the ship.  Iki Island is a small island with a circumference of only 17 kilometers, located between Tsushima Island and Kyushu Island, and only 16 kilometers away from Kyushu.  This small island has always been Japanese territory.  China's Naval Intelligence Agency said the island has an airport, a radio station and a weather station important to Japan.  The battle to attack Iki Island started before dawn on August 4.  Under the bright moonlight, 31 bombers and 6 fighter jets took off from the sea 125 nautical miles away from the attack target.
