Chapter 79 Japanese Air Force Bombing Jiangyin Fortress
The firepower of the Chinese navy and almost all naval fleets was concentrated in Jiangyin, preparing to meet the incoming Japanese fleet.
Lieutenant General Chen Jiliang, commander of the First Fleet of the Navy, led the main naval forces "Ninghai", "Pinghai", "Yixian", "Yingrui", "Haiqi", "Hairong", "Haichen" and "Haichou" 8
A cruiser deployed behind the shipwreck blockade, and the small ships of the 2nd Fleet deployed behind it.
It is hoped that through this "fortress" tactic, the long-range strike capability of the cruiser's main gun can be used to fight against the Japanese aircraft groups that are constantly attacking and harassing, as well as the incoming Japanese fleet.
Just as Commander-in-Chief Chen Shaokuan and all senior navy generals were discussing the operational deployment plan for scuttling the fleet and the ship fleet to stop the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet from continuing to advance,
The 2nd Sea-Based Air Force that took off from the "Kaga" had 94 carrier-based aircraft, a total of 12 Japanese aircraft, and they also quickly carried out a successful take-off and sortie on the aircraft carrier deck.
Their attack target was to fly over the Jiangyin Fortress, divide into three groups and launch aerial bombing operations, preparing to blow up all the forts, watchtowers, and Lightning School of the Jiangyin Fortress.
After taking off successfully, the 12 Japanese planes quickly divided into two attack waves.
After approaching the Jiangyin Fortress, they were prepared to immediately carry out a rapid raid on the fort on the top of Huangshan Mountain and the Dianlei School campus at the foot of the mountain, as well as dive bombing and air strikes, a one-stop operation.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
........
As the Japanese aircraft group dropped a series of high-altitude aerial bombs in the bombing operation, the huge explosion sound was heard continuously.
Therefore, the expressions of the generals of the national army and navy who were having a meeting, including Commander Admiral Chen Shaokuan, suddenly changed drastically.
"No! It's a Japanese bombing attack by the Japanese planes. Everyone should evacuate and take cover! Hurry!"
"The meeting is temporarily suspended!"
As soon as I heard the deafening, intensive sound of gunfire and the explosion of aerial bombs outside,
Commander Admiral Chen Shaokuan took the lead and gave instructions to all the senior navy generals under his command.
"Yes! Commander!"
Vice Admiral Zeng Yiding, commander of the Navy's 2nd Fleet Headquarters, was the first to respond.
"I immediately went to supervise our troops. Why haven't the aircraft groups from the Army Aviation side arrived at us yet?"
"What are they doing? The Japanese planes have already arrived in two batches, and they are still carrying out indiscriminate bombings. However, there is no sign of the national army reinforcements that we have been looking forward to.
Coming.
This is actually embarrassing!
No wonder even these Japanese people look down on us and dare to send large numbers of troops to carry out aggressive operations.
"It's all these guys who are not living up to expectations!"
"If we strive to improve the domestic industrial base in an all-round way, we can make the country rich and the people strong. At the very least, we can maintain a solid foundation for our industrial development, making it easier for future industrial development!"
"Even if we don't say whether it will help future industrial development, at least it will allow our combat troops, like the Japanese army, to have large-scale production of self-produced and self-sold products without looking at the looks of foreigners! And independently developed
Production capacity!”
As soon as I heard the sound of the Japanese aircraft suddenly carrying out air raids and bombings,
Vice Admiral Chen Jiliang, commander of the 1st Fleet, immediately angrily cursed the Japanese aircraft group.
But for him to talk so long,
All senior naval officials did not have time to respond.
Because at this time, they had followed General Chen Shaokuan and rushed out of the headquarters, went outside to personally supervise the battle and command the troops to conduct air defense counterattacks.
soon,
The anti-aircraft gun group set up in the fortress, the naval gun group of the Chinese fleet, and the anti-aircraft gun group on the ship did not hesitate and immediately launched a precise counterattack.
For a moment, fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the explosions were deafening.
On the river surface of the Chinese fleet, huge water columns were constantly blown up by aerial bombs, and water sprays fell all over the sky.
In addition, some Japanese planes were hit on the fuselage by the national army's anti-aircraft artillery group and naval gun group. They continued to emit black smoke, fell rapidly towards the river, and sank into the river. As for those
Whether it is a Japanese pilot who successfully made an emergency parachute jump or a Japanese pilot who sacrificed his life for his country with both his men and his aircraft,
They were all killed.
Didn't the people and the machine explode together and become cannon fodder, shattered into pieces?
It was the Navy officers and soldiers, operating anti-aircraft machine guns, or light and heavy machine guns, who shot and killed the Japanese pilots during a strafing counterattack.
For a time, the entire peaceful Jiangyin Fortress erupted into fierce air defense operations again.
After the battle reaches the end,
Chapter completed!
