Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 398 Torpedoes Show Their Power

398 Torpedo Shows Power

Now, the Japanese aircraft carrier "Longxiang" has become a moving target.

The subsequent bombers continued to dive one after another.

Drop bombs on the Japanese aircraft carrier Longxiang.

Boom boom boom!

Every time a bomb hits the Longxiang aircraft carrier, it will create a big hole and then explode.

This is because the flight deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier was made entirely of wood.

Although, these wooden flight decks have many benefits.

However, once the enemy bombers can fly over your aircraft carrier and throw it off course.

Then, the shortcomings of this wooden flight deck are revealed.

The one or two hundred kilograms of waterway that fell down took advantage of the inertia of the fall.

It can easily penetrate the wooden deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier Longxiang, fall into the lower cabin and hangar, and then explode.

It caused huge damage to the Japanese aircraft carrier.

Moreover, the fire was difficult to extinguish.

"what!"

At this time, countless firemen were struggling inside the cabin of the Japanese aircraft carrier.

At this moment, the Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo had completely lost its role in the naval battle.

The aircraft carrier of this era is a mobile airport.

Once the airport is destroyed, it will lose its combat capability.

However, it is still difficult to rely on bombers to sink the Japanese aircraft carrier.

If you want to sink a 10,000-ton aircraft carrier like the Japanese, the most effective way of attack is still to use a torpedo attack.

So, when in the sky, the pilots of the 3rd Bomber Squadron.

We saw that the Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo had been bombed by the bombers from the first and second squadrons in front, with thick smoke billowing out of it.

A huge fire broke out on the aircraft carrier and explosions continued to occur.

The bombers of the third squadron stopped attacking the Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo.

Instead, under the command of Captain Leng Tiancheng, they dived towards the two destroyers around them.

“It’s fucking awesome.

Damn Japanese aircraft carrier Longxiang.

Back then, this guy participated in the Battle of Shanghai.

I don't know how many times fighter planes were dispatched to bomb our soldiers on the Songhu battlefield.

Countless souls of our soldiers died at his hands.

This time, we finally got our revenge."

Captain Leng Tiancheng felt extremely happy as he looked at the Japanese aircraft carrier Longxiang filled with black smoke below.

"My eldest brother, my cousin, died in the Battle of Songhu.

Brother, I have avenged you.

The bomb I dropped just now hit the Japanese aircraft carrier.

Did you see that? "

Some Kuomintang pilots also burst into tears.

"Okay, don't cry.

Those who have completed bombing should return immediately.

Return to the airport to refuel and reload."

Captain Leng Tiancheng gave the order.

And just when the Japanese aircraft carrier Longxiang was being bombed horribly by the bomber brigade.

On the other side, the torpedo plane squadron was also simultaneously attacking the Japanese battleship "Haruna".

This Kongo-class battleship, with a displacement of over 30,000 tons, is one of the main battleships of the current Japanese naval fleet.

The battleship Kirishima was sunk by Ye Qingshan on the Yangtze River.

It is considered its sister ship and belongs to the Kongo class.

Considering that the Japanese battleship's anti-aircraft firepower is too strong.

At this time, half of the anti-aircraft firepower network around the Japanese aircraft carrier came from this Kongo-class battleship.

This guy is equipped with 25 34mm anti-aircraft guns to attack Ye Qingshan's attack aircraft group.

It poses a huge threat, so it would be best to sink it first.

This battleship is not like the Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo. If the flight deck is destroyed, it will basically lose its combat capability.

You must sink this Japanese battleship of more than 30,000 tons completely.

He can keep fighting.

"You little bastard, your grandpa is sending you eggs."

The Kuomintang torpedo plane pilot in front rushed down despite the anti-aircraft fire.

Anti-aircraft shells exploded all around and bullets whizzed past.

However, they were not afraid at all, only excited.

They want revenge and make history.

The Japanese battleship "Haruna" also participated in the Battle of Songhu.

Even some time ago, it was on the warship that covered the Japanese regiment's landing in Longwan.

There is this guy.

鬼子这艘榛名号战列舰上，不仅有8门356毫米口径主炮，还有152毫米火炮14门，127毫米火炮12门。

The firepower is extremely powerful.

During the Battle of Shanghai, tens of thousands of Nationalist soldiers died under the large-caliber artillery such as the Haruna.

A true executioner!

"You damned little devils, today is the day for you to pay with blood.

kill! "

The attacking torpedo planes were all in groups of two, front and back.

The first one in front was a torpedo plane piloted by British and American pilots, and the second one in the back was piloted by a Kuomintang pilot.

Because British and Filipino pilots have more experience in dropping torpedoes.

So, before you act.

The torpedo plane squadron leader Feng Manjue ordered the Kuomintang pilots to follow the British and American pilots and drop bombs.

Soon, two torpedo planes swooped down, flew close to the sea surface, and advanced into the torpedo range.

He immediately fired torpedoes at the Japanese battleship "Haruna" and then flew away again.

Each torpedo plane can only carry one 457 mm aerial torpedo.

There is no doubt about its power.

If you're lucky, one of these torpedoes might be able to send a giant like the Haruna to the bottom of the sea.

thump!

As a torpedo entered the water, it rushed straight towards the Japanese battleship Haruna.

Behind it, the second torpedo plane also quickly dropped torpedoes.

Two torpedoes were several miles away, rushing towards the Japanese battleship "Haruna".

"Torpedoes, torpedoes incoming."

On the deck of the Japanese battleship "Haruna", a Japanese observer screamed.

"Left full rudder!"

After receiving the report, the Japanese captain immediately issued an emergency turn order to try to avoid the incoming torpedo.

At this time, the Japanese ship "Haruna" had already sailed at full speed.

The speed is still very fast, reaching about thirty nautical miles per hour.

Soon, this huge ship weighing more than 30,000 tons made a sharp turn on the sea, the hull tilted, and it seemed like it was about to fall over at any time.

The Japanese battleship "Haruna" relied on this fancy move.

It actually avoided the first two torpedoes that came in.

"Damn, I missed."

The Kuomintang pilot who was flying away was very upset after seeing this scene.

“No, the distance for dropping torpedoes is too far.

This gave the Japanese battleships enough time to react and turn.

We need to bring the bombing distance closer.

At least shorten the distance by one third.”

After receiving the report, Captain Feng Man immediately issued new instructions.

“No, no.

Captain Feng, your order is too risky.

If we fly too close, we will be hit by the Japanese warships' anti-aircraft fire.

Dropping bombs at this distance is already the limit.

We won’t get any closer.”

As a result, a pilot on the British side refused to carry out the order.

Other British and American pilots agreed.

Feng Man was very angry after hearing this and shouted, "Once you are on the battlefield, you must obey orders."

“No, it’s an order to die.

We don’t enforce it.”

"Damn it!"

Feng Man looked very unhappy.

But at this moment, he knew that it was not the time to argue with these foreign pilots.

“After this battle is over, we must tell the commander.

These foreign pilots are simply unreliable.

In the future, we will have to train more of our own pilots.

Let all these Western devils get out of here."

"In that case, then you should go and sink the Japanese aircraft carrier 'Ryujo'.

The mission to sink this battleship does not require your cooperation."

Feng Man simply transferred these British and American pilots out.

Let them sink the aircraft carrier Ryujo.

Anyway, they will have to deal with this Japanese aircraft carrier later.

Let these British and American pilots deal with it, even if they launch torpedoes from a long distance.

It should also be enough to hit the Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo.

At this time, due to continuous bombing, the power system of the Japanese aircraft carrier Longxiang was damaged.

Although it was still sailing, the speed was only a dozen knots.

It is easier to hit with a torpedo.

"Captain, this is your order.

We're leaving, if you can't sink that Japanese battleship.

After the war, the general cannot blame us and deduct our bonuses."

British and American pilots warned the enemy to stop the attack.

“Huh, without you.

We can also sink the Japanese battleship.

Now, you will execute my orders immediately."

Feng Man’s attitude was very firm.

"OK!"

Immediately, the remaining seven British and American pilots, still carrying torpedoes, turned their torpedo planes around.

Rushing towards the Japanese aircraft carrier "Longxiang" in the north.

They should have no problem shooting at this kind of fixed target.

"Brothers, the Western devils are unreliable.

In this battle, we have to rely on ourselves to sink the Japanese battleship.

Keep attacking.

Remember, this time the distance for launching torpedoes will be shortened by one third.

The angles of the two torpedoes dropped by each group must be controlled well."

Feng Man gave new orders to the remaining eight torpedo planes piloted by the National Army pilots.

"Understood, Captain.

We will definitely be able to sink this Japanese battleship."

“That’s right, even without these Western devils, we can still succeed.

I don’t see anyone.”

"Brothers, we're going first."

Then, the two torpedo planes combined and flew towards the Japanese battleship "Haruna" again.

The two torpedo planes piloted by the National Army pilots circled around the left side of the battleship "Haruna".

Approach quickly.

"Chinese torpedo plane."

The anti-aircraft guns on the Japanese battleships immediately opened fire on them.

Soon, two torpedo planes arrived at the bombing distance originally set by British and American pilots.

However, this time, neither of the two Kuomintang pilots dropped torpedoes.

They were still flying their planes, rushing towards the Japanese battleships.

In the distance, the seven British and American pilots who were flying not far away saw the torpedo planes piloted by the Kuomintang pilots.

I was also shocked when I saw them getting so close to the Japanese battleship.

“These Chinese are all crazy.

Even if they sink the Japanese battleships, they will die.”

Some British and American pilots were shocked when they saw this.

“Do you think they are afraid of death?

I admire them very much for their spirit of fighting for their country without fear of death.

Unfortunately, this is not my country, I am just here to get paid.

I can’t do what they do.”
