"Commander, we can't let the enemy's torpedoes go. Otherwise, we won't even be able to protect the remaining three aircraft carriers. There are too many enemies. Our cruisers don't have enough catapult fighters to deal with so many enemy aircraft.”
Hearing Ma Ran's answer, Wei Chenghong scolded," Even if you use your warships to block, you have to protect the aircraft carrier. Follow my orders and concentrate your firepower to destroy the enemy's bombing."”
" Yes." Ma Ran knew that the time to risk his life was coming. In other words, even if their ship blocked the torpedoes for the aircraft carrier, they could not let the aircraft carrier sink.
The sea was covered in smoke. Because most of the air defense firepower was used to intercept the bomber, the pressure on the Japanese attack planes was greatly reduced. They sped up and headed straight for the aircraft carrier formation.
"Left full helm, all anti-air cannons attack the enemy planes from both sides. Let the other warships deal with the enemy planes above.”Wang Yi Jun was very calm. As the commander of the formation, he couldn't lose his composure. If he lost his composure, the others wouldn't be able to follow suit.
Amidst the roaring of the engine, a Japanese fighter jet approached the aircraft carrier formation and was attacked fiercely. The plane caught fire and the pilot directly crashed into the Wenzhou Island.
The four anti-aircraft cannons fired wildly, and shells were thrown out continuously. Occasionally, some fell into the sea and splashed.
The sky was filled with flames as they chased after the Japanese planes. Through the use of tracers, the gunners could correct the trajectory and pull forward a little. This way, the shooting effect would be better. The enemy planes that fell from the sky were the best proof.
As the battle went on, the cannoneers 'skills started to improve. Battle experience was really important. At least, they wouldn't waste a lot of ammunition like they did in the beginning.
Another three bomber planes swooped down. They were determined to sink the Wenzhou aircraft carrier. The enemy had risked their lives to protect the aircraft carrier, which meant that the enemy also realized the importance of the aircraft carrier.
Just as the Japanese carrier aircraft attacked Wei Chenghong's fleet, the carrier aircraft that took off from the Wenzhou and Chenmei also began to fly toward the Japanese capital bay. Chen Zhongyan had already seen the port below the clouds. There were many ships.
"This is Eagle One, calling Falcon One, over.”
" Falcon One received, over."
"Attack enemy ports, factories, palaces, and military units. Also, if possible, try not to attack the civilian residential areas. Over.”
"Falcon One, copy. The enemy's fighter jet is in your hands. Over.”
The attack planes had already begun to dive, and the large number of planes caused panic. This was because the Japanese government did not make any noise. They originally thought that the navy would send people to intercept them, and the planes of the Army were still gathering. They did not expect the enemy to arrive so quickly. It was already too late to evacuate now.
Sirens rang throughout the city as the anti-air cannons began to fire, exploding one after another. However, to the huge fleet, it was just a bunch of waves. It seemed that the Japanese were not prepared for an attack on their homeland.
Wei Chenghong wasn't from America, so he couldn't afford to use horizontal bombing. He could only let the attack aircraft dive down and drop the bombs accurately. The first target was the port of the East Asian capital bay, where there were many merchant ships and a few destroyer.
The fighter jets did not dive down. Their mission was to ensure that their own attack planes were not attacked by the enemy's fighter jets, not to dive down and shoot at the panicked crowd with machine guns or cannons.
At first, many Japanese people thought that it was a drill, but in the end, they paid the price. Several ships at the port wanted to leave, but they were all blown up and sunk at the port. Instead, they blocked the sea route, making it impossible for the people inside to escape.
The attack on the East Asian mainland would undoubtedly shock the East Asian people. After all, they were still dreaming of conquering China.
The Prime Minister was first summoned by Hirohito and was scolded. He was told to find a solution immediately, or he would have to wait to step down.
One level suppressed the other. Even though the Imperial Guards were scolded by Hirohito, he still went to the Minister of the Navy and the Minister of the Army to scold them. The military expenditure had increased year by year, yet they were being attacked at their doorstep. What were they doing?
"I've already sent the local fighter jets to the Japanese capital, but it will take some time.”The Minister of Land Affairs was Sugiyama, the general of the Japanese Army, and also the person in charge of the Army Airlines.
Minister of the Navy, Mitsumasa Minami, didn't say a word. Who asked the navy to do something wrong? However, Mitsumasa Minami trusted Yamamoto 56. He felt that since Yamamoto didn't intercept the enemy's aircraft, he must have his own plans.
"I just don't know what the navy is doing. They're spending so much money to buy a villa and keep a lover?”The reason why Sugiyama said that he wanted to buy a villa was because many high-ranking naval officers did the same. They were taught by the Japanese Navy of Country Y and had learned their aristocratic ways. Yamamoto 56 also had several lovers.
The old feud between Satsuma and Choshu, coupled with the difference in military spending, had caused the two armies to be at odds with each other.
Twenty minutes after the air raid began, the Japanese aerial forces finally appeared. The port had been completely destroyed, and a large number of merchant ships and cargo that needed to be loaded and unloaded had been destroyed.
The 50 to 60 military aircraft were all old-fashioned biplanes. This was also the reason why they were taking their time. Their military expenditure was not as high as the Magic City Army's, and the new aircraft they were developing was still on the blueprint.
As for the Luhang Type 97 fighter jets that were produced, they were all packed and sent to the Chinese battlefield. The Japanese were very confident that their homeland would not be attacked, so they did not equip the new model.
"Hehe, are you here to give your head away?”Chen Zhongyan laughed disdainfully. This was a completely unfair contest. Not only was the other party at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but their performance was also worlds apart.
"The 1st and 2nd squadrons will go down and deal with them. The other squadrons will continue to be on guard.”Two squadrons with more than 40 planes were enough. Chen Zhongyan knew that in a short while, all the old biplanes would crash.
The Imperial Palace of the East was called the Imperial Residence. It was incomparable to the Forbidden City of China. Whether it was in terms of history or architecture, it was still an important spiritual symbol for the East Asian people.
Today, the Imperial Palace of Japan was bombed and many palaces were on fire. There were many foreigners here. This was the capital of Japan and there were many ambassadors from various countries. Japan had yet to declare war on the West.
"Not only did this deal a huge blow to the arrogance of the Japanese, but it also caused their international status to plummet. The capital of a country was actually bombed, and even the palace was destroyed.
After burning for an entire hour, Chenmei still sank. The only good news was that the crew had withdrawn.
Dozens of torpedoes broke through the artillery barrage of the cruiser and destroyer and fired more than a dozen torpedoes at the Wenzhou. It seemed that they were determined to kill the Wenzhou.
The surging waves on the surface of the sea could clearly see the trajectory of the torpedoes. No matter how the Wenzhou turned, it would still take a few torpedoes.
Wei Chenghong, who was standing on the flagship Huaxia, said," My aircraft carrier is finished.”Next were the three smaller aircraft carriers. Yamamoto probably wouldn't leave any for Wei Chenghong.
The sea was densely covered with Japanese aircraft. Although dozens of them had been shot down, there were still many of them, flying around like flies.
