Chapter 188: Use Japanese fighter planes to bomb Japanese warships! (First update!)
“So many fighter planes?”
As soon as the day broke, the aviation pilots, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately flew their fighter planes towards Yangon Airport.
As soon as they landed, Zhang Yang led the pilots towards the fighter planes at the airport.
Looking at the fighter plane in front of him, he was immediately overjoyed.
In addition to fighter jets, the most eye-catching are bombers.
Although it cannot be compared with the US military's B-17 bomber, the Type heavy bomber is definitely enough for the current Sichuan Army.
Combined with the Spitfire fighter, it can definitely play a huge role.
"What do you think? These fighter jets are pretty good, right?" Long Wenjian said proudly as he looked at Zhang Yang in front of him.
"Yes, yes. The commander called me last night and I thought he was joking. I didn't expect there were so many fighter planes. I wasn't polite and sent people back." Zhang Yang said bluntly.
Hearing this, Long Wenjian reached out to stop the other person, then said with a smile.
"Captain Zhang, don't be in a hurry."
Huh?
Seeing Long Wenjian’s expression, Zhang Yang’s heart skipped a beat. Did he regret it?
impossible.
Long Wenjian wouldn't dare to do such a thing, or maybe he needs his help with something?
As expected, Long Wenjian began to talk about how difficult it was for him to attack Yangon and how unreliable those natives were.
"Stop, stop." Zhang Yang stretched out his hand to stop Long Wenjian from continuing.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do for you? Forget about borrowing the pilot."
"I know that these pilots are the commander's favorites. What I mean is, can we let those in the sky strafe the Japanese troops in the city?" Long Wenjian asked with a smile, pointing at the P38 fighter jets escorting in the sky.
"Ah? You are talking about this matter? It's no big deal. After all the fighter planes here are taken away, I will let them go into the city to attack the Japanese army." Zhang Yang thought it was something else. It was such a small matter and it was really not a problem.
Hearing this, Long Wenjian smiled and said.
"Okay, with the help of fighter planes, it should be no problem to take Yangon."
"I think you should not be too happy too soon. The Japanese army will never watch Rangoon being lost. This place is too important to them."
"They either send fighter jets to support or warships."
"But no fighter jets have appeared so far. I think there is a high probability that it is a battleship." Zhang Yang looked at Long Wenjian's excited expression and couldn't help but interrupt him.
After hearing this, Long Wenjian was shocked. He then took out the map and started looking at it. He felt more and more that what Zhang Yang said was very likely to come true.
"Is it all in vain?" Long Wenjian asked unwillingly.
"It's not a futile fight, but it's probably going to be difficult to defend Yangon. After all, it's too difficult for a flesh-and-blood body to withstand the attack of naval guns."
"Besides, there are no heavy artillery or coastal defense guns here. It is too difficult to stop the warships from approaching."
"Don't look at me like that. The pilots under my command are all rookies. Let them fly these bombers to bomb the Japanese warships." Zhang Yang shook his head and rejected his proposal.
"Let's give it a try? Anyway, the Japanese will definitely not send too many warships. If we really fail, I will withdraw from Rangoon. If we sink a Japanese warship, it will enhance our country's prestige." Long Wenjian's ability to deceive is still very good.
It has to be said that Zhang Yang was indeed moved, and immediately asked another question.
"There are aerial bombs at the airport?"
"Yes, there are a lot of bombs in the hangar. I don't know which one they are. How about you go and take a look?" Long Wenjian narrowed his eyes and without waiting for the other party to refuse, he pulled him towards the hangar.
As a result, we saw various types of aerial bombs, the largest of which was a 50-kilogram aerial bomb.
"How about it? Can we do it? If we can sink a battleship, we will definitely make a fortune."
"Besides, there are so many shells here that we can't transport them back. If you don't have bombs, this broken plane will be useless."
I have to say, when it comes to fooling people, Long Wenjian is still the best. At least Zhang Yang really wants to try these aerial bombs now.
They are all from the Japanese anyway, it would be a waste if we don’t use them.
"Okay, let me explain first. This is also the first time for my people to fly a Japanese bomber. After the bombing is over, they have to return to Myitkyina."
"As for whether we can take Yangon, I can't guarantee it." Zhang Yang thought about it and decided to make it clear first.
"No problem. Sinking a battleship is much more important than taking Yangon." Long Wenjian said confidently.
"And you're right. If we really take Yangon, we may not be able to hold it without the navy."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang said nothing more and immediately asked his subordinates to familiarize themselves with the Japanese bombers. The other rookies were asked to fly fighter planes back to Myitkyina.
After all, their mission is to pick up these fighter planes.
In addition, the transport planes that previously transported the pilots were also required to transport back a large number of aerial bombs.
Now Zhang Yang wishes he had a few more transport planes.
such a pity!
This transport plane nominally still belongs to the US military, but is only temporarily loaned to Cun Yunsheng.
On the other hand, Long Wenjian once again urged his subordinates to launch an attack on Yangon.
Unfortunately, without the support of heavy artillery, this kind of siege battle would be extremely difficult.
Fortunately, there are ten 120mm heavy mortars that can provide fire support at any time.
The rhythm of the front-line attack was guaranteed. Otherwise, with such heavy losses, these natives would have given up and run away long ago.
Even so, Long Wenjian's troops suffered heavy losses. In just one hour, the loss reached hundreds of people.
If it weren't for the suppression by the supervision team, it would have collapsed long ago.
On the other hand, the Japanese army was not having an easy time either.
"How's the situation on the front line?" Kawabe Masazo asked anxiously.
"Colonel, the resistance on the opposite side has used fighter planes. The front-line troops have suffered heavy losses, and some positions have been lost." Yahara Hiromichi explained.
"Nani?"
"Why do these rebels have fighter planes?" Kawabe Masazo asked in disbelief.
"It should be the fighter planes of the Sichuan Army. It turns out that they are supporting this rebel army behind the scenes." Yahara Hiromichi said hatefully.
Hearing this, Kawabe Masazo shook his head and said.
"No, it should be the Allied Forces. The Sichuan Army alone does not have the strength to support so many rebels. Tonggu reported that there are tens of thousands of rebels around them."
Masazo Kawabe was not surprised at all that there were so many rebels. After all, the Japanese army was almost robbing them openly, pushing the natives directly to the Allied side.
I had expected this day to come.
But he didn't expect the Allied forces to act so quickly.
It hasn't been long since then, and the size of the rebel army has reached more than 20,000 people.
Wouldn't there be more than 100,000 people in the future?
Thinking of this, Hebian Zhengsan's scalp felt tingling.
But what is more important right now is how to resolve the crisis in Yangon.
"We must hold the front line, the navy's warships will arrive soon." Hebian Zhengsan took a deep breath and spoke.
"Hay."
On the other side, in the Andaman Sea, a Yubari light cruiser and a Harukaze destroyer were speeding towards Rangoon.
Originally, two cruisers were to be dispatched, but the mission was temporarily changed, with the Yubari light cruiser cooperating with the Harukaze destroyer to support Rangoon.
"Those idiots in the army are so incompetent that they allowed a group of rebels to surround Rangoon. They are the shame of the empire." Captain of the Yubari, Colonel Masami Saka, put down the urging telegram in his hand and said disdainfully.
"Call back and arrive in half an hour."
"Hi." The adjutant next to him responded immediately.
"Let the Spring Breeze speed up. Don't drag it out. We have a new mission to deal with the rebels in Yangon." Colonel Masami Saka spoke again.
After a night of careful consideration, Chuichi Nanyun believed that the only way to break the impasse was to head west.
Otherwise, the situation will completely collapse in one to two years at most.
If he hadn't promised Kawabe Masamitsu to send two warships to provide support.
He wouldn't send any troops at all.
Not long after, the two warships arrived at the port of Yangon, and the smoke rising in the distance could be clearly seen.
According to the coordinates provided by the Japanese troops in the city, the two warships began to fire their naval guns in unison.
I have to say that the power of a naval gun salvo is indeed terrifying.
After one round of volleys, hundreds of natives were taken away.
When the remaining natives saw this, they panicked and started to flee.
As a result, he was suppressed by the supervision team behind him.
There was no other choice but to continue the attack.
The Japanese troops in the city finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In just a moment, their defense line collapsed completely under the fire of fighter planes.
After all, a flesh and blood body cannot withstand machine gun bullets.
It really hit the person and immediately broke him into two pieces.
"Captain Zhang, it's your turn." Long Wenjian said solemnly as he watched his attack being blocked.
He didn't expect that the Japanese army would actually send warships to support him.
If it weren't for Zhang Yang's reminder, his idea of taking over Yangon would have completely failed.
After all, the weapons in his hands cannot threaten the warship.
"Okay, now it's our turn to perform." Zhang Yang didn't expect that his guess was right. The Japanese army really sent warships for support.
In fact, it is normal. If it were him, he would definitely ask the navy for help. After all, a warship is a mobile firepower fortress.
Not long after, ten Type 97 heavy bomber aircraft took off one after another.
Because the distance was very close, each ship was fully loaded with 1,000 kilograms of ammunition.
When the fighter planes took off and arrived over Yangon, the two warships in the port were still pouring out their anger.
He didn't even notice the fighter plane appearing overhead.
It was not until the fighter plane began to dive that it discovered that an enemy plane was approaching.
"Damn it, these are our fighter planes, why are they attacking us? Could it be that those idiots in the army betrayed us?" Colonel Masami Sakamura looked at the fighter planes attacking them with a confused look on his face.
In normal naval battles, anti-aircraft guns are positioned so that soldiers are ready to fire at any time.
However, after arriving at the port, they found that the other side was just a group of natives and did not even think about the issue of air defense.
As for the fighter planes that had previously strafed the city, they were all fighter jets and did not pose a big threat to the warships.
What's more, the other party has disappeared.
Therefore, the naval soldiers of the Yubari became completely carried away.
As a result, when the Type 97 heavy bomber approached them, they were completely panicked.
Zhang Yang did not divide his troops and directly ordered ten fighter planes to bomb the largest Yubari.
When the dive reaches a certain level, the aerial bombs fall directly.
Most of it fell into the water, followed by a violent explosion.
Splashing countless waves!
But two shells also landed on the deck of the Yubari.
boom!
boom!
The fifty-kilogram aerial bomb exploded instantly.
The resulting shock wave engulfed the surrounding Japanese troops.
A naval gun was even blown away.
A huge hole was blown in the deck.
Colonel Masami Sakamura looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. He simply couldn't believe his eyes.
A huge hole was blown out of his own cruiser?
More importantly, the wailing sounds coming from all around him told him that all this was real.
"Damn it, why would the army's fighter planes attack us?" Colonel Masami Saka still hasn't figured out why the army's fighter planes would take the initiative to attack them.
Has Yangon been lost?
Did the pilots surrender too?
It is not impossible, after all, the contradiction between land and sea is very deep.
The Army Air Force has been thinking about bombing them for a long time.
"Captain, could it be that the fighter plane was taken away by the rebels?" the adjutant said, covering the blood on his forehead.
"What? Why didn't the airport defenders destroy the fighter planes?" Colonel Masami Saka asked in confusion.
No one could answer him this question.
The destroyer Chunfeng next to it, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately turned around and fled desperately towards the port.
If you don't run away, you'll really be a sitting duck.
"Baga, turn quickly..." Colonel Masami Saka finally came to his senses and shouted loudly, while ordering the anti-aircraft soldiers to start counterattacking.
But it's too late!
A second round of dive bombing came again.
boom!
boom!
boom!
The first few aerial bombs still did not hit the Yubari cruiser, mainly because these pilots were flying bombers for the first time and were not skilled in dropping bombs.
I could only rely on my own feelings to drop bombs, which resulted in some large errors.
More importantly, Zhang Yang did not allow them to dive too close. Once the enemy's anti-aircraft guns reacted, they might suffer heavy losses.
This resulted in an unexpectedly low hit rate, but it did not affect their bombing.
After all, each of them was fully loaded with aerial bombs and could drop bombs with impunity.
boom!
This time, only one aerial bomb was dropped on the Yubari, but this time it was directly on the bow of the ship.
boom!
Colonel Masami Saka, who was hiding on the island to command the ship, was shocked to the point of almost falling.
"Baga, turn around quickly." Colonel Masami Sakamiya roared angrily again.
Unfortunately, the turning speed was very slow, so they could only watch the aerial bombs hovering in the sky falling down.
The nearest shell exploded and splashed very close to Colonel Masami Sakamiya.
This made his scalp tingle.
At the same time, he kept cursing the army for being a bunch of idiots.
So many fighter planes were lost!
The Japanese troops in the city were also stunned by what they saw.
Their fighter planes are bombing their own warships!
What kind of joke was Amaterasu playing on them?
Maybe it's because I've been writing for a month, with a total of more than 500,000 words, so my body can't take it. I used the air conditioner last night and caught a cold when I woke up in the morning. I took medicine and felt groggy all day. I had to stop writing after a while. I felt extremely uncomfortable. The next update will be a little later.
