Rise from the sword

Chapter 656

The Pacific War almost depleted the family assets of the Devils United Fleet, and several naval battles almost killed elite pilots. However, Uncle Sam shifted his strategy in June, resulting in the subsequent Wright Gulf naval battle disappearing.

Plus the blood recovery in the past six months.

At present, the little devil still has some capital.

Even after part of the defense of the mainland and part of the escort of the subcontinent, about 150 fighter jets were dispatched to Bohai Bay, including aircraft carrier aircraft and road-based aircraft, plus aircraft squeezed out by the Army and deployed by the Kwantung Army.

At this time, there were [-] combat aircraft in Bohai Bay.

Three hundred of them were fighter jets.

The number of fighter jets and the troop cluster commanded by Ding Wei were still slightly higher, and the devil pilots did have an advantage, so it was normal to suppress Ding Wei who did not dare to attack desperately.

But today, these [-] planes are facing a fleet of independent regiments with more than four figures.

Three to one.

The pilots of the independent regiment have been trained, and they are not pure rookies. Many of them fly for about the same time as the devil pilots. You must know that these people have only been in contact with aircraft for half a year.

Moreover, after upgrading the engine, the performance of the latest fighter jet has greatly increased, and its firepower, maneuverability, and defense are much better than the devil's fighter jets.

No matter how powerful the little devil's skills are, even if most of the pilots of the independent regiment are attack aircraft pilots with very little combat experience, the number and performance are enough to make up for it, so the devil can only rush to the street.

The battle begins.

The devil's air supremacy was completely lost, and the planes fell like turkeys. The soldiers on the independent regiment's position were eye-opening, while the devils were dumbfounded.

"idiot."

Looking at the rout of his own fleet, Kotaro Hattori, the commanding officer, was furious.

He didn't expect that the enemy would suddenly rush out so many planes and defeat the Imperial Air Force in one fell swoop.

"Order all positions to strengthen their defenses."

After all, Chengde and Ding Wei had been facing each other for less than half a year. Hattori knew that a fierce attack was coming, so he quickly responded by strengthening the defense of the position and dispatching the reserve team:
"Order No. 20 Seventh Division, Fifth Division, No...."

After mobilizing all the reserve teams, Hattori's complexion still did not ease.

The longer he confronted the so-called independent regiment, the more hopeless he felt. From the example of the Taiyuan Battle, he concluded that if he lost the air supremacy, his thick concrete fortress was barely different from the paper's paper bombs against the enemy's ground penetrating bombs.

And once he loses the strong fortress, he will lose in the face of tank attack.

Even because of the shadow of the air force, retreating may be an extravagant hope.

The development of the battle situation confirmed Hattori Kotaro's speculation. With the disastrous defeat of the air force, the strong fortresses that had blocked the enemy's armored forces for many times were also destroyed one by one by the enemy's bombers.

Ground troops then attacked.

In the fierce artillery fire, the four-digit tanks rushed like a tsunami.

Without the strong firepower of the strong fortress node blocking, the devil's several positions were smashed by the armored cluster like paper, and broke through three positions in just five hours.

Simultaneously.

Except for a few devil warships outside Bohai Bay, which saw the situation was not good and ran fast, several devil warships in the bay were besieged by hundreds of attack planes. Facing the joint attack of torpedoes and bombs, including a Three devil battleships, including a small aircraft carrier, were sunk.

The confrontation lasted for several months. In just one day, the entire Bohai Bay defense line completely collapsed. The locust army of dozens of divisions fled like a swarm of locusts, unable to organize effective resistance at all.

In the end, Hattori Kotaro, unable to accept the facts, committed suicide by caesarean section.

······
South China Sea.

Twenty torpedo boats gathered together, under the cover of the island, and under the guidance of the early warning aircraft in the sky, they approached the Devils convoy.

Like a pack of wolves hunting.

Although the early warning aircraft in this era can only provide approximate positions and speeds, even intermittently, with low accuracy, it is impossible to guide long-range attacks, but this does not matter, the independent regiment has already taken the lead in over-the-horizon reconnaissance.

However, the wolves at this time are still a group of young wolves, their claws and teeth are not yet sharp, they lack a strong and powerful alpha wolf, they lack experience, and it is still very difficult for them to face the Devil Navy.

After all, with one light cruiser and seven destroyers, the devil's fleet is far stronger than Wang Gensheng's fleet, which cannot be compensated by self-guided torpedoes with a distance of ten kilometers.

But it doesn't matter.

In this battle, there are a hundred belly-mounted torpedoes in the sky to support.With these eagles, the strength of the two sides was completely reversed.The era of giant ships and cannons has passed, and now naval battles are dominated by aircraft carriers and aircraft.

The first wave of attack was launched by the Eagles. Thirty aircraft attacked the convoy from all directions.

Facing the sudden air attack, the commander of the Devils Escort Fleet was stunned.

Didn't you say that the torpedo boat attacked?
How did it come from a plane?Thirty at a time!

And there seem to be more planes in the sky!
Before setting off, he was ordered to prepare for torpedo boat attacks. For this reason, the fleet's flat-firing artillery was specially strengthened to prepare for the impact of high-speed torpedo boats. For this reason, some anti-aircraft guns were even removed.

In terms of formation, the escort warships are scattered around the fleet to ensure that there are no dead ends, but it also makes the escort warships too scattered.

In this formation, air defense is a taboo.

In the first wave, thirty torpedoes hit the fleet from all directions, some attacked the transport ship, and some attacked the frigate. After the bombs were dropped, the thirty attack planes did not leave, but were still circling around.

Ready to wait for an opportunity to attack again.

After the new engine is installed, the powerful mounting capacity of the air truck, even in order to maintain mobility, each one is also mounted with two torpedoes, which can repeatedly launch attacks.

The commander of the Devil Fleet is also a veteran. Although he couldn't figure it out in his heart, he still responded immediately, ordering each ship to evade and form an air defense formation again.

"Now, attack."

Seeing the transformation of the devil's formation, Wang Gensheng ordered the troops to attack.

Boom, the more than 1-horsepower engine was running at full speed, driving twenty torpedo boats to rush towards the Devils fleet at a speed of nearly forty knots, and the propellers stirred up violent torrents.

"Torpedo boat, fifteen nautical miles away."

"Twenty ships."

The lookout immediately discovered the new situation.

On the calm sea, even the low torpedo boat was discovered by the devil's watchman at a distance of fifteen nautical miles, or nearly thirty kilometers, and even figured it out quickly.

The heritage of the old navy is fully displayed.

But it didn't work.

At this time, the escort fleet was responding to evasion attacks from the air, and the second wave of [-] attacking ships had already begun. Facing the sudden onslaught of torpedo boats, the Devil commander also panicked.

For his eight destroyers, it is already a little difficult to face thirty torpedo planes alone, let alone more planes waiting for the opportunity to attack, as well as the torpedo boats attacking at high speed.

boom····

Finally, a destroyer was shot in the stern, lost speed, and began to flood and sink. A minute later, another destroyer was also hit and lost speed.

Facing the attack of torpedo boats and torpedo planes, losing speed and evasion ability at this time was tantamount to waiting for death. Soon, the two destroyers were blown to pieces by the swarming torpedoes.

As the warships were wiped out one by one, only the light cruiser was still resisting, and the attack aircraft group and torpedo boats began to allocate part of their forces to deal with the transport fleet.

"Shouldn't be here."

Looking at the destroyed warships one after another, the little devil commander regretted his past.

Just to save a distance of more than 1000 kilometers and choose a route close to the Republic of China, it shouldn't be!

"Why are there enemy planes here?"

At the last moment of being sunk, the devil commander was puzzled, but he had no chance to figure it out. With the sinking of the light cruiser, he also sank in the depths of the South China Sea.

Five hours later.

"Send a report to the regiment headquarters."

Wang Gensheng said:
"The devil fleet has been wiped out."

·····
noon that day.

Around the Palembang Oilfield.

A mountain peak, 12 meters high, is built of wooden beams, inside an air defense tower disguised as trees.

Sato Sato held up his binoculars and looked at the sky with a relaxed expression.

After Prime Minister Miney came to power, he began to repair the Palembang Oilfield that was damaged by the bombing. I don’t know where to buy second-hand oilfield equipment from the United States. The maintenance speed is very fast. A month ago, the oilfield resumed production, and just yesterday, the oilfield resumed production. the maximum output.

Even surpassed the level before the bombing.

A steady stream of fuel oil departs from Palembang to the mainland.

Of course the enemy also bombed.

But they strengthened the air defense measures, camouflaged the oil field facilities, the facilities were scattered, and the bombing effect was very poor. Even if there was some damage, they could quickly repair it.

Naturally, as the head of air defense, Sato Osamu has been very laid-back recently.

"Your Excellency, the enemy bombers are coming."

The phone rings and a message comes through.

"Humph."

"It's been so many times, and you still refuse to give up?"

Sato Osamu sneered, his expression still relaxed.

The main facilities of their oil fields are located between valleys and jungles. The high valleys block the fall of bombs and their power. The dense tropical rainforest also limits the sight of the sky.

Unless they could clear out the valley all at once, or clear out a patch of rainforest, the bombing would have no effect.

Thanks to their rich experience in being bombed, the devils reacted very quickly. The workers hid in the air-raid shelters one after another, and many devils hid in the anti-aircraft artillery positions, but they did not fire.

Due to the severe shortage of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, which are urgently needed on the front lines and in the local area, the anti-aircraft weapons deployed in Palembang are all 20 mm caliber, and the loss is very small, so it is basically just a show.

"The bomber is different this time."

Leisurely, Sato Sato looked at the thirty large 'bombers' and raised his eyebrows.

The bomber this time has only four engines and is much, much smaller.Raising the binoculars again, Sato stared at the thirty bombers he saw for the first time.

·····
"Arrived in the sky above the destination."

In the air, in the transport fleet, the navigator reported the position.

"Ready to bomb."

Looking at the dense rainforest below, Huang Quan, who was accompanying him, twitched his mouth and gave an order.

Thirty transport planes quickly changed formation. First, three planes lined up and flew towards the target. During the period, the tail cargo door was opened, and then three huge giant roller bombs fell.

As soon as it left the hatch, the drogue parachute at the rear opened, and the bomb fell to the ground at a rather slow speed.

The three bombs hadn't landed yet, and then the third wave of three bombs had left the tail bin, and preparations for the third wave had already begun.

"continue."

Seeing the skillful bomb throwing, the corners of Huang Quan's mouth still twitched slightly.

The power of the new air incendiary bombs is very suitable for dealing with this kind of terrain. As long as the current Devil's oilfield facilities are built on the ground, there is no need to run.

This is carpet bombing.

······
"What kind of bomb is this?"

Looking at the bombs falling in the sky, Osa Sato's pupils shrank.

He is a top student who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy. He fought against the North China Front Army and the Independent Regiment on the battlefield of the Republic of China. He knows that the enemy is not only well equipped and has sufficient supplies, but also very cunning at the command level.

There must be a reason for sending new bombers and new bombs this time. Maybe he found a way to bomb the imperial oil fields, so his expression was very solemn at this time.

"Order the repair team to get ready."

Sato Sato ordered quickly.

It was all he could do.

The bombs continued to fall, and all the devils also looked at the slowly falling bombs. The whole Palembang fell into an eerie silence, only the sound of engines roaring in the sky.

In the sky, the crews of the transport aircraft that dropped the bombs also set their sights on the falling bombs.

Although they have been tested many times in live ammunition training, this time is different. This time the bomb will explode on the enemy's head and around the enemy.

boom boom boom

In the sight of everyone, those giant bombs exploded before they hit the ground.

An unprecedented huge explosion wave vacated in everyone's field of vision. The violent explosion wave swept across a radius of hundreds of meters, and the gunpowder smoke completely covered a radius of hundreds of meters.

All the devils were stunned by this unprecedented explosion, including Sato Dazuo, all fell into silence.

They had never seen such a violent explosion in their entire life.

The bombs are still falling, the explosions are continuing, and the devils are still sluggish.

"Is this a bomb?"

Beside Sato Dazuo, a ghost, Nan Nan, was talking to himself.

As for Sato Sato, who was holding the seized [-]x binoculars, his face was pale.

He didn't know why the bomb was so powerful, comparable to the explosion of dozens of tons of explosives, and he didn't know why it could cover a radius of nearly 300 meters.

But he knew.

This kind of bomb is simply the nemesis of the rainforest. When one hits, within a few hundred meters, the rainforest that is difficult to ignite is also directly emptied. Faced with this kind of bomb, no matter how hidden the oil field facilities are, they cannot survive.

Thirty bombs were dropped quickly, and the aircraft group with no loss shook their wings and left leisurely.

Sato Dazuo hurriedly took people to the oilfield area for inspection.

"Thirty-seven oil wells were severely damaged and required restoration."

"The soldiers and workers in the air-raid shelter were all shattered, and the cause of death was suffocation."

The inspection situation made Sato Osamu dizzy for a while.

The 37 oil wells are equivalent to half of the here, and the production is directly halved, and the damage is so severe that it is almost impossible to repair.

Moreover, he sent maintenance personnel to the nearest air-raid shelter before, and then those maintenance personnel who were hiding in the ground at a depth of nearly ten meters died of suffocation for some reason.

"Report to the Prime Minister."

Sato Osamu was pale.

Although only half was lost, the enemy's bombing would continue, and there was nothing they could do.

······
45 years new year.

The subcontinental fleet was attacked and wiped out.

Bohai Bay fell, and dozens of divisions were routed northward.

The Nanyang Palembang Oilfield was bombed, and more than half of it was lost.

In this New Year's season, three pieces of news were quickly delivered to Minai Mitsumasa's underground prime minister's office.
