Chapter 1318: , one shot into the soul

Chapter 1318, one shot into the soul

night. The vast sea.

I can't see my fingers.

"Rumble..."

"Crash..."

Finally, after some tinkering, Zhang Yong flew the plane out of the water.

Sweating all over from exhaustion.

This thing is too difficult to operate.

It is said that it takes eight people to operate them all. But right now he's the only one.

Only basic takeoff and landing can be maintained. There is also the function of launching torpedoes. Don't even think about other strafing.

This is a semi-finished seaplane.

Appearance is intact. But there are a lot of missing features inside.

In other words, I haven't had time to install it yet. For example, a bombsight.

There are many hanging points on the aircraft. The bombs can be combined in many ways. Aerial bombs of all sizes can be mounted. It can hang up to 500 kilograms of aerial bombs.

It can also carry two heavyweight torpedoes.

Zhang Yong had little experience in dropping bombs. It probably won't hit either. So, choose torpedoes.

Two 646kg MARKX-3 attack torpedoes.

No wonder torpedoes are so powerful.

It easily weighs more than half a ton. Simply mounting it takes a lot of effort.

Finally, with the help of three American pilots, the torpedo was mounted.

Each person was given another $50 thank you fee.

Be generous.

We will meet often in the future.

Probably not four years later, before Lend-Lease came out.

These three American Navy pilots are all about to retire. It is very likely that Chennault will recruit him to come to China to join the volunteer team and work for money.

Chennault was no saint. They do things with money. But at that time, being able to do things for money was already amazing.

When others use money to go to heaven, they do it with real swords and guns. Will die just the same. So I have to thank the other person.

Suddenly a thought came to my mind.

Why wait for Chennault to recruit?

Why not recruit yourself? I also have dollars!

You can open a company in this beautiful country, buy stocks, and earn US dollars. The income should be good.

You can give U.S. dollars directly from the beautiful country. No need to change hands domestically. This way, there are many fewer restrictions on the use of U.S. dollars.

The key is, there is no need to let people in the country know. So as not to be touched again.

A beautiful country makes money, a beautiful national flower. convenient.

I guess those retired naval pilots from the United States are also willing.

With US$1,500 per month, we should be able to recruit many flying masters.

Well, you can consider it...

Before the beautiful country officially expanded its military, many retired pilots went to other countries to fight in the war.

Some came to China, some went to Spain, and some went to England.

"Rumble..."

The engine is too loud.

It seems like a tractor flying in the sky.

It can be heard five kilometers away.

Therefore, its stealth performance is very poor.

It may be difficult to approach a Japanese warship quietly. The Japanese invaders will hear it.

The maximum distance for launching torpedoes cannot exceed 500 meters.

In other words, it is approaching within 500 meters. This is too dangerous.

If the Japanese warships had searchlights and anti-aircraft machine guns, they could still pose a fatal threat.

what to do?

The advice of American pilots is to land from a high altitude, quickly release torpedoes, and then quickly fly sideways behind the target.

Generally speaking, all warships have the weakest firepower toward the rear.

Seaplanes are very slow to lift.

It is unrealistic to try to avoid incoming fire by climbing.

In the direction of flexibility, seaplanes have drawbacks. It's definitely not as flexible as a fighter jet.

The radar map showed that the plane was heading due east.

The Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga is to the east. About fifty kilometers away.

Zhang Yong’s target is of course not the Kaga aircraft carrier.

When I came up, I wanted to eat a big fat man. Not realistic. Easily beaten.

There must be other Japanese warships protecting the Kaga aircraft carrier. Hard to get close to.

Find the outermost one. The easiest to attack.

After all, he is a newbie. No experience. You can only brush some weak wild monsters.

It’s best to have the most prominent angle. Find the right angle and launch the torpedo. Regardless of whether it hits or not, it quickly turns and flies away.

Switch world map.

Toggle empty finger map.

Toggle various flags.

Compare carefully.

Finally, in the far southeast corner, a lone Japanese warship was found.

Because it was in the far southeast, the Japanese warship was relatively far away from the accomplices. There were no other Japanese warships within a radius of thirty kilometers.

good!

This is it.

Lone ship. Can attack from any angle.

Even if it is attacked, nearby warships will not have time to provide support. Can run away quickly.

Do it!

Climb.

Raise the altitude to 3000 meters.

This was to prevent the Japanese warship from hearing the sound of the engine and prepare early.

Approach quietly from the south.

10 kilometers…

5 kilometers…

Start lowering the altitude.

The goal is very clear.

I don’t know which class of Japanese warship it is.

It was impossible to see clearly in the dark. There are no hints on the map either. You can only rely on the red dot to judge.

The number of red dots is around a hundred. Maybe a destroyer?

No matter, let me send you two torpedoes first.

Practice as a novice.

Descending altitude.

Keep up the speed.

Fly directly towards the Japanese warship.

Will the Japanese invaders hear the sound of the engine?

It should.

However, it took time for the Japanese invaders to respond.

They never expected that there would be a night attack by planes in the middle of the night.

You must know that in this era, planes cannot fly at night. Especially on the sea. Night flying is an absolute dead end.

Continue to lower the height.

400 meters…

200 meters…

50 meters…

It almost flew close to the water.

Seaplanes have this ability. Can fly close to the sea.

Other fighter jets are too close to the water. If they are hit by waves, there may be a tragedy on the spot. But seaplanes are not afraid.

It really doesn't work. You can also land directly on the water.

It’s just a bit slow…

Compared with the later-generation Mustang P-51 fighter jets, this PBY seaplane is simply a snail!

The distance is getting closer.

1000 meters…

800 meters…

500 meters…

Finally, we entered torpedo launching distance.

However, Zhang Yong did not launch because the Japanese warships had not yet responded.

There are no searchlights.

There are no anti-aircraft machine guns.

Nothing.

It seemed as if the Japanese invaders were all asleep.

Radar maps show that the red dots move infrequently.

300 meters…

The distance is closer.

Finally, the Japanese warships responded.

Lights are constantly being lit. The red dot moves more frequently.

Decisively launch torpedoes.

It's exactly a straight line. It should hit.

According to the radar map, there should be too much deviation.

"Pfft!"

Two torpedoes fell into the water.

Two wavy lines are looming. Disappears quickly.

Zhang Yong immediately turned around. Fly east. Stay away from Japanese warships. To avoid being hit back.

Vaguely, Japanese soldiers could be seen watching the excitement on the deck of the Japanese warship. But no fire was fired.

accelerate.

Fly far.

Count the time silently.

The radar map shows two torpedo marks approaching the red dot.

finally…

There seemed to be light coming from behind.

It seems like a torpedo hit?

But no explosion was heard. Maybe it hasn’t come yet?

"Rumble..."

After a while, the explosion was faintly heard.

But amidst the roar of the engine, the explosion from far behind seemed weak.

Fly sideways.

Look back.

I found that there was indeed a fire behind me.

It should be the fire of a torpedo explosion. It seems like both torpedoes hit?

The Japanese warship was definitely doomed that day.

The two torpedoes are still in the 600 kilogram level. Even the light cruiser can be killed.

Sure enough, the radar map showed that the number of red dots decreased rapidly. There are only twenty or thirty left. The others were probably killed on the spot.

good!

Sure enough, night is his home court.

Including the night sky. And the sea at night. It’s all Zhang Yong’s track!

Two torpedoes. Easy hit.

Unfortunately, the target was only the Japanese destroyer.

It would be nice if it was a light cruiser. Two torpedoes can also destroy it.

But heavy cruisers and battleships should not be possible...

Huh?

Suddenly, there is a record in the system.

Under the division number, there is an additional ship symbol.

Is this considered his record?

no. Please write in more detail! Please indicate what type of battleship it is!

However…

The system is unresponsive. Had to give up.

I felt secretly happy again. There was no one around. There is no need to suppress it.

Very happy smile.

real.

I didn't expect it to be so easy.

Just two torpedoes sank a Japanese warship. Killed dozens of people.

Compared with the number of soldiers in the Red Deer Army, dozens of Japanese invaders were really not worthy of mention. However, there was also a Japanese warship buried with him!

Even the oldest Fengfeng-class destroyer is still a big deal to China.

In the past, I tried to destroy a Japanese destroyer in Hazaobang and used so many 75mm field guns, but they failed.

Turns out, two torpedoes...actually, maybe just one. He was still sloppy.

If he only fires one torpedo. There is only one left. Maybe I can find new goals now.

Too sloppy…

I suffered the loss of inexperience.

That's it for newbies.

No one takes it. You can only explore by yourself.

But every step of the way makes you wiser. I should learn it myself next time.

Of course, Zhang Yong is already very satisfied with such results. So, you can be happy and smile widely.

At the same time, I found it a bit addictive. Want to come again.

It's more exciting than hanging out with beautiful women. It's a man after all. I definitely want to do something big.

When did the Yamato Hotel blow up...

Oh, it can't explode.

Maximum of two torpedoes. It was impossible to sink the Yamato Hotel.

However, Yamato Inn can definitely be hurt. The same was true for other Japanese battleships.

As long as it is hit by a torpedo, it will definitely need to return to Hong Kong for overhaul.

hey-hey.

So happy…

So cool…

【Your adventure experience increases】

[Your power +1]

The system suddenly prompted.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

More strength? Is there no upper limit?

Do you want to hang the torpedo with one hand?

Damn...

That’s a big guy weighing over 600 kilograms!

Simply rely on handwork. So exhausted.

However, as a secret weapon, it is impossible for him to find the forklift!

Besides, there may not be forklifts in the entire China. The bombs of the National Air Force are all lightweight. Three people can carry it.

frown.

Thinking about how to mount torpedoes secretly...

Return.

It would be nice to have a radar map.

You can clearly know the southeast, northwest, and distance on the world map.

If there is no radar map, no matter how good the pilot is, he will be a little bit murmuring inwardly. It's easy to get out, but it's hard to get back.

For all carrier-based aircraft, it is troublesome to fly back after flying out.

The beautiful country also has a navigator. That thing is so expensive. It is also difficult to manufacture.

The Japanese invaders did not have carrier-based aircraft and could only rely on the pilots' memory and calculations. If the calculations are wrong, big problems can arise.

For example, I almost landed on the aircraft carrier of the United States Navy. As a result, the US aircraft carrier was also stunned. Still ready to receive it!

Finally found something wrong. It's a Japanese aircraft. Quickly fire and shoot.

What a big mistake.

Fly quietly.

At this moment, the Japanese navy was already in trouble.

"Nani?"

"Lost contact?"

Formation commander Suga Hikojiro thought there was something wrong.

It is very possible that the radio on the warship is malfunctioning. However, there is a backup radio station! No response when calling the backup station?

Was it an attack? Sunk?

Then things get serious.

Who did it?

How?

"Baga!"

Urgently dispatch warships for reinforcements.

At the same time, an urgent report was made to the commander of the Third Fleet, Kiyoshi Hasegawa.

"Loss of contact?"

"at night?"

"Accident?"

Hasegawa Kiyoshi received the report and thought there was an accident.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been an attack. It was night after all. Even if there were enemies, it would be impossible to attack at night.

It couldn't be an artillery battle.

If it was an artillery battle, it would have been reported long ago.

It is impossible for an artillery battle to sink a warship without any reaction.

Unless it's an accident...

For example, self-destruction...

This has happened before.

Ammunition depots are poorly managed. Or there is a hidden danger. Then it explodes.

Then the entire warship exploded violently. Then sank.

So the radio station had no time to respond.

Send a warship to check.

In the darkness, the aircraft carrier's aircraft did not dare to take off. We can only rely on battleship search.

The nearby warships came in a hurry.

Finally arrived at the target sea area. Turn on the searchlight. Search everywhere.

I found that there were only floating debris on the sea. There are also struggling Japanese sailors. Get people in a hurry.

Although hit by two torpedoes. The destroyer sank instantly. But there are still sailors who survived.

Ask about the situation. Valid and precise information is never available.

The only thing that’s certain is—

"airplane!"

"torpedo!"

"airplane!"

"torpedo!"

The Japanese sailors insisted.

The warship was sunk by torpedoes dropped by aircraft appearing in the dark.

Some sailors saw a straight line of waves on the sea before the warship exploded. It can be concluded that it is the trace of the torpedo's advance.

So, here comes the question...

Where did the plane come from?

Whose plane is it?

Why can we fly at night?

Why was it possible to accurately hit the Japanese warships at night?

The last two questions are the scariest.

Who has mastered night flying? Can you still hit the target accurately at night?

Is it the American Navy?

Never heard of it!

British Royal Navy?

French?

German?

Suga Hikojiro was puzzled.

I don't think it's possible.

at night. airplane. torpedo. What a coincidence.

It would be a fantasy to be able to accurately attack a warship at night and prepare to hit it.

It was most likely those sailors talking nonsense. Or unified caliber.

Finally, a truthful report from Kiyoshi Hasegawa.

"Attack?"

"airplane?"

"torpedo?"

Hasegawa Kiyoshi was dubious.

Based on common sense, it seems unlikely.

Who has such a powerful ability that can hit a target at night?

It is more likely to be an accident. Or coincidence.

Finally, I thought about it and decided to report the truth to the Naval Command.

Let General Yamamoto fifty-six go have a headache. There is nothing you can do below.

"Send the order!"

"Tie!"

"From now on, all warships must be on night watch. Air defense must be continuous 24 hours a day."

"Tie!"

Orders were quickly issued to various warships.

Although, Kiyoshi Hasegawa judged that an attack was unlikely.

However, necessary defensive measures must still be actively implemented.

At the same time, the aircraft carrier Kaga was ordered to quietly move eastward. A little further from the coastline. To avoid being attacked again.

What if it was attacked by land-based aircraft?

It may be from a secret airport on the Chinese mainland. It was the land-based aircraft that carried the torpedoes.

Probably not one. Maybe he's here to explore the road.

Perhaps, there will be more attacks in the future. It must be guarded against.

So, what about air support for the Songhu battlefield? To **** with him!

That's Army Red Deer.

The Navy's Red Deer has already lost one battleship and it is impossible to lose a second one.

There is no benefit at all from helping the Army Red Deer. Your own losses are all calculated into naval military expenses. Army Red Deer will not subsidize a penny.

"Strengthen the alert to the east."

"Tie!"

After thinking for a while, Hasegawa Kiyoshi gave another order.

What if it is the navy of a certain country hidden in the darkness? You can’t help but be on guard…

…

Zhang Yong successfully returned to the rocky harbor.

He felt that this place was actually not very good. The main reason is that it is too far away from the battlefield.

It is difficult to fly a plane anytime and anywhere. I still have to run this way.

What if this place is occupied by Japanese invaders in the future?

Suddenly I remembered a place.

Taihu Lake.

It seems like you can land in Taihu Lake?

The seaplane can definitely land on Taihu Lake!

As long as there is a relatively wide water area, it can land.

The take-off distance is about 500 meters.

In other words, as long as the width of the water surface exceeds 500 meters, it can take off.

It seems that there are many lakes in China with such width.

Taihu…

Poyang Lake…

Dongting Lake…

Even Dianchi Lake in Kunming!

If that doesn't work, could we find a bigger river and take off?

right!

Let’s go to Taihu Lake first!

Take off and land right at Taihu Lake!

The Japanese invaders were completely confused.

It just so happened that Taihu Lake was not far from the Japanese warships.

A combat radius of 2,000 kilometers is completely sufficient.

Taihu Lake is an area controlled by the National Army. Access at your own convenience. You can also mobilize your cronies to be vigilant. Prevent information leakage.

Say goodbye to MacFarlane immediately. Said he wanted to change places.

Then, fly the plane and continue taking off. Flying towards Taihu Lake.

In the darkness, we successfully landed in Taihu Lake.

I happened to have a close encounter with a fishing boat fishing at night.

"ah…"

The poor old fisherman was so frightened that he was trembling all over.

What?

Why did it suddenly fall from the sky?

Can you still run on water?

Then…

"Crash..."

The poor little fishing boat was overturned on the spot.
