The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand
Chapter 627 The Prepared Fourth Fleet
The principal of Wu Jiedao Zhenyi only cared about the students who had survived by chance. He hoped that these students could understand his good intentions.
The principal was teaching the students to be patriotic, but the students were thinking about rescuing the injured.
Obviously, his good intentions were not understood by these students. Some students were busy pressing the wounds of their injured classmates, trying to reduce the amount of blood flowing out.
The wounds caused by machine gun bullets could not be stopped by these students with just one hand. These students, who had no knowledge of battlefield first aid, could only do so much.
However, the devils of the first and second brigades had some knowledge of battlefield first aid, but they didn't stop for even a second and were still trying to escape into the distance.
As adults, these devils were well aware that if a fighter plane could strafe the first wave, it could come back for another wave.
Soon, Jiang Yuanwu led the fighter planes back, and the second wave of strafing began.
The second wave of strafing caused heavy casualties to the third and fourth infantry battalions, who were still on the highway. These devils had only undergone a little training and were still students in the morning.
Now, after being attacked, whether they were lucky enough to be uninjured or wounded, they looked at the fallen corpses everywhere and the blood flowing all over the highway.
These devils felt like they were in hell. At this time, the principal of Wu Jiedao Zhenyi had jumped off the truck, and he no longer continued to mobilize the students.
He believed that everything on the scene was the best education for the students. Masha Jiuichi was a senior high school student, and he had decided to join the battle after graduation.
After seeing all of this today, he suddenly asked, "Are we treating them like this over there too?"
No one answered!
After a while, a classmate said, "I guess that's how it is!"
……
After two rounds of strafing, the devils had learned their lesson. They no longer stayed on the highway or gathered together. They all scattered and hid in the fields.
The news that the team sent to attack the airport had been attacked shortly after leaving the city quickly reached the ears of Commander Jimi Hangtai.
He was still conscripting more reservists and organizing more people to attack the airport when he received the news, and all of Commander Jimi Hangtai's fantasies were shattered.
But he still had to clean up the mess and continue the attack!
Even if he couldn't capture the airport, he had to at least make a gesture of attacking the airport. It would be absolutely unacceptable for the team to scatter ten kilometers away from the airport, as it was now.
Jimi Hangtai, the garrison commander, could only order the medical team that had been organized to quickly rescue the wounded who had fallen in the pools of blood.
He personally led more than 400 devils who had been conscripted later to collect the several battalions of infantry that had been scattered.
The machine gun strafing of ten fighter planes could not wipe out more than 5,000 devils. In fact, only a small number of devils were killed or wounded. Most of the devils ran into the fields to hide.
Some of the devils who ran fast were already on their way back to the city at this time. These devils encountered Commander Jimi Hangtai's team.
They were immediately stopped and ordered to continue to the airport.
Commander Jimi Hangtai had changed his amiable and approachable attitude in the city. Now he had put on airs and showed no kindness to these deserters.
He ordered the devils who followed him out of the city, "Anyone who disobeys orders and tries to escape will be subject to battlefield discipline."
In the current situation, Commander Jimi Hangtai felt that if he didn't shoot a few devils who deserted, he wouldn't be able to maintain discipline.
If the discipline was not maintained, these devils would sneak away and run away during the march.
Gao Qiao Zhengshu was the president of Saga County Hospital, and this time he was forcibly conscripted by Jimi Hangtai to be the captain of the field medical team. While it was still in the county town, with its 2,000-member medical team, it received an order:
Speed up and leave the city. The devils in front have been attacked by air, and a large number of wounded are struggling in pools of blood.
Gao Qiao Zhengshu didn't want to leave the city at all, but he was afraid that Commander Jimi Hangtai would use him as an example to establish his authority. He had no choice but to lead his men out of the city quickly.
The female students followed behind one by one, excitedly discussing that they could contribute to the empire's soldiers.
Jimi Hangtai was a very clever devil. He divided hundreds of his men into detachments, squads, and companies according to the formal organization, and appointed captains for each.
Now, he wanted the teams to collect the scattered devils in units of detachments, gather them together, and prepare to move forward.
While they were busy here, Lin Fan led the aviation brigade straight to the Wu Naval Port.
The special brigade's aircraft group rushed into the cloud that Shuangye Tailang had flown out of, but did not find any other aircraft shadows.
"This is the devil's reconnaissance plane!" Lin Fan and Mao Wenxing's judgments were the same.
Although Shuangye Tailang had already been crushed to pieces in the air, he had still sent the news of the special brigade's fighter planes back.
The shrill air raid siren immediately sounded over the Wu Naval Port.
After receiving the report, Commander Songxia Yuan immediately judged that the target of the special brigade's aviation squadron was very likely to be his location.
After all, the Kobe Naval Port had been almost destroyed. There was not much effect in bombing it again.
But the situation of the Fourth Naval Fleet was a bit awkward now. They didn't have a single fighter plane of their own, but they still had hundreds of bombers.
Although bombers could not fight fighter planes, they could only be targets when parked on the deck.
Commander Songxia Yuan ordered all the bombers to take off immediately and transfer to the land airport in the rear.
At the same time, he ordered all the warships in the naval port to be ready for battle and ordered the air defense team to prepare to fire.
The special brigade's fighter group was still 100 kilometers away, and the entire Wu Naval Port was on high alert and ready for air defense.
Five minutes later, Guan Guohao's squadron encountered the devil's second reconnaissance plane, but this reconnaissance plane was very cunning. As soon as it saw the fighter group from a distance, it immediately turned and flew away.
It didn't stop at all, and its quick movements made it impossible for Yan Gaofei to chase it.
After receiving the report again, Commander Songxia Yuan of the Devil's Fourth Naval Fleet could already confirm that the special brigade's fighter group was coming for the Fourth Fleet.
At this time, the bombers in the fleet had not been completely evacuated. After all, the distance of 100 kilometers only took the fighter group more than ten minutes.
Such a short time was not enough for all 100 bombers to take off from the warships. Chaimiya Zhiya looked at the bomber just rising from the hangar, and was extremely anxious.
He had just received the order to drive the bomber to the rear land airport.
Chaimiya Zhiya didn't understand. Hiroshima was already the hinterland of the empire. If this wasn't the rear, could it be the front line?
Listening to the continuous air raid siren, he felt a lot of pressure in his heart. The enemy planes were coming to attack, and he heard that they had completely destroyed the Kobe Naval Port.
If he couldn't fly the bomber sooner, it would be too late.
While he was thinking this, the bomber finally took its place. He could get on the plane. After covering the cockpit, Chaimiya Zhiya immediately drove the plane onto the runway and lined up. There were two bombers in front of him, waiting to take off.
At this moment, he heard the sound of artillery!
The air defense team, which had been on high alert for a long time, immediately opened fire when they saw planes coming from the sky.
Despite being prepared, the devil's fierce anti-aircraft fire still surprised Squadron Leader Guan Guohao. It also surprised Mao Wenxing. With such fierce anti-aircraft fire from the devils, they couldn't swarm up like they did at the Kobe Naval Port.
He immediately ordered, "The First Aviation Squadron attacks from the southeast, the Second Squadron attacks from the northwest, and the Third Squadron patrols in the air to protect the tankers.
The four bomber squadrons cut in from four directions respectively."
After receiving the order, Squadron Leader Guan Guohao immediately ordered, "Cut in from the southeast according to the squad organization, and suppress the firepower on the devil's anti-aircraft positions on the mountain first!"
The battle entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning. Dozens of fighter planes dispersed and swooped down towards the devil's positions from all directions.
Yan Gaofei drove his fighter plane down to a low altitude in one fell swoop. He wanted to be as low as the devil's position before rushing over.
There were many planes in the air, and the devils had a lot of cannons, but most of them were firing at high altitudes. Such low-flying fighter planes rushed over.
Their anti-aircraft fire at low altitudes was indeed much sparse. Yan Gaofei was not the only one doing this from low altitude. All six fighter planes in his squad did the same.
When they were still 2,000 meters away from the devil's anti-aircraft position, Yan Gaofei had already opened fire!
He aimed at a gun position on the devil's position and fired three machine gun shells in succession.
After receiving the order to prepare for battle, Squad Leader Da Jing Tian Youxi immediately led the devils of the entire squad to start operating in front of the anti-aircraft guns.
They already knew that the aircraft group that came to attack was coming from the Saga direction, so the anti-aircraft guns were of course aimed in that direction.
When he spotted the plane, he was the first to direct the anti-aircraft guns to fire. When he discovered that the other side's fighter plane was actually attacking at low altitude.
He was also the first to order the anti-aircraft guns to be lowered to the lowest firing angle to fire.
Although they had not shot down a single plane, their actions still made the special brigade's planes dare not be too arrogant.
Just as Squad Leader Da Jing Tian Youxi was watching the planes getting closer and closer, they were already close to a distance of 2,000 meters, he ordered, "Stop for a moment!"
He wanted to wait until the planes were a little closer before firing. This would make it more accurate.
Just as they were relying on it, the opposite plane actually fired!
"They actually have cannons too?" This was somewhat beyond Squad Leader Da Jing Tian Youxi's expectations.
Before he could give a new order, the shells had already exploded in front of the gun position. Taking advantage of the time when the devil's anti-aircraft guns stopped, Yan Gaofei fired three shells first.
Seeing that the devil's cannons were not firing, the plane had rushed closer at this time. The machine guns began to strafe, and the devils of Da Jing Tian Youxi's squad had just experienced the bombing.
Then they were subjected to fierce machine gun strafing, and the devils in the squad fell down in droves. Yan Gaofei cut in from this direction, and sent three shells to the devil's gun positions.
He knew clearly that he only had a total of 100 shells, and he had already used a lot in the previous air combat.
If he continued to use them like this, he would soon run out of shells. But he couldn't not use them in this situation!
The five fighter planes following Yan Gaofei were the same, giving the devil's gun positions a round of bombing.
After the fighter planes swept over, the bombers in the high altitude could finally swoop down and drop bombs one by one on these positions.
Commander Songxia Yuan stood on his flagship, watching the flames and explosions everywhere on the positions around the naval port.
Looking at the surrounding warships, many of the bombers in the high altitude dared not swoop down, but dropped bombs in the high altitude and swept past.
Many fighter planes were traveling between the warships. They flew extremely low, as if they could grab these fighter planes with a hand.
Commander Songxia Yuan had already understood that these fighter planes were all equipped with cannons. They relied on their nimble movements to fly close to the warships and bombard the warships.
The anti-aircraft fire on the warships was quickly crippled. There were no rounds in such attacks, as if they were continuous.
His feeling was indeed good. The fighter planes that attacked from all directions attacked the gun positions on the naval port fortress, and then rushed into the naval port and opened fire on the warships parked in the naval port.
Although the anti-aircraft gun positions on the warships could rotate at large angles, they could not withstand the bombing of fighter planes flying from several directions at the same time.
This was not the end. After the fighter planes crippled the entire fleet's anti-aircraft fire, the bombers made a grand appearance.
They changed their appearance of only dropping bombs in the high altitude, but this time they swept past at low altitude, and bombs were constantly dropped from under the belly of the planes.
These bombs exploded continuously in the naval port.
Chaimiya Zhiya finally took off in the battlefield full of artillery fire. His luck was bad, really bad.
Just as he flew up, he was chased by a fighter plane behind him, and soon turned into a ball of flames and crashed into a warship.
Squadron Leader Zhu Qingmao led the fighter planes to protect the tankers. They were more than ten kilometers away from the battlefield. Originally, they would not participate in the battle.
But while patrolling in the high altitude, they discovered the direction in which the devil's bombers were retreating.
When Mao Wenxing received Squadron Leader Zhu's report, he also learned that the devil's defensive strength at the Wu Naval Port was already in tatters.
He immediately ordered, "Send two companies to pursue the devil's bombers."
