Chapter 1071: Intercept and kill Yamamoto Shichihachi!
Although the Japs’ radar performance in World War II was very poor.
However, the radar performance of the US Navy during World War II was still very advanced.
Moreover, the U.S. Navy has set up many lookout posts and observation posts along the coasts of various islands.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, this combat mission must be more cautious.
But fortunately, Boss Chen provided detailed information.
These detailed intelligence data calibrated the radar ranges of the Japanese and American troops, as well as the locations of Japanese and American lookout posts and observation posts on the coastline.
Based on these detailed intelligence materials, Wang Hexin and Li Shaorong formulated a perfect flight plan.
It can be said.
Without Boss Chen's intelligence and technical support, Li Yunlong would not have been able to complete the mission of killing General Yamamoto.
I don't even know the old devil Yamamoto's itinerary.
The No. 8 aircraft carrier ground crew and engineers are doing final aircraft maintenance, fuel and ammunition inspections.
soon.
The time came to 7:25.
"Set off!"
As the order is given.
Wang Hexin, Li Shaorong and a group of elite ace pilots got into the jet carrier aircraft one after another.
The flight deck of the Balu Yunlong ship adopts a new design. The entire deck forms three operating areas for landing, takeoff and standby, and can take off and land at the same time.
and!
The take-off of the carrier-based aircraft is steam ejection, which greatly improves the take-off efficiency with the four elevators on the side.
In less than 3 minutes, all 15 carrier-based jet fighters of the Eighth Route Army had completed takeoff.
As the ace and elite pilot of the Eighth Route Army, every pilot took off from the deck with perfect fluency and perfect skills, as if they had been tempered thousands of times.
While training at Boss Chen's military base.
Every pilot has undergone extensive aircraft carrier deck landing and takeoff training.
Captain Song and the crew members of the Eighth Route Army looked towards the direction in which the carrier-based aircraft left and saluted solemnly.
It wasn't until the fighter jet formation disappeared from sight that the soldiers lowered their hands and looked back.
…
at the same time.
Guadalcanal.
US Army Henderson Airport.
There is a tense atmosphere in the air.
On the runway of the airport, 18 P38 Lightning fighter jets from the 330th Group of the US Air Force were neatly arranged on the auxiliary runway, ready to attack.
Major General Mitchell wore a long-billed battle cap, his face was bronzed, and his serious eyes were fixed on the fighter plane that was about to take off.
Then, Mitchell glanced at the handsome young men who were about to set off, and said in a stern tone:
"December 7, 1941, I hope all Americans will remember that day, because that day is the day of national humiliation for our country!"
"That day, four of our warships were sunk by the Japanese, and three of our warships were damaged by the Japanese!"
"More than 2,000 of our comrades were killed and more than 1,000 were injured!"
"And the initiator of all this is none other than Commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet Yamamoto Shichihachi!"
As expected, as soon as Major General Mitchell finished speaking, the pilots standing in two rows opposite immediately became excited.
"Kill Yamamoto Nanahachi!"
"Kill all the little devils!"
"..."
Looking at the pilots who were aroused, Major General Mitchell showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
Very good, no pilot is timid, everyone is doing a good job.
Major General Mitchell glanced at the watch on his hand. It was 7:30.
"At this time, that old devil Yamamoto is already in the air."
Major General Mitchell continued to issue orders in a stern tone:
"Let's go, boys, let's kill Yamamoto and avenge Pearl Harbor!"
As Major General Mitchell's order was issued.
P38 Lightning fighter jets loaded with fuel and ammunition took off one after another.
However, two P38 fighter jets malfunctioned and failed to take off. Only 10 of the originally planned 12 aircraft took off.
…
The time soon came to two hours later.
That is 9:30.
The Japanese flight formation has arrived over an island.
Yamamoto Nanaba looked down from an altitude of 2,000 meters, and below was a lush rainforest.
The gray-haired Yamamoto Shichihachi is sitting upright, with his white-gloved hands holding the general's sword given by Tian Locust, and carrying three gold cherry blossoms on his epaulette.
At this time, Yamamoto Qiba showed a leisurely look on his face.
He recalled the battles he had commanded against the Japanese Navy and the American Navy in the past few years.
Although the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor failed to completely destroy the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet, it also caused great trauma to the other side.
Immediately, the Japanese army and navy attacked Southeast Asia. The British and American forces in Southeast Asia had no support and were defeated by the locust army.
As a result, the locust army obtained a large number of strategic materials such as oil fields and rubber, and occupied millions of square kilometers of land.
It can be said to be a glorious moment.
But everyone has a moment of glory, don't take a moment as eternity.
Just as Yamamoto Nanahachi worried about when he planned the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the real strength of the American army lies in its strong industrial strength.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the American army did not return to the negotiating table as expected, but chose to go head-on with the Japanese army.
The war potential of the United States was completely stimulated, and warships dropped into the sea like dumplings.
then.
Yamamoto Nanahachi planned the Battle of Midway to further destroy the American fleet so that the Japanese navy could concentrate on consolidating defenses on the Pacific island chain.
The battle planning process for the Battle of Midway was fraught with compromise and haste.
But in Yamamoto's opinion at the time, the plan itself was quite thorough, well-organized, and the timing was well grasped.
The Japanese army planned to use 4 fleet aircraft carriers, 2 light aircraft carriers, 11 battleships, 16 cruisers and 46 destroyers for the decisive battle. The U.S. Navy only had 3 aircraft carriers, 8 cruisers and 15 destroyers, which shows the disparity in strength.
When Yamamoto was formulating the battle plan, he looked at the disparity in strength between the two sides and said in his heart: The advantage is mine.
If nothing else happens, Yamamoto will have a huge one-sided advantage.
If nothing happens, an accident will happen soon.
Because the U.S. Navy deciphered the Japanese Navy's D code and completely grasped the Japanese Navy's combat plan, coupled with the wrong command of Nagumo Chuichi, a scumbag teammate.
In the Battle of Midway, Japan lost 4 aircraft carriers, 1 heavy cruiser, 322 aircraft and 3,500 officers and soldiers, and 1 battleship and 2 destroyers were damaged.
Of course, the failure of the Battle of Midway was not enough to put the Japanese navy at a disadvantage.
In the next few naval battles, Yamamoto gradually felt that something was wrong.
Especially in the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Japanese army suffered a disastrous defeat with a casualty ratio of 10 to 1. Yamamoto knew that the battle must be fought quickly to destroy the main force of the American navy as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if this cruel war of attrition continues, the locust army will be defeated.
At this time, the Japanese navy could only be on the defensive.
So at this time, Yamamoto Shichihachi decided to inspect the Rabaul military base to boost the morale of the frontline troops.
The results of this inspection were very gratifying. After being inspired, the aviation unit of the Rabaul military base actually saw a surge in combat effectiveness.
Several air strikes destroyed more than 50 warships and more than 300 aircraft of the US Navy.
The U.S. Navy in New Guinea and Guadalcanal only has this much wealth.
Seeing that the effect of his inspection of the troops was so obvious, Yamamoto Nanahachi stubbornly decided to inspect all frontline bases to improve the morale and combat effectiveness of all troops!
Then, they defeated the main force of the U.S. Navy in one fell swoop and captured Guadalcanal and New Guinea.
From then on, we attacked and defended the aliens!
Thinking of defeating the U.S. Pacific Fleet as soon as possible, Yamamoto Shichihachi became more and more looking forward to this inspection of the frontline military base.
A smile appeared on Yamamoto Shichihachi's face, he looked at the Colonel's staff who was accompanying him and asked: "Where are you?"
The colonel's staff didn't know either, so he went to ask the navigator, then returned to Yamamoto Shichihachi and replied: "General, we have arrived at Bougainville Island."
At this time, Yamamoto Nanahachi and several staff officers were on board No. 1, escorted by three Zero fighter jets.
Yamamoto Nanahachi's chief of staff, Lieutenant General Uhon Matoi, and several other staff members were on board No. 2, which was also escorted by three Zero fighter jets.
After a pause, Staff Officer Dazuo continued: "There are still about 15 minutes to arrive at Buyin Airport."
"Yoshi."
Yamamoto Qiha nodded with satisfaction.
After having lunch at Bouin Airport and inspecting the troops, you can then take a 15-minute flight to Shortland Island, the final destination of your trip.
In the past few days, Yamamoto has not been idle. He is already working on formulating operational plans and contingency plans to eliminate the last remaining navy of the United States.
In this battle, he not only personally formulated the battle plan and emergency plan, but also prepared to go to the front line to command the Locust Army and Navy in combat.
When he comes to the front line in person, he will definitely be able to inspire and motivate all the soldiers, defeat the US Navy in one fell swoop, and complete a dramatic comeback.
This is a battle for national destiny.
Yamamoto was a little excited when he thought about it.
The U.S. fighter jet formation had already arrived over the rainforest of Bougainville Island, arriving at its scheduled location about 50 seconds earlier than expected.
Lieutenant Lanfield, who was the leader of the attack group, was the first to discover the Japanese flying formation.
Lieutenant Lanphier said excitedly on the radio channel: "Hey, look what I saw?"
"Lanphier, you idiot, you must maintain radio silence during the flight. Do you want to go to court martial?"
Major Michel, the leader of the cover team, was concentrating on searching for the Japanese flight formation. A sharp voice sounded in his headset, and he immediately replied unhappily.
"Wait, have you found the target?"
The next second, Major Michel's voice sounded on the channel again, his tone full of impatience.
"That's right, sir!" Lanphier said loudly, "The target was found at 10 o'clock. Two Type 1 land attack aircraft, escorted by 6 fighter jets. It's Type Zero!"
"It turned out to be just like the promised party, it came as promised."
Major Michel, following the direction indicated by Lanphier, quickly discovered the Japanese flight formation.
At this time, the Japanese flight formation had obviously not discovered the American formation.
"Follow the plan." Major Michel immediately gave the order over the radio, "The cover team will follow me."
Major Michel, piloting a P38 fighter jet, together with five other P38 fighter jets, immediately gradually pulled the aircraft to an altitude of 3,000 meters to lure the Japanese escort fighter jets.
"Attack team, follow me, send me secrets! Send me secrets!"
Lanphier also gave orders on the radio channel and led the four fighter jets to quickly lower their altitude.
Wait for the cover team to attract the Japanese fighter jets away.
Lanphier's attack group suddenly rushed out from below and killed two Japanese Type 1 attack aircraft.
The plan is very thorough.
…
But right now.
An interception formation composed of 15 jet fighters of the Eighth Route Army also arrived.
Wang Hexin, the leader of the cover team, was the first to discover the Japanese flying formation.
"Target found at 30 degrees to the left front!"
Immediately, Wang Hexin looked happy and said loudly on the radio in surprise.
The old devil Yamamoto Nanahachi really showed up. As expected, they traveled 6,000 to 7,000 kilometers and came to intercept him!
In this air interception, the Eighth Route Army's air force was also divided into a cover group and an attack group.
The cover group consists of 6 fighter jets, with Wang Hexin as the leader; the attack group has 7 fighter jets, with Li Shaorong as the leader.
The other two pilots were responsible for taking photos and leaving evidence.
The Eighth Route Army pilots looked towards the position conveyed by Wang Hexin, and sure enough they saw the Japanese flying formation.
At this time, two Type 1 attack aircraft with plaster icons on their black fuselages fluttered forward rapidly under the escort of six Zero fighter jets.
"Cover team, cover, attack team follow me!"
The leader of the attack team, Li Shaorong, gave a cruel smile and gave a stern order over the radio.
"Wait a minute, there are other planes!"
But the next moment, the voice of an elite pilot sounded:
"Two aircraft formations were discovered on the upper right and lower right of the Japanese formation!"
Li Shaorong and Wang Hexin raised their telescopes and looked, and sure enough, they found two formations above and below the Japanese flying formation.
"It's the US Air Force, they arrived before us, and they are already ready to take action!"
Wang Hexin said urgently on the radio.
Once the Americans are allowed to kill Yamamoto Qihachi, their trip will be in vain, and the business of killing the Japanese admiral will be gone.
"Yeah!"
Li Shaorong cursed:
"No more tactics, move forward at full speed, the attack team will be responsible for the one on the right, and the cover team will be responsible for the one on the left."
"We must kill Yamamoto before the Americans do!"
"Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"
In a word, Yamamoto Qiba can only be killed by our Eighth Route Army!
Americans are not easy to use either.
Time was running out, so Li Shaorong could only keep the story short.
Fortunately, all pilots can understand Li Shaorong's words.
The attack group is responsible for killing the Japanese-1 bomber on the right, and the cover group is responsible for killing the Japanese-1 bomber on the left.
This old devil, Yamamoto Nanahachi, must be on one of the two Type 1 bombers.
As he spoke, the fighter jets had quickly changed their flight formation and approached the Japanese flight formation at high speed.
…
at the same time.
Japanese military flight formation.
The pilot of Yamamoto's Seven-Eight Japanese Aircraft No. 1 was carefully flying a Type 1 land bomber.
In the cabin at the back was the Navy's second-in-command, Admiral Yamamoto Nanahachi, who couldn't help but be careless.
Yamamoto Nanahachi is the soul of the United Fleet, and his safety is absolutely the top priority.
suddenly.
The pilot of Jiazi No. 1 saw something strange happening in an escorting Zero fighter.
The escorting Zero fighter jets suddenly broke away from the flight formation, and actually accelerated and jumped in front of the bomber.
Moreover, the Zero fighter also swung its wings towards him, while the pilot pointed to his right rear.
The pilot of the Jaap No. 1 looked in the direction pointed by the pilot of the Zero fighter, and his heart suddenly sank.
I saw several American P-38 aircraft chasing after me quickly, about 500 meters above the No. 1 aircraft.
At this time, the pilot of Jiazi No. 1 had no time to think about it and immediately operated the elevator rod to make an emergency descent.
The six escorting Zero fighter jets pulled the joystick to climb quickly and rushed into the US military's flight formation.
Da da da…
Boom boom…
The sound of continuous firing of machine gun shells and machine gun shells rang out, and the tracer bullets fired by fighter jets from both sides flew in the air like the whip of death.
What grabbed hold of the Japanese Zero fighters were the six P38 fighter jets from Michel's cover group.
"Nani?"
at the same time.
In the cabin of the Japanese No. 1 aircraft, it felt like the bomber was descending rapidly, and when he heard the sound of machine guns and cannons coming from the side, rear and above, Yamamoto's expression suddenly changed:
"what's going on?"
"General, there is no need to panic."
Senior Staff Officer withdrew his eyes from the plexiglass and immediately reported to Yamamoto Nanabahui:
"Six American fighter jets appeared, but the Locust Army's Zero fighter jets have already gone to intercept them."
"That's good."
Yamamoto Qihachi quickly regained his composure, but he still felt something was wrong in his heart.
With the appearance of US military fighter jets here, has your itinerary been exposed?
…
Just when Yamamoto Nanaba was feeling uneasy.
More than 800 meters behind and below the Jaap No. 1 machine.
Seeing that the Zero fighter jets had been successfully lured away from the Japanese flying formation, Lieutenant Lanphier couldn't help but feel happy.
"Enough, enough, enough!"
Lieutenant Lanphier led the attack group to climb quickly and fly towards Yamamoto Nanahachi's No. 1 aircraft.
Following closely behind was his wingman, Lieutenant Babar, as well as the second squadron leader, Lieutenant Moore, and his wingman, Lieutenant McClanahan.
Not long after, Lieutenant Lanphier led the attack team to approach Yamamoto's No. 1 machine at extremely fast speeds.
At this time, Yamamoto Nanahachi's Zero escort fighter pilots also discovered the American fighter jets climbing silently, and they all looked horrified.
The Japanese Zero fighter dived with all its strength, trying to protect General Yamamoto's No. 1 aircraft, but it was bitten by the American fighter and could not get over in a short time.
"Yamamoto, go see God!"
Lieutenant Lanphier shouted excitedly on the radio, the main engine he was driving was approaching Yamamoto's No. 1 machine.
Without fighter escort, the Japanese bombers were like targets in front of the American fighter jets.
Lieutenant Lanphier adjusted the shooting angle and was able to fire at the Japanese bomber immediately.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
I saw several tracer projectiles suddenly appeared in front of me, wrapping around the Japs' No. 1 aircraft like the whip of death. The next second, the intensive "boom boom" sound of machine guns also reached Lieutenant Lanphier's ears.
These tracer ballistics almost hit his precious landline phone.
"Faq! Who's firing?"
There was no time to adjust the angle to shoot the Japanese aircraft No. 1, or even to check the situation of the Japanese aircraft No. 1. Lieutenant Lanphier cursed and pulled the joystick urgently to avoid it. He still fired first as his wingman.
…
(Please give me a monthly pass at the end of the month and a guaranteed monthly pass at the beginning of the month, thank you!!)
