Chapter 9 Intense Songhu Air Battle

As the symbol of the Japanese aggressors' maritime power, the flagship of the cruiser "Izumo" has been repeatedly bombed by the national army or anti-Japanese organizations. Unfortunately, this old flagship of the Japanese aggressors has too strong armor and low firepower.

It was too powerful and always ended in failure. It even made the pilots and anti-Japanese personnel who bombed it become sacrificial benevolent people.

But the school motto engraved on the door of Jianqiao Aviation School: Don't come in if you are afraid of death, because our bodies, aircraft and bombs will perish together as the enemy's warship position!

It still inspires many pilots who graduated from the Kebashi Aviation School to fly their planes without hesitation and to fly towards the flagship of the Japanese Third Fleet's cruiser "Izumo" for bombing.

More than 20 Northrop bombers led by Sun Tonggang, deputy commander of the 2nd Air Force Group, also took off from AH Guangde Air Force Base and flew more than 200 kilometers in a straight line before arriving in the sky above Songhu, just like the 4th Air Force Group.

Their combat mission this time was to assist an air force squadron of the Fourth Air Force Group in bombing the flagship of the Japanese cruiser "Izumo" and all the frigates of the Third Fleet.

The 2nd Air Force Group was divided into two formations. One group assisted the 4th Air Force Group in bombing Japanese Marine Corps headquarters, docks, warehouses and other military facilities. The other group assisted the Air Force Squadron in bombing "Izumo".

"Flagship" and other ships of the Japanese Third Fleet.

Dozens of aircraft were dispatched at once for sortie operations. This was the entire inventory of the National Army's flying force at the beginning of the war, and the sortie was almost completed.

"Tum! Tum! Tum!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

"Rumble, rumble! Rumble, rumble..."

.......

Soon, the Huangpu River where the entire Japanese Third Fleet was located was covered up by the dense sound of anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and naval gunfire, as well as the explosions caused by the dropping of aerial bombs.

Throughout the world.

And after seeing the Chinese flying force so aggressively bombarding the Japanese army's hateful cruiser "Izumo" flagship and the Third Fleet,

The citizens of Songhu, including those in the foreign concessions, who stood in the high-rise buildings on the Bund to watch the battle, burst into bursts of excited screams, cheering and cheering for the heroic combat actions of the Chinese army and air force.

As for the Japanese Third Fleet, they were not to be outdone and used anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to fight back. Therefore, intensive artillery fire quickly intertwined on the Huangpu River. Water columns from Ebi explosions were everywhere on the river, and the ships were shaking.

"We must blow up the Izumo ship!"

Valley potential

"Don't let it continue to show its power on our land and seas!"

"For the sake of the soldiers and civilians who died tragically under its naval gunfire and bombardment, blow it up, and the equally damned ships around it!"

After seeing so many citizens on the Bund and the foreign concession side supporting the bombing of the Japanese Third Fleet ships,

Sun Tonggang, deputy commander of the 2nd Air Force Group, also immediately opened the public channel of the intercom on the plane and issued combat instructions.

However, at this time, Captain Shen, who bombed the flagship of the Japanese cruiser "Izumo" three days later and severely damaged the Japanese cruiser "Izumo" with his life, and squad leader Cai Zhendong, who was worried about the opponent's heroic combat behavior, also did not participate. This time the bombing campaign.

But three days later, because of Captain Shen’s fearless fighting spirit,

Only then would he fly his bomber without hesitation, avoid the fierce anti-aircraft firepower network of the flagship of the cruiser "Izumo", sacrifice his own desperate suicidal behavior, and collide with the Japanese cruiser "Izumo" together with his men and aircraft. The deck of the "Flagship" turned into a brilliant firework of flames!

Unable to escape, the flagship of the Japanese cruiser "Izumo" detonated the entire deck at once, igniting a fierce fire, and components on each ship continued to explode.

Especially when the No. 904 bomber piloted by Captain Shen detonated part of the ammunition storage depot of the Japanese aggressors' cruiser "Izumo" flagship, and even more so, the entire Japanese aggressors' cruiser "Izumo" flagship was detonated and lost. Most of the combat capabilities were lost, thick smoke billowed, gunpowder filled the air, fires shot into the sky, and all kinds of Japanese screams and voices were heard.

In the end, the heavily damaged cruiser "Izumo" flagship had to temporarily withdraw from the Songhu Battle.

However, this time the bombing by the National Army flying force failed to accomplish such a feat of destroying the flagship of the Japanese cruiser "Izumo".

Although the national army flying force that attacked the flagship of the Japanese cruiser "Izumo" this time had many aircraft,

However, the Japanese aviation force also launched an attack at the same time and intercepted.

Therefore, when the National Army flying troops were having the most fun bombing, Japanese aircraft groups also appeared quickly and engaged in fierce aerial combat with them.

Due to the emergence of a large number of Japanese aircraft groups to support operations, the number of national military aircraft that bombed the flagship of the Japanese cruiser "Izumo" was immediately reduced. There were even some very unfortunate ones that were destroyed by the air defense of the Japanese Third Fleet. The firepower network was shot down.

However, while the Chinese flying force, the Japanese aircraft group, and the Japanese Third Fleet were conducting shootdown operations,
