Chapter 15 The Fury of the Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi
Watching the 27 ARADP AR 196 seaplane group, circling and dive bombing above his head, Commander Matsui Iwane's face was also sharply full of panic. This was when he took the lead in leading the reinforcements.
When he came to support Songhu, he had not anticipated the situation. Although he had calculated that the National Army flying troops might appear, he never thought that there would be so many new seaplanes coming, and that there would be such an attack.
Know his sailing route.
Therefore, faced with such a battle situation that was completely beyond his expectation, Commander Matsui Iwane suddenly had a look of panic on his face, because his transport fleet now did not have flying units to carry out counterattacks.
It is not an aircraft carrier fleet, it is just a transport fleet transporting Japanese troops.
"What on earth did those guys in the Third Fleet do? Why did the enemy planes bypass their interception and show up here!"
"These guys from the navy really can't be trusted!"
"It's really abominable!"
"Have you followed my order to contact the aviation force?"
"When will they be able to reach our battlefield and drive away and shoot down these damn incoming enemy aircraft?"
"Where did these damn planes come from? They should not be the aircraft of the China Army's flying force, and they are actually capable of conducting night-time bombing operations?"
"This is the sea!"
While watching the group of 27 ARADP AR 196 seaplanes continue their attack while avoiding the air defense firepower network of the Japanese transport fleet,
Commander Matsui Iwane also became increasingly uneasy and asked the Japanese staff officer Inada Mingyan beside him.
"Hai!"
"Our flying troops are already on their way here!"
"I've urged them a few times!"
Facing Commander Matsui Iwane’s anxious questioning,
The Japanese counselor Da Tian Mingyan also responded quickly.
At this moment, he was also very worried about whether the ship he was on would be bombed by these night-attack flying troops and sink.
"Let me continue to urge them to support the operation as soon as possible. It is best to dispatch an aircraft carrier fleet to support the operation!"
"The number of enemy planes attacking us is too great!"
"And it's a model I haven't seen before. Let the aviation force and navy pay high attention to me. Otherwise, if the army unit I lead suffers huge casualties, then their marines will not need to obtain it."
Our support is in action!"
"It won't be my mistake if it delays the entire Songhu battle plan!"
Commander Matsui Iwane responded grumpily.
Because he saw Liu Feiyang's group of 27 ARADP AR 196 seaplanes. Although the explosion power of the aerial bombs was not very huge, the firepower of the machine guns and machine gun strafing attacks was very fierce.
Many Japanese officers and soldiers have been killed by them during dive bombing.
Therefore, he also sensed the critical situation of the war, and it was also because of this that he hoped that the Japanese staff officer Inada Mingyan in front of him would quickly urge the Japanese aviation force to support the operation.
Shoot down or drive away Liu Feiyang's group of 27 aradp ar 196 seaplanes.
Otherwise, he himself does not know how long his transport fleet can persist in air strikes.
"Hai!"
.......
The Japanese counselor Da Tian Mingyan quickly took the order and left again.
Soon, the Commander of the Third Fleet, Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, and the Chief of Naval Staff, Fukashima Yoshida, also received the telegram from Commander Matsui Iwane with ugly expressions, and learned that the transport fleet led by Matsui Iwane had also encountered a group of enemy aircraft.
night bombing raids.
"Baga Yalu! Are these damned Chinese troops finished?"
"Not only did it blow up and sink the flagship "Izumo" under my command!"
"Now, the target of the sneak attack is actually the transport fleet of Matsui Iwane, who is sailing at night?"
"Baga Yalu! These damn China Army are really bullying people too much. They don't take our Imperial Air Force and Navy into consideration!"
"Immediately take off the carrier-based aircraft group to support the operation, and ask the aviation units on the Army Aviation side to attack more. I must annihilate all these arrogant China Army flying units!"
When the commander-in-chief, General Kiyoshi Hasegawa, who had narrowly escaped death, received the transport fleet of Matsui Iwane's army and was being attacked by a group of enemy aircraft,
He suddenly became ferocious and roared angrily.
Because the flagship "Izumo" he was commanding was the ARADP ar 196 seaplane group dispatched by Liu Feiyang to attack during the day. They carried out a suicide attack and were sent to the bottom of the Huangpu River to feed the fish.
If he himself had not been taken away by his subordinates, I am afraid that he would have been sunk at the bottom of the Huangpu River together with the "Izumo" flagship, and became history forever.
The fish and shrimp were eaten.
