Chapter 605
A raging fire ignited on the ship of the Miaogao, and the main gun at the tail was also destroyed. The deck was in chaos, and the charred corpses on the ground were still burning with flames.
The Japanese navy immediately dragged two high-pressure water guns to put out the fire, but more and more fighter jets were coming out of the sky, and the situation became precarious.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..."
Another pirate came to a low-altitude strafing, and the airborne rockets whizzed and whizzed onto the ship, and the flames instantly devoured all life along the way.
The six .50 machine guns on the plane also roared with death. Wherever they went, they had broken limbs and arms. The Japanese who were still extinguishing the fire immediately turned into pieces of rotten meat, and noisy shouts were endless.
"At the beginning of the day, the fire will fade away!"
"Save people quickly!"
The pipe of a high-pressure water gun was penetrated and gushed with clear water mixed with blood flowed all over the deck. All the corpses around it were blown to pieces with broken hands and feet were shocking. The cruel scenes tortured the Japanese in their hearts...
Seeing a gap in the defense line of Japanese ships, other formations also began to attack the Miaogao side. More and more fighter planes surrounded them, causing the pressure on the Japanese on Miaogao to surge.
No one noticed that the two Poverty torpedo bombers quietly bypassed the middle area with the most intense firepower and came to a place two nautical miles from the right wing of the enemy fleet, flying as low as possible against the sea surface and slowly approaching.
There is a loophole in the right wing of the Japanese fleet now. A White-class destroyer was blown up and sinking into the sea. The Miaogao was seriously damaged and the air defense firepower was greatly reduced, which just gave the torpedo aircraft an excellent opportunity.
As the distance got closer, the sharp-eyed Japanese naval soldiers on the ship Miaogao also discovered their whereabouts. They felt that they were not good and hurriedly operated the side machine gun to block the other side.
The bullets were shot at the target, but unfortunately, the only thing that could be adjusted quickly on the side side was a Type 93 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine gun, but in terms of range or power, it was a bit unpalatable for the Poverty torpedo bomber. In addition, the distance was not accurate and the head was not good, so a few small maneuvers made it difficult for the Japanese machine gunners to bite the target.
Other high-angle cannons are still dealing with threats from the head, and it is difficult to lay down enemy aircraft on the sea level in a short period of time.
The desperate Japanese could only do useless work with the machine gun in their hand and watch the other party get closer and closer.
At about one kilometer apart, the two Poverty bombers pilots decisively dropped two 18-inch anti-ship torpedoes carried on the fuselage.
The two torpedoes fell into the water perfectly at a standard angle. The propeller at the tail rolled up a large number of bubbles in the water and began to push the bomb forward. The two planes immediately turned around and left the battlefield.
Further forward is the absolute killing area of the opponent's air defense machine gun. No matter how brave they are, they dare not drive this bulky bomber to break into the enemy's firepower network.
The officers in the control room of the Miaogao ship tower soon received a report from their subordinates. The situation was imminent and there was no need to think about it. The captain immediately ordered a right turn to avoid the torpedoes coming at a rapid speed.
However, due to the continuous harassment of fighter jets in the sky, the already severely damaged Miaogao could not quickly turn the direction.
Moreover, the torpedo launch position is very close, with a speed of 37 knots, and it takes less than sixty seconds to reach one kilometer. Even if the Miaogao sails with maximum horsepower, it is difficult to get rid of it.
Soon, under the horrified eyes of many Japanese naval soldiers, two torpedoes dragging the tails crashed into the middle and rear of the ship.
Two loud bangs, and a violent explosion arrived as scheduled, shaking the water column soared into the sky, and all the Shanghai soldiers were shaken to the point of falling.
The huge gap at the torpedo attack was like the mouth of a giant beast with a bloody mouth, and the sea water kept pouring into the cabin, swallowing up countless Japanese devils...
As a large amount of sea water poured into the interior of the ship's warehouse, the bow of the ship began to slowly rise, and it was a matter of time before it fell.
As expected, the Japanese captain issued an order to abandon the ship unwillingly. After being attacked so strongly, the life of the heavy cruiser also entered the countdown.
In an instant, the Japanese scrambled to jump into the sea, their ears filled with miserable screams, and countless hands fluttered in the water.
At this time, the fighter planes in the sky did not intend to let them go. The cannons shot at the Japanese soldiers in the water, and the blood almost dyed the sea water red. Lifeboats were not enough, and more soldiers were drowned alive on the way to escape.
Less than half an hour of fighting, a destroyer and a heavy cruiser were destroyed one after another. This result made the commander of the naval fleet so angry that his heart attack almost broke out.
If the enemy's second wave of attack formation arrives on the battlefield, it will probably be difficult for the remaining ships to escape unscathed.
The intuition told him that the other party should have not used all his strength yet, and there seemed to be more fighter planes in the sky eyeing him.
The enemy's fighter fleet was still attacking, and the b17 air fortress also began to bomb the Japanese army in Yangon City, and together with the army artillery, staged a massive baptism of artillery fire.
Hundreds of aviation bombs were like hail, and fell on the ground and exploded with fire. No matter how solid the building was, it turned into a pile of rubble in an instant.
For a moment, the battlefield was blooming on all sides, and there were explosions everywhere without any idle places. The opponent perfectly explained what firepower suppression is not at the same level.
...
At this time, the 88th Army's frontier command post was brightly lit, the radio station was ringing non-stop, and the busy figures of officers were everywhere.
Since the attack began, Liao Mingyu has been standing in front of the observation window for two hours like an old monk entering a meditation.
At this time, he remained highly focused and looked at the movements on the battlefield quietly. Except for occasionally asking questions, he almost stopped talking.
After all, all offensive tasks were planned in advance. Now we just let the troops carry out in sequence according to the original plan. What is tested is their tactical ability and cooperation between the various troops. As long as there is no accident, there is basically no need to worry about anything.
Liao Mingyu hugged his hands in his chest and thoughts, and his fingers beat his arms rhythmically. He remembered how passionate he was when he led troops to fight in the past. The pressure of torture on the line of life and death is still in fear.
Now that I am in a high position, I naturally have to consider more things and will never charge forward like before. At the same time, even a small decision will affect the lives of thousands of people.
"Report to Junshi, the 1st Armored Brigade Regiment arrived at the designated location..."
At this time, the communication soldier walked up to him with a telegram and reported loudly:
"The 2nd Armored Brigade Regiment arrived at the designated location and was ready for combat..."
"The 6th Battalion, 7th Battalion of the 503rd Regiment of the New Fiftyth Division, the Tank Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 200th Division, the Armored Battalion, and the First Main Regiment of the Rong Third Division, and the above troops are all the best to prepare for combat, and you can join the battle at any time when you wait for the order!"
Liao Mingyu suddenly felt energetic, and his eyebrows were raised, immediately ordered: "Notify all troops and wait until the artillery and bombing are over, the general attack will be launched on the whole line!"
"I understand!" the communication soldier replied salutingly.
The Yangon City, which was filled with smoke, has now become a thing of the bag, and even the arrogant Japanese fleet in the past has fallen into a dead end.
