Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army
Chapter 748 Guixu Operation (16)
Night came,
Melbourne,
Second Air Force Commander,
Major General Atkinson, commander of the 2nd Air Force, angrily threw a telegram on the table.
"This Redford, is he mentally ill? He wants our Army Aviation to support their Navy? He brought 8 aircraft carriers!"
Haizhou State's ground forces suddenly began to advance, with one route heading straight to Adelaide!
Today's air battle was extremely fierce. The 2nd Air Force fought in the Adelaide direction from morning to night.
A total of 73 fighters and 41 bombers were lost throughout the day!
Atkinson is still writing a report today requesting the mainland to provide him with additional aircraft and pilots as soon as possible!
A US Army lieutenant colonel nearby asked,
"Then how do we respond?"
Atkinson said angrily,
"Reply? Tell him that our 2nd Air Force has suffered too much damage and cannot be dispatched for support!"
"Yes, General!"
The lieutenant colonel just closed the door and left!
Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound in the air, like thunder rolling deep in the clouds.
He stood up suddenly, and in his panic, his legs even hit the table, and the coffee cup made a crisp sound on the wooden table.
A violent explosion hit the eardrum like a heavy hammer, and the windows shattered. Atkinson staggered and held onto the edge of the table. Before he could react, the second and third waves of explosions followed one after another, as if the whole earth was shaking under his feet. The sharp air raid sirens tore through the air, mixed with the explosions and the creaking of twisted metal.
Orange-red flames continued to seep in through the heavy curtains outside the window, casting flickering shadows in the room. The burning heat wave, accompanied by the pungent smell of burning and gasoline, rushed in through the cracks in the door. Atkinson pressed against the window and could only see the entire airport filled with flames and fireballs exploding. Countless tracer bullets slashed through the night sky like venomous snakes. The continuous explosions made his chest ache, and the huge roar when the fighter planes were detonated made him almost unstable.
He picked up the phone and tried to contact the outside world, but there was only dead silence in the receiver. Every explosion seemed to hit his heart hard, and the shrill screams coming from the direction of the airport were still clearly audible even through the thick walls!
At 22:33 at night,
"Princeton!" aircraft carrier,
command room,
Allied Navy Commander Radford was extremely anxious. The entire fleet was already heading east at full speed, and he only had less than two hundred carrier-based aircraft left!
The air support requested has not yet arrived.
The radar soldier suddenly screamed in fear.
"Aircraft group spotted! Northwest direction, 67 nautical miles away!"
The fact that they were discovered so close to the target means that the planes were flying at a low altitude and avoided detection by some radars.
Just as the U.S. military was in a panic, a formation of 48 Army Aviation Qinglong fighter jets had approached to a position about 10 nautical miles from the aircraft carrier.
These fighter jets were like a group of agile falcons, launching swift attacks on the US aircraft carrier formation from different directions.
The searchlights and anti-aircraft firepower of each ship in the US aircraft carrier formation were instantly turned on, and the dense anti-aircraft fire formed a fire net in the night sky.
However, the Qinglong fighter jets flexibly avoided anti-aircraft firepower with their excellent maneuverability and low-altitude raid advantages. A Haizhou pilot took advantage of the gap in the anti-aircraft firepower of a cruiser, swooped down quickly in his fighter plane, and dropped a heavy bomb at a very low altitude. With a deafening bang, the bomb accurately hit the cruiser, blasting a large hole in the hull, flames shot up into the sky, and seawater quickly poured into the cabin, and the cruiser instantly lost its combat effectiveness.
Just as the U.S. military was fully focused on dealing with the attack from low altitude, two fighter planes swooped down from high altitude over the aircraft carrier USS Bonhomme Richard!
The pilot locked onto the aircraft carrier through radar and used the high-explosive bombs carried by the aircraft to drop them at a nearly vertical angle towards the flight deck of the aircraft carrier.
The bomb caused a violent explosion on the deck of the aircraft carrier, creating a huge hole, and the takeoff and landing of carrier-based aircraft fell into chaos in an instant.
The first wave of attacks launched by the Army Aviation sank a cruiser, two destroyers, and severely damaged an aircraft carrier!
Just when the Army Aviation's attack had not yet completely ended!
The second wave of attack has begun!
At 23:10, 42 Yue Fei fighters and 25 Meng Tian attack aircraft of Haizhou Kingdom Naval Aviation also rushed over from the west and joined the attack!
Melbourne,
Yin Xinjun, who had destroyed two US airports in succession, found a secluded house. He once again entered the space and loaded rockets into the self-propelled rocket launcher!
During the day, we discovered that Melbourne actually has five airports, but two of them are fake, with inflatable airplane models! The remaining three are real, with at least 200 airplanes parked at each airport!
After destroying the first airport, he sent a telegram to Ding Shan, asking the Army Aviation to attack immediately to assist the Navy in the battle! The threat of Melbourne has been greatly reduced!
Thirty minutes later, when Yin Xinjun was ready and rushed to the third airport, he heard a conversation.
"Report to the general, the planes have completed the transfer to Sydney! This is really terrible, Melbourne is full of enemies!"
"Guard the airport closely! We will counterattack during the day!"
"Oh my God, this is such a horrible night!"
"Oh my god, I want to go home!"
Yin Xinjun was dumbfounded. The American military planes actually went to Sydney. He sighed and took out the rocket launcher. No matter what, this airport must not be missed!
Press the firing button.
As rockets fell from the sky!
Soon, the entire airport was engulfed in flames!
After finishing his work, Yin Xinjun looked at the map. It was only 700 kilometers from Melbourne to Sydney. He hurriedly took out the helicopter and flew towards Sydney!
On the sea, the air strikes continued.
After the fourth round of airstrikes,
3:17 am,
The U.S. aircraft carrier "USS Bennington!" has begun to tilt. The aircraft carrier has been hit by five torpedoes in total, and the captain has ordered everyone to abandon ship!
The U.S. aircraft carrier "Boxer!" was on fire at this time. A bomb went straight through the fuel room of the aircraft carrier, and the fire could not be extinguished at all!
"Zheng He!" Cruiser,
Tang Yantian was greatly encouraged after reading the telegram sent by Yin Xinjun. The American military airport in Melbourne was basically destroyed. This was the airport group that posed the greatest threat to the Haizhou Navy!
Sydney Airport is more than 1000 kilometers away from the combat zone, and the combat radius of the F86 is only 800 kilometers. This means that the threat of attacks by the U.S. Army Aviation to the Navy is greatly reduced!
This of course also takes into account that there are some small-scale airports in places like Canberra, but the number of aircraft is relatively small!
Tang Yantian immediately issued an order,
"Continue the air strikes, all ships advance at full speed!"
