Chapter 430 Precision Bombing

Countless anti-aircraft machine bullets were fired into the night sky, rubbing against the air to produce strings of bright light, like bright meteors streaking across the night sky.

The light from these meteors formed a network of light in the night sky, as if to trap the non-existent or hidden bombers.

After Zhang Yunhe raised the landing craft to a safe height, he boldly dropped the aerial bombs.

With the lock of the Iron Blood computer, every aerial bomb was accurate. On average, ten 10-kilogram aerial bombs could completely destroy a 500-ton troop transport ship.

More than 70 aerial bombs were dropped in one breath, it was such a great experience.

Seeing the loss of troop transport ships increasing, the Japanese officers of the escort fleet became more and more anxious.

The captain of a battleship observed the bombed troop transports through a telescope and said in a deep voice, "Eight troop transports have been bombed. Our enemy dropped bombs with a targeted approach, not randomly. Their target was our troop transports. Not a single bomb landed on them. This aerial combat capability is terrifying!"

A chief of staff nearby said, "Sir, we have already used up half of our anti-aircraft ammunition, but we still haven't even touched the enemy!"

The captain gritted his teeth and said, "Continue the anti-aircraft fire. We must form a fire network. I don't know what means they used to eliminate the sound of the aircraft engines, but the enemy must be above us!"

"Hi!"

Zhang Yunhe was having a lot of fun sitting in the cockpit of the landing craft dropping bombs. After sinking the tenth troop ship, he suddenly remembered something.

"After suffering such a fierce bombing and such heavy losses, the commander of this escort fleet, realizing he couldn't stop me from continuing the bombing and anticipating the possibility of the fleet being completely annihilated, should have sent a telegram to the base to report the situation!"

"No, we can't let their top brass know about this situation!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunhe immediately controlled the Iron Blood computer to start the radio interference program, releasing electromagnetic signals of specific frequency and wavelength to interfere with the magnetic field in the surrounding space, preventing the other party from transmitting the true situation here back to the base via radio.

Zhang Yunhe thought of this, and the captain of the Japanese ship also felt that his fleet might not be able to reach its destination smoothly. After all, the accuracy of the bombing was too high. As long as this unknown enemy had enough ammunition, it was not impossible to sink all their ships.

"Where's the communications officer?" asked the captain.

"Sir, I'm here!" A middle-aged military officer in his thirties stood up.

The captain ordered, "Send a message to base. My fleet is under unidentified bombing. We can't see the enemy planes at night, and we can't hear the roar of the bomber engines, but the enemy's bombing accuracy is beyond imagination. Every bomb falls on our troop transports. So far, we have lost 10 troop transports in a row..."

"We are mentally prepared to face the empire's utter destruction, but these warriors will never be able to return to their homeland..."

At this time, a staff officer said, "Sir, the sea area we are currently in is not too far from Shanghai and Lin'an Airport. If we can contact them now and ask them to send a fleet of aircraft to escort us, I think it will be in time!"

The captain shook his head and said, "Even if we make it in time, our current aircraft technology is completely incapable of nighttime patrols and combat. Even our modified twin-engine heavy bombers lack effective night vision equipment. Without moonlight and obvious reference points for nighttime takeoff, we're likely to get lost in the sky and eventually crash into the sea due to fuel exhaustion!"

The Chief of Staff said with a serious expression, "Sir, the situation has become so dire that we must make a decision immediately. I suggest that all surviving ships disperse and flee. Only by breaking up into smaller groups can we reduce the enemy's bombing targets. If we gather together now, we will be too big a target!"

"Order all ships to disperse and flee, and after ensuring their safety, adjust their routes to rendezvous at Lin'an Port!"

After hearing this, the captain's eyes regained their spirit. He thought this might be the best way to preserve his strength at the moment.

He immediately issued an order: "Pass on my order. All troop transports, including warships, will immediately turn off their lights upon receiving the order and disperse and flee this sea area at maximum speed, regardless of direction. Once you feel it is safe, adjust your course and head towards Lin'an Port. We will rendezvous in Lin'an Bay!"

"Keep in radio contact at all times!"

"Hi!"

A telegram announcing the discovery of the base and another to each ship were sent out from the ship's telegraph room one after another.

Three minutes after the telegram was sent, another troop ship was sunk, but the warships did not turn off their lights, nor did they show any signs of dispersing or fleeing.

"What's going on? Why don't the ships obey orders?" The battleship captain was the first to realize that something was wrong and immediately shouted.

The chief of staff said seriously, "There is only one possibility for this situation: the telegram was not sent, or they did not receive it!"

The captain's face changed drastically. He didn't have time to investigate why the telegram hadn't been sent. He immediately shouted, "Use lights to signal all ships and convey my order in full. Quick!"

If the radio of a fleet on the sea at night is interfered with due to sea and weather reasons, the communication within the fleet can only rely on lights to transmit signals. Flag signals can be used during the day, but only lights can be used at night.

Sure enough, after the light signal was sent, the warships and troop transport ships turned off their lights one after another, turned around, changed their routes, increased their sailing speed to the maximum, and quickly dispersed and escaped.

Zhang Yunhe, sitting in the cockpit of the spacecraft landing craft, saw the movements of the Japanese ships below through the three-dimensional virtual holographic image and immediately understood the intentions of these Japanese devils.

A sneer played on his lips. "Hey, thinking of breaking up into smaller pieces to get away? That's too simple, isn't it?"

Zhang Yunhe immediately drove the landing craft closely following a troop transport ship, continuously dropping aerial bombs over it, and the speed of dropping was greatly increased.

No matter which direction the ships fled, Zhang Yunhe would quickly find them and fly over them to drop aerial bombs.

All 15 -ton troop transport ships were sunk in less than an hour, and the sea was littered with ship wreckage and the bodies of dead soldiers.

Only then did he drop 128 500-kilogram aerial bombs.

There are still 172 bombs, and there are 12 ships on the sea, and they are also fleeing in all directions at the fastest speed.
