Chapter 758: Attack From the Dark (Thanks to Black Celery for the Reward!)
Ye Tian hoped that after he risked his life to sink the Izumo and other large ships, the Chinese Navy would be able to attack smaller Japanese warships.
Then, if he was not dead, he would secretly escort them and escort them away safely.
Looking at the plane that suddenly appeared overhead, Ye Tian suddenly realized again.
In fact, it is not wrong to say that China's elite troops were fully deployed in the Battle of Shanghai.
Also, the Teaching Corps, the Tax Police Corps, the 88th Division and other German-equipped divisions, and even the more powerful Chairman's Guards all came out.
That's not all, the Navy Huangpu Military Academy is not willing to be lonely.
In fact, the Air Force Huangpu Military Academy has long been ready and has made all preparations.
The Air Force Huangpu Military Academy is located in Hangzhou Jianqiao.
The name says it all.
Today is August 14, 1937, the second day of the Battle of Shanghai. The Chinese Air Force dispatched two groups of people.
The first group was represented by Gao Zhihang, the first pilot during the War of Resistance.
At that time, the Japanese planes attempted to bomb the Jianqiao Airport.
At the critical moment, Gao Zhihang bravely stood up and led his troops to fight against the Japanese.
Their record was very good. On this day, they created a brilliant 6:0.
The most important thing is that this was the first time that China shot down a Japanese plane in an air battle.
The second batch was led by Sun Tonggang, deputy commander of the 2nd Air Force Squadron.
He led 21 Northrop bombers, took off from the Guangde Air Force Base in Anhui, flew 220 kilometers in a straight line, and successfully arrived over the Bund in Hongkou, Shanghai.
Their purpose was very simple, mainly to bomb the "Izumo" and its escort ships.
Ye Tian knew that because he had let the Japanese Navy Command take the earth plane, Sun Tonggang and his team had a much smaller task.
Free up some planes, and they were also responsible for bombing the Japanese military facilities such as docks and warehouses.
In Ye Tian's impression, at that time, so many bombers bombed the Izumo, but did not sink it.
However, despite the interference of anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and especially the Japanese aircraft, the Chinese Air Force still dropped a lot of bombs on the Izumo.
Thanks to the efforts of the Chinese Air Force, the Izumo was seriously injured.
Although the Izumo was not sunk, it has a profound meaning.
This battle was the first time that the island nation's naval fleet was attacked by China since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895!
This battle greatly inspired the military and civilian morale of China.
That's not all. After discovering that China was brave enough to show its sword against a strong enemy, the international community had to begin to re-examine China.
In fact, most Chinese soldiers believe in this sentence:
An inch of land and an inch of blood!
Even more, many soldiers believe:
Since putting on a military uniform, this life has been given to the country.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Germany, the Russians, and later the United States, began or increased military assistance to China.
In the real history of the Battle of Shanghai, although the Izumo was bombed in various ways by the Chinese Navy and Air Force, it was not sunk.
A few days later, the devils repaired it and put it into the bombing of Shanghai again.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Izumo is the flagship of the island country's third fleet.
Under the command of the Izumo, dozens of warships, plus aircraft on various aircraft carriers, continuously carried out indiscriminate bombing of Shanghai.
Under these attacks, many Chinese civilians were killed and injured.
What had to be stopped was that in order to prevent being targeted by the Chinese army again, the Izumo once again increased its defense work.
Standing on the seabed, Ye Tian looked up at the sky.
Discovering that the Chinese Air Force had come out and was about to start bombing the Izumo, Ye Tian's face sank and he ran towards the Izumo again.
Ye Tian planned to take advantage of the chaos and try to sink the Izumo.
One's own people know their own affairs best.
Ye Tian knew that in the next few days, the reason why the Chinese Navy's dead soldiers did not sink the Izumo was that their torpedoes were not powerful enough.
System products are definitely not ordinary products.
Ye Tian believed that once he placed a torpedo under the Izumo, a big hole would definitely be blown out of the Izumo.
In this way, it would be difficult for the Izumo not to sink.
However, helping the air force and attacking in the chaos would face attacks from both sides.
In other words, even if he did not die in the hands of the devils, he would probably be killed by friendly forces.
The wind is whistling and the Yishui River is cold, and the warriors will never return once they leave!
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian continued to move forward.
Under Ye Tian's gaze, the Chinese Air Force finally took action.
In fact, before these bombers of the Chinese Air Force flew over, harsh and shrill alarms sounded on the Izumo and other devil warships.
At the same time, many anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the warships opened fire.
That's not all. Dozens of devil planes took off from various aircraft carriers in an emergency, intending to stop the Chinese Air Force.
Because his eyesight was so good and his night vision was also very good, Ye Tian soon saw a scene that he would never forget.
In the air, planes from the two countries kept fighting.
With a little time and space, the Chinese Air Force began to drop bombs on the Izumo.
In this way, one heavy aerial bomb after another fell.
Except for a few that hit the Japanese warships, most of these bombs fell into the sea.
Naturally, the sea water rolled violently and the torrent surged.
As we all know, the sea is so vast and deep that even without wind, it can raise three-foot waves.
Affected by many explosions, this sea area is simply turbulent.
Even though he was still one kilometer away from the target, Ye Tian felt the torrents.
For fear of being killed by friendly forces, Ye Tian had to turn on the early warning function.
In addition, Ye Tian also turned on the invisible bulletproof vest function.
What made Ye Tian happy was that until he was almost close to the Izumo, the Japanese sentry still didn't find him.
Yes, let alone the Izumo, even the other Japanese warships around were mostly focused on the air.
It must be said that China and the island country were fighting fiercely, and there were many foreign spectators around.
Most of them came from European and American powers, and this time they came here uninvited.
In name, they stood on a neutral position and did not help either side.
In fact, they were not just simple spectators.
There were many reporters and military observers among these foreigners.
Now is the era of hot weapons, and the weapons are more advanced than those in World War I.
Through on-site observation, European and American countries can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and further improve the combat effectiveness of each country.
Glancing around, Ye Tian continued to run forward.
Automatically ignoring the small warships around the Izumo, even the large battleships and aircraft carriers, Ye Tian continued to run towards the Izumo.
Half an hour later, Ye Tian finally approached the Izumo.
However, what made Ye Tian depressed was that the timing was not very good at this time.
The reason was simple, the Izumo was fighting.
Dozens of large-caliber naval guns were still bombarding Shanghai Beach, except for other places outside the concession.
The ship-borne anti-aircraft guns and ship-borne anti-aircraft machine guns were firing desperately.
All of these made the Izumo shake constantly.
This shaking seemed very gentle, but the force was very strong, making it difficult for Ye Tian to get close.
