Chapter two hundred and eighty third, bombing the port of Sasebo
Looking at Liu Sheng seriously, Commander Zhou did not answer immediately. He stood up and paced around the hall, obviously thinking about gains and losses.
Liu Sheng was not in a hurry either. He also stood up and quietly waited for Commander Zhou's decision. He believed that Commander Zhou could not have imagined something he could understand!
After walking back and forth for nearly 2 minutes, Commander Zhou gritted his teeth and turned around and said to Liu Sheng:
"Well, how could a small bombing stop the Japanese from destroying me? Since they can't stop it, it's better to do a big fight and make a good fortune!"
He asked his personal guard to take the map, and called a group of staff and aircraft experts. Commander Zhou asked them to analyze where the bombing could make the Japanese hurt.
When it comes to the range, the loading weight, how to avoid the Japanese's reconnaissance on the battlefield, and the defense situation of the Japanese's local defense, Liu Sheng could only stare at me without cursing.
He has specialized in his profession. The combination of these data and specific situations is not enough to talk about Liu Sheng, even Commander Zhou.
They sat back on the sofa, watched the heated discussion, chatted casually, waiting for the final result.
Finally, after 10 minutes, the final plan came.
Originally, they could clear the ammunition depot and add a sub-fuel tank, so they could fly to the second largest city on the Japanese Honshu Island. Now they can only go to Sasebo Port, the westernmost end of the Japanese Kyushu Island.
Fortunately, this military port is docked with a large number of Japanese ships, which is a good target for bombing.
According to information, the two latest Feilong-class medium-sized aircraft carriers built by the Japanese were docked here and prepared to go south to support the Mariana Islands.
If these two aircraft carriers could be sunk, it would not only provide indirect support to the Allies in the Pacific, but also deal a heavy blow to the Japanese.
However, in order to increase the range as much as possible, they can only carry one 456 kilogram bomb or two 228 kilogram bombs, and the machine gun can only carry the standard load capacity of two machine guns in the direction of the nose.
In other words, their four B-25s need to use 4 456 kilogram bombs or 8 228 kilogram bombs to sink two Flying Dragon-class aircraft carriers!
With high altitude bombing and no fighter planes as cover, you can imagine how difficult it is.
Commander Zhou looked at Liu Sheng and said half-jokingly:
"How is it? Do you have the confidence to blow up the Japanese aircraft carrier? If you can't even do it, there is no way. For safety reasons, you can only spread leaflets!"
Looking at the aggressive Commander Zhou, Liu Sheng felt unsure.
His plug-in is a gun that he can use to hit every shot, but if it is replaced with a bomb, I don’t know if it is OK.
You know, it is almost impossible to use a bomb to sanitate an aircraft carrier unless it is possessed by the European Emperor and happened to be bombed on the ammunition depot.
The best thing to hit ships on the water is torpedo...
Thinking of torpedoes, Liu Sheng suddenly remembered that the US military had a "jump" bomb drop technology similar to torpedo attacks.
That is, drop the bomb on the water surface at a low altitude, and use inertia to make the bomb jump on the water surface to fly towards the enemy ship. In this way, the bomb explodes below the waterline of the enemy ship, with a huge lethality, and it may kill the Japanese aircraft carrier!
Although Liu Sheng didn't know much about the details and didn't have time to simulate and accumulate experience, he believed that with his flight technology and the plug-in of the system, he would definitely be able to do it with his two chances!
Thinking of this, Liu Sheng stood attentively and saluted:
"General Zhou is relieved and guaranteed to complete the task!"
When his eyes lit up, Commander Zhou suddenly felt a lot of confidence:
"Okay, just be confident. I believe that with your strength, you will be able to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese, promote our country's power, and boost our morale!"
In the next few days, we began to prepare for bombing the Japanese locals.
Commander Zhou was busy and finally determined the revised plan as an action, code-named "Shocking Action".
The other three B-25 pilots were also transferred to Chongqing by Commander Zhou.
Captain Liu of Ertang Airport and Captain Zhou of Enshi Airport are all old acquaintances. Zang Ceylon of the last Liangshan Airport also performed the mission together.
They are all the top ace pilots in China. Of course, they still cannot compare with Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng is the first, which is indisputable.
After the four people met, they began to become nervous and familiar with the performance of the B-25 bomber.
After all, they all started fighter jets, and this time they were bombing missions that went deep into the enemy's back. Needless to say, the danger was, a slight mistake could lead to death.
The Japanese air defense forces are not built, especially in military ports.
Liu Sheng is the No. 1 aircraft, Captain Liu is the No. 2 aircraft, Captain Zhou and Zang Xilan are the same. This mission is mainly composed of Liu Sheng and the other three are supplemented.
After three or four days of familiarity, the four people drove the B-25 bomber to Zhishan Airport under the protection of fighter jets.
They will refuel and load the bullets at Shishan Airport, and then fly quietly to Port Sasebo.
After all, the B-25 bomber has a range of only more than 2,000 kilometers, and the maximum loading fuel tank is 3,000 kilometers. They have to get close to the Japanese as much as possible to facilitate the return journey after bombing.
Everything went smoothly. After Zhishan Airport was ready, the four people waited until night fell and set off in their planes.
With the cover of night, the mission was top secret again. The four people went to a high altitude, turned on the radio silence, and blindly pushed according to the flight route they had memorized.
This is also a helpless move. They went to the enemy's back, and the Japanese listened very well. Once they turned on the radio and were discovered in advance, there would be no suddenness of bombing.
According to the order, they will calculate the approximate location of Sasebo Port based on distance and fuel consumption, and then start the radio when the formation launches an attack.
Soon, after several hours of flight, Liu Sheng turned on the radio and gave a brief order:
"Start the attack!"
Captain Liu and the other two did not answer when they heard the order and began to dive directly.
They had already agreed that according to the information on the parking position of the warship in Port Sasebo, the Feilong-class aircraft carrier Guiliu and the others on the left, and the Liu Sheng on the right attacked.
The reason for this is that Liu Shengxin learned the "jump" bomb drop technique, Captain Liu and the others could not master it in such a short time.
After all, not everyone is a plug-in like Liu Sheng!
This technical requirement is too high. Not only do you have to fly very low, but you also have to fly very close. Not to mention being shot by an anti-aircraft machine gun, you may hit the warship.
However, they had just begun to dive and before they could reach their normal bomb drop position, a harsh alarm sounded from Port Sasebo.
Apparently they were discovered!
Although they were mentally prepared, Liu Sheng's heart was still a little shocked. They were discovered too early!
The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. They all went to the door of the Japanese. How could there be no reason not to go in?
So Liu Sheng accelerated to dive and shouted on the radio:
"For the sake of the motherland, continue to dive, repeat, continue to dive, and kill the Japanese!"
