"The 'Taihu' radar found four enemy planes in total, with a distance of 4 kilometers and an altitude of 34 to 4000 meters."

Gui Yongqing turned his head, "Are you sure? Did the 'Tai Zhao' ship find it?"

After a while, the "Tai Zhao" ship also reported that it had spotted an enemy plane. After 5 minutes, the Tu-2 bomber could already see the small black spots with the naked eye.

"It's flying straight at such a high altitude, maybe it's going to bomb Taichung?" Gui Yongqing said.

Dropping bombs at a level above 3000 meters has basically zero hit rate against sailing warships, so Gui Yongqing does not believe that he is any threat. If the GONG army wants to attack warships, at least one team of Il-10 must be dispatched.

The 76mm main guns on the two US-made destroyers of the national army began to fire. "Don't waste shells, just send a report to Taipei and warn them to pay attention to the incoming bombers." Gui Yongqing said, "Most of my ships carry grenades, and there are not many anti-aircraft ammunition, which are relatively expensive. Besides, it is impossible for the planes of the GONG Army to blow up..."

Before he finished speaking, Gui Yongqing flew up, drew a perfect parabola in the air, and threw it obliquely into the sea.

A 500kg aerial bomb hit the root of the "Fenyang" bridge, and the towering bridge shook violently, then collapsed to one side.

Chapter 35, Penghu Naval and Air Battle ([-])

Through the optical sight of the Tu-2 bomber, the bombardier Feng Zhang saw the destroyer he was attacking exploding and shooting balls, and shouted excitedly: "Hit! Hit! Direct hit!"

The six Tu-6 special bombers dispatched this time were divided into three teams to search for the National Army formation. After the No. 2 team found the National Army fleet, they radioed the No. 4 and No. 1 teams to come, but only the No. 4 team arrived in the airspace as scheduled. The 4 bombers dropped 2 bombs on ships 2 to [-] of the formation, and directly hit [-] of them.This is only the result of the first wave of attacks. Each bomber still has [-] guided bombs in its magazine.

On the "Danyang" destroyer, the captain Chu Lianfang saw that two of the four ships sailing ahead had huge explosions. He immediately judged that it was an air strike, and the four Tu-4 bombers passing slowly overhead were the culprit. "Speed ​​up! Full left rudder!" Chu Lianfang ordered.

The maximum speed of the "Yangyan" class exceeds 32 knots. Even if the boiler is not in good condition now, it is no problem to drive to 25 knots.The purpose of maintaining a speed of 18 knots before was to accommodate the two US-made escort destroyers with a maximum speed of 2 knots in the formation.

The current situation of the fleet rushing to aid Penghu is very bad. The "Fenyang" bridge was blown up, and the entire formation lost its unified command.The escort destroyer "Taizhao" ranked third in the formation was hit by a bomb in the middle and rear of the hull. The bomb penetrated the deck and exploded inside the ship, causing the main engine to stop, and water entered multiple breaches on the side. , The entire ship deformed, and the steel plate of the hull began to crack along with the deformation of the hull, and countless small holes were poured into it, making it impossible to rescue.

The four Tu-4 bombers in the air made a big bend and entered the bombing route again.

Looking at the sea surface from an altitude of 4000 meters, it is obvious that a Kuomintang warship was grounded by the bombing and was covered in flames.Right now, there are 4 ships and 4 bombers left, and each plane takes care of a ship.

The second round of bombing attacks.The "Xinyang"/"Chumei" ship with the most beautiful appearance in the national army formation finally did not escape. A guided bomb pierced into the bow of the ship 1 meter behind the double-mounted main gun turret, and the explosion inside the ship instantly detonated the ammunition under the main gun. Ku, more than 100 rounds of 127mm artillery shells exploded, and the bow of the "Xinyang" ship broke away from the hull.The bow swayed and sank first, and the bow of more than 20 meters was missing. The "Xinyang" ship could not continue to support itself, and the front of the ship slowly sank with the water.

However, the "Xinyang" ship was not the worst one. The "Taihu" ship, which was the first to detect the bomber formation with radar, was first hit by a guided bomb in the middle of the hull, and the diesel engine cabin was blown to pieces. Ten seconds later, the second guided bomb hit the middle and rear of the hull, detonating the ammunition bay of the 10mm tail gun, and the "Taihu" disintegrated in the ammunition explosion.

"What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?" The captain of aircraft 011, the temporary commander of the air formation, asked repeatedly on the radio, "Aircraft 014, you have chosen the wrong target! You bombed the target that aircraft 013 is going to bomb." !"

On the sea, Chu Lianfang, the captain of the "Danyang", looked blankly at the sky and the sea.Just now the enemy planes regrouped and bombed again. Although he didn't know if it could be avoided, Chu Lianfang tried his best to make the warship twist and turn in circles on the sea, but he was ready to jump into the sea to escape.But it seems that I was lucky, the enemy plane did not target the "Danyang", but blew up the "Xinyang" ship and the "Taihu" ship.

In the sky, the captain of aircraft 011 started the call again: "Now there are still 2 enemy ships on the sea surface. Our 2 aircraft attack the 1 ship with an interval of 15 seconds. Don't make mistakes this time!"

"Fenyang".

Gui Yongqing, who was watching the scenery on the open-air deck of the bridge, flew into the sea. The captain himself was so shocked that he vomited blood and passed out in the bridge. The communication between the crooked bridge and various departments in the ship was also interrupted. The large destroyer maintained a barely controllable sailing state relying on the only remaining captain on the deck to communicate with the engine room.The second round of bombing was lucky, and the bomb landed in the sea more than 3700 meters away from the stern of the "Fenyang".But look at the bombers in the sky turning again, obviously there is a third round.

The third round of bombing.The first bomb fell and got in between the two turrets at the stern.The bomb exploded, and the hull shook violently.The second bomb hit the middle of the hull, and penetrated into the hull from the torpedo tube without torpedoes. The explosion caused the collapse of the high-pressure boiler on the ship, and the huge energy of high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor was released instantly. The torpedo tubes in the middle of the ship were blown off the deck and flew into the sky, and the bulwarks on both sides of the ship peeled off piece by piece and flew into the sea.The 3700-ton destroyer was paralyzed at sea.

"Danyang".

"Full rudder to the left! Full rudder to the right! Full rudder to the right!" Chu Lianfang commanded the destroyer, drawing horoscopes on the sea surface, but still did not escape the bomb of Tu-2.The first 500kg bomb hit the bow of the ship. The bomb smashed a transparent hole in the bow, and then drilled into the sea from the floating part of the bow... without exploding.On the bridge, Chu Lianfang clearly saw the sparks from the bomb hitting the deck, and the water column that the bomb pierced through the hull and plunged into the sea.

The second bomb landed more than 40 meters away from the side, and the shock wave from the explosion caused the "Danyang" to shake.

After the bomb is dropped, call it a day and go home.

图-2特种轰炸机对海上移动目标的首次实战打击结束，12枚炸弹直接命中7发（实际上是8发），击沉1艘大型驱逐舰、3艘护航驱逐舰。

"Turn around, salvage the brother who fell into the water, and then return to Hong Kong." Looking at the sinking friendly ships within two or three kilometers and the life rafts being released one after another, Chu Lianfang, the captain of the "Danyang", sighed and said.

……

Penghu Bay.

The naval battle between ships 31 and 32 and the national army's "Yongming" and "Yongkang" minesweepers has been going on for 50 minutes.Neither side's main guns hit each other, only a few 20mm machine guns hit, but none of them did any effective damage to the four warships.

Ships 31 and 32 did not receive systematic training.The sailors who drove the boat were sailors hired at high prices in Hong Kong; the gunners who operated the guns included a third brother who had served in World War II, a Thai gunner recruited from the Thai Navy, and a dozen other artillerymen drawn by Sanye. Some are still seasick, and the artillery dishes are understandable.But the "Yongming" and "Yongkang" were all shot into the air, which is quite unusual.

After 50 minutes of artillery battle and each ship fired 31 or 32 shells, the 500st and 10nd ships finally couldn't hold back, and went directly from the depths of Penghu Bay to the top of the "Yongming" and "Yongkang" less than 32 meters away. Fire from a distance.Ten minutes after the top-of-the-line artillery battle, the "Yongming" was hit by three bullets, the "Yongkang" was hit by two bullets, the 76nd ship was hit by a 31mm naval gun, and the 75st ship was hit twice by a 31mm howitzer on the shore. The "Yongming" and "Yongkang" saw that the situation was not good, so they fled into Magong Harbor and never came out again. The 32st and [-]nd ships immediately turned around, sailed out of Penghu Bay, and set up a formation north of the Penghu Islands, preparing to meet the upcoming reinforcement fleet of the national army.

Ships 31 and 32 sailed to the open sea north of Penghu, paddling and waiting for orders. After half an hour, there was nothing on the sea, but the captain of Ship 31 received a telegram.After reading the telegram, the captain's expression was very complicated.After a while, he gave an order: "The formation goes south and joins the bombardment of Xiyu Island. The reinforcement fleet of the national army will not come."

Xiamen, Sanye front finger.

Commander Su was speechless for a while when he received the report from the command plane of the special bomber.Then, Commander Su asked the radio monitoring team of the Ministry of Communications what they found. The monitoring team reported that four of the five signal sources that were originally confirmed to be the shipboard radio stations of the national army reinforcement fleet had been silent. More than an hour later, there was still no sound. throat.The remaining active signal source stopped going south and circled the sea 4 kilometers west of Taichung City.

"Do you want to check the film after the special bomber lands?" asked the chief of staff.

"Report, No. 023 reconnaissance plane sent back a telegram." The correspondent walked in and handed over the latest telegram.

"Sinking national military ships were observed. There were a lot of wreckage and burning oil on the sea surface. A national military destroyer broke down in this sea area and may be rescuing people who fell into the water."

"Send a report to the 31st and 32nd ship formations," Commander Su said, "order the two ships to end their assault deployment and return to the Penghu Islands to participate in the land artillery mission."

"Send a report to the Military Commission." Commander Su continued, "At 6:16 noon on June 12, our air force's 4-ship formation of special bombers used guided bombs to carry out air strikes against the 5-ship formation of the national army's support, dropping 12 bombs. According to statistics, one large destroyer and three escort destroyers were sunk, and the enemy formation has given up and continued to go south. Our East China Air Force is dispatching Il-1 to carry out additional strikes on the remaining one enemy ship."

Taiwan Strait.

The crew of the "Danyang" demonstrated their basic skills in rescuing the drowning crew, and rescued more than 170 people in just one and a half hours.When the figure of Il-10 appeared in the sky, the "Danyang" had already lifted anchor and turned to retreat north.

In order to chase and wipe out the only remaining enemy ship, the East China Air Force dispatched 12 Il-10s, dispersed the primary, and attacked while searching.In the end, only 4 Il-10s found the "Danyang" ship.Although these Il-10s carried 100 kg attack bombs instead of 250 kg small bombs, none of the 8 bombs hit the "Danyang" ship.The national army air force also came to their senses at this time and strengthened the protection of the head of the "Danyang" ship. Four Il-4s made two oblique dive attacks. Returned.

Beijing, Military Commission Headquarters.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Xu Shuai, the chief of the general staff, read the telegram and yelled "Ha! Ha!" twice, and his bloodshot eyes regained their spirited look.

"Four bombers dropped 12 out of 7 bombs, and 5 of the 4 warships reinforced by the national army were reimbursed at once. The 4 large warships, with a tonnage of almost 8000 tons, were wiped out at once!" Xu Shuai handed the telegram to the Prime Minister, "Tang Hua? Where is Tang Hua?"

"Tang Hua went back at 7 o'clock in the morning." The Prime Minister replied, and read the telegram carefully again, "But I asked him to come back in the afternoon. He should be dancing with joy when he gets here. ...... Call back to the former finger, the enemy sea There are still warships, and reinforcement ships will continue to rush in from north to south in the next one to two days, please pay attention to reconnaissance and surveillance over the strait, and do not let enemy ships slip through the net."

Chapter 36, Penghu Naval and Air Battle ([-])

At the end of World War II, Germany took the lead in putting radio-guided bombs into actual combat. The most famous example is that in 1943, the Luftwaffe Do217 bomber sank the battleship "Rome" with two PC1400X guided bombs (Fritz-X).After the end of World War II, both the Soviet Union and the United States obtained information on Fritz-X, but the U.S. Navy and Air Force had little interest in bombs such as Fritz-X, because the remote control commands used by Fritz-X at that time made such bombs Bombs are hard to handle, and it was a stroke of luck to hit the Roma twice (or maybe there was a god-level bomber on that plane). From 1943 to 1944, Do217 conducted several attacks with guided bombs in the Mediterranean, with an average hit rate of 1/4 to 1/6.

After a lapse of 6 years, the guided bomb reappeared in the waters of East Asia, and achieved amazing results in the first battle.However, Tang Hua feels that it is not necessary to announce to the world how powerful the Air Control-1 is for the time being.

"Prime Minister, is there any way to confirm that there is no unexploded bomb of Aviation Control-1B on the escaped National Army warship?" Tang Hua asked.

"Report to Sanye... No, there is another confirmation channel for this matter." The Prime Minister said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, it will be confirmed in a few days."

"To sum up today's special bombers' land and sea strikes, there are a few things that need attention," Tang Hua said, "First, in order to keep the technical confidentiality of guided bombs as much as possible, it is recommended that special bombers mainly attack sea targets and the Penghu Islands. The target is the main goal. If there is a dud bomb in the land attack on Taiwan Island, it is easy to be obtained by the enemy for research; 10. When a multi-aircraft formation jointly drops bombs, the pilot must pay attention to the six-color indicator lights on the tail of the bombs, and recognize clearly that it represents the bombs thrown by the aircraft. The color number of the bomb, if the battlefield permits, it is best not to have more than three aircrafts dropping bombs at the same time; [-]. It is recommended that more Il-[-] and other tactical aircraft be used for monitoring and reconnaissance in the Taiwan Strait area to ensure that intelligence can be obtained in advance , Attack with purpose."

The Prime Minister and Xu Shuai nodded. "Write these three articles into a telegram and send it to Qian Zhi." Xu Shuai said.
