215 Colonel Threatens Lieutenant General
The bombing lasted only a dozen minutes.
With the six surviving Kuomintang fighter planes returning safely, this short bombing came to an end.
The Nationalist Air Force dropped six aerial bombs on the Japanese battleship Kirishima at the cost of losing two bombers.
This bomb hit rate is neither very good nor bad.
Fortunately, it was a cloudless day today and the view was unrestricted.
Otherwise, the results would probably be even worse.
There was no way. At this time, most of the surviving pilots of the National Air Force were novices with only a dozen hours of flying time.
The most elite group of pilots were almost all lost in the Battle of Shanghai in an air battle with the Japanese carrier-based aircraft.
This time, the National Army Air Force was tasked with bombing the Japanese battleship Kirishima.
The eight pilots selected were the ones with the best bombing skills among the surviving pilots.
They are more valuable than fighter planes.
"Sir, is this the end?"
After the Kuomintang bombers flew away, Xiao Wusheng and others calmed down.
Looking at the Japanese battleship Kirishima, which was emitting black smoke on the river but had not sunk yet and was even sailing slowly.
The young martial artist looked at Ye Qingshan with a puzzled look.
"What else? What else do you want?"
Ye Qingshan turned and left the riverside. There was nothing left to see.
Xiao Wusheng quickly followed and continued to ask, "But the Japanese battleship hasn't sunk yet.
Shouldn't the bombing continue?"
Ye Qingshan sneered.
If the National Army really had the ability to sink a Japanese battleship, it would not have been possible before the Battle of Shanghai.
Even an enemy cruiser that was easier to sink could not be sunk.
Ye Qingshan knew very well that there would only be this wave of such bombing.
No matter how many more there are, the National Army Air Force will not be able to mobilize.
Not to mention whether they can afford the loss of their few pilots.
They probably didn't have many aerial bombs for the bombing.
Therefore, in Ye Qingshan's view, the bombing of the Japanese battleship Kirishima by the Nationalist Air Force was more symbolic than practical.
In this way, Ye Qingshan was already very satisfied.
It's better than them doing nothing.
The pilots of the National Air Force are still very brave.
As for the question asked by Xiao Wusheng, why the Japanese battleship did not sink.
After a while, Ye Qingshan said to Xiao Wusheng as he walked away, "You still want to rely on this small-intensity bombing.
Just sink the Japanese battleship with a displacement of over 30,000 tons?
If any country's air force bombers could really exchange a few aerial bombs for an enemy battleship.
Then no one in the world would build battleships anymore.
After all, a battleship costs as much as a few aerial bombs.
That thing is ten or even a hundred times stronger than you think.
Even if there are more waves of bombing like this, it will be difficult to sink the Japanese battleship."
"Ah? This kind of bombing is still of low intensity!"
The young martial artist was shocked again by Ye Qingshan's answer.
In Xiao Wusheng's opinion, the Kuomintang bomber group dispatched eight bombers to carry out this bombing.
The scale is already very large.
But in Ye Qingshan's view, it was just a small-intensity bombing.
This is not Xiao Wusheng and the others’ fault. Ye Qingshan knows much more than they do.
Naturally, they look down upon bombings of this intensity.
Look at the number of times the Americans sent out bombers to bomb Japanese warships and positions in one day during the Pacific War.
The number of bombers deployed by the Nationalist army this time is not even a fraction of the enemy's.
"Also, this Japanese battleship is so difficult to sink.
Then what should we do.
Sir, are you using the torpedoes you have been talking about?"
The little Wusheng knew some things because he had always been with Ye Qingshan.
He knew that Ye Qingshan had been waiting for something, which was also something he got from the Americans.
torpedo!
Ye Qingshan nodded: "Yes.
When dealing with such large battleships, aerial bombs are powerful, but their attack method is poor.
The most effective weapon to sink it is the torpedo."
“Of course, torpedo attacks are also the most suitable for us.
After all, I can't command the air force.
Being able to get two torpedo boats is my greatest achievement."
Ye Qingshan smiled bitterly.
At this time, on the Japanese battleship Kirishima,
The Japanese captain, Colonel Miyazaki, has already hidden in the cabin of the Kirishima.
Because, in the bombing just now, their bridge was damaged and they didn't dare to stay any longer.
He could only hide in the cabin to give commands.
"Baga, no way.
We can't be trapped in these waters any longer.
We must get out of this predicament as soon as possible.”
At this time, the demon Colonel Miyazaki no longer had the arrogance and arrogance he had before.
This bombing by the Kuomintang Air Force bomber group finally made him feel scared.
He was no longer the arrogant one who shouted as before when he was trapped: The Chinese simply have no ability to sink our Kirishima.
As a result, his ship, Kirishima, is now covered with wounds.
Although, it is still a long way from being sunk.
Even the Japanese colonel didn't dare to gamble.
Who knows what other follow-up tricks the National Army has.
What if the National Army really sinks their battleship?
They will be the sinners of the empire.
At that time, they will have no choice but to die in battle.
Because, surviving would be even more miserable.
"Break through, we must break through as soon as possible.
Miyamoto, have the flag bearer contact the Akikaze and have him send a telegram directly to the 13th Division headquarters.
Tell them the Chinese are crazy.
They are bombing us with bombers.
Let the reinforcements from their division arrive as soon as possible to help us clear the mines on the water.
Otherwise, our Kirishima battleship would be in trouble.
Their 13th Division cannot escape responsibility.
When the time comes, Hagisu Rippei will be severely punished by Prince Asaka Naruhiko and His Majesty."
The Japanese Colonel Miyazaki simply sent a telegram directly to the commander of the Japanese 13th Division, Division Commander Hagisu Rippei, threatening him.
Soon, when the commander of the Japanese 13th Division, Hagisu Rippei, received this telegram and read it.
The whole person was stunned on the spot.
But a moment later, he flew into a rage and yelled at Colonel Miyazaki: "Baga, Miyazaki Tsutsumi is such an idiot.
I'm going to shoot him.
Those idiots in our Admiralty are all idiots.
Why was such an idiot chosen to command the Kirishima?
He actually dared to send a telegram to threaten me. He is a colonel in the Navy Department, and he actually dared to threaten me. "
The old Japanese soldier, Hagisu Rippei, was so angry that his face turned red.
Indeed, no matter what, this old Japanese is still the commander of a Japanese division and has the rank of lieutenant general in the army.
Now, they were directly threatened by a colonel like Miyazaki, a colonel in the Navy Department who was at odds with them.
Anyone would be furious!
"This idiot should be killed in battle."
Hagisu Rippei couldn't suppress his anger and continued.
But, he said that just out of anger.
After he calmed down, he still had to find a way to rescue this Japanese navy colonel who had made him so angry.
