Chapter 598 Father and daughter meet
As soon as the three fighters took off, the second wave of attack came. Three bombers dived and bombed, focusing on the area where anti-aircraft fire was rising.
call out! Whoosh!
All three were heavy bombers, their bombs rained down like raindrops, and the sound of death penetrated the entire harbor.
boom! Boom boom boom!
A dense fire rose over the harbor, and the tracer bullets flying into the air could no longer be seen.
The three bombers took off and turned in a circle. Their mission had been completed and all that was left was to return and land.
Seeing that the harbor had been badly damaged, the third wave of bombers shook their wings slightly and flew towards the cargo ship that was loading cargo at the dock.
shhhhhh!
The bombs were fired rapidly and densely, a series of explosions sounded, and the three cargo ships suffered devastating blows.
The entire harbor was in chaos. Planes dived in formation, each attacking their own targets. Merchant ships were bombed and train stations were destroyed. Train stations were bombed and warehouses were destroyed. One formation of bombers had nothing left to bomb, so it flew west for a distance and dropped six bombs on the railway line.
The pace was very fast, and the attacks were almost wave after wave. In just over twenty minutes, the last plane pulled up.
Jennings had been circling after completing the mission, and when he saw the last plane complete the attack and all the attacks were intact, he picked up the walkie-talkie on the console.
"The command aircraft is calling the Jiaolong Regiment. The command aircraft is calling the Jiaolong Regiment. You can fire. I repeat, you can fire."
boom! Boom boom boom!
The two warships that were already within range opened fire. Their target was the four docks. If they were destroyed, it would take more than ten days or half a month to restore them.
boom! Boom boom boom!
When a huge flame rose on the dock, the commander of the garrison, Ozawa Tianyuan, pointed his command knife at his stomach. It was over, it was all over. The golden passage of the empire was destroyed in his own hands.
After half an hour of bombardment, several ports were blown to pieces. The two warships made a big circle and turned north to return.
The Central China Expeditionary Army Headquarters received the news and ordered the warships in Shanghai to provide rapid support. After calculating the time, they found that no matter where the planes took off from, they would not be able to return after arriving.
The cruiser passed by Arashiyama, and a bonfire was lit on the beach. When passing by here just now, Daya saw her father on the beach with a telescope. He was looking at the warship with the telescope she left behind. It seemed that he saw her. Her father was dancing with joy, which made Daya tearful.
Guan Caowang's navy members were all on the deck, and in the distance was their village! Although they could only see a bonfire, they felt extremely close to it.
In Qingdao City, with the last ray of light, all the planes landed successfully. Jennings's fighter plane was the last to land. He opened the cabin cover and raised his hands to cheer.
"Mister Chen, you have completed the mission successfully. Please prepare fine wine and delicious food for us! Let's celebrate and cheer tonight."
Chen Rongwei stretched out his hand and waved hello among the cheering crowd.
"Everything is ready, spare hangar number nine."
The Lianyungang Railway Station and the dock were engulfed in flames. Ore and refined iron could not burn, but food could. Food was piled up into small hills at the station and the dock. The fire was initially out of control, and when the crisis was discovered and efforts were made to control it, it was no longer possible.
The sky above the station and the dock was dark red, and the previously stored coal was ignited. The fire hoses were completely useless, and the more they poured, the more intense the burning became.
The Lianyungang port was bombed, and the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army Command and Headquarters were very angry. It was a cold gun, so hateful. They did not pay the price to destroy his navy and air force at the beginning, but now they are paying the price for their carelessness.
Guancaowang, Daya's father watched through the telescope as two large black shadows disappeared and knew that his daughter was there. He had heard from Captain Huang in the afternoon that they were going to bomb the Haizhou city dock. Although he only saw his daughter through the telescope from a few miles away, Lao Liang was still very satisfied.
"Uncle Liang, have you seen the girl?"
"Captain Huang, I saw that the girl seems to have lost weight."
"Impossible! The food in the Jiaolong Regiment of the Navy is very good. It was prepared by the captain himself. And the pilots in the Air Force eat half a dollar a day. We are so envious of them."
Uncle Liang chuckled and said that his daughter had good food, and she was happy to hear that.
"Captain Huang, are you still busy? If not, come to my house for dinner!"
"We are not busy anymore. We are just guarding the seashore to see if there are any pilots parachuting. If they jump into the sea, we can go into the sea to rescue them. Qingdao Airport has sent a message that all planes have returned successfully and our mission is over."
"That's good. Let's go home. Qingqing's father gave me a big yellow croaker, which weighs more than three pounds. I'll steam it for you when we get home."
"Oh, then I have to try it. Ever since the captain said he likes to eat this stuff, yellow croaker has become a rare thing now. Three pounds of yellow croaker is not cheap! I won't eat it for free. There are two bottles of good wine in the car. I'll take them and drink with us."
"Captain, Captain Chen from Cangkou Airport sent a telegram stating that all planes are returning. All the flight trainees have completed their missions brilliantly and all the targets have been blown up. In addition, the Jiaolong Regiment sent a message saying that they have blown up the port terminal and are returning. They are expected to be back in Jiaozhou Bay at 8:30 p.m."
"Good, beautiful. With the bombing by the navy and air force, we don't have to worry about attacking the Longhai East Line anymore."
Chen Guoqing crossed his legs and smoked.
"Is it worth it? It's just a port, and at most a train station. I think it would be more fun to find an opportunity to bomb targets like the Japanese military camps and airports."
"Brother Guoqing, this is something on the strategic level. After our bombing, the Japanese may not be able to load ships for half a month to a month. Do you know how much refined iron and ore the Japanese can load in this half month?"
"Let me do the math for you. The displacement of the Japanese cargo ships is between 4,500 and 6,400 tons. We assume an average of 5,000 tons. If we load three times a day, four ships at a time, and fill up 12 cargo ships a day, that's 60,000 tons. Even if they take 20 days to restore the port, that's still 1.2 million tons less. These are not all iron ore, at least one third to one half of them are refined iron. Without these ores and refined iron, many military industrial enterprises may have to stop production. Which do you think is more important, these or the 1,800 Japs?"
Chen Guoqing put away his crossed legs and stopped smiling playfully.
"Is it so cruel? It seems that he cannot open this railway line. No wonder they have invested such a large number of troops. This is a golden channel!"
"This was a sneak attack, and the Japs were careless. There won't be such an opportunity next time. The Japanese army will definitely strengthen the vigilance in Lianyungang, and will make it airtight both at sea and in the air."
"Then wait until they finish building the seaport, then we can build the railway line?"
"No, we have to act quickly, otherwise they will keep transporting it. They can just open a mine and store tens of millions of tons of refined iron. We can't let them just take it away like that."
