Chapter 470 The Battle of the Pacific Ocean (6)

The second batch of 17 97 ships were originally going to attack one minute later, but when they saw that the partners in front were dead so miserably. The strange rain of bullets swept through the air from both directions was so accurate that it was so terrifying. How could they not know what strange weapons must be installed on the opponent's warship?

But now they can't change their strategy. They want to climb from a height of about 100 meters to 4,000 meters, at least ten minutes. For such a long time, they are all in the other fleet circle. It's enough to kill ten times. For the sake of the present, they can only fight!

All the nineteen seven ships were attacking each other and dived to 60 meters at the same time, preparing to drop the torpedo at an angle of 22 degrees. In that case, in about one minute, you can see an exciting light of water columns rushing into the sky! Their mission can be completed!

But things went against their wishes! They obviously lacked the most basic understanding of how perverted the enemy they were facing!

More than a dozen fire whips suddenly arrived! The near-defense turret calibrated by ** fire-controlled radar and laser, and the steering driven by high-power stepper motors, aiming speed is calculated in milliseconds! Not to mention that these slow fighters, even higher-speed subsonic fighters, and even large shells with terminal speeds lower than the speed of sound, are all intercepting!

The 17 97 ships were invaded and all exploded in the air in less than 5 seconds. The neat explosion scene seemed to hit an invisible barrier. Looking down from a high altitude, the huge battleship and aircraft carrier were like terrifying giants with arms. With a slight wave, everything was shattered!

At this time, the a6m3 fighter fleet that escaped by luck had just been pulled up and did not even rush out of the fleet's defense circle. They were left behind. The 97 ship attack, which was intended to complete the combat mission, was turned into parts. The pilot who turned his head and prepared to watch the fun was immediately cold all over!

Their ability to escape smoothly is not because they have already crossed the opponent's defensive fire net, but because they have the choice to carry out target strikes!

"Get out quickly! Leave them all!"

A shrill shout rang out on the radio, and all the fighter planes accelerated desperately. Even though they had the climbing speed that was known as the world's number one, and they pulled up strongly at the high speed of diving, they wanted to break out of the killing range of the anti-aircraft artillery. It would take at least one minute, and this minute would destiny!

The destroyer cannons in the second half, fire! The heavy cruiser rotates the turrets and fires! The battleship's sub-cannons! The aircraft carrier cannons, fire together!

The deafening explosions made the sea surface within a radius of more than ten kilometers seem to be trapped in the center of a thunder and heavy rain. Thousands of artillery shells rushed to all altitudes in a swarm, from the lowest 1,000-meter machine gun, 2,000-meter close-defense gun, 3,000-meter Bofos gun, 4,000-meter 76.2 three-inch gun, 105 and 127 high-level dual-purpose guns above five thousand meters, and various explosives were either fixed-height or radio explosions. The sky and the earth seemed to be about to turn over, and the boiling smoke instantly made the sunlight covered by the clear sky unable to penetrate!

The Japanese planes were broken and disintegrated, and even the larger structure could not be maintained. The pilots were willing or not, parachuted or not. They were all swept into the infinite fire of killing and fire and turned into a ball of meat paste, falling to the sea with a sensation.

Several destroyers walking behind were caught. The wreckage of the plane that was burning with fire fell down, and although it could not cause much damage on the deck, it could not bear it in relatively weak places such as machine guns and chimneys! The people on the deck hid in the bunkers, and the explosion foam of fire fighting continued to splash large pieces of white droplets, looking messy.

In the commander's room of the "Akagi" three-person staff deducted the phone number, their face turned pale, and they stuttered: "Report to the Commander! The first wave of fighter attack groups are all broken!... No predetermined results were achieved!"

"Now mud?!"

Chief of Staff Io Takahashi screamed in disbelief: "How is that possible! That is a total of 120 fighter jets, but the best pilot in the empire! It is also equipped with our carefully formulated combat plan, and even in the face of powerful air defense firepower, it can be broken through! This has been proven through many exercises, and even our huge fleet cannot stop it. How can they...!"

Yamamoto Iroji raised his hand to stop his words, narrowed his eyes slightly, and pondered meaningfully: "Are all broken? It seems that the Chinese fleet's air defense force is stronger than we expected! The answer to the attack mystery of more than 100 aircraft is indeed not enough! There are still too few aircraft carriers!"

He looked up again and saw that the group of flexible "flying sharks" who were still outside the fleet's air defense firepower limit range, fighting with the second wave of fighter jets, nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that the other party should know that the lack of aircraft raids would be impossible to achieve results, so there was no immediate attack. What a pity."

Air raids and air defense are the two sides of the spear and the shield. Everyone wants to gain the upper hand, but it is very difficult to find out the point of breaking the balance.

Yamamoto Izuru always believed that aircraft would definitely defeat all surface ships, and intensive dive bombing could completely defeat all warships. The bombshells and torpedoes dropped from high altitude will become unstoppable killers. At least a few years ago, his theory was undoubtedly correct.

However, the experience of the navy suffering losses in several wars against China made him realize that the air defense power of warships is also constantly increasing. As long as it reaches a certain level, dive bombing is no different from suicide for weak fighters. The number of aircraft groups, flight speed, and attack technology must be strengthened.

In order to achieve this goal, he personally calmed down and devoted himself to the research for many years, which led to the seemingly huge attack formation today. The four aircraft carriers that attacked in one attack alone carried more than 200 various fighter jets, about one quarter of the entire naval carrier-based aircraft. Such a scale is unprecedented. Even the fleet that has been modified to the maximum extent may not be able to stop it, but it actually failed!

"I guess those stubborn guys will laugh at me when they know this news, right?" Yamamoto Iroji shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, then returned to his calm face. He ordered, "Let the second attack aircraft group continue to fight with the Chinese fighter jets, and be sure not to give them the opportunity to attack the fleet. At the same time, each ship advances quickly and strive to form a close-range deterrent against the enemy fleet as soon as possible!"

If the Air Force cannot break through, then it just needs to continue to confront the giant cannon!

In this regard, Yamamoto Iroji is not worried. On his side, there are four battleships, Nagato and Muro, who are all the main guns of the other side, and although the number is 2 less, the other two Ise and Hinata have 8 main guns of 356mm, which is enough to form an overwhelming firepower density. The other eight heavy cruisers are much stronger than the opponent's firepower, even if they fight head-on, the winning chance is also huge!

After thinking about it, Yamamoto said again: "Order the second team to accelerate and get closer as soon as possible. When the scheduled arrival at 200 nautical miles, the carrier-based fighter jets can take off first to form an advantageous number against the Chinese Air Force. Try to launch a second air strike before the fleet enters the artillery shooting distance!"

"Hi!" The three consultants repeated the order correctly and immediately sent it out.

Iwang Takahashi looked up at his resolute expression. He swallowed up the dissuasion words that had flowed to his mouth. It was too difficult to convince the commander not to play the Air Force victory. Let him try it to the end.

In the second team, the two latest aircraft carriers, "Canglong" and "Flying Dragon", were assembled. The two ships "Kaga" were almost finished in 35. They thought they were going to be scrapped, so they had to carry out aircraft carrier replenishment plans in advance. The two ships were similar, carrying 57+16 fighter jets, but the two ships with 152,000 horsepower could reach a high speed of 34.5 knots, making them a model for the latest generation of high-speed warships.

At the same time as them, four battleships, "Hirei", "Kikishima", "Fusan" and "Yama Castle", were equipped with heavy patrols and destroyers, and they set out one after another with the First Team, but the direction went straight to the south, and circled around Minato Island along the Ogasawara Islands, almost chasing the tail of the First Squadron to form two sides of attack.

Now, the second team is still hundreds of nautical miles away from here. If it runs at the highest speed of 24 knots, it will take several hours. As long as the enemy ships do not deliberately avoid it, in a few hours, both sides will enter the range of naval guns at the same time. At that time, there will be a spectacular scene of two powerful fleets fighting among eight battleships across dozens of nautical miles!

"With such a powerful artillery attack, no matter how cunning the Chinese people are, they will never be able to escape! They are dead!"

When the three staff members thought of the spectacular scene where hundreds of giant cannons roared together and half of the ocean was about to be turned over, they couldn't help but rush their blood! As the emperor, if you can encounter such a great battle in your life, you can rest assured even if you die!

In the sky, nearly 200 fighter jets on both sides had clear barriers, each forming a formation and constantly entangled at an altitude of more than three or four thousand meters. Because of the orders between the two sides, no one was trying to fight. Even more than 30 F-25 dive bombers hid on the side and circled freely, watching 72 "flying sharks" circled around the Japanese fighter jets, always wandering around ten kilometers away from the Japanese warships. From time to time, they were divided into 12 squadrons and rushed in. As long as they attracted the blockers, they would immediately turn around and tangle for a few moments. The cold-shot was a short shot, which made the Japanese army group very annoyed.

Under this strange situation, the first Japanese army team opened the formation without stopping, rushing straight ahead, ready to seize the t-shaped head at any time, and pull it into a battle line and take the lead!

The two sides advanced in unison, and after two hours, it was approaching 100 nautical miles. The two huge clusters looked like super arrows dozens of miles wide, splitting the vast sea and facing each other. They seemed to be unwilling to give in. In the sky on the east side, a long-range patrol aircraft taking off from Hawaii, USA was accelerating. It is so lively that you must watch it!

"Report! The second Japanese fleet has detoured to 120 nautical miles from our direction at seven o'clock, with a speed of about 24 knots. Its carrier-based aircraft group has taken off and is moving towards the first enemy fleet!"

The investigation report from the periphery submarine was placed on the desk in detail. Chen Shaokuan lowered his head and glanced at the chart, with his mouth slightly raised: "Haha, this is to attack the front and tail, and to wrap our dumplings! I think beautifully!"

He stood up, his face flashed with unprecedented light, and said loudly: "Order the fleet to move forward at full speed, 280 directions, see who is running faster!"!~!
