923 Raid on Pearl Harbor (3)(1/2)
Americans are still very good at learning. They have taken many of the heavy losses suffered by the Japanese army seriously. Especially the battles for the Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan Island, as well as several battles against the Japanese mainland, the US military has been cautious and conscientious.
After analysis, we finally came to the conclusion---never take out all the weapons.
It sounds like nonsense, but who doesn’t know to be cautious?
What the actual situation means is that all defensive measures should not be put on the surface.
Generally speaking, ground facilities such as coastal defense and island defense in various countries are almost all artificially constructed on the surface, and then some camouflage is added, and the camouflage technology is still very primitive. This is all because countries have not suffered too many air strikes before.
loss, or extremely confident in one's own air defense capabilities.
During the Sino-Japanese War, various air-to-ground attack methods were constantly exposed, constantly refreshing the understanding of everyone involved, and then forcing them to come up with more and better ways to avoid them as much as possible. Obviously, in this regard, they have been beaten several times.
The Japanese have the most say.
After partnering with the US military, the Japanese said everything they needed to say for their own benefit. So in places like Hawaii and Midway Island, military facilities that were originally simply exposed began to move toward the mountains, and those places with slightly thinner surface protection were
Don’t dare to use it—Chinese bombs can penetrate into reinforced concrete bunkers more than ten meters deep! God knows how they did it and how they discovered it!
Hawaii Island is an important gateway for the United States in the Pacific. No amount of precautions can be overestimated. As the battle broke out, some camouflage methods were added to the military units built earlier, especially the air defense facilities. However, it was obvious that they were not like Zhu Jiajun.
There are even materials that can isolate infrared rays. Under the simple tarpaulin, the heat source signal can be clearly detected by satellites, and unmanned reconnaissance drones can take clear photos, so the first round of attacks falls on them first!
This alone is enough to make everyone in the U.S. military lament! Even their own aerial reconnaissance could not detect important units. As a result, they were bombed to pieces when they came up. It was as clear as if they were deployed in person!
The Flying Dragon fighter's skimming speed was too fast, and the ground anti-aircraft fire had no time to aim, let alone hit.
Now, finally, a slower attack plane has arrived, so the guys who were originally hidden underground and in caves can come out and deal a heavy blow!
I have to admit that the US military's wealth is the envy of the whole world. As soon as their industrial machinery is turned on, countless weapons roll out like running water, and they can fill a large number of cargo ships on the West Coast every day. It can only be said that you don't have enough manpower.
There are not enough weapons.
The bombing by two jet fighters, plus the aerial bomb strike by the "Sea Falcon" attack aircraft, only destroyed the units on the surface. At this time, the artillery fire of various sizes and calibers pushed out from the hiding place, with the help of the cover of the billowing smoke,
Quickly deploy into the preset position, the lightest twin-mounted 12.7mm heavy machine gun and 20mm machine gun, and fire first!
The JF-1B Sea Falcon attack aircraft that was flying and circling over Pearl Harbor was suddenly strafed by a hail of bullets from the ground. It immediately scattered in all directions like a flock of frightened birds. It was originally only traveling at a speed of 500 kilometers, but at a full 3,000 kilometers
Under the full output of the Tesla turbo two-stage supercharged engine, it quickly broke through the 600-kilometer limit. It seemed clumsy, and its thick body dodged left and right. Its maneuverability was not weaker than that of a conventional fighter jet for a while!
The 12.7mm Browning heavy machine gun, which can smash any kind of U.S. military fighter plane to pieces, has a very high rate of fire and a huge range. It sweeps dozens of positions together, and the bullet stream formed quickly bites it.
With the body of the "Sea Falcon", the American troops on the ground let out excited shouts, eagerly waiting to see those abominable things crash with long plumes of smoke behind them.
---No! The shootdown they expected, no!
The attack units targeted by the "Sea Falcon" attack aircraft are warships with sufficient firepower. What they have to deal with are the fragments of 37mm, 40mm anti-aircraft guns, and 76mm anti-aircraft guns. Therefore, it has such a large power, but its speed is not particularly fast.
Because the armor of the body is too thick!
Especially around the abdomen, engine, and cockpit, a thick layer of composite armor can block 12.7mm armor-piercing bullets. Even if the 25mm cannon hits it and explodes, it will not damage the core components, even in the wings.
, all have a layer of basalt fiber composite board, which limits the damage after being shot to the greatest extent.
The heavy machine gun bullets sprayed from the ground only shattered the armor on the abdomen, leaving messy pits, or opened a few transparent holes in the wings, but they never tore through the large holes in the mouth of the bowl under ordinary conditions.
The power, those fighter planes, the way they fly, are completely fine!
But even so, he still gave the other party a hard warning.
A scene of anti-aircraft fire suddenly appeared on the ground. It was photographed by a small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and transmitted to the fleet command center behind in real time. The fleet air force commander immediately issued a detailed warning!
"Warning! Warning! There is a large amount of unknown anti-aircraft firepower below you. The quantity and power are enough to pose a fatal threat. Please maneuver to avoid it immediately and try to destroy it in advance!"
Immediately, the coordinates of each fire point were transmitted back to the airborne tactical platform screen of the forward attack aircraft, including some large-caliber anti-aircraft guns that had just been pulled out and had not yet been debugged!
Zhu Bin has spent a lot of money on his own ocean-going fleet! Every weapon is equipped with the best possible equipment. As a part of the ship's long-range suppression weapons, attack aircraft are not equipped with radars due to design limitations, but they are cheap.
The computer platform is stuffed in, and equipped with a panel screen to receive updated target coordinates from pre-precision machines or other reconnaissance units in real time.
This kind of overall combat method is a fantasy for the armies of other countries, but the entire ocean fleet has become accustomed to it.
The fleet's long-range support came over, and the pilots of all attack aircraft responded immediately: "Understood! We have seen the firepower of the Yankees! Damn you, you have gone astray and hid in advance! Go to hell!"
The fighter plane that was hit by the machine gun performed various actions such as climbing at a high angle, somersaulting, rolling, turning in a small radius, etc. After asking for intensive shooting at the first time, it turned around and faced the constantly flashing light spots and bullet tracers.
At the end, a string of rockets sprayed out unceremoniously. Then, he pushed the joystick to press the fuselage extremely low, and dived hard. The three-barreled cannon rotated like wind, spraying
A series of tongues of fire!
Each attack aircraft is equipped with two rocket nests, each with 32 57mm rockets. The low-altitude strike density and speed are about the same as the Death Sickle!
The most ruthless thing is that the Zhu Jiajun won with consistent firepower from top to bottom. Once all the fighters enter the battle, they must pour out all their weapons and ammunition as much as possible as soon as possible, instead of slowly dealing with the enemy. There is no such thing.
Free time!
Groups of "Sea Falcon" attack planes each locked on nearby targets, launched a series of rockets, and long tongues of flames continued, and then pulled out a one-kilometer-long explosion zone on the ground along the direction of travel.
, splashing sparks, boiling smoke, rolling flames, and countless fragments formed a mountain of flames that swallowed oxygen rapidly and set off strong winds!
Those heavy machine guns and machine guns that had just finished shooting a chain of ammunition were devoured and torn apart by sudden explosions before they even had time to replace them with new ammunition! The overwhelming rockets left no room for them at all.
Any hiding space is covered without blind spots. A few hundred meters in radius are filled with life-threatening prefabricated fragments, steel balls and flying fragments. If you touch them, you will die. If you touch them, you will die!
Instead of escaping, the "Sea Falcon" accelerated its speed and flew at low altitude. It gave full play to its powerful power and maneuverability, roaring wildly along the undulating mountains, from the treetops, and from the top of the tower crane. Door after door had just left the bunker.
The anti-aircraft guns that were pulled out were overwhelmed by the sudden incoming rockets before the muzzle was raised!
Some locations are more tricky. Those with steep mountain walls are facing piles of smart bombs. The slender things that are simply shaken out from low altitudes are used to destroy bunkers. Some even have half-meter-thick reinforced concrete roofs.
The underground gun emplacements were all pierced one by one and blown to pieces!
The blast of the three-barreled machine gun was as fast as a violent storm. Even the double-mounted heavy machine gun of the US military could not keep up with the speed. It swept past and exploded into pieces. The car was torn into pieces, and the machine gun fortress disguised as a container was beaten into pieces.
The broken pieces and even the tower crane that was supposed to be spared were all unlucky and were blown up crookedly and out of shape.
The collective explosion of dozens of "Sea Falcons" stunned a group of U.S. military commanders! Major General Bellinger wiped his eyes hard in disbelief and murmured: "Oh God! Is it possible that there are all the people on the Chinese planes?"
With a whole ammunition truck?! Or did they just bring the gunboat on board?!"
It's simply a crazy attack capability! Not to mention the terrifying gliding bomb dropped first, the rocket nest alone seemed to have endless rockets inside! The hail also seemed to be constantly dropping bombs, the number was staggering! As for the
The machine gun fire from behind... In fact, everyone was already numb.
They don't know that the JF-1B attack aircraft has up to 15 mounting points and can carry more than six tons of ammunition at a time. From the bottom, it looks like a belly piled with bombs. Even a military truck may not have it.
Pull a lot!
Not to mention, all the weapons and ammunition used by Zhu Jiajun are filled with fuel, and their power is more than twice as powerful as those of other countries!
Nimitz shook his head helplessly. This war is really unwinnable! The two sides are not at the same balance of force. Regardless of other things, just the group of majestic bombers in front of them (this is what the US military thinks), if the opponent does not count the losses.
The U.S. fleet launches a group attack. Even if there is a wireless proximity fuze, it may not be of any use!
When such a fighter plane is projected down in full force, not to mention a destroyer, even a cruiser cannot withstand it! A one-ton gliding bomb is a terrifying thing that can break holes in the horizontal armor of a battleship!
This situation was obviously beyond their expectations. Major General Bellinger reacted quickly and hurriedly ordered: "Don't push out the remaining anti-aircraft firepower! Just let the Chinamen bomb! They will land after all.
It’s never too late to punish them severely!”
Other than that, what else can you do? You know that ground artillery fire can't knock down a few enemy planes. Maybe after a while, those abnormal jet fighters will come again, and maybe they can hit harder! In your own hands, you can't do that.
I don't even know the chips.
After issuing this extremely humiliating order, Major General Bellinger clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and swore: "When our advanced fighter aircraft are successfully researched, Chinamen, I will let you know our interests."
!”
The U.S. aviation industry has always been the largest in the world. Now, major aircraft companies are working overtime to research bigger bombers and faster fighters, including jet fighters!
The British and Germans have secretly developed this seemingly unreliable and immature gadget, and the resulting fighter plane will also undergo test flights in the near future. In order to gain strong support from the United States, the British secretly revealed this
According to the news, the U.S. military, under pressure from the Chinese Air Force, paid a little extra to track the entire process, and was specifically hosted by General Motors. The first type of i-a engine introduced has been successfully manufactured and is waiting for the fighter aircraft to be put into test flight after completion.
However, this will have to wait until next year, and even if it is built, it is still unknown whether it can be better than the Chinese. At least the current flight speed that can be calculated is far from the level of Chinese fighters, but it is always a good start.
What?
Although the Army is in charge of the introduction, the Navy will not delay because it is the main combatant. Bellinger firmly believes that as long as there is a little more time, with the strong scientific research and industrial strength of the United States, it will definitely surpass the Chinese.
question.
"Let's just let you be rampant for a while! The real battle is still to come!"
Okay, this is a desperate decision, but no matter what, pushing out the remaining air defense units will have no significance in changing the entire battle situation. The commanders can still see this relatively clearly.
After firing all the ammunition, "Sea Falcon" Shi Shiran turned around and left. At this time, the first batch of Flying Dragon fighter jets had already replenished ammunition and fuel, and rushed over again, taking over the dominance of the entire airspace and driving the U.S. military from the south to the sea.
On the aircraft carrier, the fighter jets taking off from the three aircraft carriers were suppressed again, not giving them any chance to move forward and threaten the aircraft carrier formation.
The air superiority of the entire airspace is undoubtedly in the hands of the attacker.
In the northern waters, the aircraft carrier formation advanced for more than 60 kilometers without any pressure, less than 240 kilometers away from Oahu. The front end of the air battle advanced to about 150 kilometers. Basically, the two sides took off and reached high altitudes and could see each other in the distance.
Accelerate forward and enter the state of bayonet fighting!
The battle is one-sided! Even if the two aircraft carriers use only half of their carrier-based aircraft, the total number of Shark-e aircraft, no more than 72, will take turns to fight, and the entire area will be firmly locked.
How come the air force conflicts, apart from being constantly shot down, the results are very few!
This is the true strength of the entire ocean fleet!
Several majors in charge of air command shouted in despair: "We can't stop him! Damn it! Why do they have so many rockets! Can't they use them all?"
To be continued...
