The remaining Camel fighter jets had just begun to accelerate away when they realized something was wrong. The Sailfish fighter jets were too fast and were all shot down before they could escape far.
Half an hour later, the slow-moving Handley Page bombers arrived belatedly. Since there were no fighter jets to escape, they had no idea of the situation in this airspace, so they rushed straight over.
At this time, the Chinese Empire's aircraft carrier fleet was also caught off guard. After contacting Wan Yong via radio, he learned that the air battle just now had almost exhausted the fuel and ammunition of all the fighter jets. At this time, they were landing one after another, and there was no air defense in the fleet.
Strength.
If fighter jets are forced to intercept, I am afraid that these fighter jets will eventually run out of fuel and make an emergency landing on the sea. In that case, the fleet will lose almost all fighter jets, and the subsequent battle will be impossible to fight, and the aircraft carrier fleet will lose its air defense capabilities.
When the lookout saw the bomber appearing at the junction of the sea and the sky from a distance, he immediately notified the bridge by phone. After receiving the report, Wan Yong's heart sank. Now that the fighter's ammunition and fuel have been exhausted, there is no way to
It was during this slow time to intercept enemy planes that an enemy plane arrived, and the lookout confirmed that it was a bomber.
At this time, Wan Yong regretted his lack of experience. He only knew to intercept the opponent's aircraft as much as possible beforehand. As a result, he sent out all the fighter jets. He did not expect that the opponent would come in waves. Now there are no more fighter jets on the aircraft carrier that can replace the attack.
.
After all, the fleet has too few escort warships. It was barely enough to escort the aircraft carrier for air defense, but now it is beyond its capabilities to protect the aircraft carrier and the huge troop transport fleet.
The opponent's bombers would arrive in five minutes at most. If it was too late to refuel and reload the fighter jets after landing, Wan Yong was caught in a dilemma.
Just when Wan Yong was at a loss what to do, out of the corner of his eye he suddenly saw the Swordfish attack aircraft arranged neatly in the parking area. These aircraft were waiting to attack land targets and clear obstacles for the landing troops. At this time, they were already full of fuel.
Full of ammunition, ready to attack at any time.
"Immediately order all attack aircraft to take off, drop their bombs at sea to reduce their weight, and then attack the Saar bombers." Wan Yong gave an order to the communicator.
A shrill siren sounded again on the aircraft carrier. The pilots of the attack aircraft ran towards the deck as fast as they could. Chen Feng quickly stepped into his cabin. The mechanic began to help him fasten his parachute backpack and confirmed each one for the last time.
kind of instrument.
Like Qi Hui, Chen Feng also switched from seaplanes to carrier-based aircraft, but Qi Hui chose to join the fighter force, while Chen Feng failed. In the end, he had to change to fly attack aircraft, for which he was very regretful.
I originally thought that I would have to wait until I was close to Cape Town Harbor before I would have the opportunity to launch an attack. I didn't expect that I would be able to launch a launch at sea at this time, and I would also act as a guest fighter to intercept enemy bombers.
Chen Feng's attack aircraft quickly ignited successfully. With the permission of the tower commander, he pushed the throttle to the bottom, held the control stick tightly with both hands, and the aircraft slowly slid forward on the deck.
The engine with full horsepower made a tremor, and a puff of black smoke came out of the exhaust pipe. The plane began to slide slowly on the deck runway, and the speed slowly increased. The entire plane became faster and faster. At the last moment of leaving the deck, Chen Feng
The Swordfish attack aircraft he was piloting raised its nose with difficulty and rose into the air.
"Throw away the bomb quickly, let's intercept the bomber." Drawing a semicircle in the air, Chen Feng reminded Qin Ze, the bombardier behind him, through the microphone.
After receiving Chen Feng's order, Qin Ze pressed the bomb release button. The 500 kilogram bomb under the fuselage detached from the pylon. The heavy bomb fell into the water and exploded, causing a high water column, and Chen Feng's fighter jet
The weight suddenly decreased, and the nose of the machine was raised involuntarily.
The altitude of the aircraft increased to four thousand meters, and Chen Feng saw the Saar bomber that was flying closer and closer. Seeing the enemy plane, Chen Feng turned on the afterburner and rushed forward. Behind him were attacks that dropped bombs one after another.
fleet.
The huge and ugly fuselage of the Handley Page bomber was flying at an altitude of five thousand meters, with four 100-horsepower engines rumbling, making the moving aircraft tremble.
The Handley Page bomber has a very peculiar shape. It is equipped with three members. The last one is the bombardier, the one sitting in the middle is the pilot, and the one sitting in the first position is operating a 7.7mm machine gun.
Observer and machine gunner.
The pilot of the Handley Page bomber had poor visibility, so he mainly relied on the machine gunner sitting in the first position to observe the situation ahead. When he saw a large number of Imperial aircraft arriving, he immediately set up the machine gun and reported the situation at the same time.
Notified the pilot.
The machine gunner on the bomber started shooting at the oncoming attack aircraft, but the range of the 7.7 mm machine gun was not far and it was impossible to hit the Swordfish attack aircraft that was still a thousand meters away.
In the astonished eyes of the bomber's gunners, these attack aircraft not only did not raise their altitude to start attacking, but instead lowered their altitude and passed under the bomber.
There is no machine gun on the nose of the Swordfish attack aircraft. The only weapon is a seven-millimeter machine gun operated by the bombardier in the back seat. This machine gun cannot fire forward, so Chen Feng can only fly the aircraft from below.
Pass.
Chen Feng's plane rushed past the bomber, and Qin Ze quickly picked up the machine gun and fired towards the tail of the plane. However, the two sides were facing each other, and the superimposed speed of the two planes was quite amazing, giving Qin Ze little time to shoot.
"This won't work." Chen Feng frowned slightly. It was impossible to hit the bomber with such a high relative speed. Seeing that the Sarr bombers were getting closer and closer to his own fleet, Chen Feng gritted his teeth and chased after him from behind.
The machine gun was unable to shoot straight ahead. Chen Feng pressed the nose of the aircraft and got under the opponent's belly again. Trying to maintain the relative speed of the two sides, the Saar bomber was only fifty meters away from Chen Feng's head.
"Start shooting now." Chen Feng shouted. Qin Ze adjusted the machine gun to the maximum shooting angle, and the muzzle of the gun was almost vertically upward and started shooting. Regardless of the hot bullet cases falling on him, Qin Ze firmly held down the machine gun.
's trigger.
A long fire snake came up from the bottom and struck hard on the belly of the Handley Page bomber. The plane was immediately hit with sawdust flying everywhere, and the hot bullets penetrated the bomb compartment and directly hit the aerial bomb that was about to be launched.
Detonated, with several explosions, the bomber exploded into a pile of fragments in the air, and the three members on it had long been dead.
