The four projectile planes on the two destroyers were launched at full speed, shooting a tinfoil curtain wall in front of the fleet. However, the Boston sailors did not understand the principle of tinfoil interference. The density of the tinfoil strips shot by the two destroyers was simply not enough. If it were the current equipment of the Chinese Empire Navy,
The missiles will still have some effect, and the Iron Blood Army's new missile guidance method is very advanced and will not be disturbed by primitive interference methods such as tin foil strips.
The super-fast missile broke through the interference of the tin foil curtain wall without any obstruction. Seeing the missile coming, the Boston sailors hurriedly turned the anti-aircraft cannon to take aim. However, how could the high-speed flying missile be intercepted by the manually operated anti-aircraft cannon?
Facing the missile flying at high speed, the Boston sailors turned the muzzle in vain, but it had no effect at all.
Eighteen missiles pierced into the aircraft carrier's hull from both upper and lower directions without any hindrance. The huge explosion produced strong shock waves and air waves. The flight deck of the Langley bulged violently, and then quickly collapsed, destroying the aircraft carrier.
The entire hull broke in half and quickly began to sink.
The other six missiles were guided by early warning aircraft and evenly distributed among the two destroyers. The two destroyers, which had a displacement of just over a thousand tons, could not withstand even one missile. Under the saturation attack of three missiles, the warship was directly bombarded.
To the scum.
The three Boston battleships were completely destroyed by a swarm of attacking missiles before they could even send out an alarm signal. The three warships quickly sank to the bottom of the sea. The surviving sailors struggled desperately on the surface, even General Burke was no exception.
Soon a dozen large seaplanes flew over. These were large water patrol planes of the Iron Blood Coast Rescue Team. They picked up the few survivors on the plane and took them back to New Guia, waiting for them.
It will be a long period of imprisonment.
General Burke sent a report to the main fleet before dispatching the reconnaissance plane, reporting his position and action, but Remus did not pay attention to it at all. Even in the following hours, there was no follow-up information.
He did not realize that something was wrong with the situation, because at this time he was concentrating on commanding the aircraft on the aircraft carrier to take off and carry out air strikes on Oahu.
In order to defeat possible resistance forces on the Oahu Islands, it is very necessary to carry out early air strikes, so Remus dispatched a thousand aircraft of various types as the first wave of attack aircraft. This batch of aircraft included 400
Dauntless dive bombers, three hundred and seventy Avenger torpedo planes and two hundred Corsair fighter jets. In order to maximize attack efficiency, all aircraft were loaded with bombs as much as possible, even the fighter jets were no exception.
They took off a hundred nautical miles away from Oahu, formed a huge fleet, and flew towards the Oahu Islands.
The radar station on the Oahu Islands had already detected the opponent's movements. When the Boston fleet's aircraft began to take off, the combat command of the Oahu Islands also issued an order for all fighter jets to take off to intercept. More than 500 Golden Eagle 4
The fighter jet took off into the air and flew towards the enemy.
Under the guidance of ground radar, the Golden Eagle 4 fighter jets quickly encountered the Boston Empire's joint fleet. The results of the air battle can be imagined. How can the slow propeller aircraft be the opponent of the high-speed Golden Eagle 4? A large number of aircraft were quickly
After being shot down, the remaining ones had to throw the bombs into the sea in a hurry and turn around to escape.
The Golden Eagle 4 fighter group pursued them all the way, but in order not to overly stimulate the Boston fleet, they did not pursue them to the sky above the fleet, but returned halfway. This allowed many remaining Boston aircraft to survive, but even so, the survivors
There are only a little over a hundred aircraft.
Remus was shocked to hear that there were a large number of shore-based jet fighters on the Oahu Islands. He was not an idiot. Although the Boston Empire had many carrier-based aircraft, they were all propeller aircraft.
The plane's subordinates are not easy to please.
Remus walked around the command room a few times with his hands behind his back, then leaned on the map table and looked at it carefully and asked: "According to the information of the intelligence department, the opponent's Golden Eagle 4 fighter has a range of only 1,300 kilometers.
?"
The staff officer on the side said: "Yes, based on their flight range and flight time in previous battles, it should be about the same."
Remus nodded and said: "Very good, order the fleet to turn to the southwest and we will leave."
"What?" the combat staff exclaimed, "Commander, are we not going to attack the Oahu Islands?"
Remus said: "The other side has a large air force on Oahu. How can we fight if it is heavily guarded?"
The combat staff officer said: "But if we go back like this, I'm afraid we will be sent to a military court."
Remus smiled strangely and said: "Who said that when we go back, we need to use more brains in the battle to prevent the enemy from thinking about what we are going to do? Do you understand? Now we are turning to attack Weir Island. They will not be able to think of it." Remus touched his chin and shook his head.
, pretending to be incomprehensible.
Remus pointed at the positions of Vail Island and Oahu Islands on the chart with his fat fingers and said: "The range of the Golden Eagle 4 fighter is only more than 1,300 kilometers, and the maximum combat radius is only five
Six hundred kilometers. Vail Island is located more than 1,200 kilometers south of Oahu, and is simply outside the combat range of the Golden Eagle 4 fighter jets. As long as we attack here, we can avoid the large group of Chinese Air Force land-based aircraft.
Moreover, although Weir Island covers an area of more than 30 square kilometers, it is mostly mountainous and there is not much flat land. There must be very few air forces stationed here, and the danger is much smaller. As long as we can occupy this place, we will have a piece of land to attack.
The springboard of the ocean, we can do a lot even without Oahu, so this is the next best thing.”
Remus was able to climb to this position for no reason. He has a very vicious vision. The air force on Vail Island is indeed small, with only forty fighter jets. And the place is very small, even if the Oahu Islands' fighter jets fly all the way
Come to support them, the military airport on Vail Island cannot receive them, which puts the Oahu Islands' fighter jets beyond their reach.
Feng Ju was shocked when he received the satellite photos sent back in real time. He didn't expect Remus to be so timid and flinched after just one contact. This is also because the commander of the Oahu Islands was eager for revenge and exposed too much strength at once.
, which made Remus feel scared, but the other party turned towards Vail Island, which surprised Feng Ju.
It has to be said that the opponent's vision is very vicious, and he actually found the direction where his defense is weak. There is very little flat land on Vail Island, and there are not many air forces stationed there. Fortunately, the peaks on the island have been dug out by the defenders with many tunnels and fortifications. There are many tunnels and fortifications there.
The 331st Regiment of the 11th Brigade of the 5th Division of the 3rd Marine Corps stationed there is not only well-equipped, but also has a lot of supplies. In addition, Vail Island has a fresh water filter, and its long-lasting combat capability cannot be underestimated. Therefore, Feng Ju
