Taking advantage of the opponent's chaotic formation, the Chinese Navy's submarine group, which had been lurking nearby for a long time, seized the opportunity and surfaced to the periscope depth one after another to launch torpedoes. In order to ensure sinking, most of them chose merchant ships and supply ships with thin skin and poor anti-sinkability.
At this time, the Boston fleet was in chaos, and there was no anti-submarine formation. Moreover, the destroyers were concentrated to the east, and it would take time to rescue them. This loophole, which should not have appeared, allowed the Chinese Navy submarines to profit greatly, and even
Those old-fashioned Sea Wolf 2 submarines also came to join in the fun.
The successive explosions made the sailors think it was another missile attack, but when they saw jets of water rising from under the waterline of the warship, they finally understood that the attack came from underwater. The Bostonians who saw the opponent's submarine dispatched
Immediately withdrawing the destroyer, they rushed towards the submarine at top speed, but as a result, a loophole appeared in the tin foil defense line, and missiles passed through the gap and rushed towards the defenseless large warships.
Attacks from the air and underwater were carried out at the same time, leaving Bostonians distracted, and warships were sunk one after another. The Thunderbolt 2 anti-ship missiles with heavy warheads and powerful explosions were not picky at all. They not only attacked
Aircraft carriers and cruisers also attack those huge battleships.
This three-dimensional attack caused heavy losses to the Bostonians. Seven aircraft carriers alone were sunk again, three of which were injured before. In addition, they also lost four battleships, 21 cruisers and 55 destroyers. These
Most of the military exploits were achieved by missiles.
In order to ensure that they were sunk, the submarines attacked mostly merchant ships and supply ships this time. Due to the submarines' focus on taking care of them, most of the merchant ships and supply ships that came with the team sank this time, causing tens of thousands of army soldiers to fall into the sea. This made Rem
Si was furious.
At this time, a reconnaissance plane happened to land and reported the position of the opponent's fleet. He immediately ordered all carrier-based aircraft to take off to attack the opponent's fleet. Even the planes at the land airport also took off to join the battle. Except for these planes, no one who was seriously injured could get up.
The undamaged aircraft on the aircraft carrier that landed the aircraft also began to be transported to the shore in preparation for the second wave of attacks.
Those reconnaissance aircraft bypassed the monitoring range of the early warning aircraft and entered at ultra-low altitude, so they were not discovered until the aircraft arrived near the fleet. Even so, only one of the more than ten reconnaissance aircraft escaped, but this one
It is enough that the plane survived and was able to send back information.
After careful consideration, Remus has concluded that the target that was bombed in the last air raid on Pearl Harbor was definitely a false target. No wonder the opponent blocked the area around the military port a few days before the air attack, and it happened that the opponent's radar was broken at that time.
This was simply arranged in advance, and its purpose was to lure the Boston Navy to boldly break away from the protection of shore-based carrier aircraft and enter this trap.
Now that he has figured out the cause and effect, Remus decided to use his own carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack on the Chinese Empire's Eastern Ocean Fleet, using his own aircraft's numerical advantage to destroy the opponent at sea. Since the reconnaissance plane only glanced at it,
There was no way to determine the number of the other party. He only knew that there were a lot of them, so Remus judged that the entire Eastern Ocean Fleet had arrived.
Although Remus's judgment was very accurate, according to the Boston Empire's intelligence, the Chinese Empire's Eastern Ocean Fleet only has twelve aircraft carriers, and its fighter jets are absolutely incomparable to its own forty-five aircraft carriers. Of course, after suffering the first round
After the attack, the number was no longer so large. Even so, the number of aircraft carrier-based aircraft plus the number of aircraft at the land airport definitely exceeded the opponent's number several times. Taking advantage of these favorable conditions, Remus decided to air attack the opponent.
If it is inevitable that the Boston Empire's ocean-going fleet will be crippled, then dragging the opponent's fleet to be destroyed together is also a good option. At least it will prevent the Boston Empire from suffering a loss in the comparison of strength between the two sides in the Eastern Ocean. Therefore, Rem
Si immediately gave the order for carrier-based aircraft to take off, and the first wave of more than a thousand aircraft took off from the aircraft carrier and land airports one after another, flying towards the Eastern Ocean Fleet at ultra-low altitude.
After the enemy reconnaissance plane escaped, Feng Ju knew that the opponent's air attack would arrive soon, but most of the carrier-based aircraft had been sent out. Even if they returned, they would need to add fuel and ammunition. This all took time, so in a short time
Inside, he could only rely on warships for air defense. After taking off eight early warning aircraft for warning, all warships set up an air defense formation around their own aircraft carrier and were ready.
The Chinese carrier-based aircraft units, which were fast and set off early, began to land one after another. The takeoff and landing aircraft were busy sending the aircraft below the deck, where they would refuel and hang bombs. The inspection personnel had been following the aircraft. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they would
The detector was attached to the aircraft instruments and nervously tested the operation of the aircraft's electronic equipment. Some maintenance personnel began to check the bullet holes on the surface of the aircraft body to evaluate whether the aircraft could continue to fight. The aircraft carrier of the Eastern Ocean Fleet was busy.
Other aircraft that had completed their missions also returned to the aircraft carrier and began to land one after another. At this time, the early warning aircraft signaled that the enemy aircraft was approaching, and the entire fleet immediately became busy. There were only more than fifty aircraft escorting the aircraft in the air now. After receiving the early warning,
After that, these aircraft immediately turned on full power and headed towards the enemy aircraft group. This was to distance themselves from the warship's defense circle to avoid accidental damage by anti-aircraft fire.
All the fighter jets on standby on the aircraft carrier deck began to slide towards the take-off point. With the help of steam catapults, they quickly flew into the sky.
Because the Nanming-class aircraft carriers of the Chinese Empire are different from other aircraft carriers, when aircraft take off on the front deck, those aircraft that have just returned from attacking the Boston Ocean Fleet and are already short of fuel can still rely on the arresting cables of the angled flight deck to land.
, the aircraft carrier that takes off and lands at the same time is very orderly, and there is no chaos like that of a direct-to-deck aircraft carrier.
The Boston fleet flying in formation also quickly discovered these interceptors. More than two hundred pirate fighter jets rushed towards these escort aircraft in a dense formation, making it impossible for them to escape for a while. Seeing that the opponent had already noticed, the Boston fleet immediately
Raise the flight altitude and rush towards the fleet.
The Boston Navy's aircraft were gradually approaching. At this time, the Nanming-class aircraft carriers no longer took off aircraft, because they would easily be accidentally damaged by anti-aircraft fire. At this time, warships with anti-aircraft missiles began to use fire control radars to lock the Boston carriers.
The aircraft launched missiles into the air one after another.
The anti-aircraft missiles on the Chinese Empire's warships are all launched by rocker arms, and the fastest speed is only one per second, so the attack density is not high. However, against slow propeller aircraft, the hit rate is still very high. Risk
After the Bostonians were shot down more than 400 carrier-based aircraft by long-range missile strikes, the remaining carrier-based aircraft finally approached the fleet, but what greeted them was more intense artillery fire.
The air defense formation of the Chinese Navy's Eastern Ocean Fleet is quite unique. The entire formation is organized by battleships. Except for the four unmodified 'Zhili' class cruisers in the inner circle, which together with the aircraft carrier group form the inner circle air defense firepower network,
All destroyers are evenly distributed among the four 'Shannan' class and eight 'Zhonghua' class battleships that have been refitted and returned to service.
The 'Shannan'-class battleships and the 'Zhonghua'-class battleships have had their No. 2 and No. 3 main gun turrets removed. In addition to installing four single-arm anti-aircraft missile launchers, the free space is also equipped with a varying number of 730
Type super high velocity cannon.
This rapid-fire gun is an improved version of the Type 620 hypervelocity gun equipped on the Meishan-class cruiser. It changes the 20mm six-barreled rapid-fire cannon of the Type 620 hypervelocity gun into a 30mm seven-barreled rapid-fire cannon. In addition, it also
By connecting all hypervelocity guns and shipboard fire control radars, this improvement has greatly improved the accuracy and power of the Type 730 hypervelocity guns. With these super-powerful anti-aircraft battleships here, they can deal with those Boston propellers.
The flight is naturally very relaxing.
Four 'Shannan'-class battleships guarded the four directions in the inner circle, and eight 'Zhonghua'-class battleships occupied eight positions in the outer circle. They and their respective destroyer groups formed a flawless anti-aircraft fire circle.
Originally there should have been an outermost ring of anti-aircraft firepower composed of 'Meishan' class cruisers, but this time because those cruisers were required to go forward for missile attack missions and could not come back, but even so,
A simplified version of the air defense net still caused a lot of damage to the Bostonians.
The anti-aircraft firepower of the Eastern Ocean Fleet is so dense that even the modified Hunhe-class destroyers have as many as eight 620 super-high-velocity guns. Such an anti-aircraft firepower configuration is simply a tomb for enemy aircraft.
At this time, the entire sky was filled with black smoke from exploding anti-aircraft shells and hot bullet streams. Under the intensive firepower, four hundred aircraft suffered a devastating blow before they could even rush to the aircraft carrier. The Eastern Ocean Fleet
The losses were very small. Only a dozen destroyers were hit, sunk or seriously damaged, and only one battleship was slightly damaged.
The fate of the more than two hundred Corsair fighter jets that intercepted and escorted the aircraft was equally tragic. Under the threat of the ultra-high-speed Sailfish 2C attack aircraft and Thunderbolt 3 short-range air-to-air missiles, they were unable to fight back. The escorting flag
The Yu-2C fighter jets were all equipped with air-to-air missiles. They were very skilled in air combat and quickly wiped out all the pirate fighter jets.
After the first wave of attacks was completely destroyed, the battle did not end. Since the entire Boston side of the battlefield was under the all-round interference of thirty-six electronic warfare aircraft, Remus did not know the situation ahead. Soon Boston
People were rescued from the seriously injured aircraft carrier, and nearly two thousand aircraft took off for combat again, forming a larger attack fleet and flying towards the Eastern Ocean Fleet. This allowed all the aircraft to take off quickly, thanks to the supplies.
There are enough ships, and some aircraft carriers with only the rear deck bombed can barely allow aircraft to use the front deck to take off, and just land without thinking about it.
