The anti-aircraft guns continued to attack the aircraft group marked by the big sun. Similarly, the aircraft group soon came to the sky above AF Island, and row after row of air-to-ground bombs were dropped.
The airport, command post, oil pipelines... were all destroyed by high-explosive bombs and turned into purgatory. The firepower of the anti-aircraft batteries became increasingly sparse, and they only shot down less than ten aircraft.
"Call AF Island, call AF Island, please reply when you receive it, please reply when you receive it..." Next to a blown-up anti-aircraft gun, the radio communication device kept calling.
This anti-aircraft gun was the target of the first wave of bomb attacks, and the machine gunner and bomb changer were all killed directly. The only communication officer struggled, grabbing the dirt on the ground with his broken hands, and came to the communication device that happened to be protected by a bunker.
"Please reply to AF Island, please reply to AF Island..."
The liaison officer on the radio communication side may have been about to give up, but at this time, a twisted and incomplete hand pressed on it.
"This is AF Island. The enemy aircraft fleet has completed the first wave of attacks and is preparing to return. AF Island has been blown up, over..."
"AF Island aircraft fleet has been received, the Allies will win! over."
The correspondent smiled and leaned against the bunker. His lower body had completely disappeared, one of his hands was also missing, and his entire body was as broken as a rag doll.
He used his remaining crippled hand to take out a cigarette from Uchimura, and lit it with difficulty. The smoke slowly rose into the sky. He looked at the sun that had just risen and smiled. This was the most beautiful sun he had ever seen.
.
"The Allies...must win..."
The half-burning cigarette fell on his body and was immediately extinguished by the blood-stained clothes.
…
"The AF Island fleet has received intelligence and will arrive at the enemy's first fleet within an hour. We will use our lives to disrupt the enemy's position so that you can attack at the best time.over."
"This is the Yorktown fleet. I wish you good luck. Also, the Allies will win, over." Levi, who was hundreds of miles away, replied.
The Yorktown fleet was always at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. The heavy dive bombers carrying one ton of armor-piercing high-explosive bombs flew very slowly. Because of this, they were also the final ace.
Why would the Allies implement such a plan that looks like a plan to kill people? In fact, the enemy's intelligence has been completely controlled by the Allies. Even the information about what time the enemy planes will take off and what time they will return for refueling has been disclosed to the Allies.
The army saw it clearly.
The Allies were preparing for the decisive battle at the moment when the Axis planes that bombed AF Island returned and landed, the most embarrassing moment when they could neither attack nor defend.
An hour later, it was exactly 7:30 in the morning.
At this moment, planes taking off from AF Island arrived at the First Fleet of the Axis Powers one after another.
"This is the AF Island fleet. The enemy aircraft carrier fleet has been discovered. We will wait until the moment you arrive, until the last aircraft."
"Allied forces must win!"
The captain of the AF Island torpedo crew threw his cigar out of the window, held the joystick with both hands, and stared at the enemy aircraft carrier.
Because torpedo planes need to drop torpedoes, they always fly at low altitude within a hundred meters. The moment they see the enemy aircraft carrier, the enemy also sees them.
Countless naval guns and a fighter group dedicated to guarding the aircraft carrier attacked the Allied pilots.
They were the first group to attack the enemy aircraft carrier, like a death squad. What awaited them in front was the enemy's most powerful posture. At this time, the Allied forces had a total of more than 30 aircraft one after another, and what greeted them was indeed 50 There are more than one fighter jets dedicated to dealing with air units, as well as hundreds of heavy artillery on aircraft carriers, frigates, and destroyers.
In front is hell and behind is home.
So, if we go here, we will never see you again.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
In an instant, most of the first wave of twelve Allied torpedo planes and fighter jets were lost. The unparalleled firepower network tore them apart in a very short period of time, and giant fireballs ignited in the sky.
"Allied forces must win!"
The torpedo plane accelerated and rushed straight to the aircraft carrier. The aircraft cannon exploded its fuel tank. The torpedo plane, which ignited a raging fire, finally dropped a fish into the water. Then the entire plane slapped on the sea surface and exploded. Fireball soaring into the sky.
This first wave of aircraft on AF Island was quickly torn to pieces by naval guns and enemy fighter jets.
However, the subsequent aircraft flying from AF Island continued as if launching a suicidal attack, one after another, desperately delaying the rhythm of the enemy aircraft carrier's carrier-based aircraft, which lasted for more than an hour.
Until, the last Allied fighter jet hit the tail fin under the siege of the enemy. The pilot immediately turned around and the flaming aircraft headed straight for the Kaga aircraft carrier.
The pilot turned on the radio and sent a final message.
"All the AF Island Air Force has been sacrificed. We have fulfilled our commitment and dragged it down until there is only the last aircraft left, Lieutenant Meade, and finally report here.over."
"Boom!" In the end, the fighter jet completely turned into a fireball in the air, but the wreckage still hit the Kaga.
However, the plane, which lost its pilot, still deviated from its path and did not hit the aircraft carrier.
"The next step is our turn. A total of 32 torpedo planes from the Hornet aircraft carrier have discovered the enemy fleet. We will launch a direct attack until the entire army is annihilated.over."
In the sky, 32 torpedo planes began to appear. This time, without any fighter escort, these torpedo planes were as bulky as wild boars and launched a death charge.
Speaking of the enemy side of the Axis Powers, they did not discover the Allied aircraft carriers at all in advance, and in terms of intelligence, they completely lost to the Allied forces who seemed to have the entire map open.
After all, their main plan was to occupy AF Island, so they sent half of their aircraft, a total of nearly 108, to bomb AF Island from the very beginning.
At this time, it happens to be the time when the planes that bombed AF Island are returning. At this time, the less than 100 planes left have completely run out of ammunition and food, and the fuel in the fuel tank can only last for less than 45 minutes. .And to recover these nearly one hundred aircraft, it would take 40 minutes of non-stop occupying the decks of all aircraft carriers.
However, due to the constant attacks by the Allies at this time, the Axis aircraft carriers needed to constantly take off and recover fighter jets to resist the Allied attacks.
Similarly, even more bad news reached the hands of the Axis powers. Their reconnaissance plane discovered the Allied Yorktown.
At this moment, the commander-in-chief of the Axis Powers made his death choice. He chose to abandon the more than one hundred planes returning from the AF bombing and watch them crash into the sea near the sea with almost 100% mortality rate, so that he could take off immediately. fighter aircraft to attack or intercept the Yorktown group.
It is better to recover these nearly a hundred precious aircraft first, hold on for more than half an hour, and then take off the carrier-based aircraft. When betting on the fate of the country, you usually bet that the enemy's main bombers will not arrive within more than half an hour.
On the one hand, there is a 100% loss of nearly a hundred aircraft, and on the other hand, it is a gamble on the fate of the country. Just bet on the 50-50 probability that the Allied bombers will not arrive within half an hour.
