After the Japanese aircraft group broke through the defensive circle of the Anjiajun escort group, they launched a surprise attack on the aircraft carrier group at the center of the fleet from all directions.
Worried about being accidentally injured, Anjiajun's escort fighter jets did not follow and pursue them. Instead, they fired fiercely at the Japanese land-based and carrier-based fighters that followed. For a time, the sky became extremely chaotic. The Japanese fighter planes carried bombs and bombs.
The torpedoes worked hard to break through the defensive circle formed by the anti-aircraft firepower of destroyers and light and heavy cruisers on the outer edge of the fleet, and rushed towards the aircraft carrier group in the center.
When the Japanese fighter planes flew through the anti-aircraft firepower network composed of 127 mm anti-aircraft guns, 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns and 20 mm Oerlikon machine guns, the heavy cruisers and light cruisers on the second and third levels, as well as the
The four-mounted "Houyi" IIB anti-aircraft missile launchers on the four-story guided missile destroyer sprayed out fire dragons at the same time. The anti-aircraft missiles that were ready to go were like arrows flying from the string, pounced on under the guidance of the radar.
respective goals.
The naval officers and soldiers of Anjiajun who were operating all this on the battleship saw an unforgettable scene:
The missiles, which pulled out long columns of smoke and sprayed flames at their tails, approached the Japanese fighter planes over the fleet at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people. Although the Japanese fighter planes tried their best to avoid them, the anti-aircraft missiles exploded on their own after approaching the Japanese planes. The built-in
Rod-shaped and spherical pre-set fragments shot out everywhere, hitting the fragile and light fuselage of the Japanese fighter planes, and easily riddled the fighter planes, bombers and torpedo planes with holes.
Most of the Japanese fighter planes were unable to survive heavy hits and disintegrated and exploded in the air, while a few fell into the sea dragging thick smoke.
You must know that each "Liberation" class destroyer has two quadruple "Houyi" IIB anti-aircraft missile launchers, which can launch eight anti-aircraft missiles at a time, plus six "Xuanyuan" class heavy cruisers and seven
Each "Legend" class light cruiser is equipped with a missile launch tower, and one hundred and forty-eight missiles will attack in one salvo of anti-aircraft missiles.
With a 70% hit rate of the "Houyi" II air defense missile, more than 90 Japanese fighter planes approaching the aircraft carrier were successfully eliminated in one go.
It is a pity that the number of Japanese fighter planes is too many. Although the follow-up attack formation taking off from the Japanese Navy's First Air Fleet aircraft carrier has yet to be seen, the Japanese army flying from New Caledonia and the east coast airport of Australia
The fighter jets were like crucian carps crossing the river, quickly filling up the space they had just cleared.
While the ship was loading missiles, the light and heavy cruisers and destroyers surrounding the aircraft carrier, as well as the hundreds of anti-aircraft guns and machine guns armed by the aircraft carrier itself, fired into the air together, and the violent metal barrage killed all the targets it aimed at.
.Due to the application of VT information tubes, these shells automatically exploded when approaching Japanese fighter planes. Although the hit rate was not as good as that of missiles, it was still quite amazing.
Most of the Japanese fighter planes were shot down by intensive firepower, but relying on their large numbers, a small number of Japanese fighter planes still managed to break into the heart of the fleet. The 99th Ship Explosion began to dive bomb, while the 97th Ship Attack lowered its altitude.
, throwing torpedoes into the sea.
Many of the 97 ships were hit by anti-aircraft fire and exploded in the air the moment before they were thrown. Others, although they were successfully thrown, were strangled by the fire net when they escaped.
The "Legend" and "Kunlun" class aircraft carriers are equipped with fifty 30mm rotary cannons on the sides specially designed to prevent torpedo attacks. Under the control of the built-in computer system of the ship, they fire intensively at the torpedoes coming at high speed.
Shooting, none of these torpedoes, which were full of hope of the Japanese pilots, were hit, and all were destroyed.
The pilots of the Japanese Army's 99th Ship Explosion were flying their planes, performing rolls, side turns, dives and other movements neatly and neatly, without any sloppiness, and deftly dodged the hail of bullets. Amidst the shrill roar, about twenty or thirty people
The Jiujiu ships launched a swarm attack, trying to fight to the death.
It is a pity that the navy officers and soldiers of Anjiajun did not give them this opportunity. As the second round of launch of "Houyi" IIB anti-aircraft missiles began, the missiles with a speed of Mach 2 rushed towards their respective targets again, and the Japanese fighter planes howled in despair.
In the middle, it turned into a ball of fire. The aircraft debris scattered in all directions, making the deck of the aircraft carrier clang.
...
Long before the Anjiajun fleet was baptized by the Japanese aircraft fleet, the Japanese First Air Fleet was severely attacked by the Anjiajun attack fleet.
At 6:55 in the morning, the surface troops on the Japanese fleet aircraft carrier were clearing the deck and preparing to receive the third wave of fighter jets rising from the helicopter. At this time, the Japanese lookout discovered the black pressure in the sky.
fleet of aircraft quickly sounded the air defense siren.
The commander of the First Air Fleet, Admiral Yamaguchi Tamon, on the one hand sent escort fighter jets to meet the challenge, and on the other hand, he transformed the fleet into an anti-aircraft formation, with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns standing ready to fire.
The Anjia Army naval carrier-based aircraft strike group that bypassed the first wave of air combat engagement areas from the east was still led by the "Thunder" carrier-based fighter jets.
The eighteen "Zero" and twenty-four "Gale" fighter jets that the Japanese army took the initiative to fight lost most of them in the first round of "Shan Yue" S-I infrared air-to-air missile attacks, and the remaining fighter jets were soon reduced to "Thunderbolt"
The prey is scattered in all directions.
"Dong dong——"
The "Akiyue" class anti-aircraft destroyers on the periphery of the Japanese fleet continued to fire into the air. The anti-aircraft artillery shells exploded black smoke clouds in the air, and the sharp shell fragments formed dense barrages inside and outside the clouds.
Among this batch of incoming "Thunder" carrier-based fighter jets, except for the six escort squadrons that carried two air-to-air missiles, the rest either had one 1,000-kilogram-class aerial bomb mounted externally, or six 127mm missiles mounted on the wings.
Rockets can be used as attack aircraft.
Amidst the shrill roar, a "Thunder" fighter jet rushed towards the Japanese destroyer, rolling back and forth to avoid Japanese anti-aircraft fire.
The shells fired from the Japanese warships passed by both sides of the "Thunderbolt" with ear-piercing screams. The four 30mm rotating cannons equipped with the "Thunderbolt" spit out streaks of fire whips, and dense rain of bullets hit the ship.
Scarlet blood splashed everywhere on his body, and the Japanese naval air defense soldiers who were organizing anti-aircraft fire fell in a pool of blood.
The previous "Thunder" fighter plane had just passed over the Japanese destroyer, and another "Thunder" fighter plane passed over the same destroyer. A dense row of 30mm aerial cannon shells hit the Japanese sailors with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and the Japanese sailors were in a mess.
At that time, "Thunder and Lightning" shook his butt, one 10
The 00-kilogram-class aerial bomb fell from the belly of the aircraft and hit the bridge accurately. With a loud "boom", the Japanese destroyer burst into flames and gradually slowed down. Then two consecutive 1,000-kilogram-class aerial bombs directly hit the ship.
A fully loaded warship with a displacement of 3,700 tons sank into the sea.
An "Agano" class light cruiser was spitting out tongues of fire, and two "Thunderbolts" passed over the battleship like two bolts of lightning. The Japanese air defense troops on the ship tried their best to shoot into the air. However, due to the "Thunderbolts",
The speed was so fast that several clear bullet marks streaked around the fighter plane. The Japanese attack was in vain.
The wings of the two "Thunder"s shook slightly, and a 1,000-kilogram aerial bomb each fell. The Japanese warship ignited a raging fire and began to spin in place.
At this time, a T1 torpedo bomber that smelled a fighter jet passed by from low altitude, and when it was less than 500 meters away from the chaotic Japanese light cruiser, it dropped a torpedo with a loud "boom". The Japanese Navy's "Agano"
"" class light cruiser was hit by a torpedo amidships, the cabin was flooded, and it began to sink slowly.
And those "Thunderbolts" with external rockets also showed extraordinary attack power. No, after the two "Thunderbolts" rose to an altitude of two thousand meters, they suddenly dived towards a "Thunderbolt" outside the Japanese army.
The destroyer "Bamboo" rushed over, and during the rapid descent, the two "Thunderbolts" fired twelve rockets in one go.
One after another, the fire dragons rushed to shoot at the Japanese warships. Some of the shots missed and became near-misses, causing water columns to rise into the sky. However, most of them hit the target and exploded into fireballs on the ship's hull.
The power of the 127mm rockets cannot be underestimated. Eight rockets hit the ship in a row. The 1,250-ton destroyer sank into the sea amidst continuous explosions.
The Anjia army's attack fleet adopted a piecemeal and piecemeal tactics, giving priority to the escort ships on the periphery of the Japanese First Air Fleet, gradually weakening its anti-aircraft firepower, and destroyers and light and heavy cruisers were continuously hit and sunk one by one.
The various escort ships of the Japanese army tried their best to shoot in the air. Since the Japanese had obtained the American VT communication technology at this time, the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower put a certain amount of pressure on the Anjiajun naval fighters. Two "Thunderbolts" and four S1s in a row.
-B dive bombers and six T1 torpedo bombers were hit, and the heroes stained the blue sky with blood.
At 7:20, the F2-B "Golden Eyed Eagle" carrier-based fighter equipped with "Falcon II" anti-ship missiles, escorted by "Haitongqing" fighter jets, finally arrived ten kilometers east of the Japanese fleet.
.As the "Golden Eagle" pilot pressed the missile launch button, ninety "Falcon" II anti-ship missiles detached from the fuselage, pulled out a long smoke column, and flew away.
In order to avoid accidental damage, one hundred and fifty "Thunder" carrier-based fighters took the initiative to break away from the battle at this time and climbed to high altitude at the highest speed. The remaining S1-B dive bombers and T1 torpedo bombers that were looking for opportunities around the Japanese fleet also hurriedly evacuated.
, and soon hid high in the sky.
Facing the evacuation of the Anjia military aircraft group, the Japanese sailors were slightly stunned before shouting cheers of victory. Although the Anjia military aircraft group did not really evacuate, they were still staring at the sky around the fleet, but for the Japanese sailors who had just been tortured to death
, but it has extraordinary significance - they believe that it is through their own efforts that the opponent has finally lost the courage to attack, and they feel a sense of satisfaction.
In the blink of an eye, anti-ship missiles trailing flame tails appeared in the sight of the Anjiajun pilots at high altitude. Ninety flames pushed the thick cigar-shaped object, flying 20 meters above the sea level at a speed of Mach 0.9.
Flying at a distance of 300 meters, it was so secretive that when the first anti-ship missile hit a Japanese destroyer on the periphery and successfully sank it, the Japanese turned their attention from the sky back to the sea.
Due to the rampage of the Anjiajun attack fleet, the Japanese army focused its attention on the sky. Most of the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were now raising their heads to the sky, and the anti-ship missiles were flying too fast. Even at this time, even if
It was the Japanese who found out and had no time to organize firepower to intercept.
In less than two minutes, ninety missiles bombarded the Japanese fleet's ships at a rate of one every two seconds.
This short period of time seemed to the Japanese First Air Fleet to be in a boiling oil pot, full of suffering and pain. The sudden anti-ship missiles caused a violent blow to the surface ships of the Japanese fleet.
The power of high explosives raged inside the Japanese warships, frantically tearing and destroying everything that blocked the release of its energy.
The remaining fuel at the rear of the missile, combined with the high temperature generated by the explosion, caused the flames to burn violently and spatter in all directions. For a time, the entire Japanese fleet became a blazing fire island on the water.
"Baga! How did the Chinese shoot missiles to us? Was it through a warship? Or was it dropped from an airplane?"
Standing on the command platform of the flagship "Shinano" aircraft carrier, Colonel Yamaguchi looked through the porthole at everything that was happening outside. His mind was in confusion for a year, and he couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality! The entire fleet had new news at any time.
The explosion, continuous explosions and thick smoke allowed Yamaguchi Tawen and other Japanese naval generals to finally understand why the Anjia Army's fighter jets had stopped attacking and raised their altitude.
The Japanese fleet, which was originally in a tight air defense formation, suddenly became chaotic. Among the eight destroyers on the periphery, more than a dozen were probably hit in the ammunition depot or boiler room. Explosions were heard one after another. Look at the intensity of the explosions.
All that awaits them is disintegration.
Half of the twelve aircraft carriers were hit, but only two lost power and were floating on the sea unable to move. The four heavy cruisers were all attacked by anti-ship missiles. Although the power systems of two were not damaged, their air defense systems were damaged.
The artillery fire suffered heavy losses. Although the other two ships are still able to
Driving on the sea, but the speed has dropped by half compared to just now. Among the six light cruisers, one was unlucky and had its side pierced. As the water poured in, it began to sink unwillingly, while the others were still risking their lives.
There was thick smoke, and the situation didn't look good.
Seeing the Japanese fleet lose its formation, the Anjiajun attack fleet, headed by "Thunder" carrier-based fighter jets, ferociously swooped down from high altitude and pounced on the Japanese fleet, which was licking its wounds.
Since most of the Japanese ships were hit by anti-ship missiles, some ships have sunk directly, and the ships that have not sunk are also burning smoke and fire. The sailors are busy rescuing the wounded and managing damage, while those on the surface of the ship are
Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns not only lack shooters and ammunition, but many of their firepower points have been lost in the missile attack just now.
More importantly, the Japanese fleet has been unable to form an effective air defense fire network. The battle formation of the entire fleet has been disrupted. Each ship has slowed down or even lost power in order to avoid it. The fleet cannot coordinate. Now they only
It can fight alone with the hull's own anti-aircraft firepower.
There was not much suspense in the ensuing battle. Without the air defense protection that the fleet relied on for its survival, the First Air Fleet of the Japanese Navy was like a fish on the chopping board, letting the Anjiajun Air Force fighter planes have their way.
By 10 a.m., as the attacking Japanese land-based and carrier-based aviation forces were defeated by the main task force of the Anjia Army Pacific Fleet, the Anjia Army Navy's third wave and fourth wave of carrier-based aircraft strike groups taking off from the aircraft carrier arrived successively.
In the sky above the Japanese fleet, under continuous attacks, the Japanese light and heavy cruisers and destroyers were sunk one by one, and the twelve aircraft carriers were ravaged by heavy aerial bombs and torpedoes, and sank to the bottom of the sea one after another.
Originally, the Japanese commander, Yamaguchi Yamaguchi, had the opportunity to escape in a lifeboat, but he insisted on coexisting with the flagship "Shinano" and sank into the Coral Sea together with the entire fleet headquarters generals.
