Before Zhou Yu could issue an order to unify Asia and the Pacific, someone was more anxious than him and quietly extended his claws towards the empire.
Uncle Sam's country, which has been preparing for a long time, has secretly dispatched several major fleets that have been cruising in the Atlantic Ocean, except for the Tenth Fleet and the Home Fleet, to the Pacific region. A total of 3,000 troops have been dispatched from Jinshan and other air force airports along the west coast.
The remaining A2 ship-to-land bombers used leapfrog mode to attack the Xia Province of the Empire.
Its fifth to ninth fleets are arrayed across the Pacific Ocean from its west coast to Hawaii.
On February 14, 1917, at dawn on Valentine's Day in the West, more than 3,000 fighter planes took off from the heavily guarded airports along the coast of their homeland. After a long journey, they passed through the aircraft carrier decks of the five major fleets as springboards, using continuous
Two second-level leapfrog tactics were used to launch an air attack on Zhenzhu Port in the Xia Province of the Empire.
This method was considered by Uncle Sam's senior officials after repeated arguments to be the most appropriate military action plan to attack the Empire's Xia Province Pacific Fleet and Zhenzhuang Naval Base. This method was named "Xia Province Bombing" by the Sam authorities
The military plan is a big plan that the Sam administration has been brewing for a long time.
In order for this plan to be carried out secretly and smoothly, the Sam administration had good intentions. During the successive defeats when the ao territory was attacked by the imperial army, they did not dispatch the six fleets cruising in the coastal waters of the mainland. Moreover, during the several months of war with the empire,
Inside, the Sam Army does not have the conditions to organize a strategic military threat to the empire.
However, in order to reverse the passive situation, the Sam government has long trained a large number of pilots in its country. And it is secretly manufacturing the A2 land-ship dual-purpose aircraft. When the Sam government successfully developed the A2 super aerial long-range bomber,
, the Sam authorities believe that the time is ripe for strategic bombing of the Xia Province of the Empire.
As mentioned before, although the A2 bomber of Uncle Sam's country is modeled after the Imperial Locust bomber, it is different from the Imperial Locust bomber. The biggest difference is that the A2 bomber of Uncle Sam's country is a land-based,
A dual-purpose model for warships. The entire machine is made of molded glue and molded wood structure, with no alloy materials.
In terms of drive, it uses the most powerful engine in China. The speed can reach 500 kilometers per hour, and the flight altitude exceeds 5,000 meters. The endurance is more than 2,000 kilometers. The overall aircraft weight is lighter than the Imperial Locust aircraft, and it can carry more than 500 kilograms of ammunition.
Except for the Chinese Empire, no country in the world today can reach such a perverted level as a2.
On the A2, there are no artillery such as machine guns. There is only an A-type heavy machine gun with a caliber that is not too large, which is installed on the tail. This installation method means that Uncle Sam's country is not based on the A2.
It is an attack aircraft, but a type of fighter aircraft that mainly focuses on bombing and run-up.
The most terrifying thing among them is that the bomb used by Sam's Empire this time is surprisingly similar to the Empire's special incendiary bomb.
Because the Sam administration was too secretive about this operation, even seed organizations like Ledeng did not obtain accurate information and only sent it to the empire. The Sam administration was rampantly producing warships, fighter aircraft related components and other information.
Even Zhou Yu, who has been busy recently, did not let the Shenlong go to investigate the intelligence. The entire empire did not know that Uncle Sam's country was extending its claws to the Xia Province of the empire. None of the high-ranking officials in the empire, including Zhou Yu, thought that
, Sam will use this perverted method to attack the Xia Province, the strongest sea fortress in the empire.
In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, during the air raid of the SAM aircraft group, each bomber bombed alone without forming a formation. The bombing leader in front dropped the bomb first and introduced it into the target area.
As the Sam fighter group continued to approach, the first person to discover the information was the radar station on the east side of the Imperial Wahu Island.
"Squad leader, why are there so many bright spots on the radar screen? Are they meteor showers?" Jiang Ying, an observer at the radar station on the easternmost side of Imperial Wahu Island, said to the observation post squad leader in surprise...
For a long time, the Empire of Xia Province has been in a peaceful atmosphere of singing and dancing. Even if the war between the Empire and the Allied Powers is in full swing, the Empire of Xia Province Islands hanging alone in the North Pacific are safe and sound. This makes the Empire on guard.
The heart is not very strong.
In fact, it's no wonder that everyone is slacking off. After all, the Imperial Xia Province has been managed by the Empire for more than thirty years, and it seems to be invulnerable.
Just like Jiang Ying at this time, when she noticed something appeared on the radar screen, her first impression was not an enemy attack, but jokingly said it was a meteor shower.
When the imperial soldier who was called the squad leader by Jiang Ying heard this, he thought Jiang Ying was joking. He glanced at the screen and laughed and cursed: "What's wrong with you? Can such a joke be made casually?" But then he lost his temper.
Call: "No, the enemy is attacking..."
"Woo--" The long and harsh air raid warning siren sounded for 36 seconds and then paused for 24 seconds, and it kept ringing throughout the entire Xia Province Islands of the Empire.
At the same time, a burst of "ticking, ticking, ticking..." radio waves transmitted the information to various important military units in the empire, including the Imperial General Staff.
After all, Lao Chao is a seasoned "old man" in reconnaissance. He immediately realized from the huge speed of the bright spot group and various data that this was not a so-called meteor shower, but a group of unknown fighter jets from the east.
A huge swarm of fighter jets.
He made the most correct judgment in an instant. A group of enemy planes were attacking Xia Province.
So, after roaring violently, he rushed to the air defense alarm and sounded the air defense alarm at the observation station. Moreover, he anxiously ordered Jiang Ying to immediately send radio waves to various military units to pass on the information.
Since the Sam Army Air Force fleet quietly approached the Imperial Xia Province at dawn, the Imperial reconnaissance aircraft, reconnaissance submarines, and cruise fleets all missed this period of patrol reconnaissance in this sea area. Therefore, the Sam Army Air Force fleet was not attacked.
Discovered immediately.
Shortly after the air defense alarm was sounded, a conventional minesweeper of the Empire discovered a periscope in front of Zhenzhu Port. The Empire then dispatched anti-submarine cruisers and sank as many as four Uncle Sam reconnaissance submarines in the deep sea with depth charges.
When Jiang Ying and the others reported the news of the incoming unknown enemy aircraft to the Imperial Air Defense Command and the Imperial Headquarters, the second wave of Sam bombers took off. In order to prevent the fleet from being bombed, the Imperial Yanbing fleet was loaded with ammunition and supplies and sailed out.
At the same time, carrier-based fighter jets took off from the military port and headed eastward.
The Empire's Xia Province anti-aircraft artillery group urgently adjusted its elevation angle, loaded ammunition and stood ready. The mobile anti-aircraft artillery convoy approached the defense line of the first wave of incoming enemy aircraft and stood ready. The 400 old-fashioned fighter planes stationed by the Empire stationed in Xia Province took off one after another to meet the enemy.
East.
The Imperial High Command of Xia Province issued an air raid warning to all citizens of Xia Province, organized personnel to hide in air raid shelters, and issued a warning to all ships: "Xia Province will be subject to a large-scale air attack."
At this time, the third and fourth waves of the Sam Air Force took off...the eighth wave...
At 6:01, Yan Bing's carrier-based aircraft encountered the first wave of more than 400 bombers from the Sam Army and opened fire. In just 5 minutes of fighting, more than 80 enemy aircraft were shot down, and more than 10 of our own fighter aircraft were lost.
.
Eight minutes later, more than 300 SAM bombers broke through the interception of Yan Bing's carrier-based aircraft fleet, heading directly towards Zhenzhu Port and the main air force airport on the island. More than 400 old-fashioned Imperial fighter planes faced off, and the Imperial air defense firepower network showed its power.
At 6:10, the second wave of more than 300 Sam bombers arrived in the sky above Xia Province and once again engaged in a melee with Yan Bing's carrier-based aircraft group. More than 60 enemy aircraft groups were destroyed, and more than 10 of our own fighters were damaged.
.Seeing such a scene, Yan Bing ordered all the carrier-based aircraft to withdraw from the battle order and urgently sent a telegram to Emperor Zhou Yu for help.
Yan Bing did this after careful consideration. You must know that any military goal can be compromised, but talents cannot be lost. This is what Emperor Zhou Yu said repeatedly, and Yan Bing has always kept it in mind. It is indeed the cultivation of talents.
, it takes countless time to settle, and it is also a strong support for the development of the empire...
Sam's fighter planes are no weaker than the Empire's carrier-based aircraft. In the process of fighting with each other, the Empire's Yanbing unit was able to achieve a battle loss of more than 1 to 5 even though the number of fighters was far weaker than the opponent's. The biggest reason is that
The establishment and training of the Imperial Air Force was much earlier than that of the Sam Air Force.
The technical advantage of fighter pilots is the key to gaining advantage in disadvantages. Even so, Yan Bing is not willing to use the talents of the Imperial Air Force to compete with Sam pilots. The reason why he contacted Imperial Emperor Zhou Yu is because
, he believes that if the empire changes land to Zhou Yu, there will definitely be countermeasures to this unfavorable situation.
He blindly believed that Emperor Zhou Yu would definitely have a way to solve the biggest crisis for the Chinese Empire. This was because he had received intelligence from a reconnaissance aircraft that climbed high above the eastern Xia Province and was responsible for reconnaissance.
The total number of sub-fighter fleets will exceed the terrifying 3,400.
The reconnaissance plane also reported that almost the entire fleet of the Sam Kingdom was dispatched, cruising 230 nautical miles east of Xia Province, and the fleet was coming from the direction of the fleet.
It was precisely based on such intelligence that Yan Bing recalled his fleet of carrier-based aircraft without the approval of the Supreme Command and sent a distress signal to Zhou Yu. Of course, it was impossible for Yan Bing to contact Zhou Yu directly.
, but reported to Zhou Yu through the Shenlong.
After receiving the signal from the Shenlong, Zhou Yu felt that his scalp was numb and his whole body was even colder. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your
