Chapter 363 Air Defense Operations

The F4B is a biplane carrier-based fighter that entered the fleet in July and August 1929. It was brought to sea by the VB-1B Squadron and the VF-2B Squadron (later changed to VF-5B) using their own aircraft carriers "Lexington" and "Langley".

Soon, the US Army Air Force (predecessor of the Air Force) also ordered a batch, and the Army model was renamed P-12.

The F4B/P-12 aircraft first served on the front line throughout the 1930s, and then served as a senior trainer. It was not gradually retired from 1940 to 1941. Because the Army Air Force purchased too many P-12s, it was doomed to be oversupply. 23 P-12 models of various models were bought by the Navy in 1941 (renamed F4B-4A) and used as radio-controlled target aircraft.

As a biplane, the F4B's air combat performance will naturally not be much better, and the weapon of this thing is only two 7.62mm machine guns, which may only be considered an introductory fighter of 1.0 in air combat.

However, it was the plane that was at the bottom of this air battle that was exerted its might on the head of the Tianlong.

The altitude of the aircraft fleet was not high. After several F4B fighters left the aircraft fleet, they quickly rode on the face of the Tianlong.

The air defense firepower on the Tianlong also started to operate. Two 6.5mm three-year machine guns located between the chimneys spit out flames and shot bullets at the incoming enemy planes.

That's right, the air defense firepower on the Tianlong is only two 6.5mm machine guns.

The opponent also saw this and leaned over. If the Tianlong had several 20mm cannons on its body, how could these F4Bs dare to come and provoke them?

A F4B directly dived at the platform where the two machine guns were located, and then fired two 7.62mm machine guns.

Two 7.62mm machine guns vs two 6.5mm machine guns... Why do you think the firepower of fighter jets is stronger than that of ships?

The F4B was hit by several 6.5mm bullets, and several cylinders at the nose were leaked, but they could still maintain basic flight.

The machine gunners on the Tianlong side were not so lucky. The platform they were on had no protection and instantly drowned in a 7.62mm bullet.

So, the battle began for more than ten seconds, and the air defense firepower on the Tianlong was suppressed.

However, the sacrifices of these machine gunners were not in vain. They had at least bought time for the girls on the bridge, and many crew members had now retreated to the cabin.

Although the cabin protection of the Tianlong cabin is not very good, it will not be penetrated by a 7.62mm machine gun.

Finally, except for the observer girl who was too high and was sent away when she climbed down from the mast, the girls on the deck and bridge basically retreated into the cabin.

"These bastards!"

Looking at the raging planes around him, Yinyu couldn't help but wave his fist.

She did not withdraw to the cabin. The front and side of the Tianlong main gun were protected by 25mm gun shields, and there was also a bridge behind her. The F4B machine gun had no choice but to do anything to her.

After discovering that all the personnel on the deck of the Tianlong had been evacuated, the remaining F4B also changed its attack target and instead fired a deep-water bomb projector at the stern of the ship.

In a sense, the deep-water bombs carried on light patrols and expulsions are more dangerous than torpedoes. The torpedo at least has a shell to protect the shell of the launcher, and the deep-water bombs are stacked directly on the stern of the ship.

The F4B fighter jets above the Tianlong quickly formed a circle and then launched a carousel attack on the thunderbolt at the stern.

After one aircraft finished its strafing and disengaged, another F4B began to attack, and then another one was used.

However, these girls were neither possessed by Hei Shushu, nor were they fired in the ship. Therefore, until the ammunition was exhausted, they could not detonate any thunder.

"Finally left."

Looking at the F4B fighter leaving the horizon, Yinyu couldn't help but sigh.

Before, she was the only one who drove a fighter plane to suppress others to sweep the money. When did she get this anger?

"The enemy has left, everyone can come out."

After the enemy plane left, Yinyu did not forget to notify his companions who were trembling in the cabin.

"The quality is too poor. I must report them after the game!"

After walking out of the cabin gate, Lolan waved his fists in the direction where the enemy plane left.

"The reporting function is not for this kind of thing, Loran." Arisha paused, and then said helplessly: "The opponent's playing style does not violate the rules, so we can only swallow this tone."

In fact, Arisa considered Yin Yu's feelings and had another sentence not said, that is, if the report was useful, Dashi would have been suspended long ago...

After entering the bridge, Arisa's expression became complicated again.

Compared to when they left, there are many more bullet holes in the bridge now, and there are a few conical bullets scattered on the ground. It is obvious that they were taken care of by few bullets just now.

"Okay, everyone is excited and check the damage in the bridge as soon as possible."

"Are these guys dogs? I've actually swept the bridges of no one several times."

Lolan started to complain while checking the servo.

There were not many bullets falling into the bridge, and many of the equipment were directly turned into Iraq.

"That's great, the tactical panel is fine."

Looking at the holographic projection slowly emerging in front of him, Arisha immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Without the tactical panel, they can't get the dynamics of their teammates. If it's really bad, the loss is really not ordinary.

Just as Arisa inspected various equipment, Shizuku also returned to the captain's position.

Shizuku still had that unchanging expression, and he did not express anything about the experience of the bridge, as if nothing had happened.

"We are already very close to the main force." Arisha paused and continued to preach: "We should be able to see them within 10 minutes, and we should not be so easily attacked by then, right?"

The fighter jets on the aircraft carrier are not one-time. When the team of planes flew back to replenish their ammunition, they will soon launch another wave of attacks.

"It should be true." Yin Yu nodded.

This is not to say that our team's air defense is so powerful, it is just because the hatred of the Tianlong is low. Our team has many thin and large armored cruisers, and Yin Yu doesn't believe that the plane opposite is putting these targets and not running to chase Tianlong.

"But this is not a solution." Ari paused for a moment before continuing: "If we don't solve that aircraft carrier, I feel that our entire team will die at its hands..."

"This is impossible, Arisa." Yinyu shook his head. "Although Langley's speed is not fast and his recognition is quite high, I want to find it without an airplane... I am still looking for a needle in a haystack."
