2757 Counterattack 3

The United States of America needs all participants to perform their duties! Our mission is to destroy all the enemy troops in front of us, even if we all have to pay the price of our lives for it!” Before the attack, the officer who led the American bomber unit said this to his teammates beside him, and this order was also passed on word of mouth to other squadrons. The attack passage has been opened, and the rest depends on theirs!

The first to enter the battlefield are the bomber troops. Most of the bombers are equipped with 5oo-pound bombs and 1oo-pound small bombs, the latter of which is to suppress air defense firepower. In order to improve the strike effect, some aircraft are equipped with 1oo-pound bombs. In theory, bombs of this weight can only be thrown by horizontal bombing. Of course, if you are not ready to go back, you can also perform dive bombing!

At this time, the newly added carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese fleet had not yet climbed to combat heights, and the old aircraft were entangled by German fighter fleets. Therefore, the attacking American bomber fleet had a window period of about 15 to 20 minutes, so they could swing their hearts! The one who was stared first was naturally the largest aircraft carrier in the Japanese fleet!

"Disassemble the formation and prepare to evade!" Looking at the American bomber that had entered the dive attack channel in the distance, Betty decisively issued an order. The four aircraft carriers began to separate quickly, and the accompanying destroyers also maneuvered with the aircraft carrier. However, what is a little different from the Americans is that when the American aircraft carrier is attacked, as long as the battleships that can be arrived will block the attack on one side of the aircraft carrier. What about the Japanese Navy? The Japanese battleships divided into three teams only intercepted symbolically at the outermost periphery far away from the aircraft carrier, and then avoided them... There was no idea of ​​being a personal guard for the aircraft carrier and blocking the knife!

The reason for this is also very simple. The US Navy's combat principles and tactics refer to the German Navy. The German Navy attaches great importance to aircraft carriers and clearly states in the combat manual that aircraft carriers should be in the safest position to attack. If the opponent's carrier-based aircraft or other attack means pierce the outer defense line, the accompanying fleet has the responsibility to provide cover for aircraft carriers, and this accompanying fleet clearly mentions that including battleships. Although this situation has never been encountered in the war, this principle was also inherited by the US Navy. Therefore, when facing the Japanese 6-based bomber, the battleship troops shared a considerable amount of pressure, which is also the reason why the Constellation can survive.

Although the British Navy is also engaged in aircraft carriers and developing related tactics, the positioning of aircraft carriers is very vague. In the British Royal Navy system, aircraft carriers are called battleships, but they are subordinate to battleship detachments. Therefore, at least in the eyes of most people, the status of aircraft carriers is half a head lower than that of battleships. When the British think so, the Japanese directly inherited it.

The believers of the big ships and giant cannon party in the Japanese fleet were powerful, so when the American bombers came, a small number of people were still hesitating whether to take the blame, while most of them were afraid that the American bombs would fall on them. Afterwards, many officers of the battleship squad also made a statement in the report that the battleship squad would have to face the American battleship in future operations, so now it is too early to lose the entire battle situation to be unfavorable!

However, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu was still preparing to provide some help with his squadron. The fleet approached some of the heavy anti-aircraft guns on the ship to provide some support to the aircraft carrier team. As for the close escort, let alone whether the commander of the joint fleet would do it. Even if he made up his mind to do it, it would not be easy to operate it in detail. After all, the weapon that the warship can really fire aircraft is machine guns, and these guns are all very close in range, which means that the escort battleship and aircraft carrier must be very close. It must not only include the aircraft carrier in the range of its own anti-aircraft artillery, but also leave enough maneuver space for the aircraft carrier. To be honest, this operation is actually quite difficult...

As for the air defense firepower of the aircraft carrier itself, the Japanese were even worse. The deployment of air defense artillery on the aircraft carrier was different from that of the battleships, and needed a special deck. The Americans reserved a deck of anti-aircraft guns when designing the new aircraft carrier. Unfortunately, the Japanese did not stay, so they could only deploy a small number of anti-aircraft guns at any time. So, if the US's air defense artillery can be described as terrifying, then the Japanese's air defense firepower only caused some trouble. Therefore, in the next nearly 20 minutes, the Americans' first strike was very easy!

In the near-in-community situation, after the Flying Dragon aircraft carrier shot down three US dive bombers, more dive bombers stretched out sharp claws at the targets on the sea like predatory falcons! The roar of the aircraft motor and the whistle generated by the fuselage passing through the air echoed over the Flying Dragon, like the wail of the god of death. The first round of 425okg bombs was thrown out, and arcs that indicate danger were drawn in the air. They were dropped from a height ranging from 7oo meters to 9oo meters. On the water, the Flying Dragon aircraft carrier twisted its huge hull like a dragon rushing on the sea. The power of the motive was increased to the limit. The four rudders at the tail were also constantly adjusting. The huge centrifugal force generated by the high turn even made the deck of the warship appear to be significantly tilted.

However, the so-called long-term maintenance will lead to failure. Without the cover of fighter jets, it is impossible for aircraft carriers to keep dodging attacks from the air, neither mechanical performance nor luck!

Boom! Two bombs fell into the sea water next to the Flying Dragon, and the huge explosion sprinkled on the deck of the Flying Dragon. The bombing like a giant thunder strike made everyone frightened. And a moment later, two bombs roared down. This time, the landing point of a bomb was less than 7 meters away from the side string of the Flying Dragon! The explosion of hundreds of kilograms of bombs in the high-explosion bomb was tantamount to a small mine! The energy generated by the explosion was instantly transmitted to the hull through the sea water. With a burst of tooth-inspiring metal breaking and twisting sound, a huge pit was blown into the middle of the Flying Dragon hull!

After dodging several bombs continuously, the Flying Dragon was like an exhausted beast. The large amount of steam stored in the steam pipeline was consumed, and the steam generated by the boiler was not yet supplied. The American attacks would not stop. The bombs fell from the air one after another, smashing the Flying Dragon's deck like heavy hammers!
