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

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

The F4B/P-12 aircraft first served in the front line throughout the 30s of the 20th century, and then served as an advanced trainer until 1940~1941, when it was gradually decommissioned. Because the Army Air Corps had purchased too many P-12s, it was doomed to a surplus, and 23 P-12s of various models were bought by the Navy in 1941 (renamed F4B-4A) to be used as radio-controlled target aircraft.

As a biplane, the F4B's air combat performance is naturally not much better, and the weapons of this thing are only two 7.62mm machine guns, which may only be regarded as a 1.0 entry fighter in air combat.

However, it was this kind of aircraft that was at the bottom of the air battle that was mighty above the head of the Tenryu.

The altitude at which the group flew was not high, and several F4B fighters quickly rode in the face of the Draco after breaking away from the group.

The anti-aircraft fire on the Tenryu also came into play, and two 6.5mm three-year machine guns between the chimneys spat out tongues of fire, shooting bullets at the incoming enemy planes.

That's right, the anti-aircraft fire on the Tenryu is only two 6.5mm machine guns.

The opposite side also saw this point before leaning over, if the Tianlong had a few 20mm cannons on it, how could these F4Bs dare to come over and provoke.

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

Two 7.62mm machine guns against two 6.5mm machine guns...... How do you think that the firepower of fighters is fiercer than that of ships.

The F4B was hit by several 6.5mm bullets, and the cylinders in the nose were also missing, but it was still able to maintain basic flight.

The machine gunners on the Draco's side were not so lucky, the platform they were on had no protection, and they were instantly drowned in 7.62mm bullets.

As a result, only ten seconds after the battle began, the anti-aircraft fire on the Draco was completely suppressed.

However, the sacrifice of the Heavy was not in vain, they at least bought time for the girls on the bridge, and many of the crew members had now retreated to the cabin.

Although the Denyu's cabin is not very well protected, at least it will not be penetrated by a 7.62mm machine gun.

In the end, with the exception of the Spotter Girl, who was at too high altitude and was sent away as she climbed down the mast, the Girl on the deck and bridge mostly retreated to the cabin.

"These bastards!"

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

She did not withdraw into the cabin, the front and sides of the main gun of the Draco were protected by 25mm gun shields, and there was also a bridge behind her, and the machine gun of the F4B could not do anything with her.

After discovering that all the personnel on the deck of the Tenryu had been evacuated, the remaining F4Bs also changed their target and strafed the depth charge projectors at the stern of the ship.

In a sense, the depth charges carried on the light cruisers and destroyers are more dangerous than torpedoes. The torpedo is at least protected by a launcher shell, and the depth charges are stacked directly on the stern.

The F4B fighters over the Tenryu quickly formed a circle and then launched a merry-go-round attack on the stern thunderstorm.

After one aircraft finished strafing and disengaged, another F4B began to attack, followed by another.

However, these girls did not possess the Black Moon, and the ships they strafed were not like the moon, so they were unable to detonate a single thunderstorm until they ran out of ammunition.

"Finally gone. ”

Looking at the F4B fighter jet leaving in the sky, Otowa couldn't help but sigh.

Before, she was the only one who drove a fighter jet to press others to sweep, when did she suffer this kind of anger?

"The enemy is gone, everyone can come out. ”

After the enemy plane left, Otowa did not forget to inform his companions, who were shivering in the shelter cabin.

"The quality is so poor, I must report them after the game!"

After stepping out of the door of the cabin, Loren also waved his fist in the direction of the enemy plane's departure.

"The whistleblowing function isn't here to do that, Loraine. Arisa paused, and then said helplessly: "The opposite style of play does not violate the rules, and we can only swallow this breath." ”

In fact, Arisha took into account Otowa's feelings, and there was still one sentence that didn't come out, that is, if the report was useful, Oarai would have been banned a long time ago......

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

Compared to when they left, there were a lot of bullet holes in the bridge now, and there were a few conical warheads scattered on the ground, apparently being cared for by less bullets just now.

"Alright, everyone, get your spirits up, and check the damage in the bridge. ”

"Are these guys dogs? Nobody's bridge has been swept several times. ”

Lorraine complained as he checked the servo.

There were not many bullets that fell into the bridge, and a lot of the equipment was directly beaten to Iraqi quality.

"Great, the tactical panel is fine. ”

Looking at the holographic projection slowly emerging in front of her, Arisa breathed a sigh of relief.

Without the tactical panel, they would not be able to access the dynamics of their teammates, and the losses were really not ordinary.

While Arisa checks the various equipment, Shizuku returns to the captain's position.

Shizuku still had the same expression that had not changed for thousands of years, and he didn't say anything about what happened to the bridge, as if nothing had happened.

"We're pretty close to the main force. Arisa paused, then continued, "We should be able to see them in 10 minutes, and then we shouldn't be so easily attacked, right?"

The fighters on the aircraft carrier are not one-time, and when the planes fly back to replenish their ammunition, they will soon be able to strike another wave of attacks.

"That's right. Otowa nodded.

This is not to say that the team's air defense is so powerful, but simply because the hatred of the Draco is low. There were a lot of thin-skinned armored cruisers in this team, and Otowa didn't believe that the planes on the other side would put these targets and run away to chase the dragon.

"But that's not the way to go. Ally paused before continuing, "If we don't get rid of that carrier, I feel like we're all going to die at its hands......"

"It's impossible, Arisha. Otoha shook his head. "Langley, though not fast and recognizable, wanted to find it without a plane...... It's still a needle in a haystack. ”

The best ship to deal with an aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier, and it is too difficult to catch the opposite aircraft carrier without an aircraft carrier.
