"It's supposed to be a dive attack." General Gao Mingjiu's hands never left the telescope at all, oh my God, with a one-ton torpedo to do a dive action, this test pilot is a little crazy, right?! When Li Guoyong introduced that he could carry four standard aerial bombs for dive attacks, he was still a little unimpressed, as long as he could bring three aerial bombs to make a dive action, he could use it to replace the existing carrier-based dive bombers.

In the early days, due to the limitation of aircraft engine power, the dive bomber was too fast and easy to lose control when performing dive bombing, and it was difficult to resume liftoff. And there is no necessary armor protection when penetrating the defense, as long as the enemy has anti-aircraft weapons and is prepared, dive combat is equivalent to the suicide of the pilot.

Many aviation technical officers believed that a dive bomber could not be aimed without diving below a thousand meters.

But below a thousand meters, dive bombers without any protection can easily be shot down by anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft machine guns, like sparrows hitting a room, let alone enemy fighters.

So in the early days, both the reports of the Army and the Navy repudiated this bombing method.

But even so, no pilot or technical officer can deny the fact that dive bombing is even more accurate than long-range heavy artillery.

At this time, Li Jingchang adjusted his course slightly, and after completing a beautiful left lateral turn in the air, he began to pounce towards the eye-catching white circle bomb drop point on the ground at an altitude of three thousand meters.

As the plane began to dive down, Li Jingchang, who was piloting the plane, then adjusted the angle of his dive, and the angle began to approach the red critical point, Li Jingchang, who put his eyes on the sight, opened the speed brake while diving, and the very peculiar flaps under the wing were immediately opened, so as to slow down the impact of the fuselage due to weight acceleration, avoid the fighter stalling, and also improve the bombing accuracy.

Unlike the Army Air Force dive bombers, which were equipped with air whistles that emitted a piercing screech, the demonstrator flew down from the sky like a meteorite, silently making a sound, gradually revealing a small black dot to a shining silver fuselage, and rushing towards the ground at an almost vertical angle.

At a bomb drop altitude of about 500 meters from the bomb drop site, as the red warning light turned on, Li Jingchang had already aimed at the white target circle on the ground with a diameter of about 15 meters, and then quickly pulled the bomb drop lever. Almost instantly, as the fuselage lightened, Li Jingchang pulled up the nose of the plane suddenly, and after drawing a beautiful arc, the plane began to climb upwards at high speed.

"Good!" Looking at the dust kicked up by the "torpedo" dropped from the height of the hill at the shooting range below the hillside, everyone present couldn't help but cry out.

A perfect test flight performance......

……

"What? The top of the Navy approved the order for only a hundred aircraft ?! ”

Chang Yuebin, who had returned to the Guam base to report on his work, immediately felt great indignation when he heard Lieutenant General Chen Shiying talk about Shen Fei's new carrier-based bomber, but Ling Wencha, who was sitting next to Chang Yuebin, did not say a word.

The infighting between the top brass of the Imperial Navy has not yet been his turn to comment.

Chen Shiying looked out the window and muttered in his mouth: "The results of the last battle made those stubborn old guys even more superstitious about those capital ships, and they clung to the creed of the decisive battle of the team. They simply did not realize that in the future the sea was no longer the world of battleships! ”

This reflects the deep-rooted conservative thinking that the Tang Empire's navy has inherited for hundreds of years.

As the absolute hegemon of the world's oceans, the Imperial Navy is tasked with safeguarding the Empire's maritime interests and the security of its overseas territories for the vast majority. In order to ensure the maritime interests of the empire, more than a hundred years ago, the imperial navy issued the "two powers principle", that is, the strength of the imperial navy should be maintained above the total strength of the navies of all countries combined, that is, the total size of the navy of the Tang Empire should be equivalent to that of other countries combined.

In order to maintain this "two-power principle", the Imperial Navy has always maintained a large number of sizes, and during the last "counterinsurgency war", the Imperial Navy had hundreds of capital battleships, and finally became the main force of the Tang Empire that could force the three European powers to be forced to submit.

The results of the last war also made the Imperial Navy more superstitious from top to bottom about the existence of battleships and battlecruisers, two giants of the sea, and ignored the new round of naval warfare revolution that had begun.

Although on the surface, the Imperial Navy has also started to build eight aircraft carriers of various types, but in the process of use, Chen Shiying has already discovered that there are serious defects in the two-level combat aircraft carriers built by the Tang Empire.

These flaws are quite fatal from a strategic point of view!

Adhering to the Imperial Navy's tradition of heavy protection, with the intervention of the high-level, the aircraft carrier designers turned the aircraft carrier into a fortress, continuing the design style of the battleship.

The problem is that the heavy armor protection and the fully enclosed single-story hangar allow the four "Peninsular-class" and four improved aircraft carriers to carry only 42 carrier-based aircraft with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, and the insufficient number of carrier-based aircraft is seriously restricting the combat capability of this class of aircraft carriers.

However, the navies of the three major European powers have adopted the design scheme of light protection and semi-open double-layer hangars, and in the same situation, the new aircraft carriers they have built can carry 86 carrier-based aircraft of various types, and their combat capability is far stronger than that of the new aircraft carriers of the imperial navy.

However, the top brass of the Imperial Navy stubbornly wished to believe that the opponent's aircraft carrier protection was weak and vulnerable.

The problem is that you have to make the battleship's main guns able to reach each other?!

This issue has always been avoided by the top management.

As the saying goes, practice makes sense, and Vice Admiral Chen Shiying put the plan to change the perception of the top echelons of the empire on two converted aircraft carriers.

"Yue Bin, Wen Cha, the main task of the two of you now is to keep an eye on the construction of those two modified aircraft carriers, after the service, Lao Tzu is ready to challenge the Eastern Fleet and the Southern Fleet, let them see, who is reasonable!" Chen Shiying was also angry in his heart, so he simply spoke and burst out foul language.

In fact, everyone doesn't have much sense of crisis, after all, the size of the Tang Empire is here, if any country dares to challenge the empire, even if it can gain the upper hand in the early stage of the war, in the end the empire can still crush the opponent with its strong strength, so as to achieve the final victory of the war.

In this world, one is the Tang Empire, and the other is other countries, that is, other countries are tied together, and they only have the ability to compete with this behemoth.

Moreover, except for a few European countries, the rest of the countries are basically the "little brothers" of the Tang Empire......
