From a distance, the dive bombers that dive down from a high altitude and are hit by the anti-aircraft guns of the killed fighter or battleship are like meteors falling from the sky.

If there really are gods living in the sky, it may be the heavenly fire that has been sent down by the Narrow-minded Navy!

For Jiang Haiyang, who was sitting in the dive bomber, the feeling after entering the dive was not so comfortable.

Because they had to bypass the fast battleship and flank the carriers that were still rushing for the road, the first and second squads were delayed for a few minutes, and the third squad took the lead.

Together with the deputy squadron leader, the third squad also had a total of five dive bombers.

Presumably in order to divert the anti-aircraft fighters and take out the fast battleships that stood in the way, the third squad began to dive ahead of time under the leadership of the deputy squadron leader.

It's not an adventure, it's going to be cannon fodder.

The biggest advantage of the dive bomber is that it improves the hit rate and penetration ability of the bomb through a near-vertical dive.

The use of aviation armor-piercing projectiles equipped with delay-time fuses is ideal for dealing with large warships such as battleships and aircraft carriers. To put it simply, dropping a bomb by dive gives the bomb more speed, allowing it to penetrate the armored deck and explode inside the hull.

Of course, dive-dropping bombs is definitely a difficult technical task.

After several years of arduous exploration, Jiang Haiyang and other elite pilots of the Imperial Navy summed up a set of bomb-throwing tactics that were relatively effective, and the key was to be able to teach them to other pilots and master them through study and hard training.

First of all, the dive entry height must not be less than 1,500 meters, and it is best to reach 2,500 meters when dealing with warships with thick horizontal armor such as capital ships. Only by gaining a sufficient level of entry can the bomb be given enough speed by diving.

If the height is not enough, then the speed of the bomb will definitely not be enough, and the bomb may not be able to penetrate the armor of the battleship.

Secondly, the angle of the dive should ideally be between 70 and 75 degrees.

The dive angle should not be too small, which is easy to understand, that is, if the dive angle is too small, the throwing distance of the bomb, that is, the trajectory will be extended, which will lead to the expansion of the impact point deviation, and the end speed will be reduced, which will have an impact on the bombing effect.

If the dive angle is too large, it will be very difficult for the dive bomber to change the dive.

Finally, it is the height of the bomb, which can also be said to be changed to the height. Because it is related to the performance of the dive bomber and the personal ability of the pilot, it is impossible to generalize, but for ordinary pilots, the altitude should be controlled at more than 800 meters.

The five dive bombers entered the dive at an altitude of less than 2,000 meters, and the dive angle was less than 60 degrees.

What's even worse is that because the target is a fast battleship that has been completely remodeled, and the horizontal armor thickness must be more than 100 millimeters, so the bomb must be given a fast enough initial velocity to have enough kinetic energy to smash through the horizontal armor and deal a heavy blow to the battleship.

Do not forget that the original target of the strike was an aircraft carrier, not a battleship!

Not to mention that the aircraft carriers of the Narrow Navy did not use armored decks, even the aircraft carriers of the Bran Navy could not compare the thickness of the armored decks with the horizontal armor of battleships.

As a result, the 250 kg aviation armor-piercing shells carried by the dive bomber were all delayed for the aircraft carrier!

What do you mean?

The delay time of detonation is on the short side!

If it is against the capital ship, the delay will be longer.

The fuse is set before take-off and cannot be changed during the flight.

Then, it is only possible to make aviation armor-piercing shells "fly" faster!

In order to get a fast enough bomb throwing speed, and the dive angle was not large enough, the five dive bombers did not slow down after entering the dive.

The first three were shot down by the Zero before the bombs were dropped.

The latter two dropped bombs at an altitude of about 700 meters, but before they could be replaced, one of them was shot down by fighters and the other was torn to pieces by anti-aircraft guns.

All ten pilots on five dive bombers died heroically!

It's just that these five dive bombers also spelled out the last few fighters, to be precise, the last few air defense fighters were led to a low altitude.

These zeros all came from the east, most likely the air defense fighters of other carriers.

When the dropped bomb exploded near that fast battleship, throwing up a column of water more than a hundred meters high, Jiang Haiyang reached the dive entry point.

"Long live the navy, the empire lives forever!"

The machine gunner-navigator in the back seat shouted.

That's right, because if you don't shout again, when you start to dive, under the action of huge overload, let alone shouting, it's good to be able to hold on and not pass out.

Jiang Haiyang didn't shout, he had to go all out to control the dive bomber.

There is only one bomb, and there is only one chance, and there must be no mistakes!

Lived for more than forty years, maybe just for these few seconds.

As the nose was lowered, the aircraft carrier on the surface of the sea became clearer, revealing its outline to be exact, and the reflection of the flight deck was a bit harsh.

It was the water that was splashed on the deck by high-speed sailing.

Soon, Jiang Haiyang put the aircraft carrier into the aiming ring. It was a while before he heard the characteristic screech of the "Wasp" as it entered the dive.

Experienced pilots can judge the speed of the dive by the level of the screaming sound and accurately grasp the timing of the bomb drop.

There is no doubt that Jiang Haiyang is an experienced pilot.

Although compared with the aircraft carrier weighing tens of thousands of tons and with a length of more than 250 meters, it is less than three tons and has a wingspan of about 10 meters, which is as small as a mosquito in front of a giant beast, but under the control of Jiang Haiyang, this bomber is more like a bumblebee with a stinger.

It is for this reason that this dive bomber, which was finalized and mass-produced in 97 of the new calendar, was named "Wasp".

The point, Jiang Haiyang knows this bomber well.

After a few seconds of violent vibration, the force from the joystick suddenly disappeared, and the dive bomber entered a relatively stable phase.

Jiang Haiyang is waiting for this moment!

When the dive speed exceeds 450 kilometers per hour and the dive angle is about 70 degrees, the stability of the "Wasp" will suddenly increase, and it will remain for a few seconds.

No one can explain this phenomenon.

Even the engineers who designed the "Wasp" did not understand, and it can only be said that it was the result of the combined action of various factors.

If it can be controlled well, the bomb can be dropped in these few seconds, and the bomb can be dropped at a height of between 500 and 800 meters, so as to achieve the most ideal bomb delivery accuracy.

In the bomb throwing competition held by the Navy, Jiang Haiyang set a record that has not been broken so far.

Three times in a row, three bombs were dropped on a target with a diameter of ten meters.

What is this concept?

If in battle, it is equivalent to being able to hit a battleship the size of an aircraft carrier 100%.

Do not forget that none of the aircraft carriers had a flight deck less than twenty meters wide.

Of course, this is only a theoretical result.

"Zhu Huasheng, Lao Tzu has avenged you!"

After saying a word silently in his heart, Jiang Haiyang pressed the bomb dropping button on the top of the joystick.

Feeling the fighter shake slightly, Jiang Haiyang pulled back the control stick, and at the same time pushed the throttle stick to the end, controlling the dive bomber to change the dive.
