Chapter 040: A Heavy Blow

The American GIs are urgently dealing with the two planes blocked on the runway, they carefully pushed the two planes directly into the sea, and now it is too late to disassemble anything, the Chinese planes will come back at any time, the planes in the sky must immediately land and refuel, and the new planes must also go to the sky.

At present, they are very dangerous, the planes on an aircraft carrier can no longer provide air support, and now they can only look at this aircraft carrier, if this aircraft carrier cannot be used normally and quickly, then the 14th task force will be finished,

The radar soldier looked at the radar display screen without blinking, the Chinese plane has been getting farther and farther away, just after the Chinese plane has just left, and soon another wave of planes will come, there is no doubt that it is obviously the Chinese plane coming from that direction,

The communications soldier immediately reported the information to Lieutenant General Mack, who was so anxious that he shouted, "Hurry up, speed, the plane is ready to take off." ”

A group of ground crews saw that the commander was in such a hurry and knew that the situation was not good, so they accelerated the speed of cleanup, and soon they dragged the two planes directly into the sea at the risk of the plane exploding.

The propellers of an airplane have been started, the cart has left, and they can't wait to take off.

"Quick, quick, do you want to die, the Chinese are coming." Mike was very anxious,

More than 10 US planes took off urgently at the risk of rushing into the sea, but two of them fell into the sea during takeoff, but no one thought about it, and they rushed in and called the big guy pilot, and the takeoff of carrier-based planes could not be delayed.

There were only more than 70 Chinese air force planes this time, and soon the fighter planes pounced on the American fighters, and the two sides launched a big fight.

The performance of the aircraft is almost identical, and the combat experience is actually about the same, and the Chinese air forces have also sunk a lot of American ships.

The bombers and fish formations rushed to the US aircraft carrier that was still taking off planes under the protection of several fighters, and this time it was several fighters that flew first, and the fighters fired rockets at the US aircraft carrier to successfully prevent the US aircraft carrier from taking off again.

The intensive anti-aircraft fire of the US military rushed to the face, but it was still a little weaker than before, but the aviation of the Beiyang Fleet launched a fierce attack again against all odds, and the pilots left by the United States on the aircraft carrier looked at all this and scolded their mothers, as aviation, they could only stay on the aircraft carrier and watch all this,

As an aviation force, since the Battle of Midway, they have realized that the navy has changed from the era of giant ships and cannons to the age of aviation, and a fleet lacks the support of aviation, so it will inevitably be wiped out under the blow of the enemy's aviation, which makes them very worried.

Their commander, Task Force 15, commanded by General Spruance, is still thousands of miles away, and they can't save the fire from far water, and the closest island here is Wake Island, but it's a joke to expect land-based air to come to the rescue.

And at this moment, Spruance vomited blood again, and the telegram sent to him by Lieutenant General Mack just now was indeed angry.

After the first round of air raids, Vice Admiral Mack sent a telegram to Spruance, reporting the battle damage, Spruance only saw that an aircraft carrier could no longer be used and vomited blood, and now who does not know the importance of aviation, lost air supremacy, whether it is a naval battle or a land battle, it is undoubtedly lost, and the better situation is to escape some people and ships,

"It's over, Task Force 14 is finished." Although these words were demoralizing, Spruance could not restrain himself from speaking out,

Soon the report of the second wave of strikes by the Chinese came over, and Spruance saw that the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet had at least two aircraft carriers, and there was no news of a Chinese naval attack on the route in the eastern Pacific.

Spruance didn't understand what was going on, so far he didn't think that it was China's Pacific Fleet in the eastern Pacific, because China's landing plan in Alaska was smooth, and in order to confuse the US military, the roadbed air force also used some naval aircraft to attack land, which gave people the feeling that the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet was attacking him, otherwise how could there be carrier-based aircraft,

Spruance judged that China's Pacific Fleet has been assisting the Chinese Army in operations in the North Pacific and assisting the landing of the Chinese Army, and he can't think about how the Chinese would land if the Chinese Army landed without the support of the aircraft carrier fleet, and it is not possible to rely on airborne landing alone, and it must have a huge navy and transport ships to do it, if he knows that the Chinese have a landing ship that doubles as an air cushion carrier, and it does not need a transport ship in a regular port, I am afraid that he will vomit blood again.

With him, there is no need to land in a place where there is a port, and in fact, where there is a port, the US military not only has a tight grip, but also a large number of mine groups, and if it wants to cross over, the casualties will be extremely heavy.

Spruance remembers very well that China only has three aircraft carriers, one in the North Pacific to support the Chinese Army landing operations, last night's sneak attack on the Alaskan fleet was a fleet, and today there are two aircraft carrier fleets, Spruance can't figure it out, from the position of attacking the Alaska fleet if you don't rest to attack the 14th Task Force in the past, but from the Eastern Pacific to the current engagement, China's aircraft carrier fleet will take several days, But yesterday they also received news that American ships and transport ships were attacked by aircraft in the eastern Pacific,

Spruance carefully sorted it out, still not understanding how China Fever did it, could it be that the Chinese actually have more aircraft carriers than this, and the Chinese have more than three aircraft carriers,

The more Spruance thinks about it, the more he thinks that his guess is right, otherwise it can't be explained, in addition, although the development of the Chinese Navy is late, but it has been three years now, thinking about China's various strange behaviors and phenomena, Spruance believes that it is still very possible to build two more aircraft carriers,

Spruance even thinks that it was a Chinese miniaturized fleet that attacked the Alaska fleet yesterday, and this fleet did not have aircraft carriers, after all, yesterday's attack did not have an air force at all.

And today's attack is the real Beiyang Fleet, but they are still far from being able to dissolve the close fire, they can only pray, hoping that the 14th Task Force can save the day.

Lieutenant General Mack received a telegram from Spruance, but only wished them some relief and some encouragement, and Mike knew that he could not get any help.

"Puff ......" The air is full of the sound of planes diving quickly,

The bombers bombarded the American aircraft carriers, and at this time the decks of the two aircraft carriers were already full of desolation, and now they were waiting for the torpedoes to give them a fatal blow.

The torpedo planes knew that their opportunity had come, and under the blows of the bombers, the fire prevention of the 14th task force had been greatly weakened, and the flames of napalm burned the American troops on the deck into burning people, and many people jumped into the sea, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Of course, if the fires in these places are not extinguished in time, then the ammunition will be detonated, and the planes on the deck will also be ignited, and the rubber tires will soon be burned away.

The bombers were still looking for an opportunity to drop bombs, and the torpedo planes were looking for an opportunity to shoot torpedoes at aircraft carriers, battleships, and cruisers.

Seeing the torpedoes coming one after another, the US officers and soldiers picked up the weapons in their hands in a panic and shot at the torpedoes, hoping to detonate them.

"Quick, full rudder left, full rudder left." The commander of the battleship commanded the helmsman,

The helmsman quickly turned the rudder in his hand, round and round,

The fish is getting closer and closer, and the Americans' bullets can't detonate the torpedo, and what is even more terrifying is that there are several torpedoes behind the fish aimed at the battleship, and they are as agile as sharks, and they quickly pounce on the battleship,

It's only 30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters, all the officers and men on the battleship who can see this torpedo are all in a cold sweat, the most painful thing in life is to wait for death, but death will come quickly, this is an even more painful thing,

After all, the American GIs still did not detonate this torpedo, everyone closed their eyes, waiting for the moment of explosion, and even the psychological side of the explosion will come with a "boom" explosion,

After a few seconds, they opened their eyes, and there was no explosion, and they didn't need to look at it to know that it was a dud, and everyone was overjoyed, but at this time, there was a loud "boom", and the battleship shook wildly, and then a wave of air mixed with shrapnel and other various things rushed over,

These people had long mouths, and for only a second, they were rushed into the sky by the shock wave from the powerful explosion, and at the same time countless fragments hit their bodies, and they hung up like that,

And the doom of the battleship had just begun, and then two more torpedoes hit the front and rear positions of the battleship, and the sea water frantically poured into the cabin, and the American troops in the cabin were drowned before they had time to escape.

"Abandon the ship, abandon the ship...... "The captain shouted the same thing while the deputy captain shouted the same thing,

The U.S. military didn't need the captain to shout at this time to know that the ship was abandoned, obviously the battleship was not saved, they jumped into the sea with a lifebuoy, but after all, there were few lifebuoys, and most of them rushed directly into the sea.

The aircraft carrier was also torpedoed at this time, and two fish were hit by one and two torpedoes, respectively, and one of them soon began to sink,

At this time, the first wave of attacking aircraft had arrived again, and then there was a one-sided slaughter, and the 14th Task Force of the US Army escaped except for a few submarines, and all surface ships were wiped out, and none of them escaped the net.

The news reached the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Defense once again celebrated with wine, and the good news came one after another, how could they not be happy, and the news was quickly published, and the people of the whole country were also happy,

With the destruction of the 14th Task Force, the first phase of the Pacific Naval War came to an end temporarily, and although Spruance's 15th Task Force was frantically looking for the Beiyang Fleet, it never found the Chinese Fleet from beginning to end.
