Chapter 028: Pursuing the Alaskan Fleet

The Pacific Ocean is too big, and the pilots of the US military fleet are not stupid, they know that China has heavy long-range bombers, so they want to escape from the search of the Chinese Air Force.

Enraged, Zhou Zhirou and all the officers and men of the Air Force were looking for the US aircraft group and their fleet in an orderly manner, and after more than ten minutes, they finally tracked down the American aircraft group.

At this time, the US military aircraft group made a bend and flew southward, and the Chinese side immediately took off 150 J-1 fighters evolved from the P51 Mustang fighter and 100 H-1 bombers developed on the B29 Flying Fortress bomber.

When the US fleet was still 150 kilometers away from flying to the Alaska fleet, the Alaska fleet detected another group of planes coming from the direction of China, and the two sides were about 40 or 50 kilometers apart.

Admiral Dave immediately sent a telegram to the American carrier-based aircraft group to confirm whether they were returning in a wave or separately, and the carrier-based aircraft group quickly replied that they were a wave,

Dave felt bad, fortunately there was a radar, otherwise they would be dead, Dave didn't expect the Chinese Air Force to be so interested, and he could track the group that put them, at this time he didn't have time to think about that,

Now he had to make a decision, he knew that once the fleet was discovered by China, there was only one way to destroy it, and it was too late to escape.

Dave told the dispatcher, "Tell the fleet that they are probably locked by the Chinese planes, and now they are afraid that they will not be able to return to the fleet, otherwise the fleet will be put in danger by them." ”

The U.S. carrier-based aircraft group soon received the telegram, and these people were scared into a cold sweat at this time, they were discovered, and they could not return to the fleet, these words were swirling in their minds, and if they did not return to the fleet, what should they do?

Dave's telegram was sent quickly, Dave told them to go to the Japanese islands for a forced landing, or they could fight with the Chinese Air Force before making a forced landing, but they must not return to the fleet, otherwise they will not only be wiped out, but the entire fleet will also be wiped out,

The captain of the carrier-based aircraft group quickly understood that their planes, and planes that consume a lot of gasoline, cannot fight with the Chinese land-based air force, and it is a dead end to fight, and the performance of land-based aircraft is slightly better than that of carrier-based aircraft, and Chinese planes do not need to fight them, as long as they spend a period of time with them, they will have to make a forced landing because of the lack of fuel on the aircraft, otherwise only the plane will be destroyed and people will die.

However, the captain still didn't give up, because he didn't think that the Chinese Air Force had discovered them, it was just a coincidence, so he argued with reason, Dave was also a little hesitant, maybe it was really a coincidence, but he still didn't dare to take the risk,

When the carrier-based aircraft group was only 80 kilometers away from them, he found that the Chinese Air Force was getting closer and closer, and Dave could no longer sit still, so he immediately ordered the aircraft group to cover the fleet to withdraw,

At this moment, the carrier-based aircraft group also believed that they had indeed been discovered, and the captain did not hesitate, he immediately asked the fighters to return, while the bombers flew west to the Japanese islands and made a forced landing, while the fleet immediately withdrew,

Dave's fleet didn't even dare to let the bombers or some of the planes return, because it would take a lot of time to land, and it would be too late for them to run.

The early warning planes of the Chinese Air Force soon discovered that the American aircraft group was divided into two groups, and they soon discovered that all the fighters that came to meet them were fighters, while the bombers of the US carrier-based aircraft flew towards the Kuril Islands under the cover of a dozen fighters.

The Chinese Air Force dispatched so many planes to have enough strength to deal with such a situation, and they immediately divided 40 planes to pursue the fleeing American carrier-based aircraft group, and another 100 J-1s followed the American Hellcat Battle, while the remaining 100 H-1s and 60 J-1s flew south.

The Chinese captain who carried out this thought keenly felt that the American fleet was in the south, and their fuel was enough, so he decided to take a risk.

The Chinese Air Force has also divided its forces, and Captain America immediately saw the intentions of the Chinese Air Force, the fleet is less than a hundred kilometers away, and they can't let the Chinese Air Force succeed,

Captain America immediately once again divided most of the aircraft to intercept the Chinese bomber formation, although the H-1 has good performance and long range, but after all, it is a bulky bomber, and the U.S. planes are killed, and the J-1 has to adjust the formation to meet the hellcats.

The American pilots are very cunning, they know that they can't return, so there is no way back, at this time it can be said that they are in ruin, they are very brave, and they are not afraid of death, at this moment all the American pilots have only one belief in their hearts, that is, to drag the Chinese Air Force, to buy more time for the fleet to escape,

Captain America said: "Warriors, now we have only one goal, that is, to do our best to drag the Chinese Air Force, don't let them fly south, otherwise the entire Alaska fleet will be wiped out." ”

"Understood." Everyone said in unison, and then they did not fight hard with the Chinese Air Force, but adopted guerrilla tactics, stealing chickens from time to time, and staring specifically at the Chinese bomber group, which not only suffered the bomber group, but also the fighter group was annoying, and the Americans would have no way to pursue the US fleet.

The battle lasted more than 1 hour, and although the U.S. fighter group was finally wiped out, they had to return due to lack of fuel, and the Alaska fleet was able to escape.

The big winner of this US sneak attack is actually not the Americans, let alone the Chinese, but the Japanese, the original air battle is very close to the Kuril Islands controlled by Japan, the US carrier-based bomber group knows that its aircraft and land-based fighters are only completely exploded, so they are a strong escape, and later more than 30 bombers and two Hellcat fighters successfully forced landing on the Japanese islands, which can make Japan pick up a big bargain, these planes are the most advanced aircraft of the US Navy, And all aspects of performance have been tested by war,

Japan used to dominate the Pacific Ocean for half a year with snack fighters, but that was in the first half of 1942 in the basic calendar, and now it is in the second half of 1945 in the basic calendar.

Japan began to fight with China and the United States, and then withdrew from China and fought with the United States, and finally obtained Australia, and the United States also ceased war, but because China is too powerful, the feud between the two sides is too deep, Japan has to move the whole country, all of this has invisibly dragged down Japan, first of all, after peace, Japan's great migration has affected the development of industry, and Japan's military industry has been seriously restricted. During this time of migration, they were not able to conduct important experiments and so on,

Therefore, Japan has not made much progress in high-end technology compared to 42 years ago, and after the Zero type, they have never developed a satisfactory aircraft, or the overall performance is not good, or it is a problem with the fuselage, or a problem with the propeller, or a problem with the engine, in short, there will be countless problems waiting for him,

The Zero is an outdated product for a long time, he is vulnerable in front of the Hellcat, and the Japanese must have an aircraft to compete with these planes in order to guarantee the interests of Japan,

After the US planes landed in Japan en masse, everyone in Japan was overjoyed, and everyone knew that American planes were good things, and with these planes, with Japan's many years of technological accumulation, there was not much of a problem in copying them.

In fact, they did copy very quickly, and with the resources of Australia and many islands in Southeast Asia, their air power was quickly strengthened, but that's for another time.

Failed to kill the American fleet, and even didn't see people's hair, which made Zhou Zhirou very angry, but he ran away, and he had no choice, now he can only avoid being attacked again next time, of course, the current war over the Bering Strait is the most critical, the United States is worthy of being the world's first industrial power, the planes, pilots, and ammunition are constantly transported to Alaska, and the air war has been nearly half a month, and no one has anything to do about it.

Of course, the Chinese army has not landed yet, as long as the navy is not strong enough, and it is still contained, and the US air force is strong, the fortifications are also very complete, and the naval strength is much more than China, so the Chinese mother has adopted a plan of encroachment step by step, first to seize the Aleutian Islands, fortunately, it has been successful, and is now advancing to the Alaska Peninsula.

The Alaska fleet led by Dave finally escaped, Dave didn't know whether to be happy or sad, happy that they had capital, and the most important port of Kamchatka was bombed by them.

unhappy because there are only a dozen planes on their aircraft carriers now, and if they are facing the enemy's air force strike, they really have only one way to die,

At this moment, the Alaska fleet looks very powerful, but in the era of air supremacy, their giant ships and cannons have become ornaments.

But he finally escaped, and Spruance, who had just taken over as commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, had not yet recovered from the joy of the remarkable results of the bombing of Beiyang City, and a bad news came back that the carrier-based aircraft of the Alaska Fleet were all wiped out, which means that the Alaska Fleet was in danger at all times,

As a last resort, Spruance could only order Dave to lead the fleet back to join them, of course, this is the only way Dave can go, without the plane, unless he doesn't want to live, there is no way to attack China's territory and retreat,

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhirou had already informed the Beiyang Fleet of the possible existence of the Alaska fleet, and Huang Feihu had gathered a group of capable subordinates who were studying how to intercept this fleet and destroy this fleet.

But they are only a fleet, how can they find this weak fleet above the vast sea?
