Chapter 039: The First Wave of Attacks
The Alaska fleet was defeated, two aircraft carriers were captured, China's Beijing Ministry of Defense was full of laughter, after so long, it turned out that it was the Alaskan fleet that attacked Beiyang City, which was indeed very embarrassing, but with the destruction of the Alaska fleet, they finally regained face, they didn't know that the Alaska fleet still had battleships and more than a dozen ships had already left, Wang Kai was excited, so he didn't ask, simply this fleet just ran, not any conspiracy, otherwise the Chinese fleet would be in danger,
The Arlastan fleet was routed and two aircraft carriers were captured, and this was the result of a telegram from Vice Admiral Dave, a telegram from the submarine that had escaped, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it,
Lieutenant General Spruance spat out a mouthful of blood, he has never been so aggrieved, even if the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, they were just angry, but they were not aggrieved,
"General, General." A cadre saw that Spruance actually vomited blood, this is a big deal,
Spruance wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm fine." ”
At this moment, he was thinking in his heart that the Chinese fleet had left now, and there were still more than two hours until dawn, and it would take several hours for them to rush to the accident area, and this was still the arrival of planes, and it would be a trouble to find the Chinese fleet at that time, and now he could only consider himself unlucky.
Spruance sent a telegram to the 14th Fleet informing them of the approximate direction of the Chinese fleet's withdrawal, telling the 14th Fleet to search carefully, and they themselves searched from north to south.
According to Spruance's intuition, he believes that the Chinese fleet, which has been at sea for a month, is now very tired, and now it has taken such a big advantage, and the captured aircraft carrier also needs to be pulled back for repair before it can be used, so the Chinese fleet will inevitably return to the Chinese mainland.
The bases of the Beiyang Fleet are in Dalian and Qingdao, so it is natural to go back here, so that the Beiyang Fleet will pass through the Ogasawara Islands or the Northern Mariana Islands, and then completely enter the sphere of influence of the Japanese.
Spruance could not swallow this evil breath, he decided to take a risk, at this moment the Chinese fleet will be slackened after a big victory, if the Japanese do not sell the American fleet, then Spruance thinks that he is very likely to kill this fleet of the Chinese,
Spruance immediately asked the interpreter to prepare a telegram for the 14th Task Force to cross the South Bird Island as quickly as possible and join the 15th Task Force led by him to pursue the Chinese Beiyang Fleet.
At a quarter past 5 o'clock in the morning, the sky was already dark, and the Chinese naval aviation immediately took off, although there was considerable danger in taking off at this time, but they didn't care so much, and now there was a good opportunity waiting for them, they had to go and annihilate the 14th task force of the Americans,
And the 14th task force is only 150 kilometers away from them at the moment, these days, in order not to be discovered by the 14th task force, the submarine once lost the 14th task force, fortunately there are early warning aircraft, otherwise they can't attack for a while, they can only watch the prey escape and regret it,
After 10 minutes, the plane was discovered by the US fleet, and the radar room immediately sounded the alarm.
The Americans even suffered defeats, at this moment everyone is full of hatred for the Chinese fleet that has come and gone without a trace, no one looks down on the Chinese anymore, they always fight 120,000 points of spirit, monitor this sea surface and radar, so the shadow of the aircraft group appeared on the catheter radar, and they immediately found out,
"Take off, take off." The captain of the aircraft carrier immediately let the pilots on standby take off, and their planes are in combat condition at all times,
In just five minutes, 40 American planes took off, but by this time the Chinese Air Force had arrived, and the planes of both sides were strangled together.
The captain of the Chinese plane knew that allowing the American plane to take off again would most likely lead to the failure of the operation, or at least the losses would be very heavy.
"The first squadron, the second squadron, immediately go and bomb the aircraft carriers of the Americans, and don't let their planes take off again."
"Received, received," said the squadron leaders of the two squadrons, and then the two squadrons respectively killed the American aircraft carriers, the fleet's anti-aircraft guns, rapid-fire heavy machine guns opened fire one after another, forming countless fire snakes, and the Chinese carrier-based aircraft avoided these shells and bullets,
"Boom...... Boom ......" anti-aircraft artillery shells exploded one after another, and sometimes hit the plane, and air waves will also affect the flight of the aircraft, but generally speaking, for the thick-skinned J-1 carrier-based fighter or H-1 bomber, as long as the place where the shell exploded is not too close, it will generally not cause any fatal damage to the aircraft, but will leave a lot of bullet marks.
"Whoosh...... Whoosh ......" The bullets of the rapid-fire machine gun formed one fire snake after another and grazed the side of the plane,
A bomber saw the opportunity to "boom", dropped a bombshell on the aircraft carrier, and then pulled the plane and flew away, a few seconds later, with a "boom", the runway of the plane was blown out of a two-meter diameter hole, a plane that was just about to take off rushed into the sea with a spirit, and soon heard a plopping sound,
The runway was blown up, and the planes on the aircraft carrier could not take off, although he was relieved of the danger of the planes fighting in the air, but the planes of the second squadron had no intention of stopping there.
A bomber swooped down again, wanting to give the aircraft carrier another bomb, but the American troops who had just been hit by a bomb were even more crazy at this time, their eyes were full of bloodshots, like demons, anti-aircraft guns, rapid-fire machine guns swept wildly,
"Boom ......", at the moment when the bomber dropped the bomb, he was also hit by a shell, and immediately exploded in the air, and countless fragments and smoke filled the sky,
The teammates in the back didn't have time to be sad, they could only drop bombs on the American warships to avenge the dead comrades, the smoke in the sky provided very good cover, the two bombers roared down and dropped the bombs, the levers flew away, and the two bombs once again landed accurately on the bow and left rotation, blowing up a big hole in the American aircraft carrier,
At this moment, another American aircraft carrier was bombed by the first squadron, and the first to appear were naturally fighters and bombers.
However, the first one they attacked was the fighter plane, saying that the carrier-based aircraft on the American aircraft carrier was taking off nervously, and the fighter was supposed to pursue the American planes that had just taken off, but a fighter plane did not do so, he saw that an American fighter plane was a shuttle, and at the same time pressed the button to launch a rocket, and a rocket flew towards the plane.
A few seconds later, the rocket hit the wings of the plane, the wings were completely destroyed, the plane made a few turns on the runway under the action of power and inertia, and the propeller directly cut off a ground crew, setting off a burst of blood mist, and then the plane hit a plane before stopping,
The American ground crew was secretly glad that there was no explosion, but now that the runway is occupied, it will take a while for them to clean up these two planes, and the air battle in the sky continues, and there are more Chinese planes, more than 100 of them, but the number of fighters is about the same as the planes taken off by the United States,
Until the obstacles are cleared, they can only rely on anti-aircraft fire for the time being,
"Move closer to the aircraft carrier, protect the aircraft carrier, and the interpreter on the aircraft carrier will directly send a report to the surrounding ships."
The surrounding ships quickly approached the aircraft carrier, and the anti-aircraft fire frantically pounced on the Chinese carrier-based aircraft, and under the intensive firepower, the Chinese side lost several more aircraft.
At this time, the fuel of the Chinese aircraft was almost exhausted, because the US Air Force took to the skies, and the results this time were not very large.
This is the end of the first wave of bombing, this wave of bombing, one US aircraft carrier was scrapped, the other aircraft carrier can continue to be used as long as the deck is cleared, and several destroyers and frigates have been damaged
sunk, a strategic ship of the United States also received a shell, a cruiser was sunk,
China lost more than a dozen aircraft, while the American side also lost more than 20 aircraft,
The squadron withdrew, and with unwillingness, the American planes continued to fight for a while, without any results, and at this time the second wave of Chinese planes was almost here,
Huang Feihu was also worried that the Americans would suffer several losses and would definitely not be as careless as before, so he did not dare to send out all the planes, he would definitely understand the situation on the battlefield and stay in a part, and when the situation was clear, he would send the second part.
Obviously, judging from the battle report, although the gain is not big this time, and the loss is not small, but the later attack has created powerful conditions, Huang Feihu knows that he has been favored by God too much in the past month, and good luck cannot always belong to him, although the tragic fight just now is cruel, but it is indeed the best process to train the pilots,
"Commander, what are you thinking?" Li Huixian said,
"Hehe, it's nothing, it just feels like these crew and pilots are good lads, if it weren't for the war, they would be able to live carefree now."
"Yes, but the so-called people don't offend me, I don't offend people, but we have been bullied for a hundred years, and I am afraid that there are forty or fifty million dead and injured people, if you count those who froze to death and starved to death because of the invasion, we have at least 100 million dead and wounded, and there is more money or something, the Old Summer Palace was looted, and the compensation is billions of taels of silver, today we must get it back one by one, as for the war there will always be deaths, today it is them, tomorrow it is us, if we swallow our anger, I am afraid that these Western countries will soon invade us again, and it is better to fight hard than to sit idly by, at least for the time being, we have a good chance of winning. ”
Huang Feihu nodded, he very much agreed with Li Huixian's words, when they were invaded by the Japanese, they didn't have good weapons, and they were so embarrassed to be pressed and beaten by the Japanese copper and iron, he would rather fight as honorably as now,
