After killing two US bombers, Jiang Wenhan received a call from Zhang Naiding, asking him to abandon the US bombers and go all out to assault the US fleet's air defense network and cover the bombers' entry. Jiang Wenhan immediately called his comrades-in-arms who were still catching up with the US bombers who were fleeing from the desert, and they were escort fighters, not air defense fighters. And the escort fighters have to deal with enemy fighters, not enemy bombers!

"Colonel, we're almost there!"

Jiang Wenhan had already seen the group of US fighters in front of him, and he quickly glanced at his watch, and arrived at 8:59 a.m., a few minutes later than scheduled, mainly because he wasted a little time when intercepting US bombers on the road. "Yes, we're almost there, get ready, let the Yankees teach us how good we are!"

When more than 30 fighters led by Jiang Wenhan killed each other, at least twice their size of the US fighters surrounded them.

"Damn, there are really a lot of enemy planes, don't you need money to buy Yankee fighter jets?" The wingman pilot shouted, it was a shout of excitement.

"The more the merrier, the more fighters we attract, the easier it will be for Zhang Naiding and them to break through the US military's air defense network!" Jiang Wenhan didn't yell and yell, that's not his characteristic, others gave him the nickname "Silent Killer". He really deserves his nickname.

The "Peregrine Falcon" group quickly dispersed, and Jiang Wenhan's more than 30 subordinates were all aces, and they were one of the fighter squadrons with the largest number of aces in the entire Imperial Navy fleet. Every two Peregrine Falcon forms a formation, and every two formations form a combat group. In this way, the four Peregrine Falcon can attack the enemy separately and cover each other. These tactics were summed up by Jiang Wenhan, and every pilot in the squadron knew very well how to cooperate with each other. Although the battle was fierce, from a distance, it looked like dozens of seagulls soaring above the sea, and it was not a battle, but a dance. It's a flock of goshawks dancing in the sky!

Jiang Wenhan is the most dazzling of this group of "dancers", under his control, the "Peregrine Falcon" is no longer a fighter with a speed of more than 420 knots, but a flexible actor dancing "tango" in the sky, but whenever the fighter jet on the ground 220 mm cannon spits out tongues of fire, it is a killing machine, a capable of bringing death and destruction to the enemy. A blade that takes the lives of your enemies!

"Well played, Colonel, you have a hit rate of more than eighty percent this time!"

"Don't be too happy, Zhang Naiding, have they arrived?" Jiang Wenhan was already sweating all over. He only fired three short shots and shot down two "super pirates", counting the two US bombers he had killed before, he killed four enemy planes with five short shots, which is quite scary.

"You know, they seem to be almost there!"

Jiang Wenhan quickly glanced in the southeast direction, and another squadron of escort fighters was speeding up. Zhang Naiding's fleet should be not far from the rear. Then. Jiang Wenhan pulled up the fighter, and the "Peregrine Falcon" deftly somersaulted in the air, and then began to dive at a speed of nearly 420 knots per hour.

More and more U.S. fighter jets are swarming in. When the bomber group led by Zhang Naiding arrived near the US fleet, there were already more than 150 fighters fighting in the sky, and the air was chaotic, and there were fighter planes everywhere.

"Colonel, where have all our fighters gone?"

"Contact Jiang Wenhan, damn, they all ran away, I don't want to be a live target for the Yankees!"

The navigator in the back seat immediately contacted Jiang Wenhan. It is most dangerous when the bomber group breaks through the interception of the enemy fighters, and at this stage, the enemy fighters are also the most crazy, if there is no direct cover of the escort fighters to ensure that the enemy planes cannot get close, then the bombers with bombs and torpedoes, those surprisingly slow, and extremely bulky bombers are simply the best targets!

Two summoned fighter squads immediately approached and took close cover above the left and right sides of the bomber group. They didn't go to the air fight, and as long as the U.S. fighter got close, they had to intercept it. As far as Jiang Wenhan's group of fighter pilots is concerned, their task is not to shoot down more US fighters, but to cover the bomber group's success in breaking through the interception of the enemy fighters; as long as the bomber group enters the enemy fleet's antiaircraft artillery fire network, they will have no business, how to penetrate the enemy battleship's anti-aircraft artillery fire network, and how to drop bombs and torpedoes on enemy ships, this is the business of bombers, not the escort fighters!

Perhaps the American fighter pilots in the sky had not yet noticed the bomber group that was rapidly approaching the fleet, but the air defense guides on the battleship would not ignore these enemy planes that posed the greatest threat. Soon, the US air defense fighters also received a call, and these fighters immediately got rid of the escort fighters entangled with them and immediately killed Zhang Naiding and them.

"Colonel, enemy aircraft!"

"What the hell, what is that madman Jiang Wenhan doing?" Zhang Naiding desperately lowered the nose of the plane and narrowly avoided a group of machine gun bullets. "Get them over right now and fuck them!"

The "peregrine falcons" are like a pack of sheepdogs, and those bombers are the "sheep" they need to protect. Seeing that the "flock" he was protecting was attacked, even Jiang Wenhan became anxious.

"Don't fuck those fighters, all go cover the bomber swarm!" Jiang Wenhan was the first to take the lead in giving up the pursuit of the US fighters and returned to his position, and the other fighters quickly followed.

The chaotic air battle was over, and now both sides had a clear purpose, with American fighters trying their best to shoot down bombers, and Imperial Navy fighters trying to protect them. If the bomber group commanded by Zhang Naiding is like a flood wave, then the fighter planes commanded by Jiang Wenhan and the fighter planes of the US military are the waves that have stirred up around this flood. Before ten o'clock, Zhang Naiding finally saw the battleships sailing at high speed on the sea in front of him.

"Prepare to disperse, the enemy fleet is in front, brothers, don't let Yang Shihong leave anything behind, kill the son of a bitch!"

The two groups quickly dispersed, and the "waterfowl" continued to fly at an altitude of 3,000 to 3,500 meters, and began to accelerate. A third of the fuel was used, and the fastest level flight speed of the "Shooting Waterbird", which was hung with 500 kg of aviation armor-piercing shells, exceeded 220 knots. Although this is much slower than the speed of a fighter, it is much faster than a warship on the sea. The "sea eagles" quickly dropped from 2,500 meters to about 500 meters, and some flew even lower. With a 900-kilogram aviation torpedo and two-thirds of the fuel left, the maximum level flight speed of the "Sea Eagle" at an altitude of 500 meters cannot exceed 210 knots, and it is quite good to exceed 200 knots.

Before they stormed into the US antiaircraft artillery firepower network, more than 20 bombers were shot down by US air defense fighters, but many more US air defense fighters were beaten down by escort fighters. When the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the American battleship opened fire. The bomber group rushed into the inner air defense circle of the US military, and for most bomber pilots, the most tragic battle had just begun!

"Lao Zhang, be careful, I won't accompany you in!"

"Damn, you're just guarding outside!" Zhang Naiding constantly controlled the flight status of the plane, and he was not in the mood to joke with Jiang Wenhan. "Scatter the groups, don't get together to be a target for the enemy, pay attention to dodge, and choose your own target. Don't be merciful! ”

When a 127mm VT shell explodes in the air, it produces hundreds of shrapnel. and the black smoke of gunpowder, which is like a black rose that symbolizes death blooming in the air. From time to time, shells exploded near the bombers, and Zhang Naiding did not dare to pay attention to other bombers. He had to concentrate and get himself done with the bombing first. Large-caliber anti-aircraft shells are powerful enough to crush any fighter plane, but for most bombers, they are not much of a threat unless they are hit directly by a shell, or indirectly within 10 meters.

"Colonel, the one in front is the CV-33 'Chishaji', which should be the flagship of Task Force 53."

"See, let's attack that aircraft carrier and drop bombs on the bridge!" Zhang Naiding had already seen the aircraft carrier in front of him that was turning to sail eastward. "Beckon the other bombers of the squad to follow, the first group will go with me, and the second group will follow closely to drop bombs, don't hesitate!"

"Understood!" At this time, the navigator had to be responsible for communicating with other bombers, and it was impossible for Zhang Naiding to be distracted to command the aircraft group to fight.

"Call the torpedo planes and let them follow up, damn, I don't want to go alone!" Zhang Naiding glanced under the plane. A swarm of torpedo bombers was breaking through, relatively speaking, torpedo bombers were much more dangerous than dive bombers, and the numerous small-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the battleship were enough to make the torpedo bombers pay a heavy price.

"Lao Zhang, don't go in from the front, go around to the port side!"

Zhang Naiding was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, it was Jiang Wenhan who reminded him from behind, and he also noticed that almost all of the US anti-aircraft fire was concentrated in the south, and if it could go around the port side of the US army, that is, the north, then the attack effect should be better.

"Lao Jiang, don't trouble me!" Zhang Naiding sneered, "Brothers, did you hear that?" Go around and let the torpedo planes attract American fire from the south, and we enter from the north! ”

The 16 "waterbirds" quickly turned and circled from the bow of the aircraft carrier "Chishaji". Most of the anti-aircraft shells fell behind the bombers, especially the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, because the rotation speed could not keep up with the turning speed of the bombers, and it was difficult to pose a threat to the bombers.

At this time, the US military was most concerned not about the dive bombers overhead, but about the torpedo bombers that were rapidly approaching at low altitudes. For any warship, the destructive power of a torpedo exceeds that of a bomb, and an aviation torpedo with a charge of 250 kg is more than twice as powerful as a 500-kilogram aerial bomb, and the damage caused is several times greater than that of an aerial bomb. In addition, torpedo bombers are also easier to intercept, so when facing dive bombers and torpedo bombers at the same time, most warships will choose to deal with torpedo bombers first, especially those small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, almost always fire at torpedo bombers.

Zhang Naiding gained a precious half a minute, he knew that this half minute was won for him by the dozen or so heroic torpedo bombers, and what he had to do was to turn this half minute time into a final victory, and the best way to repay his comrades was to throw the 500-kilogram aerial bomb hanging under his plane onto the aircraft carrier!

"Prepare to steer, be delayed, turn at the same time and start diving!"

Zhang Naiding was the first to start diving, and before the "Shooting Bird" could finish turning, he had already pressed down the control stick, and the bomber almost lost control because of this, so that Zhang Naiding had to use all his strength to control the bomber. The altitude was rapidly decreasing, the speed was getting faster and faster, Zhang Naiding felt that the bomber was about to be unable to withstand such a large dive speed, he opened the speed brake on the bomber in advance, the speed of the bomber was controlled, and the maneuverability became very poor. If he can't control the bomber, then the whole bomber will become a man-bomb in the end!

"Colonel, pull it up!"

"Damn, leave me alone!" Zhang Naiding clenched the joystick, he stared at the aircraft carrier below, even if it was a suicide attack, he would drop the bomb on the aircraft carrier.

"Pull it up, pull it up—" the navigator in the back seat already screamed.

Zhang Naiding did not immediately pull up the bomber, and when he was less than 500 meters away from the sea, he let go of the bomb throwing twist, and then used his strength to pull back the lever. The bomber was like a meteor, smashing directly into the sea, and it was not under Zhang Naiding's control at all.

"It's over, Colonel, we're done......"

"Finish your mother!" Zhang Naiding also roared, the huge weight pressed him to the seat, he stepped on the accelerator, and at the same time lowered the landing gear of the bomber. At the last moment, the "water bird" finally got rid of the stall, the plane almost flew off the sea, and at the last moment, even Zhang Naiding thought that he was finished, he did not expect that he would be able to fly again.

"Lao Zhang, you're fucking having a thrilling time!"

Zhang Naiding wiped the sweat off his forehead, and when he heard Jiang Wenhan's cool words, he laughed, this is the rest of his life after the catastrophe, a few seconds ago, he was just one step away from death, if the bomber changed to a stall state a tenth of a second late, then he would be finished!
