Chapter 1368: Hit South Carolina hard
Shen Mingyuan, the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 4th Army Aviation Division, firmly controls his beloved war eagle, and the Tianyi torpedo plane is undoubtedly the best attack aircraft he has ever piloted, although the 630-kilogram Stinger torpedo under the belly seriously dragged down the flexibility of the fighter, but the control of the aircraft in the sideways sea breeze is still stable, if you throw away the torpedo, you can easily pull up the fighter and jump quickly, with the .13 machine gun in the nose, it is not impossible to attack the enemy......
By the time the US warships fired the first salvo, the fighters had already descended rapidly from 18,000 meters away, and at a distance of 14,000 meters, they formed a final attack posture of 150 meters at a final altitude of 150 meters and a dive angle of 10 degrees.

Such an altitude and dive angle can effectively use the dazzling sunlight behind the fighter fuselage to seriously interfere with the optical observation equipment of the frontal enemy ship, and the 1st Air Division and 1st Regiment, which created this tactic, have accurately carried out a series of observations, and under the optimal attack line, the observation and sighting equipment at multiple points on the target warship is basically blind at a distance of 7,000 to 10,000 meters...... At distances below 5,000 meters, observations by optical devices are meaningless, and visual observation can confirm the location of the attack, but if it is in a strongly contrasting sunrise and sea level, it can still cause serious shooting obstacles.
Shen Mingyuan raised his wrist, and the watch outside the green flight suit pointed to 6:48, his target ship was the battleship in the fourth sequence of the American Grand Fleet formation, with two huge cage lookouts and the main gun layout of the front two and three back, clearly marking it from the many battleships...... However, at this moment, he didn't pay much attention to who the target was, and the fighter had already entered the final impact!
At this time, the wingman shook his wings, and at close range, Shen Mingyuan clearly saw the salute of his old partner Major Sun Yong, and he immediately made a gesture of blessing, and the wingman immediately pressed down his wings and descended quickly, forming a three-dimensional strike posture with a height of 30 meters with the long plane, and almost at the same time, the flight formation ushered in the first round of artillery fire!
Several black clouds suddenly appeared in front of Shen Ming's distant side, and the next moment he was left behind, but the roar of the explosion seemed to sound in his ears, and he held the flight control stick firmly and pulled it up slightly without hesitation, and carried out tactical maneuvers......
Approx. 7000 m...... It took about 1 minute for the Yankees to observe their flight regiment and prepare for artillery fire, on the whole, it can't be compared with the old oilmen of the Northern Fleet who practice all day long, but it can be regarded as a good tactical literacy, but the time they give the Yankees is not much, and the 200 km speed of the Tianyi torpedo plane only needs 2 minutes to launch torpedoes against the belly of the Yankee's battleship!
Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......
The shells that continued to explode all around, although there were a large number, but under the dazzling sunlight, the shooting accuracy was really not very good, and what made Shen Mingyuan even more puzzled was that when he approached quickly, he could even hear the cannonballs whistling around him, and then he didn't know the explosion far behind him, in fact, Shen Mingyuan, who was pulling 30 meters up and entering the first stage of the straight line dive, did not encounter decent dense firepower at all, and a minute passed without any thrill!
6000 m ...... 5000 m ...... 4000 m ......
Boom Boom Boom ...... Dada......
The fierce ship-borne 2-pounder and 3-pounder machine guns joined the counterattack, and the No. 192 torpedo attack piloted by Shen Mingyuan has been quickly reduced to a low altitude of about 40 meters, and constantly adjusted the course, and began to enter the final attack posture.
Suddenly, the corner of Shen Mingyuan's left eye flashed, and the nose of wingman No. 197, which was advancing 40 meters away and nearly 70 meters high, suddenly caught fire, and the fighter plane struck the sea one by one, which made him suddenly feel a pain in his heart...... Pilot No. 197 Li Jinwei is a Chinese from Luzon, and he has been serving in the Army Aviation for almost 7 years......
But the thought came to me in a flash...... Only by completely defeating the Yankees' wanton Grand Fleet in the Pacific can more outstanding young people and more children have a future...... On the American battleship not far away, the cannon flames sprayed from every fire launch point were already clearly visible, and the huge, pitch-black hull of the ship, for Shen Mingyuan, had no fear at all, but the prey under the claws of his fierce war eagle!
Rear Admiral Evans stood in the commander tower of the battleship USS South Carolina, looking anxiously at the Chinese fighter plane that flickered in the harsh sunlight on the port side...... For the Chinese fighter to accurately grasp the ability of the fighter so accurately, as a commander, he already has a fear from the heart, the Chinese in Guam not only built a huge fortress that makes the powerful fleet helpless, but what makes him even more afraid is that the three-dimensional war concept displayed by the Chinese has made him see the huge crisis of defeat.
The U.S. Navy also has carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, and the U.S. Navy has carefully studied the aircraft carrier tactics of the Royal Navy of the Allied Powers, but even the Royal Navy, which has a strong maritime force, obviously lags behind Chinese in terms of naval weapons and tactics......
Boom Boom Boom ...... Dada......
The flames of the small-caliber guns on the side of the side obscured the view of the command tower for a while, but this short few seconds was as heavy as a century, Major General Evans couldn't wait to rush out of the command tower and climb the side of the lookout spiral ladder, and when he just stood firm and raised the binoculars, the two Chinese fighters were already roaring past the top of the battleship command tower in the fierce artillery fire!
Then, from the port side, there was a terrifying cry for help that he will never forget...... "200 meters...... Torpedo...... Torpedo attack!! ”
"Turn the rudder right! Turn right rudder! "There is no need for Rear Admiral Evans to give a personal order, the staff officers in the command tower have already yelled at the microphone, and the battleship of the South Carolina Lyron Rhona, which had just accelerated to 16 knots, immediately swung at high speed, and the large-angle rudder brought the **** of the battleship nearly 40 degrees, so that Rear Admiral Evans had to pull the spiral ladder tightly!
Without waiting for Major General Evans to react, the roar of the huge fighter plane roared again, and the other company with the red Chinese military flag on his belly once again swept sideways at a height of less than 30 meters above his head, and the American general who was tilting his head and the Chinese pilot wearing black sunglasses on the fighter plane stared at each other for 1 second, allowing him to see a cold smile on the face of the Chinese pilot!
At his feet, the huge battleship South Carolina, with a displacement of 20,000 tons, suddenly shook as if it had been hit hard...... A huge column of water at least 1 meter thick rose directly from the port side of the battleship, near the 75mm secondary gun position of the port side No. 1 on the port side, and rushed directly to an altitude of at least 30 meters, and then poured it on the stunned Rear Admiral Evans!
More than a dozen sailors on the starboard deck who had been sent to observe before, at the moment of the explosion on the side of the side, were directly knocked into the sky by the huge counter-impact force, and at this moment the large-angle **** hull of the battleship of the South Carolina prevented them from falling directly into the sea, but it was obviously unable to save their doom, and the oblique angle was thrown into the air, and the huge impact force made more than a dozen soldiers who had just exclaimed the torpedo warning smash on the steel armor on the side of the command tower, leaving a bloody wall!
Rear Admiral Evans was also stunned by the tremendous impact of the torpedo hitting the battleship, but fortunately he was in the closed spiral ladder of the cage lookout, and he grasped it firmly, except for a little skin on his head, it was not a big deal, and when he came back to his senses and realized that the battleship he commanded had been hit by a damn Chinese torpedo, he was really ready to run back to the command tower......
In the next moment, another huge impact directly catapulted Rear Admiral Evans, who had just let go, into the air, and another huge column of water rose from the middle of the battleship! Major General Evans, who was still sober, immediately realized that what he had just seen was 3 Chinese fighters, so the damned Chinese had cast at least 3 torpedoes!
It was clear that the battleship South Carolina's emergency evasive rudder did not evade the torpedoes fired at close range by the opposing torpedo planes...... After being hit with a blood bag, he immediately grabbed the spiral ladder beside him, and waited helplessly for the doomsday judgment......
Unexpectedly, the explosion of the third torpedo hit did not come as expected, but a series of ear-chilling roars mixed with the sound of metal friction sounded from the back of the battleship, and a stunned Rear Admiral Evans looked up to see a Chinese fighter with billowing black smoke in the bow passing the battleship in a strange flight position almost perpendicular to sea level!
Immediately after, another huge explosion sounded from the stern of the battleship USS South Carolina! And the Chinese fighter with billowing black smoke almost flew past the position of the main turret at the tail of the battleship South Carolina, and then flew diagonally into the distance, flying lower and lower!
"Captain, there are 3 mines on the port side, and the main armor belt at 2 meters below the waterline is seriously damaged!"
"There are many watertight compartments on the port side damaged! There is a lot of water ingres! ”
"The bilge is heavily permeable...... I'm afraid it's the keel structure of the ship's hull that is damaged! ”
One minute later, Rear Admiral Evans, who rushed into the conning tower with a disgraced face, got a terrible report from his equally embarrassed subordinates, Chinese fighters fired 4 torpedoes and hit 3, and although the battleship South Carolina was an advanced Dreadnought-class battleship of the US military, it was definitely not perfect in terms of anti-aircraft firepower.
The side side is used for torpedo boats and other small warships 11 75mm auxiliary guns have a limited elevation angle, although in the battle just now can counterattack the opponent, but in fact, if the distance is a little farther and the opponent's flight altitude is higher, it is completely a decoration, but the small-caliber 3-pounder gun and machine gun are still usable, but the shooting distance is very weak for the protection of battleships.
On the other hand, in addition to making full use of the interference of the sun, the opponent's 4 fighters attacked in echelons, making it difficult to improve the dispersion of their own firepower, and at the cost of only one damaged, the battleship South Carolina suffered heavy damage!
