Coral Sea.

After breaking through the defensive circle of the Anjia Army's escort group, the Japanese aircraft group launched a surprise attack on the aircraft carrier group in the center of the fleet from all directions.

Fearing that they would be injured by mistake, the escort fighters of the An Jiajun did not follow and chase them, but opened heavy fire on the Japanese land-based and carrier-based fighters that came after them, and for a while, the sky became extremely chaotic, and the Japanese fighters, carrying bombs and torpedoes, struggled to break through the defensive circle formed by the anti-aircraft fire of destroyers and light and heavy cruisers on the outer edge of the fleet, and pounced towards the aircraft carrier group in the center.

When the Japanese fighters flew over the anti-aircraft fire network constructed by 127-mm anti-aircraft guns, 4-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns, and 2-mm Erlikon guns, the heavy cruisers and light cruisers on the second and third floors, as well as the four-mounted "Houyi" IIB anti-aircraft missile launchers on the fourth-tier missile destroyers, sprayed fire dragons together.

The officers and men of the An Jiajun Navy who operated all this on the battleship saw an unforgettable scene:

Missiles with long columns of smoke and flames at their tails approached the Japanese fighters above the fleet at a high speed unimaginable to ordinary people. Although the Japanese fighters tried their best to dodge, the anti-aircraft missiles exploded on their own after approaching the Japanese planes, and the built-in rod-shaped and spherical preset fragments shot in all directions, hitting the fragile and light fuselage of the Japanese fighters, easily beating one fighter, bomber, and torpedo plane after another.

Most of the Japanese fighters were overwhelmed and disintegrated and exploded in the air, while a few dragged the smoke into the sea.

It is important to know that each "Jiefang"-class destroyer is equipped with two quadruple "Houyi" IIB anti-aircraft missile launchers, which can launch eight anti-aircraft missiles at a time, plus six "Xuanyuan"-class heavy cruisers and seven "Legend"-class light cruisers, each equipped with a missile launch tower, and a round of air defense missile salvo will have 148 missiles to attack.

With the 70 percent hit rate of the "Houyi" II air defense missile, more than 90 Japanese fighters approaching the aircraft carrier were successfully reimbursed at one time.

Unfortunately, the number of Japanese fighters was too large, and although the follow-up attack formation that took off from the aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy's First Air Fleet was not seen for a long time, the Japanese land-based fighters flew from the airfields on the east coast of New Caledonia and Australia. But it is like a carp crossing the river, and it quickly fills the space that has just been emptied.

In between the loading of missiles, hundreds of light and heavy cruisers, destroyers, and aircraft guns armed with the aircraft carrier itself, all opened fire in the air, and the furious metal barrage wantonly killed all the targets it aimed. Due to the application of VT signal tubes. The shells exploded automatically when approaching the Japanese fighters. The hit rate, although not comparable to that of missiles, is quite impressive.

Most of the Japanese fighters were shot down by intensive firepower, but the Japanese fighters still managed to break through to the heart of the fleet by relying on their large numbers. The 99 ship began to dive and bomb, while the 97 ship attack lowered the altitude and threw torpedoes into the sea.

Many of the 97 ships were volleyed by anti-aircraft fire at the moment before they were thrown, and others, although they were successfully thrown, were strangled by the fire net as they fled.

The "Legend" and "Kunlun" class aircraft carriers are equipped with fifty 3-mm rifled machine guns on the side of the aircraft carriers specially designed to protect against torpedo attacks. Under the control of the computer system built into the hull, intensive fire was fired at the high-speed torpedoes, and none of these torpedoes, which were full of the hopes of the Japanese pilots, were blown up.

The Japanese pilots of the 99th shipburst piloted the landline, and did the rolling, sideways, and diving movements cleanly and neatly, without dragging mud and water, and deftly dodging the rain of bullets that came from the spray. In the midst of the terrible roar, about twenty or thirty ninety-nine ships broke out into a cluster attack, trying to make a desperate fight.

It's a pity. The officers and men of the Anjia Navy did not give them this opportunity, and as the second round of launches of the "Houyi" IIB anti-aircraft missile began, the missiles with a speed of Mach 2 once again rushed towards their respective targets, and the Japanese fighters turned into fireballs in a desperate howl. The wreckage of the planes that shot out in all directions made the deck of the aircraft carrier sound as a sound.

Long before the Anjia Army fleet was baptized by the Japanese planes, the Japanese First Air Fleet was severely attacked by the Anjia Army's sortie planes.

At 6:55 a.m., the surface crews on the aircraft carriers of the Japanese fleet were clearing the deck. Prepare for the third wave of sortie fighters raised by the take-off and landing planes, and this is at this time. The Japanese lookout spotted the black-pressed group of planes attacking in the sky and quickly sounded the air defense alarm.

Admiral Tabun Yamaguchi, commander of the First Air Fleet, on the one hand, sent escort fighters to meet the battle, and on the other hand, turned the fleet into an anti-aircraft formation, with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns ready to fire.

The carrier-based aircraft strike group of the Anjia Navy, which bypassed the area of the first wave of air combat from the east, was still led by the "Thunderbolt" carrier-based fighters.

The 18 "Zero" and 24 "Gale" fighters that the Japanese army took the initiative to meet lost most of their half in the first round of "Moon-Shooting"-I infrared air-to-air missile attacks, and the rest of the fighters soon fell prey to the "thunderbolts" and fled in all directions.

"Knock-"

The "Akizuki"-class air defense destroyers on the periphery of the Japanese fleet constantly fired into the air, and antiaircraft artillery shells exploded in the air one after another black smoke clouds, and sharp shell fragments formed a dense barrage inside and outside the clouds.

In this batch of incoming "Thunderbolt" carrier-based fighters, except for the six escort squadrons carrying two air-to-air missiles, the rest are either attached with one 1-kilogram aerial bomb or six 127-millimeter rockets suspended on the wings, which can be used as attack planes.

Amid the terrible howling, a "Thunderbolt" fighter rushed towards the Japanese destroyer and rolled back and forth to avoid the Japanese anti-aircraft fire.

Cannonballs fired from Japanese battleships, with piercing screams, swept past the sides of the "thunderbolt". The four 3-mm rifled guns equipped with the "Thunderbolt" spat out one after another of fire whips, and a dense rain of bullets hit the hull of the ship, splashing patches of scarlet blood everywhere they went, and the Japanese naval air defense soldiers who were organizing anti-aircraft shooting fell in a pool of blood.

The previous "Thunderbolt" had just swept past the Japanese destroyer, and another "Thunderbolt" fighter had swept over the same destroyer, and a row of dense 3-mm artillery shells had caused the Japanese sailors to fly with flesh and blood. With a loud "boom", the Japanese destroyer burst into flames, and its speed gradually slowed down, and then two consecutive 1-kilogram bombs directly sank the battleship with a full load displacement of 37 tons into the sea.

One Agano-class light cruiser spat out tongues of fire in a lifeless manner, and two "thunderbolts" swept over the battleship like two lightning bolts. The Japanese air defense on the ship fired into the air with all their might. However, due to the fact that the speed of the "thunderbolt" was so fast, several clear bullet marks crossed the perimeter of the fighter, and the Japanese attack was useless.

The wings of the two "Thunderbolts" shook slightly, and one of the 1-kilogram bombs each fell. The Japanese battleship burst into flames and began to spin in place.

At this time, a T1 torpedo bomber that smelled the fighter plane swept over from a low altitude and dropped a torpedo when it approached the chaotic Japanese light cruiser less than 5 meters, and there was a loud "boom". The Japanese Navy's "Agano"-class light cruiser was hit by a torpedo in the amidships, and the cabin was flooded and began to sink slowly.

And those "thunderbolts" with rockets on the outside also show extraordinary attack power. No, after the two "thunderbolts" rose to an altitude of 2,000 meters, they suddenly swooped down and rushed towards a "Take" destroyer on the periphery of the Japanese army.

Fire dragons scrambled to shoot at the Japanese warships. Some of the misses became near-misses, stirring up columns of water that soared into the sky, but most of them hit the target, exploding fireballs on the hull.

The power of the 127-mm rockets should not be underestimated, and eight rockets in a row hit the hull. The destroyer with a displacement of 125 tons sank into the sea amid continuous explosions.

The Anjia Army's sortie aircraft group adopted the tactics of piecemeal and stripping away the cocoons, giving priority to the escort ships on the periphery of the Japanese First Air Fleet, gradually weakening their anti-aircraft firepower, and destroyers and light and heavy cruisers were constantly being shot and sunk.

The various escort ships of the Japanese army desperately fired into the air. Since the Japanese had already obtained the VT signal management technology of the Americans at this time, the anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese army put a certain amount of pressure on the naval fighters of the An Jiajun. Two "Thunderbolts", four 1-B dive bombers and six T1 torpedo bombers were hit in a row, and the hero's blood stained the blue sky.

At 7:20 a.m., the F2-B "Golden Eye Eagle" carrier-based fighters carrying the "Falcon" II anti-ship missiles, escorted by the "Hai Dongqing" fighters, finally arrived 10 kilometers east of the Japanese fleet. As the "Golden-Eyed" pilot pressed the missile launch button, 90 "Falcon" II anti-ship missiles broke away from the fuselage, pulled out a long column of smoke, and broke through the air.

In order to avoid accidental injury, at this time, 150 "Thunderbolt" carrier-based fighters took the initiative to break away from the battle and climbed to a high altitude at the highest speed. The rest of the 1-B dive bombers and T1 torpedo bombers, who were surrounding the Japanese fleet in search of opportunities, also hurriedly withdrew, and soon hid high in the air.

Although the Anjia military aircraft group did not really evacuate and was still eyeing the sky around the fleet, it had an extraordinary significance for the Japanese sailors who had just been abused to death--they believed that it was through their own efforts that the opponent finally lost the courage to attack, and a sense of satisfaction arose.

In the blink of an eye, anti-ship missiles dragging their tails have appeared in the field of vision of the pilots of the An Jiajun in the sky, ninety flames pushing the thick cigar-shaped object, flying at a speed of Mach 9 2 meters above the sea level, so stealthy that when the first anti-ship missile hit a Japanese destroyer on the periphery and successfully sank it, those devils turned their attention back to the sea from the sky.

Due to the scattering of the attack aircraft group of the An Jiajun, the attention of the Japanese army was focused on the sky, and most of the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were looking up to the sky at this time, and the anti-ship missiles were flying too fast, and even if the devils found out, they would not have time to organize firepower to intercept them.

In less than two minutes, 90 missiles bombarded the ships of the Japanese fleet at a rate of one every two seconds.

For this short period of time, for the Japanese First Air Fleet, it was as if it was in a boiling oil pot, full of suffering and pain, and the sudden arrival of anti-ship missiles caused the surface ships of the Japanese fleet to suffer a fierce blow. The power of the high-explosive ** in the Japanese army's battle is very powerful, and the Japanese army is very powerful.

The residual fuel in the rear of the missile, combined with the high temperature and heat generated by the explosion, the flames burned violently and splashed in all directions, and for a time the entire Japanese fleet became a burning island of fire on the water.

"Baga! How did the people of China get the projectiles to us? Is it through battleships? Or is it an airplane throw? ”

Standing on the command platform of the flagship aircraft carrier "Shinano", Yamaguchi Tawen Osa looked at everything that was happening outside through the porthole, and his mind was chaotic for a year, and he couldn't tell whether this was a dream or a reality! New explosions were being made throughout the fleet at any time, and the continuous explosions and thick smoke made Yamaguchi Tawen and the other Japanese admirals finally understand why the fighters of the Anjia Army had stopped attacking and increased in altitude.

The Japanese fleet, which had originally formed a tight air defense formation, suddenly became chaotic, and more than a dozen of the destroyers in the outer eight were estimated to have been hit in the ammunition depot or boiler room, and the explosions sounded one after another, and looking at the intensity of the explosions, what awaited them could only be the doom of disintegration.

Half of the twelve aircraft carriers were hit, but only two lost power and floated on the surface of the sea. All four heavy cruisers were attacked by anti-ship missiles, two of them did not damage the power system, but suffered heavy losses from anti-aircraft fire, and the other two ships were still able to move on the sea, but their speed had dropped by half compared with just now. Of the six light cruisers, one was unlucky, the side was pierced, and as the sea poured in, it reluctantly began to sink, and the others still smoked and did not look good.

Seeing that the Japanese fleet had lost its formation, the attack plane group of the An Jiajun led by the "Thunderbolt" carrier-based fighter fiercely swooped down from the sky and pounced on the Japanese fleet that was licking its wounds.

Since most of the Japanese ships were hit by anti-ship missiles, some of the ships had been directly sunk, and the ships that were not sunk were also emitting thick smoke and flames, and the sailors were busy rescuing the wounded and repairing the damage, while the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the surface of the ships not only lacked shooters and ammunition, but even many of the firepower points had disappeared from the missile attack just now.

More importantly, the Japanese fleet was no longer able to form an effective anti-aircraft fire network, the battle formation of the entire fleet was disrupted, and the ships were unable to coordinate in order to evade or slow down or even lose power, and now they could only rely on the anti-aircraft fire of the hull to fight alone.

There was not much suspense in the ensuing battle, and the air defense protection on which the fleet relied for survival was lost, and the Japanese Navy's First Air Fleet was like a fish on a board, allowing the fighters of the Anjia Air Force to rejoice.

By 10 o'clock in the morning, as the Japanese land-based and carrier-based air forces that had attacked were routed by the main task force of the Anjia Army's Pacific Fleet, the third and fourth waves of carrier-based aircraft strike planes of the Anjia Navy, which had taken off from the aircraft carriers, rushed to the skies over the Japanese fleet.

Originally, the commander of the Japanese army, Admiral Yamaguchi Tabun, had the opportunity to escape in a lifeboat, but he insisted on living and dying with the flagship "Shinano" and sank into the Coral Sea along with the generals of the entire fleet headquarters.
