Chapter 151, the confrontation between the United States and Japan
The fleet that sailed through the Bering Strait was completely unaware of what was going on, but even if they did, it was none of their business, as long as they reached the Kara Sea, they would have completed their mission. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The rest of the road was peaceful, and there was no trace of any enemy, not even the hairy bear's family.
"Be careful, don't hit the iceberg!" The commander-in-chief of the fleet informed the whole team that it was already the Arctic Ocean, and a lot of ice could be seen floating on the sea surface along the way.
There are few ships in the fleet of the hairy bear, the one in the Black Sea was destroyed by Germany, the one in Vladivostok was bombed by Japan, but there are still a few ships in the White Sea, but it is useless, and throughout World War II, the navy of the hairy bear is playing soy sauce.
Compared with Japan, the woolly bear is heavy on the army and light on the navy.
However, this is also related to their national conditions, after all, the territory of the woolly bear is so large that it needs a lot of army defense. Because the terrain is in the north, the sea area is frozen for half of the year, and there is no way to develop a navy, there are only three fleets, the White Sea Fleet, the Black Sea Fleet and the Far Eastern Fleet, the Far Eastern Fleet was bombed by the Japanese army in Vladivostok as early as Vladivostok, and the White Sea was bombed by the Germans because the Germans hit it, and the Black Sea was bombed by the Germans.
While the fleet was in the Arctic Ocean, a stronger wave of fighting broke out in the Bering Strait.
American planes found the Japanese aircraft carriers, and there were only two.
As soon as the Japanese aircraft carrier was discovered, the US planes frantically pounced on the Japanese aircraft carrier like sharks.
In the Pacific War, the Japanese army learned a lot of lessons, especially in air defense, and equipped the battleships with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, and spears were lined up like hedgehogs.
Immediately after discovering the US plane, they opened fire in the air.
"Boom~"
Occasionally, a plane was blown up in the air and turned into a fireball, and the pilot on it was killed before he could even parachute.
However, there were still planes that broke through the Japanese air defense blockade and dropped bombs and torpedoes on their aircraft carriers.
The Japanese army's air defense weapons are still very scum, the air cannon is only 20mm is loaded at a unit price, and the larger caliber is still loaded with a single shot, although the single-shot loading is slow, but it also has its benefits, how high the plane is, what kind of fuse is installed, to ensure that the shell explodes at that height, which has a great examination for the person who cuts the fuse.
"Boom~"
A Japanese aircraft carrier was hit on the deck by a heavy bomb, and the bomb fell directly from the center of the Hinomaru, painted on the bow of the ship, smashed into the second floor, and exploded on the second floor.
The explosion destroyed more than half of the planes in the hangar, and the deck was blown out of a huge hole because of the explosion, and a fire ignited, and it was impossible to take off and land planes for a while.
Thirteen nautical miles away from this aircraft carrier is another Japanese aircraft carrier, which was rebuilt from the original No. 3 Yamato, which is huge and a good target, but it is relatively far behind, and there is a cruiser full of empty guns in the middle, and the US planes have not been in trouble with it for the time being.
The aircraft carrier in front was devastated by the American forces, and after being hit by two torpedoes, it was lucky that one shot did not blow up, and even then, the other shot caused it to enter the water on its side, the hull tilted, and with the fire on the deck, it was impossible to take off and land planes at all, except for anti-aircraft weapons, it was almost useless.
This broken aircraft carrier ran slowly to the rear at a speed of 3 knots, wanting to leave the battlefield, but how could the US military let them run like this? Continue to chase and fight.
The Japanese pilots were not stupid, and tried their best to intercept the US bombers and prevent the other side from getting close to the aircraft carrier.
In the skies above the fleet, the two sides fought very fiercely, and on the whole, the strength of the two sides was about the same, and the US planes were still dominated by F2F Bison, while the Japanese planes were stronger, but the US planes were slightly more.
The bombers threw all the bombs and torpedoes and began to return home, and the fighters were responsible for covering the bombers' retreat, and the air battle was over.
As the defensive side, the Japanese suffered more serious losses, several cruisers were bombed and sunk, and one aircraft carrier was destroyed.
But on the whole, it was the U.S. military that suffered a big loss, and it was good that few ships of the fleet in the Bering Strait were bombed by the Japanese, and as the commander of the fleet, Wilson estimated that he would step down.
This poor baby, he will be out of class in a few days after he comes to power, Jin doesn't want to plate, this time in the face of the bombing of the Japanese army, it is his luck to survive.
North Africa!
The battle of Marut greatly damaged the vitality of the German army, lost the face of the desert fox, made Rommel very uneasy, and the mustache in Berlin was also very angry. Of course, he didn't lose because of Rommel, but because Lu Qiang was against him, but he was also looking for death, so why should he send someone to assassinate Lu Qiang.
After the First World War of Marut, the Sixth Army was reorganized, after all, these are all veterans who have been baptized by war, and the new Seventh Army changed guards with them, and was still stationed in Marut, and did not attack, because Montgomery did not let them attack.
Originally, Marut made the Allies lose face in the first battle, they were beaten by the German army, and the Sixth Army, which was not favored, was on a par with Germany, and had the upper hand, which made the arrogant Montgomery how to stand it, he decided to take back a city, personally defeat Rommel, and drive the German-Italian army out of North Africa, in order to correct his name.
Since Montgomery was in a hurry to send people to his death, the Seventh Army was happy to let the soldiers get acquainted with the environment in North Africa first.
Although there was a pause in the clashes on the ground, there was no rest in the sky, and the newly transported planes went to the skies over the Germans every day, mainly P-51 Mustangs, and occasionally the fifth master also played.
There are not many five masters transported to North Africa, but there are a lot of wild horses. As a multi-functional aircraft, the Mustang can be competent for all kinds of work, air interception, ground attack, air-dropped bombs, high-altitude reconnaissance, and also has thick skin, simple operation, take-off and landing requirements, as long as it is flat ground, suitable for forced landing.
The most important thing is that there is no concrete airport in North Africa, and the hard dirt runway is not suitable for the five masters, but for the wild horses, it is not a big deal, which is why the wild horses are the main reason.
After the First World War in Marut, the Germans licked their wounds, and Rommel transferred a large number of tanks from Germany, including a small number of King Tigers, mainly for 59, as for the Anglo-American tanks, the Germans did not pay attention to them.
The British army is still a large number of Crusader tanks, and the U.S. army is still mainly M44, but it has been slowly replaced with M46, and now M46 still uses 90mm anti-tank guns, and the armor has not been strengthened except for the front of the turret.
The U.S. military is also generous, putting 100 vehicles in North Africa for actual combat experiments, and according to the results of the experiments, they will be improved. (To be continued.) )
