Modern elite troops generally undergo long hours of rigorous training, because they are, after all, a professional army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoEspecially for pilots, a high-level military branch has more stringent training requirements. The work of these professional soldiers who have been out of production for many years is training, and there is no obvious gap in their technical level.

Once they really set foot on the battlefield, the main reason that can affect the results of the officers and men is their morale, that is, the spirit of brave fighting.

Many officers and men are able to display a very high level of technical and tactical skills in daily training, but after they go to the battlefield, their performance is average or even very bad. The main reason is that their mentality is unstable, which makes them unable to perform at the level they should have on the battlefield between life and death that is changing rapidly.

It's like your hands are shaking uncontrollably when you pull the trigger, how can you aim when you can't hold the gun steadily? Where else will there be any good results?

This kind of thing is except for a very few people who are born with big hearts. There is only one way to solve it, and that is experience. If you participate in more battles and survive to become a veteran, you will naturally have to play better than the recruits. In fact, both new recruits and veterans are almost the same in terms of skills and tactics, as long as they have received long-term training. The only difference is the mentality, which can be compensated for by experience.

Compared with the U.S. Navy, the officers and men of the Ming Navy, who had been fighting fiercely with the Japanese for two years, were naturally much more experienced. They fought many fierce battles with the Japanese navy and ended in victory, and in addition to boosting morale, they also preserved a large number of excellent officers and men with war experience. The most important of these are the brave pilots. And Wu Hao is one of the best.

Wu Hao has participated in many large-scale naval battles, but he has never seen so many air defense fighters. When he broke through the U.S. defenses before, he felt that the sky was full. Everywhere you look, there are warplanes flying back and forth and long chains of bullets mixed with tracer bullets flying wildly.

The elite Daming Navy, which suffered heavy losses in this assault, can even be said to have never lost so many fighters in an air battle. The loss of dozens or hundreds of fighters means the loss of hundreds of pilots!

Daming has an airplane, and he doesn't feel distressed about how much he loses. The Ming reserves were sufficient, and the lost pilots could be replenished quickly. But the pilots with a lot of combat experience could not be replaced. Not to mention that those pilots are basically Wu Hao's comrades-in-arms.

Wu Hao was furious when he saw his comrades-in-arms who chatted and farted together, smoked, drank, played cards and played money in the past and fell into the sea, and even a whole corpse could not be left.

"Closer, closer!" Completely ignoring the anti-aircraft shells that exploded around his fighter, Wu Hao, whose eyes were red, used his super control ability to hold the operating stick in his hand. There was nothing else in his eyes, only the flight deck that was getting closer and closer in front of his sights, which was getting bigger and bigger.

The Wasp on the surface of the sea seemed to sense that its limit was approaching, and the thick black smoke rising from the chimney increased its speed to the extreme. All kinds of anti-aircraft artillery were desperately pouring shells into the sky, and the barrels of many guns had been reddened by the ultra-high rate of fire.

The Wasp resembles a giant whale desperately writhing its massive volume of more than 10,000 tons on the surface of the sea, trying to avoid the attack of flamingos falling from the sky. Even because the turn was too fast, several fighters placed on the flight deck ready to take off were thrown out and fell into the sea. These propellers have been activated, and the pilots on the fighter planes that are ready to take off do not even have a chance to go into the sky.

One general is incompetent and exhausted, and the three armies say that this is the current situation of the Americans.

The huge pressure brought by the high-speed dive made Wu Hao feel that his vision had begun to blur, but he didn't care. The pointer on the altimeter had already crossed the 800-meter bomb line, but Wu Hao had no intention of dropping the bomb at all. He knew that the target in front of him was a little small, and he was still turning at full speed. If you drop a bomb too early, you will most likely miss it.

A dive bomber only has one chance to drop a bomb, and Wu Hao is not willing to waste it. Because he is likely to have only one chance to attack and drop bombs in a whole naval battle. This is a revenge, a revenge attack for those comrades who were shot down.

Finally, when the altimeter needle crossed five hundred meters and rapidly approached four hundred meters. Wu Hao, who suddenly froze in his mind, pulled away the bomb dropper, and then he felt that his fighter suddenly lightened, and then he stiffly pulled the operating stick to change his fighter to fly out!

When Wu Hao dropped the bomb, the three dive bombers following him also quickly completed the bomb dropping and flying. These pilots are veterans, experienced, and daring. It was only when they were in the position that they felt most advantageous that they dropped the bombs.

Five hundred kilograms, half a ton! Not to mention bombs, even a half-ton lump of iron can fall from the sky and smash into a large hole on the ship, not to mention that it contains high explosives.

Wu Hao's precise bomb hit the middle of the Wasp's deck very accurately. Penetrated the flight deck of the USS Wasp near the island, falling into the hangar and exploding.

The bomb exploded very close to the bridge, and the enormous force hit the American officers and men on the bridge. Including Captain John. Several of the command staff, including Colonel Wilcox, were either killed or wounded, and the Wasp lost its command ability in an instant.

Immediately after, two more armor-piercing shells hit the hapless Wasp. And left a huge wound in the tail of the flight deck of the Wasp, and at the same time ignited a raging fire.

The last bomb landed on the starboard side of the Wasp, just 30 meters out of the sea. The massive water pressure generated by the explosion severely damaged the bilge's bilge.

The Wasp had little armor to speak of. The bilge was squeezed by the water pressure and then quickly cracked up, causing a large amount of water to enter the boiler compartment, which was located in the bilge, which soon stalled due to water ingress. At the same time, the flames ignited by the three bombs that had been hit earlier also detonated the fighters in the hangar that were about to take off. At that time, these fighters were filled with fuel and loaded with bombs and torpedoes.

Although these weapons are insured, they simply cannot last long in the face of the high temperatures caused by oil. By the time the chief engineer took over the command, the ship had already begun to detonate continuously. Not only did the entire battleship tilt to the right, but the entire superstructure was almost completely destroyed, and thick smoke billowed up hundreds of meters into the blue sky!

"Good!" Looking at the aircraft carrier that was burning violently on the sea below, Wu Hao pursed his lips and waved his arms. The first result was achieved.

The U.S. Navy has been equipped with a large number of close-to-fire fuse shells, and this anti-aircraft weapon is very powerful. However, the quality of the Ming fighters is extremely high, thanks to the powerful engine and steam catapult technology, basically all the fighters are installed with thick armor. In addition, the pilots of Daming Hainan Airlines are bold and meticulous and experienced. After breaking into the air defense circle of task force 59, it put great pressure on the Americans.

"The formations attacked the two aircraft carriers that were close to the periphery." After observing the situation on the battlefield, Wu Hao quickly made a new order: "Attack their outer air defense warships and open the passage forward." ”

The air defense formation of the 59th task force is like a lotus flower layered on top of each other, with aircraft carriers in the core area and layers of air defense warships on the outside. These air defense warships all have a large number of anti-aircraft weapons on board, and if the fighters of the Daming Naval Airlines want to break through their interception and directly kill the aircraft carrier in the core area, they will have to pay a heavy price.

If it was peacetime, Wu Hao would naturally attack the aircraft carrier regardless of the losses, because attacking the enemy's aircraft carrier first is the basic common sense of a sea and air war.

However, as the commander, Wu Hao knew that not far behind him was the powerful second attack wave group approaching. Now that the Americans were no longer able to continue to send attack formations, Wu Hao considered destroying the Americans' defenses first and creating good conditions for the second attack wave of aircraft.

Previously, Task Force 59 had released attack aircraft groups that caused the carriers to leave the core area. When they returned to the center of the formation, a large number of Ming fighters had already been killed. The Wasp, which was the slowest in its vessel, fell behind and was quickly damaged, in addition to two aircraft carriers that did not have time to return to the core of the anti-aircraft fire circle. This made them the target of Wu Hao's attack.

Wu Hao's strength in his hands is not too strong, and it is impossible to attack all the aircraft carriers at the same time. And the Americans also had strong defenses, and he made the right choice.

The heavy cruiser CA36 Minneapolis, located only half a nautical mile away on the starboard side of the Wasp, was the command ship of a nearby air defense circle, and one light cruiser and four destroyers around it were under his command.

When the attack aircraft group of the Ming Naval Airlines attacked the Wasp and other warships, the warships of this air defense circle had shot down six Ming fighters, four of which were shot down by the Minneapolis, which had extremely fierce anti-aircraft fire.

Being on the periphery of the anti-aircraft fire circle, and behaving so bravely, the Minneapolis naturally became the focus of the attack.

The four dive bombers quickly roared down from the sky, attracting the Minneapolis' main attention. At the same time, six torpedo attack aircraft quietly lowered their altitude and flew over the sea.

The Minneapolis, who didn't know that a catastrophe was coming, was still shouting and beckoning the nearby warships to approach the USS Wasp while defending their air defense, ready for rescue. But they don't know that they have become the prey of being targeted.

Daming Hainan Airlines is very strong in terms of fighter quality and pilot technical ability and experience, don't look at only ten fighters to attack. But it was enough to deal a fatal blow to this heavy cruiser! (To be continued.) )
