Chapter 194: The Battle of the Arabian Sea 5
(There are still two changes a day during the holidays, or one change is more than 4,000 words.) I asked for favorites, and I clicked on the recommendation. )
Li Guang seemed calm, but his hands leaked the tension in his heart. His hands clasped tightly on the iron window of the bridge, his muscles burst into the building, and his knuckles turned white.
5:30 p.m.
Suddenly there was an exclamation on the radio: "Planes, devil planes, ...... fleets"
The crisis of the situation can be heard from the pilot's report.
Without waiting for the pilot to report the news again, gunfire was already heard on the radio, and then there was silence on the radio again.
In the bridge, there was silence, and the battle had just begun, and the Naval Resistance Army lost two water reconnaissance planes and four pilots.
The staff officers were not slow to move, and soon found the reconnaissance position of this water reconnaissance plane - and the 1318 area of the adjacent sea area of the 1317 sea area where the submarine was found, that is, within fifty kilometers of the distance.
This maritime reconnaissance plane of the Maritime Resistance Army discovered the Japanese aircraft carrier, and at this time, the Japanese fighter plane had already taken off, and it was besieged by six Japanese carrier-based planes that had just taken off. The performance gap between the fighters was huge, the number was at an absolute disadvantage, and the pilots' skills were not superb enough, so they were shot down almost without being able to resist this water reconnaissance plane.
A line is drawn between the two points, and along this line is the location of the most likely Japanese aircraft carrier.
But what does the fleet that the pilot found mean?
The devil must have been tracking down the overlord and Jairus. Li Guang guessed, or perhaps intuitively, that the Japanese aircraft carriers were all dispatched -- the target was the battleship Pacific.
At this moment, Li Guang issued an order related to success or failure. And this command is only based on intuition.
Twelve bombers, twelve fighters, flew non-stop to the 1318 sea zone, found and destroyed the Japanese aircraft carriers.
The remaining twelve fighters, throwing away their bombs, quickly reinforced the battleship Pacific with light equipment, and once they arrived, they immediately seized the high altitude and prepared to meet it.
It is taboo to divide troops on the battlefield, especially before you know the strength of your opponent.
Although Li Guang believed that the Japanese army would not be just an aircraft carrier, he did not know exactly how many warships were dispatched. I don't know which Japanese aircraft carrier it is, I don't know how many planes there are on it, and I don't know what the size of the fleet reported by the pilots of the reconnaissance planes.
At this moment, Li Guang was like a god of war possessed, and there was no hesitation when giving orders.
No matter how many plans the staff has, no matter how many exercises there are, the real war will feel completely different. Li Guang did not think about life and death, but gambled with extraordinary courage.
There is not enough intelligence, and it is too difficult for generals to make ideal responses.
Li Guang gave the order, and it was not entirely based on intuition. He had no way of knowing what aircraft carrier the devil had dispatched, if it was a heavy aircraft carrier such as the Akagi, there would be sixty fighters.
I don't know who he is, but Li Guang is a confidant. Of the 24 fighters of the Naval Resistance Force, only 12 fighter pilots have air combat capabilities, and the so-called air combat capabilities are about the same level as Li Guang's own level, which really cannot be called superb.
The other twelve fighters, in fact, are a bit level in addition to dive, bombing and strafing, and their air combat capabilities are better, but they are not elite in Li Guang's eyes.
In this case, Li Guang did not hesitate to choose the tactics of mutual blinding. Or Tian Ji horse racing tactics.
Ci is not in charge of the army, and Li Guang's understanding of this word only stays in military discipline. Now that the Great War has begun, he understands more profoundly. His decision not only put his subordinates and eyes on the enemy's fighters, but also put the Pacific in a dangerous situation, and more importantly, put the pilots of the twelve rookie fighters in the situation of consumables.
It will be difficult, and it will be difficult. Sharing weal and woe with the soldiers is only the foundation, and for the sake of victory, he ruthlessly puts his robe in danger, and ruthlessly puts himself in danger. This choice is simply an ordeal for Li Guang's soul. The pain and hardship are known only to oneself.
Twelve of the most rookie fighters were responsible for air interception over the fleet, while twelve old birds and twelve bombers did their best to take out the Japanese aircraft carriers.
Giving an order is like a gambling bet out of hand. Li Guang only felt that his mental strength was drained at this moment. The success of this gamble depends on whether the Japanese aircraft carriers can be discovered and whether the Pacific can withstand the indiscriminate bombing of Japanese fighters.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, 12 fighters of the Naval Resistance Force arrived over the Pacific. Follow the order to climb to high altitude and stand by.
These twelve fighters, it is not accurate to say that they are all rookies, there is one and only old bird in this. Tu Yuanchao, he is the squad leader who has just been appointed.
"Japanese aircraft group, arrive in ten minutes." Message came from the battleship.
In fact, it was the overlord and Jairus who were behind the home team that sounded the alarm.
Baxia and Jairus are only thirty kilometers away from the main team of the Naval Resistance Army, and without radar at such a distance, it is difficult for battleships to find the devil's plane, but the devil's plane can easily spot the battleship in such good weather conditions.
The devil pilots discovered the battleship and shouted in ecstasy, "The first credit for killing the battleship of China will be the work of our air force, quack." ”。
The devil's fighters immediately divided into two teams, leaving two torpedo planes and four bombers to deal with Baxia and Jairus. The home team immediately flew straight over the battleship.
Li Guang's most advocated tactic was to use the air power of aircraft carriers to deal with the opponent's main warships, but he did not expect that the Japanese devils, who did not attach importance to aircraft carriers, would actually resort to this trick first.
This was the first naval air battle of the Navy Resistance Air Force. The battle was first initiated by the Naval Resistance Air Force Tu Long-Range Squad.
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
When the devil's plane group arrived, they were grouped at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, and they did not find any fighters of the Naval Resistance Army at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters.
Little Japan has a characteristic, the good thing to say is to be economical, and the bad thing to say is to slam the door. The devil's tactics are like this:
First five fighters formed at high altitudes, and then they rushed down and bombed. There is only one reason, the fighter is not flexible in fighting with bombs, but the little devils are reluctant to throw precious bombs into the sea.
After the bombing, the fighters rose into the air to protect the bomber torpedo machines.
Then bombers and torpedo planes began to strike at targets.
This order would not have been wrong, of course, when the opponent did not have an aircraft.
However, when the opponent has a fighter and is still on guard, it is extremely wrong.
The air force squad of the Naval Resistance Force has long been prepared at high altitude. Since Tu Yuan's subordinates are all rookies, they can't even do a good job in formation. There is no way to talk about grouping tactics.
However, the fighters of the Maritime Resistance Army had a great advantage when the battle broke out, and the fighters threw precious bombs into the sea early. Now it's completely light.
Since the rookies can't form a formation, Tu Yuan gave an order to a rookie in the public channel: "Learn from me." ”
There is no way, the rookie has already worked hard, but including his own wingmen are flying in the sky. He could only give such an order. And this is also the specialty of the pilots of the Maritime Resistance Army, whether they are rookies or veterans.
As soon as the nose of Tu Yuanyuan's nose was lowered, he rushed down at the Japanese fighters that were being formed.
The P40 fuselage is heavy, and it can reach a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour when it dives for two kilometers without opening the speed brake. The fighter planes let out a sharp howl at speeds of more than six hundred kilometers, and the sound was thrilling to the ears.
Tu Yuanyuan spotted a Japanese Type 96 fighter, and the fighter quickly inserted it from behind the devil. By the way, Tu Yuanyuan is a lover of close-range shooting.
The dive speed was so fast that when the P40 appeared in the field of view of the other Japanese pilots, the fighter was already less than a hundred meters close to the prey.
It's literally impacting.
In the exclamation of the Japanese pilots, Tu Yuan opened fire. TWO 20MM CANNONS AND FOUR 12.7MM MACHINE GUNS BURST INTO SEVERAL TONGUES OF FIRE AT THE SAME TIME.
A short point shot, the little devil pilot did not react at all, and a ninety-six fighter was immediately turned into a fireball.
