readx; According to this, when the U.S. Navy confronts the Zero, whether it is the early F4F, F6F or F4U, their pilots must follow three rules, the first is not to maneuver with the Zero at low altitudes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the second is not to violate the first article, and the third is to never violate the third article.

Although the Zero was beaten by F6F and F4U like a reservoir dog in the later stages of the war, no one would ignore Zero's low-altitude horizontal maneuverability.

This situation is also paid attention to by the Chinese Navy, although the Chinese Navy has not had formal combat experience with the Zero War, but the Chinese Navy has the F4 ah, in fact, it is more strict, the original purpose of research and development against the F4 is the extreme copy version of the F4 fighter, giving up part of the firepower and protection of the F4 fighter, increasing the low-altitude combat surname can try to fight against the F4 fighter.

When the Zero and F4 fought against each other, the Americans' F4U and F6F didn't know where they were!

Because the F4 fighter and the Zero have a lot in common, the Chinese Navy treats the F4 fighter as a Zero when it is training, and finds that it is extremely irrational to fight against the Zero or the F4 fighter at low altitude. Although the F8 fighter can be advanced, it still cannot occupy too much advantage in low-altitude maneuvering. But on the other hand, the F8 fighter is not too good in the middle and high altitude surname, but it has played a major role in the fight against F4 and Zero.

Speaking of which, the F8 fighter is actually a relatively mediocre fighter, and it does not attach as much importance to low-altitude maneuverability as the F4 or Zero, nor does it attach great importance to large range and high-altitude capabilities like the F5 or P51. The medium-altitude surname of the F8 fighter can not be compared with the F5, and the low-altitude surname can be the same as the F4 fighter at most, and the range is only a decent 1,800 kilometers, and the bomb load is not high, so it is not suitable for modification to carry out bombing missions at all.

But saying that he is moderate just shows that he does not focus on one aspect extremely, but maintains a first-class level in all aspects, and these add up to make the F8 fighter not weak in all fields, if there is no advantage at low altitude, then go to high altitude, and then if it doesn't work, come to a dive with high-speed detachment.

Nowadays, too, the intercepted F8G fighter pilots did not go down to low altitude and fight for low-altitude maneuvering, but used high-speed dive to engage strafing after approaching, and then climbed, and then repeated dive strafing and climbing.

In this case, the Zero below will either be passively beaten, or it will climb harder than the F8G fighter than the medium and high altitude maneuver. Although the medium and high altitude combat of the F8G is not as perverted as the F5, it is not a fighter that can be compared with the Zero Combat or the F4 fighter, otherwise the Chinese Navy would not have replaced the F4 with the F8.

In front of the fleet, the Zero and F8G of the two sides were engaged in a dogfight, while the bomber group of the Chinese Navy continued to gallop forward after the Chinese Navy's air defense fighters were entangled.

They wanted to break through the interception of the Chinese aircraft group, break through the air defense interception of the fleet directly under the 2nd Mobile Fleet, and then go straight to the three aircraft carriers of the 21st Division.

However, Lu Jian could not let them pass easily, and the ships of the fleet directly under the Second Mobile Fleet deployed a large air defense net to attack the bomber group that was trying to get closer.

A large number of 5-inch and 40-caliber secondary guns on the two battleships and a large number of 5-inch and 40-fold main guns on the destroyers opened fire one after another, and the radio proximity fuse bombs they fired exploded one after another in the local group, and the huge anti-aircraft shells exploded one after another, and each explosion was close to the side of the plane, although it was not able to hit directly, but a large number of shrapnel spread out in the air to form a huge barrage.

Soon, before the fighters of both sides could shoot down the first plane, one of the bombers of Ben Tianshan had already been hit, and then it fell towards the sea with billowing smoke!

Soon, the second bomber was hit again, and this bomber group did not fall towards the sea for the first time after being hit, and the injured bomber staggered towards the Yandi under the control of the pilot, and it did not even drop the bomb, but just launched a suicide attack on the Yandi with the bomb.

As it got closer and closer, a large number of 40-millimeter automatic anti-aircraft guns of the Yandi also aimed their fire at it, and a large number of 40-millimeter anti-aircraft guns fired in unison, forming a dense barrage in the air.

Almost instantly, several 40-millimeter anti-aircraft shells hit it, directly hitting it in the air and exploding!

"Good! Just hit it like that! I'm going to see how many planes they have for us to fight! "The gunnery staff officer of an anti-aircraft gun looked at the plane that exploded in the sky, and smiled, not showing any nervousness in him.

While the combat readiness group and the fleet directly under the Second Mobile Fleet were carrying out air defense interception operations, the 21st Squadron also stopped the preparation of the third wave of attack aircraft and began to take off fighters nervously for air defense operations.

In just five minutes, more than 10 fighter planes had taken off from the three aircraft carriers, and at the same time, more fighters were being prepared to take off, and the 22nd Squadron also sent fighters to rush over, hoping to provide air cover for the 21st Squadron.

An air raid and air defense operation was launched in this vast sea, and the scale was no less than that of the air raid operation that occurred not long ago.

Although China's air defense firepower has been greatly enhanced by the existence of radar fire control and radio proximity fuse bombs, and the ability of interceptor fighters is also extremely superior, it has also endured tremendous air defense pressure in the face of an attack by a group of more than 60 planes in a short period of time.

Soon, the Yellow Emperor was hit by a bomb dropped by a dive bomber, and the huge power of the bomb directly hit the No. 2 main gun turret on the Yellow Emperor, even though it did not cause huge damage to the No. 2 turret, but still caused huge damage.

The attack on the fleet directly under the Second Mobile Fleet could only be regarded as small-scale, and more of them were called 'This bomber group directly passed through the sky directly over the fleet directly under the Second Mobile Fleet, and then went straight to the 21st Division.

At this time, the air defense fighters of the 21st Squadron had already climbed as fast as possible, and then flew towards this group of more than 20 bombers.

The battleship's anti-aircraft guns continued to fire, and the shells continued to explode in the air, forming a barrage that made people feel numb when they saw it, and all kinds of planes moved left and right to avoid the anti-aircraft fire below, and at the same time evaded the strafing of enemy fighters.

The confusion caused by the massive air raid by the enemy almost threw the direct fleet of the 2nd Mobile Fleet and the 21st Fleet into a state of confusion, and it was impossible to even maintain the completed formation.

The ships increased their maximum combat speed, carried out various maneuvers to dodge the torpedoes and aerial bombs dropped in the sky, and left a series of S-shaped tracks on the sea surface, while those missed aerial bombs exploded in the sea water, setting off huge water columns.

A near-miss bomb landed near the Fuxi, and then set off a high column of water, which also caused the Fuxi to shake violently, causing the officers and men who did not grasp the firm railing on the Fuxi to fall for a while.

"Report the loss!" On the Fuxi, Colonel An Yongbing frowned.

"The middle side of the starboard side of our ship has been squeezed to cause a certain deformation, and there are small cracks that have been poured into by seawater, but the cracks are not big and have been controlled at present!" Soon, a captain was reporting to Colonel Ernst & Young.

An Yongbing nodded: "Tell all anti-aircraft gun positions to pay attention and concentrate their firepower on the friendly aircraft carrier!" ”

An Yongbing knows very well what the mission of his Fuxi is, that is, to protect these three aircraft carriers with all his strength, even if it is for them to block torpedoes and bombs.

Although the Fuxi-class and Yangtze-class large cruisers were designed with an emphasis on artillery warfare, and when necessary, they could serve as the flagship of the cruiser fleet to participate in artillery battles on secondary fronts, but the core task of the large cruiser fleet was to protect aircraft carriers, especially to provide air defense cover.

On the other side, the Huashan was already under attack by several planes that had broken through the defense, and at this time the pilots of these carrier-based planes seemed to have red eyes, after all, who saw that their own fighters were constantly shot down, and the more than 20 planes that had broken through from the side of the fleet directly under the fleet had only seven or eight planes left, and if they could not achieve any more results, then this air raid would be doomed to failure.

These desperate pilots had no concern for their own safety and launched a suicide attack directly in their fighter planes. Although the Huashan had the air defense cover provided by several warships around it, and it was also equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft fire, it was also powerless in the face of the suicide attacks of the four fighters at the same time, and after shooting down three of them, one of the comet dive bombers directly crashed into the Huashan with its aerial bombs, and did not hit the deck position, but hit the ship island, and the violent explosion and fire rose in an instant. Almost the entire island of the Huashan was shrouded in the flames of the explosion.

"Huashan!!" An Yongbing looked at the fire from the nearby Huashan, and he clenched his fist with a worried look on his face!

At the same time as the Huashan was attacked, several planes launched an attack on the Songshan side, but these planes did not have such good luck, and two of them did not have the courage to launch a suicide attack, but hurriedly dropped bombs and then pulled up and broke away, and the two aerial bombs were dodged by the Songshan, and the other one was shot down.

The air attack launched by the carrier-based aircraft did not last long, and the entire process lasted less than 15 minutes from the engagement to the breakthrough of the aircraft to the attack over the 21st Squadron.

However, in this short period of 15 minutes, more than 30 of this fighter plane were shot down by F8G fighter planes, and more than 20 were shot down by the anti-aircraft fire of various ships, leaving only more than 10 planes.

"The Yellow Emperor and Fuxi were slightly injured, the current fire of the Huashan has been controlled, but the entire ship island has been almost destroyed, and Colonel Qin and dozens of officers on the Huashan have been martyred!"

Rear Chief of Staff Lin Yonghai, Chief of Staff of the Second Mobile Fleet, continued: "In addition, the Zusha and Fudan have been severely damaged, and the Fudan has lost its combat effectiveness, and due to a large amount of water ingress, the current speed has dropped to less than twenty-five knots!" In addition, the Zijia was sunk, hundreds of officers and men on the ship were killed and wounded, and the rest of the ships have fallen into the water and the crew has been searched and rescued! ”
