At 1:05, the Wudangshan suffered two aerial bombs on the port side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info In the next three minutes, the Wudang Mountain was hit one after another 23 aerial bombs. Fortunately, the Wudangshan aircraft carrier was relatively strong, and after receiving so many aerial bombs, it still did not suffer fatal damage. However, half of the island was blown up, Zeng Jitang was injured, and there were fires everywhere on the deck, with heavy casualties. The officers and men of the Imperial Chinese Navy were not afraid of danger, rushed into the fire to save their comrades, and tried all kinds of ways to put out the fire.

When the Wudangshan was attacked intensively, the aircraft carrier Jinping Mountain was hit by 11 aerial bombs, three of which accidentally hit the oil depot, causing a violent explosion. The hull cracked in many places, and the sea water poured into it violently, and the hull sank rapidly.

At 1:07, the aircraft carrier Jinping Mountain capsized, becoming the second converted aircraft carrier of the Imperial Chinese Navy to sink.

In the following five minutes, which the Imperial Chinese Navy called Black, 400 bombers of the 3rd and 4th BO bomber groups broke through the fleet anti-aircraft fire network of the Third Aircraft Carrier Battle Group at all costs and dropped aerial bombs on the aircraft carriers of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

Although the interceptor fighters and air defense warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy opened heavy fire and shot down most of the US bombers, more than 200 aerial bombs were still dropped, causing two aircraft carriers of the Third Aircraft Carrier Battle Group to be sunk on the spot, and the remaining six aircraft carriers were all severely damaged, and two battle cruisers, Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Wu of Jin, were slightly damaged, causing the entire Third Aircraft Carrier Battle Group to lose its combat effectiveness.

At 12 o'clock, the US bomber group completed the sneak attack mission. Rear Admiral Cardin, the chief plane, looked at the Imperial Chinese Navy aircraft carrier battle group below, and saw that two of the eight aircraft carriers had been sunk, and the other six had all been severely damaged, and he was afraid that they would not be able to repair them in a short time. ”

However, Major General Cardin was not too happy. Because when the sneak attack was over, he couldn't help but beat his feet when he counted the number of bombers left. It turned out that 632 of the 800 O-400 bombers of the US bomber group were shot down by the defense fighters of the Imperial Chinese Navy and the anti-aircraft fire of the fleet in just half an hour, and only 168 bombers successfully returned home, and all of them were wounded. It was only then that he recalled the scene when he had broken through the anti-aircraft fire network of the Imperial Chinese Navy fleet at any cost, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought of the Aegis air defense cruisers of the Imperial Chinese Navy, whose anti-aircraft firepower was extremely perverted. This time it's the newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, but what about next time? Does he still have the courage to lunge? The answer was no, he shook his head suddenly, and he didn't dare to go near her anymore.

At the same time that the remnants of the US bomber group were returning, the bombing of the US military base by the Imperial Chinese Naval Air Force had been completed. At the cost of losing 241 fighters, the Chinese Imperial Naval Air Force shot down 1,156 US fighters and successfully covered the bomber group to bomb the headquarters, warehouses, oil depots, ammunition depots, docks, barracks, hospitals, and other important facilities of the Norfolk base. A large number of US military base facilities were damaged, thousands of casualties were inflicted on the bases, and even the US warships moored at the pier did not have the slightest sense of security, and many warships were damaged.

The hundreds of fighters dispatched by the Third Carrier Battle Group made great achievements in the skies over the Norfolk base, shooting down a large number of US planes, but they were taken aback when they happily flew back to the location of the Third Carrier Battle Group.

The sea was filled with gunsmoke, and the six unsunken aircraft carriers rose into the sky with billowing black smoke from their hulls after being heavily damaged. The Imperial sailors on the deck used high-pressure water cannons to extinguish the fire, and the engineers covered the blasted deck gun runway with pieces of steel plates, and were in the process of emergency repairs.

An air defense warship on guard on the perimeter even fired two shots at its own planes, and it was not until the two alert fighters confirmed that it was an Imperial plane, and then canceled the air defense preparations.

However, all aircraft carriers were badly damaged and could not dock their fighters and bombers for a short time. Fortunately, when the third aircraft carrier battle group was attacked by the US military, Zeng Jitang reported to the aircraft carrier fleet headquarters that Wang Jiancheng had already filmed the second aircraft carrier battle group to come to help, so that the combat planes of the third aircraft carrier battle group could fly to the reinforcement aircraft carrier and dock without falling into the sea due to running out of fuel.

Admiral Li Dingxin, commander of the Combined Fleet, has just finished praising Vice Admiral Wang Jiancheng, commander of the aircraft carrier battle group, saying that the naval air force has achieved the expected results in the air raid on the US Norfolk base, and that he believes that the main US fleet will be forced out in a few more times, so that all the officers and men of the aircraft carrier battle group can make persistent efforts.

As soon as Wang Jiancheng hung up the phone, he received Zeng Jitang's distress call, and after learning the news that a large number of US bombers had raided the third aircraft carrier battle group, Wang Jiancheng's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

"How can this be true? So so? An aircraft carrier battle group unexpectedly lost its combat effectiveness, and Lao Tzu's face was lost by Zeng Jitang! I'm going to remove him! ”

Looking at the losses reported by the third aircraft carrier battle group, Wang Jiancheng was furious.

"He's removed himself!"

Chief of Staff Feng Luxin sighed and said: "This time, the third aircraft carrier battle group suffered heavy losses in a surprise attack, but this is not Wang Jiancheng's fault, but he took a bad luck, and the US bomber group chose to attack him instead of the other three aircraft carrier battle groups. ”

Wang Jiancheng was very angry, and said angrily: "What bad luck? A defeat is a defeat, don't look for a reason! ”

Feng Luxin continued: "I have read Wang Jiancheng's report, and this time the US military suddenly dispatched thousands of bombers to carry out a surprise attack on our aircraft carrier battle group, and the other three aircraft carrier battle groups were also not spared. ”

Wang Jiancheng calmed down his anger slightly, frowned, and said, "What's the matter, where did the Americans get so many bombers?" ”

Feng Luxin added: "And according to the report, the US bombers were able to fly above the clouds and evade the detection of our perimeter alert warships, and our aircraft carrier battle group was 200 nautical miles away from the US coastline, and their bombers were able to fly over shows that this is not a previous US bomber, but a new bomber with a long range." ”

Wang Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's true!" I was also careless, thinking that it would be safe to put the fleet outside the attack range of the US bomber group, but I never thought that the US military would have more advanced fighters, and the number was very large. ”

Then Wang Jiancheng complained again: "Damn, what does the intelligence bureau do, why didn't it report to us that the US military already has more advanced bombers, and there are a huge number of them." ”

Feng Luxin sighed and said, "Maybe it's because of recent domestic events, right?" ”

Wang Jiancheng asked, "What happened in China?" ”

Feng Luxin explained: "Tan Sitong of the Supreme Procuratorate impeached Li Guodong, His Majesty ordered the investigation of all officials of the Intelligence Bureau, and I heard that many senior officials of the Intelligence Bureau were prosecuted, probably because of this reason, the information that should have been told to us was frozen by the Supreme Procuratorate. ”

"Damn it!" Wang Jiancheng slammed the table and said, "If you don't impeach sooner or later, you won't impeach sooner, but at this time, there will be infighting." Although I don't like the appearance of Li Guodong's gang showing off their might, but the empire has won every battle over the years, and it is inseparable from the accurate intelligence of their intelligence bureau, and it can be said that they have made great contributions and contributions. ”

"They make a fuss about theirs, and we beat ours!" Feng Luxin said: "This incident has not been reported, and before it is reported, we should save some face." ”

"That's right!" Wang Jiancheng immediately nodded in agreement.

Feng Luxin took the chart, pointed to a few positions on it, and said: "Our reconnaissance planes have discovered the route and location of the retreat of the US bomber group, which is currently located at the three airports of Newbotnius, Gloucester, and Elizabeth City. The reconnaissance planes reported that the number of this new type of bomber group of the US military is not too large, and more than half of them have been shot down by our troops in the attack just now, and there are less than 200 of them in the airfield. The U.S. military has concentrated its fighter jets on defending the Norfolk base, so there are not many escort fighters at these three airfields. If we quickly send fighter planes and bombers to attack here, as long as we destroy them in one fell swoop, the US military will not be able to threaten our navy again in a short time. If we can achieve this, we will at least get back one point in terms of the overall strategic situation, and the punishment imposed on us by the upper peak will not be too severe. ”

Wang Jiancheng nodded and said, "Although our losses are not small, the US bomber group has also paid a high price. If this threat can be defeated, then it is worth losing a few aircraft carriers. ”

Then Wang Jiancheng said ruthlessly: "If you dare to paralyze an aircraft carrier battle group of Lao Tzu, you have to pay ten times the price." ”

Therefore, Wang Jiancheng ordered 600 Hellfire carrier-based fighters to take off with ammunition and attack the US airfields in Islamabad City, Gloucester, and Newbotnius, in order to destroy the new bombers of the US army.

After the retaliatory attack plane group took off, Wang Jiancheng and Feng Luxin sat down to sum up the lessons of this battle.

The Chinese Empire has always won every battle in the war, winning brilliant victories one after another, which has greatly boosted morale, but it has also made the officers and soldiers of the empire more or less conceited mentality. Especially in the hearts of the Imperial Admirals, this conceit has become a bit untouchable.

In this case, the Imperial Chinese Navy was the first to taste the consequences of conceit. Since the tactics of the Chinese Empire's aircraft carrier battle groups have not yet matured, leading the development trend of the world's aircraft carriers is certainly worthy of the pride of the Imperial Navy, but it must also pay the necessary price for exploring new aviation tactics, and this price has already exploded in the Sino-US Battle of Bermuda, but it has not attracted the attention of the Imperial Navy.

As early as the Battle of Bermuda, the Chinese and US navies used aircraft carriers for the first time to engage in combat, and the combat planes used tactics were all sent out in one go, but as a result, the aircraft carriers themselves failed to pay attention to their own safety and were severely damaged by enemy planes. In the early stage of the decisive battle between the Chinese and American navies in the Atlantic, the Imperial Chinese Navy had only learned the lessons of the Battle of Bermuda to a limited extent, but it was not profound. After the air sorties attack the group, it is no longer a group of sorties, but each aircraft carrier leaves five to ten fighters as a defense.

Originally, according to the assessment report of the Imperial Chinese Navy, these fighters were enough to protect the safety of aircraft carriers, and the Imperial Navy had too high expectations for the air defense capabilities of the Typhoon-class Chinese Aegis air defense cruisers, believing that the protection of the aircraft carrier battle group would be impregnable, so it was a disaster.

Although the commanders of the Chinese Emperor have made mistakes, it is fortunate that under the leadership of Wang Chenhao, the emperors and officials have developed the habit of meeting immediately after the battle to summarize the experience of victory and the lessons of defeat.

After this battle, the aircraft carrier tactics of the Imperial Chinese Navy will be more perfect.

At the same time, the US Navy's top brass also held an emergency meeting, although this time the US bomber group unexpectedly and severely damaged an aircraft carrier battle group of the Imperial Chinese Navy. However, according to the report of Rear Admiral Cardin after his return, in addition to the aircraft carriers on the direct deck on the previous intelligence, the aircraft carrier battle group of the Chinese Imperial Navy also has a very large aircraft carrier, which can take off and land a large number of aircraft at the same time, while the aircraft carriers of the US Navy do not have this capability. In addition, Rear Admiral Cardin hyped up the air defense cruisers of the Imperial Chinese Navy, saying that the firepower of such air defense cruisers was abnormally perverted, and most of the US bombers that attacked this time were shot down by modified cruisers, which was simply an insurmountable anti-aircraft fire net. If it were not for the large number of US bombers this time, and finally managed to break through when the opponent's air defense weapon system replaced the ammunition box, then the consequences would be unimaginable, and the US bombers might not be able to break through the anti-aircraft fire network of the Chinese Imperial Navy at all.

Major General Cardin did not want to go on a raid mission anymore, so his statement was somewhat exaggerated. After reading Cardin's report, Benson and other high-ranking naval officials were very nervous, and on the one hand, they ordered the intelligence department to focus on investigating the Aegis air defense cruiser of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and on the other hand, they were also distressed by the large number of new bombers lost in this raid.

The U.S. Navy believes that although the operation severely damaged an aircraft carrier battle group of the Imperial Chinese Navy, the bomber losses were too great. The new O400 bomber was built much slower than the original O100 bomber, and it took a long time to lose one to be replaced. In the face of the current tactical goal of the Chinese Emperor ** to fight a quick battle, what the US military is asking for is delaying time, not this kind of crushing victory
