Chapter 832: Preemptive Air Strike
At about 10 o'clock in the morning of November 27, 1360, on the blue sea, the three reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy were sailing westward, this attack group composed of three reinforced aircraft carrier formations, the aircraft carriers alone included 3 large aircraft carriers, 6 small aircraft carriers and 12 escort aircraft carriers, each of which included 1 large aircraft carrier, 2 small aircraft carriers and 4 escort aircraft carriers.

In addition, each reinforced aircraft carrier group of the Lombalou Imperial Navy also has 2 missile battleships, 2 missile battle cruisers, 4 missile cruisers, 8 missile destroyers, 8 missile frigates and 6 submarines.
The reinforced aircraft carrier formation of the Lombalou Imperial Navy is not a regular configuration of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, but is specially formed to deal with the Chu fleet that appeared along the coast of Lichun Province, and the top level of the Lombalou Empire believes that the attack group composed of three reinforced aircraft carrier formations is enough to destroy the Chu fleet that suddenly appeared, and control the sea control over the coastal waters of Lichun Province in the hands of the Lombalou Empire.
I can't complain that the high-level of the Lombarou Empire is so confident, the strength of these three strengthened aircraft carrier formations is already beyond the navy of the vast majority of countries on the Blue Water Planet, and even if the main force of the Kas Kingdom Navy and the main force of the Merlin Kingdom Navy are all combined, the three strengthened aircraft carrier formations will also have the power to fight.
The navy of the Kingdom of Kas has 7 aircraft carriers, but only 2 of these 7 aircraft carriers are large aircraft carriers, and the other 5 are small aircraft carriers that can only carry more than 30 carrier-based aircraft, while only 3 of the 10 aircraft carriers owned by the Merlin Kingdom Navy are large aircraft carriers, and the remaining 7 are small aircraft carriers.
The aircraft carriers of the navies of the countries of the Blue Water Planet are generally called large aircraft carriers only if they have more than 80 carrier-based aircraft, such as the large aircraft carriers of the Kas Kingdom and the large aircraft carriers of the Merlin Kingdom, which do not carry more than 90 carrier-based aircraft, but the large aircraft carriers of the Lombalou Imperial Navy carry more than 100 carrier-based aircraft.
At present, the three reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy are only about less than 300 nautical miles away from the Dongjiang port in Lichun Province, and the distance is much shorter if you count the straight-line distance.
In the bridge of the large aircraft carrier of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, the commander-in-chief of the three reinforced aircraft carrier formations, Yorufur, had a relaxed expression on his face, although the sixth aircraft carrier formation of the Lombalou Imperial Navy was defeated by the Chu fleet that suddenly appeared, and the sixth aircraft carrier formation also ended up in a complete annihilation, but Yorufur did not feel that there was anything arduous about this mission.
In this attack on the Chu fleet, in addition to the three reinforced aircraft carrier formations as the main force, the air force of the Lombalou Empire will also draw a certain number of fighters to cooperate with the three reinforced aircraft carrier formations to fight.
Yorufer turned his head to the captain of the Minberville next to him, Bolenkaya, and said with a smile: "How far are we from the Dongjiang port in Lichun Province now?" β
Captain Borenkaya said: "Your Excellency, there are only 292 nautical miles left, and the Dongjiang port is already within the attack range of our carrier-based aircraft, should you order the carrier-based aircraft to take off now?" β
Yorufer waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the distance can be narrowed closer, it is best to lure out the Chu fleet, we will annihilate them at sea in a dignified manner, and avenge the death of the Imperial Navy officers and men of the Sixth Aircraft Carrier Formation!" By the way, is there a problem with the Air Force? β
Captain Borenkaya immediately replied: "The Air Force has dispatched three aircraft wings to listen to the orders of His Excellency the Commander at any time. β
Each aircraft wing of the Lombalou Imperial Air Force has five fighter squadrons, adding up to 180 fighters alone, and 540 fighters in three aircraft wings.
The commander-in-chief, Yorufer, nodded with satisfaction and said: "This time we are fighting rabbits with tigers, and there must be no mistakes, and according to the order of the Imperial Admiralty, we don't need the prisoners of the Chu fleet this time, I heard that this is an order from His Majesty the Emperor himself." β
The captain of the large aircraft carrier MΓΌnberville, Bolenkaya, said with a smile: "I believe that we will not have any accidents this time, after annihilating this Chu fleet, our navy should confront the main naval force of the Kas Kingdom and the main naval force of the Merlin Kingdom!" β
Just when Yorufur, the commander-in-chief of the three reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, was talking and laughing with Bolenkaya, the captain of the large aircraft carrier Minberville, suddenly the signal soldier in the bridge of the Minberville shouted: "Your Excellency Commander, Captain, the AWACS aircraft has sent an alarm, and there are a large number of planes in the direction of Dongjiang Port, which are flying towards our aircraft carrier formation quickly!" And the number is so large that it is impossible to count! β
The words of the communication soldier made Yorufer and Bolenkaya's conversation and laughter suddenly stopped, and the brows of the two people wrinkled suddenly, they didn't expect the Chu army to react so quickly, and it was able to send a large number of fighters to launch an air attack on the three reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, but Yorufur and Bolenkaya did not show any panic.
"Immediately sound the air defense alarm! Order the carrier-based aircraft of each aircraft carrier to attack the squadron and immediately begin to take off! Order the electronic attack squadrons of each aircraft carrier to take to the skies! Helicopter squadrons take to the skies! AWACS aircraft all lifted into the sky! Prepare to intercept the planes of the Chu people in the direction of the Dongjiang port! This is not a drill! The big war is about to begin! "The commander-in-chief of the three reinforced aircraft carrier formations, Yorufer, gave combat orders in an orderly manner.
Then Yorufer said to Bolenkaya: "I didn't expect that this would lead out all the planes of the Chu people, which just saved us a lot of trouble." β
Bolenkaya nodded and said, "If we can wipe out the planes of the Chu people, then the remaining Chu fleet will not be the last threat to us." β
Soon, the three reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombal Imperial Navy on the sea, and dozens of warships all sounded the air defense alarm, and the piercing sirens suddenly broke the calm of the sea, and dozens of Lombalou Imperial warships immediately turned into air defense formations in the alarm, and the carrier-based aircraft of three large aircraft carriers, six small aircraft carriers, and 12 escort aircraft carriers, one after another, took off, formed a formation in the air, and greeted the direction of Dongjiang Port.
The three large aircraft carriers of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, the Minberville, the Vikasha and the Vyachek, are all the same aircraft carrier, with a full load displacement of 89,000 tons, carrying 48 fourth-generation fighters, 60 third-generation fighters, 2 early warning aircraft, 2 electronic attack aircraft and 4 multi-functional helicopter gunships, which are also the same as the Wolf Warrior, which sank in the sixth aircraft carrier formation of the Lombaloan Imperial Navy.
6 small aircraft carriers are also of the same type, with a full load displacement of 32,000 tons, carrying 32 third-generation fighters, 1 early warning aircraft, 1 electronic attack aircraft and 2 multi-functional armed helicopters, 12 escort aircraft carriers are all transformed from merchant ships, with a full load displacement of between 20,000 tons and 40,000 tons, and the number of carrier-based aircraft carried is not the same, the smallest one can carry 24 third-generation fighters, and the largest one can carry 60 third-generation fighters.
With the commander-in-chief of the three reinforced aircraft carrier formations, Yorufur, giving the order to take the initiative to meet the battle, it did not take long for the Lombalou Imperial Navy to gather more than 400 carrier-based aircraft, including more than 400 fighters, in the sky over the entire fleet, and then fiercely greeted the Free Corps Air Force fighters flying in the direction of Dongjiang Port.
In addition to the large-scale recruitment of ordinary Chu people by the army of the Free Legion, Lin Daxin temporarily focused on the air force and navy of the Free Corps of the Free Corps, and at the same time, Lin Daxin also moved some of the fighters, warships and army weapons and equipment stolen from the second crazy trip to the time and space of the Blue Water Planet. Equipped for the Freedom Corps' Army, Navy, and Air Force units.
In particular, Lin Daxin equipped the air force of the Free Corps with a large number of fighters, focusing on strengthening the air power along the coast of Lichun Province.
On the morning of November 27, Lin Daxin suddenly received a report from the Free Corps Navy that a nuclear-powered attack submarine of the Free Corps Navy had discovered a large fleet that was heading towards the coast of Lichun Province, and it had been confirmed that it was the naval fleet of the Lombalou Empire, which contained many aircraft carriers.
It seems that what should come is still coming, and the naval fleet of the Lombalou Empire should be here for revenge!
Lin Daxin pondered for a while, thinking that it was absolutely not okay to just be passively beaten, especially the fighters of the Free Corps Air Force were all placed in the various airfields along the coast of Lichun Province, if the carrier-based aircraft of the Lombalou Imperial Navy carried out air strikes on the various airfields along the coast of Lichun Province, then the Air Force of the Free Corps would suffer great losses and must strike first!
So Lin Daxin immediately ordered the fighters of the Free Corps Air Force to take off from various airfields along the coast of Lichun Province and launch a preemptive air attack on the naval fleet of the Lombalou Empire.
Soon the Air Force of the Free Corps gathered 320 fifth-generation fighters, 450 fourth-generation fighters, 260 third-generation fighters, 60 strategic bombers, 12 AWACS aircraft and 30 electronic attack aircraft from various airfields along the coast of Lichun Province and pounced in the direction of the Imperial Navy fleet of Lombalou.
Soon the planes of the two sides met in the sky about 200 kilometers away from the three reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, and a very large-scale air battle broke out.
As soon as the two planes met and each other's planes could only vaguely see each other's planes, the electronic attack planes and early warning planes of the two sides released powerful electromagnetic interference, causing the airborne radar systems of many fighters on both sides to temporarily fail, but the cyborg pilots had already been prepared for this and continued to accelerate towards the Lombarou Empire's fleet, while some pilots of the Lombalou Empire's naval aviation were a little flustered.
After the fighters of the two sides closed the distance, they fired air-to-air missiles at the opponent's fighters one after another, and released jamming bombs to interfere with the opponent's missiles, and at the same time did various evasive maneuvers, but many fighters of both sides were still hit by missiles and fell to the sea.
As the fighters of both sides drew closer, the white-hot aerial combat became more and more intense, and the explosions in the sky came and went, playing a symphony of death.
"Boom-" One fourth-generation fighter of the Lombalou Imperial Navy was hit by a cannon shell and exploded and disintegrated directly in the air, and the Lombalou Imperial Navy pilot on the plane had no chance of parachuting to escape, but it was a third-generation fighter of the Freikorps that shot down this fourth-generation fighter.
"Bastard! How could the people of Chu have so many fighters? And the air technology of these Chu pilots is even stronger than that of our experienced Lombalou Imperial Naval Aviation, is this the amateur pilot mentioned above? If they are amateurs, what are we? β
"Stop whining, pay attention to your back, you were bitten by 1 enemy plane!"
"Oh my! I was really bitten! Come and help me! I can't get rid of it! β
With a "boom-" sound, one third-generation fighter piloted by the grumbling Lombalou Imperial Navy pilot was instantly hit.
"It's over! My plane was shot and out of control! What to do? What to do? What am I going to do? β
"Stupid, skydive!"
In the process of the fighters of the two sides in close contact, the cyborg pilots relied on their skillful piloting skills, biting one after another the carrier-based aircraft of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, constantly firing, one after another Lombalou Imperial Navy carrier-based aircraft were shot down, of course, some of the fighters of the Free Corps were also shot down, but the number was much less than the losses of the Lombalou Imperial Navy.
What made the pilots of the Lombalou Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft collapse even more was that the Freipulp's Air Force fighters were divided into a part and directly aimed at the Lombalou Imperial Navy's early warning aircraft and electronic attack aircraft, and soon all the Lombalou Imperial Navy's early warning aircraft and electronic attack aircraft were shot down in the sky, which made the Air-to-Air Missiles equipped with the Freipules fighters play a greater and greater role, so that the loss of the Lombalou Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft has become bigger and bigger.
In addition, the number of carrier-based aircraft of the Lombalou Imperial Navy was less than the number of fighters sent by the Free Corps Air Force, and it did not take long, about ten minutes, and more than 400 carrier-based aircraft of the Lombalou Imperial Navy lost more than 300 aircraft, but fortunately, at this time, the second batch of carrier-based aircraft of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, about 300 carrier-based aircraft, came to support, so that the air combat situation of the crisis of the Lombalou Imperial Naval Aviation was temporarily alleviated.
