Chapter 197: The Battle of the Arabian Sea 8

The Tu Yuanchao fighter team, which was in charge of covering in the air, had also run out of bullets in the more than 20 minutes of battle, and was ordered by Li Guang to return to the sea at full speed to reload.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the next moment, the dawn is dawning. 6:50 p.m.

Liu Gensheng's fighter squad and Liu Guobang's bomber squad had already found the Japanese aircraft carrier. That's great news.

The Naval Resistance Force had a total of 24 fighters, and the Japanese army had one aircraft carrier and two destroyers. It was basically the same as the situation when the anti-Japanese fleet was attacked. It should be said that the attack conditions were much better, not only was the number of fighters increased by four, but also the Japanese aircraft carrier Fengxiang did not have a single fighter escort at all at this time, and what was even more advantageous was that the air defense capability of the Japanese aircraft carrier formation was weak, and all the antiaircraft guns added up to not necessarily a hundred.

Li Guang can't control whether he wins or loses, because in his concept, the naval resistance and air force really can't be regarded as elite. But this is Li Guang's only chance to win.

Just now, the fleet withstood the bombardment of Japanese fighters, but the Japanese seemed to have found a response. Although the Japanese lost nine fighters, their strength was still there.

If the Japanese fighters make a comeback, it is really mysterious whether the battleship can withstand the next round.

The Air Force of the Naval Resistance Army must destroy the aircraft carriers of the Japanese Army, which is the only chance for the Naval Resistance Army.

Until this time, Li Guang still did not know how much strength the Japanese army had used. But no matter how much force the Japanese army used, it was necessary to take out the Japanese aircraft carriers.

During the interval of the battle, Li Guangcai saw that the only person injured in the bridge turned out to be Major Smith, the British liaison officer, who was hit on the head and bled out. Li Guang smiled and said: "It can be regarded as shedding blood for the Naval Resistance Army, you are the first British." ”

Sometimes, Li Guang felt that he was a little incredible, and under such great pressure, he could actually joke with Smith, although it was not very funny. A soldier helped Major Smith into the medical chamber for treatment.

The Air Force is still bombing Japanese aircraft carriers, and there is no good news for the time being.

While waiting, Li Guang again received the latest news that the water reconnaissance plane had spotted the Japanese fleet - four large battleships, and suspected that at least two were battleships. Now the Japanese fleet is advancing at a speed of thirty knots, and the route is just right to intercept the main fleet of the Naval Resistance Army. The distance between the two fleets is less than eighty kilometers.

Six ships.

That's a lot of power. At present, the Naval Resistance Force has five warships, but only three can threaten surface ships, one battleship, one PC (seaplane), and one Jairwood torpedo boat.

Absolute weakness.

You must know that the maximum speed of the battleship Pacific is only 22.5 knots. The fleet had already been discovered by the Japanese army, and it would certainly be difficult to escape from the pursuit of the Japanese warships. Due to the interception of Japanese fighters, the Pacific was not able to advance a kilometer towards Yemen during the half-hour battle, and even deviated a lot of distance in the process of dodging the bombs around the corner.

If you want to win, you can only rely on the support of the air force.

The Pacific now had no other way but to keep heading northwest. The submarine forces of the Maritime Resistance Army like rainy days most during sneak attacks. Who knew that the battleships also looked forward to rainy days, only on rainy days, it was possible for the naval resistance army to evade the search of the Japanese fleet.

Today's weather is actually biased in favor of the Japanese devils, the weather in the Arabian Sea is really good these days, the sky is clear, and the wind and waves are calm. Although the sun was setting in the west, it was still three hours before it got dark, but according to the calculations of the staff officers, it would not take three hours for the home team to engage in two hours. In fact, even if it was dark and such good weather, it was difficult for the huge battleship to escape the search of the Japanese fleet in the night.

Eighty kilometers, it took four hours for the Japanese to pursue with all their might, but in fact, because the course of the two fleets was at an angle of 45 degrees, it took more than two hours to enter the artillery range.

On the sea in the distance, Liu Gensheng led the fighter planes to start a dive bombing. The three battleships of the Japanese army, the anti-aircraft artillery fire and the naval resistance army are not at the same level at all, and the three battleships together are less than a hundred anti-aircraft guns. And the Maritime Resistance Army has 98 anti-aircraft guns on just one pickup destroyer.

The Naval Resistance Army did not have torpedo machines, only fighters. However, the fighters of the Maritime Resistance Army are not bad compared to the 99 bombers of the little devils, and they also carry 250 kg of bombs. (In fact, there is still a gap, the devil takes off on an aircraft carrier with two hundred and fifty kilograms.) However, if the P40 of the Naval Resistance Force can only carry 250 pounds of bombs on the aircraft carrier, the difference in weight is double, and the lethality can be about four times worse. Moreover, the Japanese Army's Type 99 dive bomber could carry three bombs. )

However, the dive bombing technology of Liu Gensheng's squad is truly first-class, which is compared with the training results of the British Air Force, rather than boasting. Liu Gensheng swooped down from a height of 4,000 meters, and the angle of his dive was extremely large, almost 75 degrees. The cavities of the airbrake make a high-pitched whistling sound at high speeds.

Even if the P40 fighter is strong enough, it is quite difficult to dive with a 250 kg bomb. The stronger the fighter, the heavier it will be, and the more kinetic energy it will have to dive.

When Liu Gensheng drove the P40 to fight against Chile, it was already quite dangerous to drop three 60-pound bombs. Almost crashed the warplane.

After the transformation of the P40, there is an additional aileron, the drag is increased a lot, and the added speed brake is even more effective. Liu Gensheng has tested many times that the P40 fighter is the most accurate in dropping at an angle of 75 degrees under the current situation, and it is relatively easy to change the flight state at the end of the dive.

The fighter plane is equipped with a speed brake to control the dive speed at about 400 kilometers, so that the fighter will not be difficult to operate because of the high speed, and the accuracy of the bombing will be greatly increased.

Liu Gensheng felt that the results of the fighter squad in the battle of Shixiang Island in March were obviously inferior to those of the bomber squad, and he felt that his face was very disgraceful. His squad has always been very strict in training for dive bombing, and he really wants to compete with Liu Guobang in this battle. If he competed in the naval resistance air force to dive and drop bombs, Li Guang's level of this guard deserved to be the first, and he was even higher than Yuan Yin, who presided over the training of recruits on Shixiang Island.

Many Japanese devils saw the terrifying scene in front of them, a fighter plane suddenly appeared from a high altitude and rushed down directly at the aircraft carrier.

But it was too late, and by the time the devil's aircraft carrier made a move, the fighters were no more than a thousand meters away from the aircraft carrier.

The Japanese aircraft carrier desperately turned the rudder to avoid this deadly bomb. The anti-aircraft artillery also opened fire one after another, shrapnel flew in the sky, and clouds of black smoke fluttered in the air. Anti-aircraft shooting in a hurry was useless at all, and it was too late to aim in just two or three seconds.

Liu Gensheng skillfully released the bomb at an altitude of 450 meters, and with a loud bang, a 250-kilogram bomb passed through the flight deck and exploded on the hangar deck.

Flames and flames erupted from both sides of the aircraft carrier, and the scene was spectacular.

Liu Gensheng won with one blow.

The morale of the air squad is high.

Compared with Tu Yuanchao's fighter team, the air force team led by Liu Gensheng is not a rookie, all of them are masters, and the pilots have more than 200 hours of flight experience, even if they are not masters of air combat, they are also masters of dive bombing.

Twelve warplanes, like an exercise, descended from the sky one after another. The devils' anti-aircraft artillery is shooting desperately, trying in vain to intercept.

Of course, Liu Guobang will not miss the opportunity, and his bomber formation has already begun to perform video games.

This is no longer what it used to be, and the bomber squad is no longer the rookie of the past. The dexterity bomb is not the original small bomb, and the control system of the video game has been continuously upgraded in half a year, and the control performance has been greatly improved.

Today's weather is unfavorable for the main fleet of the Naval Resistance Army, but it is a godsend for the bombers. There is no wind, and the line of sight is good, and it is rare to have such good weather in normal training. If he still can't hit the bomb like this, Liu Guobang will not forgive himself, not to mention that the bomber team is now under his command in addition to the first video game master. It can really be described as a weapon for elite soldiers, and there is no reason to be invincible.

Even more favorable, the dive bombardment of fighters has attracted anti-aircraft artillery fire from the little devils. Transport aircraft (bombers) fought almost in a state of training.

By the time the bomber's first bomb fell, five fighters had already dropped their bombs. The fighter squadron also played a somewhat extraordinary role, training in peacetime and bombing a slow-moving training cruiser could only achieve about 20 percent, and today it bombed an aircraft carrier that was evading with a maneuver of 25 knots, and two of the five bombs reached a hit rate of 40 percent.

In fact, one of Liu Gensheng's bombs has blown a hole in the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, but the bomb is modified from the armor-piercing shell of the 203MM gun, and the 203MM shell itself is less than 100 kilograms.

A single bomb is not enough to completely deprive a huge aircraft carrier of its ability to take off and land fighters.

The next two bombs hit the aircraft carrier even harder, and in fact, in this state, the combat function of the aircraft carrier has been lost.

On the Fengxiang aircraft carrier, Shan Shan Dazuo's face was already dark. Don't look at the damage to the battleship, it is not serious, but the fighter can no longer be recovered.

But in the next second, he didn't have to worry about this problem. A bombshell fell from a high altitude, and he could even see that the bomb seemed to change direction in the air.

Immediately the bomb landed on the foredeck of the aircraft carrier.

The flight deck of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier does not run through the entire ship, and there is a small part in front that does not have a flight deck.

Unlike the previous three explosions, this bombshell penetrated through the foredeck and exploded in the bilge of the aircraft carrier through two decks.

After the loud explosion, I saw that the bow of the aircraft carrier was completely blown away, half of the bow of the ship more than 10 meters in front was blown away, and a huge opening opened at the front end of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier. This is a terrible opening, and if there is a destroyer, it is estimated that it can sail into it.

The sea water is pervasive, not to mention such a large opening, whistling and surging into the aircraft carrier.

The pilots of the Maritime Resistance Army saw a strange scene, the front of the aircraft carrier was flooded, but the stern of the ship began to sink, and in less than a minute, this huge aircraft carrier began to look up.

In the end, the bow of the ship completely left the water, and of course the stern of the ship had entered the sea. It was only seven o'clock at this time, and only ten minutes had passed since Liu Gensheng launched his first attack.

Liu Gensheng was a little depressed, and was robbed of the results by Liu Guobang. According to this situation, because the fighter squad has already made the aircraft carrier lose its combat effectiveness, at least half of the results are not small, but after all, it is not so cool to sink alone.

Liu Gensheng gave an order, and the rest of the fighters began to chase and attack the two Japanese destroyers on the sea.

In the competition against the Japanese destroyers, the fighter squad was one round ahead. During the battle, two of the armor-piercing shells simply blew a destroyer with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons into scrap metal.

The bomber squad was a little depressed, and dropped five bombs in a row, but they didn't hit another small destroyer. The devil's destroyer is really fast enough, a full thirty-seven or eight knots hovering on the sea, it is really not easy to blow up.

If Li Guang had known the name of this Japanese destroyer that had not been bombed, he would have been happier.

You must know that this destroyer is the second of the three auspicious fortunes of the Japanese Navy in World War II - the destroyer Tokiyu. The auspiciousness of the devil is very distinctive, only auspicious himself, specializing in accomplices. All warships that accompanied him were always unlucky. No, three battleships, there is only one left in the blink of an eye.
