Chapter 195: The Battle of the Arabian Sea 6

(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. )

Other rookie pilots of the Maritime Resistance Force have been training in dive and close fire since they began to fly fighter planes. Seeing that the captain hit with a blow, he immediately became bold, and all of them did the same, and each found a target and began to dive.

The Japanese air force was beaten in chaos for a while. The reason for the confusion is that the pilots of the Naval Resistance Army are really rookies, and when they see Japanese fighters for the first time, they don't know which fighters are more valuable. The targets they find from high altitudes are extremely mixed.

There are fighters, there are bombers, there are torpedo machines. The rhythm of the sortie is also messy. Sometimes the two fighters dive together, sometimes with an interval of one minute, sometimes with an interval of several seconds.

Eleven fighters, in the first round of the dive, took out a Japanese torpedo plane.

The technology is still not good, the Japanese fighters were unaware of it before, and only two Japanese fighters were shot down in such a favorable situation.

Like Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, the Air Force of the Naval Resistance Army immediately fell into passivity after this only move.

However, the devil's fighters were also disrupted in formation, so that the Japanese fighters could not form a round bombing of the Pacific, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Pacific's air defense.

Li Guang saw clearly on the bridge that this was definitely not a devil's Zero fighter, although Li Guang had not seen the Zero fighter in reality, he had seen it more than once in the film and television network.

Zheng Xuechang was in charge of the air defense of the battleships and fleets, and Li Guang was worried about the air force pilots of the Naval Resistance Army at the moment. The tactic he proposed was to deal with the Japanese Zero fighters, but the Japanese fighters in front of him were Type 96, and I don't know what the characteristics were.

After watching for a few minutes, Li Guang found that the rookie pilots had retreated in the first round of battle.

Good grades. Li Guang applauded and rejoiced in the command bridge.

The technology is inherited, the style of the fighter is consistent for Japan, and the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft can be said to be the predecessor of the Japanese Zero fighter, and good low-altitude maneuverability is its greatest feature.

It is already the end of the 40s, but the Zero fighters that have just been finalized in Japan have not yet been equipped with Japanese naval aircraft carriers. Even if a fighter is finalized, it is not so easy to produce, and historically, in the middle of forty-two years, Japanese aircraft carriers were not fully equipped with Zero fighters.

Although there were no losses in the first round of battles, the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army fell into a melee, and then they fought separately and fell into passivity, and the situation was extremely unfavorable. Thanks to the fact that the Japanese fighters had not yet dropped their bombs and were not flexible enough, although the rookies of the Naval Resistance Army were in danger, the losses were not large.

Although Tu Yuanyuan is the captain, the air combat skills are not very clever, sweating profusely to get rid of the pursuit of a Japanese fighter, he found that the little devil's fighter is very flexible, but the performance of the P40 fighter is not inferior to the Japanese 96 type carrier-based aircraft, not only the level flight speed can not catch up with himself, the dive can not keep up with himself, so he shouted in the public channel "Dive away." ”

This experience came too late, and with an explosion in the air, a naval resistance fighter plane was broken and rushed towards the sea with black smoke in its tow.

As a matter of fact, in these short two or three minutes, many fighters of the Naval Resistance Army were hit, but they were not hit by the vital point. The P40's rugged superiority is on display.

Fortunately, the Japanese aircraft carrier only has a total of five fighters, and after being killed by the Baxia before, and now after being killed by Tu Yuanyuan, the little devil only has four fighters left, and the threat is greatly reduced. Although the performance of the P40 of the Naval Resistance Force is not good, its maneuverability is several times better than that of torpedo aircraft and bombers.

About seven or eight minutes into the air battle, the Naval Resistance Army lost one fighter again, but the remaining ten fighters again occupied the high altitude. It was clear that the Japanese Navy was not adapted to this tactic.

The so-called once born, twice cooked. The magnitude of the rookies' growth in these few minutes is amazing.

Ten warplanes were uneven again, each finding their target and starting the second round of dives.

The effect of this round of dives was still good, and two Japanese bombers were shot down. However, in the subsequent detachment, the P40 of the Naval Resistance Army was once again bitten by the Japanese 96 fighters. Although the pilots of the Naval Resistance Army temporarily had a better way to break away, their technical proficiency could not be truly improved in a moment, and in just a few minutes, with the Japanese air force being prepared, the Naval Resistance Army lost two fighters again.

Fifteen minutes into the air battle, the Naval Resistance Army lost four fighters, and the Japanese also lost four. Jiro Okada, the captain of the Devil's Flight, was an experienced pilot, and he divided all four fighters to hover over the battlefield to deal with the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army. He had already discovered that the fighter pilots of the Naval Resistance Force were all rookies, but they were only a little faster in their escape, and with a little care, these fighters could not threaten bombers and torpedo planes at all. At this moment, the devil's fighters have all released aerial bombs, and although they have not achieved any results, the flexibility of the 96 fighters has begun to be fully brought into play.

From this moment on, the eight fighters of the Naval Resistance Army could hardly compete with the four fighters of the Japanese army, and the air combat was full of dangers.

Li Guang had originally planned that as long as these twelve fighters could buy a few minutes for the Pacific to return, he realized another problem at the moment - that is, he underestimated his fighter team.

The reason why Li Guang subconsciously thinks that his air force is still a rookie, especially because Tu Yuanchao's squad belongs to the rookie squad. This is because he has a concept, when he learned to drive a car in the 21st century, the experience of driving school is not counted, when he drives alone and has tens of thousands of kilometers of driving experience, he feels that he is skilled in hand and foot coordination, and when he encounters problems. But it's still a world of displeasure compared to a master of driving.

It took Li Guang half a year to drive 10,000 kilometers in a private car. Li Guang believes that pilots who have not flown fighter planes for half a year are considered rookies. But he forgot one thing, these so-called rookie pilots of the Naval Resistance Army actually don't have a lot of time to fly fighters. After three months of basic recruit training, pilots fly an average of one hour per day. These pilots, even rookies, have been on board for six months of training and have flown at least a hundred hours. In World War II, pilots with this flight time can no longer be regarded as rookies, and the British in the past Battle of London, pilots with only ten hours of flying experience and the Luftwaffe began aerial combat with the Luftwaffe is definitely not a few.

You must know that a private car can only drive 10,000 kilometers for just over 100 hours, and the aircraft of this era are not much more advanced than the cars of the 21st century.

Although the eight fighters that were far surpassed in the air were in a hurry and chaos by the four Japanese fighters at first. But in the process of being pursued, then getting rid of the pursuit, and then seeking an opportunity to counterattack, these pilots slowly recovered their decline, became offensive and defensive, and did not lose fighters again. Even under the leadership of Tu Yuanchao, the two-plane formation battle began.

On the radio, Tu Yuanchao strongly demanded to continue fighting, and Li Guang also felt that dealing with the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft was an excellent opportunity for the young air force of the Naval Resistance Army, so he ordered Tu Yuanchao's squad to continue to fight with the four Japanese fighters.

For more than ten minutes of air fighting, the battleship's anti-aircraft guns did not stop for a second.

The Japanese devils found that the warships of the Naval Resistance Army were really difficult to bomb. It's not that it's fast, it's that there's an extra tactic on the battleship that they've never passed through - a searchlight.

As soon as the Japanese fighters began to dive, they were illuminated by strong light and could not open their eyes.

A Japanese Type 99 bomber pilot was dazed by the strong light, busy and chaotic, originally he planned to pull up the fighter, who expected that the tail drooped, the fighter swooped down at a higher speed, he was not aimed at the battleship of the Naval Resistance Army, but the sea, so straight into the sea.

There was a huge splash on the sea, and Li Guang could see it clearly. He thought that this devil fighter was going to explode, but for some unknown reason, it just splashed and disappeared immediately.

After the initial confusion, Japanese bombers and torpedo planes found their target and launched a fierce attack on the battleship Pacific.

The battleship was so behemoth, and it turned to dodge in the rain of bullets, and the momentum was terrifying. And two pickup air defense destroyers were always accompanied by the battleship, covering its flanks.

In the marshalling training of the Naval Resistance Fleet, the two pickup destroyers were under the command of Zheng Xuechang, and their task was to only look at the direction of the battleship, and when the battleship turned left, he would turn left, and if the battleship turned right, he would turn right, and the speed would completely follow the battleship.

All in all, the core priority of the two pickup destroyers was to protect the battleship in battle.

As a result, it was difficult for the Japanese torpedo planes to give full play to the subjects they had to train in peacetime, and they could not find a gap to deal with battleships from the flank attack, so they could only deal with pickup air defense destroyers first.

But the pickup air defense destroyer is not so easy to deal with.

On the side of the pickup destroyer, there were twenty-four groups of anti-aircraft guns, forty-eight guns, and twelve anti-aircraft machine guns. With such dense firepower, it was extremely difficult for the torpedo machine to rush to within a kilometer and drop the torpedo.

The little devil is dead-headed, he only knows that the flank attack battleship has a high hit rate, and he still doesn't know whether to attack the flank.

These torpedo planes were not only faced with dense artillery, but also the strong searchlights that made the pilots' eyes dizzy, not to mention the approach of low-altitude flight, and it was difficult to judge the altitude.

In just a few minutes, two torpedo planes were destroyed, one of them were drilled into the water, and only the last torpedo machine remained. It's about to be scrapped completely.

The little devils are crazy enough, and the bombers take turns bombing the battleship Pacific. Due to its layout, the battleship Pacific could only be equipped with 24 small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and its own anti-aircraft firepower was not strong.

However, the pickup destroyers divided half of their firepower against the Japanese torpedo planes, and the other half supported the battleship Pacific.

Even this half of the firepower is not weak, plus the battleship's anti-aircraft guns have a total of more than 100 guns, weaving a network of fire in the sky, which is spectacular.

Although the Japanese air force on the Fengxiang aircraft carrier is not the most elite of Japan's First Air Fleet or the Second Air Fleet, it is also a veteran of the Chinese battlefield for a long time.

Countermeasures were worked out only after the loss of a total of five torpedo planes and several other fighters.

Jiro Okada, the captain of the devil's air force, was a pilot with extremely rich battlefield experience, and after more than ten minutes of chaos, he was not only able to disrupt the attack of the eight fighters of the Naval Resistance Army with four fighters, but also to observe the battlefield with his own mind. He had already figured out a little that the battleship plus two destroyers on both wings had too much anti-aircraft firepower, but that was only the flanks. Directly in front of the battleship, and in the rear, were weak points in anti-aircraft fire.

Due to the special layout of the battleship Pacific, there were five twin main turrets, forming a pattern of three in the front and two in the rear, with a towering bridge and stern in the middle.

AND MOST OF THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT FIRE OF THIS BATTLESHIP WAS ON THE HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER PARTS OF THE BRIDGE, AND THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS WERE NOT SMALL, BUT THEY WERE SCATTERED ON ALL SIDES, AND THERE WERE ONLY FOUR TWIN 37MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS IN FRONT. Comparatively, the front of the stern is longer and the space is larger. For bombers, the target is big, and of course it's good to bomb.

Jiro Okada was not stupid, and he thought of a good solution, but in general, whether the bombers or torpedo planes launched an attack on the front and rear of the battleship, they still did not have a large area of side bombing, and the hit rate was significantly reduced.

Soon, the Japanese fighters changed their tactics, and one after another Type 99 bombers rushed down from the front of the battleship.

The level of the devil's pilots is significantly higher than that of the rookies of the Naval Resistance Army, and the diving rhythm of the little devils is excellent. In an average of forty seconds, a fighter plane dived down from a height of 3,000 meters.

Zheng Xuechang saw clearly that a Japanese fighter plane was diving down head-on.

Hurriedly yelled into the microphone: "Left full rudder,"

The rudder warriors echoed: "Full rudder left." ”

The massive battleship dodged a bombshell in a single shot. The bomb exploded less than 20 meters on the right side of the battleship, and the violent explosion raised a column of water tens of meters high. In the bridge, Li Guang felt the mist from the pavement pouring in.

The point of impact was a full hundred meters away from the bridge, and there was a water buffer, although they knew that it would not affect the bridge, but everyone present felt palpitations at this huge power.

was able to dodge the first shot, Zheng Xuechang did not dare to relax in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, the Pacific dodged several bombs one after another, and the violent explosion stirred up a sky-high mist, and the battleship was full of shrapnel flying everywhere in front of and on the left and right.

The bombardment of Japanese fighters seemed to be endless, and another fighter swooped down.

The battleship had just turned around, and under the huge centrifugal force, the hull of the ship was tilted eighteen degrees upward, seeing the fighter rushing straight down, Zheng Xuechang did not dare to give orders indiscriminately, and the battleship did not dare to turn around in the opposite direction again. He feared that the battleship would not be able to withstand the huge inertia and capsize.

One can only hope for the mistakes of the Japanese fighters.

For a moment, Zheng Xuechang thought that the Pacific was about to be shot.

The fact is also that the Pacific was shaken, and a bomb exploded on the foredeck, and the sound of the explosion buzzed Li Guang's ears. The shock wave of the explosion tore the "curtain" of the command bridge to shreds, and even then everyone was a little dizzy.

This "curtain" is the first creation of the Naval Resistance Army, which is neither from the knowledge of Li Guang's later generations, nor from the books and teaching materials of the navies of various countries, but the invention of real naval resistance fighters. At the beginning, the Naval Resistance Army was shelled by the battleship now known as the Pacific Battleship, when a soldier in the gun emplacement coincidentally discovered that several layers of rag curtains at the entrance of the cave could greatly weaken the shock wave of the shell explosion. This discovery was studied and experimented by a group of technical staff officers of the Naval Resistance Army, and this small technique turned out to be extremely effective in dealing with the shock wave of artillery shells. Therefore, on the warships of the Maritime Resistance Army, the windows of the bridge are made of soft and transparent plastic as "curtains".

When the smoke cleared, Li Guang found that only a large crater had been blown out of the foredeck of the battleship, and the armor was seriously deformed, but it had not been blown through at all. In the bridge,

A FEW PEOPLE LET OUT A BREATH, AND THE SWOOPING DEVIL FIGHTER THREW ONLY A 250KG AERIAL BOMB, AND THE HUGE KINETIC ENERGY OF THIS BOMB WAS NOT ABLE TO PENETRATE THE TEN-INCH (254MM) ARMOR. It's hard to say if it's a little bit, you must know that the upper deck of this battleship is not all ten inches thick armor protection, in some places it is only three inches.
