The Bostonians are still very concerned about the air defense of warships, especially since they have many huge battleships as air defense platforms. Studies have shown that the concentration of the same number of anti-aircraft guns on one battleship is more effective than the air defense of several destroyers.

Therefore, the Boston people would still equip each aircraft carrier formation with two after knowing that the battleships had gradually become obsolete, mainly to allow them to carry out air defense. The dense anti-aircraft artillery fire was intertwined, and a fire net was created over the fleet, and several Sailfish 2C attack planes were caught off guard by anti-aircraft artillery fire, and the body of the aircraft in high-speed flight was immediately torn apart by strong stress, and the burning wreckage sank into the sea with the pilots who had not had time to parachute.

The guidance range of laser-guided bombs is limited, and these attack planes must drop bombs at an altitude of less than 1,000 meters in order to ensure a hit rate.

Faced with a large Boston fleet, the main focus of the attack aircraft group was on aircraft carriers and supply ships, followed by troop carriers and destroyers, and for those rough-skinned battleships, it was too wasteful of ammunition to be among the targets of the first wave of air strikes.

The first wave of attack aircraft of the attack group knocked the Boston Ocean Fleet on its back, thirteen aircraft carriers were sunk, and twenty-one aircraft were seriously damaged and could not take off and land aircraft, which means that after this air attack, Remus only had eleven aircraft carriers available.

After dropping all the bombs, the Sailfish 2C attack aircraft were greatly reduced in weight and became more agile. With no bombs to deal with the warships, the attack planes climbed to altitude and pounced on the group of pirate fighters that had turned back.

Sailfish 2C fighter belongs to the second generation of jet aircraft, compared with the first generation of Golden Eagle 4, F84 fighter they emphasize high-altitude and high-speed performance, for low-altitude short-range combat performance, even more than the first generation of jet fighters are slightly lacking, so they mainly use air-to-air missiles for air combat, in order to make up for their own shortcomings.

Of course, these shortcomings depend on what kind of aircraft it is fighting against, and if it is against a Corsair fighter, the maneuverability of the Sailfish 2C attack aircraft will still comprehensively suppress the opponent. Even so, in order to quickly resolve the fighting, they used air-to-air missiles.

The Thunderbolt-3 missile, which uses infrared and semi-radar guided warheads, has an attack range of only a few kilometers, but with its speed of Mach 1.5, it is more than enough to deal with those Corsair fighters with a speed of only more than 700 kilometers per hour.

A series of fire dragons in the air flew sideways, shooting down one pirate fighter after another, and the warship sailors who had just stopped releasing tin foil saw that the other party finally used the missile, and quickly began to fire tin foil bombs again, but unfortunately the launch height of the tin foil bombs was not high, and the impact on air-to-air missiles was not great, and occasionally a few missiles were taken in the wrong direction and did not affect the overall situation, and the pirate fighters still fell one after another without any power to fight back.

In order to carry a heavy laser-guided war, the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Chinese Navy did not carry many short-range missiles, and each aircraft only carried a total of four missiles on the wingtips and the pylons closest to the wingtips. After emptying all short-range air-to-air missiles and shooting down most of the Boston fighters, the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit chose to return home.

It was not until the opposing planes could not be seen that the Boston fleet stopped releasing the interfering tin chaff. Although tin foil strips are not very useful, they are better than not having any means of interference, even if they are necessary to stabilize the morale of the army. It's just that the tin chaff projectile is equipped only on destroyers, and with the displacement of more than a thousand tons of destroyers, the number of tin foil strips loaded on each warship is limited. Even if it is cast in turns, it will not be able to withstand this intensity, and now the tin chaff of the entire fleet has been consumed by two-thirds, which is not enough to deal with the next air missile attack of the opponent.

As soon as the Boston Fleet stopped firing tin chaff, the cruiser fleet of the Chinese Empire entered a range of 100 kilometers, and the officers on the AWACS planes immediately issued an attack order after discovering that the other side had stopped releasing tin chaff, and the missiles on hundreds of cruisers were ignited almost simultaneously.

After the missile lifted off, the inertial guidance was immediately turned on, and with the accurate coordinates provided by the early warning aircraft, the missile quickly headed towards the target. Under the watchful eye of an early warning aircraft with an effective radar detection range of more than 200 kilometers, more than 100 YJ-2 anti-ship missiles flew at a high speed of five meters above the sea surface and headed for the Boston Fleet at a high speed of Mach 0.9. Just when the Boston fleet had just relaxed its vigilance, the anti-ship missiles, which had already reached nearly five kilometers, rose in altitude one after another and rushed towards the Boston warships that were densely covered in the sea.

"There is a missile attack." The sailors who had been on the lookout soon spotted the missile swarm coming from the opposite side, and the sailors on the destroyer scrambled to release tin foil strips, building a silver wall around the fleet. The interference of the tin chaff was still relatively effective against the YJ-2 missiles, and those incoming missiles crashed into the walls of the tin chaff and exploded, and only two missiles flying in the front broke into the inner circle before the opponent threw the tin chaff, sinking a cruiser and slightly wounding a battleship.

"Great, it finally works." Seeing that the tin foil strip had achieved the desired effect, Remus's mental calculation was put down, at least it was still very effective against ship-based anti-ship missiles, and when he returned, he had to suggest to the scientists that the anti-aircraft guns could fire tin foil strip shells, so that they could interfere with the air-to-air missiles carried by the aircraft.

"Keep attacking." After seeing that the other side did not suffer much loss, the commander on the AWACS aircraft gave another order. Three missile attacks in a row did not achieve much effect, and only a few warships were sunk, but these scrambling anti-ship missiles gradually confused the entire fleet, especially when the tin foil strips were used up one after another, and destroyers from other directions began to sail towards the east of the missile attack, trying to replace those destroyers who ran out of tin chaff.

The formation of the Boston Ocean Fleet had been in chaos due to several missile salvos, and the destroyers could no longer hold their positions around the capital ships, and they leaned to the east, trying to interfere with the missile swarm in the air with the tin foil curtain wall they had ejected. For a time, a large gap was opened in the anti-submarine network of the Boston Imperial Ocean Fleet, and at least for a short time, there were no destroyers in the other three directions of the fleet.
