Chapter 31: Surprise Attacks and Tactical Games
After reaching the skies over the target area, the attack aircraft group automatically divided into two large attack formations, each of which swooped down on a deep-sea fleet.
On that day, the deep-sea warships, which had no air supremacy at all, finally felt the fear of being dominated by carrier-based aircraft.
After entering the dive phase, the attack aircraft group controlled by Princeton instantly increased its speed by nearly double the speed under the blessing of the Maiint force field, and the torpedo planes that originally traveled at a speed of nearly 700 kilometers per hour broke through the sound barrier one after another, passed through the sonic boom clouds like discs, and rushed straight down towards the two deep-sea fleets that had not yet figured out the situation with a deafening sonic boom.
Before you hear it, you can see it first!
The two deep-sea fleets that were rushing to the encirclement first heard a buzzing sound from a distance under the high-speed rotation of the propellers of carrier-based aircraft, but when they looked up suspiciously, they found a group of small black dots in the sky flying from far and near, and swept over them before they could react.
As the fleet passed, shocking sonic booms and whistling followed.
The sonic boom and shock wave from the supersonic fighter flying at a low altitude were enough to shatter ordinary glass and cause internal bleeding within ordinary creatures, and although the deep sea creatures were different from normal creatures, the violent sonic boom and shock wave still made them react half a beat slower to respond to subsequent attacks.
By the time the two deep-sea fleets noticed the high-speed torpedoes coming from underwater, it was too late. With a speed of 22 knots, even if they accelerate urgently, it is difficult to dodge the torpedoes that are at least 60 knots underwater.
These two deep-sea fleets together have only 14 deep-sea warships, and under the saturation of as many as 25 high-level torpedo planes, the attack aircraft group sent the two deep-sea fleets under the ocean in just one wave of torpedo attacks, making them a real "deep-sea" fleet.
Dive, bomb drop, pull-up, return, textbook-like air raids, all in one go!
There were bursts of violent explosions on the surface of the sea, and the heavy torpedoes with high intensity charges easily tore apart the Maint protective force field of the deep-sea fleet with the assistance of the Mainet force field, and then burst out with a huge amount of violent energy, which split these deep seas apart and lifted the sea water dozens of meters high, forming huge water columns that rushed into the sky.
At this time, the two groups of planes that had completed the attack mission had regrouped together, forming the same attack group as when they came, and began to return home.
"Heh, it's completely vulnerable! How could I possibly show my wonderful operation as a great magician in front of such an enemy. ”
Princeton spun his magic wand in a quick circle, sneered disdainfully, and then raised his hand to cover the tactical communication device in his right ear.
"Report to the commander, the enemy fleet in the northeast direction has been completely wiped out, and the attack aircraft group is returning!"
It's fast! Mo Yan raised his eyes and looked at the wall clock on the wall of the tactical communications room, which had not been even ten minutes before Princeton released the attack aircraft group.
Although Princeton's combat efficiency had been experienced for more than a month before, the deep sea facing this mission was after all responsible for the disappearance of three merchant ships and two shipwives, and the combat area was already on the edge of the offshore range, very close to the middle sea two hundred nautical miles offshore.
You must know that the deep sea born in the offshore sea and the deep sea born in the middle sea are completely two different concepts!
"Is there any reaction from the deep-sea fleet in the other two directions?"
Mo Yan leisurely lifted his coffee and took a sip, then used a red marker pen to draw a large red cross on the symbol of the two deep-sea fleets representing the northeast.
The encirclement has been broken, and all that remains is to strike at the weakest deep-sea fleet in the southwest first, and finally use the Little Pearl Islands to involve the two deep-sea fleets in the southeast. Pull away the distance, use the island to divide it, and then hit the carrier-based aircraft to prioritize the elimination of the two deep-sea light mothers, and the last remaining deep sea is the meat on the anvil and the meal on the plate, and it all depends on the mood to destroy it.
"There was no response, and they continued to move forward in their previous encirclement posture at a speed of twenty-two knots."
After the two deep-sea fleets in the northeast were wiped out, Princeton immediately dispatched the Banshees, who were originally responsible for reconnaissance in the northeast, to the southeast, so that the reconnaissance force in the southeast was maintained at the size of three Banshees.
For aircraft carrier mothers, the accurate grasp of battlefield information is their greatest advantage in facing the enemy.
"No response? That's not right! Since they appeared at the same time to encircle, there must be means of mutual contact, and now the fleet in one of the directions has been completely wiped out, and the fleets in the remaining two directions have not reacted at all, how is it possible! Mo Yan put down his coffee and stared closely at the tactical charts in the Sissel Sea, constantly deducing tactics in his mind, calculating the possibility of various unexpected events.
"How much ammunition do you have for carrier-based aircraft?" The more Mo Yan looked at the direction of the encirclement of the Little Pearl Islands and the deep-sea fleet, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
"The carrier-based aircraft has a total of five base bomb loads, and the wave of attacks just now was very successful and did not cause waste, and now there are still four bases left."
Miss Princeton has always been very confident in her ability to control carrier-based aircraft, and destroying two bathyscaping fleets with one base amount of ammunition is just a basic operation.
"Do you have four bases of ammunition left...... Ignore the deep-sea fleet in the southwest, let the attack aircraft group that is returning to the sea immediately turn around, and the three funeral banshees in the southeast will cover up and directly attack the deep-sea main fleet in the southeast, I think they seem to be hiding something, there should be some premeditation that we don't know about! ”
Mo Yan thought about it again and again, and still felt that the behavior of these deep-sea fleets was too weird, since they were encircled, it definitely proved that there was a deep sea with basic wisdom to command it, but among these deep-sea fleets that appeared at present, there was no deep sea above the low-level at all, and there was definitely a problem here.
"Directly attack the opponent's main force? I see! Are Quincy and I going to continue southwest? ”
Princeton is very good at combat, but there is some lack of overall view of the battlefield, after all, she is only a light mother, and most of the roles she has played in previous operations are escorts, escorts, anti-submarine and so on.
"Go on! It's always a good idea to keep a distance from the opposing main force, so you can release the remaining four torches and cooperate with the Banshee in the southwest to attack the Deep Sea Fleet in the southwest, and release the remaining five Banshees to guard the airspace where you are, just in case. ”
Mo Yan stared at the small Pearl Islands in the middle of the Sissel Sea, if the enemy had any other tricks, I am afraid that most of them would attack from here.
"Roger! The attack aircraft group has been turned and is rushing to the position of the enemy's main fleet, and it is expected to enter the attack area in seven minutes, and I am flying the second wave of attack aircraft and alert aircraft. ”
"Huh? Wrong! The enemy seems to have discovered us. The two light mothers of the enemy's main fleet suddenly began to fly carrier-based aircraft, in the southwest direction, and they were coming towards us! ”
For the first time, Princeton's words lost the indifference of being in control.
"Immediately lower the flight altitude of the three Banshees in charge of reconnaissance and intercept them!" Mo Yan decisively ordered.
"It can't be intercepted, there are too many of them, more than fifty deep-sea carrier-based aircraft have broken through the interception network of the Banshee, and are heading towards us at high speed, and it is expected that there will be contact with us in eleven minutes."
Even the lowest-level deep-sea three-stage Type I light mother has a carrying capacity of up to fifty-four aircraft, and two light mothers are one hundred and eight. Even if the Banshee was the best fighter, it would not be able to intercept more than thirty-five times the number of enemy planes of its own.
"Is it a change-up tactic! Where did our attack aircraft swarm go? ”
"Our attack aircraft group will arrive in the target sea area in three minutes!"
Wrong! How can there be a king for a king? Careless omission...... Where did I go wrong? I don't have much time left, and I have to make a judgment right away.
Mo Yan stared at the chart stubbornly, and suddenly ordered: "Immediately transfer back the three Banshees responsible for interception, and at the same time give up the reconnaissance and follow-up attacks in the southwest direction, transfer back the Banshee in charge of reconnaissance, and use the four torch torpedo planes used for attacks to intercept enemy aircraft groups, I remember that the torch torpedo planes also have a certain air supremacy, right!" ”
"The Banshee is tailgating the enemy swarm, and has achieved twenty-seven victories so far, are you sure you want to withdraw?"
The Banshee with a command value of up to fifteen points is completely insoluble for those deep-sea fighters, and three Banshees have shot down a full twenty-seven deep-sea fighters in less than five minutes.
In Princeton's opinion, if she can continue to pursue, with her superb control skills, this group of deep-sea aircraft will be able to shoot down at least more than sixty deep-sea fighters before reaching her own defense circle, and when the time comes, with the existing six Banshees and four torches in the defense circle, she will definitely be able to easily wipe out all of this wave of deep-sea fighters.
"Sure! Please withdraw the three Banshees immediately! Other than that...... Please make sure that our attack aircraft group also withdraws immediately after a wave of attacks on the enemy's main force, and reserve at least three bases of ammunition load, I feel that the enemy's rear hand is about to appear. Mo Yan patrolled the tactical charts for a long time, and finally focused his attention on the Little Pearl Islands.
"The enemy's main fleet is very dispersed, and a wave of saturation attacks cannot completely destroy it."
The attack aircraft group controlled by Princeton consisting of ten TBM torpedo planes and fifteen torch torpedo planes were already able to see the enemy's main formation from a distance.
"My Miss Magician, your heart must be too big! Our own camp is in danger, and you still want to completely destroy the enemy's main force? Don't force too much, my only request is to knock out at least two of the enemy's main fleet, and what you can do is up to your personal performance, remember! You can only use one cardinal ammo! ”
Mo Yan is really happy, this ship girl of mine is only afraid that she is a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, she wants to be perfect in everything she does, neat and tidy, the family is neat, what should I do with 0v0?
"Your Excellency, Commander! I applied to lift the restriction force field, and the two white-skinned light mothers also wanted to bully me, which was unbearable, and my uncle and aunt couldn't bear it! I've never been so aggrieved when I've faced the deep sea Ryūjō! ”
Miss Magician was a little anxious after discovering that no matter how subtle her operation was, she could not completely destroy the main fleet of the deep sea. Immediately, it was like Mo Yan asking for the restriction of the force field to be released and let her play freely. It has been maintained for more than a month to destroy the enemy in a wave, so it can be interrupted on such a wave of deep-sea fleets? I can't bear it.
"No! We can't expose our strength too early now, and we must maintain relative strength before we have our own town guards, otherwise it is likely to cause an imbalance of regional forces and panic in the federal government. ”
Mo Yan rejected Princeton's proposal to lift the restrictions, and the intensity of these deep seas was far from being able to cope with it, and there was no need to take some unnecessary risks.
"Then after you go back this time, Commander, you have to make me an exclusive food, and only make it for me to eat alone!"
After discovering that something could not be done, Miss Magician immediately switched in and changed the conditions.
“...... OK! ”
After Mo Yan was silent for a while, he still agreed to Miss Magician's conditions.
"Yay! Thank you, Commander! I feel like my whole body is full of strength now, and there is nothing to be afraid of, crickets deep in the sea, give me death!! ”
After reaching the sky above the main fleet of the deep sea, the attack aircraft group immediately accelerated into a supersonic state and dived down towards the deep sea fleet.
"You seem to have said something terrible! My Miss Magician! ”
Mo Yan shook his head, took a sip of the coffee that was already cold again, and looked at the small pearl islands in the center of the tactical chart.
"Will this be the last hand?"
