The aircraft carriers "Shozuru" and "Zuizuru" were the main aircraft carriers of the Japanese army, with a full load displacement of more than 32,000 tons. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 In addition to a total of 84 fighters, the aircraft carrier also has six twin 127-mm anti-aircraft guns and 12 twin 25-mm anti-aircraft guns for anti-aircraft fire.

It's just that compared to the deck of an aircraft carrier with a length of 257 meters and a width of 26 meters, such a little anti-aircraft fire is undoubtedly very weak. In particular, the flat deck of an aircraft carrier is undoubtedly the best target. If a dive bomber attacks an aircraft carrier, the hit rate will be quite high.

In order to ensure their own safety, the aircraft carriers "Xianghe" and "Zuihe" did not stay together, but were protected by one light cruiser and two destroyers, respectively, and were divided into two formations. Two aircraft carriers, about twenty kilometers apart.

The aircraft carrier "Shozuru" was protected by the light cruiser "Kawauchi", the destroyer "Asahio" and the destroyer "Manshio". The aircraft carrier Zuihe was protected by the light cruiser Shentong, the destroyer Dashio, and the destroyer Arrashio.

The light cruiser 'Kawauchi' and the light cruiser 'Shentong' both belong to the 'Kawauchi-class' light cruisers. A light cruiser of this class with a displacement of five thousand six hundred tons. It is armed with 7 single 140 mm main guns, two single 80 mm anti-aircraft guns and 10 twin 25 mm anti-aircraft guns.

And those destroyers belong to the same 'Chaochao-class' destroyers. The number of auctions was 2,400 tons, and the armament consisted of three twin 127-mm guns, two twin-mounted 25-mm anti-aircraft guns, and eight single-mounted 25-mm anti-aircraft guns.

In the face of the carrier-based aircraft of the imminent Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, these light cruisers and destroyers firmly guarded the aircraft carrier in the center. It's just that the aircraft carrier is too big. And their anti-aircraft fire is not very strong. This makes their anti-aircraft fire net, full of holes. Once it is attacked by the carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, it will be very difficult to resist it.

"Your Excellency, the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese people is only twenty kilometers away from us." A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa.

Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa nodded: "Send a telegram to all the officers and soldiers to tell them that the attack of the Shina people is imminent." As the officers and men of the heroic Imperial Navy of the Great Day*Hon, we must bravely fight for His Majesty the Emperor and fight to the death against the people of Shina to the end. Amaterasu will bless us, and victory will be ours. ”

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The construction of the aircraft carrier "Shozuru" replied Mashowen Daisa.

Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa knew that this time he was afraid that he would die for a lifetime. However, since there is no escape. They have to fight. Only in this way may there be a glimmer of life.

The officers and men of the aircraft carrier squadron of the Japanese Navy Task Force also knew the current situation, and one by one, with the encouragement of Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa, they rekindled their fighting spirit.

Of course, the situation of the Japanese navy is actually nothing more than a trapped beast. In the absence of any choice, they could only risk their lives and fight the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Only in this way may he be able to save his own life. Otherwise, it's a dead end.

"Brethren. Finally caught the big fish. The aircraft carrier of the Japanese * himself was caught up by us. Those guys from the 1st Brigade, who had set off an hour before us, had already inflicted heavy damage on the shelling formation of the Japanese himself. However, now we are able to take out the aircraft carriers of the Japanese * himself, which is simply God helping us! The captain of the 2nd Brigade of the Carrier-based Aircraft Unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army laughed.

"Next, I order half of the planes of the 1st Fighter Squadron, the 3rd Dive Bomber Squadron, and the 5th Torpedo Squadron to attack the Japanese aircraft carrier 'Xianghe' and its formation. The remaining fighters attacked the aircraft carrier Zuihe and its formation. I have only one request, and that is to sink all these battleships of the Japanese * himself, especially those two aircraft carriers. The captain of the 2nd Brigade commanded.

"Don't worry, boss, we will definitely kill the aircraft carrier of the Japanese * himself, so that they will not come back!"

"Yes! They actually dared to come to Thailand to join in the war between us and the Japanese army, isn't that looking for death? Since they are actively seeking death, then we have to fulfill them. ”

The squadron leaders below said one after another. Everyone is elated that the Japanese Navy has taken the initiative to seek death! After the formation of the carrier-based aircraft unit, they have always been able to only use the Japanese transport ships to train their hands, and before the aircraft carriers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army returned, they had no way to attack the Japanese navy at all. But who knows, the Admiralty of Japan* himself is fighting the Americans in the Pacific Ocean, and actually took the initiative to run to his death, isn't that self-defeating?

After the order to attack was given, the entire 2nd Group's hundreds of carrier-based planes immediately divided into two groups and swooped down on the two Japanese aircraft carriers.

"Fire! Shot down the plane of the China. "The commander of the air defense of the Japanese army, shouted loudly.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The twin 127-mm anti-aircraft guns of the aircraft carriers 'Shohe' and 'Zuihe' began shelling. This large-caliber anti-aircraft gun with a firing range of more than ten kilometers. And, it's extremely powerful. Once hit, any fighter plane will be destroyed immediately. Even a heavy bomber with four rounds could not withstand it.

Of course, this large-caliber anti-aircraft gun, albeit powerful. However, the rate of fire was also very slow. The effect is often stronger than the actual meaning.

One after another, anti-aircraft artillery shells exploded in the air, leaving behind clouds of black smoke.

The carrier-based aircraft group of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army scattered in all directions at once, as if frightened. After all, when being shelled by the anti-aircraft guns of the Japanese themselves, if they maintain a dense formation, they will be killing themselves.

"Attack, first destroy the escort battleships of the Japanese * themselves, and then concentrate on attacking their aircraft carriers." The squadron leader of the 3rd Dive Bomber Squadron ordered.

The target of their attack was the Japanese aircraft carrier 'Xianghe' and its formation.

Faced with the aircraft carrier "Xianghe", which was protected in the center by a light cruiser and two destroyers, they did not directly attack the "Xianghe" aircraft carrier. Because in that case, the attacking fighters will be exposed to the enemy's powerful anti-aircraft fire and suffer huge losses. If you can deal with the escort warship first, and then deal with the aircraft carrier in the middle, it will be relatively much easier.
