Chapter 152: Step by Step
Suspended on the deck of the aircraft carrier in mid-air, fifteen blue-gray carrier-based bombers immediately sorted.
When the people and the admiral in the audience saw it, their spirits were lifted.
One side of the exercise did not make any major moves for half an hour, slowly drawing up nautical charts, while the other side was locked in a certain sea area by a high-altitude reconnaissance plane, and wanted to get out of the predicament, but did not know what to do for a while.
Jiang Yan calculated, in the second round, Lexington was resupplied once, and then there were ten bombers in the encounter, and thirty-five of them were attacked today, and those who were still on standby could fight at least once.
The picture of the mechanical screen has cut from the port of the Admiral to the movement of the carrier-based aircraft.
Fifteen bombers soon arrived over the current position of the Jiang fleet, and Jiang Yan ordered Oklahoma: "Follow the carrier-based bombers across the middle of the sea and reach a reef group in the enemy's territorial waters." ”
"Yes. ”
At the same time, Lexington also simply mobilized high-altitude reconnaissance planes, broke away from one-third of the fifteen planes left in the enemy's territorial waters, and conducted a detailed reconnaissance of the target reef group in front of the Jiang fleet.
The other ten are still hovering and staring at the other reef groups, and if there is a slight movement, they will lower their altitude and test it.
I am not afraid of being destroyed by enemy ships, but I am afraid that there is no movement and I have to search the reef group one by one.
The sound of gasping in the audience sounded, the aircraft carrier mother is really a strategic-level combat power, this is just the simplest use, and it forms a scene of catching turtles in an urn.
Spectators who know the hidden position of the defender's fleet naturally know that if this continues, the Jiang fleet will "catch" the opponent in the second reef group.
The defending fleet, without the slightest source of information, is like a fleet that is unilaterally fighting at night, and not only that, but the enemy also has detailed charts of the sea area in which it is operating, and it is only a matter of time before they are found.
Really.
Five high-altitude reconnaissance planes lowered their altitude and shuttled back and forth in the first reef group, but did not find any enemy ship targets, and soon took off to the second reef group.
For the sake of prudence, Jiang Yan did not even let the Jiang fleet pass through the reefs, and the other two high-altitude reconnaissance planes used for surveillance did not withdraw.
When a high-altitude reconnaissance plane flew slowly past the top of the reef, seemingly not sparing even a small shadow position, Nas Burt could no longer hold his breath after being aggrieved.
It's too bullying.
Obviously, it was a high-altitude reconnaissance plane, but at this time, it flew as low as it was above people's heads, and it was easier to fight than a water reconnaissance plane.
It's simply a naked act of provocation.
I couldn't help it if I didn't see it with my own eyes before, but now I saw it with my own eyes, and I didn't think that my own fleet could avoid the search, so I immediately came to preemptively.
Bang bang bang.
Three high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft were shot down almost simultaneously.
Port Admiralty.
Lexington did not stop drawing the charts, and remained silent, the governor had actually given her an order according to the rules.
Jiang Yan had been in contact with Oklahoma for his vision and perception, and he also had a rough judgment of the sound of shelling in the reef group, and immediately ordered all the fleet members to move.
At the same time, the two planes that were searching for them quickly rose up, and together with the two planes that were originally monitoring at high altitudes, the surveillance area was reduced.
Shout!
The carrier-based bomber flew through mid-air, found the target at once, and dived directly down to a reef.
The reef seas in the Imperial Exercise Sea have the same similarity within a certain area, as encountered in the sea outside.
That is to say, in a certain sea area, the height, shape and size of the reef group are not much different, the reef group may be relatively low, poor concealment, or relatively high, and the shape is strange, high concealment.
The reef sea that is currently being fought against is the latter.
Fifteen bombers were only halfway down and dropped bombs on the target sea area, and then they had to turn back to a high altitude, and the hit rate was naturally not very good.
This is one of the reasons why Nas Burt Yingjiang's fleet is unlucky.
Fortunately, this is a dive bomber, not a torpedo bomber, and the characteristics of a range attack are shown.
Boom Boom!
The flames, the shattered boulders, and the waves blew up the hidden part of the defending fleet.
Although the actual damage is insufficient, the victory is strong enough.
Oklahoma could find its target even without the Commander's guidance, and the four ships were outside the bombardment range, with a slight left and right fork, and the muzzles began to adjust.
Fantasy swooped straight into the bombardment range of the surging waves, plunged into the water just to avoid a boulder falling from a reef break, and found a few shifting targets in the chaos.
In this situation, it is not easy to release a torpedo, and if you don't get it right, you will be hit by a falling rock and explode in vain, so you have to chase it.
Jiang Yan estimated a little, and asked Oklahoma to convey it: "Counterattack, turn the muzzle to the right by 55 corners, and fire directly." ”
"Yes. ”
The ship's guns for the counterattack have two types of attack, which were discovered during a month of training.
Normal Assault and Cluster Artillery.
The cluster cannon is more powerful and has an extremely fast rate of fire, once it is aimed at the opponent, it is impossible to dodge, and the price is a little condensation time, which seems to be the attack method of the deep sea habitat in the depths of the Lisli habitat.
As soon as the ship's guns were in their hands, the direction was immediately turned to the right to the exact position, which took less than a second.
Rodney, Oklahoma, Helena, none of them could have made such quick artillery adjustments.
Rumble!
The flames of the explosion suddenly rose again.
"Crush a light cruiser. ”
Hearing the report, Jiang Yan's eyes lit up, and it was indeed right to chase the direction of the fantasies, but this distance was actually correctly estimated.
The rest of the enemy ships won't be too far away.
"Scatter!"
"Yes. ”
The guns of Oklahoma and Helena were slightly adjusted to the same position, and they fired at the same time, and dozens of shells began to pull apart in mid-air due to the same muzzle when firing, and the slight angle caused by the guns firing in inconsistent positions.
By the time the target area is reached, it has already been scattered and covered the area.
"A heavy cruiser in the middle of the break. ”
"Break the light cruiser. ”
The results received were mixed, and with the defeat of a light cruiser, at least three layers of combat power were reduced.
Lexington did not report it, but no matter how bad the bombing effect was, it could have cut at least one or two layers.
Jiang Yan immediately said: "16, go and call back the fantasy, no more torpedoes, use artillery bombardment for pursuit operations." ”
"Yes. ”
Three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, and one destroyer.
The pursuit was routed.
In the first battle of the third round, the Jiang fleet took action step by step, directly recovering the disadvantages brought by the reef group and gradually gaining an advantage.
This will be even more noticeable once you get to the night fight.
・・・
Second battle during the day.
As an attacker, Nasbeth has no chance of admitting defeat, otherwise he will not be able to get a point in the daytime battle.
I thought that the Jiang fleet would make concessions early, but the situation was a little unexpected.
After waiting for a long time, the more I thought about it, the more nervous I became.
Could it be that the Jiang fleet regarded itself as a great threat, and had to win two battles during the day, and another one in the night battle, and end the battle on the first day?
No matter how bad it is, even if you lose to yourself in consecutive night battles, there is still an encounter on the next day to make up for this second point.
Think about it, it's possible!
Nass Burt suddenly felt a little uncertain in his heart, and ordered the original pretentious fleet to take the initiative to attack.
