Chapter Eighty-Six: The Allies Will Win
The anti-aircraft artillery continued to attack the group of planes marked by the Great Day, and similarly, the group soon came to the sky above the AF Island, and rows of air-to-ground bombs were dropped.
Airports, command posts, tubing...... All of them were destroyed in high-explosive shells, turned into purgatory, and the firepower of the anti-aircraft batteries became increasingly scarce, and less than ten planes were shot down.
"Call AF Island, Call AF Island, please reply if you receive it, please reply when you receive it......" Next to a bombed-out anti-aircraft gun, a radio communication device kept calling.
The anti-aircraft gun was the target of the first wave of bombings, and the machine gunner and the bomber all died directly. The only communicator struggled, his mutilated hands gripping at the dirt on the ground, to the communications device, which happened to be protected by bunker.
"Please reply to AF Island, please reply to AF Island......"
The liaison on the radio communication side was probably about to give up, when a twisted, mutilated hand pressed against it.
"This is AF Island, the enemy aircraft group has completed the first wave of attacks and is preparing to return home, AF Island has been blown up, over......"
"The AF Island fleet has been received, and the Allies will win! over。 ”
The correspondent smiled, leaning back in the bunker, his lower body completely gone, one hand gone, and his whole body as tattered as a rag doll.
He took out a cigarette from the inner village with his remaining hand, lit it with difficulty, the smoke slowly rose into the air, he looked at the sun that had just risen, and smiled, this was the most beautiful sun he had ever seen.
"Allied ...... Winning ......"
Half of the burning cigarette fell on him, and was immediately extinguished by the blood-stained garment.
……
"The AF Island fleet has received information and will arrive at the enemy's First Fleet within an hour, and we will disrupt the enemy's position with our lives so that you can attack at the best possible time. over。 ”
"This is the Yorktown Fleet, good luck to you, and the Allies will win, over." Levi, who was hundreds of nautical miles away, replied.
The Yorktown fleet has been at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, and the heavy dive bombers with a full ton of armor-piercing high-explosive bombs fly very slowly, and because of this, they are also the last trump card.
Why would the Allies carry out such a plan that looks like a headshot? In fact, the enemy's intelligence has long been completely in the hands of the Allies, and even the information about what time the enemy planes will take off and what time they will return to refuel has been clearly seen by the Allies.
It was the moment when the Allies were ready to land after returning home with the Axis planes bombing AF Island, the most embarrassing moment of the decisive battle, when they could neither attack nor defend.
An hour later, it was half past seven in the morning.
At this moment, the planes that took off from the AF island arrived at the First Fleet of the Axis countries one after another.
"This is the AF Island group, the enemy aircraft carrier fleet has been spotted, we will delay until the moment you arrive, until the last plane."
"Allies, victory!"
The captain of the AF Island torpedo crew threw a cigar out of the window, held the joystick with both hands, and stared at the enemy aircraft carrier.
Because the torpedo planes need to drop torpedoes, they have always been flying at a low altitude within 100 meters, and the moment they see the enemy aircraft carrier, the enemy forces also see them.
Numerous naval guns, as well as fighter groups dedicated to guarding the aircraft carrier, attacked the Allied pilots.
They were the first to attack the enemy's aircraft carriers, like death squads, waiting for them in front of them was the enemy's most prosperous posture, the Allies at this time a total of more than 30 planes one after another, they were indeed greeted by more than 50 fighters specialized in dealing with air units, as well as aircraft carriers, frigates, and destroyers with hundreds of heavy guns.
Hell in front and home in the rear.
Then, if you go, there will be no time in the future.
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"
In an instant, the first wave of the Allied forces lost most of their 12 torpedo fighter formations, and the unparalleled net of fire tore them apart in a very short time, and huge fireballs burst into the air.
"Allies, victory!"
The torpedo plane accelerated and headed straight for the aircraft carrier, the cannon burst its fuel tank, and the torpedo plane, which was on fire, finally dropped a fish underwater. Then the entire plane slapped into the sea, detonating a skyrocketing fireball.
The planes of the first wave of AF were quickly torn apart by naval guns and enemy fighters.
However, the planes that flew from AF Island one after another continued as if to launch suicidal attacks, one after another, and rigidly delayed the rhythm of the carrier-based aircraft of the enemy aircraft carrier, which lasted for more than an hour.
Until, when the last Allied fighter plane hit the tail under siege by the enemy, the pilot immediately turned around, and the flaming plane headed straight for the aircraft carrier Kaga.
The pilot turned on the radio and sent out the final message.
"The AF Island Air Force has all died, and we have fulfilled our promise, dragging our feet until the last aircraft remains, Lieutenant Mead, and we report back at the end. over。 ”
"Boom!" Eventually, the fighter plane was completely reduced to a fireball in the air, but the wreckage still crashed towards the Kaga.
However, the plane, which had lost its pilot, still deviated from its path and did not crash into the aircraft carrier.
"It's our turn next, a total of 32 torpedo planes of the USS Hornet have discovered the enemy fleet, and we will attack directly until the entire army is annihilated. over。 ”
In the sky, 32 torpedo planes began to appear, and this time, this group of torpedo planes, which were not escorted by any fighters, and the heavy torpedo planes like wild boars launched a death charge.
Speaking of the side of the Axis as the enemy, they did not detect the Allied aircraft carriers at all in advance, and completely lost to the Allied forces in terms of intelligence.
After all, their main plan was to occupy AF Island, so they sent half of their planes at the beginning, a total of nearly 108 planes, to bomb AF Island.
At this time, it is just the time for the planes that bombed AF Island to return home, and at this time, the planes with less than 100 planes left have been completely exhausted, and the fuel in the fuel tank is only enough for less than 45 minutes of flight. And the recovery of these nearly 100 aircraft will require non-stop occupation of the decks of all aircraft carriers for 40 minutes.
However, at this time, due to the continuous onslaught of the Allied forces, the Axis aircraft carriers needed to constantly take off and recover fighters to resist the Allied attack.
Again, worse news reached the Axis powers, whose reconnaissance planes had spotted the Allied Yorktown.
At this moment, the Axis Commander-in-Chief's choice of death was to choose to give up the more than 100 planes that had returned from the AF bombing, and watch them fall into the sea with almost 100% mortality, so as to exchange for the opportunity to take off fighter jets immediately to attack or intercept the Yorktown group.
It is better to recover these nearly 100 precious planes first, hold on for more than half an hour, and then take off the carrier-based plane. Betting on the fortunes of the country generally bets that the enemy's main bombers will not arrive just in time for more than half an hour.
On the one hand, there is a 100 percent loss of nearly 100 aircraft, and on the other side, there is a bet on the fortune of the country, and the probability of this 55 is opened, and the Allied bombers will not arrive within half an hour.
