Chapter 974: Attack according to the original goal

"The little devil is served! Brothers, let's go! Xue Ceping shouted loudly while turning on the engine of the landline.

The roar of the banshee's jet engine immediately overshadowed the other tones on the carrier.

The sound grew louder and louder, and the air around the vibration that was scorched by the spout deformed and distorted even more.

With a muffled sound on the upper deck of the aircraft carrier, the banshee on the runway rushed away from the Midway-class aircraft carrier like a projectile, with a cloud of smoke and an afterimage pulled out by orange flames.

The catapult developed jointly by the Huaxia and the Germans on the basis of the Kitty Hawk drawings has not yet succeeded. However, although the Banshee is a jet fighter, its weight is not very exaggerated, and it can take off on an Essex-class aircraft carrier, let alone a Midway-class aircraft. It's just that the handling performance is more difficult to grasp, especially for take-off and landing on the aircraft carrier, so that the Huaxia aircraft carrier has not been fully refitted.

But this is not difficult to defeat Colonel Xue Ceping, who already has 34 aircraft in hand, and has the first ace of HNA.

Xue Ceping, who once made a splash in the Battle of Cape Roca, secretly regarded Liu Cuigang, who already had 39 aircraft in the Air Force, as his target and has been serving on the front line of battle.

This is a rare opportunity for a big war, and Xue Ceping, who is piloting a new type of fighter, is ambitious to catch up with Liu Cuigang, and even catch up.

In the case that the quality of Japanese pilots is getting worse and worse, it is not a dream to hit five planes in a row, and even many elite pilots of Hainan Airlines plan to complete the trump card leap in this attack.

With the blessings and self-encouragement of their companions, more and more banshees rushed out of the deck, gathered in formation in the air, and rushed together to the direction of the Japanese aircraft carrier formation that had locked the coordinates.

……

"Enemy attack!" Almost as soon as Yamamoto's order to prepare for the attack was given, the air defense sirens suddenly sounded over the Japanese aircraft carrier group that remained in the rear.

The clouds suddenly broke through in the sky not far away, and one after another Chinese fighters swooped down, rushing straight to the Japanese aircraft carriers below.

On the decks of several aircraft carriers, the attackers and bombarders who were about to take the lead in the attack were starting their engines on the runways and preparing to take off one after another, while there were still preparations in the vicinity, and ammunition and fuel were piled up in many places. There was no evacuation.

The situation was urgent, and the 18 escort fighters over the aircraft carrier formation immediately met it.

The Japanese and Americans fought each other's aircraft carriers, and they had long learned to be obedient in sneak attacks on aircraft carriers again and again. Knowing that their own radar was insufficient, they strengthened the number of reconnaissance aircraft and escort fighters scattered around.

But these still can't stop the continuous downward rush of hundreds of Chinese fighters.

Even if the Japanese reacted quickly. The ship attack and ship bombardment on the deck were quickly towed, and the runway was vacated for the fighters to take off first to meet the enemy, but the shrill sound of the Sky Raiders swooping at high speed with bombs rubbing the air was more like the death howls of the banshees accompanying the flight, which had been pressed to the ears.

"Boom!" Heavy aerial bombs still exploded in the aircraft carrier group.

The Yunlong won the bid first, and a 453-kilogram bombshell cut a large hole in its middle deck, after carrying a Gale fighter jet that was rapidly taxiing for take-off caused the ammunition and fuel it was carrying to detonate. Completely blocked the take-off and landing of fighters behind.

The Akagi also received a heavy bomb, but it was in the stern, and although it caught fire, it did not have much impact on the deck and took off as usual.

The Cloud Eagle, which had dodged the bomb attack on its deck for the first time, was not lucky, and a bombshell exploded close to its port side waterline, and the brittle armor was torn open a large hole in it at once. But that's not enough to fatally hurt it, which is still a behemoth.

However, the Bailu-class Manchu destroyer was directly hit by a 907-kilogram bomb. Quickly sank and became the first victim of the Japanese decisive battle fleet.

The take-off formation was lined up on the Chitose aircraft carrier behind, and 30 standing carrier-based aircraft were crowded on the deck. And ammunition and fuel were piled up in every corner. When a 453-kilogram bomb exploded, rolling flames through these munitions and fuel, the fate of the Chitose as another casualty was sealed.

"Damn! It's a little late, or I'll be able to beat a few more! Seeing that the first round of attacks under the surprise attack did not have the expected results, Zhang Leshui, who was still dissatisfied, shook his head regretfully.

If the Japanese had launched a surprise attack while they were resupplying, I am afraid that there would have been a greater gain in the sound of ammunition and fuel.

It's a pity that the shrewd Japanese didn't give Huaxia too many opportunities.

Although the Japanese reconnaissance planes did not detect the Huaxia fighter group hiding at high altitude earlier, they also bought the Japanese a little time to defend. The Japanese still reacted quickly and quickly organized a counterattack.

More Japanese carrier-based fighters took off to meet the Huaxia fighter group.

The fire of anti-aircraft artillery weaves a web everywhere. It also made up for the air loopholes in which Chinese fighters came and went freely.

Perhaps with the full support of the base, the Huaxia Navy can quickly lock the coordinates of the Japanese aircraft carrier, launch a surprise attack one step earlier, and obtain greater combat achievements. But Meng Xiang, who still had the idea of sharpening the Huaxia Navy, only provided little base help for this naval raid.

Meng Xiang firmly believes that the training and exercises that have been piled up with a large amount of materials and funds on weekdays are enough for Huaxia HNA to cross the threshold of the Japanese and rank among the world's first-class. No longer afraid of more challenges in the future.

Meng Xiang, who has always had confidence in Huaxia HNA, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news and canceled part of the base's back-up preparations.

Huaxia HNA was still able to detect the enemy one step earlier by relying on its own strength, and decisively preemptively attacked, so that the battle situation was already extremely favorable to Huaxia.

……

"Yaga! Where did the China plane come from? The green tendons on Yamamoto's fifty-six head were exposed, and he shouted angrily.

The surprise attack in China caused a lot of losses to the Japanese aircraft carriers, and in the face of the continued threat of hundreds of fighters, the aircraft carrier formations in the rear began to call for support.

Now the formation of queues, generally battleship formations break forward in close combat, and aircraft carriers hide in the rear to throw small planes.

In order to maximize the record, Yamamoto made a little adjustment.

The fragile and wounded carriers were grouped together, led by the damaged and incomplete Akagi, still cowering in the rear. The armored Taiho and the Shinano, which were covered in armor on the deck, could withstand ordinary attacks, and Yamamoto placed them in the middle of the entire elongated fleet, leaning towards the Diaoyu Islands.

This will allow the fighters to shorten the time to return to the sea and replenish, and increase the support for the warships ahead.

In this era when the theory of aircraft carriers is not very mature, there are not many authorities to point out that a certain tactic is wrong. Yamamoto, who was very confident in the armor and air protection of Taiho and Shinano, was determined to take a gamble, and besides, there was a battleship formation in front of him, and the two aircraft carriers in the middle should be safe.

Perhaps his calculation was correct, Huaxia's air raid did not go to these two aircraft carriers under the protection of the improved anti-aircraft fire network, but went straight to the rear to bully the old, weak, sick and disabled.

This annoyed Yamamoto, who was extremely disappointed with Japanese intelligence and reconnaissance.

The Japanese aircraft carrier east of Chiwei Yu is the Ryukyu Islands controlled by the Japanese in the east, the vast ocean in the north and south, the combat radius of ordinary fighters is not so far, and the closest land airfield to China is only in the direction of Taiwan, which is south-west to the west. For the Huaxia fleet that is preparing to attack Keelung, it is always paying attention to the situation of the Huaxia fighters in this direction.

But at least 100 warplanes flew overhead, and the Japanese intelligence lines lurking in Taiwan and the Japanese reconnaissance planes patrolling everywhere were unaware of it?

"With so many planes flying by, you can always hear a little movement, maybe not from Taiwan. Judging from some of the fighters dispatched by Huaxia, will there be a Huaxia aircraft carrier nearby? Staff Officer Yu Heng reminded on the side.

Although China dispatched many new fighters, the Japanese, who had suffered several losses on the mainland, could still tell that this was a fighter of the Navy.

"Half an hour ago, we got information that the two aircraft carriers in Keelung Port are still cruising nearby, where did the aircraft carrier that the people attacked come from?" Inoue Narumi frowned beside her.

This decisive battle is related to the future fate of Japan, and Inoue Narumi, who was transferred back to China to teach, was unbearable, found her old friend Yamamoto, and decided to participate in this decisive battle in person as a staff officer, and fortunately escaped the catastrophe of Etajima.

"The people of China already have 5 aircraft carriers near the island, 3 off the coast of China, 3 more near Australia, Southeast Asia and the South China Sea, which is already 11 aircraft carriers, and depending on the scale of the attack, it is at least 2, or even 3. And they still have aircraft carriers? Narumi Inoue, who was still muttering, suddenly raised her head and said in surprise.

Yamamoto wrung his fingers white, but he didn't say anything.

Having just given the offensive order, he now had a choice to make. Use the fighters that are taking off on the Shinano and Daho for the rescue of the rear aircraft carriers, or go to the front to give Huaxia a surprise attack.

Of course, since the Huaxia people have touched the rear aircraft carriers, there is no talk of a surprise attack, but under the strong attack, does Huaxia have the ability to resist?

If you go to rescue the aircraft carriers in the rear, can you successfully find the aircraft carriers that Huaxia is hiding and don't know the location, and concentrate on destroying them?

The brains of the supernatural intelligence stood still for a while at the rapidly rotating Yamamoto Fifty-six, and finally exhaled and shouted, "Attack according to the original goal!"
