readx; In order to rush into service before the super battleships of China and the two countries were put into service, the construction work of Montana was very fast, and the design was soon finalized and started, but with the outbreak of the Pacific War, it was later determined from intelligence that China did not build super battleships, so the construction of Montana-class battleships was suspended, and in 1944, the construction of two of them was completely suspended, and the other two were also slowed down. Whether it can be built in the end is another matter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, the Americans are not stupid, they have now realized that aircraft carriers are the core factor of future naval warfare, and the construction and service of China's Tianshan-class aircraft carriers made the Americans extremely surprised, so they quickly began the design and construction of the Midway-class large armored aircraft carriers, but the Americans do not know that China has two other super aircraft carriers under construction, although the Americans know that China has two large aircraft carriers under construction, but they only think that the follow-up ship of the Tianshan-class aircraft carrier, I didn't expect that it was a super aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, and I didn't know that China has now started the design and preliminary construction of a first-class super aircraft carrier.

As a result, the U.S. Navy's supercarriers are designed and built one step behind the Chinese Navy, and this step will form a huge gap when jets are launched in the future.

The different strategies of the navies of various countries have led to different shipbuilding plans, but in any case, these seven large cruisers of the Chinese Navy are the main ships of the Chinese Navy.

But then again, these large cruisers were positioned as aircraft carriers and escort ships in the Chinese Navy, and their anti-aircraft firepower was even more formidable than that of the four battleships, and the decks and bridges were almost streaked with countless anti-aircraft guns of all calibers.

The main guns on the Emperor also stopped firing at this time, because when the main guns fired, they would set off a huge muzzle wind and waves, and the huge muzzle wind and waves were a fatal threat to the external air defense artillery crew, so the main guns would not fire when the capital ship was carrying out air defense stations.

Countless 40 mm anti-aircraft guns and 127 mm and 20 mm anti-aircraft guns sprayed shells to form a huge barrage on the Emperor, so that any fighter that tried to get close was destroyed by this barrage.

However, since he has abandoned traditional air raids and turned to suicide attacks, he naturally has his own reasons, which is to have a super high hit rate.

Like the most advanced active-guided missile in this era, the suicide plane attacked from various angles and at high speeds, and although the anti-aircraft firepower of the Emperor was strong, it could not withstand the suicide attacks of six suicide fighters from different angles at the same time.

As the shells of the anti-aircraft guns continued to be fired, the suicide fighters were shot down one after another, and then at the last moment, another suicide fighter broke through the air defense network, although the Emperor finally concentrated a large number of anti-aircraft fire, and many 20-millimeter anti-aircraft shells hit, but still could not stop the attack of the suicide fighters.

A few seconds later, a huge flame rose from the left front deck of the Emperor, and the suicide fighter plane, which was also loaded with a lot of fuel, directly hit the Emperor, and then exploded and caught fire.

Although this attack did not penetrate the main armor of the Emperor, the huge explosion still caused dozens of casualties, and more importantly, the fire caused a heat wave everywhere in the front half of the Emperor.

On the other side, the Yaodi was also facing the attack of the suicide fighters, and in addition to the attack of the suicide fighters, there were also a number of torpedo bombers called the Yandi and tried to launch torpedoes.

The air defense operation of the 24th Squadron was already at the most tense juncture, and at this time, the Fu'an of the 25th Squadron received news: "The West has discovered a group of enemy aircraft, the number of which is about forty!" ”

There is no doubt that this is a shore-based plane that took off from an airport in the Amami Islands.

Yang Kunlin frowned: "Why are there so many of these planes, and where are all our air defense fighters?" Why haven't you come yet! ”

At the same time, on the Yandi, which was directly under the Second Mobile Fleet dozens of nautical miles away from the engaged sea area, Vice Admiral Lu Jian frowned: "When will the air defense aircraft group of the 22nd Squadron be able to reach the skies above the 24th Squadron and the 25th Squadron?" ”

Rear Admiral Lin Yonghai, chief of staff of the Second Mobile Fleet, said: "The fleet of the 22nd Fleet is about to arrive in the airspace of engagement!" ”

Although it is said that the range of aircraft has been greatly improved in these years, it is difficult for the combat radius of aircraft carriers to exceed 150 nautical miles, and once this distance is exceeded, it will become very difficult to find the enemy fleet, and the long-distance flight will make the pilot's physical strength drop and mental exhaustion, and there will be a long-distance attack that will make the fighter planes run out of fuel and cannot stay in the combat airspace for too long.

Therefore, it is relatively difficult for the 22nd Squadron, which is too far away, to participate in the war. This is also because Lu Jian did not mobilize the 22nd Fleet's fleet to attack the main fleet from a long distance, but only ordered the 22nd Fleet to send a group of aircraft to support the 24th Fleet and the 25th Fleet, and at the same time sent a part of the fighters to the 21st Fleet and the fleet directly under the Second Mobile Fleet to serve as air defense missions.

At the same time, in the early hours of the morning, he had already ordered the 22nd Squadron to approach his side at the first speed, and at this time, it was an important surname that fully embodied the high-speed maneuvering of the aircraft carrier battle group.

The 22nd Squadron could completely approach the 21st Squadron at a high speed of more than 28 knots, shorten the distance between it and the engaged sea, and sail at a speed of several hours to get close to at least 50 or 60 nautical miles.

On the other hand, the 24th Squadron was facing a severe air defense operation, and after the first wave of attack planes of the 21st Squadron had gone, its own fleet had just arrived, and in addition to the carrier-based planes sent by the main fleet, there were also shore-based planes sent from the Amami Islands, adding up to 70 or 80 planes to launch a large-scale air attack on the 24th and 25th Fleets.

Although the anti-aircraft fire of the 24th and 25th Squadrons was strong, it was impossible to have no damage at all under the air raids of this intensity, and the Emperor and the Shiguang were shot one after another, and the Emperor was hit by a suicide plane, although this level of attack could not sink the Emperor or even hit it hard, but the fire on the foredeck caused a large number of casualties.

At the same time, he said, "My air raid has not yet ended, and the Emperor has to carry out intense air defense operations while fighting the fire, and in order to reduce the pressure on the Emperor, the two destroyers have already approached the Emperor, using their own anti-aircraft firepower to share the pressure of the Emperor, and at the same time blocking the torpedo attack launched by the torpedo bombers."

These two destroyers wanted to use themselves to block the attack of the "Ben", and even in the face of the attack of the "Ben" torpedo bombers, they did not even dodge, they directly blocked the side of the Emperor, and soon a torpedo hit a destroyer on the port side.

With the small body of the destroyer, it could not withstand the huge explosion power of the torpedo, the torpedo blew out a big hole in the front half of the destroyer, and the sea water quickly poured in, and after just a few minutes, the destroyer put down many lifeboats, and it was obvious that the captain had given the order to abandon the ship, but even though the first half of the destroyer had almost sunk into the water, it still maintained a speed of more than 20 knots and sailed on the port side of the Emperor to protect the Emperor from the attack of the torpedo bombers.

Yang Kunlin looked at the Emperor Yu shrouded in fire and smoke in the distance and the destroyer on the port side of the Emperor Yu that was slowly sinking into the water, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, although he knew that the Emperor Yu was very dangerous at this time, but he had no way to deal with it.

While the 24th Squadron was facing intense air defense pressure, his 25th Squadron was not the same.

Just as the situation was getting worse and worse, when the destroyer had been struggling for several minutes and completely sinking into the sea, a large black spot finally appeared in the southeast direction of the sky.

"They're finally here!" When Yang Kunlin saw this black spot in the sky, the thought he had been carrying was finally put down.

In the southeast direction of the 24th Squadron, more than 20 F8G fighters flew at high speed as an advance team, and then without hesitation, they directly plunged into the attacking local aircraft group and engaged the local aircraft group.

About half of the support planes sent by the 22nd Squadron in the rear were also bombarded by dive-bombers and torpedo planes, and these planes, escorted by the other part of the fighters, bypassed this sea area and headed straight for the surface fleet not far away.

In this way, there was a very rare situation in the second naval battle, that is, the main fleets of both sides were behind, and while the avant-garde fleets of Shuangdang were engaged in a confrontation, each side sent fighters to support.

At the same time that Ben's bomber group attacked the 24th and 25th detachments of the Chinese Navy, the Chinese Navy's bomber group was also attacking Ben's escort fleet and transport fleet. At the same time, fighter jets from both sides flew all over the sky, trying to attack each other's bomber groups.

This scene can be described in one word, that is: chaos

However, this chaos also gave the Emperor a very precious respite, and when its own fighters came up to expel the bombers called Ben, the Emperor Yu seized this time to extinguish the fire, and no longer faced the suicide attacks of the many bombers that said Ben one after another.

At this time, the sun on the sea has already risen, the sun is shining on the sea, and from time to time there are planes dragging black smoke and fire to rush to the sea, breaking the calm of the sea.

While the support aircraft groups dispatched by the 24th and 25th Fleets and the 22nd Squadron were engaged in fierce battles with the escort ships and aircraft groups, a large area of Chinese naval planes was flying in the clouds about 40 nautical miles northeast of the engaged sea area, and from the air looking northeast of the sea, one could clearly see a super-large fleet sailing at high speed.

In an F8G fighter in the clouds, a lieutenant colonel said into the headset: "Attention squadrons, prepare for battle!" The 345th and 389th Squadrons launched a dive attack in front of them, targeting enemy aircraft carriers! Squadrons 248 and 386 took cover and shot down any fighters that took off to meet them. Squadrons 213 and 215 then launched torpedo attacks on enemy aircraft carriers!

Pay attention to the cloud cover and the sun cover when attacking, don't be impatient, just follow the pace of training and we will be able to win! ”

Speaking of this, the lieutenant colonel took a deep breath: "Gentlemen, work hard!" ”

In the next moment, dozens of planes rushed out of the clouds, and more than 20 B18 dive bombers led by them dived directly from the direction of the sun's rays towards the two aircraft carriers, from 4,000 meters to 3,000 meters, and then to 1,000 meters, as the outline of the opponent's aircraft carrier became clearer and clearer, the B18 dive bomber in front decisively dropped an aerial bomb weighing 500 kilograms!
