readx; At an altitude of several thousand meters in the waters northeastern of the Ryukyus, a dense group of planes is flying in the northeast direction, and the five-colored stars on the fuselage are dazzling in the sunlight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This wave of aircraft is the huge attack group sent by the Second Air Fleet and the First Air Fleet, and the total number of aircraft exceeds 100, of which dozens are escort fighters, some of these fighters are improved F2 series carrier-based fighters, and some are the latest F3E fighters in service in the Navy. Under the cover of these fighters was a large group of bombers, including B6 dive bombers with heavy aerial bombs and B5 torpedo bombers with aerial torpedoes.

As time passed, this wave of attack groups was gradually approaching the sky above the fleet.

At the same time, the horn of battle had already been sounded on the Longxiang in this fleet, and the fighters on the ship were already lined up, taking off one after another, and the carrier-based planes that took off were all fighters, and even half of them were the latest Type 90 fighters in this navy.

Because the number of aircraft carriers is too small, and there is an extreme shortage of aircraft carriers, the types of carrier-based aircraft carried on the Longxiang are not the same as those of the Chinese Navy's aircraft carriers, and the standard number of aircraft carriers in China is 85, including more than 20 fighters, more than 30 B6 bombers, and more than 10 B5 torpedo bombers. However, it is said that "there is only one air warship at present, and at this time, it is said that what the navy needs most is not to attack the enemy's warships with carrier-based aircraft, but to need carrier-based aircraft to take on the heavy task of air defense of the fleet." Therefore, except for a small number of reconnaissance planes, the rest of the Longxiang were all fighters, and not even a torpedo plane was carried. Those reconnaissance opportunities provide long-range reconnaissance along with the seaplanes carried on board other warships, while those fighters provide air defense for the fleet.

When the attack group of more than 100 planes was about to arrive in the airspace over the "Fleet," it was also discovered by the Outer Alert and Reconnaissance Plane, and then the destroyers on the Perimeter Alert also reported the situation.

More than 10 minutes later, a group of about 20 planes of this plane met the huge group of Chinese planes that were coming to the southeast of the fleet, and at the same time, the fighter group of the Chinese Navy escorting the aircraft also rushed forward, and soon the fighters of the two sides were already entangled together.

The vast majority of the fighters are the 90 fighters that the Navy has just put into service, and the 90 fighters are copied from the F4B carrier-based fighters in service in the U.S. Navy, and this fighter is also excellent before the war, even better than the F2 series fighters used as the main force of the Chinese Navy at that time, but it is said that when the imitation was introduced, due to the weak engine technology, it could not be imitated, and it was not until the outbreak of the war in China that the technical difficulties of the engine were solved. And began mass production of Type 90 fighters as the main carrier-based aircraft of the Navy, and the current more than 10 Type 90 fighters attached to the Longxiang are most of them.

However, just when the navy thought that it could finally resist and suppress China's F2 series carrier-based aircraft, it found that there was another kind of carrier-based aircraft in the Chinese aircraft group opposite, but they quickly reacted, and the Chinese fighter on the opposite side was the F3 fighter that the Chinese Air Force had used for many months and shone in the war.

In addition, there is a great difference between carrier-based aircraft and land-based fighters, and this is also the reason why the Navy is not equipped with the Army's Type 91 fighters. However, although the contradictions between China's military branches are also large, the navy is investing far less money in the research and development of new aircraft than the air force, so although it is humiliating, the navy is also cheeky and directly uses a large number of mature aircraft technology of the air force, and directly takes the excellent fighters of the air force and uses them as its own carrier-based aircraft after being slightly modified.

After the Chinese Navy put into service the F3 fighters, it once again formed a surname advantage over the Type 90 fighters of the Navy, which can be seen from the fact that the Type 90 fighters of the Navy were shot down one after another.

At this time, the B5 bombers and the B6 bombers also began to divide into two ways, the B6 dive bombers continued to remain at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, and the B5 bombers began to slowly reduce their altitude.

Seeing that a large number of Chinese bombers were approaching not far away, he said: "The surface warships in this fleet have also begun intense air defense operations, and anti-aircraft guns of various calibers have begun to continuously spray shells, and the shells that have been fired have exploded in the air, leaving behind clouds of smoke and dust."

I have to say that the air defense operations of the surface ships of this navy are quite excellent, and the landing points of the shells are accurate and ruthless. In this series of engagements, the Chinese Navy has repeatedly attacked the Chinese Navy with aircraft carriers as the core, and the results are not brilliant. After all, in all previous operations, the surface ships of the Chinese Navy have not actually encountered large-scale air raids by the Chinese Navy, so naturally they will not be able to accumulate experience in air defense operations, and it is strange that the Navy does not attach importance to air defense operations after being bombed so many times.

In the rumble of artillery, a small group of four B6 dive bombers in the high altitude has begun to enter the state of diving, they are almost in a straight state from an altitude of more than 3,000 meters in the air to dive down rapidly, the maximum speed is more than 500 kilometers or even higher, when the B6 dive bomber enters the dive stage, its speed is very high, and even in order to control the dive speed, in order to make the B6 dive bomber have a higher hit rate, a deceleration device is specially designed to reduce the speed of the dive stage.

In the face of these B6 bombers that have entered the dive stage, the warships below are also desperately resisting, and the anti-aircraft guns of various calibers and even anti-aircraft machine guns are constantly spewing flames, and at the same time, the warships themselves are also carrying out emergency evasion, using the S track at the highest combat speed to avoid the falling aerial bombs.

Naturally, the dense anti-aircraft artillery fire could not have been such a waste of ammunition all the time, and soon the B6 dive bombers in the sky were hit by the anti-aircraft artillery fire of the navy because they could not dodge, and almost instantly turned into a ball of flames and fell towards the sea.

The friendly plane was hit, but it did not affect the attack of the remaining three B6 dive bombers, and their target was the battleship Tosa.

With the rapid decrease in altitude, when entering the altitude of 700 meters, the dive bomber at the head suddenly lightened its fuselage, and the 350-kilogram aerial bomb under the belly had already detached from the fuselage, and then the bomb went straight towards the Tosa at a higher speed.

The Tosa is maintaining a combat speed of 26 knots at this moment, when the Chinese Navy's B6 dive bomber launched a dive attack on it, it has already begun to carry out emergency evasion, the huge hull has drawn a huge track on the sea, and when making an emergency turn, the inclination of the Tosa, a huge battleship, is as high as more than 20 degrees, which is undoubtedly an extremely spectacular scene for a giant battleship with a standard displacement of more than 40,000 tons and a full load displacement of nearly 50,000 tons. In the event of an emergency evacuation, the personnel on the Tosa even became unstable, and a few personnel fell to one piece.

The huge aerial bomb fell extremely fast, but the landing point fell on the sea more than 20 meters away from the Tosa, and then a huge column of water rose into the air, and the huge explosion formed a huge pressure wave in the water, making the Tosa not far away almost a violent earthquake. Although this kind of explosion did not directly hit the battleship, because the landing point was near the battleship, it belonged to the standard close miss, and the power of the close miss was sometimes more terrifying than the direct hit, because the near miss bomb exploded near the warship, and a huge pressure was formed after the explosion, and the density of the sea water was far greater than the air, and this pressure would directly destroy the hull structure of the warship with the sea water as the conduction, and the effect was roughly similar to a torpedo hit. As for how big the effect is, it depends on the situation, sometimes it is just a warship that shakes and there is no danger, and sometimes it can directly tear the hull of the underwater part of the warship, causing a huge crack and a large amount of water.

Now the Tosa suffered a violent vibration after this near-miss bomb, but the Tosa himself obviously did not have the time and mind to check how much damage there was, because two more B6 dive bombers dropped bombs on the Tosa, and the two aerial bombs almost one after the other, forming a small angle to attack the Tosa.

The Tosa was another emergency evasion, the bomb on the left side was dodged, but the next 350 kg aerial bomb successfully hit the rear deck of the Tosa, the huge dive speed gave this 350 kg aviation armor-piercing projectile a huge armor-piercing ability, this aerial bomb directly penetrated the horizontal armor on the Tosa, and then exploded deep into the inner compartment.

Almost instantly, smoke was billowing from the Tosa.

The three B6 dive bombers that completed the attack were also trying to level the fuselage, and then accelerated to escape from the air defense fire circle of the fleet.

A large number of B6 dive bombers in groups of three or four launched large-scale attacks on several capital ships, some dropping 350 kg of armor-piercing shells, some dropping 250 kg of high-explosive bombs, and a large number of 50 kg of high-explosive bombs were also dropped together.

For a time, a number of capital ships were hit one after another, and the aviation battleship Ryuchamp was attacked like the Tosa. This is already the only remaining air warship in the navy, and as long as it can be sunk, then the navy will not have any air force in the next few months.

The fate of the Longxiang is more tragic than that of the Tosa, in the first round of attacks, it has been hit by two 350 kg armor-piercing shells, one of which exploded deep into the fuel of the Longxiang, causing the fire to quickly spread to the fuel tank, and the Longxiang has a large amount of aviation gasoline in reserve, which is for carrier-based aircraft, and aviation gasoline is very easy to catch fire and explode, almost within a few minutes, these aviation gasoline is caused a violent fire, Thick smoke and fire enveloped almost the entire Dragon.

This was not the end of the story, and soon two more 250-kilogram high-explosive shells hit the Longxiang, making the situation even worse.

At this time, except for a small number of anti-aircraft guns still firing, most of the anti-aircraft artillery had stopped firing, and the fuel fire inside the warship almost turned the entire warship into a hell on earth, which was more tragic than the explosion of the ammunition depot.

"All spare personnel will speed up the fire extinguishing!" On the bridge of the Ryuchamp, the captain Taro Hirasawa still calmly gave orders.

But his order is already a bit redundant, almost all the people who can put out the fire have joined the fire extinguishing, but even if the personnel have invested so much, countless seawater has been pumped up and poured into those fire cabins, but it still can't make the fire weaker, and even burn more and more violently, with the fierce fire, some aerial bombs that were originally in the hangar were also detonated one after another.

Even Taro Hirasawa was still very calm, but he already knew that the fire of the Dragon Horse was no longer controllable, and the next fire would begin to detonate a large amount of ammunition to detonate, even if the Dragon Horse did not sink in the end, but after such a fierce fire, it was enough to completely destroy the Dragon Horse.

Looking at the dense Chinese aircraft group in the sky, Taro Hirasawa's heart was full of a kind of injustice, both are naval aviation, but why is the gap between the two so big, his own Longxiang is already carrying the largest number of fighters that can be carried, but why can't it stop the air attack of the Chinese naval aviation.

Another violent explosion came, and the Longxiang began to shake violently, which was not the martyrdom of the Longxiang itself, nor the aerial bombs dropped by the Chinese naval aviation, but torpedoes.

Several B5 torpedo bombers took the opportunity to launch a torpedo attack on the Longxiang, although the two destroyers on the periphery of the Longxiang tried their best to block it, but they still could not stop the torpedoes dropped by the B5 bombers from galloping towards the Longxiang.

A torpedo accurately hit the Longxiang, the explosive power of the torpedo was greater than that of the aerial bomb, and because it hit the underwater part directly, the hull of the Longxiang was torn open to a huge gap, and countless seawater began to pour into the Longxiang.

In just a few minutes, the Dragon Horse had already suffered a fatal blow, and even the most optimistic Admiral knew that the Dragon Commander would not be able to escape this fate.

China's attack aircraft group is still on the offensive, and the naval fleet is also putting up a stubborn resistance, and in these short ten or twenty minutes, it seems as long as a hundred years for this fleet.

After the Chinese attack planes in the sky dropped bombs and retreated, they said: "This fleet is already in shambles."

The fire of the Ryuchamp was out of control, and the hull was tilted to 30 degrees, and as soon as the Chinese attack aircraft group left, Taro Hirasawa gave the order to abandon the ship, but he himself did not withdraw with those men, but stayed on the bridge and tied himself to the bridge, and he was going to sink with his ship in the icy water.

The Tosa was also covered with smoke, so although it was badly damaged, the vital compartments were still intact, and the other ships were also damaged to a greater or lesser extent, including one cruiser that had sunk.

The five or six planes that survived the fierce air battle in the sky said: "This fighter can no longer find a deck for them to land, and in the end they can only make a forced landing on the sea.

Before leaving, a destroyer fired three torpedoes at the Ryuchamp, which had been seriously injured and had even lost its navigation power, and sent the Ryuchamp to the bottom of the sea.

In the evening, Chen Jingyun had already received the latest battle report from the Ryukyu front, which was very certain that he had sunk the Longxiang of the Navy, and severely damaged many of the capital ships of the Navy.

Looking at this battle report, Chen Jingyun showed a satisfied expression: "In this case, I am afraid that the navy will not be able to prevent us from landing and capturing the Ryukyus, and the negotiations on the Shanghai side can also be carried out smoothly!" ”

The reason why China launched the Ryukyu Campaign was largely because it wanted to force Moto's complete submission and concession at the negotiating table. As for the strategic significance of the Ryukyus themselves, it was not significant in this war.

Because whether it is bombing the mainland or landing on the mainland, China can start from Busan, which is much closer, and there is no need to capture the Ryukyus to get a base for advancement. As for breaking through the blockade of the first island chain and advancing into the Pacific Ocean, there is no such thing, because the so-called first island chain in later generations was built on a series of islands such as the Philippines, Taiwan, and the Ryukyus. However, Taiwan has long been taken back by China, and relying on Taiwan, the Chinese Navy has no pressure at all to enter and exit the Pacific Ocean, and it can even rely on Taiwan to carry out a large-scale blockade of the sea transportation lines and the waters northeast of the Philippines.

The Ryukyu Campaign was more politically significant than strategic.

Chen Jingyun wanted to let him see that in this war, you said, "I have no chance of turning the tables."

The sinking of the Dragon Horse means that the navy has no fleet air force available for use, and the loss of Ryukyu is inevitable, and the next step is whether the Chinese will launch a landing on the mainland.

Against this background, Kishigero Bihara, who was far away in Shanghai, also received instructions from China, and in the next day's talks, Kishishiro Bihara relented on the North Korean issue for the first time.

After listening to the words of Yoshihiro Tsuchihara, Gu Weijun already knew that this negotiation was finally going to be negotiated, and the result was still the result he wanted!
