readx; At the same time, about 40 planes from the two air warships and the aircraft carrier Fengxiang also took off and headed for the main Chinese fleet, and their main battleships were also speeding at the highest cruising speed. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info their combat uniform strategy is not to solve problems with carrier-based aircraft, this carrier-based aircraft is used to harass the sluggish enemy, and it is their battleship main fleet that is really used to solve the battle. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only about 140 kilometers, and according to the cruising speed of the warships at more than 25 knots, it would not take three hours for the fleet to catch up.

After releasing the first wave of attack planes at 1:45 p.m., the First Air Fleet continued its rearmament work in preparation for the release of the second wave of attack planes. At the same time, the First Battleship Fleet led by Vice Admiral Wen Tinghe had also moved to the sea area about 10 kilometers north of the First Air Fleet. Its purpose is already self-evident, that is, to act as a meat shield for the First Air Fleet.

And this is also the biggest task of the First Battlefleet this time to go to sea, that is, to protect the aircraft carriers of the First Air Fleet, whether it is the enemy battleship attack or to resist the enemy's air attack, China's four battleships are the first to bear the brunt.

You must know that due to the rapid technological progress of China's own aircraft, and the importance of aircraft anti-ship operations, so the anti-aircraft firepower on the Chinese [***] ships is also getting stronger and stronger, China's battleships are equipped with a large number of 30 mm anti-aircraft guns and 75 mm anti-aircraft guns, in addition to a large number of high-level dual-purpose five-inch guns, and at the same time, a large number of 12 are deployed everywhere in the warship. 7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

It can be said that the anti-aircraft firepower on the Chinese [***] ship is the strongest in the world today.

While the position was being adjusted, the preparation of the First Air Fleet continued, and not long after, that is, at 2:30 p.m., the First Air Fleet had already released the second wave of attack waves.

At the same time, the attack aircraft groups of the two sides have also flown to the general level, and the interesting thing is that the aircraft groups of the two sides have not yet attacked a large number of each other's warships, but they have been installed together with each other, so the escort fighters of the two sides are entangled together for the first time, but China's first wave of aircraft is as high as more than 100 aircraft, including more than 30 fighters, but there are many more planes than Ben, not to mention that the planes also occupy the advantage of the surname.

What followed was a massacre, saying that "after the loss of the fighters escorted by me, the remaining torpedo bombers and horizontal bombers became lambs to be slaughtered, and after being slaughtered nearly half of them got rid of the pursuit of Chinese fighters, and at this time, the Chinese aircraft group could not turn back and continue to chase due to the requirements of its own mission, so after sending relevant warning information to the second wave of aircraft groups and the fleet in the rear, the fighters in the group continued to carry out escort missions."

It didn't take long for the remnants of this group of more than 20 planes to meet the second wave of China's attack planes, and after another battle, only eight torpedo bombers finally saw the huge Chinese Navy's main fleet in the distance, and just when they gritted their teeth and were determined to sink these huge battleships, more than 10 Chinese fighters were already ushered in in front of them, and these fighters were the direct guard fighters reserved for the aircraft carriers of the First Air Fleet.

With the cooperation of the anti-aircraft fire of the warships, only two of the eight torpedo planes had a chance to drop their torpedoes, and these two torpedo planes were shot down by anti-aircraft fire within two minutes of dropping their torpedoes, and the two torpedoes dropped on the Yandi were also successfully dodged.

As a result, it was said that "all the more than 30 planes attacked by our naval air force were shot down, and none of them were able to escape back, and in the previous battle, two fighters of the first wave of China's attack aircraft group were shot down."

When the eight torpedo planes of the Chinese Navy arrived over the main fleet of the Chinese Navy, the first wave of attack planes sent by the Chinese Navy also successfully arrived in the airspace above the main fleet.

When Feng Haoran looked at the main fleet on the sea, and then imagined the scene when he sank these warships, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"This is the Kaga, it is worthy of being a giant ship of the same level as the Yandi-class battleship, it is so huge!" Feng Haoran swept over at a glance, and he could find many capital ships that he had identified countless times from the warship illustrated book.

"This should be the Nagato, it's the Mutsu!" When Feng Haoran saw these warships, he almost couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, imagining the scene of sinking these warships made him extremely excited, but as the commander of the attack aircraft group, he was not impulsive, but calmly issued an order to give priority to attacking the two aviation warships and the Fengxiang aircraft carrier.

At the same time, some fighters were raised one after another from the two air warships and the Fengxiang aircraft carrier, and the next minute, the sky was full of dense planes, and the fighters of both sides were entangled in the sky, constantly circling, pulling up, and diving, and the fighter pilots of Ben wanted to get rid of the Chinese escort fighters and attack the Chinese bomber group, while the Chinese escort fighters were desperately trying to block the interception of the Chinese fighters.

While the fighters performed all kinds of amazing maneuvers and tactical maneuvers, the torpedo bombers at low altitude did not have any maneuvers at all, but flew flat in a smooth manner, and released the torpedoes when they took aim. The dive bombers swooped down directly from an altitude of several thousand meters, and finally dropped aerial bombs on the target at an angle of nearly seventy or eighty degrees, and these semi-armor-piercing aerial bombs of 250 kilograms ruthlessly tore through the horizontal armor of the battleship, and then exploded deep into the internal compartment.

Eisuke Yamamoto looked at the dense planes in the sky, and looked at the many smoke-emitting warships not far away, although his eyes were still fanatical, but there was already a trace of worry in the fanaticism!

As the commander of the 1st Fleet and commander of the Combined Fleet, Vice Admiral Eisuke Yamamoto is already a veritable high-ranking naval officer in this navy, and his status is not comparable to that of a few naval bigwigs, but it is also very important. In his opinion, the strategic center of gravity of the Navy is still battleships, and although naval aviation is developing rapidly, aviation still cannot shake the status of battleships.

At present, there is also a small aircraft carrier and two air warships in the navy, and the planes carried on these three warships are mainly fighters and torpedo bombers, and the carrying capacity is only 20 or 30 aircraft, and the combined aircraft carrying capacity of these three warships is about the same as the carrying capacity of a Chinese aircraft carrier.

This cannot be said that "this navy has not attached importance to the development of naval aviation, in fact, this navy has already attached great importance to it, but the previous one said that "this navy, like the Chinese navy and the navies of other countries in the mid-to-early 20s, regarded naval aviation as an auxiliary force for reconnaissance and air defense, rather than as a capital ship."

Otherwise, they would not be optimistic about this kind of aviation warship, and they would build two of them.

But at this time, Eisuke Yamamoto looked at the dense planes in the sky, his face became deeper and darker, and soon, he said, "The two air warships on the book and the fighter planes that took off from the Fengxiang have been shot down in the battle one after another, and the total number of fighters on these three warships is only about thirty, and more than ten have been sent to escort the torpedo planes and horizontal bomber forces before, and the remaining ten or so fighters are not enough for the large number of attacking Chinese naval attack aircraft groups, After barely holding on for ten minutes, they were shot down one after another.

The reason why they were shot down so quickly was that in addition to the small number of them, so that China's fighters could fight two or even three to one, and more importantly, it was said that the surname of the carrier-based aircraft equipped by this navy is far inferior to that of the carrier-based aircraft equipped by China.

When it comes to the world's aircraft, China's aircraft dare not be said to be the first in the world, but there is no problem in ranking among the first-class level. After the defeat of Germany, not only a large number of military equipment was accepted by various countries, but also various industrial equipment was accepted by various countries, and China, as one of the victorious countries, also received a large number of technologies from the defeated Germany, including aluminum alloy technology, thus laying the foundation for China's all-metal aircraft. The second is the aero engine, the aero engine has been relying on imports in the early years, and during the First World War, it was through military cooperation from France in exchange for the technical patent of the aero engine, and then began the process of domestic aero engine, after more than ten years of technical precipitation, today's domestic engine has been roughly passed.

Today, China's domestically made aero engines are technically inferior to those of France and the United Kingdom, and even the United States, but they are also considered to be first-class, at least much stronger than those of the Soviet Union and Russia. Coupled with China's perennial experience in aircraft R&D and design, a large number of excellent designs continue to emerge, so even if China's current aviation technology is not the world's first, the world's top three is not a big problem.

For example, China's first finalized F3 fighter, this fighter designed by Chuzhou Aircraft Company began to be developed in the mid-20s, and it is planned to be equipped in the 30s, replacing the F2 fighter to become the main fighter. Since China began the F2 fighter service, the development of a new generation of aircraft is becoming more and more difficult, the concept and basic design of the F3 fighter has been formed in 1925, but limited by the slow development of various subsystems, until 1929 the prototype was test-fed, and the prototype of the test flight can make the Air Force very satisfied, especially up to 350 kilometers per hour, as well as excellent climb rate and instantaneous surname can make the Air Force very satisfied.
