Chapter 1342: Seizing Air Supremacy

"Damn, fight back, shoot down the Chinese fighters!" An officer in the U.S. Army Air Corps shouted loudly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, it doesn't seem to be of much use. The pilots of the U.S. Army Air Corps immediately fled for their lives when they saw the fighters of the Chinese Air Force, instead of fighting the fighters of the Chinese Air Force. They knew that it was almost impossible to rely on the planes they were flying to fight the fighters of the powerful Chinese Air Force.

"These Americans are so weak that when you fight them, you don't feel like fighting at all." One of the Imperial Air Force pilots said over the radio after shooting down a U.S. fighter jet.

"Yes! However, this is also because the fighter developed by the empire is too advanced and too far ahead of other countries. The fighters of the rest of the countries, with the exception of the Germans, lagged behind us for at least five years. Another pilot said.

The pilots of the Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation were undoubtedly lucky. Because the fighters they fly are much more advanced than the enemy's fighters. Therefore, they can defeat their opponents in air combat with the minimum cost.

Of course, this is undoubtedly a little unfair to the enemies of the Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation. However, there is no such thing as fairness or unfairness in war, only the difference between the victor and the loser.

"Da Da Da!" The battle continued, and the fighter pilots of the Imperial Air Force were slaughtering American fighters with the aircraft machine guns of the fighters. Although, occasionally, warplanes of the Imperial Air Force were shot down. But in general, it was the US military fighter jets that landed more.

By the time bombers from the Imperial Air Force and Naval Air Force arrived, the U.S. fighter forces had already been dispersed. The vast majority of U.S. fighter jets were shot down, and a small number of U.S. pilots escaped. Only, unless they flee the battlefield. Otherwise, it will end up being destroyed. The only difference is probably that it is destroyed in the air, or it is destroyed on the ground.

After dispersing the U.S. fighter fleet, the fighters of the Imperial Air Force began to cover the bombers' attacks on the U.S. airfields. The dense group of planes slaughtered the US military airfield.

In Koba, where the headquarters of the US-Australian forces is located, Admiral MacArthur is listening to a report from the commander of the Army Air Corps. It's just that the commander of the Army Aviation Corps stood in front of Admiral MacArthur, and cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese fighters are too far ahead of us. The P-36 fighters we are equipped with are not at all an opponent of the Chinese. The commander of the army aviation said resignedly.

"That is, our aviation was defeated by the Chinese." Admiral MacArthur asked coldly.

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency, Commander. If our pilots can be equipped with the latest P-40 fighters, they may be able to withstand the Chinese attack. Said the commander of the army aviation.

The P-40 fighter is a new generation of advanced fighter developed by the US military after realizing that there is a huge gap between their fighter and the fighter of the Chinese Air Force. Although compared to the P-36 fighter, the performance of the P-40 fighter is much better. However, if you want to compare with the F9 fighter of the Chinese Air Force or the carrier-based F9 fighter, there are still some gaps.

It's just that the US military has great confidence in these fighters. They firmly believe that these fighters will allow them to close the gap with the Chinese Air Force. At least they won't be left without the slightest bit of fighting back.

"Humph! P-40 fighter? Can we still count on it? Admiral MacArthur said coldly.

Originally, Admiral MacArthur hoped to rely on army aviation to seize air supremacy, so that they would not be bombed indiscriminately by the Chinese air force in the next battle.

The commander of the army aviation, immediately stopped talking. He knew that if he continued to talk about it, he would definitely be scolded even more.

"Command all airports to be on heightened alert. The offensive target of the Chinese Air Force is definitely our airfield. Find a way to make the Chinese pay as much as possible. One more plane they lose, we have the potential to lose a lot of people. Admiral MacArthur said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." The commander of the army aviation hurriedly said.

At 9:10 a.m., the Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation began to attack the airfields of the American army. Dozens of warplanes pounced on the US airfield. Fighters are still in the lead, relying on the speed advantage of these fighters, they will be responsible for suppressing the anti-aircraft fire of US airfields and creating conditions for subsequent bomber attacks.

"Aim at the planes of the Chinese, open fire, knock them all down." On the countless anti-aircraft gun positions, the officers of the air defense forces of the US army shouted loudly. One anti-aircraft gun after another, the muzzle of which was already pointed at the sky. Under the manipulation of the artillerymen, it turned rapidly.

"Knock knock!" 40-mm anti-aircraft guns and 20-mm anti-aircraft guns on the positions opened fire, as did many more 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine guns. These anti-aircraft fires, forming a dense network of anti-aircraft fire, were intended to shoot down the planes of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation in the sky.

In the face of the anti-aircraft fire of the American army, the pilots of the Imperial Air Force were not afraid, and they piloted the planes and fired at the anti-aircraft positions of the American army. The 30-mm cannon in the nose and the 12.7-mm aviation machine gun in the wing opened fire at the same time, and the dense fire poured down on the anti-aircraft gun emplacements of the American army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Several machine gun shells exploded on the anti-aircraft positions of the American army, tearing the American air defense troops on the position to pieces.

"Da Da Da!" A fighter plane frantically strafed the US anti-aircraft gun position, and the dense bullets hit the anti-aircraft gun, bursting out one spark after another. It's just that the fighter wanted to pull up after clearing this anti-aircraft gun position, but the belly was hit by an anti-aircraft gun shell. The shell hit the fuel tank, causing the fighter to dye directly into a fireball and fall to the ground.

As the saying goes, war is the best teacher, and the Americans have been defeated by empires time and again. However, they have also learned a lot. They knew that the airfield would have to deploy dense anti-aircraft fire, so that they could protect the airfield as much as possible in the face of enemy air attacks.

However, although the counterattack of the US anti-aircraft fire caused some casualties to the Imperial Air Force. However, they were still unable to withstand the attack of the Imperial Air Force.

Under the attack of the fighters of the Imperial Air Force, the air defense of this front-line airfield of the US army suffered heavy losses, and the anti-aircraft fire was also much weaker.

Subsequently, bombers of the Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation began to drop bombs. Torpedo attack planes and medium bombers, which carried out horizontal bombing missions, began to bomb the runway and some important buildings on the US airfield.

The bombs that bombed the runway of the airfield were all bombs weighing up to 100 kilograms. These bombs are specially made submunitions. After the explosion, small bombs can be dropped on the western periphery, causing further and greater damage to the airfield.

Such a submunition can often destroy a runway tens of meters long. Just a few of these submunitions can be dropped on a runway to completely destroy a runway.

The dive bombers of the Imperial Air Force and Naval Air Force launched attacks on important targets in the airfield. These dive bombers have a higher strike accuracy and carry more powerful heavy aerial bombs. Dealing with important targets can often achieve very good results.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded, and a black cloud rushed straight into the sky.

It was the airport's oil depot that was blown up, and thousands of tons of jet fuel stored in the depot were detonated, and the explosion was so powerful that it even destroyed several adjacent buildings.

"Damn the Chinese!" The person in charge of the US military airfield felt as if he was dripping blood when he saw that the airfield had been bombed by the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation. However, apart from cursing, he had no other way to vent the anger in his heart. He didn't even have the guts to leave his underground headquarters. If you leave, you risk being blown up.

When the last dive bomber dropped its bomb, the fleet of Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation swaggered away from the American airfield, leaving only a completely destroyed airfield.

This operation of the Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation was undoubtedly very successful. Of the 20 airfields they attacked, eight were completely destroyed, and another six lost the ability to take off and land aircraft. Only six airports were hit lightly.

The Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation, on the other hand, lost a total of 26 fighters, 7 dive bombers, 2 ground attack aircraft, 2 torpedo attack aircraft, and 1 medium bomber during this operation.

Such losses were not great for the Reich Air Force and naval aviation. Especially in terms of the results they have achieved, it is undoubtedly nothing at all.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Imperial Air Force once again took off hundreds of fighters and bombers to attack the airfields of the American army that had not been completely destroyed, ensuring that these airfields were completely destroyed and completely lost the value of repair. Only in this way, the US military has no airfield to use, so even if they have planes, they will not be able to take off, let alone compete with the Imperial Air Force for air supremacy.

It was only after three rounds of air raids that the Imperial Air Force completely destroyed the US airfield and completely gained air supremacy on the battlefield. Admiral MacArthur's wishful thinking of placing the decisive battle inland was a complete failure. (To be continued.) )
