In naval warfare dominated by aircraft carriers, naval warfare has actually become very simple, find the enemy, and then take off carrier-based aircraft to attack the enemy until the enemy is sunk. www.biquge.info Of course, it is undoubtedly very difficult to find the enemy on the vast sea. Even large ships such as aircraft carriers are very large, like a hill floating on the sea. But on the vast sea, it's still like a drop in the ocean. Even with a search tool like radar, it is still not so easy to find the enemy. In the same way, if you want to dispatch carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack after discovering the enemy, in the process, you may be intercepted by the enemy's air defense fighters, or your own fleet will also be attacked by the enemy's carrier-based aircraft, which involves the issue of fighter escort and fleet air defense.

Therefore, aircraft carrier operations may seem simple, but in fact they are also very complex. It will not be so easy to win in future aircraft carrier operations. This is also the reason why Admiral Chen Houfu, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy, ordered to stop the pursuit of those remnants of the US Navy's carrier-based aircraft. As long as reconnaissance planes are sent to follow these US carrier-based aircraft, they will be able to find the location of their fleet. At that time, the aircraft carrier fleet of the Imperial Navy will be able to take off carrier-based aircraft to sink it and completely win this naval battle.

From the aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy, two improved F9 fighters took off, these two improved F9 fighters were two-seaters, in addition to the pilot in front, there was also an electromechanical crew in the back, carrying high-power radio equipment, which could ensure communication with the flagship at a long distance, so that after discovering the enemy ship, it could quickly notify its own aircraft carrier and dispatch bombers to attack the enemy's aircraft carrier.

At this time, only eleven carrier-based aircraft were dispatched from the US Navy's aircraft carrier "Saratoga". The remaining sixty-one have already been shot down. They were shot down by anti-aircraft fighters before they could reach the core of the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet. Frightened, they had to run desperately to escape, trying to escape. The Chinese Navy has so many aircraft carriers that it terrifies carrier-based pilots in the U.S. Navy. The performance of the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft is also far above that of the US Navy, which makes the US Navy have no courage to continue to fight.

"The Chinese carrier-based aircraft did not chase after them, it's great, we are lucky to survive." A U.S. military pilot said happily.

"Yes! It should be that the Chinese carrier-based aircraft ran out of fuel, so they gave up the pursuit of us. Otherwise, we won't be able to escape. Another U.S. pilot said.

"The planes of the Chinese are too terrifying, their speed is definitely more than six hundred kilometers. Much faster than our planes. Fighting with the Chinese is simply looking for death again! It is really hard to imagine that the poor and backward Chinese can actually develop such an advanced aircraft. ”

"The Chinese have so many aircraft carriers, and their carrier-based aircraft are so strong, can we really defeat them?" Even the colonel was shot down. One of the pilots said. Suddenly, the sound in the radio communication channel disappeared all at once. The American pilots who survived were silent one by one. Indeed, this is undoubtedly a very serious problem.

There are too many aircraft carriers in the Chinese Navy. There are as many as 12 large aircraft carriers dispatched this time alone, and the number of those small aircraft carriers is twice that of large aircraft carriers. Even if you don't count those small aircraft carriers, in terms of fleet carriers, it is several times more than the aircraft carriers that have survived the US Navy. It is simply impossible for the US Navy to want to confront the Chinese Navy.

"We have no other choice, the Chinese are enemies of us, and we can only fight them." Report the situation of the Chinese to your superiors. As for what to do, that's not something we can decide. One of the pilots said.

They are nothing more than ordinary carrier-based aircraft pilots, and such a major national event is naturally decided by the US president and high-ranking military figures. These ordinary pilots are just carrying out orders. Once their superiors decided to go to war, they had to risk their lives to go to the front. At the same time, one can only pray to God for the blessing that he will not be killed by the Chinese.

The remaining US carrier-based aircraft are three Buffalo fighters, five SBD Dreadnought dive bombers and three TBD Destroyer torpedo attack aircraft. At this moment, they have increased their speed to more than 400 kilometers so that they can return to the USS Saratoga as soon as possible and escape. After all, the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy have already frightened them.

The U.S. carrier-based planes did not notice that two Chinese Navy two-seat F9 fighters were following them in the clouds not far behind them. These U.S. pilots didn't know that it was they who brought disaster to the USS Saratoga.

On the USS Saratoga, the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier, Rear Admiral Halsey was anxiously awaiting the results. Although he knew that it was a very risky operation to send carrier-based aircraft to attack the Chinese Navy. Judging from the information obtained from the Oahu military port, the Chinese aircraft carrier formation is very large, and the number of carrier-based aircraft sent is also very large. The Oahu military port judged that the number of Chinese aircraft carriers was at least eight or even ten. There is no doubt that with the dozens of carrier-based aircraft on the USS Saratoga, unless the Chinese Navy is unprepared, they will definitely not succeed. Once resistance is encountered, then the fate of these carrier-based aircraft dispatched can be imagined.

Major General Halsey also had no choice, he was only able to do this. Although, perhaps, this will sacrifice dozens of carrier-based aircraft, dozens of pilots. However, if successful, it can at least strike a blow at the arrogance of the Chinese Navy. In addition, we can also further understand the strength of the Chinese Navy, so that in future naval battles, we can defeat the Chinese Navy and regain its disadvantage.

Although, after this battle, the strength of the US Navy has undoubtedly suffered a heavy blow, and it is obviously impossible to take revenge in a short period of time. However, if it is not prepared early, then the US Navy will have no chance of revenge at all.

"May God bless the United States of America." Major General Halsey said secretly. Now they really have no other way but to pray for God's blessing.

"General, perhaps our attack will be successful. The Chinese have just attacked them, and they must not have much defense. We can take this opportunity to hit them hard. The adjutant said.

Major General Halsey shook his head, he knew, it would definitely not be that simple.

At 12 noon, the carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy had already been spotted by their anti-aircraft search radar. At the same time, radio communications were established. Communications officers quickly made contact with the surviving carrier-based pilots of the U.S. Navy. From the mouths of those pilots who survived, a useful piece of information was collated.

"General, our attack failed. Of the seventy-two carrier-based aircraft, only eleven remained. The rest of the carrier-based aircraft were sunk by the Chinese. Also, Colonel Grumman was shot down. A communications officer reported to Major General Halsey.

Although he had long guessed that this would be the outcome, Major General Halsey closed his eyes in pain.

"What about the strength of the Chinese?" Major General Halsey asked.

"General, according to the reports of the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft who returned, the strength of the Chinese Navy is even stronger than we imagined. They have a very large number of aircraft carriers, with 12 large aircraft carriers and as many as 24 aircraft carriers that are one size smaller than large aircraft carriers. In addition, the performance of the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy is very strong, and our carrier-based aircraft cannot compete with it at all. So much so that when we were attacked by the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy, our carrier-based aircraft did not even have the strength to fight back. Said the communications officer.

"Oh God! How can the Chinese have so many aircraft carriers? Admiral Halsey's adjutant exclaimed. Large aircraft carriers and small aircraft carriers combined, there are 36 of them. In that case, how can they continue to fight?

Rear Admiral Halsey's face was also very ugly, although he had already guessed that the hidden strength of the Chinese Navy was very terrifying. However, now he has discovered that the strength of the Chinese Navy is even more terrifying than he imagined.

"Damn the Chinese, they have known the power of aircraft carriers for a long time and have been secretly building aircraft carriers. However, we are still stupidly building battleships. Major General Halsey couldn't help but scold. In his opinion, the Chinese are too insidious.

"Whew!" At this time, the terrible air defense siren suddenly sounded.

"What's going on?" Rear Admiral Halsey's heart suddenly tightened, and after learning about the strength of the Chinese Navy, he was worried that the Chinese Navy would launch a counterattack.

"General, we only have eleven carrier-based aircraft that have survived, but thirteen planes have appeared on the radar." The radar officer reported.

"Bastard, the Chinese are following our carrier-based aircraft, and our tracks have been exposed." Major General Halsey said with a pale face.

At this time, the two two-seat F9 fighters of the Chinese Navy had discovered the location of the USS Saratoga, and they quickly reported to their own aircraft carriers, and then continued to monitor the movements of the US Navy from a distance.

On the aircraft carrier "Phoenix Mountain", the flagship of the Imperial Navy, Admiral Chen Houfu gave the order for carrier-based aircraft to take off, and 12 main aircraft carriers, a total of 48 F9 fighters, 48 dive bombers, and 48 torpedo attack planes, took off to attack the US Navy's "Saratoga" aircraft carrier.
