Chapter Twenty-Six: Shoot Down! Sunk!

"The forward fleet was hit by only twelve missiles."

"There will only be a group of thirty-eight aircraft to attack."

"Yo Si."

In a certain compartment of the flagship Yamato, in the headquarters of the Combined Fleet, Vice Takeshi Toyoda proved a conclusion that made him excited:

"This shows that the enemy's strength on Guam is seriously insufficient, and they have not had time to deploy sufficient defensive forces."

"The commander is right."

The Black Sky Staff Officer on the side nodded in agreement.

Based on previous intelligence analysis.

The enemy has at least 25 missile attack planes, each of which can carry four missiles, and generally five are dispatched for a combat group, with a cruising speed of 400 kilometers per hour, and it will take about an hour and a half to reload.

And this time the enemy made only three missile attack sorties, and it is clear that Guam is not deployed in sufficient numbers.

And also.

Immediately after the missile attack, there were torpedo attack planes and dive bombers, and the number was only 378, which was completely different from the more than 50 planes that had been seen in the past.

Before that—

In more than a dozen operations to break through the subcontinental route, even a single destroyer, the enemy directly dispatched 54 torpedo dive attack planes and rushed over in a swarm.

Outrageous.

Moreover, the forward fleet was attacked at a distance of 150 kilometers from Guam, and with the range of missile attack planes and the time to replenish it, there was enough time to launch a second attack, but the enemy did not do so, but immediately launched a group of torpedoes and bomber attack planes.

This shows that the enemy in Guam is seriously under-numbered in the number of combat aircraft, and it also shows one thing: the enemy very much does not want the forward fleet to get close to Guam and tries to hide the current situation in Guam.

"This group of mud-legged people don't know how to fight at sea after all!"

Kuroda snorted coldly.

Naval warfare is not the same as land warfare.

In a land war, it is necessary to try our best to conceal the situation of our own positions, but in naval warfare, it is not meaningful to conceal our own roadbed positions, and we must eventually return to the absolute collision of strength.

Unless you also have a fleet of corresponding strength, or a large shore-based air force, otherwise.

Defeat!

"How long will it take us to get 200 kilometers outside of Guam?"

Vice Takeshi Toyoda asked.

According to the analysis of past combat intelligence, the enemy has a large aircraft flying in the sky, which can detect the traces of the fleet more than 200 kilometers away, and entering the range of 200 kilometers means entering the enemy's field of vision and entering the enemy's attack range.

"Seven and a half hours, it is expected to arrive 200 kilometers outside Guam early tomorrow morning."

Immediately a staff officer answered.

"Command."

Vice Takeshi Toyoda ordered:

"Aviation units ready."

Although the enemy's strength is insufficient, it should not be underestimated.

During the Battle of the Ryukyus, the enemy had a record of deploying 305 shore-based guns on the outer islands within 20 hours. And now, forty-four hours have passed since the enemy occupied Guam.

Although the Yamato's 460-mm cannon was invincible, he didn't want to fight the enemy's shore-based guns at night.

Night vision devices, radars, these night combat weapons the enemy has, and they are very advanced, the most advanced in the world, not to mention that the enemy's artillery technology is very good, and the accuracy of the cannons created is very high.

As the commander of the Devil's Combined Fleet, Vice Takeshi Toyoda naturally will not be stupid, he is ready to attack during the day, and the first wave will send aviation forces to attack.

Fighter planes clear out enemy attack groups, seize air supremacy, and by the way, look for the mysterious plane that can spot the fleet from 200 kilometers away. Attack aircraft went to destroy enemy airfields, as well as island facilities.

After that, the main fleet approached the artillery bombardment, destroyed the port and other facilities, and landed to completely drive the enemy back.

······

"To discover the enemy's main fleet."

At the same time, after flying 300 kilometers to the west and circling for half an hour, the AWACS aircraft No. 1 sent back the message that the main forces of the enemy's combined fleet were not found.

"The little devil is quite cunning."

Zhang Dabiao narrowed his eyes.

To the west, that is, to the direction of the devil's homeland for two hundred kilometers, no trace of the devil's fleet was found, either the main force of the devil's fleet did not come at all, or the fleet made a detour.

Zhang Dabiao's judgment is the latter.

According to the intercepted Devil's telegram, the Devil's Forward Fleet has informed the main force of the Devil's Combined Fleet that chaff jamming missiles can interfere with missiles, and the show of weakness has been successful.

There is no reason for the devils to run away and retreat, and let them occupy Guam.

Even if Toyota's vice president wants to do this, the devil's top management will not agree, this is one of the devil's main overseas lifelines, and the rich materials in Southeast Asia are all transported here.

He then went on to order:

"The missile attack aircraft was immediately loaded."

"AWACS aircraft No. 2 and No. 3 took off."

With the combat radius of the bomb truck, counting the round-trip reloading time, they only have two chances to attack, so they must know the location of all the warships of the devil in advance before they can be completely annihilated.

This time, the Devil's Combined Fleet was almost out of the nest, leaving only a few destroyers and heavy patrols.

Fortunately, the weather was beautiful today, the weather was good, the wind was beautiful all around, and the weather in May was so peaceful that the Pacific Ocean around Guam was so peaceful that there was not even a single storm.

Actually, it was the information obtained from Boss Chen in advance.

"Yes."

The staff officer immediately went to prepare.

This time, the missile attack aircraft was loaded with real unweakened missiles.

Half an hour later, under the tube, the missile attack planes that had been expanded to five began to carry missiles, refueled, and the pilots rested, and at the same time, two AWACS planes also slowly took off from the steel runway.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Dabiao said to Huang Quan beside him:

"The devil has taken a detour, and it is estimated that the battle will be during the day."

The most troublesome scenario envisaged is that the devils attack at night and carry out indiscriminate shelling close to Guam.

Except for a very small number of elites, most of the pilots of the unit could not take off at night to fight, and for these pilots who were out of the woods, it was too easy for them to plunge into the dark sea.

"Sun and Moon"

For this reason, the regiment commander specially asked Boss Chen to order eighteen sixteen-inch heavy guns and large artillery radars, in fact, he wanted to order a super-large night vision device, but there was really no distance of thirty kilometers.

"Now, we can lie down for a while."

Glancing at his watch, Zhang Dabiao exhaled.

Since the devil has taken a detour, there are at least five hours left before the battle.

······

Two hours later.

"The devil's fleet was discovered, located four hundred kilometers north of Guam, heading towards Guam at a speed of twenty-three knots."

"The devil fleet was discovered, located four hundred and thirty kilometers south of Guam, heading towards Guam at a speed of twenty-three knots."

AWACS aircraft finally discovered the location of the Devil Combined Fleet.

"Actually divided the troops to attack."

Zhang Dabiao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

He didn't expect that the little devil not only made a detour, but also divided his troops to attack on the southeast and southeast sides at the same time, and while maintaining radio silence, the two routes of the division of troops could still reach Guam almost at the same time.

The Combined Fleet of Devils was scattered and hastily moved, during which the telegraph only had intensive contact on the mainland, and then it maintained radio silence all the way, so that it could be done.

Zhang Dabiao, who talked to Wang Gensheng, knew very well that the difficulty of this pair was not ordinarily high.

It was relatively difficult to do on land, and during the guerrilla period, even if a new regiment was divided, the division of troops to attack often failed in the coordination of the two sides.

And on the sea, I don't want to be on land, I can accurately calculate the range, and if the angle deviates a little, it may be a few hundred kilometers, and the little devil can only do it by 30 kilometers, which is indeed a bit of ability.

"After all, we are the third navy in the world, and although we have an advantage in technology, the gap in basic skills is not ordinarily large."

Huang Quan on the side couldn't help but admire.

There is nothing to avoid this, the regiment commander often praises the little devil, after all, the devil navy has been established for decades, and it is normal for him to be compared.

"It's a pity."

Zhang Dabiao's yin and yang weird tsk:

"This war is not a basic function that determines victory or defeat."

Up to now, Zhang Dabiao has profoundly realized the decisive impact of technology on warfare.

······

A few hours later.

Early morning.

"The devil's fleet is two hundred and fifty kilometers away."

The AWACS aircraft again came with the message.

"The reconnaissance plane takes off, and there should be no dead ends."

Zhang Dabiao immediately ordered.

Although the AWACS aircraft is very powerful, it is not invincible, and many times there will be miscalculations and omissions, so there can be no less reconnaissance aircraft, and the devils are really just these two fleets?

No one can be sure that Zhang Dabiao does not want a devil fleet to bombard Guam.

Not even a destroyer.

Subsequently, he gave the order to attack:

"First Brigade, Second Brigade, Third Brigade..."

With Zhang Dabiao's order, a thousand attack planes and fifty jet fighters rushed towards the devil fleet in two batches.

At the same time.

"Take off."

On the devil's aircraft carrier, one fighter plane after another, the torpedo planes started their engines, assembled in formation, and pounced on Guam.

But after giving the order, Toyota's vice president fell into hesitation.

In this battle, the Combined Fleet must fight, no matter what the enemy is, even if the enemy has superior forces on Guam, he must attack, and he must recapture Guam, otherwise, the Locust will change the commander of the Combined Fleet who agrees to attack Guam.

This battle, regardless of the balance of strength, must be fought.

It's just that.

Thinking back to what the enemy had done for so long, he instinctively had a bad premonition in his heart.

Didn't the enemy anticipate that they would attack Guam?

Guam is more than 3,000 kilometers away from their mainland, and the transportation of materials is certainly not as good as that of Natuna and the Ryukyus, and in such a short time, it is inevitably impossible to transport a large number of materials - even if their mysterious transportation technology is very strong, but any means of transportation, the farther the distance, the lower the transportation speed.

It's just that.

Will there be other technological means, such as some kind of superweapon?

After thinking about it for a long time, Vice Takeshi Toyoda finally ordered:

"The Yamato and the Musashi are backwards."

These two ships are the super main force of the combined fleet, and the 460 mm main guns are the glory of the combined fleet of the empire, and what he thinks in his heart is that when Guam is confirmed to be safe, these two warships will come up and bombard it to show the strength of the empire.

Anyway, without these two warships, it will have no effect on the battle.

But Vice Takeshi Toyoda didn't know that although his order saved the two giant ships and saved his own life, judging from the ending, it was better to sink directly.

"The devil has dispatched a plane, at an altitude of four thousand meters."

Although it was impossible to specifically judge the number of aircraft, the AWACS aircraft immediately reported the found devil planes and the flight altitude.

"Let's go."

After receiving the news, Huang Quanmeng pushed down the accelerator, and the tail of the jet fighter plane he sat on spewed fierce flames, pushing the fighter to fly towards the devil group at a speed of 900 kilometers per hour.

······

"Enemy aircraft spotted."

At an altitude of 7,000 meters, Huang Quan took 25 jet fighters to discover the location of the devil under the guidance of the early warning aircraft, and successfully flew to the top of the devil's group.

But the devils apparently did not spot the enemy planes located 2,500 meters above them.

"Attack."

Taking a deep breath, Huang Quan gave the order to attack.

Suddenly, twenty-five fighters scattered and dived towards the devil's plane at an altitude of 7,500 meters, during which Huang Quan's eyes were staring at the devil's plane below, and in the cockpit, the value of the speedometer was also slowly rising.

Nine hundred, nine hundred five, nine hundred and eighty...

Aiming at the aperture, a ghost plane was bitten to death.

At this time, the devil finally discovered the enemy in the sky.

"Spread out, circumvent."

Due to the old strategic shift of the United States, there are still many elite pilots in the devil navy at this time, and these are all old devils who have survived under the old superior air force of the United States.

In the face of the enemy who swooped down at high speed, these devils made the right response at the first time.

But at this time, it was not the American F6F that attacked them, but a jet fighter with stronger performance than the MiG-17 and a maximum flight speed infinitely close to the speed of sound.

And it is a jet fighter guided by AWACS aircraft, which occupies the best position.

In the first round of dives, twelve Devil fighters were shot down.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, the elite pilots of these flight regiments immediately increased the throttle, continued to pull up, occupied the altitude and dived again, and in the second wave of attack, more than a dozen fighters were shot down.

There is no power to resist.

It's not that the little devils haven't resisted, and after the devils noticed that their speed was not as good as others, they immediately began to use the maneuverability of the propeller fighter and tried to break away.

True.

Propeller fighters do have good maneuverability at low speeds and a small turning radius, but in the face of high-altitude and high-speed cutting jets, no matter how you go around, you will be bitten in the aperture.

Without speed, what's the use of you going around in a big circle, someone else can adjust the direction of the nose slightly, how to escape?

And the devil plane is notoriously slow.

There was no suspense in the battle, except for a few Devil planes that were lucky enough to escape by lowering their altitude close to the sea, the rest of the Devil fighters were all shot down.

At this time, Toyota's deputy military had no energy to pay attention to the group of aircraft that were completely annihilated.

"Fleet One was attacked by five hundred attack aircraft."

"The Second Fleet was attacked by more than 500 aircraft."

"The third fleet was attacked by a hundred aircraft."

Telegrams were gathered in his headquarters, and all the devils fell into a dead silence.

They were wrong.

The enemy was not only well armed, but incredibly sufficient, to send a thousand attack planes to attack both the north and south fleets at the same time, and to separate one to intercept two heavy cruisers approaching from the east side of Guam.

"Retreat."

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda sighed, and in an instant he was more than ten years old:

"How much can you retreat."

Who would have thought that the enemy would be able to deploy more than 1,100 planes in just two days on Guam, 3,000 kilometers away from his homeland, and if he had known, he would have come at night.

That at least has a chance.

Four hours later, Toyota's eyes widened when he was reported to have suffered damage.

The enemy's torpedo planes and bombers had a combat radius of more than 700 kilometers, and in the face of the combined fleet approaching a range of 200 kilometers, the enemy launched two more attacks, totaling 3,000 sorties.

In the end, the combined fleet, which was almost overwhelming, finally survived six warships, except for the fast Musashi Yamato, only Yukikaze, and other four destroyers survived.

Moreover, chaff jamming shells do not seem to have a jamming effect on enemy missiles.

Poof·····

Toyota's deputy Wu Meng, who was aggrieved in his heart, didn't take a breath, a mouthful of blood spurted out directly, and then fell straight down.

After the fall of Toyota's vice-president, the devils hurriedly sent a report to the country.

This telegram not only let the locusts know the news of the fiasco of the combined fleet, but also the Americans knew the news.
