Several more US military aircraft appeared ahead, ready to intercept their way. Zuo Yunfeng decisively ordered the aircraft to attack. Five aircraft quickly penetrated and quickly entered the predetermined airspace to engage with three US military dark horse fighters. The remaining aircraft continued to move forward. go ahead.
After a short air battle, five J-2 aircraft shot down a US military aircraft and seriously injured one. Then the J-2 aircraft turned around and left in time. They had to follow the formation and drive forward. They also had to fly over the aircraft carrier. Protect the bombers and engage in decisive battles with US military fighters.
When Zuo Yunfeng led a huge formation of more than 70 fighter planes towards the Edel fleet, he never encountered a large group of US aircraft along the way. Because of the speed disadvantage of US aircraft, they had not had time to catch up. Come over, and let the Zuo Yunfeng formation successfully arrive at the sky above the Edel fleet after shooting down three or five scattered fighter planes. Five kilometers away, a huge US military fleet with nearly fifty surface ships appeared in front of them, occupying the area. An extensive sea area of ??approximately five square kilometers.
At this moment, Yunfeng looked out from the cockpit and saw that not far ahead, the Edel fleet was heading east at full speed, trying to escape from this sea area. However, the speed of the warship was almost negligible compared with the fighter planes. However, When a warship is maneuvering at full speed, the probability of being able to avoid torpedoes and bombs is much higher than when it is stationary, so maintaining high speed can minimize losses.
At this time, the U.S. fleet surrounded the aircraft carrier in the center, and opened a certain distance between the ships to expand the maneuvering range of the ships to avoid torpedo attacks and avoid collisions between warships when avoiding torpedoes.
Zuo Yunfeng stared sharply at the rapidly maneuvering Adel fleet. He squinted his eyes and glanced forward. Excitement gradually appeared in his eyes. The moment they had been waiting for had finally arrived, the largest aircraft carrier battle in the US military. The group finally surfaced, and this is also the largest fleet since the birth of aircraft carriers in the east and west. Being able to annihilate such an enemy fleet is of great significance to the Zhenguo Army and will be decisive for the following battle situation. Impact.
However, when Zuo Yunfeng glanced at the five US aircraft carriers, he saw that there were not many carrier-based aircraft on the decks of the five US aircraft carriers. Each aircraft carrier only had about a dozen fighter jets. There are only more than a hundred, and there are still some fighter jets taking off.
In the airspace ahead, many US military fighter planes have completed their assembly and are flying in their direction. When Zuo Yunfeng saw this situation, there was a big gap between the fighter planes' expectations of blowing up the US aircraft on the deck, and he suddenly became confused. Wei Wei is a little disappointed. Compared with the last time they slaughtered the Hawaiian fleet, the f¨¦ir¨°u in front of them is obviously much smaller. Most of the remaining US military aircraft have already taken off, which will cause a lot of trouble in the next battle.
Good luck cannot always befall the South China Sea Fleet. Zuo Yunfeng looked solemnly at the two fighter formations rushing towards him in front of him, followed by two or three bomber formations, about five Sixty US military planes rushed towards us with a huge roar.
The U.S. military also sent bomber formations to fight, obviously wanting to fight Zuo Yunfeng's formation. Although their bombers were weak in combat effectiveness, when the dark horse fighters entangled the J-2 aircraft, the U.S. noble f¨´ bombers could entangle the H-2 aircraft in the sky. , delaying their bombing of the aircraft carrier, also consuming their ammunition and damaging some aircraft, creating certain conditions for the aircraft carrier to avoid being devastated.
"The First Squadron, intercept the dark horse fighter jet of the US military."
"The four bomber squadrons maneuvered over from the right side, trying to get rid of the US bombers, do not get too entangled with them, and fly over the aircraft carrier as soon as possible to carry out bombing."
Zuo Yunfeng's eyes became more solemn. The enemy was obviously not weak, and the resistance would be great. He did not have much time to consider the current situation. The US military fighters in the surrounding sky would gradually arrive to participate in the battle. The mission of the fighter squadron was It is very heavy, and the entanglement of US bombers will make it more difficult for H-2 aircraft to drop bombs. In order to successfully sink and severely damage the aircraft carrier, most of their combat power must be eliminated in this airspace.
¡°However, the second formation of the South China Sea Fleet can also rush over the aircraft carrier in half an hour. As long as they join the battle, the possibility of the US aircraft carrier being severely damaged will greatly increase.
At this time, the mission of the Zuo Yunfeng formation is to try to eliminate the US military's air combat power so that when the second formation's bombers arrive, they can carry out the bombing more smoothly. The sacrifice of the first bo fighter formation will undoubtedly be very huge. , because they not only have to face eight U.S. fighter squadrons, but also face more than a dozen torpedo planes and bomber formations from the U.S. military to interfere with bombing. The U.S. military aircraft are as numerous as locusts, which will make them feel overwhelmed.?.
The heartstrings in the hearts of the soldiers became more and more tense, because this air battle will be the largest and most brutal battle that the Zhenguo Army aircraft carrier fleet has ever encountered. The enemy is no longer the Japanese combined fleet, which is weak and has no air combat power protection, nor is it the enemy. The Hawaiian fleet and the US military base in Hawaii have no numerical advantage, but they are opponents with powerful air combat capabilities.
All Zhenguo Army pilots are ready to die, with tense and solemn expressions, but the firm fighting will in their eyes has not weakened at all. Killing the enemy for the country has become the only thought in their hearts.
A huge roar soon occupied the entire sky, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be shaking, making a trembling sound. An unprecedented aerial battle was about to break out.
¡°Da da da da da¡¡± I don¡¯t know whether it was a J-2 fighter plane or a Dark Horse fighter that opened fire first, kicking off this fierce battle.
Then aerial artillery shells and machine gun shells roared past, filling the entire sky. This place had become a fighting field. J-2 aircraft rushed into the formation of the Black Horse aircraft and began to select targets to fire. The artillery shells were fired, hitting the enemy's aircraft and their bodies. The resolute and courageous pilots of the Zhenguo Army once again showed their fearless spirit and entered the enemy's formation without any scruples, bringing endless consequences to the enemy. Panic and heart-rending roars.
Due to their weakness in speed and maneuverability, the Dark Horse fighters chose a conservative formation, with every six aircraft covering each other to discover and intercept the J-2 aircraft as quickly as possible. The J-2 aircraft formed a group of three, frequently flying around in search of favorable conditions. Position, fire and shoot.
"N¨£in¨£i." A Zhenguo Army pilot rushed into the enemy formation, glared at the two closest US military planes in front of him, shouted, quickly changed direction and rushed over, with bloodthirsty excitement in his eyes, as if The goshawk looks like it has seen its prey.
He swung the wings of the plane flexibly, dodged the dense machine gun bullets of the US aircraft, quickly climbed to a high altitude, and then swooped down at high speed. Taking aim, he immediately shot a shuttle of bullets, and the bullets rained down on one of them. A dark horse fighter, the whole process was so smooth that the pilots of the US military formation were dazzled by the sight, envious of the performance of the J-2 aircraft, and also worried about the fate of their companions.
In the lonely eyes of the nearby US military pilots, the Dark Horse fighter jet burst into flames. The raging fire quickly enveloped the entire fighter jet, turning the Dark Horse fighter jet into a huge firebird.
The US pilot was immediately surrounded by fire. His twisted face trembled and trembled. With desperate eyes, the pilot painfully took out a military revolver placed in the box and pointed it at himself without hesitation. The sun's rays reached up, and after pulling the trigger, he immediately fell to the side of the seat. The plane crashed toward the sea with a buzzing sound.
Since old-fashioned aircraft do not have ejection devices, and there are no parachutes designed for pilots on US military aircraft, and the navy's sea surface search and rescue capabilities are very poor at this time, even if the pilot successfully parachutes and falls into the vast sea, the chance of survival is very low.
Therefore, when the US military designed the aircraft, it did not consider the possibility of allowing the pilot to parachute to escape before the aircraft was destroyed and crashed.
¡°Zhenguo Army aircraft are equipped with parachutes for pilots. In an emergency, the emergency button can be pressed to open the driver¡¯s window quickly, and the pilot can jump out in time.
However, during the battle, it is very likely that the cockpit will be damaged and cannot be opened at all. At this time, it is basically impossible to escape by parachuting. In addition, during low-altitude combat, parachuting is meaningless. It is possible that the parachute has not yet opened, and the pilot It had fallen to the ground and died.
When the Zhenguo Army pilot opened fire, another U.S. military aircraft suddenly maneuvered its wings and turned to the side, trying to take advantage of the J-2 aircraft's opening to fire by going around to its side and firing.
But the flexible J-2 aircraft quickly discovered this situation. The pilot easily pulled the control stick. After raising the nose of the aircraft, the aircraft began to climb again. After climbing a few meters, the aircraft suddenly turned to the right.
The US military aircraft desperately increased its speed, trying to turn around and aim at the side of the J-2 aircraft. However, the J-2 aircraft that quickly turned around had successfully escaped from the nose of the Black Horse fighter. When the Black Horse fighter pilot turned his face to look When he glanced at it, fear immediately filled his entire face and filled his rapidly beating heart.
This J-2 aircraft has completed one climb and two sharp turns in succession, while at the same time, the Dark Horse fighter only completed one large-radius turn, and the difference in maneuverability was immediately reflected.
When the position of the J-2 aircraft¡¯s nose was locked on the side of the Black Horse fighter, the Black HorseThe fighter pilot's face twisted and he pulled the control stick. The aircraft desperately raised its nose and slowly climbed upwards, trying to avoid the J-2 aircraft's lock.
But the J-2 aircraft suddenly made a sharp turn for the third time and flew directly behind the butt of the US military aircraft.
The Dark Horse fighter jet had just completed a clumsy maneuver, and its nose gradually lowered and stabilized into a horizontal state. When it flew forward rapidly, the J-2 plane had just flown behind his butt. This process seemed to happen in an instant. The U.S. military The plane has been firmly locked.
The four bomber squadrons of the Zhenguo Army were immediately divided into two groups according to the situation. One group faced the interception of about 30 US bombers, and the other two groups chose another airspace and prepared to go around from a position further to the right.
With a huge buzzing sound, bombers that were not fighter jets immediately became entangled. The US bomber was equipped with a 7.2 mm caliber machine gun. The machine gun was set up on the left hand side of the pilot, and the pilot was operating the aircraft at the same time. It also needs a firing machine gun, and the design is relatively simple, which makes it more difficult for the pilot to operate.
The design of the H-2 aircraft is more complicated. It carries two 102mm machine guns. On the left and right sides, the machine guns are not located on the outside like the US military. Instead, they are wrapped in armor. Only the machine guns can be seen from the outside. The flame outlet, but the gun body cannot be seen.
The H-2's machine gun is easier to operate and its firepower is slightly stronger. Although its maneuverability can not be compared with the J-2 fighter, there is a gap across the ages compared to the two-wing J-2 fighter jets of the US military. It also has speed and maneuverability. X¨¬ng is far ahead of the US military aircraft.
A fierce bomber-to-bomber air battle took place. In order to cope with the emergency, both carried full bomb loads. The H-2 aircraft carried one ton of bombs, including a 500 kilogram torpedo, and the Guifu fighter carried only two hundred bombs. Fifty kilograms, no torpedoes.
Thirty H-2 aircraft directly blocked the airspace on the right, acting as a barrier for the bombers of the other two squadrons, blocking the way of the US bombers.
"Da da da¡¡"
The two sides immediately started a fierce air battle, but the bomber's firepower was limited and its armor thickness was stronger than that of the fighter jet. Therefore, the battle was not as fierce as the battle between the J-2 and the dark horse in another airspace. The battle on the other side was like two The wolves bite each other fiercely, which is equivalent to two teams of bison fighting each other.
More than sixty bombers soon joined together in a chaotic battle. Some US military fighters and bombers saw the other two groups of H-2 aircraft bypassing the air area, with the obvious purpose of heading towards the aircraft carrier, and immediately flew back. In the past, they tried to protect the aircraft carrier, but soon J-2 and H-2 aircraft followed and got entangled with them.
The h¨²nlu¨¤n battle started fiercely in the airspace four or five kilometers away from the aircraft carrier fleet. Soon as they shuttled forward, the aircraft group gradually approached the fleet. In less than a minute, the H-2 aircraft of the two squadrons Having arrived over the US fleet, the fleet that fled in a hurry could no longer be peaceful.
¡°Bang bang bang¡¡±
The anti-aircraft artillery on the US destroyers and aircraft carriers fired immediately. The slow and clumsy US anti-aircraft artillery was of little use in front of the H-2 aircraft flying past. It was difficult for them to move at a speed that could keep up with the high-speed movement of the H-2. Weiwei fired the gunner. If you don't master the amount of advance, you won't be able to hit the plane at all.
Soon, several H-2 aircraft began to dive forward. They passed directly over dozens of US destroyers and flew towards the aircraft carrier located in the center of the fleet.
It was obvious that the seventy or eighty bombers and torpedo planes parked on the deck of the US aircraft carrier had no chance to take off. They immediately became the target of thirty H-2s.
A U.S. Navy bomber that had just taken off was hit by three oncoming H-2 aircraft. It emitted a burst of smoke and was shot down. The aircraft crashed into the sea. Before it fell, it almost fell onto the deck of the USS Los Angeles aircraft carrier. , staggered into the sea a few meters outside the side of the ship.
The pilot of the J-2 aircraft even saw the horrified expression of the US pilot, and before he entered the water, he was desperately banging on the canopy, trying to open it, and then jump into the sea, but in the end it was to no avail.
Once the plane crashed into the sea, the external pressure would increase and the possibility of the canopy being opened would be very small. Therefore, the pilot soon died in the sea with a distorted face, becoming the first person to be killed on a US aircraft carrier. A killed pilot.
"Escape, avoid" The various service personnel and pilots on the US military deck had given up letting the plane take off and hurriedly ran into the inner room. They knew that once the aircraft on the deck was hit, it would immediately catch fire, and the fire would cause They caused great threatsThreat, before the aircraft carrier is sunk, hiding in the huge inner space is still a relatively safe option.
Soon, only the anti-aircraft artillerymen were left on the lower decks of the five US aircraft carriers, roaring and firing shells into the sky. But as soon as they fired the shells, the opponent's aircraft had already roared past, and they usually fired at their own aircraft. During the aiming exercise, the hit rate of the US military aircraft was still acceptable, but at this time, they were immediately dumbfounded. This high-speed flight was a great challenge to the anti-aircraft artillery.
They frequently rotated the chassis of the anti-aircraft cannon and followed the movement of the aircraft, but they could never lock onto each other. They could only fire shells angrily to see if they could try their luck to bring down a few aircraft. As a result, their hands were sore. To no avail.
The entire airspace soon fell into an extremely chaotic state. In addition to dive bombing, the H-2 aircraft had begun to fire torpedoes to attack the aircraft carrier. One after another, huge torpedoes penetrated into the water and fired at the US aircraft carrier. Although maneuvering plays a certain role in avoiding torpedoes, the torpedo firing angle chosen by the H-2 aircraft is generally on the side of the aircraft carrier.
The best position to fire is around 90 degrees, but this is difficult to achieve. However, it is difficult for an aircraft carrier to avoid torpedoes fired at close range from the side.
However, the armor and design of the aircraft carrier itself can allow it to withstand multiple torpedoes and bomb attacks. If you are lucky, some aircraft carriers have been hit twenty or thirty times and can still continue sailing. This shows that its resistance is very strong. Yes, it cannot be sunk by just a few torpedoes.
If there are no guided torpedoes, the bombing effect of the H-2 aircraft will be even lower. The bombers of two squadrons will not have much chance of sinking the aircraft carrier, and even the chance of severely damaging an aircraft carrier is very small.
"After being equipped with guided torpedoes, the H-2 aircraft's torpedoes are like water, and the hit rate is greatly improved. It has exceeded one-third and is close to one-half.
