    Chapter 339: One to Ten

    ˇ°But if all thirty torpedoes from thirty bombers can be fired, and more than ten are hit, it may not be possible to sink an aircraft carrier.

    At this time, the two squadrons chose the USS Los Angeles and the USS Washington on the far right for bombing. It was still difficult to sink the aircraft carrier with scattered bombs and torpedoes. Moreover, they had to avoid anti-aircraft shells and anti-aircraft shells flying in one after another.  The interference of Lu¨¤n's US military aircraft will greatly reduce the hit rate.

    However, the results were soon seen. A torpedo with rapidly moving water spray was fired at the USS Los Angeles aircraft carrier on the far right of the fleet. Since the angle was almost perpendicular to the center side of the aircraft carrier, the distance was a hundred meters away.  There wasn't much time left to maneuver.

    The sailors of the Los Angeles pointed at the torpedo on the sea through the glass window and shouted frantically. The helmsman had a tense face. After making an emergency turn to the left in an attempt to avoid the torpedo attack, he found that it was too late. There was a huge roar.  The torpedo was fired two meters below the water on the right side of the aircraft carrier, and the torpedo hit the target accurately.

    The Los Angeles made a dull vibration, but its huge body did not sway from side to side, but remained stable. Although a large hole with a diameter of about two meters appeared under the right chord, sea water rushed from the hole.  The water flowed in, but the design of the water separation tank limited the part of the aircraft carrier that was subject to water penetration, and soon the seawater stopped flowing into the aircraft carrier.

    The Los Angeles maintained its high speed and continued to maneuver left and right to avoid torpedo attacks. Soon an H-2 aircraft on the deck roared past at a height of more than 30 meters. In the eyes of the American artillerymen, the shadow of the aircraft became increasingly visible.  It was bigger and bigger, and several shells were fired, but there was no shadow of the H-2 plane. The plane roared past and dropped two 50-kilogram bombs.

    With two huge explosions and the wild shouts of the US sailors, a US torpedo aircraft parked on the deck was hit and exploded immediately. The aircraft immediately caught fire, with thick flames mixed with thick liquid.  Black smoke billowed up, and the fire quickly spread to the surroundings. Several more aircraft were caught by the fire and began to catch fire.

    Another shell landed on the bridge of the US military ship. After a bang, the huge bridge disintegrated and various fragments were scattered in all directions. A US military communications room was blown open, and the body of a communications soldier inside  He was thrown directly out like a flying fish in the air, fell heavily to the deck, and then screamed and vomited blood and died.

    On the USS Australia destroyer, Edel was holding a tall beer belly and was communicating with other warship commanders through a huge radio communicator with a frown.

    The sudden attack by the South China Sea Fleet made Adel feel suffocated. The long-worried air attack finally happened.

    Before approaching Hawaii, Edel had made a plan to discover the enemy first. He attempted to use the redundant reconnaissance ships of the Atlantic Fleet, which was approaching from north to south, and the ships that had escaped in advance from the US military bases in Hawaii and Midway to form a plan.  A huge reconnaissance network tracks the whereabouts of the South China Sea Fleet.

    "The aircraft of the Adel Fleet have never stopped searching the nearby airspace. The aircraft they sent took turns to search the waters around Hawaii, but for more than a day, the whereabouts of the South China Sea Fleet were never found.

    ˇ°Obviously, the reconnaissance distance of the South China Sea Fleet is much greater than that of the Edel Fleet. If they want to rely on slow carrier-based aircraft to compete with the South China Sea Fleet in aerial reconnaissance capabilities, they are undoubtedly at a disadvantage, and the possibility of detecting targets before their opponents is very small.

    So Adel pinned his hopes on the more than two dozen reconnaissance ships sent by the U.S. military. The U.S. reconnaissance ships circled the ocean near Hawaii and conducted a large-scale, long-term mission in southwestern Hawaii where they believed the South China Sea Fleet was most likely to appear.  Time-consuming reconnaissance, but in the end there was no result. Several reconnaissance ships disappeared for no reason, and they have not yet been contacted.

    The missing US military reconnaissance ships have been boarded and inspected by the South China Sea Fleet and secretly sunk because they were determined to be suspicious ships. After being counter-tracked by the Zhenguo Army submarines, they then made a judgment and sent destroyers and helicopters to take photos and take pictures of them.  After being captured by radio stations and other facilities and determined to be a spy ship, they were immediately bombed and sunk.

    ˇ°However, in the vast ocean, it is not easy to get close to a fleet. At this time, other US military reconnaissance ships are still searching hard in the vast ocean, but have found nothing.

    Edel was not too surprised by the sudden attack by the South China Sea Fleet. He just felt that his technical skills were indeed inferior to others, and he could only sigh in despair.

    Beads of sweat dripped down Adel's cheeks. The wind from the fan still failed to relieve the heat in his heart. He could only feel the heat rolling from the back of his vest and chest to his neck, rushing straight into his head.  m¨¦n.

      "Have our planes come back yet? Let them speed up, otherwise it will be too late." Adel shouted fiercely into a thick walkie-talkie microphone.

    Due to technological backwardness, the U.S. military's communication equipment is relatively bulky and large, occupying an area several times larger than the fine communication system on the Zhenguo Navy warship. The walkie-talkie Adel is holding is as bulky as a brick.  It was ugly, and the voice quality was also very poor. Creaking noises came from inside from time to time, making the already hot and unbearable Adel even more irritable, and his tone became a little impatient.

    "No matter what, if they are to resist desperately, I don't believe that so many of our planes can't stop the Chinese attack?" Adel shouted into the phone, his body trembled slightly with the words, and his face turned slightly  Turn red.

    "Commander, our aircraft suffered heavy losses. One Chinese squadron defeated two of our squadrons. The performance of their aircraft is so superior that our aircraft are no match at all. Many aircraft have become targets for the Chinese.  They were already locked before they even had time to aim. Their aircraft's maneuverability is amazing." A middle-aged man's voice came from the microphone, and the man's frustrated words made Adel even more annoyed.

    Every word spoken by the middle-aged officer was like a sharp knife, piercing Adel's heart mercilessly, making his heart ache like blood.

    Adel stared blankly at the microphone for a moment, his arms trembling a little. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He had to lower his head in front of the painful fact.

    Before World War I, the Americans were not very active in developing aircraft and aircraft carriers. The most active ones were Britain and France, the participating countries in World War I. The British aircraft carriers and French aircraft were developed before the Americans.

    "But in fact, the United States' technological capabilities can produce the same type of equipment, but they are far away from the European battlefield, and their demand for new national defense equipment is not very strong, so they have not made great efforts to develop it.

    However, after China gradually demonstrated its strong military strength, Americans increasingly felt that things were not good. Germany's attempt to dominate the continent in Europe also strongly stimulated the nerves of the Americans, forcing the United States to follow the trend of the world to develop aircraft carriers.  and fighter jets.

    The United States' aircraft carrier manufacturing technology has the shadow of the British, and their aircraft manufacturing technology has the shadow of the French. Both European powers very much hope that the United States can participate in the war and help them defeat their opponents, so they give the Americans a green light in terms of military technology.  For almost all technologies that Americans want, Britain and France have promised to provide relevant information and technical personnel support.

    Therefore, in a short period of two years, the United States' military technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. In addition to the ability to design and build its own aircraft carriers, the aircraft manufacturing industry has also kept up with the most advanced pace in Europe. In addition, the U.S. Army's tanks and light weapons  The development of their tanks has also begun to take off. Their tanks have also combined the advantages of British and French tanks to develop their own Jaguar tanks. Although there is a clear gap with the Zhenguo Army Iron Armor No. 1, in terms of overall technical performance  , in the ranking of tanks in various countries in the world, the Jaguar can already rank second.

    In their previous predictions, the Americans did not expect that there would be such a huge gap in air combat between their aircraft and the aircraft of the Zhenguo Army. This is because a real air battle has not occurred worldwide, and the Americans underestimated the high-tech conditions.  They believe that the large number can make up for the lack of performance of the US carrier-based aircraft. The combat effectiveness of the Edel fleet can reach at least 70 or 80% of the South China Sea Fleet.

    But the ruthless results of the air battle that just happened above his head were like a heavy hammer, hitting Adel's already haggard heart deeply, making him feel an unbearable suffocation, and beads of sweat on his forehead were like water.  It slipped down and closed his eyes, making him feel some discomfort coming from his eyes.

    "What's the battle loss ratio?" After a moment, Adel, who was speechless, made an interfering voice, and his throat seemed a little hoarse and weak.

    "According to the pilots who escaped, our two squadrons lost eighteen dark horse fighters, while only two Chinese aircraft were shot down. The battle loss ratio was nearly one to ten. This ratio is really astonishing."  The young officer let out a painful sigh.

    "One to ten?" Adel was dizzy and almost lost his balance. He leaned on his arms to support the table next to him and barely managed to stand still. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he muttered something.

    Over Hawaii, the Zhenguo Army relied on its huge advantages in quality and quantity to achieve a battle loss ratio of nearly one to ten, which shocked Adel who later learned the news.

    At this moment, our own side has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, and the performance of the Zhenguo Army aircraft is still so high. It really makes Edel feel dizzy and can't believe what is happening in front of him.In fact, he seemed to have seen the scene of the fleet being blown to pieces by the enemy under his hands, which appeared in front of his eyes in advance, making his eyes look a little dull.

    In fact, the gap between the combat effectiveness of U.S. carrier-based aircraft and the aircraft of the Zhenguo Army is not only reflected in technology. They also lag far behind in training. The pilots of the Zhenguo Army had already received relevant skills training one after another before the aircraft carrier was built.  First, takeoff and landing training is conducted on the cement aircraft carrier on the shore, and then regular training is carried out on the completed aircraft carrier. The old pilots will lead the new pilots to conduct aircraft operation training. The trainer aircraft converted from the J-2 aircraft has also been equipped.  It took several years to create a batch of outstanding pilots.

    In addition to the pilots and air force aviation currently serving on the aircraft carrier, the Zhenguo Army is reserving a large number of pilots. It has established pilot training centers in Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou and other places, and has several land-based simulated aircraft carrier platform training bases.  In fact, in order to cope with the current war, the Zhenguo Army has reserved more than three times the number of active aircraft carrier pilots as reserve pilots. They will be added to active aircraft carriers and aircraft carriers about to be commissioned at any time to make up for the vacancies of sacrificed pilots.

    Moreover, Li Tiancheng, who has rich historical experience, is very clear about the importance of pilots' personal qualities in air combat. The experience of the First and Second World Wars shows that the pilot's ability will determine the outcome in the air. Experienced veteran pilots  The combat ability is much stronger than that of new pilots, who can easily be shot down in air battles.

    Some pilots with outstanding personal abilities have superhuman driving abilities and have shot down more than ten or twenty enemy planes in air battles. This is not something that can be achieved by luck, but is a manifestation of super personal ability, and it is also one of the very few.  The flying talent of pilots is much stronger than the performance of ordinary people.

    The pilot's feeling in the air and ability to adapt to the situation are very important. Pilots who have keen senses and can make accurate judgments promptly and quickly, and then combine their hands and brain to make precise maneuvers and firing actions can often get the upper hand and rely on the enemy before they open fire.  The ability to successfully escape with flexible maneuvers and enter the best position to lock on the enemy before the enemy escapes is crucial and not everyone can possess it and acquire it through training.

    The ability of an excellent pilot is accumulated through long-term training and actual combat. Some pilots can stand out quickly, while others progress more slowly. The so-called ace pilots can only be said to be the result of extremely talented and intensive training.  This kind of pilot is very rare.

    The hastily built aircraft carrier fleet of the US military has not been in service as long as the Zhenguo Army. The training theory and technical subjects are not as detailed and rich as the Zhenguo Army. The personal abilities of the pilots are generally inferior to the Zhenguo Army. It is not surprising that they are frequently shot down in air battles.  .

    The U.S. military did not fully estimate that the results of the air battle between the two sides would be so disparate. In fact, the Zhenguo Army was unable to make a correct judgment before, because using World War II aircraft to fight World War I aircraft was such an experiment.  No one has done it yet, so a more accurate judgment must be made through actual combat testing. The results at this time greatly relieved the Zhenguo Army's senior officials.

    Adel hung up the phone feebly, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and slowly sat on the chair next to him, staring blankly ahead, his eyes empty, and he fell into inexplicable anxiety.

    Edel had nothing to do at this time. He could only wait quietly for the results of the large-scale air battle that would follow. The battle had just begun. Then the second formation of the Zhenguo Army and other US military fighters would return to the aircraft carrier one after another.  , Only then will the most massive and fierce battle start.

    The Zhenguo Army aircraft, which had gained an absolute advantage, were still roaring in the airspace around the aircraft carrier. At this time, the J-2 aircraft had shot down more than thirty dark horse aircraft of the US military, and nearly ten dark horse aircraft were being chased and intercepted by the J-2 aircraft. The US aircraft  The attempt to get close to the aircraft carrier and then disrupt the bombers' bombings also played a certain role during this period. However, the rapid maneuvers of the J-2 aircraft overwhelmed them. Gradually, they were unable to take care of themselves and had little ability to protect the aircraft carrier.

    The US bomber formation was beaten to pieces. With the input of J-2 aircraft, the US bombers were hit one by one. Some caught fire and burned, some exploded and disintegrated, and some emitted black smoke and fell into the sea.  .

    The sky above the aircraft carrier fleet became very chaotic, with artillery shells and machine gun shells flying in all directions. The US military could not even tell which was its own aircraft and which was the aircraft of the Zhenguo Army. Anti-aircraft artillery frequently hit its own aircraft by mistake.

    With the sharp decline in the number of dark horse fighter jets in the US military, the US military's F¨´ bombers have become the targets of J-2 aircraft. The lost F¨´ bombers are like stupid pigs being chased by cheetahs, hiding everywhere, but they are helpless and unable to do anything.  He could only silently endure the fate of being shot down.

    The U.S. military stopped one after anotherThe aircraft on the deck caught fire and exploded. Four U.S. aircraft carriers were bombed in turn by four bomber squadrons. Each torpedo hit the aircraft carrier hull, and each artillery shell fell on the aircraft carrier deck.

    Adel, who was thinking hard in the armored command room, suddenly came to his senses, suddenly stood up from his seat, got up and walked quickly outside. After passing several corridors, he walked to the seaside.  At a window.

    The rumbling sound became more harsh and disturbing. Adel looked outside and saw that the five aircraft carriers in the distance were all on fire, but so far, none of the aircraft carriers had been sunk.  , which made Adel, who had been depressed for a long time, feel a little relieved, and there was a little more light in his gloomy eyes.

    Adel was relieved by the ability of a big guy like the aircraft carrier to withstand strikes, but the shattered planes on the deck of the aircraft carrier also made his heart ache.

    Looking at the miscellaneous floating objects floating on the sea, most of them were the wreckage of US military aircraft and the bodies of US military pilots, and some were just body parts. Adel's heart became even colder.

    The number of fighter planes in the sky is getting smaller and smaller. The shuttle planes are still dropping bombs and firing torpedoes at the aircraft carriers. The US fleet has become a bit disorganized and has lost the order it had at the beginning. The positions of the four aircraft carriers have to be avoided due to the need to avoid them.  The torpedoes are fighting independently and are no longer in a straight line.

    "The gap is really too big." With sad eyes, Adel looked at the messy sea surface and the scattered fleet, and sighed helplessly.

    And the air battle has lasted for nearly twenty minutes. Almost all the US military fighter planes hovering in the sky have been wiped out, and only a few planes are still making their final struggle.
