Chapter 1464 B-25 help
So, the Stuka behind could only continue to pile up, and on the front deck, one by one, was lifted from the hangar below.
Due to the limited deck volume of the aircraft carrier, it is impossible to stack all carrier-based aircraft on the deck. The most terrifying thing is that the island countries' aircraft carriers do not have side-side lifts, and their aircraft carriers all have openings on the deck in the middle, with three elevators in the front, middle and rear.
In this way, when they lift the carrier-based aircraft, the aircraft behind them cannot be released.
Otherwise, they just need to lift the zero battle from the side, and at this time, they will release the Stuka on the rear deck at the same time, and their efficiency will be greatly improved.
When Zero War was lifted out, it started quickly, leaning against the front deck part, Zero War drove at full speed and successfully flew away on the aircraft carrier that was turning to the wind.
One, two...
At normal times, they only let four or five zero battles be patrolling over the formation. Now, they need to release all zero battles quickly and efficiently!
This is a race against time. They want to compete with the Americans for time. As long as they release all zero battles before the American attack aircraft fleet arrives, a dense protective net will be organized over the aircraft carrier formation. If the Americans want to penetrate their own protective net, they will have to pay a great price. A few fish that escape the net will be wiped out by anti-aircraft guns.
Finally, all the zero battles were released, and Natsukatsu settled a little in his heart. He looked at the dense Stuka bombers at the back of the deck, and always felt something was wrong.
Should these bombers be released now or wait for information?
If they are released now, the target has not been determined yet, where should they fly? If they are waiting for information, should they put it back into the hangar and clear the rear deck? Otherwise, the aircraft carrier will not be able to perform recycling operations.
At this time, he suddenly remembered the German aircraft carrier, with a displacement of nearly 30,000 tons, and the deck area is much larger than that of his own. The most important thing is the angled deck. This way, takeoff and landing do not affect each other, is a genius idea.
It’s a pity that our side’s aircraft carrier has no time to modify it, and can only wait for the newly designed aircraft carrier.
While he was waiting, the pilots had already heard the radio, and the sound of roaring machine guns would come from time to time. The Zero War of Emergency Takeoff had already fought with the carrier-based aircraft that came to attack.
Fortunately, our reconnaissance plane discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!
For interception, the farther the distance, the safer it is. Intercepting at a long distance can intercept the opponent in multiple batches. If it is too close, there is only one chance. The air defense circle of the US aircraft carrier is almost 500 kilometers away, which is the reason.
Now, after the emergency takeoff, Zero War intercepted the target almost a hundred kilometers away, which gave the fleet a great buffer. At this time, they don’t have to worry about American planes breaking through the intercept network. They can also accelerate, turn, and leave the place of right and wrong.
The sea breeze blew on Nagashima Tadaichi's face, and his thoughts suddenly recovered. He had always been unable to grasp a thought, but now the lightning flashed out in an instant.
The Americans must have discovered their own formation in advance, otherwise why would they take off so early to attack?
From the north is a carrier-based aircraft released by the US aircraft carrier. So, will the Americans only have this wave of attacks?
Of course not!
There are also many American military bases in the Hawaiian Islands southeast of our country. The Americans deployed a large number of planes here because they deceived the Americans and targeted the Aleutian Islands, which was considered to have mobilized these planes in the past.
Now, the American aircraft carrier formation has returned to the rescue, so what about the various aircraft that the Americans mobilized to the Aleutian Islands?
Thinking of this, he felt that the hair on his back was about to stand up. He had just released all the Zero War, but they didn't leave a few to serve as reserve force!
"Take off four Stukas, unload the bombs, and escort the aircraft carrier airspace." He immediately issued an order.
As a professional dive bomber, Stuka has poor combat performance, but it is also an aircraft after all. In the face of helplessness, rely on Stuka to block it first!
When the order was received, the personnel on the deck were still very strange, but they did not question it and immediately made preparations before taking off.
Stuka was full of bombs. Now, they had to remove the bombs before they could be released. Since there was no place, the bombs removed were piled on the deck first.
A deck operator guided the Stuka bomber to the takeoff area. Just as he was fully focused, the deck's lookout whistle shouted loudly: "American bomber!"
Suddenly, in the clouds southeast of our side, there were two-engine American bombers coming out!
They rushed up in black, and the number was definitely more than one hundred!
This is an old acquaintance of the islander. When the United States retaliated against the attack, it resolutely took off from the aircraft carrier!
Excellent twin-engine bombers assume the versatile responsibilities, and the B-25 bombers are similar. To date, the United States has equipped this aircraft with more than 200 aircraft in the Pacific Fleet.
They were originally stationed in Hawaii, but were later moved to the Aleutian Islands. Last night, they drove the bomber back to Hawaii overnight despite their fatigue. Then, without resting for two hours, they received news that they discovered the island aircraft carrier formation. So they flew over 800 kilometers and found the island aircraft carrier formation.
At this time, they had the right opportunity to catch up. The island-sized aircraft carrier formations were entangled with naval carrier-based aircraft, so that the air defense power here was extremely empty, so they could take advantage of the opportunity to enter!
"Quick, take off Stuka, take off Stuka immediately!" There was chaos everywhere on the decks of the two aircraft carriers.
Before the bomb was removed, the pilot pushed the throttle to his head. With the roaring engine, Stuka slid from the front of the deck, took off, and climbed up, it threw away the bomb it carried by itself and wanted to fly towards the direction of the American bomber.
Unfortunately, the number is too small. Before the arrival of American bombers, the takeoff of several Stukas was simply useless.
