"The Japanese plane is dispatched! It's so fast! Has we determined our exact location?"

Several clearer satellite photos were spread out in the command room of the 102 "Hengshan" battleship. Seeing the Japanese army's posture, the dense but orderly cluster of fighter jets in the sky, Cheng Yaoliang, who was the staff officer for Chen Shaokuan, couldn't help but be amazed.

From the first encounter between the two sides to the launch of the Japanese fleet, the interval between them was less than half an hour. Such a huge group of warships completed the steering, the aircraft carrier took off in the wind and deployed clusters, with almost no drag on the water. The proficiency was really shocking!

Chen Shaokuan smiled faintly and said, "This is the level that the Japanese Navy should have. Many years ago, they were able to defeat the Beiyang Navy and defeat the Russian Far East Fleet, not purely by luck. It was a result of strict training and overall quality. The spirit of daring to fight together. Our Chinese Navy still lacked a lot in this regard. It was not easy to catch up with a century-old foundation. In comparison, our overall life is still very immature. However, fortunately, there is enough technical compensation."

This generation of Japanese navy is the essence of carefully selected selection. Tens of thousands of people gathered in the fleet. As commanders, no matter how they change, how the captain and staff rotate, once it reaches wartime, they can immediately run like arms and fingers. The efficiency is indeed so high that people can say nothing about it.

Fortunately, the bad habits that the Japanese roots rooted in their bones cannot be changed, which leads to them always having huge flaws. If they grasp them, they can cleverly avoid their advantages, and a fatal blow can kill him.

Only by knowing all this can Chen Shaokuan remain unmoved and as peaceful as Mount Tai.

Looking down at the chart, he continued: "It's actually nothing strange. The Japanese army's search radius will not be less than 250 kilometers, but we certainly didn't expect that we would exceed too many, so there are not many searches forward. Once we encounter reconnaissance aircraft, we can immediately determine where we are and cut their search range. There is actually only one result left. And our fighter jets are unlikely to be too far away from the fleet, so it is easy to draw conclusions by calculation."

The fleets of both sides were traveling at speeds of 25 knots and 33 knots respectively. Now almost an hour has passed, and the distance between the two sides is no more than 150 nautical miles. For fighters, it is a half-hour range, which can just launch an attack. If the Japanese army dares to hesitate, it means that their commander is seriously unqualified.

"Then we can't delay it, the fighter planes take off immediately!"

The first thing that can deal with aircraft is the aircraft. The two "Hero-class" aircraft carriers of the First Squadron are loaded with 54 fighters, each with 30 fighters, and dive bombers take off one after another, and they are scattered at high speed from the 245-meter straight deck, rushing into the air one by one!

This 20,000-ton aircraft carrier, which was completed and put into service the year before yesterday, is slender in size. It is very similar to the "York City Class" in the United States, but it is more compact and sturdy overall. It is reinforced by a large amount of high-strength alloy materials. Although it has a standard displacement of only 20,000 tons, it has armor not less than 203mm thick, and the armor thickness in key parts is even 305mm. It is a composite armor made of high-strength alloy and basalt fiber, which is extremely strong.

The overall structure optimized by three-dimensional modeling design is simpler than that of the Americans. The large number of electric drives and intelligent management controls have greatly reduced the number of ship-borne members, with only 1,600 people. Four steam turbines and two diesel turbines provide up to 120,000 horsepower, allowing the warship to run at least 33.5 knots, and if necessary, it can be increased to 37 knots in a short time, which requires the Tesla turbine to start at full speed, and the supercharger and high-temperature turbines to work at full capacity.

Turning to the windward surface, the fighter jets that took off at a speed of 33.5 knots had an initial speed faster than Japanese aircraft, and the takeoff efficiency was faster with the assistance of three catapults. It didn't take long for the first batch of 72 fighters and 36 dive bombers to take off, and the deck was empty.

The fleet is almost the same as the original model. The f-24c used for air combat has improved the jaw intake and foldable single wing, which is higher quality than the army and is naturally more expensive, while the speed is reduced to 590 kilometers, so that the engine can work stably for a longer period of time.

The dive bombing type F-25 focuses on strengthening low-altitude stability and abdominal armor, reducing two heavy machine guns, increasing the wings and belly hanging capacity, which can carry a maximum of 1,000 kilograms of bombs, or airborne light torpedo launches a dive attack on sea targets, and the maximum speed is reduced to 520 kilometers per hour.

The two types of fighter jets with similar appearances mixed together, which can easily confuse their opponents. Hundreds of fighter jets were divided into squadrons and circling over the fleet. Just as the Japanese army fleet rushed to a distance of about 100 kilometers, they rushed up like a hustle and waved!

The number of Japanese aircraft groups was obviously superior, and the speed and posture of the fierce attack seemed to be in stalemate. However, just in a little contact with the intercepted aircraft group, he suddenly pulled away and continued to accelerate and rushed forward regardless of the situation!

An air raid alarm sounded over the First Squadron. Looking at the red spots of Japanese planes that were approaching rapidly on the radar, Chen Shaokuan couldn't help but be surprised: "I refuse to fight head-on. I want to pull the battlefield to our heads!"

Cheng Deliang was a little young and couldn't help but look serious immediately: "In this way, our powerful air defense firepower will be difficult to exert. If one is not good, he will accidentally hurt himself! Japanese devils, it's enough!"

Chen Shaokuan smiled indifferently: "Fighting is about each of them taking plans. The Japanese army suffered so much loss. If they were not smarter, they could all commit suicide together."

From 33 years to the present, there have been no less than a hundred fighter jets killed by the task force's air defense firepower. After suffering losses again and again, they finally understood that the so-called "fighter jets that are fast enough can ignore the defense of ship-based artillery" is aimed at their own ragged air defense weapons, which is not feasible in front of the task force.

Therefore, since Mine Mitsumasa suffered a great loss in the Battle of the South China Sea, he has worked hard to strengthen the air defense capabilities of his warships, while trying every means to crack the dense fleet air defense firepower network. Now, despite having high-speed fighters, he is still a little worried about breaking through and blocking, so he simply pulls the battlefield to the top of the fleet and makes a desperate move. He wants to get someone to bury him even if he dies. It's cruel!

But just that is obviously not enough!

Chen Shaokuan's style did not decrease, a trace of evil spirit flashed across his face in the New Year. He waved his hand gently and said calmly: "Don't stop them, let them rush over! The main task of the aircraft group is to stop the second batch of fighter jets. As long as they are not allowed to combine them into one, there will be no problem!"

Yamamoto Izuru's experience was indeed not a good idea. He took off two large aircraft groups at one time, but they rushed up in a hurry. The defense was that the opponent was trying to get cold hands. Since he advocated the victory of the Air Force, he would never let his fleet be attacked with open doors. The second batch of fighter jets could be used as the first batch of subsequent attacks or supporters, and the other was to serve as part-time guardian of the fleet.

The hedging speed of the two sides, with an average speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, was too fast! In less than half an hour, they both saw their opponent's fleet. The difference is that the 120 Japanese fighters were surprised to encounter direct air blocking, but immediately made a quick decision and swarmed towards the most obvious large battleships and aircraft carriers in the fleet!

On the other hand, 72 F-24cs fought with the Japanese left-behind aircraft group in a group. 36 dive bombers were eager to try around the edge of the Japanese fleet, and the provocative anti-aircraft artillery was spreading!

From the bridge of the Akagi, you can clearly see the air combat situation stirring together in the clear sky. Under the 80mm high-power telescope, the posture of silver war eagles flying up and down made the Japanese Navy thrust. Because they were shocked to find that in just three or two minutes, their fighter planes began to fall down! A group of bomb-mounted guys were eyeing them from the side!

"Why don't they...attack the fleet?! It seems that in order to intercept their fighter planes, our second batch has been entangled!"

The Sanben Staff had never seen a battle with the Chinese Air Force, so it was a bit strange. It was correct to kill the opponent by number. According to the customs of the Japanese Navy, if there were dozens of dive bombers, they could definitely launch a fierce attack on the fleet.

Yamamoto Izuru smiled and said, "You don't understand that this army has a very strange habit. They seem to cherish soldiers and weapons very much, and are usually unwilling to do risky attacks, although there is a great possibility of success."

The three-book adviser suddenly realized: "Oh, it seems that their excellent soldiers are very rare, and the manufacturing of weapons is very difficult, right? After all, China's strength is far worse than that of the empire!"

To use one's own heart to judge people's hearts, Sanben thinks that's the case. They are all poor countries, and it's not easy to get some people, equipment, etc., and the loss is a little less. Just fight, just win.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look disdainful: "It seems that there is a reason why China is surpassed by us! As a warrior, he dare not sacrifice himself. He attaches too much importance to weapons and cannot achieve great victory. I believe that these guys' first wave of attacks are invalid and will be killed by us soon!"

Yamamoto Iroku nodded without commenting, and said nothing.

In the air force's combat, the primary task is to kill the opponent's flight power and destroy the flight base. In the army, it is the airport, and in the navy, it is the aircraft carrier!

120 mixed Japanese aircraft bypassed and blocked the enemy and rushed straight into the task force. Faced with the relatively tightly arranged formation, a group of bloodthirsty guys couldn't help but show their joy, which would be even more convenient! Don't worry about not being able to hit the target, right?

The two battleships and two aircraft carriers are staggered in front and back, in the center of the entire diamond formation. Four heavy cruisers are scattered on both sides, and the outermost periphery is more than a dozen destroyers, with the distance between the head and tail less than 5 nautical miles and the width is less than 10 nautical miles on the left and right. For fighter jets, they are just spaces that swept by.

20 kilometers apart! The six 18 406mm main guns of the two battleships were raised by 45 degrees, and fired in succession with the help of the deflection angle of the ship. A water-driving scattering ammunition roared out of the chamber and exploded suddenly at close range. With the earth-shaking loud noise, tens of thousands of fragments and prefabricated fragments exploded with a radius of two or three hundred meters under the urging of hundreds of kilograms of charge per shell. The eighteen explosion points seemed to measure them with a ruler. Under the natural dispersion of the artillery, a huge flame wall was formed evenly, and they rushed to the Japanese army group!

But just as fireworks emerged from the muzzle, the entire group of Japanese planes looked like frightened birds, "Hulala" spread out from all directions, with 9 squadrons as small groups, ranging from hundreds of meters to one kilometer in a group, forming multiple impact layers from high to low, most of which avoided the explosion range and began to dive safely.

There were less than ten unlucky guys who hit the fragments, but most of them were not seriously injured. Only two seemed to have their engines and fuselage destroyed, and they fell to the sea with thick smoke. The pilots did not jump until they broke. Well, or there was no umbrella to jump, and it was their "fine tradition".

Wang Wenda smacked his lips with a pity and sighed: "I just said that this kind of dispersing shells is useless, right? Look, 18 rounds cost at least 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars. There were only two shots in total, and I lost them! Boss Zhu must be heartbroken!"

At this time, he still had the leisure to plot against such a bad debt, which made Fu Zhenhua laugh and cry, and scolded: "You just focus on doing serious things! If the Japanese were asked to throw the bomb onto the warship, then there would be a headache!"

"He dares!" Wang Wenda's eyebrows stood up and frowned and shouted, "If you borrow their courage, you have to borrow eight points of luck. You can't reach our warships. If you have the ability, you can break the first level first!"

Following his voice, on the dozen destroyers on the periphery, each of three dual-equipped 127mm45-caliber high-level dual-purpose cannons were ready. Under the operation of the fleet cluster control unit, it was like a boiling crater, and a dazzling fire was undulating and shining. The total number was as high as hundreds of cannons sprayed out projectiles and rushed to the sky!

The improved MK-15 artillery with a maximum firing height of 13.5 kilometers, with a firing rate of 15-22 rounds per minute, forms a super large bowl of arc formation on the wide sea surface, 20 rounds of bullet supply drums to ensure the sustainability of firepower. The whole VT radio burst fuse intertwined into a death fire net that soared into the sky. Just as the Japanese army fleet swooped over, they exploded together!

Above the ocean, it was like thunder falling, and the rumbling sounds formed a rolling tide. The originally uneven sea surface was stirred up into waves, which were reflected in the orange flames and gunpowder smoke in the sky!

The Japanese army fleet was very cunning, and the seemingly collectively advanced posture was just a move. Less than 20 aircraft were really caught in the fire blocking network. Most of them either suddenly fell or climbed upwards temporarily, causing most of the shells to emptied! The two-year training period allowed them to fully master the technology of dealing with extremely accurate air defense fire networks. They were slightly attracted to avoid bombarding the front!

More than 70 fighter jets then turned their heads in reverse, crossed over the destroyer and rushed straight to the inner circle! (To be continued)!~!
