The Germans' route planning is still very good. The entire fleet is distributed from 5ooo meters to 35oo meters, and the torpedo aircraft has the largest load, so their altitude is the lowest, the bomber is about 4ooo meters, while the fighter is at the top. The fighter is at the front and behind is bomber and torpedo aircraft. According to the plan, during the battle, our combat opportunities have a height advantage. After attracting Japanese aircraft from the hollow to the high altitude, paving the way for subsequent attack aircraft. For some fish that still remain in the middle and low altitude, the fighter aircraft accompanying the attack aircraft are responsible for solving the problem. In order to ensure that the fleet covers the enemy, we always fly above the clouds. This provides convenience for our assault." After the war, a US military officer who participated in the air strike on Japanese aircraft carriers commented.

Well, when the first wave of aircraft groups of both sides is released, what are the aircraft carriers of both sides doing? The Japanese are hesitating because they are still preparing for fighter jets or second wave attack aircraft. However, it is easy for the Americans. Since almost all aircraft have been released, then they will naturally run away next. Otherwise, what are the two aircraft carriers that have used all aircraft to stay in place? Waiting for bombing? (I despise Yamaguchi, who has been released in history, continues to carry the main thunder of the Flying Dragon. As an aircraft carrier, you have no carrier-based aircraft, so why not run? Wait for the artillery battle with the US aircraft carrier after getting close?)

As dawn came, more and more Japanese reconnaissance planes appeared near the Constellation aircraft carrier. At this time, when the entire sea surface became clear, the Japanese Navy finally found a problem! First, the first problem they found was that there was only one aircraft carrier here, not the first two. The initial reconnaissance plane regarded a seaplane carrier as an aircraft carrier due to visibility or other issues, resulting in reconnaissance errors. Another problem was that there was no escort fighter over the aircraft carrier! This was an extremely abnormal thing. After all, according to the operation of the Japanese aircraft carrier, even if the Americans did not have time to prepare for the second wave of attack aircraft group, at least some escort fighter jets would be left behind!

Looking at the surrounding waters, there were only two lonely destroyers. As for the situation in front of them, Japan could figure it out with its knees. This time it was plotted by the other party, and the strongest wave of offensives concentrated by the Japanese Navy hit the cotton!

"First sink all the American fleet in this sea area, and then search for nearby waters and telegram to the fleet headquarters to explain the current situation. That's it!" Finally, looking at the lonely American warships on the sea, the commander of the Japanese attack aircraft fleet, Ichiro Kuroki, issued an attack order! There is no way, I have come, I can't go home empty-handed, right? As for searching for other American fleets in the surrounding waters? This is just a fantasy. Not to mention that since the Americans regard the aircraft carrier in front of them as bait, the main force of the fleet must be hidden in a place that they cannot reach. Even if it appears later, the Japanese aircraft fleet will not have the fuel to attack again!

As a result, the most excessive attack could be called the entire battle, even during the entire war, kicked off the stage. The Japanese naval carrier-based aircraft troops, which had passed 110, launched an attack on a slandered aircraft carrier and a seaplane! There was no American fighter in the entire sky!

First, there was a dive air strike by an attack formation composed of more than 20 bombers! These new dive bombers, which had just been equipped, dive down from a height of 3ooo meters with 25okg high-explosive bombs, and now they have completed bombings at an altitude of nearly 1ooo meters. Japanese bombers form a round of attacks for every 4 bombers, and at least 6 formations of bombers bombed in turn like windmills!

However, this round was enough for Constellation. Under the cover of two destroyers, Constellation frantically avoided bombs falling from the sky on the sea. The boiler was in an overload state. Excessive high-temperature and high-pressure steam was transported to the steam turbine. At the highest point, the entire turbine unit outputted thrust of over-rated power of 30%! It even once made the warship reach the 27th knot! But unfortunately, this degree is still much worse for the killers from the air!

The first two rounds of attacks were not effective, including the powerful air defense firepower of the Constellation aircraft carrier and the Japanese naval carrier-based aircraft troops. Apart from a bomb falling into the middle of the deck and opening a small hole in the deck, there was only one near the bomb. This near the bomb was 15 meters away from the warship, and because it used a semi-armor-piercing bomb, the killing effect was not good.

After all, the loading volume of less than 8 okg is even less than the power of an explosion of a small mine at 15 meters away from the side of the ship. This level of underwater attack naturally has little effect on a regular American aircraft carrier that uses a five-layer defense system, but it only brings less than 150 tons of water inlet to the warship!

"The lethality of the 25okg-level bomb is far less than expected. The United Fleet has always emphasized the breakdown effect of armor-piercing bombs on horizontal armor, but it has proved that even if the 25okg bomb is thrown at a higher height, the penetration depth is still very bad. The Americans can only ensure the safety of the core compartment if the horizontal armor is slightly stronger. As armor-piercing bombs, if they cannot penetrate the opponent's armor, the destructive power of the explosive on the deck is very limited. We can only smash a hole in the deck, and the opponent can repair it with a few wooden boards."

"From our observation of the approach of this American aircraft carrier, we can see the effect of the six-based bomber troops bombing warships a few days ago. The 5ookg high-explosive bomb and the usual bombing of the deck on the aircraft carrier are obvious. Even in the air, we can see a large bulge behind the deck of the US aircraft carrier. Here, it should be that after the bomb penetrates the deck, it explodes inside the hangar, causing the energy to twist and deform the entire steel beam supporting the deck. Such deformation is obviously fatal to the aircraft carrier's aviation operation. Simple piercing can be blocked and then leveled, but this powerful explosive force that causes structural deformation completely destroys the usefulness of a considerable section of the deck."

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the Japanese were able to carefully observe the results of this bombing. However, what made the Japanese naval carrier-based aircraft troops feel even more embarrassing not only the poor hit rate at the beginning, but more importantly, the hit effect is not great... I have to say that the 25okg bomb is really embarrassing when facing large warships.
