All-people naval warfare: from patrol boats to aircraft carrier fleets

Such losses are already quite heavy for today's No. 308 Island. The number of carrier-based fighter jets that can be used in air combat has been directly destroyed by half. There are currently less than 500 Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets that can take off to fight..

As a last resort, those Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers that were originally used more for bombing missions were also mobilized and converted into fighter jets to join the air interception operations.

Counting the Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers that temporarily serve as fighter jets, the island of No. 308 has just managed to gather a fighter force of about 1,000 aircraft. Combined with ground air defense positions, it may be able to play a certain role. defensive effect.

Since it was a defensive operation, of course it was impossible for all the 1,000 fighter jets to be released at once. According to the information provided by the ground radar station, the total size of the incoming fleet was only about 200.

This number made everyone on the 308th island, including the parliament and the airport commander, feel relieved. It even led to a wrong judgment, that is, after last night's air raid, the total number of the opponent's carrier-based aircraft units That's about 1,000 aircraft.

In the case of attacking in batches, the intensity of each wave of attacks is not too strong. With the current strength of their"557", it should be enough to deal with it.

With this judgment in mind, a mixed formation of more than 300 Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets and Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers took off directly from six ground airports.

Island No. 308 also did not dispatch all its air power. Instead, it was divided into three batches in a planned manner and took off to meet the enemy respectively. It can be regarded as retaining sufficient reserve power.

A total of more than 300 carrier-based aircraft took off, divided among 6 ground airports, which is equivalent to more than 50 carrier-based aircraft taking off from one ground airport. Of course, it did not take much time to take off smoothly, and it was simply completed in the air. After entering the formation, they greeted them with great force.

Originally, the commanders of these carrier-based aircraft thought of raising the flight formation to a higher altitude, hiding in the clouds, conducting a dive attack, and setting up an ambush.

It's a pity that the attack fleet dispatched by the Chinese fleet this time contains many F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets. This carrier-based aircraft is equipped with onboard radar. Once it gets close, it can be clearly detected through the radar system. The movements of the No. 308 Island Interceptor Group.

Through the electronic system, the attack aircraft group immediately increased their flight altitude and seized the high-altitude position. Although their movements were also detected by the ground radar station on the 308th island, they were immediately reported to the interceptor. fleet.

But the pilots responsible for the interception encountered a rather embarrassing thing. Whether it was a Fulmar carrier-based fighter or a Skua carrier-based fighter-bomber, the maximum ceiling altitude was only 6,000 meters, which was not enough.

The ceiling altitude of the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter and the P-38 Lightning fighter both exceeds 10,000 meters. The ceiling altitude of the P-38 Lightning fighter has reached a terrifying altitude of 13,000 meters. Therefore, the interception of No. 308 Island If the aircraft fleet wants to compete with the Chinese fleet's attack aircraft fleet in flying height, it is simply a trick in front of Guan Gong.

However, after receiving the detection results from the ground radar station on the radio, all the pilots of the interceptor group were in bad condition. Before the war even started, our own side fell into a disadvantage and was in an unfavorable attack position. The high morale brought by revenge has dropped a bit.

In an air battle, if you occupy a flying height and can dive and attack, you have a great advantage and are inherently extremely aggressive.

As the"dwarf" on the attacked side, only after withstanding the opponent's dive attack can he have the opportunity to enter the low-altitude dogfight mode, which is referred to as the"jump up and hit you on the knee" tactic.

On the island of No. 308, most of the experienced pilots who had fought against the Chinese fleet's carrier-based aircraft group had been shot down along with their planes. Most of the pilots taking off this time were the first time they had fought against the Chinese fleet's carrier-based aircraft group. Combat.

These new pilots did not know the power and terror of the Chinese fleet's carrier-based aircraft fleet. Originally, they thought that their side had a numerical advantage and their own flying skills were not bad. Even without the advantage of attacking first, this battle They will also win the air battle, not to mention they have the support of anti-aircraft firepower from the ground and sea.

These situations are a bit long to talk about, but in fact it didn’t take long. After all, with the hedging between the two sides, and the flying speed of the plane, it didn’t take much time at all.

"Da da da"、"Da da da"、"Da da da"

"Tom Tom Tom"、"Tom Tom Tom"、""Boom, boom, boom."

A fierce battle broke out suddenly. Strings of bullets flew in the air, bullet belts swept past, and 112mm and 127mm rockets with burning buttocks shuttled among the fleet. Mixed with a large number of anti-aircraft shells fired by the anti-aircraft guns below, they continued to explode in the air at this moment.

Just as they started to make contact, one after another carrier-based aircraft fell headlong with thick black smoke and burning flames. As it fell, the explosions coming from the air became even more deafening.

In this air battle, the total number of carrier-based aircraft on both sides was actually only about 500, which was far less than the number of carrier-based aircraft that broke out between the two sides in the outer sea area. It was an air battle, but this one was even more intense.

On the battleships of the players below who had already pulled anchor and set sail, leaving the port and wanting to avoid being accidentally injured. Players stood on the deck one by one, with their heads raised and their mouths wide open. mouth, watching the air battle in the sky intently. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Carrier-based aircraft fell down one after another with scars, and white umbrellas represented the escaping pilots. Flowers were floating in the air in the wind, and the players below once again witnessed the terrifying pressure and powerful combat power from the Chinese fleet, the first player's fleet. During this period, they have been staying on island No. 308. For I was deeply touched by the strength of the indigenous forces on the island. As a result, a player who entered the world of navigation at the same time as them was able to overwhelm the opponent. What this means is that anyone who is not an idiot can know it.

Between the fighters of both sides The battle did not last long. Being dragged down by the maximum bomb load, more than 200 Il-4 bombers, which were flying slowly, finally arrived at the battlefield slowly. Similarly, the ground radar station was obtained again As an early warning, more than 300 carrier-based fighter jets were scrambled from 6 ground airports to intercept these subsequent carrier-based aircraft groups............

It's just that although most of this new batch of carrier-based aircraft are Il-4 bombers with little air combat capability, there are also 2 groups of 72 carrier-based fighters that escort the bomber group.[]

Immediately, the 72 carrier-based fighter jets serving as escorts accelerated their speed, rushed forward, and used powerful firepower to block the interceptor group on the 308th island side.

Not only that, among the first wave of battles between the two sides, the interceptor fleet whose performance and firepower were completely crushed has suffered heavy losses, and the number of fighters still fighting in the air has only been reduced to half. This makes the Chinese fleet's attack difficult. The aircraft fleet has enough spare power to free up a part of the fighter jets to cover the bomber group.

Faced with the obstruction of more than 100 carrier-based fighter jets with more advanced performance and more powerful firepower, more than 200 fighter jets that took off in an emergency were unable to get close to the slow bombers.

When fighter jets cannot get close, the only thing that can pose a threat to the Il-4 bomber group is air defense firepower from the ground and sea.

However, compared with the anti-aircraft firepower below, although the speed of these IL-4 bombers has been slowed down, they are still much faster and can easily dodge anti-aircraft shells. Their anti-aircraft shooting effect is not very good.

Of course, the pilots of the Il-4 bombers would not just be beaten without fighting back. Even if there were no fighter jets taking the lead, attracting the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower and opening up a bombing route for them, these pilots would resolutely rush forward.

Three IL-4 bombers formed a group, with one taking the lead and two following closely behind, forming a triangular attack formation. With the huge roar of their engines, they began their counterattack.

Braving dense air defense fire, he flew above the surface ship, and the first to be dropped were the three 500KG-level aerial bombs mounted on the belly and under the wings.

"boom"、"boom"、""Boom"

The 500KG-level aerial bomb fell horizontally and hit the deck of the surface ship heavily. It has a certain probability of penetrating its 4.9-level armor. Even if it cannot penetrate, the violent explosion is enough to destroy it. A big hole opened in its horizontal armor.

With the current technological level, no matter what level of warship it is, its deck is made of wood, but there is a thick layer of armor covering it. As long as the upper armor is blown up, The wooden deck below does not provide any protection for the warship at all.

It is obviously only providing anti-aircraft firepower support to the fighter forces in the sky, but it suffered such a powerful attack that the ships were moored on the port dock. The surface warships were also panicked.

While continuing to increase their anti-aircraft firepower, they also ordered to pull anchor and set sail. Since the other party has already begun bombing the sea, if they continue to be anchored in the port without moving, they will be a living target. , only in motion can we effectively avoid anti-aircraft bombs falling from the sky.

At several ground airports, carrier-based fighter jets that are not even filled with fuel and ammunition are taking off in an emergency, and they have no time to form a formation. He joined the battle ahead.

There was no way, the attack aircraft group of the Chinese fleet was too powerful. In a short period of time, half of the two batches of fighter jets that were launched consecutively were lost.
