"Cormorant No. [-] follow me closely, let these little guys see what is flying." Liu Feng said with a smile.

Fu Ming immediately replied: "Understood, Cormorant No. [-], I'm right behind you."

"Don't play too big, this is a matter for two people." Chen Tao in the back seat joked, because he was sitting upside down in the back seat and holding a 7.7mm machine gun facing backwards, so he couldn't help to fly the plane of.

"Look, as long as you stay behind, there will be no problem." Liu Feng laughed and immediately opened the throttle to the maximum.Wisps of black smoke spewed out from under the engine at the head of the plane, and the speed suddenly increased. Chen Tao only felt the strong inertia make him rush forward until he was pulled back by the seat belt.

"You did it on purpose, kid." Chen Tao said angrily, but he stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, because after their plane accelerated and turned, two streams of bullets flew past from the side close to the wings, Obviously Liu Feng saw the Japanese aircraft in the rearview mirror, so he performed an accelerated maneuver.

Chapter One Thousand and Fifty

"Cormorant No. [-], pay attention to concentration." Liu Feng reminded, as a new pilot, Fu Ming still has a lot to learn.For example, helping the lead plane to guard is one of them. Fu Ming should have discovered and warned about the sneak attack by the Japanese army plane just now.

"Sorry, Cormorant No. [-], I've already caught up." Fu Ming speeded up and caught up with the lead plane again.Just now, his reaction speed was half a beat slow, so he couldn't keep up with Liu Feng's speed. He was nervous to drive the plane and tried his best to catch up, but he didn't find the Japanese army plane.

"It's good to concentrate, once you're a novice and twice acquainted, you will gradually become an old pilot." Liu Feng encouraged his wingman on the radio and then said: "Follow me now, come and go without indecent assault, I want to give him a gift in return."

Liu Feng grinned, the Shui Detective 2 aircraft he was driving turned flexibly, and after only one acceleration and continuous turning, it bit a Type 2 fighter jet of the Japanese Army.Compared with the opponent's biplane fighter, the high-wing water reconnaissance [-] has great advantages in large maneuvering situations, and the turning speed is also faster.

Liu Feng bit a plane, skillfully inserted its tail into his sight, and then ruthlessly pressed the shooting button.Two strings of 400mm front-firing machine gun bullets hit each other [-] meters away, and the Japanese army's plane suddenly exploded in the air.

When modifying the J-2, in addition to adding floats and rear seat pilots, the biggest change to this aircraft is the weapon.The original four Air II front-firing machine guns were removed and replaced with two 15mm Air II machine guns to balance the weight of the aircraft.

Although the firepower density of this modification has been reduced a lot, the 15mm machine gun can effectively destroy enemy aircraft at a distance of 500 meters and is much more powerful than the 100mm machine gun that can only be fired when it is close to 7 meters. up.In addition, the addition of an Air-[-] machine gun in the rear seat allows the seaplane to benefit from rear-firing and can deal with tail-biting attacks from tail-chasing.

Just as Liu Feng blew up a Japanese fighter jet with a front-firing machine gun, Qian Ziping, the pilot of Cormorant 7's rear seat, also used his [-]mm machine gun to drive away a Japanese fighter plane that wanted to bite its tail.

The Japanese army aircraft generally only have a few months of piloting experience. They have not participated in any air combat, and their techniques and tactics are still very unfamiliar.In addition, Japan's flight training started late and never gained experience in World War I, so their training was very backward.

The pilots trained in this situation had a hard time dealing with this kind of aircraft with front and rear machine guns in battle, and they were in a hurry in the air.

"Baga." The leader of the Japanese army who was shot down by a wingman was very angry, and he rushed up with the remaining wingman.The speed of the Type [-] fighter jets was slightly faster, and they quickly caught up with Liu Feng and his two planes.Seeing the Japanese army plane biting the tail of Fu Ming's plane, Liu Feng immediately made a small turn and rushed towards the lead plane.

The Japanese pilots had seen such a fierce tactical move. Seeing Liu Feng quickly turn the nose of the plane and rush towards him, he directly made a dive to escape.At this time, another three-aircraft formation of Japanese fighter jets also rushed up, and five Japanese fighter planes fought with two seaplanes of the Seat Navy, and the two sides fought fiercely.

The seven planes moved quickly while fighting, because Liu Feng retreated while fighting, they quickly left the Japanese fleet's sight.Relying on their superiority in numbers, the five Japanese planes insisted on holding on to the planes of Liu Feng and others, but their technology was really poor, and the two sides could only hold a stalemate in the air for the time being, and no one could take advantage of it.

During the battle, the fledgling Japanese pilot began to mature, his tactical movements became more and more precise, and the cooperation with each other became smoother. Liu Feng suddenly felt the pressure increased.At this moment, two black shadows suddenly passed through the air, disrupting the fighting rhythm of both sides.

Liu Feng narrowed his eyes for a moment, and he saw the red five-star machine emblem from one of the black shadows in a daze.That was the aircraft logo of the West Special Army. Liu Feng knew that his reinforcements were coming, and his morale was immediately boosted.These two planes were the vanguard of the Namwon's launch group. They were the lead planes looking for the Japanese fleet. The trembling Liu Feng and others.

Gao Ning and Ma Jun, who were driving the two pilot planes, saw that there were fewer planes on their side, so they rushed down immediately.The carrier-based aircraft force already knows that the seaplanes on the cruiser take off to scout the enemy's situation. Now that they see it, they naturally need to ask about the enemy's situation. As for shooting a few planes, it is also feasible.

Gao Ning pushed the joystick, and the Sea Battle Type 1 fighter he was driving rushed towards the Japanese army's three-aircraft formation at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour with the whistling sound of the wind.At a distance of more than [-] meters, he made a long burst.Gao Ning does not have the precise shooting ability of Gao Zhihang, but a long burst has enough time for him to adjust the trajectory.

The Japanese army had never heard of such a fast aircraft. Before the pilot of our army realized what was going on, the wooden fuselage was broken by a bullet from a 15mm machine gun.The Type [-] carrier-based fighter immediately plunged head-down into the sea.

The frightened Japanese planes immediately climbed up in an attempt to retaliate, but their clumsy biplanes were unable to deal with the full-time Naval Fighter Type 1 fighters. As a result, two Japanese planes were quickly shot down, and the remaining two had to flee close to the sea.

"Cormorant No. 105, I am Haiying [-], please answer." Gao Ning asked.

"I'm Cormorant No. 105, Haiying [-], please tell me." Liu Feng's voice came at the right time.

"Please report your losses."

"The left wing of Cormorant No. [-] was injured and needs to be repaired, but Cormorant No. [-] was not injured." Liu Feng told the truth about his losses.

Gao Ning said: "Please clearly indicate the location of the Japanese fleet, and then return immediately, our fleet is not far away."

"Okay, the large Japanese fleet is in the No. 13 area and is moving to the No. 105 area. Can Haiying [-] hear you clearly?" Liu Feng asked.

Gao Ning said to the radio: "The No. 13 area of ​​the Japanese army is moving to the No. 105 area. Haiying [-] understands."

After the two parties spoke, Liu Feng returned east with Fu Ming, who was injured in the plane.Now that the carrier-based air force has arrived, the two of them can't do much by staying here.

Soon after Liufeng's two seaplanes returned, a huge fleet appeared in the sky. They were divided into upper, middle and lower layers and flew towards the Japanese fleet.Gao Ning and Ma Jun had already arrived over the United Fleet of Japan. They deliberately hid in the clouds and looked down through the gaps in the clouds with binoculars.When they saw the huge fleet and warships of the Japanese army, they couldn't help but gasped.

The first thousand and fifty-one chapters lure the enemy to attack

"Haiying 105 reported Haiying 07, and Haiying 105 reported Haiying 07. They found a large Japanese fleet, including at least four battleships and three aircraft carriers. It was observed that the opposing warships had a large number of anti-aircraft guns. One of the warships was very large. According to estimates, it should exceed [-] tons." The large warship that Gao Ning saw was the Daiwa, and he had seen the Nakagawa with a full load displacement of nearly [-] tons, so he could roughly estimate that the other party's displacement was no less than [-] tons.

Zhao Xun was taken aback. How many torpedoes would it take to sink a large warship of more than [-] tons, and the opponent's dense anti-aircraft firepower further indicated that this mission would not be easy.He immediately issued an order: "All fighters speed up, we will first reach the sky above the Japanese warships, and attract the opponent's fighters to take off to fight."

Zhao Xun had an idea and came up with a brilliant idea. Since the Japanese army has an aircraft carrier, it is better to attract the opponent's carrier-based fighter jets first.As long as the two sides fight in the air, the anti-aircraft firepower of the other side will be wary, at least those large-caliber anti-aircraft guns dare not fire at will.

The fighter jet brigade soon arrived at the sky above the Japanese army. Because they were advancing at low and medium altitudes and were still more than ten nautical miles away from the fleet, they were discovered by the observation post.The Japanese fleet sounded an ear-piercing alarm, and Kanji Kato looked out the porthole in horror, as the dozen or so black spots were rapidly approaching.

"Commander, according to the returned fighter jets, the opponent is a large fleet. I request all fighter jets to take off immediately to deal with those West Army planes." The aviation staff officer on the side suggested.

"Yes, we have fighter jets this time." Kanji Kato, who didn't have much experience in aircraft carrier combat, seemed to have caught a life-saving straw. He immediately ordered all fighter jets to take off to intercept the bombing of the West Army.Soon more than 50 fighter jets on Fengxiang, Akagi and Kaga took off one after another, and rushed towards Liu Xun's fighter brigade.

Because of the fear of the planes of the West Special Army, the Japanese aircraft carrier that attacked this time was mainly responsible for air defense missions. Therefore, there are 54 fighter jets among the carrier aircraft of the three aircraft carriers, and only twelve Type [-] shipboard attack aircraft. It looks like it barely has the ability to fight against ships.

The air raid of the Seat Navy arrived suddenly, and it was time for these fighter jets to show their talents.It's a pity that the aviation staff officer of the Japanese army is also a novice. He didn't see that the oncoming planes were all fighter jets, and they didn't have the combat capability against ships at all.

Liu Xun was very excited about the large-scale deployment of Japanese fighter jets. He immediately ordered all fighter jets to form a double formation to meet the enemy and encircle and suppress Japanese fighter jets.Even Gao Ning and Ma Jun rushed out of the clouds and rushed towards the Japanese fighter jets that had just taken off.

The Japanese Type [-] fighter jets that had just taken off were still in their weakest state. They had neither altitude nor speed, and they were just targets in front of the swooping fighter jets.

Because four fighter jets were shot down before, there are only fifty Japanese planes taking off now, and under the sneak attack of the West Special Army, six of these planes were destroyed at sea just after taking off, and they did not play a role at all.

The Japanese army never knew that there was such a tactic. Seeing the fighter jets of the West Special Army swooping down and attacking the Japanese army planes that were climbing, the Japanese army sailors woke up like a dream.They turned the anti-aircraft artillery fire without poking, and fired at the oncoming West Special Army fighter jets, but the fighter jets were very flexible and maneuverable, and it was difficult to be hit by the opponent's anti-aircraft fire.

The anti-aircraft guns of the Japanese army did not have air-bomb fuzes, so they could only rely on shells to attack aircraft. This method of combat was acceptable against bombers, but not very effective against fighter jets.Under the cover of artillery fire, Japanese fighter jets finally took off with difficulty, but their number has shrunk to 39.

Seeing that there was no advantage to take advantage of, Liu Xun led the fighter jet brigade to immediately raise the altitude to avoid the anti-aircraft artillery fire of the Japanese army. After all, it is not easy to face the artillery shells densely packed with migratory locusts.The Japanese fighter jets were also afraid of accidental injury from their own artillery fire, so they also chased high altitude, where the two sides fought fiercely.

Once the two sides fought, the Japanese pilots felt strenuous.The Naval Warfare Type 420 with a speed of 1 kilometers per hour is not comparable to the bulky Water Reconnaissance Type 2. The Japanese pilots were surprised to find that their aircraft could not keep up with the opponent.The speed difference between the two sides was two hundred kilometers per hour, and it was difficult for even machine gun bullets to catch up with each other.

Under such disparity between the enemy and the enemy, the air battle that should have been extremely fierce turned into a massacre. The Japanese fighter planes fell like snowflakes, causing waves on the water.Kanji Kato widened his eyes, watching the battle in the air where the number of enemies and the enemy were completely different but the combat power was completely opposite, he couldn't help but feel bitter.

Originally, he also had great expectations for these fighter jets, thinking that when they attacked Guanghai City, they could serve as air defense missions and intercept the bomber units from the West Air Force.But now it seems that it may be difficult for these planes to return to the ship. The Japanese Navy still does not have the air cover of fighter jets.

Zhao Xun felt very refreshed today, the air battle had undoubtedly turned into a target, each flying formation easily killed the enemy without the slightest hesitation.In just half an hour of air combat, Zhao Xun himself shot down four enemy planes. With his previous record, he was already able to become an ace pilot.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese country all looked up at the sky, watching this helpless air battle, the morale of the navy was greatly suppressed.In the past, it was considered a cumbersome aircraft, but now it makes them extremely worried. Many people even pray to God Amaterasu to help their air force win.

It's a pity that Amaterasu seems to be asleep, and he didn't hear the calls of these people at all, and the Japanese fighter jets are still falling.The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army paid so much attention to the air battle that the bombers and torpedo planes of the West Special Army who were chasing up from behind were not discovered by the lookout post until they approached.

"Enemy plane, another enemy plane has appeared." The lookout post shouted again, but this time it was no longer a false alarm.According to the command of the headquarters, the priority target of all aircraft is the aircraft carrier.A dive bomber quickly drove towards the aircraft carrier at an angle of 75 degrees.

Aircraft carriers were not taken seriously in the Japanese navy, mainly because of the disadvantages of carrier-based aircraft, which prevented them from seeing the combat effectiveness of naval aviation.The tactics of the Japanese navy from top to bottom are battleships first, so most of the auxiliary ships are protecting the battle fleet, and there are only a few destroyers escorting the aircraft carrier, and they are mainly used for anti-submarine.

Chapter 52 priority target

The dive bombers that rushed straight down took a fancy to these aircraft carriers, and the lead captain aimed at the largest Kaga and dropped the first bomb. The 450kg bomb fell vertically, smashed through the deck of the Kaga almost without hindrance, exploded and caught fire in the hangar, and several Type [-] attack aircraft parked in the lower hangar turned into warships before they joined the battle. A pile of ruins.

The design of these Japanese aircraft carriers is still relatively old, and the air defense issue has not been strengthened.The few small-caliber artillery installed on the warship were not enough to threaten the rushing dive bombers, so the first few bombers to attack succeeded one after another.
