Chapter 1500 Sad torpedo machine
“It’s coming just right!”
Upon hearing this news, Yamamoto Iroku was not surprised but happy, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Immediately inform Natsu Yunjun and let him give it a try. We must teach these arrogant and ignorant enemies a lesson!
In addition, the telephone order Kondo Kon, let them launch a tentative attack on the Allied fleet immediately!"
"Hayi!"
"The Imperial Japanese Navy will win!"
Several Japanese naval officers happily accepted the order and quickly started working.
"Very good, finally waiting for the long-awaited battle. The Imperial Japanese Navy will once again destroy the US Pacific Fleet, let the whole world know that the Imperial Japanese Navy is the strongest navy in the world!"
The First Air Fleet led by Tadakaichi Nagamo is under the jurisdiction of 6 aircraft carriers, 406 carrier-based aircraft, 4 battleships, 4 heavy cruisers, 3 light cruisers, 18 destroyers, and 8 supply ships.
Its strength can indeed be described as strong soldiers and horses.
Because of this, when Nagashiro received the news, he was also full of excitement and eager to try. He immediately ordered the troops to start the battle with confidence.
"Discover the Japanese interceptor group!"
"Brothers, get ready for the fight!"
"These are all new fighter jets that the Japanese army has changed into clothes. Brothers must deal with it carefully!"
"Kill!"
"The Japanese take their lives!"
After nearly an hour of flight, the Huber Navy carrier-based aircraft group met the Japanese interceptor aircraft group over the sea 370 kilometers away from Midway Island.
With the mass production of Rafale fighter jets and lightning interceptors, not only did the Japanese Air Force troops on the Chinese battlefield complete the dressing, but the Japanese troops on the Pacific battlefield are the same.
However, facing a strong enemy, the escort fighter pilots were not afraid at all. They all rushed forward and launched a life-and-death battle with the Japanese fighter group that came to intercept.
Under the cover of the fighter fleet, the bomber group continued to advance forward and plunged straight towards the Japanese fleet.
20 minutes later, after a bloody battle, after shooting down 22 Japanese fighters and paying the significant price of 6 fighters and 8 bombers, the Huber Navy fighter fleet finally advanced all the way to Tadichi Nakamoto's First Air Fleet.
"Brothers, aim me at the Japanese aircraft carrier and bomb it!"
"Blast these dogs! Kill!"
The so-called enemy was particularly jealous when they met. When they saw dozens of ships of different sizes on the sea, the pilots of the bomber group were all red-eyed and rushed towards aircraft carriers such as Akagi, Kaga, and Aolong.
"Baga, the road! Death, the ground!"
"Click the fire!"
The Japanese devils were all red-eyed. Not only did the fighter jets that had been fighting and chasing for life, but the artillery soldiers of the Japanese fleet also used their strength.
Anti-aircraft guns of all sizes and caliber, anti-aircraft machine guns crazily spewed out flames, and dazzling bullet lines soared into the sky, like rain slamming at the dive bombers on the SBD-2 "Dreadnought" ships that were diving at high speed.
"Damn the Japanese to die!"
Either you die or I die. The Hu Ben Army bomber pilots all rushed wildly with the determination to die and fought against the extremely dense rain of bullets.
When they reached the ideal height and angle, they suddenly pressed the throwing switch and bombed 1,000 pounds of bombs at the Japanese aircraft carrier.
During the bomb drop, seven bombers were shot down by the Japanese, and 14 outstanding pilots died heroically, and sacrificed their precious lives for the peace and justice of the Chinese nation and mankind.
Bang bang bang bang, amid the extremely violent explosion, the three aircraft carriers Akagi, Kaga and Aolong were hit by several heavy bombs one after another, and several large holes were blown out on the deck, and a raging fire was ignited. The Japanese soldiers on the deck were killed and injured.
The most unlucky thing was the Akagi aircraft carrier. After the bomb pierced the deck, it directly detonated the ammunition depot, and suddenly there was an extremely violent chain reaction.
The planes stacked on the deck, as well as fuel and ammunition, caused a big explosion, and the flames rushed to the sky. In just 5 minutes, the Akagi aircraft carrier sank directly to the bottom of the sea.
The Kaga and Aolong aircraft carriers are in relatively better condition. Although the fire is very large, it is quite casualties, and it seems that they can still be rescued.
"Brothers, cover the bomber's retreat!"
"Received! Understand!"
When the bomber group threw all the bombs, the remaining 15 dive bombers on the SBD-2 "Dreadnought" ships returned at full speed. The fighter pilots continued to perform their escort missions and fought with the Japanese fighters who came to fight for life!
After a bloody battle, the Huber Navy Aviation Corps was finally able to leave contact, and 75 fighter jets and 12 bombers returned safely.
In this battle, the Huber Navy lost 15 fighter jets and 18 bombers, killed 51 people, shot down 32 Japanese fighter jets, sank one Japanese aircraft carrier, and severely damaged two!
Just from the data point of view, the results are still quite unsatisfactory.
The US military's attack seemed a bit tragic.
Just as the Huber Naval Air Corps was hard and reckless, the US fighter fleet also encountered hundreds of Japanese fighter fleets coming to intercept in another direction.
The US fighter fleet immediately rushed forward and launched a life-and-death battle with the Japanese interceptor fleet, forcibly covering the tbd "Swagger" torpedo bomber and the sbd-2 "Dreadnought" dive bomber rushing.
After more than an hour of long-distance raid, a team of 15 TBD "Savager" torpedo bombers led by commander Major Waldron finally discovered the Nanyun fleet.
Unfortunately, they did not have fighter escorts. During the suicide attack, the clumsy torpedo planes were shot down by Japanese fighters and anti-aircraft artillery fire, and all 30 pilots were killed, except for Lieutenant Guy.
Another team of 14 TBD "Savior" torpedo bombers led by Major Lindsay were slightly better in fate. After arriving at the Nagashi Fleet, they lined up in two rows and rushed towards the two Japanese aircraft carriers in a single formation.
However, under the interception of Japanese fighter jets and the fierce artillery fire of Japanese ships, the US military lost 11 torpedo bombers, and more than ten torpedoes dropped by the US aircraft were not hit. Commander Major Lindsey was killed in this battle.
It has to be said that the current space-time torpedo aircraft is really a high-risk profession that will last forever. Especially when it is dispatched without mastering air supremacy, it is completely equivalent to a suicide attack.
Therefore, Yang Fan had already explained to Liu Qiang that if he did not control the air and did not achieve the necessary situation, he should not use a torpedo machine to perform a suicide attack mission!
“go!go!go!go!go!”
"Gentlemen, it's our turn to perform!"
"Sink these damn invaders!"
