¡°Buzz~buzz~buzz~¡±
Twenty nautical miles away from the Citigroup fleet, China¡¯s carrier-based aircraft met more than 20 Citigroup carrier-based aircraft.
"Throw away the auxiliary fuel tank! Prepare for battle!"
A cold voice came into the ears of all the Chinese pilots.
Hellcat carrier-based aircraft, this is a carrier-based aircraft that can carry auxiliary fuel tanks. In order to ensure the victory of air combat, the auxiliary fuel tanks will be thrown away during combat.
" Then a flight group of thirty-five Hellcat carrier-based aircraft immediately threw away their auxiliary fuel tanks and rushed towards the Wildcat carrier-based aircraft.
As an upgraded version of the Hellcat carrier-based aircraft and the Wildcat carrier-based aircraft, except that the main weapons are still six 12.7 mm Browning heavy machine guns, others such as the engine have not changed.
The engine performance of the Hellcat carrier-based aircraft is one-quarter, or 25%, better than that of the Wildcat carrier-based aircraft.
Its armor is also much thicker, and the Hellcat carrier-based aircraft makes up for the shortcomings of the Wildcat carrier-based aircraft.
Facts have proved that when two similar carrier-based aircraft meet, the upgraded version is much stronger than the original version.
More than 20 Wildcat carrier-based aircraft of the Citi Army had just met with the Hellcat carrier-based aircraft, and two Wildcat carrier-based aircraft were directly destroyed by volleys.
The two leading Hellcat carrier-based aircraft pulled their noses and passed over the heads of the Wildcat carrier-based aircraft.
In the distance, bombers and torpedo planes, escorted by twelve Hellcat carrier-based aircraft, began to pounce on the Citizen fleet.
"Boom~"
As soon as they met, a dive bomber gave the Citigroup fleet a big gift.
A 500-kilogram heavy aviation armor-piercing bomb landed on a Citigroup destroyer very easily.
This 500-kilogram armor-piercing bomb easily penetrated the deck of the destroyer, and then caused a huge explosion inside it.
A 500-kilogram armor-piercing bomb exploded inside a destroyer of more than 2,000 tons. The casualties caused were enough to send him into hell.
The Citigroup fleet's anti-aircraft firepower was fully activated, as if they wanted to kill these Chinese aircraft.
All torpedo planes are flying almost close to the sea level, and they are constantly looking for targets.
At the same time, dive bombers in the sky continued to drop bombs, destroying the Citigroup fleet's defense artillery and defense machine guns.
The two torpedo planes formed a small formation and flew towards the predicted position of the USS Portland, a cruiser of Citigroup.
The pilots of the two torpedo planes were both calm. Even though the distance had already reached one thousand meters, when they were about to enter the range of 800 meters, neither of them had released the torpedoes.
When the distance reached 600 meters, the two finally dropped two torpedoes, then pulled the nose of the aircraft and passed over the cruiser USS Portland, leaving Citigroup with a tail.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
When two torpedoes hit the heavy cruiser USS Portland, there was a huge explosion.
These two explosions caught Fletcher¡¯s attention.
"How is it possible? Hasn't the Chinese Navy never experienced actual combat? Why does their Hainan Airlines have such combat power? Both torpedoes hit accurately?"
Fletcher¡¯s voice was very deep, he really couldn¡¯t believe this fact. ,
In fact, countries around the world now have a very naive understanding of the Chinese Navy.
Although the total tonnage of the navy is huge, it has not been tested in actual combat. I think the Chinese Navy may be like that.
But in fact, everyone was deceived.
It may be true that other ships of the Chinese Navy have average combat effectiveness, but this does not include the carrier-based aircraft, bombers and torpedo planes on the Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers.
Before Zhou Weiguo vigorously expanded the Chinese navy, there were three naval battles, or rather air battles.
There were two Neon Navy invasions, and once Gaul and Gaul formed a joint fleet to march eastward.
They were all defeated by the Chinese Air Force at sea.
At that time, Zhou Weiguo sent thousands of dive bombers and torpedo planes.
These dive bomber and torpedo pilots have actually been tested in actual combat. The only difference between them and other navies is that they take off from land instead of from an aircraft carrier.
But they have rich combat experience in how to attack naval ships.
Later, when the navy expanded and divided into fleets, these pilots would naturally be deployed into the navy.
After all, they have experienced three large-scale naval battles and have rich experience in attacking naval ships.
As for the Pacific Fleet, as the forefront of the war, it is also a naval fleet that is always ready to participate in the war. Their torpedo aircraft and bomber pilots are naturally composed of pilots who have participated in many attacks on naval ships.
??This is something that all countries in the world do not know. Their understanding of the Chinese Navy has always been stuck in the past, but they have ignored the thousands of pilots who have participated in naval battles.
Naturally, Fletcher would be confused at this moment.
Next, under Fletcher¡¯s eyes, these bombers and torpedo planes continued to drop torpedoes and aerial bombs.
Within the entire fleet, except for the aircraft carrier Yorktown and a supply ship next to it, there was no major bombing, except for the anti-aircraft artillery being attacked. Other ships suffered devastating blows.
For example, the heavy cruiser Portland was attacked by three torpedoes after two torpedoes.
Because the previous two torpedoes slowed down the Portland, the entire ship was billowing with smoke, which made the torpedo planes feel like cats that smelled fishy smell.
There were three torpedoes, and the Portland was unable to dodge even one. These Chinese torpedo pilots relied on their rich combat experience and predictions to drop the torpedoes in very tricky positions, and at the same time, the distance of the torpedoes was not far. There simply wasn't that much time for Citigroup to react.
The result was the Portland, a heavy cruiser that sank to the bottom of the sea.
The sailors above kept jumping into the sea, and no one wanted to be buried with it.
Forty minutes after the attack by these dive bombers and torpedo planes, Fletcher once again received news from the radar.
"A huge fleet of aircraft has appeared again in the West, with the number of aircraft being about three hundred!"
Fletcher held this telegram in his hand, but his heart seemed to have sunk to the bottom.
"Are we really going to sink here today?"
Fletcher looked at the horizon in the distance, his face pale.
Just now he was saying that their tactics failed in this naval battle, but their strategy won.
But I didn¡¯t expect that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. The Neon Navy has no fighting power, but the Chinese Navy is here again.
At this time, he thought of a possibility. If the Chinese Navy supports the Neon Army in Port Moresby, wouldn't Port Moresby eventually fall?
The prerequisite for their strategic victory is that Port Moresby is not captured by the Neon Army. If it is captured, where will their victory be?
