Halsey¡¯s order went down, and the carrier-based aircraft that Citigroup had prepared before began to take off in an emergency. It's just that his takeoff seemed a little late.
The first batch of thirty-two carrier-based aircraft escorting the fleet had just taken off, but the Chinese air raid group had already arrived.
Suddenly a fierce battle broke out in the sky, and the carrier-based aircraft escorted by Citigroup behind them were attacked by Chinese carrier-based aircraft before many of them took off before climbing to an altitude of one thousand meters.
This time, the North Sea Fleet came over with more than 120 carrier-based aircraft. Compared with Citigroup's 72 carrier-based aircraft, it can be said that it has an absolute advantage in terms of quantity.
Previously, Chen Yongqin deliberately left some more carrier-based aircraft in order to get closer to the battle with the Citizen Fleet.
After all, the carrier-based aircraft of both sides are now Hellcat models.
The greater the number, the greater the possibility of victory!
The Chinese carrier-based aircraft, which had a numerical advantage, continuously shot down one Citizen carrier-based aircraft. Many Citizen carrier-based aircraft were shot down just before they took off.
And the air defense firepower over the entire Citi Army fleet is also very fierce. Citi Army itself is famous for its fierce fire power, which is reflected in the air defense fire power.
But no matter how fierce their firepower is, the Chinese aircraft fleet will also start air strikes.
The torpedo planes and dive bombers began to break away from the formation.
The torpedo planes first targeted the four heavy aircraft carriers in the Citigroup fleet. The dive bombers seemed to want to take out Citigroup's heavy aircraft carriers first, just like them.
As for Citigroup¡¯s escort aircraft? Who cares?
Come here if you can. More than 120 Hellcat carrier-based aircraft can¡¯t stop you from more than 70 Hellcat carrier-based aircraft?
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
With such a large aircraft carrier, they are the best target for dive bombers. The first thing they attacked was the aircraft machine gun on the aircraft carrier.
Why? Because now, whether it is dive bombers or torpedo planes, the biggest threat to them is anti-aircraft machine guns. As for anti-aircraft artillery?
That thing has a minimum shooting altitude. Torpedo planes and dive bombers are all below their minimum altitude. This thing is like a useless fire stick, and the altitude they are at is where anti-aircraft machine guns attack. range.
Aviation machine guns equipped on Citizen aircraft carriers and other ships are constantly being cleared.
The dive bombers in the sky attracted all the Citi Army¡¯s anti-aircraft firepower, and everyone wanted to destroy these dive bombers. It's just that they ignored the torpedo planes close to the sea level at this time.
Five torpedo planes aimed at a heavy-duty Citizen aircraft carrier. When they were very close to the Citizen aircraft carrier, they dropped the torpedoes under the belly of the aircraft.
Five lines of white waves flew towards a heavy aircraft carrier of Citigroup.
There was a burst of exclamation from the Citizen sailors on the entire aircraft carrier, and the sounds of evasion were heard everywhere.
"Damn it! Do these Chinese people fight like this? Drop five torpedoes in one battle!"
¡°When Jamil saw the five torpedoes flying towards a heavy aircraft carrier, he couldn¡¯t help but cursed bitterly.
"Concentrated fire tactics! Although this tactic wastes ammunition, it is a very effective tactic. Unless more than three aircraft carrier formations are dispatched, this tactic cannot be launched."
Halsey looked at all this and sighed.
The concentrated fire tactic wastes a lot of ammunition, but it can eliminate the enemy in a very short time.
This tactic is also used by Citigroup during large-scale operations, but generally they will not use it if there are fewer aircraft carriers.
In fact, sometimes Halsey also wonders how China builds aircraft carriers.
In just a few years, their aircraft carriers have been expanding like dumplings. Even the United States, an old industrial country, cannot keep up with their construction speed.
"General Halsey, how about we recall the carrier-based aircraft on the front line! Otherwise our fleet will suffer heavy losses!"
Jamil suddenly turned his head and looked at Halsey and said.
"No! It cannot be recalled now. The air battle on the front line is not going well at present, and we have suffered heavy losses. If our carrier-based aircraft are recalled again, the Army Aviation side will suffer even greater losses.
Now that the second batch of support fighters from Army Aviation is on the way, we must wait until the second batch of support fighters from Army Aviation arrive before our carrier-based aircraft can?Withdraw! "
Now one of the biggest advantages of the Citi Army compared to the Chinese Army is the numerical advantage.
Someone may want to ask, don¡¯t China and Citigroup have almost the same number of fighter aircraft available for combat? How can Citigroup have a numerical advantage?
Don¡¯t forget, the straight-line distance from Ust-Kamchatsk to Attu Island is more than 760 kilometers, and the range of the BF109 fighter is only 700 kilometers. It can¡¯t even fly to the battlefield. How can it fight?
So now what China can use for combat is the carrier-based aircraft of the North Sea Fleet and more than two hundred Falcon-class fighters.
The combat radius of Citigroup's Mustang fighter is similar to that of the Falcon-class fighter. The combat radius is more than 1,000 kilometers, roughly around 1,500 kilometers.
Therefore, the Citi Army¡¯s Army Air Force can continuously come to support, but China¡¯s Army Air Force cannot.
This is also how Halsey found a way to deal with China. Currently, China's main fighter is still the BF109. The Falcon-class fighter is still under construction. It has not yet become the mainstay of the Chinese Air Force and is not very skilled. So we took advantage of this to fight against China.
"However, it will take time for the Citi Army and Army Air Forces to come to support. Now, the air combat on the front line is not good for Citigroup, so Halsey cannot bring back the carrier-based aircraft on the front line for escort.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
Two consecutive huge explosions came from a heavy aircraft carrier of Citigroup.
Out of five torpedoes, two torpedoes hit, and the other three torpedoes were dodged by it.
The speed of the entire aircraft carrier began to slowly decrease. At the gap where the two torpedoes exploded, a large amount of seawater continued to pour into the interior of the aircraft carrier.
"Oops! The speed has dropped, those Chinese torpedo planes will definitely focus on it!"
¡°When Jamil saw that the speed of the heavy aircraft carrier began to decrease, he said immediately.
Halsey didn¡¯t speak, just watched all this quietly. Of course he knew that once the aircraft carrier descended, those Chinese torpedo planes and dive bombers would definitely pay attention to it.
By then, a group of torpedo planes and dive bombers would pass by. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
