Chapter 2752： Over attack

The Germans’ route planning is still very good. The entire fleet is distributed from 5000 meters to 3,500 meters. The torpedoes have the largest load, so their altitude is the lowest. The bombers are about 4000 meters, while the fighters are at The top level. Fighters are at the forefront, followed by bombers and torpedo planes. According to the plan, our fighter jets will have a high degree of advantage during the battle. After attracting Japanese aircraft from mid-altitude to high altitude, they will pave the way for subsequent attack aircraft. At low and medium altitudes, the fighters that accompany the attack aircraft are responsible for the resolution of some of the missing fish, and in order to ensure that the fleet is hidden from the enemy, we always fly above the clouds. This facilitated our assault. "After the war, a US military officer who participated in an air raid on a Japanese aircraft carrier commented this way.

Well, when the first wave of aircraft groups on both sides are released, what are the aircraft carriers of both sides doing? The Japanese are hesitant, because they are still hesitating to prepare a fighter or a second wave of attack aircraft. For the Americans, it is easy. Since almost all the aircraft have been released, then pick up It's a natural run to come down, otherwise, why should the two aircraft carriers that have used up all the aircraft stay in place? Waiting to be bombed? (I despise the Yamaguchi that continues to carry the Flying Dragon after all the aircrafts in history have been released. As an aircraft carrier, you don’t have any carrier-based aircraft, so you don’t want to run? Waiting to get close and fight with the American aircraft carrier. ?)

As the day dawned, more and more Japanese reconnaissance aircraft appeared near the aircraft carrier Constellation. At this time, when the entire sea surface became unobstructed, the Japanese Navy finally found the problem! First of all, the first problem they found was that there was only one aircraft carrier here, instead of the first two. The original reconnaissance aircraft used a seaplane carrier as an aircraft carrier because of visibility or some other problems. This led to errors in the investigation, and another problem was that there was no **** fighter over the aircraft carrier! This is extremely abnormal. After all, according to the Japanese aircraft carrier's operating mode, even if the Americans do not have time to prepare the second wave of attack aircraft, at least some **** fighters will be left behind!

Looking at the surrounding waters, there are only two solitary destroyers. As far as the situation is now, Japan can understand it with its knees. This time it was calculated by the other side, but the strongest wave of offensive gathered by the Japanese navy was hit. On the cotton!

"First sink all the American fleet in this sea area, and then search the nearby sea area while sending a telegram to the fleet headquarters to explain the current situation. That's it!" Finally, looking at a few lonely American warships on the sea, Japan The commander of the attack group Ichiro Kuroki issued an attack order! No way, it's all here, you can't go home empty-handed, right? As for searching the surrounding waters to find other US fleets? This is just a fantasy. Let’s not say that since the Americans use the aircraft carrier in front of them as bait, then the main force of the fleet must be hidden out of their own reach. Even if they find out later, the Japanese fleet will not have the fuel to attack!

As a result, what can be called the entire battle, and even during the entire war, the most excessive attack kicked off. More than 110 Japanese navy carrier-based aircraft units launched an attack on a slanderous aircraft carrier and a seaplane. ! And there is not a single American fighter in the sky!

The first is a dive air strike by an attack formation composed of more than 20 bombers! These newly equipped dive bombers carried 250KG high-explosive bombs from a height of 3,000 meters, and they are now close to 1,000 meters in height. The Japanese bombers form a round of attack every four, with at least six formations. The bombers took turns bombing like a windmill!

However, this round was enough for the Constellation. Under the cover of the two destroyers, the Constellation frantically avoided bombs falling from the sky on the sea. The boiler was overloaded, and the excessive high-temperature and high-pressure steam was transported to the steam turbine. At the highest time, the entire turbine unit output 30% of the thrust exceeding the rated power! Even once let this warship reach a high speed of 27 knots! But unfortunately, this speed is still much worse for the killer from the air!

The effects of the first two rounds of attacks were not good, between the powerful anti-aircraft firepower of the USS Constellation and the unskilled technology of the Japanese Navy's carrier-based aircraft. Except for a bomb that fell on the middle of the deck and a small hole was opened in the deck, only one near-missing bullet was lost. This near-missing bullet entered the water at a distance of 15 meters from the battleship, and because of the use of It is a semi-armor-piercing bullet, so the killing effect is not good.

After all, with a charge of less than 80KG, the power of an explosion at a distance of 15 meters from the ship’s side is not even as powerful as a contact explosion of a small mine. This level of underwater attack is for a US official ship with a 5-layer defense system. The natural effect of aircraft carriers is very small but it brings less than 150 tons of water to the warship!

"The lethality of 250KG bombs is far less than expected. The Joint Fleet has always emphasized the penetration effect of armor-piercing shells on horizontal armor. However, it has been proved that the penetration depth of 250KG bombs is still very bad even if they are thrown at a high altitude. Strengthening the horizontal armor can ensure the safety of the core compartment. As an armor-piercing projectile, if it cannot penetrate the opponent's armor, the explosives have very limited destructive power to the deck. We can only punch a hole in the deck, and then the opponent uses a few pieces. The boards can be repaired."

"From our close observation of this U.S. aircraft carrier, we can see the effect of land-based bombers on the battleship bombing a few days ago. The damage effect of 500KG high-explosive bombs and common bombs on the aircraft carrier deck is obvious, even in the air. We can also see a large bulge behind the deck of an American aircraft carrier. This is supposed to be the bomb that exploded inside the hangar after penetrating the deck. The resulting energy twisted and deformed the steel beams supporting the deck. Aviation operations are obviously fatal. Simply piercing holes can be plugged and leveled, but the powerful explosive force that causes structural deformation completely destroys the usability of a considerable length of deck."

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the Japanese were able to carefully observe the results of the bombing. However, what embarrassed the Japanese navy's carrier-based aircraft units was not only the initial poor hit rate, but more importantly, the impact was not great. .... I have to say that 250KG bombs are really embarrassing when facing large battleships.
