Chapter 1418： Counterattack in desperation

The **** aircraft carrier is built in accordance with the model of a merchant ship, and the standard is low. It also determines that the cost is low and can be built quickly. On the other hand, because of its small displacement, it is impossible to install a large number of weapons like an attack aircraft carrier. It is provided by escorted warships. As an aircraft carrier, it is the right way to operate carrier-based aircraft.

Therefore, the current Manila Bay has only a few 127mm naval guns and some 20mm anti-aircraft guns. It does not have any anti-submarine weapons. If you want to deal with underwater submarines, you can only rely on its carrier-based aircraft.

Clear the deck, then eject your own carrier aircraft! As an aircraft carrier, the most powerful is the carrier-based aircraft. Although it is an **** aircraft carrier, on the carrier-based aircraft, there is no wind, and the equipment is the same as the main warship.

The elevator on the sideboard was slowly rising. At this time, the sailors on the Manila Bay had their greatest potential, and they were ready to attack in such a short time.

The pilot Oaks was sitting in his cockpit. He knew how difficult his task was, and he must drive away that terrible submarine!

SBD Dreadnought dive bomber, although not as well-known as Stuka, it is already the main bomber of the US Navy. At this time, the belly is full of bombs. As long as the trail of the opponent's submarine is found, Oaks will be rude Drop the bomb!

Soon, the bomber was lifted up, and with the help of several ground crews, the bomber stopped at the rear of the deck and was ready to take off.

The aircraft carriers of the German Navy have begun to be equipped with a large number of steam catapults, which greatly improves the efficiency of the aircraft carrier’s launch of the aircraft. However, the US aircraft carriers do not have such a device and can only rely on the aircraft itself.

In the Arctic, this is an advantage instead, so there is no need to worry about steam freezing.

Take off with your own power!

At this time, the wind had gradually become stronger, and the operators on the deck, feeling the biting cold wind, looked at their own bomber.

start up!

Thick black smoke came out from the nozzle of the engine. After a few tremors, it stopped moving. No success!

the second time!

Oaks felt the neigh of the engine in front, and looked forward to the engine's vigorous operation. However, after a burst of black smoke came out, the engine still did not start!

How could this be?

The U.S. Navy lacks experience in operating aircraft in severe cold regions. At this time, facing this unstartable aircraft, they immediately scolded their mothers countless times in their hearts. God, quickly bless the U.S. Navy!

At this time, on the surface of the sea that they hadn't noticed, the top of a small periscope had been stretched out, looking at them.

Otto saw clearly.

In the first round of shooting, all four torpedoes hit the target, killing two cargo ships and two aircraft carriers, but one aircraft carrier survived. This hit rate has already made Otto very satisfied.

Originally intended to hit the three aircraft carriers, but accidentally injured two cargo ships, this is simply an unexpected gain.

Today, we must seize the opportunity. After today’s battle, the Americans will definitely send more escorts.

Even if there are a few thousand-ton frigates in their formation now, they can come up head-on and throw depth charges in the sea. If so, they really have to dive down to avoid their depth bomb attacks.

However, they did not. This is not their negligence, but that this place should have been very safe, but it is a pity that their assumptions will completely ruin this fleet!

In the periscope, he looked at the only **** aircraft carrier, and actually thrown off the entire deck of the aircraft, and then quickly carried out the operation of the carrier aircraft, and also admired the opponent's aircraft carrier commander extremely. At this time, unexpectedly It was a miracle to be able to make the only correct order, and the commander of the other side did a few times.

It's a pity that God doesn't bless him, his carrier-based aircraft cannot be launched!

The surface of the sea was absolutely dripping into ice. Just a few hours ago, each of them went up to let the wind blow for two minutes. When they came back, the bones were frozen and crisp.

This is still summer, and if it comes to winter, it can be imagined that it will be extremely cold.

The American carrier-based aircraft could not be successfully launched, just look at the black smoke on the deck.

"The torpedoes have been reloaded, two oxygen torpedoes and four electric torpedoes." A report came from the torpedo compartment.

"Right rudder 1, launch tube 1, ready to launch oxygen torpedoes. Launch tube 3, ready to launch electric torpedoes.” Otto said.

Just a sneak attack, electric torpedoes were enough, but now, the other party has preparedness and wants to kill the third aircraft carrier. It is best to use oxygen torpedoes. This precious torpedo is the favorite of every submarine captain. .

At the same time, Otto's tactics are more effective. To deal with aircraft carriers, two are necessary.

"Bang, bang!" When the torpedo came out of the water, the high-pressure air pushed the torpedo out and made a dull sound. This sound soon reached the opponent's sonar.

"God, the other party fired a torpedo again!" the sonar soldier shouted.

In the first round of strikes, the sonar soldiers were not in place at all, and their sonars were not turned on. Now, after turning on the sonar in a hurry, the sonar soldiers found that they could not hear any underwater noise at all. The submarine was like a ghost in the water, he didn't even know how many ships the other party had.

But now, he heard the sound of the other party launching torpedoes, which meant that a new round of attacks was about to begin!

"Quickly, all those who don't have a task, let me go to the deck to observe!" Ralph said.

How to avoid the opponent's submarine, you must first find out! Now, they can only see with their eyes. If the opponent uses a heat-powered torpedo, it will leave bubbles on the sea. If it is an electric torpedo, then there will be nothing.

In short, it is better than waiting to die.

A famous sailor came out from various positions and ran to the side to observe, and at this moment, a roar finally came!

The bomber was launched!

Oaks slowly pushed the throttle lever to let the engine warm up before reaching the maximum power state. His plane already had a urge to move forward and wanted to take off.

"Empty the deck, I'm going to take off." Oakes shouted, how come unrelated personnel appeared on the deck?

"Quick, get out of the runway!" the deck crew shouted, and the unrelated sailors quickly got out of the runway.

When the brakes were released, the bomber began to accelerate on the deck. The limited deck length made it necessary to go all out to take off.

At this moment, a sharp-eyed sailor squatted on the side of the deck. He had already seen the bubbles emerging from the water, rushing towards him at a terrifying speed, which simply subverted his understanding.

"Ninety degrees on the right side, torpedo found!" he shouted loudly.
