Chapter 1502 Crazy counterattack
"Baga! Are you talking nonsense?"
This Japanese staff officer would be fine if he didn't say this. When he talked about this, Nan Yunzhong came to the sky without any anger and pointed at the sky.
"Didn't you look at us now that there is only one aircraft carrier intact? Haven't you seen the Imperial Fighter Farms all in the air waiting for recycling?
Even if we can take off dozens or hundreds of bombers immediately, but without the escort of fighter jets, would you let the Imperial Air Warriors die?"
The naval staffer said, "Genius General, isn't General Yamamoto organizing an attack on the US fleet? And aren't there any other fleets around us that can provide fighter escort?"
Before Nagashima Tadashi answered, another Japanese staff officer standing next to him poured cold water and said, "Ono, it's better to be more practical, this will not work at all!
Our top priority is to complete the aircraft recycling as soon as possible and prepare for air defense! Our fleet's mission this time is to act as bait, not to participate in the attack.
Besides, even if you can do what you said, the Imperial Air Warriors who completed the bombing mission will not be able to return to the fleet before they can hear it dark!"
"Suga! What Mr. Kobayashi said is very true. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, so we don't have to hurry up!
And I believe that the Imperial Warriors sent by General Yamamoto will definitely return with great victory, and the sacrifices of our fleet will definitely be valuable!"
Of course, Tadaichi Nagashima also wanted to fight back immediately, and immediately give up the anger in his heart!
However, the interceptor group has returned to the airplane above the Japanese fleet. Fighters protecting aircraft carriers also need to land and refuel.
If an attack is launched immediately, there will be no enough fighter escort, and the runway on the ship is occupied by the take-off aircraft, then all the fighter jets with empty fuel tanks will fall into the sea.
At this time, Tadakaichi Nagamoto could only delay the attack time, first retracted the aircraft carrier escort fighter jet, and then decided whether to organize troops to attack the US fleet based on the situation.
"Three aircraft carriers were lost, and two others were seriously injured? Preliminary statistics shot down 47 Allied fighter jets, 45 dive bombers, 26 torpedo bombers, Baga!"
After receiving the battle report, Yamamoto Iroku frowned again and said, "The Imperial fleet's air defense power is still very strong, but passive defense can only be passively beaten! The role of aircraft carriers in naval battles is getting bigger and bigger, and compared with the Allies, the number of Imperial aircraft carriers is still too small!"
The Black Island Turtle nodded and agreed: "Yes, the core force of the current naval battle has become an aircraft carrier battle group. If the empire does not completely abandon the thinking of the battleship duel as soon as possible, the consequences will probably be very serious."
"March, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about it after the naval battle!"
After hearing this, Yamamoto Izuru felt very heartbroken and waved his hand, "Next, let's wait quietly for the good news from the Imperial Air Warriors!"
At present, Yamamoto Iroku's greatest hope is that his offensive troops can achieve greater results and can severely sink several Allied aircraft carriers.
"The warriors of the Empire have charged forward for the sake of the great Japanese Empire for thousands of years!"
"For the Yamato people's tomorrow, attack!"
"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"
"His Majesty the Emperor" is on-load!"
At this moment, as Yamamoto Izuru and others expected, the carrier-based aircraft group that took off from Kondo Nobutake's Second Fleet finally broke into the air above the Allied fleet after a series of desperate charges.
Faced with the crazy attack of the Japanese aircraft group, the Allied escort aircraft group and ship anti-aircraft artillery naturally tried their best to intercept them and shot them down on the offensive road!
Compared with Allied bomber pilots, Japanese bomber pilots not only have stronger practical skills, but also have more crazy combat styles.
These Japanese pilots finally rushed to the sky above the fleet. At this time, they saw a vast number of Allied ships, especially those large aircraft carriers, like a group of red-eyed wolves, all of whom launched suicide attacks fiercely.
But the old saying is that there is no shield in the world that cannot be broken, especially when the opponent's strength is not much weaker than himself, there is really no way to completely defend against such a lifeless and sudden attack.
On the extremely chaotic battlefield, more than 30 Japanese torpedo aircraft lined up in several straight lines, lowered their flight altitude, and rushed straight to several large aircraft carriers.
During the suicide charge, the Japanese army paid the price of more than ten torpedo bombers again, and then they saw torpedo pounce into the water, forming high-speed sprinting wave lines on the water surface.
Bang bang bang bang, after a moment, four aircraft carriers were directly hit by one to three torpedoes, and a violent explosion occurred!
Two of the aircraft carriers hit by multiple torpedoes were extremely injured, with huge holes appearing, and the sea water began to flow backwards wildly, and in just a few minutes it sank directly into the seabed.
In addition, the pilots of the Japanese dive bomber group also fought hard. Many Japanese pilots actually chose self-destructive attacks, and they directly hit the aircraft carrier with their people and planes.
Then a shocking explosion came. The heavy bombs and the fuel on the plane formed a devastating explosion power, which turned several aircraft carriers into burning fireballs, and rolled black smoke rushed into the sky.
"I'm going to buy it! These damn devils!"
"Oh my God, are all Japanese soldiers crazy?"
"Damn, these Japanese are really a bunch of beasts!"
"Brothers, beat me hard, and you can't let go of a single fight!"
"Kill!"
Under the crazy suicide attack of the Japanese fleet, the Allied fleet suffered extremely serious casualties in a short period of time, among which the first target aircraft carrier group was the worst.
Seeing that his fleet suffered such serious casualties, all the Allied soldiers went crazy and sacrificed their lives to block them wildly. Countless angry tongues of fire spewed out from the sky and the sea, forming a dense and terrifying firepower network.
The entire air strike process was not long, only about ten minutes, but for both sides, it was like a century, and both sides were suffering serious casualties every minute and every second.
When the bombing was over and the Japanese army began to return, the red-eyed Allied planes had no idea of stopping, and they all rushed forward with endless anger and hatred to pursue.
They chased after more than 200 kilometers. It was not until the second wave of Japanese planes came to rescue. After a fierce air battle with the Japanese Air Force, they were reluctant to go back to their homes and find their mothers.
Because the sky was gradually getting darker at this time, less than an hour before darkness. If it was too late, even if there was fuel on their plane, they would not be able to discredit the landing on the aircraft carrier.
"Huh! It's really a bit dangerous today. We almost have to explain it here!"
After the dust settled, Liu Qiang breathed a long sigh, and today the aircraft carrier Zhenyuan where he was located also became the target of the Japanese army.
Fortunately, he was only hit by a heavy bomb, and a big hole was blown up on the deck, igniting a raging fire.
As the shocking explosion and scorching air waves came, Liu Qiang once again felt the approaching of death.
The staff and guards around him were so scared that their faces were pale and insisted on escorting Liu Qiang to take refuge from Zhenyuan.
But Liu Qiang was so angry that he said he wanted to live and die with Zhenyuan.
Chapter completed!
