Chapter five hundred and seventy fourth: I should fight back
Uncle Sam's country's strategic intention to launch a sneak attack on the Xia Province of the Chinese Empire this time is very obvious, and they are striving to use surprise attacks to turn into strategic attacks across the board.
What it has been planning for a long time is to annihilate or severely damage the Empire's Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop, seize the Pacific naval fortress - Zhenzhu Port, and even Xia Province. Establish Sam's military superiority in the entire Asia-Pacific region, and continue to take initiatives against other targets of the Empire.
Attack, making it unable to accumulate enough strength to confront the Sam Kingdom and win the war.
The first step of this strategy was a gamble - a raid on the Empire's Xia Province and Pacific Fleet.
There are two important contents in its combat plan. One is to completely destroy the capital ships of the Empire's Pacific Fleet, and the other is to completely occupy the entire Empire's Xia Province.
The purpose of this is to turn the Xia Province of the Empire into an extended part of its territory, lay a solid foundation in the North Pacific, and prepare for a direct attack on the Empire's homeland and Southeast Asia. Therefore, it does not hesitate to make a desperate effort to develop a carrier-based air force.
, achieve the goal of dominating the Asia-Pacific with powerful naval and air forces.
It is a pity that Yan Bing, the commander of the Empire's Pacific Fleet, is not a mediocre person. He has extremely accurate control of the war. After receiving the news of the incoming Sam fleet, he did not recklessly lead the fleet to fight against the Sam fleet. Instead, he took the fleet far away
Hiding. In this way, the first step of Sam's strategy was not achieved.
Unable to attack Yan Bing's headquarters, the Sam fleet had to shift all its targets to Xia Province and the military port, hoping to severely damage the Xia Province imperial defense and pave the way for the next attack by Sam's five fleets.
But what makes Commander Sam feel strange is that after the first four waves of aircraft fleets returned safely, the fleets of several subsequent sorties have not returned. This is quite puzzling to him. You know, at the beginning,
There are still more than 800 return flights in the 4th wave. There should be more return flights in the subsequent waves?!
Commander-in-Chief Sam could not help but dispatch several carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, but the result was still nothing, and there was no news.
After waiting for another half an hour, the subsequent wave of fighter jets never returned. After all, Commander Sam couldn't help but feel anxious and issued an action order. Originally, Sam's fighter jet group had been planned to fly in several waves.
, take off in rotation to carry out the combat mission of bombing Xia Province. In this way, the fleet can take turns loading bombs and supplies on the aircraft carrier.
After waiting left and right for a group of fighter jets and reconnaissance planes, none of them showed up. Commander Sam couldn't help but sent out the remaining 800 or so bombers. These 800 or so bombers were Sam's bombers this time.
All that's left is air power.
More than 800 bombers, which had been fully loaded with ammunition and fuel and ready for launch, took off at the command of Commander Sam and sped towards Xia Province.
Commander Sam refused to believe anything he said. The Empire had the ability to keep all the more than 2,000 bombers. But he still couldn't figure out where these more than 2,000 bombers had gone. Was they parked at the Xia Province Airport?
He thought suspiciously.
At this time, Sam's five fleets were less than 200 nautical miles away from Xia Province. At this distance, according to the speed of A2, it would not take two hours to go back and forth. But this fatal two-hour journey made Commander Sam
I was heartbroken because the last 800 or so bombers took off and just like the fighters in front, they never came back.
Not only Commander Sam, but also Sam's ordinary soldiers felt that there was a strange and depressing atmosphere in the air. It was almost noon in the sea near Xia Province.
Even the scorching sun can't drive away the biting chill in the Sam people's hearts.
"Order: The five major fleets will circle to the west coast of Imperial Xia Province and implement the second step plan. Conduct a strong attack on Zhenzhu Port." Commander Sam couldn't help but feel the psychological pressure like grass, and issued the second step plan to the five major fleets.
——The military operation of the fleet attacking Zhenzhu Port. Because he had a bad feeling that he couldn't see anything clearly...
Under the orders of Commander Sam, Sam's five fleets, a frighteningly large fleet, were divided into 10 super arrays and headed towards Xia Province at full speed.
Commander Sam's bad premonition is correct. In fact, anyone who encounters this situation will have a strong sense of depression, unless this guy is an idiot. Because all of Sam's fighters are carried by Zhou Yu
The death ray weapon was destroyed, not even the man, machine or trash was left.
After annihilating Sam's fleet, Zhou Yu issued an attack order against Yan Bing. Of course, this attack did not require Yan Bing to lead the fleet to fight against Sam's huge fleet, but to ask Yan Bing to dispatch carrier-based aircraft groups and conduct aerial bombardments.
Sam Fleet.
Without the escort of fighter planes, the Sam fleet was nothing more than a lamb to be slaughtered to Yan Bing's carrier-based aircraft group.
At the same time, the empire's old shore-based aircraft groups also took off one by one from remote small airfields. Just like Yan Bing's idea, more than 400 shore-based aircraft groups encountered the Sam attack group, and more than 60 were lost.
After landing the shore-based fighter jets, they immediately made the decision to avoid fighting and preserve their strength. After all, the Imperial pilots could not afford to lose.
At this time, after receiving the news that the Sam fighter fleet was completely destroyed, the remaining 300 or so shore-based fighters also participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the Sam fleet.
When the vanguard fleet of Sam's huge fleet successfully arrived 20 nautical miles away from the Xia Province of the Empire, a total of more than 600 shore-based and carrier-based aircraft groups appeared in the western sky above them.
"Reconnaissance aircraft No. 1 reported to the captain that Sam's Vanguard Fleet was spotted ahead at 12 o'clock." Through the prompt from the Shenlong, the imperial reconnaissance aircraft quickly obtained the report of Sam's Vanguard Fleet and reported it to Mahan. This batch of Imperial Xia Province Coast
The base aircraft group was temporarily merged and put under the unified leadership of Mahan.
Mahan led the mixed fleet to get the Shenlong's report without searching. After obtaining the report, the Mahan fleet flew over Sam's vanguard fleet.
"Continue to search eastward." Mahan gave instructions to the reconnaissance aircraft while continuously giving orders to the mixed fleet that followed to prepare for battle. At this time, Mahan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Sam's vanguard fleet? It had both aircraft carriers and aircraft carriers.
There are other ships, and there are no fighter planes to assist in defense. What a good prey, what a perfect target!
How could such a perfect target not make Mahan's heart beat? Although he only discovered Sam's Vanguard Fleet, it was still far from defeating the small and big ones. Mahan's idea was that if Sam's Vanguard Fleet was defeated, the main fleet would not be able to even think about it.
