Mahan habitually looked at the time, 13:10, and then looked down at the Sam Vanguard Fleet, which was already exposed in sight. At this time, the Sam Vanguard Fleet also discovered the sudden appearance of the Imperial Aviation Bomber Group.
.
The Sam Vanguard main aircraft carrier hurriedly moved closer to the depths of the fleet, trying its best to seek cover from the ship-borne anti-aircraft artillery. The other ships of the Vanguard fleet quickly formed a dense circular formation to protect the Sam Pioneer main aircraft carrier and auxiliary aircraft carriers.
Center. But if the fleet is lined up, how can it be possible that the fleet is coming so quickly?
"Listen, each combat group will carry out uninterrupted attacks according to combat formations, giving priority to attacking enemy aircraft carriers." Mahan's order came from the public channels of each aircraft.
After Mahan's order was issued, the Empire's more than 600 mixed bombers instantly formed combat groups according to the formations of each flight group. First, there were 8 Imperial aircraft groups of the flight group, diving towards the main aircraft carrier Sam and the auxiliary aircraft carrier respectively.
Because Sam had never expected that under the joint attack of 3,000 and hundreds of A2s, the empire would still have fighter planes. Therefore, the array of Sam's vanguard fleet was not neatly arranged. The aircraft carrier did not receive a very effective escort, which was also unreasonable.
After all, it is impossible for the fleet to form a centripetal formation toward the aircraft carrier while sailing at high speed.
Not to mention Sam's country, even the imperial fleet cannot achieve a too strict centripetal array when sailing at high speed.
This gave the Imperial bomber formation an opportunity to take advantage of it. The eight Imperial aviation groups easily broke through to the sky above the Sam aircraft carrier.
What is extremely sad is that in order to make the deck of the aircraft carrier a real through-deck, the Sam State also followed the example of the Imperial aircraft carrier and built all the superstructures on the side of the central island and also did not install too many anti-aircraft guns and naval guns.
After all, the role of an aircraft carrier is not close combat. It is a deep strike. In addition, the most important thing is that the aircraft carrier's defense system, in addition to the protective ships of the aircraft carrier formation, also has carrier-based aircraft to provide escort. But at this time, the Sam aircraft carrier
Not to mention carrier-based aircraft, even escort ships cannot form an effective protective circle.
With the fleet controlled by the Imperial Mahan having absolute air control, the only thing the Sam fleet had to do was to form an anti-air protection formation, quickly turn around and escape. To use an inappropriate analogy, the Sam fleet at this time was like a deer running on the ground.
To the eagles in the sky, they can only evade and have no power to fight back.
Facing the Sam Vanguard Fleet aircraft carrier with almost zero defense coefficient, the empire's eight aviation bombing groups swooped down without any worries, almost clinging to the superstructure of the Sam aircraft carrier. Dropping heavy aviation torpedoes one after another, this kind of
The hit rate is surprisingly high.
The decks of the Sam Pioneer main aircraft carrier and auxiliary aircraft carrier were hit by an average of more than 10 heavy torpedoes.
This kind of aviation torpedo of the Empire is different from the aviation torpedoes of any country in the world. It is the second generation of aviation torpedo of the Empire. Compared with the first generation of aviation torpedo, the second generation of aviation torpedo has significantly improved the speed, range and submarine speed.
Depth, hit accuracy and destructive power.
It has achieved miniaturization, generalization and serialization. It can be airdropped or dropped by surface ships; it can be used for anti-submarine warfare (especially against deep-water fast submarines and shallow-water slow submarines) and for attacking surface ships; it can also be used with any active service in the empire.
When used with launchers on ships and aircraft, the power is even greater.
More than 10 powerful second-generation aviation torpedoes were dropped on the Sam aircraft carrier by the Imperial Air Force at ultra-low altitude. This kind of power was not something that the Sam aircraft carrier could resist. Not to mention more than 10, even 2 Imperial second-generation aviation torpedoes
, can cause the Sam aircraft carrier to suffer heavy damage and cause it to sink.
The main aircraft carrier and auxiliary aircraft carrier of Sam's vanguard fleet were quickly decomposed and sunk by powerful and numerous torpedoes in almost the blink of an eye. Even those Sam soldiers rarely survived...
Mahan and his other bombing brigade also quickly opened large gaps in the panicked Sam fleet. Then countless Imperial fighter planes penetrated into the Sam fleet through the gaps opened by their avant-garde comrades.
Dancing in the death rays fired by Sam, "sowing" gorgeous "fireworks".
Because the ships of the Sam Vanguard Fleet need to make snaking movements to avoid the precise bombing of the Imperial bombers, they cannot form formations at all. As a result, the Imperial Mahan bomber fleet occupied the entire airspace of the Sam Vanguard Fleet, firmly controlling the combat initiative.
, destroying Sam's vanguard fleet's attempt to form an anti-air defense formation.
When the Sam aircraft carrier was sunk one by one, and the Imperial bombing formation divided the other ships of the Sam Vanguard fleet into pieces, at this time, Mahan's command of the bombing operation against the Sam Vanguard fleet was settled, and the dust fell.
After personally leading the team to sink two Sam vanguard ships in succession, Mahan issued orders to the bomber fleet to interfere with the enemy ship's air defense fire network, implement fire suppression, and cover the attack fleet to carry out fixed-point bombing.
Moreover, he himself also took the lead in swooping down on the enemy's air defense firepower fleet. With his super abnormal hand speed of nearly 30 movements, keen observation, and skillful driving skills, he interspersed in the enemy's air defense firepower network. Random large-caliber heavy
The machine gun is also used to suppress enemy gun positions and important shooting positions.
Mahan's tactic is a very mature combined attack technique operated by the Imperial Air Force. It is mainly manifested in the fact that experienced and skilled ace pilots with manual hand speeds reaching and exceeding 10 movements can fly fighter planes on the enemy's fire net.
Air-to-air attraction, disrupting the sight of enemy shooters, and covering other comrades in flying aircraft to carry out targeted bombing.
This combat method can maximize the effectiveness of the bomber fleet while minimizing the relative battle loss rate.
Under the example of Mahan and other a group of imperial ace air force experts, the pilots of the Mahan bomber fleet all performed to the highest level of training. Their fighting will and morale soared unprecedentedly. They were divided into batches and at fixed points.
Conduct ultra-low-altitude bombing on one or several of the enemy ships, and occasionally strafe them with fire.
Such a team's combat ideas brutally sank one enemy ship after another, successfully opening a larger gap for subsequent bomber formation attacks and paving a safer path for attack.
Originally, the Imperial Vanguard bomber group used a double-winged formation. When the subsequent Imperial bomber group broke through, the formation evolved into a column. Because, as the gap continued to expand, the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower, against the fighter planes,
The threat is rapidly decreasing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
