Less than half an hour after the two carrier-based fighter squadrons took off for patrol, the second round of Japanese reconnaissance aircraft, totaling six, pounced directly on the expeditionary force fleet from three different directions...
While fierce exchanges of fire were heard over the fleet, more than sixty carrier-based fighter pilots were standing in front of Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan with serious faces on the deck of the aircraft carrier 'Beijing'.
"Comrades, let me ask you a question now. Compared with the Japanese Air Force, what are the advantages of our carrier-based fighter jets?" A pair of eyes quickly scanned the sixty people who might be gone and never come back at any time in the next air battle.
Many pilots later asked loudly to dozens of people.
"Speed...firepower..."
"Very good, everyone still remembers. You are right. The American carrier-based aircraft we are equipped with, whether in terms of firepower, aircraft speed and climb, far exceed the Japanese combat aircraft currently in service. In this case,
Let me ask you another question, compared with the Japanese Air Force, what are our disadvantages?" Chen Shaokuan nodded in agreement and continued to ask everyone.
Regarding Chen Shaokuan's sudden question, everyone's faces immediately showed a look of confusion. After all, in their own image, in order to ensure the high morale of the troops, the commander would only tell all kinds of his own side's problems before going into battle.
Advantages are used to improve the morale of subordinates.
But Commander Chen Shaokuan in front of him actually did the opposite.
Although they didn't know the reason, since the commander had asked, as their subordinates, they immediately answered. However, compared with the previous answer, this answer seemed much messier. Some said 'number of aircraft', and some said
'Inexperienced in combat'... In a word, it can be anything.
Waving his hands, after everyone's eyes returned to him, Chen Shaokuan said directly: "Comrades, although I am not a pilot. However, from your answers just now, I also understand that the strength of our carrier-based aircraft formation
The disadvantages are mainly reflected in two aspects: the lack of combat experience of the pilots and the insufficient number of our aircraft, almost one less aircraft every time we fight..."
"Now that we all know our own strengths and weaknesses, how should we use our strengths to make up for our weaknesses? You have to understand. The next battle you need to face is just the first round of air strikes launched by the Japanese army.
Before our expeditionary force actually lands on the Japanese mainland, there may be a second or even third round of Japanese air strikes. So, no matter when, you must remember to protect yourself as much as possible while destroying the enemy...
.”
"Captain Wang, you are the one with the most combat experience among all the pilots. Please tell everyone. In the next battle, what specific tactics will you use to achieve the requirements I just mentioned..." Chen Shaokuan said directly.
commanded.
"Yes, Commander..."
Captain Wang Chao stood up directly from the team. He spoke loudly to his expectant subordinates: "Commander Chen just said it is very correct. As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in any battle.' Only by truly understanding the strengths and weaknesses of both the enemy and ourselves can we do that."
Be able to do it with ease during the battle..."
"And how should we crush the enemy's attack and achieve the final victory in the air battle? In my opinion, there is only one way at present, and that is 'air ambush battle'..."
Okinawa is the only airspace that the Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet must pass through. All the carrier-based aircraft owned by the entire fleet, under the command of captain Wang Chao, are like hunters, cruising back and forth among the clouds, waiting for the first wave of Japanese attack aircraft groups.
arrival.
Everyone's waiting was not in vain. In less than half an hour, a dark group of aircraft appeared close to the sea and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
One fighter wing, two bomber wings, a total of more than 100 Japanese fighter planes with little devil plaster flags on them. With fighter jets as the vanguard, a huge formation of bombers followed and appeared majestically below the Chinese carrier-based aircraft group...
.
Although the number of Japanese fighter planes has almost doubled, among them, there are only one fighter group that can compete with our own and can fight in a battle, with a total of thirty-six aircraft. The ratio of exactly two to one makes hiding in the clouds
Every Chinese pilot's face showed bloodthirsty and expectant eyes...
Getting closer and closer, when a huge Japanese attack aircraft group flew directly under his formation. The command voice of the formation commander Wang Chao was transmitted to the ears of every pilot through the earphones in an instant...
"Comrades, the fish has been hooked. Next, it's our turn...According to the original battle plan, two fighter jets form a combat group and attack the Japanese fighter group directly from the rear...Remember, aim for me.
Now, in the first round of dive attacks, at least I have to kill more than half of the Japanese fighter jets..."
"Now I order all formations to find their targets and start diving attacks..."
Captain Wang Chao's order had just been issued. The carrier-based fighter jets, which were hiding in the clouds and already ready to go, were like falcons that found their prey. They rushed out of the clouds in groups of two and rushed towards the huge Japanese army.
Attack cluster….
Relying on the advantage of speed and the entire carrier-based fighter formation attacking from a high position, the Japanese attack formation had just discovered the sudden enemy overhead, and more than 70 fighter jets had already sprayed out more than 70 thick tongues of fire...
"Dong dong dong..." A series of dull aviation machine gun fires sounded in the air. Japanese fighter planes that had not had time to make any reaction were directly hit in the dense rain of large-caliber aviation bullets and exploded...
.
In a brief firefight of less than ten seconds, dozens of huge fireballs appeared in the center of the huge Japanese attack aircraft group. Of course, in addition to the nineteen Japanese fighter planes that exploded directly in the air, there were six Japanese fighter planes that were strafing with bullets.
Although there was no immediate explosion, the billowing smoke from the fuselage told everyone without exception that it was only a matter of time before these planes sank to the bottom of the sea...
In the first round of attacks, the lucky Chinese carrier-based aircraft formation relied on its own advantages and premeditation to eliminate in one fell swoop a total of 25 Japanese fighter jets that were the only ones that could compete with it, and achieved the first victory in the entire air battle, which was also decisive.
of victory.
Although the huge losses made the remaining Japanese pilots feel heartbroken. However, for the safety of the bomber group behind them, the only eleven remaining fighter jets were still in the hands of the veteran pilots of the Little Japanese pilots, and they desperately began to turn around and fight back...
Seeing the several tongues of flames shot instantly at him by the Japanese fighter planes, the formation commander Wang Chao immediately gave the order to retreat.
"Asshole, what are you doing standing still? Don't you want to live anymore? The little devil has already started to fight back. Climb up immediately. Climb up quickly..."
Wang Chao's order was very timely. Under the rapid counterattack of the Japanese army, the entire formation, except for one carrier-based fighter jet that was a bit slow to react, was shot down. The rest relied on the excellent performance and speed of the aircraft to quickly
Escaped from the pursuit of eleven Japanese fighter planes, and once again returned to the commanding heights...
"Comrades, the Japs only have eleven fighter jets left. If we don't kill them all in this attack, we will not survive. Two squads are responsible for one fighter jet. Choose them for me.
Don’t repeat the target. Now I order the Second Carrier Aircraft Group to start attacking for the sake of victory..."
As soon as Captain Wang Chao's order reached everyone's ears, more than 70 fighter planes that had been ready for attack swooped down. Perhaps because a comrade had just sacrificed his life, this attack, in addition to its fierceness, was also full of energy.
Murderous...
Six fighter planes faced off against one Japanese fighter plane, and they also took advantage of the performance of the aircraft. The final result was no surprise. The carrier-based aircraft fleet successfully defeated the remaining 11 Japanese fighters at the cost of two planes crashing and one plane being injured.
All planes were wiped out.
Looking at the bomber formation in front of him, which was already a little messy due to the loss of fighter cover, Wang Chao's face immediately showed excitement and bloodthirsty eyes. He gave a direct order to the microphone beside his mouth.
"Comrades, the danger has been eliminated now. Next, it depends on everyone's performance. The injured fighter planes will return immediately, and the remaining ones will follow me to attack the enemy bombers. Remember, eliminate the weeds and destroy every last one...
.”
"Yes, Captain..."
The more than seventy bombers were huge, slow, and almost defenseless. In front of the fighter jets, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They had no ability to resist at all. Even the pilots who flew the carrier-based fighter jets were all rookies.
As a dense group of fighter jets began to attack the Japanese flying formation, a one-sided massacre completely unfolded.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Accompanied by the sound of explosions rang out in the combat airspace, huge fireballs generated by volley explosions slowly fell to the sea. In less than ten minutes, more than 70 bombers were left alone.
Less than a cross is making the final struggle...
Seeing that the remaining fuel of the plane was running low, captain Wang Chao immediately issued an order to end the battle.
"What a fool, attack immediately, kill the remaining Japs, and prepare to return. We are running out of fuel..."
In the end, the entire carrier-based aircraft formation successfully annihilated a Japanese aviation division through a pre-planned aerial ambush. With minimal losses, it completely crushed the first round of Japanese air strikes.
