According to Liu Hua's understanding, the maximum climbing height of the Japanese bombers in service is only 10,000 meters. The effective range of the heavy anti-aircraft artillery he is equipped with is also 10,000 meters. In other words, no matter how the Japanese army climbs in the sky, it will
It is always within the firing range of more than 400 heavy anti-aircraft guns.
Coupled with the fact that bombers are not as nimble as fighter jets, their slow climb speed and their bloated fuselage make them the first choice targets for ground anti-aircraft artillery...
"Elevation angle is 60 degrees, three o'clock direction, hit me hard..."
On the deck of a transport ship, with the order of an air defense commander, a whole heavy anti-aircraft artillery battalion with a total of 12 anti-aircraft guns appeared, as if they had been rehearsed in advance. The several-meter-long gun barrels were directly aimed at the predetermined shooting airspace.
.
"fire…."
"Dong dong dong..." A series of dull explosions sounded on the deck, and 12 anti-aircraft guns began to fire at the predetermined area at a speed of more than 300 rounds per minute.
For a moment, a bomber that was preparing to climb was immediately in front of it and was enveloped by a dense barrage. Before the astonished little Japanese bomber could make any reaction, the bomber that was climbing at high speed crashed directly into the ground air defense force.
Among the barrages that had been prepared for him in advance.
"Boom..." Along with a fiery red fireball rising in the sky, a violent airspace explosion also reached the ears of every artilleryman on the deck.
However, the hundreds of gunners in the entire anti-aircraft artillery battalion did not have any strange expressions because of the destruction of this bomber. Because, right above their heads, there were nearly a hundred Japanese aircraft flying around in the middle of the barrage.
Wait for them to aim and shoot.
Before the more than 300 artillerymen had time to take a breath and re-determine the new target, the commander once again issued an order to adjust the firing direction of the anti-aircraft artillery group.
"Elevation angle 75 degrees. Six o'clock direction, fire..."
Another burst of intensive gunfire and explosions sounded in the air. A bomber was directly hit and disintegrated in the air, turning into scattered machine parts...
On the deck of the ship, the artillerymen, one by one, were shirtless despite the biting cold wind on the sea. While they were sending shells into the gun barrels one after another, on the command platform of the "Beijing" aircraft carrier, Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan was holding up a telescope.
, while observing the fierce battle above his head, he used his trembling voice to count the number of Japanese aircraft that had exploded...
The Japanese planes knew the range of the anti-aircraft guns and finally fled in all directions. After they all left the airspace above the fleet, the intensive sound of artillery on the ground slowly stopped.
At this moment, on the entire command podium, except for Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua, who was still confidently standing motionless by the armrest, everyone else, including Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, had smiles of shock and excitement on their faces...
.
"Commander-in-Chief, forty-six. A total of forty-six fighter planes were shot down by us... Before the Japs officially launched their attack, we shot down more than one-third of the bombers... It's so powerful.
The anti-aircraft anti-aircraft tactics you formulated are simply the natural enemies of the Imps..." Chen Shaokuan said with emotion on his face.
Regarding Chen Shaokuan's excitement, Liu Hua nodded in agreement. However, in his heart, he did not admit that there were no natural enemies. Because he knew that although his dense air defense network was very tight, as long as the enemy had
If there are enough bombers to continuously launch saturation attacks against you, then no matter how many anti-aircraft guns you have, they will not have any effect.
However, the reason why Liu Hua, as the commander-in-chief, dared to take this risk with more than 300,000 elite members of the expeditionary force is very simple. After the Japanese government concentrated its financial resources to deal with the Pacific battlefield, they could not afford so many domestically.
If you use bombers to deal with yourself, there is no so-called saturation bombing. And your own air defense tactics accordingly become the natural enemy that the Japanese army group can never defeat...
Seeing the envy and adoration from his subordinates around him, Liu Hua waved his hand and said helplessly.
"Comrades, don't be too blindly confident. After all, no tactics can be invincible, and there are ways to break them. As for the first round of exchanges between us and the Japanese fleet, the reason why we were able to achieve such great results is that
An important reason is that the Japanese army does not know that we are equipped with so many army anti-aircraft guns, and there are more than 400 heavy anti-aircraft guns with a range of 10,000 meters..."
Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Liu Hua changed the subject and continued.
"Therefore, we cannot be careless in the next air defense. According to the nature of the Japanese, if they suffered such a heavy loss for no reason this time, they would not be willing to retreat, but would launch a larger-scale attack...
."
"Now, the Japanese fleet has learned about the equipment in our hands. If nothing happens, they will definitely change their bombing strategy...Commander Chen, you are a veteran in this regard. What do you think the little devil will do next?" Liu
Hua asked directly.
"Since the Commander-in-Chief has called his name, let me share my opinion?" After winning the first battle, Chen Shaokuan's ambition was aroused. Seeing Liu Hua's eyes, he spoke directly without any excuse.
"If the Japanese army conducts dive bombing from a high altitude, it is obvious that if they want to reach the optimal bombing height, they will be hit by several rounds of our anti-aircraft artillery. I believe that with the density of our anti-aircraft firepower, the Japanese aircraft will want to break through these anti-aircraft guns."
It is almost impossible to complete the net. And with the number of bombers remaining in the Japanese army, in order to achieve their goals, they will definitely not choose this kind of bombing method that is tantamount to death..."
"High-altitude dive bombing is not possible. The only thing the Japanese aircraft fleet can use is low-altitude horizontal bombing... From low altitudes, which are some air defense blind spots of our fleet, they forcefully break through our air defense firepower network, rush into the sky above our formation at low altitudes, and drop bombs."
"Of course, if I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would not only adopt the plan of low-altitude breakthrough horizontal bombing. At the same time, I would also order all bombers to attack together from all directions like a pack of wolves to disperse our limited side air defense firepower.
….”
"Well said..." Liu Hua nodded noncommittally.
However, what surprised everyone was that in response to Chen Shaokuan's analysis, as the commander-in-chief Liu Hua, the confident look on his face not only did not disappear, but became even stronger...
At this moment, Zuo Quan, who had been looking pensive just now, smiled. Because from the current formation of the fleet, combined with the performance of the army's anti-aircraft artillery, as the chief of staff, he suddenly discovered the cleverness of the commander-in-chief's deployment.
.At the same time, I can also see that the commander-in-chief in front of me has already been prepared for this style of play of the Japanese army...
"Chief of Staff, please introduce to everyone..." Seeing the smile on Zuo Quan's face, Liu Hua continued to name him.
"Yes. Commander-in-Chief..."
Zuo Quan walked directly to the armrest of the podium, pointed at the huge formation and introduced it.
"Comrades, please take a look at the current deployment of my formation. Remember, if you look from the center to the surroundings, you will find some mysteries..."
"Aircraft carriers, cruisers, transport ships, destroyers... only in terms of the deck height of each ship, from high to low, deployed in layers..." Chen Shaokuan answered to the point.
"Yes, that's the reason..." Zuo Quan replied affirmatively.
Then, with a mysterious face, he continued to speak to everyone: "In addition, I am telling you one thing. All the anti-aircraft guns we are equipped with can not only shoot upward, but also shoot horizontally. More importantly, they can shoot horizontally.
The firepower density is absolutely no worse than that of overhead shooting.”
"So, our fleet can not only deploy four air defense firepower networks in the air, but also on the sea..." Zuo Quan said with confidence.
Seeing everyone thinking thoughtfully, Liu Hua spoke: "Comrades, what the Chief of Staff said is very correct. Therefore, no matter which direction the Japanese aircraft group attacks from, it is impossible to approach our formation. Besides, with the remaining aircraft they currently have
It is impossible for fighter planes to attack us without restriction..."
"Now I order all air defense forces to prepare for the second round of attacks by Japanese aircraft groups..."
Compared with the high morale of the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the aircraft carrier, the nearly 100 Japanese fighter planes that had regrouped in the southeast airspace of the entire formation were all shrouded in low morale. Even the formation commander came up after listening to the reports of each squadron.
After the victory, I was so angry that I almost vomited blood on the spot...
"Baga, how could this happen... With 16 fighter jets and 30 bombers, how could the Chinese formation have such powerful anti-aircraft firepower? Why can their anti-aircraft guns cover an altitude of 10,000 meters? Can anyone tell me what is happening?
It's the same thing..." The commander roared angrily at his demoralized subordinates.
At this moment, a bomber squadron leader who had experienced the Pacific battlefield spoke.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I can confirm that in the air defense battle just now, the Chinese army used American Army heavy-duty anti-aircraft guns and light anti-aircraft guns. These anti-air attack anti-aircraft guns are very common on the Pacific battlefield, and their anti-aircraft range can reach
10,000 meters, and the rate of fire is very high. But what I didn’t expect was that the cunning Chinese people actually equipped the army’s anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns on the navy ships…”
"Is there a solution?"
After a brief reflection, the commander also knew that if the stalemate continued like this, his fleet would sink to the bottom of the sea due to running out of fuel without being attacked by others, so he asked directly.
"With the Chinese's dense air defense network, high-altitude dive bombing is tantamount to death. Therefore, I suggest using low-altitude horizontal bombing to break through the Chinese anti-aircraft firepower network from low altitude, the blind spot for anti-aircraft artillery..."
The squadron leader who just spoke suggested.
"Yo Xi, very good... Now I order all bombers, in small groups, to conduct scattered assaults from low altitudes and attack the Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet..." The Japanese commander, who could not think of any other way, looked murderous.
