Battle of the South Atlantic
Chapter 254:Battle of the South Atlantic
East of Cuba, on the Atlantic Ocean from Crooked Island, a large fleet is quietly swimming on the sea.
In the sky, large early warning aircraft hovered on the alert and searched for traces of the US Atlantic Task Force.
In order to recover the decline of the ground war, the U.S. Navy relies on the Atlantic Sixth Fleet and the Eighth Fleet to form a joint task force, ready to enter the Caribbean, no matter which target, the Red Guard Navy will not let go to further destroy the U.S. Navy.
At present, most of the U.S. Navy's main warships in the Pacific have been destroyed.
The remaining Atlantic Fleet was dominated by escort merchant ships, but also formed four fleets with the main combat level.
This is also the main target of the Red Guard Navy at this stage, Fan Yize's vision is not only the United States mainland, the Gulf of Mexico and all the islands in the Caribbean.
The Marines of the Expeditionary Corps are ready to begin landing on major islands such as Jamaica, Cuba, Dominica, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas.
In this area, only the United States and the Brazilian maritime coalition can block the Red Guard Corps, but the Brazilian Navy is not worried.
At present, the United States is negotiating with Brazil before and after the fight against the Red Police Corps cooperation, South America's war will also break out at any time, but the level of the Brazilian Navy is not enough to threaten the existence of the Red Guard Navy.
The blue sky and the blue sea, the clouds at the end of the sky, one of the four major fleets reorganized by the Navy of the Expeditionary Army, belong to the seven aircraft carriers of the southern Suzaku, and the quiet lulling standby.
As the 28 main aircraft carrier of the Expeditionary Legion Navy, all of them were completed and re-planned by the four major fleets, with the legend of the ancient Chinese 28 stars, as the name of the warship, and the fleet formed according to the four stars.
Dongqing Dragon Fleet, Western White Tiger Fleet, South Suzaku Fleet, Northern Xuanwu Fleet.
Through the Panama Canal, the fleet that appears in the South Atlantic is the South Suzaku Fleet, which has seven aircraft carriers: Jingmuqi, Golden Sheep, Liu Tuhu, Star-Rima, Zhang Yue Deer, Wing Fire Snake, and Bo Shui.
For nearly three days, the Southern Suzaku Fleet kept searching for this Atlantic Ocean near Latin America.
On the third day, the early warning aircraft finally found an enemy from afar.
The shiny military rang on the seven aircraft carriers, and the deck uploaded the roar of the ship's engine.
The island command personnel have issued orders for the aircraft to take off.
The signal light carrier flashes, and the commander of all departments on the aircraft carrier concentrates on the spirit, so that the aircraft carrier can operate in full.
Complex and accurate takeoff signals flashing, passing to every carrier-based pilot in the ready take-off position.
The silver ship-based aircraft hull, reflecting the metallic luster, in the hangar, a carrier-based aircraft, was being transported to the deck in an orderly manner, busy trailers, towing the carrier-based aircraft behind the take-off formation.
“Take-off command center, Muli-1 requests take-off.”
The Muji-1 carrier-based aircraft, which is also the joint captain of the aircraft carrier-based aircraft group of the Jingmu Li aircraft carrier, is the first to prepare for take-off.
Each of the four star fleets of carrier-based aircraft pilots, are the red police fighter division ace pilots, each has more than 1500 hours of carrier-based aircraft flight experience, which in the World War II period, is the fighter pilots of various countries, it is difficult to achieve the flight time.
This kind of pilot, experienced, is very familiar with aircraft carriers and aircraft, and has even integrated into his body, occupying most of his life.
"Mixie-1, all the data is normal, allowing take-off."
Wooden No. 1, also known as the pilot codenamed Wooden, after being ordered by the command, opened the take-off system of the carrier-based aircraft, pushed the joystick, and the engine issued a roar of high-speed publicity.
The aircraft glided, and on the runway of more than 100 meters long, the speed was rapidly improved, the scenery on both sides of the eyes outside the cockpit quickly retreated, and the sky on both sides began to blur.
With the sound of whistling, the aircraft carrier reached the speed of 35 knots, the headwinds advanced, the fierce strong wind raging around the carrier aircraft, the fierce air energy, so that the carrier-based aircraft taxied less than 100 meters away, it slowly broke away from the deck, and soon successfully lifted off.
Loaded with ammunition and fuel, the intruder carrier aircraft, which has taken off with a take-off weight of more than ten tons, took off smoothly on the carrier with an incredible lightness.
As the flyer, Muji-1 pulled up the joystick, and the carrier-based aircraft climbed rapidly, extremely fast.
The Muji-1 successfully took off, followed by other carrier-based aircraft, and also took off.
In just a few minutes, the deck of the ship's aircraft became empty.
Star-class aircraft carriers, capable of taking off more than 60 carrier-based aircraft in one go, which has great requirements for the huge aircraft carrier deck, can barely meet this large-scale take-off mission.
On the seven aircraft carriers, all the carrier-based aircraft took off smoothly, and the carrier-based aircraft, painted with seven kinds of star patterns, formed an attack formation in the sky, and under the guidance of the early warning aircraft, flew in the direction of the target.
The whistling fleet, such as the sword cut through the sky, the dense roar like thunder and whistle, flashing across the sky.
The dense fleet, overwhelming, hundreds of carrier-based aircraft, no match.
Wooden 1 is in the leading position, seven fleets, each of which maintains a complete formation.
After more than half an hour of flight, the ears of all the carrier-based aircraft came at the same time, the sound of the early warning aircraft came: "All attention, there is still a five-minute range from the target, the carrier-based fighter intercepts the US warship-borne aircraft, the carrier-based bomber attacks the enemy fleet, and the priority target is the US aircraft carrier."
At the same time, in the American task force, five huge aircraft carriers formed a huge fleet.
Composed of the main force of the Sixth Fleet and the Eighth Fleet, plus the newly commissioned aircraft carrier, the United States quickly formed this highly capable task force.
The Hornet aircraft carrier of the York City class, and four of the aircraft carriers Essex, consists of a large fleet of ships, in the South Atlantic, with unrivalled combat capability.
The fleet also had two North Carolina-class battleships and two South Dakota-class battleships.
Five aircraft carriers, four battleships, and a large number of Fletcher-class destroyers were around the fleet.
The Fletcher-class destroyer was a radar destroyer installed by the United States when it was built, and each ship was equipped with a complete radar system when it was in service, including air search radar and sea search radar.
Pronouns to the efficiency of the U.S. shipbuilding industry, nearly two hundred ships were built in just two years.
The most important enemy weapon is its main gun defense system, consisting of five 127 mm high-level dual-use naval guns and their firing control devices, which are responsible for the dual task of striking surface ships and long-range air targets.
Four twin 28 mm guns were also added as the main firepower for close air defences.
With a gross tonnage of 3,000 tons, it has the ability to attack torpedoes, and the maximum speed can reach 37 knots.
It is currently the absolute main destroyer of the US Navy, and it is also the fleet escort core ship that provides defense for the fleet.
As the other main air defense cruisers of the fleet, in fact, they are slightly behind both in terms of technology and from the latest naval combat mode.
The Navy's latest class of truly epoch-making cruisers, Baltimore-class cruisers, are still under construction, under attack from Red Guard strategic bombers, perhaps already a song of the U.S. Navy.
On the U.S. fleet, the radar has found the fleet in the sky, and the battle alarm is loud, so that the Red Guard Navy aircraft have lost the opportunity to sneak attack.
In the armada, which has a large number of radars on both sides, the attack has become very difficult.
And the Red Police Navy carrier-based aircraft, did not think to carry out a surprise attack, after all, the current U.S. Navy, no less than the bird of the bow, very careful.
As long as the radar finds the target, it is another mistake and will not be let go.
A large number of signals found on the radar, so that the U.S. fleet did not dare to have the slightest intention, began to launch a large-scale carrier-based aircraft.
The battleship in the U.S. task force is at this moment of embarrassment.
Japan used the surprise attack to let the world fully understand that the role of aircraft carriers in the navy can already exceed the battleships.
The era of battleships that dominate the sea is being replaced by aircraft carriers, and the era of the end has been opened, but for the navies of various countries, battleships are still very important.
The same is true within the United States, where there are still plenty of voices calling for the continued construction of battleships on a large scale.
But when the naval battle broke out, the helpless fact told the current U.S. specialistocyanade that the battleship could not find an enemy to attack, and the huge main gun could not be used to defend the carrier-based aircraft.
The battleship, acting as the escort of the aircraft carrier, sounded at the alarm, and was only able to operate anti-aircraft guns.
The rising sun, like a huge ball of fire hanging on the east sea, the fiery red light shone on the sea.
The sun-drenched, fast-moving U.S. Atlantic Task Force seems to be ready for interception operations.
All the American soldiers, all eyes wide open, staring at the distant sky.
Behind the sunrise, the dense black spots in the distance appeared, and the enemy seemed to have much more to expect.
Under the air defense warning without stopping, all the U.S. sailors and hands were sweating.
In the eyes, full of expectation to look at the enemy's own carrier-based aircraft, shouting the sound of refueling, covered the background of the sea.
However, hope and expectation, after the cross of the sky fighter in the distance, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The hundreds of aircraft that took off urgently appeared too small to intercept the huge enemy fleet.
At the moment of the encounter between the two sides, there were also a large number of aircraft, flying directly towards the fleet.
On the central battleship, destroyers and cruisers on the outskirts of the fleet can be seen, whistling anti-aircraft fire.
However, the fleet in the sky, completely unaffected in the invasion to the top of the fleet, but in all the U.S. troops looked up, almost at a vertical angle, pierced toward the sea.
Fleet anti-aircraft fire, there are many blind areas, the top of the battleship, is the most dangerous blind area.
The U.S. military fleet that was preparing to conduct air defenses, horrified to discover that its own anti-aircraft artillery had no attack angle at all.
Moreover, the altitude of the enemy aircraft, the angle of the invasion, is also outside the attack range of most anti-aircraft fire.
For a time, almost everyone was cold hands and feet, American officers holding telescopes, looking overhead, vertically invading the belly of the bomber, which was a huge intrusion bomb, the telescope can clearly see the stable tail behind the bomb, and the balanced tail rotor.
The warship moved quickly, trying to get rid of the vertically invading carrier-based bombers above, and gave the anti-aircraft firepower of the ship, bringing an angle that could attack.
There will always be gains in effort, and when a carrier-based bomber drops from 10,000 meters to only three kilometers, it also ushered in the dense anti-aircraft firepower of the sea fleet.
Every second can make people's adrenaline soar, whether it is the U.S. military or the Red Police Fighter Division, both sides are dancing on the tip of the knife, and they are often crushed.
“Blood Eagles, welcome our honor and kill...”
Inside the carrier-based bomber, the voice of the ship-based bomber co-captain, the violent jitter inside the fuselage, one by one, the carrier-based bomber pilots, crazy through the dense anti-aircraft fire, after all, the target below.
This is the battle of the warrior, the purgatory of infinite courage, and the moment of the true iron and blood warrior.
The next second, either death or honor, there is no second possibility, this is the battle with death.
Of the more than 200 carrier-based aircraft bombers that had been to the U.S. fleet, from three kilometers to one kilometer, many of the ship-based bombers were destroyed by anti-aircraft fire.
And when the altitude is close to within kilometers, it is really a moment of honor for the Red Police Fighter Division.
One by one, the invading bombs weighing a tonne were dropped, and the sky was all about fighter jets and bombs.
For any warship in the United States, it is a destructive invasion bomb, which is unstoppable, and once hit, serious injury is the best result, and it is not surprising that it is directly sunk.
Drop the bomb, frantically skim over the U.S. warship, and then continue to pull down the flight altitude, the gun swept intensively toward the warship ahead.
Essex-class No. 3, the aircraft carrier Intrepid, was the first to be hit by a missile, a ton of missiles, with the help of the extreme dive of the ship-borne bomber, the lethality reached the limit.
The horrifying bomb, which penetrated the Intrepid’s deck directly, continued to penetrate the two-story hangar and then detonated inside the carrier.
Seven hundred kilograms of high explosives exploded, more than 30,000 tons of aircraft carrier, as if it were paper, roaring loud, sounded on the sea, directly into the fuel depot explosion of the bomb, almost an instant, the aircraft carrier exploded into two.
The power is very amazing, the water-fed parts of the sea and the keel are all broken, the fire and smoke in the sky are rolling, the fearless tooth is broken, the flexion of the bruise is tingled.
