Chapter 376: The Great Ming Plane Comes to the Sky!Where is the old American aircraft carrier? (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

North Atlantic, November 11, 27:4 am.

Darkness envelops the ocean, mist fills the air, clouds cover the moon, and the sea undulates.

Suddenly, in the darkness, two beams of white light shot up into the sky. As the two beams of white light pierced the darkness, the sea seemed to wake up from the long winter sleep ahead of time, followed by several white beams of light from searchlights , piercing the surrounding darkness.

Inside the Chicheng Bridge, Li Zhaoxun looked up at the Kaga not far away, and suddenly felt a very unreal feeling in his heart.Is it true that the era of big guns and giant ships has just passed away?Just a 100-kilogram bomb attached to a small biplane wooden plane of the Haifeilong and Ssangyong can blow up a large ship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons to pieces?

He looked around again, in the dark ocean, besides the Akagi where he was, there was only one Kaga left.Just these two half-baked aircraft carriers transformed from fast merchant ships, without even escorting destroyers and light cruisers, relying on their own speed and dozens of carrier-based aircraft, they can fly in the North Atlantic. It can be regarded as the sea of ​​the enemy's heart, rampant in the sea.

What would happen if it was replaced by the four Shuzhongwang-class aircraft-carrying battlecruisers?

This simply overturned everyone's imagination!
"Report, all the planes participating in the air strike are ready." The voice of an air force staff officer from the Pacific Fleet echoed in the bridge of the Akagi, and all the officers of the Dezhou Sea and Land, including Xixiang, stopped. After finishing the matter at hand, he turned his attention to Li Zhaoxun.

Although he is only the head of the "flying instructor" sent by the Pacific Fleet in name, he can actually decide whether and how the two flying teams of Akagi and Kaga can attack!

Without his nodding, not even one of the 80 ships on the Akagi and Kaga ships could take off!

And this carrier-based aircraft dispatch early this morning was proposed by him, and he personally planned and organized it.

In fact, it is doubtful whether the current carrier-based aircraft can take off from the aircraft carrier at night. Even the Daming Naval Aviation Command does not allow carrier-based aircraft to perform tasks in high sea conditions and low visibility conditions in principle.

However, there are situations where the mission is violated, or because of a higher principle, the mission must be carried out. The final decision on whether to carry out the mission is in the hands of the commander of the flight group like Li Zhaoxun.

Those who can hold this position are undoubtedly the best pilots. If they think they can't fly, then they really can't fly.

Li Zhaoxun had already changed into a thicker flight suit, and nodded to meet everyone's gaze. Without saying a word, he strode out of the bridge and went down to the flight deck where the sea wind was howling.

It is meaningless to talk about whether you can fly or not, the first one to fly on a Ssangyong aircraft is the one who can really fly!
On the deck, Feng Mingshan, who is also flying a SsangYong aircraft, is standing in front of his beloved Ssangyong fighter jet, turning his head to look at his brochure with a bar of three stars!
He's now a Captain in the Navy!
Before the war started, this rank was beyond the imagination of a master sergeant who had never been to a military academy.But now, he has stepped into the wind of naval aviation, and his military rank has risen to the point of flying.Just after the bombing of Wall Street, Captain Li Zhaoxun personally announced to all the pilots who participated in the operation the collective first-class merit award order and military rank promotion order issued by Zhuge Weidao.

All pilots who participated in the battle, those whose military rank is lower than a major, will be promoted by one rank, and will receive military medals and large bonuses after returning.

"Mingshan, don't look, after this battle is over, you should be promoted to major!"

Li Zhaoxun's loud voice came out suddenly, telling Captain Fengda a great news, and then a piercing siren suddenly sounded on the deck. To Fengmingshan and the others' ears, this sound was the sound of being promoted and getting rich!
"Board!"

Li Zhaoxun yelled again when he passed Fengming Mountain.

"Yes, sir!" The future Fengda major responded, and beckoned to his co-pilot: "Get on the plane, let's do meritorious service!"

The pilot of Fengming Mountain is a newcomer. His former co-pilot Li Pingqing has also passed the test as a pilot and is currently training in the flight school of Hainan Airlines.If nothing else, he will soon become a carrier-based aircraft pilot.

When Li Zhaoxun, Feng Mingshan and others climbed into the cockpit of their carrier aircraft, the two aircraft carrier frigates had already started to soar against the wind.The engines of the carrier-based aircraft were also started with the help of the ground staff, and the propellers turned rapidly, quickly turning into a circle of phantoms.A few minutes later, the wind on the deck reached its maximum. In the dazzling searchlight, the deck flight commander raised his right hand, and the flag bearer in the distance raised the flag, and then suddenly pointed forward.Li Zhaoxun immediately let go of the brakes, and the double-wing, double-engine, two-seat SsangYong plane he was driving, then with the lift provided by the fierce deck wind, after sliding for a while, rushed into the sky.

"get up"

Now it was Fengmingshan's turn, and he pulled the joystick with all his strength, and then the fuselage lightened, and the biplane suddenly jumped out of the deck.

The Ssangyong aircraft piloted by Li Zhaoxun and Feng Mingshan are the so-called "pilot aircraft", which need to undertake the task of searching and leading their own fighters to the battlefield.At the same time, they are also command aircraft and communication aircraft. This two-seater aircraft has a spark telegraph that can send reports, and can keep in touch with the ships behind at any time, accept orders and issue them to other aircraft.

And now, these "pilot planes" have also turned on indicator lights of various colors - different colors represent different flight teams, and the planes belonging to each team will not fall behind as long as they fly with the corresponding lights.

Just when Li Zhaoxun and Fengmingshan were driving their own biplanes and circling in the sky, waiting for other planes to come up to join them, they could already see the sky reddened by the flames of war in the distance.

A fierce night battle at sea is in progress. Moreover, the destroyer formation of Dezhou Haizi under the command of Seiichiro Nobutomo is already at a disadvantage.

Although relying on the "Cat's Eye Warrior" and steam gas torpedoes, the Nanya formation launched a rather wonderful ambush.But the Guogong class is already an "old ship" after all. Although the ship is not old, but the current era happens to be a time when naval technology is advancing by leaps and bounds.It can even be said that any battleship, no matter how many advanced technologies are used in its design, will definitely be behind by the time it enters service!
As for the "Old Ship" of the Guogong-class armored destroyer, which is more than 10 years old, it can be said that it needs firepower but no firepower (if it is not accurate, it means no), it needs speed but no speed, and it needs protection but no protection. If it is not obtained Advanced ammunition (Da Ming's torpedoes and armor-piercing shells are stronger than other countries), even the ambush just now cannot be launched.

But after firing all 36 steam gas torpedoes (state-level torpedo launchers are difficult to load and have to enter the port for operation), 6 state-level torpedoes are no longer the opponents of 4 Pennsylvania-level.

Although their 210mm main guns are indeed powerful, the common problem of small boat cannons is that they are inaccurate and have a slow rate of fire.Moreover, the Guogong-level armor cannot resist the American 8-inch and 6-inch armor-piercing projectiles-if the advanced time-delay fuze used by these armor-piercing projectiles does not fail, a 6-inch shell that explodes can also make a Guogong The class can't eat and walk around.

Although the American Pennsylvania class does not have enough 8-inch main guns, they have a lot of 6-inch secondary guns, and they are very accurate!After a while, all six Guogong-class ships were injured, and they were not serious!

Nobutomo Nantani's ship, the Maya, was about to fail. It was hit by 5 rounds of 6-inch bombs, and 2 of them exploded. A large hole was blown in the bow and a fire was caused. The ammunition depot was filled with water, and as a result, the Maya's speed dropped to 10 knots, and the two main guns hadn't fired yet. Now it can only "butt against the enemy" and dodge left and right.Seeing that the whole ship was about to become a god, suddenly someone in the bridge yelled: "Plane, plane, our plane is here!"
