Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 338 The attack begins! !

Violet Sea.

The plane kept circling in the sky.

Chizhu commanded the carrier-based aircraft and focused all his attention on the sea.

They still found no trace of "Flying Fish". They were already close to the limit of supply distance. If they were to move forward, they would have to consider retaining the resources for their return trip during the battle.

"Hood and the others have arrived at the predetermined sea area." Lexindu said the latest situation.

"Didn't you find it?" Zhi Peng asked.

Lexington shook his head.

"It shouldn't be." Saratoga was also very confused. "According to the last location of 'Flying Fish' given by U47 and others, we should be close. Since Hood didn't find it..."

"Then it's most likely in the north?" Dafeng continued.

"Move the focus of reconnaissance to the north." Zhi Peng made a very decisive choice.

The reconnaissance planes spread out again.

Naval battles are often short-lived, but searching for the enemy is a long process, especially when both sides have no information about the other party. This kind of search is often a matter of luck. If you don't find it, you can only blame your own luck. Well, when luck is unlucky, even if the distance between the two sides is less than tens of nautical miles, at the edge of the line of sight, they will not find each other's existence.

Of course, this situation is slowly decreasing with the continuous upgrading of radar.

The aircraft carriers didn't have very good luck today, but it wasn't too bad in the end.

Five hours after setting sail, they finally found traces of the "Flying Fish" troops on the sea in the evening.

Saratoga's three-plane reconnaissance formation immediately followed. At the same time, the aircraft carriers immediately released all their carrier-based aircraft.

Some of them transformed into fighter jets and formed a powerful air defense network around themselves, while the rest roared and flew in the direction of the "Flying Fish" troops.

They all knew that it was almost evening and there were not many attacks left for the aircraft carrier.

The coordinates of the "Flying Fish" force were quickly transmitted to the approaching Royal Navy fleet from the south through the communication between ship girls. Hood immediately issued an order to advance at full speed, aiming directly at the "Flying Fish" force.

After flying for about half an hour, Lexington's carrier-based aircraft took the lead in discovering the special weapons of the "Flying Fish" team.

The bomber formation formed a three-plane dive and dived towards their respective targets. Saratoga's aircraft followed closely behind, followed by Zhipeng and Dafeng.

One minute later, a huge explosion came from the water.

Lexington dropped three near-misses around the Exocet squad.

Saratoga, who followed closely behind, achieved the first result of the aircraft carrier formation with a very precise strike. A mirage captain located in the middle of the "Flying Fish" force exploded, and the red flames illuminated it. The sea gradually became darker.

This sweet roar is the most wonderful reward given to the aircraft carrier for a whole day of pursuit.

Saratoga and Lexington did not indulge in it for too long. They quickly controlled the aircraft that had not yet dropped bombs to change its target and flew towards the other Mirage captains who had not yet been attacked.

Dafeng had good or bad luck today.

She followed the three aircraft carriers and started dive bombing. After selecting the target, she used the dive bomber unskilledly. Only when she saw the target clearly did she regretfully realize that it was not what she had imagined. The "flying fish" is the captain of the mirage, but an ordinary mirage, an ordinary "hairtail".

But now that it had swooped down, it was impossible for Dafeng to pull it back. The angry bombs directly tore the "hairtail" into pieces, achieving Dafeng's first sinking result since he came to this world.

Later, when Dafeng turned around and planned to continue attacking the "Flying Fish" system, he discovered that the sea area where Captain Mirage was located had turned into a sea of ​​fire. As one of the oldest aircraft carriers in the Japanese series, its combat capabilities were not as good as It should not be underestimated, and Lexington and Saratoga are the pioneers of American aircraft carrier aviation warfare. Their precise bombing strikes are a nightmare in the deep sea.Under the joint efforts of the three aircraft carriers, the "Flying Fish" force was defeated. The "Flying Fish" knew very well that they did not have the slightest ability to fight in the air, and sending their aircraft out to fight would only result in a loss of victory. Therefore, the leading "Warship Bird" was very decisive, and all the carrier-based aircraft of the "Flying Fish" unit swarmed up and headed towards The direction of the source of the attack flew over.

They want to attack the location of the Zhanpeng Fleet.

At the same time, the "Warship Birds" led the troops to constantly avoid the bombings of the aircraft carriers. Although the sudden attack caused many mirages to lose their combat capabilities, for a while, the "Flying Fish" still had certain combat capabilities. .

The "warship bird" pinned all its hopes on the sea soul that could hit the main body, so as to gain a chance to breathe for itself.

But the reality is hopeless.The aircraft carriers' carrier-based aircraft had already discovered this group of aircraft that came to attack them, but Chi Peng and others had no intention of paying attention to them. Their time was very tight and they had to complete the attack on the "Flying Fish" before dark. "Maximum damage to the troops.

The attack aircraft groups from both sides just passed each other in the air.

The aircraft carrier started a killing spree, but the "Flying Fish" fell into despair when it approached the aircraft carrier fleet.

Fighter planes, they saw the carrier-based aircraft circling around the aircraft carrier.

"Warship Bird" knew that he had no way to turn back, so he gritted his teeth and ordered his men to attack immediately.

The mirage's plane suddenly penetrated into the sky defended by fighter jets.

A one-sided massacre began again.

But this time, the "warship bird" had no idea of ​​saving its own planes. All the planes completely ignored the obstruction of fighter jets and swooped straight towards the position of the aircraft carrier.

The angle of the dive is very large, and there is almost no possibility of pulling back.

This is a suicidal attack. They must do this in order to seriously damage the aircraft carrier and gain a glimmer of life for themselves.Otherwise, the "Flying Fish" would have no choice but to wait to be surrounded and annihilated.

"Warship Bird" doesn't believe that since the opponent has already thought of pursuing, they will only send an aircraft carrier with a strictly limited combat time.

boom!
Finally, a Mirage aircraft broke through the siege of the fighter group and headed directly towards an aircraft carrier on the sea.

The plane fell into the sea with a huge explosion.

"Mom." Dafeng was startled, but the thick armor blocked her from the aftermath of the explosion. Except for Dafeng's hands shaking when she dive-bombed, she did not cause any substantial damage.

At the same time, a large number of mirage aircraft rushed out. They crashed desperately at the aircraft carrier, and the flames of the explosion immediately surrounded the aircraft carriers.

The fighter jets tried their best and shot down most of the planes into the sea. Only a few lucky guys touched the aircraft carrier. However, the aircraft carriers relied on their dexterous positioning to avoid such a rigid attack.

Of course, such an offensive still had a certain impact on the aircraft carriers' offensive. At least the "Flying Fish" felt that the accuracy of the attacks it received was not as terrifying as before.

But even so.

After nightfall, the aircraft carriers withdrew their carrier-based aircraft. The "Warship Bird" that was lucky enough to survive found out in despair when taking stock of its losses that [-]% of the "Flying Fish" brought out this time had been lost.

This is close to annihilation.

And their nightmare is far from over.

A cannon shot.

The Royal Navy is coming!
