Age of Rebirth

Chapter 830 Bloody Battle All the Way

The fleet still has more than a day's voyage before it will pass through the Korean Strait. Qiu Quan's worries have become a reality. The Japanese aircraft will rush over like a wasp.

***General Zhongxin of the Naval Air Force, commanding 36 fighter jets, swooped towards the fleet. Looking at the enemy planes circling over the fleet, he had no intention of coming to intercept them. Is this how naval aviation works?

Instead of conducting interception operations outside the alert perimeter of the fleet, they are like an old hen guarding its chicks, waiting to be beaten. The Soviets are not as powerful as in the legend. They look like a bunch of rookies, plus a few stupid commanders. It is because of such a passive tactic that I, CITIC, won the jackpot today.

Liu Cuigang, hovering at high altitude, watched twelve Japanese anti-submarine patrol planes pounce directly on the fleet, and another 36 "Zero" fighter jets pounced on the escort formation. He really couldn't guess the intention of the little devil's air commander , Using anti-submarine patrol aircraft to fight surface ships, have you never heard of it? [

"Captain Tang, please note that twelve Japanese anti-submarine patrol planes are about to arrive over the fleet. Please organize firepower to intercept them. 36 fighter jets have returned to the escort formation," Liu Cuigang briefly reported the situation, and at the same time proposed a combat plan .

The squadron led by Xiuyan Zhenzhao was the first to appear near the fleet. He had the same idea as Zhongxin Dazuo, and he used childish and ridiculous tactics for the escape fleet to deal with the air attack. A fighter jet, on the nose side, outflanks the left wing.

The eyes of all the Japanese pilots were fixed on the increasingly clear figure of the warship, and their bodies trembled slightly with excitement because of the upcoming battle. These rookie-like Soviet pilots were just right for the appetite of the big gun fighters in the air. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is the character and style of the Chinese people.

Liu Cuigang gave a simple order: "Two to one, end the battle within 15 minutes, clear the airspace for the next wave of escort formations, and attack!" More than 60 fighter jets swooped down from high altitude. Although the fighter is slightly inferior to the Japanese "Zero" fighter in terms of maneuverability, its acceleration, firepower and protection are definitely better than Japanese fighters.

The [-]mm caliber machine guns equipped by fighter jets can blow up a small zero bird in the air with just one shot, while the [-]mm caliber machine guns equipped by Japanese fighter jets may only be able to fight against rough skin and thick flesh. There are a few holes left in the body of the Su-style fighter. If you don't hit a dozen rounds, you can't shoot down the Su-type fighter.

The first person Liu Cuigang found was the CITIC Commander who rushed to the front. The unique painting on this guy's plane exposed his identity as the formation commander. Liu Cuigang's fighter plane was almost at a vertical angle. The fighter plane falling at high speed collided with the airflow, and the fuselage trembled slightly.

The CITIC fighter plane became more and more clear in the scope. Liu Cuigang pressed his thumb firmly on the launch button, and a chain of fire shot out from the nose, jumping and slamming towards the CITIC landline. A black puff of smoke, with The shattered metal fragments exploded in the air, and the commander of the Japanese Naval Air Force, Zhongxin Dazuo, was blown up by Liu Cuigang in the air with almost no reaction, and he didn't even have a chance to parachute.

The aviation fleet of the Independent Division surrounded the Japanese fighter group with a two-to-one approach, rushed up and fought fiercely, and flew up and down, almost biting meat. In the sky, a firework exploded from time to time. 10 minutes, only 10 minutes, 36 Japanese fighters The fighter jets were completely annihilated. Liu Cuigang escorted the fighter jet formation, and ended the air battle neatly with three injuries and one shot down.

The remaining twelve Japanese Navy anti-submarine patrol planes, taking advantage of the opportunity of fighter jets to fight, have already approached the fleet. Just as Liu Cuigang thought, these planes specially designed to deal with submarines really don't know how to deal with these behemoths on the water surface , circling the aircraft carrier and other ships, still haven't figured out what to do.

The silent ship suddenly became furious. The anti-aircraft machine guns on the warship spewed out streams of metal jets, weaving a dense fire net in the sky. The anti-aircraft firepower of the Soviet warships is not bragging. The quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns, The shot is a fan with a huge killing radius.

***The anti-submarine patrol plane of the Navy was immediately caught in the fire net, eight of them were blown up on the spot, and the remaining four hurriedly threw away the deep water bombs on the plane and fled. Not bad, there is an anti-submarine aircraft The patrol plane shot right on the crooked, and dropped a deep water bomb in the shape of a gasoline barrel, which was actually dropped on a battleship.

It may be that the Japanese pilots were in a panic and did not set the explosion depth, or did not activate the explosive device at all. This guy rolled around on the battleship deck for a while, and happened to be at Chu Tian's feet. Just as I was working hard, I felt that my heel was hit hard.

Looking back, what a fool, such a stupid, big, dark and thick guy, swaying with the sailing of the warship, Chutian has never seen such a deep water bomb, but he knew it was not a good thing based on his feeling. The Soviet sailors turned pale with fright, and immediately fell down in unison, shouting wildly, but they were all in Russian, how could Chutian understand them.

It was still the translator of the instigator group, and with a quiet voice, he reminded Chu Tian, ​​"Captain Chu, it's an explosion, lie down!" How much damage might be caused, he hardly thought about it, just like rolling a gasoline barrel, he sent this fearsome big guy into the sea in a few strokes.

There was a splash of water on the surface of the sea. For a long time, there was no movement. The Soviet sailors lying on the deck got up with lingering fear and looked at the calm Chutian like a monster. Their eyes were full of awe and admiration. A calm person, it was the first time they saw Chu Tian become a hero in their hearts.

Chu Tian didn't have time to look at the strange gazes of the Soviet sailors. He turned around and looked for the little devil's plane. There was no shadow of the plane in the sky. It was already smashed into pieces by the anti-aircraft machine guns on other warships. He went to the sea to meet the Dragon Lord , Chu Tian cursed angrily, and put down the anti-aircraft machine gun very unsatisfactorily.

The first battle that the fleet encountered ended unscathed. Liu Cuigang escorted the formation of fighter jets, and it was time to stay in the air. After seeing the shadow of the next wave of escort fighter jets, he drove the fighter jets, circled the fleet, and headed towards Qiu Quan on the deck of the aircraft carrier shook the wings a few times, and flew away with the formation in the fighter plane.

When passing by the escorting fleet, he saw Le Yiqin's fighter plane at a glance, "This guy, unwilling to be lonely, just flew back to refuel, and came here again. Why isn't he like this, flying continuously Two combat shifts," Liu Cuigang thought with a smile.

On the way back to Jinan Airport, he received a report from the Huanghai Shidao Radar Station transferred from the Jinan Airport Command Post: "Twenty to ten minutes ago, Japanese aircraft took off from the Korean Peninsula and the mainland of Taiwan in two large fleets. More than 10 aircraft, divided into two directions, north and south, came to attack our fleet together, and it is estimated that they will reach the sky above the fleet in four to 320 minutes, reminding the escort fighter formations of all waves to pay attention.”[

Liu Cuigang's heart tightened. He knew that Le Yiqin's echelon had only 110 four fighter jets. Facing more than 320 little devil's planes, it must be a tough battle. , with a sudden dash, the speed reached the highest, "Return to the airport as soon as possible. After refueling and replenishing medicine, I can still catch up with the battle. I can't let Yiqin fight alone, and I can't let the warship that the division commander has given high hopes suffer any losses."

This was his only thought at the moment. The other pilots behind saw the deputy commander's fighter and rushed forward in the blink of an eye. Although they didn't know what happened, they were unwilling to lag behind. Same, fly quickly in the direction of Jinan Airport.

On the way to the fleet, Le Yiqin received information from the command post of Jinan Airport. According to the time, his escort fighter formation could reach the sky above the fleet ahead of the Japanese fleet. Li filtered the battle plan again.

Immediately, he called the sea and air contact with the fleet: "Captain Tang, according to the report from the radar station, the Japanese aircraft took off from the north and the south. It is estimated that more than 320 aircraft will arrive at the fleet's warning range in 10 minutes. I will escort them The formation of fighter jets will arrive over the fleet in 10 minutes."

Tang Qiuquan, who received Le Yiqin's notification, immediately told the situation to Colonel Margotlovsky, the captain of the aircraft carrier in command of the fleet. The colonel's eyes flashed, and he muttered a word in Russian. The translator hurriedly told Qiuquan that what he said was "Fight resolutely", Qiu Quan was amused by him, because the pressure of the large Japanese fleet's attack was also relieved a lot. He told the captain, "We will fight side by side."

Not only Colonel Magotrovsky, but almost all the Soviet sailors were shocked by the air battle scene just now. Although the Chinese pilots have a numerical advantage, in terms of tactical arrangements, pilots' flying skills, The degree of bravery during the air battle made these Soviet soldiers feel incredible.

Especially those colleagues, the carrier-based aircraft pilots, were even more shocked. They asked themselves, if they fought against Chinese pilots, what is the chance of victory? Is their commander such a superb tactic?Do you have the brave fighting spirit and will of these Chinese pilots?

At the same time, their will to fight was also aroused. Several carrier-based aircraft commanders got together to discuss and asked Qiuquan to participate in the battle. Qiuquan looked at Magotovsky with a consulting look, The colonel pondered nervously for a while, then nodded affirmatively.

The deck of the aircraft carrier suddenly became busy, and one after another carrier-based aircraft rushed into the sky. Twenty minutes later, the Japanese navy combat fleet appeared in Qiuquan's telescopic lens in black.
