Chapter 357: The Japanese carrier-based aircraft died before they could achieve their goal

In an instant, more than 10 Japanese warships fell into chaos. The planes came too fast!

The Japanese air defense weapons were very simple and backward. When facing propeller fighters, their hit rate was less than 15%, not to mention the J- flying at medium altitude and high subsonic speed.

The two light aircraft carriers have a total of more than 70 carrier-based aircraft, of which only more than 20 took off, and the rest were either on the deck or queuing for the elevator in the hangar.

In the air, a J-15 pilot maneuvered the plane to complete several flips and instantly arrived above the Longxiang aircraft carrier.

"Little devils, have a taste of my 500kg bomb!"

Boo hoo hoo....

The J-15 pilots are the elite among the elite pilots of Xu's army. Due to insufficient training time, half of them are guard members.

Needless to say, the flying skills are great!

However, because the J-15 was flying too fast, the bomb fell dozens of meters away from the side of the aircraft carrier. The proximity fuse was activated, and the waves caused by the explosion did not cause any damage to the -ton aircraft carrier.

This is the disadvantage of going too fast, the hit rate of aerial bombs is too low.

But you can't slow down, otherwise you will easily get hit!

Otherwise, the world would not have invented dive bombers, which dive almost vertically from high altitudes to increase their hit rate.

"Alas, it really doesn't work. This is already the limit. It seems that the task of bombing aircraft carriers can only be left to anti-ship missiles and torpedoes!"

With a sigh, the pilot completed a sharp turn in the air and flew towards the Japanese fleet again.

He took off lightly from aircraft carrier No. 16, and his combat mission was mainly to destroy the enemy aircraft!

He just wanted to try whether he could destroy the aircraft carrier directly!

So he was the only J-15 that took off with a light load but carried two aerial bombs.

It’s a pity that it can’t happen as we wish!

"Attention all squadrons, the plan has changed. Most of the Japanese fighters did not take off, and directly used rockets to attack the planes on the deck!"

The power of a 57mm air-to-air rocket is average, and one is enough to destroy a fighter jet. After all, if one part of the fuselage is damaged, it will not be able to take off.

But when it comes to the deck of a warship, there is nothing we can do. At most, we can make a small dent of a few centimeters on it.

Originally the rockets' hit rate was not very good, but now it is good. With God's blessing, they arrived before the Japanese carrier-based aircraft took off.

It's much easier to hit the fixed targets on the deck!

After receiving the order, the remaining 13 J-15s changed their plans and used PL-8 missiles to quickly eliminate more than 20 Zero carrier-based aircraft in the air, and then formed a formation to rush towards the two Japanese aircraft carriers.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, rockets rushed towards the deck of the aircraft carrier in twos and threes, with a hit rate of over 80%, after all, there is also the fire control radar.

5 minute later.

All the carrier-based aircraft of the two Japanese aircraft carriers caught fire, the deck was in chaos, and the carrier-based aircraft in the hangar were blocked and could not get up!

"Mission accomplished. Now it's up to the heavy-duty aircraft. Follow me, heading for Ceylon!"

Once the mission was completed, the Japanese aircraft carrier temporarily lost its combat effectiveness. It would take several hours to restore the take-off deck.

As for the Japanese warships, only one was slightly damaged, and the rest were intact.

14 lightly loaded J-15s started afterburner flight and headed southwest at supersonic speed.

Their second mission was to intercept the Japanese fighter planes on Ceylon Island and clear the air obstacles for the No. 16 aircraft carrier fleet behind!

Just when Kondo Nobutake was lamenting the aircraft carrier, he became confused again.

"What kind of plane is this? Why is it flying so fast that I can't see it clearly? This doesn't match the previous intelligence. No wonder the reconnaissance planes we sent out before disappeared. At this speed, who can escape?"

"That's not right. I see they still have a lot of ammunition. Why don't they continue to attack, but go southwest?"

"Oh no! Their next target is the fighter planes supporting Ceylon!"

Kondo Nobutake was immediately shocked and had no time to care about the aircraft carrier. He shouted to the communicator beside him: "Quick, send a telegram to the Ceylon garrison, and all fighter planes stop taking off!"

......

Unfortunately, he was so panicked that he forgot his previous deployment.

In order to cooperate with the operations of the aircraft carrier-based aircraft, more than 100 fighter jets from Ceylon Island had taken off half an hour ago, and their current position was exactly between Ceylon Island and the aircraft carrier fleet.

Moreover, because the radio signal on the Zero carrier-based aircraft was so poor, the Navy not only removed the radio in order to reduce the weight of the Zero, but also replaced the protective steel plates on the seats with wood to improve the climbing ability.

Therefore, the more than 100 Zero fighters that took off from Ceylon had no way to contact each other.

The J-15 is equipped with a pulse Doppler radar with an air detection range of 350 kilometers.

So rather than saying that these 14 J-15s were flying towards Ceylon, it would be better to say that they were heading towards the group of more than 100 Zero fighters, because they all appeared on the radar screen, and even their number was clearly displayed.

就在14架轻载歼15离开后的10分钟,因为满载起飞而降低了飞行速度,同时为轻载歼15腾出作战时间的剩余6架歼15抵达了鬼子舰队20千米外。

This is also the new type of long-wingman tactic developed by Bai Shiyi and others.

In theory, the wingman needs to fly alongside the lead aircraft, assisting the latter in performing combat missions and ensuring the latter's flank safety, etc.

But the J-15 formation is different. The wingman knocks on the door in front and eliminates all air threats. The leader only needs to drop bombs or missiles safely.

This time, the naval battle, based on semi-training, also emphasized a quick battle and a quick decision, leaving no one alive as much as possible, so as to hide the strength of the navy.

As a result, the six heavily loaded J-6s locked onto their respective targets from a distance.

Coincidentally, the Japanese had two aircraft carriers, Longxiang and Taiying, with full load displacements of 1.2 tons and 1.7 tons respectively.

The fleet also includes the 7th Squadron, which has four 4-ton Mogami-class heavy cruisers: Mogami, Mikuma, Suzuya, and Kumano.

There are 6 large ships in total, exactly 6 J-15s, one for each!

Then, six Eagle Strike-6 anti-ship missiles were launched, each heading towards its own target.

Since the launch distance was only about 20 kilometers, the missile captured the target after flying a short distance and then started a dive.

With a flying speed of 1100 kilometers per hour, a distance of 20 kilometers can be reached in just one minute.

The Japanese, who had not yet recovered from the first wave of attacks, were once again bombarded by inter-dimensional missiles.

These are not battleships, they do not have such thick armor and cannot offset some of the power of missile explosions.

All six missiles hit the target, and 6 kilograms of shaped charge high explosive exploded inside the ship, almost tearing the ship in two.

At the same time, the huge explosion caused a huge fire, and countless fragments penetrated various compartments, detonating the ammunition depot inside the ship.

The sound of explosions continued. You should know that the ammunition and fuel carried by a light aircraft carrier weighed up to 300 tons.

The power of the series of explosions caused by this can be imagined!

The mission of heavy-loaded J-15 has been completed. Their target is the big ones, and those below tons will not be considered.

But they did not turn around and return. Instead, they hovered high in the sky in the distance, making the Japanese think they had left.
