Vol 3 Chapter 289: Night raid

At 4 pm on December 6, 1942, somewhere deep in the Pacific Ocean, the Chinese special mixed fleet Dachu 舴 empty carrier.
Major General Changjiang Ming, the aircraft carrier Dachu, sat at the table, staring intently at the radar data of the US Pacific Fleet Remaining Ship Fleet just returned by the Seahawk reconnaissance aircraft, and quickly calculated it, while Ge Cunsheng next to it did in front of the sea chart Calculation. At about the same time, the two men calculated the position of the US fleet.
"21 ° 21 north latitude, 157 ° 59 west longitude, about 220 nautical miles east of Pearl Harbor."
Ge Cunsheng patted Jiang Ming's shoulder in admiration, and said, "Your boy, after being the captain. These base bars still haven't fallen. What do you think of the next night attack plan?"
"It's the commander." In the previous night attack plan. Jiang Ming is also one of the contributors. Naturally, he is extremely familiar. "According to the plan, when the sea eagle reconnaissance aircraft discovered the remaining Pacific fleet of the US military. The night attack plan will be fully launched. It will take over from the sea eagles 01 and 02. Subsequent seahawks have taken off and continue to monitor the movement of the US fleet.
For this night attack, Dachu had two radar early warning aircraft and 13 modified aircraft equipped with active infrared night vision. There are also two radar early warning aircraft on the Dayan carrier, and 12 aircraft equipped with active infrared night vision. There are also six Seahawk reconnaissance aircraft with maritime positioning and search capabilities.
That is to say, the number of aircraft we participate in the air search is only about 6-8, and there are 25 infrared night combat aircraft with night positioning capability.
According to previous Ge Ge, drills, this night raid was based on maritime search and positioning, and the US warship group was locked by radar early warning aircraft. Then, 25 aircraft equipped with active infrared night vision systems were the main force for night raids.
In the plan, in order to enhance the effect of night strikes, in addition to the 25 fighters with active offensive capabilities, there will be 35 auxiliary fighters with night take-off and preliminary combat capabilities. They will carry out attacks based on the fire generated by the fleet being hit. .
Judging from previous exercises, as long as the mission fleet does not deviate greatly, I think the problem will not be too big. After all, the American fleet ’s night warfare is very poor except for its weak air defense response. Their fleet is basically Does not have the ability to fight at night. but. In order to ensure that in case, I suggest increasing the original radar jammer to two to ensure the safety of the fleet. "
Ge Cunsheng nodded before the two night sneak attack ship group exercises. He also personally participated. With the help of the more than 20 sets of naval active infrared night vision equipment newly distributed by the navy, he searched and located enemy ships through mid-range and long-range radar search. Group, and then the precise infrared positioning over the ship group, often under the condition that the enemy has not responded, they have been mercilessly hit from the night.
Although Americans are powerful in science and technology, they are in many ways. It has not kept pace with the war. For example, according to the information, the US military has not done less to improve the night combat capability and radar search capability, and the corresponding equipment has basically been or will be successfully researched. However, in addition to the radar and air defense searchlights, the Pacific Fleet is not equipped with truly effective night combat equipment.
"Fleet continue to move forward for 100 nautical miles to start the plan." Ge Cunsheng quickly ordered, this is a battle that was only prepared. Although it is only a supplementary battle plan for the US aircraft carrier fleet that is not within Pearl Harbor, but this time, Canary , One of the important contents of the plan. In the plan, a large-scale night attack on Pearl Harbor is inevitable even if all the US fleets are in Pearl Harbor.
US forces, the remaining fleet of the Pacific Fleet.
"General, this is the latest battle report."
The staff handed to General Nimitz the latest report on air combat over Oahu.
Looking at some shocking numbers on this statistical report, although Nimitz has long been given a warning report of heavy air combat losses, but actually saw the loss comparison. Still could not help but be frightened.
"90 to 160 losses."
According to the report, every two US carrier-borne aircraft lost can be exchanged for a Japanese type zero loss. Although the Japanese bomber and attack aircraft losses are counted, this number is almost one to one, but the huge difference in the performance of the fighter aircraft allows Nimitz recognized that the replacement of naval carrier-based aircraft was imminent.
He is very clear that compared to Japan ’s own aircraft carrier, the six aircraft carriers under his command can be said not to be behind, but the carrier-based aircraft above.
Except for the first air battle, the US military maintained a large advantage. In the second and subsequent sporadic air battles, the US military was completely suppressed by the Japanese. The elites of the suffocated U.S. Navy Air Force were completely unaccustomed to fighting such high-speed, highly mobile zero-type operations.
"Although this new carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese army was discovered by the intelligence department very early, it still shocked us with its excellent performance. The climb rate is high, the turning radius is small. The speed is fast. The long-distance characteristics. It almost completely suppresses our current There are several types of carrier-based aircraft. "The staffer said in pain.
Nimitz waved his hand. "The war will continue. Until the end of the Oahu war, new aircraft will not come. What the guys in the aviation team should do is use existing aircraft to find out how to fight this new aircraft. Method. It must have disadvantages. "
Looking at the setting sun, Nimitz frowned tightly, as if there was a very bad hunch surrounding him.
This feeling of anxiety comes from the fear of Japan's powerful combined fleet, and also from the fear that Japan will launch another raid on the surviving fleet.
"This time. They won't have the same robust defense and counterattack capabilities as the air strikes on Oahu."
After thinking for a while, Nimitz waved this uneasiness from his mind. After all, the night is coming, and he should consider the battle tomorrow.
The fleet of six aircraft carriers and the surviving fleet of more than twenty ships are not vulnerable, but have powerful combat capabilities. Even if he had a large-scale raid on [Day], he was confident to defend it.
Night was approaching, and Nimitz closed the combat papers. Prepare to enjoy a dinner since the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident, because later tomorrow tomorrow, two old aircraft carriers will form the support fleet. Although not huge enough, at that time, the mixture of them and the surviving fleet will completely drive away the day.
Nimitz doesn't think he can attack in turn and defeat the Japanese Fleet "What he needs to do. It is here to insist" to let the American people see. After the war was declared, the government did its best to fight back.
Due to jet lag, when Zhang Shusheng, the special attack fleet of the China Special Forces Fleet, set off in the evening, Zhang Shusheng had just had lunch.
Because of the rotation of the Seahawks, Songzhou and Cai Gongcheng, who had just been revised, once again drove the Seahawks with the team.
The Canary plan to upgrade the targeted equipment in the night within half a year is the next few years. A large exercise of the Navy's new equipment.
The radar early warning aircraft has a more accurate radar and a longer search range. The night detection and combat capabilities of infrared night combat aircraft. Both will be a microcosm of sea, air and night battles in the next few years.
However, the difficulty of this sneak attack is still very large. After all, it was night combat. In the previous two exercises, Zhang Shusheng found that even with the help of new equipment, the actual difficulty of this night battle was still very large. And it is absolutely necessary. Once the enemy has lost a great battle, summarized the experience and lessons, and distributed the corresponding equipment, then. The night battles in the future will tend to be small-scale, and the night offensive and defensive battles have already taken place. In the original history, at the end of World War II, Germans and Americans collided at night, although not as frequently as during the day. But the results and losses of both sides are also huge.
December 6. At 8 pm, after the U.S. government declared war, the U.S. Pacific Remaining Fleet serving as the counterattack of Oahu, US officers and soldiers were ending a busy day of work, and the last plane returned from Oahu. The familiar US troops greeted each other. Although the shadow of the Pearl Harbor incident shrouded everyone's heart. But optimistic and cheerful Americans always think. As long as you are alive, as long as the American government has not fallen. Well, punishing the enemy is only a matter of time.
"Will, when do you think we can reach Japan?", The independent carrier, is one of the largest carriers in the US Pacific Fleet's surviving fleet, and it not only deployed some of the latest carrier-based aircraft. He also has a powerful radar air defense alert ability. He is one of three ships with radar warning capabilities among the more than 20 ships remaining.
With the development of World War II, the importance of air defense early warning has been increasingly valued, and the US military has also deployed practical radars.
In the radar room of the independent aircraft carrier, two radar soldiers are on duty. Their sight only occasionally falls on the radar oscilloscope. After all, since their service, at night, anomalies can be found on the radar oscilloscope only when the occasional night test aircraft takes off a few times.
"I don't know, maybe 1944. We should probably reach Tokyo." Will opened the radio that he had with him, and the radio was playing the fleet radio.
"... President Roosevelt announced in Congress and formally declared the state of war to the evil Japanese government and the Axis representatives ...
This is not the latest news, but the radio station is repeating it.
"The great America will definitely defeat Hitler and the Emperor. You say yes, Raun ... Will patted Raun next to him.
"Of course, we have never failed except Pearl Harbor. However, this is their shameful attack ...
,"of course……".
The two passed the time by discussing and broadcasting until "Will accidentally looked at the oscilloscope and suddenly found an abnormality. The signal of the radar oscilloscope also began to jump abnormally.
"Damn, there's something wrong with this machine ...
Will also stepped in front of the oscilloscope and saw snow on the radar oscilloscope, and the beating lights kept the two radar soldiers extremely troublesome.
"Raun, didn't you just move the machine just now? ...
"Damn, I've been sitting here with you without moving even an inch. There's something wrong with this machine, let someone repair it ..." Raun complained.
"Well, leave the problem to those engineers ... Will said helplessly.
A few minutes later, Nimitz received the first anomaly report, EbookFREE.me, and there was a problem with the independent radar. . .
"Let the engineers hurry up and fix it before dawn." They must return to normal. . . Nimitz ordered without hesitation.
However, just a minute later, another radar anomaly report was before him.
"General, Tennessee ...".
When the staffer shockedly reported the third radar anomaly report, Nimitz was shocked to realize that a huge crisis was coming.
"" Sound the air defense alert and prepare for battle ...
Nimitz issued a timely order. However, at this time, an independent aircraft carrier light search soldier had discovered anomalies. ", On the port side, the enemy aircraft was found ...
This sailor. Hissing and roaring exhausted, tearing the night sky "" enemy attack ... .
