Vol 3 Chapter 290: Sunk Carrier Group

Washington, America. []
It is almost night, and a number of American military and political figures are listed in a meeting room of the White House. This is the third emergency meeting since the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident.
The first meeting was due to a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. The second meeting was due to the devastating bombing of Oahu and the Pacific Fleet suffered a severe setback.
The third meeting was to discuss how to counter provocations from the Japanese.
Since the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident, the ruling party Democrats have launched emergency public relations, and the heart and soul of President Roosevelt has been to save the United States. The slogan of the Democrats is "he will lead the United States to defeat Hitler and the Emperor." Questions from various circles in the United States, including the media, that "ships cannot replace the captain halfway in case of rapids"
Throughout the day, President Roosevelt was sitting in a wheelchair and didn't even have time to enjoy a White House lunch. He had a lunch with bread. In this short but thrilling day, he was in a wheelchair and went to Congress to give a speech. He made a war statement in the face of the academia, and he urgently summoned the leaders of the four countries of the British, Soviet and Chinese ...
For a brief day, Roosevelt did a lot of things for this war, but when Moses arrived, the dignitaries led by him still returned to the conference room and seriously discussed how to fight back.
"Gentlemen, I still think that the revenge against the Japanese can only depend on our own strength. The worrying thing is that our B25 bomber group tried to take off from the West Coast, searching for a possible Japanese fleet, but nothing was gained. However, General Nimitz brought us good news. His brave battle in Hawaii ushered us in a great effort to shoot down more than 180 Japanese aircraft.
In light of General Nimitz's tremendous contribution to the freedom of the United States of America, I have decided to grant him the Medal of Honor, the highest honor. "
In the evening, when Nimitz sent the final statistical results back home, Washington executives cheered for a number of large newspapers to urgently issue an evening newspaper supplement.
At this most difficult time, no one cares how much damage Pearl Harbor suffered, no one cares how many aircraft carriers or battleships were sunk, and no one screamed and shouted, "Where are our carriers and fleets?" To pay attention to the cost of shooting down these opportunities, as politicians and ordinary American citizens, what they care about is that at this most difficult time, the government and the army let the people see victory, even if it is a small victory. Freedom and the United States ushered in victory anyway.
More than 180 various Japanese fighter jets were shot down. This record is obviously not small. If you do not consider Pearl Harbor, which was blown up into ruins, and more than one bladed Pacific Fleet Aircraft carrier aircraft that were shot down in subsequent air combat, then it It was indeed a big victory.
"Mr. President, your decision is correct. General Nimitz deserves the highest honor, because he saved the downturn at the most difficult moment."
The Vice President of the United States, Henry Wallace, expressed absolute support for his old partner's decision. Other military and political leaders nodded for a while.
"Mr. Minister, where is our support fleet at the moment?" Roosevelt nodded with satisfaction and turned to Navy Secretary Admiral Knox. The old Navy Secretary became very poor because of the Pearl Harbor incident. Hearing the President asked In that case, he said slightly, "Mr. President, our support fleet needs to arrive at Hawaii at the earliest the day after tomorrow, as well as Kadaumari."
Hearing this time, everyone in the conference room couldn't help frowning slightly. Perhaps the Japanese fleet had returned the day after tomorrow morning.
Roosevelt: "We have no time. We must find a way to send enough support. The Japanese were still near Hawaii a month ago, which is the best time for revenge. Haven't our B29 strategic bombers been successfully developed?"
"But Mr. President, we currently have only three Japanese-four bombers, two of which are test aircraft." Huffman, a newly-established U.S. Department of Defense equipment director, expressed his sense of weakness very politely.
"What about the B17 or the B24?" Roosevelt asked with some doubt. In his impression, the sun bomber should be the best aircraft for his ideal mission.
"The J-17 bomber has a short range. If we want to perform Hawaiian missions, we can only use the B24 bomber. If the bomb load is reduced, they will fly to Hawaii and fly back after completing the mission. If it is a B25 bomber, Or B17, after flying to Hawaii, they can only land or drop into the water. "
Huffman said with some anxiety. In fact, even he was not sure whether the four liberator bombers could achieve better combat results. "Mr. President, if four bombers are used to search the Japanese fleet, it is a feasible method. However, if the Japanese fleet is to be bombed, the effect may not be very good. You must know that their high-altitude bombing ability and the probability of hitting a moving warship are insufficient 10%, and if lowered, they will be slaughtered by the huge air defense fire consisting of dozens of Japanese ships. "
Roosevelt frowned slightly, nodded, and whispered a few words to discuss with his staff, and then asked the Secretary of the Navy Knox, General Marshall, and then finally decided, "Gentlemen, I hope you Understand that the current situation is very tense, and if we can win a more inspiring victory in the direction of Hawaii, we will have more time to prepare for this war.
All our B24 bombers in the west were deployed to cooperate with General Nimitz to pinch and bomb the Japanese fleet. "
"Yes, Mr. President." Everyone agreed again.
Roosevelt nodded with satisfaction. "Gentlemen, as long as we do our best, whether it is German or Japanese, it is only a temporary difficulty. We have already ordered to enter wartime production, and we will soon have a second Three Pacific fleets, and hundreds of aircraft and tanks. I hope you understand that even if we pay for some aircraft, we should strive for more victory, which is a must.
Victory must belong to the United States. "
From Roosevelt's point of view, the actual combat effect of the bomber bomber may not be too ideal, but its cooperation with Nimitz's fleet will definitely bring some damage to the Japanese.
However, before the meeting opened, a White House deputy director of intelligence smashed into the door of the conference room, panicked and walked to Roosevelt, passing him the information he had just received.
... ""
When Roosevelt was mentally prepared to receive this information, he was still stunned there, with some miserable expressions, and he did not even notice that the information paper fell to the ground. []
The Vice President Wallace picked up the information paper and looked at it. Then his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Our Pacific Fleet is suffering a fierce night attack from the enemy ..."
Many of the key members of the military and political affairs of the United States in the conference room are all ashamed. The bustling combat meeting just now has become empty.
Although it was already in the palm of his hand, Zhang Shusheng felt that his whole body was boiling with blood. In the concave image not far away, the slightly pale white night vision image was the entire US Pacific Remaining Fleet, scattered on a few kilometers of the sea, with six aircraft carriers Many of the ships headed by knives still look huge under the night vision monitoring of the compound eye battlefield monitoring system.
The first dive was the HHF-2 Thunderbird dive bomber. When the aircraft was finalized, Zhang Shusheng also participated in the design of a key modification part of it. This sea-based dive bomber converted from a bomb-type bomber is a multi-purpose bomber. In wartime, as a sea-based dive type, it can perform dives at near-vertical angles, and launch torpedoes at low levels.
Although it is different from the nearly four-degree vertical bombing of the Stuka dive bomber in active service by the German army, it is by no means a gap, but a difference.
According to operational purposes, the People's Army, the navy, and the air force do not very much need a model similar to the J-87 Stuka dive bomber. Similar to Stuka ’s aircraft, the requirements for pilots are too high. Today ’s anti-aircraft firepower is getting stronger and stronger, at the cost of increasing aircraft hit rates and pilot mortality rates, to improve the efficiency of single-bombing bombers, more and more are not being Taken by the People's Army's combat philosophy. After the mid- to high-altitude horizontal bombing has made great progress, dive bombers have gradually become a battlefield auxiliary aircraft, and they are more used for carrier-based dive attacks and land battlefield dive attack tank groups under the premise of controlling sufficient airpower. Fire suppression and so on.
According to Zhang Shusheng's ideas, the major models of the Republic in the middle and late stages of World War II have been successfully developed or will soon be developed. For example, bombers, medium-range bombers represented by land-based u3 Jinwu bombers, and Yinyinyishan type mountain transport aircraft were used as prototypes, and Ren-type Raytheon heavy bombers were modified.
With regard to the technical accumulation of the T-32, in 1940, the People's Army Air Force was finally equipped with the first leg-range heavy bomber. Just a few days ago, an application report for the test flight of the new bomber under the ground-based strategic bomber was issued. At his desk, as soon as the Pearl Harbor incident was over, he was going to inspect the final test flight of such a long-range heavy strategic bomber. In his conception, the T-35 Rao long-range heavy bomber's war positioning is similar to that of the American fourth-day super air fortress bomber, and the Rengou strategic bomber will be used by the People's Army to suppress any enemy in World War II in the next few years. The ultimate withdrawal of the copper strategic bomber.
Because there are sea eagles monitoring the US fleet at a height of 10,000 meters, the flight altitude is far beyond the upper limit of the U.S. radar's side detection height, not even the latest radars on the three US aircraft carriers can detect it, let alone those battleships or Old day radar on cruiser.
Guided by the Seahawk's frontline reconnaissance aircraft, the night raid fleet of the Chinese special task force arrived over the battlefield ten minutes ago. The vanguard of the fleet, two D-3 electronic jamming aircraft modified by H-3 bombers, carrying the latest active electronic jamming equipment. Beyond the radar detection limit of the U.S. military, they began to open the jamming equipment on the electric fighter aircraft. The radar on the aircraft carrier turned into a snowflake.
"Thunderbirds are dispatched, ready to drop incendiary bombs, and indicate the target for the fleet."
Although there are many night combat aircraft in this wave of night attack aircraft equipped with active infrared night vision devices, the commander of the aircraft group, Wendeng former colonel, still issued the most guarantee order to order the dive bombers to throw incendiary bombs and ignite the battleships. The difficulty is reduced to a minimum, and the results are maximized.
"understand."
With the change of the picture, because the Fuyan battlefield monitoring system was connected to the front-line radio command channel, Zhang Shusheng was able to hear the voice of Wen Deng's order. With his order, the six were equipped with four to six 250 males each. The F Shiba Thunderbird dive bomber of the first-grade napalm incendiary bomber started to lower its altitude, and the pilot began to approach and approach based on the behemoth in the infrared sight.
虽然 Although the HHF-2 bomber dive bomber is not as powerful as the Stuka bomber, the sound of the dive is also not small. With their dive, some sailors of the US fleet did find abnormalities, but until the searchlight accidentally searched It wasn't until a flashing plane that they roared in horror.
"Enemy attack ... enemy attack ..."
Some American sailors who had no time to escape, subconsciously lay on the deck at the moment when the plane rushed through the night above their heads. On the Independence, at least as they did on the deck to prepare the carrier-based aircraft overnight, so that they could be used tomorrow. , Lying prone on the deck reflectively.
This sound is familiar to them, and every time those dive bombers land, the sound is similar.
"Snapped……"
A few beeps, just as the US officers and soldiers wondered why there was no shocking explosion, in the blink of an eye, the incendiary bomb that was thrown on the armor was exploded.
"Rescue ... Rescue ..."
The sky-high fire swallowed up the deck in an instant. Napalm bombs were just as useful when used on warships, even if there were no sailors or airplanes and all the combustible objects on the deck surface, they were also stubbornly burning on the deck. .
Three aircraft carriers and three battleships were ignited one after another. There were sky-high fires everywhere on the deck, and there were bellowing bellows in the fire.
"what……"
Finally, the American soldier couldn't help the pain of heartbreaking, and jumped into the sea with the fire.
In the blink of an eye, there was a peaceful group of beautiful ships just now, with six more targets burning with a blazing fire, and the warships scattered a few kilometers near the sea were clearly visible.
"The night fighter fleet started to bomb."
The former colonel of Wendeng steadily gave orders in accordance with the plan.
According to Ji Ge, the target was ignited by a dive bomber at first, and then a Wanye aircraft loaded with active infrared equipment performed a dive bomber and horizontal bombing at a hollow altitude. Because when more and more warships are hit, the fire caused by the explosion, smoke and so on will interfere with the infrared equipment to varying degrees. In order to maximize the results of the battle, the night warfare group must choose the best ships for the first bombing.
The other auxiliary bomber fighters quietly circled at high altitudes, waiting for the moment when they were up. From the perspective of Zhang Shusheng, in the excellent night vision effect of the compound eye system, he can clearly see a dive bomber flying over a large US aircraft carrier, and he can even see its English port number clearly.
Not far from this HHF-3 Thunderbird dive bomber is another Thunderbird, but it performs a horizontal torpedo attack mission.
"The first grand prize, the Sun Mountain."
With the close-up of the camera lens, Zhang Shusheng was able to clearly see that the Thunderbird dive bomber broke through the newly-defended line of the Japanese Jinshan, consisting of only two anti-aircraft guns and machine guns firing, and dropped one. A huge blockbuster aviation bomb that is bigger than the public one, and another aviation bomb that is bigger than the public class. Although the Thunderbird was able to achieve a pure bomb load, in order to mount a secondary fuel tank, it had to reduce the bomb load.
However, these two big guys, when they fell, got under the deck of the San Francisco, lying in the US hangar.
boom!
boom!
There were two huge explosions near the front and rear feet. Due to the reason that the impact point was slightly to the left, the huge explosive power pushed the Jinshan today to a few meters to the right, setting off a wave of sky on the water. In the sky, the deck steel, the wreckage of the plane, and the body of the American soldier were blown up.
At the same time that the HHF-3 Thunderbird just pulled up, the Thunderbird behind it that carried out the torpedo launch mission finally entered a range of one kilometer.
"3, 2! Launch."
The weapon operator behind the pilot's cockpit pressed the weapon launch button calmly and steadily. A Lan-3 fisherman weighing 1200 males and a large torpedo crashed into the sea.
A moment later, the giant gas-ray that fell into the sea started to start, rushing towards the huge aircraft carrier Rijinshan less than one kilometer away.
"Fish maw ..."
Although it was at night, there were just two searchlights looking at the big guy. However, in a short distance, the Sun Mountain, which had just suffered a huge explosion, was completely absent from the emergency evasion during the day.
So, the next moment, the big four-eyed guy hit near the waterline of the Sun Mountain.
concubine! !! !!
After a huge explosion, a large mouth of ten meters was ripped near the waterline of the Rijinshan. On weekdays, the powerful Rijinshan can shoot down dive bombers, destroy torpedoes, and even try emergency evasion, but at night, Rijinshan is just a naked sleeping girl.
Standing on the paddling bridge of the Independence, Nimitz saw the Hit Sun Mountain just before being dragged away by soldiers.
He had just been promoted to the general and could not accept such a huge change. Ten minutes ago, the big guy closest to Independence, as the second largest guy among the six aircraft carriers, was a 30,000-ton large-scale aircraft carrier. But now, in the most embarrassing night, the plane that was painted with the sun flag and could not even see the fuselage clearly exploded with three bombs and torpedoes into a living coffin that was about to sink.
In the large mouth of about ten meters near the waterline, a huge amount of seawater is pouring into the cabin door, and the internal sealed cabin door has also lost its function. The interior of the cabin, which is at least more than tens of meters, has been blown up. Drive it down. Of course, there are ongoing breaks under the deck. Two heavy bombs hit directly, especially the one-to-one giant bomb. Even if there is no second hit of the torpedo, it will send the Rijinshan into the sea ten hours later. The hit of the torpedo will only The sinking time accelerated to within thirty minutes.
The Sun Jinshan, which has been tilted, has inevitably faced sinking.
Nimitz knew that the Sun King Mountain closest to the Independence had been hit, would the Independence be far away? As one of the two largest US carriers in active service, the Independence has a full displacement of 40,000 tons, and its advanced design also makes it more resistant to shocks than the Japanese Jinshan. However, in the face of "Japanese, a huge bomb with amazing power, There is also the cover of the night, and he does not think that the Independence will be spared.
Even if more and more warships are already engaged in air defense operations, even if the sky is beginning to be filled with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gun ammunition, he still does not think it will be optimistic.
Sure enough, at the next moment, as many as four dive bombers rushed towards the Independence.
"D
After seeing two F Shiba Thunderbird dive bombers and two torpedo attack bombers, at the cost of one serious injury and one minor injury, they once again penetrated the hastily and not powerful air defense fire nets, respectively four When the big guy smashed into the Independence, the nearly perfect night battle throwing process made Zhang Shusheng stand up with joy and shouted, as if watching a game in the past.
Just this time, it was more exciting.
The World Cup is held once every four years, with scores of hundreds or hundreds, while the Independence requires four years to complete. A standard hit can bring a devastating disaster to this four-year-old big guy.
Watching the blazing, the entire ship was blown up, the Independence, the two huge mouths near the waterline, Zhang Shusheng knew that the Independence would be erased from the US Navy's list at the latest one hour.
Even if Americans are richer, shipbuilding is faster, and war production capacity is stronger, a "New Independence" will appear at best in the future. The Independence, one of the strongest naval forces in the United States, will fall tonight.
After the Sun Mountain and Independence were hit hard, the Tennessee and Essex aircraft carriers became targets again, 10,000 night combat aircraft, braved the US Army ’s sparse, unfocused anti-aircraft artillery fire, and aimed at active infrared night vision With the help of Yiyi, the bomb was easily dropped on two aircraft carriers.
However, I have to say that two battleships and an aircraft carrier escaped the first calamity and attacked a torpedo of the battleship Indians, which was blocked by a destroyer next to it, and the destroyer was blown into two sections on the spot. It sank to the sea floor in less than three minutes. The bomber dropped the bomber, which coincidentally was blown out by the main armor of the battleship's turret. A huge explosion swept the deck, but did not cause fatal injuries to the battleship.
The two aircraft carriers that survived were bombed directly into the water after being blown off half a deck and half a ship ...
After the dive bomber and the HHF-2 bird bomber responsible for launching the torpedoes completed their missions, the remaining night combat aircraft began horizontal bombardment after all the inventory was launched.
"Hmm! ... Boom," ... "
Uninterrupted bombs were thrown from bombers. The big guys of 250 to 500 meters class, although the hit rate is not as high as the dive bomber, but they have gained greater power in the face of the U.S. intensive air defense firepower. Safety.
When the Americans, who had completely disrupted their positions, focused their air defenses on low altitudes and the sea, a large number of bombs had fallen in the sky.
The violent air raid alarm sounded the firepower of anti-aircraft searchlights, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns.
The Americans were equally well-trained. Under such bombing, the fleet began to maneuver at high speed. After the devastating attack of the first four aircraft carriers, the US military fleet broke out before struggling.
"Hope you can leave some ..."
Nimitz stayed in the cabin, and from the porthole he could see the huge fire light outside and the non-stop explosions. He could judge that the number of enemy aircraft was not particularly large, but he obtained great sneak attack convenience in the night sky. In particular, the first wave of surprise attacks caught almost four aircraft carriers without a fight.
He realized that this was a powerful means of night attack for the enemy, and the first time he thought about the development of an active infrared night vision device he had participated in while in China.
"If the Pacific Fleet is equipped earlier, perhaps this devastating night will not come. The future of the Pacific Fleet and the future of reconstruction will require more advanced equipment."
In meditation, an lieutenant came to tell him that the escape boat was ready, and once the Independence showed a tendency to sink, they would send the admiral as soon as possible.
"Wait a minute, I'll look at them myself, to the end ..."
Nimitz didn't know how many more warships would be hit and sunk, but he wanted to watch, as the highest general of the United States Navy who witnessed the worst defeat, he wanted to go through every detail of this defeat and fight for the war. Do a summary afterwards.
He knew that although the enemy ’s weapons and equipment were advanced, they would not be much higher than their own. The key to the problem was that these leaders were just right to suppress their own.
As he thought, next, bombs dropped from the sky, although the hit rate was greatly reduced, but in addition to the sky-defense firepower composed of the surviving dozens of ships, from time to time, one or two warships were hit.
"It should be the final withdrawal of Jane." In the image, although the entire American fleet was not hit by a fire, several big guys did not run away. The remaining two aircraft carriers and four battleships All are damaged to varying degrees.
However, according to the plan, the largest withdrawal copper of the night attack was a new type of bomb, a radio-guided bomb.
This kind of radio-guided bomb, originally used by the Germans in history in 1943, has performed well since it debuted. It has sunk and damaged many Allied battleships and cruisers. It is a true new bomb.
In order to carry out this mission and ensure the final effective destruction, Zhang Shusheng personally signed an order to use this new bomb in actual combat.
"The final attack begins, throwing the X bomb."
Six HH-3 medium-definition medium-range bombers equipped with X-1 radio-guided bombs began to lower their altitudes, aimed at the American ship fleet in the sky, and pinpointed the remaining big guys to start bombing.
Soon, more than a dozen 500-class bombs began to fall under the guidance of the radio in a new way towards the two remaining US aircraft carriers Virginia and Tennessee, as well as two battleships. go with.
boom!
boom! .... A total of eight explosions, about 6 guided bombs eventually deviated from the target a small distance due to various reasons, but there were still eight hit the target, this hit rate is already very high.
In the blast of violent explosions, the main force of the remaining fleet of the US Pacific Fleet was almost named, without any omissions. It was only a lightly damaged or unscathed warship, mostly some cruisers or destroyers, others The aircraft carriers and battleships were all named.
On the U.S. fleet, a soldier on an air defense cruiser finally couldn't help but launched a madness, and saw that he was looking for a target while operating an anti-aircraft gun.
Maybe it was shit, he fortunately hit a F? Dive bomber.
"I hit, F, CK, I hit, haha, I hit ..."
However, he was crazy because of the war situation, and even if he stunned himself on the deck, he did not find the next tragic situation.
In the anticipation of other U.S. soldiers, this bomber, although unclear, but clearly on fire, put out its own fire after three seconds, and then flew away until it disappeared in the night. Fall into the water. "God……"
When he saw this, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help sighing. Seriously, Americans are not lacking in advanced technology, nor are they lacking in advanced military technology and equipment. Whether it is infrared night vision equipment or radio-guided bombs, the former Americans have off-the-shelf, even infrared jammers, and the latter is something that can be quickly made, but this is a time difference of one or two years.
China was equipped earlier than them, formulated its combat plan earlier, and quickly applied these new equipment to actual combat. This is far beyond the reach of Americans.
Although, he can foresee that with the deepening of the brutal war and the huge failure of Pearl Harbor, the Americans will definitely become more powerful. After this Pearl Harbor incident, he will also lay out many high-tech equipment at his own expense. And advance ahead of World War II. It only takes half a year to a year ~ EbookFREE.me ~ They can arm a brand new Pacific fleet and supplement all the lost warships in one breath.
The United States will wake up completely after this Pearl Harbor incident.
But what does it matter? Turtles race, as long as the rabbit is not asleep, the turtle in the armored car may not be able to pass.
Looking at the burning fleet in the image, Zhang Shusheng said silently: "War, the Pearl Harbor has just begun ..."
On the burning Pacific Ocean, Nimitz left the sinking Independence, boarded an escape boat and went to a lightly wounded battleship. Looking back at these burning warships, he could not help comforting himself: The Japanese are ahead of us, and it is time to ask the government to deploy more advanced weapons and equipment through a larger military expansion.
The Pacific Fleet is over, so what we need is the new Pacific Fleet. "(To be continued.
