Eagle Sauce Navy Seventh Fleet Flagship CVN-76 Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan
When the last gale was torn into fragments by the phalanx close-to-air defense system on the ship, all the officers and soldiers in the bridge CIC really relaxed.
"Report to the general that the last enemy plane has been wiped out, and we are safe." CIC's radar non-commissioned officer carefully confirmed that no enemy plane was found on each radar, and directed the commander of the Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier strike group. Rear Admiral Michael H. Miller reports.
"Well, I see, have you found the source of the enemy plane?" Michael turned his head and asked the officer in charge of intelligence.
"Sorry, General. We only know that the enemy plane suddenly appeared about 70 kilometers to the southwest, and then hurriedly attacked us. The rest of the intelligence... is currently unknown." The intelligence officer checked the information. Later, apologetic reported to Michael Hui.
"Send a formation of Super Hornet and an Eagle Eye to search for the place where the enemy aircraft first appeared. Be sure not to miss any useful information!" Michael ordered to his adjutant.
"Yes, General." The adjutant nodded, and then arranged the order.
"General, does the aircraft carrier need to lift anchor and leave the port to avoid it? If you continue to stay in place, the target will be as obvious as the target in the shooting range!" The chief of staff of the fleet, Commodore Reed Hercules, offered his own advice to Michael. Worry.
Due to the unequal differences in intelligence, Michael and Leed did not know the letter received by Lieutenant General William.
"Yes, contact General William. In order to avoid the enemy's special infiltration team, I decided to let the Ronald Reagan and George Washington, along with the convoy fleet, pull out the anchor and avoid possible attacks. Waiting for confirmation on land. Later, our department re-entered the military port." Michael said to the communications officer.
"Yes, General." The communications officer then told Lieutenant General William of the previous attack on the aircraft carrier and Major General Michael's decision.
Unlike Major General Michael, Lieutenant William’s attack on the aircraft carrier immediately thought of the previous letter. He hurriedly stopped Michael: "Michael, don't leave Hong Kong for now!"
"Why? General William?" Michael asked General William strangely.
"Because this is the enemy's trick to lure the enemy! They want to lure the fleet out of the military port to do something, and they are never allowed to leave the military port without a last resort!" General William gave full play to'what the enemy wants to do, the more we Do not follow the spirit of doing that', ordered Michael.
"Huh? General William, who started war on us?" Michael couldn't help asking William.
"I don't know, but we received a letter of challenge. Michael, we must take strict measures. The fleet must not be lost!" General William ordered Michael.
"Yes! General William! Assure you, the fleet will never go wrong!" Michael stood up and saluted and issued a military order to William.
As soon as the voice fell, the tragic call of the radar officer rang out from the CIC on the bridge.
"Attention! An enemy torpedo was found on the port side!"
"What? Enemy torpedo aircraft? Where did the torpedo aircraft come from? There are still countries using torpedo aircraft?" Michael looked at the radar officer with a blank expression.
Not only him, but also General William and Hiroshi Yamamura in the video communication looked stunned.
But stunned back to stunned, but this does not affect Michael's command.
"Notify the Phalanx to approach the artillery and shoot them down!" He ordered calmly.
Modern anti-aircraft gun systems are aimed at high-speed flying missiles. For this kind of antique World War II torpedo machine with a speed of less than 100 knots, it is simply an anti-aircraft cannon to fight mosquitoes - it is overkill.
The launch of aviation torpedoes has strict conditions. The altitude of the aircraft must be strictly controlled when the torpedo is launched, otherwise the fuze may be triggered when the torpedo enters the sea, and the speed of the launch must also be reduced. The torpedo must be launched at a speed of more than 100 knots. The fuze may be damaged at the moment of entering the sea, and other parts may also malfunction; in addition, the body of the torpedo needs to be kept as stable as possible when the torpedo enters the sea, otherwise the torpedo may roll directly toward the seabed.
The most terrible thing is that the speed of the torpedo in the sea is 30 knots, so it is a weapon that can be evaded by the warship by its own maneuver. The torpedo must occupy the most powerful launch position when launching the torpedo to ensure a hit. In the face of warships that are constantly evading, the torpedo formation may have to seize the attack position many times in order to occupy a favorable position. Therefore, the entire attack process may take up to ten or twenty minutes. During this process, the torpedo plane will always be under the attack of the enemy's air defense firepower, and the survival rate is definitely much lower than that of a dive bomber that only stays within the enemy's firepower range for one or two minutes.
In the sea battle between Eagle Soup and Neon in World War II, the survival rates of torpedoes on both sides were terrible. At Midway, the US military dispatched three torpedo squadrons, vt-3, vt-6, and vt-8, to attack the neon carrier.
Only one of the 15 torpedo planes of the VT-8 that arrived first launched a torpedo, but it was too badly positioned and missed; the entire VT8 was shot down, only one of the 15 pilots survived, and all the 15 rear seat machine gun shooters Lost in the bullet rain of the Japanese army.
The vt6 that arrived later was much better because the Japanese zero war was attracted to the vt8 side, but the evasive action of the Kaga caused the vt6's attack action to be delayed for a long time, and finally zero war came, and the vt6 also Give a drop of water.
However, when there were still a few torpedo planes left in the vt6, the Japanese zero war shells ran out, and the remaining machine gun bullets could not cause enough damage to the thick-skinned Destroyer torpedo machines, so the vt6 finally had five. The fighter plane successfully launched torpedoes, but none of them hit.
The last vt3 arrived in the best condition. VT3 has a dive bomber squadron vb-3 that launched an attack with them in the sky. The Japanese air defense firepower is effectively dispersed. At the same time, there are 5 f4f wildcat fighters serving as vf-3 behind VT-3, leading the five. The vf3 captain of the Wildcats was still a threat-he was the famous HNA hero Major Saatchi. He was besieged by twenty zero wars and led his men to use the scissors maneuvers and zero wars they created to beat Japan. Everyone is five to one (so the zero war myth is a lie. The first direct confrontation between the wild cats of the Eagle Sauce Navy and the zero war ended in a one-sided victory of the wild cats. The zero war record is all brushed on the f2a buffalo fighter. of……).
Even with such good attack conditions, all VT-3 torpedo attacks were still lost, and none of them hit...
In the Japanese military, the situation was similar. In the early stages of the war, the success rate of Japanese torpedo attacks was much higher than that of the US military. This was because the Japanese military pilots had a higher level of training than the US military. But these highly trained torpedo pilots were exhausted in 42 years.
The last batch of highly trained neon torpedo pilots was lost in the Santa Cruz naval battle. It was not the American Wildcat fighters that shot them down, but the battleship South Dakota. In the Santa Cruz naval battle, the Japanese attack on the Hornet aircraft carrier did not lose much because there were no battleships in the group of the Hornet aircraft carrier. At the same time, the fleet air defense command post guided the wild cats to the wrong place.
But when the Japanese attacked the Enterprise, the effect became very bad—the Enterprise’s fleet air defense guidance performed equally badly, and most of the wildcats only had time to intercept the Japanese aircraft that completed the attack and evacuated. But the Enterprise is the flagship of the fleet, with the South Dakota beside it. This battleship fired 60,000 rounds of anti-aircraft shells over 20mm in less than three hours of air combat, and the number of anti-aircraft machine gun rounds fired was simply uncountable.
The South Dakota finally reported that it had shot down 29 enemy aircraft, and post-war studies concluded that the number of Japanese aircraft it shot down was roughly between 20 and 27, all of which were torpedo aircraft. The captain of the South Dakota Gage stated in the battle summary: Our firearms are limited by elevation and firing height and have limited effectiveness in blocking dive bombers, but they have proven to be very effective when firing at low elevation angles. . . I think the 40mm Bofors cannon can effectively smash aerial torpedo attacks and should be equipped with aircraft carrier battle groups first.
Except for the Eagle Sauce Navy to obtain air supremacy on the Pacific battlefield, in order to speed up the progress of the war and the Neon Navy’s inferior air defense, torpedoes were used. After the war, all the remaining torpedoes were withdrawn from active service. .
So this is the reason why the three big men are confused. Now in the world, which country will use torpedo aircraft, which are outdated and extremely cost-effective, as the main force of the air force?
Before one minute arrived, the gun officer reported to Michael Hui: "Report to the general that all 36 incoming enemy aircraft were shot down by us!"
"Very well, thanks for your hard work." Michael nodded to the gunner, then looked at General William in the video communication.
"Is the other party a fool? Why use torpedo machines to attack us?" He asked General William inexplicably.
"I don't know very well, but Michael, I beg you on the side of the fleet. Together with General Yamamura, I will speed up the investigation on land. We must give these clowns who dare to challenge the dignity of our Dayingjiang family's navy. Grab!"
Not to mention, after spending a long time in the East, William can even use idioms. Although it just said the meaning, it is not much different from that idiom.
"Yes, General William! I will definitely take care of the fleet!" Michael saluted William again.
Maybe God's watching this video communication is not pleasing to your eyes, the general William on the communication side hasn't spoken yet, the screaming howling of the radar officer sounded again.
"Seventy-five degrees above! Two thousand altitude! Dive bomber!"
Seeing this, William also said to Michael: "Michael, you concentrate on commanding the fleet, let's talk about it after the matter is over!"
After speaking, he hung up the communication.
When the communication hangs up, Michael can concentrate on commanding the battle.
"Launch Sea Sparrow and Ram, and notify the logistics team to speed up the loading speed of the Phalanx!" He ordered.
"The enemy plane has begun to dive!" the radar officer shouted nervously.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. The Nimitz class is an armored aircraft carrier, and one or two bombs won't do much damage. Besides, we have short-range anti-aircraft missiles, and the aircraft will be gone before the bombs of the other side are dropped. This scene can't help me. I think of the Mariana Sea Battle in the textbook, or Mariana Turkey Hunting Competition. I think we are just the same now. I think there should be another Yokosuka Turkey Hunting Competition in the textbooks in the future. Are you right? "Michael comforted everyone on the bridge in a relaxed tone.
Tension will make mistakes, and mistakes will be seized by the enemy. As a commander, you should properly mediate the atmosphere of your subordinates so that they won't be too nervous during the battle.
Facts have proved that his comfort has been very effective until now.
"Hahahahahahaha! General, you are right!"
Everyone on the bridge agreed with laughter.
It just so happened that another wave of planes was spotted on the radar. The radar officer reported to Michael Hui with a changed tone: "Report to the general, another batch of turkeys!"
"Haha! Boys, the turkeys are here, are your shotguns ready?" Michael patted the holster on his waist and laughed to the officers and soldiers on the bridge.
"Hahahaha!"
. . . . . .
Just as the officers and soldiers on the Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier laughed~EbookFREE.me~Missouri was also smiling.
"Puff ha ha ha ha! Commander, you think Akagi is so hateful, how about letting me stay by your side?" Missouri looked at the commander in the video chat and asked him with a laugh.
"Go, go, Missouri, you are too much like this! I just made a joke with Anata just now. Didn't you have such a stingy? Anata, just say something!" Akagi's anxious face was on the phone screen Appeared in.
"Don't tell me, it's too much, knowing that I am so painful that I have no appetite, I am still tempting me with food... Akagi, I misunderstood you... I need sister Li to comfort me." Xiao Yuhang Turning his head, he said to Richelieu with an expression of "I am very angry, please comfort".
"Ha ha ha... well, let me comfort you." Richelieu took his general's hand with a chuckle, and said with a wink at Akagi.
"Admiral, Akagi won't give you delicious food. When I come back, I will make you jade yaki! How about delicious jade yaki?" Dafeng watched as his second wave of attackers were all lost. Speaking to the camera on the edge of the phone in Missouri.
"Okay, okay, I'm tired of Chicheng's food. You will definitely make a lot of delicious food for Dumb Monkey?" Xiao Yuhang nodded sternly.
But the slightly raised corners of his mouth betrayed his true thoughts.
"Anata~~~!" Of course, Akagi knew that her admiral was playing with her, she said coquettishly.
"Oh, my god! Akagi, you can't stand the babbling too much. Okay, let's stop making trouble. Let's talk about business!" Xiao Yuhang shivered and hurriedly stimulated by Akagi’s babble. Waved his hand seriously.
