Chapter 1463 American fleet
The United States wants to annihilate the island's fleet in one fell swoop, and the island's country also wants to annihilate the American's fleet. For the island's people, the best way is to wait and see. How good is it to stay in Midway Island?
Midway Island already has an airport. If they were smart enough, after taking Midway Island, they would immediately mobilize a large number of fighter jets from the local area and bombers would enter. They could not only attack American aircraft carrier formations with Midway Island as the core, but also head east at any time.
Unfortunately, they have wasted all their time.
Cialek is not optimistic about the islanders, they have wasted a lot of opportunities.
"What did Nanyun do?" At this time, in the waters near Midway Island, Shan Ji Fifty-six was also extremely angry: "It actually lost two aircraft carriers!"
The loss of two aircraft carriers was a huge price. You should know that this was just the result of an American air strike, and this result was of course not satisfactory to him.
"But the Americans only have two aircraft carriers to use, and we are evenly matched." On the side of his assistant said: "Now, General Nagashi is still sailing northward, trying to find the main Americans to fight."
Nanyun originally wanted to retreat, but Shanji disagreed, so Nanyun could only continue to go north and prepare to face the Americans head-on.
In their eyes, they thought that the Americans could only gather two aircraft carriers at most, but they didn't know that the Saragato was also taken off the ship platform by the Americans and hurriedly joined the battle.
"Tell Nanyun that we must destroy the main force of the US fleet so that we can continue to attack east with confidence." Shan Ji said: "Where is our Army Air Force? When will they arrive?"
What Cirick could think of was actually Shan Ji could think of, but he had no choice.
Because island countries are different from Germany and island countries have limited resources, the competition between the army and the navy for resources is very fierce, which has led to a great discord between the two branches of the army.
In order to compete for resources, the Army wanted to develop southward, fight Australia, Southeast Asia, and occupy resource areas, while the Navy wanted to defeat the United States and fight the Pacific War, the strategies of the two sides were different, and the final plans were compromised.
The Navy helped to fight Australia, and the Army helped to increase troops on Midway, but for some reasons, the Army Air Force could not arrive immediately.
The Navy had already put all its strength into the air, but was dragged down by the army.
Even Shan Ji can do nothing about these things. Even if he goes to the emperor to complain, he may have beaten fifty boards each.
The pheasant was worried and waited until dawn.
On the sea, today's wind and waves were a bit big, and the huge aircraft carrier was swaying in the sea. The sailors of the island country stood on the deck and watched their reconnaissance plane take off.
It is very likely that an encounter will occur today. They first need to discover the enemy. The first wave of takeoffs are all reconnaissance planes.
At the same time, Stuka dive bombers were also mentioned on the deck, waiting to take off at any time and attack the US fleet. The deck was full of Stuka bombers, and there were less than ten Zero fighters serving air defense missions.
They didn't know that they had made a serious mistake.
If there are four aircraft carriers, you can deal with it calmly, such as two aircraft carriers are used to defend air, take off Zero fighter jets at any time, two are used to attack, and take off Stuka at any time.
But there were only two ships left. Tadichi Nakayama, who was eager to attack, ordered all the Stuka bombers to be lifted on the deck, released at any time, and launched the first round of attack.
Time passes by little by little.
On the e-13a reconnaissance plane, the first-class flying soldier Cao Ganli Yangsi was flying his reconnaissance plane and shuttled between the clouds.
This reconnaissance aircraft was successfully developed in 38 years. Like other aircraft, it has a considerable range. It can fly on the sea for 5 hours at a time and a range of 2,000 meters. That is to say, after taking off, it can fly on the sea for one day.
It is very difficult to find the American fleet on the vast sea.
This is a three-seater reconnaissance aircraft with a pilot in front, a machine gunner behind, and a lookout and radio operator in the middle. As a reconnaissance aircraft, it must have long-distance telegrams and send them back to the fleet through passwords, rather than through unencrypted telephone stations.
"Look, what is that?" Suddenly, the machine gunman at the tail pointed at the sky and shouted loudly.
At this time, in the sky, a huge group of aircraft were flying over their heads. When Ganli Yangsi saw it, he immediately felt his eyelids twitching.
"The carrier-based aircraft carrier formation of American aircraft carriers! This means that the American aircraft carriers are behind them! Let's fly over and take a look!"
They don't have to worry about being discovered. They can fly higher and stand farther when they are effectively searching the sea. However, this will make them unable to identify targets on the sea, so their flight altitude is very low.
Flying at an altitude of several hundred meters, they will not be detected by the radar of this era with low accuracy. At the same time, they are not discovered by the US aircraft carrier attack aircraft group at a height of several thousand meters in the sky. Looking down from the sky, their blue paint easily mixed on the sea surface.
Ganli Yangsi pushed the operating rod and headed towards the other party. At the same time, the crew in the middle had already started to shoot the telegram back.
"One of our reconnaissance aircraft discovered a large number of American carrier-based aircraft coming towards our direction." On the Kaga aircraft carrier, Natsumoto's face changed immediately as soon as he heard the news he had just received.
"Hurry up, take off Zero War and release all our Zero War!"
They originally planned to attack first, so the deck was almost full of Stuka. Now, after hearing the news that the US carrier-based aircraft was coming, Natsuki Nakamoto ordered the fighter to be released first.
Only by protecting yourself can you win. If you ignore these planes coming to attack, then you will be in danger!
"What about our Stuka bombers?"
For aircraft carriers, the larger the tonnage, the better. In later generations, Americans fooled the heavy aircraft carriers and the high operating and maintenance costs, while small and medium-sized aircraft carriers were the king, and fooled the British to build the Invincible Class. At the same time, Americans' own aircraft carriers were larger than the other.
The biggest feature of a large aircraft carrier is its wide deck, which allows enough space to take off and land fighter jets, and there is also enough shutdown area.
And now, the island country's aircraft carriers are no longer possible.
The back deck is full of stukas, making it difficult to operate their decks. Generally speaking, it is best to clear the deck first before you can perform the release work.
But it's too late.
