Chapter 257 Air Force Eagle

As the battle continues, the sacrifice of the pilot Zhen will continue until the main force of the Japanese and Russian fleet is consumed by 10% that the surface ships of Zhen will play the protagonist and pursue the remaining power of the Japanese ships with the planes, because their naval guns have no advantage over the Japanese ships, and the torpedoes have limited ability to attack at long distances.

On the command ship of the Japanese-Russian joint fleet, Ijiyuan Goro frowned high, and Osbezov next to him also had a gloomy face.

"This battle was so tragic. The Chinese air force was too strong. The participation of the air force completely disrupted the war mode. Traditional naval warfare has completely lost its meaning. I don't know how many warships will be lost if this war continues?" Ijiyuan Goro sighed with a hint of sad expression.

"If we want to chase the Chinese port, we need to continue sailing at full speed for about ten hours. If this continues, their planes will bomb us many times. The results are difficult to predict. At this time, I only hope that at least 30% of the ships of the joint fleet can arrive at their port, so that we will win." Osbezov lowered his head and said in a deep voice. Although he said this, he had made even worse plans in his heart.

At this time, two large Russian battleships had lost one, six of the remaining warships, and one-fifth of the main force had been lost. Osbezov was also very depressed, thinking that he could win the war and get more spoils from China for compensation, but this was just a wishful expectation.

"Sir, there are planes flying over the fleet again. This time the number of planes is about fifty." A commander suddenly ran into the command room and said to Goro Ijiyuan in a panic.

"About fifty, it should be a complete flight formation. Could it be an air force fighter jet taken off from the Chinese land airport?" Ijiyuan Goro thought for a moment, his eyes flashed, and then made a judgment.

"Sir, we see that the fighter jets flying in this time seem to be larger in size, slightly different from the planes bombed in the previous few bombings." The subordinate officer continued to report.

"It seems that it is really... If the Chinese take off from land can fly to such a faraway sea to carry out bombing missions, the joint fleet will suffer greater losses." Osbezov's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately stood up from his chair and said in surprise.

"If this is the case, the Chinese Air Force also joined the battle, and the result is even more unpredictable." Ijiyuan Goro began to pace back and forth in the command room, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Order the fleet to actively develop defense, continue to narrow the defense circle, and provide each other with artillery fire protection." Ijiyuan Goro had no other way, so he could only act according to the original plan and continue to chase the fleet with his teeth.

At this time, after several rounds of defensive wars, the joint fleet had already summarized some tips for resisting air strikes. They began to make warships form a large circle, with ships inside and outside. The distance between ships was only about one or two hundred meters apart, and they could provide firepower support to the bombed warships. This method was much better than the initial battle effect. After gaining combat and shooting experience, the losses of the joint fleet began to decrease a little. (Please remember me

"One thing is now very certain. There should be two Chinese aircraft carriers." Ijiyuan Goro changed his mind again.

"This can be seen based on the bombing density of their aircraft. If their Air Force aircraft are added, the next step is the most difficult time for the Joint Fleet." Osbezov nodded.

"Anyway, the battle has progressed to this point, and we can only grit our teeth and persevere. As long as there are a few ships that can survive, approach their aircraft carriers, and sink them all, the Chinese naval combat power will no longer exist. Japan and Russia can quickly get ship assistance from the Allies and reorganize new naval forces. The vast waters in East Asia will still be ours." Ijiyuan Goro said again.

"Well, in the end, I want to see how strong the Chinese aircraft carriers are." Osbezov agreed.

The rumbling sound in the sky became louder and louder, and Ijiyuan Goro and Osbezov could already see the plane coming out of the clouds.

"Two officers, please go to the inner room for a while, it's dangerous here." At this time, two subordinate officers ran in and shouted to Goro Ijiyuan and Osbezov.

The two then left the window, walked out of the door, and went down from the deep corridor to another room.

The Japanese soldiers on the face made a strange cry and began to fire shells into the sky.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Dadadada..."

The dense bombing sound and the counterattack of anti-aircraft artillery fire suddenly sounded like a storm. The sky outside us once again ushered in a messy sound. Planes and shells whistled past, one after another, shocking everyone's hearts.

At this time, the joint fleet was already used to this defensive war that was attacked by the enemy. At this time, it was no longer as panicked as the first time. It gradually became more and more skillful in tactical cooperation, and the control of anti-aircraft cannons in its hands was gradually familiar with. This would be more and more difficult for Zhen.

"The enemy's bombing is about to end, right?" Izuiyuan Goro looked at his watch, probably guessing that the bombing should last.

"Sir, another batch of planes flew from afar, the number is similar to this batch. This time the enemy sent more and more bombings." At this time, the words that made Ijiyuan Goro's heart tremble suddenly sounded, and a subordinate officer ran in panic.

"What, it seems that the Chinese air force is indeed very strong." Ijiyuan Goro suddenly stood up and sighed.

"The intensity of the enemy's bombing is gradually increasing, and the fleet is still more than 400 kilometers away from their naval port. If this continues, the losses of the coalition forces will be immeasurable." Osbezov's heart suddenly became gloomy.

"I will fight to the death, and I must resist the enemy's attack." Ijiyuan Goro shouted in a slightly trembling tone.

"boom."

A loud bang suddenly occurred, and the battleship of the Gongqi suddenly shook. Ijiyuan Goro and Osbezov's bodies suddenly shook a few times. Both of them were unstable and fell to the ground beside them and slid to the ground.

"Go out and have a look, Gong Qi is shot." Yi Ji told him that the command ship must have been bombed.

After a while, the other officer ran in.

"Report to the sir, Gong Qi was hit by a bomb on the front deck, three people were killed and six people were injured, two of the anti-aircraft gunners died, and a large hole was blown out of the deck, but it was not serious. Gong Qi could still continue to sail."

"Okay, it's not that easy for Chinese people to blow up the Gongqi. The Gongqi's deck is as thick as 250 mm, and the hull armor thickness is as thick as 350 mm. How could it be so easy to be severely damaged?" Ijiyuan Goro climbed up from the ground in a mess and said coldly.

The deck of Gong Qi suddenly became chaotic. Two anti-aircraft cannons fell to one side. One turret collapsed. Several Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground, bleeding and motionless. The rest were receiving treatment from medical soldiers on the deck. Some were shouting in pain. Smoke was emitting on the deck, and a dark hole with a diameter of more than five meters was exposed outside.

The violent bombing of the first batch of aircraft dropped nearly 80 tons of bombs, almost doubled the bomb drops of naval carrier-based aircraft, causing the fleet to suffer a sharp increase. The sudden intrusion of the second batch of aircraft made the fleet more chaotic and the losses even greater. The sea was filled with ships with thick smoke, but the Zhen planes were frequently seen falling down to the sea.

Just after the bombing of the second batch of aircraft joined, more than a dozen more sunk ships were added. A large number of severely damaged ships were stopped on the sea and could not continue sailing. The surrounding sea surface was still in a mess. However, the Japanese soldiers seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of scene. When they saw the planes leaving the airspace one after another, the Japanese soldiers on the ship breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to relax and rest for a while, they saw a batch of new fighter jets appearing in the distance, which made all their hearts suddenly nervous.

"How is it possible that the Chinese plane is back?" Some Japanese soldiers thought it had returned just now, but soon they discovered that this was another complete flight formation, obviously not two formations where they had shot down more than a dozen aircraft just now.

"Boom boom boom..." Another round of intensive bombing began. The exhausted Japanese and Russian soldiers rushed to fight again. The soldiers carrying shells on the deck were sweating profusely and were overwhelmed. The gunners were sweating profusely and had to insist on fighting.

"Dadadada..." The anti-aircraft gun that had just been immersed in for a few seconds made another heavy sound of artillery fire.

"What, the Chinese people came in three flight formations in a row. How many planes do they have?" Ijiyuan Goro felt a dangerous atmosphere that he had never experienced before. Three formations in a row had nearly 150 fighter jets. The bombing lasted for so long and the amount of bomb drops made him dumbfounded.

"This bombing was so terrifying. Their planes dropped bombs a lot, and the number increased several times. I really don't know if we can last until the end?" Osbezov's eyes stiffened and he said with a pale face.

"Incredible, simply incredible," Ijiyuan Goro sighed repeatedly.

"Boom boom boom..." A loud explosion sounded everywhere around. Since the command ship is located near the center of the joint fleet and is protected layer by layer, the chance of being bombed is greatly reduced. They are safe for the time being, but if this continues, something will happen to the command ship sooner or later. Ijiyuan Goro's heart suddenly became extremely cold, and he seemed to have no hope of the joint fleet.

The dense sound of artillery fire outside made the two commanders anxious. They wanted to rush to the port terminal of Zhen in one step, but the long distance made them suffer for a long time. All the Japanese and Russian soldiers in the fleet were restless, and even the shooting accuracy was not as high as before. Obviously, they were too tired.

This unprecedented violent bombing lasted for about thirty minutes. The successive explosions of more than 100 aircraft expanded the losses of the Japanese-Russian joint fleet to the greatest extent. The losses of this bombing exceeded the total of the previous few times.

Since each of the dive bombers of the Zhen Air Force carried a 500 mm caliber torpedo and several bombs, the total tonnage reached two tons, and the hit accuracy and heavy damage ability far exceeded that of the navy's carrier-based aircraft, the joint fleet lost 28 warships this time, two of which were severely damaged by 20,000-ton battleships. So far, only one battleship of the joint fleet was left with more than 20,000-ton battleships. Zhen was obviously mainly bombarded by the main battleships of the enemy, and these large-tonnage ships were bombed more intensively.

At this time, only six battleships of 10,000-ton class were left, and one-third of the battleships above 5,000-ton class had been lost. Small and medium-sized battleships remained a large number of due to the bias of bombing.

After this wave of intensive attacks, the joint fleet ushered in a relatively safe period again. The fleet calmed down a little. Many soldiers on the Japanese ship sat next to the turret, enjoying a moment of tranquility, and their expressions were helpless.

The fleet continued to move forward at full speed, but the second round of more violent bombing was brewing. At this time, Zhen no longer preserved his strength and would attack the joint fleet with his greatest ability. Because if the joint fleet chooses to retreat and retreat to the Sea of ​​Japan, it will be pursued by carrier-based aircraft from the aircraft carrier battle group during the escape process. When they flee to the northern part of the Sea of ​​Japan, there may not be a few warships left.

So the joint fleet has now sacrificed its strength. No matter how much resistance it encounters, it can only move forward with its teeth.

On the Shenzhou aircraft carrier, the aircraft's fuel and ammunition replenishment are in full swing. Various staff members are doing their own responsibilities and are busy at their respective positions. In the hangar on the lower deck, there are crowds of people walking around. One of them makes a jingle sound, and there is also a dazzling light from the welding arc.

Captain Bai Yanjun got off the command room and went to the carrier-based aircraft repair room alone. He saw more than a dozen repair technicians busy rewelding defective parts and replacing parts for the damaged carrier-based aircraft.

Bai Yanjun walked to a Hong-2 bomber. Two young men wearing dark blue repair armbands were welding the aircraft's wings and a steel bracket on the damaged landing gear.

Seeing Bai Yanjun coming, the two young men stopped their work and quickly stood up to salute.

"Hello Captain"

"How is this plane damaged?" Bai Yanjun squatted down and observed the damaged wings and steel brackets under the belly of the aircraft. He found that there was a pothole with an area of ​​about 0.5 square meters on the wings. It was obviously left after being hit by debris scattered by anti-aircraft artillery shells when they exploded nearby. If they were directly hit by the shells, the damage would be even greater...
