Chapter 454: Atlantic Battle between China and the United States

At 1:05, two aviation bombs were hit on the port side of the Wudang Mountain. Within three minutes, Wudang Mountain was hit one after another without aviation bombs. Fortunately, the Wudang Mountain aircraft carrier was relatively strong and after so many aviation bombs, there were still no fatal injuries. However, half of the island was blown up, Zeng Jitang was injured, and the deck was full of fires, with heavy casualties. The officers and soldiers of the Chinese Empire rushed into the sea of ​​fire to save their comrades and tried every means to put out the fire.

When the Wudangshan was attacked in a concentrated manner, the Jinpingshan aircraft carrier was hit with 11 aviation bombs, of which three of which accidentally hit the oil depot, causing a violent explosion. The hull cracked in many places, and the sea water poured violently backwards, and the hull quickly sank.

At 1:07:00, the USS Jinpingshan aircraft carrier capsized and became the second sunken modified aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy.

In the following five minutes called black by the Imperial Navy, the third and fourth waves of the US bomber group, the 400 bombers broke through the fleet air defense fire network of the third aircraft carrier battle group at no cost, and threw aviation bombs at the aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy.

Although the interceptor fighter jets and air defense warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy opened fire violently and shot down most of the US bombers, more than 200 aviation bombs were still placed, causing two aircraft carriers of the third aircraft carrier battle group to be sunk on the spot, and the other six aircraft carriers were severely damaged. In addition, the two battle cruisers of the Sui Yangdi and Jin Wudi were slightly injured, causing the entire third aircraft carrier battle group to lose its combat effectiveness.

At one point, the US bomber group completed the sneak attack mission. Major General Kadan, the chief aircraft aircraft carrier battle group, was seen below. Seeing that eight aircraft carriers were sunk, two of the other six were severely damaged, and they were probably unable to be repaired in a short period of time. He immediately reported to the US Navy that "the sneak attack was successful and the enemy aircraft carrier battle group was paralyzed."

However, Major General Cardin was not too happy. Because when he counted the number of bombers left after the sneak attack, he couldn't help but beat his feet and stamped his chest. It turned out that the 800 O-400 bombers of the US bomber group were shot down by the Imperial Navy defensive fighter jets and fleet air defense firepower in just half an hour. Only 168 bombers successfully returned, and each was injured. It was not until this time that he recalled the scene when he broke through the Imperial Navy's air defense firepower network at all costs. Thinking of the several ASUS air defense cruisers with extremely abnormal air defense firepower in the Imperial Navy, he couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. This time, it was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, but what about next time? Does he still have the courage to rush hard? The answer was no, and he shook his head and didn't dare to get close to her again when he killed him.

Just as the remaining U.S. bombing of the U.S. base by the Imperial Navy Air Force was completed. Over the Norfolk base, thousands of fighter jets fought. The Imperial Navy Air Force shot down 1,156 U.S. fighter jets at the cost of losing 241 fighters and successfully covered the bomber fleet to bomb the headquarters, warehouses, oil depots, ammunition depots, docks, barracks, hospitals and other important facilities at the Norfolk base. One thousand tons of aviation bombs, white phosphorus bombs and gasoline combustion bombs were dropped, causing the entire Norfolk base to be in a sea of ​​fire. A large number of U.S. base facilities were damaged, and thousands of people were injured. Even the US warships anchored at the dock did not feel any security. Many warships were injured.

Hundreds of fighter jets dispatched by the Third Aircraft Carrier Battle Group made great contributions over the Norfolk base and shot down a large number of US aircraft. However, just as they happily flew back to the location of the Third Aircraft Carrier Battle Group, they were shocked.

The sea was filled with smoke, and six unsanknitted aircraft carriers were severely damaged and rolling black smoke emerged from the hull, soaring into the sky. The Imperial sailors on the deck used high-pressure water guns to put out the fire, and the engineers covered pieces of steel plates on the blown deck cannon runway, and were under emergency repairs.

An air defense warship guarded on the periphery even fired two guns at its own planes. It was not until the two alert fighters confirmed that they were imperial planes that they canceled their air defense preparations.

However, all aircraft carriers were severely damaged and could not dock for their fighters and bombers in a short period of time. Fortunately, when the third aircraft carrier battle group was attacked by the US military, Zeng Jitang informed the aircraft carrier fleet headquarters that Wang Jiancheng had photographed the second aircraft carrier battle group coming to rescue, so that the combat aircraft of the third aircraft carrier battle group could fly to the reinforcement aircraft carrier to dock, so that the fuel exhaustion would not fall into the sea.

General Li Dingxin, commander of the Joint Fleet, just praised Lieutenant General Wang Jiancheng, the commander of the aircraft carrier battle group, saying that the Navy's air raid on the US Norfolk base had achieved the expected results. I believe that in a few more times, we can force the US main fleet out and let all the officers and soldiers of the aircraft carrier battle group continue to work hard.

Wang Jiancheng just hung up the phone and received a call from Zeng Jitang for help. After learning that a large number of US bombers raided the third aircraft carrier battle group, Wang Jiancheng's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

"It's outrageous! Is this so possible? An aircraft carrier battle group has lost its combat power, and my face has been thrown away by Zeng Jitang! I'm going to remove him from his post!"

Seeing the losses reported by the third aircraft carrier battle group, Wang Jiancheng was furious.

"He has removed himself from office!"

Chief of Staff Feng Luxin sighed and said, "This time the third aircraft carrier battle group suffered heavy losses due to the raid, but this was not Wang Jiancheng's fault, but he left behind and the US bomber group chose to attack him instead of the other three aircraft carrier battle groups."

Wang Jiancheng was very angry and said angrily: "What kind of luck is a defeat? A defeat is a defeat, don't find a reason!"

Feng Luxin continued: "I have read Wang Jiancheng's report. This time, the US military suddenly dispatched thousands of bombers to carry out a raid on our aircraft carrier battle group. If it were the other three aircraft carrier battle groups, they would not be able to survive."

Wang Jiancheng calmed down his anger a little and frowned and said, "What happened? Where did the Americans get so many bombers?"

Feng Luxin added: "And according to the report, the US bombers were able to fly above the clouds and avoid the reconnaissance of our peripheral guard ships. Moreover, our aircraft carrier battle group is 200 nautical miles away from the US coastline. Their bombers can fly over to show that this is not the previous US bomber, but a new bomber with a long range."

Wang Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's true! I was careless and thought it would be safe to place the fleet outside the attack range of the US bomber group. However, I never thought that the US military would have more advanced fighter jets, and the number was very large."

Then Wang Jiancheng complained again: "Damn it, what does the Intelligence Agency do for food? Why didn't it report to us that the US military already has more advanced bombers and is huge in number."

Feng Luxin sighed and said, "Maybe it's because of something happening in China recently?"

Wang Jiancheng asked: "What happened in China?"

Feng Luxin explained: "Tan Sitong of the Supreme Procuratorate impeached Li Guodong. His Majesty ordered him to investigate all the officials of the Intelligence Bureau. I heard that many senior officials of the Intelligence Bureau were prosecuted. Perhaps because of this reason, the intelligence that should have been informed of us was frozen by the Supreme Procuratorate."

"Damn it!" Wang Jiancheng smashed the table and said, "I won't impeach you sooner or later, but I'm infighting at this time. Although I don't like the way Li Guodong's group of people show off their power, the empire has won every battle over the years, and it is inseparable from the precise intelligence of their Intelligence Bureau. It can be said that they have made great contributions and made great contributions."

"They make trouble for them, we beat us!" Feng Luxin said: "This incident has not been reported yet. Before it is reported, we should always save some face."

"What I said!" Wang Jiancheng nodded in agreement.

Feng Luxin took the chart and pointed to several locations on it, saying: "Our reconnaissance aircraft industry has discovered the route and location for the retreat of the US bomber group. It is currently located in the three airports of Newport News, Gloucester and Elizabeth City. Reconnaissance aircraft reported that the number of new bomber groups of US troops will not be too large. In the attack just now, more than half of them were shot down by our army, and there were less than 200 aircraft in the airport. The US military has concentrated on defending the Norfolk base, so there are not many escort fighters at these three airports. If we quickly send fighters and bombers to attack here, as long as they are eliminated in one fell swoop, the US military will not be able to threaten our navy again in a short period of time. If we can achieve this, we will at least score a point in the overall strategic situation, and the punishment for us on the top of the peak will not be too heavy."

Wang Jiancheng nodded and said, "Although we have suffered a considerable loss, the US bomber group has also paid a high price. If this threat can be eliminated, it is worth our loss of several aircraft carriers."

Then Wang Jiancheng said ruthlessly: "If you dare to paralyze a aircraft carrier battle group, you have to pay ten times the price."

So, Wang Jiancheng ordered 600 Hellfire carrier-based fighter jets to take off with full load of ammunition and go to attack the US military's US airports in Islamabad City, Gloucester and Newport News, in order to eliminate the new US bombers.

After the revenge attack aircraft took off, Wang Jiancheng and Feng Luxin sat down to summarize the lessons of the battle.

The Chinese Empire has always won every battle and won glorious victories one by one. Although this greatly increased morale, it also caused the imperial officers and soldiers to be more or less conceited. Especially in the hearts of the imperial naval generals, this conceit has become a bit arrogant.

In this case, the Chinese Empire Navy was the first to taste the consequences of self-conceiving. Since the Chinese Empire's aircraft carrier battle group's tactics are not yet mature, leading the world's aircraft carrier development trend is certainly worthy of the Imperial Navy, but it also has to pay the corresponding price to explore new aviation tactics. This price was exposed in the Battle of Bermuda, China and the United States, but it did not attract the attention of the Imperial Navy.

As early as the Battle of Bermuda, the navies of China and the United States used aircraft carriers to fight for the first time. The tactics used by combat aircraft were sent out in one go. As a result, the aircraft carrier's own safety was not taken seriously and was severely damaged by enemy aircraft. In the early stage of the Atlantic decisive battle between the Chinese and US Navy, the Chinese Empire navy only learned the lessons of the Battle of Bermuda in a limited manner, but was not profound. After the aviation dispatched the attack aircraft group, it no longer dispatched in full swing, but left five to ten fighters for each aircraft carrier as defense.

According to the evaluation report of the Imperial Chinese Navy, these fighter jets were sufficient to protect the safety of aircraft carriers. In addition, the Imperial Navy had too high expectations for the air defense capabilities of the Typhoon-class Chinese ASUS air defense cruiser, and believed that the protection of the aircraft carrier battle group would be solid, so it was a disaster.

Although the commanders of the Emperor of China made mistakes, thankfully, under the leadership of Wang Chenhao, the Emperor of China had developed a meeting immediately after the battle to summarize the experience of victory and the lessons of failure. The Emperor of China's self-correction attitude is truly powerful.

One learns from one's mistakes and one's wisdom. After this battle, the Chinese Empire's naval aircraft carrier tactics will be more perfect.

At the same time, senior U.S. Navy officials also held an emergency meeting. Although the US bomber group unexpectedly hit an aircraft carrier battle group of the Imperial Navy. However, according to Major General Cardinal's report after returning, the Imperial Navy aircraft carrier battle group not only had the direct-to-deck aircraft carrier in the previous intelligence, but also had a very huge aircraft carrier. This aircraft carrier can take off and land a large number of aircraft at the same time, while the US Navy's aircraft carrier does not have this capability. In addition, Cardinal

The major general exaggerated the air defense cruiser of the Imperial Navy, saying that the firepower of this air defense cruiser is abnormal. Most of the US bombers that raided this time were shot down by modified cruisers, which was simply an insurmountable air defense firepower network. If it weren't for the large number of US bombers this time and finally broke through when the opponent's air defense weapon system changed its ammunition box, the consequences would be unimaginable. US bombers might not be able to break through the air defense firepower network of the Imperial Navy.

Major General Cardin did not want to carry out the raid mission anymore, so his statement was a bit exaggerated. After reading Cardin's report, Benson and other naval executives were very nervous. On the one hand, they ordered the intelligence department to focus on investigating the ASUSA air defense cruisers of the Imperial Navy, and on the other hand, they were also heartbroken about the large number of new bombers lost in this raid.

The US Navy believes that although this operation severely damaged an aircraft carrier battle group of the Imperial Chinese Navy, the bombers lost too much. This new O400 bomber was much slower than the original O100 bomber, and it took a long time to get supplementary. Faced with the current tactical purpose of the Chinese Emperor's quick battle, what the US military demanded was delaying time, rather than such a miserable victory.
