Chapter 426 Suicide Attack

Zhang Chi has no way to deal with this.

If there is really any way, it should be that you should also "break the whole into pieces" to disperse and disperse.

However, this tactic is correct but cannot be achieved.

The reason is that the radar is still fresh at this time, and any one is more than one thousand kilograms. Such a heavy weight determines that it can only be installed on warships or aircraft carriers, not on fighter jets.

In other words, the fighter jets of this era are actually looking for targets with their eyes...

If the enemy fighter jets are a dense group of aircraft, it's easy to do. After the radar detects the location of the group, it's enough to tell the group that it's time to fly in through the radio.

But if the enemy aircraft group "breaks into pieces" and all scatters... Although the radar can still detect points, it doesn't know how to command fighters to fight. You can't use radio to notify each fighter to which point you should fly to to chase which enemy aircraft!

On the other hand, the fighter jets and radars at this time do not have the enemy-to-me recognition function, that is, the enemy aircraft and their own fighter jets are displayed the same on the radar. This is one of the reasons why the US military often mistakenly regards the Japanese army as their own fighter jets on the Pacific battlefield.

So, once the whole thing is broken into pieces and the melee becomes a mess, the first thing is that the radar loses its function.

What's even more amazing is that the dispersion of Japanese fighter jets can minimize the combat effectiveness of Sino-US coalition fighter jets... Anyway, Japanese pilots are all rookies, and the performance of the fighter jets they are flying is weak, so they are beaten by the enemy like a "turkey hunting". It's better to disperse the enemy and let the enemy fight. The more they are scattered, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are, the more they have to work and time to find the next target. When they are looking for the target, the Japanese fighter jets may have broken through their defense and broke into the air above the Chinese ship.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi could only give one order: "There are all, disrupt the formation and find the target freely!"

"Yes!" Zhang Junhua responded and immediately forwarded the order.

However, American pilots, including Chinese pilots, are actually not suitable for this tactic of disrupting free combat in formations... If they are completely dispersed, they should even break up the two aircraft formations and fight independently. However, Chinese and American pilots are accustomed to the coordinated combat between the two aircraft, which was forced out by the Japanese army's previous threat of "zero war invincibility".

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of Sino-US fighter jets can be said to be reduced by half in an instant.

This does not mean that Chinese and American fighter jets cannot shoot down enemy planes. On the contrary... the moment the enemy and our fighter jets contacted, Japanese fighter jets were shot down one after another by Chinese and American fighter jets, and the casualty rate of Chinese and American fighter jets was almost zero. Japanese fighter jets can almost be said to have been beaten and never fought back.

However, Chinese and American pilots have a feeling of being powerful and nowhere to be used in this air battle.

Then, more than a dozen Japanese fighter jets became leakers and rushed over the Chinese naval fleet.

The anti-aircraft guns immediately sounded, and a series of shells rushed straight into the sky with a sharp roar, and balls of black smoke exploded from the front and behind the Japanese fighter fuselage. Several more fighter jets were immediately blown into balls of fire.

At this time, some veterans felt something was wrong, because some fireballs that exploded in the air were particularly dazzling and released by the flames. However, the veterans didn't know why, and many people thought that it was caused by the bombs carried by enemy planes that were particularly prolonged.

It was indeed a bomb, but it was not a bomb, but an explosive... It was a bomber full of explosives.

Of course, those fighter jets were not all filled with explosives. There were only six of them in the first batch, four of which were shot down on the way to the Chinese naval fleet... Two of them were shot down by fighter jets, and the other two were shot down by air defense artillery.

Two other aircraft successfully broke through the interception of Sino-US coalition fighter jets and blockade of anti-aircraft guns, and dived and crashed into the Pinghai aircraft carrier.

Fortunately, one of the fighter jets was hit by an anti-aircraft machine gun when they flew down and lost their balance. They fell head-on into the sea water next to the aircraft carrier. This may be the only fighter jet whose pilot was not killed but drowned.

Another fighter jet crashed hard on the deck of the "Pinghai" and exploded with a "boom"... The huge explosion almost made the entire aircraft carrier shaking violently.

However, it is unbelievable that although the aircraft carrier suffered a lot of trauma, they were all minor injuries. At that time, many people did not understand why such a big explosion occurred and why the aircraft carrier deck was not blown up.

When I recalled it later, I realized that this should be because the angle of the Japanese fighter jet when it hit the aircraft carrier was too small... This may be because the Japanese pilots flew at low altitude to avoid anti-aircraft shells, and another problem caused by low altitude flight was that it had to crash into the aircraft carrier at a very small angle. As a result, after the fighter exploded, it rolled into the sea entirely due to inertia, so a considerable part of the destructive power of the explosion was actually attracted by the sea water.

It is hard to imagine what kind of destructive power it would have caused if the fighter jet crashed into the island of the aircraft carrier rather than the deck. Perhaps Zhang Chi would have to be wiped out with the aircraft carrier.

But even so, the explosion still made the deck and elevator of the Pinghai aircraft carrier unavailable... Fortunately, the airport in Iwo Jima is under the control of the Central Team, otherwise the fighter jets that took off would not know where to stop.

When the Japanese pilot saw the result of the battle, he couldn't help but cheer, and then immediately reported to Shiinya Taro.

"Major General!" said the Japanese pilot: "One of our suicide attack aircraft has successfully crashed into the 'Shokhe' and exploded, we succeeded!"

Exaggerating the results of the war is a common phenomenon in the Japanese army at this time, but this Japanese pilot should not have been intentionally exaggerated. He was probably deceived by the huge explosion and the fire and black smoke rising from the deck.

Even the pilot wanted to confirm the results, but soon a "Hellcat" swooped towards it... Then there was a "da da da" machine gun sound, and the bullets passed through the weak skin of Zero War like a bean, and knocked the Japanese pilot into a sieve.

However, the news of success still reached Shizuo Taro. Shizuo Taro couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and then made a decision that he regretted very much later... He recalled the second wave of fighter jets because he thought that the strategic purpose had been achieved and the enemy aircraft carrier had been destroyed and could not fight, so there was no need to waste any more fighter jets that were very precious to the Japanese army at this time, and they could be kept for the next batch.

Even Shiinyutaro thought... Even if the "Shoka" had not sunk, a submarine was still in the sea at this time, and it would be enough to sink the seriously injured aircraft carrier.
