Chapter 28 Shattering the Pride of the Japanese Navy (1)

In the evening, the Tang Army Aircraft Carrier Battle Group, centered on the two aircraft carriers, the Chiguo Tianwang and the Geng Tianwang, entered the waters 400 kilometers southeast of Guam.

Upon learning that the Japanese battleship formation was docking in Saipan Island for supplies, Zhang Meng immediately summoned relevant commanders of the two aircraft carriers of Team A to deploy combat operations.

That night, two aircraft carriers of the Tang army quickly marched towards Saipan, but for the sake of caution, they were worried about being attacked by Japanese submarines at night. After all, there was a Japanese submarine docking station on Saipan. The two aircraft carriers of the Tang army bypassed Guam, passed through the West Sea of ​​Agania, and arrived at a 200 kilometers northwest of Saipan.

The Japanese supply base on Saipan is located in the southeast of Saipan, and a Tirmani Mountains just separates the Tang and Japanese armies.

That night, neither Tang and Ri officers nor soldiers fell asleep. Even if they were lying down, they just closed their eyes, thinking about the fierce battle that could break out at any time.

For the Japanese sailors in the battleship detachment, although they firmly believed that their supercross class battleship would not be sunk by Tang army bombers, the sinking of the Kaga and Akagi aircraft carriers still had considerable concerns about them, after all, they were aircraft carriers modified by battleships.

The Japanese sailors were so scared that they couldn't sleep, but the Tang army aircraft carrier pilots were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

"Hey, how many bombs have you hit?"

"Where are you?"

"It's already two! I hit one of the Miaogao last time on the land voyage, and one of the Akagi the day before yesterday."

"If my hand hadn't trembled and I pressed the bomb drop button in advance. Otherwise, my two bombs would have been able to sank to Akagi."

"Have you heard about it? The Japanese battleship team is on Saipan Island. We will definitely have to go out when the day dawn tomorrow!"

"Then we have worked hard to chase the Japanese all the way. How can we do the flagship of the Japanese devils who are not exploding the dog gods?"

"I heard that only battleships can sink. Are our bombs suitable?"

"What's wrong? We have five hundred kilograms of bombs, which are as heavy as the 305mm main gun shell of a battleship!"

"Take it down quickly, it's much more powerful than the 305 naval gun. You should know that the warhead of the 305 naval gun is only 300 kilograms, and the other parts are launching medicine. Our aviation bombs do not require launching medicine. Five hundred kilograms are real warheads, with a 356mm naval gun shell on top."

"Oh my god. Our Hellfire carries two bombs, which is equivalent to two 356mm giant cannons, which is amazing!"

"It may not be possible! After all, the Japanese Nagato battleship has a 406mm main gun, according to the standards of the battleship. The armor of the Nagato battleship should be able to withstand the attack of the 406mm main gun shells! Our bombs are still a little short of!"

"Go and go, go, don't mislead the morale of the army. Let me tell you, the main gun of the battleship itself can withstand the attack of the main gun of the same caliber of the enemy. But the premise is that there is a certain distance limit. Let's talk about the Japanese Nagato battleship. It is the main gun of 406. In theory, its armor can block the direct hit of the 406 shells from 20 kilometers away. But if it is within 20 kilometers, for example, its armor cannot block the direct shot of the 406 shells within 10 kilometers. In other words, the 356mm shell still breaks the defense of the Nagato at a distance of 10 kilometers."

"So that's it. Our bomb dropping distance is within one kilometer, and even the 500mm armored battleship can't stop it."

"Is it an introduction... It involves a lot of complex kinetic energy calculations..."

"He is just a bottle of goods that is less than half a bottle, so you don't have to think about it so complicatedly. As long as you remember, our aviation bombs can completely break the armored defense of the Japanese battleship. As long as we accurately throw the bomb onto the Japanese battleship, no matter where it is, it must be blooming like a watermelon. Do you understand what it means to step on a watermelon?"

"clear!"

"Just understand, just go to bed with damn good luck. Tomorrow will be a fierce battle. If you don't keep enough sleep, be careful to be so tired that you will die suddenly as you fly!"

"What is sudden death?"

"Get out of here, go to bed!"

...

Pilots must maintain adequate sleep, which everyone knows, but they are still too excited and have been asleep for a long time.

Just when they felt like they were asleep, a battle sirens sounded.

"Everyone has noticed that this ship is now preparing for flights, launching an attack before dawn, repeating it, this is not an exercise."

It was not dawn, but the Tang army had already started to prepare, and they did not want to give the Japanese army any chance.

"Start an attack before dawn!"

This was Zhang Meng's order, and each ship conveyed it word by word.

The two consecutive victories were one-sided victories. For the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, everyone's confidence was soaring.

"I will win! I will win!"

After listening to the commander's pre-war mobilization and lectures, the Tang army pilots shouted in unison, and they all rushed towards their fighter jets as if they were injected with chicken blood. The ground crew had already completed the preparation missions such as refueling and mounting bullets, and all fighter jets could take off directly.

On the flight deck, when the red and green flags fell at the same time, a heavy Raptor carrier-based fighter jet suddenly accelerated, like a sharp arrow shooting out, gliding through the deck for more than 100 meters before flying into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Raptors took off one after another, forming a huge diamond formation over the aircraft carrier.

Fifteen minutes later, with the last Hellfire heavy carrier-based bomber ejected, 108 Raptors and 72 Hellfires completed their formation in the air and then rushed to the Japanese battleship squadron in Laolao Bay, Saipan.

In view of the lessons learned from the Japanese fleet last time, the Tang army's submarines and water reconnaissance planes did not relax at night and kept holding back the Japanese fleet in Laolao Bay. The seaplanes came from each light cruiser of the Tang army aircraft carrier battle group, and each light cruiser was equipped with two seaplanes.

The Japanese army was also ready for combat. Major General Shizuka Shinozuka, the acting commander of Tianyiliang, had ordered the Japanese battleship detachment to prepare for combat.

"The water depth of Laolao Bay is relatively shallow, and the torpedoes of the Tang army cannot play any role, because once they are thrown down, they will plunge into the mud under the water and cannot float up at all."

Shinozuka Shinozuka is worthy of his conceit. He does have his ability. After reading the water-line information of Laolao Bay, he immediately determined that the Tang army's torpedo could not play a role in Laolao Bay.

Laolao Bay is very wide, and the Japanese fleet can maneuver within the bay, so there is no need to worry about the torpedo attack of the Tang army, and can fight against the dive bombing of the Tang army with all its strength.

"Put the heavy machine guns on the rear command bridge, which is our air defense blind spot. If enemy planes dare to dive from there, they will definitely pay a heavy price!"

"General, wise, no wonder you dare to stay and replenish supplies. We believe that the enemy planes will inevitably suffer a great loss through your arrangement."

Shizuka Shinozuka snorted coldly and said, "After all, the Tang army has only been established for three years. Its military strategy is profound and cannot be used freely in a few years. Otherwise, there will be famous generals all over the world, so what else can they fight? They just rely on their advanced equipment to temporarily surpass us. When fighting, they rely on people, and equipment is second."

"General wise!"

A group of Japanese officers benefited a lot and admired Shinozuka.

"It's the enemy plane! They're here!"
