Chapter 1602 Crossing the Line of Fire
"General Mishir, our radar has detected a large number of Japanese planes flying in the southwest!"
"The number of enemy aircraft is more than 100, more than 120 kilometers away from our fleet. It is expected to arrive over the fleet in about 13 minutes."
Just like Murphy's Law, the world often fears everything. Just as Mitchell was anxious and anxious to wait for further news on the front line, the first wave of 104 Japanese planes in the Ozawa fleet were discovered by the radar of the US warship!
"Quick! Please order the fourth one immediately, and all fighter planes of the Fifth Detachment will take off immediately to fight. Be sure to blow all these damn invaders into pieces!"
A glimmer flashed in Mitchell's eyes. Although things exceeded expectations and gave him a bad premonition, the arrow had to be fired on the string. He had no choice but to use all his strength to win the battle!
What's more, at this time, the US fleet not only had strong aviation power, but also had very strong air defense firepower, far from reaching the risk of ending the road.
“go!go!go!go!go!”
"Gentlemen, the brutal invaders are coming, and for the sake of peace and justice of the world, we must eradicate them!"
"God will bless us! Gentlemen, enter the battle immediately and take the air to meet the enemy!"
With Mitchell's order, the pilots, who had been waiting for the battle, immediately ran to their respective plane money and entered the cabin with their flaps.
Immediately afterwards, one fighter jet after another took off on the aircraft carrier deck.
Within 10 minutes, the fleet dispatched 270 fighter jets, setting a new record for the rapid mobilization of carrier-based aircraft by the US military.
"Imperial Warriors, the US fleet is right in front of you. Charge for the sake of the great Japanese Empire for thousands of years!"
"Everyone pays attention to the direction of eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, twelve o'clock, and the enemy interceptor group appears!"
As the Ozawa fleet entered the Philippine Sea and the fleets of both sides discovered each other's existence, the largest aircraft carrier battle in history and the carrier-based air battle will soon begin.
"The Imperial Warriors who are escorting the formation, follow me and kill all the Americans!"
"The Empire Warriors of the bomber group, don't stop and keep rushing forward. Our primary goal is the US aircraft carrier!"
"Hurry up! Assault at full speed!"
Ten minutes later, the combat planes of both sides finally met.
At this time, US military aircraft should not be able to climb to the height of the Japanese aircraft group, which means that these US military aircraft have to watch Japanese aircraft whizzing past them but cannot intercept them.
The primary combat target of the Japanese aircraft fleet is naturally aircraft carriers, and it is by no means a group of battleships, cruisers and other battleships placed in the front with thick armor and strong air defense firepower.
So, after encountering the US interceptor group, the Japanese combat aircraft immediately ended with one point and two. Dozens of fighter jets began to dive fiercely and fiercely, while the dive bombers and torpedoes continued to rush forward desperately.
Seeing this, the commander of the US fighter fleet immediately distributed 30% of the troops to deal with the Japanese escort fighter jets, while most of the other aircraft were pursuing and intercepting the Japanese bomber fleet that was sprinting at full speed.
"Quick, fire immediately!"
"Don't let these damn bombers cross our air defense fire network!"
"Blow up these miscellaneous things!"
Due to insufficient altitude, the US interceptor group was unable to directly stop the Japanese bomber group flying at high altitude, and rushed into the US fleet first.
At this time, the US fleet air defense artillery, who had been preparing for a long time, naturally could not watch them cross their defense lines and go to the rear to cause trouble.
So when the Japanese planes entered the effective range of the fleet's anti-aircraft artillery fire, the densely packed air defense artillery of various caliber spewed out flames and fired a deadly metal storm into the sky for no money.
In an instant, I saw a dazzling light flashing everywhere in the huge sea area, rolling smoke churned everywhere, and bright green lights drew out from the sky, just like a heavy rain that was airtight, blocking the way forward of the Japanese bomber group tightly.
At present, the US military has begun to fully use new anti-aircraft shells equipped with near-explosion fuses.
This type of shell can detect whether an aircraft has entered its explosion kill range. Once it enters its explosion kill range, it will detonate, and its hit efficiency is several times that of traditional air-defense shells.
In the late Pacific War, half of the aircraft shot down by anti-aircraft artillery shells were used. Because of the use of VT fuze shells, Japan played a key role when it launched the Kamikaze suicide attack, making it more difficult for Japanese aircraft to attack US ships.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even blind cats can meet dead mice, not to mention such dense near-explosion fuse anti-aircraft shells. As the US warship group opened fire and intercepted them, one Japanese bomber after another was volleyed and exploded into pieces.
"Bagaya Road! How could this air defense firepower be so powerful!"
"Please bless God Amaterasu!"
"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"
"The warriors of the Great Japanese Empire are invincible!"
The dense anti-aircraft artillery fire came, and the vision was full of terrifying deathly beams.
Even though the pilots of the Japanese bomber group were as hard as iron and fearless of life and death, they couldn't help but feel numb at this time, and they felt that they had approached the hell thunder pool, and violent lightning would be bombarded into pieces anytime and anywhere.
Especially when they saw the landlines of compatriots not far away, they were blown up in the air, and huge fireworks bloomed, making earth-shaking explosions, their hearts were hanging in their throats, and their blood pressure soared rapidly.
However, at this time, these Japanese pilots had no choice but to choose to charge without any brainstorm and pray for their great Amaterasu blessing.
At this moment, even if death cannot be avoided, it will at least be valuable, and can throw bombs and torpedoes on the plane and pull a few more Americans to take the lead.
After a desperate charge, after paying the price of 28 aircraft, 42 Japanese bombers and 5 torpedo aircraft successfully broke through the firepower interception of the battleship group at the forefront.
"Baga, the way! Damn Americans, it's your price to pay the price of bleeding!"
"Imperial Warriors, kill me!"
"Imperial, I must sink their aircraft carriers. If I fail, I will be successful!"
Finally, I broke through the suffocating air defense network. I felt relieved in front of me. After the pressure was greatly reduced, the Japanese pilots became even more violent and bloodthirsty, and only one thought was left in my mind.
That is, you must be tooth for an eye for an eye, and you must make the deaths of yourself and your compatriots worth it, and you must not lose all your money.
Soon, the Japanese pilots began to press the nose of the aircraft and rushed towards the aircraft carrier parked in the distance.
"Oh, Fark!"
"Hurry, hurry up, rush up and beat those damn Japanese guys!"
"Gentlemen, chase at full speed!"
Chapter completed!
