On the Osumi aircraft carrier bridge, Onodera Gonori looked at the distant sea with a pale face. Before the two sides' aircraft groups had even fought, their Waseda destroyer was sunk first. You should know that it was the most advanced destroyer of the Japanese army. It was once known as enough to shoot down any invading aircraft. At this moment, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face and had a huge impact on the morale of the Japanese army.

However, Onodera Gonori was not discouraged. He still had dozens of warships to escort, so he should be able to share a lot of attack pressure.

At this time, a small group of Tang army attack aircraft groups gradually dived downwards and attacked the warships outside the Japanese fleet. Obviously, they did not let go of any Japanese warships and wanted to kill all the entire Japanese fleet.

Five or six minutes later, all Japanese carrier-based fighters had taken off and took off. They immediately formed a formation and joined forces with the fighters that had taken off before to face the invading Tang army aircraft group in a defensive posture.

In an instant, hundreds of fighter jets from Tang and Ri strangled together, and a fierce air battle broke out.

The Tang army's Raptor war has the advantages of armor protection and strong firepower over the Japanese Type 96 war. The 7.7mm caliber machine guns carried by the thin armored Type 96 war are difficult to cause damage to the key parts even if they hit Tang army aircraft. Conversely, once the 20mm caliber machine guns carried by the Tang army's Raptor war hit the Japanese aircraft, it will immediately cause fatal destructive power to the other party.

As soon as the fire broke out, more than a dozen Japanese planes were shot down. They either exploded in the air or fell to the sea with their long flames.

But soon several Tang army aircraft were shot down, and their only weakness was the cockpit glass. The Japanese army had discovered this after years of fighting with the Tang army, so the Japanese pilots opened fire at the cockpit of the Tang army aircraft as much as possible, and penetrated the windshield to kill Tang army pilots, thus achieving the goal of shooting down the opponent's plane.

However, to achieve this attack effect, two Japanese aircraft often require cooperation. One of them sacrificed itself to attract the Tang army fighter jets to open fire on it, and the other Japanese aircraft dived from above to fire to shoot down the Tang army aircraft. However, the Tang army aircraft is also a formation of two aircraft or a formation of three aircraft. At this time, the other or two Tang army fighter jets will take the opportunity to shoot down the second Japanese aircraft.

In this way, Japanese aircraft often have to pay two fighter jets to shoot down a Tang army aircraft. And there is a certain probability that if they cannot hit the Tang army pilots in the first time, it will be difficult to shoot down the Tang aircraft.

This loss was a huge loss for the Japanese army, but they had no choice but to win opportunities through tactics.

The two armies of Tang and Japanese armies strangled together. A melee broke out, and soon the clever Japanese fighter jets began to give up fighting head-on with Tang fighter jets. They began to go around in circles, looking for the Tang army hellfire ships with aviation bombs and aviation torpedoes to attack.

Since the Type 96 ship warfare is equipped with a French-made aviation engine, it is not weaker than that of Raptors in terms of speed. Therefore, this tactical action can be carried out.

However, the Tang army's Hell Fire Ship is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It is also thick in armor and has no weak speed, so it is difficult for Japanese fighter jets to shoot it down.

As a result, a dramatic scene appeared on the battlefield. The Japanese Type 96 fighter jets chased the Tang army's Hell Fire Ship, and the Tang army's Raptors battle chased the Japanese Type 96 ships in the rear. Both sides circled around the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group.

The Tang army's Hell Fire Ship naturally wanted to bomb Japanese aircraft carriers or other warships. It was not easy to start by being bitten by Japanese planes. They could only keep going around in circles and look for opportunities.

At the same time, the Japanese warships on the sea did not stop firing. They fired violently at a Tang army fighter plane, occasionally shooting down one or two Tang army planes.

After this melee lasted for about twenty minutes, after some observation, Colonel Zhao Wenyi, an air officer of the Tang army, quickly made a judgment on the spot, and ordered the Tang army fighter formation to give up chasing Japanese fighter jets, but instead blocked the Japanese fighter jets following the Tang army bombers in a pick-and-roll manner, allowing the Tang army bombers to get rid of entanglement and dive bombing Japanese ships or horizontally project torpedoes.

The Tang army pilots were well-trained and had rich combat experience. Zhao Wenyi only needed a little mention, and the pilots of each flight squadron, squad and team knew what to do.

Then, they divided some of the wingmen to give up the enemy planes that had been chasing their tails and went around the Tang army bombers and Japanese fighters, and suddenly dived and intercepted the Japanese fighters in a pick-and-roll manner, so that the Tang army bombers in front could escape from the Japanese plane's tails and get the opportunity to attack Japanese ships.

Over the Japanese Osumi aircraft carrier, three Tang army Hellfire carrier-based bombers were given the opportunity to dive down and make sharp whistles.

The Japanese air defense artillery on the Osumi aircraft carrier immediately opened fire at three Tang army bombers with all their might, intertwining them into a dense air defense firepower network.

Three Tang army bombers rushed forward bravely, and artillery shells exploded around from time to time, causing the fighter to tremble, but the Tang army pilots still looked firm and were not afraid.

The front-line aircraft attracted the most Japanese artillery fire attacks and was suddenly hit. The pilot died on the spot. The bomber dragged a long flame and fell down. Since it was almost vertical dive bombing at the beginning, even if the Tang army's bomber was hit, it would fall to the Osumi.

boom!

The Tang army bomber crashed on the flight deck of the Osumi. Two 500-level aviation bombs carried on the plane were detonated, instantly breaking through the Osumi's flight deck armor, blowing up a black hole more than two meters wide, affecting the three-layer area below, causing severe damage to the Osumi in an instant.

At this time, the other two Tang army bombers had dived to a height of about 500 meters above the Osumi, and dropped two aviation bombs under the belly of the aircraft, and then quickly lifted them up.

Four 500 kilogram-class aviation bombs fell down, and the Japanese troops below were stunned and hurriedly fled to all directions. Even the Japanese troops on several anti-aircraft artillery positions forgot to open fire, allowing the two Tang army bombers to take the opportunity to escape.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

Two bombs hit the starboard bridge and penetrated into the underground layer and exploded. The huge explosion force instantly shattered most of the bridge above. A flame erupted like earth fire, shooting hundreds of meters high in the sky, turning into a huge ball of black smoke.

At the same time, two other aviation bombs hit the port side aircraft carrier air defense gun position. Four 120mm caliber anti-aircraft guns were instantly blown up, and the gun mount and barrel separated and flew to the sea hundreds of meters away and fell.

Then came a series of big explosions, surrounded by twelve artillery positions connected in parallel, filled with anti-aircraft shells. At this time, they exploded together, and suddenly a sea of ​​fire. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers died on the spot. The dozen smart Japanese soldiers had not yet run twenty meters away, and were also blown away by the explosion shock wave. They fell to their noses and faces, and were seriously injured.
