At this time, all ships of the Japanese special mixed fleet moved forward at a speed of 20 knots and made snake-like maneuvers, making it difficult for the US attack aircraft group to find the best bomb drop point.

More than 20 warships plowed waves on the sea, and looked very majestic and majestic from the air.

In particular, the [Shokhe] aircraft carrier is like a fire dragon sailing on the sea, serpentine avoiding maneuvers forward, which looks very spectacular. After the No. 214 wildcat succeeded with one blow and quickly left, the sailors on the aircraft carrier desperately tried to put out the fire. Due to the disintegrating zero battle on the flight deck, this aircraft carrier could not take off and land the fighter in a short period of time.

The actions of all the American bombers puzzled the Japanese. They took the air fortress and b25 that followed the stand-alone column. They did not immediately launch an attack, but flew over the head of the [Ruihe] aircraft carrier at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

The SBD Fearless Diving Bomber landed at the end of the fleet, with a flight altitude of 7,500 meters and a few nautical miles away. It slowly flew in without any rush. Above the rear of the SBD Fearless, there were three wildcat squadrons.

The aerial fortress bombed Berlin, Germany during the day in 1940, and has become famous since then. The Japanese naturally knew how powerful this bomber was.

[Ruihe] The Type 89 40-caliber 120mm anti-aircraft guns of aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers and destroyers fired at the same time, firing out barrage. The 23-kilogram shells exploded into colorful barrage in the azure sky, like blooming fireworks.

In response to this, the aerial fortress and b25 were dismissed. The 23-kilogram bomb exploded 500 meters below them, like a welcome fireworks. The crew saw the huge Japanese fleet for the first time, constantly using the onboard cameras to capture the invaders.

Nagashi Yuntaka held a telescope in one hand and switched his eyes from the [Shokawa] aircraft carrier to the air. No matter how powerful the No. 214 Wildcat was, his airborne machine gun would not pose a fatal threat to the aircraft carrier, and the fire would be extinguished soon.

Looking at the Michiji in the air, Nanyun's face was still calm on his wooden face, but there was surprise and confusion in his eyes:

Why can't the firing height of the Type 89 120mm anti-aircraft gun reach the aerial fortress and the b25? Could it be that the flying height of this bomber exceeds 10,000 meters?

The American aircraft group is like a row of geese, swaying, and does not avoid the artillery fire of the special mixed fleet. Do they know in advance that the anti-aircraft guns of our fleet are high?

Also, the American aircraft fleet does not drop bombs. What are they trying to do?

Nakayama guessed correctly. The US aircraft group had already known in advance that the high firing of the special mixed fleet's anti-aircraft guns.

On the Chinese battlefield, Zhou Zhihan, who had fought countless fierce battles with the Japanese, naturally knew that the actual firing height of the Japanese anti-aircraft naval guns. Before setting off, he told all US pilots that the maximum firing height of the Japanese fleet's anti-aircraft artillery was 9,600 meters. Since the Battle of Songhu to the present, the Japanese fleet's anti-aircraft artillery still has.

From this we can also see that the disadvantages of Japan's domestic resource scarcity have begun to appear. This is because the Japanese front has been stretched too long and invaded the entire Southeast Asia, resulting in signs of lag in its domestic material supply and weapon research.

This is also one of the reasons why Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, which allowed the Pacific Fleet to fail to sail out of Pearl Harbor within half a year to a year, so that Japan could get more war resources in the Philippines and Malaysia to ease domestic pressure.

The battle came too quickly, and Toshito Yamaguchi could only stay on the [Akagi]. His [Flying Dragon] was taken over by the deputy captain. He also held up a telescope and couldn't understand what the Americans wanted to do.

Looking at the thick smoke on the flight deck, which was soaring into the sky, a terrible thought suddenly appeared in Yamaguchi's mind. Did the Americans find that the aircraft carrier of the [Shokawa] were fatal weaknesses?

Two years ago, Yamaguchi Tsudo, whose military insights are superior, discovered that the fatal weakness of the aircraft carriers of the [Shokawa] and [Ruihe] is that there are major loopholes in avoiding enemy aircraft penetration. This loophole is in the Asian battlefield because Asian countries, especially Chinese fighter jets, have aging performance and are not obvious.

For example, the two aircraft carriers do not have frontal intercepting anti-aircraft artillery on the bows and cannot cope with enemy aircraft that are penetrating frontal, which is the biggest defensive weakness.

Moreover, when the speed of these two aircraft carriers reaches more than 15 knots, the roll angle will appear too large when avoiding enemy bombs, resulting in the intensification of the swaying of the flight deck. In this case, it is difficult to retract or release the fighter, which is extremely unfavorable for aircraft carrier naval battles with carrier-based aircraft as the fist.

The roll angles of aircraft carriers such as Akagi, [Flying Dragon], [Kaga] are 3 degrees, while the roll angles of [Shoku] and [Suzuki] are 20 degrees. In this case, if the enemy's attack is serpentine maneuvered, the light carrier-based aircraft can barely take off, but the ship explosion and ship attack will fall into the sea.

At that time, Yamaguchi Toshito was like the military headquarters that proposed the requirements to transform the defense capabilities of these two aircraft carriers, but it was not taken seriously.

The military believes that even if the Chinese discovered the weaknesses of these two aircraft carriers, they were powerless. It was simply a dream to try to severely damage the [Shock He] with Chinese pilots and those old and staggering fighter jets.

The most blunt weight boxer, it is useless to find that the weakness of the super heavyweight boxer is.

It is one thing to know the opponent's weakness, but it is another thing to know whether it can hit the weakness and cause lethality.

Are these Americans trying to show off their strength? Harada Mizuki stared at the air fortress and the b25 bomber, muttering to himself that he is a master of naval warfare, and his understanding of carrier-based aircraft is far less than that of his old classmate Shinta.

Yamaguchi Tsuda's voice was anxious: "Commander, the US aircraft attempted to attack from the front of the [Shoka]. The Chinese man Zhou Zhihan knew the weakness of our aircraft carrier.

I think the fighters on [Akagi] and [Kaga] should be taken off immediately to intercept them, so that they should not turn around easily in front and attack [Shoka] head-on."

Yamaguchi Tsuto's suggestion should be said to be relatively wise and positive. Although he saw that Zero fighter jets would not pose a substantial threat to the air fortress and the B25, it could at least disrupt the attack formation of the US aircraft fleet.

When bombers attack, they focus on formation. If they are chaotic, they will be chaotic when they are dropped.

Yamaguchi Tsuta is recognized as having outstanding talents and strong observation skills in the navy, and is likely to become the successor of General Yamamoto, which is deeply hated by Nagamo.

But Nagamoto and Iroku Yamamoto have the same quality, that is, they can maintain calmness on their faces at any time, and it is difficult to see his psychological activities.

Tadaichi Nakumo didn't say anything, but turned his eyes to Mitsuo Tsuda and Chief of Staff Kusato.

Kusara said: "The reclaimed carrier-based aircraft are being dropped into the hangar from [Akagi] and [Kaga]. It will take at least five minutes for the zero-type outbound."

Mizuo Furida looked in the air and was silent for a few seconds: "I think that the b25 and the fortress in the air are just feints. They only dare to drop bombs above our anti-aircraft guns, and there is no threat. The SBD fearless dive bomber that flew over slowly was the main force of the attack. As long as they were defending them and wait for the carrier-based aircraft on several other aircraft carriers to take off, they could encircle and annihilate them."

It's slow to say that it actually took a short time to attack from the No. 214 Wildcat to fly from the air fortress above the Japanese fleet.
