The only heavy patrol of the attack ship group on the right side, when they found that their air defense firepower was wasted and they had no chance to hit the elusive enemy planes in the air, they decisively chose to retreat. The speed and the quick movements were astonishing as they were!

The 24 Skyhawk attack aircraft also consumed all the heavy bombs at one time. The first time they officially went to fight, they did not use all the loads for safety reasons. Otherwise, with their abnormal loading capacity of up to six tons, it would not be a problem to carry six missiles of 500 kilograms.

After hovering around in the sky, all the attack aircraft took photos and left.

On the left, the US night attack aircraft group was still entangled with the carrier-based aircraft of the South China Sea Fleet, but Major General Mitchell received a telegram without any obstacles, especially the escaped heavy patrol and the destroyer circling on the periphery. The continuous terrifying content sent by the disastrous content made his muscles and bones look like they had been pulled at one time, and he shook it twice, almost unable to stand firm.

"The two Yamato ships are gone like this? The entire attack, from beginning to end, is not five minutes?! What kind of battle is this!"

It's a ridiculous statement! What is the concept of a battleship full of 76,000 tons? It is a monster built with the most solid steel in the world and in the most scientific structure. In theory, even if it encounters a hurricane, it can be safe and sound. The earthquake and volcano may not be able to destroy it. An ordinary bomb, even if it is 1,000 pounds, will only blow up a pit when it hits it, but it will never be damaged.

Moreover, the air defense firepower provided by each warship is enough to turn a square kilometer into a forbidden area of ​​death. No matter how strong the aircraft is, it will end up being broken into pieces when you drill in. So, what exactly is it that can be destroyed like that?!

I can't understand it!

Chief of Staff Scott was nervous and sweating! He couldn't believe that this was true. If it was undoubtedly false news, it was valuable. The judgments made by the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan were ridiculous speculations. And the most serious thing was that the speculations on the attack capabilities of the Chinese Navy were too low. They were so low that it was laughable!

If it is true, then everything the current US Navy has, all targeted military equipment and deployment, will become a big joke! Not only will it be impossible to stop the opponent's attack, but in the end, it will be like the two Yamato ships. If you don't even see what the enemy is like, you will be blown to a halt!

That's what the telegram said. From beginning to end, none of the ships could clearly see what kind of guy was launching the attack. The only two battleships that received the radar signal were now finished. The entire command system was destroyed. The bridge was blown up alive, the entire deck was burning, and it was flooded everywhere, and it was completely helpless!

Major General Mitchell waved his hand as if he was weak: "Okay. I believe they are true for the time being, then. Our strategy must be adjusted quickly. Well, let the attack aircraft group continue to increase the siege, and be sure not to let the Chinese make room for free. Air alerts must be strengthened. The main ship... moves outward immediately!"

Stop fighting? Chief of Staff Scott was stunned and then understood. Perhaps, only by adopting such a strategy would be correct. He quickly wrote it down and conveyed it. Then, he bit the pencil tip, frowned and thought nervously for a moment, and suggested: "General! Maybe we can think from another perspective. Could it be that from the very beginning, the Chinese had already guessed some of our strategic deployments and adopted the method of using tricks to lure us into division of troops to attack?"

Mitchell shook his head: "That doesn't matter! The battlefield in the Bay of Bengal is actually transparent to both the enemy and us. Their targets are small and their attack power is large, so they can choose to attack or retreat easily. And we have reasons to insist on fighting. From the beginning, the situation is destined. However, we did not expect that their attack power would be so powerful quickly!"

The coalition's impression of the Chinese navy was still last year. At that time, the powerful US Pacific Navy launched an attack with an apparently absolute advantage under the command of outstanding generals like Nimitz. As a result, everyone saw it.

In those battles, Chinese carrier-based aviation did not play much role. From beginning to end, they passively intercepted the attack force of the ship. The main attacks were mostly completed by the main guns of powerful battleships.

This also invisibly caused a great misleading direction to the coalition forces, that is, battleships did not completely die out due to the rise of aircraft carriers. The Chinese Navy has proved with facts that as long as the technology is advanced and the weapons are equipped with excellent and scientifically, the battleships, the steel monster, can still play a huge role in the main force, and the fierce firepower projection of sea-to-ground-to-air and air is the only magic weapon for melee.

Especially the Japanese who were extremely obsessed with giant ship cannonism, had full confidence in this.

Although the British themselves had the trick of aircraft carriers, they did not form a real sea-air integrated tactic due to the lack of aviation power. However, the Americans with the most conditions did not have a clear conclusion because they had too much money and too many warships.

The combination of various conditions made the coalition forces mistakenly believe that the threat of aircraft carriers to battleships has not yet reached the level of allowing this guy to completely withdraw. Just look at the Chinese people's use method... Unconsciously, they have actually secretly regarded the Chinese Navy as a powerful role model, not an emerging rookie. Nothing else, if you can debut for a few years, no one dares to say anything!

However, they all ignored the most critical question, that is, why did the Chinese do that so that battleships can be immune to air attacks, or sufficiently defensive? Can the coalition itself follow the examples in a short period of time?

Today, the answer is clear. The current equipment power of the coalition forces, even if they turn a Yamato ship into a multi-turret monster with more than 200 gun barrels, they will still be defeated in the face of a sharper jet attack aircraft!

Similarly, today's battle also confirms the previous speculation that the Chinese Air Force does not have the ability to destroy the navy as the main one. On the contrary, it is a view that the powerful countries have become a laughing stock - Zhu Bin is reluctant to sacrifice the pilot, so he does not allow them to serve as the main attackers of the ship. It is very likely that it is true! The reason why he didn't do that before was that the weapons in the air attack were not advanced enough and the safety level was not high enough.

This kind of judgment sounds ridiculous. It is not the emotion that a commander should have, but facts are facts. If you put them in front of you, it is useless if you don’t admit it!

Major General Mitchell thought a lot in this short time. He had thought about the various judgments of the naval generals on the Chinese, and the various absurd conclusions drawn by the General Staff and the Intelligence Department. There were all strange and eccentric parties, including many reliable calm parties, but most of them were photographed by fanatical nationalists. Even these elites in the so-called civilized world who claimed to be free, democratic, and peaceful naturally came to the ridiculous conclusion that "only white people can invent advanced weapons and master science and technology, and yellow people are only suitable to pull carts, wash dishes, walk dogs and sweep the streets."

Of course, Americans have done a lot of this kind of thing. At least they now generally believe that black people cannot master complex machinery, so they don’t even need black people to recruit soldiers. Those who are barely stuffed in can only be infantry or machine gunner chefs, pilots? Don’t joke! Command warships? Are you telling fairy tales?

The unscrupulous and overly open American society, all kinds of bad trends have been brought to the army. Many of the intelligence analysis results are similar to those produced by astrology masters or witchcraft divination. I just use this method to command the battle. I really don’t know what those orthodox and rigorous soldiers feel!

It is expected that the enemy will be lenient! Mitchell made his own clear judgment and immediately maneuvered his aircraft carrier and escort ship backwards. The left attack group led by two Iowa-class battleships stopped moving inward and circumvented. Instead, retreated outward. At least, don't expect the air strike to succeed--if the air strike succeeds, the battleship will go up, just to replenish the gun.

"It is time to change strategies and tactics and completely abandon any unrealistic delusions!"

Major General Mitchell actually had an epiphany at this moment! He understood that without inventing such as ultra-long-range anti-ship missiles as Chinese, rocket air defense that can intercept airplanes on surfaces, and efficient artillery that can accurately hit aircraft. Multi-barrel machine gun cannons that use fast bullets to intercept heavy aircraft, as well as indispensable high-performance radars...etc., etc., all of which are equipped with battleships, then letting them rush forward with only traditional artillery fire will be seriously irresponsible to die.

Let others do that. Mitchell, he, will not do it to that extent.

Moreover, a real war has never been just a head-on battle. What is the mission of the 19th Fleet? Stop the enemy's South China Sea Fleet from capturing Chittagong and Yangon, prevent them from landing and surrounding each other, and completely isolate the battlefield of the Indochina Peninsula.

So, there is actually no need to directly eliminate them. I just need to block the Bay of Bengal, restrain the main force of the South China Sea Fleet, prevent them from acting calmly, or even let them escape, and then seek opportunities and tactics to completely destroy them, wouldn't it be enough?

In the final analysis, one word is removed!

Fortunately, at this time, the two Iowa battleships were still fifty nautical miles away from the target forward. Those open-circuit destroyers were not able to launch long-range attacks. However, even 20 nautical miles closer, it was very dangerous! Because the Chinese warships not only had anti-ship missiles, but also ultra-long-range special shells, which were hard to defend!

Therefore, following his latest order, the right attacking squadron left only a part of the rescue destroyer, the only heavy patrol and other ships, decisively abandoned the Yamato ship, which was doomed to be destroyed, and retreated to the right-wing Yangon direction, seeking to meet with the first group of fleets that set off.

The air attack group seemed to be injected with chicken blood. The original lukewarm attack was suddenly fierce!

Especially the f7f night fighter equipped with torpedoes, from the fire suppression and command role of three joint attack groups, they suddenly became the main attacker. The two engines were fully powered, one after another, and even spewed out fire, firing frantically at low altitude while sprinting rapidly!

The f6f modified fighter equipped with a jet engine is completely ignoring the life of the thing. In addition, the propeller engine operates with full power, and the original version's maximum speed of 616 kilometers per hour has been increased to 720 kilometers. The huge and stout fuselage is like a sleeper wrapped in steel, rushing around in the sky!

They are using their strong body and fierce firepower as weapons, and they are playing hand-to-hand combat with those agile Chinese fighters! Even dog fights, they are really a real hard collision!

This move is too perverted, especially Chinese pilots, who are very uncomfortable with the Japanese-style "Kamikaze Special Attack". Zhu Bin has always instilled that every pilot is very precious and cannot be sacrificed easily unless it is absolutely necessary. If the aircraft breaks, it can be rebuilt. If the person is gone, it will not be trained for three to five years!

The "Flying Shark Wall" that was blocking the front immediately struggled!

The fighting bullets they carry are limited after all, facing two or three times their enemies. After they are shot, they are cracked by the missiles. With just one shot, it is difficult to shoot down a guy like f7f in one fell swoop. And those f6f and ultimate zero battles are blowing with thick smoke, screaming, and rushing up to hit them directly. This is a bit too cruel!

Fighters that can reach a speed of up to 700 kilometers per hour have the power of desperate impact. They are enough to kill a destroyer! And as long as the engine is not completely destroyed or one side of the wing is broken, they can often break through the fire blocking with a certain control ability. The crazy energy of a dying shot is really unbearable!

When they dealt with the Flying Shark Wall, although the interception efficiency has been greatly increased, the formation has been seriously damaged. There are always loopholes!

"Damn it! The foreigners have taken expired aphrodisiacs, and they are desperate to play! They can't stop it and cannot stop it. Call for reinforcements! Call for reinforcements!"

The pilots sent out a shameful request for help for the first time.

On the flagship that was marching with the battleship, Chen Ce had already discovered something was wrong. The Skyhawk attack aircraft was successful, which was reasonable, but the enemy aircraft suddenly increased its attack strength, which made him feel moved. Combined with the reconnaissance information of secretly monitoring the abnormal movements of several other enemy ships, he quickly reacted: "No! The Americans are not good at seeing things, and they want to withdraw!"

Whether it was a complete withdrawal or a strategic maneuver, it was the same for him. There was no second way to deal with the strategy. He ordered the fleet to drive at full speed and continue to move forward without hesitation. At the same time, several "tiger shark" squadrons hovering around immediately rushed to the front line to help intercept. On the three aircraft carriers, two "Flying Dragon" jet fighter brigades took off from the front and tilted the runway together, forming a two-plane at a time, and quickly took off to fight!

Chen Ce was not in a hurry to let the Air Force continue to launch an attack on the ship. From the beginning, he also understood that the Americans should have guessed that they must have dug a hole here and waited for them to jump in. The Americans adopted such a tactic, which also showed that they must have other backup plans. The two sides were showing off their own cleverness and saw who could laugh to the end.

Now, I have just revealed a little muscle and killed two Yamato ships with thunder. I guess it will be quite shocked to the US military. In fear, they have to avoid the edge for the time being.

However, it would be too simple to think that it would be too simple to break the deadlock!

Chen Ce sneered very bluntly: "If you see something bad, you want to escape? There is no such good thing in the world! I want to see how far you can retreat! Force in! Keep pushing in!"

Can you withdraw? OK, I see if you dare to retreat to the Indian Ocean!

The "Tiger Shark" aircraft group on patrol and alerted quickly, suppressing the crazy enemy aircraft that had just made a breakthrough, and kept peeking at other enemy aircraft on the side when they saw the loopholes, they rushed in. If they were so dark, if they took the opportunity to throw the torpedo out at close range, the chance of success was too high!

But when you rushed in, you would look like a 10 or 20 kilometers. The first wave of six "flying dragons" took off roared. Without wasting precious fighting bullets, the engine after driving the afterburner increased their climbing speed to a rocket-like number. The stability of the large delta-wing body was challenged unprecedentedly. It rushed into the air like a sharp sword, and two dazzling flames were released in front of it, and three-tube 25mm cannons shot long!

Several enemy planes exploded and caught fire, especially when both sides attacked each other. The cannon swept over and hit the head engine and the flight cockpit directly. Once they hit, they would be seriously injured!

The sudden blow surprised the US pilot. The one who followed behind quickly maneuvered the roller. He was impatient and saw that the height was similar. He simply hovered and stabilized, then dived to the limit, threw out the torpedo decisively, and then continued to maneuver, shaking his way around and dodging left and right, climbing upwards and finding angles to the point of view, and exerting its maneuverability, refusing to admit defeat!

Seven or eight airborne torpedoes hit the sea one after another, most of them were around five kilometers away, which was obviously impossible to run in front of the target, but maybe they could hit the dead rat. As long as they hit, they would make a lot of money!

In the dark night, the US military seemed to be more crazy than during the day! It completely ignored the high maneuverability of the aircraft, which made the fuselage creak and groan constantly, but it was worth it to be fired by a rough cannon!

The above of the South China Sea Fleet became a dangerous place where both sides fought in the air! It is possible at any time that enemy planes broke through and attacked the warships.

This is a very unfavorable situation. No matter how advanced the radar is, even if there is an enemy-to-me recognition system, it is a bit difficult to hunt accurately without accidental injury.
Chapter completed!
