Chapter 595: The War on Saipan
Lao Luo thought about it well, and he hoped to get Nimitz's naval fleet to support before Saipan was taken down.
It's just a pity that all this is possible?
On August 28, 1938, Chen Chengzhang and Ren Fei ordered the team to rest for one night before moving towards Saipan.
In the afternoon of that day, Chen Chengzhang and Ren Fei ordered the team to attack Citi, and the attack method was still the same.
Show the support of the naval gun, and then blow them up for a while.
However, the difference between this time and the last time was that when Chen Chengzhang ordered the battleships to provide naval gun support, Citi was not willing to passively defend.
There is a torpedo brigade and a dive bomber brigade on Saipan Island. They immediately sent the torpedo brigade and dive bomber brigade.
Another HNA was also escorting them, with more than 200 Wildcat carrier-based aircraft.
Their target is not the Sky City-class battleship. Because they knew when the Hawaii was attacked, their torpedoes were useless for this super battleship with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons.
So they targeted the five aircraft carriers brought by Chen Chengzhang.
Here, Citi's torpedo brigade and dive bomber brigade have just arrived above the beach, and a group of black fighter jets flew out of the clouds.
Countless Black Hawk fighters targeted the dive bombers and torpedo planes in front. Amid the sound of air gun shooting, more than 30 dive bombers became torches during the first round of attacks of Black Hawk fighters.
Interestingly, there was a dive bomber with a little bit of luck, and the pilots inside even parachuted was a luxury.
Why?
Because the cannon shell of a Black Hawk fighter jet hit the aviation bomb under his belly, the dive bomber suddenly became an air torch.
The first wave of Black Hawks' attack can be said for a long time, but in fact they happened in this flash.
Then, before those Wildcat carrier-based aircraft and other aircraft could react to what was going on, the group of Black Hawk fighters turned their noses and quickly disappeared into the eyes of those Wildcat carrier-based aircraft.
Looking at the black fighter jets that left with one blow, the Citi pilot was still a little stunned. They didn't expect what was going on.
After a few seconds again, they finally realized that they were ambushed by carrier-based aircraft of the Han Empire.
The commander of this operation, looking at the more than 30 dive bombers that fell, felt his heart bleeding.
This is nearly half of the number of dive bombers!
There was only one brigade of dive bombers, and more than 30 were killed this time.
"Torpedo planes and dive bombers return immediately, and the remaining carrier-based aircraft cover bombers and torpedo planes to return. Also be ready to fight at any time!"
After the Citi commander finished speaking, he sent a message to the airport again, asking them to send planes to receive dive bombers and torpedoes immediately.
But they were going to fight. He didn't believe that the carrier-based aircraft of the Han Empire would only attack once like this, they would definitely attack.
Although he was stunned just now, when he looked back, there were at least about 200 Black Hawk fighter jets just now.
So now he must retreat and protect these dive bombers and torpedoes to retreat.
You know, facing the navy of the Han Empire, dive bombers and torpedo aircraft were the only way they could deal with naval warships.
If all these things were damaged, they would not have the slightest power to fight back when facing the navy of the Han Empire.
Well, this Citi commander thought it was pretty good, but it showed that he gave him a blow.
Whether it is a dive bomber or a torpedo, their speed is not too high. Even if the Black Hawk fighter goes back, he easily catches up with them.
"Survey bombers and torpedoes!"
The Citi commander said something and turned around and turned around to welcome the attack of the Black Hawk fighter jet.
"boom"
An explosion sounded beside him.
Andrier, a captain of the Navigation Division, has the rank of colonel.
He turned his head gently and looked at the wildcat carrier-based aircraft that exploded beside him and knew that the plane was not lucky. It was the explosion that the fuel tank was blown up.
The air battle above the sky attracted everyone's attention.
Citi has two HNA divisions and more than 400 Wildcat carrier-based aircraft here.
And Chen Chengzhang brought five aircraft carriers.
Each aircraft carrier can carry seventy-five Black Hawk carrier-based aircraft, plus five backup Black Hawk carrier-based aircraft, and one aircraft carrier has eighty Black Hawk carrier-based aircraft to use.
The five aircraft carriers are 400 Black Hawk carrier-based aircraft. Yesterday, they attacked Guam and lost about twenty Black Hawk carrier-based aircraft.
Therefore, the Han Empire had three hundred Black Hawk carrier-based aircraft to fight more than 400 Wildcat carrier-based aircraft.
The number gap between the two sides is not big, just a little bit, while the performance gap between the two sides is big.
The flexible, fast and high-responsive Black Hawk carrier-based aircraft uses practical actions to tell the world that the Wildcat carrier-based aircraft is vulnerable in front of him.
In order to control air supremacy, the two sides are constantly in air battles, and the planes of both sides are constantly being drawn up, as if they want to seize air supremacy as soon as possible.
After seeing the fierce air battle in the sky, Ren Fei immediately issued an order, ordering all teams to suspend their offensive plans and stand by on board first.
Now that such a fierce air battle is happening in the sky, the Air Force will definitely not be able to support itself.
During the landing war, if our side does not need the Air Force to provide support, it will probably increase the casualties of the team.
Ren Fei was still reluctant to let the Marines whom he worked hard to train were consumed here like this.
The air battle between the two sides in the air touches everyone's hearts.
Chen Chengzhang stood on his flagship to watch the air battle, while Ren Fei stood on the destroyer to watch the air battle.
On top of Saipan, there are two major generals watching the air battle.
"Gal! Our Air Force situation seems to be not very good. You see, our carrier-based aircraft suffers the most. If this situation does not change again, we are afraid we will be in trouble!"
Gail, Citi, is one of the two HNA division commanders on Saipan.
And the person who said this is called Angelo, who is another teacher.
