Chapter 22 The U.S. Navy

On June 18, 1936, just three days after Winston Churchill delivered his famous speech, a combat operation began with the goal of attacking Tokyo.

Surprisingly, when U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt agreed to this combat plan, he gave the combat plan provided by the U.S. Army Air Force a unique name - "Shangri-La"!

No one knows why the President of the United States gave this plan such a strange name, but judging from the scale of the troops dispatched, almost everyone can feel that their President, Franklin Roosevelt, has attached great importance to this "Shangri-La" operation.

focus on.

In order to realize this plan, Doolittle and his Army Air Force had two squadrons of 72 B1 bombers from the Federation of China, flying 9,000 kilometers to Guam Airport. B1 bombers with a transport range of up to 12,000 kilometers have never been carried out.

After one mid-air refueling, they flew to Guam. This flight alone was enough to surprise the U.S. Army Air Forces.

The Army Air Force then proposed to the company that produced the B29 to comprehensively improve the capabilities of the B29 long-range heavy bomber. Otherwise, the U.S. Army Air Force would reduce its orders for the B29 bomber and turn to the B1 bomber produced by the Chinese Federation.

Of course, for American manufacturers, this is nothing more than a threat. In addition, it is also a silent criticism of their short-sightedness in the field of military equipment technology.

The B1 bomber can only be a timely gunship in the Chinese Federation, but in the United States it has a nickname called the B-1 Albatross long-range heavy bomber. The reason why this bomber is named after this large bird is

This is because of its ultra-long range and huge bomb load.

This time is fundamentally different from what Tang Yunyang remembered when he used American B-25 twin-engine Mitchell medium bombers to take off from an aircraft carrier to bomb Tokyo, Japan. However, as far as the aggressive Yankees were concerned, the attack was like Pearl Harbor.

Failure to retaliate will cause everyone in the United States, from the president to a soldier on guard, to express the same dissatisfaction.

In addition, this attack mission, as it was re-planned by the U.S. Army Air Force's staff and more new elements were added, became a limited air strike mission launched by the United States against the Japanese army.

This time, in addition to the B1 long-range bomber carrying out the mission to attack Tokyo, Japan, some air carriers purchased by the United States from the Federation of China and equipped with razor rotor attack aircraft will also be deployed in Guam as the main force for air strikes and naval cooperation.

.

This air fleet is also part of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet. It consists of 5 air carriers carrying razor rotor attack aircraft and 10 air gunboats carrying droplets. Under the cover of 10 air carriers carrying Dysprosium-Z,

An attack will be launched on Japan's Ogasawara Islands to relieve the pressure on the US military on Guam in the face of the Japanese attack, and at the same time, it will also disrupt the time when the Japanese finally attack Guam.

If you are lucky enough, the ultimate goal will be to make the Guam military base receive more supplies from the United States before the Japanese attack. As for the Americans, as long as they have sufficient supplies, they can still continue to fight, even in the face of Japan

So do people!

Before the battle began, the fate of William Frederick Halsey Jr. took a dramatic turn. As a naval officer, from the day he received new equipment, he became a flying man in the sky.

Commander of the fleet.

As an air fleet composed of 25 airships, it carries a total of 180 razor rotor attack aircraft and 150 flying dysprosium fighter jets. It is basically equivalent to an aircraft carrier squadron of the U.S. Navy, with equivalent attack capabilities. The difference is that the fleet composed of these airships will

Affected by the climate, their mobility gives this air battleship formation better means of attack.

In addition to the 25 main battle airships, there are also 4 Hawkeyes and 2 refueling airships forming a support airship fleet.

"The navy flying in the sky...these people from the Chinese Federation have pretty good heads!"

General William Frederick Halsey Jr., nicknamed "Bull Halsey", looked out from a distance from his captain's seat. At this time, the sky was cloudless. He never thought that the Navy could also

Halsey, the bull flying in the sky, recalled what the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, Chester William Nimitz, told him.

"This is a new type of air power. Compared with previous naval power, this strike power is more sudden and accurate. As the sharp knife of the Pacific Fleet, Halsey, I leave them to you!"

Chester William Nimitz was promoted to lieutenant general last year and led the commander of the First Battleship Squadron. After the Pearl Harbor incident, he was promoted to admiral again. His promotion speed was the fastest in the United States.

It can be said to be the first in the navy, which makes many people feel incredible.

But this is not what Bull Halsey is concerned about. What he is concerned about now is how to make use of the air fleet in front of him. Nearly a month has passed since he took over the air fleet and was able to perform duties.

But he did not expect that just one month later, he would lead this air fleet to attack the Japanese on behalf of the U.S. Navy air fleet.

"The fleet took off, and the entire fleet formed a rapid marching formation. The Hawkeye formation moved forward to provide long-range early warning, and a fighter squadron provided close-range warning..."

Following his order, 18 airships took to the sky.

Originally, the U.S. Navy had no favorable impression of airships. Based on the results of World War I, almost everyone believed that this was an aircraft that would become obsolete. Even though the Chinese Federation used a large number of this equipment in airship transportation,

Except for the reconnaissance capabilities of the Hawkeye airship, the U.S. Navy has not completely changed its view.

But when William Frederick Halsey Jr. came into contact with the command manual of the air fleet, he was deeply shocked. The battleships of the air fleet already had silkworm guidance made by the United States.

Missile, this is a guided missile equivalent to the Chinese Federation Vi-S missile.

This is the result of Germany using the vi-s type missile produced by the Chinese Federation to kill people in Europe. The United States, which got the crashed missile, started producing this missile in just one month. Because it was purely plagiarized.

Even the missile production line came from the Federation of China, but it was partially modified in the United States.

In addition, guided bombs, which have no technical content, were completely independently developed by the Yankees. The "Paving Stone" TV-guided bomb is a glider-based bomb of the Chinese Federation. Although

The warhead is not as large as the German "Dandelion", but its flexibility is better than the German "Dandelion".

Just 10 air warships can carry up to 2,000 tons of precision-guided weapons. If the ammunition of 180 Razor attack aircraft is added, the offensive weapons carried by the entire fleet will be about 2,500 tons. And 2,500 tons of ammunition can already destroy a building.

A medium-sized city.

The US Navy's air fleet will leave Guam and fly towards Japan's Ogasawara Islands. It will execute a predetermined attack plan and will completely destroy the long-range radar system on the island after the attack. At the same time, some secret new equipment will also be used to destroy the Japanese.

Hawkeye airship, thereby making all preparations for Doolittle to lead a bomber group to attack Tokyo, Japan.

At the same time, a squadron of B-1 Albatross long-range heavy bombers in the U.S. Army Air Force began to conduct continuous daytime high-altitude bombing of the Ogasawara Islands, and only 24 of the bombers dropped bombs. This kind of thing everyone did not understand.

The action will continue until Doolittle leads his men to dispatch.

I believe that the Japanese, who are accustomed to this kind of air raid, will no longer treat such a thing as a big deal. Being accustomed to this kind of bombing will make them take it lightly in the subsequent official attack, thus causing Doolittle to lead

Two teams can drop 120 tons of bombs on Japan's capital, Tokyo.

Even when the Navy was dispatched and the Army Fleet Air Force fleet was dispatched, Doolittle was not idle. During the two-day preparation period, he still led his two attack teams to conduct intense low-altitude flight training.

Using long-range heavy bombers to fly at low altitudes at extremely high speeds is inherently risky. It is not a move that a mediocre bomber pilot can easily try.

"Lower...lower...don't be afraid of those damn sea langs. If they don't swallow us into the sea, then we can teach little Japan a lesson!"

12 giant heavy bombers were flying at a low altitude. In fact, the flight at this time was quite smooth. You may still remember the principle of ground effectors flying over the sea, and the explanation of the "Hand of God".

When the height of the wing from the ground is 15% of the wing length, the ground effect is most obvious, and the lift-to-drag ratio of the wing can be increased by more than 30%. This area is called the ground effect zone or jokingly known as the "Hand of God."
