Chapter 70 Bloody Road
In the early morning, when the sun just began to fall on earth, it should be the most attractive time for the wind of the sea. Well, as a northerner, I have never seen the sea or even the boat, but this has nothing to do with our story today.
It was originally a very comfortable morning, but on such an early morning, both Japanese and American soldiers were a day when they needed to continue fighting to the end.
Unlike the previous time when it seemed to be under raid, the US military used it to attack was a dignified fighter jet.
"Enemy planes approach, keep a distance, pay attention to avoiding..."
There were groups of people on the sea, and the razor rotor attack aircraft raised upwards. The US military officer led the team informed his subordinates of the bad news. He also looked at the sky with concern and muttered in his heart.
"God bless……!"
Using this rotorcraft that is mainly used to attack the ground is really an incomprehensible thing. But as soldiers, carrying out missions is not something they can picky about.
Due to the role of radar, the current naval battle can be said that the commanders of both sides are looking at a clear chess game. The only thing they are not sure about is the next action of the opponent's chess player. If the opponent wants to act according to his expectations, he may have to need some bait.
Probably the rotor attack aircraft that appeared on the sea today and were used as assault boats were baits. Just like the midway island naval battle in another time and space, those torpedo aircraft that attacked Japanese fighters without the cover of fighters. In the end, Tadakaichi Nagamoto was hesitant in the choice of attacking islands or attacking ships. The torpedoes that were temporarily replaced were placed on the deck, and were hit by the US dive bomber.
Of course, the experience of World War II may not be used in this war. This time, the Second Fleet was responsible for landing fire support, or the choice of Tadaichi Nagamoto would not have such problems.
But we have to say that this Ganjiang-class warship is not so strong in defense against such warships, except for air defense warships. Even the US military's own destroyers may not be easy to deal with. Especially, this kind of fighter jet is like a pack of wolves, which is really a force that people can't help but worry about when they appear in groups.
Therefore, the commander of the Japanese Navy's First Fleet, Tadashi Nakamoto, did not intend to let his Karma class air defense ship fight against such fighter jets.
Seaflying is not a difficult task for razor rotor attack aircraft. This benefit is just like those light bombers avoiding the pursuit of fighter jets, and it is much safer than high altitudes.
The Zero Fleet of Fighter Fleet, which was responsible for air defense in the Japanese fleet, could be seen, like the US fleet, Tadakaichi Nagamoto also bet on the attack on the US fleet. Air-optimal fighter jets such as Feidi-z are completely equipped in the attack aircraft group as pioneers.
"Note, they are here!"
With the voice of the commander of the US Razor Rotor Attack Group, the drivers of the Razor looked at the air above their heads, which were slightly blurred by the rotors. The neat formation of Zero was swooping down from the sky one by one.
"These little Japanese are like diving on high platforms...!"
The diving Japanese fighter jets began to shoot, and the bullets formed a series of white water splashes on the sea. The razor rotor attack aircraft on the sea also began to maneuver continuously.
The hit Razor Rotor Attack Plane dragged black smoke and plunged into the water. The speed of the Razor Rotor Attack Plane made several runs in a row. However, compared with those "fragile" fighters, the armor of the Razor Attack Plane is much thicker, although it does not play much role in the face of such a disaster.
The 12.7mm bullet was fired from four machine guns arranged on both sides of the fuselage of the Zero fighter. Although the bulletproof glass of these razor rotor attack aircraft is quite thick, it is still difficult to resist when facing the attack of the 12.7mm machine gun "Aviation Standard Ammunition Belt" bullet.
The pierced cabin immediately burst into smoke. The hit fighter pilot died in his seat and immediately lost control when he brought the fighter back. The remaining members shouted loudly, and while using their arms to block the smoke, they opened the call for help channel.
"My God, save me...I am the ** machine..."
"The ** plane is falling...we are falling...please help..."
In the communication channel, noisy calls for help appeared on Hawkeye's survival channel. Hawkeye, who received these calls for help, immediately dispatched a seaplane for life-saving purposes to rescue.
"Don't stop, pay attention to avoiding, we have accepted the goal..."
The leader of the American Razor Rotor Attack Plane shouted loudly to cheer up his men. Since their height was quite complete, he had just seen the mast of the opponent's warship.
As the loud shouting, the leader's officer flipped up from time to time, looking at the fighter jets that were sweeping down from the sky. Then he shook his joystick so that the fighter jets could shake their bodies to avoid them.
"It's really him. Damn, this is a massacre..."
He murmured in his heart, and saw that the fighter plane was flying in front of him, and was hit from time to time and fell to the sea. He had a very bad premonition in his heart, as if his fighter plane would rush into the waves ahead at any time.
At this moment, William Frederick Halsey, who was sitting on the command ship in the air, listened to the shouts from the speakers with a cold expression. Occasionally, his eyes looked at the war zone chart on the screen in front of him, which marked the locations of each aircraft group.
His fingers unconsciously touched the shaved chin, staring at the large group of machines that were getting closer and closer on the screen.
"I hope we don't have to sacrifice so much in vain!"
The symbols marked with orientation and height on the screen are just behind the side of the razor rotor attack aircraft, followed by groups of bombers following under the cover of fighters. Following behind the razor rotor attack aircraft at a low altitude is a Thunderbird multi-purpose bomber equipped with torpedoes.
Here we see that the main bombers configured on aircraft carriers, whether in Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, the United States, and France, are all fighters that can perform bombing missions or torpedo attacks. Perhaps this is all due to the reason why the Chinese Federal Defense Force Navy fleet used the multi-mission model "Pen Lei" for many years.
"Note, launch silkworm-guided missiles..."
Just as Bull Halsey was thinking about the battlefield situation, his combat executive began to launch "silk-type missiles" according to the planned steps. This kind of TV-guided missile using rocket engines will lead the Japanese fleet to conduct a raid several minutes before the razor rotor attack aircraft launches an attack.
The razor rotor attack aircraft flying in front of the entire attack cluster is obviously a means to attract those Japanese Zero fighters from high altitudes. The only hope of the Halsey Bulls is that when the real main attack aircraft group arrives, Japan's air defense fighters have consumed too much ammunition and oil.

At this time, Tadaichi Nagayun, who had already discovered the large number of "silkworm-type missiles" launched by the US air fleet, issued an order. Similarly, he needed bait to make the opponent's main attack group hit.
"Keep our main air defense fighter jets and ask them to attack high-altitude fighter jets!"
After saying that, he held up his telescope and looked in the direction of the enemy plane coming, then put it down and said something a little lack of confidence.
"I hope our air defense warships can block the attacks of those little demons!"
Razor rotor attack aircraft, in this world, this is a fighter aircraft with no secrets.
The characteristics of this type of fighter are cheap, easy to maintain, and high cost-effectiveness. The basic models are all from the Chinese Federation. Military and police from various countries have also purchased quite a few of these fighter jets, and most of them will be modified according to their own needs after returning to China. This simple, practical, and multi-purpose fighter is also the world's largest sales multi-purpose attack aircraft.
Even the Chinese Federation, which already has the WZ-1 "Fire Crow" attack helicopter, only the air assault division used helicopters. Among other army air forces directly under the army, the improved razor rotor attack aircraft is still the main attack aircraft.
With Tadaichi Nagamo's orders, the US rotor attack aircraft were blessed. Except for a squadron of 36 fighters that were attacked at the beginning, other Japanese fighters remained in the command airspace and performed intercepting missions to the main attack waves of the US military.
At this time, the US military's rotor attack aircraft group was still jogging in the artillery fire, but no more fighter jets were added, which made the pilots of the attack aircraft group much easier. However, on the battlefield, the pressure could not last too long. After enduring the attack for a few minutes, the US pilots had already accepted the entry of the house to escape their pressure.
"Targets are visible, ready to attack..."
As the mast of the Japanese air defense fleet appeared completely in front of him, the warships that looked low on the sea appeared in front of the US rotor attack aircraft group.
On the way of the rotor attack aircraft, the wreckage of dozens of razor rotor attack aircraft were quietly swallowed by the sea water. The thick bulletproof glass was covered with the blood of the soldiers.
Faced with increasingly clear goals, the leader of the Razor Rotor Attack Plane issued such a prayer.
