Bright Sword Military System

The air battle ended after more than ten minutes. The Eighth Route Army shot down a total of 36 "Winds" and 7 bombers in the entire battle.

轰炸机之所以只击坠了7架，一是因为“歼2”一般不以轰炸机为目标……那都是“97舰攻”、“99舰爆”，这些老掉牙的玩意交给“歼1”就够，“歼2”打它那都是浪费弹药，打下来的这7架都是因为挡着“歼2”的路顺手把它干下来的。

On the other hand, Ozawa Jisaburo immediately ordered the carrier-based aircraft to return as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, and at the same time ordered the aircraft carrier to stay away from the coastline.

Originally, Ozawa Jisaburo thought that the empire had air superiority and that the aircraft carrier would not be in danger even if it was close to the coast, so he pushed the aircraft carrier to a distance of more than [-] kilometers.

This is actually the reason why Ozawa hopes to make full use of naval guns.

Because the aircraft carrier has a long attack range, it is not necessary to advance to such a close distance of more than [-] kilometers.

But if the aircraft carrier is stationed in the open sea, such as one hundred kilometers or two hundred kilometers away from the coast, and then sends fighter planes to bomb...

First of all, fighter planes need to consume more fuel, and Ozawa is reluctant to part with this fuel.

The second is that the aircraft carrier must be protected by warships, otherwise the Eighth Route Army has a coastal defense regiment and anti-ship missiles. If the aircraft carrier does not have destroyers and cruisers surrounding it, a few random missiles can blow up the aircraft carrier and render it unable to take care of itself.

But this time the Japanese came with three aircraft carriers. If they wanted to surround them with destroyers and cruisers, there would be at least seven or eight of them!

The Japanese only had a total of 12 warships to escort them. The removal of seven or eight warships meant that there were only four or five warships participating in the war to conduct bombings. This bombing intensity was definitely not enough!
So Ozawa Jizaburo did not stop doing anything, and directly sent the aircraft carrier to more than [-] kilometers along the coast to accompany the warships to launch bombings.

In this way, 12 warships can bomb Huludao and at the same time provide anti-aircraft firepower for the aircraft carrier.

Another reason is that at this time, the empire was in a dilemma of having aircraft carriers but no carrier-based aircraft. At this time, even the old "Type 97" and "Type 99" were used on aircraft carriers.

If there is a serious shortage of carrier-based aircraft, then the aircraft carrier will not be so important, so Ozawa dares to send the aircraft carrier up to take risks.

At this time, Ozawa saw that the Eighth Route Army's new fighter planes suddenly appeared on the battlefield like a magic weapon descending from the sky and beat the "Hast" fighters to the ground. He felt something bad and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.

While retreating, warships were also urgently ordered to guard the aircraft carrier and prepare for air defense.

Ozawa Jisaburo knew very well that once the empire lost air control, it was time for the Eighth Route Army's anti-ship missiles to show off... The reason why the Eighth Route Army has not used anti-ship missiles until now is because the air control was previously in the hands of the imperial army and the imperial army still had speed. 640 kilometers of "Wind" fighter aircraft.

The speed of anti-ship missiles is only more than 300 kilometers per hour, so it can be said that it is easy for "Wind" fighters to intercept them.

But now that the "Wind" fighter jets are finished, the aircraft carrier will soon become the target of anti-ship missiles!

Therefore, the Japanese fleet was busy: the warships were busy spreading out to form an encirclement on the aircraft carrier, the anti-aircraft gunners and anti-aircraft gunners were urgently mobilized to prepare for battle, and the "zero battle" took off at the fastest speed to intercept missiles in the air...

Ozawa Jisaburo's approach is still effective.

Although the Eighth Route Army now has the "J-2" and its performance can crush the Japanese "zero combat", the "J-2" is unlikely to enter the airspace of the Japanese fleet for combat.

The reason is that there are twelve warships there plus the anti-aircraft firepower of three aircraft carriers, which is no joke.Although the Japanese's anti-aircraft firepower is not very good, it cannot withstand their large numbers.

The Eighth Route Army has only six "J-2s". If it enters its air defense area and fights "zero combat", the Eighth Route Army will suffer losses as long as two or three are knocked out by Japanese air defense firepower.

Therefore, Ozawa Jisaburo's preparations can still intercept anti-ship missiles.

But Ozawa Jisaburo only guessed half of it right...

The Eighth Route Army indeed fired anti-ship missiles at this time, with the first batch of 37 being fired.

The Eighth Route Army did not have many anti-ship missiles in the direction of Huludao. It only deployed more than 37 missiles. These [-] missiles can be regarded as destroying half of its reserves.

It's just that the target of these anti-ship missiles is not the aircraft carrier.

Wang Xuexin knew the situation of the Japanese aircraft carrier. There were not many carrier-based aircraft and the aircraft carrier was almost an empty shell. Besides, the Eighth Route Army still had air superiority, so why attack the aircraft carrier?Isn't that a waste of missiles?
Besides, the Japanese reflexively use warships to protect the aircraft carrier. This is a "zero war" involving anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. Even if more than thirty missiles break through the air defense net, there will only be a few left. What else can they do? How much damage did the Japanese aircraft carrier cause?

The target of the missile is not a Japanese warship.

As mentioned before, naval warfare mainly depends on air superiority. If the Japanese do not have air superiority, the warship will be a target. If they want to blow it up, Japan will have many opportunities.

The target of the Eighth Route Army was the Japanese landing ships, four landing ships.

These landing ships were converted from civilian cruise ships by the Japanese.

However, although these cruise ships are said to be civilian cruise ships, they are actually for military use... During World War I, the five naval powers of Eagle Sauce, the Sun Never Sets, the Japanese, Gaul and Spaghetti signed the "Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Arms", which stipulated that military warships should not exceed a certain number. A series of treaties such as tonnage, how many inches the caliber of artillery must not exceed, and so on.

In order to circumvent this so-called naval treaty, the Japanese came up with a way: build civilian ships according to military standards, such as speed, tonnage, defense, etc. They can be used as civilian ships in peacetime and can be quickly converted into military ships in wartime... The Japanese have several aircraft carriers. That's how it was modified.

These four civilian cruise ships are such products, and they can usually carry 900 passengers.

But it is only for carrying passengers. During wartime, the internal seats and useless facilities are removed, and cranes and landing craft are installed to immediately transform it into a landing ship, and each ship can hold more than [-] infantry or marines.

The Japanese infantrymen who attacked Huludao disembarked from these landing ships. At this time, the Japanese soldiers were still climbing down from the net rope on the side of the ship to board small landing craft and then sent them to the shore in batches.

This can only mean that the Japanese landing ships responded slowly, or that they thought that the Eighth Route Army's anti-ship missiles would first target aircraft carriers instead of these landing ships, or that they were unwilling to fail and thought that even if the aviation force retreated from the main fleet and fled, they infantry They can also achieve their original combat goal: occupy and hold Huludao.

But the next second, their dreams were quickly shattered.

Because with waves of roars, anti-ship missiles hit the landing ship accurately one after another...
