Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 3003 Thorough Rise
In terms of size and attack power, compared with aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers, torpedo boats and missile boats are like the difference between mice and elephants.However, just as if an elephant is in danger of being killed if it is drilled into its nose by a mouse, whether it is an aircraft carrier or a heavy cruiser, once it is approached by a torpedo boat or a missile boat, the result will be doomed to be a tragedy.

The missile launched by the raiding fleet did not cause much damage to the US ship, but for the officers and soldiers of the US aircraft carrier formation headed by Li Mei, it was like guarding a pile of gasoline barrels to prevent any flames and suddenly found that they did not know When was there a ticking time bomb on the gasoline barrel, this sudden blow filled them with despair.

"Chinese raid fleet!"

"God, how did you forget that?!"

"General, what should we do now?"

What can Li Mei do?If it was daytime, if it hadn't been raided by a fleet of Chinese long-range bombers, if... Li Mei suddenly regretted it now.Because they didn't have the opportunity to solve China's raid fleet before. When he found the Chinese torpedo boat during the day, he could actually send a certain size of fighter planes to patrol the surrounding waters.In that case, it would take up to two hours, and he believed that this Chinese fleet composed of small ships would be wiped out.

Taking a deep breath, closing his eyes and thinking about it for about 5 minutes, Li Mei ordered all the destroyers and cruisers to turn to the rear immediately, and at the same time, all the aircraft carriers accelerated forward.

Even though Li Mei was engaged in army aviation before and was not good at naval warfare, he has already seen clearly the plot of China.The Chinese are both long-range bombers and raid fleets, including the night raids launched by the Chinese against the Japanese fleet, all aimed at aircraft carriers.Why do Chinese people do this?Li Mei thinks there are two reasons.On the one hand, the Chinese have realized that they are not the opponents of the combined US-Japanese fleet; on the other hand, the Chinese are not sure that they will defeat Japan or the single US fleet in World War I.

"The purpose of the Chinese in doing this is to weaken our air power, so that they will be invincible in future confrontations. Just imagine, once we and the Japanese lose air power, then we will have the fleet The superiority in numbers, but can we still attack or defend? The Chinese only need to continue to launch air strikes against us! That is to say, no matter how much advantage we have in the number of ships, once the air power is contained, Then we will be in a passive position to be beaten! So what we have to do now is to save our aircraft carrier as much as possible. Only in this way, we may be able to deter the Chinese fleet and prevent them from provoking a decisive battle prematurely!"

The above words were said by Li Mei to the captains of several heavy cruisers later.

At that time, in the rear of the Hornet aircraft carrier, more than ten American destroyers and cruisers ordered to stop the Chinese raid fleet had lost their combat power one after another, and five of them were in a semi-sunk state.This made the captains of the heavy cruisers have the idea that Li Mei would take them to top the tank, and they couldn't help but began to question Li Mei's order.

Compared with the horizontal bombing of the sky fortress cluster, the precise strike of the raid fleet is more threatening.

After all, torpedoes and ship-to-ship missiles are professional ship killers, and their fixed-point lethality, especially their armor-piercing capabilities, is far from comparable to that of aerial bombs.However, because they were covered by the raid fleet, the American destroyers and cruisers couldn't even perform maneuvers.As a result, the raid fleet has become a nightmare in the eyes of the Americans.

Our aircraft carriers have been severely damaged in previous bombings and have basically lost their combat capability. In this case, let them withstand the attack of the Chinese surprise fleet and use their bodies to protect the destroyers and destroyers that still have full combat power. Cruisers are the best solution, right?Li Mei chose to do the opposite. Considering that he was born in the Army Aviation, he may not be very good at naval warfare. Of course, American captains have the right to question his decision.

Huang Tianxun and Zhang Xiaolin were unaware of the contradictions in the command of the US aircraft carrier formation.They didn't have time to study the problem either.

The U.S. captains didn't know that at this time, the two top Chinese commanders were having a headache or even annoyed that they could not reach the U.S. aircraft carrier.

"The enemy commander is good!" This is Zhang Xiaolin's evaluation of Li Mei.As the only flying fortress lingering above the battlefield, he now acts more like the eye of the raid fleet.I personally saw the transformation of the US fleet, witnessed Li Mei pulling the aircraft carrier that was almost turned into a fireboat from the front line to the back of the frigate group to protect it, but the raid fleet could only watch. Zhang Xiaolin had to admire Li Mei's means.

After all, ship-to-ship missiles are still in their infancy at this time, and the mass of ship-to-ship missiles carried by guided missile speedboats is unlikely to be too large. Therefore, if you want to sink an enemy ship at this time, you can only rely on torpedoes and heavy aerial bombs. to the blow of the meter.

The combat mission of the aerial fortress cluster has been completed, and although the result is unsatisfactory, it is acceptable, so Zhang Xiaolin can still maintain a good attitude.Compared to him, Huang Tianxun gritted his teeth against Li Mei because he couldn't sink even a US aircraft carrier as scheduled.

At the beginning, it was not that he didn't think about bypassing the destroyer and cruiser groups and focusing on the aircraft carrier, but the result was counterproductive.Although the torpedo boat has a speed advantage, its disadvantages are also obvious, the skin is too thin!Well, the range to hit the aircraft carrier has not yet been obtained, and five ships were sunk by the gunfire of the US ship first.Seeing that the circumventing team might be wiped out if they continued, Huang Tianxun had no choice but to admit defeat, pinching his nose to make them give up the circumventing and continue attacking the frontal targets.

A big battle lasted for nearly three hours, and finally ended with the Chinese raid fleet voluntarily withdrawing from the battlefield.At this time, there are not many American battleships that are still intact.

This naval battle, which was later called the "Sino-American North Pacific Encounter", was the first time in human history that a long-range bomber unit was dispatched to conduct ultra-long-distance combat, and it broke the law of naval warfare that "displacement = combat power", so it was widely used. The country's naval academies are included in textbooks and taught as classic battle examples.

This night, for Americans and Japanese, is doomed to sleepless.Because it not only changed the balance of power between China, the United States and Japan in the Pacific Ocean at once, but more importantly, after this night, the combined US-Japan fleet has lost the ability to take the initiative to attack.In other words, just after this night, China's Pacific Fleet began to have the dominance of the Pacific War, and they are not far away from completely taking control of the North Pacific.And this will inevitably affect the war situation on land in the Pacific region.

In layman's terms, China is one step closer to a complete rise.
