Chapter 628 Interception
To be honest, Otowa's current method of using fighter jets has already made people who write air combat textbooks tear up their books.

What?Bite the rear hemisphere to attack?It doesn't exist. I, Izumi Otowa, want to use a fighter jet as a turret today. If you are put in the aiming ring by me, you will die.

If I had to make a metaphor for Otowa's behavior... it would probably be that a phalanx was planted in the center of the battlefield, aiming at anyone who would get pregnant.

What Su Baiyu said to Yin Yu at that time was not watered down. The so-called war girl is an existence that can change the course of the war by herself.

After being shot down by Otowa several fighter planes in a row, the pilots of Japan were also frightened, and unknowingly slowed down the rhythm of the attack.

The pilots who participated in this operation were not recruits either. After Otowa gave them a little breathing space, the Allied forces quickly started to counterattack.

"Don't love to fight, give priority to attacking bombers."

After confirming the reading on the ammo indicator, Otowa spoke unhurriedly.

Although the bombers sent by the army are all horizontal bombers, Otowa can feel...these bombers are equipped with very dangerous weapons, which can pose a threat to the mothership.

Theoretically speaking, bombers are much more difficult to fight than fighter jets, but the four cannons of F8F-1B are still the same as playing with them.

Da-da-da-da-

After holding the trigger for about half a second, Otowa let go of his fingers.

Four or five of the more than 20 shells fired hit. The number does not seem to be a lot, but it is enough for Otowa.

The right wing of the Ar234C broke in two on the spot, and the fuselage lost its balance immediately, and began an unstoppable fall.

Otoyu ignored this fateful enemy plane, but quickly pointed the nose of the plane at other enemies.

The bomber targeted by Otowa also failed to escape bad luck. Otowa soon broke off its wings and quickly fell to the ground.

Other fighters also began to intercept, but the effect was not very good.

Even if the speed of the Ar234C drops drastically after the bomb is mounted, it is still not something that piston fighters can catch up with in level flight, at least the pandas in their hands can't.

When the interception efficiency of fighter jets is not high, air defense can only be handed over to ground artillery.

These bombers are all cruising at altitudes above 6000 meters, and the only thing that can threaten them in the fleet is the dual-mounted 127mm dual-purpose guns.

The fleet dispatched in this high jump operation is much larger than in history, or it is much larger than announced in history, and the air defense network of the fleet is naturally not bad.

The first to fire was the Keeling-class destroyer on the periphery of the fleet. This destroyer is equipped with a total of six 127mm guns, all of which can be used for air-to-air shooting.

After the primary school students, the Philippine Sea aircraft carrier and the two Baltimore-class heavy cruisers escorted also started shooting, using the same 127mm high-level dual-purpose heirloom.

The rate of fire of the 127mm high-level dual-purpose gun is extremely fast, and it can fire 15-22 shells per minute.Moreover, it also has the ability to load in all directions and at all angles, and it still guarantees full-speed shooting in air defense operations.

Immediately, a large number of "black clouds" appeared around the bomber group. Due to the use of VT fuzes, the locations where these black clouds appeared were terrifyingly dense.

A 127mm artillery shell exploded near a certain bomber, and countless fragments flew out at a very high speed, many of which hit the bomber.

Although there was no instant kill effect, the fragments still successfully damaged one side of the engine of this Ar234C, forcing it to leave the team.

Black technology was available in many countries during World War II, and VT bombs were one of the signatures of US imperialism.

After all, these soldiers have never experienced the Pacific battlefield, so they miscalculated the anti-aircraft firepower of the US imperial fleet, thinking that they could do whatever they wanted by hiding at an altitude of 6000 meters.

After being baptized by VT bombs, only about ten bombers finally broke through the air defense net and successfully dropped the bombs mounted under the belly.

Each bomber carried only one bomb, but each bomb weighed 1.5 tons.

And, these are no ordinary bombs.

The front end of the bomb is equipped with cross-shaped wings with a wingspan of up to 1.6 meters, and a set of ring-shaped combined control wings at the rear, and the four rudder surfaces are even moving on their own.

Well, they don't actually move on their own, they are controlled remotely by the bombardier on the bomber.

These Ar234Cs are obviously improved models. The original cannon on the nose has been removed, and the cockpit has also changed from a single seat to a two-seater. The extra member is the bombardier.

Under the continuous correction of the bomber, the bomb finally hit the target accurately.

The kinetic energy of the bomb falling from 6000 meters is quite terrifying. Equipped with a time-delayed fuze, the bomb directly penetrated the deck of a Baltimore-class ship and entered the interior of the hull.

boom--

A mushroom cloud rose in the center of the hull, and the Baltimore-class ship even sank a lot of distance instantly under the effect of the explosion, and it regained its draft only after the explosion ended.

After experiencing such a powerful impact, the anti-aircraft firepower of this heavy cruiser has also stagnated, and it seems that it will be difficult to recover in a short time.

Just one bomb from a bomber severely damaged a heavy cruiser with a displacement of [-] tons. This is the Fritz-X wireless guided bomb.

这玩意于1939年开始设计，1942年进行试验，1943年的月产量达到300枚。其中100枚用于训练，另外200枚投入实战。

By the end of production in 1944, a total of 2500 "Fritz-X" wireless guided bombs had been produced, and only 100 were actually put into actual combat.

In the spring of 1943, after the guided bomb was put into production, it was first equipped with two Dornier DO-217 bomber squadrons, namely the second and third squadrons.The DO217 of the second squadron is also equipped with HS293 glide bombs, which can carry one under each wing after modification; the DO217 bombers of the third squadron are equipped with "Fritz-X" anti-ship missiles, which can carry two "Fritz-X" anti-ship missiles after modification. Ci-X" climbed to an altitude of 6096 meters for delivery.

Now the remnants of the Antarctic government have obviously also modified the Ar234 in their hands, so that it has the ability to drop guided bombs.

The 1.5-ton weight of the Fritz-X is there, and the power of this thing is naturally quite terrifying. When the Allied forces landed in Salerno in September 1943, a "Fritz-X" hit the US Navy's "large Nearly 9 sailors lost their lives on the light cruiser USS Prairie, which was also undergoing a 200-month overhaul in the shipyard.

Shortly thereafter, the battleship Warspite was also severely damaged by several "Fritz-X".During the battle, one "Fritz-X" hit and penetrated the six decks of the "War Spite", and another two exploded in the sea next to the ship, destroying the mine protection protrusion on the side of the hull, causing "War Spite" to The ship was flooded with 5000 tons of water, a boiler room was destroyed, 9 crew members died, and it was forced to undergo overhaul in Malta for 9 months.

However, the most famous result is the battleship Rome. The day after Italy announced its surrender and withdrawal from the German-Italian Axis, 12 German DO-217 bombers carrying "Fritz-X" launched an attack on it. It was sunk with two bomb hits.

This Baltimore-class ship can survive the explosion, and it can even be considered lucky.
