BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1240: exposed
Zero fighters are naturally to seize air supremacy, protect the fleet and fleet of fighters, be responsible for fighting with enemy fighters, and suppress the enemy\'s anti-aircraft firepower. The Type 99 carrier-based bomber is a bomber, capable of carrying three aerial bombs weighing 250 kilograms. Of course, there are still some gaps compared with the Stuka dive bombers and ship-based Stuka dive bombers used by the German Navy. The Stuka dive bomber is capable of carrying two aerial bombs weighing up to 500 kilograms. If it is carrying 250 kilograms of aerial bombs, it can carry four. The carrier-based dive bombers of the German Navy all carry two aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms. This heavy-duty aviation armor-piercing projectile will pose a greater threat to sea targets. Even a well-defended battleship or an aircraft carrier converted from a battleship cannot withstand an aerial bomb weighing 500 kilograms. After the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, these heavy aviation armor-piercing projectiles will have a terrible armor-piercing ability.
The Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft is a torpedo attack aircraft, which can carry a Type 91 heavy torpedo, and can also mount aerial bombs for horizontal bombing, acting as a horizontal bomber.
After the attack of these carrier-based planes of the Japanese Navy, both Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi and Kakuda Koji were very nervous. Although, they have been training for a long time and have practiced many times. But this is the first time it has been dispatched in actual combat. Whether they can succeed, neither of them has a bottom line.
"Mr. Nagumo, you must have confidence in our carrier-based aircraft force. The Germans are not prepared for our sudden attack this time. In addition, the target of this attack is still a target on land. Therefore, we will definitely win !” General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.
"Your Excellency, Commander, is right. We have a good chance of winning. However, the Germans should have air defense warning radars on those islands. Our fighter planes are probably 300 kilometers away, and they will be spotted by them. By then , They took off their carrier-based aircraft to intercept. Our carrier-based aircraft may suffer some losses." Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi said.
Germany is still at the leading level in the world in the field of radar electronics. Their air defense warning radar and sea search radar are the most advanced. The detection distance and accuracy are far ahead of other countries. However, other countries are not aware that Germany has initially been able to use radar to guide the main guns of battleships. Now, German scientists are still conducting further research, allowing radar to guide anti-aircraft guns and other anti-aircraft firepower. In this case, combined with the proximity fuze, the German Navy\'s air defense network will become impenetrable. If the navies of other countries want to use carrier-based aircraft to attack the German navy, it is impossible to break through the German navy\'s air defense network without paying a heavy price.
"Even if the German air defense warning radar can detect our carrier-based aircraft. But, what kind of preparations can they make in an hour? Besides, counting the time, when our carrier-based aircraft arrives, The genius just came to light. At that time, the Germans didn’t have time to take off many fighters. Our Zero fighters are also very advanced. Even if they are slightly inferior to the Germans’ fighters, they can still defeat them if they launch a siege. Somewhat Losses are nothing to us at all. There will always be casualties in wars. As long as we can win at the smallest cost, it is worth it to us." General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.
Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi nodded. He also knew that the island nation had no way out. Therefore, the only thing they can do is to try their best to win. Only with victory can the island nation have a future. Otherwise, their country might not even exist.
Yap Island, the base of the German Navy, a large long-range air defense warning radar is working. Invisible radar waves are emitted in all directions, scanning the nearby airspace, and reflecting all the situations on the display screen.
The radar soldier yawned and focused on the radar display screen. For radar soldiers, this is a very boring task. However, the importance of radar is self-evident. This makes the German Navy attach great importance to these overseas radar stations. It is precisely because of these radars that the German Navy\'s overseas bases can be protected from enemy sneak attacks.
In the naval base on Yap Island, hundreds of combat aircraft are parked, half of which are BF-109 fighter jets, and the rest are dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft. Their first task is to resist the enemy\'s attack, and then the active dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft attack the target. The main task of dealing with the enemy\'s surface fleet will be performed by the fleet.
At 4:15 in the morning, bright spots appeared on the radar screen. The warning device also remembered. The radar soldier who was dozing off suddenly woke up.
"What is this? Is it a migratory bird? No, it can\'t be a migratory bird, it\'s an airplane!" The radar soldier\'s face changed drastically.
He immediately grabbed the phone and asked the duty room at the base if there was any plane returning from his side. After learning that there was no one, the officer on duty at the radar station decisively sounded the alarm.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
Stern sirens sounded over the base, and the sleeping pilots of the German Naval Air Force were awakened one after another. They put on their clothes, shoes and socks as quickly as possible, and rushed to the airport.
According to the combat readiness regulations, once the alarm sounds, it means that the battle is about to start, and everyone must be ready for battle.
The ground crew also rushed out of the dormitory and began to check the fighter plane before takeoff.
A large number of anti-aircraft soldiers ran to the anti-aircraft artillery positions. A series of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns have been aimed at the sky, ready to attack at any time.
"What\'s going on?" The commander of the base also rushed into the headquarters immediately.
"Report, sir, the air defense warning radar has found more than 100 aircraft approaching at high speed, and the distance is only 300 kilometers away from us." The officer on duty reported.
