Although the Americans still had 16 destroyers and 12 cruisers, their formations had not yet been adjusted, and they began to attack.

When the firepower network has not been fully organized, it is not terrible.

In the face of the large-scale Chinese Air Force, they do not have much choice.

Moreover, the loss of the eight destroyers caused heavy losses to their outer air defense firepower, even if they were organized together, it was not so terrible.

When they adjusted their formation, the sixteen destroyers were sunk one by one, and the price they paid was only more than twenty fighters.

Now they have to deal with only 12 cruisers. Now these cruisers are tightly attached to the aircraft carriers. As long as they are all eliminated, these aircraft carriers will become targets.Let it be slaughtered.

Mitchell said that there is no way. Their destroyers are not many and cannot form a dense firepower network. Moreover, according to the current situation, the air defense firepower of these destroyers is still somewhat weak.

He didn't have much confidence at this time, thinking that it would be difficult for them to escape this disaster, but he couldn't show it on the face.

"Pay attention to the squadron. The U.S. cruisers have very strong air defense firepower. Fish attackers are waiting for the opportunity to act. They will drop bombs decisively when bombers and fighters create opportunities."

The commander of China’s carrier-based aircraft issued an order.

Compared with the destroyers of the United States, the firepower of their cruisers is much stronger, avoiding their main guns, not to mention four 128MM, 8 88MM anti-aircraft guns, 8 37.5MM, 8 25mm anti-aircraft guns. It is a killer weapon, not to mention 16 12.7MM anti-aircraft machine guns.This kind of air defense firepower is already more than three times that of a destroyer. This will increase the difficulty of attacking for Chinese carrier aircraft, but it is not difficult to defeat, and the degree of danger has become much higher.

In fact, the design of the new American cruisers is not limited to this point of anti-aircraft firepower, but the warships built according to the old blueprints did not have time to make adjustments before they came out to perform tasks, but this did not affect their ending.

With the addition of torpedo attack aircraft, the danger of these U.S. cruisers has greatly increased. The fish attack aircraft did not join before. One is because the number of torpedoes carried by the fish attack aircraft is relatively small. A 610MM torpedo weighs one ton. Many, a fish attack plane can only carry a few, Yuyu novel www.yuyubook.com

Moreover, the speed of the destroyer is extremely fast, and it is not so easy to be hit by torpedoes. Although the cruiser is fast, they have a large bomb area on time and need to protect the aircraft carrier. The range of movement is not large, so the probability of being hit Much larger.

After the number of enemy ships decreases, carrier-based aircraft can launch attacks in turn. Each cruiser has to face fifty fighters.

"Da da da!"

The aircraft machine gun box sweeps the American machine gun and the anti-aircraft gun position. The 25MM machine gun does not have a bullet shield and cannon cover, while the 37.5MM anti-aircraft gun needs to be dealt with with their machine gun. ,

Many American machine gunners and gunners were swept by the dense bullets. More people were scared and started looking for shelters, and the machine gunners and gunners who stood by their posts were also devastated in the rain of guns.

Similarly, in the face of such a powerful air defense firepower, three fighters and one bomber were swept in the first round. One of the pilots successfully parachuted, and the other three were disintegrated after being hit directly by the air.

However, more than a dozen aerial bombs fell, and the 6000-ton cruiser had to twist its body to avoid air defense. Even their resistance to 300 kg aerial bombs was very weak. You must know this kind of bomb. The power that fell on the deck is equivalent to a 240mm naval gun, not to mention so many,

At this time, the six torpedo attack planes took the opportunity to launch an attack. When this cruiser escaped most of the aerial bombers and hit one, it didn’t wait to breathe a sigh of relief. It was discovered that the danger had already hit them. near.

"Torpedo! Four left string, right..."

The observers, sailors and sailors were all shouting frantically, but it was too late. The bombing position of the torpedo attack aircraft was 500 meters away from them, and lightning strikes were launched from different angles until they found that the situation was not correct. At a good time, the maximum distance from them is no more than 300 meters. For a torpedo with a speed of 50 knots, 300 meters is just a distance that is not required for ten seconds. Moreover, this is not a speed difference chase, it is really difficult to avoid.

Of the six torpedoes, two of them hit this cruiser. You must know that even a battleship of 20,000 to 30,000 tons will be hit hard by a 610MM torpedo, not to mention that this cruiser is only 6,000 tons, let alone two. Pieces.

Even if he was lucky, his keel was not broken in the huge explosion, but two large holes over five meters, almost half of the inner warehouse destroyed, still made him sink quickly...

Five minutes later, Randolph, there were only four cruisers left beside the Lexington aircraft carrier. At this time, most of the Chinese carrier aircraft had attacked their carrier. The line of defense had been torn and could be aimed at the main aircraft. Started...
