Without the support and cover of air power, their ground air defense positions, including the remaining warships blocked in the port, may not be able to protect themselves. In this way, facing the attack of the opponent's huge fleet, they can only rely on coastal defense artillery. How long can the fortress last?
These congressmen are not idiots or fools. They even think more and further than ordinary people. Therefore, they actually understand deep down that there is no chance for them to stand up this time.
Moreover, the opponent is a fleet sent by a large force, so the fate of these former rulers can be imagined. There is no other way except death.
Since everyone on the left and right is dead, the former bloody spirit of these congressmen is also beginning to revive. Death is no problem, but they definitely don't want to make the other party feel better, and they must take a few bites of flesh.
High rewards, various post-war promises, and all kinds of cheering. In short, these congressmen who were unwilling to fail tried their best to do ideological work for the officers and soldiers of various units, so that everyone must persevere.
In order to save the morale of the officers and soldiers who were about to collapse, these congressmen even did not hesitate to tell big lies, trumpeting that their allies had sent a powerful fleet and were arriving day and night. As long as they continued to persist for a while, they could obtain this victory. The battle is ultimately won.
The congressmen's plan succeeded. They were deterred by the powerful strength of the Chinese fleet. The low morale caused by the heavy losses of the troops was improved. Facing the second wave of attack aircraft sent by the Chinese fleet, they paid a huge amount of effort. The price was actually withstood, which made the pilots of the Chinese fleet look a little dumbfounded.
Can you believe that the island side of No. 308, which had been suppressed before, was able to forcibly control the aircraft to directly crash into the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese fleet, knowing that they were outmatched or the aircraft was hit and lost control.
Unprepared, a dozen carrier-based aircraft in a row were hit by a carrier-based aircraft from the island of No. 308 due to the carelessness and negligence of the pilots, and they all died together.
Such a lose-lose strategy made the young pilots of the Chinese fleet very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Nimitz, who was stationed at the rear, realized that something was not right and ordered the second batch of attack aircraft to evacuate the battlefield in advance and turn around and return, otherwise the losses would still be lost. will be even greater.
The menacing second wave of attacks failed to achieve the tactical purpose due to the desperate efforts of the island 308 side, and only damaged a large area of their remaining fleet.
Unlike the Il-4 bomber, which is more suitable for ground bombing missions, the SBD Dauntless dive bomber and TBF Avenger torpedo attack aircraft are professional carrier-based aircraft specifically used to bomb surface ships.
In addition, the pilots who fly these carrier-based aircraft have experienced many naval battles and have long been adapted to sea bombing. Their technical level has been greatly improved. They are very comfortable bombing surface ships.
With the escorting F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets restraining the interceptor group on the 308th island, these bombers and torpedo attack aircraft achieved considerable results.
Although the statistical results are not accurate, according to the pilots' reports, this round of bombing sank almost 20 small and medium-sized warships, and also seriously damaged the few remaining main warships in the fleet.
Especially the remaining aircraft carriers, their flight decks were blown to pieces and they lost all combat capabilities.
Under the influence of Ye Bai's thoughts, the pilots of the Chinese fleet have now developed a habit. Let's talk about other warships. If they encounter an aircraft carrier, and their own side has the upper hand, they will take damage without sinking it. manner.
Anyway, compared with capital ships such as battleships and battlecruisers, you only need to blow up the flight deck on the aircraft carrier to almost disarm the opponent. After the war, you can capture it and renovate it to continue serving.
Of course, the results of the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter group were also not bad. Although the losses this time were greater due to the opponent's perishable style of play, they also shot down at least about 200 aircraft on the island side of No. 308. Carrier-based aircraft.
So far, including air combat and night raids, Island No. 308 has lost a total of nearly 2,000 carrier-based aircraft. The number of remaining carrier-based aircraft is less than 1,000, and there are still many injured carrier-based aircraft. It needs to be repaired before it can continue on the battlefield.
The most important reason why Nimitz ordered the second round of attacks to end early and the fleet to return was that he did not expect why the pilots on the island side of No. 308 suddenly became so unafraid of death, and even dared to die together, which was somewhat unreasonable.
Out of caution, Nimitz prepared to suspend the attack, and did not send out the third wave of attack aircraft that was almost ready. Heydrich immediately contacted the intelligence personnel on the island to find out why these pilots had such a big accident. The change.
This information is not considered top secret. After all, in order to enhance the officers and soldiers' will to resist and combat morale as much as possible, those congressmen really advertised it with great fanfare and publicity.
The intelligence officers who were still lurking on the island No. 308 figured out the specific reason after a little inquiry, and then reported it through the radio.
After reading such information, Ye Bai sneered, but Nimitz looked a little solemn.
"Nimitz, you don't think what those guys said is true, do you? This is obviously a lie to fool his soldiers into committing suicide..?"
Seeing the look on Nimitz's face, Ye Bai, who had originally made up his mind not to participate in the command, couldn't help but complain.
"oh? The expression on Nimitz's face did not change, and he asked:"
Commander, do you think so?" Don't believe they still have reinforcements?"
Ye Bai was really surprised by Nimitz's reaction, but after thinking about it seriously, he still replied seriously:"I don't believe they can still have reinforcements. When they were on Yuntong Island, they They destroyed most of their belongings. If they asked for help, they would have already asked for help. After such a long time, if there were reinforcements, they should have arrived long ago. They wouldn’t even see their shadows."
"What if they start asking for help after we launch a blockade on the island or after our fleet arrives?"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, and said with some lack of confidence:"It shouldn't be the case. The sooner you ask for help, the better. Who would choose to do this? Only at the most critical moment do you ask for help."
Nimitz shook his head and frowned and said:"It's not impossible. After all, we don't know much about their situation. Maybe their relationship with their allies is not as close as we thought. If we want to get support, They had to pay an extremely heavy price, which made them hesitate, but our arrival and attack prompted them to make this decision."
Ye Bai murmured his lips a few times, but did not say anything to refute. After all, Nimitz's statement is not unreasonable. No matter in what world, there is never love without reason, and there will never be hatred without reason.
No matter what Whether it is contact between people or communication between forces, it will always be the icing on the cake. It is rare to offer help in times of need. After all, not everyone has a mother's heart. Even if it is the behavior of giving help in times of need, there are many There are other purposes behind it.
Just like during World War II on Earth, the United States gave a large amount of materials and equipment to Europe and the Soviet Union. Some were paid and some were free aid, but the transactions behind it and the people behind it How many people know the purpose and really think that these things are so easy to get?[]
In the world of navigation, every aboriginal force has been in this world for who knows how many years. It is normal for them to have some contact with each other, especially as the occupier of an island and the leader of a force. If there is no Among the several allies, Ye Bai was the first to not believe it, but whether this ally was reliable or not was unknown to outsiders.
The reason why Yuntong Island did not ask for help from the outside world at the beginning was not that they had no allies, but that the war was developing and changing too fast and there was no time.
The main fleet had just suffered a defeat and lost more than half of it. Island No. 308 summoned a large number of player warships to rush to Yuntong Island and launched a frontal strong attack. The battle had not lasted a few days when the Chinese fleet appeared and eliminated them in three attacks. Both forces in the two regions were wiped out, leaving no time or opportunity for Qiu Haonan and the others to ask for help from their allies.
Therefore, the situation that Nimitz just said (Qiannuo is good) is very likely to occur and exist. After all, this time the Chinese fleet moved too slowly and left too long to send a large number of submarine forces to blockade the outer sea. , and then almost a month passed before the main fleet of the Chinese fleet arrived.
Such a long time is enough for Island No. 308 to negotiate and communicate with its allies. If they are really serious, they can already negotiate the terms. If the time it takes for the reinforcements to come all the way is deducted, it is really possible. Arrived in the past few days.
After thinking about this, Ye Bai almost agreed with Nimitz's judgment in his heart, but he always felt a little unwilling to do so, so he continued:"But we can't rule out that these guys are bluffing? This battle has already happened. We have been fighting so far, we can't really be frightened by an uncertain intelligence, right?"
Nimitz's frowning brows were completely relaxed at some point, and the faint smile returned to his face. He said softly:"It is better to believe that this kind of thing is true than to believe that it is not true. In a war, no matter how cautious you are, no matter whether they are bluffing or not, we must be prepared in advance."
Whenever we see Nimitz With that faint smile on his face, Ye Bai would feel extra relaxed. It was the same this time. Hearing this, he said softly:"It seems that you have already thought of a solution?".
