Chapter 227: Stage 1 Final Battle (Part )
At dawn the next day, the sun gradually shone onto the earth, illuminating the vast sea.
Above this vast ocean, Yan Country’s six aircraft carriers and twenty escort aircraft carriers stand proudly.
Following a low roar, the two types of fighter planes on the ship took off one after another like arrows from a bow.
Among these fighter planes, there are more than 300 extremely powerful attack aircraft and more than 700 agile and flexible fighter planes, which are as agile and swift as flying swallows.
The entire formation rushed towards the Dongyang Kingdom's joint fleet in a tight and orderly manner.
At this moment, the distance between the two sides is about 300 nautical miles, which is about 600 kilometers.
However, considering the speed of these advanced fighter jets, it is estimated that they will reach their destination in just about an hour.
Sitting in the cockpit of the latest fighter jet, Sheng Hao stared intently at the instrument panel and joystick in front of him.
He secretly sighed in his heart that this brand new fighter plane had excellent performance, which was absolutely incomparable to the Spitfire fighter he had flown before.
Whether it is speed, maneuverability or weapon system, they are all top-notch, making him full of confidence and anticipation for the upcoming battle.
At this moment, an excited voice of a pilot came from the intercom: "Captain, I have heard about your heroic deeds. You are truly a hero in our hearts!"
Sheng Hao smiled slightly and responded calmly: "These are just routine operations."
"As long as you train hard, you will be able to achieve such brilliant achievements in the future."
"The most important thing now is to concentrate on dealing with the upcoming fierce air battle."
The other party immediately replied: "Understood!"
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, they were only about a hundred nautical miles away from the Dongyang State Joint Fleet.
After Dongyang State keenly sensed the approach of Yan State's fighter formation, several Zero fighters on aircraft carriers took off like arrows and joined the battle.
According to rough estimates, the number of Zero fighters deployed this time was more than 300.
At the same time, on Gaoshan Island and the coastal cities of Dazhou Kingdom, three thousand fighter planes took off, covering the sky like a dark cloud.
They were arranged in a tight formation, on high alert, ready to fight back against the invading Yan State fighter planes at any time.
As time passed, the fighter jets of the two countries finally met in the vast sky.
In an instant, a thrilling air battle broke out! The pilots from both sides fought bravely without showing any weakness.
In just the first confrontation, a large number of fighter planes fell into the sea like birds with broken wings, and the sea surface was suddenly covered with flames and thick smoke.
However, when the fighter planes of the two countries were fighting fiercely, some of the attack aircraft of Yan State cleverly seized the opportunity, took advantage of the opportunity, broke through the opponent's defense line, and rushed towards the ships of the joint fleet.
The officers and soldiers of Dongyang State's ships were alarmed by the approaching enemy aircraft and immediately went into a state of high alert.
For a moment, all the anti-aircraft weapons on the ship opened fire at full power, forming an impenetrable barrage of bullets.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..." Anti-aircraft guns of various types roared in unison, and shells were fired as densely as raindrops, trying to prevent the Yan State's attack aircraft from approaching.
Faced with such fierce anti-aircraft firepower, Yan Country's attack aircraft showed no fear.
They decisively fired large-caliber rockets.
In an instant, hundreds of rockets rose into the sky like fire dragons, cutting through the sky and swooping down towards the Dongyang Kingdom’s joint fleet with the force of thunder.
Boom boom boom boom ~ accompanied by a deafening roar, one after another powerful large-caliber rockets poured down like raindrops.
Under such a fierce attack, the relatively small frigates and destroyers were simply vulnerable.
Once hit by these terrifying rockets, there will be an earth-shaking explosion in an instant.
Some unfortunate frigates didn't even have time to react before they were blown to pieces and sank into the cold and dark abyss of the sea.
However, it should be pointed out that despite the terrifying destructive power of this large-caliber rocket.
But the threat they posed to more powerful and well-defended ships such as cruisers and battleships was quite limited.
After all, compared with the former, the latter has an absolute advantage in terms of hull structure strength and armor protection capabilities.
It is worth mentioning that the fighter jets equipped by Yan State have excellent mounting capabilities and can carry up to three large-caliber rockets into combat.
After completing a round of salvos, they quickly launched a second round of attacks and did not stop until all their ammunition was used up.
In the end, these pilots turned around and left in their fighter planes, and did not choose to engage in a head-on confrontation with Dongyang's Zero fighters.
Despite this, in this extremely fierce sea and air battle, they faced interception from the Dongyang State's extremely dense and fierce air defense firepower network.
The Yan State side still inevitably suffered a certain degree of losses - a total of more than 20 attack aircraft unfortunately crashed during the battle.
But at the same time, Dongyang State also paid a very painful price for this.
More than a dozen ships were completely destroyed under the fierce attack of Yan State and buried in the vast ocean.
The Navy Minister, Yamamoto Noriyuki, stared gloomily at the Yan Kingdom's fighter planes that were gradually moving away. His angry roar sounded like thunder: "Bakayarro!"
"You are a bunch of useless idiots! Are you just going to watch those damned fighter planes fly away?"
"This is simply a humiliation to our Great Dongyang Empire Navy!"
An officer stepped forward timidly, saluted, and replied loudly: "Report to His Excellency the Commander!"
"At present, our Zero fighters and other types of fighters are doing their best to encircle and suppress Yan Country's carrier-based fighters."
"However, for this new type of attack aircraft sent by Yan Country, we really can't find an opponent that can compete with it except the Zero fighter!"
Hearing this, Yamamoto Takashi's face became even uglier. He gritted his teeth and yelled, "Baka! This is such a shame!"
"Immediately issue an order to dispatch submarine forces to launch a surprise attack on the main fleet of Yan Nation."
"At the same time, notify the naval aviation forces on the coast to prepare for coordinated operations."
"This operation must teach the Yan Kingdom's main fleet a painful lesson, so that they know the consequences of offending the Great Dongyang Empire Navy!"
"Hi, Commander!" The officer saluted again, then turned and hurried away to convey Yamamoto Noriyuki's order.
At this time, Yamamoto Noriyuki was still standing there, staring at the battle between the fighter jets of the two countries in the air.
He was secretly planning the next strategic deployment in his mind.
