The Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy must have more than five aircraft carriers.
Otherwise, the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy would not be able to dispatch a large number of carrier-based aircraft to attack their battleship formation after resisting the attacks of the carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and the Lighthouse Navy Pacific Fleet.
Although it is unknown how the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy hides aircraft carriers. However, this must be the fact. Otherwise, how could the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy be so powerful?
It is a pity that although Admiral Hasben Kimmel has realized this, it is too late now.
The carrier-based aircraft of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy is about to attack their warships.
As for whether it can withstand the attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Russian Empire Navy, Admiral Hasben Kimmel has no confidence at all.
The previous lesson of the battleship formation of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet is still in front of us!
But at this moment, the battleship formation of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Navy obviously has no other options.
"Order all ships to switch to air defense combat mode. If you want to survive, you must resist the Russian attack. Otherwise, we will be dead! God bless the Lighthouse!" Admiral Hasben Kimmel ordered.
"God bless the Lighthouse!" The soldiers of the battleship formation of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Navy also shouted.
Even though they have been forced into a desperate situation, they can still burst out with tenacious fighting will and strong combat effectiveness.
As for whether this will be effective, whether they can survive the attack of the Russian carrier-based aircraft group, this is undoubtedly very difficult to say.
But at least the current situation is undoubtedly very critical for the battleship formation of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Navy. If things go wrong, they will soon follow in the footsteps of the battleship formation of the East Sea Empire Navy Combined Fleet.
"Boom boom boom!"
The main battleship formation of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country Navy began air defense operations.
Anti-aircraft guns began firing into the air.
127mm anti-aircraft guns, as well as 90mm anti-aircraft guns, 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns, were all launched into the attack one after another.
The dense anti-aircraft firepower formed an anti-aircraft firepower network over the fleet.
And the carrier-based aircraft group of the Russian Empire Navy also quickly entered the attack state.
One after another, MiG-37 fighters began to attack the anti-aircraft positions on the battleships, attempting to suppress the anti-aircraft firepower on the battleships and cover their own dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft.
However, because these carrier-based fighters suffered too much loss in the previous battles. Therefore, there are not many MiG-37 fighters that can be put into combat at this time.
It is undoubtedly very difficult to completely suppress the anti-aircraft firepower on the warship.
So that thoseThe bombers and torpedo attack aircraft had to launch attacks under dense anti-aircraft firepower.
In this process, the losses were naturally greater.
But even so, the attack of the carrier-based aircraft group of the Russian Empire Navy was still very sharp.
The battlecruisers and the battlecruisers Constitution, which had been damaged before, became the first targets of siege.
Although the Lexington-class battlecruisers are huge warships with a displacement of nearly 45,000 tons. However, under the siege of many carrier-based aircraft, they are still in danger.
Especially the defense of the Lexington-class battlecruisers is not strong. So when facing a large number of aerial bombs and aerial torpedo attacks, they can’t resist at all.
Even if the anti-aircraft firepower on the battleships is dense, the anti-aircraft firepower of the escorting battleships is also very sharp.
But it still can’t stop the attack of the carrier-based aircraft group of the Russian Empire Navy.
Soon, the Raider was completely damaged by too many bombs and torpedoes and sank into the sea.
The Constitution battlecruiser only lasted a few minutes longer than the Raider. Soon, it also sank due to too much water.
The other four Lexington-class battlecruisers, namely the Lexington, the Constellation, the Saratoga and the Beaconland, were also besieged by the Russian Empire Navy’s carrier-based aircraft.
The battle was very fierce, and the officers and soldiers of both sides were trying their best.
The Russian Empire Navy’s carrier-based aircraft pilots naturally hoped to sink as many Beaconland warships as possible to gain more favorable conditions for their own fleet.
And the officers and soldiers of the Beaconland Navy hoped to withstand the attack of the Russian carrier-based aircraft. In this way, they will have a glimmer of hope.
During the fierce battle, one warship after another was severely damaged and sunk. The carrier-based aircraft group of the Russian Empire Navy also suffered heavy losses. One after another, carrier-based aircraft were shot down in the battle.
When the first wave of carrier-based aircraft of the Russian Empire Navy completed the attack, the six Lexington-class battlecruisers of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Navy had been killed.
This directly caused the battleship formation of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Navy to lose one-third of the battleships! Moreover, it was one-third with relatively strong combat power.
So that the strength of the entire Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Navy was undoubtedly severely damaged.
Admiral Hasben Kimmel had to change his flagship to the battleship South Dakota. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
However, the despair of the Lighthouse Navy happened.
(Wang Hao) Because after the first wave of carrier-based aircraft of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy left, the second wave of carrier-based aircraft soon appeared on their air search radar.
This also means that the Russian EmpireThe navy will launch a second wave of carrier-based aircraft attacks!
"’Oh my God! This is completely over. The Russians will attack through carrier-based aircraft!"
"It’s over, it’s over! We have lost six Lexington-class battlecruisers. If the Russians destroy a few more battleships, what can we use to fight the Russians?"
The officers and soldiers of the entire Lighthouse Country Navy Pacific Fleet’s main battleship formation were almost in despair.
They knew very well that they would suffer heavy losses under the attack of the Russian carrier-based aircraft. By then, they would not have the strength to fight the Russians at all. .
