The Lighthouse Navy Fleet dispatched a large number of carrier-based aircraft this time, including 144F4H fighters and 480 F4G fighters, in addition to 432 SBD2 dive bombers and 288 TBD torpedo attack aircraft.
Such combat power is undoubtedly very powerful.
According to the estimation of the Lighthouse Navy, after the Russian Empire Navy dispatched a large number of fighters to intercept the fleets of the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation forces, there would not be too many fighters left.
With the scale of the fleet they dispatched this time, it should be completely able to cover the bomber fleet’s breakout.
At worst, it can be successful under the attack of the second batch of carrier-based aircraft.
This makes Admiral Nimitz and others very confident about this attack. Even, they believe that the Lighthouse Navy will definitely win in this battle.
If the attack goes smoothly, then the possibility of defeating the Russian Empire Navy is still very high.
A huge fleet of carrier-based aircraft flew towards the location of the Russian Empire Navy’s aircraft carrier formation.
When the Russian Empire Navy’s aircraft carrier formation took off its carrier-based fighters, the Lighthouse Navy used air search radar to search the nearby waters and locked the location of the Russian Empire Navy’s aircraft carrier formation.
You should know that in order to determine the location of the Russian Empire Navy’s aircraft carrier formation, the Lighthouse Navy specially dispatched a number of cruisers and destroyers equipped with air search to the vicinity of the Bahamas.
Although many warships were discovered and sunk by the Russian Empire Navy. However, the remaining warships still completed the task very well.
And the actions of the Lighthouse Navy were soon discovered by the Russian Empire Navy.
The Russian Empire Navy also deployed a large number of warships around the Bahamas. Many of these warships are equipped with air search radars, so it is easy to detect the actions of the Lighthouse Navy.
After receiving the telegram, the flagship battleship Peter II responded quickly.
"Commander, the navy of the Lighthouse people has indeed been dispatched. This time, they are undoubtedly coming in full force! The number of carrier-based aircraft dispatched is as high as more than 1,300!" Fleet Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Kasatolov had a solemn expression.
Lieutenant General Isakov nodded: "This time, the navy of the Lighthouse people should also go all out and dispatch all. Therefore, the next battle is also very important for us. Whether we can resist the attack of the Lighthouse people is particularly critical. If we can’t resist it, I’m afraid that a large number of our warships will be sunk by the Lighthouse people. This will undoubtedly be a very heavy blow to the Imperial Navy."
"Yes, Commander!" Lieutenant General Kasatolov replied.
"Order all aircraft carriers to take off the remaining carrier-based fighters immediately. To ensure the interception of the Lighthouse people’s carrier-based aircraft group, all fighters take off. We must kill this Lighthouse people."Some carrier-based fighters!" Marshal Isakov ordered.
"Yes, Commander. However, the Lighthouse people will not launch only one wave of carrier-based aircraft in this attack. Next, they will definitely have a second wave of carrier-based aircraft." Lieutenant General Kasatolov reminded.
If the Russian Empire Navy launched all its carrier-based fighters in this round of attack. Then, when facing the second wave of carrier-based aircraft of the Lighthouse people, there would be no way.
Marshal Isakov smiled and said, "The Lighthouse people must think so. That’s why they launched such an unscrupulous attack. However, their attack is doomed to fail. Don’t forget that although all our carrier-based fighters have been dispatched. However, the Air Force still has a lot of fighters in the Bahamas. Let the Air Force help us intercept the second wave of carrier-based aircraft of the Lighthouse people. At worst, the carrier-based fighters we took off before will return to the port and prepare for takeoff again after eliminating the Lighthouse People’s Army Air Force and Navy Shore-based Air Force. At that time, we can take this opportunity to destroy all the Lighthouse People’s carrier-based aircraft. Once the carrier-based aircraft are lost, will the Lighthouse People’s aircraft carrier formation still have combat effectiveness? "(To read the violent novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!)
When Lieutenant General Kasatolov heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"It seems that there is a fatal loophole in the Lighthouse People’s plan this time! Their plan is doomed to fail." Lieutenant General Kasatolov smiled.
"Yes! The Lighthouse People want to fight a decisive battle with us and defeat the Imperial Navy in one fell swoop. Then, let’s do as they wish. I just hope that they don’t lose too badly in this battle! "Marshal Isakov said.
"In addition, order our three battleship divisions and battlecruiser formations to advance towards the Lighthouse fleet. After we have eliminated the Lighthouse carrier-based aircraft group, they will decide the final victory or defeat!" Marshal Isakov ordered.
After all, the Russian Empire Navy’s aircraft carrier formation does not carry dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, and lacks anti-sea strike capabilities.
Then, the responsibility of attacking the Lighthouse fleet naturally falls on the battleship formation.
"Yes, Commander! The Lighthouse has only 17 battleships. Even if these battleships are new battleships that have just been commissioned. However, the gap with our battleship formation is too big. The Lighthouse is definitely not our opponent. This time, we will be able to defeat the Lighthouse soon! "Lieutenant General Kasatolov seemed very confident.
Marshal Isakov, of course, was the same. (Wang Le Zhao)
Once they get rid of the Lighthouse’s carrier-based aircraft. Then, the Lighthouse’s aircraft carriers will immediately lose their combat effectiveness. In the next battle, they will naturally not pose a threat to the Russian Empire Navy.
And the main force of the naval battle will once again become the battleship.
And the Russian Empire Navy has a very big advantage in battleships.
This will put the Lighthouse Navy at a complete disadvantage in this battle. Even, it lost very ugly.
After all, the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers is strong, but after losing carrier-based aircraft and being approached by battleships, they have become targets.
If everything goes well, the Russian Empire Navy will once again win an extremely brilliant victory in this fateful battle. This will give the Russian Empire a greater advantage in the next war. .
