Chapter 379 Ensuring Air Supremacy
The roaring sound of engines, accompanied by black clouds in the sky, the carrier-based aircraft charged forward with machine guns firing, constantly shooting down or being shot down. For a moment, the sky was filled with flashes of flames and black smoke rising when the carrier-based aircraft fell.
Over the ocean, the first battle for air supremacy in the face of the Siren Tide began.
This scene occurred simultaneously in the sky above five waterways.
All the commanders of the large fleets were hurrying on their way, looking up at the black smoke and flames rising from the distant sky, feeling excited.
In the previous battlefields where defense was the main focus, when did he ever pay attention to the battle for air supremacy in the sky? Every time he looked at the approaching Siren fleet with worry, thinking about how to survive such an attack, while commanding the ship girl's counterattack.
I have never been so excited to fight before, even last year when we had a lot of harvests.
And all this was caused by that person's joining. Perhaps, there really is someone who can change the entire battlefield with his own power.
On the other side, as the battle to seize air supremacy began, Qin Ge stared at the screen without blinking.
"It's started, Commander Qin Ge, what should we do now?" Canglong said to Qin Ge.
"It's okay. The first step is the most critical one. Any command is useless. This is purely a competition of the training level of the aircraft carrier and the ship girls. If air supremacy is achieved smoothly, then this battle is already won." Qin Ge said to Canglong.
"What if it fails?" Canglong asked.
"Failure?" Qin Ge smiled, "Then we will seize the air supremacy at the point!"
"Facing the air superiority of the point?" Canglong asked puzzledly.
Qin Ge nodded, "At present, we have divided the aircraft carrier fleet into five fleets and started the air supremacy battle on five routes at the same time. If we really fail, then we will first concentrate all the carrier-based aircraft and give priority to seizing air supremacy on three routes.
After we have secured air supremacy, we can then seize air supremacy over other routes. We must take control of air supremacy in our own hands, so that we can ensure a complete victory in this battle."
"Haha, only success is allowed, not failure?" Canglong nodded, "Indeed, we have no reason to fail."
"Yes!" Qin Ge nodded heavily.
Perhaps the Siren Fleet had never experienced such desperate tactics in this world. From the very beginning, the battle for air supremacy had a great advantage over the carrier-based aircraft of the ship girls.
By the time the command ships of the commanders of the large fleets reached their designated positions, the battle for air supremacy had basically come to an end.
"Report to the command center, air control of route 2 is ensured."
As expected of being the elder sister of the White Eagle leader Enterprise, Yorktown was the first to report the battle results in the area she was responsible for to the headquarters.
At this moment, Essex, who was in charge of Channel No. 3, also reported to Qin Ge the battle results of the Third Aircraft Carrier Squadron led by him.
"Report to the command center, air control of Channel 3 is ensured."
Qin Ge reacted immediately after receiving these two messages and said to the communicator, "Received. Next, I will notify the various large fleets to start luring attacks. While your aircraft carrier fleet ensures air superiority, provide necessary air strike assistance to the war zone."
"Understood!" voices rang out from Essex and York.
Canglong on the other side smiled when he heard this, "Haha, you are indeed worthy of being the awakened ship girl of the White Eagle camp's elite. You have already secured air superiority over the waterway so quickly."
Qin Ge smiled and nodded, "So, since they have given us such a strong power, if we don't use it, wouldn't we be very sorry for them?"
Randomly, with Canglong smiling, Qin Ge picked up the communicator in front of him and dialed the communication devices of several large fleets, "Air supremacy has been secured, and the plan to lure the enemy has begun.
Fleets No. 17, No. 20, No. 22, No. 24, and No. 26 will begin to lure the enemy, while the other fleets will lie in ambush first, and if any pursuers appear, they will be quickly cut off."
"clear!"
The voice of the commander of the large fleet in charge of the second and third routes was immediately heard on the communicator.
Since it was the first time, Qin Ge was afraid that some commanders of large fleets did not understand the specific operations, so he gave some instructions afterwards. At the same time, most of the forces were left behind to cover the rear and counter-encirclement.
But Qin Ge was obviously overthinking. The commanders of these large fleets were all smart people. After hearing the order, they immediately assembled their own ship girls and approached the main force of the Siren Fleet.
Since air supremacy has been ensured, there is no need to worry about the problem of carrier-based aircraft in the sky. They can be completely exposed to the radar of the opponent's Siren fleet .
Moreover, these people only exposed the corners of the radar and then stopped moving forward, clearly waiting for the Siren fleet to attack them.
However, such proactive provocation was indeed useful. Soon, the main force of the Siren fleet split into five large fleets and attacked in the direction where the several fleets appeared.
The commanders of these fleets saw the movement on the radar and immediately ordered their large fleets to retreat. For a moment, all the ship girls did not stop and retreated without looking back, luring the Siren large fleet to chase them.
However , the Siren fleet did not expect that although these ship girls seemed to be retreating, they were actually moving towards the ambush circle mentioned by their fleet commander.
Fortunately, when the Siren fleets reached the ambush circle, two large fleets with their radar signals turned off attacked from both sides in an instant, and the ship girls in front who seemed to be fleeing in a panic also turned around and rushed towards them.
Amid the roar of the ship's guns, the originally calm peace on the sea was broken and turned tragic in an instant.
However, this tragedy was unique to the Siren Fleet, because it was a waste of talent for the ship girls of three large fleets to work together to deal with a large Siren fleet.
Because it was a crushing battle, the battle started quickly and ended very quickly. It took less than a quarter of the normal battle time to destroy a large Siren fleet, not to mention that there were carrier-based aircraft in the sky that occasionally dive-bombed for support.
"Reporting to the headquarters, the lured Siren fleet has been annihilated. Please give instructions!"
In the command center, such voices began to rise one after another, leaving Canglong and Qin Ge with no time to respond.
At this time, the First Aircraft Carrier Fleet led by Guanghui also successfully seized the air supremacy of Channel No. 1. The air supremacy of most of the sea area has completely fallen into the hands of Qin Ge's side.
The 4th Aircraft Carrier Fleet and the 5th Aircraft Carrier Fleet, led by the ship girls of the Maritime Administration, later gained air superiority over Channel 4 and Channel 5.
There is no longer a single Siren carrier-based aircraft that can fly in the entire sea area.
