Chapter 187: Qiyun Defense Battle (6)

Let's ignore the troubles of Chen Yao, the governor of the Far East, and let's see what happened to Bismarck at that time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Deep-sea carrier-based aircraft are obviously not just trying to slow down the pace of reinforcements on the Northwest Front, they seem to be assessing the situation in the sea area where Bismarck and others are located.

Bismarck didn't dare to be careless, although he fought with the deep-sea fleet when he saved Prince Eugen, but at that time he fought because there were Lexington and other aircraft carriers to ensure air supremacy, and they didn't need to worry about the threat from the air.

And now, Bismarck looked around the sea area where his team was located, and some of his planes were mostly reconnaissance planes of heavy cruisers and battleships, but these reconnaissance planes were all torn to pieces by deep-sea carrier-based planes immediately after taking off.

Leipzig watched Bismarck, who was the flagship, had been silently hurrying, she had been on high alert, and it was inevitable that she was a little exhausted, after all, air defense was the duty of the light cruiser, and now she had undoubtedly lost air supremacy, and now this situation urgently needed Bismarck, who was the flagship, to come up with a way to deal with it, she couldn't help asking:

"Can't we hurry?"

Bismarck frowned, she shook her head, and then said:

"No, if the speed is too fast now, the formation is easy to be flawed, maintaining the wheel formation is the safest way to deal with air raids at the moment, and the reinforcement front line of our mission will not waste ammunition on the way. ”

"But these nasty planes are annoying. Leipzig shook the ship's main gun in her hand angrily, every time her anti-aircraft gun locked on a certain deep-sea carrier-based aircraft, the other party immediately pulled it up again, just outside the range of the anti-aircraft gun, it seems that the deep-sea ship that controls these carrier-based aircraft also knows the power of light patrol air defense.

"yes, these planes are so annoying. The corners of Bismarck's mouth were coldly hooked, and she was also very angry in her heart, but now it is easy to lead to variables, she has always implemented Li Ran's combat orders thoroughly, since this trip is to reinforce the front-line troops, then the first element she considers is to preserve the most complete combat effectiveness to reach the front line, so that she can deal with the war in a state of complete victory.

However, it was not Bismarck's style to wait like this, she muttered for a moment, and then said:

"I think the operators behind the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft are also about to run out of patience, these carrier-based aircraft have limited fuel, and they cannot be replenished in the air, presumably the attack will come soon. ”

Emden pushed his glasses and said:

"That's right, those deep-sea carrier-based aircraft have begun to assemble into an attack formation, divided into sixteen formations, each formation of twelve fighters and eight bombers, if I guess correctly, these sixteen formations will carry out four echelons of bombing. ”

Bismarck heard Emden's analysis, and she whispered:

Get ready, don't get stuck in this place!

"It's coming!" Nuremberg raised her head, and under the reflection of her pupils, those deep-sea carrier-based aircraft that were originally like poisonous snakes finally opened their fangs, no longer caring whether they entered the range of anti-aircraft guns, and dived directly, and then, a series of bombs began to fall.

All the ship squads of the reinforcements were on full alert, and as soon as the air attack of the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft came, all the teams opened fire.

Only Bismarck and Nuremberg said:

"The air defense is left to you, I must go and reconnoitre. ”

As he spoke, Bismarck released his ship-mounted [AR-196s water reconnaissance plane], and after the green reconnaissance plane taxied over the sea for a period of time, Bismarck pulled the reconnaissance plane into the airspace with fewer deep-sea carrier-based aircraft, and then flew in the direction of the Shattered Star Reef area through the thick cloud city.

"How?" Nuremberg watched Bismarck apply for concentration, after all, she knew that Bismarck was a battleship, and although the technology of maneuvering the reconnaissance plane was very rudimentary compared with the skill of the aircraft carrier mother in manipulating the carrier-based aircraft, the reconnaissance plane was only responsible for reconnaissance work after all, and more delicate techniques were needed.

Bismarck did not know that she would reach such a tacit understanding when she fought with Nuremberg for the first time, she nodded and said:

"All going well, but I want to know roughly where the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft are coming from, Emden, can you guess it?"

Emden dodged a beautiful sideways and avoided a cannonball, and the splash of the water inevitably fell on her, wetting her glasses, and she took off her eyes, heard Bismarck's question, wiped them clean with the glasses cloth she had brought with her, and then said:

"Roughly in the northwest of the Northwest Front, there is a very famous reef area in that place, I think the aircraft carrier body of the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft should be on the northwest side of the reef area, but ......"

Bismarck frowned, she was dual-minded, and while operating the reconnaissance plane, she asked:

"But what?"

Leipzig's wet face, which had been soaked by the blinking of the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft thrown nearby, heard Bismarck ask, and replied on Emden's behalf:

"But that place is [the elusive Thundercloud Islands], that sea area is usually rarely set foot in, I heard that many ship girls want to use reconnaissance planes or carrier-based aircraft to conduct reconnaissance, without exception, all planes were shot down in the sea area, Emden, you said that those carrier-based planes came from there, this is not scientific. ”

"Thundercloud Islands?" Bismarck's brow furrowed even tighter, but she didn't have time to ask too much at this time, she just asked:

"Is it really impossible to take off planes in that place?"

Emden put on her glasses and listened to the fact that from time to time there were ships around her who were hit into cannons, and the water column stirred up by the explosion was also higher and higher, she thought for a moment and then said:

"It's impossible from time to time, but because that sea area is empty, the so-called Thundercloud Islands are generally just legends, and it is impossible for the deep sea to choose that sea area. ”

Bismarck paused for a moment, and with this loss of attention, the attention of the carrier-based aircraft she controlled was distracted, and then she smiled bitterly:

"It was discovered, and my reconnaissance plane was shot down. ”

"Damn!" Leipzig scolded angrily, she shot a shuttle of anti-aircraft guns out, shooting down a deep-sea propeller carrier-based aircraft, but before she could express this evil breath, a deep-sea delta wing torpedo plane suddenly appeared from the clouds and aimed behind Leipzig, and there was no other ship behind her.

Seeing that this ghost-like deep-sea delta wing torpedo plane was about to drop its torpedo, suddenly, a formation of carrier-based aircraft flashing golden and colored lights roared over Bismarck's team.

The deep-sea carrier-based aircraft force suffered a devastating blow at once, and Leipzig was saved by it, only to hear a violent explosion behind her, and then watch several white lines cross her sides.

Leipzig looked at the falling deep-sea delta wing torpedo plane and broke out in a cold sweat, and then she looked at the carrier-based plane that flashed golden light and seemed to confirm that she was okay, and returned to the formation.

At this time, the frightened Leipzig heard Nuremberg shout in relief:

"It seems that the carrier-based aircraft team sent by the aircraft carrier reinforcements in the rear has arrived. ”

Leipzig looked at the wreckage of the deep-sea delta wing torpedo plane that fell into the sea with trepidation, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and said:

"yes, thanks to the time. ”

Bismarck believed Nuremberg's judgment, and she immediately ordered:

"Shrink the formation, strive to provide anti-aircraft fire support for your own carrier-based aircraft, now is the time to counterattack!"

As soon as Bismarck finished speaking, Emden, who was at the back of the line, saw her reinforcements through the radar, and she shouted:

"Reinforcements are less than ten nautical miles away, what now?"

Bismarck heard Emden's inquiry, and after a little muttering, she immediately gave the order to fight:

"Let's go and rendezvous, since it is an aircraft carrier formation, we must act as an escort. ”

And while rushing to his own aircraft carrier formation, Bismarck heard Nuremberg say:

"Did you notice just now that this aircraft carrier mother used a set of famous tactics to manipulate carrier-based aircraft. ”

"What tactics?" Bismarck was stunned, in terms of tactics, she only knew that Lexington's skills were very skilled, but she still didn't know the doorway.

Nuremberg's tone was filled with admiration, and she said softly:

"The famous 'Thatch Scissors' tactic! I didn't expect to be able to witness it thirty years later. ”
