At the end of the air battle, in just 20 minutes, less than 40 of the more than 300 planes on both sides remained.

Most of the fleeing fighters were shot down, and only five fighters escaped back to the Hyuga, and Ou Yang pursued it until it was close to the range of the local aircraft carrier fleet before leading 33 fighters back to the triumphant home.

Qi Wei personally greeted the airstrip, the entire fleet was boiling, and the thirty-three pilots who returned victoriously became the well-deserved heroes of the fleet, and the cheers and whistles resounded in the sky. Before the decisive battle, this initial victory was commendable, and the momentum of the entire fleet was greatly improved, and the belief in victory became more firm.

Qi Wei took Ou Yang to the command center and asked about the details of the battle in detail, but Ou Yang couldn't figure out the way for the sudden disappearance of Cao Jiao, but the addition of thirty-three fighters was great news for the North Sea Fleet, and the two of them quickly skipped this question and seized the last time to discuss tactics.

"Twenty minutes until the enemy is engaged." The intelligence officer reported to Qi Wei and others who were in a meeting.

"What's going on with the Hyuga fleet?" Qi Wei asked.

"No, they're coming at our speed."

"Pay attention to the observation and order all ships to be put in a state of first-class combat readiness."

"Yes!"

After the intelligence officer left, Qi Wei said: "It seems that the enemy is in a hurry to take revenge, and without the air force, we dare to be so arrogant, we must be careful of what tricks they have." ”

Zhang Zheng said: "Do you want to send a reconnaissance ship now, or the fleet temporarily slows down and lets the 211 submarine go to feel the enemy's situation first?" ”

Ou Yang said: "Why don't I go and see it clearly in the sky." ”

Qi Wei shook his head and said, "The two armies compete with each other, and the brave wins." Now the momentum of the fleet is in full swing, and if it slows down, it will affect the momentum, so that the frigates 511 and 512 will accelerate to the front of the fleet. Turn on the deep-sea radar on the ship, and then guard against the little devil's submarine first. ”

"Ou Yang, let your brothers hurry up and rest, and in 10 minutes, they will take off in full force and bring all the bombs they can bring, since we have air superiority, we must make good use of it."

"Yes!"

"Be careful not to act without permission, wait for the order from my side, and use a good knife on the blade."

"Understood. Make sure to drop all the bombs on them and keep them hot. ”

"Zhang Zheng, let's go back to the command center now. I have a feeling that the enemy will change formations before the battle starts, and we need to be ready to deal with them at any time. ”

"Okay."

Ten minutes later, 33 Chinese (Chinese) fighters, refueled and filled with ammunition, took to the air, and after taking off, the fighters quickly pulled up and hovered over the aircraft carrier. As long as Qi Wei gave an order, they would rush forward with a roar and give the enemy a thunderous blow.

on the aircraft carrier. Qi Wei could already see the powerful Yue Jun naval group on the opposite side in the telescope, just as he expected, at this time, the enemy's formation really changed, the destroyer that was originally rushing in front slowed down and moved to both sides, and the aircraft carrier that was supposed to be in the rear actually rushed to the front!

Zhang Zheng said suspiciously: "What do you want to do?" How do you think of an aircraft carrier as a head ship? Isn't he afraid that we will concentrate our firepower to sink his aircraft carrier? ”

"Their operational choice is very correct," Qi Wei said, "There are no fighters on the aircraft carrier anymore, and staying in the rear can only be regarded as a center." Rather than that, it is better to use the firepower and super-large tonnage of aircraft carriers to attract firepower to other warships. If I'm right, the commander of the army is no longer on the carrier. ”

Zhang Zheng said: "Then what should we do?" Now the enemy is in an all-attack formation. The firepower of 1 aircraft carrier, 1 battleship, 2 cruisers and 4 destroyers is enough to sink any battleship in an instant, and this is not counting the possibility of hiding under the water, if we meet the enemy head-on, we will suffer. ”

Qi Wei didn't say anything, still using a telescope to observe the enemy's situation.

"Report, both sides are in range after 5 minutes." The informant said.

From the telescope, Qi Wei clearly saw that all the enemy's ship-borne gun barrels were aimed at the North Sea Fleet.

"Order the ships in front to slow down and disperse, and let the aircraft carriers rush to the front!" Qi Wei said.

"Huh? Captain, is it really necessary for us to work so hard? We only need to disperse the formation to deal with the enemy, we have Ouyang them, I think the longer the time will be beneficial to us. Zhang Zheng said.

"Order Ouyang's flying group to pull me up, then make a detour behind the enemy, and sink the frigate behind the enemy first." Qi Wei ordered.

"In this case, I will command here, and you should quickly transfer to the 513 frigate, the target of the aircraft carrier is too big and dangerous, and if something happens to the commander, this battle will definitely be lost." Zhang Zheng understood that Qi Wei had to gamble once, and this kind of hedging tactical aircraft carrier would be very dangerous, and he wanted to protect the captain's safety.

"No, I'll stay here, you go to Destroyer No. 110, Destroyer No. 110, Destroyer No. 111, and Destroyer No. 112 are all under your unified command, and your combat mission is to rush into the enemy fleet at any cost!" Qi Wei lowered his voice and whispered in Zhang Zheng's ear for a while.

Zhang Zheng's expression slowly changed from surprise to resoluteness, and he said rightly: "Yes!" Mission completion guaranteed! ”

Qi Wei said: "Your task is extremely dangerous, you must be careful, the success or failure is all up to you." ”

Zhang Zheng said: "Captain is also careful, please wait for me." ”

"Okay, I'm here waiting for your good news, go ahead." Qi Wei and Zhang Zheng shook hands tightly.

When the Whale Song aircraft carrier rushed to the front of the fleet, the artillery fire on the Hyuga also rang out at the same time, and more than a dozen rockets were fired at the Whale Song aircraft carrier.

Unlike the enemy, around the aircraft carrier is four frigates, and these four frigates have long been in full array, and dozens of interceptor missiles have been launched at the same time to intercept the missiles of the Japanese army on the way.

The continuous sound of explosions reminded me that all the missiles of the first round of the army were intercepted.

"Fire!" Qi Wei gave the order to attack.

The artillery fire of both sides was full of fire, and it was as if they wanted to shoot out all the missiles in the shortest possible time, and the traces of missiles in the sky were staggered like clusters, and the continuous explosion of missiles reflected the sky into the color of burning clouds, and many warships were hit by bullets and caught fire, and thick black smoke rose into the sky one after another.

Ou Yang's aircraft carrier Whale Song has been hit by three missiles, the most dangerous of which almost overturned the combat command room, the 512 frigate has begun to sink, and the 511 frigate has also been hit by a bullet and caught fire, and the situation is very unoptimistic.

At this moment, the sound of bomb explosions sounded behind the enemy fleet, and 33 fighters launched an attack on the frigates and supply ships in the rear of the Japanese army in time, and this sudden attack quickly caused the two enemy ships to be blown into two parts and sunk into the sea.

"Zhang Zheng, the time has come, it's up to you!" Qi Wei ordered Zhang Zheng to attack! (To be continued......)
