Chapter 77: A Hammer Deal

"Report to the Commander!"

The telecommunications officer ran over and shouted, and Liu Xiangzhen was so frightened that he shivered a few times.

After receiving the telegram, Liu Xiangzhen let go of the telecommunications officer, who was also frightened by his horrific behavior.

That guy must have forgotten that Liu Xiangzhen is now the acting commander. It's just that you can't blame him, after all, he used to joke a lot.

At this time, it was more than 400 kilometers away from the northeast.

This distance has exceeded the maximum working distance of the airborne long-wave radio, and even in fine weather, there is no guarantee that the telegram will be sent.

After sending the telegram three times in a row, I finally received a call back.

Not from the flagship of the fleet, but from the aircraft carrier "Mohe".

Because of the use of long-wave radios, there is a risk of being detected by the enemy using triangulation, so the Imperial Navy has long set the rule that it can only be called back by the aircraft carrier where it is located.

As is often the case, neither is the flagship of the fleet.

One way or another, the fleet has received the news and has no worries.

"Major, a call back has been received."

"Get ready."

"Yes!"

After retracting his gaze from the sea in front of him, about twenty kilometers away, Zhu Huasheng glanced at the dense meters in front of him.

After twenty years of hard practice, it's time to see today!

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Huasheng activated the voice communication radio. "The tall chickens call out to the flock, and the whole attack is as planned. Flocks report the situation. ”

The nickname "tall chicken" was given by Li Yunxiang, mainly because Zhu Huasheng has a hooked nose and a long neck, which looks a bit like an African ostrich.

As a result, this nickname became the calling code for the torpedo formations under his direct command.

In addition, the "machine flock" has become a "flock of chickens".

Soon, the various squadrons reported on the situation.

"Sea eagles flutter their wings and sweep the seas!"

"Sea eagles flutter their wings and sweep across the seas......"

I don't know who took the lead, but the communication channel suddenly became chaotic, and the pilots shouted the battle cry of the naval aviation loudly.

Zhu Huasheng did not shout slogans, because the current situation is not optimistic at all.

In order to find the Saoyi fleet as soon as possible, Zhu Huasheng ordered a scattered search 15 minutes ago, and then lost contact with the aircraft group of the Second Carrier-based Air Wing.

Now, I don't know where those dozens of carrier-based aircraft are!

In addition, there is no distraction now.

Ahead, about twenty kilometers away, more than a dozen warships were turning.

Although from a distance, there are some small black dots, but through the telescope, you can see that one of them is the aircraft carrier of the Narrow Imperial State.

That's right, it's the "Akagi".

However, it could also be the "Jiahe".

The appearance of these two aircraft carriers is relatively similar, the difference is not very obvious, and they are so far away that they may not be able to be identified even with a telescope.

Of course, no matter which one it is, it is the aircraft carrier of the narrow navy.

In addition, the "Chicheng" and "Jiahe" belong to the First Air Force, and they are the two fleet aircraft carriers with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Sagi Navy.

As expected, there are at least two aircraft carriers in the vicinity, namely the "Canglong" and "Feilong".

It's just that it's still too far from that aircraft carrier.

Ahead, something like a moth was flying towards you.

That's right, that's a fighter.

It's getting faster and faster, it's very dexterous, and the rate of climb is just as fast as it is frightening.

"It's Zero!"

Hearing the wingman pilot's reminder, Zhu Hua reacted violently.

That's right, that's the legendary Zero.

Fuck me! Zhu Huasheng cursed secretly in his heart, and almost scolded out.

I really didn't expect that the Sagai Navy would get this kind of fighter before the outbreak of the war, but this also proves that the information obtained by the Sixth Bureau is not wrong.

The Nuland Federation and the Kingdom of Bran have been actively helping the Narrow Empire, including by providing aircraft engines.

What made Zhu Huasheng angry was that those guys in the sixth bureau patted their chests and assured, saying that it was impossible for Zero War to serve this year, and it would be next year at the earliest.

Of course, in the face of fighters, whether it is a zero battle or a 96 ship battle, they can only be beaten, and no pilot of a torpedo attack aircraft will be so idiotic as to exchange fire with fighters.

"Chickens, follow me."

After saying hello, Zhu Huasheng pressed down the joystick and controlled the torpedo machine to dive.

Torpedo planes are bulky and far inferior to fighters in terms of speed and agility. However, one of the great benefits of clunkyness is stability. At low altitudes, the stability of the torpedo aircraft is the best, while the light fighter is different, and may not be able to fly stably in the turbulence at low altitudes.

It is so, in the face of fighters, the lower the torpedo machine flies, the better.

Even if it is flying close to the sea, it is a life and death.

"Fly slower in the water chicken formation, and when we bring the air defense fighters to a low altitude, you will speed up the penetration."

"The water chicken received, we assault from a high altitude!"

After receiving the reply, Li Yunxiang adjusted the communication channel again.

In Li Yunxiang's hometown, "water chicken" refers to kingfishers, and he uses this to refer to dive bombers, but it is quite vivid.

"Chickens, are you ready?"

"A small squad is ready."

"Team Two is ready."

"Three squads are ready."

"Let's do it!"

This time, Zhu Huasheng shouted loudly.

As he roared, he jerked back the lever and pushed the throttle all the way down.

With a roar and a violent vibration that seemed to be about to fall apart, the torpedo plane pulled up with difficulty, turning from a dive to a horizontal flight.

Flying torpedo attack planes as dive bombers, I'm afraid only the pilots of the Imperial Navy.

The key, of course, is that the Exocet is strong enough to withstand the violent vibrations of a rapid dive, but at the cost of being very bulky.

Almost at the same time, in fact, a few seconds later, two rows of dense bullets rained down from the sky.

"Hurry up, fire and beat that damn shrimp!" The navigator shouted loudly, more excited than the machine gunner behind him.

In the mouths of the officers and men of the Liang Xia Navy, the narrow navy is the shrimp in the Guia Ocean.

"Check the torpedo and get ready to drop the bomb!" Zhu Huasheng reminded. When the attack is launched, the crew in the middle is responsible for dropping the bomb.

Of the three people of a torpedo machine, in addition to the pilot, the one with the heaviest task is the navigator in the middle.

A few bullets hit the cockpit cover, and Zhu Huasheng was unmoved.

Now, all he could see was the majestic ship ahead.

The Exocet is indeed bulky, but one of the benefits of being bulky is that it is strong enough, such as the ability to make a canopy out of thicker glass.

Without being hit by the vital point, it was difficult for the 7.7-mm machine gun of the Zero to shoot down the Exocet.

The Imperial Navy conducted tests and found that the Exocet was able to block the more powerful 8mm machine gun bullets in all vital parts.

According to the manufacturer's propaganda, the "Exocet" is the torpedo attack aircraft with the best armor protection and the strongest survivability today.

In the end, you can't look at the propaganda.

"Major, plane number three crashed into the sea."

Hearing the reminder, Zhu Huasheng immediately looked to the left.

The wingman on the left has disappeared, to be precise, shot down, crashed into the sea.

"Hold steady, don't panic, don't scatter!" Zhu Huasheng once again reminded other torpedo machines, because they are easier to shoot down after dispersion.

Although this was the first actual combat exercise, the exercises in the past few years have made Zhu Huasheng realize that the torpedo attack planes are actually a one-shot deal.

Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on this trick!
