In the Storm Harbor, Zhang Lin is urgently dispatching troops, and he is also aware of the dangers this time, maybe a small conflict will detonate a decisive battle of the main fleet!

This Lexington-class aircraft carrier is the only aircraft carrier in the Storm Strait, and the expanded hangar can accommodate one hundred and ten aircraft, all of which are folded wings, this kind of aircraft is really backward in Zhang Lin's opinion, compared with the aircraft of World War II, it is too far behind, only 220 kilometers per hour, and the amount of ammunition carried is very poor, it is simply a waste of the Lexington-class aircraft carrier!

But it doesn't matter, the warships of the Pirate Alliance don't pay much attention to aviation, the anti-aircraft firepower of those battleships is not worth mentioning, Zhang Lin has long expected that all the warships of the Storm Fleet have a large number of anti-aircraft artillery groups, and in the future, aviation will be the biggest enemy of the fleet!

This Lexington-class aircraft carrier is being prepared, a large amount of ammunition has begun to be loaded into the ammunition depot, and the pilots have a good grasp of the control of the aircraft after a period of training, it is time to fight face-to-face with the Black Dragon fleet, and now Zhang Lin has no heart to play with Allen!

Alan looked at the telegram sent by his patrol team, thought thoughtfully for a while, and laughed evilly: "Zhang Lin, if I guess correctly, you also want to take this opportunity to fight with me once, so I will play with you this time!" ”

Ai put down the telegram in his hand and walked outside: "Adjutant, order the fleet to assemble and go to the Storm Strait!" ”

"Yes! Sir! ”

The warships of the Black Dragon Fleet began to gather, as the ace fleet of the Pirate Alliance, the Black Dragon Fleet has seven battleships, all of which are new battleships developed by the Pirate Alliance through various methods, the caliber of the main gun is unified 410 mm, equipped with a powerful secondary gun, and the heavy cruiser is not bad, the heavy cruiser with the largest caliber is a metamorphosis research, the caliber of the main gun is expanded and the main gun is unified with 240 mm of main guns, and it is equipped with two quadruple 550 mm torpedo tubes, as a price, It's just that the armor protection has become weak, and the main armor belt is only one hundred and twenty mm, which is difficult to withstand the shelling of warships of the same type at regular distances! There are five such heavy cruisers in the Black Dragon fleet!

As for the destroyers and light cruisers of the Black Dragon fleet, they should not be underestimated, these two types of ships are the latest types of warships, the light cruisers are equipped with a main gun of 150 mm, a total of nine in triple, and the destroyers are equipped with rapid-fire guns of 100 mm, in order to pursue torpedo attacks, they are equipped with 550 mm caliber torpedo tubes, a total of twenty-four such warships, of which there are fourteen destroyers, and the rest are light cruisers!

On the other hand, the number of battleships in the Storm Strait is less than that of the Black Dragon Fleet, with three main battleships, one battle cruiser, four heavy cruisers, only six destroyers, and only three light cruisers.

As for the Black Dragon Fleet aircraft carriers, there are a lot of Storm Straits, and the Lexington-class aircraft carriers are armored aircraft carriers, which are far ahead of the Black Dragon Fleet in terms of displacement and hangars, and aircraft carriers are not valued here, and it is normal to invest less in them!

The dispatch of the Black Dragon Fleet was under the cover of darkness, in order to cover people's eyes, the searchlights of the battleships were not turned on, and they were sailing by radar and nautical compass, and there were a large number of destroyers escorting them in the distance, driving away the ships sailing around!

In the Storm Strait, the three main battleships repaired in the harbor are all out of the port, ready to participate in this battle, and the two large supply ships are also nervously maintaining and working, once the supplies are ready, these big guys will go to the battlefield to compete with the Black Dragon Fleet!

It was already late at night the next day, the main forces of the Black Dragon fleet had already arrived in the predetermined sea area, under the cover of night, a large number of destroyers began to move quietly, the main fleet had been cruising around, and now was not the best time for a decisive battle!

Zhang Lin was on the Liberty, and the radar of the Liberty discovered the enemy the day before, but the Black Dragon fleet was very careful, and in less than an hour, the fleet disappeared on the radar screen, which made Zhang Lin keep guessing what Alan wanted to do?

But this is not very important, on the day of the departure of the main fleet, the patrol fleets of both sides ended the confrontation, each returned to the perimeter of the fleet, and began their own escort mission, and the Lexington-class aircraft carrier in the Storm Strait was named "Tempest"!

Under the escort of three destroyers and two heavy cruisers, the fleet was followed far away, the searchlights on the deck of the aircraft carrier illuminated the surroundings, the elevator at the stern of the ship was transporting the aircraft from the hangar, the ground crew was routinely inspecting and maintaining several battles, and then the ground crew suddenly waved the flag in their hands, and a fighter began to take off on the runway, and as the plane took off at the end of the bow deck, the ground crew began to maintain the next fighter!

"Sir, the aircraft carrier has sent a telegram that eleven fighters have been dispatched for reconnaissance, and the Black Dragon fleet has still not been found, and the enemy should have also implemented radio silence and turned off the lighting equipment on all ships!" Li Li looked at Zhang Lin and said his speculation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Lin looked back at Li Li and said: "This is just a basic strategy, if the Black Dragon Fleet is so easy to find by us, it will be a waste of fame, order all ships to release all reconnaissance aircraft, be careful!" ”

"Will the enemy sneak up?" Li Li asked.

"If the enemy discharges destroyers to attack us, at night, it will be difficult to dodge the torpedo attacks of the destroyers, and in the event of such a thing, we will be very passive, and in the same way, the Black Dragon fleet does not want such a thing to happen! I guess Alan is looking for us now, too! Zhang Lin explained!

On the battleships of the Storm Fleet, the sailors began to get busy, on the catapult aircraft behind the stern, the water reconnaissance aircraft were ready, with the roar of the aircraft engines, each ship began to release its own planes, in this life-and-death battle, everyone did not dare to slack off!

Alan was holding red wine in the command tower at this time, slowly savoring it: "Has the reconnaissance team found the main force of the Storm Strait?" ”

Allen's adjutant was a little weak at this time: "Sir, the Storm Fleet has released a large number of planes looking for us, and our reconnaissance team was almost discovered by the enemy, so far, no one dares to explore!" ”

Alan shook the wine glass in his hand and said to the adjutant: "It seems to be tricky, do you know where the enemy plane is flying from?" ”

The adjutant was in a cold sweat at this time, and he said nervously to Allen: "I don't know, the enemy is also very careful, their planes all appear from different directions, and there is no way to guess the enemy's position!" ”

After listening to this, Allen's face was a little gloomy: "Release our plane, before dawn, we must find the main force of the Storm Fleet!" ”
