The Sparrowhawk fighter jets, piloted by a fighter instructor and 11 other fighter pilots, were tasked with intercepting incoming "enemy aircraft." Then, Deng Zichao set off with 11 torpedo bomber pilots, and Zhang Naiding also set off with 11 other dive bomber pilots.

Tan Renhao stayed in the observation post on the shore. The torpedo boat towing the barge was to be the object of the bomber's "attack", and 12 fighters with empty bombs were to provide anti-aircraft cover for the "fleet". This is the actual combat training arranged by Tan Renhao, so that the pilots can experience the intensity of the battlefield when they are trained, and let them gradually adapt to launching attacks on battleships when enemy planes are flying in the sky, instead of dropping bombs on fixed targets on the ground without any obstruction as in the past.

This kind of training actually trains both fighter pilots and bomber pilots, and the most important thing is to train the psychological quality of new pilots, so that they can still remain calm in a fierce combat environment, know what to do, and become familiar with the "combat" situation. That way, when they step on the battlefield, they won't be worried until the interception of enemy fighters. In addition, it is much more difficult to "attack" a moving target on the lake than to attack a fixed target on the ground, which actually trains the quality of bomber pilots.

Tan Renhao drew up a complete set of training plans for the new pilots. This near-combat training will last for two months, and each pilot will complete at least two rounds of bombing training each day, while fighter pilots will cooperate with bombers to deal with the instructors who fly the fighters, in addition to simulating fleet air defense training to intercept bombers, and play the role of escort fighters.

Although the high-intensity training made the new pilots cry, the results were very good. Two months later, when the first batch of 240 bomber pilots and 80 fighter pilots graduated, they were much better than the previous graduates. Dive bomber pilots were able to accurately drop bombs on the barge that was bumping around the lake at a speed of 31 knots, while torpedo bomber pilots were able to accurately drop torpedoes at a distance of 800 meters to concentrate the barge. Fighter pilots have advanced even more. Later, after Luo Jinming was sent, even Luo Jinming sighed a little at the fighting skills of those novices.

Talking about Renhao's efforts and dedication is not without rewards. After experiencing the Battle of Jeju Island, Tan Renhao has been deeply touched by the importance of naval pilots. Only with the best pilots can naval aviation dominate future naval warfare. During the war, the Imperial Navy relied on the training method created by Tan Renhao to train a large number of outstanding pilots, and finally defeated the strong enemy and won the war.

In the past two months, the situation on the battlefield has also changed rapidly. Tan Renhao is buried in his own work, but he no longer pays attention to the development of the battle situation as before. Even when he was free, Tan Renhao didn't want to talk about the battle situation with others. He may be running away, or he doesn't want to know the outcome of failure. However, it is impossible for him to escape, because he cannot escape his fate at all.

By the time Tan Renhao was called to General Liao Hanxiang's office, he had already sent four batches of thousands of outstanding pilots to the Imperial Navy (at that time, the interval between each phase of pilots was only five days, not two months). Of course, now Tan Renhao also knows that General Liao Hanxiang does not intend to let him live this kind of "paradise" like life again.

"Look at this battle report!" Liao Hanxiang gave a document to Tan Renhao.

Tan Renhao noticed that the general's expression was very unsightly, he hesitated for a moment, and then opened the report.

"It's just nonsense, Jiang Bangguo is old and wise, he is not fighting for the Imperial Navy, fighting for the Empire, but fighting for his own face, this is simply joking with the fate of the Empire, the subjects of the Empire, and the tens of millions of soldiers of the Imperial Navy!"

Tan Renhao was slightly startled, he rarely saw Liao Hanxiang so excited, but he didn't hurry to speak, but quickly looked at the documents in his hand.

During the three months that Tan Renhao came to Wuxi, Jiang Bangguo ordered the Second Fleet to attack again, but it was still defeated and returned, and it was not able to break the blockade of the Japanese Navy in the East China Sea, and it was even more impossible to recover Ryukyu Island. And this time, Jiang Bangguo actually concentrated all the warships again, and even transferred all the combat ships in the Fifth Fleet except for the aircraft carrier to Zhoushan, preparing to attack Ryukyu Island again. Tan Renhao was also slightly shocked in his heart, this is the tactics of the navy, this is completely the tactics of the army. Jiang Bangguo was obviously desperately trying to take the last bit of capital of the Imperial Navy, and the Japanese Navy had already concentrated two powerful fleets near Ryukyu Island, and the three aircraft carriers of its Southwest Combined Fleet had completed repair work and were heading for the waters of the Ryukyu Islands. In the South Seas, Japan had already begun its march on the Andaman Islands, and its Southern Fleet was returning to the Ryukyu Islands. In other words, the Japanese Navy has freed up its hands and is ready to do a final decisive battle with the Tang Imperial Navy!

"Prime Minister Xue Xiyue approved this plan?" Tan Renhao frowned slightly.

Liao Hanxiang let out a sigh, then nodded, and said: "The prime minister has approved it, but this will be Marshal Jiang Bangguo's last chance, if he can't fulfill his original promise, then the prime minister will consider changing the naval commander." This time, it is very likely that General Nie Renfeng will go up. ”

Tan Renhao was shocked again, Nie Renfeng is the retired principal of the Imperial Navy Officers Academy, if he is appointed as the commander of the Navy, then there will be no problems in personnel, at least most of the young generals and officers in the Navy are trained by Nie Renfeng. However, this also means that the last bit of the Imperial Navy may also be defeated in the hands of Jiang Bangguo.

"You can prepare first." Liao Hanxiang stood up, "The Second Fleet has already left Zhoushan Port yesterday, and I believe that in ten days, there will be a war report." General Nie Renfeng is very much of you, if he is the commander of the navy, then I believe you will leave here soon. ”

Tan Renhao nodded slightly, although he felt that it was not a good choice to leave now, but he knew very well what General Liao Hanxiang meant. Liao Hanxiang has lost the opportunity to become the chief of staff of the Navy again, but Tan Renhao still has a long way to go!
