When friends meet, it is inevitable that there will be a frolic, Tan Renhao returned to the fleet, and everyone from Rear Admiral Ji Xiaobing to Major Deng Zichao was very happy. Tan Renhao was also very happy, the Fifth Fleet, which is now the First Task Force, is his hometown, and it is here that he finds the feeling of home.

"General, how is the situation of the fleet now?" Tan Renhao told Ji Xiaobin and several other important staff officers about the task deployed by Marshal Nie Renfeng, and he was now the colonel chief of staff of the First Task Force.

Ji Xiaobin glanced at several other people in the cabin and said, "The situation of the fleet is not bad, and many people have been holding their breath after training in Bohai Bay for several months. To be honest, we fought well in the last battle, and there was nothing wrong with it. Now, the 'Taizu' has also completed the repair work, and we came to Qingdao to pick up this aircraft carrier. Since Marshal Nie Renfeng has given us this task, then we must not let the marshal down. ”

"Yes, after holding it for so long, it's time to shut up those who have been clamoring for the Fifth Fleet to play a supporting role!" Hao Dongjue became excited, "At least, we should be rehabilitated Zhaoxue!" ”

Tan Renhao glanced at Hao Dongjue, and then asked, "So, when can the fleet depart?" ”

"Go?" Ji Xiaobin glanced at Tan Renhao in a little surprise.

"Yes, we have to rush for time. Tonight, I'm going to come up with a rough plan. The rest of the detailed operational planning was carried out separately by the officers of the General Staff. "Tan Renhao lit a cigarette, as the chief of staff of the fleet, smoking in the cabin is not considered a violation of discipline." This time, I don't plan to make a detailed plan, the battlefield will always change faster than our plan, and we can only make decisions based on the actual situation. Of course, some necessary plans are necessary. ”

"Then I will go to organize personnel to accept the 'Taizu' aircraft carrier in the evening, the officers and men are ready-made, and they all came with the fleet. The replenishment of oil has also been completed this evening, and we will be able to leave Qingdao early tomorrow morning. ”

Tan Renhao nodded, pondered for a while, and asked again: "When I started to get on the ship, I saw that the anti-aircraft guns on the 'Li Jing' had been replaced, right?" ”

"All of them were replaced, the anti-aircraft guns on all the battleships were replaced, and two more heavy cruisers were equipped with radars." Chang Jianxin answered Tan Renhao's question, "This time, we have also installed a new radar, which is used to direct the fire of anti-aircraft guns, so that 120-mm anti-aircraft guns can fire at air targets 10 kilometers away." ”

"Yes, it seems that the air defense of the fleet has definitely increased a lot."

"You can rest assured that after a few months in Bohai Bay, we didn't get a lot of sleep. All the officers and men of the fleet were training desperately, and hundreds of tons of shells were knocked out alone, which made the officers of the logistics department die of heartache! Hao Dongjue shouted, "However, the quality of the officers and men must have improved a lot, and I heard that this time they are going south to fight, and many officers and soldiers are seizing the time to train when they are sailing." ”

Tan Renhao nodded. "So, what's going on with the pilots now?"

"The pilots of the Fifth Air Wing have basically been retained, and the additional batch is the best." Ji Xiaobin gave several people a cigarette, and then lit it himself, "In the past few months, Luo Jinming has been responsible for training them. Now, Deng Zichao and Zhang Naiding have also returned to the fleet, and it was General Liao Hanxiang who put them back. When he heard that we were going to war, General Liao Hanxiang called us several times and told us to be the first to inform him after the victory. ”

At this time, Tan Renhao laughed. At present, the combat effectiveness of the 1st Task Force is at its peak, which is a basic guarantee for victory.

"By the way, our aerial bombs, as well as torpedoes, are all improved models." Lei Shaoqing also spoke, "According to our requirements, the Qingdao Arsenal has thickened the body of the aerial bomb by two millimeters, so that the armor-piercing ability has been improved a lot, and part of the ****** is mixed into the loaded ZHA medicine, although the charge is less, but the power is greater, and the trajectory of its dive bomb is straighter." The Swordfish torpedo was also modified, reducing a pair of battery packs, adding a hundred kilograms of ZHA, and using the same high-explosive ZHA charge as the aerial bomb. We did the following tests, and its power was not much worse than that of the Japanese 'spear', and it can be regarded as the most powerful aviation torpedo today. However, the firing range has been shortened considerably, and the maximum delivery distance is only 3,000 meters. ”

"This is enough, before our torpedo bombers have never dropped torpedoes at a distance of 1500 meters from an enemy ship." Tan Renhao let out a sigh, "So, this batch of ammunition is now on the aircraft carrier?" ”

"It's all on the dock, and I organized the personnel to load the ammunition onto the aircraft carrier at night, and guaranteed that the fleet could depart early tomorrow morning." Ji Xiaobin answered this question.

"Alright, old Ji, then we'll split up and take charge of the departure of the fleet, and I'll come up with a plan tonight for someone to send back to the Navy Command at once. The fleet will depart tomorrow before dawn. ”

That night, Tan Renhao called a few familiar fleet staff officers, and then assigned the task of drawing up the battle plan. These staff officers followed Tan Renhao all night, and finally came up with the plan at four o'clock in the morning. Then, Tan Renhao sent someone to send the battle plan to the airport, and an officer returned to Zhoushan Port with the plan. He did not adopt the easily exposed telegram.

That night, Ji Xiaobin took Hao Dongjue and Chang recommended the new two to be busy replenishing fuel for the fleet, loading the ammunition in the dock warehouse onto the aircraft carrier, and of course, replenishing the aircraft carrier with some fresh food. As a result, the workers on the docks were mobilized, and even the officers and men of the fleet took part in the loading of supplies. A dozen oil pressurized trucks worked on the dock for a night to refill all the battleships.

When Tan Renhao sent people to send the battle plan back to the naval headquarters, the fleet was also ready to leave. Although many of the officers and men of the fleet had been busy all night, none of them were tired when they knew that they were about to embark on their journey. When the battleships left Qingdao Port one after another, most of the officers and men came to the deck, looking at Qingdao Port gradually moving away in the dawn and twilight, and watching the land disappear into the darkness before dawn. Task Force 1 embarked on its first expedition.
