On August 28, at 11 o'clock in the morning, the other US fleets all arrived at the predetermined position, in order to avoid accidents, they scattered very openly, but once any fleet was attacked, other ships could quickly reflect and rescue it.

The U.S. fleet is now divided into two, one is 7 fleets led by Spruance, and the other three fleets are acting alone, they have long bypassed the Chinese fleet and are now 500 kilometers east of the Marshall Islands south of Wake Island,

This special fleet is used to deal with the Japanese fleet, and as long as he appears, more than 500 planes on the eight aircraft carriers of this American fleet will deal a devastating blow to the Japanese fleet.

At 11:30, a staff officer said, "Sir, when are we going to start moving?" "Spruance here has a total of 17 aircraft carriers and 1,200 aircraft, which is extremely large, while China on the opposite side has less than 400 aircraft, so it can be said that the ratio is three to one.

Spruance said: "Let all the fleets prepare, this time we will annihilate the Chinese fleet in one fell swoop, and at the same time blow the enemy forces on Wake Island to pieces." ”

"In addition, let the submarine report the latest news, confirm that the three aircraft carriers of the Chinese fleet are still not there, and whether any fleets other than the Beiyang Fleet have been found in the area."

"Yes."

In the next two hours, the US submarines sent the latest news, and some of their submarines even dived into the islands of the Marshall Islands with harbors, wanting to see if there were any Japanese warships inside.

At this moment, on the Beiyang Fleet, Li Huixian and Huang Peiyao are also anxious, now they are the commanders of the fleet, they must bear everything, they have always dreamed of being a fleet commander, not the commander of an aircraft carrier, and now they know that the fleet commander is really not easy to be,

In order not to expose himself, Huang Feihu commanded the ship-island aircraft carrier fleet to disconnect from them, and all the communication equipment of the ship-island aircraft carrier fleet remained radio-silent.

Li Huixian couldn't contact Huang Feihu, of course he didn't contact him, when he did, they had to be attacked, otherwise they couldn't be contacted.

Lee Hui Sin must now have full authority to decide everything and bear the consequences.

As more and more U.S. submarines were killed, and as time went by, Li Huixian felt that the threat from the U.S. Pacific Fleet was getting bigger and bigger, and a sea battle was about to break out.

"Strengthen your vigilance, don't let up, especially the radar soldiers in the radar room, the life of our fleet is in your hands."

"Yes, sir," the ships replied to Li Huixian's words,

Li Huixian said again: "Move 50 kilometers closer to Wake Island." ”

"Understood, sir."

"Understood, sir."

……

The Beiyang Fleet soon approached Wake Island, and arrived at the predetermined position at half past one.

On the one hand, he was worried that he would be discovered by the Americans, and on the other hand, he was worried that the Americans would attack the Beiyang Fleet, and they would not have time to rescue, after all, they were far away in order to avoid being discovered.

Judging from the analysis of the information detected by the AWACS aircraft, the Americans will be able to converge at the latest evening, and of course it is possible that they have already converged.

Huang Feihu and the others naturally hoped to attack the assembled US fleet at night, and did not want the US fleet to attack now.

Let the Beiyang Fleet lean on the edge of Wake Island and let the Americans find out, just to attract their attention and at the same time confuse the Americans,

"General, whether we want to attack or not?"

Spruance said, "Wait, wait." ”

"I don't see any need, there is no Chinese fleet around, not to mention the strength of the Chinese, we also know that now defeat their Beiyang Fleet, take Wake Island, and then go to clean up their Beiyang Fleet, from now on we will not have to face the Chinese fleet for at least a year."

Spruance shook his head and said, "Mitchell, I always felt that something was wrong. ”

"What's wrong, isn't the situation obvious, China's Beiyang Fleet is located at Wake Island, and their Pacific Fleet is still in the North Pacific, haven't we already detected it very clearly."

Spruance said: "Mitchell, it's because I understand it too well that I feel wrong and worry." ”

"You're worried about the Japanese side."

"On the one hand, there is more concern that the Chinese will have some other conspiracy."

"What kind of conspiracy can there be, in the era of air power, I'm afraid the only thing that can kill the aircraft carrier fleet is the plane."

Spruance agreed, at least for now, if you want to kill an aircraft carrier fleet, generally speaking, there are planes, of course, if you don't want to use submarines and other ships to consume and then kill this fleet, although it is possible, but this is a fool's doing,

In addition, Spruance also knows such a thing as missiles, but judging from the current situation used in the war, the accuracy is too low, and if it can be accurately hit, it will definitely be a nightmare for aircraft carriers.

Spruance understands the prospects for the development of such a thing, and missiles can strike farther and more accurately as the technology matures, just as the development prospects of airplanes are limitless.

"Wait, we don't care about this half a day." Since the Chinese fleet deliberately exposed itself, he did not need to be in such a hurry to attack, see what tricks the Chinese play,

Li Huixian and the others waited nervously for dark, they could be said to be afraid, the US military had many more planes than them, if they really attacked, most of their ships would probably be bombed into the sea.

The officers and men on the aircraft carrier of the Beiyang Fleet are always ready, and they will respond to the attack of the Americans at any time,

Night finally fell at six o'clock, and the American fleet did not attack the Beiyang Fleet, so that the probability that the Americans would attack the Beiyang Fleet at night was one percent.

At the same time that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the plan began, and the ship-island aircraft carrier fleet led by Huang Feihu immediately drove towards the US Pacific Fleet in the east.

Huang Feihu is also very nervous at the moment, he is too young, and his experience is in the past two years, and he is about to kill several enemy fleets and hundreds of ships.

According to the predetermined plan, if the Beiyang Fleet is attacked, they can only send a radio to Huang Feihu, otherwise the Beiyang Fleet can only wait for the radio sent to them by Huang Feihu,

Huang Feihu starts at six o'clock, they will normally march to 3 o'clock, and then start attacking, of course, this is mainly to facilitate the Beiyang Fleet can also participate in the attack,

According to Huang Feihu's idea, the ship-island aircraft carrier has been attacking, and the planes on the three aircraft carriers can participate in at half past four, and they can also return to the aircraft carrier at dawn.

However, this is only Huang Feihu's scheduled plan, and it is not necessarily necessary to implement it in real time, there are a large number of US submarines in these sea areas, and the ship-island aircraft carrier fleet is also so large, if it is discovered, it can only be attacked in advance.

Most of the personnel on the ship-island aircraft carrier have rested, only the people who started are busy, but the surrounding submarines and destroyers have not rested, they are nervous anti-submarine to avoid the US submarine attack ship island-type aircraft carrier,

Soon it was 12 o'clock, although the fleet was moving at the fastest speed, but the speed of the ship-island aircraft carriers was too slow, and they only walked 100 kilometers,

During this period, an American submarine was sunk, but fortunately it is too far away from the American fleet, even now the distance of the aircraft carrier fleet, the American fleet is also 900 kilometers, if it is not closer during the day, it will be even farther,

At half past 12 o'clock in the morning, everyone was quietly woken up, only to see that the aircraft carrier was busy, the planes began to load bombs, and the planes were pushed out of the hangar.

But the deck was already full of planes, and they were ready to take off after the last check.

"Double-check." Huang Feihu shouted,

"Lao Huang, are we going to take off early, we haven't been discovered."

"If we take off at three o'clock, it will take at least an hour and a half to arrive, then it will be half past four, if the Americans take off at this time, they can return to their aircraft carrier after dawn, if we attack two hours in advance, the first round of attack on their aircraft carrier, then they may not be able to support the dawn, and even if it does, the bombed aircraft carrier may not be able to repair the runway so quickly."

"It turns out that you fought with this idea, but in this way, the nearly 300 planes of the Beiyang Fleet will not be able to participate in the attack some time ago."

"This doesn't matter, in fact, if the Americans take off at three o'clock, after we attack for a period of time, the 300 planes of the Beiyang Fleet can come over and attack."

"In addition, my idea is that when we pass such a huge fleet of aircraft, the Americans will inevitably all take off, and then stop us, otherwise if they have fewer planes, they will not be able to stop us, and then we can blow up their planes on the aircraft carrier, if they all take off, then we will see how they land, I am afraid that even if there is an intact aircraft carrier, they will not be able to land safely in the dark night, and then they can only fall into the sea, and when the planes on the three aircraft carriers commanded by Li Huixian go to attack, The Americans will inevitably have no planes to stop them, and they are afraid that they will not be able to kill them when the time comes. ”

While the two were talking, the adjutant reported: "Commander, everything is ready, do you want to take off?" ”

"It's been so fast, it's only been fifteen minutes."

The adjutant said: "Commander, the brothers are waiting for this moment, when you let the plane prepare in the afternoon, everyone guessed that they were going to fight the Yankees, so they have already done everything, and they can just check the most important places again." ”

"Let's take off, then."

"Yes."

Immediately after the order was transmitted, all the lights on the ship-island aircraft carrier were turned on for a while, and then one plane after another took off from the runway.

There are four runways on the ship-island aircraft carrier, two fighters and two bombers, and the land-based J-1 fighter is developed and improved by the Mustang fighter, that is, the P51, the maximum range of the latest model can reach 4000 kilometers, and the speed per hour is also 780 kilometers, and the aircraft can fight for almost two hours after flying over.
