It was discovered that the ground pilot of the US Fifth Fleet was named Liang Tianci, who only changed to flying bombers half a year ago, and was a very ordinary fighter pilot before. As a result, as soon as he became familiar with the "Shooting Birds," the Navy replaced bombers, and the "Falcon" replaced the "Shooting Birds." When the carrier-based air force was reorganized, Liang Tianci was assigned to the ground reconnaissance aircraft unit of the Second Task Force, and the enclave was the "Falcon" reconnaissance model.

"Taishang Laojun, I'm weird!" Liang Tianci was extremely surprised by the extremely fast performance of the "Falcon." Xiaopeng, did you see it? It's just weird that the sons of a can't catch up with us."

"Liangzi, don't ask God to worship Buddha, let's go back quickly."

"I believe in Taoism, not Buddhism, worship a Buddha."

"Don't talk nonsense, new route 220,

Liang Tianci realized that almost half of the fuel in the plane had been used. When encountering the interception site of the US fighter jets, Liang Tianci had already lost the external auxiliary fuel tank, and the built-in auxiliary fuel tank in the interior of the bomb bay could not be lost. Although the speed of the "Falcon" is so fast that even the US military and ground fighter pilots are impressed, when flying at maximum speed, the fuel consumption rate is five times that of the cruising speed, which is much greater than that of the "Shooting Water Birds."

The Falcon's ground speed was soon reduced to 280, and at this rate, Liang Tianci was able to return to the fleet before they ran out of fuel. You can even leave more than 10 minutes to hover. The two pilots breathed a sigh of relief after reconfirming that there were no fighter jets around.

"Xiaopeng, how much has our route deviated? Do you want to fly a little slower? ”

"I don't know. Don't ask me. I don't know." The navigator is also a novice, and he's busy trying to figure out the exact position of the fighter.

"Damn, hurry up. We must have deviated from our scheduled course, and God knows we're in that damn place now." Liang Tianci was also anxious, when he was dodging the attack of the "super pirate", he was in a panic, he didn't pay attention to the course of the flight at all, if he couldn't accurately judge the location of the plane, then he couldn't return to the fleet.

"Did you start flying north?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the north, maybe it's the northwest, God. You ask me. Who do I ask? ”

"Damn, you don't know, so how do I know?"

"You're a navigator, you don't know who knows?"

"Mother, you started telling me to look behind, and I kept looking at the enemy planes behind me. Where is the time to pay attention to the direction? The heading table is in front of you, not in front of me."

"I'm trying my best to dodge, otherwise, we'll all be finished, and we'll be fighting for a fart!"

Both laughed, and it was pretty good to be alive. What are you fighting for?

"Liangzi, look.3 o'clock

Liang Tianci immediately looked to the right, a large group of ground planes was rapidly approaching, because the distance was still too far, Liang Tianci could only distinguish a lot of ground bombers, but could not distinguish the specific model.

"It's definitely our plane, we didn't fly south. It is impossible for the US military ground fleet to appear north of us. That's definitely our land."

"But it can't be our fleet."

"Try the Third Fleet's ground communication channel, get in touch, and see if it's the Third Fleet's ground fleet."

The place of arrival was indeed the bomber group of the Third Fleet under the command of Colonel Hao Lingheng, to be precise, the bomber group sent by the Fourth Task Force, followed by the bomber groups of the Seventh Task Force and the Eighth Task Force. Liang Tianci also figured out their geographical direction, and when they were avoiding the US fighter planes, they were heading northwest to the enclave, probably deviating from the reconnaissance route for hundreds of nautical miles. In the end, he finally got rid of the "entanglement" of the US fighter jets.

After greeting the reconnaissance plane that had taken off from the Second Task Force, Hao Lingheng continued to lead the group of planes in the direction of the US fleet. From this reconnaissance aircraft learned . The U.S. fleet is not far ahead, and it will be there in about 20 minutes. Hao Lingheng quickly ordered the group to be ready for battle. Then, the escort fighters caught up and cleared the way for the bomber group to move forward.

For the performance of the "Falcon", Hao Lingheng is still quite sure. In the Pacific Combat Ground Fleet, the Fourth Task Force was the first to be reequipped with a "Falcon" place, and Hao Lingheng was the first batch of pilots to fly a "Falcon" ground. After more than two months, Hao Lingheng basically completely mastered the extreme performance of the new bomber, and was the first to make an 85-degree angle dive This difficult action As far as Hao Lingheng's personal feeling is concerned, the "Falcon" dive speed is much faster than the "Shooting Water Bird", if you are not familiar with the ground performance of the aircraft, you will feel that it is difficult to control, but it is the fast dive speed that can effectively avoid the enemy's anti-aircraft guns, if you master the height and angle of the bomb, then the accuracy of the "Falcon" bomb is not in the "Water Bird" Under. And the battle damage rate is definitely much lower.

The group set off immediately after receiving the report from the reconnaissance plane, and at that time the bombs and torpedoes were already hung in the bomb bay of the bomber, and most of the pilots even went directly to the engine room to stand by. It took 30 minutes to set off, which was about 5 minutes longer than before, but the Falcon flew faster and could have chased back the 5 minutes on the way.

"Colonel, do you want to contact the First Fleet now?" The recoil navigator has been coordinating the various squads in the fleet.

"No, let's get in touch when we're done bombing, maybe the fleet has already sent a telegram." Hao Lingheng glanced at the fuel gauge, about half of the fuel had been used, and returning home was a huge problem.

At the time of their departure from Hao Lingheng. The Fourth Task Force was about 500 miles away from the US Fifth Fleet, which had already exceeded the bombing radius of the "Falcon", and Huang Xiaotian did not cancel the bombing operation because of this, but ordered Hao Lingheng to go to the First Fleet to land and replenish fuel when they returned home. In this way, the fleet can fly about 150 miles less. If the fuel is used as sparingly as possible during the operation, the aircraft group can completely land on the ground aircraft carriers of the First Fleet.

Huang Xiaotian's intention to arrange this is obvious, if the Third Fleet does not move. The First Fleet will also get their hands dirty. The U.S. military has only one task force. It's just three aircraft carriers, if it really starts, any main fleet can easily deal with the US Fifth Fleet, if the Third Fleet is late, I'm afraid there will be no chance to even drink soup. As far as Hao Lingheng knew, at the time of their departure. Huang Xiaotian has not yet sent a telegram to the First Fleet, that is to say, Huang Xiaotian deliberately delayed the time of the briefing! Right now. The First Fleet must have received the news, and must be prepared to receive Hao Lingheng's bombers, and whether the First Fleet can send bombers is a question of whether or not they can send bombers.

Thinking of this, Hao Lingheng felt funny, the competition within the navy was obvious, but he didn't expect that now the two main fleets are also competing. Although he didn't know why the Third Fleet stayed in the Pacific Ocean to support the Marines in their assault on Oahu. He didn't understand why the Third Fleet wanted to expel the US Fifth Fleet from north to south, but he clearly felt that this time General Huang Xiaotian didn't want to be left behind, and he didn't want to play a supporting role for the First Fleet.

"Major, Colonel Wang Zhihua has sent a message that they have arrived near the American fleet. is fighting US air defense fighters."

"Understood. Let them try to lure the US air defense fighters to other places and upwards." Hao Lingheng retracted his cranky thoughts. The various groups are ready to disperse, don't concentrate together, we are very close to the American fleet, prepare for the fighters, brothers, it's time for us to get on board! ”

The "Falcon" fleet quickly dispersed . The Third Fleet also adopted the same approach, using different paint colors to distinguish between bombers on different missions. The gray-blue dive bomber group flew at high altitude, while the dark green torpedo bomber group was soon reduced to a height of several hundred meters. It is not for nothing that the bombers of the two main fleets are painted in two colors of the same color. Gray-blue with sky and ground background color, especially on cloudy days. Or in cloudy weather, the background color of the ground sky is relatively close to the ground, and the dark green is also relatively close to the color of the sea surface, which can confuse the enemy and achieve the effect of visual camouflage.

Less than five minutes after the group dispersed, Hao Lingheng saw the fighters in front of him who were fighting." It's a good thing that the falcon is fast, but it's not necessarily a good thing when there's land. If it is a "waterfowl" dialect, then the escort fighters will have more time to drive out the enemy's ground air defense fighters, and the "Falcon" will be able to reach a cruising speed of 280 ground, and by the time they reach the ground, the air battle has not yet been decided.

"Leave the fighters alone. Each group of aircraft separately carried out the assault and targeted the aircraft carrier. Don't waste the bomb! ”

The two squadrons responsible for direct cover were the first to rush forward and join the air combat group. Bomber groups are based on squads, with a dive bomber squad and a torpedo bomber squad working together to attack an aircraft carrier. Hao Ling Hengfei was at the front, he attacked the aircraft carrier at the front, and as before, after he completed the bombing mission, he had to guide the bomber groups of other places.

The anti-aircraft fire on the US warships was still extremely fierce, but the US gunners quickly noticed a problem, if they still used to deal with the "water birds" or "sea eagles" in advance, almost all the shells fell behind the bombers' buttocks, and they would not be able to hit the faster bombers at all." The Falcon sprint at a speed of more than 350 when dropping bombs, in fact, even if it enters the ground at a cruising speed of 280, it is difficult for the US anti-aircraft guns to hit them.

Hao Lingheng is also the first time to drive the "Falcon" through the rain of bullets, for the speed of the "Falcon", he is a little unbelievable, especially when the engine is running at full power, this is like flying a fighter jet.

"Major, just ahead, don't fly over your head!" The navigator was also pleasantly surprised this time. As their squad passed through the fleet's anti-aircraft artillery fire, not a single bomber was hit.

"Yes, sit tight!"

The Falcon seemed to pause abruptly in the air, and then quickly entered the high-angle dive phase, and its gliding flight phase was almost non-existent. The airplane has been fully opened on the ground on the back of the aircraft. The ailerons are also placed at the maximum angle, and the tail is almost twisted to the maximum angle. As if the bomber had suddenly crashed into an invisible wall, it changed from level flight to a dive flight almost instantly. This is another advantage of the "Falcon", its deceleration performance is much better than that of the "Shooting Bird", and the agility is much better than that of the "Shooting Bird", so the bomber can enter the dive channel in a very short time, shorten the time of gliding flight, and thus shorten the time of staying in dangerous airspace.

"My good boy, God. Lao Hao, don't play with your life! "The navigator is almost crawling on the ground baffle in front of him.

"Haha. Son of a, grandpa is much more powerful this time! Hao Lingheng didn't hear his partner's voice at all, he was already in a state of complete excitement.

The gunners on the U.S. battleship were stunned, and even the huge aircraft carrier was stunned." The "Falcon" approached the aircraft carrier on the surface of the sea at an unimaginable angle and speed. Hao Lingheng didn't get too excited, he kept paying attention to the changes in the reading place on the altimeter." The "Falcon" is used as a digital altimeter. And no longer a pointer altimeter, which initially made Hao Lingheng feel a little uncomfortable, several "Falcons" crashed because of this, but I have to admit that the digital altimeter is more intuitive than the pointer type, in the fierce battle, it is easier for the pilot to make accurate judgments.

Less than 600 meters above the sea, the door of the "Falcon" bomb bay suddenly popped open, and the bomb was ejected. Hao Lingheng immediately pulled up the joystick when he felt the reaction force coming from the joystick.The 500-kilogram bomb was ejected to the ground by two hydraulic catapult barrels, and after the bomb was ejected, the bomb bay door would not be immediately retracted. Instead, the ground was closed after the bomber had been leveled. This can also slow down the ground when the bomber is pulled up.

Three other "Falcons" followed suit and dropped bombs. Hao Lingheng did not see whether the bomb hit the aircraft carrier or not, when the bomber pulled up the ground. The overload is so great that the pilot will briefly blacken out. By the time the bombers flew out of the range of the US anti-aircraft guns, a sky-high fire had already broken out on the aircraft carrier on the surface of the sea.

"Lao Hao, we hit it." The navigator got the message from bombers from elsewhere." The bomb should have hit the ship island directly, and the accuracy rate of the ground this time is good, damn it, the officers in there must be finished."

Hao Lingheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the battle continued. He glanced in the southwest direction, a group of bombers of considerable size were rapidly approaching, and it seemed that the First Fleet was not slow.
