At about half past seven, Tan Renhao also received a reconnaissance report sent back by Shen Guangwei, unlike Hao Dongjue, Tan Renhao's first discovery was not an opportunity, but a danger, and he found a key problem in the first time, that is, Shen Guangwei only found two task forces, but not a third task force!

It can be said that Tan Renhao's idea is strange and not very logical. It stands to reason that the US task force will not act together, and it is lucky that a reconnaissance plane can find a task force, but Tan Renhao is muttering that Shen Guangwei has only found two task forces. This is Tan Renhao's intuition, and his sensitive understanding of the battlefield situation made Tan Renhao notice the danger in the first place. This ultimately affected his tactical arrangement, and the first task force 1 sent out not bombers, but fighters, and the fighters who provided cover for the 2nd task force, that is, the fighters led by Ellsle.

After Ansler's group departed, Tan Renhao let Qiu Gengbo lead the first batch of bombers to set off. This time, Tan Renhao did not let Yang Qinkai take the lead, but sent Qiu Gengbo up, and the task he assigned to Qiu Gengbo was also more complicated. The bomber group of the first task force was the second to depart, to be precise, the third group of bombers. Tan Renhao was very clear about Hao Dongjue's arrangement, and when he learned that the two groups of bombers of the Second Task Force were departing consecutively, he knew that Hao Dongjue was going to fight desperately with the enemy, and his two groups of bombers would definitely do their best to attack the two US task forces and try to disintegrate the US military's air combat capability as much as possible. This was also part of the plan, and after the first strike was completed, the bomber groups of the other task forces were tasked with expanding the results and finally annihilating the enemy. At the same time, however, Tan Renhao also knew that the US military had come prepared this time, and its defensive capability had been significantly improved, and the bomber group of the Second Task Force might not be able to complete the mission. Therefore, Tan Renhao asked Qiu Gengbo to first contact the bomber group of the Second Task Force to confirm the situation at the front. Then act on the opportunity.

Qiu Gengbo, who finally took the lead, was very excited, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest about the commander's orders. As a result, when he encountered the US bomber group on the way, he first used the group channel to send out the message, and then used the channel to communicate with the fleet. As a result, this news was first received by Yang Shihong.

The U.S. bombers were routed by the escort fighters of the Qiu Gengbo group. Although a squadron of escort fighters seems to be a little less, it can be said that it is easy to deal with a group of American bombers that have no fighter cover and at the same time can not be concentrated. This also caused Qiu Gengbo and them to delay for about ten minutes, and as a result, when Qiu Gengbo was about to arrive at the battlefield, he didn't know the current situation on the battlefield.

"Colonel, it's Yang Shihong and they sent the news that there are still two aircraft carrier battle groups in the 51st Task Force of the US Army that have not been destroyed."

"What?" Qiu Gengbo couldn't believe his ears a little, "Zhang Naiding's group should have killed the 53rd Task Force, right?" ”

"Yes, all three aircraft carriers of Task Force 53 were blown up. It was about 50 nautical miles ahead of us. You'll be able to see it in fifteen minutes. However, Yang Shihong's group of planes did not succeed in attacking Task Force 51, and they are now dealing with US escort warships. Ask us to go for reinforcements. ”

"Damn, what is Yang Shihong doing?"

"Colonel, the fleet just sent an order, let's concentrate on attacking the 51st task force, wait a ......minute," the navigator was in a hurry, "Now the 51st task force still has at least three battleships, two aircraft carriers have not been blown up, Yang Shihong and they only killed one aircraft carrier and one battleship, and several cruisers have also been blown up." The anti-aircraft fire of the US army is very intensive, and it is difficult to succeed in the event of a direct assault on the aircraft carrier. It is advisable for us to strike first at the escort warships on the periphery, and then against the aircraft carriers! ”

"What is the number one battle plan?" Qiu Gengbo gritted his teeth.

"Operation Plan No. 4, if we still can't complete the mission, the Hao Lingheng aircraft group of the Fourth Task Force will probably arrive fifteen minutes later than us, and they will also participate in the attack operation."

"Damn, who said we couldn't finish the task?" Qiu Gengbo didn't want the fat duck in his mouth to fly, "Just act according to the No. 4 operation plan, and the aircraft groups are ready to disperse and kill the US escort warships first." And then against aircraft carriers and battleships! ”

The fleet began to accelerate, and in view of the various situations that might arise, Hao Dongjue had already formulated a specific combat plan. The main difference between these programmes is the order in which they are attacked. Under normal circumstances, the bomber group must be the first to attack the aircraft carrier at the core of the enemy fleet, and after killing the enemy's aircraft carrier, the enemy's other warships will only be slaughtered. But the battle cannot develop in a predetermined direction, if the assault aircraft carrier is not successful, then other methods have to be considered, and the easiest way is to use the tactic of "recording onions", first kill the escort warships on the periphery, and fight inward layer by layer, and finally kill the aircraft carrier!

Now, Qiu Gengbo and they are adopting this tactic. The group soon reached the waters near Task Force 53, and the U.S. forces were still trying to repair the three badly damaged aircraft carriers. Among them, the "Chishaji" has been seriously tilted, and the "Philippine Sea" has also sunk a lot. The U.S. military still did not give up the rescue, and several American cruisers that provided cover for them nearby also fired a few shots at their side of the Qiu Gengbo group, as if they were demonstrating, but because the distance was too far, the shells could not threaten Qiu Gengbo and them at all.

"Colonel, the Yankees are really tenacious, are they welcoming us?"

"Welcome, this is a signal, let the brothers be vigilant, we are about to reach the sea area of engagement, don't be distracted, let the escort fighters deal with the destroyers, and the others take the group as the basic unit, first take out the cruiser with strong anti-aircraft firepower, and tear a hole in the air defense network of the 51st task force as soon as possible!"

"Understood!"

The planes quickly prepared, and Qiu Gengbo also quickly checked the situation of his landline, and the indices on each instrument were normal, indicating that the bomber was working in a normal state.

"Colonel, I have contacted Colonel Yang Shihong, and now they are besieging the US battleship 'Iowa', which is more than ten nautical miles ahead of us."

"See, damn, Yang Shihong and they haven't withdrawn from the battle yet?" Qiu Gengbo hesitated for a moment, "Help me connect to Yang Shihong's channel." I'm going to talk to him. ”

The navigator quickly connected Qiu Gengbo's communication system to the radio, and then patted Qiu Gengbo on the back.

"Lao Yang, what are you doing slowly?"

There was a noise in the headphones, and then Yang Shihong's voice came. "Qiu Gengbo, you little bastard has finally arrived, hurry up and help."

"Don't worry, we'll be there soon." Qiu Gengbo laughed, Yang Shihong can be regarded as his old superior. "Old Yang. You've capsized in the gutter this time, you've been tossing for so long, and there are still so many U.S. warships that haven't been killed. ”

"You kid don't mean to be the captain, I don't dare to clean you up. Don't talk about it, now we are pestering the American battleships, when will you arrive? ”

"There's probably ...... left," Qiu Gengbo visually measured the distance, "it's right behind your ass, and it'll be there in about five minutes." ”

"Very well, I'll give you five minutes, see us?" Yang Shihong's words paused. "Inside is the U.S. military's aircraft carrier USS Antietam. Let's entangle the escort battleship first, and you take out that aircraft carrier first! ”

"No problem, then you be careful."

Qiu Gengbo immediately beckoned a squad of "waterbirds". Let the navigator get in touch with a squad of "sea eagles" again. The two groups quickly turned around and circled in the direction of the port side of the US "Antietam" aircraft carrier battle group. The battleship "Iowa" was in the starboard direction of the aircraft carrier. More than a dozen bombers under the command of Yang Shihong did not attack immediately, but hovered nearby, causing the US military to constantly consume anti-aircraft shells. This was to buy time for them to come, as long as the anti-aircraft guns on this battleship could not threaten them, then the aircraft carrier "Antietam" would be destroyed.

"Follow me, the torpedo machine is half a minute late, let's go and stab the son of a bitch first!"

Divided into three groups, the "waterfowl" had accelerated to more than 220 knots, and Qiu Gengbo took the lead and flew to the front. The distance between the aircraft carrier and the battleship was about 3 nautical miles. Smoke was thick over the battleship, and from time to time large-caliber anti-aircraft gun shells exploded, producing more gunsmoke, as well as fleeting flashes of explosions. Qiu Gengbo didn't pay attention to the battleship, he had already circled to the front of the port side of the aircraft carrier, and was cutting into the bomb drop course at a 40-degree angle.

"Colonel, Yang Shihong, they have attacked."

"You know, you leave them alone, and call the brothers in the back to come up together!"

When there are about 5 nautical miles left from the aircraft carrier. Qiu Gengbo drove the bomber to climb high quickly, flying quickly over a cruiser, and it was only at this time that the anti-aircraft gunners on the US aircraft carrier noticed the rapidly approaching bomber and quickly turned the muzzle, but it was too late at this time.

The bomber gasped and flew high into the air, and Qiu Gengbo felt that he was pressed against his seat by a huge force, and he couldn't move at all. He stared intently at the altimeter in front of him, and when he reached an altitude of 3,000 meters, Qiu Gengbo desperately turned the joystick, and the bomber turned half a circle in the air and quickly dived down towards the sea. This is an extremely difficult leap bomb throw. Instead of smoothly lowering the flight altitude before entering the dive channel, it climbs quickly, and after reaching the dive point, it quickly turns around, and then enters the dive channel at a large angle.

The huge overload made Qiu Gengbo feel that his eyes were dark, and after two seconds, he could clearly see the rapidly approaching aircraft carrier, it was the bomber's dive speed that was too fast, and he felt the plane vibrating violently, as if it was about to fall apart.

"Colonel, pull it up!"

"Don't fucking scream!" Qiu Gengbo himself roared.

The "waterfowl" seemed to have lost control, and even the anti-aircraft gunners on the US warship looked at this deadly bomber in amazement. Just when everyone thought that Qiu Gengbo was about to finish, a 500-kilogram aerial bomb detached from the bomber, and then the "waterfowl" was pulled up at an almost impossible angle.

In the distance, Yang Shihong saw with his own eyes the ultra-difficult bomb throwing action made by the "water bird", no need to ask, he knew that it was Qiu Gengbo, and only Qiu Gengbo, a madman, would make such an action. And what made him feel unbelievable was that Qiu Gengbo dropped bombs and changed the dive channel, and he even felt that the bomber was definitely going to fall apart.

The 500-kilogram bomb was quickly smashed down, and the aircraft carrier on the sea could not be avoided. When the bomb hit the aircraft carrier, the three "water birds" that followed Qiu Gengbo also dropped bombs one after another. The other two groups of "waterfowl" also quickly entered the attack channel. On the sea, the pilots of the 11 "Sea Eagles" all saw the aerobatic bombing performance of Qiu Gengbo, which was an eye-opener for them, and these torpedo bombers were also quickly approaching the aircraft carrier, and the end of the "Antietam" was approaching.

When the bomber left the dangerous airspace, Qiu Gengbo gasped and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He began to use his own special skills, originally he wanted to show Yang Qinkai during training, but now he directly used it in battle.

"Colonel, what the fuck are you ...... Hehe...... We survived, God, we didn't die......" The navigator seemed to be frightened silly, and the moment before pulling up, he thought he was finished.

"Fuck you, don't talk to me like that in the future." Qiu Gengbo also smirked, "But, I don't want to die yet, then we can't die." ”

"Xiaoqiu, you kid really has a fucking hand, but now is not the time to brag!" Yang Shihong's voice came from the earphones.

"Understand, Lao Yang, if you're not in a hurry to return home, just watch the excitement from the side!"

"Lao Tzu doesn't have time to toss with you, my bombers have dropped their ammunition, and I'll leave it to you here, do you want me to help you contact the seaplane?"

"you crow's mouth, I don't want a seaplane to help, you go back and wait for the good news!"

Yang Shihong's group, which had already run out of ammunition, quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and the next operation was commanded by Qiu Gengbo. The bombed aircraft carrier "Antietam" has been paralyzed on the sea, and the column of fire that has risen is dozens of meters high, and this aircraft carrier will definitely be finished, perhaps soon. Qiu Gengbo was not proud of his earth-shattering performance, and now, there were dozens of US warships in front of him waiting for him to clean up.
