"Colonel, what are we going to do?"

"Damn, you ask me, how do I know? At least we still have three more self-defense machine guns! Yang Qinkai was already very angry, "Tell the other brothers that if they want to make a forced landing, they should find a fast and calm sea as soon as possible, and follow me if they have the courage." Damn, although we are not flying fighter jets, but the bombers raised by the son of a son are not much more dexterous than us, today, let's make a cameo appearance as a fighter jet and let everyone know that we can only carry out bombing missions! ”

None of the bombers broke out of the formation, and all the pilots chose to follow Yang Qinkai behind to join the fleet's air defense operations. It was clear to all pilots that the bombers they flew were not suitable for air combat, could not reach speeds of up to 240 knots, and with meager firepower, they would not necessarily be able to do much in battle. But they also know that the fighters in the fleet are about to run out, and except for their batch of bombers, no aircraft can intercept the US bombers in the sky. And they are not powerless, there is a heavy machine gun in each wing of the "Shooting Water Bird" and "Sea Eagle", and there is also a heavy machine gun in the back seat, ://.. Cn

Yang Qinkai heard the news of Colonel Yao Boyan's death on the radio 10 minutes ago, and then received the news that Colonel Ellsler had been shot down. This shocked him, and at the same time made him realize that the fleet was already in a precarious situation, and the US bombers had too many bombers, and the air defense fighters simply did not have time to completely disperse them, let alone intercept them completely. Yang Qinkai could choose to make a forced landing on the sea near the fleet, or slow down and wait until the battle was over before returning to the fleet. Instead of doing so, he sped up his flight. Between saving his life and being faithful, he chose the latter. Hundreds of other pilots have chosen the latter.

Yang Qinkai's group of planes that suddenly returned to the sky above the fleet made the battlefield even more chaotic, and the news was quickly sent to Tan Renhao.

"What did you say?" Tan Renhao was about to go crazy, "Who asked Yang Qinkai and them to come back?" Let them immediately withdraw from the battle, we have already sacrificed enough pilots. Can't let them continue the adventure, let them withdraw immediately, damn it, damn it! ”

Seeing that the commander was angry, the staff officer didn't know what to do.

Zhu Rongzhe immediately called the staff officer aside, and after a few words, let him leave the "shelter".

"It's really unorganized and undisciplined, it's just messing around. This is not a battle, this is disrupting the order of the battlefield! "Tan Renhao is not angry, he is regretting." How could Yang Qinkai make such an impulsive decision, if it was Qiu Gengbo, I wouldn't be surprised, but he has always been calm and calm, how can he make fun of his hundreds of subordinates, this is not something that he can make a decision alone, those pilots are the wealth of the Imperial Navy, and they are the most valuable wealth of the Imperial Navy! ”

"Talk. You dissipate your anger. I want to ......" Zhu Rongzhe had to come forward to calm down Tan Renhao, and there were more than a dozen staff officers around him looking at the commander. "Colonel Yang Qinkai is also thinking about the safety of the fleet, if ......"

"Think about a fart. It's just messing around, what role can they play? In addition to disrupting the order of the air defense of the fleet and making senseless sacrifices, what role can they play? ”

A staff officer went to pour a glass of water, and Zhu Rongzhe immediately took it and handed it to Tan Renhao. "You drink saliva first, the order has been issued, Yang Qinkai will retreat in a difficult way."

Tan Renhao poured a few sips, and then calmed down a little, but he didn't think so. In Tan Renhao's understanding, Yang Qinkai is a very calm commander. This makes him even better than Qiu Gengbo. But he was an extremely strong warrior who would never change his decision easily, and like most officers in the Imperial Navy, he was strong to the point of stubbornness.

Indeed, when Yang Qinkai decided to kill back to cover the fleet, he did not think about retreating.

"Colonel, the commander told us to withdraw from the battle immediately?"

"What did you say?" Yang Qinkai asked loudly.

"Commander, let's get out of the fight!" The navigator has to be louder, too.

"I didn't hear it,, it was too loud. There was a problem with my headphones and I didn't hear it! Yang Qinkai patted his headphones, "Send the order to the squads, let the others decide for themselves what they want to do, and we will continue to charge." ”

The navigator sighed, he knew that the colonel was not not not not heard, but was deliberately evading orders.

The battle was still fierce, and before Yang Qinkai's group arrived, the "Hongzehu" aircraft carrier had already received two bombs, but fortunately, all the torpedoes were avoided. Now the aircraft carrier has released a smoke screen, and the escort warships are also releasing a smoke screen. The US military abandoned the "Hongze Lake" aircraft carrier and instead concentrated its efforts on besieging the "Longgan Lake", the flagship of the fleet. Yang Qinkai flew directly towards the "Longgan Lake" aircraft carrier.

"Shooting water birds" is not a fighter, but a bomber, even if Yang Qinkai is the best pilot, he is only a bomber pilot. In the past, he had only fought fighter fighters in training and combat, and had never practiced how to fight bombers. Bulky bombers are also not suitable for air combat, and Yang Qinkai will only have one air combat tactic, that is, approaching at high speed, then opening fire and withdrawing from the battle. The same goes for other pilots, this is the simplest air combat tactic, even if you haven't learned it, you can see it, and bombers can only do this kind of maneuver.

The swarming bomber group also startled the American pilots, who first thought that this was their bomber, but soon discovered that it was not an American bomber, but a bomber of the Tang Empire. By the time the U.S. pilots reacted, Yang Qinkai's group was already approaching, and the machine guns in the bomber wings spewed out tongues of fire, and in the first round of impact, at least 3 U.S. bombers were beaten down, but there were also 2 bombers of Yang Qinkai's group that were indiscriminately shot down by the anti-aircraft guns on the battleship.

"Fuck it, don't hit us, we're our own people!" A few shells flew past Yang Qinkai's plane, and the navigator jumped up in a hurry.

"Don't shout, the gunner can't tell the enemy at all!" Yang Qinkai seemed very calm and calm, he also knew that the anti-aircraft guns would shoot him down as an enemy plane, he only hoped that he would be able to take out a US bomber before being beaten down by the anti-aircraft guns, of course. It would be nice to take out a few more. Fighting chaotically was not beneficial to either side, and the arrival of Yang Qinkai's planes disrupted the fleet's air defense network, and many anti-aircraft guns did not dare to open fire easily when they found out that the bombers were their own. Similarly, the sudden appearance of dozens of bombers also prevented the US bombers from entering the attack channel smoothly, and had to dodge left and right to avoid being knocked down. And if time drags on, it will not be beneficial to the US military. The fuel on the US bombers was limited. What's more, the more time you have, the more opportunities you give to the defending side.

The chaotic scene over the "Longgan Lake" lasted less than 10 minutes, and the "Gaoyou Lake" aircraft carrier, which had not been attacked before, was hit. The US pilots were not stupid, and when they found that the operation to besiege the "Longganhu" could not be successful, some of the bombers turned to besiege the "Gaoyou Lake." Yang Qinkai was not capable of "intercepting" those US bombers. After flying at high speed for more than ten minutes, his bomber burned out the last drop of fuel. In the end, he had to leave the battlefield gloomily, fortunately, Yang Qinkai did not die as heroically as Yao Boyan, and the US fighter jets did not take interest in him. After gliding through the air for several nautical miles. Eventually, a successful forced landing was made in the sea near a destroyer.

When Yang Qinkai was salvaged by the destroyer. Several other bombers made a forced landing in the nearby sea, and the pilots managed to escape. Seeing his subordinates being scooped up wet one by one, Yang Qinkai couldn't laugh at all. At this time. In the distance, a fire has already broken out on the aircraft carrier "Gaoyou Lake," the aircraft carrier is releasing a smoke screen, and US bombers are also withdrawing one after another.

"Colonel, here you go, wipe it."

Yang Qinkai took the towel from the soldier's hand and wrapped himself up. The other pilots also came to the bow deck. The battle in the distance was not over yet, and US bombers were flying toward the "Longganhu" aircraft carrier.

"Damn, there are so many bitches, this must be half a bomber of the task force."

Yang Qinkai turned around and saw a major officer walking towards him.

The major officer saluted Yang Qinkai first. "I'm the captain of this destroyer. Colonel, you should go inside. ”

"No, let's just stand here." Yang Qinkai nodded.

"So, do you want something to drink?"

"No, you're too polite." Yang Qinkai is in the mood to drink now.

"This ...... Then have some hot coffee so you don't get cold. ”

Yang Qinkai just nodded, he didn't want to be verbose.

In the end, there were only a dozen bombers besieging the "Longganhu" aircraft carrier, and the aircraft carrier was speeding wildly on the sea, and the anti-aircraft guns were also roaring. The surrounding escort warships were desperately trying to block between the aircraft carrier and the enemy planes. The attack of more than a dozen US bombers was unsuccessful, and the "Longganhu" aircraft carrier successfully avoided at least five bombs and several torpedoes, while only three of the US bombers that launched the attack escaped, and the others were shot down by antiaircraft guns.

The noise of the battlefield suddenly disappeared, and there was not even a little sea breeze, except for the noise from the destroyer's power system. After suddenly quieting down, Yang Qinkai felt very uncomfortable, he felt as if he had arrived in another world, the battle was suddenly over, and everything was over.

"Colonel, the flagship has sent a telegram, the enemy aircraft group has retreated, now we are going to rescue the other overboard pilots, if you want to return to the aircraft carrier, I can help you call the seaplane."

"No, we'll stay here and maybe we can help." Yang Qinkai felt that there was no point in returning to the aircraft carrier, his bomber had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and he would not be able to play a greater role after returning.

"This ......," the Major hesitated, "well, you go to the aft deck first, and I'll arrange for someone to assist you." ”

The search and rescue work was carried out quickly, and in addition to the destroyer, the seaplanes on the cruiser were dispatched. The destroyer where Yang Qinkai was located was the closest to the place where Ansler fell into the sea, and the destroyer's first rescue mission was to find Ansle.

"Over there, Captain, slow down!"

As the lookout shouted loudly, the destroyer quickly slowed down, and several sailors lowered a dinghy. Yang Qinkai and several other pilots quickly rushed over. Not far to the left, a patch of sea water has been dyed red. One of the pilots, wrapped in a life jacket, floated on the surface of the sea, apparently unconscious and immobile.

"Quickly put the dinghy down, and besides, let the medical officer prepare for the rescue!" The captain also rushed over, he glanced at Yang Qinkai, and then went to arrange the rescue work.

"Colonel, you'd better get out of here, we need to make a clearing."

Yang Qinkai immediately called a few pilots to the side, and soon, the medical officer with the first aid kit on his back ran over, and two sailors brought a pair of improvised stretchers. The sailors in the dinghy rowed back as soon as they scooped up the Anstalk. Soon, Ansle was carried onto the battleship.

"That's Colonel Ellsler!" Yang Qinkai's navigator called softly.

"Get out of the way, don't delay my work here!" The medical officer drove Yang Qinkai and them aside, then squatted next to the stretcher, and quickly checked it, "Bring the cardiac injection, in addition, contact the cruiser, the wounded are in serious condition, there should be shrapnel in the body, and the shrapnel must be removed, otherwise we will not be able to control the internal bleeding." Go to the captain, we have to get the wounded to the cruiser as soon as possible. ”

Yang Qinkai watched from the sidelines until the medical officer bandaged Ellsler's wound and the two sailors left on stretchers. "Doctor, how's he doing?"

The medical officer turned his head, and he first noticed Yang Qinkai's rank. "Colonel, his condition is very serious, he has lost too much blood, if he does not have a blood transfusion immediately, I am afraid that his life will be in danger, now all I can do is to buy him more time, there is no suitable medical equipment on the destroyer, I can only send him to the cruiser for treatment. And whether he can survive depends on whether his will is strong enough. ”

Yang Qinkai nodded and patted the medical officer on the shoulder, he also knew that the medical officer did his best, and he also knew that An Shile was a very strong person, and he would never give up easily.
