I wipe, the change in the battle situation is also much beyond Tang Zhen's expectations, the Yankees' fleet has already excited him, but I didn't expect that before I started, I found that I was facing not a table of dim sum, but a super meal that was enough to break my belly!

At this moment, although there are 3 American battleships in front of him, there are 3 American battleships that are going to collide with him head-on, but the original plan to ruthlessly ask the opponent is obviously not the best plan, what we should worry about is that we must not beat the dog and be bitten by the dog! He stood in front of the chart, staring at the sea around the fleet, and looked at it almost without saying a word for five minutes before giving the order aloud.

"Order, turn the rudder 50 degrees and sail in the direction of Guam!"

"Order, the second destroyer formation will search to the south, and the third destroyer formation will search to the east sea!"

"Report to the First Fleet, Theater Command the position of our fleet......"

The tick-tock telegram issued the order immediately, and the successive orders were quickly issued from the battleship Guangzhou, Tang Zhen's gloomy face stood at the observation window of the command tower, to be honest, the feeling of being calculated was really not good......

A huge roar sounded overhead, and 2 monoplanes painted in light blue swept over the high mast of the flagship and headed towards the northeast, which made Tang Zhen smile slightly, the Yankees and the British were obviously full of strength to deal with themselves, but they didn't plan to retreat, this battle was a confrontation of psychology and courage, not to mention, their killer weapon has not really been released!

On the sea 120 kilometers south-east of Nauru, the thick morning fog still could not cover the rolling black fog rolled up when the sea and sky were rolling up, on the battleship George V. Lord Dieters, commander of the Royal Navy's Pacific Rapid Fleet, was looking gloomy at the unclear sky in the distance—albeit a fine day. But it doesn't look very suitable for artillery battles!

"General. Abel sent a telegram that the American water reconnaissance planes were northwest of Nauru, at 0.3 east longitude and 166.3 north latitude, and had spotted the Chinese fleet, including 4 battleships and at least 10 destroyers, and Admiral Abel wanted to flank the Chinese fleet with us and inflict heavy damage on the Chinese before they fled back to the Guam naval base! They want to...... I hope that we will hold the passage to the south and prevent the Chinese from fleeing in the direction of New Guinea! An officer hurried in and delivered a few urgent telegrams he had just received.

Lieutenant General Abel ...... For this shrewd American white-bearded old man. Lord Dieters obviously did not take it lightly, in fact, the planning of the attack of the two navies this time was always led by the Americans, after all, the United States took the lead in declaring war, and the Royal Navy did not actually include the initiative to attack in the first plan, you must know - in the Pacific, in the past 20 years, it has long been not the place where the European Navy has the final say!

However, it seems that the Americans' plan did achieve the expected success, a decoy operation with the goal of annihilating the Second Fleet in the Pacific. It really allowed the Chinese fleet to leave the naval base in Guam, which is surrounded by fortress artillery, and at least for now. The huge power of his own command, which had 7 battleships, seemed to be completely unnoticed by the Chinese.

"How much more time do we need to be able to intercept the Chinese fleet...... I don't think the Chinese will be stupid enough to wait there to fight the Americans! "Lord Dieters stood in front of the chart, watching as the officer traced the course of the sea with a triangle on the chart, while in the upper left of Nauru, a blue origin marked the location of the Chinese navy.

What makes Lord Dieters a little unhappy is that the US Navy formation drawn at this moment is located directly above the Chinese Navy, the two wings of less than 100 kilometers away, forming a situation of attacking the Chinese Navy fleet in front and rear, leaving the position of the Royal Navy, obviously not a good place to eat meat, unless the Chinese give up the plan to return to Guam and flee south to the direction of the Solomon Islands, otherwise, at this moment there is still a straight-line distance of nearly 180 kilometers from the other side, and it is not easy to get closer.

Hearing Lord Dieters' inquiry, the surveying officer who was lying on his stomach raised his head with a frown and said: "General, according to the telegram received from the Americans, the Chinese fleet may have discovered their intention to flank and is preparing to flee back to Guam in Chinese the west...... Unless the two battle cruisers of the Invincible and the Fortitude are pursued alone! ”

"No! The battle patrol strikes alone, and the risk is too great! "Lord Dieters naturally understands the advantages of the battle cruiser in the pursuit of the enemy, the Invincible and the Fortitude, as the second generation of battle cruisers in service in the Royal Navy, have an excellent speed of 27 knots, however, the disadvantage of the crispy and relatively 6 12-inch main guns is obviously not enough to fight the battleship, not to mention, the other party is the battleship of the Chinese Navy!

Standing on the chart and looking at it for a while, he picked up a pencil, circled the chart a few times, and drew an oblique straight line, pointing directly to the sea area between the Chinese fleet and Guam, "Tell the Americans that we will assist them in intercepting the Chinese fleet and let them drive the Chinese fleet to this sea area so that the encirclement can be completed!" We will use our strong military superiority to cut off the lifeblood of the Chinese Pacific......"

"General, Eber's telegram, I want us to cut in at the southern end of the battlefield and encircle Chinese......"

Before the officer's reminder could be finished, he was interrupted by Lord Dieters, "Don't pay attention to the Yankees, although their strategy is off to a good start, you won't be stupid enough to think that Chinese is still in the dark at the moment, waiting to be annihilated...... The Yankees always want to command us, the Royal Navy only fights for the honor of the Navy, and our communication is just a courtesy greeting! ”

Amid the sound of wind and waves and ticking telegrams, the fleet staff officer also brought the information that Lord Dieters urgently needed, "General, we predict that in 3 hours, the Americans' main fleet of General Abel will engage the Chinese, and if they can entangle the Chinese for several hours, we will firmly block the passage for the Chinese to escape back to Guam!" ”——

A two-wing Harrier III fighter let out a loud roar and suddenly fell from the tail deck of the Shandong aircraft carrier, which was accelerating, and the tail hook with the tail cable-stayed was firmly hung by the first blocking net on the deck. Huge impact force. The airplane also made a slightly uncomfortable crunching sound. Without waiting for the plane to stop, the pilot in the fur hat had already jumped out of the cockpit.

"Did you find it?" An officer rushed up with a chart on the side.

"No...... 30 degrees north-west, less than 80 kilometers away, seeing a fleet with more than 10 warships, according to the order, I did not lower the altitude to get closer, it should be American! ”

"Hurry up and report to the bridge. Hurry up and take a break! The two of them spoke in a low and hurried voice, and immediately began to help the ground crew push the Harrier to the left side of the ship for emergency maintenance.

In the aircraft carrier commander tower, the aircraft carrier commander Vice Admiral Lu Zhiyuan frowned and stared at the nautical chart that was about to be drawn into a spider web, the great significance of the aircraft carrier in fleet operations made the commanders of the two aircraft carriers a hot position, and he was born as a veteran of the South Seas, and finally lived up to expectations to obtain this position, and he immediately turned his great enthusiasm for the 601 ship to this new maritime combat power platform with a displacement of 25,000 tons.

The change in the battle situation was obviously beyond his expectations, after discussing it with Tang Zhen before. The fleet bet on the 25 pilots on the aircraft carrier Shandong, though. It seems that luck is not as good as expected, and there have been 6 waves of 15 sorties...... And at this moment on the deck, the other 2 Eagle monoplane fighters have been pushed onto the running sleeve, and under Lu Zhiyuan's gaze, the motor in front of the fighter suddenly spewed out a puff of black smoke!

3000 meters of sky, the blazing sun is like a huge light bulb hanging low above the clouds, the young Air Force Captain Sima Jian easily manipulated his beloved plane to sweep over a white cloud, from this height to observe the vast sea below, there is definitely a pleasing to the eye, let go of the relaxed feeling of self-release, but at this moment, he obviously has no usual leisurely mood.

Before leaving, the boss specially ran over from the bridge of the aircraft carrier to take care of himself, and he must go all out to complete the task as soon as possible in order to ensure the next action of the fleet, and at the same time he set off was his iron buddy, Sun Xingguo, who was also a flying ace, and before the two jumped up from the deck of the aircraft carrier, they did not forget to wave to each other to signal the bet of the night - the opportunity to invite the beautiful Dr. Chen from the aircraft carrier's medical room to dinner.

Less than 20 minutes after taking off, Sun Xingguo, who was flying in another direction, was long gone, Sima Jian naturally did not care about the situation of this dead friend at the moment, but stared at the surrounding airspace with all his attention, although his ears were full of the monotonous roar of the air-cooled engine on the nose of the Eagle fighter, but he immediately noticed a little unusual sound from the roar.

With a sharp pull of the joystick, the 1400-kilogram huge fighter plane immediately quickly rose at a large elevation angle of more than 80, and Sima Jian's mind was not focused on the height that was being pulled......

However, with his keen observation and the abnormal sound that flickered just now, he had already locked on to the suspicious target, and it was obvious that at this moment, in the thick clouds on his right flank, the fighter plane turned sharply at a large angle and quickly climbed more than 200 meters...... Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and between the opening and closing of the thick clouds that were still blocking Sima Jian's eyes just now, he saw at a glance a big guy with bulky fat and thick legs under his feet!

British-made Blackburn water reconnaissance aircraft......

A 350-horsepower water-cooled engine, a floating tank on the water, and a whole big-bellied plane, however, for the US Navy, which does not have the ability to produce its own aircraft, this is really a practical thing, after all, with a wingspan of only 14 meters, it can easily be put into the sea from the bow of a battleship captain!

The pilot, Lieutenant Robinson, was apparently a cautious military man, flying the seaplane at a speed of only 160 kilometers per hour, having previously maintained a cloud level to ensure that it was not detected by the Chinese navy, which he had already reconnoitred, and he had managed to record the position of the Chinese fleet, and was now preparing to return home, because ...... The reconnaissance plane did not have large wireless telegraph equipment on board, and he returned to the sea where the fleet was located before he could drop the drifting bottle in which the message was recorded.

Suddenly, he heard what seemed to be a strange rhythm behind him, which made him wonder a little, and before he could turn his head to take a look, a hoarse machine gun had already sounded...... Although the air forces of the Allied and Allied powers had begun to shoot pistols each other on the battlefield of the European War, the real air battle was completely beyond Robinson's cognition.

Sima Jian pressed the machine gun button violently, and a series of bullets swept away from the position less than 200 meters away from the Blackburn water reconnaissance plane, and when he gently pulled the plane to close to the enemy plane, he caught a glimpse of the thick blood mist in the cockpit of the Blackburn seaplane, and then, with a violent explosion, the plane disintegrated in the air and swooped down to the sea thousands of meters below like a goddess scattering flowers!
