Under the dim sky, more than 80 fighters of the Wasp Air Wing lined up in a goose-winged formation and were hurrying to the battlefield on the Eastern Front. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ╔╗

In the dark clouds, lightning and thunder roared, and a severe tropical storm was approaching. The strong convective weather has caused instability in the electronic equipment of the advanced fighters one after another, and the fighters are fighting fiercely.

"The wasp calls the nest! Wasps call the nest! ”

"Bird's Nest received! Bird's Nest received! Wasp, please! ”

"The Wasp reported that the attack aircraft group encountered strong convective weather, and the state of most of the electronic instruments was sharply unstable, and requested to return immediately! Repeat ......"

"The order is the same! Execute as planned! Your unit must arrive at the designated place within 30 minutes, and the military law will be dealt with! ”

"Wasp understands!"

Turning off the radio, Colonel Xue Qiming, the captain of the Wasp Air Wing, looked helpless. On the one hand, the front line urgently needs air support from his air wing, and on the other hand, his wing uses advanced jet fighters with a large number of new electronic equipment. These electronic devices ensure the strong combat effectiveness of the fighters, but because the new electronic equipment lacks anti-jamming ability, it is very unstable and prone to danger in such strong convective weather.

The clouds were getting lower, the thunder and lightning were getting more intense, and the sky was raining lightly.

Visibility on the sea surface was significantly reduced, which had a great impact on the optical sighting system of the German ship. Vice Admiral Hines had to order his fleet to approach the Guanghua Emperor in order to obtain precise strike coordinates.

But for the battleship Guanghua the Great. After the modernization, the traditional optical gun sighting system has added fire control radar equipment, so that the main gun of the Guanghua Emperor will not lose its strike coordinates due to weather conditions. Although the fire control radar technology of the Chinese Empire is not yet perfect, and it cannot achieve high-precision coordinate positioning capabilities, the accuracy of its artillery sighting radar system is also within 100 meters.

The target of the Guanghua Emperor is a huge German battleship, and the 100-meter error will be hedged a lot because of the length of the German ship of 200 meters and the width of tens of meters, and according to the theory of circumferential distribution of error, it will increase the hit rate by 33.3% compared with the main gun of the German ship.

In this case. The Gwanghua Emperor avoided close combat with the Heines fleet and continued to maintain a distance of at least 30 kilometers. ╔╗

Obviously, the Hines fleet was bent on getting close to the Guanghua Emperor, but it exposed its shortcomings in speed. German ships, which blindly pursued armor protection, were obviously inferior to the Chinese Empire in speed. The speed of the battleship Guanghua the Great exceeded that of the Hines fleet by more than 4 knots, and it was completely uncaught up by the other side.

In order to pursue attack accuracy, the Hines fleet could only approach the Guanghua Emperor, so it was led by the Guanghua Emperor. This was in line with Li Dingxin's strategy, and he hoped that the German ships would take the initiative to attack him.

The Hines fleet and Li Dingxin's Central Fleet engaged in a chase battle. Hines, who was bent on sinking the battleship Guanghua the Great, completely forgot about the breakout at this moment. Although Hansen repeatedly ordered him to withdraw, he refused on various grounds. Especially now that the sky has started to rain. Hines has even more reason.

The sky was thunder and lightning. ╔╗ But it can't suppress the roar of the main guns of the ultimate battleship of the Chinese and German armies.

The sea was boiling because of the constant fall of shells on both sides.

In accordance with Li Dingxin's order, the other air defense cruisers and destroyers of the Central Fleet continued to follow and attack the Hansen fleet, delaying them as much as possible. The two missile cruisers continued to attack Hansen's fleet, taking advantage of the Germans' fear and forcing them to change course in order to delay time.

On the other side, the Imperial Chinese Navy's Two Oceanic Fleet and the British Royal Navy's main fleet were rushing in from the north and south.

By this time, the sun had already set below sea level. But the sky was still dreary, not completely dark. Because the clouds refract the sunlight in the distance, the visibility on the battlefield can be maintained. ╔╗

The Wasp Air Wing arrived at the battlefield at 6:55 p.m. But Li Dingxin did not let it attack the Hines fleet. Instead, he was ordered to directly attack the Hansen fleet, with only one purpose, that is, to drag the Hansen fleet as much as possible.

At this time, the Wasp Air Wing only had 71 fighters left, and the other fighters were forced to return due to strong convective weather during the flight, and three of them were crashed by lightning strikes.

Colonel Xue Qiming commanded the remaining fighters to form an echelon formation and quickly launched an attack on Hansen's fleet.

Hansen didn't expect the Chinese Imperial fighters to come so soon, he also thought that the Chinese Imperial Navy aircraft carrier battle group had arrived nearby, and he was nervous about it for a long time.

It wasn't until he found out that there were more than 70 fighters attacking that he was relieved. This confirmed his idea even more, and Li Dingxin had no forces around him that could intercept him, so Hansen ordered the fleet to move on. I don't plan to pay attention to it, as long as it is out of the strike radius of the Chinese Imperial aircraft carrier battle group, then they will be safe.

It's just that, although there are only more than 70 fighters, it has caused a lot of losses to Hansen's fleet. For the main battleship of Hansen's fleet, aerial bombs falling from the sky had little effect on it, and its strong armor protection neutralized most of the blast. But it was fatal to other thin-skinned battleships. Three cruisers were heavily damaged, and four destroyers were sunk on the spot.

Although the torpedoes dropped by the Wasp Air Wing posed a great threat to the main battleships of Hansen's fleet, the number of torpedoes was limited, and most of them hit Hansen's flagship.

Hansen had already prepared to have a number of cruisers and destroyers to escort him, and if necessary, he went directly to use them as torpedoes. It was for this reason that Hansen's flagship was attacked only by three torpedoes, but none of them hit the vital point, allowing it to miraculously survive, and even the speed was reduced by only 2 knots, which did not affect its sailing.

The other battleships of Hansen's fleet were attacked to varying degrees, but since the Wasp Air Wing concentrated most of the torpedoes on Hansen's flagship, all other battleships were attacked by only one to three torpedoes, of which the battleship Frankfurt was hit and sunk by three torpedoes, and the other three battleships were damaged, but did not affect the voyage.

The Hornets Air Wing's attack lasted only seven minutes, as they ran out of fuel to return home. Because of this, combined with the bad weather, the Hornet Air Wing's attack effect was greatly reduced, and it did not even play a third of its usual level. Instead, it was hit by the powerful anti-aircraft guns of the German ships and lost a third of its fighters.

On the other side, Li Dingxin's Guanghua Emperor and Henes's five battleships continued to exchange fire. The two sides shelled each other at a distance of about 30 kilometers, but after more than an hour, they did not hit a single shell of the other side.

It was not until seven o'clock in the afternoon that twenty-one salvos of fire from the Guanghua Emperor were fired, and a 20-inch shell from the No. 3 main gun hit the right rear position of the battleship Empress, Hines's ship.

The 1.8-ton shell hit the battleship Empress, destroying half of the island in an instant, killing hundreds of German officers and men on the spot. The battleship Empress burst into flames, and the flames were so bright that the light could be seen with the naked eye from a distance of thirty kilometers.

The shells did not fatally injure the battleship Queen, but only destroyed the rear bridge command system, and a seven-meter-wide fire field cut off the connection between the front and rear bridges. The moment the cannonball hit the Queen, the ground shook like a mountain, knocking Lieutenant General Hines down in the command tower, causing him to suffer a serious head injury. (To be continued.)
