Expose the target

Even if a huge fleet of hundreds of ships of all kinds is formed, it is almost impossible to completely disappear into the vast East China Sea

After all, the Japanese government, which received the news, had already deployed a large number of reconnaissance planes on all routes to Japan for round-the-clock inspections, and once the Chinese expeditionary fleet entered the range of the Japanese Air Force and exposed its targets, there was no doubt that even Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua would not have any way to deal with it

Early in the morning, when Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua walked to the command platform of the aircraft carrier facing the rising sun, Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan followed closely behind, and said with a little nervousness: Commander-in-Chief, from now on, our fleet has entered the patrol waters of the Japanese Okinawa Air Force.

The target of exposure is certain, we are attacking the Japanese mainland, even if we want to sneak attack, it is impossible, you are an expert in naval warfare, I have only one request for you, to postpone the exposure time of our fleet as much as possible, to find a way, before the enemy patrol planes discover us, we will give them a preemptive strike and kill them first....Liu Huadao

Please rest assured, commander-in-chief, as long as the Japanese planes dare to appear in our sight, I dare to guarantee that they will not return....For Liu Hua's decentralization, Chen Shaokuan was obviously very happy, replied confidently, and then gave a military salute, and then walked quickly into the aircraft carrier command room...

Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua stood on the command platform of the aircraft carrier, looking at the vast sea in front of him, because of the future of the expeditionary force and fell into contemplation, when the huge deck of the aircraft carrier had already sounded a deafening roar of engines, followed by a huge wave of air, an American fighter jet under Liu Hua's gaze quickly whistled away from the flight runway beside him, leaving the flight deck and soaring straight into the sky....

In less than ten minutes, the twelve fighters of a whole fighter squadron formed several cruising formations in the airspace above the aircraft carrier, and dispersed to patrol the entire fleet

At the same time, several reconnaissance planes in the Japanese military airfield on Okinawa Island also plunged into the sky with a long whistling sound, starting a day's routine patrol and reconnaissance....

A group of two reconnaissance planes of the Japanese army, a patrol carrier-based aircraft squad of the expeditionary force, and three fighters happened to collide with each other in the airspace less than five kilometers away from the formation...

Looking at the very conspicuous plaster flag on the little devil's plane, the wingman pilot in charge of reconnaissance immediately let out an excited exclamation....

Reconnaissance plane, little devil's reconnaissance plane....Captain, we have meat to eat, it's a little devil reconnaissance plane, and it's two...

At the same time, the Japanese reconnaissance plane also saw the Chinese fighter rushing towards it, and while shocked, without the slightest hesitation, it directly pulled up the control stick of the plane and wanted to retreat

At this moment, in the face of the formation of Chinese fighters that are one more than their own, coupled with the huge intelligence that they have discovered the Chinese fleet, the first thing the two little devil pilots think of is not to die in battle, but to flee for their lives

However, for the three Chinese pilots, how could the two Japanese reconnaissance planes, which had already become fat, spit out, and when they saw the reaction of the Japanese reconnaissance planes, a trace of excitement and expectation quickly flashed on the face of the captain of the cruise formation, and he directly ordered the two deputies behind him

Brethren, the little devils want to run, the first squad will attack for me immediately, and they will destroy them quickly....

Thundered...

As soon as the order was given, the power of the fighters was instantly increased to the maximum, and the three fighters quickly chased after them like three disconnected arrows

How could the flight speed of the reconnaissance plane be comparable to the combat effectiveness, although the little devil pilots had already increased the power to the maximum, but in less than two minutes, three Chinese fighters had already appeared behind them

The distance is getting closer and closer....Just as the Japanese reconnaissance planes entered the range of the three fighters, three thick tongues of fire appeared behind them..., the cunning Chinese actually sneaked attack....

The leader of the reconnaissance team of the Japanese plane, relying on his rich piloting experience, turned around and just dodged the tongue of fire behind him, but the partner next to him was not so lucky, and at the same time, the reconnaissance plane baptized by two tongues of fire was directly hit on the fuel tank, and in an instant, it turned into a huge fireball and slowly fell to the sea

Seeing that it was a colleague who had been buried in the fire around him, the leader of the Japanese reconnaissance team did not have time to carry out any grief, so he had to concentrate highly on dealing with the crisis he needed to face next

Dealing with one of the reconnaissance planes, the three pilots immediately set their sights on the other devil reconnaissance plane, and the three fighters pounced directly on the reconnaissance plane that had just escaped the catastrophe like hungry wolves

Although the leader of the little devil reconnaissance team relied on his rich combat experience to shuttle back and forth between the three fighters and dodge fatal blows again and again, his two fists were difficult to defeat after all, and less than a minute after the four-handed battle began, a thick tongue of fire swept directly across the right wing of the reconnaissance plane, and under the action of huge kinetic energy, the wing of the plane with countless bullet holes was directly cut off from the waist

Suddenly, the Japanese reconnaissance plane, which was still as dexterous as a falcon just now, lost its wing on one side like a kite with a broken string, and was not commanded at all, and directly spun around in a circle, braving billowing smoke, and swooping down to the sea

Rumble...

A loud and violent explosion sounded on the battlefield of air combat, and the Japanese reconnaissance plane, which had been unavoidable, was directly hit by a flaming tongue that followed it....

The brothers did a good job, immediately returned to the course, reported to the command station that our first patrol team had encountered two Japanese reconnaissance planes, had shot them down, and asked for instructions on the next operation....Seeing the wreckage of the plane that had slowly disappeared on the surface of the sea, the team leader who had won the first battle decisively ordered while being excited

A telegram from the leader of the First Patrol Squadron was tantamount to a stone stirring up a thousand waves for the entire expeditionary fleet, and within five minutes of receiving the telegram, Liu Hua, Zuo Quan, Chen Shaokuan, and others appeared in the huge war room with nervous faces

As the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Liu Hua was the first to speak: Comrades, I won't say much about the seriousness of the matter when the Japanese reconnaissance plane appeared around us, and everyone understands in their hearts that Commander Chen, you are the commander of the navy, what do you think about this matter?

Commander-in-Chief: Although the Japanese reconnaissance plane has been shot down, we do not rule out that before the plane was shot down, the pilot had already reported our location to their headquarters by telegram, of course, even if the two reconnaissance planes did not disappear for no reason, the Japanese military top brass could also determine our approximate location through the patrol area of the reconnaissance plane, so I think the question now is not whether the Japanese army has discovered us, but what kind of emergency preparations we should make....Chen Shaokuan replied with a solemn face

Commander Chen is right, no matter what time we have to consider the worst, so now we must immediately prepare for the first round of air strikes by the Japanese army, Commander Chen, you are the only naval warfare expert among us, what to do or you have the final say....Liu Hua nodded in agreement, and ordered with a serious face

It's the commander-in-chief ....

According to the conventional method of naval warfare, if the Japanese army wants to come up with a motive group to launch an attack on our fleet, it is necessary to determine our specific position, and according to the report of the first patrol group, the two reconnaissance planes just now have not yet discovered our fleet, and they have shot down our fleet, that is to say, the current Japanese army can only determine our approximate range at most

Judging from the direct distance between our fleet and Okinawa and the range of Japanese bombers and fighters, the Japanese Air Force stationed in Okinawa will certainly immediately dispatch a new round of reconnaissance planes to determine the specific location of our fleet after learning the approximate range of our fleet, and then dispatch all fighters and bombers to first destroy our aircraft carrier fleet and the carrier-based fighters that pose the greatest threat to its fleet...

If I'm not mistaken, a new round of reconnaissance planes sent by the Japanese army may already be on their way to ... Chen Shaokuan analyzed with a serious face..., your analysis is very good, that is, I, an army officer, can't find any fault in it, since I have analyzed the possible tactics of the Japanese army, then how should we deal with it......For Chen Shaokuan's superb analysis, even Liu Hua, who came from later generations, couldn't help but nod in agreement, and asked with emotion

Once again, a squadron of carrier-based fighters was dispatched to expand the cruising range, and as soon as a new round of Japanese reconnaissance planes was discovered, it would be destroyed immediately, and the other side would absolutely not be allowed to discover the specific position of our fleet, and at the same time, the entire fleet would immediately be arranged in the following air defense formation: with the aircraft carrier as the center, the cruiser followed by the transport, the destroyer in the middle, and the outermost gunboat cruising in the middle of the formation, acting as a mobile air defense battery

The last and most important one, even if the fleet is attacked by the Japanese planes, the entire fleet cannot stop at all, and it must be clear that once our warships are in a state of motion, coupled with the dense anti-aircraft fire network of the entire fleet, the hit rate of the Japanese aircraft group will drop to the lowest state

Commander-in-chief, that's all I have to order, I don't know if you have anything else to add....Chen Shaokuan ordered with a serious face

There was no addition....The chief of staff immediately issued the original text of Commander Chen's order to every captain of the fleet....Liu Hua ordered with a serious face
