Chapter 615: The Battle in the Atlantic

readx; 'Buzz ......! ’

Hundreds of warplanes are flying in the air, and they are only more than 100 meters away from the sea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The icy sea water is too much to adapt to, and even on a warship, the soldiers can feel the chilling cold.

The U.S. fleet has already appeared on the radar screen, and seeing that they are getting closer and closer to the target, the pilots don't feel anything, they are fighting whoever they fight, and they don't think that the U.S. military will be much stronger than them.

Even the British Navy has been beaten, will you be afraid that the US Navy will not succeed?

After several hours of flight, the fighter formation was only more than 20 kilometers away from the US fleet, and the fog on the sea surface was relatively large, so the visibility was not good.

Therefore, today's attack will be affected to a certain extent, at least it is impossible to guarantee the absolute safety of the fighters, unlike before, when they can directly launch an attack at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and in today's situation, it is thankful that they can launch missiles at an altitude of 3,000 meters.

"There was a U.S. military patrol plane flying in the direction we were."

Suddenly, the plane on the radar screen, which had been flying in one direction, suddenly turned and flew towards the position where the formation was.

"Don't worry, continue to maintain speed and course, just his speed, when he flies over, we will already be over, just observe closely."

Liang Jun, the captain of the HNA Brigade in charge of the sneak attack, looked at the radar screen and was not too surprised.

Reconnaissance planes are often responsible for patrolling and reconnoitring an area, and if they do not find the enemy in that area, they will naturally turn here to search for it, and so on and so forth, to ensure the safety of the fleet.

If they activated the emergency plan at this time, they could only give the US fleet more time to prepare, and they had worked hard for so long before, and it would have been in vain to fly so far at an ultra-low altitude.

Now they are still about fifty nautical miles or so away from the American fleet, normal. At the current rate, it will take about ten minutes.

Although more than 10 minutes is not enough for all US carrier-based planes to take off, with the current training situation of the US military, it is still no problem for each of the eight aircraft carriers to take off 1,200 fighters.

And the real take-off speed of the US military will definitely be faster than this, because they believe that the Americans must have been prepared to deal with all emergencies along the way.

The fighters must be parked on the deck, and even the pilots are not too far away from the fighters, and the fuel, ammunition, etc., are all ready.

With the launch capacity of the Chinese Empire's aircraft carriers, under normal circumstances, four fighters per minute would be more than enough. Of course. The premise is that all take-off work is ready.

In case of an emergency. Even if the life of the fighter is damaged, they will increase the take-off speed of the fighter, and if it is limited, it can take off almost five or six fighters in a minute. On average, one every ten seconds.

At this time, because of the fighter itself, the weight is too light compared to the fighters of later generations, and the runway of the aircraft carrier is long enough, so if it is an escort aircraft carrier, it will not work, so the Midway-class aircraft carrier is equipped with a catapult system.

However, in the entire naval sequence, this ejection system has never been used, mainly because it is too cumbersome. It affects the take-off and landing speed, and the J-1 has a strong thrust, so it can take off quickly even without using the catapult system.

In this case, the fighters were next to each other, one had just left the deck, and the second began to take off. So the speed of take-off at this time is still very fast.

Unlike later generations, the fighter had to stop in the take-off position, and then there was a catapult plate in the rear to add power to the aircraft, to ensure that it could take off successfully at short distances, etc., that kind of appearance conditions were too restrictive, far less convenient than now.

At that time, after the J-2 is equipped with the navy, it will also begin to develop in that direction, and the J-1 is fundamentally different from the J-2, and even the aircraft carrier needs to be redesigned if it is not good.

You must know that there are only more than 200 fighters in the first echelon, and there are more than 200 fighters in the second echelon, and the two echelons together are only a little more than 400 planes.

In the icy waters, and there is no fleet of their own around them, they are shot down at this time, and there are only two ways to go, first, to freeze to death, and second, to be captured by the American army, no matter which one they are, they do not want to choose.

Five minutes later, the first echelon in charge of Liang Jun successfully avoided the eyes and ears of the US reconnaissance plane, but the second echelon was not so lucky.

Because the distance between the two echelons is not far away, and the first echelon is just right because of the time and conditions, as long as there are no accidents, they can smoothly avoid the opponent's reconnaissance plane.

However, because the conditions of the second echelon were not good, and because the US military reconnaissance plane was condescending and had a relatively good line of sight, in the end, the US military reconnaissance plane still discovered the second echelon.

"We were spotted by enemy reconnaissance aircraft."

Soon, the commander of the second echelon came with the news, because the second echelon and the US reconnaissance plane happened to meet at the crossroads of the route, and it was not very likely that the two sides would want to completely avoid it at this time.

"Kill him, the first echelon, accelerate and start to climb to the predetermined attack height, and then move at full speed to reach the battlefield in the shortest possible time, and the second echelon will also hurry over, don't give the US army more chances."

Seeing that the formation had leaked its position, although it still couldn't dodge, it had five minutes anyway, and these five minutes had already brought them closer to more than thirty nautical miles.

If the fighter is moving at full speed at this time, it will be about five minutes at most to reach the target, and if it climbs up, it will almost be time to attack in two or three minutes of level flight.

Although they still failed, at least the mission of the first echelon was considered successful, at least their previous covert flight was successful, and they were not detected by the radar of the US military.

"Sir, there is suddenly an extra fighter next to our reconnaissance plane."

A U.S. radar soldier looked at the radar screen and pointed to the screen in disbelief.

"Damn, where did he come from? It can't be a seabird, right? ”

A U.S. military officer walked over scolding, with a look of unhappiness on his face.

They had already traveled so far, and they were all safe and sound, but they were about to arrive in England, but suddenly there was an accident, and the officers of the American army did not believe that the Chinese Empire would avoid their radar detection.

So, he'd rather believe that the screen was showing a seabird than that he was an enemy warplane, because that couldn't have happened.

"Sir, look, our reconnaissance plane is gone."

And there were still two dots on the screen just now, but suddenly they became one dot, and the radar soldier shouted in surprise.

"Are you sure it's not the seabirds that have come back to the surface?"

The U.S. officer was lying on the radar screen, two points he saw, but suddenly one point disappeared, which is a bit surprising, there are only two possibilities in this situation, first, the seabird returned to the surface of the sea, the radar could not detect it, and second, one of the planes was shot down.

"I'm sure it's our reconnaissance plane that disappeared, and I've been keeping an eye on the location of our reconnaissance plane."

The radar soldier said with certainty.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Suddenly, a radar soldier on the other side suddenly shouted loudly, and the entire radar room, even the people outside heard his shout.

"**, are you going to die? Why are you yelling so loudly? ”

The U.S. officer covered his ears and cursed.

"An enemy attack, really an enemy attack, more than 200 nautical miles away from us, more than 200 planes suddenly appeared, and it could never be a seabird."

The radar soldier said with certainty.

Although the radar technology of the United States is already very advanced, at this stage, they are still unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and even cannot distinguish between seabirds and airplanes, if it is a large group of seabirds, they will definitely take off fighters to deal with it, because on the radar, the image of a flock of birds is the same as that of a flock of fighters.

That's why the radar is installed in the mountains, if it's installed in a canyon, then well, this radar is a scrap, because he can't detect anything, and the mountains completely block his view.

"**, alarm, alarm, sound the alarm."

The U.S. military officer walked to the radar screen on the other side, and when he found that a large group of spots had indeed appeared there, he subconsciously realized that it might indeed be an enemy attack.

If it is a seabird, it is impossible that there was no phenomenon before, and then such a large group suddenly appeared, after all, it is not the first day of the navy, and the situation at sea can still be analyzed.

Suddenly, the originally calm US fleet suddenly became lively, and the pilots on the aircraft carrier urgently got into their cars, and then started the engines, depressed, they had to go through dozens of seconds of warm-up before they could meet the initial take-off requirements.

Because the temperature here is too low and the humidity is too heavy, if you don't do it, there will be problems with the fighters, and the American troops on the other transport ships walked to the deck, looking at the busy navy over there, and put it in front of everyone with a look of enjoyment.

"The first echelon has arrived over the target area, and the target enemy escort ships are the first to choose the aircraft carrier, and each aircraft will form a three-plane formation to attack freely."

Looking at the U.S. warships below that had gradually appeared, and the U.S. air force had not taken off a few planes, Liang Jun was very satisfied and commanded over the radio.
