The sea was calm, the bow of the battleship cut through the calm sea, the fighter planes roared in the air, and the sound of engines echoed in the air......

This may be the first time that a human aircraft has flown in this area. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, this vast Pacific Ocean never imagined that this ocean was born to be prepared for all this, after all, the Pacific Ocean is too vast for the navy.

This is also an extremely important moment for the First Mobile Fleet of the Aviation, which is the first time that they have conducted offensive and defensive training under full readiness, and in addition to carrying out normal attack missions, the fighter unit also needs to assume the responsibility of defending the fleet, which is obviously a bit too advanced.

"Commander, is it really necessary to be so cautious in actual combat? So far, no country has been equipped with aviation weapons capable of destroying large ships of our armed forces, let alone other countries that are equipped with or are building fleet aircraft carriers comparable to those of our armed forces. Now we are again sending long-range reconnaissance planes to search for a large area, and we are also sending fighter planes to directly cover the formation, and if these forces are included in the attack aircraft group, will not we be able to strengthen the overall combat strength of the aircraft group? ”

The staff officer on the side asked with some puzzlement: Actually, as far as the First Air Mobile Unit is concerned, all the tactics are in the process of being drilled, and everything is blank, and it is precisely because of this that they feel a little puzzled by some tactics, and it can even be said that they cannot understand the "pedantry" of the commander.

In the face of the questioning of his subordinates, Shen Honglie did not feel any dissatisfaction, the proportion of staff officers of the First Air Mobile Unit is the highest in the entire navy, and when selecting staff officers, he did not select those top - those people will definitely not come to him, the people he selected are all the kind of students who are naughty and mischievous in the naval school, and it can be said that they are problem students in the hearts of the instructors, and the reason why he chooses that kind of people is because they are smart, and secondly, because they are not bound by the rules and regulations of the school. This makes it impossible for them to be constrained by the "supremacy of battleships".

Only in this way can they work with him to develop the tactics of the use of aircraft carriers, after all, everything here has never been done before, and every tactic and the use of the fleet requires countless deductions and training, of course, this requires them to use their own ideas to develop tactics suitable for aircraft carriers.

And the person who asked this question is exactly such a person, in the naval officer academy, he is an alternative, almost barely graduated in the way of the crane tail, but on the other hand, he is a very smart person, for example, when he was training in the navy's ocean-going voyage, he was arranged to the ammunition depot as a trainee, but he studied a set of ammunition maintenance programs after defueling during the voyage, and then promoted it in the navy.

Now, he may have died in the destroyer fleet, but Shen Honglie was pulled to the aircraft carrier to serve as an operational staff officer, but he could not understand the commander's caution.

With his hands crossed over his chest, Shen Honglie calmly watched the busy work on the deck:

"Not having it now does not mean that there will be no in the future, not to mention that the British also converted a water engine carrier with a coal carrier!"

Perhaps the countries are extremely lagging behind in their response to aircraft carriers, after all, this is due to aviation technology, but this does not rule out that they do not realize the role of aircraft in naval warfare - at least they can be used for reconnaissance, so Britain has taken the lead in building seaplane carriers to carry seaplanes, as for how they will use it, Shen Honglie is not clear, but he knows very well - one day, there must be more than just Chinese aircraft carriers on the sea.

Because he has been keenly aware of the role of aircraft carriers, compared to battleships, maybe aircraft carriers do not have heavy armor, maybe there are no huge naval guns, but aircraft carriers have aircraft that are not on battleships, just like his nine-year attack aircraft, even able to attack targets 500 kilometers away, although its bomb load is only 100 kilograms, it is almost meaningless, but in comparison, the Navy's battleships can only attack targets at most 37 kilometers away, which is the gap between the two, in many exercises, His aircraft carrier, which had no armor protection and was even built to the standards of merchant ships, attacked them again and again outside the range of the battlefleet, although it was only to cover the battleships of his side, but it made Shen Honglie see hope and hope for the use of aircraft carriers.

And this hope is that as long as the right tactics can be used, the aircraft carrier will definitely be able to defeat the battleship, and it can even be said that the battleship is not the opponent of the aircraft carrier at all, and maybe one day, the aircraft carrier will eliminate the battleship, of course, this premise is that the aircraft technology on the aircraft carrier is advancing.

Just like last year, when the "Golden Wing" aircraft carrier was just put into service, its planes could only carry a maximum of 200 kg of bombs, but now they can carry 400 kg, if it reaches 500 kg next year, its bomb load will be larger and larger in the future, and its bombs can completely destroy battleships at that time, of course, more importantly, Shen Honglie has begun to think about whether it is possible to use aircraft to drop torpedoes!

If this goal is achieved, it will be impossible for battleships to run amok ****** - aircraft carriers will launch the deadliest attack on the battlefleet that once dominated the seas from a hundred nautical miles! There, the sea will be ruled by aircraft carriers, and the question he needs to think about is this question - the question of the future!

"Therefore, we must take into account the lags and omissions of naval intelligence, after all, we can never know anything we want to know in the first place. Correspondingly, it is also necessary to take into account the leakage of our information, which leads to the other side taking effective countermeasures. Absolute self-confidence often leads directly to failure. The task of a staff officer is to take into account all possible situations and draw up plans one by one according to various changing factors, either to complete the combat mission at the lowest cost or to withdraw from the battle at the lowest cost, and to have an adequate way to deal with the changes in the situation. What is the difference between pinning hopes of victory on self-righteous assumptions and being a gambler? Fighting a war is not a gamble, the situation on the battlefield is instantaneous, and it is not uncommon for plans to be inconsistent with reality, and it is not uncommon for them to be fully prepared, to have the confidence to advance and retreat freely, and to only think of either winning or losing all, so that they are not qualified Imperial Navy officers. ”

Now, Shen Honglie did not explain tactics to them, but as a senior and commander, he told them what real staff officers should do, what principles they should abide by when formulating battle plans, and of course, it is important to tell them that subjective assumptions are undoubtedly a disaster for the army.

"At that time, the Russians assumed that our fleet could not carry out ocean-going operations before the First Pacific Fleet was annihilated, but our actions far exceeded their expectations, and our subjective assumptions led to the crushing defeat of the Second Pacific Fleet.

"Of course not, at that time we left two capital ships on the mainland, and although the Beiyang Navy was controlled by Li Hongzhang at that time, it was already secretly saying that if necessary, the Beiyang Fleet would help in the war, so that the difference in strength between the local fleet and the Russian First Pacific Fleet was actually not large, and our division of forces was not a risk, but based on reasonable analysis!"

After answering the chief's question first, Jiang Shan bowed slightly:

"What the commander said is very true, and the subordinate has been taught."

As his words fell, the whistle sounded again, and the second attack wave of the USS Goldwing was about to be released. That is, when the second attack wave began to fly, in the radio room under the bridge, the radio signal light suddenly turned on, and then the "click" radio sound and telegraph room sounded.

A few minutes later, the radio communications officer hurriedly walked into the bridge and bowed slightly to Shen Honglie.

"Commander, the Admiralty is in an emergency!"

At this time, the radio communications officer's expression seemed a little excited, equally nervous, but more excited.

Admiralty Emergency?

After receiving the telegram, Shen Honglie was stunned at first, but the moment he saw the telegram, his expression seemed a little complicated, since he was not excited, nor nervous, but calm with some solemnity.

"Commander?"

"Sound the signal of combat readiness, release the reconnaissance plane, send a report to the oil and water ships, order the recall of all aircraft, we are going to war!"

What the!

Fight!

With whom to fight?

At this time, Jiang Shan and the others no longer have the right to speak, they know that the only thing they need to do now is to recall the fighters according to the commander's orders and prepare for war!

"Your Excellency, are we going back to port, or are we?"

Receiving the telegram from the chief's hand, he immediately hurriedly asked, although he was surprised by what it said.

"Straight to Mexico!"

As the commander of the fleet, Shen Honglie was not willing to waste time returning to the voyage, if he returned, not only would he need to waste a few days, but he would also not be able to test the fleet's emergency combat readiness.

"Commander, wouldn't this be too risky?"

Another staff officer reminded, yes, this is too risky, this is simply going deep alone!

"Adventure? No, it's an exam! ”

Shen Honglie glanced at the staff officer who refuted and said solemnly.

"This is a test for the entire First Air Mobile Fleet, and if we pass this test, we will be able to show the world that a new era of naval warfare has arrived, ladies and gentlemen, don't you feel very honored?"

Yes, everyone should feel honored, at least in Shen Honglie's view, this will be the most glorious moment of his life, he will command this huge aircraft carrier fleet, thousands of nautical miles away to fight against countries that infringe on the interests of overseas Chinese, but this is not the most important, the most important thing is that he will command aircraft carriers to bomb targets on land with carrier-based aircraft, this will be the first "from sea and air to land" attack in human history, and this will undoubtedly go down in history......

"Alright, let's prepare together!"

The whistle of combat readiness sounded on the aircraft carrier, and at this moment, the "Golden Wing", a new force at sea, immediately prepared for the upcoming war......

When the First Air Mobile Unit, with the USS Goldfin aircraft carrier as the core, began to march toward Mexico, at Pearl Harbor, there was not much atmosphere of combat readiness at this time, and the air was still filled with tropical special cheerfulness. A steamer full of sleepy, awake sailors made a sound when it crossed the side of the flagship of the Shanghai Taiping Fleet, the "Datang", and a small rear admiral wearing a snow-white uniform jumped out and stepped onto the gangway. The 37,000-ton battleship was strapped to a pontoon, and in Pearl Harbor, its gray hull and cannon were shaded pink by the rising sun. As the steamer puffed toward the destroyers anchored in the West Bay, the Colonel climbed up the steep gangway to salute the flag and officers.

"I ask for permission to board the ship."

"Agreed, sir."

The eyes of the officer on duty widened. Dressed neatly. Wearing a white military uniform with gold-plated buttons, white gloves, and long binoculars under his armpits, this energetic second lieutenant was straight enough, but when facing the commander to board the ship, he could only straighten his body as much as possible.

"Welcome back to the ship, Sir!"

At the moment when Cheng Biguang stepped on the warship, the second lieutenant hurriedly welcomed him, and the rear admiral in front of him was the captain of the "Datang".

"It's finally back!"

Cheng Biguang walked along the foredeck, where there were already teams in coarse blue cloth overalls walking around, busy dodging the water sprayed out of the hoses when the flashing deck sailors washed the deck. The iron deck under your feet is very comfortable to step on. The Japanese breeze in the harbor has a pungent smell and smells pleasant. This was the world he knew, a well-organized world of massive warships, powerful machinery, active young sailors, heavy artillery, and the sea.

As the captain of the ship, Cheng Biguang breathed in the air, and at the same time, his eyes turned into the distance, looking towards the battleship "Wei Qing", although as a rear admiral, he had seen the world, he was still affected by its huge shadow, and he shook his head and sighed for a while.

"It seems that the flagship of the Pacific Fleet is about to change ships......"

Yesterday, at the officers' reception banquet held on board the "Weiqing", everyone was amazed at its size, surprised at his strength, so much so that the whole Pearl Harbor, everywhere talked about him, after all, he was too powerful, and would this mean that the flagship flag of the Pacific Fleet would be removed from his ship?

While he was thinking like this, the quiet air over there was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a rapid siren, which was a combat readiness alarm.

"What's going on?"

Just when Cheng Biguang was shocked, a staff officer hurriedly ran over.

"Sir, Your Excellency the Commander is going to hold a combat meeting on the ship!" (To be continued.) )
