Chapter 429: Air Force Sortie

It was a good day on August 6th, the weather was sunny and sunny, but the temperature was a little high, and there was a light breeze blowing on the sea. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and the fishermen who were fishing in the East China Sea looked up and saw a dense small black dot in the sky in the distance.

"Shhhh A young fisherman muttered to himself as he looked at the hundreds of large iron birds in the distance.

The old fisherman at the bow of the boat scolded: "What's your business? This kind of iron bird is not unseen, every day out to fish, you can see three or three big iron birds flying in the sky, the sound is beating again, noisy to death, don't look at it, quickly pull the net, today can not fish, the family has to drink the northwest wind! ”

The young fisherman said, "Dad, today is different, when have you ever seen so many big iron birds flying together?" There are hundreds of them, and they seem to be flying to the side of Xiao Dongyang! ”

The old fisherman listened to the eldest son say this, thinking that it was really a little abnormal, although he could often see this kind of iron bird flying in the sky, but there had never been so many together, this number was too large, it looked like a fast-moving dark cloud, the appearance of the wind and rain was coming, extremely scary.

The first wave of attack fighters was formed in an attack triangle formation, and the commander of the group, Lan Rulong, was led by an oversized bomber. The bomber was modified, and dozens of people were working inside the cabin, constantly calculating the flight speed, time, and course. Receiving telegrams, which is not a bomber. Rather, it was an AWACS aircraft, on which a large telegraph was secured. You can contact the domestic base at any time to report the situation.

A pilot pilots the plane while looking at the sea below, judging the surrounding position and coordinates, and from time to time looking at the aviation watch, judging the specific position of the group at this time according to the flight speed dial.

It didn't take long for him to seem to see the land, and when he looked at it, it was land, and then he looked at the terrain of the land. Turning his head to look at the topographic map next to him, he was sure that he had arrived in Nagasaki, Japan.

Since communication technology had not yet been greatly developed at this time, in the sky planes could only communicate with each other through guò gestures between pilots and pilots, and the command of battles could only be carried out through guò gestures.

Commander Lan Rulong sent people to gesture to the pilots of the planes on the left and right: "Inform me that we have arrived in Nagasaki, Japan, in order to prevent being discovered by the Japanese and be prepared, now all the fighters will raise their altitude, enter the clouds, and try to avoid the clouds and fly." ”

The pilots of the planes on the left and right sides immediately passed this order on. It took several minutes just for this process of transmitting the order, but Lan Rulong wouldn't wait that long, and after he issued the order, he pulled up the lever. The plane raised its head and flew towards the clouds above, and many of the fighters behind saw it, although they had not yet received orders, but they all followed his plane to the clouds.

When the group entered the sky above the clouds of Nagasaki. Despite hiding in the clouds, the noise from the engines of the 500 fighters could not be eliminated. The rumbling sound still reached the ground, which made many Japanese people working on the ground of Nagasaki a little curious. Where does the noise come from? Many superstitious Japanese even think that God is going to be angry, so they kneel on the ground and pray.

After the Japanese land sky today, the distance between the aircraft group and Tosa Bay is not very far, Lan Rulong still issued a specific combat order, his first wave of attack aircraft group is divided into five teams, each team has 100 fighters, fighters, bombers and torpedo planes account for 1:2:2, that is to say, each team has 20 fighters, 40 bombers, and 40 torpedo planes.

According to his deployment, each flying combat team was divided into 20 flying combat groups, that is, one fighter, two bombers, and two torpedo planes formed a flying combat group, and the Japanese ships whose attack targets were 3,000 tons or less were dealt with by a combat group. In the same way, if the attack is not over and the target has been severely damaged and has lost power, or is about to sink, the flying combat team will immediately abandon the attack on the ship and go to the aid of other flying combat groups; The target of the attack has a displacement of 10,000 tons or less and more than 6,000 tons, and it is dealt with by three flying combat groups; The displacement of the attack target is more than 10,000 tons and less than 20,000 tons, and it is dealt with by four flying combat groups; The displacement of the attack target is more than 20,000 tons, and six flying combat groups are used to deal with it, and as for how to distinguish the target displacement, this can be distinguished at a glance from the size, length and width of the ship, and this is the first deployment.

Second, the division of labor during operations should be clear, and after arriving at the operational airspace, the first, second, and third warplanes were responsible for attacking the main large ships of the Japanese fleet, that is, all armored cruisers, battleships, and battlecruisers with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons were the targets of these three warlines. The 4th and 5th warframes were responsible for attacking heavy and light cruisers with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons, as well as destroyers, frigates, torpedo boats, and other ships.

Third, each flying combat group should find the target of attack in the fastest possible time, and after finding it, it should not change the target of attack lightly, and should not be half-hearted, each with its own target of attack, so that the entire attack operation will be in an orderly manner and will not be in a state of chaos, unless the target of the attack has lost power, or has been seriously damaged, or is about to sink before it is allowed to change the target of attack.

Fourth, if something goes wrong with the fighter plane during the attack, or if it is hit and cannot return safely, it is necessary to parachute as soon as possible and wait for the rescue of the naval fleet.

Fifth, any fighter plane must complete the operation within half an hour, because the fuel stock does not allow the combat time to exceed half an hour, the fighter plane is allowed to keep a small amount of ammunition, the bomber must drop all the bombs in the magazine, only the machine gun bullets are allowed to be retained, and the torpedo plane must also finish throwing the torpedo, because the torpedo machine generally only carries one large torpedo or two medium torpedoes, so it can return first after throwing the torpedo without waiting for other fighters.

After Lan Rulong had issued all the orders and the five hundred fighters had received these orders, the group had already seen the sea again, and after Lan Rulong observed the outline of the land and the sea below, he turned his head and looked at the topographic map next to him, and found that he had reached Saeki in front, and the bay in front was Saeki Bay.

The group flew over Saeki Bay, flew over the sea for a distance, and soon saw the land, Lan Rulong guessed that it should be to Sumao, and the bay in front of it was Sumo Bay.

After the group flew over Sumao, it was under the command of the early warning aircraft of Lan Rulong. The five smaller, most agile reconnaissance planes flew faster in four directions, first to reconnoiter the airspace over Tosa Bay and find the rendezvous of the Japanese fleet.

In fact, the Chinese naval fleet has already rushed to Tosa Bay, and it is only a hundred nautical miles away from Tosa Bay, and on the surface of Tosa Bay, there are already more than a dozen Chinese submarines hidden here, the size of three submarine formations.

At this time, a slightly larger submarine flagship raised its antenna to the surface of the sea and sent radio waves, and the flagship of the ship formation continuously reported the situation of the Japanese fleet to the approaching naval fleet.

The first wave, a wave of attack aircraft swarms.

Lan Rulong walked around in the command cabin of the early warning aircraft with his arms crossed, although this early warning aircraft is the most primitive early warning aircraft, in addition to being able to communicate with the domestic base by telegraph, it can only communicate orders to other fighters through the window, but even so, it still has an irreplaceable role, it can organize the attack of the aircraft group in time, and convey orders in time, this is a command center.

"Sir, the front has reached the waters of Tosa Bay, and the No. 3 reconnaissance plane has sent a telegram reporting that it has spotted a Japanese reconnaissance plane flying towards us, and I ask the commander to give instructions quickly, we will be exposed if it is too late," an air force officer came over and reported.

Lan Rulong immediately said: "Order the escort flight team to send two fighters to meet it and kill it, and not let it escape back to report the news!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

After the officer left, Lan Rulong muttered to himself: "It seems that we have to find a way to urge the upper authorities to install the wireless intercom qì on the plane, otherwise this command is extremely inconvenient, the reconnaissance plane is better, one pilot pilots the plane, the other sends a telegram, and the other fighter plane cannot send a telegram, and there is no wireless intercom, so you can only use gestures, and the order is very inadequate!" ”

In addition to the fact that China has miniaturized the transmitter and can be carried by a single soldier, the technology of other countries has not improved much at all, and no country has ever thought of loading the wireless transmitter on the plane, let alone the wireless communication equipment, and the Chinese side has invented the wireless communication equipment, but it has not yet had time to install the wireless communication equipment on the fighter and the warship.
