Remus changed the target of the attack, and the battle plan of the Eastern Ocean Fleet naturally needed to be changed accordingly, and the Navy General Staff, together with the Joint Command, urgently drew up a new battle plan on the basis of the previously prepared plan, and a few hours later, the new battle plan, which had been revised and supplemented, was issued after consulting the fleet command.

According to the new battle plan, Feng Ju immediately notified the defenders of Weil Island and asked them to strengthen their guard, while the main fleet began to turn and follow the Boston Ocean Fleet. In order not to disturb Remus again and make him change the direction of the attack again, Feng Ju ordered the nearby submarine forces to be calm and wait until the other side began to land before attacking.

Remus, who was complacent about his wise decision, had no idea that an invisible net was looming over him. A few days later, there was still no news from the Burke fleet, and there was no response to the contact, which made Remus a little uneasy, but the island of Val was already in sight, and he would not give up the fat on his lips. Therefore, he only sent additional reconnaissance planes to scatter in all directions to conduct non-stop reconnaissance, while the aircraft carrier fleet began to prepare for an air raid on Port Vale.

If Remus didn't have any success, he returned home with the fleet and lost hundreds of planes, he would definitely be dismissed, even if his family's power was great, it would be useless, after all, his position was very sought-after, and many of the big nobles in the country were staring at him.

Now, even if Remus wants to retreat, he must first make some achievements. After several days of trekking, the huge Boston Ocean Fleet finally arrived at its intended location, ninety kilometers east of Vail Island.

At this time, the Eastern Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire led by Feng Ju was much farther than expected due to the temporary change of direction, and at this time they were still 2,000 kilometers away from Remus's fleet, which required the garrison of Weil Island to hold out for at least two days to create an opportunity for the main fleet.

"See what's that?" Observer Ren Ping held the binoculars and looked at the huge and incomprehensible fleet in the distance, and at this moment he was sitting in a Seahawk 2 seaplane, next to his partner, the pilot of the plane, Liu Jun. Since there were no specialized reconnaissance planes on Vail Island, they could only send the only water patrol aircraft to search, and they quickly found the target due to the approximate location they had received from the intelligence bureau.

The Seahawk 2 seaplane is an old aircraft and the only three propeller military aircraft in the active air force of the Chinese Empire, the other two being the Army's Vulture 1 attack aircraft and the Albatross dive bomber.

The Seahawk-2 seaplane is 36.5 meters long, a behemoth with six engines, and it is generally used by the Chinese naval air force to patrol and anti-submarine between various islands. Due to the large number of equipment, in order to reduce costs, they were not equipped with radar systems, and the aircraft had only one sonar buoy and depth charge delivery device.

As a low-grade patrol aircraft, the six engines of the Seahawk 2 seaplane have only 600 horsepower, so its maximum speed is only 350 kilometers per hour.

The speed is indeed slow, but the fuselage of this kind of aircraft is large enough, the fuel load is large, and his stay time is an astonishing thirty-three hours, and the best mackerel-class submarine of the Boston Empire has only been lurking underwater for twelve hours, which is enough to make those submarines dare not wander around the ocean at will, but today's seaplane with infinite scenery in front of the submarine is obviously in the wrong place.

After seeing a plane approaching, dozens of Corsair fighters that were escorting the fleet quickly pounced. Just seeing the opponent's fleet, Ren Ping only saw a dense formation of warships, and before he could identify the type and number of the opponent's ships in detail, he saw the pirate fighters rushing straight forward.

"Liu Jun, a fighter jet is rushing over, let's retreat quickly." Seeing the unique anti-tilt wings of the Corsair fighter with a telescope, Ren Ping immediately recognized that this was a carrier-based fighter of the Boston Empire.

Hearing Ren Ping's warning, Liu Jun quickly turned around and flew towards Weil Island, and at the same time, the telegraph operator began to send a telegram to the island to warn him. When the plane turned around, Liu Jun's plane was still more than 30 kilometers away from the other party, but unfortunately his plane was too slow, and the group of pirate fighters, which was twice as fast as him, quickly narrowed the distance between the two sides.

"Prepare for battle." Seeing that there was no way to escape, Liu Jun had no choice but to inform his companion by radio. The Seahawk 2 water patrol aircraft had a crew of ten, most of whom were machine gunners, and after receiving orders from the pilots, the machine gunners quickly operated the plane's seven machine guns and prepared to defend themselves against the counterattack.

"Brothers, beat hard, don't let the Bostonians look down on us." Knowing that there was no possibility for his side to escape, observer Ren Ping encouraged his companion in the communicator while going down to the bottom hatch of the nose to operate the remaining machine gun in the nose.

"No problem, give these guys a look." Hearing Ren Ping's words, the machine gunners burst into excited shouts, and they concentrated their minds highly, turning the machine guns in their hands back and forth, looking for the opponent's plane.

With the fierce machine-gun fire, several tongues of fire flew out around the entire patrol plane, knocking the two Boston fighters who were caught off guard into a sieve. The Boston pilots who approached thought it was an unarmed water patrol plane, but they didn't expect its firepower to be so powerful, and the Boston pilots who were scrambling immediately pulled up to avoid its trajectory.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's group of planes to disperse, Liu Jun pressed the control stick violently and lowered the height of the plane to the point of close to the water. Today, the plane piloted by Liu Jun came out to look for the Boston fleet, so it did not carry depth charges or sonar buoys, which made the plane much lighter and more maneuverable.

The water patrol plane flew close to the surface of the water, and the high-speed rotating propellers generated a rapid air current, blowing layers of water mist on the sea surface, almost covering half of the fuselage. Liu Jun's eyes widened, and he made a serpentine maneuver on the sea surface with both hands clenched to avoid the attack of the Boston Air Force, which required a very high degree of skill, and if there was the slightest mistake, the plane would plunge headlong into the water.

Liu Jun's technique is still very good, although he is already nervous and soaked, he has always operated the plane smoothly without any problems. Due to the water mist and nearby waves, the machine guns in and around the plane were no longer functioning, and only the machine guns in the top turret were still firing into the air, disrupting the Boston fighter attack.

Several scattered Boston fighters gathered again, and when they saw the patrol planes of the Chinese army sailing close to the sea, they tried to shoot from a high altitude several times, but unfortunately the patrol planes were doing a serpentine evasion maneuver, and they could not aim at all, and the machine gun bullets naturally flew away.

Major Gotes, who was piloting the pirate fighter, gritted his teeth, and he also pushed the operating stick and rushed down, and at the moment when the nose of the aircraft was about to plunge into the sea, he pulled the steering stick into his arms, and the plane was dangerously flattened, and flew forward against the sea.

Major Gotes tried to shoot several times, but unfortunately Liu Jun skillfully dodged it, and the machine gunner, who was shooting in the top turret, saw that there was an enemy plane approaching behind, so he also turned his gun and fired at Major Gotes's plane, so that Major Gotes had to dodge left and right.

Seeing the opponent's pirate fighter flying closer and closer, Liu Jun gritted his teeth and broke the operating stick, the plane suddenly tilted, the wingtip of the right wing was slightly inserted into the water, and the entire wing squeaked because of the sudden increase in tension, as if it was about to break. It has to be said that the manufacturing process of the Chinese Empire is still very passable, the wing of the patrol plane is not broken, and with the sudden increase in drag, Liu Jun made the plane make a 90-degree turn against the water.

The right-wing engine, which was closer to the water, together with the wings inserted into the water, blew a dense cloud of mist, completely enveloping the Major Gautus plane that rushed up from behind.

Major Gautus, who couldn't see the situation near at all, shook his hand, and the Corsair fighter that was flying at high speed instantly plunged into the sea. Before Major Gawdes could scream, his plane had been torn into pieces by the tremendous pull of the sea.

The other Boston pilots saw that the most skilled of them, Major Gautus, had ended up like this, and none of them dared to do this dangerous maneuver of flying close to the surface.

The two sides were in a stalemate in the air for half an hour, and finally the Boston fighters, who were short of fuel, had to flee in a huff. Seeing the opposing fighter leave, a burst of applause erupted in the patrol plane, and Liu Jun also breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he realize that his whole body was soaked in sweat.

The patrol planes were brought back to the exact location of the Boston fleet, but their exposure also made the Bostonians more vigilant. The position where the Boston Fleet is now located is already within the combat radius for the Chinese Air Force, which has Golden Eagle 4 fighters on Weil Island, which is dangerous to the Boston Fleet, but because the combat radius of the Boston Navy's dreadnought dive bombers and Avenger torpedo planes is only more than 300 kilometers, it is impossible to attack if the distance is too far.

Fortunately, the fleet was not far from the predetermined position, in order not to give the other party time to prepare, Remus immediately ordered thousands of planes to take off and kill towards Weil Island, he decided to let the fleet continue to go forward, in order to shorten the distance of the group to return home, with this method, so that those aircraft with a short range took off in advance, and in this wave of aircraft accounted for sixty percent of the fighters, which was obviously to consume the Chinese Imperial Air Force fighters on the island.
