Chapter 208: Solomon Checkers

At 9:40 a.m., 90 nautical miles north-northeast of Kirakira, the "Jinpeng" with the flag of Lieutenant General of the Eastern High Commander fluttering on the top of the mast, Pan Guochen returned to the commander's bridge in the middle of the island with a gloomy face.

About half an hour ago, at the first attack wave at 6:1 a.m., the returning planes began to land one after another, and Pan Guochen also seized a good position on the bridge of the aviation ship early, silently waiting for the "Haizhendian" fighter with the mark of the Rising Sun Crane painted on the tail wing.

The first to land was the escort fighter squadron, which was about to bottom out of fuel tanks after a fierce air battle over Kirakira.

Of the escort fighters of the first attack wave, there were 12 planes belonging to the 5th Air Wing of the Jinpeng, and no matter how Pan Guochen opened his eyes and pulled his fingers, before the torpedo planes of the attack team began to land, only seven of the "Haizhendian" fighters on the ship had their tail hooks successfully hooked the barrage wire at the rear of the flight deck, but none of them were the one he wanted to wait for.

Eighteen of the ship's attack squadron in the first attack wave belonged to the ship's air wing, and Pan Guochen was hoping for luck and anxiously waiting for one after another, and the "Golden Eagle" attack planes with empty bellies and bullet marks on the canvas skin either smoothly or dangerously hooked the steel cables, and were firmly pulled to a stop on the brand-new wooden flight deck by the soft resistance of the hydraulic arresting device.

From one to twelve, there is still no, there is no sea shock, there is no sunburst crane, and there is no female pilot who does not belong to this world in Pan Guochen's opinion.

The tail hook of the last "Golden Eagle" broke away from the blocking steel cable, and moved to the temporary parking area at the front of the deck surrounded by the deck workers in the blue vest.

Finally, a small black dot on the sea antenna, accompanied by the cheers around it, became clearer and clearer, the sea earthquake electricity, the rising sun crane, the flower of a certain team, finally came back, but the body seemed to be constantly trembling in the air?

The trembling plane entered the ship's course crookedly, and there was silence all around, and Pan Guochen forgot to breathe.

It's closer, it's closer, the height, it's going to hit the stern

Hey, pull it too high

Deviate, quickly pedal the rudder

**……

The soles of his feet shook slightly, and he saw that the Rising Sun Crane hit the anti-aircraft gun mount at the back of the bridge, and instantly broke into two parts: the second half popped out of the board and fell into the sea; The first half rolled over the No. 2 elevator and stopped grazing the tail of the "Golden Eagle" that landed at the back......

For what?

Finally......

Damn Crow's Beak...... No, a 10,000-goddamn crow brain

Pan Guochen couldn't help himself, stumbled off the bridge, waved his fist and squeezed into the circle of onlookers, but he could only watch someone with a bloody face being carried out of the cockpit by the ambulances, put on the stretcher and run all the way, the horsetail hanging out of the stretcher kept dripping red, and soon disappeared on the side of the emergency entrance to the island.

In a daze, what else can you do besides being in a daze?

"Sir, you're in the way."

It wasn't until he was reminded by the deck staff around him as a garbage obstacle that Pan Guochen walked to the ship island in a trance, and boarded the commander's bridge where Dongfang Gao was located step by step, but after learning that his speculation came true, he was not excited at all.

"Commissioner Pan, you're fine, are you?"

Dongfang Gao rarely cared about him.

Pan Guochen shook his head and tried to wake up: "It's okay...... By the time this new fleet was discovered, the enemy was less than 100 nautical miles away, and the opposing air raid team must have been on its way. ”

"I have just received a telegram from the commander of the second attack wave: the attack is over, prepare to return home, and witness the hit of 1 or 2 enemy aircraft carriers and 1 battleship......"

Colonel Zhao Zixi, the chief of staff of Dongfang Gao, was afraid that he would forget it as soon as he turned around, and followed Pan Guochen's words and added.

Pan Guochen interrupted him mercilessly: "These are meaningless, the fleet must immediately avoid the north at full speed." ”

"Commissioner Pan, please pay attention to your identity."

Dongfang Gao reminded coldly.

Pan Guochen smacked his lips, lowered his head and tilted his neck: "The problem now is not the identity ......"

"The problem now is to recover the second attack wave as soon as possible, quickly organize a follow-up attack wave, and destroy the newly emerged enemy aircraft carrier task force in one fell swoop."

This time it was Pan Guochen's turn to be interrupted mercilessly by Dongfang Gao.

Pan Guochen was so anxious that he wanted to stomp his feet: "Your Excellency Commander, reality has proved that the judgment of the enemy situation before the war was completely wrong, and the top priority at the moment is not to continue fighting, but to preserve combat strength and wait for the enemy situation to be clear before making a decision." ”

Dongfang Gao sneered: "Let the second attack wave face the desperate situation of falling into the sea, is what you call 'saving combat power'?" Hold the current position, and we will start recovering the second attack wave in an hour. If we retreat at full speed to the north now, there is a good chance that the second attack wave on the return will run out of fuel before it catches up with us, and all of them will crash overboard. ”

Pan Guochen was stunned for a moment: "An hour? Not so fast, right? ”

"The second attack wave was originally scheduled to attack Target No. 1, and the target position determined at the time of departure was 90 nautical miles from the mobile unit. By the time the target actually launched the attack, the target's position was only 80 nautical miles away from the mobile unit, and the air raid team's return speed after dropping mines was generally about 80 knots, so it was speculated that the recovery could begin after one hour. ”

Zhao Zixi explained neatly.

Pan Guochen calculated in his heart, and immediately said disapprerovitically: "If this is the case, then there is no need to worry about the second attack wave falling into the sea, the standard combat radius of the air attack team is that the actual attack distance of the second attack wave is only 80 nautical miles, which is equivalent to leaving a total of 40 nautical miles of round-trip range margin." We could have gone north at full speed first, reaching 40 nautical miles in one and a half hours, and reaching the second attack wave about north of Kirakira. ”

"It's too late, we have already revealed our position many times after half past seven, and assuming that the opposing air strike team takes off at eight o'clock sharp, and the maximum attack distance at takeoff is 100 nautical miles, and now it is almost time to come to the end. Suppose we take off at half past eight and attack at a distance of 90 nautical miles, which is 20 minutes later, counting him for half an hour, how far can we run at this time? Can you still outrun an airplane? “

"The opponent's carrier-based air strike team can completely converge with the mothership pursuing at full speed after the attacker~plane is over, and the saved range is enough to make up for the extra range due to the pursuit of our army...... In the case of a shore-based air strike team, the combat radius itself is greater than that of a carrier-based air attack team, let alone ......."

As soon as Zhao Zixi's words were halfway through, the loudspeaker that went straight to the Guangxun post buzzed: "Report from No. 1 post, report from No. 1 post, news from the lightning lightning, news from the lightning lightning: a few ship shadows were found at 15 degrees in the compass azimuth, the distance is four hundred, has the patrol plane been confirmed?" Please reply to ...... promptly"
