Chapter 637: The Crisis on the Isle of Veil (3)

The area of Weir Island is small, only fifteen square kilometers, and there are many mountains, and in the few flat areas of the island, there is the only airport established by the Chinese Empire on the island. Due to the small size of the airfield, only forty Golden Eagle 4 fighters were deployed here.

Except for the airfield of the Air Force, there is no level land on the island at all, so the soldiers of the Marine Corps live in the tunnels dug in the mountains of the island. Relying on these fortifications, the Marines stationed a regiment of troops, in addition to the lowest level of the tunnel, there is a fresh water filtration system that can provide a small amount of fresh water to the troops.

In the face of the enemy's air force, all the fighters on the island immediately took to the air to meet them, and such a battle was unavoidable, and if they were not taken into the air as soon as possible, once the runway of the airport was destroyed, these planes would become live targets on the ground.

The pilots of the Chinese Navy did not hesitate in the slightest about this confrontation, which was completely not on the same order of magnitude, and they took to the air with great fearlessness and rushed towards the enemy planes, which were far more than ten times larger than their own.

With a resolute will, these pilots flew their fighters, quickly seized the altitude, and launched an active attack on the enemy group. The actions of the pilots of the Chinese Navy took the Boston pilots by surprise, and in their consciousness such a suicidal attack was completely incomprehensible. They simply could not understand how such a small number of Chinese naval aircraft could have such courage to launch an active attack on their own fleet. But the pilots of the Chinese Navy did not give each other time to think, they turned on the afterburners one after another, and rushed into the enemy group at maximum speed.

The onslaught of the Golden Eagle 4 fighter group caused quite a bit of confusion in the Boston group. Taking advantage of the temporary chaos, these Chinese naval pilots bit the slow-moving bombers and torpedo planes and chased after them.

The pilots who flew the Golden Eagle 4 fighters knew very well that the greatest threat to their brothers in the Marine Corps were those bombers with ground attack capabilities, not to mention the fact that the bombers were slow and inflexible in turning, and they were more sure to fight, so the forty naval fighters did not pay any attention to the oncoming enemy fighters, but plunged headlong into the bomber group.

Dense cannon and machine gun fire came and went, and the panicked Boston bomber pilots were like headless flies scurrying around, hastily avoiding the coming of death, but the dreadnought bomber, which had a maximum speed of only 286 kilometers per hour, and the Avenger torpedo plane, which had a speed of 414 kilometers per hour, were the opponents of the Golden Eagle 4 fighters with a speed of 1,047 kilometers per hour.

Equipped with radar rangefinders and new optical sights, the Golden Eagle 4 fighters shot very accurately, and they knocked one dreadnought and Avenger aircraft after another into the dust, making them drag their smoking bodies directly into the sea, but those Pirate fighters chasing behind only had a speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour, and they could not keep up with the speed of the Golden Eagle 4 fighters, which made the air commanders of the Boston Air Force very anxious.

After the Boston fleet lost more than 130 bombers and torpedo planes, as well as a dozen Corsair fighters, the Golden Eagle 4 fighters also lost eleven aircraft, and the most important thing was that the ammunition was finally exhausted at this time.

"Brothers, even if we go back now, we don't have an airport to land, what do you say?" Liu Quan, the leader of the pilot, turned on the communicator and asked for the opinions of the pilots.

One pilot said: "We have no ammunition left, we can't continue the fight. ”

Liu Quan said: "Yes, we have no ammunition, but we still have planes, and we can use planes to knock down enemy planes." ”

"yes, knock them down." As soon as Liu Quangang proposed, all the pilots responded.

"Okay, brothers, for the sake of the motherland, for the sake of victory, rush." Seeing the excitement of the pilots, Liu Quan gave the order to attack, and then he was the first to turn the nose of the plane and crash into a dreadnought bomber that was flying slowly.

At the moment when the nose of the aircraft touched the other party, Liu Quan pressed the button of the ejection seat, the explosive bolt lifted the cockpit canopy, and then the rocket booster shot his seat out of the plane, and at the same time, the Golden Eagle 4 fighter piloted by Liu Quan collided with the hapless dreadnought bomber.

Seeing that Liu Quan was the first to strike, the other pilots also found their targets. In the stunned silence of the Boston pilots, all the Golden Eagle 4 fighters successfully crashed into their targets, only three pilots did not successfully eject and died, and the others successfully broke away and opened their parachutes. And those hapless Boston pilots had no ejection seats, so they didn't have time to jump out of the plane to escape, and they were all turned into char by the huge explosion caused by the plane collision.

In the face of such a heroic Chinese pilot, those Boston pilots could not help but have respect, but they did not have time to sigh, because the task was urgent, and they were not rich in fuel, and after destroying the Chinese naval aircraft, they immediately regrouped and headed in the direction of Weil Island.

Hanging under the parachute and gradually approaching the sea, Liu Quan reached out and unscrewed the inflatable tank switch on the backpack on his chest, and the neatly folded backpack on his chest slowly stretched, turning into an orange-red inflatable rubber boat in just a few seconds. Slowly falling on the sea, Liu Quan took off the strap of the parachute and climbed into the rubber boat.

The other pilots also fell into the water one after another, and several people also opened the rubber boat, and they quickly searched for their nearby comrades, pulled them one by one onto the rubber boat, and everyone leaned together. Liu Quan counted it, and together with those who were shot down earlier, a total of 34 people survived.

"Captain, what do we do now?" One pilot asked.

Liu Quan smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do?" Let's row back, if we can't row back to Veil Island before the arrival of the opposing warships, we will have to be prisoners. ”

After listening to Liu Quan's words, everyone laughed: "Did you hear what the captain said, everyone rowed hard, I didn't expect that our naval aviation would become sailors today." Everyone took turns paddling to conserve their strength and slowly headed towards Vail Island.

One of the pilots laughed: "Normally, this distance in the sky is only a blink of an eye, why is it so slow now." ”

"Boy, be honest with you, save some physical strength, and maybe you can go back before dark." Liu Quan said with a smile.

Another pilot said, "Captain, why don't you send a few assault boats to pick us up?" ”

Liu Quan sighed and said, "Now that the form on the island is estimated to be even more severe, how can they send an assault boat." ”

The pilot said: "When we return to the island, will we also encounter enemy planes, we will suffer a big loss if we don't have planes." ”

Before Liu Quan could speak, the water next to him suddenly rolled up like a boil, and the rubber boat on the side hurriedly dodged it, and after a while, a huge black object surfaced, and the pilots took a closer look and found that it was a Seawolf 3 submarine of the Chinese Empire.

The three hatches in the hull of the boat were opened, and several submariners came out of them and shouted at them: "Brothers, we have come to pick you up, come up quickly." ”

Seeing his own submarine, Liu Quan's heart was hot, he knew that in the war zone, it was very dangerous for the submarine to float during the day, and the submariners were risking their lives to rescue them. Soon two more Seawolf 3 submarines surfaced, bringing the pilots back into the submarine. The Seawolf 3 submarine, which had completed its mission, quickly dived, and after a few minutes, there was no suspicious trace on the surface except for a few empty inflatable lifeboats.

"Hello, Colonel, I'm Liu Yujie, the captain of the No. 1085 submarine." Liu Yujie smiled and stretched out his hand to Liu Quan.

Liu Quan also stretched out his hand and shook Liu Yujie and said, "Hello Colonel Liu Yujie, thank you very much for your assistance to us, I am really sorry that you have taken such a big risk." ”

Liu Yujie shook his head and said, "It's nothing, but I watched your air battles the whole time, and compared to your heroic behavior, we didn't do anything great." ”

Liu Quan shook his hand and said, "Don't dare, we have to thank you for saving your lives, otherwise we might be prisoners." ”

Liu Yujie said with a smile: "Forget it, it's all a family, you don't need to thank you, you can rest here, it's up to us to fight below." ”

Liu Quan looked around and said, "Captain Liu, do you have a lot of submarines here?" ”

Liu Yujie was stunned when he heard Liu Quan's words, and Liu Quan then said: "If it is a military secret, you can not answer, I understand this rule." ”

Liu Yujie knew that he had misunderstood himself, and then laughed and said: "You are all on the submarine, what are the military secrets, we have indeed come a lot, all the submarines in the Eastern Ocean have come, and even the ones in the Storm Ocean have been transferred back to a third." ”

Liu Quan said strangely: "The enemy fleet is not far away, why don't you attack." ”

Liu Yujie said: "We are afraid of startling the grass and snakes, and we want to do a big one, so we must wait for the arrival of the main fleet and then ......" Liu Yujie did not continue, but made a posture of embracing his hands.

"Annihilation." Liu Quan gasped, as a colonel officer, he has the right to know the size of the enemy fleet, such a huge fleet actually wants to be annihilated, the appetite of the top echelons of the navy is really good, and he is not afraid of indigestion.

Liu Quan was shocked by the appetite of the navy's top brass, but then his expression was gloomy: "Although the plan is very good, it has suffered the Marine brothers who are guarding the island." ”

Liu Yujie also sighed: "Yes, I have suffered the officers and soldiers of Weil Island, but for the sake of victory, I believe they will be able to persevere." ”

At this time, Weil Island had just withstood the first round of bombing by Boston carrier-based aircraft, but fortunately, half of the bombers and torpedo planes were shot down by the air force, so the damage from this bombing was not large, only the airfield and docks were partially damaged, but the second wave of attacks that arrived later was much more violent.
