With the calm order of Colonel Cai Yong, commander of the first attack wave, in the wireless communication network, the huge group of aircraft was divided into two, Cai Yong personally led a team of guide planes, a naval attack and six ship battles to pounce on the left flank of the enemy formation, and Colonel Situ Qi led a B team composed of 1 guide plane, 38 ship attack planes and 6 ship battles to the right flank of the enemy formation. [Looking for the latest chapter?] On it]

At this time, as many as 43 fighters hovered over the enemy's position to serve as escorts, of which the main combat strength was one "Seal Cub" single-seat fighter and another "Dujuan" two-seat attack plane carrying low-altitude patrol and antisubmarine missions.

At the same time, the aircraft carriers "Brilliant" and "Oceanic", which survived yesterday's battle, also quickly drove the entire formation to turn to the windward course, releasing the last available "Seal Cub" fighter on the deck, and then together with the surrounding nine ships, they continued to burst smoke from 3-inch and 4-inch caliber anti-aircraft shells and densely fill the entire sky.

Although the Chinese army's one "Haiyun Electric" was not enough to fight all 33 "Seal Cubs," relying on the dual advantages of airframe performance and pilot quality, it still tore open an air passage that was not absolutely safe for each of the two attack detachments A and B that followed, and then fell into a struggle with fewer enemies and more enemies. [Read the text version, please go up]

After passing through the passage opened by the fighters at the cost of losing three to five planes each, the two attack detachments had to face a "fair" challenge from the lightly armed "Cuckoos" before entering the hostile air fire circle: The "Cuckoos" in groups of three or more planes were constantly approaching the "Golden Eagle" group from the side, and when they were about to enter the range of rearseat machine gun fire, they suddenly turned to a position parallel to the same direction as a certain plane on the periphery of the group, and the rearblock machine guns fired fiercely, and immediately adjusted their positions after hitting one plane, and then jointly attacked the next plane.

The crew members of the "Golden Eagle," who were unwilling to be shackled, also counterattacked one after another with their backseat machine guns. Tracer bullet marks are staggered, and every minute, ignited or uncontrolled planes crash into the swaying sea in various attitudes.

Many "Golden Eagle" crews were angered by the provocation of the "cuckoo": "There is no reason, what kind of world, rabbits also come to fill tigers!" ”

Therefore, there were not a few people who broke away from the group and started a one-on-one duel with the "Cuckoo", and Cai Yong and Situ Qi had to shout their throats on the radio, and finally recalled most of the crew members who switched to air combat. \

After a chaotic battle, the two attack detachments finally rushed into the enemy's air defense fire circle at the cost of losing or losing 19 mine-borne attack planes. Learning the lessons of yesterday's battle, Cai Yong immediately ordered the detachments to disperse in small teams. Approach the target with a zigzag evasion maneuver.

And the anti-aircraft gunners of the Allied Army seem to have learned a little from yesterday's battle, the smoke of the airburst shells seems to be slightly more accurate and dense, the accuracy of the machine guns and machine guns seems to have improved slightly, or the "golden eagles" of three planes are thrillingly passing through the dense smoke and bullet marks intertwined like spider webs, and there are constantly uncontrollable planes spinning and shattering in the middle, and a wisp of black smoke rushes through the sea waves, and a flash of light explodes in the air......

The sacrifice was not meaningless, sweeping over the masttops, chimneys, turrets, and even the bow and stern decks of one ship after another from the outside to the inside. In just a few minutes, more than 50 Chinese attack planes that approached to a distance of 500 meters dropped heavy torpedoes on the two sides of the two British aircraft carriers that were running wildly at a speed of four knots. Then it whistled past the flight decks of the two aircraft carriers, accelerated its climb briskly, rushed through the other end of the wheel array into the clouds, or trembled, burned, and scattered into the sea—most of the aircraft destroyed by cannon and machine-gun fire were lost within a minute or two of the mine, when they flew lowest and were closest to their targets. And just right in the most effective range of fire of a large number of maneuverable automatic guns.

“…… After the attack, the results were visually confirmed as follows: target A, the enemy's new aircraft carrier - 3 water columns on the port side, 1 on the starboard side; Target B, enemy Cyclops aircraft carrier, 1 water column on the port side; 1 new destroyer outside the target, 1 water column on the port side...... Inventory after loss capacity. The whole team is returning home. ”

It was nearly noon. After listening to the message that Jiang Yezhan read, Bi Lingbo swallowed the last sandwich in his hand. Pick up the flat-bottomed coffee cup with a red glaze on the chart table and drink the remaining warm liquid from the cup.

"There's no news from Yuan Feng yet?"

"Nope."

Bi Lingbo took the napkin handed by Jiang Ye, and glanced at the chart while wiping his hands: "It's time to meet, the weather is not bad...... Could it be that we beat him like this and scared him away? ”

"Do you want to send another ......?"

As soon as Jiang Ye started to speak, a young male voice pretending to be calm suddenly sounded in the transmission tube: "An unknown large group of aircraft was found in the direction of 4 o'clock!" The number is 6 to 7, and the two teams are close to the middle ...... in high and low altitudes."

"Here we are."

The two looked at each other and nodded, and Bi Lingbo immediately decisively ordered:

"Send a signal, indicate the target to the standby fighters in the air, the whole team turns to the wind, and each mothership takes off all deck standby fighters!"

"It would be nice if there was also the D-unit that the Roc tried to install......"

Chief Staff Officer Wang Zilong sighed with regret.

"Does that thing really work?" Bi Lingbo pursed his lips and questioned.

Wang Zilong smiled slightly bitterly: "Although most of the time since the voyage has been tested and repaired, and there is a failure after almost two or three hours of continuous operation, but yesterday I saw it with my own eyes, and it detected the enemy aircraft that the lookout post could not see in advance, so that we had enough time to dispatch fighters to intercept it." If we can continue to test and improve the performance, we will ...... one day."

"Listening to you say that, it's really an unreliable thing." Bi Lingbo interrupted coldly, and walked to the hatch with his back hand, "I'm going to go up there to see the battle situation, and this ship will ask Captain Huang to take full responsibility, and the others will stay at their posts and wait for new orders-above." ”
