In the West Sea, the flagship of the mobile fleet "Dapeng".

"Enemy aircraft 3 in front of port side are approaching!"

"Port 120 guns fire!"

"Port 37 anti-aircraft guns fire!"

"Enemy aircraft 3 in front of starboard are approaching!"

"Starboard 120 guns fire!"

……

"The enemy aircraft on the port side entered the lightning strike course!"

"Enemy aircraft on the port side drop mines!!"

"Starboard enemy aircraft enters the lightning strike course!"

……

"1 shot of a torpedo on the port side is close! All the staff hurry up and lie down! ”

"Thunder in the middle of !!"

……

"It's good that it's a drill."

In the air defense command post on the top of the island, Lieutenant General Bi Lingbo, commander of the First Air Brigade, nodded with satisfaction as he looked into the distance, "The closed training for more than a month is still very effective." ”

"It's not enough, the effectiveness of the new equipment shouldn't have been fully exerted, we have to dig deep and squeeze out the last horsepower." The admiral who responded to Bi Lingbo wore the Order of the Blue Dragon of the second class on his chest, and it was Liang Shuming, the commander of the mobile fleet who had just been promoted.

"Yes......" Bi Lingbo replied very crisply.

"What, have something to say?"

Bi Lingbo hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Commander, this continuous rotation day and night, the officers and soldiers are very tired, isn't it ......?"

Liang Shuming smacked his lips, took a step forward to hold on to the guardrail, shook his head and said, "Brother Bi, it's not that I don't know how to sympathize with my subordinates, but now is a very moment, a very moment, everything can't be seen from an ordinary perspective." In front, I gambled on the big war of the national fortune, and now if I don't train hard, once the war starts, it will not just be a matter of exhausting people......"

"But the current training intensity has far exceeded ......"

Liang Shuming raised his hand without discussion and said, "Okay, this topic ends here." ”

After saying that, he turned around. patted Bi Lingbo on the shoulder: "Your original specialty is lightning strike, how did you think of changing careers?" ”

Bi Lingbo raised his head and opened his eyes wide: "Because...... I agree with your HNA winning theory! ”

Liang Shuming nodded vigorously: "Yes, you also think that those capital ships that spend a lot of money and look like they are dancing with teeth and claws, but they will be easily destroyed by a few torpedoes sooner or later." ”

Bi Lingbo did not nod obediently: "That being said, the performance of the existing carrier-based aircraft ......"

"At Pearl Harbor and Port Kiel, torpedoes dropped by carrier-based aircraft were able to sink enemy ships, that is, there were no problems with torpedoes. The key lies in the aircraft's capture of the target – which is largely achieved by a well-trained pilot. Therefore, as long as we increase the intensity of training, train an elite air attack force, supplemented by correct tactics, it is not a problem to destroy targets on the ground during navigation, as the Typhoon operation and the exercise just now proved this point! ”

"The success of Pearl Harbor and Port Kiel was largely due to the suddenness of the attacks, the lack of basic vigilance in the well-protected military ports, and the inadequate anti-aircraft and damage control of the ships. It was precisely because of the shock of Pearl Harbor and Kiel that it would have been very difficult to carry out similar raids in the future. The chances of success are slim. Once a sneak attack becomes impossible, future battles will erupt between two fleets that are constantly maneuvering. Judging from our expected adversary, first, the enemy also has aircraft carrier mobile units that have been tested in actual combat, and second, enemy ships heading for the theater will inevitably increase their vigilance to the maximum and make the most thorough air defense and damage management preparations. ”

Bi Lingbo paused, and continued in an aggravated tone: "In this way, once we engage, it will be difficult for us to avoid being discovered by enemy aircraft, and we may even be attacked by the enemy's preemptive strike. Even if we can attack before the enemy, it will be difficult for the attack aircraft group to avoid the interception of the enemy fighters, after this layer of interception. There was also a network of anti-aircraft artillery fire waiting in the back. Judging from the fact that the US military used a wheel-shaped formation in the Typhoon operation, the British Navy must have mastered this most practical air defense formation, and in addition, judging from the air defense performance of the British ** ship in the Lingayen naval battle, even those new torpedo planes just now. Forcing a breakthrough of the air defense ring of the Grand Fleet will inevitably pay a heavy price. The torpedoes dropped by the surviving planes were far from being able to reach the hit rate of the Pearl Harbor operation under the maneuvering evasion of the enemy ships, and this is exactly what the Typhoon operation and the exercise just now proved! Even if it's a hit. As mentioned earlier, the damage management during the battle was well prepared, and the damage to the enemy ships was far from the extent of Pearl Harbor. In the last case, if the mobile forces launch a counterattack, we may also suffer losses, and even if we are lucky enough to avoid losses, the scheduled 2nd and 3rd waves of attacks will be disrupted, and we may have to withdraw from the battlefield because the losses in aviation forces are too great! ”

Liang Shuming listened patiently and frowned unhappily: "This is a strong defeatist mood." ”

"Xia Guan just hopes to objectively assess the opponent's ......"

"You are not an absolutely neutral, god-like existence, you are a member of the Imperial Navy, you naturally have to look at the problem from the subjective perspective of the Imperial Navy, objective and objective, are you a guest? Which kind of guest? ”

"Commander ......"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then tell me, why do we have to hide in this place where birds don't?" The more Liang Shuming spoke, the more excited he became, and he seemed a little angry, and the surrounding soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and they avoided the gangway one after another.

Bi Lingbo gritted his teeth, straightened his neck and replied: "Yes, the lower officer believes that in the upcoming showdown, our basic task should be to destroy the enemy's aircraft carrier mobile forces, master the air supremacy on the battlefield, and provide air defense shields and unilateral long-range reconnaissance advantages for the main forces. On the premise of ensuring the completion of basic tasks, other tasks such as disrupting the enemy's main forces should be considered. ”

Liang Shuming frowned: "In other words, we are not qualified to play a decisive role!" ”

"The subordinate thinks that the commander's theory is not incorrect, but it is too advanced, and when the performance of our carrier-based aircraft is doubled, it may be ......."

"That's going to have to wait until the Year of the Monkey! The decisive battle is just around the corner, this is the best opportunity to brush down the decay of those people who believe in the cannons of giant ships in one go, and let our aviation faction dominate the overall situation of the navy, which is also what you want, right? ”

"Commander, I do hope that the adherents of aviation theory will dominate the navy, but I don't think that the current situation has reached the point where the navy will take care of everything, please don't forget that the base camp was launched at the beginning on the premise that the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor might fail!"
