At about 10 o'clock, the flagship of the mobile force "Yunpeng", behind the commander's bridge, in the chart room. \“…… The land attack team of the three ships should be at this position now, there are still two and a half hours to sail from the target area, we can send out the first attack wave in half an hour, and we can reach the target area within an hour, it seems that we will not be able to catch up with the coordinated attack. ”

Colonel Wang Zilong, the former chief of staff who is currently serving as the chief staff officer of Lieutenant General Bi Lingbo, held a ruler in his hand and made a comparison on a chart two meters square.

Intelligence staff officer Jiang Ye followed and spoke: "There is no need to wait for the land attack team, the enemy's reconnaissance plane discovered us one step earlier, the air attack team is probably already on the way, the number of fighters available to us is limited, should we give priority to the attack team escort, or do we make every effort to stabilize the air defense of the mother ship?" This issue must be addressed immediately. ”

"What do you think?" Bi Lingbo, who was holding his arms and pondering on the side, immediately threw the question back.

Jiang Ye didn't think about it, he stretched out his hand and clicked on the red "X" on the chart indicating the position of the enemy's advance guard: "The first priority at present is naturally to try our best to destroy the enemy's only two aircraft carriers, and for this reason, we should increase the strength of the attack team as much as possible." ”

"That's not right." Wang Zi Long objected in a crepe manner.

"Go on." Bi Lingbo encouraged that although he deprived Liang Shuming of his command and put him in custody in accordance with Commander Sa's order, he was courteous to Liang Shuming's staff team, which was not mentioned in the order, after all, his staff team of the commander of the battle team could not be compared with the commander of the fleet in terms of quantity and quality.

"These days, the enemy fleet has been sailing close to the coast, obviously just to get the cover of shore-based aviation, and in yesterday's battle, the enemy's shore-based aviation also caused us a lot of trouble, and I think that even if this sortie can really destroy the remaining aircraft carriers of the other side in one fell swoop, the threat of the enemy's shore-based aviation is still there, and we have to keep a sufficient number of fighters to deal with it - both to protect ourselves. In order to protect the main forces behind us, we can't let the other side discover our main forces first. ”

Bi Lingbo nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes swept to the side: "Well said, Jiang Ye, you heard it all—learn a little." ”

Jiang Ye nodded as if a chicken pecked rice, and counted with his fingers: "In this case, the first attack wave is 91 ships and 12 ships." Keeping 27 warships as frigates, and 3 ships under repair as backups - is that okay? ”

"So be it...... Staff Officer Li, you should draw up an aircrew plan according to this, and report to all ships before the first attack wave takes off."

Bi Lingbo nodded in agreement, turned around and couldn't help but say to himself with his back hand: "It's the first attack wave." How many of them will come back...... "Tracer bullet marks swept from the tail to the nose of the plane, and the target, a single "Cuckoo" reconnaissance plane, dragged black smoke and twisted and scattered...... Less than a quarter of an hour after taking off from the "Yunpeng", Cai Guolan completed her 16th crash with ease. It was her fifth win in two days.

Thanks to Jiang Ye's intercession, the doctor finally let her go, and reluctantly allowed her to fly the plane, but it was specially stipulated that every time she completed a sortie, she must return to the hospital for examination and rest for at least three hours.

"As long as you can go to heaven. Everything is up to the doctor. ”

Cai Guolan, who rarely put on a good girl's appearance, finally passed the test, hastily nibbled a loaf of bread and changed into a flight suit and went straight to the standby room, and was told that the other three survivors in her squadron were scattered and landed on the other two motherships last night, and for the time being, she could only be assigned to the temporary 1st squadron with Captain Dongfang Ming, the first ace of the HNA, as the squadron leader, and was limited to performing fleet escort tasks.

"It doesn't matter if the squadron leader or anything. Just give me a working plane. ”

After opening his mouth in such a high profile, Cai Guolan was assigned a "Haiyun Electric" with a freshly repaired fuselage and a fresh paint smell.

"Captain Cai, I'm really sorry, I played too smoothly yesterday, I really can't help it, I accidentally broke through the 20 mark, and the gap between us has widened. That's not good. The pressure is reduced, and the power is ......"

In the face of Dongfang Ming's disgusting boasting. Cai Guolan didn't say a word, and she didn't bother to argue with him - on the one hand, there was really nothing to fight, on the other hand, her mind was really blank, and she couldn't remember the vicious words she was good at at at all.

"Are the sequelae of a concussion ......?"

Muttering uneasily, Cai Guolan looked around and saw that the long plane piloted by Dongfang Ming in front of him was shaking its wings rapidly, and wanted to follow him, so he lowered the nose of the plane and followed, passing through the thin clouds at once, and returning to the sky above the wheel-shaped array composed of 30 ships of the mobile force.

Dongfang Ming, who flew parallel to Cai Guolan, gestured to her and asked her to pay attention to the location of the three motherships.

The three ships "Yunpeng", "Golden Falcon", and "Saker", which were lined up with planes on most of the deck, were rushing forward against the southwest wind and waves, and the bright take-off flags were floating on the top of the mast.

"The air raid team has set off, I don't know if Qi Bing is in it......"

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Cai Guolan found a discordant black shadow around the thirty snow-white ship tracks of different sizes, could it be - submarine!

There was no time to ask the long plane for instructions, Cai Guolan slammed the rod, and a dive fell sharply, until the height of two hundred meters was slightly pulled up, and now it was seen more clearly: really cut a periscope protruding from the sea surface, and a small part of the hull exposed from time to time from the trough under it, from the faint wake of the periscope, its course is just diagonally crossed by the front extension of the "Yunpeng" route!

The "Haiyun Electric" that carried out the air supremacy task naturally did not bring ****, if he attacked rashly, the other party dived, and he had no way, and he must remind the escort ships around the mother ship as soon as possible, and the ship is not equipped with a radio in the battle with a limited load, and the only rudimentary means of communication for the ship is to use a signal gun to launch a colored signal flare - thinking of this, Cai Guolan touched the lower side of the seat under the conditional launch, and calmly pulled out the signal gun fixed on the belt, found the nearest destroyer, and pulled the trigger......

No response - blind?

Buckle again - the four-tube one-zero signal **** can send four rounds in a row, however, after a second or two, nothing happens.

It won't be ...... The distraught Cai Guolan hurriedly checked the chamber of the gun, only to find that the back of the four barrels was empty, it seemed that the original owner of the flight had used up all the signal flares in yesterday's battle, and the ground crew, who was busy and dizzy, forgot to check this seemingly inconspicuous gadget.

There's no way, those fool destroyers, why haven't they found this guy yet, no, they must be before the other side launches a torpedo......
