Chapter XX: Decisions
"Nelson! A group of deep-sea fighters was spotted about forty kilometers to the northeast! On the way north, Kaga reported another piece of bad news to Nelson. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is it surrounded?" Even Nelson, who was not personally controlling the plane, understood that the other party was about to fully grasp their movements, and it was estimated that he had barely seen them specifically.
"Flagship! The fighters patrolling the attack spot spotted the high-speed moving deep-sea man, who was now heading northwest and was expected to be able to reach our rear soon! "Akagi also received a lot of bad news at this time.
Nelson's face was dark, thinking about how to solve the problem, while the rest of the shipwrewn were also trying to think about how to break through the other party's encirclement.
They are now continuing to head north, and there is a high probability that they will be touched by the deep-sea fighters. To the west, it is possible to be discovered by the deep-sea fighters that have intercepted it, and in the northwest, it will be caught up by the deep-sea sooner or later, and the south and east are even more self-defeating.
What to do? Nelson now only felt that those groups of deep-sea fighters were very hateful, and all their actions were basically restricted.
"Nelson, now we're going to take the initiative to make a breakthrough!" Akagi broke the silence, "We need to counter the enemy, we can't just want to protect the Admiral. ”
Nelson was reminded by Akagi that protecting the Admiral was the first task, but there was no need to control his hands and feet, so he asked, "Akagi Kaga, how many carrier-based aircraft do you have?" ”
"Eighteen Shocks, eleven Gale, and sixty-four BTD-1 Destroyer bombers." This is Kaga's current carrier-based aircraft and the number of aircraft, counting the one Gale that was destroyed before, there are a total of ninety-three aircraft fully loaded.
"Eighteen Sea Fangs, ten Sea Spitfire MKXVs, and forty-five BTD-1 Destroyer bombers" Akagi had twenty-one fewer aircraft than Kaga's.
"Not counting the ten fighters that are still cruising and the eight fighters that were sent out by the two of us to reconnoitre, there are still 39 fighters and 109 bombers that we can still use." Kaga summed up the air power that the two of them could call on at the moment.
"If you were to attack the deep sea that was chasing us, what would be the success rate?" Nelson was startled at this point.
After thinking about it carefully, Akagi replied cautiously: "I don't know, we don't know each other, and now we only know that the other party is an aircraft carrier-type deep sea that can move at high speed and release fighters in an instant." ”
Hearing this, Nelson took a deep breath: "This is not the way to go, we must be separated next." ”
"Divide the troops at such a time? It's better to concentrate your efforts. At this time, North Carolina also interjected.
"No, it's because of the Admiral that we're tied up and can't exert our corresponding strength." Nelson was well aware of the situation.
When everyone heard this, they were silent.
The silence of the crowd did not make Nelson hesitate in the slightest, and after careful consideration, she decisively ordered: "North Carolina and South Dakota are responsible for protecting the Admiral and advancing to the northwest, with North Carolina as the commander of the detachment. As for Akagi, Kaga, Colorado, and I are pushing east. Keep in touch with each other by telegraph. ”
"In that case, sister, don't you take the initiative to go to the deep sea!" South Dakota said incredulously.
"It's tactics! South Dakota, you just have to do what you order. "Nelson only had the style of a general at this time, forcing South Dakota to obey orders.
"Without further ado, North Carolina and South Dakota you must take orders from the flagship! If you hesitate any longer, you will be discovered by deep-sea fighters together! "Colorado, as their eldest sister, is not allowed to hesitate at this time.
"But......" When South Dakota was about to say something, he was interrupted by North Carolina: "In that case, we just need to accept the order, South Dakota, you have to remember that we are ship mothers!" ”
Looking at Nelson's gaze and the attitudes of the other four shipwives, South Dakota didn't dare to say anything more, gathered with North Carolina, and then headed northwest.
"Remember to use the highest speed, don't think about saving fuel! Break through as soon as possible! Colorado's voice came from behind, causing South Dakota to glance back.
Watching North Carolina and South Dakota work together to protect the Admiral farther and farther to the northwest, Nelson suddenly remembered something: "Akagi Kaga, you send twenty fighters to protect them, remember to ask for the best one." ”
"Understood." Kaga and Akagi responded together.
"Now let's go, Nelson." Colorado stopped looking at South Dako's distant figures, but turned back to Nelson.
"You must know that our current mission is to act as a decoy so that they can break out, so there is no need to cover up your whereabouts in the future." Nelson didn't rush to set off, but explained the situation to the three ship's mothers, "Since there is no need to cover up the operation, then Akagi Kaga, you should now transfer back the fighters sent out." ”
"Don't you even have a few reconnaissance planes left?" Kaga was a little skeptical.
"No, we will definitely encounter enemy planes if we go east anyway. Rather than sending out scouts, it would be better to stay and make sure that our next move is smooth. Nelson's idea was to fight all the way from the east with the air protection of fighter jets.
"That's right, we are now breaking through to the east, and we don't need to show mercy to the deep-sea fighters we encounter, and all of them will be destroyed, so that the other side can believe that we are fighting back." Nelson said resolutely.
"Nelson, don't do that! At the very least, let the fighter who has detected the deep sea of the aircraft carrier type continue to track her movements, and the other fighters are indifferent. Frightened by Nelson's statement, Kaga hurriedly said.
"I'm sorry, I'm meddling in your area of expertise again." Nelson, on the other hand, recalls his rookie performance in aviation tactics.
"You continue to command the fighters, and leave me alone." Nelson blushed and said in shame.
"We're a team, Nelson, and you're just trying to offer you an idea." Akagi was generous enough to relieve Nelson.
"Haha, Nelson, you're thinking too much about it again, you should have read more books about air combat instead of just shooting targets there." Colorado said to Nelson pretending to understand.
"You have to take care of it! Big mule! ”
"Hehe, Nalthor!"
……
Nelson and Colorado are mocking each other, while Kaga and Akagi are secretly telephoning each other.
After chatting secretly for a while, it was decided that Kaga would make this suggestion, so Kaga interrupted the "hot" Nelson and Colorado who were chatting and said, "Flagship, I have an idea. ”
