Chapter 22: Preparing to Run
Looking up, more than a dozen purple-black planes that were also triangular flew down from the sky, and the dense anti-aircraft fire immediately rang out, and several were shot down immediately. or fall into the sea with black smoke, or explode directly in the air, or fall into the air and disintegrate. Bombs were dropped sporadically but none of them hit, and at the same time, torpedo planes on the sea were shot down one after another.
The first wave of air raids passed with such ease and pleasure.
"Watch out! It's likely to be a test, keeping the power running at full capacity and ready for maximum horsepower output. Instead of being happy, Xu Zhonglin became more nervous, and the textbook said that the deep sea Qi Ji often used such suicide attacks to test the density of firepower.
But the shame is that until nightfall, the legendary large-scale air raid still did not come, and the first day passed so miraculously and peacefully.
Late at night, the three of them gathered in front of the sand table on the bridge, and Xu Zhonglin looked solemn: "Have you asked clearly?" ”
"Ask clearly, the ten teams are basically the same, covering five kilometers inland along the coastline, and tomorrow's mission is also there, covering five kilometers inward."
"Where's the damage effect?" This is more painful, Sissi and Teresa do not have reconnaissance planes, so they can only inquire from others.
"The Cape Town with the Golden Tooth said the damage was mediocre. A lot of target 150-level guns simply can't hit. ”
At this time, Xu Zhonglin became vigilant: "There is a problem!" ”
"Yes."
"What to do? Shall we withdraw? Teresa felt it too.
Xu Zhonglin shook his head, the warning that Suffolk told him at the beginning was definitely not untargeted, if he retreated at this time, he would definitely be hunted down. There are a lot of admirals in this world who have been transferred to serve as bounties. I believe that the bearded Carlos will definitely offer him an attractive bounty price, and there will be no peace.
"Where is Qi Ji?"
"To the north, about twelve kilometers or so within the coastline."
"Are there any acquaintances over there?"
"Butter is cleaning up over there, and Black Widow is nearby."
"What about the two shallow water heavy gunboats?"
"Over there, too."
"That's not right! It's not right either! Two ships are not a threat at all! Where is Carlos' main fleet? ”
"I heard that we are on the southwest line to prevent the support of the deep-sea fleet in the south."
"Is there any news from the Cape Verdean Governor's Office?"
Sissi shook her head: "I asked Minas, and Lilia said no, it's been almost ten days since she lost contact over there." His Excellency Admiral Bamond had sent a fast fleet of light aircraft carriers to reconnoitre, and the news would arrive as soon as three days later. ”
"Is there anyone you know from the landing fleet?"
"No, Rena said, the landing fleet is Admiral Campbell's, Admiral Campbell is very famous, he has a total of more than seventy ships, most of them are landing ships, and he usually helps other admirals attack the town guard mansion for a living."
"He's all alone?"
"Yes."
After asking and answering, there was already a lot of information, and Xu Zhonglin let out a sigh of relief: "Then the asking price of this Admiral Campbell must be very high." ”
Sissi was stunned for three seconds before replying, "Yes." I heard that the cost of one of his sorties was enough to build a brand new battleship hull. ”
Xu Zhonglin threw the pen in his hand on the table: "The bearded Carlos has no money, and he may have lost a lot of money in business, and he is anxious to find a place to make up for it. He couldn't get the money in the quickest way. So what to do? ”
"Lead the snake out of the hole!" Teresa also understood what Xu Zhonglin was trying to express.
"Yes, if the fish doesn't take the bait, you have to cast the bait. This bait can't be too small, it can't be too big, too small the deep sea will not pay attention to it, too big the deep sea fleet will come too much, and he can't eat it. So how big should this bait be? ”
Sissi said angrily: "The entire artillery formation and air defense formation should be enough!" ”
"Yes, a hundred ships, most of them cruisers, but even a hundred pigs, it will be a bit of trouble to kill. Speculating like this, the size of the deep-sea fleet is about 10 capital ships, 10 heavy cruisers, plus some escorts, and the joint Qiji here is about the same. ”
"So we're just sitting still? If we don't publish this news, there will definitely be people who can't help but escape, and then we will take the opportunity to leave without attracting attention. ”
Xu Zhonglin shook his head: "Now these are just speculations. Not for sure. ”
There were some things he didn't say, even if they were sure, and he couldn't spread the news. Carlos must have used a lot of energy and resources for this plan, and whoever sabotaged his plan was his most hated enemy. Even spreading the word will not work, there is no impermeable wall in the world. Xu Zhonglin didn't think that under the threat of death, someone would be righteous and keep his secret. So on the basis of not destroying Carlos's plan, try to survive yourself.
"How can you be sure?"
"Look at the number and proportion of capital ships on the side of the main fleet. If there are about twenty capital ships, and there are a lot of carriers, it is certain that our speculation is true. Xu Zhonglin estimated that attacking such a small place, generally six capital ships would be enough to fight quickly, and the excess part must have other intentions.
"With so many capital ships, does Carlos have so many interests to sell?"
"Carlos himself has about eight capital ships, plus Campbell, and then find someone with similar strength to him can complete it, Campbell must have a relatively small score, and the rest will be evenly divided, it is likely that the person who cooperates with Carlos is his accomplice, this guy has been committing crimes for so many years, it is impossible for him to act alone, someone must cooperate with him."
Sissi wanted to cry a little without tears: "It's a pity that we don't have a reconnaissance plane. ”
"Yes! So we're looking for someone to work with. ”
"Looking for whom?"
"It depends on which of the two landing fields has our acquaintances."
Teresa looked it up and said the answer: "Black widow!" ”
Sissi somewhat understood: "Is the Admiral planning for us to rush to the beach, and then put the hull into subspace, hide and wait for the storm to pass?" ”
There are many restrictions on the hull to be retracted into subspace, not only to have a stable environment, but also to take a certain amount of time.
"yes, we're too weak to sabotage his plans. So I can only try to live, stay here, and report back in the future. ”
The next morning, when the new shelling mission began, Xu Zhonglin found the golden tooth: Big brother, you see, my two ships are so broken, the artillery is old-fashioned, and the firing range is not enough at all, and it can't hit that far. How about you see me change places? I think the landing ground to the north is better, so I want to come over and ask you to let me go.
Golden Tooth showed a lewd smile, looking at the name of the heirloom, he was very happy to let go, and when he said goodbye, he also told him earnestly: Brother, don't be deceived by the appearance of the black widow, these are all disguises, this thing looks coquettish, but it is actually difficult to get started, and I haven't heard of anyone who has really slept with her for so many years.
Of course, Xu Zhonglin wants to flatter: Big brother, you are so handsome and dashing, graceful, and radiant with golden teeth, why don't you go up?
The Golden Tooth's answer was sad: I can't beat it!
