But even during this period, the bomber formations followed in the footsteps of the Japanese assault formations throughout, and even one squad deliberately lowered the altitude to bear the alert mission in case the fighters on the aircraft carrier suddenly took off - even if they were only a small number of Zeros.

In fact, the reason why this bomber formation followed the fleet fearlessly was not only because of the level of science and technology that was 60 years ahead, but also because most of the bombers on the deck of the aircraft carrier were not fighters, but bombers, Type 99 dive bombers.

Imperial Air Force formation, inside the cabin of the "Wild Eagle".

Bao Hui smiled slightly and took off his military hat: "It looks more optimistic than I expected." ”

The adjutant was silent. Wang Hunjia said expressionlessly: "Not everyone is the same as you. Like I said, we are not afraid of death, but we are afraid of dying meaninglessly. ”

"You're saying that too soon." Bao Hui smiled coldly, "Then, the crew of the eighty-three planes agreed to continue the mission, and the other one hundred and ninety-nine planes plan to follow you." ”

He stood up, put on his military cap, and adjusted his uniform again: "This plane will be handed over to you." I can skydive. ”

But Wang Hunjia stepped forward and stopped him.

Bao Hui's face sank: "What?" ”

Wang Hunjia smiled: "You can't go." ”

He looked at the adjutant again, who was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Bao Hui lowered his face: "You still plan to tie me up to you?" Wang Hunjia, you don't-"

However, the lieutenant colonel interrupted him: "Let's go with you." ”

He looked into Bao Hui's eyes: "I'm just looking for a glimmer of life for those brothers." But like you said, I also consider myself a real soldier – and I'm more of an officer. You are our commander. Wherever you go, we follow. If it's really like you said, we flew out of the last day...... I take all the responsibility. ”

Bao Hui looked at him in a daze, and after a long while, he let out a sigh: "Why are you ...... doing this?"

But Wang Hunjia has already issued his own orders through the communicator-

"Lieutenant Colonel Du Jinming, now it's up to you to take over as the commander of the first formation."

"Remember, no matter where you go in the future - we are the Chinese Air Force. The slogan of our army is, advance again! ”

Then he turned off the communicator and stuffed his gun into Bao Hui's hand: "Now you have 84 planes." ”

A difficult half an hour on the formation. For those on the surface of the ship, the half-hour was equally difficult.

Nagumo Tadaichi has experienced many extremely difficult situations in his life, but none of them have made him so uneasy as he is now.

Even a battle - a vigorous battle is better than the current situation. A huge formation of more than 200 bombers has been flying over the fleet. And before that, they had confirmed. That's a Chinese plane.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, he feels quite powerless - although it is not clear why the other party has not launched an attack for the time being, but the great threat is really entrenched in the head of the fleet.

The fleet has changed its formation to a box formation - one of the most effective defensive formations of bomber formations. He had no doubt that the massive fuselage must also have hidden chilling defensive firepower, and it was almost impossible for carrier-based fighters to break up its formation.

Not to mention. He didn't even know before all the carrier-based aircraft left the ship. Whether this flagship of his own can still float on the sea.

A dark cloud of hesitation and apprehension hung in his heart. Until five minutes later.

A message came from the mainland -- the "Climbing New Heights" operation was intercepted by the US military, a large number of US planes were taking off at Pearl Harbor, and the US Navy battleships had sailed out of the military port. Three more aircraft carriers are converging with it.

The other side may be bluffing - they do not know where their fleet is at the moment. Now that it is about to fall into the night, it is impossible for the American planes to make a long-distance attack at such a time, and it is more a symbolic sign that they are ready to fight back.

As soon as Nagumo Zhong put down the phone, he looked at the blood-like burning clouds in the distance-

Sunset.

He knew that he would never hear the message that meant the sneak attack was successful—

"Tiger, tiger, tiger!"

So on the shimmering expanse of the ocean, Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi of the Imperial Japanese Navy saw the most brilliant fireworks in his life—the light and heat were like the sun, and the fiery enthusiasm made him unable to refuse.

Two minutes after the sixth "Zero" fighter took off, three "Bee Sting" air-to-surface missiles accurately hit the bridge of the "Akagi" aircraft carrier from an altitude of 12,000 meters and 10 kilometers away. This was followed by more intense air raids—a force that should not have belonged to this era, but at this moment sounded the death knell for this assault fleet that should have left an important mark on the history of this plane.

The blow came violently and suddenly. The gap between more than 60 years of science and technology is far from being compensated for by experience, courage, fighting spirit and the like, and ten minutes later, the huge mothership floating on the sea has turned into a burning steel coffin. A whole fleet erupted in flames across the vast ocean, shards of steel and wood flew in all directions, and a large number of bombers and fighters who had not had time to take off were killed in the flames.

As the Wild Eagle climbed altitude, adjusted course, and flew farther east, they saw billowing smoke and roaring fire. The anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese Navy was completely powerless against the Sky Fortress bomber formations - since the height of the aircraft groups was already far beyond their range. A limited number of Zero fighters climbed rapidly after takeoff, and went straight to an altitude of 10,000 meters in a near-suicidal manner, trying to "shatter the jade".

However, the bomber's altitude is also beyond the capacity of this model - the ceiling of the Zero fighter is 10,000 meters. At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the ailerons reacted so that one of the best fighters of the early stages of World War II began to lose control and began to roll horribly, falling into a high-speed tailspin before being shot down by Sky Fortress fire.

Wang Hunjia grinned: "Win." ”

Bao Hui sighed slightly: "It's they who don't know how far we can go." Even with us...... he frowned, "no one in these days would have imagined that an aircraft could accurately hit a target at an altitude of fifteen thousand meters. ”

Wang Hunjia smiled: "Of course, I didn't expect that someone would cross over here—I didn't expect that a few decades later, there would be something called a species." I'd love to go with them to that one of China...... See what the problem is, to be ridden by the Japanese, such a small country? ”

Bao Hui glanced at him - his tone softened a lot because of the decision the other party had just made: "You really only thought about this issue, and didn't think about why we came here?" ”

"Do you still need to think about this?" Wang Hunjia waved his hand, "There can be a whole year when the electricity is gone, and a bunch of people can suddenly run out and set fire to the palms of their hands - can't you accept this kind of thing?" I've heard that the reason why the electricity is gone is not because of sunspots or supernova explosions, but because of the intersection of parallel universes or something—do you think what we're experiencing now is understandable? ”

Bao Hui frowned tightly and did not answer. He could see the afterglow ahead—they were heading east, and the sun was setting west. But it is precisely because of this that the sunset seems quite long this time. There were even a few seconds when he thought if they could fly faster......

Or you can see the morning sun again.

Catch up with time, maybe you can go back to the era they should have belonged.

"What the hell......" he muttered to himself.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"What are you doing?!" Lu Renjia glared, "Is it just him who flew through silently?!" ”

Xiao Bingyi pursed his lips. After Lu Renjia shouted for the third time, he whispered, "Or you can really fly back again." ”

"Do you really believe him?" Lu Renjia laughed madly, "Just fly like this, you can fly back?" ”

"If you don't believe him, why did you vote for it?" Xiao Bingyi glanced at him lightly.

Lu Renjia was stunned. He stared at Xiao Bingyi silently for a few seconds, and the flush on his face slowly receded. Then he turned his face and stared at the distant sky, as if to see a flower in the void.

Xiao Bingyi smiled, accompanied him for a moment of silence, and suddenly said, "You should be a father after this mission." When is the due date? ”

"Next Wednesday." Lu Renjia's tone returned to calm, thought about it, and said, "It's good that the call came." ”

"Well, it's good to call." Xiao Bingyi turned his face and smiled at him, "So for the sake of your daughter-in-law and your son, you have to continue to fly forward." ”

Lu Renjia smiled reluctantly and remained silent.

The group caught up with the afterglow of the setting sun and flew for an hour and a half in the fading night.

The sun eventually disappeared and the night darkened. High in the Pacific Ocean in October 1941. At such altitudes, the temperature does not change much in spring and summer. They saw the stars, and the moon was still behind them. The sky is clear and the view is good.

So they saw it.

It also looks like a bright moon. It was nothing but a bright moon in the east, low above the clouds.

It's huge, even if it's far away, it's the size of a football goal. It is perfectly round, emitting a faint white glow. I can't see the edge clearly, but I feel that the edge is "where it should be".

In fact, this is the feeling - one second this "bright moon" was still a small point of light that was confusing, but in the next second, it suddenly became very large and appeared abruptly in front of everyone. (To be continued......)
