Liaoning's voice suddenly raised, and he said loudly with a little excitement:
"Fleet! A fleet, an aircraft carrier formation, is sailing from north to south 1,200 kilometers to the northwest, and the storm area is moving north, and this fleet is about to enter the storm area.
"The members of this aircraft carrier fleet do not seem to be in good condition, the aircraft carrier and the frigate are damaged to varying degrees, and 6 propeller aircraft are hovering over the fleet and are on guard, without probing around......"
At the same time that Liaoning reported to Mu Feng, it also made the information public on the data link, and everyone knew the news of the discovery of the ship's fleet at the same time.
After sailing at sea for 21 days, I finally found the shipwreck fleet on this side of the world, and everyone's emotions were quite excited.
There was a sense of joy that the long journey was finally over and the Long March was about to be won, and there were bursts of cheers in the data link communication.
Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately cheered up again:
"We have just arrived in this place, the situation is unclear for the time being, Liaoning, let the AWACS continue to get closer, and try to figure out the identity of this fleet first."
Mu Feng said in his mouth, directly connecting Liaoning's vision and finding the direction that Liaoning said.
Looking at it from a distance, there were six warships on that sea forming a single column formation and slowly moving forward.
The distance is too far away, the shape of the warship is more ambiguous, but it is certain that there is an aircraft carrier, a battleship, two cruisers, two destroyers in the fleet.
At the same time, Sirius and Neptune also suspended their scientific research work, maintained data connectivity with the Liaoning, and compared the pictures and information transmitted back by the Liaoning's early warning aircraft in the data of World War II warships.
As the distance continues to increase, the outline of this fleet becomes clearer and clearer, and the ship mother, who is a little excited, also begins to discuss in the data link, trying to determine what kind of ships these warships are.
Nanchang was the first to speak: "I see that the island of this aircraft carrier seems to be on the left side of the hull, and the range has been reduced all of a sudden, and there are only two ...... in the world that use this design."
Qiandao Lake asked very curiously: "Brother Nan, I remember that the warship ship island and the command tower are basically on the right side, which is almost a convention in the world, why do the two of them put it on the left side?" ”
Nanchang squinted his eyes and reminded seriously: "Qianqian, how many times have I said it, don't call me Brother Nan, call me my sister!" ”
"Okay, Brother Nan." Tiandao Lake immediately agreed, "Yes, Brother Nan, then Brother Nan, why did they put the ship island on the left side?" ”
Nanchang has been familiar with Qiandao Lake's character these days, and at this time he let out a long sigh and decided not to be serious with her:
"IJN believes that two aircraft carriers of the same fleet, one on the left side and one on the right side, is convenient for unified dispatch and command, so it has become like this.
"However, in actual use, it was found that when the carrier-based aircraft landed in an accident, the propeller aircraft would have a high probability of turning to the left, and it was very easy to hit the ship island, causing explosions and fires.
"So the islands of Akagi and Wyvern were stained with the blood of IJN pilots, and after IJN learned the lesson of blood, other aircraft carriers never used this design again."
Qiandao Lake actually didn't understand at all, with a blank expression on her face, but she still nodded and said:
"So that's the case, I understand, by the way, Brother Nan, have you noticed that this aircraft carrier is very small, and there is no chimney, do they use nuclear power?"
"Nuclear...... Power ...... "Nanchang didn't slow down in one breath, and he didn't know how to explain it at all, so that Guangdong, who was gnawing on the side of him, couldn't help but open his mouth:
"IJN's aircraft carrier island is very small, and you can't see the big chimneys of the Lexington and Tejas classes on the deck, not because it is nuclear-powered, but because the chimneys are turned outward......"
Qiandao Lake suddenly realized: "Oh, this way, I don't understand ...... at all"
While everyone was chatting, the AWACS aircraft was getting closer and closer to the aircraft carrier formation, and the outline of the opposing hull gradually appeared, and Sirius reported at this time:
"The silhouette of the database is compared, with a displacement of more than 30,000 and a Flying Dragon with a displacement of less than 20,000 tons, and the closest to this aircraft carrier is the transformed Akagi."
Nanchang nodded: "Sure enough, it's Akagi, but it's been renovated, and the strange brain-hole design of the three-story stepped flight deck is gone......"
At this time, Yixian said with a little doubt: "I remember that there is a Chicheng County in China, and there is a Chicheng Mountain, the name of the county can be used for corvettes, like Xiaoyiwu, the name of the mountain can be used to name the landing ship, like Kunlun, I don't know if we will have a ship with the same name......"
Sirius checked the database and said: "At present, there are too many counties in China, prefecture-level cities have not been used up, it is not the turn of the county to name frigates, the general county is at most missile boats, patrol boats of this level, Yiwu is a county-level city, and it is too famous in itself, so it has the opportunity to name the frigate, the mountain is the same, there are more famous mountains in China than Chicheng Mountain, even if it is the turn of Tianmu Mountain, it is not the turn of Chicheng Mountain, and it should be deliberately avoided This easily misunderstood name." ”
Yat-sen nodded: "So that's the case......"
At this time, Chongqing looked at the information on the data chain and asked:
"Sister Sirius, the identity of the aircraft carrier has been confirmed, but what about the battleship? What nationality are you from? What level, can you tell now? ”
Before Sirius could speak, Mu Feng couldn't help but smile and said:
"Chongqing, I'll teach you, look at this battleship, you look at this dangerous building-like bridge, it's proper that IJN's ship didn't run away.
"Among the IJN's battleships, there is a speed of more than 25 knots, and the only ones that use eight 16-inch naval guns are the Nagato and Mutsu sisters."
Sirius nodded and said, "The commander is right, this battleship is Nagato-class, and the remaining heavy cruiser should be Kaohsiung-class, and the destroyer is too small to see clearly......"
The AWACS aircraft got closer and finally sent back clear photographs of all the members of the entire fleet, Sirius and Neptune comparison database, listing the detailed composition of the fleet.
One aircraft carrier Akagi, one Nagato-class battleship, two Kaohsiung-class cruisers, and two Fukiyuki-class destroyers.
After reading it, Mu Feng said thoughtfully: "This is a fleet of all IJN nationalities, and the IJN headquarters is likely to be nearby, Liaoning, and began to try radio contact, tell them our identities, ask them about their identities, and remind them of the weather conditions......"
"Okay." Liaoning nodded, and finally confirmed before preparing to send a message:
"Commander, the other party is suspected to be a member of the IJN Command, and we don't know the power structure here, do you want to directly inform us of our identity?"
Mu Feng thought for a while: "We don't need to cover it up, but we don't need to get to the bottom either." ”
"I understand...... Liaoning agreed, using the equipment on the AWACS aircraft, through the public channel, to broadcast a message to the fleet below:
"Hello Chicheng and the escort fleet, this is the Liaoning of the Chinese Navy Headquarters, your fleet is about to enter the storm area, it is recommended to turn around and sail in the southeast direction, please answer if you receive it."
A few minutes later, Liaoning received a response from the other party:
"This is the flagship of the fleet to which Shunsuke Yamashita belongs, the commander of the third-class fleet of the IJN Command, the Liaoning of the Chinese Navy? I haven't heard of it at all, but we have our own plan for our actions, and we don't need to be reminded of them. 2k reading network
