807 Eastern Fleet sortie

Tao Mingzhang walked over in a panic, and when he caught a glimpse of Xu Chong who was communicating with 419, his mouth was already closed, Xu Chong had cooperated with him during the battle, and he was a nodding friend, but he only knew that it was Chu Tingchang's cronies, but he didn't expect that the equipment in front of him was showing a constantly changing contour map, of course he didn't understand the terrain mapping of UAV synthetic aperture radar, but he could understand that this was a map of his attack area, the image changed rapidly, and he could clearly see the ups and downs of the terrain. His jaw dropped in astonishment.

Last month, when he saw a complete map stitched together from aerial photographs taken by a US military reconnaissance plane, he had already lamented that the world was changing too fast, and now he was seeing something completely incomprehensible.

He raised his head and saw another person next to the military commander, looking at the silhouette, isn't this person Lin Linqi? The person he had always felt very similar to Chu Tingchang in some places?

In order to deal with Xiong Xianghui, the group rehearsed the day before yesterday, of course, Xiong Xianghui was not shocked yesterday, and today it has to be performed again.

When Lin Xiuxuan turned around, Tao Mingzhang was dumbfounded.

"Captain Lin, didn't you step on the ......?"

"Who said I stepped on *?"

"It turns out that you know Commander Chu Ting?" Tao Mingzhang hurriedly diverted the topic, "When I was in Moneva, I felt that there were some places between you and the commander of Chu Ting, who were very similar......

"Your instincts are right. We do know each other. Lin Xiuxuan nodded.

"Actually, he is not called Chu Tingchang, he is our deputy captain, called Chu Aiyun."

"Vice-Captain?" Tao Mingzhang looked confused, and saw Chu Tingchang nodding.

"You must have a lot of questions, I'll start with the beginning, we're from the future, and the equipment in this room, and the last time you saw it on the truck, it's all the equipment of the future?"

"From the future? Will we defeat the Japanese in the future? ”

Tao Mingzhang raised questions, and his sharp thinking was really unexpected by everyone.

"Of course, in our time and space, the Japanese held out until 1945 and surrendered. But in this plane, there is still something uncertain. ”

"Time and space can still come and go?"

"Yes, in our time, there was a group of Japanese who found a way to travel through time and space, they tried to come to the pre-war and save Japan from defeat, and I, Deputy Captain Chu, and a group of comrades, followed them here, just to thwart this conspiracy."

"How is this possible......"

"You see this equipment, it's not a product of this era?"

"These are all made in China?" He walked over and stroked the drone on the table

"Yes, in the future we will be able to make almost all industrial products."

Tao Mingzhang put his butt on the chair, and then shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to wake himself up from a dream.

"So, how long after we defeated the Japanese and became an industrial nation?"

"Soon, if everything goes well, in 20 years, you can see the prototype of an industrial country, of course, after this, there will be many twists and turns, but China will rise at a very fast pace, surpassing most of the great powers of this era, in our time, that is, about 70 years later, there is only one country left in front of us, and it will soon be surpassed."

"Is it the Soviet Union?"

"No, it's the United States."

"The USSR is third?"

"Soviet ...... Pretty much. ”

"So, did we follow the path of the USSR, or did we follow the path of the United States?"

"We went our own way. A path to industrialization that suits you. If you have any questions, you can ask. ”

"Yes, there are a lot of questions......"

At the Biburi airport in Thailand, Makino climbed down from the position of the machine gunner of a 97 ship attack that had just landed, and walked towards Mitsuo Tachibana, who was the head of his Yanlong* project, and arrived first in the transport plane, and Makino was afraid of death, so he temporarily transferred a horizontal bomber.

After the two talked a few words, they quickly walked to the underground facilities of the airport, and now Makino has a heavy responsibility, and he knows that he must not fail, so he is no longer used to staying under the sun, and he wants to find a basement to hide in at any time.

"Mr. Makino, the preparations for the attack are almost complete, and the people of Mitsubishi Corporation are assembling the equipment......"

"I don't want to listen to anything about it, and if I don't complete 100% preparation in the future, don't mention it in front of me."

Makino said sternly, his pressure was increasing, and his temperament had recently begun to change drastically, becoming mean and irritable.

"Yes."

"Is Onishi here?"

"Onishi Osa arrived yesterday and was chatting with the pilots."

"Let's go, go to him, I'm afraid he's going to talk nonsense again."

They walked down the dark hallway to a briefing room in front of them, where they could hear occasional light laughter.

"Nishida, I heard that you just shot down forty enemy planes? Or a P38? "It sounds like the voice of Takijiro Onishi.

"I could bite the P40 in two and a half circles, and as for the wildcats, I was able to get my hands on them. It was more difficult to deal with, the P38 was too fast to allow it to dive and escape. ”

"Well, soon you'll have to deal with the British hurricanes and sea-fire planes."

"Spitfire, it looks like a small wingload, it should be a great aircraft to hover and climb, but it can't be stronger than the Zero."

"Well, this time it's up to you to escort our Tianshan bombers, I'll tell you a secret, the bombers will carry one or two magical weapons, we will test them with the British fleet first, and then it will be the turn of the Americans."

Makino walked into the briefing room with a straight face, he didn't like Onishi talking about immature weapons in front of low-level pilots. In his opinion, it was enough for the bomber captains in the formation to know what they were going to throw, and the rest did not have to know.

As he walked in, Onishi came over with great interest to shake his hand, and then introduced Makino to the rest of the 30 or so pilots present.

"This is our genius weapon designer, Mr. Makino. The weapon of destruction that the enemy is about to face is designed by him. ”

Makino nodded reluctantly, and Onishi finally didn't mention that he had traveled from the future.

"Stand upright."

All the pilots stood and saluted Makino.

"Thank you......," a second lieutenant stepped forward, "I haven't seen the power of those weapons yet, but thank you for all you've done for the Empire." ”

Makino barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Let's all go back, the alarm sounds, and we can gather at the airport at any time." Onishi beckoned everyone to leave, and the pilots left in high spirits.

Makino walked to the wall and looked at the map.

"Dazuo, did the British really come so fast?"

"Yes, it may land at the Andaman Army, where there are only a few hundred marines, and if the British land, they will definitely not be able to hold it, but what they want is to destroy Mikawa's fleet and avenge the year before last. Hehe, but I didn't expect that we had your new weapon. ”

"I think you're a little too optimistic about the new weapons."

"Why not be optimistic? It's not a good fight on the range. It's even more sure that you're here in person, and I can't wait. ”

"What about General Ishihara? Did you send a plane to pick him up? ”

"Staff Officer Tsuji sent a plane, but the old man didn't want to come back, saying that he was going to come back by ship with Sakagaki, and the Army's idea is always strange."

"I don't know why, but I always felt very close to the Chinese submarine, and he should be in the Gulf of Siam, or somewhere in the Andaman Sea."

"Maybe we can kill her."

"Don't even think about it, but this submarine's weapons should be launched, and it shouldn't be able to make big waves, right?" Makino said suspiciously.

"I hope so. It's just a submarine, what's the big deal. ”

"How's your plan going?"

"Planes from the Andaman Island have already been dispatched, and it is believed that the British fleet will soon be found. Hopefully paralyze their attention. ”

At the same time, 3 old Type 96 carrier-based fighters, together with a Type 96 land bomber, searched the vast sea for the enemy fleet, and they took off from the airfields of the Andaman Islands, ostensibly with the mission of finding and finding the British fleet.

The radar on the aircraft carrier Unicorn, at a distance of 80 km, detected an approaching target. This radar made it possible to detect smaller formations, thanks in part, of course, to the fact that there was a larger twin-engine bomber in them.

Two Spitfires in formation took off immediately, and since the radar could only scan horizontally in the direction, it was impossible to determine the target height, so these fighters took some trouble to circle the enemy's rear. Immediately, it was found at a visual distance that it seemed to be several Japanese Type 99 dive bombers (misjudged)

The British Spitfire quickly approached from the rear. However, the Japanese fighters still spotted the faint black smoke in the distance first, and the navigator of the Type 96 land attack aircraft immediately reported to his superiors on the radio that the British fleet had been discovered, probably consisting of one aircraft carrier and three destroyers, and then they were ready to launch an attack on this fleet.

The Sea Fire fighter, which occupied a dominant altitude, dived down and shot down the twin-engine bomber in one fell swoop, and then the British plane began to engage in a grapple with the 96 ship. The maneuverability of the 96 ship battle is good, but after all, it is an old-generation aircraft with an open cockpit and an unrecoverable landing gear, which is circling, the energy decays quickly, and soon it will not be able to maintain the angle of attack, and it is not an opponent of the Sea Fire fighter at all, and in a few minutes, all three ship battles were shot down.

After a clean air battle, the British ushered in a small disaster, and the excited British destroyed three sea fires for various reasons during the landing, so that today's battle loss ratio turned from 4 to 0 to 4 to 3.

Admiral Somerville has been worried about the power of the enemy's land-based aviation, and he does not want to repeat the mistake of the Prince of Wales the year before, but today's first battle has given him confidence, it seems that the intelligence service is effective, and they are sure that the Japanese army does not have a strong aviation in this area. In fact, another simple logic that could convince him was that if the enemy had strong enough aircraft, he would have already thrown in support of the ground army.

Despite the report of the forward fleet that at the last moment, the Japanese might have seen the position of the warship and sent a telegram, the admiral still ordered the war-weariness to speed up, and if the enemy did not have a strong aviation, then this fleet sent by Yamamoto would simply have come to die, and he could not give up such a great honor.
