806 July Fire! (a)

"Los Angeles", call Los Angeles, here are vultures. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)"

"Roger, Los Angeles receive." "Expected to arrive in 15 minutes. ”

"Okay." A playful welcome rang out on the radio: "Welcome to California in July" Sun, sand, and beautiful women are waiting for you. ”

"Fuck off!"

Helian Yu ended the call with a smile and scolded, the scorching sun baked the aluminum fuselage like coals, what kind of sun and sand to welcome himself at this time, isn't this looking for a smoke! "Beauty" can reduce anger, I don't know if it's from Japan or the United States. Damn, it's better to have a bowl of mung bean soup anyway.

The co-pilot and the navigator chattered, it was even noisier than a spinning engine, if it weren't for the altitude of 10,000 meters, Helian Yu really had the urge to throw these two guys down as bombs.

Helian Yu glanced at the side, a total of 78 Thor long-range bombers, 312 propellers, stirring the clouds high in the sky on the California coastline into a trace of white mist.

After a two-day flight to see the coastline of the North American continent, Los Angeles was also a passer, and their final destination was Houston, Texas, which had just been captured.

Compared to a long two-day journey, minutes can pass in the blink of an eye.

The wide, flat airfield was separated by two layers of iron mesh, and the bay was filled with ships from the country, several of which could be seen even sailing ships, and thousands of American prisoners of war were busy at gunpoint as if they were loading boxes of things onto ships.

Helian Yu smiled slightly, in terms of scale, the port of Los Angeles is far inferior to San Francisco and San Diego, but it is still busy like this, which shows how many things have been moved back to China during this time.

The runway is all paved with cement, and the airport after the sun shines is hotter than a large steamer, so Helian Yu still uses the flight plan fan from time to time to cool off after stepping off the plane.

"It's hot, isn't it?"

"Yes, on this day, you have to sweat even if you don't move." After seeing the colonel of the base commander, Helian Yu hurriedly handed over the flight plan and saluted: "The Second Bombardment Regiment of the Air Force was ordered to come to support, and all of them arrived in Thor. ※※※※※I ※ I ※ ※

"It's too late today, you have to stay here for one night to get around." , Watching the Thor begin to land, the colonel handed over the plan to his assistant, and then walked towards the rest area with Helian Yu and the crew members.

"No problem." In the buzzing engine noise, Helian Yu had to raise his voice, and seeing that there were many soldiers busy around, he asked curiously: "Colonel, can you tell me about the situation?" ”

"What's the situation?" , "war situation" and Houston to the situation. ”

"So-so." The colonel shook his head as he walked: "General Luo Feng commanded the First Army to attack Oklahoma, General Wu Peifu and General Yongshan led the Third Army and the Japanese Army to attack Louisiana and Arkansas separately, and the Second Army entered Oregon yesterday.

It's been too hot lately, the railroad to these places has been badly damaged, it's hard to get supplies to the front line, and those Yankees are starting to work hard, so it's not a good advance, but the temporary runway of the airport in Houston has been completed, but the conditions are not as good as here" and you may not be able to fly for a while after you pass. ”

"Oh, why?"

"No oil." The colonel sighed: "Two days ago" the Navy's oil tanker was sunk by an American submarine while entering Bellston Bay, so we can only temporarily deliver aviation gasoline to where with transport planes and airships, and can only give priority to the use of fighters. "Damn, how can this be? Isn't the Navy open in the Caribbean? Haven't you controlled the waterway yet? Hearing the news, Helian Yu felt like a slap in the face, "I didn't expect that after I rushed to the bomber regiment, I actually had the embarrassment of running out of fuel."

It is 2,200 kilometers from the port of Los Angeles to Houston, and even Thor can barely reach it, so it is impossible to meet the fuel consumption of long-range bombers with the current transportation volume of transport planes and airships, and the aviation gasoline used by the Imperial Air Force is specially made, and ordinary fuel is not unusable, but it will damage the engine and the power will drop a lot.

"The Navy is currently attacking the Bō Dorico and the Lesser Antilles, and that Jericho bastard is going around with us" So progress is a bit slow, but rest assured, the Navy is already organizing a rush, and a convoy will be there in five days.

"Grandma, I really want to bomb Washington sooner." "There will be a chance." ”

The arrival of Helianyu and others caused a lot of commotion at the base, especially the fact that such a large number of long-range bombers came over at one time, "made the soldiers feel that the war was about to enter a ** again, but everyone knew that "ensuring the safety of shipping between the east and west coasts has become the key to whether the army can continue to advance east of Texas."

Rumble!

In the Bō rainforest under the wings, "a cloud of mushrooms rose high into the sky, and the trees centered on the explosion point fell radially in all directions, and the American troops hiding inside were either killed or scorched."

"It's a pity, we have a few bombers, otherwise if we throw a few of them, I'm afraid we can end early." Le Fei smacked his lips, the Navy currently does not have an aircraft capable of carrying 800 kilograms of Brute Bull Cloud Bombs, plus the distance from Panama to Bō to Rico "Only the Thor Four-Shot long-range bomber from Rio Acha, Colombia can arrive here with heavy ammunition."

"That can't help it." Zhang Zuoshuang received the same telescope" looked at Sa Zhenbing and Le Fei in front of him and said with a smile: "At present, the manufacturing capacity of domestic factories has also reached the limit, and the output of such a small amount of output every month needs to be ensured to be cut by the commander first" The three regiments that are being formed will also be stationed in Malta first. "Hehe Yuting, don't mention Tang Fat, I don't know him yet" No one is better than their equipment department in terms of hidden skills, I bet" This guy is determined to get the fourth regiment before September. "Although he broke an arm, Sa Zhenbing was cheerful" makes people sigh that he is worthy of being a strong man from Beiyang.

Looking at Zhang Zuoshuang, Sa Zhenbing continued: "It's Yuting, I'm afraid that the chief of staff wants to train you when you return to the front line." Zhang Zuoshuang smiled slightly and didn't answer, "But Le Fei and Sa Zhenbing both know that although Zhang Zuoshuang is still a major general, "in the eyes of others, he is not as good as Sun Jiugong who came out with him back then", but because he has been working in the General Staff for a long time, his vision and grasp of the overall strategy are better than most generals, and this time he was suddenly transferred to the General Staff, it is estimated that the Chief of General Staff wants him to go deep into the front line to exercise and exercise, after all, he lacks in this aspect.

"Sir, it's a telegram from the Theater Command.

"Read it."

Houston 3rd Reconnaissance Team reports. Two hours ago, a reconnaissance plane spotted a British and American transport fleet off the coast of Florida, and among the escort ships were two former Russian Queen Maria-class battleships and two converted aircraft carriers, one of which was suspected to be the British Navy's mothership Invincible, and the flotilla was entering the Bahamas at a speed of 16 knots, and the preliminary judgment was that it might be heading towards the Bahamas or reinforcements sent by the Turks and Caicos Islands. ”

"Hehe...... "This Jericho is really willing." Le Fei spread out the chart on the small table and "looked at the dense island area in the northwest of Bō Rico", and was also a little surprised that Jericho actually pulled out the modified aircraft carrier Invincible to escort it.

Although Britain and the United States also temporarily used merchant ships and oil tankers to refit a large number of improvised aircraft carriers, the Invincible and the Ark Royal were completely different, as early as after Li Xiuyan ate the two Valiant-class heavy artillery cruisers made by Fisher in a night battle, not only let Fisher step down and eventually die of illness, "but also made Britain understand that in the face of China's fast battleships, this kind of cruiser is completely vulnerable, so it immediately dismantled the main guns" to learn from China's method of transforming the Jinghai-class cruisers, and changed the latter two into aircraft carriers.

Since the shape of Hua's aircraft carrier has been revealed to the world, the modification of these two ships is also different from later generations, the wooden deck has been extended to the bow, so that the hangar has also increased a lot, and it can carry 32 aircraft when using the hangar purely, and if the deck is also used, it can carry 40 aircraft at a time.

In addition to the Camel F2 fighter, Britain has recently been equipped with a good performance of the Cuckoo biplane torpedo plane, "according to intelligence shows that these two aircraft carriers have been equipped with this kind of aircraft, if their own fleet does not have air cover, it is really not possible to win with anti-aircraft artillery alone."

War is the catalyst for all technology "After the Battle of False Bay, countries have recognized the powerful power of aircraft carriers, especially the Battle of the Gulf of Panama has accelerated the fleet aircraft carriers, although the war is urgent, their large aircraft carriers have just stepped off the design table, but the use of oil tankers and cargo ships, or a large number of simple light aircraft carriers, only the United States is currently known to deliver 8 ships, at least of which are modified with more than 20,000 tons of large ships, which can carry more than 60 aircraft at a time.

Although these aircraft carriers are roughly equivalent to China's first-generation Assault-class training carriers, Le Fei will not underestimate the other party, he also used the wooden biplane Sea Eagle to create a great victory in False Bay, so it is clear that warships cannot take much advantage in front of aircraft, even old biplane torpedo aircraft.

"Can you intercept it?" Sa Zhenbing asked.

"No, our close Nanchu formation is still kilometers southwest of Bō Rico, even if we rush over now, it will be too late, and we can't stop the withdrawal of battleships by relying on cruisers." Le Fei shook his head: "Obviously, Jericho can't come up with a good way now, so he wants to rely on light warships and island attack and defense to delay and consume us." ”

"He really can't do anything. After Tirpitz returned, the German navy was regrouped in the port of Kiel, and this old fox was obviously trying to take advantage of the decisive battle between us and Jericho to muddy the waters! So Jericho had to delay us until the beginning of August when the two Hood-class battlecruisers could be delivered, at least the British mainland would be safe. ”

"Fang Jin has already set off, right? Let's see if Jericho will take the call this time. Sa Zhenbing subconsciously lowered his sleeves and said with a smile: "I really hope to see with my own eyes what kind of expression Jericho has when He Wenyu and Xiao Haitao arrive!" ”@。
