The six planes discovered by the anti-aircraft radar on the "Sacramento" class integrated supply ship E4 were British planes that took off from Long Island County, northeast of Phuket, Thailand.

Unlike the previous seaplanes sent by Ferimaant, which were spotted by the AV-8B Sea Harrier, these six British planes were all land-based aircraft. They are larger than the seaplanes that have traveled through the previous discoveries, and they have a much longer range than the former.

At this time, John Bull has generally been fooled and lame by the crossers, and its navy is determined that the giant ship cannon is the master of future naval warfare, after all, the huge hull of the BB63 and its 406 mm main gun are placed there, and no one will look at the prospect of carrier-based aircraft again. As a result, John Bull spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the development of airplanes that could sail with battleships and cruisers, and the aircraft was nothing more than a tool for reconnaissance and artillery calibration for the fleet.

But there are still some in Britain who insist on developing larger, longer-range aircraft in order to provide front-line commanders with more real-time information about the depth of the battlefield. Given that John Bull was in its heyday at this time, those who held such an opinion were given enough money to develop the current biplane land-based aircraft.

This British airfield, located northeast of Phuket, was built in a hurry after the deterioration of diplomatic relations between Song and Britain, and its purpose was to detect the Great Song warships that were departing from John Niu's imaginary Great Song mainland and intended to pass through the Strait of Malacca, so as to gain enough warning time for the British troops stationed in Singapore.

In fact, John Bull not only built an airfield northeast of Phuket, but they also built an airfield in Phuket, across the sea from Phuket, where they could take off and land these biplane roadbed aircraft. John Bull did this in order to prevent the fleet of the Great Song Royal Navy from bypassing the Strait of Malacca, entering the South China Sea from the Sunda Strait and heading north to support the Great Song army in the Far East.

"From a radar point of view, these six planes are very slow, and they are very likely to be very backward aircraft, and I mean they are not much better than the canvas planes that are sprinkled with seeds and pesticides." The rough embryo who was monitoring the movements of the six planes in the radar room reported to Su Yan on the radio.

"Hehe, which teacher taught you, who told you that the aircraft that shows slow speed on the radar is poor performance? What if they were all fully loaded with ammunition? Before Su Yan could react to the former's assertion, there were already opposing opinions on the E4 ship's internal radio.

The rough embryo who raised the objection was working on the tower of the civilian airport before he crossed it, and the so-called short general Liba was already the most authoritative radar professional on the E4 ship.

"Go and ask the people who are busy in the engine room, when will they be able to get the ship moving!? We can't just stay and be a target! Su Yan roared after hearing the speculation of the "authoritative" person.

As the fastest comprehensive supply ship in the 21st century, the E4 ship can soar to 26 knots, and in the eyes of Su Yan, a military blind, having such a speed can reduce the probability of being hit by an ancient aircraft to a certain extent.

"Well, the bunch of stubbles in the engine room said that the two steam turbines removed from the Iowa-class battleship Kentucky were too difficult to serve, and it would be difficult for them to provide enough power for the ship to sail for a while, and now they can only provide enough power supply to the whole ship for the time being." After all, it was the rough embryos in the engine room who fiddled with the two turbines with a total power of 100,000 horsepower produced by General Electric on the E4 ship by looking at the manual, and it was a blessing that the ship was not blown up.

"Even if the engine room can provide enough power, it will be in vain, who are you going to put at the helm? Let me come? I've only ever sailed a small yacht! Besides, we are now in the near sea, and I have no knowledge of the shipping lanes and hydrographic information in the vicinity, and until now we have not even sent out people to measure the depths, so there is a high probability that the ship will run aground. The rich second generation who can drive a yacht interjected on the radio.

"Then hurry up and find someone who can measure the depth of the water! We have a few hundred people, can't we get together a few people who can measure the depth of water? As soon as he heard that the unfathomable water depth was almost equivalent to being trapped in the offshore sea of Phuket, Zhang Jinshan, the foreman of the contractor, could not calm down.

"Hmph, we don't just have people on board who can measure the depth of water, I guess there are also people who can steer big ships. If you look at the guys over there, shaking their heads like blindness, and the sneering sluts, I guess they know a little bit about the way of navigation. Su Yan pouted and said.

The few guys with their nostrils facing the sky in Su Yan's mouth stood with Wei Xun and them watching from a distance as Su Yan and them, who had no experience in operating large ships and sailing, jumped up and down to the ground and died. The corpses of the pirates in the two rounds soaked in the sea have been eaten by sharks, but this fact does not make Wei Xun and them believe that they are facing a situation that they have crossed, and they are still patiently waiting for the moment when this "farce" is punctured.

"Spicy next door, it is estimated that we will not be able to walk for a while, and there is no letter in the green paint area mentioned by the 'director team'! It's better to rely on others than on yourself, let the IT fat house in the fire control room quickly figure out the operation of the anti-aircraft missile. Eight 'sea sparrows' against six old planes, you have to give Lao Tzu this first wave! In the end, Su Yan could only pin his hopes on that group of IT fat houses.

"Mr. Su, the 'Sea Sparrow' thing is semi-active radar guidance, and there are certain requirements for operation, and in a hurry, you let us achieve a hit rate of eight out of six, and we don't have a spectrum in our hearts!" The IT fat houses, who were pinned on by Su Yan, immediately expressed their opinion on the radio that it was difficult for concubines to do it.

As an all-weather, short-range, low-altitude defense ship-to-air missile of the Eagle Sauce Navy, the "Sea Sparrow" air defense missile is mainly used to deal with low-altitude aircraft, anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, and other targets. Its maximum range is 18 kilometers, well, this maximum range refers to the maximum range of frontal interception, once the "Sea Sparrow" locks on the target to maneuver away, it needs to change to tail chase attack mode, its range will be greatly reduced. There are data that it has a range of only about 5 kilometers when carrying out a tail chase attack.

Even if the legs are short, the "Sea Sparrow" also uses semi-active radar guidance, so if the "Sea Sparrow" wants to achieve a high hit rate, the shipborne radar must continuously place the target in the radar illumination beam. This is basic operation for a trained operator, and the shipborne radar will not be in constant displacement, like the on-board radar of a fighter jet.

But for those IT fat houses who took over the "Sea Sparrow" through the manual only a few hours ago, this kind of operation is a fate. Because of the short range of the "Sea Sparrows," they had to put the enemy planes closer before attacking, and because the ship-borne radar needed to continuously provide signals, before the missiles hit the target, the same radar could only command and attack one at a time, or a few very close targets, and it was very easy for the system to be saturated in an environment with more targets. This means that the operation time left for those IT fat houses is very rushed, and for novices, even if they use "sea sparrows" to fight the ancient aircraft formation, it is not an easy thing.
