Chapter Eighty-Five: The Prologue to Armageddon
On the other hand, Allied telegraph personnel soon intercepted the news of the Axis Powers' feint attack on the Aliu Islands.
At the same time, there was also intelligence on the bombing of AF Island on the morning of the 6th.
The entire Allied forces began to react quickly, and set up countless anti-aircraft guns on AF Island, so that these Axis pilots would not return!
Armageddon also kicked off.
The pilots of the Yorktown were told to get up at four o'clock tomorrow for Armageddon. Everyone immediately began to get busy, especially the crew and logistics staff, but the pilots had nothing to do at this time, just a good rest.
Sam was holding that black-and-white photo of a little boy riding on top of him with sand all over his face.
"Sam, get some rest, I'm going to have a break with them tomorrow." Levi said, extinguishing the lights in the cabin.
"Okay, Lieutenant Levi." He carefully put the photo in his pocket watch, and then said to Levi, "Lieutenant, is it true that superheroes won't appear, no matter who it is, why don't heroes show up, go save Zhengang, go destroy the Axis ......"
"Sam!" Levi's voice interrupted him, "Why call superheroes, we're going to surpass those guys who rely only on propaganda, understand?" β
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant, my youngest son died in Jingang, right in front of me, and I saw with my own eyes one bomb after another falling on his side not far away."
"Hmm." Levi replied briefly, indicating that he was listening.
"It was his birthday and I took time off to take him to the beach...... But, damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Axis ......" Sam seemed to roar excitedly, gritting his teeth and smacking word by word.
"Sam, calm down, sleep, we'll be done tomorrow." Levi said.
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant, I'm out of shape again...... Good night bar......"
"Good night."
The cabin lights were turned off, and it was plunged into complete darkness. The whole world seemed to be swaying, and the waves crashed heavily against the ship's side with a dull sound.
Li Wei still continued to cultivate spiritual power in his body, as if breathing was engraved into instinct, and he would not let go of any opportunity to become stronger.
Sam was also wrapped in a quilt, and they all slept in their clothes tonight, so it was very uncomfortable. In the midst of tossing and turning, I finally fell asleep.
β¦β¦
"Daddy, I'm going to build the Sand Castle over here, help me get two ice creams." The little boy's face was covered in sand, and he begged at Sam as if he were coquettish.
"Okay, okay, wait a minute." The man smiled, and the forehead lines on his face seemed to be squeezed together.
It was right next to the Navy headquarters, surrounded by the same Navy families, so Sam left the beach with peace of mind and went to buy ice cream.
"Buzz!"
The furious roar of a fighter jet flashed overhead, and Sam instantly sensed something unusual, as it was not their allied plane.
He hurried outside, only to see a swarm of locust-like planes coming from above the sea level.
"Jim! Get down! Sam yelled anxiously.
"Daddy!" The kid named Jim didn't seem to hear Sam's hysterical yelling, and he waved his hand happily and ran towards Sam.
"Boom!" The bomb completely obscured his vision, and at the last moment, he saw only the smiling face waving his hand......
β¦β¦
The alarm sounded loudly on the Yorktown, and all the personnel began to get up as fast as they could, and ready for battle.
It was more than four o'clock in the morning, and before that, the Axis countries had already taken off 7 reconnaissance planes, while the Allies had taken off 24 reconnaissance planes in a row on AF Island.
Levi and the others all began to stand by on the plane, this time it was not training, but a complete battle to the death.
At 6 a.m., the radio station began to transmit intelligence on friendly forces on the AF island.
"This is AF Island, reconnaissance planes have found that there is an Axis fleet in 43W azimuth 102 nautical miles, and have seen three aircraft carriers Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu, 32 torpedo planes and fighters have begun to take off, we will drag the enemy in advance, and leave the rest to you. The Allies will win! overγ β
"This is the Yorktown, we will also take off immediately, and the Allies will win! overγ β
Captain Thatch finished the radio, then immediately picked up the loudspeaker and pointed it at the pilots, shouting, "Boys, it's time for us to play with our lives!" This time, I'm going to come back alive! Did you hear that? β
"I heard you!"
"Be louder, you can't hear me!"
"Hear me!!"
"Very nice and very energetic! The Allies will win! β
"The Allies will win!"
"The Allies will win!"
"All! Takeoff! β
The Yorktown was in full swing, one plane after another continued to rise into the air, torpedo planes, bombers, and fighters all poured out, and the entire Yorktown only left the last ten fighters to prevent the enemy from stealing home, and the other more than 50 planes all set off to go straight to the Axis aircraft carrier fleet.
"The third squad of bombers is ready to take off." Levi put on his mask and saluted with his two fingers together and pointed to the frame of his eyebrows.
"Escort fighters ready to take off." Captain Thatch also saluted.
"Buzz!"
The huge push force hit, and Levi immediately raised the operating stick, and the dive bomber quickly rose into the air, and flew all the way to an altitude of 5,000 meters.
They followed the entire bomber group, and the bombers of Xiaofu, Ocelot, and Sam soon came to the same level as Levi, and Captain Thatch's escort fighters would be a little below them, keeping an eye on the enemy's attack.
Levi gave a thumbs up, and Sam gave them the same thumbs up.
The brutal meat grinder is about to begin.
From 6 o'clock onwards, not only the planes of the aircraft carrier Yorktown poured out, but also the planes on the USS Hornet and Enterprise, and pounced on the First Fleet of the Axis powers like the most bloodthirsty cheetahs.
At half past six in the morning, Axis bombers from the Axis bombers on AF Island arrived.
A total of 80 bombers carrying high-explosive charges and more than 20 escort fighters, each of which was painted with the symbol of the Great Day, attacked from the other side of the sea. The black pressure is like a group of black clouds pressing up.
"The Axis fleet has arrived at AF Island, over."
"The Yorktown fleet is on its way to the Axis First Fleet and is expected to arrive in two hours, over."
On AF Island, countless Allied soldiers began to set up anti-aircraft guns, and the double-barreled barrels were pointed at the plane sprayed with the Great Sun mark.
"Fire!"
"Boom, boom!" Numerous anti-aircraft guns began to shoot at planes in the sky.
At this time, there were no more planes on the AF island, and all the planes had already set off before to attack the First Fleet of the Axis powers. It's already a change of play for a famous brand.
Now in the entire AF Island, only their group of personnel from the anti-aircraft battery remains, they are the last bastion of the AF, and they are also the guardians of the mortal.
All of them knew they were going to die, but none of them backed down.
Because there is no way back, behind them is the naval headquarters, which is their home.
"The Allies will win!" The anti-aircraft gun stubbornly raised its head and began to aim at the sky to vent its last firepower.
