Under the setting sun, the red shamflower logo on the fuselage of a carrier-based aircraft officially numbered as the Ship Reconnaissance H-1 "Sssangyong" type shone brightly.

This "Ssangyong" aircraft and the previous "Ssangyong" carrier-based seaplanes are no longer the same species, but according to the experience of the Battle of the Gretel Strait, the heavy, large and obstructive pontoons have been removed, replaced with two more powerful star engines (5 cylinders 175 horsepower), the fuselage has been strengthened, and the oxygen supply device has been installed to greatly improve the practical ceiling, range and speed of the new species, but the appearance has not been greatly changed, so the code name of "Ssangyong" has been retained.

Sitting in the main cockpit and skillfully maneuvering this plane is Feng Mingshan, who has been promoted to lieutenant of naval aviation, and this time he was sent as an "instructor" to the so-called Texas Sea as a foreign aid along with more than 200 other pilots and ground crews - the crew of the Texas Sea is all Japanese, and the original Japanese shogunate navy and various pirates are very numerous, and the good players selected from them are enough for the Texas Sea to use. However, the former shogunate navy and various pirates were unable to provide pilots and deck ground crews for the Texas Sea, although it was not difficult to fly planes in these years, but it was not easy to train carrier-based pilots at any time!

Not to mention that Japan can't come up with dozens or hundreds of carrier-based aircraft pilots at once, even the total number of carrier-based aircraft pilots who can go to the battlefield in the Ming Naval Aviation is only 300. And that's the number of pilots and pilots (co-pilots). It can be said that all of them are valuable assets of naval aviation!

This time, Zhuge Weidao wanted to make Texas Haizi famous, so he gritted his teeth and pulled out 88 people (including 8 co-pilots) from the carrier-based aircraft corps of the Pacific Fleet to temporarily lend them to Texas Haizi.

After the Texas Haizi made a name for himself, filled with hatred, and sent a mixed brigade of the Texas Luzi to Texas City, these pilots who lent them to the Texas Haizi were all going to return to the team.

Of course, by that time, the "flying samurai" of the Texas Sea should almost have graduated from the flight school of the Daming Naval Aviation, although it is impossible to fly carrier-based aircraft immediately, but they can fly to Texas first to fly shore-based aircraft, and it is not too late to fly on the ship when they are proficient.

As for the Ming carrier-based aircraft pilot like Feng Mingshan, he will also gain a lot because of this "external trip".

Sitting in the cockpit, thinking of his future career is bright, and then looking at the flight formation composed of 39 Sea Flying Dragons (Ship Bomb Type 1) and Double Dragon (Ship Reconnaissance Type 1) belonging to the Akagi Flight Brigade following behind him, Feng Mingshan was both excited and excited, and even trembled.

This time, they're going to drop bombs on the Americans' heads!

This must be a great event of great significance to the Great Ming Dynasty - what is extraordinary Feng Mingshan does not know, but Vice Admiral Zhuge Weidao, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, cried happily as he saw them off Pearl Harbor. Also said this "King Wuzhong's last wish"!

I don't know how this United States offended King Wuzhong? When this Wuzhong Wang passed away, the United States had not yet opened!

However, King Zhuge Wuzhong is a celestial who can pinch and calculate, and he may have already calculated that "whoever wins North America gets the world" is not certain. Thinking that the ideal of leading the world of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty would be realized in his own generation, and that he was still making contributions in this war to establish the hegemony of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, the corners of Feng Mingshan's mouth began to crack rapidly, but before he could laugh, the ore radio that had been silent before suddenly sounded.

"Attention all the Akagi Flying Group, we are close to the target!"

This voice made Feng Mingshan nervous all of a sudden.

"The Norfolk base of the U.S. military is in front of 11 o'clock!"

In the roar of the engine, the voice of Lieutenant Commander Li Zhaoxun, the captain of the Chicheng Flight Group, wafted in each cockpit, and the voice of the veteran pilot of Daming Hainan Airlines (who was an airship pilot in his early years) and the former president of the Hainan Airlines Flight School, every pilot clenched the control stick.

"There is no invincible activity in the skies above the Norfolk base, and it seems that our surprise attack has been successful!" Li Zhaoxun held the microphone and joked in a relaxed tone, filling the call channel of Ore Radio with laughter.

"Watch out for ground fire! Don't be reckless! Li Zhaoxun's voice changed suddenly, and he looked extremely serious, "Don't fly too low, keep the altitude, and you must pull up immediately after completing the dive bomb!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing the voice of his pilot coming from the radio, Li Zhaoxun took a deep breath, and then adjusted the frequency of the radio to the cabin communication, "Tian San, send a power to the Akagi Tiger!" Tiger! Tiger! ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! "It's a code for the success of the surprise attack.

Of course, Zhuge "came up" for Dao, and he also successfully formulated the "Bear!" for the bombing of Wall Street. Bear! Bear! The "big bear market" has been bombed, and the funds must not flee quickly? U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds, and the U.S. dollar all had to plummet by 50 or 60 percent

"Woo."

Piercing anti-aircraft sirens sounded from the Norfolk base. Because the main force of the Atlantic Fleet had long since fled to the Gulf of Mexico, the Norfolk military port was empty, with only some old sailing ships and shallow heavy gunboats that could not travel far were at home. However, the Marines guarding the harbor were all there. Porter also sent a letter from the Pennsylvania to Norfolk Base Commander Oliver Murphy. Hazard. Maj. Gen. Perry (Matthew. Perry's brother) sent a telegram informing him of the impending bombing of the base.

From this point of view, the surprise attack was not a success.

But after receiving David. Lieutenant General Porter telegraphed Oliver. Perry, however, had no good idea, as the base commander had a solid coastal battery, large-caliber artillery, a shallow-water heavy gunboat with powerful firepower, and a regiment of marines. However, he did not have an airplane that could fight in air combat, nor did he have a few small and flexible anti-aircraft guns, and the only anti-aircraft weapons available were anti-aircraft machine guns modified from water-cooled machine guns for infantry, anti-aircraft guns modified from 75-millimeter guns, and anti-aircraft guns that could only be used to fight airships.

But the US Navy can't stop fighting planes just because it doesn't have the proper weapons. U.S. Navy! It's aimed at the whole world!

Oliver, who once used a modified warship to defeat the British Royal "Lake" Army in the Great Lakes region. Perry was already neatly dressed at this time, standing on the air defense position, and it was quite gratifying to see his well-trained Marines skillfully erect anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns.

Although he also knows that these weapons will not play a role in today's air defense operations, as long as the spirit of the Navy remains, the United States will have a bright future!

And soon the United States will be able to take to the skies to fight planes!

At this moment, a cannon flower has exploded over Norfolk Bay, and it is a shallow water gunboat on the sea, and the 75mm anti-aircraft gun on the ship is firing a shallow grenade.

Although such an artillery bombardment had no effect on the enemy planes at an altitude of two or three thousand meters, and even attracted a group of biplanes to dive and drop bombs on the battleship, such a heroic act still made Oliver . Perry is very proud!

"Boom"

A bomb had already hit the brave shallow water heavy gunboat, blasting a huge fireball in its stern.

But the anti-aircraft fire on this battleship was still firing desperately, and Oliver raised his binoculars to watch the battle. Perry even saw the sailors on this shallow water heavy gunboat standing on the deck with rifles and firing in the air!

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Several biplanes dived at an angle of thirty or forty degrees to drop 100 kilograms of bombs, two of which hit this large gunboat with a standard displacement of more than 5,000 tons, first two fireballs, and then suddenly with a loud bang, the ammunition depot on the ship seemed to have been blown up, and in an instant it exploded into a ball of fire!

Perry put down his binoculars, stood upright, and gave the most solemn military salute to the battleship that had turned into a ball of fire!
