"Understood, carry out the order." The captain Gao Yifeng on the opposite side agreed without hesitation.

Lin Jixun put down the earphones and said: "Order the entire fleet to prepare for battle. The carrier-based aircraft on the Nanyuan aircraft carrier are ready to attack, and at the same time send a report to Keelung, saying that we have discovered the Japanese navy fleet in the Yizhou Strait. The specific size and number are being determined." Under investigation."

The communication staff immediately started the intense work of sending the report, and the alarm bell on the Zhongshan also rang at the right time.Amidst the harsh alarm bells, the sailors quickly ran to their posts, and the total annihilation entered a state of first-level combat readiness.

"Is it too strenuous for Long Tuan to scout, I think it's better to let the plane do it." Professor Liu suggested.

Lin Jixun nodded: "That's fine, let us take off two seaplanes from the ship and search for the target westward. If we can really find the main Japanese fleet, we will have a big deal."

"I don't think there is a problem. If we are biting the United Fleet of the Japanese Kingdom, the military exploits will be too great." Liu Chuanshou nodded.

Lin Jixun looked up at the calm sea, and said confidently: "Didn't the medal system just be announced recently? It is said that the highest level is the Gem Star Pioneer Medal. As long as we make this great contribution, the first owner of this highest medal It's us." Liu Chuanshou laughed when he heard the words, but at this time he didn't expect that these words would become a prophecy.

Two water reconnaissance 2 aircraft modified from the J-2 fighter jets flew into the sky relying on the powerful catapults on the Zhongshan. The two aircraft rose to an altitude of 4000 meters to form a formation and quickly flew towards the west.

When the seaplane took off, Gao Yifeng was commanding his own destroyer, fighting with Japanese warships.The destroyer Long Tuan was custom-made from the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 15 when the Later Jin Dynasty sent people to the western continent to investigate and rebuild the navy. Now it is an old ship over [-] years old.

This small destroyer with a displacement of only [-] tons is relatively backward now. For this reason, Gwanghae Shipyard has carried out several modifications to it, including replacing the engine with a diesel engine to increase its speed to [-] knots. The [-]mm main gun was changed to four twin-mounted [-]mm main guns, and active sonar and depth charges were installed, but its most powerful weapon was replaced with a twin-mounted [-]mm caliber torpedo tube.

On the other hand, the Japanese destroyer confronting it is the Urakaze, the lead ship of the newer domestic Urakaze-class destroyer.This battleship joined the Japanese Navy in [-]. Its displacement is exactly twice that of the Longtuan. Its weapon has a single [-] mm caliber gun with a longer range than the Longtuan. In addition, it also has four [-]mm guns. mm single gun and the same two twin torpedo launchers as Long Tuan.

After discovering the Long Tuan with the flag of the West Navy, Captain Wa thought he had encountered a fat sheep, so he took the initiative to lean on it to prepare for a decisive battle.What the Japanese people did not expect was that this double-sized Seat naval destroyer also took the initiative to meet it, and started intensive shooting with its four [-]mm main guns.

Urakaze's main gun has a range of about 500 meters farther than the opponent's. Relying on this advantage, the Japanese sailors were able to fire in advance.Unfortunately, Pufeng has only one main gun, and its shooting accuracy is a big question mark. Under Gao Yifeng's flexible command, Long Tuan quickly approached the effective range of its own main gun in a snake-like maneuver. within.

When Long Tuan's main guns started firing intensively, the Japanese sailors immediately felt the opponent's precise artillery skills.Although the armaments of the two sides have their own advantages, the actual combat effects are very different.Different from the Japanese destroyer's shelling method which is almost entirely based on feeling, Long Tuan has greatly improved the shooting accuracy during the modification.

Chapter 48 Discovering the Enemy Fleet

At the rear of each twin-mounted turret, a six-meter optical rangefinder is installed. This aiming method, which was not popular in the 20s, has been installed on the Long Tuan and most of the Seat Navy ships.Relying on the high-precision optical rangefinder, the gunners of the Long Tuan can easily aim at the opponent's position. The accuracy of such a direct-pointing artillery attack is very guaranteed.

The successive cannons caused huge splashes around, making the Japanese officers and soldiers terrified.With a loud bang, a [-]mm artillery shell fired from the Dragon Tuan hit the rear deck of the Urakaze, blasting a single secondary battery into the sky.Fortunately, the damage control personnel quickly controlled the situation, which prevented seawater from flooding into the ship.

Pufeng is full of Japanese veterans, and their quality is not boastful, and the revenge will soon begin.After the two sides got closer to five kilometers, the [-]mm secondary guns on the Urakaze destroyer also came in handy, and the Japanese army's firepower density was greatly enhanced immediately.

These secondary artillery quickly achieved results, and a shell hit the middle of the Long Tuan.Although the exploding shell did not detonate the torpedo in the nearby launch tube, it blew up the telegraph room, and the Long Tuan immediately lost contact with the fleet.

"Give them some color and order to launch torpedoes." Gao Yifeng was also taken aback when he saw his own warship being hit.While he was thankful that the torpedo was not detonated, he also knew that the torpedo installed in the launch tube was a hidden danger, so he simply launched it.

Two Yu [-] torpedoes fell into the water with a plop. Driven by the engine, the two thermodynamic torpedoes quickly approached the Japanese destroyer at a speed of [-] knots.The Japanese officers and soldiers turned pale with fright. They never knew that the torpedo could travel so fast and so far, which almost overturned all their common sense.

Fortunately, the captain of the Japanese army reacted quickly, and the destroyer was also flexible because of its small size. He immediately led the Urakaze to turn around, which barely avoided the torpedo attack.Seeing the torpedo on the port side passing close to the side of the ship, the distance between the two sides was even less than two meters, the faces of the Japanese officers and soldiers were frightened.

Although his own warship was twice as large as the opponent's, and his firepower was slightly stronger than his opponent's, the captain of the Japanese army decided to retreat in the face of such a sharp torpedo attack.With the support of the large fleet, they couldn't take such a risk, so the Urakaze retreated while fighting, and slowly retreated towards the main fleet led by Kanji Kato.

The Japanese destroyer's sudden retreat, Gao Yifeng naturally knew that this was the opponent's plan to lure the enemy deeper, but because of Lin Jixun's request, he had to find out the size of the Japanese fleet, so he chased after it without hesitation.The speeds of both sides were about the same, they maintained a distance of five kilometers, and launched a pursuit battle one after the other.Since they could only shoot with the front main gun, Urakaze received much less pressure from the shelling, but they still didn't dare to neglect, and rushed towards the west at a faster speed.

Because of the strict order of radio silence, Kanji Kato did not know that his own destroyer had been discovered at this time, and he still led the combined fleet to sail forward steadily.Seeing that halfway through the Yizhou Strait, Kanji Kato became more and more relaxed.When the Yizhou Strait is completely crossed, Hangzhou Bay will not be far away. There will be the famous industrial zone of Hualan Kingdom and the largest shipbuilding base in the Western Special Zone.As long as it is blown to nothing, the shipbuilding industry in the Western District will be set back by at least ten years.

Kato Kanji was planning the upcoming sneak attack, how to use aviation to bomb the warships in the opponent's naval port, and use the giant main gun on the Daiwa to turn Gwanghae City into a sea of ​​flames. The communications staff suddenly came over and "reported to the commander , The Urakaze was coming towards us, and it also played a semaphore, saying that it had spotted a destroyer of the Seat Navy at a distance of [-] kilometers.”

"What? It actually brought the destroyer of the Seat Navy, this idiot." Kanji Kato jumped out of his chair angrily.This damn radio silence rule prevented him from commanding the fleet as he wished, and the destroyer obviously didn't understand what he meant.

Destroyers thought that they would lure the enemy to the main fleet and let the fleet with large-caliber artillery deal with the enemy. This was also a common practice of various navies in the past.It's a pity that the captain of the Japanese army didn't expect how harmful such an approach would be after many upgrades of naval equipment.He would not know that it was because of his stupid behavior that he reversed the direction of the entire war and even led to the final defeat of the Wa Kingdom.

Kanji Kato didn't have much time to react. When they ordered the escorting destroyers and cruisers to send out a squadron to destroy the opponent's destroyers and keep them from approaching, the Longtuan had already appeared on the horizon.

Using the binoculars to see the fleet in front of him, Gao Yifeng was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect what kind of big fish he found.If this fleet passed through the Yizhou Strait without a sound, it would definitely cause great harm to the Western Special Zone, Gao Yifeng knew this very well.He immediately ordered the lookout post to count the number of opponents, and at the same time, the Long Tuan immediately turned around and ran away.

The Long Tuan's communication system had been damaged and it was unable to report to the main fleet, so Gao Yifeng had to rush back as soon as possible to inform Lin Jixun of the situation.Gao Yifeng's decisiveness allowed him to escape. It was precisely because the Longtuan turned to retreat early that it was not intercepted by the Japanese cruisers and destroyers that were chasing up.

Gao Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to order the destroyer to leave at full speed and head towards the fleet, there was a slight buzzing sound in the sky.Gao Yifeng raised his binoculars and saw that they were two seaplanes painted by Seatech Navy, gradually approaching at an altitude of several thousand meters.

The United Fleet of Japan also spotted the plane in the sky at the same time, and Kanji Kato soon heard the urgent shout of the lookout post: "Sitt army plane, there is an enemy aircraft carrier near us." Then the face of the lookout post sailors changed Now, in the Japanese Navy, the planes of the West Special Army are things that change faces.

Hearing the warning from the lookout post, Kanji Kato raised his binoculars and looked at the control. He frowned and stopped immediately: "What are you panicking about? It's just a seaplane. The cruisers of the Seat Navy are equipped, and the aircraft carrier is not Equipped with this aircraft."

Kanji Kato immediately stopped the riot, and then he said to the communications staff: "Order the Hosho to dispatch several fighter jets and shoot down the enemy planes."

The order was quickly transmitted to the Fengxiang aircraft carrier. After the ground crew was busy for a while, six Type [-] carrier-based fighter jets soared into the sky and rushed towards the two West Army seaplanes.Because of the stimulation of the last naval battle, Japan's armament development speed has been much faster than in history. This biplane fighter, which was supposed to be on board in [-], entered active service two years in advance.

The first thousand and forty-nine chapters line up to take off

Although the Type [-] carrier-based aircraft is a biplane, it has a speed of [-] kilometers per hour and two [-] mm caliber machine guns.Although there is still a gap compared to the world's first-class carrier-based aircraft, it is already the best fighter that the Japanese army can produce.

The Fengxiang aircraft carrier that followed the United Fleet this time was the first official aircraft carrier launched in Japan in [-]. Because its displacement is only about [-] tons, it is all equipped with fighter jets and used as an escort aircraft carrier.After the discovery of the West Army reconnaissance plane, the dispatched interception force was naturally undertaken by the escort aircraft carrier.

When six fighter jets were found to take off from the aircraft carrier, the pilots of the two seaplanes knew that the other party was going to intercept them.In the short period of time just now, they had roughly figured out the other party's situation, so they turned around and ran away when they saw the other party take off in pursuit.

Because the lower part of the plane was refitted with two large buoys, and a rear seat pilot was added, the speed of the two seaplanes refitted from the J-[-] was reduced to [-] kilometers per hour, which is already a certain gap with the Japanese fighter jets.When the Japanese fighter jets took off and chased after them, even though the two seaplanes turned around and ran away, they still couldn't get rid of each other's pursuit.

"Immediately pass the information to the fleet." The lead pilot was afraid that he would be shot down and the information could not be sent back, so he immediately asked the correspondent and machine gunner in the back seat to send back accurate enemy information as soon as possible.The backseat correspondent also knew that the situation was critical, and he immediately started sending a telegram, and the wingman did the same thing at the same time.

"Cormorant No. [-], I'm Cormorant No. [-], please answer." The lead pilot Liu Feng said, picking up the microwave communicator.

"I'm Cormorant No. [-], please tell me, the leader." Wingman pilot Fu Ming replied.

"Six enemy planes are approaching, and our speed is not fast enough to get rid of them. I think we can only turn around and attack, remember to maintain a good formation and follow me closely." Knowing that there is no way to escape, the lead plane simply stopped running.

"Cormorant No. [-], I think we will fly forward for a certain distance before fighting. This place is too close to the Japanese fleet, and we will be surrounded if the other side gets reinforcements." Wingman Fu Ming said.

"Alright, the other party is still some distance away from us, so let's lead them away from some hands-on operations, and let these rookies see what real flying is." The leader Liu Feng was obviously full of confidence, and he drove the plane gradually. Raising the height, we are now preparing for war.

Seeing the two seaplanes continue to climb, six Japanese fighter jets followed, and the eight planes gradually disappeared into the clouds, so that other people at sea could no longer see them.Gao Yifeng, who had been keeping an eye on the air combat situation, sighed. Now he is in danger, and he can't help the brother troops at all. It's better to run away.

Although it was hit by a shell by the Pufeng, the power plant was not damaged, which allowed the Longtuan to maintain the highest speed and return in the direction of the Sanya Squadron.

"I found the large fleet of the Japanese army, with a total of ten large warships, including three aircraft carriers, a number of cruisers and destroyers." Holding this telegram sent from the Sanya Squadron, Shen Shoukun trembled with excitement: "I finally found you, Japanese people. It's really cunning to run there, no wonder the seaplane can't be found."

"Yes, it seems that the decisive battle will be held as scheduled." Cai Tingqian laughed.

"Don't be too happy too early. After all, the opponent has already crossed half of the Yizhou Strait, and we are still far away in Keelung Port." The temporary commander-in-chief Shen Shoukun said: "The entire fleet is dispatched to meet the United Fleet of the Japanese Kingdom. Tell Lin Jixun that when the main fleet arrives Before, even if all his squadrons were wiped out, I would stop him and never let this big fish slip away again."

"Let us block the combined Japanese fleet? You really think highly of us." Liu Chuanshou looked at the telegram and laughed.

Lin Jixun's expression was serious: "In any case, this is the responsibility we must bear. Now that the position of the United Fleet of the Japanese Kingdom has been obtained, let's start."

"Understood, I will immediately order all the planes to take off." Liu Chuanshou nodded.

The deck of the Nanyuan became busy very quickly. Under the aircraft carrier combat system that the Seat Navy had explored for many years, all departments were able to carry out their work in an orderly manner.The torpedo planes and dive bombers quickly loaded their ammunition, and the fighter jets were already full of fuel and bombs.

After everything was ready, the green flag in the hands of the deck guide suddenly waved down, and the planes that were already ready to go quickly taxied on the deck.The leader of the wing, Zhao Xun, pushed the joystick first, and drove his Sea Battle Type 1 fighter across the runway. The fast-rotating three-bladed fixed-pitch propeller drove the lightweight fuselage across the deck quickly. When the plane was about to rush to the end of the deck, At that moment, Liu Xun lifted the nose lightly, and the plane spread its wings and soared into the sky.

All the planes are neatly arranged in groups of two on the deck, and fifty planes occupy almost half of the deck, so the fighter jets at the front only have half of the deck available.This arrangement is to allow the aircraft of the entire wing to take off and form formation as soon as possible to avoid waste of fuel.

This approach also has disadvantages, because the aircraft at the front can only rely on half of the deck to take off, and the take-off distance is greatly shortened.Fortunately, the Naval Combat Type 1 fighter equipped by the Seat Navy is powerful, and the world's first three-blade fixed-pitch propeller can provide enough pulling force, allowing the lightweight fighter to rise into the air with a runway of more than 50 meters.

After Liu Xun's fighter jet took off, one after another followed him and took off quickly. They quickly formed a formation in the air and flew towards the west.A large group of Seat naval planes is rapidly approaching, and in the air in the west of the Yizhou Strait, a small-scale air battle is going on.
