Chapter 1083： Find the enemy's aircraft carrier

"We must find the location of the American aircraft carrier." On the aircraft carrier Mizutsuru, Vice Admiral Takeo Takagi, who returned quickly, said to the person in front of him.

They are now in a twin aircraft carrier formation, Ruihe and Xianghe, both of which are the latest aircraft carriers in service in the island nation. These two aircraft carriers were ordered to blockade the Indian Ocean to deal with the remaining British navy. After receiving the order, they started from The Indian Ocean rushed back to the Pacific Ocean.

Now that they know that American aircraft carriers have appeared, they need to find American aircraft carrier formations!

Now, the sky outside is not very bright.

"Yes, we must find each other's aircraft carrier as soon as possible." Rear Admiral Chuichi Hara, who is in charge of aviation operations, said: "Now, we will take off six sets of carrier-based aircraft to search for the enemy in the sea ahead of us."

On the deck, the lights were brightly lit, and Captain Masao Sato was driving his own Zero Fighter, taking off quickly from the deck. Behind him, one zero battle took off.

Although it is still dark, when they fly over the sea where the target may be, the sky will be bright. The advantage of the long range of zero combat will have a great advantage in this kind of operation.

Twelve aircraft, divided into six groups, searched for the enemy within 250 nautical miles from 180 degrees to 270 degrees.

In this era, radar is still a luxury equipment with outdated technical performance. At sea, it can only search for tens of kilometers at most, which cannot satisfy the search for aircraft carrier formations.

Even Germany is now studying how to deploy radar to carrier-based aircraft to search for targets on the sea, even with miniaturized transistors. This is a very difficult task.

In fact, even in later generations, searching for the opponent’s aircraft carrier formation on the sea is a difficult problem.

In this era, there is no choice but to rely on the naked eye of the pilot!

Captain Masao Sato has rich experience. He has flown thousands of hours on the Zero Fighter, and twelve shots have been taken down. Now, he is driving the light zero combat, flying towards the opposite side according to the compass.

On the sea, it is easy to feel lonely. In addition to blue or blue, people will feel their own insignificance. However, as naval aviation, they have long been used to this kind of flight.

The opponent is also an aircraft carrier formation. In this kind of aircraft carrier duel, whoever can find the opponent first will have the advantage!

After continuing the flight for more than an hour, the sky had begun to brighten. Captain Masao Sato communicated with his wingman on the radio. The two were responsible for half of the airspace and began to observe.

Time passed by little by little. After half an hour, two targets appeared in Captain Masao Sato’s vision. In an instant, he became excited: "Found the target, aircraft carrier, cruiser, one each, on the 13th Sea! East longitude*, south latitude*."

In order to avoid irritating the opponent, Captain Masao Sato did not rush closer, but hid farther and went into the clouds to follow the opponent.

Right now, the opponent is sailing, and even one of the **** planes has not taken off. At this time, a sneak attack is the best way to get a good result. If he goes over and makes the opponent release the carrier-based aircraft, it will be detrimental to your own attack. .

Americans, as long as they are discovered by themselves, they will never escape!

Find the goal! After receiving the report of our own search for aircraft, the island carrier formation became busy in an instant.

"Speed ​​up, sail at full speed, and prepare to release the carrier-based aircraft!" Admiral Takagi Takeo shouted: "Fly 50 Stuka bombers, 20 Zero fighters, and launch an attack on American aircraft carriers!"

Hearing his words, Rear Admiral Tadaichi Hara couldn't help but stunned: "50? Will it be more? We deal with an aircraft carrier and a cruiser, and 10 Stukas are enough."

The Stuka bomber played a major role in the bombing of Pearl Harbor, which made the islanders very satisfied. Therefore, the islanders ordered a new batch of new ones to accelerate the elimination of the existing Type 97 and Type 99 ships. , They have already planned to use this bomber as their main navy bomber, and it is most appropriate to perform anti-ship missions.

The Ruihe and Xianghe are the latest aircraft carriers in service, with a full displacement of more than 30,000 tons. Each carrier is equipped with more than eighty fighters. The attack power is quite strong. This is also Takeo Takagi. The reason why the lieutenant admiral plans to fly 50 at a time.

He is the commander-in-chief of the fleet and has the right to decide. Now, he said to his commander: "There may be more warships hiding behind. We must kill them all at once!"

The navy of the island nation has strength. They must be deployed in large formations. They must send all the US aircraft carrier formations to the bottom of the sea!

Take off, take off!

The 8 slogan ship-based special-fired boilers began to burn at full power, and the steam pressure reached the maximum. The 4 ship-based steam turbines exploded with a powerful power of 160,000 horsepower The two aircraft carriers are very powerful. It quickly accelerated to 30 knots.

take off!

Having been lifted to the deck of the aircraft carrier by a lift, Captain Akira Sakamoto, the captain of the Stuka bomber, driving his own Stuka, was the first to leave the aircraft carrier and rushed towards the unavoidable direction.

On the Xianghe, carrier-based aircraft are also constantly taking off.

The two aircraft carriers quickly released 50 Stukas and 20 zero battles, forming a large fleet, and rushing toward the target 300 kilometers away!

Under Captain Akira Sakamoto’s plane, the most expensive PC1000RS bomb was hung. In the Pearl Harbor attack, this bomb has proven to be a very effective weapon, enough to kill a large battleship with one!

At the same time, this kind of weapon imported from Germany is also quite expensive and must be cherished and used. Therefore, only four of the fifty Stukas were equipped with this type of bomb this time. They were specifically designed to bomb the United States. Even the 10,000-ton-class warships prepared by the aircraft carrier could not be seen by them, and they could be sunk by the 500kg bombs mounted by ordinary Stuka.

The flight was boring, but fortunately, it didn't take long before the goal finally appeared.

The other party still has no response, this is the best opportunity for one's own attack!

Once again, the incomparable insurance was lifted, and the flying Captain Akira Sakamoto had already entered the path of attack. The propellers of his fighter plane were spinning fast, and the wings of seagulls were inverted, so spectacular.

Closer, closer, suddenly, Lieutenant Akira Sakamoto rubbed his eyes, as if he didn't believe his 5.0 eyesight, he looked at it again and was finally sure.

"Not an aircraft carrier, but a tanker!" Captain Akira Sakamoto pulled up his plane and withdrew from the attack route. ()
