Cunningham's long-awaited deduction was finally held as scheduled, after the two sides entered the deduction venue, Deng Shichang and Thomas entered the director's office to watch the deduction after some unnutritious politeness, while Cunningham and Potter played against the Chinese side led by Ye Ming, and the two sides began to engage on the chessboard, on the rectangular chessboard, the British fleet entered the warring sea from the southwest corner, and the Huaxia Navy entered the warring sea from the northeast corner.

"Huaxia actually uses a two-aircraft carrier formation? They put the large aircraft carrier Liaoning and the medium-sized aircraft carrier Jiangsu into one team, aren't they afraid of being put in one pot? Thomas, who was sitting in the director's department, was taken aback by the fleet formation of the Huaxia Navy at the beginning, and he really couldn't understand why the other party would arrange it like this. However, the good cultivation still made him suppress the doubts in his heart, Thomas then picked up a document, which wrote the military strength table of the Huaxia Navy in this exercise, and soon, he found another problem.

The number of fighters in the Huaxia Navy actually accounted for half of the total! Among them, on the large aircraft carrier Liaoning were 40 fighters, 30 dive bombers and 30 plus torpedo aircraft. On the medium aircraft carrier Jiangsu, there were 40 fighters, 10 dive bombers and 10 torpedo planes. In comparison, the total number of fighters in the British fleet was only 50! The other side has nearly 6 percent more fighters! Although Thomas did not know much about aircraft carrier operations...... However, after a few days of contact, he could also feel that the opponent's sea attack power mainly came from the large aircraft carrier Liaoning, while the attack aircraft on the Jiangsu were only enough for one wave at most. "What do they want to do?" Thomas was a little puzzled..........

Soon the two fleets began to deploy, the British fleet divided into two groups, 100 kilometers away from each other, and then, according to the predetermined plan, the USS Fury aircraft carrier battle group released 12 reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter within 90 degrees of the front, of which the longest reconnaissance distance reached 400 kilometers. Meanwhile. The aircraft on board the Fury were fully refurbished, with 15 fighters, 15 dive bombers, and 15 torpedo planes on deck ready to strike. Soon. After half an hour (the drill time is directly converted to the real time in a ratio of 1 to 10. That's 3 minutes of real time. The aircraft carrier Eagle released the first batch of 15 carrier-based aircraft for reconnaissance and fleet air defense. At the same time, the deck continued to rearmament of the second wave of reconnaissance aircraft.

The Huaxia Navy also made corresponding actions, 16 seaplanes were released to carry out reconnaissance missions, and the aircraft carrier Liaoning also made preparations for attack, and its arrangements were exactly the same as those of the British Navy. And 10 dive bombers were released on board the Jiangsu for reconnaissance missions, and then 14 aircraft were released for fleet air defense! Seeing this, Thomas's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and he seemed to understand the purpose of the Huaxia Navy's arrangement, the Jiangsu aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier specially used for air defense and reconnaissance. There are 40 fighters on board the Jiangsu, which is enough for reconnaissance and self-defense, and according to the regulations of the exercise, the preparation time and take-off distance of the fighters are superior to those of attack planes, and the number of fighters that can be used in a unit of time is certainly more than that of attack planes. And on the Eagle aircraft carrier, because the proportion of fighters is too low. This led to the need for a mix of fighter and attack aircraft for reconnaissance missions. And if you let a large-load attack aircraft take off, it will naturally occupy a longer runway, so there will be fewer aircraft that can take off and land in a wave..........

Perhaps theoretically both sides should be the same, and some "smart" people can also come up with countermeasures, for example, a medium aircraft carrier can take off 24 aircraft. Among them, 20 fighters can take off, and then 4 attack aircraft can also get the same number of releases as the number of Huaxia, but in fact. Who would dare to send all their fighters out? If the Eagle needs to attack, won't the attack aircraft formation send fighters to cover it? (Of course, there have been outlaw assaults in history, but no one dares to take this risk in the exercise deduction, especially in the current situation.) Don't you need fighter protection over your own aircraft carrier? Therefore, the final result was that the composition of the first wave of reconnaissance aircraft by the British was 5 fighters and 10 attack aircraft, of which the fighters were loaded with fleet air defense, and the number of attack aircraft was close to the specified limit, and the total amount of aircraft released was far from reaching the upper limit of the deck. Resulting in a waste of aviation capabilities. …。

"The torpedo planes on the Jiangsu aircraft carrier are more like decorations, I took a look at the briefing. Most of the attack aircraft were placed in the lower hangar, which seemed to be difficult to use. Thomas said to Deng Shichang on the side. You're right. Mr. Admiral, these aircraft are called supplementary aircraft in the Chinese naval aviation. Deng Shichang replied with a smile, giving him an ambiguous answer, as for what is a supplementary machine and what they do, Deng Shichang did not give any explanation.........

The two sides are like hunters in the dark night carefully searching for each other's traces, with the advance of the fleet, the direct distance between the two sides is constantly changing, but the first wave of search did not get results, according to the world of exercises, the day of the first day of the battle ended quickly, and after releasing three waves of reconnaissance planes in a row, they failed to find each other's traces, because the two sides did not go straight to the middle of the battlefield, only fools would be like this, both sides are constantly changing their tracks, one will sail to the northeast, and the other will turn to the southwest...... In less than 2 hours, the direction was changed again, but due to the limitations of the venue, the two sides were still slowly approaching.

"Starting the next day, please get ready." When the director announced that the night was over, the Huaxia fleet changed again, and the 8 destroyers thought about the external movement and spread out in a fan shape, each destroyer was directly separated by 15 kilometers, and the scattered destroyers were directly separated from the main fleet by 20 kilometers, like an open umbrella shrouded in the direction of the fleet. In this way, a warning line of nearly 100 kilometers long appeared in front of us, so that even if the Chinese Navy was attacked by a sneak attack, it would have a certain warning time, after all, it was possible to detect a large group of aircraft 15 kilometers away through a telescope from the mast. The reconnaissance planes of both sides continued to reconnoitre, although the number of reconnaissance planes on both sides was similar, but because the British fleet carried out reconnaissance from two points, its coverage area was much larger than that of Huaxia, (of course, for reconnaissance range, Huaxia's reconnaissance density was greater.) ）。 …。

"Luck is on our side this time!" Whether you can find the other party first at sea really depends on luck. However, this time the British seemed to be lucky, the seaplanes departing from the Fury aircraft carrier battle group discovered the cordons arranged by Huaxia on the periphery, while the Eagle aircraft carrier readjusted the direction of the reconnaissance planes according to the orientation information provided by the Fury, preparing to find the main fleet hiding behind.

At the same time, Huaxia also discovered the British's reconnaissance plane, but Ye Ming, as the commander-in-chief of the fleet, was not nervous, because he knew that the other party was a single aircraft carrier battle group, and at present, he had only discovered his own cordon, and did not know the location of his fleet. When the officer on the side asked him why he concluded that the British Navy was a single-aircraft carrier battle group, Ye Ming replied like this: "Because their number of reconnaissance planes is not enough, after we found the reconnaissance plane dangling near the cordon and shot it down, no new planes appeared in our field of vision for a whole hour. And if it follows our arrangement. This situation is impossible to happen, although our reconnaissance planes are in two groups, but there must be other planes about 50 kilometers away from the seaplane, and the other side has not connected for a whole hour, then it can only mean that the other side's reconnaissance planes are not enough! ”。 …。

Although Huaxia failed to discover the location of the opponent's plane, Ye Ming already knew the general direction of the opponent, and the entire fleet immediately adjusted its course and headed towards the place where the British seaplane had just been discovered. And the British suddenly found that their first-mover advantage did not seem to be as great as they imagined, because they only knew the location of the opponent's cordon for a short time, and could not implement stable tracking, after the seaplane was shot down, God knows which way the Chinese navy moved during this time! And if the opponent is traveling at full speed, he can run at least 45 kilometers in an hour! Cunningham, aware of the crisis, immediately rearranged the reconnaissance aircraft and began to concentrate the search in the target area. At the same time, the deck of the Eagle began to prepare for attack waves, and 12 fighters and 12 attack planes were parked on the deck ready to attack. …。

At this time, Thomas in the director's department can understand the overall situation of the battlefield, and Thomas, who has opened the perspective of God, is full of clouds. At this time, the Huaxia fleet is only 350 kilometers away from the Fury aircraft carrier battle group, and the two sides are almost on opposite courses, which means that in a maximum of 2 hours, the two sides will enter their respective strike ranges, and under the high-density reconnaissance of Huaxia, in 2 hours, the Fury has no possibility of escaping, unless it turns around and escapes immediately...... On the other hand, the Eagle aircraft carrier battle group is 400 kilometers away from the other side, and the two sides will enter the engagement distance for about 3 hours at most, which means that even if the Fury will send information to the high-speed Eagle aircraft carrier battle group as soon as it discovers the Huaxia fleet, then it may also cause the Eagle aircraft carrier to still be unable to reach the opponent, so that the battle may become a tactical ......... to add fuel.

As the minutes ticked by. The Fury aircraft carrier battle group finally met with the Huaxia fleet, and this time, the encounter was no longer to discover the other side, but to be discovered by multiple reconnaissance planes at the same time, so that even if the other side dispatched fighters in charge of air defense to drive them away, it would be difficult to interfere with the enemy's continuous tracking. That is to say, at this time, the reconnaissance planes of both the Chinese and the British can guide their own attack aircraft groups to attack! At the same time, the layout of the British also affirmed Ye Ming's speculation, the British used the aircraft carrier fleet separately! And they currently have only one aircraft carrier Fury in front of them, and it is not clear where the other aircraft carrier is! But it doesn't matter, for Ye Ming, let's sink what is in front of you first.
