It was not until the two sides were about to meet that Huaxia revealed its naval plan to the United States and Britain, and the Huaxia Navy actually took the initiative to attack and fight the Germans at their peak, and the United States and Britain were naturally very happy and said that they would fully cooperate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 √□ also dispatched liaison officers to coordinate the communication between the Huaxia Fleet and the six-base air forces of the United States and Britain.

Although the forces of the United States and Britain were limited and scattered, in line with the principle that no matter how small the mosquito's legs were, they were meat, and Huaxia asked the British and American air forces in Ceylon to provide cover and reconnaissance for Huaxia, and after the battle was over, the remaining Huaxia fleet would retreat into Ceylon's air defense circle. And the sea area where China and Germany were at war was also set at a place about 3oo nautical miles southeast of Ceylon!

This position is very particular, it is impossible to get too close to Ceylon, the Germans can go around, and too far is not good, because the German fleet consumed a lot of fuel in this operation, and the fuel reserves of the transport ships that followed the fleet's actions are also very limited, so it is impossible to go around indefinitely, the Germans can only choose to avoid the opponent's shore-based aviation forces as far as possible, and this distance node is here!

In other words, Count Spee has chosen a safe way back as much as possible in the case of limited fuel, the Germans have determined the location and area of the battle, and as the party that controls the information, the Huaxia Navy can choose to attack the German fleet at a certain point in time!

"Even if we have submarines approaching the main fleet of Huaxia again, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the information out, long-wave communication is jammed and suppressed, and short-wave communication distance is limited, we know that there is a giant beast in ambush in the surrounding waters, waiting for the prey to come to the door, but we can't know the opponent's location and shooting time, this is undoubtedly the worst situation!" A look of anxiety appeared on Earl Spee's face.

At this time, the Allied fleet was on the edge of the opponent's interception line, and if it could cross this area, the Allied fleet could get rid of the opponent's tracking and obtain the support of the air force in the Middle East. This is where the opponent's last chance to intercept is here. And I will definitely make a deal with myself in these two days!

The Germans constantly sent reconnaissance planes to search within a range of 4oo kilometers around, but the effect was very bad, many long-range reconnaissance planes were destroyed by Mosquito fighters or Foxbat fighters flying from Ceylon, and even fast double reconnaissance planes carrying radars were difficult to determine whether the echo signal on the radar screen was a fleet or a transport fleet! Unless approaching for reconnaissance. But unfortunately, often a close reconnaissance means a test of life and death!

There are a lot of suspected targets, but after repeated screening, they are all eliminated one by one! "It is simply impossible for the Chinese fleet to be within 35o kilometers around us, within this range. Nearly a hundred reconnaissance aircraft of various types in the fleet have been screened countless times. There could be no problem! Raeder threw the pencil and said very decisively. And his opinion was soon telegraphed to the Count of Spee.

"They're about to attack, and we don't know where the opponent is! It's quite an irony! Through the porthole, the Count saw a silver-white plane flying proudly over his head! This fast long-range reconnaissance aircraft, which the Germans called the Swift, is a new product of Huaxia! Using piston propellers and jet motors, the big guys with a body size of HE177 actually fly faster than that! These things seem to know that the Germans can't do anything about them, so they are more and more arrogant! And today, it seems, the number of planes overhead is somewhat too much ?! Frequent radio communications unnerved Count Spee, and his instincts told him that the next few hours would decide the life and death of the Confederate fleet!

"The target bearing has been determined, and it is a little further away about 47o kilometers northeast of us. However, with a well-developed navigation system, this is not a big problem. After the release of the attack group, the fleet will move to the northwest, and if all goes well, the fleet will receive the returning group at point B! Ye Ming said with the plan he had just made. Our fuel can also support operations at such a distance, and it is absolutely impossible for the Germans to maintain a high cruising at such a distance with a long-range attack. In the case of a bomb, even the theoretical range is not enough to fly a round trip. ”

"What if the Germans' single attack aircraft carried both drop tanks and bombs?" Su Mo asked.

"Naturally, this is possible. But only if they were prepared, which the German Navy did not seem to have done in the past. And in actual combat, the route they take will be a broken line. The range may not be sufficient. In short, it is theoretically possible to meet the conditions, but in practice it is difficult. Ye Ming said very easily.

"And after we have completed the task of releasing carrier-based aircraft, the fleet will gradually move away from the target, in an hour. We will be more than 5oo kilometers away from the Germans in a straight line! As time goes by, the distance will be farther away. Even if the Germans were able to show us, there would only be a handful of twin attack aircraft and fighters that could fly above us! The range of all single attack aircraft may not be enough! Another aviation commander said. ■ elegant ◆ small ▼ △ said ◆

"Let's get started! After a lapse of 35 years, I hope that the performance of our generation of the Chinese Navy will not disgrace our predecessors! Su Mo said. Accompanied by the issuance of the order to attack. The 24 aircraft carriers of the combined Chinese-Italian fleet began to enter the headwind direction to release carrier-based aircraft groups! With the roar of thousands of high-power engines, accompanied by the orders and commands of ground crews, the Huaxia Navy once again showed its amazing combat effectiveness! The densely packed aircraft fleet on the deck and the aircraft carrier carrying the aircraft group are the most powerful striking force at sea in this era! His hard blow will shock and tremble the world!

At the front were the fighters responsible for cover, then the twin Ichthyosaurus attack aircraft, and finally the single Sky Raider attack aircraft. The composition of the various detachments is also different, and the first and second aircraft carrier detachments are the main forces of the attack. The six municipality-class aircraft carriers released more than 7 percent of the Ichthyosaur twin attack aircraft and about 6 percent of the Sky Raider attack aircraft. The six provincial-level armored aircraft carriers are responsible for releasing another 3 percent of the Ichthyosaur attack aircraft and about 3 percent of the sky raiders. The group of attack aircraft released by the two aircraft carrier formations accounted for about 9 percent of the attack force of the first wave! A total of 22o Ichthyosaur attack aircraft and 2oo Sky Raider attack aircraft were released.

The third and fourth aircraft carrier battle groups are responsible for releasing fighters, and the eight aircraft carriers have released a total of more than 32o Skua 3 fighters, plus the number of fighters released by the first and second aircraft carrier formations, a total of about 5oo fighters have been lifted into the air. Together with the electronic warfare planes and other aircraft released by the Italian Navy, a total of nearly 1,000 aircraft of various kinds took off in the air within an hour, and then completed the reorganization and formed a huge formation that stretched for more than ten kilometers, and with the help of the guide aircraft, flew to the German fleet 47o kilometers away! The long-accumulating Huaxia Navy finally delivered this fatal blow!

"What is this? It's horrible! "Not long after the Huaxia fleet was dispatched, a purpose-built ocean-going patrol plane accidentally appeared like a city wall moving as quickly as a group! It must be said that the Germans were very well prepared. They even carried large seaplane carriers! This aircraft is one of the large twin aircraft equipped with both sea and air search radars. Due to errors in the judgment of the attack range and electronic interference, the plane was never able to find the Huaxia fleet 8o kilometers away from it. But fortunately, they have a fleet of aircraft taking off from the aircraft carrier! The sheer size of the fleet shocked the self-proclaimed well-informed German Navy. Even fear!

"It's a real wall! The opponent's fleet is distributed from an altitude of 7ooo meters to an altitude of 45oo meters, spanning a vertical distance of nearly 3 kilometers, and the wings of the fleet are spread out for 2o kilometers, and the depth of the entire fleet is estimated to be about 1o kilometers! The opponent's formation is relatively scattered, and the movement is not fast. But it gives the feeling that it can crush everything. I hid in the clouds and watched my opponent closely. They are flying in the direction where the fleet is located. And just when I was shocked by this spectacular and terrifying scene, the plane's radar suddenly reacted! ”

"Oh God! Could it be that the American fleet came to the Indian Ocean? When did they get here bypassing the Horn of Africa? This is an absolute delusion! "A fleet large enough to rival the combined fleet of the Entente and the Allied fleets gradually appeared before the Germans! The huge fleet, which stretched for more than a dozen nautical miles, sailed northwest like a steel floating city. Fortunately, the Germans finally showed their target, and unfortunately, the Germans now seem to have a hard time striking at this target effectively! The distance between the other party is too far, and the scale is a bit unimaginable!

However, the long-range reconnaissance plane nevertheless informed the German fleet of the location of the Huaxia fleet before it was shot down. Now, the last trace of the fog of war has completely disappeared with the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and both know each other's positions, and it is almost a fight!

"Huaxia's tactics are still conservative, they have expanded the attack range, and this distance is already the theoretical edge of our aircraft attack. Only fighters with auxiliary fuel tanks and twin attack aircraft can reach it, and the JU9O and attack aircraft are only theoretically capable of attacking, in fact, I personally and my colleagues in the aviation group do not think that a single attack aircraft will have a good effect. The commander in charge of aviation suggested with a slightly embarrassed face.

"In fact, the range of the Chinese Skua fighters is also far and limited compared to ours, so they choose to attack at such a long distance, so the cruise must be reduced, and we have at least an hour and a half to prepare. After unleashing the first wave of attacks, we have enough time left to unleash all of our air supremacy fighters! Raeder added.

Well, now all the information that can be provided is on the table, just waiting for Count Spee to make a decision! "The fighter unit and the twin attack aircraft unit carried out the attack according to the predetermined plan. All attack aircraft canceled the attack. After takeoff, drop the bomb and perform the air supremacy mission. The Count pondered for a moment and made the most correct choice in this situation!

Since the range of a single plane is not enough, and barely flying over it will also drag down the cruise of the attack group, then don't go! The air defense of the Huaxia fleet can be described as completely terrifying, whether it is a ferocious Skua fighter or a radio proximity shell against the sky, it is a nightmare for a single attack aircraft! Not to mention. At least 60 percent of the German fleet's attack power came from the fleet's twin aircraft and guided bombs. The absence of a single attack aircraft did not have a very significant impact on the attack power.

On the contrary, these attack planes also possessed a certain air combat capability, and the strength of this wave of attacks in China was undoubted, with more quantity and quality than the German fleet, and the Germans could not even block their own attacks. How can you do it without doing your best in the face of the attack of the Chinese naval aviation? As a result, Count Spee decisively implemented the optimal allocation of resources, concentrated on defense, and the fleet began to change formations, in addition to the Earl's direct fleet, the remaining 4 fleets blocked the direction of the opponent's attack, and a defensive barrier composed of aircraft and anti-aircraft artillery began to gradually rise!

Hundreds of fighters were released by aircraft carriers sailing against the wind, and they hovered over the heads of aircraft carriers and flew to their targets under the guidance of the fleet's air defense system. The Confederate fleet has erected its strongest shields to meet this slow but deadly onslaught! The collision of two of the most powerful sea forces on the planet is inevitable, and the god of war has put the two sides on opposite ends of the scale, and the situation in the Indian Ocean, and even the whole world, will be known in 3 hours!

"This is destined to be a bitter battle, the German fleet will suffer heavy losses, and today, many of our comrades-in-arms may not be able to return alive!" When the pilot group saw the German fighter unit like a swarm of bees, Major Zhao Side, the commander of the pilot group, said with a wry smile. The Chinese naval aviation does have a qualitative advantage, and even the quality of the pilots is somewhat stronger than that of the Germans, who have been replaced by two and a half years.

But....... But there are too many planes on the other side! As a rough estimate, the current enemy has at least 3 brigades and nearly 3oo fighters! And now there are still 15o kilometers from the German fleet! 15o km! Enough for the Germans to deploy several more interception nets! The Germans won't be, all the fighters are discharged! "Alright, brothers, prepare to meet the enemy!" Zhao Side ordered, and at the same time he also prayed for himself and the attack aircraft brothers behind him, wishing them good luck!
