Since entering the Philippine Islands, Kim Bikuan's second aircraft carrier fleet has been stationed at the Davao Military Port in Mindanao, except for the last time it entered the Banda Sea to teach the Americans a little move.

Their main task was to assist Liu Zhiliang's Third Division in controlling the South Pacific, and the combat target was Ozawa Jizaburo's Third Fleet on the Palau Islands.

The second aircraft carrier fleet has 1 Guanghui-class aircraft carrier, with the port number Daqin 802; carrying 72 J-9, 4 anti-submarine helicopters, and 2 air command helicopters; Self-defense anti-aircraft firepower is 72 six-barreled 30mm phalanx and 48 quadruple 40mm anti-aircraft guns.

There were 2 Yamato-class battleships, with the ship numbers Dahan 903 and 904. Bai Shujie upgraded the firepower layout according to the layout of the former Soviet Varyag heavy cruiser and turned it into a huge iron hedgehog.

For each battleship, a triple 406mm main gun is retained in front of the main control tower in the middle of the foredeck, and four quadruple missile launchers are arranged in a stepped manner on both sides of the deck, which can launch 32 missiles at a time with a range of 120 nautical miles; There are 64 spare missiles in two groups, and a total of 96 missiles are carried.

On the aft deck, a triple 388mm secondary gun was retained, and two 36-barrel rocket launchers with a range of 24 nautical miles were mounted. In addition, 24 quadruple 40mm anti-aircraft guns, 36 six-barreled 30mm phalanxes, and 4 Crazy Dragon anti-submarine helicopters were installed.

As a peripheral escort, the Second Fleet also has four North Korean-class cruisers, numbered Datang 203, 204, 205, and 206, each carrying one anti-submarine helicopter; 2 Somes-class destroyers, with the ship numbers Daming 305 and 306.

In addition, there is also a White Shark submarine formation at the Davao Military Port, and the six submarines go out in two shifts to undertake the reconnaissance and blockade mission in the eastern waters, with the task of fighting guerrilla warfare and cleaning up the enemy's submarines.

After attending the operational meeting of the General Headquarters, the only latest news that Jin Bikuan got was that Ozawa Jizaburo had 7 aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, 5 heavy cruisers, 16 destroyers, and 12 submarines on the Palau Islands, and his overall strength was six times stronger than his own.

The 7 aircraft carriers of the little devils carried more than 400 attack aircraft and torpedo planes. Although the performance is not good, there are only 72 J-9 fighters in its own.

Jin Bikuan knows the truth that heroes can't stand the crowd, but he knows even more about the rules and regulations of military orders.

Bai Shujie gave an order, and Jin Bikuan naturally pulled out the anchor and set sail at half past three in the afternoon, killing the Palau Islands, 550 nautical miles to the east, to wrestle with Ozawa Jizaburo to see who was afraid of whom.

In fact, starting from the Rehe Front, the later Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force, and now the Lanfang Liberation Army, there have never been generals who are afraid of little devils, and Jin Bikuan is certainly not afraid.

Not being scared doesn't mean that you won't be worried, Jin Bikuan was very worried as soon as he set off.

There are two main problems that Jin Bikuan is most worried about:

The first is that his boss Bai Shujie's family is very small, unlike the little devil aircraft carriers, which have dozens of aircraft carriers, twenty or thirty battleships, and even more cruisers and destroyers.

In case his second fleet is destroyed, the boss Bai Shujie will have a lot less cards in his hand, and he is afraid that he will not be able to play next, and he will suffer heavy losses.

The second worry, and what Jin Bikuan is most worried about, is that he will not be able to complete the campaign goal of the boss Bai Shujie. It doesn't matter if you die, if it affects the outcome of the entire battle, you will be a sinner in the Lanfang Republic.

These people followed the boss Bai Shujie and the little devil to play for their lives, and they never thought that they could create a new world by themselves.

Now that he has become the master of a country, holding the lifeblood of the country in his hands, Jin Bikuan feels that the responsibility on his shoulders is much heavier than ever.

Jin Bikuan knew that this was the first time that the navy had gone abroad to fight since the establishment of the Lanfang Republic. That is, to keep the enemy out of the country and indirectly support the construction of the country.

Success, not failure!

Thirty nautical miles from the military port, Jin Bikuan had already ordered the formation to be formed, and all the antisubmarine helicopters took turns to serve as antisubmarine patrols in accordance with the grouping of the original exercise, opening the way for the entire fleet.

The triangular arrows that serve as the vanguard of the fleet are a destroyer as a spearhead, and a cruiser on the left and right flanks behind it.

They were followed by aircraft carriers, and on the left and right flanks were battleships providing strong fire protection. Behind the palace is another to a triangular arrow, consisting of a destroyer and two cruisers.

Such a diamond-shaped fleet has a length of 20 nautical miles in front and rear, a width of 10 nautical miles in left and right, and four anti-submarine helicopters are always circling on the sea surface in the four directions of southeast, south, and north, and are rushing towards the vast sea to the east at an average speed of 36 knots.

Four hours later, when the sun had lost its last rays and the vast sea fell into darkness, Jin Bikuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only by entering the dark state can the advantages of one's own fleet be brought into full play, that is, the search radar system, which is much more powerful than the enemy, can grasp the movement of the surrounding 108 nautical miles, and the combat reaction distance is 72 nautical miles, which the little devil cannot do at all.

With a small number of people, there is simply no better way than to launch a surprise attack.

If you want to launch a surprise attack, you must do it in the dark.

So Jin Bikuan now wishes that the sun would never rise. At least until you take out the enemy yourself, the sun would do well to take a holiday.

Along the way, it took a cautious look and saw that by three o'clock in the morning, the fleet had been on the sea for 12 hours, and was less than 150 nautical miles away from the enemy.

However, this distance is still too far, and its own radar cannot detect the enemy's military port, so it must reduce the distance between the two sides to within 100 nautical miles in order to give full play to the role of radar.

At 5:30 a.m. on November 27, 1943, the Second Fleet was less than 50 nautical miles from the main island of the Palau archipelago.

The radar has already displayed the appearance of the entire island on the screen, the yellow-green lines are clear, and the anchor position of the enemy warship has been fully displayed.

"Attention to all positions of the fleet: the battleship rocket artillery is immediately ready for launch, the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns and phalanx are all open, and the first formation of carrier-based aircraft is in a state of take-off."

Jin Bikuan had just given his first combat order when a huge roar suddenly appeared in the sky.

The moment he heard the roar, he quickly turned his head to look at the sky, and then he knew that he was worried, because a large black crow had already appeared in the night sky and swept overhead and pounced on the island in front of him.

"The battleships of the formation immediately slowed down and held three knots! The battleships of the formation immediately slowed down and held three knots! Our bombers have passed, beware of bombing by mistake! ”

Jin Bikuan found that his fleet was already too far ahead, in case it was boiled by his own bombers, and he didn't know what to say when he saw the old Hades in the Hades Palace.

"Oh, my God!" Seeing that his fleet had all stopped, Jin Bikuan finally wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "The boss is too much, in order to ensure the effect of the surprise attack, he is worried about being monitored and leaked by the enemy, so he actually keeps his own people in the dark." ”

"02 formation control zhì tai, 02 formation control zhì tai, I am Xu Shijie, commander-in-chief of the air formation, please answer when you hear it!"

As soon as Jin Bikuan heard the voice of Xu Shijie, deputy commander of the Air Force, he quickly grabbed the microphone and scolded: "Xu Shijie, what the fuck are you doing, Lao Tzu's flagship Dahan 903 is under your ass, you must pay attention to the object of fucking shit!" ”

Xu Shijie said with a smile: "That's right under Lao Tzu's ass, Lao Tzu has seen you a long time ago, and I can't contact you because of the silence of the radio." I would like to inform you that two naval special operations teams have been sent by the Ghost Formation to the Palau Islands and the northern side of Colonia. ”

After the bomber group returned from its mission, the two regiments of Geng Fengbiao's naval special operations group were responsible for landing operations and seizing control of the entire archipelago. Your job is to keep an eye on the perimeter and be ready to provide fire support to the Navy Special Operations Team. In particular, pay attention to the direction of the Marshall Islands in the southeast to prevent reinforcements from Yamamoto's 56th Division. ”

Jin Bikuan saw the explosions and fires constantly appearing in the northeast direction, but he didn't hear the slightest sound, so he was a little strange: "Xu Shijie, what the hell are you bastards: there is only explosion and fire in front, there is no explosion sound, and you don't see the enemy ship being hit by a bullet and igniting a fire, did you fucking not hit the target?" ”

Xu Shijie in the earpiece also scolded: "You are a fucking hillbilly, and you are not prepared to hit the target today, because all the bombs exploded fifty meters in the air." If the target is hit, Lao Tzu will be dealt with by the boss's military law when he goes home, understand? ”

Jin Bikuan finally understood: "I cāo! You guys are really rich today, and all the shots are killer weapons. In that case, today's battle is over, and you're going to have to fucking ss a fart! ”

"Cloudburst pops out of your hand, it will only kill people and won't destroy equipment. What do you do with so much equipment? You won't let Lao Tzu send someone down, right? Lao Tzu has a radish and a pit here, but there are no extra people for you. ”

Xu Shijie in the air finally began to be serious: "Lao Jin, you must pay close attention to the changes in the enemy situation in the south and east, and after dawn, you will send three fighter formations to cruise 24 hours a day." ”

"Convey the boss's order: The Palau Islands Military Port is the anchorage of your Second Fleet, that is, your base, hurry up and take care of your nest. From today onwards, the Palau archipelago is the eastern gate of our Republic of Lanfang. Whoever dares to take half a step will be annihilated on the spot. ”

"As for the naval equipment in the Palau and Colonia Islands, there are special people who come to receive it at nine o'clock. After that, a new fleet will be reorganized on the spot and stationed here with you, with you as commander-in-chief for the time being. ”

"For a period of time in the future, you old Jin will be angry, there is a huge formation under your hands, and an independent division will come up to coordinate the defense. In our Lanfang People's Liberation Army, that's really shell-the only one. Ha ha! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
