Tune the Pacific

Chapter 613 Wanli Iron Pliers 6

14:40.

The heavy aircraft carrier Xiqin in the Gulf of Panama, 310 kilometers off the sea.

Fang Lan looked up at the flagship flag flying on the top of the island. An hour ago, after the commander of the season boarded the Western Qin with the fleet staff, the flag rose. Seeing the flag, all the officers and soldiers of the Western Qin were full of pride. Except for the temporary gangster fleet dedicated to attacking the enemy with aircraft carriers, this is The three major fleets of the empire used aircraft carriers as flagships for the first time, which means that the aircraft carrier, which has just emerged for less than half a year, has conquered everyone and has become the core force of the fleet.

Although they have not been ordered, the deck is already busy. After the two overlapping dragon teeth were slowly lifted onto the deck by the elevator, the aircrew immediately pushed them to the stern take-off assembly point, and then slowly stuffed the thick "fish bone" that had already been prepared into the belly of the plane with a cart.

The Dongqi, which is not far from

, is relatively idle, because the deck needs to be freed up for the Bumblebee combat/reconnaissance aircraft to take off and land, so it can only work in a very small place around the island.

Standing in the special command center on the second floor of the island for the first time, Ji Rushan withdrew his eyes after seeing the smooth landing of the two scout bumblebees: "Haven't you found the main force of the United States yet?"

"no." Lin Tai once shook his head: "The seaplane sent by the light patrol has searched the depths of the Gulf of Panama, and has not found Andrew's main shadow, will it?"

"No! I'm sure he's around!"

Ji Rushan affirmed: "I met Andrew when I visited the United States a few years ago. He is not that kind of hesitant person. If he doesn't want to fight, he will not come out at all. Since he comes out, he must be determined to fight this battle. And don't forget that Panama's strategic position is too important. Even if he doesn't want to fight, The U.S. Political Axe and the Admiralty will also force him to fight!"

"That's true. He dares to use the latest Nevada-class ships as bait to test our cards, and he doesn't use radio contact when he is about to fight. This person not only has the courage but also can endure."

"So, we must take this opportunity to kill him, otherwise it will be a scourge sooner or later!" Ji Rushan's eyes were cold. He walked to the chart and asked after looking at it for a while, "Have you searched Sevaco Island and Montiho Bay?"

"I have searched."

"What about Hiccaron Island?"

"I have also searched."

With the elimination of places that can be hidden one by one, Ji Rushan also feels a big head for a while. Where is Andrew with the main force? Is he so stupid that he thinks that four Nevadas can block four Hebei-class?

"Sonor, the general of the 11th Fleet reports that there are still 20 minutes to go to war. Do you want to send the ship?"

"No," Ji Rushan interrupted the staff and sneered, "One Mayo, four Nevadas, if I can't even do this, I'm really going to be blind."

"Tell Fang Jin to pester him and don't give him a chance to leave the battlefield!"

"Let the Xinjiang Province and Dongmeng (Guan-class) accelerate to the north, Yanjing and Yucheng continue to protect the transport fleet, and then send a reconnaissance squadron to fly north along the coast of Panama. Pay attention to check if there is a seaplane contact."

After the staff officer left with Ji Rushan's order, Lin Tai leaned forward and put his hands on the chart table. Looking back on Ji Rushan's series of orders just now, his eyes lit up: "Youshan, do you think Andrew is still outside our scope of investigation?"

"Is there any explanation other than this?" Ji Rushan nodded: "It hasn't been a day or two since our plane appeared. The Americans can't come out, but at least they can calculate the approximate combat radius, so I guess he didn't enter the reconnaissance circle at all, and it's already three o'clock now. I would definitely let Mayo play and pretend to retreat.

The Nevada class has a speed of 20 knots, and the Hebei class is 25 knots. As long as it is blocked by cruisers and destroyers, the 11th Fleet will catch up for at least two hours, which is bound to be dragged into the night war. At that time, even if we bring the plane, we will lose all our previous achievements!"

When he walked to the platform, the silver body covered with deck shone brightly. Looking at the waiting group, Ji Rushan sneered: "Andrew is good. He knows his weaknesses, so he would rather take risks to fight a night battle that he may not necessarily win than easily, but his sadness is too high to look at Mayo, or there is no one at all. Yes, as long as the 11th Fleet hurts Mayo, but we don't show up for a long time, then he has to show his original form!"

"Tell Fang Jin to fight to the death!"——

"Yours, sir."

After Tan Haodong, the combat staff officer who was included in the battleship formation before the trip, handed the telegram to Fang Jin, he couldn't help sternating out of his eyes. The thick smoke rising from the distance told him that the four Nevada-class battleships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet were approaching quickly.

"What's wrong?" Fang Jin squinted at Tan Haodong and said with a smile, "Are you nervous?"

"A little bit." Tan Haodong nodded unexpectedly and did not hide his nervous mood at all. For the new generation of officers, the excited, manic and dangerous naval gun duel was both eager and nervous.

"It's okay. It's almost the same as looking for a woman for the first time." Fang Jin patted him on the shoulder: "It's very enjoyable."

" Tan Haodong finally knew why everyone said that Captain Fang was "all elegant spoilers." It was an exciting battleship duel, but it came to his mouth.

"Left, 15 degrees!" Fang Jin quickly turned his head: "Report the distance."

"28,000 meters!"

"Do you have the order of shelling?"

"The investigation speculates that Oklahoma may be the flagship, so my Hebei to Oklahoma, Henan to Nevada, Hunan to Washington, and Hubei to Wisconsin." The gun staff shouted, reporting the order of shelling arranged after the investigation.

"Cancel." Fang Jin waved his hand: "The first ten rounds are all aimed at Oklahoma!"

"Yes."

After the staff officer turned around and adjusted the order by phone, Tan Haodong quietly walked to him and asked, "Your officer, what if I make a mistake?" And in this way, won't they be beaten for ten minutes for nothing? I have studied the Nevada level, and it is basically copying us"

"Haodong." Fang Jin interrupted and said with a smile, "If there is no war, imitation will never get the essence. Moreover, the American soldiers opposite are all young like you."

"Yours, sir."

When the black line on Tan Haodong's forehead crawled randomly, and all the officers around him held the corners of his mouth, the shouting sounded again.

"26,000 meters!"

In the report of the navigation staff again, even Tan Haodong, who was hit, suddenly straightened up, grabbed the handrail beside him with his right hand, and subconsciously took a step forward. When he looked up at the navigation bell, his heartbeat kept trembling for seconds, but he suddenly found that the air in the command tower was instantly solidified, cold and piercing.

Whether it is Fang Jin, who laughs and scolds cynicism and is known as the "elegant spoiler", or the staff who just sneered at him, even the guards in the bridge all straightened up, with a kind of fanaticism in his eyes!

In an instant, Tan Haodong even had a feeling that these soldiers who began to brag and fart from the time of sailing and talked about the earth suddenly turned into a lion lion, especially the head that led them in front of them. At this moment, they had to be full of tension. The feeling of laughing like a ruffian seemed to have never appeared. Only the heroic and iron blood filled with posture is left.

"Haodong, do you know why the commander will integrate you into our 11th Fleet before departure?" Fang Jin held his hands, and his thin back was particularly handsome at this moment.

Turning his head, without waiting for an answer, Fang Jin has smiled and said, "Many people still don't understand what a battleship is, and we don't want to explain it. Although I know that these big guys will grow old after the war, we still hope that young people like you can understand the sound of the ship's gun and let it pass on from generation to generation! "

Before Tan Haodong understood the meaning of these words, a burst of shout echoed in the command tower: "Fight the flag, come and fight, America!"

Tan Haodong felt as if he couldn't think anymore. He was usually proud of his calculations. At this moment, he couldn't play it at all. The people in the rear staff would never understand the ambitions of the front-line soldiers!

The provocative flag signal instantly ignited the tyranny in the soldier's heart. His eyes locked the enemy. The phone was put in his ear, and his fingers pressed on the launch button. The cold shell was waiting for the scabbard dragon to sing!

"25,000 meters"

When Tan Haodong looked up and looked at the sea clock again, a harsh electric current suddenly penetrated into his ears, and then he felt that his head was about to explode. The palpitations made his whole body's hair suddenly stand up. The huge hull of 33,500 tons under his feet was like a sampan board sent to the tip of the wave by a storm, and the thick steel emitted a squeaking toothache. Sound.

Outside the porthole, the blazing huge cannonballs reddened their cheeks, the air of the cannonballs torn, and the thick smoke penetrated into the body from all directions.

At that moment, he felt that something in his body was ignited, and hot blood crawled all over his body like an electric current. His body was rushing into his brain, and finally squeezed his brain and nasal cavity.

He understood that these old navy people were guiding young people like him in the most unique way, because they knew that this might be the last battle of the old navy, so they hoped that when they got old, someone could understand the roar of naval guns and understand the persistence in the hearts of the navy!

The sea needs generations of guardians!

"Your officer!"

Tan Haodong can no longer control himself. At this moment, he doesn't want to be a bystander. He needs to devote himself more intuitively. Go ahead and take a good look." Fang Jin raised his hand and did not look back, but everyone could clearly feel the smile on the corners of his mouth.

In the hot dust smoke, Tan Haodong rushed along the gangway to the higher and better Luojing bridge. When a ball of cannons in front of him flashed again, he felt that the whole world was blown up. The roaring muzzle wind kept expanding, and even crushed the sea water of the ship's side, forming four huge nest-like disturbances.

The wide hull was constantly pushed and shaken horizontally. The engine burst out a low hissing sound, hot shells, roaring and rushing to the enemy in the distance. Only in the seventh round, when two dazzling fires rose from a distance, the whole fleet was ignited!

At that moment, there was only one voice in heaven and earth!

That's the high-pitated dragon!

"Fuck to the death!"
