Chapter 821 Air Strike, I am the king! 3

"Report, the mobile fleet has arrived and has stopped Lexington."

"I know."

Although he got the news that the Lexington was stopped, Le Fei didn't even lift his eyelids. He didn't see a heavy patrol that had not yet formed combat effectiveness. Instead, he asked, "Is there any news about the reconnaissance aircraft?"

"The missing heavy patrols have not been found yet. We suspect that they may not be in the waters of Bermuda!"

"Oh?"

"Commander, look." The staff officer pointed to the chart and said, "The minimum speed of the nine capital ships that left has reached 25 knots, and Jelko has left earlier. He can reach Bermuda before us for deployment. If this inference is correct, then at the speed of these heavy patrols, it can be maneuvering about 100 nautical miles away from the Bermuda Islands. The area.

He left all 14 battleships near the Bermuda Islands, and generously did not even dodge the reconnaissance aircraft, indicating that he deliberately used battleships as bait to induce us to attack the battleships and Bermuda with all our strength.

In terms of time, we need at least three waves of attacks to attack Bermuda and the battleships, which takes about 6 hours!

Once we attack the battleship, our position will be exposed, so that Jellico will definitely ask the heavy patrol to launch an attack at a speed of 25 knots, which can approach us within 4 hours.

If he followed the previous information, he would definitely know that there were only two Taiwan-class and one Xi'an-class escorting around us. Even if we don't know how to regroup, we can add up to two more Yanjing-class. With the strength of nine main heavy patrols and battleships, we have the ability to break through our defense circle.

"But we still have another aircraft carrier battle group, not to mention General Sa's eight battleships!"

"Yes." The staff nodded to Zhu Houbin, who was inquiring, and continued: "But Jellico also has more than 300 torpedo planes and bombers in Bermuda. No matter how strong the second aircraft carrier battle group is, it will take about 2 hours to clear so many aircraft, and he has also deployed a large number of mobile deportations in the south. For ships and cruisers, it will take time for General Sa to complete the suppression.

He wants to make a time difference and take advantage of the weakest time after our full attack to create a gap against us!"

Listening to the analysis of the staff, Le Fei also nodded secretly from the bottom of his heart. In fact, he had also guessed Jellico's deployment. From a tactical point of view, Jellico is worthy of being the best general. At least in the face of the aircraft carrier in the face of the world, he is using his current strength to organize a counterattack.

However, he still doesn't understand how powerful a well-equipped Western Qin-class aircraft carrier is!

"How far are we from Bermuda now?"

"150 nautical miles, you can enter the attack range after 2 hours at full speed!" The captain said, "The reconnaissance plane has sent back a message just now. Jellico has scattered the fleet into several teams to avoid concentrated bombing in this way."

"Order all the torpedo planes searched outside to come back, and the first wave of attack began 2 hours later. Contact the second aircraft carrier battle group and get close to me at full speed!" Le Fei raised his head and looked at Zhu Houbin with a sudden smile: "I heard that the boy below you are going to fight with the Air Force?"

"Commander, how do you know this? These kids are all messing around. Don't worry about them." In the face of the eyes of so many officers, Zhu Houbin was also a little embarrassed and quickly took off his hat and scratched his head.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. How can a soldier have no temper!" Le Fei suddenly looked at his watch and smiled proudly. Only those who have experienced the difficulty of the takeoff and landing of the aircraft carrier know that no matter how strong the air force is, it is impossible to take off and land in such a narrow place, so this alone can show the sharpness of navigation, so he turned his head to the communication officer behind him and said, "Take it down, 9 Click 50 minutes to send it by flash telegram, content.

"Air strike, I'm the king!"

"Yes! At 9:50, air strike, I'm the king!"

.. It's .3.

On the flagship Hood, it had been shrouded in a strong smell of gunpowder smoke. The soldiers sat nervously and finally prepared. Their eyes on the mast were alert and nervous, because the news that the Lexington encountered the enemy an hour ago made everyone understand that the enemy had been crushed by the army.

"General, Lexington reported that it was attacked by the enemy's capital ship!"

"What kind of capital ship is it?" Jellico immediately walked from the porthole to the chart.

"Here it is." The staff officer pointed to the southeast: "The distance is about 150 nautical miles, and I met three Yanjing-class battleships."

"Yanjing class, 3 ships? Is there a plane?

"No, but the situation of the Lexington is very bad. Do you want it?"

Jelko pulled out the cigar, and all the officers were looking at him.

As we all know, in the face of three Yanjing-class ships, if there is no foreign aid, there is almost no hope of escaping, and the only foreign aid is hundreds of planes on the island at this moment. However, due to the sudden incident, these bombers from all over the United States do not have enough ammunition for repeated use, which is equivalent to It is said that everyone has only one one-way ticket in hand, and only one wave of attack can be launched.

So General Joseph King took the lead in leaving the lurking, because this time there is only one chance, that is, to entangle the enemy aircraft carrier fighters with the aircraft on the island and the aircraft carrier. Even if they face so many planes, it will take about 2 hours to completely clear them, and the heavy patrol team that leaves early within 2 hours can pull Nearly 50 nautical miles.

Because the enemy had to attack itself with all its strength, the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier was the worst at that time. There were only two Taiwan-class, two Yanjing-class and one Xi'an-class in front of Joseph King. As long as you can find a way to bypass the other party, you can still threaten the aircraft carrier.

The combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier is all on the aircraft. As long as Joseph King is resolute, he can make a heavy patrol approach the aircraft carrier within 25,000 yards, and the wide deck is almost the best target.

It's just that everyone is still a little sad to see a newly launched battlecruiser sinking helplessly like this.

After letting the smoke linger around his lungs for a few times, Jellico waved his hand: "Tell Lexington to evacuate the northwest. If you are attacked by a plane, you must tell us immediately. If not, you must find a way to get out of the battle by yourself!"

"General, with the ability of Lexington, I'm afraid I can't escape in front of the three Yanjing-class ships." After thinking about it, the staff reminded him.

"I know, but we can't save him now. What I need is the position of the opponent's aircraft carrier battle group, not to rescue a warship that is sure to fail." Jellico frowned: "Did a reconnaissance plane to focus on the east."

"Reconnaissance aircraft."

Just as everyone was arguing about whether to rescue or not, you shouted to bring Jerry Cora back to reality. More than a dozen 47mm anti-aircraft guns deployed on the island took the lead in firing, and the rumbling shelling finally broke the almost depressing atmosphere here.

"General, it's their fighter!"

The staff officer's words made Jellico shake slightly. He immediately grabbed the telescope and saw that it was no longer the enemy's long-range seaplane that came to detect this time, but the Hornet fighter that had been fighting many times, and his face suddenly became solemn.

Europe knows very little about several aircraft equipped by Xinhua, and can only rely on some wartime performances to infer. According to the calculation of the headquarters, Xinhua naval aircraft are not as good as the air force in terms of speed, range and bomb load. As for the three aircraft of aircraft carriers, the Hornet fighter has the longest combat distance, about 400 kilometers. The second is the torpedo plane. The worst is the screaming bomber, which is only 200 kilometers away.

So if you want to burst out all your strength, the enemy's aircraft carrier must enter within 200 kilometers. Now that the fighter has appeared, it means that the enemy's aircraft carrier battle group has entered the Bermuda Islands within 400 kilometers!

This also means that the enemy's attack will come soon, and the next wave may be an endless group of bombers!

At this critical moment, Jellico finally received a good news. The destroyers deployed on the periphery found two enemy aircraft carriers and four Hebei-class battleships south of Bermuda!

"Let's go!"

Jelko is waiting for this opportunity!

By order, in the airstrips of Bermuda, two-winged large bombers began to take off, and then the Curtiss D300 also began to roar, and finally left was the Short 184 seaplane, which also carried a torpedo. More than 300 fighters were divided into several batches and rushed south, covering the sky, and at the same time one The Jellico's main battleship formation hovering around the anchorage also accelerated out of the island and headed south at the same time.

The scene of 14 main battleships and dozens of escort ships drilling out of Bermuda's anchorage at the same time was extremely spectacular, and just as they left, two Hornet fighters that came to scout had already sounded the alarm

.. At 8:50, the first aircraft carrier battle group was fully equipped and ready to roar.

Three aircraft carriers galloped against the wind at a speed of 30 knots. The fierce deck wind made many sailors shaky. The front deck flight officer held a red flag, listened to the buzzing noise of more than 80 three-leaf asymmetric propellers in front of him, and looked at the flight control tower protruding from the island.

In the cockpit, every dragon wing has received the news that it is about to send a clear telegram.

The time is after 50 minutes.

And at that time, it happened to be the time for my people to launch the first wave of attack.

"Air attack, I'm the king."

The wait was as long as centuries. When the newly replaced action code sounded in the headphones, the flight officer waved his arm fiercely. At the moment when the flag fell, the two escorted Hornet fighters rushed out of the deck first.

One by one.

One batch after another!

Three aircraft carriers released fighters at a speed of two per minute, and the dragon wings enveloped the Atlantic Ocean under their wings in an instant.
