Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2143 Raid
Reconnaissance aircraft focus on speed and flexibility, and it is really not easy to catch compared to fighter jets.However, Okamoto obviously overestimated his own strength and underestimated the strength of the enemy he faced.If he adopts dodge and escape tactics, then it is possible to escape by relying on his speed not losing much compared to the Baiji Dolphin.But he is obsessed with getting rid of his opponent and wants to go deeper, which is like a gift to Lian Xiaosheng.

Lian Xiaosheng's two consecutive dive attacks failed to hit the target despite trapping the opponent with the crosshairs. Gu Cun would have been discouraged and even frustrated in his self-confidence, but for him, Okamoto's tenacity Aroused his competitive heart.So when he locked on to Okamoto again, he didn't rush to fire. Instead, he adjusted the nose of the aircraft slightly forward based on the experience gained from the previous two failed attacks, and then pressed the firing button.For Okamoto, avoiding the opponent's inevitable blow twice in a row, this greatly increased his self-confidence, and his tactical movements were also exceptionally smooth.There was a problem with this fluency. After he dived to a certain height, he habitually wanted to make a turning maneuver, but he just crashed into the fire net laid by Lian Xiaosheng.Hit by three shells in a row, the fragile reconnaissance plane exploded in the air and disintegrated. Okamoto was hit by flying debris without even a chance to parachute, and died immediately after a scream.

"It hit the head, it's amazing!" Seeing this scene, Gu Cun praised on the intercom.

Lian Xiaosheng didn't have time to enjoy the joy of victory, he said to Gu Cun: "I have a hunch that the little devil's fleet is not far away, let's go and have a look, if we can find the devil's fleet, then we will have made a great contribution .”

As a recruit, Gu Cun has no say in this matter.Even Xiaosheng didn't mean to ask for his opinion, and after talking to him, he adjusted the communication channel and called his friend's phone.The walkie-talkie equipped with Baiji Dolphin is powerful, and the effective communication distance is about [-] kilometers. His call was quickly answered.The one who responded to Lian Xiaosheng happened to be one of his subordinates named Du Tiancun.Lian Xiaosheng was overjoyed. He told Du Tiancun his plan, ordered him to follow him, and asked him to contact nearby friendly planes to form a communication line to ensure smooth communication with the fleet commander.Du Tiancun obeyed the order, so with Lian Xiaosheng as the leader, a reconnaissance contact line composed of twelve fighters was formed.

Out of practical considerations, Koizumi only wanted to launch a tentative attack on the Pacific Fleet.However, due to the need to train the team, Chen Shichang desperately hoped to get the chance to actually fight.Of course, he also knows that it is unrealistic to challenge the United Fleet at this stage, but according to the information provided by the General Command, the United Fleet is divided into two at this time, one is resting in Japan, and the other is still in Shanghai, which means Southeast Asia. The Japanese army in the sea area only has the Western Expedition Fleet and an unknown number of escort fleets.Neither the Western Expedition Fleet nor the Escort Fleet is equipped with an aircraft carrier, which means that they do not have the ability to carry out air strikes, so he is not afraid to fight them.Chen Shichang did not hide this idea from his officers, and Lian Xiaosheng happened to be qualified to know, so he came up with the idea of ​​looking for the Japanese fleet after shooting down the Japanese reconnaissance plane.

Morikawa sent a total of two water reconnaissance planes to look for the Pacific Fleet. Among them, the one driven by Okamoto flew southeast, and the other flew due south.The walkie-talkie equipped with the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft has a communication distance of about 5000 to 150 meters. When Okamoto sent the report, there was a Japanese submarine in the sea area centered on him. However, the submarine was sailing underwater at the time, so it did not receive his message. Report.So before being found by Lian Xiaosheng's reconnaissance unit, Morikawa did not make any tactical adjustments, and continued to drive towards Gran, Mindanao according to the original route.At this time, the straight-line distance between them and the Pacific Fleet was only about [-] kilometers.

At around [-]:[-] noon, Lian Xiaosheng saw the Japanese assault fleet cutting through the waves, and immediately shouted on the walkie-talkie: "I found it, I found it! Du Tiancun, please call back."

"Du Tiancun received it, please give instructions."

"Report to the command immediately, I found a Japanese fleet and request the next action plan."

After Chen Shichang received Lian Xiaosheng's report from the reconnaissance fleet, he took his judgment seriously, and agreed to his request to find the enemy fleet, and then ordered the entire army to be on first-level combat readiness.

After Lian Xiaosheng found out that the intelligence of the enemy fleet was sent back, the aviation units equipped by the three aircraft carriers were ready to attack. Chen Shichang decided to send a torpedo aircraft brigade, a bomber brigade, and a fighter squadron to attack according to the size of the enemy fleet.At the same time, he ordered to further strengthen anti-submarine operations, and finally called Guo Kui, informed him of the news, and asked him to prepare for air defense operations.

The Japanese army built airports and stationed a certain number of army aviation units in New Guinea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.After confirming that the United Fleet is still staying in the mainland of Japan and off the coast of Shanghai, these army aviation units have become the biggest threat to the Pacific Fleet.In the final analysis, Chen Shichang lacked self-confidence. He didn't know how large-scale the Japanese aircraft group raid could be withstood by the Pacific Air Corps. That's why he was worried about gains and losses, and he was a little timid when the fighter planes came.

Compared with him, the commander of the Japanese raid fleet, Morikawa Dazuo, was too confident. He rashly marched towards the dangerous sea area without receiving a report from the reconnaissance force. Learned a valuable actual combat opportunity from the Pacific Air Corps.

At this time, Wang Hai had just arrived in Karachi, so this time the Pacific Air Corps with the fleet was served by his deputy Xu Sidong.Xu Sidong, 33, was a captain of Boeing Airlines in the United States before being recruited in New York.This was the first actual combat of the Pacific Air Corps. Xu Sidong attached great importance to it and personally served as the commander of the attack group.He led 84 fighter planes from three aircraft carriers and flew towards the sea area where the Japanese raid fleet was located under the guidance of the liaison reconnaissance plane. When he spoke, he already had 98 fighters under his command.

Lian Xiaosheng was very shrewd. He discovered from a distance that the Japanese fleet did not continue to approach, but just hid in the clouds with Gu Cun and watched from a distance.His move ensured the suddenness of the air strike—when Xu Sidong gave an order, as many as 72 fighter planes swooped down on the Japanese raid fleet, this sudden attack immediately caused a collective panic among the Japanese soldiers.

"Enemy attack!" The devil watchman who discovered the enemy's situation first hissed, and then the air defense siren rang out.
