Chapter 174 Plank Road-Panama (7)

When the first attack wave returned, Cai Guolan's 504 war squadron was arranged to be responsible for cover at the last formation.

At 11:30, the squadron leader shook his wings gently: When he got home, Cai Guolan breathed a sigh of relief, probably because he was worried that the wingman would fall behind, so he glanced back casually and was shocked: a team of strange four-engine large aircraft followed closely.

Behind the fleet!

Calm, calm down - you have to report to the squadron leader first.

Cai Guolan pulled down the accelerator, rushed to the front of the right side of the squadron leader, and used gestures to remind him to look back.

The squadron leader looked back and replied to her: "Go and notify the commander."

Then he shook the wings violently and led all the aircraft to turn around and snatch them.

Cai Guolan obeyed the order and rushed to the front of the formation with all her might, the commander in front of the landline, that is, her uncle Cai Yong, and reported the situation with gestures.

Cai Yong nodded to her and quickly fired two signal flares, one red and one green, indicating that "there are enemy planes in the air" and that the fighter planes should be escorted into the battle immediately.

After Cai Guolan finished the report, she stepped on the rudder and turned around and went back to chase the squadron. She would never give up this opportunity to kill the enemy.

Use the achievements of shooting down enemy planes to wash away the shame of being shot down over Pearl Harbor - this is what Cai Guolan thinks.

Pushing the accelerator to the end, he quickly caught up with the squadron. Without having time to seize the position, he insisted that an enemy plane rushed towards him, 500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters...

Open fire!

When pulling the trigger, the enemy plane seemed to fill all the vision ahead!

Cai Guolan did not close her eyes, but just pulled the rod with a reflex, and the plane trembled suddenly, almost bounced against the other party's wings.

Cai Guolan did not put the pole, but also pushed the throttle, and the plane climbed along an arc. The nose of the plane was raised higher and higher. After passing the zenith, it suddenly sank backwards. Cai Guolan felt that the eyes were red and the plane was completely

It's overturned!

Now, with its natural keen reaction, before the plane goes into dive, a perfect roll will quickly return from the reverse flight state to the level flight state. What is particularly important is that after completing this series of actions, the nose is just right

Pointed to the butt of the prey just now.

Less than two hundred meters!

In an instant, a string of tracer bullets shot towards him, whizzing past while rubbing his flying hat.

"You lost!"

At the same time, the two Jinling heavy machine guns mounted on the nose of the machine made a dense red line between the propeller blades - 1,000 rounds per minute, you will die!

The first round of the long shot knocked the ignorant machine gunner down, and pulled the accelerator back to the throttle. Slightly slowed down the speed - almost using a propeller to cut the opponent's horizontal tail.

When the distance was 50 or 60 meters wide, I aimed at the engine on the left and fired another string of bullets, and soon black smoke came out. In order to avoid being smoked, I slid my rudder and turned to the right side of the enemy plane.

Go past.

He aimed at the cab and then fired one of them and then left the attack position - in order to avoid the black smoke and fragments rushing towards him.

The enemy plane that lost two engines dragged a black arc in the blue sky, and Cai Guolan followed it tightly above it. He was ready to make up a few shuttles for it until he saw clearly that the wings on both sides were completely

The fire was covered, and the remaining two engines stopped rotating, so they felt relieved to climb up the rod and began to look for new prey...

Eleven US aircraft that were shot down in the first attack wave in just one quarter of an hour, nine of which were the results of the 504th Squadron. Lieutenant Cai Guolan, the deputy squadron leader, captured three of them.

The picture taken by the photo gun is confirmed.

The remaining American aircraft dropped the bomb and fled into the cumulonimbus clouds in the east. The escort fighter of the first attack wave did not chase after it due to insufficient fuel.

Cai Yong was called to Commander Liang Shuming as soon as he returned to the deck of the mothership.

"What is the result of the battle?"

"The other party seemed to have noticed it for a long time, and fled to the sea. The firepower of the counterattack ground was extremely fierce, and it was also quite good at avoiding maneuvers... Well, the confirmed result was to hit the warship 1, cruise 2, and expulsion 2. And. Not able to

Go to the seaplane."

Liang Shuming frowned: "I just received a report from Colonel Situ, but the attack from the airport was not successful. Although the airport facilities were bombed, no plane was caught."

"Then...will continue?"

"What do you think?"

Cai Yong made a gesture: "When he returned, he found a team of land-based aircraft following behind."

"oh?"

"Of course, I'll leave it to the escort fighter. I'll confirm that most of the shots were shot down, and the remaining bombs were left and ran away. I think the enemy here is quite alert and very aggressive. Compared to the attack on Pearl Harbor, this time it was a long time.

The battle was carried out without intelligence support, and the effect of a surprise attack was completely impossible... Also, until now, the reconnaissance in the east and south was still dark due to weather reasons, and I was worried..."

"I feel that I cannot destroy the enemy fleet, but I will take advantage of it?" Liang Shuming simply asked clearly.

Cai Yong took off his flying hat and touched his head in embarrassment: "Yes, in the final analysis, our mission is not to attack the Panama enemy. Commander Sa's meaning should be before the enemy discovers..."

"Do you want to say that I tamper with the commander's order?"

"I dare not, but now I have already alerted the enemy and the situation of the enemy is unknown. It is better to complete the mine laying mission as soon as possible, go north and meet with Commander Sa Sa, and sweep the west coast of the United States together to make a safe plan."

Liang Shuming walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, sighed regretfully, and said slowly: "Send the order: First, the third attack wave will be replaced with mines and start mine-burning operations. Second, generate electricity for the second attack wave in the air,

The attacking force is divided into two, and the torpedo-carrying aircraft continues to search and attack the enemy fleet. The bomb-carrying aircraft will return after bombing the port, and there is no delay!”

Before he finished speaking, a burst of exclamation in the voice transmission tube: "There is a thunder trace in front of the port side!"

"What!"

Liang Shuming and Cai Yong rushed out of the bridge and came to the "Lu" Tianfei Bridge. Following the instructions of the lookout officer, they saw a white lightning trace galloping straight towards the "Dapeng".

Distance - 500 meters!?

Suddenly, the hull tilted violently, and the mothership began to turn left at full speed to avoid. At the same time, a sailor ran up the fly bridge and called Liang Shuming: "Commander, Captain, please pay attention to safety. Please go to the Commander Tower--"

"No need, it's too late. I'll see his "ship" technology here with my own eyes." Liang Shuming responded indifferently.

"Commander, this is dangerous!" Cai Yong was about to take action, but Liang Shuming said safely: "It is worthy of being the expert of the "Foot" ship that I dug up for so hard work. I am saved-"

Cai Yong looked down and saw that the torpedo had long disappeared.
