Chapter 446 When Midway meets Jutland (please subscribe, please vote)

"Sir, those are the battleships and cruisers of the Ming Dynasty. There are more than ten 10,000-ton ships. We cannot let them go!"

"But what will happen if the enemy planes on Kwajalein come again? Some of them still have torpedoes on them!"

"But those 10,000-ton ships are all emitting black smoke. They must have been damaged by the bombing. If we work harder, we can keep them all in Kwajalein Atoll!"

"But we must destroy the airport on Kwajalein first, otherwise the aircraft there will pose too great a threat to our aircraft-carrying armored cruisers!"

"But the airfield on Kwajalein Island is too big. If we must completely destroy it, the enemy's fleet will slip away!"

"But without destroying the airfield, our fleet will remain in danger."

Before George Elliot could decide whether to blow up the ship or destroy the airport on Kwajalein Island first, his staff officers were already arguing. Some advocated bombing the ship, while others advocated bombing the airport.

They all make sense. But who should you listen to?

"Sir," the fleet's aviation staff suddenly asked loudly at this time, "the flight deck asked, what type of bomb should be hung?"

It turns out that none of the "pigeon planes" that participated in the first attack wave were shot down at this time. Now they have returned, and have been refilled with fuel and bullets. They are also lined up on the flight deck, just waiting to hang bombs.

Can take off again to form the third attack wave.

"Hang high-explosive bombs for bombing the airport!" George Yilu said thoughtfully, "Wait for the second attack wave of planes to come back, and then hang armor-piercing bombs on them. I believe those Ming battleships and cruisers will not go too far!"

As he spoke, George Elliot looked up again at the Ming warships that were smoking thickly on the sea - they did not come towards George Elliot's D fleet after leaving the Kwajalein Lagoon, but instead

Running westward, it seems that he wants to evacuate the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, George Yilu breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little worried just now that the Ming Navy fleet composed of old battleships and new cruisers would come for a decisive battle with his six aircraft-carrying armored cruisers!

If we really want to fight a decisive battle, his aircraft-carrying armored cruisers are no match. To deal with those battleships, we still have to let the main fleet come in!

Thinking of this, George Yilu loudly ordered: "Give General William Baga power and tell him that the Ming fleet that rushed out from Kwajalein Island is evacuating to the west. There are at least 10 old warships among them.

And they have all been damaged by planes, so the speed is not very fast, only 10-12 knots!"

"Yes, sir!"

In fact, before receiving the telegram from George Elliot, William Baga had already led his large fleet in pursuit - after all, there were more than a dozen large ships of more than 10,000 tons, even if they were mainly Laoye battleships, then

It's also a big guy. If nothing else, how come there are hundreds of sailors on this old battleship? A dozen ships means less than 10,000 people!

Moreover, William Baga was also worried that the Ming fleet that rushed out of the Kwajalein Atoll would come to George Yilu's fleet to defeat him. If all six of George Yilu's aircraft-carrying armored cruisers were lost, what would happen if George Yilu's six aircraft-carrying armored cruisers were lost?

That's troublesome.

William Baga only has 8 aircraft-carrying armored cruisers in total and only more than 200 carrier-based aircraft pilots, while George Elliot has 6 aircraft-carrying ships and 144 carrier-based aircraft pilots. That is the British Royal Navy Air Force

of fire!

Now that he received the telegram from George Elliot, William Baga finally breathed a sigh of relief. But it’s okay to be relieved, but not to relax! So William Baga immediately took off from the A fleet that he personally led.

4 Monmouth-class ships, 4 Cressey-class ships, 2 Duke of Edinburgh-class ships, 2 Devonshire-class ships, and 16 fast destroyers were mobilized to form a new B fleet, led by Captain Dunda of the Duke of Edinburgh class.

The Sri Lankan Navy Rear Admiral, the commander, went all out to pursue the Ming fleet that protruded from Kwajalein Atoll.

The Pacific Ocean is like a huge piece of blue silk, undulating with the wind, stretching as far as the eye can see. Cotton-like clouds drift past the cabin window of the Thunder Dragon torpedo bomber driven by Xiao Chaogui, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility. But Xiao Chaogui is most concerned now.

What I hate is the feeling of peace and tranquility. It has been flying for more than an hour and almost two hours, why haven't I seen the British fleet yet? Could it be that I am flying in the wrong direction?

Thinking of this, Xiao Chaogui began to pray: "Heavenly Father, please bless me and let me find Yingyi Amen!"

Xiao Chaogui’s face will definitely be given by the Heavenly Father and the Emperor. He is the Heavenly Brother, Jesus, the Ming Dynasty’s “Fan Jesus”, so after he finished saying “Amen”, Hu Yihuang in the passenger seat started shouting: “Chao

It’s 11 o’clock ahead of you, thick smoke!”

Xiao Chaogui quickly looked up, and sure enough he saw more than a dozen billows of thick smoke, and vaguely saw several aircraft that looked a bit like birds. The aircraft that looked like this were the British pigeon aircraft.

"Found it! Found it!" Xiao Chaogui roared, "Quickly signal to the brothers behind!"

"I know, we're already fighting!" When Hu Yihuang spoke, he had already taken out a red "order flag" and started waving it vigorously.

When Hu Yihuang started to wave the red flag, the twenty or thirty "pigeon planes" that were staring at the Kongming large light cruiser of the Ming Dynasty to drop bombs also saw more than 90 Sea Flying Dragon 2, Ssangyong 2, and Thunder flying from the west.

A large fleet of Dragon 1 and other fighter jets.

This frightened the British pilots in the sky. Their "Pigeons" were no match for the Ming Dynasty Dragon fighters. They had been beaten up by several Dragon fighters that had taken off from Kwajalein Island before.

The losses were considerable. Hundreds of them flew in this time, and the sky was filled with darkness. How could we fight? Run!

John Wright, who had lost his good brother in the previous battle, no longer had the courage to confront the Dragon fighter. The latter was so powerful that it could crush the Pigeon in terms of speed, maneuverability and firepower. Moreover, the latter was too powerful.

The pilots of the Ming Army especially liked to go around and shoot behind the enemy, and the only way for the Pigeon aircraft to fight back was for the pilot to pull out his pistol and shoot back. Thinking that his good brother died so miserably, John Wright quickly moved the joystick.

He flew his own pigeon plane towards the east in the direction of his D fleet.

Seeing the pigeons and planes in the sky flying eastward one after another, the Ming army aircraft groups in the sky were not in a hurry to attack, but not only slowly bit behind them. Not long after, a Thunder Dragon torpedo attack aircraft was flying

Xiao Chaogui saw thick smoke that made his blood surge!

"Damn it, he finally found you!"

After a while, on the blue sea, the British fleet appeared one after another in three columns. The left and right columns were small boats of a thousand tons, and the one in the middle of the three columns was

That’s 6 aircraft-carrying armored cruisers!

"Six aircraft carriers." Xiao Chaogui's voice was trembling a little, "Quickly, send power to the Shu Zhongwang and tell them that the Thunder Dragon 8 has discovered an enemy fleet of more than 20 ships, including 6 aircraft carriers!"

Hu Yihuang, who was sitting behind him, was already filming the telegram. When Xiao Chaogui finished speaking, he was almost done, so he opened his throat and said, "Brother Xiao, what should I do now that the telegram has been taken?"

"Of course it's an attack!" Xiao Chaogui shouted while pressing down the control stick, "The target is the Yingyi aircraft carrier, go for it, God bless us!"
