Chapter 62
"See them, Colonel, we discovered the US air fleet, they are sending attack planes...!"
The girl who spoke was a little anxious and excited, which caused the blame of Colonel Akiyama who survived the last raid.
"Calm down, stay calm!"
The radar observer who was criticized like this paused for a moment and then changed to a relatively stable voice. However, the sweetness in his usual voice had turned into a faint tremor.
"The US air fleet, location...sends a rotor attack aircraft...racks..."
Colonel Akiyama breathed a sigh of relief, and then issued an order in a calm voice.
"Report the information to the fleet commander, and at the same time, the escort ships must strengthen their protection..."
After saying this, I blamed myself for my attitude just now.
"You observe carefully, but as an observer, you must remain calm, otherwise it will definitely affect your work!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
The radar observer's voice had returned to normal at this time, and she also heard a certain kind of trusted happiness from her voice. No wonder she had such a reaction. Since the last time the Japanese Navy's Hawkeye - reconnaissance/command airship was hit by the Houyi - the magic arrow K-1 type launched by the US military, Hawkeye, the girl who was once favored by girls, has become synonymous with danger again.
Once upon a time, the girls on Hawkeye were the angels loved by the proud fighter pilots. Staying away from the battlefield also made their working environment comfortable and warm. The uniforms that were originally wearing neat shorts and shirts also turned into helmets and armor.
Now the huge Hawkeye - reconnaissance/command airship, has been the main target of the US Navy's aviation attack at all costs in order to fight for centralization of power on the battlefield.
Especially after the air fleet commanded by Bull William Frederick Halsey enriched the US Navy, the attack on Japanese Hawkeye - command/reconnaissance airship became increasingly heavy.
“Woo…”
The air carriers belonging to the Japanese Navy, which escorted Hawkeye - reconnaissance/command airship, immediately dispatched all the fighter jets they were loading to intensively escort Hawkeye - reconnaissance/command airships. Those small air defense airships also formed an air defense circle around Hawkeye - reconnaissance/command airships.
So everyone knows that under such strict protection, the observation and command capabilities of Hawkeye-reconnaissance/command airship will be greatly reduced. However, if this is the case, the safety of the Navy Hawkeye-reconnaissance/command airship will be guaranteed.
"This is all because the teachers are unwilling to fully open the arms market to Japan...!"
Akiyama is a completely new generation of Japanese people who grew up in education with the Chinese Federation as the father's country. In their hearts, loyalty to the emperor must be loyal to the father's country. If the emperor's family is declared to be coronary and unfilial, it will be a shame for all Japanese people who are loyal to the emperor.
With this belief, I brought it from elementary school to university, and as a military academy student, to the Whampoa Military Academy. This is a belief that has been solidified in his brain and dissolved in his blood.
Therefore, like some Japanese, he did not complain that the Chinese Federation did not completely favor Japan in arms sales. Because according to the education they received, it was precisely the kind of education in which the king wanted the minister to die, the ministers could not die, the father wanted the son to forget, and the son had to die.
But in private, as the commander of the Air Hawkeye Force, he did not get the Wanglou i-type airship that was about to be eliminated in his teacher's hands. He felt a little unwilling.
The current Federation of China is concerned about its own degree of property rights, which is very strict, very cautious and cruel. If the Federation had not announced before World War II that it had completely abandoned the intellectual property rights of the Hawkeye airship, then no one in the world would have dared to imitate and produce. Even except for the dead, no one had imitated the double-boat airship.
"If it's the building..."
I remember when I was educated in the Chinese Federation, although I was not able to enter the world's latest type of Global Hawk airship as a vehicle, like the soldiers of the Chinese Federation - Wanglou reconnaissance/command airship for internship. As a hardworking young officer, like all soldiers, he likes better weapons and uses everything possible to understand the world's latest equipment.
"It's 1/3 farther than Hawkeye's reconnaissance distance, and higher than Hawkeye's lift... I'm afraid I'm not worried about the kind of missile attack..."
With a certain desire, he recalled the data of the Watch Tower i, which had withdrawn from the military service and was used to replace local security forces and maritime patrols and rescue airships. He guessed the appearance of the latest equipment on the Watch Tower ii. In this short free time when the battle had not begun, he could relax and feel at ease, and suddenly the alarm from his headphones interrupted his imagination.
"The missile is coming... the direction..."
"Air Defense Module Combat Preparation..."
Americans are a group of people who are good at leveraging their technological advantages. Although the number of scholars and the direction of technological development is not clear enough, the Americans have taken many detours. But this does not prevent them from exerting the advanced technology they have obtained to the maximum strength.
Just like after purchasing Houyi-Divine Arrow K-1 production line from the Chinese Federation with a large amount of US dollars, the three armies of the US army immediately turned their enemy's hawkeye-reconnaissance/command airships into frightened birds.
"These bastards are saturated attacks again..."
Saturation attack is indeed the strength of the Americans. As the world's most prominent economy and industry power, it has absolute advantage in production and manufacturing capabilities. Houyi - the magic arrow k-1, completed the test run in 24 hours of uninterrupted debugging in just one month, and then it began to provide the United States with air missiles produced from its own country.
This time, William Frederick Halsey not only carried out a saturation attack on the Japanese Navy's Hawkeye - reconnaissance/command airship, but also dropped a large number of "silk-style guided missiles" produced by the United States.
"Report the attack missile position to the fleet..."
Colonel Akiyama, who began to worry about his Hawkeye - the reconnaissance/command airship, couldn't help but pray for the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group when he saw those flying across the sea at extremely low altitudes and forming white tracks from the screen.
"The battle has begun, I hope the fleet is ready..."

Like the fighter formations in the air, they form small and non-interference teams. In the direction of the missile attack, large areas of heavy smoke that are almost impossible to blow by the sea breeze.
These smoke contains tiny metal particles that can effectively reflect radar waves. At the same time, these smoke will form something like a thin film in the air. If missiles using TV guidance systems pass through, the lenses will be covered with a layer of fog, unless they are lucky enough to be boundless, there may be a possibility of hitting the target.
Just as the first fleet used by the Japanese Navy to compete for sea control had just arranged an air defense formation, every wave of strike force of the US military, the "silk-style guided missile", came to them.
At this time, the scene happened here as we saw in the English Channel. The Japanese Zero fighter and Feidi-z kept diving, firing at the missiles that seemed to have just vacated out of the sea and were about to take off.
The machine gun bullets drove the sea water into the sky like a fountain near a volcano, and the slippery missiles flew out of the random patterns and escaped from the net arranged by the machine gun bullets.
However, the missile group that had just rushed out of the fighter fire net immediately came to the front of those clean-class air defense warships. The first thing I encountered was a fire net composed of 127mm rapid-fire naval artillery shells and double 57mm naval artillery shells.
Although these artillery are quite powerful and are quite accurate under the irradiation of high-power radars, it is not easy to intercept these missiles that are more cunning than flexible fish in this uncertain ocean.
When the fire nets formed by these large-caliber artillery shrapnel were indifferent to the wicked short wings, playing one or two casual tricks, he almost escaped the danger of being shot down.
However, the missiles' smooth journey ended here. When they broke through the fire net composed of large-caliber naval guns, some guides who operated the missile found that their cameras were like car windows covered with dust, and the increasingly dirty scenery became more and more legally blurred in their eyes.
It would be fine if it was just such an experience, but the 20 ammunition guns on one side of each warship made them suffer.
The small-caliber ammunition that shot on the Ganjiang-class air defense warships running at high speed was as dense as the summer storm. The rough aim of machine gun bullets caused a large number of rockets to fly from their ships to the air, forming a dense barrage with the rain of bullets they shot out.
At this moment, Tadaichi Nagamo, who was very confident in the fleet's air defense, was still in the battle room where the flagship was wanted. He looked at the location of the US aircraft carrier fleet on the electronic map of Jiaobing, and he said softly, without saying a word.
