Ouyang Yun picked up the phone at hand and said: "I'm Ouyang Yun, help me find General Gu." The door of the office was knocked, and Gu Lianyun's voice rang outside: "Report, Commander Chen has the latest battle report.
.”
Li Tieshu sat closest to the door. He stood up, opened the door and asked, "Why, the Pacific Fleet won another battle."
Gu Lianyun raised his hand to salute everyone, then presented the telegram to him and said with a smile: "Commander Chen adopted Commander Guo's suggestion and preemptively bombed the three frontline airports of the Japanese army in the Philippines. The operation was very successful, with minimal effort.
At the cost, the 11th Japanese Aviation Division was completely annihilated, all supporting facilities at three airports were destroyed, more than 200 Japanese aircraft were blown up, and more than 1,000 enemy personnel were wiped out."
Li Tieshu carefully glanced at the battle report and then handed it to Jiang Guangnai on his left, saying: "Okay, just don't take action. Once you do it, it's amazing. We won two battles only three or four hours apart. Tsk, tsk, I want to go now."
Pacific Fleet, even if you are the commander of a squadron."
"It's that kid from Chen Shichang." Jiang Guangnai said. He took the telegram and read it carefully, then handed it to Ouyang Yun and asked, "Are the new weapons mentioned in the battle report missiles?"
In order to prevent the telegram from being intercepted, Chen Shichang replaced the "Tianlei KKII" air-to-air missile with "new weapon" in the battle report, saying that the new weapon was successful when it was used in actual combat for the first time, and the pilot of the downed Japanese aircraft had excellent driving skills.
, and finally a bunch of data is listed,
Ouyang Yun was most concerned about these data. He read the data one by one carefully, then handed the telegram to Ji Xingwen, raised his head and responded to Jiang Guangnai: "To be precise, it is a guided missile. After being launched, it can automatically track enemy aircraft.
, until the target is shot down or the fuel is exhausted. If the fuel is exhausted, it will self-destruct."
Jiang Guangnai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "So, with this kind of missile, the safety of our pilots will be greatly improved. This kind of weapon should be promoted to the entire army as soon as possible."
"It's not possible yet. There are still some problems with the aiming equipment. It needs to capture the target through radar to lock it. The R&D institute is making improvements and trying to get rid of the radar. Otherwise, the cost will be too high and it will not be popularized."
"Oh." Jiang Guangnai looked a little disappointed,
Ouyang Yunzhuan said to Gu Lianyun: "I have something to ask you. Help me draft a transfer order..."
The three frontline airports of the Japanese army in the Philippines were successfully destroyed. The security risks of the Xuebing Fleet were not completely eliminated, because the submarine force of the Japanese raid fleet did not yet know where they were hiding. The Xuebing Army itself paid special attention to submarine tactics, so
Chen Shichang was also very clear about the dangers of submarines. He did not dare to relax his anti-submarine operations at all, and was ready to attack the Japanese submarine force at any time.
The emergence of carrier-based helicopters is a major innovation in anti-submarine technology. Anti-submarine helicopters are more convenient to take off and land than fighter planes, and there are no runway requirements. Therefore, destroyers and cruisers with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons can carry them, while similar helicopters with a displacement of 10,000 tons can carry them.
The above heavy cruisers and battleships can carry three to five. The Pacific Fleet has eleven heavy cruisers and two battleships. These thirteen battleships alone carry twenty-eight helicopters. This type of helicopter is armed with Albatross.
The anti-submarine helicopter converted from the transport helicopter can fly for five hours with enough fuel. This ensures that the Pacific Fleet will be accompanied by no less than ten helicopters almost every minute and every second.
Just when the Pacific Air Force began to bomb the three front-line airports of the Japanese army, a water reconnaissance plane launched by an I-15 submarine under Morikawa discovered the figure of the Pacific Fleet. The Japanese pilot of the plane immediately risked Dangerously flew close to the Xue Pacific Fleet to conduct close-range reconnaissance. As soon as he saw the size and formation of the Xue Pacific Fleet and the helicopters flying around the fleet, he was identified by the Xue Bingjun. Chen Shichang immediately ordered the remaining white-tailed dolphins to take off. Expelled, the Japanese planes saw Xuebingjun taking off combat aircraft, how dare they stay any longer, turned around and ran away.
This reconnaissance plane brought back the first-hand intelligence information that Morikawa was most eager to obtain. This is also the most comprehensive piece of information about the Pacific Fleet that the Japanese army has obtained so far. This was originally a good thing for Morikawa. However, because of the The size of the fleet far exceeded his expectations, and it seemed to have strict anti-submarine measures. This made him beat the drum in his heart. Suddenly, it lost its previous momentum. In fact, after the surface ship force was completely wiped out by the aviation force of the Pacific Fleet, , Morikawa realized that the enemy was not as good at naval combat as they had guessed before. Their performance, unlike that of rookies, was clearly the performance of an elite team that has experienced many battles. Originally, he was counting on using the Chinese to attack anti-submarine warfare. Being unfamiliar with combat, he launched a surprise attack and used a hearty victory to offset the blame for the total annihilation of the surface fleet. However, now, after noticing the information about "more than ten helicopters accompanying the flight" in the intelligence, he realized that this The new fighter plane was used by the Chinese for anti-submarine warfare. Their self-confidence was hit and they began to become suspicious. "Obviously, Mr. Koizumi underestimated the combat power of the Chinese. Perhaps they can only place their hope on the 50 special attack aircraft..." I thought. With this in mind, Morikawa revised the battle plan and decided not to use all submarines to participate in the raid, but only sent the Min-03 ship and let it fly a Fifty Special Attack Aircraft for a trial attack.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, after sailing a distance of more than 12,000 kilometers, the Pacific Fleet finally arrived at its destination and entered Sarangani Bay in the southern part of Mindanao, Philippines. At half past five, the beginning of Several light cruisers and destroyers appeared in the eyes of the American coalition officers and soldiers waiting around the pier of General Santos City. Cheers immediately sounded on the pier. There were no Japanese troops on Mindanao, and because all three Japanese front-line airports were bombed, there was no need for them. Worried about Japanese air raids, Guo Kui discussed with his senior officers and decided not to restrict the movement of the officers and soldiers and allowed them to go to the dock to witness this grand event. The coalition forces all moved and gathered around the dock to watch. Guo Kui, worried that the crowd would cause a tragedy such as a stampede or being pushed into the sea, had to order the troops to move in company units and let Zhang Liang lead the headquarters security. The army and the Second Jungle Special Operations Regiment formed a military police force to maintain order. The reason why the students and the American soldiers were so enthusiastic was because they all couldn't wait to leave the Philippines as soon as possible. In the words of the American soldiers, they were in the Philippines. I have stayed here enough, and my body has become moldy. Being able to leave this hellish place a second earlier is something I wish for. For Xuebing, leaving this hellish place is certainly a desire from the bottom of my heart. There is another reason. Because the Pacific Fleet is the ocean-going fleet of their trainees, and it is the pride of all their trainees.
"Look, there are so many big ships."
"Tsk, tsk, it's so spectacular. We have a fleet of such a size, why worry about the little Japs not being destroyed?"
"Ho ho, long live the Xuebing Army, long live the Pacific Fleet."
...The ecstatic performance of the cadets made the Americans find it a bit hard to accept. The Pacific Fleet was once their pride, but now, the world seems to have forgotten their Pacific Fleet.
"Before our Pacific Fleet was attacked, it was much larger than this." Among the crowd on the right side of the pier, a US captain suddenly said to a tall cadet lieutenant next to him,
The tall student lieutenant had a cold expression on his face, but his eyes were filled with fanatical light. Hearing this, he turned to look at the U.S. captain and said with a grin: "Bryson, don't be unconvinced, say so yourself. Yes, what you call the Pacific Fleet was before the attack. Now, this Pacific Fleet is what we learned from the military, and it belongs to China. Without it, we would not be able to do without the Philippines, and we might even die in the battle. Here.”
"Wolf, I feel very bad. As a friend, can't you comfort me?" Branson said dejectedly.
"I feel bad, because of jealousy, Branson, you should feel happy and lucky, because this fleet is now owned by your allies, not the Japanese."
"Wolf, you are always as sharp as ever."
Wolf's real name is Wang Lang. Wang Lang doesn't talk much, but once he speaks, he speaks blood. This is famous among the lower-level officers and soldiers of the Allied Forces in the Far East.
At the front of the dock, Guo Kui, Huang Hua, Guo Da, Huang Haifu, Sharp, Bai Jia and Wainwright IV were waiting there surrounded by a group of brigade-level officers. Everyone's eyes passed through the first ones. The light battleships landed on the aircraft carriers, battleships and heavy cruisers a little further away. Guo Kui turned to Huang Hua and others and said: "I didn't expect that in just a few years, such a large fleet would be assembled by the commander-in-chief. , the commander-in-chief is really a god." Then he asked Sharp on the side: "Deputy Commander Xia, I heard that your country also had a Pacific fleet before, how does it compare with our fleet."
The way Guo Kui used words to address Americans once made them very cold, but because resistance was ineffective, over time, now everyone, including Pajia and Wainwright IV, has become accustomed to it.
The Pacific Fleet was getting closer and closer, and the fighter planes parked on the deck were clearly visible. The expressions of Sharp, Boga, and Wainwright IV became more and more complicated. Among them, Wainwright IV, the most sentimental one, even Sighing and a gloomy expression, unlike the officers and soldiers below, they would not consider anything else as long as they could leave the Philippines. As senior leaders of the US military stationed in the Philippines, Sharp and others had long been accustomed to looking at all problems from the overall perspective, so as long as When they hear the name Pacific Fleet, they will inevitably think of their own country's Pacific Fleet, and then they will be full of worries about the current war situation. The US military stationed in the Philippines, including the Philippine troops under their control, will withdraw to Australia. This news passed through the Far East Allied Forces The propaganda of the headquarters has long been known to everyone, but the real purpose of their withdrawal to Australia is only known to the senior leaders of the headquarters. They did not withdraw from the front line and go to Australia for rest and vacation, but just changed the battlefield. Fighting in one place was not enough to make Sharp and others so worried. However, the order received by the Far East Allied Forces Command did not contain a decision on the final destination of Guo Kui's Second Expeditionary Army. After fighting the Japanese army for nearly a year, the US military in the Philippines has long been accustomed to having cadets to help them hold down the battle. This makes Sharp and others very worried. Without the help of cadets, can they maintain their current combat effectiveness? ,
