Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

"Promise to complete the mission!"

"As long as we have breath, the Japanese will never try to sink any warship!"

In times of crisis, the integrity of our original intentions is tested. A moment of life and death tests the responsibility of the mission.

Although everyone in the conference room experienced a Japanese air attack for the first time as a member of the navy. They were even a little nervous when they heard the air raid siren.

But as soon as Director Xiao issued the combat order, all the comrades went straight to the front line battlefield with firm faces.

fear death?

How is that possible!

It is impossible for a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death to join the navy resolutely. After all, the number one enemy of the new navy is the behemoth of the United Fleet.

The first batch of commanders who came to Liugong Island to report were all determined to succeed or succeed. The reason why they are nervous is entirely because they are afraid that the few surface ships will be damaged in the air attack.

Just as everyone was performing their duties and rushing towards their own battlefield, a soldier stopped Director Xiao and the legendary captain Philip at the gate of the Admiral's Mansion.

Time was urgent, and the signal soldier did not care about etiquette. He directly handed several telegrams to his superiors, and then reported the report in a hurried tone:

"Director Xiao, there is a call from the Coastal Radar Monitoring Station. Enemy Air Force departed from the Liaodong Peninsula at 12:05 today and is expected to arrive at the coast of Shandong Province in twenty minutes."

"The specific types and models of enemy aircraft are currently ominous, and the possibility of the presence of heavy bombers cannot be ruled out. The number is approximately 22 squadrons."

"The combat formation of the 1st Air Division is being dispatched urgently, but since most of the fighters are fighting at the northern end of Jinpu Road, they currently have only 179 fighter jets that can be dispatched."

As soon as these words came out, Director Xiao's brows immediately wrinkled.

As a senior commander with extremely rich combat experience, he naturally understood the Japanese plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

But in a sense, the enemy's move can also be regarded as a conspiracy. After all, the Army Aviation of the North China Front increased its intensity in the air battle along Jinpu Road, so the First and Second Air Divisions must strengthen their forces to accompany them to the end.

After thinking for a moment, Director Xiao turned his gaze to the legendary captain aside. After much hesitation, he finally made his request.

"Philip, I boldly predict that the Japanese army's primary attack target this time should not be our Liugong Island."

"In order to disperse the strength of the First and Second Air Divisions, the enemy did not hesitate to release heavyweights like the Third Flying Division as bait. Such a large-scale war is definitely not for a navy with only five surface ships."

"Taking advantage of the chaos to attack the air force base in Shandong Province is probably the real strategic intention of the Japanese. The enemy we need to face should not exceed one squadron."

"So, can you board the La Motte Pickett and command the fleet's air defense. Comrades, this is the first time for formal combat. If there is no backbone, I'm afraid."

Before Director Xiao finished speaking, the legendary captain patted his hand on his ally's shoulder. His eyes were extremely resolute, and he gave a direct answer with body movements.

To put it bluntly, Philip has always felt that they, Free France, had taken advantage of the agreement between the two parties.

TG actually paid real money. All kinds of army and air force equipment were sent to the Red Sea in wagons and wagons. They even didn't refuse requests for customized equipment.

Such an exaggerated 10 billion subsidy for Huang Duoduo provides strong support for their future counterattack plan. It is not an exaggeration to call him a foster father.

On the other hand, apart from sending a group of military advisers, it is basically all empty promises.

Toulon fleet?

It was still in Darlan's hands, and no one knew whether the Free French could successfully retake it.

The only light cruiser, although it legally belonged to France, was the result of the Eighth Route Army leading the Viet Minh to flex its muscles in Indochina.

After all, Philip has truly become the representative of ocean-going beggars. Now that he has the opportunity to repay his allies, the legendary captain will naturally not miss it.

"Xiao, leave everything to me. I'll set off now and try to board the La Motte Pickett as quickly as possible."

"As long as I am here, there will never be any problems with the North Sea Fleet. I swear on the centenary honor of Joan of Arc and Burmik!"

After speaking, Philip did not wait for a response from his allies, and directly rode on the motorcycle dedicated to the Governor's Palace and headed straight to the dock. After driving more than ten meters, he turned back and shouted:

"Remember to send a telegram to the current captain of the La Motte Pickett to explain the fleet command authority!"

······

Ten minutes later, Philip boarded the ship successfully. Under pressure from the Japanese Army Aviation, he directly commanded the ship to sail out of the port and head to the open sea to join four American destroyers on standby.

The reason why the La Motte Pict was able to go to sea so quickly was also due to the correct regulations of not shutting down the boilers during war preparations.

For a warship like her that is powered by a military oil-fired boiler and steam turbine system, it would take several hours to move out if it were to be cold-started from scratch.

Even if Kuznetsov and the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier decades later want to cold start, this process will be the same. Boiling water is very time-consuming.

Looking at the fleet that was about to complete its formation change, the legendary captain Philip finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not his fault. With the anti-aircraft armament of these five ships, even if the Japanese army sends out a flying team, it will take a long time. This is without the island's garrison to help.

"Okay, relax. If you are too nervous, you will not be able to perform well next time."

"Besides, all the weapons on the ship are familiar equipment. You are probably the most familiar people in Asia about the power of the combination of Bofors and Oerlikon. Just let it go."

"The Type 1 Fighting Falcon is also a chicken. Now it's time for us to hunt turkeys!"

Before this, since the comrades had never officially fought with Japanese fighter planes at sea, everyone was basically in a state of lack of confidence.

There was no way, mainly because the comrades made a lot of noise in Pearl Harbor. And everyone saw with their own eyes the miserable appearance of the Ugly Country's trading fleet when it arrived at Liugong Island. The enemy is notorious.

What if the Japanese Army Aviation also secretly learned a few tricks, then the offensive deterrence would be maximized.

In addition, the 1st and 3rd Air Divisions of our side had sunk many surface ships of the Combined Fleet, which made the soldiers have an indescribable fear of the little man in the sky.

However, the above emotions were really alleviated to a certain extent under Philip's joke. As long as we win another big victory, comrades will be able to completely break the demon in their hearts.

A correct version in the 16-9 book forum!

"Pass my order, the fleet should always maintain the wheel formation and increase the density and continuity of anti-aircraft firepower as much as possible."

"As for the navigation route, just circle around Liugong Island. The anti-aircraft forces on the island are all our strong backing. No matter how many Japanese come, they will die!"

······

Five minutes later, the airspace northeast of Liugong Island.

It turned out that Director Xiao's guess was indeed not a big problem. The main target of the attack by the army aviation was indeed the Eighth Route Army Air Force Base located in the eastern part of Shandong Province.

However, he didn't guess one thing right. The incoming enemy aircraft was not just one squadron, but 21 fighters of various models, including two Type 97 heavy bombers.

"Mr. Funaki, why does our squadron have to escort light and heavy bombers to carry out bombing missions alone?"

"With our bomb load, we are fully capable of destroying a small field airport. It would be a waste of talent to use it to bomb an abandoned base on the naval road."

Hearing this, Lieutenant Akihisa Funaki from the Second Flight Group also became depressed.

Before departure, his lieutenant general personally summoned him and asked his squadron to escort ten bombers to carry out special missions. If you see a ship around the island, attack it directly. If not, go straight to Shandong.

As for the specific reason?

This is not something a little lieutenant can find out, just follow the order honestly.

Thinking of this, Akihisa Funaki simply ordered in the communication channel of the formation:

"Gentlemen, please open your eyes. You may not believe it when I say this, but I think the Eighth Route Army may have a navy, otherwise the lieutenant general would not have sent us to Weihai."

As soon as this was said, all the Japanese began to scratch their heads.

Eighth Route Army Navy? This sounds a bit too outrageous.

For the air force, it doesn't take much time to build an airplane, and it's not difficult to train pilots.

But the navy is not a branch of the military that ordinary forces can develop. It's expensive and time-consuming. Even their own navy took decades to grow.

However, the Japanese didn't wonder for too long, because they soon saw the real owner of this trip, a small surface fleet consisting of five warships.

"Look, there's really one!"

"Look, there's an oil storage area on the island! If we can successfully blow it up, our squadron will be able to make a great military achievement! Your Majesty Tianhuang! My mission is accomplished!"

As soon as the voice fell, the originally blue sky was suddenly covered with dense black clouds. The barrage of VT fuze shells exploding could almost shatter the Japanese fighter planes.

If the Japanese wanted to shoot an army version of Eternal Zero, then the airspace of Liugong Island at this time would definitely be the best location.

This sky full of black clouds can be used directly as a feature film without editing or special effects.

Faced with the sudden attack, the pangolin just now shattered on the spot. A 100mm shell hit the bull's eye, blasting the plane and the people into flying debris.

"Baga, this is not Weihai at all, have we mistakenly entered the Bremen submarine base in Germany? Push the fuel quickly, the speed of the fighter plane is basically a sitting duck!" (End of this chapter)
