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 to 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 1st and 2nd 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 carloads and carloads. 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 finishing speaking, Philip did not wait for the allies to respond, and directly rode on the motorcycle dedicated to the Governor's Palace and went 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, everyone, relax. If you are too nervous, you will easily perform abnormally next time."

"Besides, all the weapons on the ship are familiar equipment. You are probably the best people in Asia who know the power of the combination of Bofors and Oerlikon. Just let go and fight after a while."

"A fighting falcon is also a chicken, and now it's time for us to hunt turkeys!"

Before this, because the comrades had not officially fought against Japanese fighter planes at sea, everyone was basically in a state of lack of confidence.

There's nothing I can do about it, mainly because the commotion I made at Pearl Harbor was really big. Moreover, everyone saw with their own eyes the tragic scene when the Chou Kingdom's trading fleet arrived at Liugong Island. The enemy had a notorious reputation.

What if the Japanese army Lu Hang secretly learns a few tricks? Then the offensive deterrence will be fully maximized.

Coupled with the fact that the 1st and 3rd Air Divisions of our own side frequently bombed and sank surface ships of the United Fleet, this gave the soldiers an unspeakable fear of the little men in the air.

However, the above-mentioned emotions were relieved to a certain extent by Philip's joke. As long as we get another big victory, the comrades will be able to completely break their inner demons.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Pass my order. Next, the fleet must always maintain a 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 air defense forces on the island are all our strong backing. No matter how many Japanese come here, they are seeking their own death!"

······

Five minutes later, the airspace northeast of Liugong Island.

Facts have proved that Director Xiao’s conjecture is indeed not a big problem. The main target of the army aviation attack is indeed the Eighth Route Army Air Force Base located in the eastern part of Shandong Province.

But one thing he didn't guess correctly was that the incoming enemy planes were not just one squadron, but 21 fighter planes of various types, including two 97 heavy explosions.

"Funaki-kun, why does our squadron **** light and heavy explosions to carry out bombing missions alone?"

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

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

Before departure, he will be personally summoned to his home to ask his squadron to **** ten bombers to perform special missions. If you see a boat near the island, attack it directly. If not, then go straight to Ludong.

As for the specific reason?

This is not something that a young lieutenant can inquire about. Just carry out the order honestly.

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

"Gentlemen, please keep your eyes open. You may not believe it. I think the Eighth Route Army may have a navy, otherwise the Lieutenant General would not have sent us to Weihai."

As soon as these words came out, the Japanese all started scratching their heads.

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

Forget it about the Air Force. After all, 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 service that can be developed by ordinary forces. It is expensive and time-consuming. Even his own Navy Red Deer took decades to grow.

However, the Japs did not wonder for too long, because they soon saw the real owner of this trip, a small surface fleet composed of five warships.

"Look, it's really there!"

"Look, there is actually an oil storage area on the island! If we can blow it up successfully, our squadron will achieve great military exploits! Your Majesty Tianlocust! My mission is accomplished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally blue sky was suddenly filled with dense black clouds. The barrage of exploding VT fuse shells could almost shatter the enemy's fighter jets.

If the Japanese want to shoot an army version of Forever Zero, then the airspace of Liugong Island at this time is definitely the best location.

This dark cloud in the sky can be used directly as a feature film without editing or special effects.

Facing the sudden attack, the pangolin was shattered on the spot. A 100mm shell hit the bullseye, blasting the plane and people into flying debris.

"Baga, this is not Weihai at all. We may have mistakenly entered the Bremen submarine base in Germany. Push the fuel quickly, the current speed of the fighter plane is simply a living target!" (End of this chapter)
