Chapter 148 Found the trace of the enemy

This made the senior executives of the command headquarters unable to understand why the aircraft carrier formation that was traveling well on the established route, why did Andete order to turn to 90 degrees? Is this the Krupp family's luck, or was it a great fortune or a blessing from God, or is this kid really a war genius, he realized Marshal Redel's intention. All the senior executives of the command headquarters could not understand Li Mo at this time, who Andete was! In the past, he used to be a thing that steals fragrance and jade, but in just two years, he became a versatile talent who can connect with both land and sea. It was simply incredible.

The aircraft sent by Li Mo searched the Redel fleet with a large range of aircraft carriers with a radius of 300 nautical miles. Soon the search aircraft discovered Rutt's encirclement squadron and found that the pilot of the Redel squadron immediately reported the location of the squadron via radio:

"Report to the commander-in-chief, we found some of the warships of the Redell fleet at 121 degrees east longitude 33 degrees west longitude 11 seconds, with twenty-one numbers, including fourteen destroyers, five light cruisers, and two supply ships. No submarines were found to be accompanied by them."

Deputy Captain Stephen has been waiting by the telegraph machine, handling all kinds of telegrams and intelligence sent from the front line at any time. Stephen was really surprised when he received this telegram. Marshal Redell was going to make dumplings! Stephen did not dare to delay at all, and quickly sent the telegram to Li Mo:

"Commander-in-chief, something is not good. We found Marshal Redel's squadron on our right, about 250 kilometers away from us, and they were interspersing behind us at full speed."

"Oh, don't panic. This method cannot defeat us. The mountain people have their own tricks. First: order my formation to turn left 18 degrees immediately, and then retreat at full speed. Second, all bf109s continue to search for the main force of the Redell fleet. All Ju87 dive bombers immediately return to the air and hang up torpedo and refuel, and attack the Redell fleet with all their strength."

Stephen hurriedly conveyed Li Mo's orders, and the entire aircraft carrier formation suddenly sounded a shrill battle alarm. Everyone on the Zeppelin aircraft carrier was running towards their combat posts. Li Mo saw the irregular preparations from the watchtower, and couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart that these bastards under him were foolish before, but after training, they were really good.

The news of the Limo aircraft carrier formation discovered that the Redel squadron was sent back to the command headquarters as soon as possible. Now even Marshal Kettle, who supported Marshal Radell, was speechless. From the beginning of the war, Marshal Radell's arrangement was very rigorous and there was no mistake at all, but why was it passive everywhere? Now Limo's aircraft carrier fleet discovered Redel's squadron, and Redel still had no idea of ​​the specific position of the Limo aircraft carrier formation, because Limo attacked with a carrier-based aircraft, which shows that Marshal Radell could only be beaten but could not fight back. Everyone had nothing to say. Those who supported Marshal Radell were praying in their hearts. Limo's air strike suffered heavy losses and was ineffective. Is this true?

Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation was driving at full speed and turned to evacuate. In order to increase the distance from Redel's main fleet, why not the distance from Rutt's squadron! Because Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation was running parallel to Rutt's squadron at this time, with the same route. The distance between the two was 250 kilometers, which was a very good air strike distance. Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation was not afraid that Rutt's fleet would catch up with him.

Now Li Mo's course is consistent with Marshal Redell's main fleet, with the vertical distance between the two courses being one hundred nautical miles. Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation can allow slow-speed submarines to surface and sail with all their strength, while Redell's main fleet submarines cannot surface and sail, at least during the day, so the speed of Redell's main fleet is at least 30% slower than Li Mo.

Li Mo planned to distance himself from Redel's main fleet while trying his best to get rid of Rutt's squadron, and then turn around to deal with Redel, the old stubborn.

Just when Li Mo's plane discovered Rutt's squadron, Rutt also discovered the airplane. This made Rutt worry and exposed himself. It seemed that the method of encircling the back of Andet was not feasible. Rutt quickly sent this information to Marshal Redel. Marshal Redel was of course not stupid. He quickly ordered Rutt's squadron to change the route, search and advance towards the established route of the exercise, and at the same time sent his own water reconnaissance plane to search.

The Zeppelin aircraft carrier was full of busy figures. The ju87 and BF109 that were returning one after another were nervously loading torpedoes and refueling. One was ready to take off immediately. These takeoff planes were hovering over the aircraft carrier formation, waiting for other aircraft to take off and come to join the formation. This process took about twenty minutes, and there was no way out. The Zeppelin aircraft carrier could not take off and land forty-two aircraft at once, and could only take off in batches.

Schmidt personally led the team to carry out the bombing mission because this was an exercise, and the danger was not very high. All warheads were specially made plastic warheads, but they were also dangerous, but they were not as powerful as real shells.

Soon, Li Mo, who was standing in the observation deck, heard Schmidt's request:

"Report to the commander-in-chief, our formation has been prepared. There are 30 Ju87 dive bombers, all carrying heavy torpedoes, escorting 4 BF109 battles, and requesting to start the bombing mission."

"Execute now, I wish you so far away, my friend."

"Commander-in-chief, just wait for my good news!"

Schmidt led the entire formation to rush to Rutt's squadron, and Rutt also sent his only two of them. The two aircraft were searching side by side and searching forward. They met Schmidt's fleet on the way. When the two seaplanes saw Li Mo's fleet, they quickly reported the situation to their superiors and fled quickly. How could Schmidt let these two seaplanes escape? His aircraft carrier must not be exposed. The wolf pack tactics of the Denitz submarine are not so easy to deal with.

One of the seaplanes was hit by bf109 and dozens of inkjet plastic warheads. The pilot of the bf109 fighter immediately called the pilot of the seaplane through the public radio station, telling him that he had been shot down and immediately withdrawn from the exercise. The aircraft must also withdraw from the exercise immediately, otherwise it would be a violation. However, the other seaplane hid in the clouds and lost trace. Schmidt could only send two bf109s to continue chasing and annihilation of the water reconnaissance planes that were missing.

Half an hour later, Schmidt discovered the Rutt squadron that was searching for his own formation. Rutt was still good. The entire fleet was searching for aviation formations. The destroyers were on the periphery, and the light cruiser, as the main force of the squadron, was placed in the center of the fleet.
