Chapter 183 Find the enemy's aircraft carrier

"We must find the location of the US aircraft carrier." Lieutenant General Takagi Takeo, who rushed back quickly on the USS Ruihe aircraft carrier, said to the person in front of him.

They are now in a dual aircraft carrier formation, the Ruihe and Shohe, both of which are the latest aircraft carriers in service in the island country. These two aircraft carriers were ordered to block the Indian Ocean and deal with the remaining British navy. After receiving the order, they rushed back to the Pacific from the Indian Ocean.

Now, they already know that the American aircraft carrier has appeared, and they need to find the American aircraft carrier formation!

Now, the sky outside is not very bright.

"Yes, we must find the opponent's aircraft carrier as soon as possible." Rear Admiral Takaichi, who is in charge of aviation operations, said: "Now, we will take off six sets of carrier-based aircraft and search for the enemy in the waters ahead of us."

On the deck, Captain Sato Masao flew his Zero fighter and quickly took off from the deck. Behind him, one Zero after another took off.

Although it is still dark now, it will be dawn when they fly over the waters where the target may be. The advantage of the long-range voyage of Zero War will have a great advantage in this kind of action.

Twelve aircraft were divided into six groups, and they searched for enemies within 250 nautical miles between 180 degrees and 270 degrees.

In this era, radar is still a luxury and technical and outdated equipment. At sea, it can only search for dozens of kilometers at most, and it cannot meet the search for aircraft carrier formations at all.

Even Germany is now studying how to deploy radars on carrier-based aircraft to search targets on the sea surface, and even if there are miniaturized transistors, this is a very difficult task.

In fact, even in later generations, searching for the other party's aircraft carrier formation on the sea is a difficult problem.

In this era, there is no choice but to rely on the naked eyes of the pilot!

Captain Masao Sato is experienced. He has been flying on the Zero fighter for thousands of hours, and twelve shots have been taken down. Now, he is flying the light Zero fighter, flying towards the opposite side according to the display on the compass.

It is easy to feel lonely at sea. The sea and sky are in the sky. In addition to blue, people will feel their insignificance. However, as naval aviation soldiers, they have long been used to this kind of flight.

The opponent is also an aircraft carrier formation. In this kind of aircraft carrier duel, whoever can discover the opponent first will have the advantage!

After continuing to fly for more than an hour, the sky began to brighten. Captain Masao Sato contacted his wingman on the radio. The two of them were responsible for half of the airspace and began to observe.

Time passed by little by little. Half an hour later, two targets appeared in Captain Sato's vision. In an instant, he became excited: "Discover the target, an aircraft carrier, a cruiser, each, in the No. 13 Waters! East longitude ***, South latitude ***."

In order to avoid irritating the other party, Captain Sato Masao did not rashly approach, but hid further and entered the clouds to follow the other party.

Now, the other party is in the sailing stage and has not even taken off an escort plane. At this time, the sneak attack will be the best result. If he goes over, alerts the enemy and lets the carrier-based aircraft fly, it will be detrimental to his own attack.

Americans will never be able to escape as long as they are discovered by themselves!

Discover the target! After receiving a report of our search for the plane, the island aircraft carrier formation became busy in an instant.

"Accelerate, sail at full speed, prepare to release carrier-based aircraft!" Lieutenant General Takeo Takagi shouted: "Release 50 Stuka bombers and 20 Zero fighters to launch an attack on US aircraft carriers!"

Hearing his words, Rear Admiral Yuan Zhongyi couldn't help but be stunned: "50 aircraft? Will there be more? We will deal with an aircraft carrier and a cruiser, 10 Stukas are enough."

The Stuka bombers played the main role in bombing Pearl Harbor, which made the islanders very satisfied. Therefore, the islanders ordered a batch of new ones to accelerate the elimination of the existing Type 97 ship attack and Type 99 ship explosion. They have already planned to use this bomber as their main naval bomber, and it is the most appropriate to perform anti-ship missions.

The Ruihe and Shohe are both the latest aircraft carriers in service, with a full load displacement of more than 30,000 tons. Each aircraft carrier is equipped with more than 80 fighter jets, and the attack power is quite strong. This is also the reason why Lieutenant General Takeo Takagi plans to release 50 aircraft at a time.

He is the commander-in-chief of the fleet and has the right to decide. Now, he said to his generals: "There may be more warships hidden behind us, and we must kill them all at once!"

The island navy has strength. If they want to dispatch, they are large formations and must send all the US aircraft carrier formations to the bottom of the sea!

Take off, take off!

The 8-seater ship-type special-burning boiler began to burn full power, and the steam pressure reached the maximum. The 4-seater ship-type steam turbines burst out with powerful power of 160,000 horsepower, and the two aircraft carriers quickly accelerated to 30 knots.

take off!

Having been lifted to the deck of the aircraft carrier by the lift, Captain Stuka bomber's squadron leader Akira Sakamoto drove his Stuka and left the aircraft carrier first, driving at full speed, and rushing towards the inevitable direction.

Aboard the Xianghe, the carrier-based aircraft are also taking off continuously.

The two aircraft carriers soon released 50 Stukas, 20 aircraft zero battles, formed a large group of aircraft, and rushed towards the target 300 kilometers away!

Under Captain Akira Sakamoto's belly, the most expensive PC1,000 bombs were hung. In the attack at Pearl Harbor, this bomb has been proven to be a very effective weapon, enough to kill a large battleship in one!

At the same time, this weapon imported from Germany is also quite expensive and must be cherished and used. Therefore, only four of the fifty Stukas were mounted this time. They prepared specifically for bombing US aircraft carriers. Even the ten-ton-ton warships were ignored and could be sunk by the 500-kilogram bombs mounted by ordinary Stukas.

The flight was boring, but fortunately, the target finally appeared in front of me before not waiting for a long time.

The other party still had no reaction, this was the best opportunity for one's own attack!

Once again, the extremely safe inspection was lifted. Captain Akira Sakamoto, who was flying in front, had already begun to enter the attack route. His fighter propeller was spinning rapidly, and the wings of the inverted seagull were so spectacular.

It was getting closer, and suddenly, Captain Akira Sakamoto rubbed his eyes, as if he didn't believe his 5.0 vision. He looked over again and finally confirmed.
