The Qin Air Force fighter pilots also felt a little embarrassed. They hurried to the anchorage. Who knew that their own fleet had already escaped?
It's okay if the fleet can't be found. The problem is the lack of guidance from the fleet. These land-based fighter pilots who came from afar have not received several maritime navigation flight trainings.
Everyone was panicking. This damn jet fighter has very little fuel. If it runs out of fuel and can't find its own fleet, and flies back on the wrong route and can't find land, how can it swim back by itself?
?
Therefore, after the extremely nervous air force pilots discovered the returning naval aviation carrier-based aircraft, they immediately pounced on it.
They didn't know that the Tang Navy's carrier-based aircraft had been updated a long time ago. They only knew that the Tang Army had used the pirate fighter model!
Don't you think this is a coincidence? If the Navy used the Sea Hurricane or Sea Spitfire, or even used the P-series aircraft of the Army Aviation that Air Force pilots have never seen, they would not be beaten so easily.
But they chose to use the Corsair. This type of fighter jet had previously played the role of a fighter jet from the Tang Dynasty in exercises. Everyone jumped on it when they got nervous.
In fact, if the communication was smooth at this time, there is a high probability that things would not develop to this point. Unfortunately, electromagnetic interference still makes communication between the two parties very difficult.
The Army Airlines could not find Hainan Airlines' channel, the Hainan Airlines did not know the call from the Army Airlines, and the fleet could not play a role in liaison and dispatch... In addition, the two armies were originally a joint force, and they did not really cooperate a few times, so in the end it became
A vicious incident occurred in which land-based air force fighter jets beat up naval carrier-based aircraft.
Hainan Airlines' side was shot down about 15 pirate fighter jets, and the Air Force's side also used up all its fuel reserves in the air battle.
There was no other way, the jet fighters began to return, and everyone went back to their homes to find their mothers. The Navy suffered a wasted loss.
"Are these Qin people deliberately joining forces with Tang to deceive us?" On the bridge of the Dorne Empire's aircraft carrier Long Live, the chief of staff of the Dorne Empire's naval fleet turned pale with anger and muttered to John Cleeves.
Of course John Cleeves knew that this was not the case, but he was indeed disgusted by this kind of attack on friendly forces.
However, as the commander of the combined fleet, he now knows that he may really need follow-up land-based fighter cover.
After all, the Navy originally had only 600 fighter jets, and now it is estimated that there are less than 600 left. However, there are at least several hundred land-based aircraft available. For the Navy, they are likely to be its own life-saving straw.
.
"Change the course! Retreat to the northwest!" John Cleeves weighed the pros and cons and prepared to move closer to the coastline of Shu so that he could get more support.
After giving the order to turn, he continued to order: "Increase the radio frequency, try to send a message with the highest level of secret code, and inform Qin of our position."
There is no other way. Since you want to rely on the other party, you can only tell the other party your retreat route. Even if it is easy to cause problems by telegraph communication at this time, the combined fleet must make an attempt.
…
As for the Tang Empire fleet, a destroyer at the forefront of the fleet has discovered the third Qin submarine using active sonar.
Of course, the submarine that was discovered could not escape the pursuit of the Tang Army's destroyers. Although the Tang Army's helicopter submarine hunting technology was not very mature at this moment, Qin's submarine technology was even more rubbish.
The noise of the submarine built by the Qin State was like a huge speaker on the seabed. In the headphones of the Tang sonar soldiers, the Qin State submarine was like a giant music player.
Holding a concert in tens of meters of water, facing mature sonar detection technology, as well as anti-submarine rockets, depth bombs, torpedoes and other weapons... the fate of Qin's submarines can be imagined.
These submarines were actually very brave. Before they were discovered, they almost always tried to surface to the periscope depth, trying to report the position of the Tang Empire fleet they saw to their superiors.
It is a pity that all these efforts were in vain. Under the strong electromagnetic interference state, none of the telegrams from these submarines were sent. Their bravery had no effect except exposing their own positions.
"This is the fourth Qin submarine... They seem to have deployed a wide range of warning areas..." The chief of staff handed Bernard the anti-submarine report of the destroyer unit and said: "Our position is
It may have been exposed."
"We have reached this state, and if we are exposed, we will be exposed... If they have the ability to organize a counterattack and fly above my head, I will write a resignation report when I get back." Bernard smiled and looked at it.
The past report was placed on the chart table.
What he said was absolutely correct. The information reported by the carrier-based aircraft units and the radar detection information provided by the early warning aircraft had confirmed that a large number of enemy warships had been sunk.
Although Bernard does not yet know how many aircraft carriers the opponent has sunk, their combat effectiveness will definitely be seriously affected.
As long as he continues to fight at his own pace, there is no reason for his fleet to be successfully counterattacked by the combined fleet. Whether it is the quality of the carrier-based aircraft or the combat effectiveness of the fleet, he has a huge, gap-like advantage.
"There is definitely no need to write your resignation report." The chief of staff laughed: "According to the scheduled plan, the third batch of carrier-based aircraft attacks will begin soon."
"The opponent's fleet tried to turn around, and they left behind a large number of injured warships. Do you want to devote some energy to dealing with them?" The carrier-based aircraft commander confirmed some information from the early warning aircraft and the Prowler electronic jammer, and walked over and asked.
"No need, just wait until we run over and let the destroyers and cruisers sink the injured warships." Bernard waved his hand and said proudly.
The corner of the carrier-based aircraft commander's mouth twitched... With a wave of your hand, you let the warships come up to take advantage of it, so who gets the final sinking record?
Although he complained in his heart, in fact he would not ask such a mindless question. After standing at attention and saluting, he took the bad news back to share with the officers and soldiers of the Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit.
Just when the Imperial Navy of the Tang Dynasty was beginning to figure out how to distribute the credit, the commander-in-chief John Cleeves of the United Fleet heard the news that his second guard fleet was almost completely wiped out.
