After Lei Shaoqing left, Hao Dongjue went to the aviation command cabin. He mobilized the air service personnel first, asked the air service personnel to prepare reconnaissance aircraft first, inspect the bomber, and make preparations in all aspects. Then, Hao Dongjue gathered all the reconnaissance pilots and announced the reconnaissance operation to them.

This sea area is the most important point. In addition, we need to search at least three other directions. The reconnaissance mission is extremely heavy. Hao Dongjue marked four reconnaissance areas on the chart hanging on the blackboard. The reconnaissance routes have been set. This time, we should take as much fuel as possible, fly with cruise, and try to increase patrol time. Seaplanes do not need to return to the fleet directly, leaving fuel to return to Wake Island is enough. We have contacted General Han Shaofeng. They will prepare aviation gasoline. Then we will notify you of the specific location and situation of the fleet. Everyone, do you have any other problems?

Reconnaissance Pilot 6 continued to raise some important questions, some of which came from cruisers. Hao Dongjue also answered these questions. Almost at the same time, the Chief of Aviation Operations Staff of the Second Special Mixed Fleet was also doing related work, and he will also arrange the mission of the bomber pilot.

Tan Renhao did not interfere in Hao Dongjue's affairs as always, and let Hao Dongjue use his greatest ability. After completing the deployment, Tan Renhao was still a little worried. There were actually too many loopholes in this battle. The biggest problem was that he still could not accurately determine the specific location of Spruenz, so he could only increase the search efforts and expand the reconnaissance range. The result of this was that all the seaplanes, all aircraft carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, and more than ten bombers in the fleet were used to perform reconnaissance missions. However, the sea areas that these aircraft could search were quite limited, and the current US fleet's chances would never be 100%.

The more he thought about it, Tan Renhao became a little more irritable. In the past, when he fought against any opponent, he could either show the other party in advance or determine where the other party appeared. But this time, he felt that his eyes were pitch black. Even if he held powerful weapons in his hand to kill the enemy, what's the use of not seeing the enemy? Maybe, the only thing Tan Renhao could count on was that Spruins could not see himself. At most, both sides fought in the dark, and both sides returned to the balance point. But the problem is that now Tan Renhao didn't know whether Spruins had seen them or whether they had judged their positions. Even if Spruins only roughly judged their positions, the balance would also turn to the US side.

After Hao Dongjue deployed the reconnaissance mission, he returned to the commander's cabin. He then deployed the mission for the bomber pilot in half an hour. According to Tan Renhao's plan, before dawn, the fleet still needed to arrange at least one squadron of air defense fighters, and these things did not need to be explained specifically to the pilot. Among the two batches of ground bombers prepared by the First Special Mixed Fleet, there were two escort fighters in the first wave of bombers. There were only one squadron in the second wave. This was the most reasonable arrangement that Hao Dongjue could make.

Seeing Tan Renhao standing next to the porthole, Hao Dongjue did not disturb him. In the past few days, Hao Dongjue also noticed the changes in his partner. In every battle in the past, Tan Renhao was very confident, as if he had already seized the victory. But this time, Tan Renhao's performance was completely different. From the time the fleet headed north, Tan Renhao seemed worried, as if he was very worried and afraid. Perhaps it was a bit unpowerful with fear, but it is certain that Tan Renhao was very cautious and cautious in all aspects. This made Hao Dongjue feel that Tan Renhao was a little too careful and lacked in progress.

After all the reconnaissance work was arranged, Tan Renhao felt that after Hao Dongjue came over, he turned to ancient times, and his expression seemed very haggard.

All have been arranged, and the first batch of reconnaissance planes took off in half an hour. Hao Dongjue looked at the navigation clock and said that at that time, I will deploy the bombing mission.

Remember to let the air defense fighter take off first, and the air defense patrol radius is 35 nautical miles. Tan Renhao reminded Hao Dongjue again that the fleet's sentry ships should be sent out as soon as possible to make everyone be vigilant.

All have been arranged. Don't worry, we will win.

Tan Renhao nodded with a smile. I'll go eat something, what do you want to eat, and I'll bring it back to you later.

No, after I arranged the bombing mission, I went to the restaurant for breakfast.

Tan Renhao didn't say anything more. After leaving the commander cabin, he went directly to the officer's restaurant. After a busy night, he was not tired, but hungry.

When Tan Renhao finished breakfast, the reconnaissance aircraft of the First Special Mixed Fleet continued to take off.

Both aircraft carriers had completed their turn, and the reconnaissance planes were leaving the 6. The cruisers were also busy, and the seaplanes were also ejected by the 6. There were seaplanes on any cruiser in the Tang Empire. In fact, at that time, except for large warship aircraft carriers with displacement of more than 10,000 tons in the naval force in most countries in the world, they would carry several seaplanes on them.

Previously, someone proposed to use small aircraft carriers to carry reconnaissance aircraft specifically to cooperate with large fleet aircraft carriers. This opinion has not been adopted by any country. The reason is very simple. If you have the money to build small aircraft carriers, it is better to use them to build large fleet aircraft carriers. In addition, only reconnaissance aircraft is not a waste of time. The reconnaissance aircraft has not strict requirements on the degree. The most important thing is the flight radius and good long-range communication equipment. The seaplanes carried on cruisers can be sufficient to meet these requirements as long as they are appropriately improved. In addition, the seaplanes carried by cruisers can also be used as artillery correction aircraft, which can be used to collect people falling into the water, can be used for long-range communication, and can even be used to transport personnel. It can be said to be a multi-purpose aircraft, so there is no need to launch a small aircraft carrier specifically carrying reconnaissance aircraft.

When the reconnaissance aircraft of the First Special Mix Fleet began to take off, the reconnaissance aircraft of the Second Special Mix Fleet also continued to take off. The reconnaissance missions of the two Special Mix Fleets were arranged in a unified manner. In order to coordinate the combat operations of the two fleets as much as possible, the Second Special Mix Fleet adopted a communication channel used by the First Special Mix Fleet to communicate with the reconnaissance aircraft. That is to say, the signal returned by any reconnaissance aircraft can be received by the two fleets without any other means of forwarding information.

After releasing the reconnaissance aircraft, the two aircraft carriers of the First Special Mix Fleet temporarily returned to the core of the battle group. The two aircraft carriers of the Second Special Mix Fleet did not change their course and were still sailing against the wind. According to the plan, the Second Special Mix Fleet will immediately send a group of bombers to bomb the US military and land six times after sending the reconnaissance aircraft. This plan is provided by the First Special Mix Fleet. The specific arrangements are the responsibility of the Second Special Mix Fleet.

Lei Shaoqing incorporated Jiang Wenhan and Zhang Naiding into the first bomber group. Jiang Wenhan was responsible for leading two squads of escort fighter jets. These fighters were equipped with 1oo kilograms of bombs and rockets. 1oo kilograms of bombs and rockets cannot be used to deal with large warships, but they can easily blow up transport ships, destroyers, and US military fortifications on the ground. Zhang Naiding led four squads of dive bombers and two squads of torpedo bombers, their

The mission is to kill the US artillery formation and transport fleet. Deng Zi and Yang Shihong, the commander of the second batch of bombers, were the two escort fighters with bombs and rockets. They had four squads of horizontal bombers and a squad of dive bombers. The horizontal bombers were mainly responsible for bombing US military transport ships and landing on six U.S. positions on the ground, while dive bombers were responsible for solving the US warships that had fallen out of the first wave of bombing.

This is the maximum strike force that the Second Special Mixed Fleet can send. Lei Shaoqing only left himself a squadron of air defense fighter jets. Perhaps this is not enough to protect the safety of the fleet, but as long as the fleet is bombed by the US military, even if both squadrons of fighter jets are left behind, it is probably impossible to ensure the safety of the fleet.

When the bomber 6 of the Second Special Mixed Fleet continued to leave the aircraft carrier, Tan Renhao returned to the commander's cabin. At this time, Hao Dongjue had already gone to the aviation combat center to arrange tasks for the bomber pilots. More than a dozen staff officers in the commander's cabin were busy and busy. Before the bomber took off, they had a lot of tedious work to do.

Tan Renhao made a cup of coffee by himself, but he did not bother those busy staff. In fact, it is not easy to be a fleet staff officer. To be a good staff officer, you must not only be careful, but also have enough patience, a sense of responsibility, and a strong spiritual perseverance. In fact, those who can truly become a fleet staff officer are the best selected from the many officers of the Imperial Navy.

Suddenly, a radio station rang, and Tan Renhao frowned slightly. Who would send the telegram at this time

The Communications Staff Xun translated the telegram content and then trotted over. This was a telegram from Wake Island. Because the fleet and Team 6 had not yet established a radio and voice call channel, Team 6 could only convey information to the fleet through telegram.

As soon as he read the telegram, Tan Renhao immediately stood up. Where is the Chief of Staff?

I'm still in the aviation combat center and should be back soon.

Go and call him. Tan Renhao touched his forehead before drinking coffee, but he still felt dizzy and drowsy. Maybe the coffee has not yet worked.

Soon, Hao Dongjue ran back. What happened

Telegram from Wake Island. Tan Renhao sent the telegram to Hao Dongjue. Is there any cigarettes?

Hao Dongjue was stunned for a moment, took out a cigarette, and then hesitated a little whether he should destroy Tan Renhao's smoking cessation plan.

Tan Renhao took the cigarette, but did not rush to light it. The American fleet of the 6th and the shelling formation left the 6th round at night.

Hao Dongjue also read the telegram, and now he was also surprised.

Spruins has predicted that we will attack for 6 games, otherwise he would not have transferred the shelling formation at this time. Tan Renhao glanced at the cigarette in his hand and then crushed it away. The US special-mix fleet must be in the nearby waters, and it must be coming now. Maybe their reconnaissance planes are already on the way.

Should I recruit the bomber group of the second special fleet?

They had already taken off Tan Renhao looked at the navigation clock. At 5:45, the second batch of bombers sent by the Second Special Mix Fleet had already been released. No, let them bomb the US troops on the beach. In addition, the fleet is ready to turn. It seems that our opponent is nearby. We must now distance from the Second Special Mix Fleet and cannot be exposed at the same time. In this way, we still have the ability to counterattack.

Then do you want to tell the Second Special Fleet that we have left

Tan Renhao hesitated for a moment. Now all the seaplanes used for contact have been sent out to perform reconnaissance missions. Unless he breaks the radio silence, he will not be able to send the news to the second special fleet. After thinking for a while, Tan Renhao shook his head. No, let Shaoqing make a decision by himself. We will temporarily set aside a little distance and arrange an additional team of air defense fighters. In addition, let other fighters stand on the flight deck and be ready to take off and intercept the incoming enemy aircraft at any time.

Hao Dongjue immediately adjusted the deployment. The fleet originally wanted to take off a squadron's air defense fighter jets before dawn, but now it has only increased the number by 12. There is no big problem with arranging the fighter jets of the other two squads on the flight deck. Even if the US fleet appears later, the fighter jets of these two squads can be used to escort the bomber swarm, and it only takes off before the bomber.

After Hao Dongjue went out, Tan Renhao got on the stool and picked up the telegram again. Han Shaofeng only saw the six-board ships gathered in the six-board U.S. military boarding fleets and transport fleets that were active in the offshore were gone. From this time, the US military boarding fleet and transport fleet must have left before four o'clock, which means that Spruins issued an order before four o'clock. If the news was transmitted through seaplanes, Spruins had already predicted that he would be bombed at about two o'clock. Then he had three hours to adjust the position of the fleet, and then release the reconnaissance planes to find the Tang Empire fleet at dawn. Three hours is enough for the special mixed fleet to move nearly 1 o'clock nautical miles.
