Chapter 1085: Sea search puzzle (1/2)
Why can't battleships withdraw from the stage of history in World War II? Because carrier-based aircraft still have many drawbacks, they have no night landing capabilities, poor observation capabilities at sea, and weak response capabilities.
Of course, in the case of long-range firefights, carrier-based aircraft have considerable advantages, such as now.
Without carrier-based aircraft, it is impossible for the fleets of both sides to attack each other hundreds of kilometers away.
The carrier-based aircraft of the island country rushed towards the direction of the US aircraft carrier, but they did not find the target. The water vapor on the sea made their observation very difficult. They didn't know that they had missed the American aircraft carrier formation!
They almost flew by less than five kilometers from the US aircraft carrier formation, but they missed the opportunity and didn't see it!
Captain Akira Sakamoto took his fleet and continued to fly forward for nearly a hundred kilometers, but he still found nothing!
”Throw away the bomb and return home!” Captain Akira Sakamoto said helplessly. He pressed the weapon release button, and the expensive bomb imported from Germany was thrown directly into the sea.
Now, Stuka is much more relaxed.
Behind the formation, Taro Ohara looked a little confused.
The long flight made his head a little groggy. Now, when he opened the cockpit cover and let the fresh air into the cockpit, his mind was a little awake. He knew that he must not fall asleep. Companion, he must fly this plane and fly back again!
The surrounding area has started to turn black.
I don't know how long it has been flying, Taro Ohara's eyes suddenly lit up, and there were flashing lights on the sea below, indicating the direction of the deck. It turned out that he had already flown to the fleet without knowing it!
So, he pushed his joystick and entered the descent course. At the same time, he turned the radio frequency **** to adjust to the frequency of talking with the deck.
”Suihe, Ruihe, 013 requested landing, 013 requested landing.”
For some reason, there is no echo from the earphones. No matter what, let’s land first. This kind of landing in the dark is quite torturous. If you can’t touch the ship accurately, it will greatly increase the psychological pressure. It's even more difficult this time.
On the Yorktown, the lights were bright.
The personnel on the deck are preparing nervously. Today's contact has made them realize that the battle with the island country will break out at any time, and they must make all preparations to release the aircraft group at any time.
And now, in the middle of a busy schedule, the sound of an airplane can be heard in the distance.
All of our carrier-based aircraft have been recovered. What kind of aircraft are flying here?
On the side of the rear deck, on the platform below, the high gunner Lockhet looked at the sky nervously. Then, from the dark night sky, a plane with an inverted seagull wing suddenly emerged.
”Stuka, it's Stuka!” Lockhet yelled, and immediately shook his anti-aircraft gun height machine, and then stepped on the trigger.
