Chapter 366 Tiger, Tiger, Tiger! Bear, Bear, Bear! (Please subscribe, please vote)

Under the setting sun, the red clover logo on the fuselage of a "Ssangyong" carrier-based aircraft officially numbered Ship Scout 1 shines brightly.

This "Double Dragon" aircraft is no longer the same species as the previous "Double Dragon" carrier-based seaplane. Instead, it was greatly modified based on the experience of the Battle of Great Strait. The heavy, large and obstructive pontoons were removed, and the

It has two more powerful radial engines (5-cylinder 175 horsepower), strengthened the fuselage, and installed an oxygen supply device to greatly increase the practical ceiling, range and speed of the new species, but the appearance has not been significantly changed.

That's why the code name "Double Dragon" was adopted.

Sitting in the main driver's seat and skillfully controlling the aircraft was Feng Mingshan, who had been promoted to naval aviation lieutenant. This time, he was sent to the so-called Texas Sea as an "instructor" together with more than 200 other pilots and ground staff.

The crew members of the Dezhou Navy who serve as foreign aid are all Japanese. The original Japanese Shogunate Navy and various pirates had a large number of people, and the good players selected from them were enough for the Dezhou Navy to use. However, the original Shogunate Navy and various pirates

The Pirates are unable to provide pilots and deck ground crew for the Texas Marine Corps. Although aircraft are not difficult to fly these days, it has never been easy to train carrier-based aircraft pilots!

Not to mention that Japan cannot produce dozens or hundreds of carrier-based aircraft pilots at once. Even the total number of carrier-based aircraft pilots in the Ming Dynasty Naval Air Force who can go to the battlefield is only 300. This still includes pilots and navigators (co-pilots).

The number included can be said to be valuable assets of the naval aviation!

This time, Zhuge Weidao gritted his teeth and took out 88 people (including 8 co-pilots) from the Pacific Fleet's carrier-based aircraft group to temporarily lend them to Dezhou Maritime Self-Government in order to make Dezhou Maritime Self-Government more famous.

After the Dezhou Marine Corps has gained a reputation, gained a lot of hatred, and sent a mixed brigade of the Texas Marine Corps to Dezhou City, all the pilots lent to the Texas Marine Corps will return to the team.

Of course, by that time the "Flying Warriors" of the Texas Marine Corps should have graduated from the Ming Dynasty Naval Aviation Flight School. Although it is impossible to fly carrier-based aircraft immediately, they can fly shore-based aircraft in Texas first and wait for the flight.

It's not too late to get on board once you've become proficient.

As for the Ming carrier-based aircraft pilots like Fengmingshan, they will also gain a lot from this "heterodyne" trip.

Sitting in the cockpit, thinking that his future career is bright, he looked at the thirty-nine Sea Flying Dragons (ship bombing type 1) and Ssangyong (ship reconnaissance bombing type 1) belonging to the Akagi flying group that were following behind him.

Fengmingshan was excited and excited about the flying formation formed, and even trembled all over.

This time they are going to drop bombs on the heads of Americans!

This must be a major event of extraordinary significance to the Ming Dynasty - I don’t know where Fengming Mountain is, but Lieutenant General Zhuge Weidao, the admiral of the Pacific Fleet, was very happy when he sent them away from Pearl Harbor.

He cried. He also said this "King Wu Zhong's last wish"!

I don’t know how the United States offended King Wu Zhong? When King Wu Zhong passed away, the United States had not yet opened its doors!

However, King Zhuge Wuzhong was a man of heaven who could calculate and figure things out. He might have already figured out that "whoever wins North America will win the world". It's not certain. When I think that the ideal of the Ming Dynasty to lead the world will be realized in his own generation, and

He was still making contributions in this war to establish the eternal hegemony of the Great Tomorrow. The corners of Fengmingshan's mouth began to crack rapidly, but before he could laugh out loud, the ore radio station that had been silent before suddenly rang.

"Attention, all members of the Akagi flight group, we are close to the target!"

This sound made Fengmingshan tense up immediately.

"The U.S. Army's Norfolk Base is ahead at 11 o'clock!"

Amidst the roar of the engines, the voice of Lieutenant Colonel Li Zhaoxun, captain of the Akagi flight group, floated in every cockpit. He heard this veteran pilot of Ming Hainan Airlines (he was an airship pilot in his early years) and the former principal of Hainan Airlines Flight School.

At the sound of the sound, every pilot tightened their grip on the control stick.

"There are no invincible activities above the Norfolk base. It seems that our surprise attack has been successful!" Li Zhaoxun took the microphone and joked in a relaxed tone, filling the call channel of the Ore Radio with laughter.

"Be careful of ground firepower! Don't show off!" Li Zhaoxun's voice suddenly changed, appearing extremely serious, "Don't fly too low, keep the height, and you must pull up immediately after completing the dive bombing!"

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing the voice of his pilot coming from the radio, Li Zhaoxun took a deep breath, and then adjusted the frequency of the radio to the cabin communication, "Tian San, give power to the Akagi Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!" is the secret code for a successful surprise attack.

Of course it was Zhuge Weidao who "thought" it up. He also successfully formulated the codeword "Bear! Bear! Bear!" for the bombing of Wall Street - the "Big Bear Market" was bombed, and the funds had to flee quickly.

?U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds, and the U.S. dollar all plummeted by 50 to 60 percent.

"Woo."

The piercing air defense siren sounded from the sky above the Norfolk base. Because the main force of the Atlantic Fleet had already fled to the Gulf of Mexico, the Norfolk naval port was empty. There were only some old-fashioned sailboats and shallow-water heavy gunboats that could not travel far.

.However, the Marines guarding the port were all there. David Porter had previously taken a photo of Norfolk Base Commander Major General Oliver Hazard Perry (Matthew Perry’s brother) from the Pennsylvania.

I sent a telegram to inform them that the base was about to be bombed.

From this perspective, the surprise attack was not successful.

However, Oliver Perry, who received the telegram from Lieutenant General David Porter, had no good solution. As the commander of the base, he had strong coastal forts, large-caliber artillery, shallow-water heavy gunships with powerful firepower, and

A regiment of Marines. However, he does not have an aircraft that can engage in air combat, nor a few small and flexible anti-aircraft guns. The only available anti-aircraft weapons are anti-aircraft machine guns modified from infantry water-cooled machine guns and 75mm cannons.

Anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft guns that can only be used to shoot down airships.

But the U.S. Navy cannot stop flying just because it does not have appropriate weapons. The U.S. Navy! Its target is the whole world!

Oliver Perry, who once used a modified warship to defeat the British Royal "Lake" Army in the Great Lakes area, was now fully clothed and standing on the air defense position, watching his well-trained marines skillfully set up anti-aircraft guns and machine guns.

and anti-aircraft guns, which is quite gratifying.

Although he also knows that these weapons will not play any role in today's air defense operations, as long as the spirit of the Navy is still there, the United States will have a bright future!

And the United States will soon have aircraft that can take to the skies for combat!

At this moment, fireworks exploded over Norfolk Bay. This was a 75mm anti-aircraft gun on a shallow water gunboat on the sea firing shrapnel.

Although such bombardment had no effect on enemy aircraft at an altitude of two to three thousand meters, and even attracted a group of biplanes to dive and drop bombs on the battleship, such heroic behavior still made Oliver Perry very proud!

"boom"

A bomb had struck the brave shallow-water heavy gunboat, exploding a huge fireball in its stern.

However, the anti-aircraft firepower on this battleship was still firing desperately. Oliver Perry, who raised his binoculars to watch the battle, even saw the sailors on this shallow-water heavy gunship standing on the deck with rifles and shooting in the air!

"Boom! Boom!"

Several more biplanes dived at an angle of 30 to 40 degrees and dropped 100 kilogram bombs. Two of them hit this large gunboat with a standard displacement of over 5,000 tons. First there were two fireballs, and then suddenly there was a loud noise.

, the ammunition depot on the ship seemed to have been exploded, and a ball of fire exploded all over the sky in an instant!

Perry put down his telescope, stood at attention, and gave the most solemn military salute to the battleship that had turned into a ball of fire!
Chapter completed!
