"Behind our fleet?"
Yamamoto Yingsuke was stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly took out his binoculars and rushed out of the command tower. He looked behind him with the binoculars, but there was only Wang Yang. He could not see any ships.
"Where's the boat?" Yamamoto Hidesuke only saw a thin layer of mist. Other than that, he saw nothing else.
"It's about forty nautical miles away. You'll need to go to the watchtower to see it.”
Yamamoto made a quick judgment in his mind.
"Quickly report the situation to the base camp and let the watchtower find out the size of the enemy fleet.”
"Ha Yi!"
The few battleships at the back of the fleet began to slow down and turn.
The entire Japanese fleet also began to slow down. The enemy might be the mysterious fleet that destroyed the Third Fleet, so Yamamoto had to take it seriously.
" Report, watchtower report. The enemy fleet has nine ships. Two of them should be battleships, one is an aircraft carrier, and the remaining six are destroyer. They are all models that have never been seen before. We can't see their flag clearly from too far away. At present, we don't know which country's fleet they belong to.”
After hearing that there were only nine ships, Yamamoto Hidesuke heaved a sigh of relief.
The First and Second Squadron had more than 50 ships of all kinds, with a total of 600,000 tons.
This size was still very confident when facing nine warships.
"Send a message in plain text. Let the other party state his identity and purpose!”
"Inform the aircraft carrier, Phoenix Soaring, and send out reconnaissance planes to confirm the ownership of the enemy's warship!”
"Ha Yi!"
After Yamamoto said that, he closed his eyes and thought for a while. He instinctively felt that something was wrong and said,"All fleets turn! Prepare to face the enemy."
Without a word or thought, he had already reached a dangerous distance of forty nautical miles behind him.
The main reason was that the sky had just turned bright. Perhaps the enemy had caught up at night. Otherwise, with the observation radius of the alliance fleet, they would have discovered it at about 50 nautical miles. If it was in front of them, they would have discovered it at about 100 nautical miles. After all, there were reconnaissance planes.
On Tang Hanming's fleet.
All aircraft were ready.
The commander on the deck made a gesture after confirming that there was no problem with the steam catapult.
Immediately, two take-off managers squatted beside the runway and gave a thumbs up, indicating that they could take off.
Then, he pointed at the end of the deck. The first carrier aircraft began to accelerate along the deck and quickly rushed into the sky.
Immediately after, the guide waved the baton in his hand and the second carrier aircraft entered the take-off runway.
On average, one aircraft took off every half a minute. After 20 minutes, 40 aircraft formed a flying formation and flew towards the Japanese fleet.
At the same time, two Japanese reconnaissance planes flew toward Tang Hanming's fleet.
The Japanese aircraft was an old-fashioned double-wing propeller aircraft.
At an altitude of about 600 to 700 meters above the sea, they slowly flew toward Tang Hanming's fleet.
At this moment, one of the pilots looked into the distance and was stunned.
In the distant sky, black dots appeared before their eyes.
"What's that?"
"A plane?"
The two pilots couldn't communicate, so they could only shout out their doubts.
Soon, they saw what the black dot in the distance was.
There were dozens of planes that they had never seen before. They had no propellers and were all made of metal. There were also white exhaust flames trailing behind them.
There was only one question in the minds of the two Japanese pilots. Was this really a plane?
As pilots, they knew very well how planes flew. How could a plane fly without a propeller?
In the air, the clone pilot discovered the Japanese aircraft.
"Falcon, Falcon, there are two Japanese aircraft in front of us. Should we kill them directly? It's over."
The pilot asked over the radio.
"No. 7, we are carrying torpedoes and anti-ship missiles. How are we going to attack the reconnaissance plane? Stop wasting time, it's over!"
The J15 carrier aircraft also carried a cannon, but it was different from the propeller aircraft. Jet fighters rarely used cannons in combat. Moreover, the opponent was an old-fashioned propeller aircraft, which was too slow and difficult to operate.
"Falcon, we can fly past them. The airflow is enough to crash these two old antiques.”
The captain was stunned when he heard what the pilot said. Then, he smiled and said,""Alright, it's over. Number 5, Number 6, Number 7, Number 8, I'll leave them to you!”
"Roger that. Watch our performance."
The four aircrafts immediately left the formation and lowered their altitude.
There was no other way. The height of the Japanese reconnaissance plane was too low, so they could only lower their altitude.
The two Japanese reconnaissance pilots saw four fighter jets flying towards them.
They were stunned for a moment before they placed their fingers on the button to fire their weapons.
The two aircraft were equipped with two machine guns and had a certain combat ability.
