"Quickly, power up the Kaga. Just say that we found... dozens of American aircraft carriers in the war zone... By the way, what is that? An aircraft carrier or a small sampan carrying aircraft. ?”
"Squadron leader, let's call it an aircraft carrier...that's easier to understand."
"Okay, okay, it's the air sampan! Quick, quick, send the telegram!"
"yes!"
Over the Atlantic Ocean, watching the American small plane take off from the small sampan below, Fengmingshan's first thought was to report to the superiors - this is a major discovery!
Although the Ming Dynasty has long known that the British and Americans also have aircraft that can be used for air combat, and also knows that both countries are stepping up the construction of aircraft-carrying battleships and aircraft-carrying armored cruisers, but such incredible things as aircraft-carrying sampans , even if a spy reported it, they would be treated as a joke by the people in the naval intelligence department.
Therefore, including Fengmingshan, all HNA pilots were not informed that the enemy had a small sampan carrying aircraft. This was an eye-opener!
As soon as the co-pilot started sending the telegram, Fengmingshan began to think about how to deal with these planes taking off from the small sampan. Because they had known for a long time that the British and American imperialists would sooner or later build aircraft that could be used in air combat, the naval aviation of the Ming Dynasty began to develop the ability to fly in the air very early. There are two main training methods for them. One is to fly a plane in the sky and hit the target - that is, one plane drags a glider into the sky as a target for other planes to hit; the other is to practice turning in circles and tail chasing, because " There are usually no machine guns on the "machine's butt", so spanking is the safest option.
Apart from target practice and tail-end pursuit, the pilots of the Ming Navy Air Force had never practiced anything else. As for fleet tactics such as "two-aircraft coordination" and "four-aircraft coordination", they had never practiced anything else. The reason why we don’t engage in these collaborative efforts is because the current airborne radio stations are too tight. Currently, only Ssangyong aircraft are equipped with relatively reliable radios - each carrier-based aircraft squadron generally has two Ssangyongs, driven by the squadron leader and deputy squadron leader respectively. They usually have to be guest reconnaissance aircraft and fly around overtime. This The captain's job is really hard to do!
Other Sea Flying Dragon single-seat fighters only have a very poor ore radio, which cannot send or broadcast, but can only receive sound, and often cannot receive it. It is very difficult to point at these ore radios for command. The main purpose of installing it on the aircraft is to use the high-power radio on the aircraft-carrying warship to play music to guide the sea flying dragons on their way back.
Although the radio communication is unreliable, Fengmingshan still has a way to command. His co-pilot carries two small flags, red and black. Waving the red flag means preparing for bombing, and waving the black flag means throwing away bombs and preparing for air combat... But it is impossible to pick up bombs that are thrown away casually. And a plane without bombs can't attack!
Therefore, after the ace pilot visually checked the speed of the small planes taking off from the aircraft carrier sampan and flying towards him, he immediately found a solution...
...
Lieutenant Davis, an "American" from Ireland, was driving his beloved Kelly F1 "sampan-borne water fighter" slowly up the mountain while shouting excitedly: "Damn yellow-skinned monkey, get out of here!" This is not where you should come, America belongs to us Americans!"
He became an "American" two weeks ago. Before he became an "American", he was an Irishman under the British Empire. He was born as a sharecropper, and he was supposed to grow potatoes in Ireland all his life. But he was lucky enough to catch up with the Royal Navy's recruitment of "human powered gliding bomb" bomb operators, and finally got rid of the fate of eating potatoes every day and became a glorious bomb operator.
However, before he could complete the bombing training, the Royal Navy abandoned the "bombing project" and instead invested in real aircraft. The Davis bomb handlers in training were lucky enough to become the first generation of Royal Navy pilots. However, compared to bomb handlers, pilots are both cool and less dangerous. Some adventurous rich kids from England want to do it... So these pilots who were upgraded from Irish bomb handlers are viewed by the top brass of the Royal Navy. It was very eye-catching when it arrived, so on the advice of the First Sea Lord Sir Hardy, it was packaged and sent to the United States.
And these Irish people found a feeling of "home" with US President Jackson! The United States needs pilots so much... and the Catholic Irish are at least second-class citizens in the United States, along with "Latin whites", "Slavic whites", "various mixed-race whites", "black uncles" and Indian Anhui is not human.
So President Jackson enthusiastically received these Irish pilots at the White House and awarded them the rank of second lieutenant, U.S. citizenship, a settlement allowance of $1,000, and 160 acres of land each!
At this time, all the Irish pilots immediately recognized themselves as Americans, and of course they also recognized President Jackson's philosophy - America is the America of Americans! It is not the land of yellow people from East Asia, black Africans, or Indians, but the land of white-skinned Americans who believe in God!
With their belief in God and their recognition of the concept that "America is the America of Americans", Davis and his comrades were extremely excited when they flew into the air for the first time - especially when they discovered that there was something in the sky. They were even more excited as the plane of a group of East Asians was timidly escaping.
They must be afraid of the Kelly F1... This is a very powerful aircraft. Not only does it have an 80-horsepower rotary engine, which can provide surging power for the aircraft, but it is also equipped with a wind turbine. The cold Vickers aircraft machine gun allows the pilot to aim while flying the aircraft.
In order to prevent machine gun bullets from damaging the propeller of the aircraft, the engineers of the Kelly F1 aircraft also geniusly invented the "bulletproof wedge-shaped steel sheet for the propeller"... that is, a piece of steel is installed on the inside of the propeller that can hit it. The steel pieces that the bullets ricocheted off to the sides.
With this genius design, Kelly F1 will definitely be able to perform a wonderful "turkey hunting" performance over the Atlantic Ocean!
The problem now is that the Kelly F1 seems to be flying too slowly and cannot catch up with the enemy aircraft. So Davis pushed the throttle control lever all the way, and piloted his plane to chase the Ssangyong and Sea Flying Dragon that were escaping in groups in the sky.
"Squadron leader...the American seaplanes are catching up, and they are chasing us farther and farther!"
Feng Mingshan, who was concentrating on escaping in the plane, almost made his co-pilot, who had a great sense of humor, laugh. He looked back and saw that he was getting further and further away! Although American seaplanes can magically take off from a sampan, their speed after flying is very slow, maybe only 100-120 kilometers per hour, and they cannot catch up with Ssangyong and Sea Flying Dragon. But those pilots were quite brave and rushed to die.
"We'll kill them later," Fengmingshan said. "First find a United States-class ship and throw the bombs away, and then we'll beat their 'butts'!"
"Okay, I'll look for it right away... I found it. At 9 o'clock on the lower left, there is a United States-class ship, bombarding the Mexican flagship Bolivar! Wow, a straddle shot, Bolivar The number is up!"
Fengmingshan stretched out his short neck and looked down. The Bolivar was indeed hanging, and at least three United States-class ships were beating it with 12-inch cannons!
"Okay, wave the red flag! Get ready to drop the bomb!"
"Yes, squadron leader!" After listening to Fengmingshan's order, the co-pilot immediately took out a red flag, raised it and waved it again and again, "Wave it, that's it!"
Fengmingshan said: "Sit tight, we are about to dive!"
As he spoke, he pushed the control stick, and his plane suddenly lowered its head and dived towards the United States-class ship below at an angle of about 40 degrees. The 18 Sea Flying Dragons following Fengming Mountain also followed the same example and began to "fall" one after another. And their "failure" shocked Davis and others who were trying to catch up behind them.
What's going on? Why did you "crash" before the fight started?
Davis thought something was wrong, so he quickly stuck his head out and took a look. He knew at a glance that something was wrong. Because he saw 19 biplanes, one after another, diving towards a United States-class battleship on the sea below from an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters.
Is this a plan to "collide a plane into a warship"? Are these yellow people crazy?
Just as he thought of this, the first "fallen" plane was suddenly pulled up, and at the same time, a huge water ball suddenly exploded from the starboard side of the United States-class battleship that was firing wildly into the sky more than ten meters away!
Not to ram a warship, but to throw a bomb!
Davis was even more nervous. There were still more than a dozen planes to throw away! But he was too far away from these planes now, and the Kelly F1 couldn't dive like that. It might fall apart, so he could only watch from a distance and pray for the warships below!
"God bless......"
"Boom!"
Davis just said "God bless", but he didn't say "bless" yet? The United States-class aircraft below had already been hit by a bomb... At the same time, the few small planes that had dropped their bombs were quickly pulling up and rushing towards the back of the F1 plane driven by Davis!
