Chapter 738: The Hope of the Citi Navy

You can search for the latest chapters in Baidu for "Super Emperors Search Novels of the Late Qing Dynasty (www.soxscc.com)"!The Assault aircraft carrier and the Wasp aircraft carrier can only carry about 120 aircraft each. With the addition of the carrier-based aircraft on the three escort aircraft carriers, there are a total of more than 300 aircraft, including 140 Wildcat fighters and 120 B aircraft. -17 "Sky Fortress" medium-range bombers, 20 TBD fish attack aircraft, and more than 30 reconnaissance aircraft.

The survivability of the Wildcat fighter is still relatively strong.Due to its sturdy structure and quality, the pilot can often escape safely in a crisis, but his speed and vitality are far behind the Qing Dynasty.His maximum speed is only 512 kilometers per hour.

The same is true for B-17.It lags far behind Daqing's aircraft in speed and ammunition capacity.

But they didn't know this. These Citi people naively believed that Da Qing's carrier-based aircraft was just a little more advanced than them, and with a sudden attack, it could inflict a heavy blow on Da Qing.

After completing the formation in the air, they rushed directly to the planned sea area. This time they did not even send out a reconnaissance plane, just to buy time. After the reconnaissance plane of the Qing Dynasty discovered them, it was already the main force.

If Daqing was given too much time and allowed them to have too many planes to take off, it would probably be their end.

Since they had already affirmed that Daqing was already in that sea area, they didn't need to go to the grass and startle the snake first.

Richard watched his fleet leave. He knew that these people might not be able to come back after they went, but if Da Qing could incur heavy losses as a result, all this would be worth it.

As long as the Qing’s three or five aircraft carriers were sunk, the Qing’s navy would not dare to appear unscrupulously on the west coast of Citi, so that it would buy time for them to build more aircraft carriers, and the previous sins of the Citi Navy could offset a little.

"God bless you! Bring back the lost honor for Citi's Navy!"

Richard put his palm on his chest and bowed deeply in the direction where the plane was leaving.

When the carrier-based aircraft from Citigroup came violently, the Navy of the Qing Dynasty also strengthened their vigilance work.Dozens of fighter jets replaced the original reconnaissance aircraft to perform air defense missions.

If the radar finds an enemy plane, they must assemble as soon as possible, intercept the plane from Citi, and buy enough time for the follow-up fighter plane to take off.

On the deck of the aircraft carrier, there is a small team of fighters on standby at any time to take off, and other fleets also stay on the deck to prepare for follow-up support.

Because it is to lure Citigroup to sneak attack, the defense system must be complete.

After discovering Citi’s reconnaissance aircraft several times before, they did not show too much combat effectiveness, so they were released back, because the radar did not find a large-scale fleet of aircraft haunting behind those reconnaissance aircraft.

"Order the fleet to do a good job in anti-submarine and air defense, not to slack off, I always think Citigroup will come." I love novel network www.5ilrcxs.com

Zhou Zhirou's complexion is a bit solemn. Although he has enough confidence in the strength of his fleet and aircraft, the most basic work is still to be done.

Otherwise, if there is a loss in the fleet, and the sailing boat in the gutter, it will not be worth the loss.

"Yes! Your Excellency Commander!"

The staff officer immediately issued an order to strengthen the alert to the fleet and cavalry group...

Only half an hour after the order was issued, a dense cluster of dots appeared on the radar of the cruiser on the outermost periphery of the Qing aircraft carrier battle group, which showed that there was a large group of flying objects approaching in the air. Obviously, this was Citigroup. The fleet is coming.

"Reporter sir! A large fleet of aircraft is approaching in the direction of San Diego Naval Base,"

The scouts immediately reported to the commander, and the captain, on the one hand, ordered the scouts to continue the investigation after learning of the situation, and on the other hand, he immediately reported to Zhou Zhirou.

Upon receiving the news, Zhou Zhirou immediately ordered the reconnaissance fighters that had been conducting reconnaissance in various places to assemble in the sea in the direction of the San Diego Naval Base. Depending on the situation, the enemy aircraft would be intercepted. Each aircraft carrier immediately took off a combat squad of aircraft, which is a total 72 fighters, other fighters are also beginning to prepare, if the situation is not right, you can, seize the time to take off.

In fact, after 9 planes from each carrier and a small group took off, it was almost ten minutes later. At that time, the Citiplanes almost arrived. According to the size of the incoming fleet, we can know how to choose.

Because it was too close to the port, it was partially interfered, and the altitude of Citi’s aircraft just started to take off was also low. The Daqing radar of Citi’s large-scale fleet could be found at a distance of about 300 kilometers, but it was not in the first place. Time discovered the Citigroup's fleet, but they were only discovered about ten kilometers after they flew out of the port.

With the addition of the time for reporting and issuing orders after the discovery, the distance between the two parties will only be sixty or seventy kilometers.

That is, when several air defense fleets of the Qing Dynasty had just assembled, and even the support fleet of that squad had not completely taken off, Citi's fleet had already arrived.

"Daqing is not prepared, this time I will fight!"

"Oh my God! How many aircraft carriers are there? There are even dozens of early warning aircraft!"

When the Citi pilots saw the densely packed planes in the Qing Dynasty, their scalp numb. Although they also knew that there were more Araki in the Qing Dynasty, they felt scared when they saw it with their own eyes.

Fortunately, the Qing Navy has just discovered them not long ago, and there is not much power in the air. They still have the opportunity to inflict serious damage on this fleet...
