It is impossible to meet them.

Then the entire fleet set off in the north-west direction, and they should try to get as close as possible to the Geely Chinese fleet, preferably within 200 kilometers, so that each wave of carrier-based aircraft can exert their maximum combat effectiveness.

Although the combat radius of the Eastern carrier aircraft is actually very good, covering half of the Mediterranean, the time it can be used for combat is also very important. For example, the distance between the two parties is very long, and the fighter can only fight for five minutes. What use is it? .

At this time, the ground crew on the aircraft carrier began to get busy, doing the final overhaul of the fighter, refueling and putting ammunition, and all the preparations were proceeding in an orderly manner.

Just waiting for a fatal blow to the Geely country fleet.

The daytime in winter came extra late. At 6:30 in the morning, the fighters on the Eastern carrier aircraft began to take off. A total of 36 fighters began to scatter in the Mediterranean, looking for traces of the Gili state fleet, the same island of Crete. Also took off more than ten fighters to participate in the search.

They only need to be responsible for searching the waters in the north of the Mediterranean, and the waters in the south are handed over to the reconnaissance planes of the Egyptian air force base, but the Gili nationals are obviously not that stupid. They cannot be too close to the waters near Egypt.

At about 8:30 in the morning, the two fleets of Geely converged and began to advance at full speed to the northeast, hoping to rush to the Greek port for refuge and stay up until the evening.

A large number of fighters are carrying out a carpet search on the Mediterranean. Today is different from yesterday. Yesterday is more about waiting for you. Today, it is the shortest time to find the fleet of Geely Chinese and launch an offensive. So just use the fighters for reconnaissance. Nearly fifty planes were dispatched to find the Geely nationals. Sooner or later, it would not take much time.

Soon, when the time was about to reach 9 o'clock, the imperial aviation had searched the vicinity of John's Navy, and they were quickly searched by the Geely national radar.

"Commander, we found an Oriental reconnaissance plane. A total of 13 fighter jets were within the search range of our radar."

The staff officer came to report the findings in the radar room.

"Damn! How did they come so fast? In what direction?" Tovey's expression changed. They were moving at full speed, but it was still early to reach the relatively safe waters, at least four or five hours. .Changsha Novel Network www.csxsrc.com

"Except for the true north direction, they have their fighters in other directions, and it is difficult to avoid them by changing the course."

The staff officers were obviously prepared. When the radar spotted the Oriental fighters, it was obvious that the Orientals hadn’t found them. If they were operated, it would still be possible to avoid the Oriental’s flight route, but apparently this time their opponents obviously had them. Prepared, dispatched a large number of reconnaissance planes, this kind of operation is impossible.

"Damn it! Order the fleet to advance at full speed and increase the speed to 26 knots. The carrier-based aircraft is ready to take off, and the ships are also prepared for prevention and control, ready to respond to possible attacks from the Easterners."

Tovey couldn't help screaming, and now he could only pray that the Eastern aircraft carrier was far away from them and was about to leave their attack range.

In this way, even if the bombers from the East arrived, there were not too many attacks, and they had to withdraw from the battlefield because they were not protected by fighter jets...

In a few minutes, the carrier-based aircraft of the East discovered the movement of the main force of the Geely State Navy and sent this information directly to the command headquarters.

"Commander, the John's navy has been discovered. They are more than 100 kilometers in the direction of two o'clock in Crete, and they are now advancing at full speed in the direction of Greece," Li Si rushed to the first time after receiving the report. He had been in the telegraph mailroom before arriving at the control tower.

"Great, let the fighters on Crete take off immediately and they will launch the first wave of attacks. Our first batch of bombers in North Africa also took off immediately, and let them inform the position at any time. We will send fighters to escort them. Together with our carrier-based aircraft taking off in the second round, launch the third round of the enemy fleet’s attack.

Wang Xuran immediately ordered that it sounds more complicated but actually very simple, that is, the island of Crete is the closest to the enemy ship, even if it takes off at the same time as the aircraft carrier’s fighter plane, it is the first batch to arrive on the battlefield. The warplanes of the United States will arrive at the battlefield about twenty minutes late, which is the second round of attack, and the second batch of carrier-based aircraft and the bomber formation supporting North Africa will arrive at the battlefield last.

If the three rounds of attacks cannot solve this fleet, then the carrier-based aircraft and the fighters on the island of Crete can still discuss another round of offensive. Anyway, within a few hours, the Geely will not be out of their attack range. ...

"Tell all commanders that if the enemy wants to disperse and break through, the main target is their aircraft carrier. I would rather let go of all other warships and blow up their aircraft carrier." Wang Xuran thought for a while to add.

"Yes! Commander!" Li Si nodded, obviously this tactic was discussed long ago...
