The most important thing in Maritime Warfare is, of course, to find the opponent first!
Most of the planes in the Hawaiian base were transferred to the Aleutian Islands. They wanted to fight the main fleet of the island country there, but they were lost. Now the power in the Hawaiian base is empty, but there is still no problem taking off more than a dozen maritime patrol planes.
It's still dark now. The vp-6f squadron in Pearl Harbor base took off with its own pby-5 seaplane.
When the island country attacked Pearl Harbor last time, the water patrol aircraft wing suffered great losses. Except for three reconnaissance aircraft patrolling at sea, almost all the others were bombed and sunk at the base.
However, the industrial capacity of the United States was too strong. They soon produced a number of new seaplanes and equipped their own forces. Because only the base was damaged and most of the pilots were intact, they soon regained their combat effectiveness. Moreover, the model has changed from the original pby-1 to the latest pby-5
This kind of seaplane looks like a ship from the outside. It can take off and land on the water surface. The wing is high above and the engine is also the highest. It can avoid the impact of sea water splashing on the sea surface.
This is the largest seaplane produced in the United States and was also famous in World War II.
Now, pilot Klaus turns on the knobs. The two Pratt Whitney r-1830-82 at the top emit a familiar roar. Hamilton's standard hydraulic control propeller starts, and both engines run normally.
Pushing the throttle lever to the front, reaching a take-off power of 1200 horsepower, Klaus drove the plane, taxied on the runway, and then got into the dark.
Two hours before dawn, he can fly slowly to Midway Island and wander around the waters near Midway Island.
Seaplane can not only take off and land on the water, but also have retractable landing gear to take off and land on the land. At the same time, it can perform a variety of tasks. It can patrol the sea at ordinary times, hang bombs, attack enemy submarines and surface ships, and land on the sea to rescue drowning pilots. It is definitely a versatile pilot.
At the same time, it also has several crew members. As a long-life aircraft, its crew is composed of bomber / nose gunner, pilot and co pilot, pilot, radio, random mechanic and two waist gunners. At the same time, in order to ensure long-term tasks in the forward base, the cabin also has sleeper, kitchen and food storage facilities.
Just as the plane was flying towards midway, the crew had begun to search the sea.
The night will not affect much, because it is equipped with sea search radar. Although its performance is not very reliable, it can find large ships on the sea. The darkness can cover it and let it search calmly.
They dare not get too close to Midway Island, which is already dangerous. At the same time, they also avoid startling the snake, and the island people's water formation will never stay on Midway Island.
"Fly north. If the other party's commander is smart enough, he will certainly go north and be ready to intercept our fleet." Said the captain.
Klaus pushed the operating panel and the bomber began to fly north. At this time, the white belly of the fish had been exposed in the East.
"Radar found the target, 150 nautical miles north of Midway, with a large number of warships!"
The news instantly stimulated everyone. Klaus raised his head and looked into the distance. On the sparkling sea, he seemed to be able to see ships floating on the sea.
It must be the islanders' fleet!
"Quickly, report to the superior, we have found the island fleet!" The captain shouted, "close, let's keep close and observe."
As reconnaissance aircraft, they must not rely solely on radar. They must also visually confirm the target and identify the model and quantity of the target. This process is very dangerous.
As a kind of seaplane, their fastest speed is less than 300 kilometers per hour, while the fighter can easily exceed 500 kilometers per hour. Once they are watched by the fighter, it is difficult for them to escape.
However, no one is afraid, this is their mission!
The seaplane approached slowly. You can see the black smoke from the top of the warships, the vortex of the sea at the tail, and the wide deck plane, which is the main aircraft carrier fleet!
"Confirm that the target is the aircraft carrier formation of island countries, with a total of four aircraft carriers and several large warships." Cried Klaus.
At this time, the aircraft carrier formation of the island country is indeed driving on the sea. On the aircraft carrier Kaga, Nan yunzhongyi is meditating on the chart.
Midway is clean and occupied. They are going to ambush the American aircraft carrier formation! Therefore, in the middle of the night last night, Nan Yunzhong sailed north with a mobile fleet with four aircraft carriers as the core, trying to find the main battle of American aircraft carriers.
Americans will certainly rush back. At the highest speed, they will not even have time to turn against the wind to fly more carrier based aircraft. As long as they ambush in each other's channel in advance, they can easily achieve the goal of ambush.
Where on earth is it good?
"Report, an American patrol plane was found." Just then, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Send out our escort fighter immediately and shoot it down!" Nan Yunzhong said. He stood up, walked to the window of the bridge and looked at the sea in the distance.
The aircraft carrier formation has no night combat capability.
The difficulty is not taking off at night, but landing at night. Landing on an aircraft carrier has been suffering a lot, and it is impossible at night. In history, only Saratoga, Raiders, enterprises and independence. They are basically training. The actual combat effect is about zero.
Even in later generations, at most only half of the aircraft carrier pilots have the ability to land at night, so they take off in the early morning and dawn when they return.
While they were sailing now, in order to hurry, they didn't fly the carrier plane, but focused on sailing north.
However, the naval air force is well-trained. Just one minute after the discovery, the pilot, Erlang Matsushita, took off in zero battle and rushed in the direction of the maritime patrol aircraft.
When it was discovered, the maritime patrol aircraft immediately turned around and returned at the highest speed. Unfortunately, it could not escape the pursuit of the fighter behind. A few minutes later, a fireball appeared in the air.
It's blown up!
This is just a small episode in the voyage. Nan yunzhongyi still raised his vigilance and ordered more than a dozen fighters to fly over his own side, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
