Chapter 2713 Exposed 1

"Finally, I would like to remind everyone that any war has a price. If paying a heavy price can lead to more victories, then I think the price is worth it. No one can gain victory from the God of War for free! In the past It is like this, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future!" Betty said loudly and impatiently. He glanced at everyone in the venue and stared at those who hesitated with a rather oppressive gaze.

"If my plan is not approved, then I will withdraw from this war and return to the UK. I can tolerate your doubts about me, but I will never work with a group of people who are unwilling to shed blood and dare not fight for victory!" Betty He finally said, and then he leaned back in his chair without saying a word, waiting for the others' decision.

"That's it. The land-based aviation force is commanded by Lieutenant General Charles, the former Royal Air Force of your country. Then the Combined Fleet Aircraft Carrier Division will be handed over to Your Excellency. The Americans think they have grasped the key to victory in the war, but at the same time, this It is also an opportunity for us! A real warrior will not give up any opportunity! If we don't dare to fight a decisive battle with the Americans today, how will we face the American fleet in the future?" In the end, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu gritted his teeth. Show support for Betty. The Japanese must gain as much advantage as possible in this battle, otherwise, let alone losing money, even if they make less money, there will definitely be no tomorrow for the Japanese combined fleet! If you win a big victory, the war can continue. If you lose or give up, then the initiative on the regular battlefield will be handed over to others!

Therefore, after the senior leaders of the British and Japanese navies reached an agreement, the naval and air forces in the Sulawesi Sea area have been mobilized. Shigetaro Yoshimatsu personally issued an order requiring all Japanese naval land-based aviation forces in Kalimantan to assemble towards the northern airport. , and at the same time, he also contacted the Army, hoping that the Army could provide aviation teams and various supplies as much as possible.

The Combined Fleet also headed south that night. They would first go to the eastern part of the Sulawesi Sea, and then wait for news about aerial reconnaissance tomorrow. After determining the size of the American fleet, they would choose the time and place for a decisive battle with the Americans as appropriate.

After some preparations, at dawn, the Japanese long-range aviation reconnaissance force stationed near Tarakan Island was ready to take off. One V1500 spread out their wide wings, and then with the help of a tractor Tow to the runway and wait for takeoff. The crew was making final preparations under the leadership of the captain. Before takeoff, they had been informed that this would be a very important and dangerous mission!

"After the war, I have never seen so many four-engine heavy-duty aircraft gathered together to perform a certain mission." Second Lieutenant Bell said in his heart while looking at the more than 20 V1500s behind him.

"Everyone, please confirm the final status of the aircraft." After seeing a ground crew member in front of him signaling that the runway was clear and ready to take off at any time, Lieutenant Bell, the captain of the Ceres, said to his men. To operate a V1500, you need at least eight well-trained crew members. Everyone performs their duties and only by working together can the task be successfully completed.

“The radio equipment and navigation equipment are normal.

"The first person to report is the electromechanical officer, who is responsible for all radio-related equipment of the aircraft.

"The aircraft inspection is completed and the engine is normal." The pilot and mechanic reported after checking the Eagle engine that was running at idle speed.

"The aircraft body is normal and the operating system is normal." the co-pilot reported.

"Navigators and scouts are in place."

"The machine gunner is already in place." With the last auxiliary personnel in place, Second Lieutenant Bell finally confirmed the status of the aircraft and gave a signal that the aircraft was about to take off. The thousand-meter-long runway has been completely cleared, and the four powerful engines made a deafening roar. As a large amount of fuel was injected into the engines, the V1500, with its wings spread more than 30 meters, began to taxi. When the speed reaches the take-off requirement, the pilot pulls up the aircraft and flies into the distance like an eagle soaring.

"The direction approval is completed, the speed is 70 miles per hour, and our aircraft is flying in the target direction." After finding the direction in the air, the aircraft began to fly into the distance. In the next nearly an hour, a total of 25 V1500s completed takeoff. They sailed in their respective planned directions and contacted the base every 15 minutes. All aircraft carry auxiliary fuel tanks, enough for them to fly in the air for more than 15 hours!

"Control the flight altitude. The cloud level is a bit low today. We must get the best possible view," said Lieutenant Bell.

"If the altitude is too low, we may be discovered by the other side's aircraft. Will we have an escort aircraft?" the electromechanical officer said.

"Theoretically no, young man, we are in the Far East and not in Europe after all. Of course, we don't have to worry about running into the German Tracers here. Those single-engine carrier-based aircraft want to kill us like a It’s as difficult as it is for a soldier to slay a dragon, so relax a little, in fact, we are the overlords in this air." Bell said to the electromechanical operator with a smile.

"I hope so," the electromechanical man muttered.

The captain did not continue to comfort his little brother, but was busy with the things at hand. Some people think that reconnaissance is very simple, just fly over and then search the sea with wide eyes, but in fact this is a mistake, you know , if you look at a battleship at an altitude of 3,000 meters, it may only be as big as a fingernail, and now everyone is so clever that they will use camouflage paint to hide themselves. And because warships generally use kerosene for mixed combustion or complete combustion of oil, the smoke emitted will not be large. Look at the vast sea below you. It’s really difficult to conduct visual reconnaissance alone! Moreover, a large number of false positives and false negatives may occur during the search. Therefore, as the captain, Bell must first screen the information.

Moreover, there are also a lot of risks during flight. As a reconnaissance aircraft, you must contact the base regularly. Although the contact frequency band is kept confidential as much as possible, and the contact information is also very simple, which shortens the transmission time, you may eventually be caught by the other party. , and in order to ensure a good view as much as possible, the aircraft must search under the clouds, and this provides convenience to the attackers. They can use the cover of the clouds to sneak close to them, and then swoop down to catch the opponent off guard!
