Night. The vast sea.

I can't see my fingers.

"Rumble..."

"Crash..."

"Crash..."

Finally, after some tinkering, Zhang Yong flew the plane out of the water.

Sweating all over from exhaustion.

This thing is too difficult to operate.

It is said that it takes eight people to control them all. But right now he is the only one.

It can only maintain the basic take-off and landing functions. There is also the function of launching torpedoes. Forget about other strafing functions.

This is a semi-finished seaplane.

The exterior is in good condition, but there are many missing functions inside.

In other words, we haven’t had time to install it yet. For example, the bomb sight.

There are many hanging points on the aircraft. Bombs can be hung in various combinations. Aerial bombs of all sizes can be mounted. The maximum weight can be 500 kilograms.

It can also carry two heavyweight torpedoes.

Zhang Yong had little experience in dropping bombs. He probably wouldn't be able to hit the target either. So, he chose torpedoes.

Two 646 kg MARKX-3 attack torpedoes.

No wonder torpedoes are so powerful.

It easily weighs more than half a ton. Simply mounting it takes a lot of effort.

Finally, with the help of three American pilots, the torpedo was mounted.

Each person was given an additional $50 thank you fee.

Be generous.

We will meet often in the future.

Maybe it wouldn't take four years, before the Lend-Lease Act came out.

These three American Navy pilots are all about to retire. It is very likely that Chennault will recruit them to come to China to join the volunteer team and work for money.

Chennault was not a saint. He did things with money. But at that time, it was already remarkable to be able to do things with money.

If someone takes money to go to heaven, they will do it with real swords and guns. They will also die. So you have to thank the other person.

Suddenly my mind moved.

Why wait for Chennault to recruit?

Why don’t you recruit yourself? You also have US dollars!

You can open a company in this beautiful country, buy stocks, and earn US dollars. The income should be good.

You can give U.S. dollars directly from the beautiful country. There is no need to change hands domestically. This way, there are many fewer restrictions on the use of U.S. dollars.

The key is that there is no need to let people in the country know about it, so as not to be manipulated again.

Beautiful country makes money, beautiful national flower. Convenient.

I guess those retired naval pilots from the United States are also willing.

With US$1,500 per month, we should be able to recruit many flying masters.

Well, you can consider it...

Before the United States officially expanded its military, many retired pilots went to other countries to fight in the war.

Some came to China, some went to Spain, and some went to England.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

The engine sound is too loud.

It seems like a tractor flying in the sky.

It can be heard five kilometers away.

Therefore, its stealth performance is very poor.

It may be difficult to approach a Japanese warship quietly. The Japanese invaders will hear you.

When launching torpedoes, the maximum distance cannot exceed 500 meters.

In other words, approaching within 500 meters. This is too dangerous.

If the Japanese warships had searchlights and anti-aircraft machine guns, they could still pose a fatal threat.

what to do?

The advice of American pilots is to land from a high altitude, quickly release torpedoes, and then quickly fly sideways behind the target.

Generally speaking, all warships have the weakest firepower toward the rear.

Seaplanes lift very slowly.

It is unrealistic to try to avoid incoming fire by climbing.

In terms of flexibility, seaplanes have shortcomings. They are definitely not as flexible as fighter jets.

The radar map showed that the plane was heading due east.

The Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga is to the east, about fifty kilometers away.

Zhang Yong's target is of course not the Kaga aircraft carrier.

I want to eat a big fat guy when I first come up. It’s unrealistic and I’m easy to get beaten up.

There must be other Japanese warships protecting the Kaga aircraft carrier. It is difficult to get close.

Find the outermost one and the easiest one to attack.

After all, I am a novice with little experience. I can only brush some weak wild monsters.

It is best to have the most prominent angle. Find the right angle and release the torpedo. Regardless of whether it hits or not, quickly turn and fly away.

Switch the world map.

Toggle empty fingermap.

Toggle various flags.

Compare carefully.

Finally, a lone Japanese warship was found in the southeastern corner.

Because it was in the far southeast, this Japanese warship was relatively far away from our companions. There were no other Japanese warships within a radius of thirty kilometers.

good!

That's it.

Solitary ship. Can attack from any angle.

Even if it is attacked, nearby warships will not be able to provide support and can escape quickly.

Do it!

Climb.

Raise the altitude to 3000 meters.

This was to prevent the Japanese warship from hearing the sound of the engine and prepare early.

Approach quietly from the south.

10 kilometers…

5 kilometers…

Start lowering the altitude.

The goal is very clear.

I don’t know which class of Japanese battleship it is.

It was impossible to see clearly in the dark. There was no prompt on the map. We could only rely on the red dots to judge.

The number of red dots is around a hundred. Maybe they are destroyers?

No matter what, let me send you two torpedoes first.

Practice as a novice.

Descending altitude.
