"Is there any news about the German fleet at the headquarters?" On a V1500 long-range reconnaissance plane departing from Iceland, the captain asked the radio operator next to him a little irritably. He and his crew have been flying in this airspace for 4 hours, but there is still no trace of the German fleet.

"No, the Germans were discovered by our camouflage reconnaissance ship at about 2 o'clock this afternoon, but then, the reconnaissance ship should have been sunk. We can only determine the position before the target, but the average German fleet The speed is as high as 22 knots and they don't know where they are going now." The radio operator said regretfully. And if there is no information provided by other friendly forces, then this long-range reconnaissance plane, code-named Seagull, can only rely on itself to find the German fleet.

"We raised the altitude a little bit. Today's weather is good. The clouds are thin and the altitude is high. We can search in higher places." The captain thought for a while and said. It stands to reason that a fleet of this size should be very easy to use. The smog can be found dozens of kilometers away, but why can't you find it yourself?

The reason is simple. The two Turkish battleships and the two fast battleships commanded by Su Xiong are oil-burning ships because they have sufficient fuel oil. The smoke stacks are much less than those that burn coal. The four Austro-Hungarian fast battleships are now also burned. Oil is the main ingredient, and the smog is naturally lighter.

The huge meter is cruising at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, but what the British did not expect is that they are not alone in this airspace. Above the clouds, 4 aircraft took off from the Independence. The JU5 attack aircraft is also performing reconnaissance missions, yes, you read that right, it is a reconnaissance mission. In the Second World War, attack aircraft with longer range and heavier load often acted as reconnaissance aircraft! But this time, these JU5s are ready to take part in the mission of fighter jets.

"The target we are looking for is nearby! In less than 20 minutes, this guy has sent at least 5 telegrams, and judging from the speed of movement, it should be an airplane." At this time, a JU5 In the rear seat of the type attack aircraft, the radio operator captured the approximate position of the V1500 through multiple radios.

　　 "What about the other party's heading information?" the captain asked.

　　 "If it does not change its course, it may find our fleet in another 45 minutes," the radio operator said.

　　 "Well, let us kill them! We fly high, fly above the clouds, and then approach the target. We must kill them before the other party sends a telegram!" said the captain.

　　 "What if it has an **** aircraft?" asked the gunner in the back seat.

　　 "It's very simple, then forget it, but I guess it shouldn't. It's too far from any British airport." The captain said relaxedly.

　　 Maybe the British have bad luck, maybe this V1500 is too big. The US 4 aircraft team quickly discovered the V1500 bomber flying at the bottom of the clouds. Subsequently, the captain began to make battle arrangements. The four JU5 attack aircraft will drop the auxiliary fuel tanks, and then enter from the rear in turn, attacking the roots of the V1500 wings from above.

　　 "Damn, this guy is too strong! It was the **** who told me that 50 machine guns would be enough!" The American pilot first spotted the enemy and launched an offensive unsuspectingly! The first two JU5 attack aircraft successfully locked the target in the aiming ring.

However, the firepower of two 12.7MM machine guns on an airplane is still too weak for this big guy with wings spread out nearly 40 meters. A series of bullets left a series of holes in the huge body of V1500, but it is not fatal. The opponent only swayed slightly in the air to restore his balance, and the fire caused by hitting the body was quickly extinguished. After that, this giant dragon-like behemoth used a barbed-like self-defense machine gun to counterattack and started awkwardly. Turning the body to prepare to retreat!

"Hurry up and send a telegram, saying that we were attacked by enemy fighters! Damn! These planes are not seaplanes, repeat, these planes are not seaplanes!" The captain of the Seagull commanded the plane to try to get rid of the enemy’s pursuit and commanded the radio. The transmitter immediately informed the British Navy of the latest situation.

　　The radio operator located in the middle of the cabin quickly controlled the radio station, first reporting the location of the attack, and then the direction and situation of the incoming aircraft. However, the British attempted to publish the telegram caused American tension. Four JU5 attack planes successively launched more violent attacks on the target. It is true that the two fists are hard to fight against the four hands. The hero can not hold the crowd, and the American loses. After one JU5, two other JU5 attack aircraft successfully destroyed the additional fuel tank inside the bomb bay of this V1500. The highly volatile fuel without any protection was ignited by the large-caliber machine gun incendiary in less than 20 seconds. Here, with a violent explosion, this reconnaissance plane, code-named Seagull, turned into a huge fireball!

　　 "It seems that the British finally sent the telegram?" said a rear-seat gunner ~lightnovelpub.net~ I don't know, maybe it was sent, or it was not sent. No matter what, we must return now. Notify the destroyer to come and rescue our pilot. "The captain said after looking at the fragments of the British plane flying up in the air.

However, this operation fully exposed the youth of the U.S. Navy. Just as the U.S. fleet was returning and reporting to the headquarters, another V1500 ocean-going patrol aircraft patrolling in the surrounding waters also passed the radio side at a position close to sea level. The way to confirm the route and track of the American fleet! Afterwards, the ocean-going reconnaissance plane painted with marine camouflage began to chase in the direction of the retreat of the American fleet!

After many naval battles, the British are still slick enough. Although aircraft in higher airspace are easier to spot distant fleets, at the same time, these aircraft will attract the opponent’s firepower like targets. Therefore, in investigation, The British adopted a high-low-altitude approach, with high altitude being responsible for finding the target, and low altitude being responsible for tracking. Even after a large bomber like the V1500 is painted with marine camouflage, it is still difficult to be seen visually if it flies towards the target with its back against the sun. This was also the case in World War II. The German F200 ocean-going patrol aircraft used low altitude to catch the enemy and avoid detection. The British crew responded when the German bombs were dropped several times.

　　 While performing the tracking mission, this V1500 also sent the collected intelligence to the British fleet, and unfortunately, this time, the fleet is not far away from the sea area where the incident occurred!
