"Enemy attack!"
"Planes, it's all planes!"
The sailor picked up the phone nervously. His trembling fingers couldn't even dial the correct phone number. The cigarette between his fingers fell because of his trembling fingers.
He threw away the cigarette in his hand in a panic, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and dialed the command room's phone. With a trembling voice, he spat out a word that everyone was very familiar with recently – air raid!
In an instant, the red wartime alarm sounded, but in fact, there were no anti-air weapons on the ship. Some of the machine guns used to deal with light ships were probably the only anti-air weapons that could be used.
A large number of planes formed a formation like a dark cloud that covered the sky and the earth. The soldiers who first discovered these planes held the edge of the observation deck tightly and shouted the truest thoughts in their hearts.
F * ck you!
A few minutes later, the two sides finally got close to each other!
The bombs in the air fell like rain. Every sailor was ready to face death. The roar of weapons was accompanied by whispered prayers in some places. Everyone's nerves were tense!
Tong …
A bomb fell into the sea about twenty or thirty meters away from the warship. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then came the second one!
At this time, all the warships were instantly at full speed. The boilers were operating at full capacity. The helmsman was testing his ability to control the ship. They had to speed up and rush out.
Maybe this was not the best way, but it was the only way now!
Everyone was praying. They were praying that if God really existed, he would come and save them!
In fact, most of the sailors had nothing to do. This was not a battle between warships. They had a lot of work to do. This was a one-sided "slaughter". They had nothing to do except to lock themselves in the cabin and write their wills.
People looked through the narrow windows and looked at the dark sky after the wind and waves. Their hearts kept sinking.
At the same time, a phone call was made to Lynch. The Navy had asked for help as soon as they encountered the air raid.
The Bullhorn Strait was not far from Nagalil, but it was about three days away from the Federation. They definitely wouldn't be able to save them in time. They could only ask Lynch if he had any good ideas.
When Lynch heard this, he didn't beat around the bush and immediately agreed to help. As for the cost, they would discuss it after the war was over.
After hanging up the phone, Lynch dialed Nagalil's number and asked the operator to forward a coded telegram to the airport. Then 36 small planes that had never appeared on the battlefield quickly took off and disappeared into the sky.
Any weapon that wanted to be paid for by the Department of National Defense had to have an impressive military record.
At the very least, you have to prove to the Department of Defense and the senators in Congress that spending money to buy your stuff is not considered a transaction of power and money.
As long as you can convince the Congress and the Department of National Defense with facts, and let the people believe that your product is indeed valuable, then 10 million dollars is not a problem to buy a screw bolt.
The fighter jet was Lynch's trump card.
At this time, the airstrikes over the Bullhorn Strait were still ongoing, and one of the destroyers had already lost its power.
Currently, the aerial bombs carried by the aircraft were more targeted at non-armored units. They couldn't drill into the thick deck and explode, so they couldn't damage the things in the cabin.
No matter how merrily these bombs exploded on the deck, they did not do much damage to the warship itself.
But the torpedoes dropped from the air were different.
They could aim more accurately and be dropped closer to the warship, but there were also some problems. Due to the angle of entry, a lot of torpedoes missed the target and missed the bottom of the ship.
If the torpedo was dropped at an angle that could cause damage to the warship, then the bomber must be close to the water.
This was the only way to prevent the torpedo from advancing head-first into the water.
But once the bomber was close to the water, the cannons could play a big role.
In this airstrike, both sides were actually accumulating experience through bloody lessons.
For the Federation, air defense became more and more important as the aircraft could be used in military operations.
For the Pengia people, they needed to continue to work on the development of torpedoes. At least for now, they still didn't have a good means of restricting the fleet.
The burning ships on the sea either stopped or moved. It looked scary, but in fact, the damage to the hull was not too great.
Some people died, but except for one ship that lost power, the rest could be driven back as long as the fire was extinguished.
This was a big victory for the Pengia people. Five years ago, they couldn't do anything to Gefra's fleet. They could only helplessly announce their defeat in the negotiations and become a defeated nation.
But now, they had mastered a way to deal with the fleet. Their emperor seemed to have foreseen everything five years ago.
They didn't waste money to research the manufacturing technology of large warships, they didn't waste time and energy to research the fleet's strategy and tactics. They just used all their resources in the most correct way.
Next time, or even in the near future, they might be able to control the sea with airplanes!
The squadron leader was chatting with the others through the radio. He seemed very relaxed. The warships below them that they couldn't do anything to before were now like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Suddenly, someone shouted in the channel, followed by a series of screams and then quieted down with the sound of an explosion. Only then did people notice that a plane had exploded in the sea.
Falling from the height they were at was actually no different from falling directly to the ground. The huge energy wave could instantly tear everything apart and then cause an explosion!
Perhaps the cannons had played a role, but the squadron leader didn't become vigilant. He just asked everyone to increase their altitude.
But a few seconds later, he saw a bomber not far away from him being shot into a sieve. What's worse was that the bullets came from above!
He raised his head abruptly. There were some strange-looking planes in the sky. They were constantly diving, rising, and chasing after each other …
Those planes all had the same characteristic. Their noses could shoot out two tongues of flame!
A Navy member praying that everything would pass in the cabin felt something, and something warm shone on his face.
He raised his head. It was sunlight!
Something tore a hole in the dark clouds, allowing the sunlight to shine through the hole.
Those things in the hole were constantly expanding their victory. One after another, bombers fell at an average speed while emitting black smoke!
"It's reinforcements!"
"It's reinforcements!"
"The Federation didn't give up on us!"
The sailors instantly became excited. Some people even ran to the deck fearlessly, waving their navy hats in their hands to express their gratitude to the warriors who were tearing the dark clouds in the sky.
Countless pairs of eyes were watching the special planes in the sky with the help of binoculars.
The wings of each plane were printed with the logo of Blackstone Security!
It was black and deep, but it gave off a feeling that it could fill one's body with strength!
Peng Jieao's bombers began to quickly return. They didn't have anti-air weapons, so they could only watch as the 20 to 30 planes "slaughtered" them!
The radio channel went silent in an instant.
The captain in charge of this bombing mission gave an order. "Let's split up and continue to raise the altitude …"
At this moment, someone interrupted him.
"Long live the Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor …"
After this sentence was said, a bomber suddenly left the formation and turned in a circle at an extremely high speed.
It was just a circle, but the pilot almost fainted. The moment he almost lost the light in front of his eyes, he controlled his bomber to crash into a plane that was closely following them …
With a loud bang, the collision of the two planes in the air ignited the brightest sparks in the sky.
There were more decisive shouts on the radio!
Long live the Empire!
Long live His Majesty the Emperor!
This was an air battle that was destined to be recorded in history. It was also the first large-scale air battle in the history of the world, and it was a one-sided massacre.
Except for the first fighter that was destroyed because it couldn't react in time, the other bombers that tried to stop the pursuit through collision were shot down after pulling away.
These people paid the price with their lives to get more bombers and pilots out of the battlefield.
Because the Federation's airport was a little far from here, considering that they might not be able to fly back if they chased too deep, after a few minutes of chasing, the 35 fighters turned around and flew southwest …
The air battle in the Bullhorn Strait immediately attracted the attention of the world after the incident. They might not be able to get first-hand information, but they still learned about the situation on the battlefield through various descriptions.
One of the Federation's destroyers lost power and stayed in place after closing the cabin. The other warships suffered different losses and had already returned.
This air raid had resulted in the deaths of more than four hundred sailors due to various accidents. Some had even been burned to death or scalded to death …
In addition, a total of 47 Peng Jie Empire bombers were shot down. The Federation lost a plane that had never been exposed to the international eye!
At this time, the Foreign Affairs Minister of the Peng Jie Empire also sternly reprimanded the Federation for their reckless behavior in this military conflict. He asked the Federation to take responsibility for the escalation of the conflict and reserved the possibility of declaring war at any time!
The international situation was stirred up in an instant. The Federation's stock, which had just experienced a sharp drop, suddenly rose by a notch.
Although it didn't rise back up, overall, it didn't fall that much.
When people had confidence in the Federation's military, the Federation's financial sector would also be stimulated and grow. This was actually very normal.
Blackstone Security was once again pushed into the spotlight. Almost everyone wanted to know how they were able to shoot down planes so efficiently and quickly …
