Chapter 2714 Exposed 2
"This is the starting point." Bell marked it with a pencil on the map, and the starting point was confirmed to be the location where the WT15 fleet may have been attacked before. "This is the end point." Bell clicked on Taragan Island again.
"If I were an American, I would definitely hope that this war would be resolved quickly. Therefore, I cannot take a detour. Well, the problem now is very simple. The straight line between two points is the shortest. We only need to follow this path. Just find it in a straight line!" Bell said.
"Mechanical and electrical personnel, turn on the other receiver and adjust the frequency to the civilian frequency." Bell ordered. Searching by yourself is very tiring. Therefore, Bell hopes to use other means to search for targets, such as receiving signals from merchant ships. Telegrams, the telegrams from merchant ships are ordinary Morse code and do not need to be deciphered. Moreover, the Sulawesi Sea is relatively busy now. If Americans cross over like this, the probability of encountering the merchant fleet is very high. Therefore, by receiving the signals of merchant ships, , can also assist in reconnaissance.
The huge plane was hovering in the sky. Three hours after takeoff, Bell's Ceres had penetrated deep into the Sulawesi Sea. At this time, he received the first important message!
"Captain, the Corsair was shot down. Before it was destroyed, they sent out a signal and were attacked by at least 4 fighter jets from the other side. They were carrier-based aircraft, not seaplanes. In addition, they also discovered a small fleet." Electromechanical member said.
"Where is the location?" Bell frowned and said.
"The distance is about 50 kilometers, the direction is 30 degrees north-west, and the angle error is about 5 degrees." The electromechanical technician said after playing with the instruments for a long time. The radio direction finding and ranging equipment on the aircraft was still a bit bad.
"In other words, we are already near the target area?" Bell looked at the map and ordered: "The plane climbed to a height above the clouds and then began to circle. Pay attention to receive new data."
At this moment, Bell's experience and sophistication were on full display. If there was no data, then the Ceres would naturally need to lower its altitude and search for the target visually. But now, the Corsair has sent the message, and other received aircraft will immediately rush to it. arrived, and what is now certain is that the Corsair is definitely near the target area, and it will not be a false alarm. The reason is simple, he was shot down! In this era, the distance to guide an aircraft to intercept a single flying target is definitely not far. Therefore, the Corsair used his own life to mark the approximate location of the target. In this case, in order to allow himself to discover the U.S. fleet , then the premise is that you must live! As for information and data? Then let other guys with a stronger head sacrifice themselves in exchange. Anyway, Bell won't go there on his own. This is not his motherland, and he can't risk his life if he commits a crime!
"Height 5,000 meters! Right here." Bell said after looking at the altimeter. At this time, the plane was flying above the clouds, like a falcon looking down at the earth. Its eyes passed through the gaps in the clouds, searching the sea, and its ears listened to the radio waves in the wind.
Looking to get free information from colleagues. And just under the clouds, small but fierce air battles were going on. A huge fleet was speeding towards Tarakan Island, and the aircraft carriers on the fleet also began to take off and land frequently. Planes, when the Japanese stepped up their search efforts, the Americans also felt the pressure!
"Something is wrong. We have discovered at least 30 Japanese reconnaissance aircraft in multiple directions today. We did not encounter this situation yesterday." Ma Jifen said to Sims with some worry.
"You mean we were exposed?" Sims frowned, and then measured the distance to the target. This distance was a bit far. Although he knew that paper could not contain the fire, he also considered that the fleet would have to wait until it reached the target. It may be exposed, but it is still a bit early now. It would be better if it could be exposed 6 hours later, closer to night.
"The precise location of our main fleet should not have been exposed yet, but the other party must have known that a large fleet has entered the Sulawesi Sea." Ma Jifen said.
"It seems that a war is inevitable, but the only good thing is that the Japanese can't save Taragen Island. Their fleet is still thousands of miles away. There is enough time for us to calmly blow the island to the ground." Mus said while touching his chin.
The Japanese know how to send sea and air forces to search for the Americans, and the Americans naturally know how to capture the location of the Japanese fleet through various means. This time, a special submarine called the Sentinel is specifically designed to do this job. The submarine is equipped with a very huge folding antenna, and the receiving frequency can cover all the currently known frequency bands of the Japanese Navy. They do not need to decipher the specific content of the telegram, they only need to seize the source of the Japanese fleet-level telegram, and through ranging and measuring Always determine the opponent's location.
Although the Japanese fleet may set up traps to deceive the US military through radio feints, the Americans have deployed enough sentries, and if the Japanese fleet wants to make large-scale mobilization, it will definitely not be able to completely hide its whereabouts. Therefore, although Sims It’s impossible to locate it accurately, but it’s still possible to determine the approximate location!
"We need to be careful about the Japanese land-based bomber force. Our estimate of the Japanese land-based force may be somewhat biased. The size of their two-engine and four-engine long-range fleets may be larger than we imagined. So far, So far, we can confirm that there have been three four-engine aircraft destroyed, and the sighting record is as high as 24 times," Sims said.
"V1500? It is indeed a difficult opponent. They have severely damaged the German fleet." Sims was also full of awe of these giant eagles soaring in the sky! After all, he doesn't have a twin-engine heavy interceptor specifically designed to deal with such targets!
"Yes, it is very difficult. Not only as a heavy bomber, it is also very powerful in air combat. We destroyed 2 V1500s, but we paid a heavy price of 5 fighter jets being destroyed and 2 being damaged. . And the V1500 that was finally discovered is not far away from us. If they get closer again, I am afraid they will find us soon!" Ma Jifen said.
"Send planes to kill them. We cannot expose ourselves prematurely. Otherwise, we will give the other party more time to prepare." Sims said.
"We can try to avoid it by changing the direction." Ma Jifen thought for a while and said.
"No, we can't avoid it. We must arrive at the attack position at the scheduled time. We have less than one night to attack. Time is very tight." Sims objected.
