Chapter 266: Low Altitude Pass Over John's Fleet
"The 31st Squadron moves forward to break up their formation.
Be careful not to collide, and be alert."
The 3rd Carrier-Based Aviation Brigade has two carrier-based fighter squadrons under its command.
The 31st Carrier Fighter Squadron is one of them, with a total of 14 F-8 Crusader supersonic carrier-based fighters.
"Poison Wolf Squadron received!"
Squadron 31! Codename: Poison Wolf Squadron!
“Boom boom boom…”
One after another, the F-8 Crusader fighters began to accelerate and leave the squadron, and the turbojet engines at the tail began to roar.
14 F-8 carrier-based aircraft broke away from the formation and rushed towards the air defense line formed by John, without any concealment, and rushed straight towards them.
"God, they're coming towards us!"
"It's terrible. My plane is moving at a snail's pace."
"I can't maintain formation anymore. I can see them charging towards us."
"Oh my god, they're just like bulls."
Faced with the increasingly faster and faster Viper Squadron, the pilots of dozens of Sea Hurricanes and Swordfish fighters were thrown into chaos.
In their eyes, the Poison Wolf Squadron was like a group of charging lions. Their momentum alone was enough to scare them into a panic.
"Should we fire at them?"
"Damn idiot, turn off all your fuses and don't kill us."
"You can only open fire after the ancients open fire on us!"
After hearing this, the air commander's somewhat exasperated voice suddenly rang out on the radio channel.
He and all the pilots did not think that their weak arms and legs were a match for the jet aircraft.
If the gun goes off accidentally, they will be the first to suffer.
He didn't want to go into the sea to feed the fish, and the other pilots probably thought the same.
He also didn't think it was unheroic.
If faced with other countries, they will unhesitatingly defend the security of the fleet's airspace.
But facing a fleet of jets, he didn't have the courage.
"Rush over!"
When the captain of the Poison Wolf Squadron saw that the formation in front had begun to disintegrate, he gave the order in a cold voice.
The F-8 fighter jets were like tigers among a flock of sheep.
He pushed the accelerator to the bottom and looked forward with a determined look.
Under his control, the speed of the F-8 fighter jet became faster and faster.
He glanced at the airspeed indicator and saw that it was approaching 670 knots. If it exceeded 660 knots, it would enter supersonic mode.
Layers of white shock waves seemed to be attached to the surface of the aircraft, covering the area behind the nose.
At this time, the F-8 fighter jet he was flying just crashed into the group of aircraft.
“Boom…Boom…Boom…”
The sonic boom sounded like thunder, and as the fighter plane moved forward, the airflow in the surrounding airspace became chaotic and turbulent.
Two Sea Hurricanes flying nearby were affected.
The thunderous sonic boom made them dizzy and their minds went blank.
Then a turbulent airflow came down, causing their fighter planes to shake and sway violently.
"Damn it, my fighter is going out of control!"
"It's too fast. They're moving too fast."
"FUCK, there's no way to avoid it. They're playing tricks on us."
"......"
When the F-8 rushed into the group of planes, John's plane in the path quickly dodged. Soon their formation was completely messed up and they could not keep the formation in order.
Moreover, the Poison Wolf Squadron just wanted to play tricks on them, constantly disturbing the airflow to interfere with their flight, making them busy and unable to take care of other things.
The aircraft group behind also began to accelerate and passed through the sky, heading straight for John's fleet.
"Our air defenses have been breached. The ancients' jet planes are truly formidable. Our small planes are no match for them."
Admiral Barnes, commander of the Far East Fleet, looked gravely at the fleet of jet planes whose pupils were constantly dilating.
Unexpectedly, their air defense line collapsed as soon as they made contact. The gap between the two sides was too big.
This also began to shake the confidence of the Barnes Navy.
"Order all ships to prepare for air defense, but no one can be the first to fire at the ancient country's fighter planes unless they attack us first!
If anyone accidentally fires, I will personally court-martial him."
As Admiral Barnes gave the order, all ships' anti-aircraft guns were aimed at the direction of the incoming jet group.
A heavy atmosphere spread across every warship, and John's sailors looked anxiously towards the sky, at the incoming aircraft.
"Each squadron should fly over the field in order, so that these foreigners can open their eyes and see clearly who we are!"
"Red Wolf Squadron received!"
"Northwest Wolf Squadron received!"
"Coyote Squadron received!"
"Arctic Wolf Squadron received!"
"......"
There are ways and methods of confrontation in peacetime.
The method adopted by the Third Aviation Brigade of the Third Fleet of the Ancient Navy was to fly over the fleet at low altitude in turn, giving the foreigners the greatest shock.
This low-altitude approach also means they have the ability to strike them.
This is absolutely humiliating for the proud Westerners.
Westerners have done a lot of this kind of thing, and now it’s just a matter of changing circumstances.
"They're coming!"
The colonial governor, Sir Fulton, looked at the fleet of planes flying low over the sea with a somewhat grim expression.
At this time, the figure of the F-8 jet fighter appeared clearly in front of them.
Also displayed before them were the rocket launchers and the bombs mounted under the wings.
When these weapons were clearly displayed in front of John's people, they also understood that these jet carrier-based aircraft were capable of launching attacks on them at any time.
"Boom boom boom..."
The roar of the engine constantly stimulated their eardrums.
Under the stunned eyes of Sailor John, one F-8 after another flew low over their heads.
At this time, the two sides can even be described as being very close.
They were also the first foreign troops to get so close to jet fighters.
But this approach is not so friendly.
At least in Admiral Barnes's opinion it was a way to humiliate them!
"You bunch of damn, disgusting yellow monkeys, you are just shit!"
At this moment, Admiral Barnes' mentality collapsed, and he started cursing at the jet carrier-based aircraft flying over his head.
"God, they're so cool! When are our fighter jets going to come out?"
Compared to Admiral Barnes who had lost his mind, the sailors looked at the F-8 and A-4 jet carrier-based aircraft flying low at low altitude with anger and envy.
A while ago, there was a lot of buzz in their country about the development of jet aircraft, which won support from all over the country.
But so much time has passed and there is still no movement.
One after another, the fighter planes passed over John's Far East Fleet in an almost humiliating manner, as if they were in an empty space.
The face of the John Empire Royal Navy was directly thrown to the ground and trampled on repeatedly, feeling angry but helpless.
After the fleet left, the atmosphere in the fleet was still very heavy.
Each of John's sailors was like a defeated rooster, grief-stricken.
This incident completely shattered all the pride of John's new Far East Fleet.
They have been galloping around the world for more than two hundred years and have built up the century-old naval spirit of the vast British Empire, but at this moment it seems so ridiculous.
At this moment, there were only four words in Admiral Barnes' mind that could describe his anger: This is too much!
They didn't do anything wrong, so why did the ancient people bully them in this way?
"Protest, we must protest! We strongly protest their shameless provocation."
Sir Fulton, who was standing by, seemed to see through his thoughts and spoke out what was in his heart.
"What do we do now? Keep going?"
Looking at Admiral Barnes, who remained silent but still had anger in his eyes, Sir Fulton lowered his voice and asked.
Admiral Barnes restrained his expression upon hearing this.
"keep going!"
The ancient navy humiliated them in this way, which also meant that the other side would not take the initiative to fire at them.
He also knew that the ancient navy was waiting for them ahead.
If they stopped or turned back at this time, they would be no different from cowards.
Even if we cannot defeat the ancient navy, we cannot lose in momentum.
Their century-old naval foundation allows them to withstand short-term failures.
At least that's how it seemed to Admiral Barnes.
After the Third Carrier-Based Aircraft Brigade's actions, John's fleet could continue to advance with peace of mind, no longer having to worry about being attacked by unknown forces at any time.
"No speed reduction or U-turn? Looks like you still want to have a collision with us. Then let's have a collision!"
Zheng Guangyun touched the heavy armor of the Yujing battleship, his eyes eager to try.
At this moment, he could even imagine how shocked John's people would be when they saw the Yujing battleship.
The size of 7 tons alone is enough to scare them silly.
The fleets of both sides are still approaching each other at high speed.
Every move of John's fleet is also under the surveillance of the E-2 Hawkeye early warning aircraft.
Battleship Nelson!
"General, all the reconnaissance planes we sent out were intercepted by the ancient country's jets."
Admiral Barnes' eyes narrowed.
"It seems we are very close!"
Just as Admiral Barnes had expected, a large fleet was sailing on the sea less than 80 kilometers to their north.
The 7-ton Yujing battleship took the lead, sailing in front of all the fleets.
It's like a moving mountain on the sea.
As time passed, the distance between the two sides continued to close, until the hazy figure of the fleet appeared.
