The attack on the Fifth Air Force continued until sunset.

In fact, at six o'clock, the second attack aircraft flew over the sea where the Fifth Air Force was located, and the battle could be declared over.

Before this, the two "Xianghe" classes had disappeared from the sea.

Because the attack distance was shortened by dozens of kilometers and the return distance was shorter, the second attack aircraft group scattered and searched the entire sea area after arriving.

No aircraft carrier was found, only two pieces of water covered with fuel, as well as many lifeboats and officers and soldiers who fell into the water were found.

Finally, the fleet focused on bombing two heavy cruisers.

After being attacked continuously, the Ligen and Zhumo were both sunk.

In addition, three light cruisers were sunk.

Actual combat proves that the "Ligen" class, known as the "strongest air defense cruiser", is also vulnerable to groups of bombers and torpedoes.

This also reflects from one side that the hull of the heavy cruiser is too small and is not an ideal air defense platform.

At this point, it lasted all day, to be precise, the battle during the whole day came to an end.

Trouble, and it is coming soon.

When the leader of the second attack aircraft group sent the battle report back, the first attack aircraft group had already returned to the fleet, and dozens of fighter jets were landing one after another.

At this time, the sun has set below sea level.

If you are in the First Air Special Mixed Fleet, there is no problem. The pilots of the First Shipboard Air Force have practiced landing at night. But what's so bad is that this is the Third Shipboard Air Force Force. More than half of the pilots are novice, and many of them have only landed on aircraft carriers a few times.

Even the old bird who has practiced relies entirely on the indicator lights waving from the ship's guide to land on the aircraft carrier on a dark night, which is absolutely thrilling. It is normal for a slightly smaller courage to pee the crotch of the ship when landing.

The key is that most carrier-based aircraft, especially torpedo aircraft and bombers, do not have much fuel left, and they must land on the aircraft carrier as soon as possible.

Because I haven't encountered many air defense fighters, the escort fighters still have enough fuel.

Now, these rookies are landing in a dim evening of fiber optic fiber in a fighter jet that is about to burn out.

That is definitely dangerous!

The ground crew had already cleared the flight deck, and the captain also summoned the officers and soldiers who were on the run to form several damage management teams, responsible for fire fighting and rescue.

In addition, the order of landing has also been adjusted.

The commander landed first, then the skilled pilot, and finally it was the turn of the rookie novices.

This is impossible, because after the landing fails, it takes several minutes to clear the flight deck, and the plane behind may not be able to wait so long.

The more than ten planes in front were still smooth.

There were several minor mistakes, but they were all blocked and protected by the network, which did not cause major accidents and did not affect the combat institutions that landed behind them.

At 6:50, the thirteenth place was sent, and the "Hornet" driven by a novice, had an accident.

Perhaps it was too nervous. The pilot did not retract the accelerator according to the rules before landing the ship. His luck was very bad, so he actually hung up the seventh blocking rope.

Among the fourteen blocking ropes in total, the middle one is most easily caught, so it is most worn.

As a result, the "Hornet" pulled off the blocking cable, rushed into the blocking net, and then ran into another "Hornet" that was parked at the front of the deck and had no time to move away.

The flight deck suddenly became a mess, but luckily, there was no fire after the collision.

The flight deck of the "Imperial Capital" was also "paralized" for more than ten minutes.

Fortunately, the accident alerted the pilots behind.

Although there have been several collisions since then, the problems are not big, and they are all dealt with in a timely manner and have no impact on the landing of the fighter jets.

By 7:15, the last "typhoon" landed on the "Imperial Capital".

The situation on the "Paijing" side was worse. A "Flying Fish" and a "Hornet" did not hang a blocking cable while landing, and directly hit the blocking net. Because there was too much time to delay, the last "Hornet" forced a landing on the sea after burning out the fuel.

By 7:30, the last "typhoon" landed on the "Paijing".

Of course, this is just the first round.

After eight o'clock, the second attack aircraft group will return to the fleet.

In order to save time, or to have no time to delay the ground crew, both aircraft carriers organized officers and soldiers to deliver food to the flight deck, that is, let the ground crew have dinner on the deck, and the fleet officers and soldiers were responsible for helping the ground crew clean the flight deck.

This is a must-do work.

When a carrier-based aircraft lands, only a small screw is needed to lead to a huge disaster.

At first, on the "Paijing", the "Hornet" had a revolver tire blowout after landing, and after hitting the blocking net, it crashed into the bomber parked in front. It was only after the inspection that the one that caused the tire blowout of the fighter was a screw that fell from other fighter planes.

Taking this opportunity, Bai Zhizhan, Li Yunxiang and Li Mingbo and other main commanders of the headquarters took turns to have supper.

Although recycling fighter jets is mainly about aircraft carrier officers and soldiers, according to the rules, the chief of the Fleet Command must be respected on the flagship.

Even if you don’t have to participate, you should pay attention.

Just after eight o'clock, the combat aircraft of the second group of aircraft flew back first.

Fighters are faster and return at night. Because there is no need to worry about encountering enemy fighters, there is no need to cover bombers and torpedoes.

At this time, Bai Zhizhan had already gone to the officer activity center.

According to his request, the staff organized the battle reports and related information in a category according to the order of time, fleets, combat locations and other elements.

In addition, a large-sized chart was laid on the assembled table.

Several staff members are doing their work on the map, to be precise, by inserting flags, marking the battles that occurred during the day and various related elements on the map.

In this way, the commander can see the overall situation clearly at a glance.

For commanders who know how to do things on pictures or have been staff officers, seeing the marked icons will give you an immersive feeling.

In fact, this is the tradition of the Imperial Navy.

Li Yunxiang, Li Mingbo and others have not arrived yet, but they are not in a hurry. It has been a whole night anyway.

Besides, Bai Zhizhan also needs some time to sort out his ideas.

The Fifth Air Force was wiped out in one fell swoop, and the record of sinking two aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers and three light cruisers, and injuring several enemy ships. To be honest, Bai Zhizhan still found it unbelievable, mainly because this victory with no weight at all came too easily!

Liu Xiangzhen fought for two days before sinking four aircraft carriers, and the special mixed group suffered heavy losses.

Baizhi Zhan led the special mixed fleet with the worst combat power. He sunk two aircraft carriers at the cost of losing more than a dozen fighter jets, and half of them were destroyed during landing.

Could it be that God finally discovered his conscience?

Or, is there another reason?

Bai Zhizhan obviously did not believe in the former, and he would probably not be at ease if he didn't understand this issue.

"Commander!"

Perhaps because of his distractedness, Bai Zhizhan felt that Zhou Yongtao suddenly appeared in front of him.
Chapter completed!
