Chapter 2703： Guess one (1/2)

Should we increase the flying height? ”Gates asked.

”I think...” But before Cunningham's words were finished, the Japanese navigator next to him interrupted him: ”Look here, it seems to be a fighter!”

Hearing this sentence, Cunningham's hairs stood up! My own plane is now flying at an altitude of about 50 meters above sea level. If a fighter jet rushes down at this time, then I don't even have room to dodge!

Cunningham immediately looked in the direction indicated by the Japanese, and saw that there were 4 planes flying by about 300 meters from the sea in the distance, maybe because of his camouflage, maybe because of the light problem. The other party did not find himself. And they seemed to have a goal, very fast, and soon disappeared from Cunningham's vision.

”We seem to have encountered a major event. Order the plane to return quickly.” Cunningham said solemnly.

”Are we not continuing the investigation?” Gates said somewhat unexpectedly.

”No investigation, it's meaningless to figure out which ships are in the distance. What we saw this time may be a big guy.” Cunningham said.

”Are we going to contact the headquarters?” Gates said while preparing for the report.

”Wait until we leave here at least 100 kilometers before sending the report. Do as I said, and I will explain to you why when I go back,” Cunningham said.

So, before the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the sky, Cunningham and his crew flew to their base quickly, exactly two and a half hours later, at the moment the Felixstowe F5 seaplane just stopped. At that time, Cunningham jumped off the plane, no matter what other crew members ran to the headquarters of the flight squadron, it was a two-story building made of stone and wood, the commander, the former British Royal Navy reconnaissance unit Brigadier General Goode Nuo works there.

”Your Excellency, found an American fleet in the AD5 area. It is very large!” Cunningham said loudly while pushing the door open. When he was in the Royal Navy, Cunningham was Goodnow’s staff, so the relationship between the two was very good. Now in Japan, Goodnow has no military position in the Royal Navy, so there is no such polite relationship between the two. . Some things can be reported directly.

”Really? If this is the case, then the result of Unit 6 is very bad.” Goodnow got up and scratched the chart with a pencil in his hand, and spent an × on a certain position in the north. .

”What do you mean?” Cunningham said unexpectedly.

”One of our seaplanes was missing. It was missing when it sent the report. We just received the verification code for the front part of the telegram at the time, and then there was no more text. We estimate that it was shot down. It was shot down a bit north of AD5. Area,” Goodnor said.

”Is it this evening?” Cunningham thought for a while and said.

”Yes, before sunset, did you see Unit 6 being shot down?” Goodnor said.
