”How much did our attack mission complete?” Sims asked after squeezing the cigar in his hand.
”70% has been completed.” A staff officer said.
”Why is it so slow? Isn't it 65% just now?” Sims frowned and said dissatisfied.
”General, you just asked ten minutes ago.” The staff officer said embarrassingly.
”We have to speed up.” Sims looked at the pocket watch in his hand and said.
”It's very difficult. We are attacking targets that are relatively far away. The accuracy has declined. In addition, the island is already a sea of flames and the smoke is too high. Even if seaplanes are used to provide corrective shooting, it is difficult to guarantee efficiency. So if we want to completely complete today's task, it may take a long time.” An officer said.
”How much ammunition do we have?” Sims said to Majifen.
”The number of armor-piercing bombs used in naval battles is still sufficient, but the number of high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs used to attack the land is already very small. We may not be able to complete the previously scheduled tasks.” Ma Jifen said.
”Why is this?” Sims asked.
”We underestimated the impact of fire smoke on shooting accuracy. From here, you can see the thick smoke in the distance, and the dark clouds formed after various fine powders are thrown into the air. The seaplane wants to find the smoke obscured. The oil wells are also very difficult. We have now destroyed at least 70% of our targets. The Japanese oil refineries and ports were all over, and the oil wells were hit hard. Before the end of the war, the Taragan Island oil field was actually unable to function. , I feel that we can choose to evacuate. After all, we are already more than half an hour late.” Ma Jifen looked worriedly at the distant night. This is the darkest time before dawn. After a while, Venus will be Rises up.
”70 points is unacceptable! Even if it is not perfect, we must at least get a good one! After destroying more than 85% of the targets, we immediately evacuate! At the same time, we signal the aircraft carrier detachment to extend their fighters’ predetermined cover point to the west. 50 kilometers!” Sims thought for a while and said.
”We will be more than an hour later than the scheduled time. That is to say, by the time of daybreak, we will give the Japanese land-based aviation team an extra hour of attack time.” Ma Jifen said worriedly.
”Even if they are given an extra hour, it will be difficult for them to organize a second round of offensive. Based on the current situation, after dawn, we will need an extra 4 hours to withdraw from the attack range of the Japanese land-based aviation force. , The Japanese cannot attack again after completing an attack in 4 hours.” Sims said.
”Your calculations like this are not accurate. You should know that even if our fighters carry auxiliary fuel tanks, the air combat time is at most 3 hours. Fierce chase and battle will increase fuel consumption. One more hour means that in the end, we There may be no fighter cover over his head.” Ma Jifen said.
