章 662: 621 Rescue's Strange Ship

Once again, a Flying Fortress Bomber flying over the sea battlefield carried a designated observer who was relentlessly peering through binoculars, surveying the sea beneath.

The work of searching for the downed airmen wasn't easy at all. They didn't have advanced gadgets like GPS, so they could only rely on the coordinates reported by airmen on their return flight to approximately determine the search area.

The frustrating thing was when the two B-17 Flying Fortress Bombers carrying out the search mission returned to the given coordinates, they found the situation entirely different from what they had imagined.

All over the sea were floating debris, pieces from sunken warships, and sailors and bodies bobbing on the surface.

The sailors of Shireck, hoping to be rescued, would also wave to the planes of the Great Tang Kingdom flying overhead. With time, they had drifted apart, covering a vast area, severely impeding the search and rescue mission.
