The massive advance fleet of the deep-sea Western Front is lurking beneath the deep blue. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Hua Kaiyuan Ryuxing asked the battleship Qi Ji Xuan to recover after the two aircraft carriers were seriously damaged, and not to launch an attack on the Japanese Navy for the time being. Under this kind of order, she had no choice but to let Long Xiang hold on to his last breath in the sea area.

There are currently nearly 100 ヲ-class aircraft carriers, plus more than 1,000 ヌ-class light aircraft carriers as escort cannon fodder, and the harbor water ghosts are not interested in capturing the ship's mother. As for this time, it was purely their goodwill to レ that would not interfere with Long Xingxiang's plan to obtain the right to start a war against Japan.

The battleship Suhime couldn't understand why he was so interested in the aircraft carrier, and even kidnapped General Fletcher and the Enterprise. If she wants her to build more giant battleships like hers, it's the way to go. Even the latest Yamato-class battleship is a completely unadvantageous enemy in a one-on-one confrontation with her, let alone a carrier-based aircraft like flies and mosquitoes.

As the eyes of the front line, the submarine provides a good view for the battleship Suhime, even if she and the main force are lurking in the deep sea area, they can still see the movements of the entire battlefield. Sosuke Takayanagi's painstakingly multifaceted troops were a joke in the eyes of the battleship Suhime, how could something like radar compare to the real-time transmission of images from seventy submarines. Oh, and IJN is still using a toy called "Detective".

"It's 16 o'clock, and night is coming soon."

In the video, the first wave of carrier-based aircraft that took off from the Fifth Air War broke through the temporary attack team organized by the Hornet. This time, IJN also made a bloody investment, and the latest Zero Combat 53 took the lead, followed by a mixed unit composed of Comet Yiyi A and Tianshan modification.

In order to overcome the scissor tactics of the American Federal Air Force, Shozuru and Zuizuru use their ability to control the plane to the limit. This kind of capability is not available in the deep-sea fleet, at least the mass-produced ships do not even have the basic ability to think.

"I don't understand their aircraft carriers, isn't this a war of attrition with the lives of pilots and aviation fuel? If I go up directly, with a round of saturation shelling, nothing will be left. ”

Closing the image of extravagant waste in her eyes, the battleship Suhime began to take a nap before the action, since she became the deep sea Suhime, she has no motivation to do things, she doesn't sleep 12 hours a day, and she has no strength to yawn.

――――

"Isn't it remarkable? Where did all the momentum of the Coral Sea go? Sailors of the American Commonwealth? ”

After breaking through the air defense, Zuihe directly launched a mockery to the fleet of the American Federation with an all-channel broadcast. In order to understand the hatred of her, he even violated international regulations, ordered his subordinate pilots to fire at some of the pilots who were parachuting. By the time the crane stopped, the crane had already added a little blood to the sea.

"Well done, Iwamoto-kun! Keep up the momentum! Don't give this group of enemies a chance to breathe! Zuihe then complimented her flight captain, completely ignoring the other's unhappy tone.

"Ignore the cruisers and destroyers, we have only one goal, to blow up and sink Saratoga!"

Hearing Zuizuru's order in the frequency band, this time even Tadaichi Hara, who was in the captain's room, couldn't sit still, but no matter how loudly he shouted at Zuizuru on the deck, he couldn't make Zuizuru notice him. Xianghe didn't notice his sister's reckless behavior at the moment, and he was still presetting attack targets for each carrier-based aircraft.

At this moment, the enemy fleet had changed its formation, protecting two regular air carriers in the center, and countless anti-aircraft artillery pieces had organized an impermeable fire network.

Since Zuihe had accelerated the flight speed of his carrier-based aircraft without authorization, it was already too late for the pilots to evade it. The Tianshan ships that flew at the front were almost completely destroyed, and the comet also lost most of it, and the dropped bombs only sank a destroyer and a supply ship.

Shozuru's crew immediately changed course and circled into the enemy fleet from the rear where the firepower was relatively weak. In order to reduce losses, Xianghe had Tianshan throw aviation torpedoes from a long distance, and the comet severely damaged several cruisers and destroyers in the rear. As if to show his sincerity, Shozuru specially left three bombs and dropped them near the Saratoga, leaving a slight trace on the hull of the opposing ship.

This was followed by the second wave of carrier-based aircraft, and Xianghe commanded his pilots to concentrate on the Hornet, although several comets were shot down, but the deck of the Hornet caught fire, and almost lost the ability to take off carrier-based aircraft.

Time does not allow the two sides to continue fighting, which is equivalent to giving the Hornet a chance to breathe, but this is not good news for this aircraft carrier fleet of the American Federation, their chances of victory are already very low.

"I'm not reconciled! Obviously, they were still facing us in a compound formation a second ago. Zuihe watched the wounded carrier-based planes fly back, and for the first time fled back to the cabin with tears in his eyes.

Assuming that there is no accident in which Zuihe recklessly buries the crew, the Fifth Air War will face Saratoga and the nearly crippled Hornet tomorrow. And now the Zuihe has lost a large number of carrier-based aircraft and pilots, which is not much different from the battered Hornet.

The sea at night is very quiet, the news of the total annihilation of the advance force to which Long Xiang belongs has been transmitted to the Fifth Voyage Battle, and the rescue team has been dispatched.

"Retreat?" Shohe didn't expect Sousuke Takayanagi to give such an order. "After sacrificing Long Xiang and so many people, the opportunity is in front of us, we are retreating now, how to face the Fourth Naval Battle?"

Yuan Zhongyi looked much calmer, and I am afraid that it would not be embarrassing for him to talk to the Admiral of the Fourth Naval War about the defeat of the battle now. "It's not that we should retreat immediately, but we should be ready to retreat at any time, just in case. Your sister is now almost incapacitated, and you lost 10 carrier-based aircraft today. Today Henderson Airport was disrupted by the raid of Long Xiang, and tomorrow they will definitely not let us go. ”

Yuan Zhongyi pointed to the map, "The enemy has more than 200 usable aircraft, and on our side, counting the only remaining 20 or so in Ruihe, there are only 80 carrier-based aircraft. And you also know that bringing inexperienced pilots into the fray only increases the death toll. ”

"The seizure of Henderson Airport doomed us to find it difficult to seize air supremacy in the Solomon Islands. It's like a giant aircraft carrier that can't move, ready to take off and provide support. ”

After listening to Yuan Zhongyi's explanation, Xianghe could only clench his fists and blame himself on the side, if it weren't for the mistake of burying a group of carrier-based aircraft and pilots today, they would have won this aircraft carrier battle, and now they can only prepare to retreat in the eyes of laymen.

Yuan Zhongyi didn't blame Ruihe, after all, blaming others can't change the facts that have happened, and the other party is also unintentional. "Xianghe, you don't have to blame yourself, I will bear the responsibility. After the fall of the Second Air War, you have another burden on your shoulders. Learn from the experience and avoid making mistakes like today's in the future. On the plus side, at least we seem to have won, and when we go back, we will receive a commendation from the Navy headquarters, and the pension of the fallen pilots will be greatly increased. ”

"Don't push yourself. Whether it is Ruihe or you Xianghe, they are all newcomers to the aircraft carrier. You don't have the experience of a single air battle, you need time. ”

Let Shohe go back and have a good rest, Hara Tadashi, who was sitting in the captain's room, leaned back in his chair, he took out a pipe from the drawer that had not been used for several years, hesitated for a moment and lit the fire.

There is also a chance, from the time it gets dark until now, he has been thinking about how to destroy the enemy aircraft carrier fleet next. A gambler like Sosuke Takayanagi can only make the decision to retreat, but he may have sensed a greater threat. The deep-sea fleet must also be cruising in these waters, and the mysterious disappearance of the Enterprise is inseparable from them. After all, Sousuke Takayanagi didn't plan to use the card of the Five Naval Battles this time, and the whole operation was just a test from the beginning. Sousuke Takayanagi: He can't control the attitude of the deep-sea fleet.

Pearl Harbor and Holland Harbor have both been reduced to the bases of the deep-sea fleet, and they have one thing in common: not only rich reserves of war resources, but also many sunken or damaged ships of the American Federation. From the comparison of the information obtained in the past, these wrecks have all disappeared, perhaps turned into materials by their deep-sea fleet.

In this way, the deep-sea fleet is the natural enemy of the two navies, and in the eyes of the other side, the ships of the two navies are "food".

That's all Tadaichi Hara could guess, and Sosuke Takayanagi obviously knew better, but he had been hiding it. 、

Before he knew it, the tobacco had burned out, and Hara Tadaichi put away his pipe and walked out of the captain's room, thinking of where the opportunity was - after Long Xiang lost power, he was still able to get in touch with the unit where Sosuke Takayanagi was sitting. The Deep Sea Fleet is now absolutely aware of the situation of the Longxiang and has not taken it. Previously, it was said that the Wyvern lost power for several hours before sinking and drifted alone at sea, but the Enterprise disappeared on the way back.

The deep-sea fleet has never moved against the Japanese navy, whether it is the bases they have seized or the ships they have seized, all of them are the naval forces of the American Federation.

"If this is the hole card of the deep-sea fleet, then the opportunity arises. Hit the Saratoga as well, and then hand it over to the Deep Sea Fleet. ”

And just when he thought he had a good idea, the air defense siren of the Shozuru sounded. Xianghe and a group of staff officers were rushing over in a panic, "The enemy has organized a round of night attacks. ”

Xianghe's simple words made Yuan Zhongyi stunned in place, taking off the carrier-based aircraft formation at night, what can the pilot see clearly?

"It can't be."

Xianghe sent someone to arrange for the anti-aircraft machine gun crew to be in position, "I don't believe it either, but my electric scouts have detected the approach of the enemy plane." ”

As if hearing something, Shozuru jerked up at the dark sky to the southwest. "Here they are, and it's still 2 minutes away."

There was no time to marvel at the ability of the American pilots to open the night attack, leaving only two minutes for the two aircraft carriers to prepare.

Zuihe also woke up from his sleep, and he didn't have time to change out of his pajamas, so he ran to the deck as soon as possible. Her crew did not know from which direction the enemy would come, and some even said that it was a miracle that the pilots of the American Federation did not crash during the voyage.

"All hands enter the battle sequence!" After saying this from the radio, Zuihe quickly changed course, and she could only pray that the enemy pilots could not see the target clearly at night.
