Just as the U.S. airfield in the Solomon Islands was taking off fighter jets to cover Spruance's Second Fleet, another telegram arrived.

This telegram made the officers in the telegraph room widen their eyes, and then hurriedly ran out of the telegraph room as fast as they could, rushing to the ground command and dispatch room.

"The attack aircraft of the First Fleet flew to the Japanese fleet! The attack aircraft of the First Fleet flew to the Japanese fleet! He rushed into the dispatch room and shouted loudly.

"What? The attack aircraft of the First Fleet were lifted into the air? Damn it! "Hearing this, the general, who had already given the order to take off to escort the fighters, complained in a desperate wail.

Now the airfields on the islands are in chaos, the fighters that were supposed to carry out air defense missions over the Solomon Islands are running out of fuel, and the fighters on the ground are preparing to take off.

The airport, which was already busy, is now even more crowded. Exactly how to arrange these planes became a difficult problem for American commanders.

"Let the fighters on the ground take off as fast as they can! Fast! In the end, the American commander, gritting his teeth, gave the order loudly.

The fighter in the sky can hold out for a few minutes, and use this time difference to take off the fighter on the ground first.

Then, at the risk of being raided by Japanese bombers, the patrol fighters in the sky who had run out of fuel were recovered, and then the escort fighters took off to the Japanese fleet to provide escort for the attack aircraft formation of their own fleet.

Finally, after these planes take off, fighter jets for the air defense of the Solomon Islands will take off.

"The Japanese should not have enough troops to launch two attacks at the same time, they are attacking General Spruance's fleet, it is impossible to come to trouble our Solomon Islands airfield again!" The commander said firmly.

Now that he has made up his mind, everything begins to be executed in an orderly manner. The fighters on the ground began to take off frantically, and then they flew directly out of the airspace of the airport without even forming a formation.

Next, the fuel-depleted P-40 fighters, flying in the sky, began to descend in altitude, occupy the airfield runway, began to land for refueling.

On the other side of the tarmac, which was full of planes, American ground crews were desperately debugging the fighter jets.

These standby P-40s will soon take off to cover the carrier-based attack of the Navy's First Fleet. It's a pity that they have to wait, wait for the airfield runway to vacate before they can take off for battle.

On the other side, General Halsey, standing on his flagship Sangamun, gave the order to take off the second group of attack aircraft.

Halsey knew that even if he had 4 aircraft carriers, even if the Japanese Navy's carrier-based aircraft had been almost consumed, he still had no advantage at all.

If the Japanese fleet came to its senses and found that there were American aircraft carriers nearby, his fleet would not necessarily win the confrontation with the Japanese fleet.

Therefore, a preemptive attack is the key to saving himself! He had to crush the Japanese fleet once at a time to win the naval battle.

Just as the Japanese top brass did not know that the United States had aircraft carriers to participate in the war, the US top brass could not judge Japan's participation in the war.

According to Nimitz's inference, the Japanese army was likely to amass about 10 battleships in the Solomon Islands.

Extrapolating from this situation, if the air forces were tied, and the Japanese fleet broke through to the Solomons, Halsey's three fleets would still be defeated.

"Let the second batch of carrier-based attack aircraft take off! And then let the rest of the fighters take off too! If the attack doesn't work, then we're passive! Halsey broke through the cauldron and used all of his offensive and defensive forces.

Halsey's nickname is the Brute, proving that he is a stubborn and strong commander. What he decides, ordinary people can't change.

Now, the bull showed its sharp horns, ready to crash into the distant target, unaware of the approaching danger.

At the same time, on the battleship Nagato, the flagship of the Japanese fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto felt unprecedented pressure.

He was waiting for news of his first group of attack aircraft, and he hoped that his first attack would work.

As long as he could sink or seriously damage the American battleship, he could have the battleships under the command of the 2nd Sentai rush up and take out the opponent's southbound fleet.

Then, the air fleet, as the main force, and his direct fleet, can cover the transport fleet and the landing fleet, and immediately retreat out of danger.

"How much time is left, the attack aircraft unit reaches the target?" Rarely, he nervously asked the officer beside him with his hands behind his back.

As the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku has always been calm and calm, giving his subordinates a sense of strategizing.

At this time, only he knew that he was already nervous, and strongly hoped that he could get the battle situation on the front line as soon as possible.

"Your Excellency! In a few minutes, they will be able to carry out the first round of attacks on the target! The officer in charge of liaison bowed his head and reported.

Yamamoto Fifty-six nodded, looked in the direction where his attack aircraft unit was flying, and ordered again: "Let Nagumo Tadaichi turn north and prepare to leave the battlefield!" Take-off of the second batch of attack aircraft units ......"

Protecting the air fleet behind his fleet is what Yamamoto is most concerned about. In the last few island attack operations, as a direct commander, he has thoroughly understood the importance of carrier-based aircraft.

If there is no large-scale carrier-based aircraft, future operations to defend the island or to attack the island will fall into a state of total passivity.

Therefore, the Japanese Navy must have as many carrier-based aircraft as possible, as well as large aircraft carriers to carry these carrier-based aircraft.

"Hey!" The officer in front of him bowed his head and turned to deliver the marshal's new order. Soon, the second group of attack aircraft of the Japanese Navy began to be sent to the deck in preparation for takeoff.

Nagumo Tadaichi also felt that it was too dangerous for his fleet to stay where it was, after all, the American fighter plane that had just shot down and was following his carrier-based plane would definitely report the location of his fleet.

These American fighters were not afraid of death, and they did not even have the intention of returning home, and they did not leave until they ran out of fuel.

In fact, even after World War II, the U.S. military's nuclear strike plan has a one-way bomb death squad that "has no return".

"Shift north! Attention the Sky Zero fighters! Do not let the planes of the Americans get close to the fleet! While carrying out Yamamoto Fifty-Six's order, Nagumo Tadaichi emphasized. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
