"Japanese fighters! Get ready for battle! In the cramped cockpit of the fighter jet, the American fighter pilot loudly reminded his comrades.

The P-40 fighter jets suddenly scattered in the sky, tangled with the oncoming Japanese Zero fighters.

The two sides come and go, and the sound of the engine constantly reverberates. Soon, the first American fighter was shot down, and the combat capabilities of the pilots of both sides, apparently, were not on the same level.

Even if the United States can restore a large number of fighter planes and warships, it will not be able to improve the quality of its fighters in a short period of time.

Therefore, when facing the Japanese elite pilots, the inexperienced disadvantages of the American novices were highlighted, and they could only be beaten passively.

Fortunately, American fighter pilots had a good way to fight the Zero fighter, which was the "Thatch Scissors" tactic.

Using this tactic, they were able to maximize the passivity of the Zero fighters and cooperate with each other to take out those elite Japanese pilots.

Unless the Japanese fighters do not bite the tails of the American fighters, they will definitely show their flaws when turning.

Looking at the planes in the sky where the two sides were entangled, Nagumo Tadaichi's fists clenched tightly. He prayed for a miracle and for his fleet to escape.

"Those are not attack aircraft! Those are the fighters of the Americans! The chief of staff seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said with some rejoicing.

The last batch was repulsed by American attack planes, this time it was fighter jets but no attack planes - there seems to be a deviation in coordination on the American side, which gave the Japanese Navy hope of escaping.

"But...... Sky Zero Fighter ...... What to do? Nan Yunzhong asked with an ugly face.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the ground crew on the deck of the aircraft carrier was desperately pushing the carrier-based aircraft in their hands to send these planes back to the rear of the battleship.

They must act as soon as possible so that the fighters can take to the air in time to fight a defensive operation before trying to counterattack.

While these people were busy, a Zero fighter in the sky was hit by machine gun bullets from American planes and fell in flames.

Most of the Zero fighters in the sky actually have no ammunition in reserve. As an air combat weapon, the Zero was armed with two machine guns and two cannons, with the guns having only a measly 60 rounds of ammunition.

When intercepting the US carrier-based attack planes, the shells of the aircraft guns were used up, and the Japanese fighter pilots did not consciously save their ammunition at that time, thinking that they could return to the aircraft carrier at any time to replenish it.

The machine guns had a mixed amount of ammunition left, some were gone, and some had more than 100 rounds left.

However, the 7.7 mm machine guns used by the Japanese naval aviation were obviously not as powerful as the 20 mm guns.

Now, after a round of dogfighting, most of the ammunition left by the Japanese fighters has been exhausted, and the American fighters are beginning to take the initiative.

The two armies were at war, and when something went wrong with one side, the other always felt it first – and the American pilots soon discovered that their opponents rarely seemed to open fire.

Since the other party is unwilling to fire, of course you have to let go of your hands and feet to attack as much as you want. Once again, the American fighters shot down three Japanese fighters who had run out of ammunition.

Standing in the bridge strapped with sandbags, Nagumo Zhong watched as his elite fighter pilots were shot down one after another, and his fingernails were already in the flesh.

Those are the elite of the Empire, and they are irreparable elite pilots! On weekdays, he would be distressed for a long time if he lost one, but now he has lost nearly 100 in one day!

"Hasn't the deck been cleared yet? Yaga! He turned his head sideways, looked at the commander of the USS Akagi, and asked coldly.

The captain bowed his head and confessed, "I'm really sorry! Your Excellency, General! The ground crew is already working as fast as they can! But there were so many planes that they couldn't clear the flight deck right away! ”

"Yaga!" Nagumo Tadaichi seems to have forgotten other words except for Yaga. He just repeated the word Yaga over and over again, and then looked at the sky in the distance.

There, another Zero was shot down, and this was already the fifth!

The well-trained Japanese pilots, who could be ten powerful samurai on weekdays, were now dodging in the sky because they had no ammunition, and were slaughtered by the American rookie pilots.

Above the sky, American fighter pilots also realized that the Japanese planes had no ammunition: "They ran out of ammunition!" Just bite and fire! Just bite and fire! ”

The American P-40 fighter is a sur-combat radius sortie, so it can only fly one way. They could not return home, but they invisibly increased the time spent on the front line.

After all, they don't need this fuel to go back, and they can continue to fight until they run out of fuel.

"Hunt down these Japanese planes! Don't let such a great opportunity go to waste! Glancing at the fuel gauge, which was already a third of the fuel gauge left, the American pilot shouted loudly.

The Japanese planes began to break down, and no matter how elite the pilots were, they could not withstand the weight of not being able to return fire. They dodged American fighters, swaying left and right to avoid attacks from American fighters.

Soon, the 6th and 7th Japanese planes were shot down, while the American side lost only 3 planes.

For the first time, there was such a turn in the Pacific theater: the losses of American fighters turned out to be lower than those of Japanese fighters!

Although, no matter how many Japanese planes these American P-40 fighters shoot down, in the end they will run out of fuel and crash on the way back.

The battle began to be one-sided, and the American planes desperately pursued the Japanese planes to shoot down as many enemies as possible.

Soon, the Japanese planes in the sky scattered and fled in all directions without forming a formation. Prior to this, at least 10 Japanese Zero fighters had been shot down and destroyed.

Just when Yamamoto was waiting for the report of the results of the greater loss, another unfortunate news appeared in front of him.

It happened just now, and Captain Nakamura spotted a group of American planes heading north! The radar on the battleship Mutsu once again accurately detected the invading enemy!

But this time, the numb Yamamoto and the desperate Nagumo couldn't think of any way to deal with this batch of planes......

"......" looked at the message in front of him, Nanyun Zhongyi was really dripping blood in his heart! He simply has no fighters left to intercept the opposing side, and now all that remains is the fleet's own anti-aircraft guns.
