In the evening, the Tang Army's aircraft carrier battle group A, centered on the two aircraft carriers of the Zhiguo Tianwang and the Growth Tianwang, entered the sea area 400 kilometers southeast of Guam.

Upon learning of the news that the Japanese battleship formation had docked on Saipan Island for replenishment, Zhang Meng immediately summoned the relevant commanders of the two aircraft carriers of Team A to deploy combat operations.

That night, the two aircraft carriers of the Tang Army quickly headed in the direction of Saipan, but for the sake of caution, they were worried about being attacked by Japanese submarines at night, after all, there were Japanese submarine docking stations on Saipan, and the two aircraft carriers of the Tang Army bypassed Guam and passed through the West Sea of Agania to reach the sea area 200 kilometers northwest of Saipan.

The Japanese supply base on Saipan was located southeast of Saipan, and a Tilmani mountain range separated the Tang and Japanese armies.

That night, the officers and men of Tang and Japan did not fall asleep, and even if they were lying down, they only closed their eyes, thinking about the fierce battle that might break out at any time.

For the Japanese sailors of the battleship detachment, although they were convinced that their supercrossbow-class battleships could not be sunk by Tang bombers, the sinking of the aircraft carriers Kaga and Akagi still caused them considerable concern, after all, they were battleship-converted aircraft carriers.

The Japanese sailors were too frightened to sleep, but the Tang aircraft carrier pilots were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

"Hey, how many bombs did you hit?"

"Hit the Kaga, what about you?"

"It's already two! Last time I hit Myoko on the ground flight, I hit Akagi the day before yesterday. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that my hands shook a little and I pressed the bomb button in advance. Otherwise, my two bombs would have sunk the Akagi. ”

"Brothers, have you heard about it, the Japanese battleship detachment is on Saipan, and we will definitely have to move at dawn tomorrow!"

"Needless to say? We've been chasing all the way. How can you do it without blowing up the flagship of the little devil of the Sinking Dog Day? ”

"I heard that battleships can only be sunk by battleships, are our missiles good?"

"What's not to do? Ours is a 500-kilogram bomb, which is as heavy as a battleship's 305 mm main gun shell! ”

"Pull it down, it's much more powerful than the 305 naval gun. You must know that the warhead of the 305 naval gun is only 300 kilograms, and the rest of the guns are propellants. Our aerial bombs do not need propellants, 500 kilograms are real warheads, and 356 mm naval artillery shells are on top. ”

"Oh. Our Hellfire carries two bombs, which is equivalent to two 356 mm cannons, which is against the sky! ”

"Not necessarily! After all, the Japanese battleship Nagato had a 406 mm main gun, according to the standards of battleships. The armor of the battleship Nagato should have been able to withstand the attack of 406 mm main gun shells! Our bombs are a little close! ”

"Go, go, go, don't mislead the army. Let me tell you, it is true that the battleship itself can withstand the attack of the enemy's main guns of the same caliber no matter how large the main guns are. But only if there is a certain distance limit. Let's talk about the battleship Nagato in little Japan. It was the main gun of the 406, and its armor could theoretically block a direct hit from a 406 shell at a distance of 20 km. But within 20 km, let's say 10 km, its armor still can't block the direct fire of 406 shells. In other words, 356-mm shells broke through the Nagato's defenses at a distance of 10 km. ”

"I see, then our bombs are dropped within a kilometer, and even a battleship with 500 mm armor can't stop it."

"Mind me...... There are a lot of complex kinetic energy calculations involved......"

"He's just a bottle of goods that is less than half a bottle dangling, so you don't have to think about it so complicatedly. Everyone just needs to remember that our aerial bombs can completely break through the armored defenses of the little devil battleship. As long as we drop the bomb on the little devil's battleship accurately, it doesn't matter where it is. It must be a flowering like a watermelon. Do you understand what it means to step on watermelon? ”

"Understood!"

"It's good to understand, sleep the fuck right away, tomorrow will be a fierce battle, if you don't get enough sleep, be careful that you will die suddenly when you fly!"

"What is sudden death?"

", go to bed!"

……

Everyone knows that pilots have to get enough sleep, but they are still so excited that it takes a long time for them to fall asleep.

Just as they felt like they had just fallen asleep, the battle sirens sounded.

"Everyone's attention, the ship is now preparing for sailing, launch an attack before dawn, repeat, this is not an exercise."

It was not yet dawn, but the Don army had already begun to prepare, and they did not want to give the Japanese army any chance.

"Attack before dawn!"

This was Zhang Meng's order, and each ship conveyed it word for word.

Two consecutive victories were one-sided victories, and for the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, everyone's confidence was skyrocketing.

"Victory! Win! ”

After listening to the commander's pre-war mobilization speech, the pilots of the Tang Army shouted in unison, and one by one they rushed to their fighters as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the ground crews had already completed the tasks of refueling and hanging bombs, and all the fighters could take off directly.

On the flight deck, when the red and green flags were lowered at the same time, a Raptor heavy carrier-based fighter suddenly accelerated, like a sharp arrow, and flew into the sky after taxiing more than 100 meters past the deck.

Immediately afterwards, one after another Raptor warships took off one after another, forming a huge diamond-shaped formation over the aircraft carrier.

Fifteen minutes later, after a Zuihou Hellfire heavy carrier-based bomber ejected and took off, 108 Raptors and 72 Hellfires completed their formation in the air and swooped down on the Japanese battleship detachment in Raurau Bay, Saipan.

In view of the lessons learned from the last time when they lost the Japanese fleet, this time the submarines and water reconnaissance planes of the Tang Army did not relax at night and resisted the Japanese fleet in Laolao Bay to the death. Seaplanes were taken from each light cruiser of the aircraft carrier battle group of the Don Army, each of which was equipped with two seaplanes.

The Japanese army was also ready for battle, and at dawn the acting commander of the Japanese army, Rear Admiral Shinozuka, had already ordered all ships of the Japanese battleship detachment to be ready for battle.

"The water depth of Laolao Bay is relatively shallow, and the torpedoes of the Tang Army cannot play any role at all, because once they are dropped, they will directly plunge into the underwater mud and will not be able to float at all."

Shinozuka was conceited, and he did have his ability, and after reading the water pattern data in Laolao Bay, he immediately judged that the Tang Army's torpedoes could not play a role in Laolao Bay.

The bay of Laolao was very wide, and the Japanese fleet could maneuver in the bay, and there was no need to worry about the torpedo attacks of the Tang army, and it could resist the dive bombing of the Tang army with all its might.

"Put all the heavy machine guns on the rear command bridge, which is our air defense blind spot, and if the enemy planes dare to dive down from there, they will definitely pay a heavy price!"

"General Yingming, no wonder you dare to stay and resupply, with your arrangement, we believe that the enemy aircraft will inevitably suffer a big loss."

Shinozuka snorted coldly and said: "After all, the Tang Army has only been established for three years, and the art of war is broad and profound, but it is not something that can be used freely in a few years, otherwise all Shijie are famous generals, what kind of battle are they fighting?" They only rely on the advanced equipment to temporarily surpass us, and they still rely on people to fight the war, and equipment is only secondary. ”

"The general is wise!"

A group of Japanese officers benefited a lot and admired Shinozuka.

"It's an enemy plane! They're coming! ”

Looking at the white belly of the fish in the sky, a small black dot gradually emerged, and Shinozuka suddenly showed a sneer. (To be continued......)
