Daniel Zhang suspected the purpose of the Japanese in setting up that position, but at that time the Japanese were entrenched behind the position, so Daniel Zhang mistakenly thought that the Japanese planned to wait until the landing force came ashore and then go to the front to block it.

After all, if you hit high and low, you can basically do without trenches, and the bullets below are still difficult to deal with the Japanese troops above, and the Japanese troops may have not dug trenches on the fortifications because of lack of time.

In addition, digging trenches may affect themselves, as we all know, the soil that is dug out will become very soft, such soil, too thin to block bullets at all, but too thick, it will greatly affect the Japanese army's firing range, which is also equivalent to indirectly helping the landing troops.

Therefore, the Japanese army did not dig trenches, probably because of lack of time, or because they were worried about affecting the firing range. But Daniel Zhang ignored the fact that the Japanese might have excavated the bunker and the trench.

Bunkers and trenches would be more complicated if they were excavated on flat ground, but the Japanese army's fortifications were piled up from the ground, so digging bunkers and trenches was not complicated at all, but reduced their amount of work, and all this was very possible.

At that time, the Japanese army hid behind the position, probably simply to avoid the shell attack of the naval guns, and the Japanese did not expect that the Chinese would have aviation, and the aviation did not expect that the Japanese would leave the trenches in order to avoid shells.

In addition, the concealment of the trenches is well done, so a variety of accidents are added together, allowing them to evade the reconnaissance of the aircraft. After that, although the naval guns also attacked the position, although the height of six meters was not low, but the distance of the naval guns was very far, even if it was good to be able to hit, the Japanese positions destroyed were also very limited.

As a result, many mistakes have created the current ending, and the Marines have suffered heavy losses, and it is even very likely that they will be completely wiped out by the Japanese army.

On a single level, this defeat may have been caused by the carelessness of the aviation, and if they had bombed the trenches in advance, the losses of the marines would not have been so heavy.

However, from the perspective of the overall situation, the responsibility this time cannot be counted only on the head of the air force, because this is the result of the underestimation of the landing operation by the entire army, and this problem does not only exist on them, it is estimated that all countries in the world do not have a thorough understanding of the landing operation, and even the Japanese estimate that it was made by mistake.

"The Japanese dug trenches on the front line and deceived the reconnaissance of the aircraft, commander, according to my estimates, the depth of the trenches cannot be too deep, there is even a great possibility that the top is just covered with wood, and then covered with mud to cover up, I don't think we need to use a hundred and fifty kilogram bomb, fifty kilogram bombs are enough to blow up their turtle shells." Although Daniel Zhang wants to admit his mistake, he also knows very well that this is not the time to admit his mistake, and the immediate priority should be to find a way to blow up the opponent's position.

No matter how bad it is, it is necessary to suppress the enemy's defensive firepower and provide the Marines with space to land and let them rush to their positions as soon as possible.

"Just use a 150-kilogram bomb, this time we must blow up all the little devils, and they will be in doubt until they die." Deng Haohong still said firmly that if he was not the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet, Deng Haohong would not even be able to personally command the warship to blow up the Japanese defense line.

At this moment, in the sky above the right side of the fleet, a black shadow gradually changed from far to near, and this scene also attracted everyone's attention, it was their reconnaissance plane, which was also the first time that the reconnaissance plane returned to report the situation.

However, immediately afterward, the picture that everyone was expecting did not appear, and what they wanted to see was that the reconnaissance plane turned around and flew away, because this indicated that there was no enemy within a hundred kilometers on the right.

But the next action of the reconnaissance plane made everyone nervous, and the reconnaissance plane made a gesture to request landing.

This is not the time when the reconnaissance plane landed, but according to the agreement, that is, the reconnaissance plane found very important information, and that information could no longer be conveyed by maneuvering in the air, and he had to land and personally convey this information to the commander.

Soon, the flight deck was emptied, and all the planes that had not had time to replace the 150-kilogram bombs were pushed to the side, making way for the reconnaissance planes to land.

A minute later, the reconnaissance plane came to a steady stop on the flight deck under the action of the tail hook.

Before the ground crew came to push the plane away, the pilot directly unbuckled his seat belt, jumped off the plane, and strode towards Deng Haohong's side, untying his goggles, scarves, masks and other items as he ran.

The ground crew on the side could only push the reconnaissance plane to the side alone to avoid affecting the take-off of the fighter plane behind for a long time.

"Report to the commander, in the southeast of our fleet, about one hundred and ten kilometers away, a large number of Japanese naval fleets have been discovered, with a total of more than 20 large and small ships, including four battleships, and the target direction is our transport fleet." The pilot reported in a hurry.

The reason why the Japanese Navy did not appear in the first place was because they were not sure where the landing place of the Chinese troops was? How big is the landing? How many convoys are there?

This series of uncertainties made the Japanese Navy dare not make any rash moves.

However, this did not mean that the Japanese Navy had given up on this operation, although Japan did not have a radio, but there was no shortage of cable telegraphs in the country, especially near military ports, between various barracks, and between cities had been laid.

When the Chinese landing force appeared in the sight of the Japanese in Akune, the Japanese troops there telegraphed the situation to the Kagoshima Military Port, where another beacon fire was lit, and the observation point at sea saw the signal, and then continued to light the beacon fire on the ship.

These beacons spread along the way, and before the first wave of landing troops departed, the news had already reached the Japanese naval fleet, which had already gone to sea in advance.

Although the place where they were lurking was more than 100 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier battle group, and more than 100 kilometers away from the landing fleet, and if all of them were warships, the maximum speed of the Japanese fleet was about 20 knots on average, correspondingly, an hour was 36 kilometers, and at most four hours, they would be able to reach the area where the landing fleet was located.

Even if the landing fleet discovers the traces of the Japanese Navy in advance, then the Japanese Navy will also have a geographical advantage, and no matter how the landing fleet escapes, it will not be possible to escape the pursuit of the Japanese Navy, and the average speed of the landing fleet is only less than 10 knots, and the position between the two is about 100 degrees.

The Japanese only need to move straight forward, and they can easily cut off the retreat of the fleet.

If the fleet were to the west, it would collide with the Japanese fleet at the location of the aircraft carrier battle group, and it would not be safe to go northwest, because according to intelligence, there was also a naval fleet near Sasebo in the north, and it was about the same size as them. At that time, under the attack of the two detachments, the landing fleet will have nowhere to escape.

"The Japanese have learned wisely this time, and they also know how to use the tactics of attacking the east and attacking the west." Deng Haohong smiled, although the situation was unfavorable for them, but it was in the absence of an aircraft carrier battle group, and now that there is an aircraft carrier battle group, are you still afraid of the Japanese birds?

Based on where the Japanese fleet is currently located, it will take them three to four hours to get over, and the speed of the planes will take less than an hour to make a round trip. Before the Japanese Navy arrived in the combat zone, the 1st Fighter-Bomber Group could carry out at least three rounds of attacks on this fleet.

And as the Japanese fleet advanced, the radius of attack of the aviation was getting closer and shorter, so it should be able to attack four wheels.

And then, if nothing else, the Japanese fleet in the north should have set off by now, and their purpose was naturally to sneak attack.

The southern fleet entangled the landing fleet's convoy, and then the northern fleet took the opportunity to sneak up and attack the troop carriers that did not have any attack power, this tactic was very good, and if there was no aviation, it was really possible for the Japanese to succeed.

"Send three formations with 150-kilogram bombs to support the front line, and the rest of the formations with 200-kilogram bombs to attack the Japanese navy in the south." In just a few minutes, Deng Haohong changed his combat order.

"Yes!"

For war, it's normal to change combat orders, and it's not as much as you think, provided that you get real information, and it's based on that information, and if it's the type of person who has nothing to do, it's not okay.

"Inform the forward formations of the situation so that they are ready, and we will intercept the enemy fleet as much as possible out of the attack range." Deng Haohong instructed the adjutant beside him again.

"Yes!"

For a while, the personnel of the ammunition depot on the aircraft carrier were busy again, but fortunately, not long after the order was issued, the 150-kilogram bombs that had just been moved out did not need to be moved back to the depot, and then the 200-kilogram ones could be directly moved.

A large number of heavyweight bombs were moved out of the warehouse, one by one the bombs were mounted under the belly, the soldiers on the foredeck of the aircraft carrier were busy spreading out the shrinking deck, and more than a dozen soldiers were urgently fastening safety slings on their bodies, and they needed to go below to reinforce the extended flight deck, otherwise it was very likely that they would not be able to bear the weight of the aircraft when it took off with heavyweight bombs.
