One of the biggest differences between the sneak attack on Sanduao and the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor is that China said that the intelligence infiltration work of the two countries was very strong, and if China wanted to carry out such a big sneak attack plan, it was impossible for China to be completely unaware, so the military headquarters drew up a large-scale cover-up plan, deliberately instigating the military and the local natives to fight in the colony of Elysium, and then formulated a large-scale military exercise plan, ostensibly to use the exercise plan to intimidate the local natives, but in fact to send the main fleet to the mainland in advance. Then quietly return to the East China Sea to carry out a sneak attack operation.

If China had drawn up a large-scale operational plan for taking advantage of the opportunity to counterattack against the surname, it would not have been completely impossible to perceive, so the Central Military Department had drawn up a simple and effective counterattack operational plan as much as possible, and only the generals of the bases knew it.

July 15 is the emperor's enthronement of the Chinese liberation commemoration said, August 1 is the founding of the founding of the people's Republic of China, these two days are the big festival of the national surname, although the army will not have a holiday, but there will be large-scale theatrical performances, the holiday is said to apply for a leave of absence, or go home to visit relatives of the officers and soldiers are also very large.

Sanduao Naval Base is the largest naval base in China, plus the local Marine Corps and naval aviation corps, the base has a total of about 87,300 permanent officers and soldiers.

Yan Houhua, commander of the Southern Fleet of the Navy at the base, is a native of Hunan and one of the few admirals of mainland nationality in the navy, and his brother Yan Houhua is a group of graduates of the Far Eastern Army, and at this time he served as the deputy chief of staff of the War Department in the Central General Staff, while he himself graduated from the Far East Coast Guard School, and then went to the US Navy non-commissioned officer school for further study, and served in the US Navy for a long time as an intern, and soon after returning to China, he participated in World War I, when he was the deputy captain of the third-class cruiser Haiyong.

Today, he is already a vice admiral, and among the more than 20 vice admirals in the navy, his status is second only to Chen Houfu and Chen Jiliang.

The Imperial Navy is not an air force, nor an army, it does not have as many admirals as the army, but there are also ten admirals such as Cheng Biguang, Sa Zhenbing, Song Wenhui, and Lin Baoduo, but they have all retired.

In this respect, the Reich and the Reich have very different traditions, and senior generals of the Wehrmacht are not allowed to participate in politics after retirement, they can receive a very generous pension, and the Imperial Inner Court will also distribute a more decent dividend from the Xinhua Company as a subsidy.

After the word "Xinhua" was banned, Xinhua merged with its subordinate German Zenson Company, moved its headquarters back to Hong Kong, and set up branches in the Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, and the United States, making this Zenchen Company the world's largest private military equipment sales company and a trust and investment company.

All in all, this company is very interesting, and now it is owned by the Inner Court, but it still takes out about 10 million yuan of money from it every year to subsidize senior retired officers.

It is precisely because there are no high-ranking generals in the political arena that the policy of separating the military from the government can be implemented for a long time, and this is a very big difference between the Chinese and the Chinese; although the Central Military Department does not like the cabinet to meddle in national defense work, it is also not interested in interfering in politics.

Yan Houhua was one of the few high-ranking generals who knew that the army might attack the base in the near future, and he was also responsible for formulating the counterattack plan codenamed "Shou Cicada," but he still abided by this plan and the instructions of the Central Military Department, and as in previous years, it was normal without any special changes, and allowed the base to approve short-term leave and family visits for more than 200 officers.

In order to confuse the army, this year's Southern Fleet naval base theatrical performances were also arranged in a particularly grand manner, at that time, Shanghai's most famous movie star and singer Zhou Xuan was also invited over, Zhou Xuan, a big star, is very special, because the emperor and the empress are very fond of her movies and songs, and invited her to the palace several times, and the Far East Film Company also twice specially invested heavily in making song and dance films for her.

There are rumors in China that the relationship between Zhou Xuan and the emperor is very special, and the queen does not have too many opinions on this matter.

The intelligence department also knew the news, so Zhou Xuan was invited by the Navy to perform at the Sanduao Naval Base this year, and the performance venue was the first Emperor-class high-speed battleship in service, which further proved that this year's Southern Fleet was very happy and defenseless.

Because all the plans can't be changed, Yan Houhua is also having a headache now, and he doesn't know when the Yue army will launch a surprise attack, if it happens to be the day of the performance, it will be called bad.

What's more, the Emperor-class high-speed battleship happened to be the focus of the sneak attack.

By April 1938, the empire's two emperor-class high-speed battleships had been put into service, and the emperor class and the Iowa class had a large difference in the maximum speed of 31 knots, and it was difficult to call it a high-speed battleship.

On the other hand, after the completion of the two Emperor-class high-speed battleships, the Ministry of National Defense suspended the construction of the remaining two Emperor-class battleships on the grounds that it had learned that the tonnage of the new battleships built by the Emperor was larger, and instead built the 75,000-tonnage Emperor-2 high-speed battleships with a higher tonnage than the Yamato-class battleships.

Of course, it's all nonsense, from 1937 to 1939, the Imperial Navy did not have a plan for the Emperor's 2-class high-speed battleships at all, and all the work was a perfect scam, forcing the latter two Yamato-class battleships to be built in a reckless manner. The radar and fire control radar systems of the Yuzhou-class battleships have been updated.

From battleships to cruisers, and even destroyers, the empire was the first to complete the modernization of radar and program-controlled improvements before 1939, and a new generation of program-controlled ballistic computers was in full service.

The popularization of ship computers has led the empire to use a large number of new designs such as automatic fire extinguishing, smoke elimination, drainage, and compartment in warships, which greatly reduces the need for shipboard personnel.

The total number of officers and men of a single Yamato-class battleship is 2,415, while the total number of officers and men of the 48,500-ton Emperor-class high-speed battleship, which barely belongs to the same class, is only 1,450, and the total number of officers and men of the American Iowa-class high-speed battleship is 1,851.

Yan Houhua knew very well that the center of gravity of the Navy was still on the battleships, and the focus of this raid would definitely be to give priority to eliminating the Emperor-class high-speed battleships serving in the Sanduao Port Area.

The request of the military department was to rather line up the battleships outside, but also do everything possible to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier, which made Yan Houhua very annoyed, because the Emperor class was the flagship of the Imperial Central Navy on behalf of the emperor, and if the high-speed battleship of the Emperor was sunk, he really had no face to go to see the emperor.

To make matters worse, at this time, he could hardly make any adjustments, and could only give a limited notice to the captains of the ships, asking them to be mentally prepared to withstand the temporary combat mission of being raided.

In the past few days, because of the arrival of the Golden Voice and the Central Navy Song and Dance Troupe, the whole fleet is full of high-pitched and enthusiastic joy, all the ships are full of colorful flags, and the ships are also freshly washed.

It is really difficult to say exactly when Ben will launch a sneak attack, but according to the analysis of intelligence data, it is speculated that it may be August 1 or July 31, which is roughly these two days.

During this period, it was not really clear which was better or worse between the aviation faction and the artillery faction, and this issue was not clarified until the end of the war, and Yamamoto Isoroku was a transitional figure between the aviation faction and the artillery faction, and he clearly supported the aviation faction, but did not oppose the artillery faction.

It's also complicated to say, the prime minister at this time actually changed from Konoe Fumitsu to Mitsumasa, a person who opposes the war, and the reason why he chose Mitsumasa Yonechi is the result of the fierce struggle within the warlord school, and the final conclusion is that he chose a candidate who will not pose a threat to all parties, and the other party is a naval admiral after all, and he will not let the navy completely get out of control.

Mitsumasa Yonechi became the prime minister under these circumstances, and it is conceivable that his support rate in his own country, among the aristocracy, the bureaucracy, and the military is very low, and he can't hold it out after just half a year in power, because he really can't stop the layers of oppression from Prince Zaihito and the army, and Mitsumasa Yonechi can only let go and let the navy decide the war.

Whether it is Mitsumasa Yonechi, or Yamamoto Isorochi, Nagumo Tadaichi, and Ozawa Jizaburo, these people do not support a war with China, Nagumo Tadaichi once visited the Northeast Naval Academy, and also took the opportunity to visit the shipyards in the Northeast with official arrangements and permissions, China's strong national strength has a great influence on Nagumo Tadaichi, Yamamoto Fifty-six also does not think that this war can be won, and Ozawa Jizaburo's point of view is because China's aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft are better.

Since 1937, when it was decided to secretly wage war against China, Yamamoto Isoroku has been in charge of secretly formulating a sneak attack plan, and according to the requirements of the military department, he must destroy the main force of the Chinese Navy's Southern Fleet in the first battle, and then use the battleship advantage of Yumoto to defeat the remaining main battleship of the Chinese Navy on Jeju Island or in the waters of Taiwan.

To this end, he conducted a number of simulated exercises over the past two years, and under the leadership of Rear Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa, he sank two old battleship target ships in one fell swoop with aviation and improved low-altitude torpedoes.

It was only in order to achieve the plan of covert operations, Yamamoto 56 still decided to use Nagumo Tadaichi, Nagumo Tadaichi is not only an expert in torpedo warfare, but also the most famous navigation expert in the Yamamoto Navy, because most of the voyages need to be at night, and being able to reach the designated sea area secretly and silently is the key to this operation, so Mitsumasa Yonechi and Yamamoto 56 still chose Nagumo Tadaichi after discussion.

At that time, although there was a dispute between the aviation faction and the artillery faction, the aircraft carrier as a whole was still regarded as a sharp weapon, more like a torpedo and artillery dispute, and many of its aviation generals were torpedo warfare experts, not naval aviation.

In this regard, the Chinese Navy is completely different, because during the First World War and the Sino-Soviet War, more than 30,000 pilots were trained, and many of these pilots were transferred to the Naval Academy for further study in the later period, and after graduation, they were re-transferred to serve in the Naval Air Force.

Although Yan Houhua was not from the naval aviation department, the four aircraft carrier captains under his command were all officers of the naval aviation faction, and all of them had air force combat experience in World War I.

It is against this background that the Third Sino-Japanese War will break out again, and like the Sino-Japanese War, the core of this war is also naval warfare.

Because the order of the military headquarters was that everything would be business as usual, even if the navy suffered heavy losses, the main force of the navy should be lured to the combat area, and the performances of the Golden Voice and the Central Naval Song and Dance Troupe should continue to maintain the original arrangement, which made the battleship Emperor have to be arranged on the inner side closest to the port, and the performance stage on it was also newly decorated.

There is a very good regulation on the side of the naval aviation unit, that is, during the period when the aircraft carrier is in port, 10-20 carrier-based fighters must be maintained on the deck of the aircraft carrier, and they can only maintain 1/3 of the fuel and 1/2 of the ammunition configuration, because the aircraft carrier cannot travel at high speed, and it is completely impossible for the carrier-based aircraft to take off at full load.

It is already very difficult for the aircraft carrier to be able to maintain half of the fuel to take off, and the bomber certainly does not have the ability to take off, and during the period when all aircraft carriers are in port, bombers and light patrol aircraft cannot be parked on the deck to occupy a place, but can only be parked inside the hangar.

Such a provision is precisely to prevent a sudden attack, in fact, the Imperial Navy aircraft carriers usually keep only about 12 carrier-based aircraft on deck during the port stop, kept on alert for take-off at any time, and the rest of the aircraft are in the hangar.

This rule was not temporary, nor was it a one-year period, but it has been in place since 1928.

During this period, if no adjustments were made, the advantage was that even if they were attacked by the Chinese army, the navy could take off about 40 fighters on the three aircraft carriers docked in the harbor, and the navy was very clear about this rule, and the 40 fighters were also counted, and the first wave of attack aircraft was bound to be dominated by fighters.

The disadvantage is that a large number of carrier-based aircraft in the navy are unable to play an effective role, and they can basically only rely on the protection of the air force, and even if this battle is won, the credit will definitely belong to the air force.

Even if the Luoyuan Bay and Sanduao Naval Air Forces are added, Yan Houhua can only send 140 fighters to meet the battle, and the rest depends on the face of the Air Force.

Naval aviation regiments are generally based on patrol planes and bombers, and the number of land-based fighters is not large, and these 140 fighters are the limit of what Yan Houhua, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Fleet, can deploy in the surrounding naval aviation bases.

The performance stage on the high-speed battleship of the Emperor has been decorated, and this is also the location of Yan Houhua's office, reporting the loyalty of the ship's people and the death of the ship, he has long been determined not to leave the battleship, even if it is sunk by the army, he will never leave.

While the officers and men of the naval base were excitedly waiting for tomorrow's song and dance performance, Yan Houhua stayed awake in his general command room, because at that time, it was considered that the emperor would take this flagship of the Chinese Imperial Navy to visit various countries and work on the ship, this general command room has excellent decoration, and the materials and craftsmen are also specially supplied by the imperial family's imperial suppliers.

Not only that, but the high-speed battleship USS Emperor was identified as an Imperial command ship from the very beginning, and it had the strongest radar and computer command center to date.

Yan Houhua hadn't slept all the time, and he didn't know when he would be able to wait for the news of the discovery of the Yue Army's fleet.

Because war could break out in this sea area at any time, Yan Houhua could not call others to the general command room at this time to discuss things, and the only people who could accompany him to wait for news were Jiang Yu, the chief of staff of the Southern Fleet, and Lu Liepei, the chief of instruction.

Chief of Staff Jiang Yu was also a bomber captain during World War I, but he also served in the Navy for 15 years, and among the three, he was the youngest and the least qualified, and was only a graduate of the fourth phase of the Xi'an Aviation Non-commissioned Officer School.

In the Navy, the youngest chief of staff of the Southern Fleet was recognized as an expert in the study of aircraft carrier tactics, and he pointed out through tactical research many important improvements required in the design of the Northeast-class aircraft carriers, and he wrote two of the three most famous theoretical works on aircraft carrier strategy and tactics in the Empire.

With such a low level of qualifications, he is still not from the Northeast and Central departments, and being able to become a rear admiral at such an age and serve as the chief of staff of the Southern Fleet is indeed very rare, but it also proves that his talent is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

Jiang Yu also has a very important contribution, that is, he converted a number of large submarines that were originally judged to be worthless by the navy into patrol submarines, and although this kind of submarine does not have much role and value in peacetime, it is patrolling and guarding the sea area between China and China during this period of time, because although these large submarines are easy to be found during the day, the navigation noise is loud and the diving time is short, and the combat is not flexible, can be equipped with a more powerful warning radar.

The six large submarines, numbered B011-001 to 006, also had a displacement of nearly 3,000 tons at the baseline, and after a lot of testing and simulation exercises, it was finally found that this kind of large submarine was not suitable for actual combat at present, because it was too easy to detect, and the high-power V-type diesel engine matched to increase the range also had an unimproved fuel pump problem, resulting in its noise problem being difficult to solve.

Although there was serious noise in submarines at that time, the noise of such large submarines was really not a generally tolerable situation, and when the Navy decided to abandon the development and service of large submarines, the emergence of radar saved such large submarines.

After the improvement, large submarines of this class began to be equipped with more powerful radars, and when they detected their opponents, they would dive underwater in advance, and usually stay 3-10 meters underwater at night to avoid the opponent's warning radar while hiding under the sea water to detect and track the opponent.

In the world of aircraft carrier-centrism, such submarines are also required to arrive at the sea in advance, use high-power warning radar to detect the opponent first under the premise that the opponent cannot be detected, and inform the aircraft carrier in the distance through radio.

Time slipped by by second.

Teaching Chief Lu Liepei went out to inspect the situation of the troops, and did not return to the general command room until more than 11 o'clock at night, Jiang Yu has been sitting silently in front of the map and smoking, the ashtray is stuffed with cigarette butts, Yan Houhua is pacing around in the general command room, and there are only some staff officers who do not know much about it, and they are also looking through the data and checking some paperwork, and some are still waiting for tomorrow's National Day holiday.

…… It is located 120 nautical miles directly north of Kume Island.

About 20 nautical miles away, a patrol submarine B011-003 lurks in the trench area, trying to lock on to the fleet through alert radar, ascertaining their data and checking it against the projected navy.

Everything fits perfectly.

About half an hour later, the No. 004 patrol submarine, which cooperated with B011-003 in the waters of Wenzhou, also discovered the radar wave signal of this fleet, and the two submarines cooperated with each other to collect as much radar information as possible from each other, and at this time, the Central Navy and the Central Navy Southern Fleet Command both received telegrams.

At about the same time, or about 10 minutes after the Navy received the wireless telegraphy, the Central Ministry of Defense and the Air Force Command also received telegrams one after another, and only after confirming that it was correct did the General Staff of the Inner Court General Administration.

That night, Shu Fangde and Xu Wei, director of the General Staff Bureau of the Inner Court, did not sleep all night.

Now only the Navy thinks that everything is normal, only they think that everything is like this.

They had bypassed the radar stations in Taipei and the Diaoyu Islands, maintaining a security line of about 40 kilometers, but at this distance, even without large patrol aircraft, the Empire still had other ways to detect them.

The alert radar cannot be detected by the adversary.

It is true that the navy has not found that the meter-wave radar of the two submarines has been tracking them for a long time.

In the best area of operation, another large submarine B011-006, which had been transferred from the Hong Kong naval base, was waiting there, and in order to reconnoiter the movements of the navy, the empire had deployed six patrol submarines that could be called between the central and western ocean areas, and the 005 was transferred back from the Indian Ocean naval base.

The sky gradually began to glow.

At about 5 o'clock in the morning, Nagumo Tadaichi led his First Air Combined Fleet finally arrived at the designated combat area, and at a distance of about 185 nautical miles from the Sanduao Naval Base, the five aircraft carriers that could have been deployed were gathered here, and all the aircraft carrier decks were extremely busy, the engines of the fighters were started one after another, and the propellers made a tearing whistling roar in the sea breeze before dawn.

Yamamoto Isoroku was a clever gambler, although the navy did not regard aircraft carriers as the most valuable asset of the Imperial Navy, and was reluctant to send battleships and more ships to escort the ship, and some people even said that the more fleets, the higher the probability of being discovered.

Yamamoto Fifty-six doesn't think so.

He felt that if it could be discovered, four would be discovered, and forty would also be discovered, but if it could not be discovered, four would not be discovered, and forty would not be discovered either, and once the attack did not go well, they would also need more fleets to cover the retreat, and he was very bold and heroic to form a huge First Air Combined Fleet with five aircraft carriers, three battleships and six cruisers, and four destroyers, responsible for this sneak attack on the Sanduao naval base.

He almost gambled that if China's radar technology did not make a breakthrough, if China's intelligence network in Yuben was a little smaller.

Under the command, 73 96 warships and 14 zeros took off from the decks of five aircraft carriers one after another, followed by 114 97 warships, and the huge group of planes flew in the predetermined direction, black and oppressive like a hell crow in the sky that showed death.

In the dawn of the sun, they leave a dark shadow before they pass over the sea.

Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi looked into the distance from the bridge of the command ship, and through his binoculars, he watched the roaring group of fighters, his heart full of hope, but also buried fear and deep worry, he put down the binoculars, and solemnly saluted the warriors who had gone away in silence and without response.

His heart can shine on the moon.

A soldier's vocation is war.

Knowing that this war is very likely to be defeated, but he is loyal to the emperor and the empire, his heart is so pure and clear, as if it is the water by the sea, and he can see the sand clearly, he is willing to sacrifice everything for the empire and the emperor, and is willing to turn into a cloud on the sakagami.

Underneath his generous appearance, under the uniform of a white admiral, there is always the heart of loyalty at this moment.

He never liked the madness of the fascists, he was just a soldier who pursued victory, a general who was willing to shed every drop of blood for the future of the Yamato nation.

It's just that he made two mistakes.

In the era of aircraft carriers, the most taboo thing about aircraft carriers was submarines, aircraft carriers were a great mobile combat force, and submarines could always ambush in the depths of the ocean to find the figure of aircraft carriers.

His first mistake was not to exhaust all efforts to anti-submarine, but this was not to blame, because when sailing in the long dark night, he did not have any patrol aircraft capable of detecting submarines at night, but he still misestimated the radar capabilities of his opponent, so much so that he believed until this moment that his fleet was impossible to detect.

His second mistake was not to strengthen the monitoring of radio waves.

From the discovery of the First Aircraft Carrier Combined Fleet to the launch of the first wave of attacks, the two large patrol and alert submarines responsible for tracking and detecting the Fleet sent out only four wireless telegrams.

If the First Carrier Combined Fleet had been cautious and had speculated that a submarine had spotted them, they might have been more cautious.

History has no ifs.

The military likewise has no ifs.

At the same time as the carrier-based aircraft group took off, at the Changle Military Airport in Fuzhou, more than 70 J-4 lightning fighters took off, this kind of fighter that did not have the chance to become a carrier-based aircraft because the early design weight was too high, and it has an absolute trump card status in the army, and has undergone many modifications and replacements since its service in 1933, and the J-4D is installed at the Fuzhou Changle Military Airport.

In terms of the comparison of absolute parameters, the J-4 lightning fighter does not have an absolute advantage over the 96 ship attack of the day, but in the battle, the special surname of the pilot, the stability of the aircraft, and the overall surname will play a very important role, and the absolute difference in power between the two sides is a generational difference.

Even if it is a fighter of the same generation, carrier-based aircraft always suffer more in the face of land-based fighters.

The Sanduao Naval Base is not Pearl Harbor, but it is the essence of the Chinese Navy, and there are as many as three divisions of the air force responsible for assisting in the defense, and the J-5 Tiger Shark fighters will be dispatched to the Jiaxing Air Base at the farthest point, which will strike at the aircraft carrier group together with the J-4 Lightning fighters and G3E dive torpedo bombers at the Fuzhou Air Base.

It was a naval battle, and a much more pure air battle.

The radar station at the Sanduao Naval Base had already detected the fleet group in the city, and a large number of carrier-based aircraft rushed over like an overwhelming force, and at the Sanduao Naval Base, about 110 J-3\303 carrier-based fighters flew into the sky in the shortest possible time, and all the ships guarding the naval base set sail one after another, and the aircraft carrier Heilongjiang, which was lined up on the outermost side, first left the port under the protection of two escort cruisers.

In Fuzhou Port, the training ship of the Fuzhou Carrier Shipmaster, which is often used for training, also began to leave the port, and the trainees of the training ship were also allowed to fly fighter planes to participate in the battle; at this time, it was impossible for the combined fleet of the aircraft carrier to escape, the naval base had already sounded its siren, and all the fighters were flying in the sky that belonged to them.

When they fly in the sky, they have life.

They have their own names and their own experiences, like the legend of silent metal flying in the sky of war.

If the Taipei Air Base and Jiaxing Air Base are counted, the Imperial Air Force has four air divisions that can counterattack the Combined Fleet, three of which are ace air divisions with the ability to fight against ships, especially the three air divisions in Jiaxing, Fuzhou, and Taipei are equipped with J-5 Tiger Shark fighters. This fighter-bomber has excellent anti-ship capabilities, and has good combat and dive capabilities, although it is a heavy fighter, and its combat ability to drop low-altitude torpedoes is relatively low, but it is definitely at the world's leading level in diving-air-dropped heavy bombs, and Taipei and Fuzhou air bases are equipped with G3E torpedo bombers at the same time.

Yamamoto chose the best area of operation as best he could, trying to avoid the strongest of them, the Jiaxing Air Base, and pinning his hopes on the slow reaction of the Chinese Air Force, destroying as many warships as possible before the Air Force could dispatch, and then returning to use the Air Force stationed in Okinawa to assist in the defense operation.

In Yamamoto's plan, even in the most successful scenario, at least half of the carrier-based aircraft would not be able to return, but if this could sink 3-4 battleships and more than 2 aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy, the operation would have been a success.

The result may have been a complete disappointment for him.

The Imperial Air Force counterattacked and defended the Sanduao Naval Base at an extremely fast speed, and the two sides quickly made contact in the sky 30 kilometers east of Xibei Island, and the 223 fighters of the two air divisions and the naval air force attacked 73 96 warships, 14 Zero Battles, and 114 97 Naval Battles on three sides, although they were completely inferior in number to the Yuben fighters, but with the rapid rolling combat effectiveness of the J-4B\C\D series of lightning fighters, and the supplementary assistance of the J-3\303 carrier-based aircraft, The two sides rolled between the clouds of dawn and above the sea.

This was the first large-scale aircraft carrier operation in human history, but in fact it was more like the first air battle between China and China, and its scale was far inferior to the Sino-Soviet air war 17 years ago, although the Soviet Union at that time lacked fighters and pilots, but after all, there were nearly 1,000 old aircraft.

This time, the fighters on both sides belonged to a higher level, especially the elite of the Imperial Air Force, the speed and rolling of the J-4 Lightning fighter, as well as the special surname of the strong pull, which dwarfed the battle of the 96 ships, but only 14 Zero Combat or the pilots of the Imperial Air Force were a little surprised, and their excellent climb rate caught many people off guard.

The problem with the Zero War is that the number is still too small, and 14 aircraft were urgently produced to participate in this air battle as soon as it entered service, and its disadvantage is that the engine can be far inferior to the J-4 Lightning fighter, but it has a sharper wing aerodynamic design and a lighter fuselage.

It's just that the engine of the J-4 Lightning fighter ensures that the main force of the Imperial Air Force has a more balanced surname, under the premise that the surname can be roughly equivalent, the "Lightning" has a considerable range and better and more comprehensive protection, has a more stable flight efficiency and envelope, higher cannon firepower, and faster speed, and the stable surname of the rollover makes the ace pilots who fly the J-4 Lightning fighter dare to show off a variety of fighting moves, and dodge the opponent with a high-load roll, which depends on the high strength of the J-4 in the wing load design. This allows the fighter to roll on its side in a situation where the flank stall is differential, and in the case of high loads.

In the Second World War, such a surname was relatively rare, you must know that at the beginning of World War II, many Soviet aircraft still used wooden wings, which was completely impossible to withstand such a large load pressure.

This was the first collision of the J-4 and the Zero.

The J-3 Panther and J-303 Sea Serpent fighters equipped with D-series engines are very similar to the Zero War, both are carrier-based aircraft, and they are also enhanced by better aerodynamic mechanisms, with instantaneous hovering, climb rate and growth rate.

In particular, the improved J-303 Sea Serpent fighter, using the already mature aviation turbocharging technology, has a stronger climb rate than the J-3 and the Zero Combat using mechanical supercharging, and is more sensitive than the Zero Battle.

The combination of light and heavy of the two fighters and the difference in surnames made the pilots of the Naval Air Force suffer a very difficult challenge.

The pilots of both sides are elite after years of training, which is destined to be the most wonderful air battle in Asia, but soon, with the arrival of 48 J-4D fighters of the 220th Air Division in Taipei and 14 J-3 training fighters in the Fuzhou Defense Area, the strength of the two sides quickly widened the gap.

The whole sky seemed to be flying extremely fast, constantly pulling away from the opponents, drawing the opponent out of the dense area, the warplanes were scattering more and more, and the fighters were falling into the endless sea, black smoke and flames burning the lifeforms of these metals, telling the legend with death and destruction.

The defeat of the naval air force was a foregone conclusion.

They didn't leave, the national fortune of the empire is at this moment, they must not retreat, they all come with the determination to die, although they did not think that it would be such a situation, but they cannot retreat no matter what, even if they retreat, they will lose their home in this sea.

The two sides were constantly entangled in the air, but the ensuing reinforcements of the Imperial Air Force were also increasing, and after more than half of the fighters of the Air Force were shot down, the fighter group of the Air Force was completely scattered, and they were constantly facing the situation of multiple attacks, and each fleet had been dispersed, and it was completely impossible to cooperate effectively.

Battle of the Elites.

Quantity and quality determine the outcome of everything.

At this moment, at the strong suggestion of Chief of Staff Jiang Yu, Yan Houhua, commander of the Southern Fleet, ordered the first and second aircraft carrier formations of the Navy's Southern Fleet to form a mixed fleet to attack, and the four aircraft carriers left the military port under the escort of more than 22 warships.

This is a typical rash battle, very dangerous, but it can allow the Navy aircraft carrier fleet group to open a high speed in the surrounding waters, allowing more carrier-based aircraft to fly out to pursue the opponent, along the reverse wind speed, the fleet to the northeast to meet the opponent's fleet, the flagship Emperor battleship was pushed on the easternmost side of the fleet, and the four aircraft carriers moved forward at high speed side by side.

After the horsepower was pushed to the limit, more carrier-based aircraft took off.

At 8:35 a.m., the navy had not lost a single warship, but before 10 a.m., they would not have any support forces, and the 96 land attack stationed in Okinawa could only come to meet at about 10 o'clock at the earliest, but to ensure the safety of the entire ship, they would need a long voyage of up to five hours before they could get beyond the strike range of the Taipei air base.

Perhaps, in just 2 hours, they will be completely wiped out.

Because their coordinates had been completely exposed, the Navy's large patrol planes had already traced their whereabouts more clearly, and after confirming that the coordinates were exposed, the Navy's First Air Combined Fleet quickly retreated eastward.
