(There are still two changes a day during the holidays, or one change is more than 4,000 words.) I asked for favorites, and I clicked on the recommendation. )

From the discovery of the submarine to the present, an hour has passed. The current situation is that the main team of the Maritime Resistance Army, the Pacific Ocean, is still more than 100 kilometers away from the entrance to the Gulf of Aden. And the Japanese aircraft carrier was 150 kilometers southeast of the Pacific. The main fleet of Japanese battleships was one hundred and fifty kilometers southwest of the Pacific.

The situation on the battlefield was that the Naval Resistance Army only knew that the Japanese army had aircraft carriers, submarines, and seaplanes, but they did not know the location of either the aircraft carrier or the battleship formation. However, the Japanese army not only knew the main team of the Naval Resistance Army, but also knew the traces of Baxia and Pixiu. It's just that the PC number was not found, and it is not known that the Naval Resistance Forces have fighters and bombers in Yemen.

The military strength of the Naval Resistance Army is far inferior to that of the Japanese Army, and the battlefield situation is also extremely unfavorable to the Naval Resistance Army.

The main teams of the two armies were one hundred and fifty kilometers away at this time, and Kurita was well aware of the performance of this battleship, which originally belonged to Chile. The Chileans, who were originally fooled by little devils, fought with the Naval Resistance Army and were captured by the Naval Resistance Army.

The Japanese staff officers were not bad, and they soon came to the results on the charts that, according to the current course, the route of the two armies was at an angle of 45 degrees, and the Pacific could be intercepted in four hours.

Kurita Keno was not at all at ease with the combat effectiveness of his own aircraft carriers, and he did not pin his hopes of victory on aircraft carriers at all.

He soon sent a heavy cruiser and two destroyers to quickly intersperse to stop the Pacific from continuing its advance towards the Gulf of Aden. You must know that the Japanese heavy cruisers and destroyers were both at a speed of more than 35 knots, while the Pacific of the Naval Resistance Army was only at a speed of 22 knots, and it took less than three hours for the two armies to enter the range of the engagement. More critically, the main forces of the Navy and Air Force will have a hard time escaping into the Gulf of Aden.

Kurita Keno thinks that his arrangement is absolutely foolproof, and he can't help but be proud. Li Guang had a different mentality, and he was anxiously waiting for news from the water reconnaissance plane.

Previously, Li Guang had a miscalculation that the Japanese fleet's water reconnaissance planes did not take off from the seaplane carrier, but from the battleship Hiei.

The little devil originally had seven or eight seaplane carriers, but unfortunately, these seaplane carriers were generally used by the Japanese for reconnaissance or escort missions, but the anti-Japanese army at sea liked to sneak attack escort formations.

In the history of the anti-Japanese war in the Navy, several seaplane carriers have been killed, and one has been severely damaged.

The Maritime Resistance Army is in absolute weakness, but the little devils are not without loopholes. Keno Kurita of the giant ship artillery faction does not pay attention to aircraft carriers at all, in his opinion, it is enough to have a water reconnaissance plane responsible for finding the opponent, as long as the opponent is found, under the giant cannon of the battleship, the victory can be established.

Therefore, a valuable aircraft carrier, little Japan only sent two destroyers to escort it.

The Japanese army followed the fleet this time with Japan's first aircraft carrier, the Hosho. This is only a small aircraft carrier, which usually belongs to the Japanese First Fleet. The Fengxiang is not large, with a basic displacement of only more than 7,000 tons, and a full load displacement of just over 10,000 tons. It's a lot smaller than the PC number. The performance is not very good, and the top speed is only twenty-five knots. But an aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier, and it is definitely not comparable to the combat effectiveness of a seaplane carrier like the PC. The total number of carrier-based aircraft of this aircraft carrier is twenty-six, of which six are Type 96 carrier-based fighters, twelve Type 99 carrier-based crit aircraft (bombers), and eight Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft (torpedo planes). There are also five aircraft in reserve.

Where is the position of the aircraft carrier Fengxiang? In fact, it is not far from the location where the submarine was discovered by the Maritime Resistance Forces, only a few tens of kilometers.

The captain of the Fengxiang, Yamaguchi Daisa, was not lightly deflated by Keno Kurita, how could there be a battle in which the aircraft carrier was put on the front as a bait. Although Kurita Keno didn't say it explicitly, the battlefield layout was clear, everyone had gone to a military school, and everyone could see it.

But before the war, Kurita Keno's words were even more annoying. He said: As soon as the opponent's fleet is discovered, the aircraft carrier can retreat. The meaning of the words is one, the aircraft carrier sneak attack or useful, normal naval warfare is the role of reconnaissance, can be used as bait, that is to look up to you.

Just now, Yama Prefecture was ridiculed by Kurita Keno, six fighters were shot down by the Naval Resistance Force, and they were not able to sink even a single destroyer. It is not possible to count on the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers.

Yama Prefecture Dazuo is so angry, this Kurita Keno is really out of tune. How could I send bombers on reconnaissance missions? Torpedo machine? The fighter itself is not fighting against ships.

In this way, the Japanese aircraft carrier Hosho was left aside. Kurita Keno made a joke after giving the order: Stay there. Wait until I pack up the Maritime Resistance Army and return together.

In this way, an aircraft carrier was taken by Kurita Keno himself from combat effectiveness, and the most critical point was not to exclude this aircraft carrier from the battle sequence, but to let the aircraft carrier stay in place, which was Kurita's biggest mistake.

However, Yamaguchi Osa is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and if the fleet commander is Vice Admiral Nobutake Kondo, he may still obey orders, but he is not so convinced by Keno Kurita, who has just been promoted to rear admiral. Yama County Dazuo severely reprimanded the fighter pilot, it was too embarrassing, the six planes did not even hit a single bomb, not to mention whether the 60-kilogram bomb of the Type 96 carrier-based fighter was useless, but it was a great shame to miss the target.

Yama Prefecture Osa has his own methods, Kurita Keno did not stipulate the scale of reconnaissance of fighter planes, I can always reconnoiter carefully.

However, his reconnaissance movement was a bit big, and he dispatched all 26 fighters at once, and strictly ordered that the two destroyers of the Maritime Resistance Army that had been discovered must be killed.

However, it was already a little late, you must know that the distance between the aircraft carrier and the Baxia Jianwei was originally 100 kilometers, and it was delayed by Kurita Keno's order for half an hour, plus half an hour before the fighter returned home. The two warships Baxia and Jairian were already one hundred and sixty kilometers away from the Fengxiang aircraft carrier at this time.

It will also take time to pursue, and if you add another half an hour, the fighter will have to chase 200 kilometers.

Anyway, Yama County Dazuo doesn't care about this distance, two hundred kilometers is two hundred kilometers, and it is nothing for fighters and bombers. That's a matter of forty minutes.

But what will happen in these forty minutes, Yama County Dazuo doesn't know.

Seventy minutes to be exact, because the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army had already taken off thirty minutes earlier.

Since it only takes one hour and 40 minutes for the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army to reach the 1317 sea area where the submarine was discovered, now that the fleet has returned to sail, the range of the fighters has actually been shortened, and in fact, it only takes one hour for the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army to reach the airspace above the fleet of the Navy and Air Force.

If all the conditions were on the table, any staff officer could calculate the final result, and the air force of the Naval Resistance Army would be ten minutes ahead of the Japanese air force.

Li Guang's earliest judgment delayed the preparation time of the Naval Resistance Army by half an hour. However, the internal problems of the Japanese army bought the naval resistance army ten minutes of precious time.

However, for Li Guang, he knew nothing about this. And they are anxiously waiting for news from the water reconnaissance plane.

5:20 p.m.

The group of fighters of the Naval Resistance Army was less than 200 kilometers above the fleet.

The fighters are about to arrive, and the security of the fleet is guaranteed to a certain extent, but the distance to victory is not closer, but even farther.

Once the fighter planes hover over the sea for more than an hour, they must return home, and without the protection of the fighters, the bombers must also return to the sea, and then the naval resistance forces will be even more dangerous. It took at least two and a half hours for the fighters to go back and forth and the refueling time, and in these two and a half hours, the fleet was once again exposed to the Japanese air threat.
