In Kwajalein Atoll, the sneak attack by the Maritime Resistance Army went smoothly.

Twenty-four fighters, twenty-four bombers, and twenty-four maritime reconnaissance planes, totaling seventy-two, launched the first wave of attacks.

Under Liu Gensheng's leadership, seventy-two warplanes flew over the clouds and began to reduce altitude only when they reached Kwajalein Atoll.

The division of labor among the pilots was clear, fighters and water reconnaissance planes were aimed at all Japanese aircraft and anti-aircraft fire, while bombers were supplements.

The Japanese army's vigilance was quite tight, even if it was raining on the gun emplacement, there was no shortage of people, and the Japanese lookout post did not dare to be sloppy at all on the high tower.

However, the sky was overcast, the clouds were thick, and there was still a slight rain in the sky, and the sight could not see the planes on the clouds at all.

The Naval Resistance Army dispatched all the fighters at one time, flying over the clouds like dark clouds. There were so many planes that the sound of huge engines came from the clouds to the clouds, and it was already like the buzz of flies. The Japanese lookout post did not realize that this sound was a group of planes approaching, and thought that it was thunder coming from a distance.

By the time the devil's observation post found out that one fighter plane after another had emerged from the clouds, it was too late. The devil gunners were dazed by the group of planes in front of them, and many of the devils were blown away by the bombs before they could fire their guns.

The lagoon of Kwajalein Atoll is not small, covering 70 square kilometres. But the island is only a few square kilometers. With so many warplanes accumulating in such an area, the sky seemed unusually crowded.

The air force of the Naval Resistance Army, whether it is a fighter, a bomber, or a water reconnaissance plane, has the same fighting style, and the high-altitude pilots have found their own targets and swooped down one after another.

Coincidentally, at the beginning of the battle, a bomb dropped by a seaplane seriously deflected the target and was blowing up the Japanese army's communication antenna tower. At this time, the devil's communication was affected, and the most important high-power radio stations were difficult to transmit. There were no high-power radios, and the communication distance of the devil's small radio station was only 1,000 kilometers, and Major General Muwei Gangdingdao, who was fighting on Wake Island, 1,500 kilometers away, knew nothing about the battle that took place in Kwajalein Atoll.

With sufficient information in advance, the air raids of the Naval Resistance Army were intensive and unflustered. You must know that the Maritime Resistance Army has set up a huge sand table in Tanggang, and the Maritime Resistance Force, whether it is aircraft carriers, warships, or even the army, has conducted many exercises. Although it was impossible to reconnoiter the exact arrangement of each of the Japanese anti-aircraft gun emplacements, the layout of the Japanese buildings on Kwajalein Atoll was very clear. The pilots were very clear about their assignments, so the attack was like an exercise.

The sound of dense explosions sounded on the small main island of Kwajalein, and in the face of the sudden blow, the little devils ran in a mess, and there were Japanese pilots who tried in vain to climb onto the runway.

The heavy aerial bombs of the Naval Resistance Force were extremely powerful, especially against the Japanese fighters at the airport, and the effect was even more astonishing.

With the earth-shattering explosions of one bomb after another, a large number of little devils were blown away, and many people were directly blown into minced meat or a cloud of blood mist, and there was no scum left.

I saw a bomb dropped right near a fighter plane, and with a loud "boom", the devil fighter plane a few meters away was immediately like a dead leaf in the cold wind, and it was actually overturned by the shock wave, and it began to burn in the air, just like the slow motion of a movie, and when the plane landed, a strong fire broke out, and this power was simply greater than the power of a 250-pound bomb.

The raging flames immediately covered the space of dozens of square circles, and in the violent air waves, there were also a large number of stumps and broken arms of Japanese soldiers. It is obvious that this Japanese fighter has just finished refueling.

The fighters kept bombing, and a heavy bomb fell, and a large crater appeared at the explosion point. Within a few tens of meters around the explosion site, there was minced flesh and blood everywhere, and at a distance there were stumps and severed arms.

The first explosion sounded at 11:30. In less than half an hour, fighters and seaplanes had completely dropped bombs. The Japanese army on Kwajalein Island built two runways, but so many warplanes dropped so many bombs, just the first wave of bombing, dozens of planes of the devils have been bombed in pieces, and not a single Japanese plane can take off at all, and many Japanese pilots who wanted to take off forcibly just climbed onto the fighters and were torn to pieces.

To talk about the Japanese land-based fighters, there are a few that were blown up after the propellers were activated. And the Japanese seaplanes, without even starting a single one, were completely blown up on the airfield of the seaplane. These seaplanes, usually not moored on the water, but pulled down the airfield on the shore and pushed into the water when they were used. As a result, these seaplanes suffered the fastest, becoming burning garbage in a matter of minutes.

Worried that there would be fish that slipped through the net, Liu Gensheng led a squad of fighters and a squad of reconnaissance planes to once again wreak havoc on the blazing Japanese planes over and over again. Since all the Japanese fighters were on conspicuous airfields, the first wave of the naval resistance forces had completely wiped out the devil fighters, and the results were outstanding.

Fighter planes and water reconnaissance planes began to strafe the devils running around the island with machine guns, so many war secrets were densely packed with flames, and the tongues of fire spewed out by the machine guns were impenetrable, plowing the island over and over again. The devil is quite brave, and there are soldiers rushing to the anti-aircraft gun position, but unfortunately, their actions are purely to send them to death. On this coral island, the little devils simply did not have too many anti-aircraft guns. The Naval Resistance Army only found a total of six anti-aircraft guns, and only two of them were slightly larger in caliber, which posed some threat to the fighters.

After a round of strikes, only one Japanese anti-aircraft gun remained. Due to the angle, it is difficult for fighters to bomb. On the emplacements of this last anti-aircraft gun, the corpses of Japanese soldiers were stacked on top of each other, and dirty blood mixed with rain flowed everywhere. The little devil knew that in this situation, all the fighters had been scrapped, and all the ships could not be saved, so in the wild screams of the devil commander, he kept adding manpower to this gun position.

Liu Gensheng became more and more excited the more he fought, and the fighter plane was almost close to the ground and was firing wildly. The bombing was interfered with by a hill, but the machine guns were not very limited by the angle, and several fighters closely watched the only Japanese gun position. The devils rushed to the gun position and were torn to pieces by machine gun bullets in less than a minute...... The intensive machine-gun strafing completely suppressed the Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns. After a short time, there was not a single devil in sight on the bare position, and all of them got into the fortifications.

The pilots of the dive bombers were not affected by the Japanese anti-aircraft fire, and seeing that there was really nothing to hit on the land targets, they directly began to bomb the Japanese ships. Although they were not proficient in dive bombers, they were not very difficult to strike at Japanese stationary ships on the water. The title of elite pilot of the Naval Resistance Army is not obtained for nothing, each of these pilots has more than 800 hours of flight time, even if the fighter plane they fly is not familiar, but they feel quite good in the air.

This American dreadnought bomber has two advantages, the first is that it has a long range and can reach 2,200 kilometers, so this bomber is also used as a reconnaissance aircraft on the Freedom Dragon aircraft carrier of the Maritime Resistance Army, and in fact, the American aircraft carrier also does this. The second has a large amount of bombs, which can hang more than 800 kilograms.

Twenty-four bombers, carrying seventy-two two-hundred-and-fifty-kilogram bombs. According to the results of the training, it is definitely more than enough to deal with only ten stationary warships on the sea.

The pilots of the Naval Resistance Force may have been a little uncomfortable when they dropped the first bomb, but with the second and third bombs, the familiarity of flying the P40 fighter slowly reappeared. As the pilots became acquainted, the hit rate increased rapidly.

Strikes against surface targets are only piggyback targets for the first wave of air strikes. But in fact, the results of the battle were not small at all, after a wave of bombing, at least half of the more than 10 ships of various Japanese forces had been seriously damaged and were slowly sinking.

The Japanese warships deployed in Kwajalein Atoll were not large ships, and they could not resist a few heavy bombs at all, and some ships could blow up into two sections with only one 250KG bomb.

At 1:30 p.m., 12 water reconnaissance planes were responsible for alerting the fleet, and 48 aircraft carriers and 48 fighters again made a full-deck attack and carried out a second strike on the Japanese surface ships.

During this period, a Japanese destroyer tried in vain to cross the waterway and escape into the sea, but was sent a torpedo by a Jianwei submarine, which had been lying in ambush near the waterway for several days, at a distance of 200 meters, and immediately broke into two pieces and sank into the sea.

After the bombing ended, Liu Gensheng's report was very sure that there was no need to bomb again, and the devil was absolutely that all the planes and warships had been destroyed, and the oil depots and other facilities had also been completely destroyed. Let's not talk about what the little devils killed in the bombing, and those who didn't die are now hiding in the fortifications. If the Maritime Resistance Force is not prepared to occupy Kwajalein Atoll, there is no need to completely destroy the ground forces of the devils, nor is it necessary to completely destroy the Japanese shore artillery installations. Besides, it is unlikely that the Navy alone will be able to achieve such a goal.

So Li Guang immediately gave the order -- pull it off, gather the seaplanes and evacuate Kwajalein Atoll. If, at the very beginning of the battle, the Japanese had sent planes from the Krut base to reinforce them, three hours would have been almost there. Li Guang was not greedy for the results of the battle, and the whole army of the Naval Resistance Army retreated north.

The aircraft carrier Liberty Dragon, close to the bombing target, dangerous, but fast-paced sorties. In less than three hours of fighting, the Navy's resistance forces made two sorties, destroying more than 60 Japanese fighters and sinking two destroyers, two submarines, six supply ships, and several small patrol boats and gunboats. The six large Japanese oil tankers were even more wolf-smoky, and the black smoke accompanied by orange-red flames rushed straight into the sky.

The Naval Resistance Army did not suffer any losses in this battle, except that a few bullet holes were fired from the wings of a fighter plane by a machine gun.

Liu Gensheng and his pilots were smiling, and the victory in the first battle made the morale of these young pilots burst.

Think about the Japanese army's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, that kind of result is indeed enough for the Japanese Navy to be proud of. Although the results of the naval resistance army cannot be compared with those of the Japanese army, they are quite satisfactory to Li Guang.
