In the target plane, at the end of May and early June 1943, in the waters of the South Pacific, next to the Solomon Islands and near Bougainville Island, the largest aircraft carrier duel naval battle after the start of the Pacific Theater of World War II was being staged.

At this time, Nagumo Tadaichi's attack aircraft group had already flown over the Stars and Stripes Republic fleet, and the attack aircraft group sent by the Stars and Stripes Banner was still on its way.

Captain Saburo Saito, commander of the 1st Air Force Group (23 Zero Fighters) of the Japanese Nagumo Attack Aircraft Group, saw through the intermittent clouds and found that outside the window, under the bright sunshine, on the blue sea, there was a Stars and Stripes aircraft carrier formation in a ring defensive formation.

In the cab, Saburo Saito looked straight ahead, his mouth like a prayer and a pleading, and hummed to himself:

Go to the sea,

Let the sea soak the corpse;

Go up to the mountains,

They buried the bodies with grass.

Died for the Emperor,

There is no going back.

I reign as emperors,

Thousands of years,

small stones become boulders,

until moss grows.

Long live His Majesty the Emperor!

After his self-hypnotic finishing, he pulled the cāo as a pole, shook the wings, and signaled the attack to the teammates around him, due to years of cooperation and the explanation of the novices of the aviation school in the first two weeks, most of them could understand and follow his movements, and the 23 Zero fighters lined up in battle formation in turn and flew towards the carrier fleet of the Stars and Stripes Republic.

At the same time, the 18 "99" shipbursts and 29 Zeros of the 1st Attack Group, as well as the 17 "99" shipbursts and 24 Zeros of the 2nd Attack Group, also changed into offensive formations and flew towards the targets they had chosen before departure.

"Boom! Boom!! ”

"Boom! Boom!! ”

Soon, the anti-aircraft artillery of the Stars and Stripes Republic Navy showed its might, and the high-speed high-speed shells exploded like black flowers, and continued to bloom and disappear in front of and behind the Japanese attack planes, releasing the charm of death in a demonic way.

At the same time, more than 30 "Wildcat" fighters and "Black Widow" fighters over the aircraft carrier fleet of the Stars and Stripes Banner Republic also flew towards the attack plane formation of the Japanese Invaders to block them. When Captain Saburo Saito found out, he quickly twisted his wings to send a message, leading the 1st Air Force Group (23 Zeros) to face each other head-on and engage in a grappling fight.

"Take a deep breath, steady, steady!" Uesugi was a newly graduated naval pilot, and not long after he learned how to fly an airplane, he was assigned to the No. 1 Attack Team under the command of Captain Takahashi, responsible for piloting one of the 18 "99" ship bombs.

"Steady, dive, aim, drop, pull up." Nervous in his heart, Uesugi kept repeating the main points of the attack that Captain Takahashi had repeatedly emphasized.

On the sea, the Task Force TF38 of the Stars and Stripes Republic, the cruiser "Helena", began construction on December 9, 1936, and was launched at the New York Navy Yard on August 27, 1938, with a full load displacement of 13,400 tons. Equipped with 5 47 times caliber MK16 naval guns, arranged according to 3 in the front and 2 in the rear; 4 127-mm twin MK12 secondary guns; Equipped with a large number of 40 mm Bofors and 20 mm Erlikon anti-aircraft guns, it has strong air defense capabilities, and the captain of the ship is Lieutenant Carral.

"Fire, order the anti-aircraft guns to fire quickly!" Seeing the group of Japanese attack planes getting closer and closer, Lieutenant Caral commanded loudly from the bow.

“yessir！”

"Buzz~~Buzz~~~" The sound of the aircraft propeller is getting closer and closer, and the hearts of all the officers and soldiers of the cruiser "Helena" began to gradually rise to their throats, and the soldiers in charge of the high shè guns and high shè machine guns are frantically shry to vent the fear and anger in their hearts.

Uesugi's "Ninety-Nine" ship, dressed in green sè livery, was constantly rocking and dodging the high-profile shells. The silhouette of the warship in the distance is getting bigger and clearer.

"Closer, closer!" Uesugi in the cockpit looked at the light aircraft carrier "Princeton" of the Stars and Stripes Republic in the distance and said to himself.

However, good luck did not accompany Uesugi to the end, and soon a cannonball from nowhere hit the left wing of Uesugi plane, and the whole plane began to lose control, and the overwhelmed Uesugi instinctively recalled the conversation with his teammates last night.

"You might have to fight the Star-Spangled Guy tomorrow, how do you feel, Uesugi?" Yamaki stood on the deck and asked Uesugi beside him.

"Well, it's okay!" Uesugi returns.

"Aren't you nervous, aren't you excited? Blow up the enemy's aircraft carriers, show the might of the Imperial Navy, and make the enemy tremble under our wings! Yamaki, who had a fanatical face, couldn't help but say loudly.

"You're so excited, Yamaki-kun, calm down!" Uesugi, who has always been cautious and calm, had to persuade.

"No, Uesugi-kun, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, flying a fighter plane and fighting the enemy with real swords and guns!" Yamaki said as he held on to the railing of the warship, bent down, looked at the seagulls soaring in the air, and said, "Uesugi, I have thought about it, if I can attack tomorrow, I must achieve the result!" ”

"Yamaki, you're too excited, be careful, our planes are not invulnerable, and the enemy also has fighter jets and a large number of high-flying guns!" Seeing the ambition and pride of his fellow villagers, Uesugi couldn't help frowning and reminded appropriately.

"You're just talking about broken jade, I've thought about it, if my fighter plane is unfortunately hit, I will definitely fly the plane to the enemy's warship! Finish the last and most brilliant blow of my life! Yamaki replied with an unexpectedly calm voice.

"The last brilliant blow of my life?" Thinking of yesterday's conversation with Yamaki, Uesugi couldn't help but clench his grip on the Cāo stick and control the plane towards the nearest Stars and Stripes naval warship, the Helena.

Seven seconds later, with a loud bang, the starboard side of the "Helena" was torn open, a large amount of sea water poured in, and the hull began to tilt.

"Captain, the starboard side was hit, and the second and third compartments were flooded in large quantities!"

"Close the second and third compartments, quick!"

"Yes!"

"Captain, the hull is beginning to tilt to the right!"

"Immediately fill the fifth compartment on the left to maintain balance!"

"Yes!"

"Be careful, Captain, there's an enemy plane flying over!"

"Quick! Get down!! ”

"Da, da, da!!"

I saw that in the flash of light, the bow window of the "Helena" was swept by the machine guns of Zero Battle, and a large number of glass shards flew sideways, including the captain of the ship, Lieutenant Karar, many military headquarters in the bow were hit and fell, and the blood immediately stained the entire bow ground.

Three minutes later, with the successive hits of two 250-kilogram aerial bombs, the leaderless "Helena", in the chaos, with unwillingness and anger, slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, and the annular protective ring of the Stars and Stripes Navy TF38 Task Force was ruthlessly opened.

At the same time, the Nagumo Tadamii fleet ushered in the first wave of attack aircraft of the TF38 task force, about 30 bombers rushed under the escort of 30 fighters, and more than 70 Zero Battles hovering in the Nagumo fleet quickly met them.

Because Yamamoto Fifty-six deliberately increased the number of zero battles when configuring the Nagumo decoy fleet, resulting in the zero battles that Nagumo could flexibly grasp in his hands being one and a half times the normal configuration, which also caused the elimination of attack troops, Nagumo still had more than 70 fighters available in his hands, compared to the Stars and Stripes Republic attack aircraft group with only 30 escort fighters, two to one brought absolute combat superiority, only 10 minutes later, nearly 20 bombers and more than 10 fighters were shot down one after another, and the Japanese only lost 7 zero battles, The Stars and Stripes attack aircraft group had to make a strategic retreat and fly back to the original route, while the Japanese fighters followed closely, desperately biting the tail of the attack aircraft group, and the two sides flew away from the position of the Nagumo fleet while fighting.

Five minutes later, the first wave of attack aircraft sent by the TG50.3 task force with a total of more than 100 planes appeared in the dogfight airspace, and the pilots who were very caught by the Japanese invaders quickly separated more than 40 fighters, flew towards them, intercepted them, and immediately telegraphed to the Nagumo fleet.

The Japanese feints to attack the flagship of the fleet, the bow of the aircraft carrier "Ruifeng".

"What? Nearly a hundred enemy fighters appeared? Nagumo asked loudly.

"Hey! Your Excellency Commander, the telegram sent shows that they are 30 nautical miles southeast of our side, and Captain Yokota is organizing fighters to intercept them, but there are too many enemy planes to intercept them all at the moment, and with such a large attack force, the enemy is likely to have a second wave of attack planes! ”

"Hmm~~ order the fleet to turn around immediately, retreat in the direction of Rabaul as a whole, telegraph to the Rabaul Army Aviation Command, ask it to quickly send fighter planes to support, and immediately send a report to Commander Yamamoto's decisive fleet, informing us of the current situation of our army, estimating that the enemy should be in the southeast of our army, asking it to quickly concentrate reconnaissance planes for reconnaissance, and at the same time take off all the "99" ships on the deck with explosive energy, and one will be counted as one, and fly in a roundabout way to the southeast to carry out exploration and attack. Nagumo Tadaichi quickly commanded.

"Hey!!"

A minute later, Yamamoto Fifty-six's decisive fleet,

"Report, Your Excellency Nagumo sent a telegram, half an hour ago, the luring enemy fleet has discovered the enemy's first fleet position, a total of one heavy and one light two aircraft carriers, Your Excellency Nagumo's air attack aircraft group has set off, and at the same time, the enemy's air attack aircraft group has been intercepted by the escort fighters, but five minutes ago, the second wave of enemy aircraft appeared at the decoy enemy fleet, the number of more than 100 planes, the location is in the southeast direction of the decoy enemy fleet, and the location of its aircraft carrier fleet is temporarily unknown!" The adjutant ran up to Yamamoto and read the telegram aloud.

"Map!" Yamamoto said.

"Hey!!" The staff officer next to him quickly handed it over.

Yamamoto, who glanced at the map of the South Pacific a few times, set out with his finger from the position of the Nagumo luring enemy fleet, drew a line of 300 nautical miles along the southeast direction, and then pointed to another point of the line and said: "Send a report to all the reconnaissance planes sent out, concentrate on searching for a 200-nautical-mile radius centered on it, and find out the location of the main carrier fleet of the Star-Spangled Banner!" Immediately, immediately, understand! ”

"Hey!!"

Half an hour later, a second wave of attack aircraft from Task Force TG50.3 spotted Nagumo's fleet and began to join the attack. After another 10 minutes, the aircraft carrier "Flying Eagle" of the Nagumo Fleet sank after being shot, and another aircraft carrier converted from a merchant ship was also in danger, having already been hit by several bullets and losing most of its power.

At the same time, the Japanese reconnaissance planes discovered the specific location of the TG50.3 task force, and Yamamoto 56 ordered the first wave of attack planes, which had already risen into the air and circled, to quickly set off and go to the target sea area, and at the same time ordered the second wave of attack planes to immediately take off and join the battle.

Half an hour later, the third wave of attack aircraft of the TG50.3 task force arrived over the Nagumo Fleet and joined the attack, and three minutes later, the aircraft carrier converted by the Japanese merchant ships was sunk, the third aircraft carrier "Hayabusa" was shot and sunk, and the deck of the flagship of the Nagumo Fleet "Zuifeng" caught fire, and the four aircraft carriers of the entire decoy fleet had been removed from all four, with heavy losses.

At the same time, the first wave of attack planes sent by Yamamoto 56 had already arrived above the target fleet, but at this time, the TG50.3 task force only had 18 escort fighters hovering in the air to escort the escort, and the commander of the TG50.3 task force fleet, Rear Admiral Karl, because he was sure that the Japanese fleet had fallen into an attack with absolute superiority on his own side, was unable to launch a counterattack at all, so he did not leave many fighters to escort at all.

When he discovered the first wave of attack planes sent by Yamamoto Isoroku, Major General Karl's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but think, "It's over!" The piercing sound of air defense jingjing suddenly sounded in the TG50.3 task force, and the bombing of the Japanese attack aircraft group began.
