3:15 p.m.

Six Japanese Zero fighters appeared on the radar screen of the Naval Resistance Army's alert fighters.

These six Zero fighters are the only six carrier-based aircraft left in Ozawa's fleet. Before the crippled fleet was destroyed, Jizaburo Ozawa could still say one thing: this battle was a great victory. But after the complete destruction of the five warships, Jizaburo Ozawa could not say such a bold statement.

Although the number of warships lost was small, the calculated displacement was almost 90,000 tons. Almost twice the number of losses of the Tanaka fleet.

It was only at this time that he understood that the U.S. and Japanese troops had suffered heavy losses, and the Naval Resistance Army (now Ozawa Jizaburo knew that it was the handiwork of the Naval Resistance Army) was purely easy to pick up leaks, and there was no loss at all. More importantly, he figured out one thing - General Yamamoto Fifty-six must have died at the hands of the Naval Resistance Army. In this way, the resentment can be imagined.

Jizaburo Ozawa is gritting his teeth and has no way to retaliate. At noon, the Japanese water reconnaissance plane sent back the azimuth course of the naval resistance fleet. As a result, Ozawa Jizaburo did not care that the distance had exceeded the combat radius of 700 kilometers, let alone whether the attack of the six elite pilots could be effective, and only six Japanese fighters took off again under the order. Gamblers are like this, they will not stop without losing the last copper plate.

It should be said that the pilots of the six Zero fighters that were the only remaining of the Japanese army were of high quality and luck. With a flight distance of more than 700 kilometers, it was possible to find the naval resistance fleet. You must know that the Naval Resistance Army has been evacuated from the battlefield for more than two hours and has already sailed more than 100 kilometers, and the Japanese army is still a single-seat Zero fighter that is not suitable for reconnaissance, so it is so difficult to find it that Li Guang suspects that even the technology of the 21 st century will not be able to do it. It's a little unbelievable that the devil is lucky.

However, the six Japanese pilots with the belief of death really found the naval resistance fleet, and the facts were in front of them. Even as an opponent, Li Guang couldn't help but praise.

When the Japanese fighters approached the aerial reconnaissance planes of the Naval Resistance Fleet, the good fortune ended.

There are two aircraft carriers of the Maritime Resistance Army, and the pilots on the Indian Ocean have made outstanding achievements.

The reconnaissance aircraft on the aircraft carrier Liberty Dragon contributed a lot. Only the fighters on the aircraft carrier Liberty Dragon have not had a chance to make a sortie from morning to now.

Oh, not right either. It still made a sortie, but the combat exploits were really pitiful, and only one Japanese water reconnaissance plane was killed.

The flight captain on the Liberty Dragon is Liu Gensheng, and this kid is already waiting for a hurry. From morning to now, his landline has only warmed up three or four times. Fuel consumption was hundreds of liters, but there was never a chance to make a sortie.

When the alarm sounded and the order to attack had just been issued, Liu Gensheng led twelve Wildcat fighters to quickly rise from the deck like lightning.

The Naval Resistance Force has now summed up effective tactics against the enemy. Under the guidance of the radar, the fighter plane occupied a high-altitude position as soon as it took off.

If the previous experience of air combat with the naval resistance army. Dealing with six Japanese Zero fighters, two to one troops. There is almost absolute certainty. And there are almost no casualties.

However, in the first round, the fighters of the Maritime Resistance Army suffered three to three casualties.

The group of naval defense planes swooped down from a high altitude, the speed was like lightning, and the machine guns spat out tongues of fire.

The Japanese fighters were caught off guard and were quickly approached by the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army. The pilots of the Naval Resistance Force have been trained hard for a long time and have shown their might.

The first wave of dive attacks was carried out by six Night Cat fighters. Three Japanese fighters were a little clumsy and were immediately locked up by the cannons, and the Wildcat fighters spewed out tongues of fire.

However, just when the Japanese fighter plane was hit. Sudden mutations.

Three Japanese Zero fighters exploded violently in the volley.

The fighter plane was hit, and it is not surprising that there was an explosion. However, the strange thing is that the power of this explosion is so terrifying that the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army were two or three hundred meters away from the Japanese fighters, and they were actually disintegrated by the volley of shock, and the wildcat fighters could not stop the power of the shock wave of the explosion.

It turned out that the three Japanese Zero fighters were actually carrying out a kamikaze special attack mission, and the fighters carried hundreds of kilograms of explosives.

And these three Japanese fighters, precisely because they carried a large amount of explosives, were slow to move and were killed by the first round of strikes. And the large amount of ammunition it carried also caused the Naval Resistance Force to lose three fighters. Two out-of-control fighters plunged headlong into the sea, and only one pilot parachuted out.

Accidents occurred from time to time during the war, and the fighters of the Naval Resistance Force did not pause for a moment from this attack.

Liu Gensheng bit a Japanese Zero fighter in the first wave of the dive, but when the cannon fired, it was lightly dodged by the opponent.

There was almost no time gap, and Liu Gensheng's wingman immediately dived down again from a high altitude, but was once again dodged by Japanese fighters.

This is quite unusual. You must know that the wheel dive of the long wingman of the Maritime Resistance Army rarely misses. Especially Liu Gensheng, a young man, was the first to contact flying in the Maritime Resistance Army. As early as when he was serving as Li Guang's guard, he began to learn to fly fighter planes, and his technical level was absolutely first-class among the naval resistance forces. And Liu Gensheng's wingman pilot is not a rookie, and there are five small suns clearly painted on the fighter (shoot down a Japanese fighter plane, draw a small sun. He is also a well-known ace pilot.

Liu Gensheng understands very well that this is a master. When he pulled up again and looked for his target, he realized that his wingman had not followed.

From the wingman in the headset exclaimed: I was bitten.

didn't wait for Liu Gensheng to find the location of his wingman.

A flash of fire erupts in the distance, and the wingman loses telecommunications contact.

"Shot down."

Liu Gensheng was furious and looked around for Japanese fighters.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow passing across the clear sky. Intuitively feeling danger, Liu Gensheng slammed the accelerator and turned on the rocket-booster device.

Liu Gensheng had a keen intuition, and as soon as he turned on the booster device, a series of machine gun bullets like flying locusts passed by the fighter, and the fighter shook slightly, and he was already injured.

A good Liu Gensheng, turned his head and stared at the Japanese Zero fighter. Without looking ahead of him at all, the power was fully loaded, the throttle was fully open, and the fighter plane was like a vigorous eagle, quickly turning from a level flight state to almost vertical upwards, and then drew a big circle in three dimensions. This series of actions is all based on feelings. During the whole process, there was no visual correction of even a little flight posture. But his fighter plane seemed to have eyes, and he actually made maneuvering adjustments when drawing a three-dimensional circle.

Wait for the fighter to draw the last arc of the circle. The four machine guns were fully fired, and the fierce machine gun bullets were as accurate as whips to draw the Japanese fighters.

When the battle was over, Liu Gensheng learned that the final result was 6 to 5, three pilots were killed, and two parachuted. One of the Japanese pilots who was captured was the pilot of the Zero fighter shot down by Liu Gensheng.

However, the Naval Resistance Army did not vent their anger and kill this devil pilot, but tapped the potential of this devil. Later this Japanese pilot named Koji Sato provided very valuable information.

－－

When night fell, the Maritime Resistance Army could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's really hard to beat. This is Li Guang's evaluation of the battleship Nagato.

The battleship built by the little devil is indeed unique, and a total of nineteen bombs were hit by just one thousand pounds. It's still holding on, it's really enough to resist the beating.

The battleship Nagato, which had resisted the bombing of two American atomic bombs in its original history, remained on the surface for several days before sinking into the sea. Its robustness is evident.

－－－－－

There were no enemy planes in the sky, and Yasuhiro Nakasone, who miraculously survived, wasted his strength. Finally climbed to the deck.

There were several people in the stern of the ship fighting the fire. On the main deck, except for the steel plates that opened wide and rolled outward. It is almost impossible to find a living crew. The upper deck was more damaged and riddled with bullet holes.

An armor-piercing bullet burrowed into the first aid station, killing the wounded, doctors and paramedics, and the blood flowed like hell.

Young Shaozo trembled. Stagger down the deck and go straight to the zombies.

After this battle. This young man, who later served as Japan's prime minister for three consecutive terms, was already afraid of the force of the Tang Dynasty to the core. During his tenure as prime minister, it was the most "friendly" period between Tang and Japan.

－－

After a long time, Li Guang knew that his regrets were even greater.

The battleship Nagato. On this day did not sink. But the situation is also terrible, and the remaining devils can't stop the sea from entering. And since the communication facilities were completely blown up, the main forces of Ozawa's Jizaburo fleet did not know about the situation of this battleship.

If Jizaburo Ozawa had sent the warship earlier, he might have been able to tow it back for repairs. But Ozawa thought that Nagato had sunk and did not send a battleship to the rescue. This steel giant with a full load displacement of more than 40,000 tons floated on the sea for four days, and then it had no choice but to fall and sink into the sea.

If the Maritime Resistance Army really sent a ship to tow it, it was likely to capture this battleship easily, which is why Li Guang regretted it.

The surviving Japanese troops, including Yasuhiro Nakasone, drifted on the sea for several days before being rescued by several Japanese submarines. Of the warships with more than 2,000 people, less than 200 survived, which was extremely miserable.

At the end of the war, Japan had only four battleships left, of which the Yamato and Musashi were still the centerpieces, while the other two were now being converted into aircraft carriers on the mainland.

If you pay attention, the reader will find out - where did the sister ship of the Nagato, the battleship Michinoku, go?

The battleship Mutsu was not sunk by the Naval Resistance Force, nor was it killed by the American Army. This capital ship was in the port of Japan's mainland a few months ago, and for some reason, perhaps because of its misanthropy, it blew itself up and sank.

After this battle, Japan no longer has an aircraft carrier that can serve as the main force. As for the regular aircraft carrier Taiho under construction, as well as the aircraft carrier Shinano, which is preparing to be refitted, it is difficult to say whether there will be a chance to go to the battlefield.

However, the only four modified aircraft carriers and light aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy are not only weak in combat effectiveness, but no one knows when they will be able to replenish enough pilots and fighters, in short, it will take time.

On the whole, the Japanese army lost more than 60 warships of various types and nearly 1,000 fighters in this battle, and its vitality was greatly damaged.

Therefore, Jizaburo Ozawa was depressed.

Is this battle the right or wrong?

Hit it right, because the US Fifth Fleet suffered heavy losses, almost all capital ships were hit, and in the following time, there were no large-scale offensive operations for more than half a year.

If you make a mistake, the Japanese army will also suffer heavy losses. Moreover, because the U.S. military assigned the Seventh Fleet to Marshal MacArthur of the Army, the original garbage fleet began to show its edge.

Jizaburo Ozawa had no answer, and the entire Japanese Navy could not find an answer.

Li Guang said: It is a mistake to fight, and it is still a mistake not to fight. From the moment Japan provoked the Pacific War, Japan was doomed to defeat, and the tide of the war could not be reversed. (To be continued......)
