There was a scuffle over the Japanese battlefleet, and the Ming fleet was more than 20 nautical miles to the west. The Ming fleet also did not expect that the Japanese aircraft group would come so soon. Now, more fighters are being sent out to support. One fighter after another rushed out of the deck, pulling up and climbing into the sky. There were more and more planes over the Ming fleet, roaring and circling in formation like hornets. Then, the eastward march began.

1o minutes later, a large group of Ming fighters flew to the battlefield to the east and joined the battle group. At this time, the comparison of fighters on both sides was more than 70 for the Ming army and more than 20 for the Japanese army. The battle pattern was reversed in an instant, and the Japanese planes suffered heavy losses in a short period of time. The remaining bombers of the Ming army, as well as a dozen fighters of the first wave, seized the opportunity to return at this time and go back to replenish fuel and ammunition. Only the second wave of fighters of the Ming army remained, that is, that one brigade, more than sixty on the battlefield.

Soon, most of the Japanese fighters were shot down. There were only a few left, increasing the throttle to the east and leaving the battlefield.

The Tianquan, the flagship of the Ming aircraft carrier formation, issued an order that the fighter group should not pursue, half of it would return to the aircraft carrier to land, refuel and reload, and the other half would keep a low cruise in place and be alert to the sky.

……

The two lightning comings of the Ming army have already made the officers on the Japanese flagship see the clues. It is clear that the Ming aircraft carrier formation is very close to here, very close.

Takasu Shiro dictated a telegram to the Akagi aircraft carrier squadron, which was 8o nautical miles away, and ordered them to send bombers to search the sea area within a radius of 5o nautical miles, with the main fleet of the Hyuga as the center.

At the same time, the two aircraft carriers of the Ming Army were also sending bombers to search for the Japanese aircraft carriers in the direction from which the Japanese aircraft group came. However, the bombers sent by the Ming army were not formed in formation like the Japanese army, but were scattered, and they all flew alone. This is obviously not seeking to attack, but only to find the opponent's aircraft carrier. Moreover, the Ming army sent half of the bombers at once, and all that remained on the aircraft carrier were slow and heavy torpedo planes. It seems that the Ming army does not think about "what to do after finding the opponent's aircraft carrier".

At 7:4o, a detachment of Japanese bombers flew to a distance of about 1o nautical miles from the Ming fleet. Suddenly, the captain of a bomber could faintly see a white streak on the surface of the sea 18ooo meters ahead, through the thin clouds under the plane. There were a lot of fine marks, they were lined up, and they were still moving slowly.

He was full of excitement, and immediately pushed the goggles up, looked carefully with his naked eye for a few seconds, and immediately patted the driver in front of him, pointed in that direction, and signaled to lean over. The pilot soon saw it, turned his face and smiled, and was also excited, immediately pushed the control stick and dived down with the three bombers.

After swooping for a few minutes, the white marks below the front became more and more obvious, and the clouds and mist that appeared from time to time were also broken through, and it was clearly seen that a huge fleet was moving on the sea below.

The Ming fleet obviously also had bombers, and bright spots began to flash on the vague figures of warships below, and black clouds appeared in the sky.

The Japanese bomber detachments did not care. The leader radioed the position of the Ming fleet and led three bombers to dive down fearlessly. There was a muffled sound outside the cabin, the plane was violently shaken by the shock wave, and shrapnel also "clanged" on the fuselage from time to time. Three bombers aimed at the flagship of the Ming army, the Changping, and roared down.

"Boom! …… Rumble! …… Rumble! ”

Three water jets rose one after another around the Changping. Three Japanese bombers lined up in formation, neatly pulled up at the same time, and climbed again. Suddenly, one of the bombers dragged out a long straight gray smoke and was shot. But it barely followed the other two, flying higher and higher, farther and farther, and soon flew out of the range of the warship. Several Ming fighters who were on guard reacted at this time, and immediately increased the throttle and chased after them.

Now, the Ming army knows that the position of its aircraft carrier has been revealed by the Japanese. The Japanese army temporarily took the lead, and the Ming army would soon face the test of defending the aircraft carrier.

……

Sure enough, 32 minutes later, a dense small black dot faintly appeared in the east in the distance. Needless to say, it was the Japanese attack aircraft group. The Ming fighter group, which had been circling in the air for a long time, increased the throttle at this time and went up to fight the blockade.

The Japanese came this time with more than a hundred aircraft, one battalion each of bombers and fighters. This is also half of the Japanese aircraft carriers. At this moment, the Ming army was on alert in the air, and there was also a large group of fighters, and the two collided, and they fought around 3o nautical miles east of the Ming fleet.

The Ming Grand Fleet had formed a circular air defense formation, protecting the two aircraft carriers in the middle. Around the aircraft carrier, there are three battleships with the most firepower, and now they also "deign" to act as anti-aircraft fire platforms for the aircraft carrier. Together with the anti-aircraft guns of the two aircraft carriers, they form the core artillery fire layer. One layer further afield, a secondary layer of artillery fire consisting of light and heavy cruisers. The outermost layer, with more and smaller destroyers, formed the outer layer of artillery fire.

At this moment, this whole set of "mobile air defense platforms" is sailing at a high headwind, allowing the two aircraft carriers to release more fighters. At present, half of the Ming army's carrier-based fighters are fighting the Japanese army, and a considerable part is used for perimeter vigilance. There are not many forces that can be used in maneuver. But even so, the commander of the Ming fleet was worried that only one group of fighters would not be enough to stop a group of fighters and a group of bombers of the Japanese army. At the very least, there must be an advantage in the number of fighters.

The fighters of the two squadrons climbed up from the deck again and, after forming a formation, went east for reinforcements.

Now, there are no fighters on the two aircraft carriers of the Ming army.

……

At 8:5o, a few sporadic Japanese bombers rushed through the Ming army's "air blocking belt" and flew over the Ming army's large fleet. Suddenly, the three-layer circular prevention and control system below was in full swing, and the sky was covered with dense black clouds. A few minutes later, more Japanese bombers appeared.

The real test of the Ming fleet came.

But at this moment, a long-awaited report was sent to the command room of the Changping - a Ming bomber appeared in the position of the Japanese aircraft carrier formation!

For a moment, the officers in the flagship command room looked at each other and smiled, their expressions relaxed. It seems that a thousand pounds of heavy weight have been unloaded, as if the bombers roaring and diving overhead, and the water columns rising from left to right, are no longer a problem.

The staff officers gathered around the chart table, ignoring the rumbling of the sea and air battle outside, and buried their heads in their work. Triangles, compasses, protractors...... Eighteen weapons are on the line. After a few minutes, one of the staff officers looked up, beamed with joy, and said:

"Commander, as planned, the Japanese aircraft carrier has been brought to the predetermined range. Now the Akagi detachment is 1o5 nautical miles east of our ship, 652.3 kilometers away from Okinawa Airport in the northeast, and 546.4 kilometers away from Pingtung Airport in the northwest! ”

The Fleet Commander leaned back in the wide back of his leather chair with a tired smile on his face. He raised his hand and smiled:

"Electricity: Dinghaishen Needle!"

"Yes! Electricity, Dinghaishen needle!! ”

Moments later, a short set of clearcode messages spread out from the antenna of the Changping. There are only four words in the full text: Dinghai Shenpin.

……

According to this, on the Pingtung Airport at the southern end of **, 546.4 kilometers northwest, hundreds of pilots rushed to the runway. And on both sides of the runway, more than a hundred 6-base Kingfisher fighters roared, and the propellers rolled up a strong wind that swept across the airfield. The ground crew, having done the final checks, jumped off the wings, helped the pilots climb into the cockpit, and then helped them put on umbrella bags, life jackets, oxygen cylinders and other equipment.

As a green flare rose over the top of the terminal's control tower, all ground crews evacuated the runway. The first fighter roared and began to glide, and soon burst into the sky like an arrow. Immediately, the second and third fighters behind also rushed into the sky.

There were more and more fighters in the air, circling in formation. The airport below, and even the mountains in place, echoed with a low roar.

Two large groups of 128 fighters formed in the sky above the southern tip of the island.

These fighters, with a maximum combat radius of only 35o kilometers, have to go 546 kilometers away to engage in a fight with no return. The plan is to use these 128 6-base fighters and the remaining carrier-based fighters to form a powerful fighter group of nearly 2oo planes to annihilate dozens of carrier-based fighters of the Japanese army with absolute superiority. When the 128 6-base fighters ran out of fuel, the pilots parachuted over the Ming fleet, and the Ming destroyer fleet was responsible for salvage.

After that, only two brigades of carrier-based fighters of the Ming army remained in this sea area. The Japanese fleet also had only bombers and no fighters. The next thing was that the Ming fighters were responsible for defending the Ming fleet and annihilating the Japanese bombers. The task of the two bomber groups of the Ming army was to easily sink the two Japanese aircraft carriers and the remaining battleships. If possible, sink all the Japanese warships you can see.
