Chapter 423: Pursuit of the Aircraft Carrier (Fourth Update)

At a time when the artillery formation of the Japanese naval task force was being besieged by carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, and the battleships were sinking one after another. The other fleet of the www.biquge.info task force fled in embarrassment.

The formation of the aircraft carriers 'Shozuru', 'Zuizuru', 'Kawauchi', 'Shentong', 'Asahio', 'Manchu', 'Taishio', and 'Arasao' was sailing rapidly to the east. The speed of the fleet has been increased to thirty knots. This is almost the maximum speed of a fleet.

"Yamasumi-kun, how is their situation?" On the aircraft carrier Shozuru, Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa asked with some concern.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the artillery formation is under siege by the China. Just after getting precious, the heavy cruiser 'Bird Sea' has been sunk. "Vice Admiral Arima, the captain of the aircraft carrier 'Shozuru', reported.

Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa's face suddenly became gloomy. He knew that the sinking of the heavy cruiser "Bird Sea" was only the beginning. Once there is a loophole in the anti-aircraft fire network of the shelling formation, other fighters of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army will immediately take advantage of this loophole to besiege the remaining warships. When the time comes, the entire artillery formation will be lost.

But alas, Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa has nothing to do about it. Isn't the aircraft carrier group he personally led also fleeing without his life? For fear of being caught by the fighters of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, and then unable to escape.

After losing all the Zero fighters, Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa knew that this time, they were indeed underestimating the enemy. Originally, it was thought that the fleet of two aircraft carriers and one battleship would be able to crush the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. But the reality gave them a slap in the face, letting them know how powerful the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is.

If Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa had been given another chance to choose, he would definitely not come to the rescue of the Southern Army. Even if you have to come to the rescue, you won't only bring two aircraft carriers. At the very least, it is necessary to bring all the aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy. In this case, there may be a slight chance of victory. It's just that it's too late to talk about it now. They had to evade the pursuit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Only in this way can you escape with your life.

"Let Yamacheng-kun and them escape as much as possible. Now we have no way to rescue them. Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa sighed. Since the outbreak of the war, the Japanese navy has not encountered such a situation.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. I believe that Shan Chengjun and them will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune. Arima Masamune said. Of course, he knew that such a possibility was almost non-existent.

"Order the radar to turn on and closely monitor the nearby airspace. As soon as the fighter plane of the Chinese is spotted, it immediately turns. Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. However, the fighters of the Chinese are busy besieging and shelling the formation, and they probably don't have much strength to attack us. Arima Masamune said.

"Who can guarantee that the people of China will only have a small number of carrier-based aircraft forces? Perhaps, their carrier-based aircraft force is more than we imagined, and its strength is more powerful than we imagined. Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa muttered.

Although, Arima Masato Daisa does not agree with this point of view. Still, he did. After all, Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa is the commander, and his orders must be obeyed.

When their radar was turned on, it was immediately found on the radar display screen that a large group of light points in the northwest direction were rapidly approaching.

"Report to the sir, a large number of enemy planes have been spotted, and they are rapidly approaching." The radar soldier reported.

"What? How many? How far are we from it? The officer asked.

"There are about a hundred of them, and we are less than fifty kilometers away." The radar soldier reported.

"Baga, monitor immediately, and I will report to His Excellency the Captain immediately." The officer's face changed dramatically.

He immediately grabbed the phone and reported the situation to the command tower on the bridge. When Arima Masato got the news, his whole face became bloodless.

"What's wrong? Arima-kun? Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa asked. He also realized that something bad seemed to be happening.

"Your Excellency, the radar corps reports that a fleet of hundreds of fighters is rapidly approaching. It's less than fifty kilometers away from us. Arima Masa's face was ugly.

"What?" Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa was also shocked, his body was shaking, and he almost didn't stand firm.

"How so? How could those people still have so many carrier-based aircraft? How many carrier-based aircraft did the Americans give them! "Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa was a little crying.

When the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army besieged the artillery formation, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that he could sacrifice the artillery formation to ensure the safety of the two aircraft carriers. However, what he never expected was that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would still have hundreds of carrier-based planes to pursue them. In this case, their aircraft carrier formation is also in crisis.

"Your Excellency, what shall we do now?" Arima Masato Dazuo was also a little panicked. With the loss of all the Zero fighters, they could only rely on the anti-aircraft fire of the fleet itself to deal with the enemy's fighters. However, their anti-aircraft fire network is not tight! It can be said that there are loopholes everywhere. It is simply unrealistic to want to fend off the enemy's attack.

"Order the fleet, prepare for air defense! Amaterasu blessed us. Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa said.

Now he can only pin his hopes on the anti-aircraft fire of the fleet, which can withstand the attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. However, he also knows that it is very difficult. I can only hope that the god Amaterasu they believe in can bless them in the underworld.

The aircraft carrier group that pursued the Japanese army was the 2nd Group of the Carrier-based Aircraft Unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. Counting the spare aircraft, the entire brigade dispatched a full hundred aircraft. They did not compete with the 1st Group for the Japanese artillery formation, but went straight to the Japanese aircraft carriers. Compared with the two aircraft carriers, "Xianghe" and "Zuihe", the battleship and the two heavy cruisers that shelled the formation were not so important.

Another aircraft carrier formation consisting of two aircraft carriers, two light cruisers and four destroyers is the big fish!
