While the three Japanese fleets were moving, the Red Guard Navy's West White Tiger Fleet was also moving.

Unlike the Japanese Navy, which was divided into three fleets, the seven main aviation ships of the West White Tiger Fleet formed a huge maritime aircraft carrier battle group and acted together.

A large fleet is not good for hiding, but it can be quickly coordinated to act.

The Pacific War was not a contest between Japan and the United States in history, and the opponent faced by the Japanese Navy was not the United States in history.

In the original history, the United States at this time was not ready for a complete war, nor did it have the decisive force to start a decisive battle with Japan.

But the Red Guard Corps was different, and in fact, the tactics adopted by the Japanese were similar to those used against the United States in history.

When the three Japanese fleets were about to enter the Coral Sea, the early warning planes of the West White Tiger fleet discovered the Japanese carrier-based reconnaissance plane.

A search was carried out in the direction of the Japanese reconnaissance planes, and after half an hour, the location of one of the Japanese fleets was determined.

Unfortunately, the two heavy aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy were not found, only the lucky aircraft carrier Shoho.

Guo Shaohua immediately ordered the carrier-based planes to take off to attack, and 48 carrier-based planes took off and flew toward the Japanese aircraft carrier Xiangfeng under the protection of eight intruder carrier-based fighters.

Due to the close tracking of the carrier-based early warning aircraft, the carrier-based aircraft that took off to attack quickly found the Xiangfeng.

Five minutes later, the White Tiger, the command ship of the White Tiger Fleet, received a report from the attack formation, confirming that the Xiangfeng had been sunk.

The light aircraft carrier, which was more than 10,000 tons, could not protect itself at all, and the other warships guarding the Xiangfeng were all sunk quickly.

It was easy to destroy a Japanese fleet, but the White Tiger fleet was still very careful.

After all, the highlight of this naval battle is Japan's two heavy aircraft carriers, as long as these two aircraft carriers are killed and the Japanese sea fleet is destroyed, this means that from now on, the Japanese Navy has lost the most basic ability to dominate the sea.

At the same time as the Shoho was sunk, the Japanese Fifth Air Fleet also received reports of the enemy's situation, and two enemy aircraft carriers and two cruisers were discovered two hundred and eighty nautical miles south of the fleet.

Japanese commander-in-chief Narumi Inoue resolutely dispatched carrier-based aircraft, and the two aircraft carriers dispatched a total of more than 90 carrier-based aircraft to rush toward the target.

As a result, when the Japanese carrier-based aircraft found the target, they were depressed and wanted to vomit blood.

It was not that the Red Alert Navy was confusing Japan, but that the Japanese reconnaissance plane had seen the wrong target, and there were indeed four ships at sea, but they were not aircraft carriers and cruisers at all.

Of these four ships, two are large integrated supply ships, and two are very ordinary oil supply ships.

From a high altitude, the flat-roofed fuel supply ship is indeed a bit like an aircraft carrier, and the size and appearance of the integrated supply ship are indeed a bit similar to a heavy armored cruiser.

The frustrated Japanese Navy carrier-based aircraft did not attack, wasting ammunition on these four targets, which in their opinion, were useless.

What they didn't know, however, was that although Japan's Fifth Air Fleet was not found by AWACS aircraft, the carrier-based planes dispatched on a large scale completely exposed the location of the carrier-based aircraft when they encountered the integrated supply ships.

Although the integrated supply ship is only lightly armed and can deal with some gunboats and other targets, it is still equipped with a radar system.

The appearance of these carrier-based planes was immediately reported to the White Tiger Fleet, and these carrier-based planes were more than 400 nautical miles away from the position of the White Tiger Fleet, so although it is difficult to speculate on the specific location of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the early warning planes that have already been dispatched can follow these Japanese carrier-based planes at any time and accurately lock on the direction of the Japanese fleet.

Two hours later, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft unit, whose search had been fruitless, began to return home, and at the same time reported the details to the aircraft carrier.

When the Japanese fleet began to return home, a large number of carrier-based aircraft were dispatched to the aircraft carriers of the White Tiger Fleet, and a total of 140 carrier-based aircraft were dispatched, half of which were carrier-based fighters providing air supremacy.

Under the guidance of the early warning planes, these carrier-based planes finally "converged" with the Japanese carrier-based planes when they had returned to less than one-fifth of the distance.

At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and the Japanese carrier-based plane, which was in a hurry to return home, did not notice the tail following behind it at all.

Aircraft carriers in this period did not have the ability to take off and land carrier-based aircraft at night, and at night, it was best for all carrier-based aircraft to return before nightfall.

When the carrier-based aircraft returned, the Japanese radar also somewhat ignored the search for the radar signal, and at this moment the sky had darkened and the visibility was very low.

The radar soldiers on the Japanese warship, thinking that it was a carrier-based aircraft from their own side, did not care.

Just when the Japanese carrier-based aircraft were about to land with their signal lights on, the Red Alert carrier-based planes that followed closely behind launched a surprise attack.

Many Japanese carrier-based planes that were preparing to land on the aircraft carrier were quickly destroyed, and the intruder carrier-based fighters that rushed to the front also fired dense rockets one after another, covering the warships on the sea.

The carrier-based bombers that followed closely behind also approached and dropped torpedoes, diving down a bit and dropping bombs.

The Japanese Fifth Air Fleet was suddenly in chaos, and it was not until the aircraft carriers Shozuru and Zuizuru were all in flames that the other Japanese warships recklessly attacked all the flying targets in the sky.

But at this time, it is already too late to attack.

Several torpedoes and aerial bombs had already destroyed the Shohe and Zuihe, and the two aircraft carriers were on fire everywhere.

The torpedo exploded the hull, the manic sea water poured into the boiler room, the aircraft carrier began to tilt, and the two aircraft carriers, having long lost all their combat effectiveness.

The Japanese sailors on the aircraft carrier had already given up on the rescue, and those who could escape jumped off the aircraft carrier as soon as possible.

However, the attack was not over, and after the attack on the aircraft carrier, the Red Alert carrier-based aircraft unit did not spare the other Japanese warships on the side of the aircraft carrier.

A massacre from the air came to an end under the complete darkness of the night, and in the end, only two wounded Japanese Navy cruisers really escaped, hurriedly salvaged the soldiers who fell into the water, and then evacuated the battlefield as soon as possible.

It wasn't until the next day that the two burning Japanese aircraft carriers were completely silent, and there were still many Japanese sailors floating on the sea, but no one had come to the rescue.

Easily killed the three aircraft carriers in the target, this operation of the Japanese Navy, ended in a complete failure, if it were not for the transport fleet to get the news in time and quickly withdraw, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape the fate of being sunk.
