The Oriental Blue Dragon Fleet, which completed the first round of attacks, also soon ushered in a retaliatory attack by the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet.

Yamamoto Isoroku, who received complete information about the battle, worked out a response plan as soon as possible.

The enemy cannot be allowed to attack.

Just take advantage of the gap between the return of the enemy's carrier-based aircraft to make a quick sortie.

And in fact, Yamamoto Fifty-six is absolutely unwilling to entangle with the enemy here. Entangled, even if the two main aircraft carriers are lost, in Yamamoto Fifty-six's view, it is still necessary to withdraw first.

It's not that Yamamoto Isoroku doesn't intend to take revenge, but there is no way at all, and at the moment the fuel of the combined fleet has reached the minimum standard, and it is simply impossible to continue fighting.

But in the face of the pursuit of the enemy's fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku also knew that it would be difficult to get rid of it.

After all, the enemy's fleet has a speed of more than 30 knots for the entire fleet, and it is very difficult for Japan to get rid of such an enemy.

What's more, even if you want to evacuate, you can't let the enemy attack.

The Japanese carrier-based aircraft group, which had taken off quickly, immediately formed an attack formation to look for the first squadron that had been detected before.

But the 1st Squadron was no longer in its previous position, but was moving in the direction of the 2nd Squadron.

The AWACS aircraft provided information on the attack of enemy aircraft at the first time.

On the second fleet, the battle alarm sounded on the three aircraft carriers for the first time.

"Emergency! All fighter divisions were immediately ready to take off, and the fighters on standby immediately took to the air. ”

In the rest compartment of the fighter division, you can see one by one the fighter divisions, quickly running out of the cabin, still wearing flight suits.

On the aircraft carrier Xinyue Fox, the first batch of carrier-based aircraft that were on standby on the deck took off quickly, and the first batch of carrier-based fighters also quickly took off on the Tail Fire Tiger and Misui Leopard not far away.

Thirty-six carrier-based aircraft, quickly taking off, left the direction of the fleet and, under the guidance of AWACS, flew in the direction of the incoming Japanese carrier-based aircraft.

At the same time, on the three aircraft carriers, the second batch of carrier-based aircraft ready to take off is also preparing for takeoff, and a few minutes later, the second batch of carrier-based aircraft can also take off to intercept the airspace.

The Red Alert Navy has always intercepted the enemy from the fleet, and even if there are one or two carrier-based planes that break through the interception, it will be difficult to bring any major damage to the fleet.

On the deck, planes were transported to the line ready to take off, and the pilots inside the fighters waited for the order to take off.

"What's the situation? The Japanese have not been beaten yet? ”

"Maybe those guys in the First Squadron are too gentle."

"No, didn't they sink the Akagi and Kaga soon, and the Japanese still dared to take the initiative?"

"It should be that the enemy doesn't know that their Zero fighter is scum in front of us."

"When the squadron in front encounters enemy aircraft, it will naturally send relevant news, so we will wait."

Inside the fighter plane, one by one, the fighter divisions chatted very easily, passing the next few minutes.

When the signal for take-off was lit up, one carrier-based plane after another took off, and the second batch of 36 fighters intercepted also took off into the air to form an interception formation.

At the same time, the three carrier-based aircraft squadrons that had already intercepted the Japanese aircraft group also sent the latest news:

"Brother in the back, we let go of the Japanese bombers, and we will hand them over to you, and the Zero fighters will be handed over to us."

When the mission came, many helpless voices sounded in the second batch of interceptor groups: "It's always the people in front who eat meat, and we drink soup." ”

"Whoever makes those guys in front of us aces, we will clean up the bombers of Little Japan with peace of mind."

"What a trump card, it's just a little luckier, I got enough targets, and everyone is between them."

"But compared to the Zero, I prefer to attack Japanese bombers, after all, there are at least two Japanese pilots in a bomber."

The last voice came out, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

In the face of bombers, the interception of fighters is naturally nine out of ten.

"I won't talk about it more, although we have received an easy mission, but don't forget the fleet behind us, the easier the mission, the more careful, my request is very simple, that is, not to let go of any Japanese plane, close to our fleet." The squadron leader, the leader, commanded on the radio channel.

"No problem, kill little Japan."

At the sound of the order, all the carrier-based fighters once again increased their speed, and at the same time, the AWACS aircraft also sent the latest report on the position of the enemy aircraft.

At this time, the Japanese carrier-based bombers and torpedo planes, which had just broken away from interception, were still approaching the direction of the Second Squadron with great momentum without the protection of escort fighters.

At this time, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft pilots were all not afraid of death, but also elite, and they had confidence in themselves and blind confidence in the empire.

The fighters have pinned down the enemy's interceptor fighters, and for the bombers, this is the best opportunity to attack.

Approaching the enemy's fleet targets would certainly inflict heavy damage on the enemy, for there were forty dive bombers and twenty torpedo planes.

With such a powerful air force, coupled with the fact that they are getting closer and closer to the target, all the Japanese carrier-based aircraft pilots are full of confidence.

However, they did not see that above their heads, where the clouds were obscured, thirty-six fighters under black pressure had already spotted them.

"Attack and stop the bombers of Little Japan."

The squadron leader gave the signal to attack, took the lead in maneuvering the aircraft, diving down from a high altitude.

For all the Red Alert fighter divisions who advocate elegance and perfection, the dense formation of bombers is simply not beautiful, only thick texture.

The Red Alert fighter division will never show mercy to such a target, because the Red Alert Air Force, which has always paid attention to absolute air supremacy, knows best how terrifying the advantages brought by air supremacy are.

The nimble Intruder fighter, with its down-tilted fuselage, slender wings and elegant fuselage, is also adjusted to the optimal angle of dive.

The power of the fighter jet let out a beastly roar, and the plane was a rapid increase in speed, and the violent push back feeling pressed all the fighter divisions. on the back of the seat.

On the instruments in the cabin, the speed gauges of the Intruder fighters rose rapidly, gradually increasing from 500 to 700, and quickly approaching 800.

In World War II, fighters capable of flying at such speeds, have not yet appeared.

What's more, at such a speed, the speed of the aircraft is still increasing.

When the distance was shortened, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group also discovered the incoming fighters, and the heavy aircraft group dispersed in an instant.
