Under the order of Yamamoto Isoroku, the Japanese fleet was divided into five routes, forming 4 assault teams and 1 sentry team. Among them, the attacking team is mainly battleships and heavy cruisers, supplemented by light aircraft carriers and aircraft carriers (water engine carriers) to cooperate with air supremacy to intercept the enemy, and specifically deal with the asteroid fortresses of the US military.

The sentinel team is based on the four regular air carriers of the Nagumo Mobile Force as the core, and the two "high-speed battleships (battle cruisers)" of Kirishima and Haruna and several light high-speed ships provide escorts for them, and they are mobile patrols in the relatively backward area, providing a wider range of warning circles for the attacking team.

And because several U.S. fortresses were not very far apart, the dozen or so liaison transit ships accompanying the Japanese army were enough to ensure smooth communication for all fleets, and Yamamoto Isoroku, who was in command, could keep abreast of the situation of several other fleets as long as he stayed on the Yamato of the first attack team.

After the attack officially began, the first attack team was the first to find its target. It was a mining asteroid in the shape of Magatama, with an overall height of more than 700 meters and a diameter of nearly 400 meters at the widest point of the lower part.

But no matter how large the size of the asteroid is, it is just a stone that does not move, and if it were not for the fact that there were too many space pumice stones in the shattered star area, the battleship could completely bombard the fortress at an ultra-long distance.

However, the first attack team soon found that the fortress was much stronger than they had previously anticipated. The main striking force of the first assault team was the three battleships Yamato, Nagato, and Mutsu, and in terms of firepower, it was the strongest of the four assault teams. But even Yamato's 18-inch guns were not very effective against asteroids.

Because the main body of these asteroids is made of rock, the acid bombs that the Japanese army is proud of are almost useless. Conventional ammunition hitting a huge asteroid, with a crater seven or eight meters deep, is similar to the effect of squeezing a pimple on a person's face. If the Japanese army continued to fight according to this damaged process, even if the Japanese army ran out of ammunition brought with them, they would not be able to blow up these fortresses.

And the resistance of the US military is also quite fierce!

These asteroids were originally mining areas, and there were passages in all directions. The U.S. military has placed a large number of light and dark fire points on the surface of the star, and some large-caliber fortress guns have even been dismantled from the battleships that were sunk in Pearl Harbor.

It is worth mentioning that the U.S. military placed these heavy guns on small spaceships to obtain the performance bonus brought by assimilation, and then buried these mini heavy gunboats in the asteroid entirely, and then made a super-thick gun shield with reinforced concrete on the surface, leaving only a small firing port.

In this way, although the firing range of the main gun is pitiful, it can greatly improve the survivability.

Until this time. Only then did the commanders of the Japanese attack teams discover that the tactics of the Kuroshima staff officers were particularly "duang (note (1))", and the real fight was not so smooth at all.

In fact, the tactics of dividing troops by the Kuroshima Kameren were based on the premise that the US military would collapse at the touch of a button, and the Japanese army could quickly solve these fortresses by virtue of their superior forces. But in fact, the morale of the defenders of these fortresses was not as low as he imagined, and even in terms of fighting spirit, they were not inferior to the Japanese army at all.

And the reason why the U.S. military was able to bounce back from the shadow of Pearl Harbor so quickly was due to the fighting of Doolittle's squadron in the skies over Tokyo. Their heroic deeds have been widely publicized by the media and have become household names in the United States. Compared to the slight damage caused by the bomb to Japan. The spiritual significance of this action itself is the most important gain for the United States!

In the face of the rain-like shelling of Japanese warships, the resistance of the American troops in the fortress was extremely tenacious, and at the same time, the fighters who took off from the fortress also fought to the death with the elite of the Japanese Navy. Although the F2A and F4F from the Navy and the P-40 from the Army are no match for the Japanese Zero in terms of airframe performance, they have a momentum inspired by a desperate situation. The two sides were inseparable for a while.

In this stalemate, in addition to the first attack team, the other three fleets successively sent a signal for help, hoping that the mobile troops of Nagumo wandering around the periphery could come over to help.

And Nagumo, who is also eager to get the results of the battle, also hopes to send a fleet of planes to help. However, Yamamoto Fifty-six strictly ordered him not to leave his post without permission. So far, the Japanese reconnaissance force has not found any trace of the American army and the Sea Serpent fleet, but it is based on the intuition of the soldiers. Yamamoto was sure they must be watching nearby.

If Nagumo joins the attack without authorization, the entire fleet will have no guards!

And Nanyun naturally understands this truth, so no matter how itchy he is, Nagumo still patiently did not release the attack plane, but took precautions to move the bomb out. Looking at the mess of dangerous things on his deck, Kaga instinctively felt a little uneasy.

"Crew, why are the planes loaded with torpedoes, and the bombs are still being put out?"

"Kaga Nakasa, this is General Nagumo's order, if Admiral Yamamoto agrees to let us participate in the operation to attack the fortress, this will save a certain amount of time for changing clothes."

"But wouldn't it be dangerous to put it in the open like this?"

"Don't worry, Nakasa, it'll be fine!"

Looking at the relaxed expression on the face of the captain of the maintenance team, Kaga's heart did not feel steady. At this time, the ship's radio broadcast an operational notice, the fourth attack team encountered an emergency, their Hyuga suddenly "old wounds" recurred, and the fifth turret, which had just been repaired for less than 2 days, flew again.

In desperation, the Hyuga once again withdrew from the battle, and the fourth attack team was suddenly left with only the battleship Ise, so Yamamoto agreed to let Nagumo send a third of the attack aircraft to help.

After learning the good news, the pilots of the First Air War immediately danced with joy, while the rearmament troops could only force themselves to replace the torpedoes that had been hung up with great difficulty into bombs.

Under Nagumo's order, the four aircraft carriers of the 1st and 2nd Naval Battles each sent one-third of their carrier-based aircraft to the Fourth Assault Team, while the remaining planes continued to stand by on the ships.

At this time, the staff officer beside Nanyun should replace the remaining half of the planes with bombs, because the attack planes just released should not be enough to deal with the US military fortress, and they definitely need to do it again. It is better to change the bombs in advance, and release the second wave when the first wave returns, forming a continuous offensive.

Nanyun thought about it for a while, and felt that this Jian yì was good and could effectively improve the attack efficiency, so he adopted the other party's Jian Yì. So the decks of the two aircraft carriers in one flight were busy again......
