On the third day after the end of the Tang-Japanese fleet battle, the aircraft carrier detachment in charge of the rear of the palace finally returned to its home port, Beixing Island.

The main Japanese fleet did not go and return after retreating. On the one hand, because they only lost some small ships of the Expulsion and Light Patrol classes, these small-sized divine cores did not care too much about the other party. And even if the Tang Army's high-level divine core is snatched back, if it wants to be used again, it will have to wait until a hundred years later, and it is better to hurry back to repair the ship when there is this time, so as to prepare for the next battle.

On the other hand, it is because of the cruelty of cosmic warfare! Fighting in a place like space, where humans can't survive, most of the crew's cabins will struggle to survive once the assimilation of the ship's hull is lifted. Only a few of the cabins have contained contained life-sustaining devices, and can continue to operate for up to 6 hours after the hull has been deassimilated, and when the time comes, it will still be dead.

However, no matter how difficult it is, there will still be some lucky ones who survive, and in the spirit of doing their best to obey the fate of God, the aircraft carrier detachment searched this wreckage-strewn star field for a full 7 hours, and miraculously rescued 1,248 people, of which 277 were still Japanese, including 37 officers.

At first, some crew members were angry, saying that they would kick these little devils out of the cabin to pay tribute to those dead comrades. It was Li Ti who came forward to protect these prisoners, and ordered all the officers and soldiers of the aircraft carrier detachment in the capacity of the royal family not to do such an ugly thing as abusing prisoners to lose the face of soldiers, and Ding Da's reprimand was more direct.

"Keep these guys' dogs' lives, maybe you will have to exchange them for your own people in the future!"

In this way, the aircraft carrier detachment returned to its hometown with 971 survivors, 277 prisoners and 63 divine cores in a state of suspended animation, and more than 25,000 naval officers and men are still buried in that star field, and the remains of many of them may never be found. For this reason, the officers and men of the aircraft carrier detachment have been in a very low mood for the past few days, and some officers and men have spontaneously set up a collective mourning hall for the victims in the hangar and keep a vigil for these martyrs.

Of course! Not everyone spends their time mourning the dead, and after participating in the first day of activities, Zhao Jian turned around and went to study the issue of carrier-based aircraft. This is a rare battle. That is, it proves that the aircraft carrier carrying space fighters has the strength to become a new type of capital ship, but it also exposes quite a lot of problems.

First of all, the issue of the protection of pilots! In the past, the top speed of ordinary fighter jets was only more than 700 kilometers per hour, but now after using the clone crystal, the flight speed in space has soared by nearly 20 times in one go. Even if there are elves to provide gravity offset, most pilots report that they are quite overwhelmed by the rapid speed when they return.

Then there is the problem of bombing! Without rangefinders and miniaturized ballistic computers, the bombs dropped by dive bombers and torpedo attack planes all depended on the pilot's visual inspection and experience. This directly led to the fact that many pilots who died in battle actually crashed into enemy ships themselves.

If the bomb is thrown far away, a battleship more than 200 meters long may be as big as a fingernail in the eyes of the pilot, and whether the bomb can hit or not depends on character and "faith"! And if the bomb is close. The distance of more than ten kilometers was reached in the blink of an eye, and before the nose of the plane could be raised, it hit people with bombs.

Like the guy who blew up the third turret of Mutsu, he is a typical "excellent character"! After his landplane finished dropping the bomb, it flew out of the ground by grazing the side of the Mutsu. When he returned to the aircraft carrier after the battle, he found that his entire belly was worn out, and he almost died on the deck of the Mutsu like other colleagues.

In fact, the 22 pilots lost by the air force in the entire battle were all died in such a tragic way. The anti-aircraft guns of the Japanese fleet "crackled" and fired a total of nearly 100,000 rounds. I was stunned to hand over a "white roll" and come out!

Collecting all the detailed data obtained by his side in actual combat, Zhao Jian was ready to start upgrading the carrier-based aircraft as soon as he returned. It is true that he likes big ships and huge guns (ru), but he cannot ignore the importance of "balanced development"!

Flat chest, giant (meow~) breasts, both hands must be tightened. Both hands must be hard!

In comparison, the Japanese Navy, the other side of the war, is much more brainless!

The Combined Fleet side also thought that it had gained a lot in this battle, but those "big ships and giant artillery" brainless fleet factions. However, it is believed that this battle once again verified the superiority of the Japanese Navy's tradition of "fleet decisive battle"! As for the aircraft carriers that performed brilliantly, that thing was an "evil way" that would not go long in their eyes.

In short, if you can win the battle, it means that this path is right...... At least that's what the senior officials of the Japanese base camp think.

However, not everyone in the top echelons of the Japanese Navy is a fan of the giant cannon, and Yamamoto 56 learned that the Tang Army aircraft carrier ran into space to release planes. After hitting the Mutsu again, I was shocked. For this reason, he hurriedly summoned Tarumi Yamaguchi, who was in charge of commanding the aircraft carrier task force during the operation, and after telling him about the situation, he asked him about his combat experience during the operation.

"Your Excellency, aircraft carriers are a very good new type of warship, although they are not enough to replace battleships, but they can definitely afford the status of 'capital ships'. I think there are two main problems restricting the use of aircraft carriers, one is the performance of carrier-based aircraft, which seems to have been solved by the Tang Army, and the other is the tactical application. ”

"Tell me about your experience in this battle, Yamaguchi-kun."

"First of all, aircraft carriers are not suitable for hard-to-head combat, both warships and carrier-based aircraft are too vulnerable. In our attack on New Arthur this time, the enemy made preparations in advance, and although our carrier-based aircraft completed the task, they also lost nearly half, otherwise I would have prepared to shoot down Beixing Island as well. In other words, if we want to use aircraft carriers to carry out a surprise attack next time, we must completely keep the enemy in the dark! ”

"I understand, thank you, Yamaguchi-kun, your words have benefited me a lot."

"Wherever and wherever I am, it's just because I'm on the ground, so it's more intuitive. Oh yes! I heard that you sent your daughter to study on Eta Island, could it be that you want to train a navy princess for Japan? ”

"Yamaguchi-kun, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so don't joke with me about it. Masako loves the navy, and I'm happy as a father. I'm not afraid to laugh at you when I say it, I even hope she can become the first female commander in command of the Navy. It's a pity that she has been sullen since she came back from the Tang Kingdom, and she must have made some new friends during her study abroad in the Tang Kingdom, so this war made her feel embarrassed in front of her friends! ”

"It's human nature, time will let it downplay all this."

"I hope so! I hope that this victory can force Datang back to the negotiating table as expected, and I hope that this victory will not overwhelm some people's brains, especially the little friend who holds the fate of Japan in his hands! (To be continued......)
